Chapter 33 Those who can work harder

It is also a cocktail bar of "Lucky 38".

"You're the new boss of New Vegas......" Sue's mouth couldn't close when he saw Long Jing. I didn't expect ...... at all."

Although the robot "Victor" who rescued her from the grave told her that the new boss was an acquaintance when he first found her. However, when Long Jing appeared in front of her, Miss Postman's heart almost jumped out of her chest, as if some kind of person who didn't dare to speak out and was careful to be known by someone who cared.

"Actually, I didn't expect it either." Long Jing shrugged and asked the robot to bring the drink, while looking at the lady sitting next to Su, "Why don't you introduce your friend?" ”

"Huh? Oh, yes. Introduce! This is Winnie. For some reason, Miss Postman looked a little flustered. Veronica had no choice but to speak to herself, "Hello, Mr. Grab Genbao. I'm Veronica. You can call me Winnie the same way Sue does. ”

Sure enough, it was Veronica. Long Jing nodded at her, then looked at Su, who was a little strange, and the postman lady made eye contact with him, her face suddenly flushed, and she tilted her head to the side.

“…………”

Could it be...... Broke something about me, or took the sheep by the hand? Long Jing thought back to what he would do when he was playing the game, but he didn't have a clue at all. But it doesn't matter, it's still about getting down to business.

"Actually, this time in addition to inviting you to be guests. There are still some things I want to tell Miss Su......"

"Mary! Just call me Mary. Sue interrupted him suddenly.

"Oh......" Long Jing was a little surprised why she was obsessed with this, so he said, "So...... How about calling you Susu? The name Mary is a bit too popular. Susu is the name of one of my favorite poems. Actually, it was the name Mary that reminded him of some of the experiences he didn't want to remember when he played Bloody Mary in his freshman year.

......There is no longer poetry in the wasteland, but Sue still knows from some literature that poetry should be the way people in the old world praise good things.

(Is he praising me?) )

Miss Postman's face glowed with a strange look.

"Then I will be called Susu from now on, and Mary is already in the past tense."

“…………”

He'd better hurry up and get down to business......

"First of all, there is one thing I want to ask Sue...... Susu apologized. ”

Long Jing said as he took out an item wrapped in a handkerchief from his pocket. A pistol, just looking at the shape protruding under this thin piece of cloth, Su Su understood what was inside.

"I'm sorry though. But I think it's better to leave this thing to you. ”

Su Su nodded suspiciously as she opened the handkerchief, revealing what was inside. A nine-millimeter pistol with an intricately ornamented pattern of a woman with a kind smile on the hilt.

"Maria!"

Miss Postman recognized the name of the gun at a glance, and it was it that she had almost been sent to the grave in the first place—in fact, it had already been entered, though it had been dug up shortly thereafter—and because of the hole in her brain, she could not remember almost anything from the past.

"Originally, I wanted to keep him for you, but the scene was so chaotic that it was too late by the time I reacted." Long Jing said slightly apologetically, he really wanted to leave Benny to the postman lady to sell favors. It's just that ED-E moved too fast, and before he could shout to stop, a burst of laser fire burned Benny to charcoal.

"No, it's okay." Su Su clenched his pistol and hung his head.

Is this revenge for yourself? She couldn't help but think of the story of a man who went deep into the enemy to avenge her for the sake of the woman he loved, in a book that could still read the handwriting. Of course, there are also such and such things that happened between the two protagonists on the night after that, which made people blush and heartbeat......

"That's for the best." Miss Postman said in a voice that only she could hear.

"This is the end of the matter." Long Jingke didn't know what the girl on the other side was thinking, and continued, "But when I took over Mr. House's database later, I accidentally found something else. ”

"Something to do with me?"

Hearing Long Jing's voice become a little serious, Su Su raised his head.

"Well, what to say." Long Jing sorted out his words, "I think you already know that you weren't on the list commissioned by Mr. House in the first place. ”

Susu nodded, Nash, the owner of the Prim branch of the Mojave Post Office, had told her that another person was supposed to take over Mr. House's mission, but that person gave up the mission after seeing her name and told Nash to let her deliver.

Miss Postman suddenly remembered that Nash had brought the man and asked if the name was hers. She didn't care about it at the time, but now it seems that there is something hidden?

"Some time ago, after I left Prima, I strayed into the Great Rift Valley to the west." Long Jing continued, "Inside I found some messages that one postman had left for another, Postman Six. I didn't care at first, but then from House's data, the number six postman was supposed to be you. ”

"The Great Rift Valley? Postman Number Six? Su Su was stunned for a moment, hurriedly opened his PP boy, and found an inexplicable message in it that he received not long ago.

A coordinate and a simple message - [Postman 6 - Ulysses]

"After that, I looked into what was going on behind the scenes a little bit." Long Jing said, "The truth I got is not so good. Do you want to listen? ”

"I'm sorry for you." Miss Postman nodded, having lost her memories of being shot in the head.

It was a story about a man named Ulysses.

Like Susu, Ulysses was a postman.

In the wasteland, the postman's job is even more significant than it was before the war, as they are likely to be the only ones willing to pass on the message through the vast no-man's land of the wasteland.

And the transmission of information means the beginning of communication, and the beginning of communication means revival.

As the postman traveled back and forth, the path he traveled gradually came to life, and people began to choose to settle in a place called the Great Dividing Ridge on the way, and were willing to make an effort to make their lives better. They had no idea of the history of the Great Dividing Ridge before the war, and even if they knew that it had been a military base, they wouldn't care.

Ulysses loved the town, and he had seen and experienced too many failures, so now he pinned his hopes for revival on it. He thought he knew the postman, though they had never met, and he thanked the postman for all he had done before the package he delivered ruined the watershed.

However, the postman also made mistakes, and the consequences of his mistake were so serious that he brought to the Great Dividing Quarter without his knowledge a package from the Navarro base, which was the culprit of the destruction of everything - an electronic device that sent an automatic message that was the activation code of a nuclear warhead.

No one knows how many pre-war nuclear warheads are buried in the ground of the Great Divide, and although they have been mostly worn away by time due to their age, only a few warheads are enough to destroy the Great Divide.

The once-thriving town is now an empty wasteland, and Ulysses has survived by being near an automated medical device. His life was completely changed on this day, which showed him how history can be changed by a single man.

"I don't remember anything." Miss Postman said with a wry smile.

"Even if it's really because of the package you sent that destroyed the Great Dividing Range, it's not your fault." Veronica comforted her by gently stroking Miss Postman's shoulder.

"I don't find out where Ulysses went after that and what he did." Long Jing said apologetically, "But now it seems that he intends to understand the previous grievances with you." ”

It wasn't that he didn't know what Ulysses was going to do.

After being rescued, Ulysses continued to roam the wasteland, trying to find answers in history. Finally, in a place called the Great Mountains, he got a history of the powerful country that once existed on this land, the United States, from a group of pre-war scientists who had only their brains left.

He wondered how such a powerful country could be left with nothing after the war. In fact, what he wanted to know more was why the great watershed on which he had pinned countless hopes could only be ruined?

So Ulysses decided to return to the Great Divide, activated the missiles, and sent a message to entice the postman to come. If he just wanted to destroy Mojavey, he could have just launched the missile. But he wanted the postman to make that choice, and he wanted to see what impact the same person could have on history, consciously and unconsciously.

But that's not what Miss Postman needs to know.

"What are you going to do?" Veronica asked.

"Do you still need to ask? Of course I want to go. ”

"Then I'm ......"

"I'll just go alone!" Miss Postman interrupted Veronica and said firmly, "If he wants to make a settlement, then I'll settle it for him." ”

"Looks like you've made your decision." Long Jing stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, "I'm afraid I won't be able to leave here, but I think it should be able to help you." Edna! ”

The elevator doors opened, and Edna flew over with a beeping sound.

“ED-E?”

Miss Postman looked at Edna suspiciously, although it looked like the little robot she had given to Long Jing as a gift, but there were some subtle differences.

"A clone of ED-E, to be exact, I'll call it Adna." Long Jing beckoned Edna over, "I found it in the Great Rift Valley, which used to be a pre-war U.S. missile base, and there were many tight blockade systems in it. Edna has a lot of hacking skills, and I think it will definitely help you. ”

- As for Edna's final help in firing the remaining missiles in the Rip Valley at the NCR and Caesar's Legion, respectively?

That must be the fault of the previous remnants of the program.

Well, that's it.

"By the way, you can use the presidential suite of Lucky 38 as you like." Long Jing smiled at the two ladies, "I have prepared a little gift for you in the closet. ”
