The real America is big, and there is no fast travel.

When the silhouette of the huge roller coaster appeared in the field of vision, Long Jing simply burst into tears.

He's had enough of Mojave!

Wind and sand, scorching sun, everywhere bandits, road rage ...... There are also radscorpions crawling all over the ground and big lizards that come out from time to time to make trouble.

Although there are no radiation zones, the feeling of hiking in the desert alone is bad enough.

But now we have finally arrived at our destination...... A landmark in front of the site.

It's still a long way from New Vegas, but at least it proves that he's not on the wrong track.

The town of Prim was supposed to be a good place to visit before the war, and some have thought it was based on the famous theme park Buffalo Bill Casino. Although it was not hit by a nuclear bomb, 200 years have left this pre-war tourist destination in a dilapidated state, and only a small rusty section of the huge signboard mountain crossing remains.

It's not a resort for people to explore, it's just a small settlement in the wasteland.

As soon as he approached Prim, Long Jing saw the two-headed bear flag fluttering on the edge of the town, and several soldiers dressed as if they were American soldiers from World War II were patrolling.

This is the flag of the NCR (New California Republican).

Although not as famous as the Brotherhood of Steel, it is also a huge force that runs through many of the works in the Fallout series. Like the two-headed bear on their banner, the NCR is full of expansion. At the beginning of the story of Fallout: New Vegas, the NCR has already extended its tentacles to New Vegas City (pre-war Las Vegas).

I just don't know if Prim Town is already in the hands of NCR now.

As Long Jing observed the NCR soldiers, he was also spotted by the other party, and one of the soldiers broke away from the group and trotted over to him.

"Hi boy. Do you know what the hell is up ahead? Prim is now off-limits! ”

"I don't know where it is, I just want to find a place to wash my head." Long Jing pushed his hair back from the wind and sand, and the flying pig was also lying on his home list, and his pink body had become gray.

"What's going on inside? If it's not a big problem, maybe I can help you out. ”

"A group of escaped criminals took control of the town, and the people inside were either dead or hiding." The soldier looked at the Pumpkin King with the mallet on Long Jing's back, "If you just want to take a break, I suggest you continue to walk north to Qingquan Town to be safer." If you feel like you can help, talk to Lieutenant Hayes, we're short on manpower. He's in a tent over there. ”

It is clear that the Soldier considers Long Jing to be a mercenary or a bounty hunter, which is common in the wastelands and is often hired by the NCR.

Although it was only a brief conversation, Long Jing basically knew what was going on - Prim had been overrun by the Dynamite Gang. This is the advantage of understanding the "plot", and it only takes a little clue to deduce a lot of information.

However, this is not good news, not only does it mean that if he wants to go into the city to rest, he will have to fight a group of bandits first, and the road north may not be able to walk.

The Dynamite Gang is a gang of miners and escaped prisoners. The escapees were mainly from the nearby NCR penitentiary, while the miners were from quarries a little further north. One of the reasons these bastard miners don't step on the rocks and start doing evil is that the quarry is overrun by a group of deathclaws that not only nest in the quarry, but also breed everywhere, blocking the way north.

In other words, if Long Jing wants to go to New Vegas, he will either fight his way out of the deathclaw group, or turn around and go around the other way.

That's for the future, his plan now is to clean up the bandits entrenched in Prim Town, and then take a good shower and sleep, and think about the rest later.

Following the direction pointed by the soldiers, Long Jing quickly found Lieutenant Hayes, the top leader of the NCR here, in a tent.

This is a young soldier who is less than thirty years old, and he is not surprised by Long Jing's arrival.

"Ever since we were deployed here to stop criminals who escaped from the penitentiary, we haven't dealt with people like you." "But as you can see—while some people think we should protect it, we are short of men and very little armed. I'm afraid I can't pay you anything. ”

"It's not important." Long Jing didn't care about this, he decided to clean up the bandits in the town not because of the reward, but since there was a task to do here, there was nothing wrong with fishing for a few bottle caps along the way.

"I want to know how Prim is doing, and I'll help you with it if it's appropriate."

"Well, if you insist." "Not long ago, these guys planned a riot at the NCR penitentiary, killed the guards who couldn't escape, and then started plundering the area. He likes to call himself the Dynamite Gang, because they use the explosives they use to blow rocks as weapons. There were a lot of them, but luckily, the one attacking Prim seemed to have lost contact with the main force. So they don't get any kind of resources. ”

"My soldier told me that someone had broken in without being told before, and that maybe you could try to find him to join forces. If you guys can take them out, I don't mind paying some caps for it. ”

"Leave it to me."

Long Jing patted the hammer on his back.

Although the NCR company stationed in Prim has nothing to do with the explosives gang in Prim, Long Jing will not take these rabbles seriously.

He repaired the goods along the way.

***

Crossing the half-collapsed highway bridge, Long Jing entered the urban area of Prim Town with the [Pumpking] upside down, and cautiously moved forward.

The glyph [Passive Trigger] is etched on Long Jing's body, which automatically activates the [Holy Shield] when receiving an attack that can deal non-lethal damage, and automatically uses the [Holy Shield Technique] when encountering an attack that can deal lethal damage. Originally, the glyph was developed by three generations to adjust the two spells of [Ice Protector] and [Ice Barrier] into passive skills, and now it is applied to the skills of the paladin by Long Jing.

Compared to the Dragon Scene itself, the [Passive Trigger] Glyph is much stronger in terms of reaction speed and judgment ability, and it can even react in time under a sound speed attack of more than ten times in the experiment.

With this layer of defense, Long Jing would hardly have to worry about being attacked by the enemy.

But that doesn't mean he's careless.

Even if he stood still, he couldn't do any damage with the weapons of these bandits, but it wasn't enough to consume too much of the power of the Holy Light for an enemy of this level.

The energy activity of the world of "Fallout" is very low, which is something that Long Jing can feel when he enters this world.

When you are in the Forbidden World, even if you use up all the power of the Holy Light, you only need to sleep for one night to recover almost completely. And here, Long Jing couldn't even feel the signs of the Holy Light automatically replying.

This is characteristic of a world with low energy activity, and supernatural energy is difficult to replenish naturally. It can only be slowly transformed through food and the like.

Although I considered the situation of the class before entering and brought something to quickly replenish energy, it is still good to save money in the case of dealing with small minions.

After all, as a paladin who was upgraded by a strengthening card, he was actually not much stronger than ordinary people without the power of holy light.

Fortunately, in the case of street fighting in a small town, the distance to touch the enemy is very short, and he only needs to rush directly to the enemy's side and solve the problem with a hammer......

Thinking so, Long Jing quickened his pace.

Surprisingly, however, he didn't encounter a single enemy until he entered the central part of the town.

Corpses can be seen everywhere in the messy streets, many of them wearing NCR prison uniforms, which they used as uniforms after the NCR Correctional Facility was overrun by the Dynamite Gang.

Long Jing crouched down in front of a dynamite gang gangster to check.

The blood had not yet clotted, apparently not long after death.

Long Jing remembered that Lieutenant Hayes had mentioned that there was a person before him who broke in without listening to dissuasion. Originally, he didn't care, this kind of disobedient guy in the world has gone to the sea. But now it seems......

"It can't be that coincidental, right?"

In the storyline of "New Vegas", the NCR has not been able to support Prime's company due to supply problems, and Prim has been occupied by the Dynamite Gang for so long, until one day, a postman passes by-

I walked down the road to the center of Midtown in Prim, and I didn't encounter a single living person, and it looked like it had been cleaned up. If you want to clean up some of it, it may be a passing bounty hunter or something, but which one is it that has done it so thoroughly.

Long Jing looked at the two pre-war buildings in the center of town that were still relatively well preserved, the Bison Stevie Inn and the Wiki and Vance Casino.

After a moment's hesitation, Longjing opened the door to Wiki and Vance Casino.

And then he regretted it.
