Chapter 35 Fallout Finale: No Brains and Wrong Love
Three days after the nuclear explosion, Edna flew back to New Vegas alone.
This really scared Long Jing, could it be that he really had the talent of a crow's mouth, and Miss Postman was killed by Ulysses? It's not impossible, and the protagonist doesn't mean immortality. According to the records of the Heavenly Court Lords of the past dynasties, this kind of thing was not uncommon, and even more so after outsiders like them intervened.
Edna also brought the news that Miss Postman was just missing, which made Long Jing breathe a sigh of relief.
Miss Postman often goes missing.
After taking a closer look at Edna's records, Long Jing had basically figured out what was going on.
Miss Postman's lonely journey went very smoothly, not only successfully hitting Ulysses in the deepest part of the Great Rift Valley, but also hacking all the missile launch systems that were originally intended to target the entire Mojave Desert, causing them to be deflected - of course, because she was using Edna to hack the system, the missiles were aimed at NCR and Caesar's territory......
The postman's lady was going straight back to New Vegas as planned. But on the night of riding a small electric donkey to a camp west of the Mojave outpost, her beep-boy received an intermittent signal. Beginning to suspect that Mr. New Vegas, the artificial intelligence used to DJ on Radio New Vegas, was sloppy, Miss Postman chose a record of hundreds of swollen-headed moths flapping their wings at the same time, only to find out that it was actually a coded message.
The mournful jazz-like emotions in the background were a headache, and Miss Postman could only roughly surmise that it was an invitation to the Mojave open-air drive-in theater to enjoy a midnight movie full of science fiction.
"Please hurry up and catch the trailer."
The open-air drive-in theater is just a short distance away, so it's okay to check it out. Paying attention, Miss Postman immediately got up and headed for the direction indicated on the Pip-Boy.
At some point, a damaged satellite transmitter appeared in the middle of the empty theater, and at this moment, it was projecting the impact on the screen as it was more of a mad than science fiction--- and there was nothing else around a huge eye, so Miss Postman decided to go up and observe the strange satellite.
Then the blue light flashed, and Miss Postman vanished.
"I'll ......"
Long Jing sighed, this is obviously the plot of the DLC "Old World Blues" in the game, Miss Postman was kidnapped by Frankenstein again.
Speaking of which, she was kidnapped by a Frankenstein to Madre's Casino a short time ago because of a treasure hunt grapevine, and how long has it been since she was kidnapped by Frankenstein again...... And this time it's not one, but a bunch of Frankenstein.
And the reason is still a ticket to a midnight movie...... Miss Postman's curiosity seemed hopeless.
But then again, this is probably the kind of physique that is the protagonist who gets into trouble anytime and anywhere. The plot of "Old World Blues" takes place in the Great Mountains, a pre-war scientific research base in the United States that is hard to find in Longjing. He's been looking for the location of the Great Mountain Range since he took control of New Vegas, but to no avail, and he didn't expect Miss Postman to go in like that.
The so-called intentionally planted flowers do not bloom, and unintentionally planted willows and willows are probably like this.
But maybe it's an opportunity.
Thinking so, Long Jing recruited two of his staff members - the Flying Pig and Mr. Yes.
Although there are now six official subordinates, two of them are technologists who can talk freely in their own professions, but the rest of the things are black-eyed tech nerds, and the other two are robots who can't even speak.
In fact, the Flying Pig and Mr. Yes are not serious staff, one is the magic weapon Yuan Ling, and the other is artificial intelligence.
Looking at it this way, there is really a lack of talent under his command.
But it's better than figuring it out on his own.
"Your Majesty, I have searched all the pre-war information I can find, and it is said that it was all in and out of the place through teleporters, so I have not left any record of the location of the Great Mountain Range. But there are clues to everything. "Yes Mr. Yes showed a map of the United States before the war on the big screen and circled a piece on it.
"As long as that place really exists, there's always something left, and I searched for places near the Mojave that no longer appear after they entered, leaving aside the places that had already been identified—the pre-war Casino of Madelet, Zion National Park, the Great Rift Valley...... There was only one thing left that couldn't be sure exactly what was inside, in the mountains of northwestern Nevada before the war. If the Great Mountain Range is really near the Mojave, then that is the most likely place. ”
"That's too big, isn't it? And how am I going to get there? ”
Long Jing compared it to the map, and the place circled by Mr. Yes almost included the western mountains of Nevada, and it would take a lot of time just to find a hidden base in the mountains.
In particular, there is no one who can help.
The main staff under his command now are the robots controlled by Mr. Yes. Not to mention that the number is limited, even if the number is sufficient, it is useless, such a long distance is beyond the control of Mr. Yes, and most of the ordinary robots in the radiation world are not able to perform too complex tasks.
The only ones we can rely on are ED-E and Edna, two eyeball robots with rudimentary artificial intelligence.
But it only depends on the amount of time they have to search for such a large area of mountainous area...... Long Jing could already vaguely feel that the world was beginning to alienate him, which was a sign that he was about to return to Heaven.
Of the three worlds he experienced, the world of "Demon Forbidden" was the one he wanted to go back to, and the world of "Monster Hunter" was also a good place to relax - the hot springs in Yuyun Village (and the village chief) were also something he missed for a long time.
But he definitely didn't plan to do it again.
Although he was once very interested in the wasteland genre and felt quite romantic to play in the game, the real experience was terrible.
Not to mention anything else, the mutated food that crackles and rises after eating it is enough to make him insensitive to the world. Although he can get rid of radiation, who wants to eat something with radiation when he is fine, and the taste is very weird.
The environment is also very bad in all aspects, and the "Lucky 38" where he is now is the best-preserved pre-war luxury hotel, but it is also full of the smell of abandonment and decay. Bustling New Vegas is also no better than ruins.
So he plans to try not to leave any regrets to get the things of this world done at once.
"The best thing to do is to search from the air." Yes Mr. said. "Maybe you should summon a flying machine over."
"Do we have a working flying machine?" Long Jing looked at the Flying Pig, it was the one who recorded all the data of the Heavenly Court, and it knew these best, "The consumption should be as low as possible." "He's already spent a lot of extra boundary-crossing power in this world. Although I have a hunch that I am afraid that this crossing will be a loss, I will try to save as much as I can.
"Frozen helicopter, consuming 1,200 points of cross-bounds. It is the least expensive of the aircraft that can be used at the moment. The Flying Pig immediately gave an answer, "A total of three thousand six hundred points of cross-border power back and forth, if you don't bring it back, you only need to pay two thousand four hundred points, anyway, there are dozens of this thing." ”
Long Jing calculated in his heart that the Flying Pig itself would cost 6,000 points of cross-border power, and Dr. Usaki and Dr. Emily were ordinary people, although they didn't spend much cross-border power, but the consumption of Mr. Yes and the two eyeball robots didn't know yet. Moreover, the previous transgression creation had already cost almost a thousand points. If he summons another Frozen Helicopter, it will cost him 10,000 points of transgression power even if he doesn't bring it back?
Long Jing's cold sweat suddenly fell.
This cost is a bit high, and the radiation world is a world with low energy level and energy activity......
"What's cheaper?" He looked at the Flying Pig with expectant eyes. "You must have a way, don't you, Dora Pig Dream ......"
"............" The Flying Pig retreated a few meters with disgust, "No. 47 Item List [Chasing Beauty Men Only], there is one thing in it. ”
"Four generations of inventory?"
As soon as he heard the name, Long Jing knew who had built this list.
Summons the profile page and switches to Item 47.
There are quite a few lists built by four generations, but not many things. The list of [Chasing Beauty Men] is really as the flying pig said, and there is a lone item on it.
It's a card.
【Peers】
[Type: Magic Card]
[Effect: Sending people within a radius of 20M, including those who use the spell, to a designated location (records required) or the location of a designated person (people to be seen).] 】
"This is a card from the Island of Greed." Long Jing has seen the comic that has the hope of becoming a new generation of gods in the industry, and he naturally knows the effect, but there are still some doubts. "Are you sure this will work here?"
"Theoretically, no problem." Flying Pig said.
Long Jing was skeptical, but still summoned the [Peer] card. Two hundred points of cross-border power, to be honest, is quite expensive, but it is much cheaper than a frozen helicopter.
"I remember how it was used."
Long Jing thought back to the plot in the comics, "Use [Peer], Mary Sue! ”
Half a minute passed, and nothing happened.
"You cheat me......"
Long Jing looked at the Flying Pig with tears in his eyes, two hundred points of cross-border power......
"What's that......"
The Flying Pig is a little embarrassed, it won't really pit, right?
But obviously four generations have also used it in other worlds, and there are no problems. There are no restrictions, such as having the ability to read or something.
"By the way, Miss Postman didn't say she changed her name, why don't you try ...... again?" It said with some embarrassment.
"Does that count?"
When the flying pig said this, Long Jing remembered that he would call Miss Postman Su Su in the future, and then Miss Postman ...... But it's just a casual remark. Can this name be changed?
"This has to be admitted by the person concerned, so that's it, right?" The Flying Pig is also not sure, if this is not the case, then it means that there are some special requirements for this card. "There's no loss in trying."
"That's because I've already paid for this card." Long Jing muttered and picked up the card again.
"Use [Peer], Susu."
With a thud, the glass window shattered into pieces.
A cloud of light disappeared into the distance with the dragon view. Only a piece of broken glass remains.
***
The distant Great Sierra Basin, which initially only carved a cave system under the mountains of northwestern Nevada, but a failed experiment caused a large crater to be opened in the mountain above, exposing all the facilities, and scientists using the blasted space to build more experimental fields.
Everything here seems so bizarre.
Huge domes, oddly shaped towers, towering antennas and lights that look like lasers shining into the sky.
But compared to all this, what happened to her is even more bizarre.
Because I watched a midnight movie, I was inexplicably kidnapped to this strange place.
And someone had surgery to get the brain out.
Oh, and the heart and spine......
It doesn't look the difference, but if you put your hand on your chest, you can't feel the heartbeat, and your spine is replaced with an artificial one.
She even saw her original heart and spine soaked in biocolloids.
But more important than that is her brain.
Su Su sighed and continued to negotiate with the brain soaked in the transparent bar.
The brain has a visible scar on it, which is the mark left by the 9mm bullet that passed through it.
That's right, that's her brain.
It is said that because of the Tesla coil that connects the nerves to her skull, she is still able to connect with the brain and think like a normal person even if the brain is away from the skull.
But in any case, it can't change the fact that she has no brains now.
Even though it's a brain with such a big brain, it's better than no brain.
But now the theme is that she has found her brain, but she (it) is unwilling to go back to her head.
It's a sad story.
"Don't you want to come back? I thought you'd be happy to return home. ”
"I'll tell you the truth, no way. From my point of view, I'm quiet and peaceful, and I'm safe—well, except for the rogue scorpions—and in your head I'm going to have to worry about toxins, radiation, disability, and your various physical needs. Her mind said, "Do you know how much you can do by going to the toilet a few times?" Many, many, many more! ”
"Isn't there anything you miss about?" Miss Postman tried to seduce her brain. "Like the breeze on your cheeks, the enticing aroma of food, or ...... Love? ”
Speaking of love, Su Su's cheeks flushed slightly.
But her brain is obviously very faceless: "It's just a biological reaction that is elevated...... It's mainly your hormones that are at work! ”
(Oh, enough of that!) )
Why is her brain so ...... Darn?
But it's still her brain, who can teach her what to do?
"Mr. Grabbing Genbao......"
"It's useless to call your concubine, he's staying far away in a luxurious suite in New Vegas, maybe he's already sleeping with Veronica."
"It's not a concubine!!" Miss Postman almost went crazy.
Just as she was about to give her brain a look, there was a sudden sound of cracking from the ceiling.
"Wow, ah~~~"
A flash of light, accompanied by a shout of a familiar voice, broke through the thick dome and rushed straight at her.
"Ahhh
Almost before he could react, Su Su was directly hit by the light and rolled into a ball.
"Who!" Miss Postman crawled to her feet, clutching the back of her head, and looked at what had hit her—what appeared to be a person.
"Yes...... It's you!? ”
"Yo!" Long Jing covered his waist that was a little flashy, and greeted her with a forced smile. "Looks like I'm not too late."
Miss Postman's face turned red.
He actually came to save her!
Is this the legend - love!?
