Chapter 69: Strange Machines

The sun of a new day once again illuminates the land, and the ruins of the abandoned fortress still stand silently, recording what terrible disasters the past has caused.

Today, though, is a little different.

A large group of people were tearing down the ruined buildings, some using toothed saws to cut large pieces of them into moderate sizes, others using welding torches to weld too small pieces of scrap metal to everything.

A few yellow-painted robots are working, moving and assembling the huge pieces of construction into the distance, and some of them are mixed with human workers, but they are using power gloves to amplify their own power, and with the help of old-world technology, this vigorous reconstruction operation seems to be as simple as moving building blocks.

Andy was also in the group, and now he wears a hard hat and protective gloves.

These people and equipment came from all over the world, and the traveling merchants gathered in Crosstown were the best sources of information and resources, and a small team of former NCR engineering teams, with adequate funding and a positive response from the townspeople, made everything seem to fall into place..... Of course, in fact, the most important thing is money.

In a few days, a circle of concrete shards was now taking shape on the edge of Crosstown, and although it was not very pretty, it was like a large pile of cement slabs inserted vertically into the ground to form a circle, and then some metal was used to reinforce it, but at least it was a circle of defense.

Shelves have also been erected at several important entrances and exits for personnel to climb and stand in preparation for the deployment of security personnel in the future.

After announcing the end of the wall, Andy and the others gathered again at Dave's clinic.

"It's time for the second step now..... Bob, have you found someone over there who can fix the train? ”

"Almost, he'll probably hear from me in two days."

β€œ.... Well, in that case, we have one more thing to do in the next two days. ”

Dave looked at the crooked hand-drawn map of the town on the table, and his mind couldn't stop thinking.

"Andy, would you like to be a diplomatic representative?"

Andy, who was sitting on the side drinking water, almost choked on his throat.

"What? What's that? Helping to move bricks or beating people is a piece of cake for me, and my charm is not high. ”

"Take it easy, we need a more violent diplomatic representation right now."

Dave stroked his beard and laughed.

"One of my buddies told me a little bit that some of the rooster gang's escaped remnants who were unwilling to stay away seemed to have a big opinion about us executing Skana the Eagle, and they had united a group of stragglers who were already wandering outside to do something big. However, we don't have much self-protection right now, and if this event eventually erupts, it could lead to some bad outcomes. ”

"This sounds a bit dangerous, how do you need me to fix this?"

"Gathering up in a heap can be a bit of a threat, and we need a hero to eliminate a few leaders while they're rally, so they'll be defeated."

Andy raised his eyebrows, isn't this a trivial matter?

"And what good do you give me?"

"Your benefits have been promised in the future dividends, but your efforts are seen by everyone, which will enhance your prestige in everyone's hearts.... I'll ask a couple of old guys to give you some exclusive discounts. ”

"Okay, then I'll take a trip."

The beep-beep boy came with a hint.

[Secondary Task: Conflict of Interest 2]

[Optional: Kill the Gang Boss 3/5]

Dave gave him an approving look and began to tell Andy where the gangs were going to meet.

"By the way, how the hell do you know about this Dave? Didn't see any intelligence agents in Crosstown. ”

"I'm an intelligence officer myself..... There is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention that the group of people is simply fighting on their own.... Come on Andy, buy us some time, and when we recruit enough security guards we won't need this little trick. ”

Andy was about to go out when the bald weapons dealer Justin suddenly stopped him.

"Hey, wait a minute, man, you're going to go like this? Let me give you a little help. ”

Two red dynamites were delivered to Andy.

"Oh, thanks Justin."

Andy took the explosives and walked out.

.......

The Atomic Humvee roared, and Andy raised his arm as he drove the car to find the location of the target on the Pip-Boy's map, but when he opened the map, he found that it had been marked.

β€œ..... I haven't found the location before you marked it, you're really smart enough, by the way, will you mark it wrong? Do you always hear the conversation around you? ”

Andy shook the beep boy on his arm, but the other man didn't respond.

"Play dead.... If you're in the wrong place, I'll use you to knock people in for a while. ”

Andy drives the car with one hand and speaks loudly to the Pip-Boy.

This time there was a little reaction.

[The accuracy of map positioning is more than 90%, and this value will be reduced accordingly in complex terrain environments]

Andy didn't let it go, and continued to throw out all kinds of questions.

"Can you use it as a weapon, I think you're pretty strong."

[Warning, the wrong way to use it is likely to lead to serious consequences]

"What serious consequences? Could it be that you can still explode? Like those pre-war nuclear vehicles, boom? ”

[This would not have happened if it had not been used incorrectly]

"Can I activate your self-destruct then?"

[This feature does not exist]

......

"You haven't answered, have you been spying on me all along? Answer quickly, you machine! ”

[The personal information processor will collect and analyze your private information and surrounding environment information for analysis and processing, which will not cause any harm to you]

"Did you peek at my big XX?"

【......】

After the thirty consecutive questions, the Pip-Boy finally fell silent, and then Andy saw a middle finger pattern playing on the screen.

"Hey! It's against you! ”

Andy wanted to continue, but the destination seemed to be in sight.

He parked the car and quietly got out of the car and approached the area.

It seems to be a pre-war garage or something, and there are a lot of scrapped cars that still sit there, but most of them have been dismantled by waves of waste pickers over time, and all that remains here is a pile of scrap metal.

There was no one here yet, and Andy leaned against the back of a sand dune to take out something to eat.

Out of boredom, he started talking to Pip-Boy again, which he found to seem like a lot of fun.

"If I just use you to eat or dress, what does that work for?"

[According to the Quantum Matter Energy Conversion Technology, the food stored inside the machine will be processed and sent directly to your stomach]

"Who made this technology? Sounds too powerful. ”

【Technical Support:SA Think Tank R&D Center Dashan】

"Is it reliable? I hadn't heard of what it was. ”

【You'd better pray】

"Damn!"
