Chapter Seventy-One: It's Time

Andy was entertained with delicious food and drink for half a month, during which the town of Cross was constantly on the right track with the efforts of everyone.

Bob found a mechanic and some workers, and invested in some materials and equipment to repair the NCR-blown and train, which might return to the thriving trade it had once was. A year after the desperate struggle between the NCR and Caesar's Legion and the withdrawal of both sides, perhaps the two long-abandoned routes will finally have a chance to come back to life.

Justin actively contacted the supply and seemed to have obtained a batch of cheap weapons, which would be supplied to the old mercenaries who came to apply, saying that they were old, but in fact they were only running five or six.... The work of a mercenary in the wasteland can be described as thrilling, after all, every day of work is a matter of life.

So these people who can survive to this age are all experienced in battles, but they are also worried about their old age, once people are over fifty years old, their physical functions begin to decline, and they may be able to do simple security work, but the mercenary business that has been doing in the past will definitely not be able to do it, so it is still very attractive to recruit security personnel in a newly built small town like Crosstown.

Andy has seen a lot of vicissitude-looking uncles in the town lately, and most of them should eventually choose to stay here.

The elevated highway near the entrance wall of the town was already guarded by two armed men belonging to the town's security team, although the two uncles sat on it with nonchalant faces and smoked and drank, but their eyes were as sharp as eagles and falcons, so that people did not dare to underestimate them.

Dave is communicating with the traveling merchants about one thing, and he hopes that the traveling merchants will consider reaching a new agreement with Crosstown, that is, the town office will provide 30% financial and human support to help the traveling merchants who are willing to settle here to set up their own fixed shops here, and if they don't want to, they can also spread the news to other peers, and they can get rebates if they don't want to.

The news of the defeat and expulsion of the raiders caused a small stir in the surroundings, and the wandering merchants seemed to like this very much, after all, for them, a stable environment was the first condition for smooth trade, and Crosstown, where there was no need to worry about armed conflict and excessive taxes, was a good place, so the number of people who came here to do business or communicate with Dave to prepare to set up shop homes here was also increasing.

Oh yes, Andy also learned a little thing from Dave. In the small hotel where he once stayed, a mercenary and a prostitute in it shot the boss and the proprietress and wanted to set fire to the inn and run away to destroy the evidence to avoid being included in the bounty list, but he was very unlucky to run out and ran into the bearded man who wanted to go back to take revenge, and then a shootout broke out..... The end result was that half of the people in the hotel were dead, including the ones mentioned here, and the entire hotel was reduced to ashes.

However, these things have nothing to do with Andy, and he is not interested in letting him participate, but seeing that the surroundings are becoming more and more vibrant, the invisible beauty is still moving.

The reason why Andy is still sleeping in the house that Dave lent him is because of Dave's admonition.

"Andy, I'll give you a suggestion, if it's not necessary, it's better not to be stuck in a pile of people all day, the new plague virus in your body hasn't figured out how contagious it really is....."

Balabala is really annoying to listen to, and this matter is not easy to publicize, otherwise Andy is afraid that the whole town will turn their faces and deny him the next day, and drive him out directly.

Today, the beep-beep boy on Andy's wrist, who was wiping his gun there, suddenly vibrate.

[Odysseus is urging you to go north as soon as possible and start executing the agreement]

Andy pursed his lips, although it is not good to wander around here, but it is good to eat and drink, and the purchase of things is unimaginably cheap, and now he is not very happy to ask him to run to the wilderness again.

"There's no time limit, what's the hurry, I'll go."

casually perfunctory beep boy, he continued to carefully wipe his favorite python with a piece of cloth.... Of course, the rhinoceros can't be pulled down, and many times the accuracy of the python is really low, and it is still up to the rhinoceros to make up the gun.

[Odysseus believes that there is a recent mission objective not far north of you, and you have been here for two months for no reason, during which time the number of search robots controlled by Odysseus has increased by about 20%, and your procrastination is increasing the difficulty of your future tests]

Andy felt a headache, and to be honest, he had some intention of retiring in this town, even though he wasn't old at all.

"Why do you talk so much now, you didn't talk much before."

[This machine has the ability to learn automatically, and this machine has learned a lot from the preset information of Tibbetts Prison and the information obtained from you, and this machine believes that the implementation of your agreement with Odysseus as soon as possible is of full value and significance to both you and the world.] 】

“......”

Andy stared at the beep-boy closely, and he always felt that there was something bad in this thing right now.

At that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Andy, there's something I want to trouble you."

Dave walked in, his brow furrowed, and it seemed as if something was stumping him.

"What's the matter? Wouldn't it be for me to be the so-called foreign minister again? ”

Andy turned his gaze to Dave, who was glad he finally had something to do.

"That's right, I don't know if you're familiar with the geography of Crosstown, but I guess you're not very familiar..... You're supposed to be from NCR, right? ”

Andy was stunned, not knowing how to answer Dave's question, because his memory has not been fully understood until now, and he can only say that he was sure that he had been active in NCR for a period of time as a special profession, and then probably came to the eastern part of NCR with the eastward tide of NCR, until he was arrested and imprisoned as a prisoner by the military police not long ago.

"Probably..... Anyway, I'm really not very familiar with this area, what do you want to say? ”

Dave pointed north.

"Not far north of Crosstown, there is a tribe founded by the natives, called the Blackfoot Tribe.... Have you heard of it? ”

Andy's first reaction when he heard the name was just that it was funny.

"What is the blackfoot tribe, the feet of the natives of that tribe are as black as car tires? Ha ha! ”

Dave didn't laugh, he was still very serious.

"Don't despise them because of their name, they have a large population and a strong people..... It can be said that it is not afraid of death, and few caravans that come to Cross Town dare to continue north, do you know why? It is because of the black-footed that they are entrenched in the north, and if they are bold enough to continue walking towards the north, they may be met in a short time, and it will be light to be robbed at that time...."

Dave had a terrible look on his face.

"They're going to keep slaves, you know? The so-called fat pig trade and mule trade are all done by the people in the market.... If you don't, you'll be taken as a slave, and then you'll really be locked up in a shed with no human rights, or worse, sold to some sweatshop to work, or sent to perverts. ”
