Frankly, Andy was new to this concept.

"Those natives make a living by capturing slaves? Don't they think it's wrong? ”

Dave sighed.

"In fact, although most people are extremely disgusted with slave traders, they have formed an economic closed loop, and we merchants have cheap sources of goods that you think are produced, and I can tell you that there are many places that rely on the implementation of slavery to meet the low-cost production of goods. The guys were in their own right, and their power even reached as far west as Livolia, where slaves were captured and shipped to be sold..... The natives don't have the same view of right and wrong as we do, they don't agree with our view of slavery, so there's no point in telling them all the big things. ”

Dave walked over and took out a map from his arms and pointed out the location to Andy.

"Look here."

Andy looked over and saw a black circle mark on the rude hand-drawn map of the west-north, which seemed to have a warning meaning.

"Crosstown is like a dividing point, and the terrain from here to the north and east, although not a no-man's land, is starting to get complicated, and the people who live there are very vulgar and weird. They live a way of life that they have practiced, and everything from the way they dress and the way they speak is very different from ours..... These guys are the so-called natives, and among them are worthy of our communication, and there are also pure savage monsters. Unfortunately, there is such a small tribe to the north-west of Crosstown, and their main business is to plunder and trade slaves. ”

The map wasn't very large, and it was clear that the person who drew it didn't really know what was going on further afield, but even so, the small map marked the area where the three native tribes were located, and Andy could expect that there would be more of them further afield.

Andy touched his chin and felt like he was going to embark on a hard journey.... He had previously checked the map coordinates on Pip-Boy indicating the approximate location of the fugitives, and from the information provided by Dave, most of the places he was going to were purely "savage places".

"Uh.... It sounds like they're not very easy to deal with, so what do you want me to do with Dave? ”

Dave crossed his hands and rolled his fingers.

"That's Andy, in the past, the NCR GIs would be responsible for maintaining the railroad and dredging the trade routes, although they didn't do a good job at the time, but the town of Cross still had contact with some settlements through the railway, and now no one is in charge of this, and the situation may become very bad after such a long time.... If you want to restore the prosperity of trade, you need someone to go back to those places to see if you can rebuild trade relations and repair some of the damaged railways. ”

[Secondary Mission: Railroad Trade]

[Go to the railway line to communicate and try to rebuild the trade line]

[This will greatly increase your share of dividends, and it can also be carried out at the same time as the main story, why not take it?] 】

Andy looked at the beep-beep boy with humble eyes, this guy is getting more and more outrageous now, and he is already very willing to give himself advice.

Looking up at Dave, who was expectant, Andy nodded.

"Okay, I'll take a look, but you can't just count on me to do it, can you?"

"Of course, of course, we need a lot of people to work together, and you are an integral part of that.... I've sent some people to nearby settlements to make contact, but.... But the Blackfoot tribe is far away, and most of its members are vicious, and no one wants to go there for trade communication, Andy, you have a car and you can fight..."

With a wave of his hand, Andy signaled that he was clear.

He packed up some of the things he had purchased before and threw them into the Atomic Humvee, ready to drive away, this time he couldn't run away anyway, the left was also urging, and the right was also urging.....

Just as he was about to drive away, Dave suddenly ran over.

"Hey! Andy, everybody thank you for doing us a favor and giving you this gun. ”

Andy opened the window and took it, and it was a pump-action shotgun, the whole gun was black.

[New Item: Remington M870P]

[Description: Police model, 12 gauge caliber, tubular magazine, 7+1 rounds, full gun length 1060mm, barrel length 533mm, full gun mass 3.60kg, notched sight, sheet crosshair, with 12 gauge × 2 3/4in shotgun. 】

"Oh, it looks pretty good, thanks."

After a few simple pushes and pulls of the handguard, Andy feels that this thing feels good, and it may be easier to use at close range, and Dave also comes with two boxes of bullets, both of which are red-shelled 12-gauge shotguns.

The Atomic Hummer roared away from Dave's house, and in the distance, the mercenary guarding the gate saw the famous car and its owner, who had been rumored to be legendary by the residents of Crosstown, approaching quickly and immediately opened the iron gate of the town's wall.

As he passed by the door, the old mercenary who was guarding the door greeted Andy and asked, "Hey! That kid, I've heard that you drove this car and killed hundreds of bandits, is it really fake? ”

"Say less."

Andy shouted casually, and with a kick of the accelerator, the Atomic Humvee let out a roar and quickly left Crosstown, where he had lived for more than a month.

After looking at the Pip-Boy's map for a while to confirm the direction, Andy drove the car all the way to the northwest at a fast pace.

[Hint, Prisoner 13045 is likely to be at your destination, pay attention to search and try to capture]

Andy glanced at it, this trip was a lot of money, and he hoped that he could successfully complete these two things when he got there.

"The natives... What would the natives look like? Primitives? Speak the language of babbling? With a broadsword and a spear? ....”

Andy thought that this would not seem to be a very strange thing, if they had escaped into those poor countryside soon after the war, it was inevitable that their education would have been disconnected and returned to the primitive, and perhaps they would have rebuilt their own original civilization in the long years, and they would not have had access to any relics or any information from the old world.

The road ahead was slow, and when Andy was already sleepy in the evening, he suddenly noticed a change.

The sand began to disappear, and in its place the rocks began to increase, and from time to time some yellow-brown hills and mountains began to appear not far away, and the number of green plants and other small creatures that flashed by began to increase. As night fell, a sign of exuberance began to emerge, a radical departure from the heat he had experienced further south.

Andy had to reduce the speed of the car, the road conditions are not as comfortable as before, if you drive too fast and accidentally hit a big rock, it is likely to be a car crash.

He turned on the headlights, only to find a group of beasts passing not far away, watching Andy let out a menacing growl from time to time.

Dirty hair and festering skin are dotted with menacing eyes and large mouths.

Andy raised an eyebrow, but he didn't mean to hit the brakes in the slightest.

"Looks like you're in company."
