Chapter 19: Targets Appear in the Unexpected
When Andy returned to Galen's cabin, he was surprised to find that Galen had already made semi-finished brewing vats and fermenters, which was surprisingly ingenious, though it was based on his love of drinking.
"Hey, you're here Andy, can you see how I'm doing?"
The white-bearded old man dragged Andy into the house.
Looking at the two original brewing devices full of holes, Andy had to point out the various problems that Galen did not take into account.
"It looks like there is still some need for improvement... But I really can't wait to have a good drink. ”
Galen's craving for wine was almost undisguised, and he pondered for a moment, then grabbed Andy and began to express his heart.
"Andy... I know you're from outside, and those people in the village either haven't gone outside, or they only know how to go outside to rob, you.... You must know where to buy a lot of wine, if you can bring me it."
Galen looked left and right, finding a large locked box to open.
"Look at this.."
Andy looked over and saw what appeared to be Galen's inventory, full of fine machetes, spears, bows and arrows, and most notably a few shoddy firearms.
He opened another box, which contained a large mess of bullets.
"These are all things I made and brought back by the hunting team, all of them are here, and you can't buy them from anyone else... If you can bring me some wine, I'll give you a discount. ”
Andy walked over and looked at the things, it would be a good deal to get some ammunition from the old man cheaply, and the machetes and spears might be able to sell for a good price... But how strange it was when he looked at those strange guns.
"Did you make all these guns yourself?"
Andy picked up a pistol, and it is no exaggeration to say that Andy thinks it is a wooden pistol, and its main structure is basically made of wood, with some small metal parts. Including the barrel and butt are all made of such materials, at first Andy thought that Galen was old and confused and mixed the toy gun that the child played with in the inventory, but after careful inspection, he found that it was indeed a gun.
"Of course! I did all of this. ”
Galen held up a "rifle" with some sort of recycled metal waste on the barrel, with some rust and strange oil paint on it, which Andy thought was cut from some part of a scrapped car.
"Although these weapons are a little less powerful, the feedback from the hunting team is still good.... Forehead... I know these guys are a little worse than the guns you use out there, but that's the limit of what I'll do. ”
Andy held up the wooden pistol in his hand and asked Galen in disbelief.
"If I'm not mistaken, your pistol is made entirely of wood... Will this thing work? ”
With a pistol in his chest, Galen proudly took his pistol and fired into the open space outside the courtyard.
With Andy's stunned expression, Galen introduces Andy to this masterpiece of his invention.
"Haha, this weapon is called the zipper gun, I learned it from another outsider.... YOU DON'T LOOK AT IT AS IT'S MADE OF WOOD, BUT YOU CAN STILL USE IT, USE 9MM BULLETS... Of course, this reload speed and the durability of the weapon are a little bit worse, but of course it's a gun! ”
Andy thought to himself, not only is it as simple as reloading and easy to turn into a pile of rags, this wooden pistol still has many problems, its spread is simply faith shooting, and the range is very urgent... If you are not careful, you may not be able to hit the enemy, but you will be injured. He took a closer look at the sharpshooter that Galen called the zipper gun, a strange weapon that showed that Galen had understood the basic principles of firearms, but there were still many things he didn't understand, which led to the creation of this strange thing.
"It's... I think..."
Andy was eager to talk to Galen about how the gun was made, but Galen was a black-footed craftsman, so it was better to be cautious.
After a casual conversation with the old man Galen, Andy returned to the village, and who knows how long it would take him to make a usable brewing device and a real gun, but that was not directly related to him.
He walked aimlessly through the streets of Blackfoot Village, surrounded by busy and full Blackfoot villagers, but he was so hesitant. It's been so long since I've been here with this tribe of natives, and there's still not much progress, where is the fugitive who was supposed to be here?
At this moment, the beep-beep boy suddenly popped up a prompt.
[Hint: Prisoner No. 13045 has been discovered]
[Target has been marked]
[Do what you can to bring him back to Tibbetts Prison, regardless of life or death]
Before Andy could react, the V mode suddenly turned on automatically, and all the people around him fell into a stillness, and in the chaos of the natives, a tall thin young man wearing a hood was marked by the beep boy with a striking green mark, there is no doubt that the person is the prisoner that Andy has been looking for for a long time.
V-mode is over, and Andy throws off his arms and runs wildly, but the man disappears after a few moments under the protection of several black-footed guards. Turning his head, Craig seemed to be meeting the young man who was a fugitive from Tibbetts, but Andy's attention was all focused on the young man by the Pip-Boy, so he didn't notice.
Due to Andy's special behavior, he was once again targeted by those vigilant black-footed guards, and in the blink of an eye, three or four pitch-black machetes were pulled out of their scabbards and pointed straight at him.
Craig stepped forward to disperse the vigilant guards.
"It's Andy, we're meeting again.... What are you doing, if you want to say anything to me, just communicate with my guards in advance, there's no need to be so anxious every time. ”
Craig's strong and generous body completely blocked the route that Andy was tracking, and Andy had no choice but to give up temporarily.
"Craig, who was that young man just now?"
The blackfoot guards on the side were a little annoyed, and they surrounded Andy again, and they had a violent attitude that did not agree with each other.
"You outsider, don't think that you can get acquainted with some people in the village a little bit, it's not big or small, our Craig leader has no obligation to answer any of your questions!"
This time Craig didn't stop the guards, because when Andy mentioned the young man, his face was also a little difficult to look at, it seemed that this person was very important, and Craig was not going to discuss things about him with other people casually.
In desperation, Andy looked at Craig and shouted out the thing he had been hesitating about.
"Craig! Tell me about that young man, I'm willing to help you get a gun! ”
As soon as these words came out, Craig's expression changed.
The guards gradually dispersed under Craig's command, and he looked at Andy with a somewhat complicated expression on his face.
"Let's find a quiet place to talk, Andy."
