Chapter 45: A Peculiar Little Village
After flipping through the extremely rare military booklet for a while, Andy pondered, this may have something to do with the early survivors.... Of course, it is not excluded that it is something left behind by some boring soldiers before the war.
There are still some maps to look at on the few remaining pages, but it's hard to say whether this thing is of much value at all, some of the places marked on it that might have been good should have been reduced to dust by now, and conversely, some of the places marked as safe are now Jedi.
So Andy flipped through the broken book that was about to fall apart, and was about to throw it away, but when he turned to the last page, he suddenly found a line of text written on it with a marker.
"NH-4-07, there's a record of everything I've left behind."
Andy looked at this text suspiciously, not quite understanding what it meant.
[Hint: The location of unknown coordinates has been obtained, and the regional location has been indicated]
Pip-Boy shook and drew a circle on the map.
"This ....."
Andy saw it, just northwest of him, where Pip-Boy had marked it on the map.
"What do you mean.... Could it be that there is some pre-war treasure there? ..... That's it, I don't have time for the time being, I'll talk about it when I get back. ”
With the book in the Pip-Boy, Andy continued on his way to the village of the Dog, and as he traveled east, he soon found the mountain pass.
Exiting this hidden exit, the terrain begins to slow down, and the vegetation begins to transition from sparse to dense, but the mountains on both sides are getting steeper, not as sloping as the previous Blackfoot Village, where the village of Blackfoot was located, and there are large areas that can be used for sports or camping.
After walking for about an hour, there was some sound of water ahead.
Andy walked over to a boulder and looked into the distance, and was soon surprised to see that it was a spring flowing from a cave.
"Magical.... There is such a good thing in such a remote place...."
Andy felt excited, since the spring had appeared, then the Dog Village was definitely not far away.
But he looked down and was dumbfounded.
Just as he was looking into the distance, three or four huge war dogs had appeared near the boulder and surrounded him, and those huge war dogs with brown fur had several circles compared to ordinary wild dogs, their eyes were fierce and vigilant, full of ferocity and spirituality.
Andy saw that two of the dogs were wearing collars, presumably the so-called companion dogs that Colhoti had said, which was a bit troublesome, and it seemed undesirable to shoot directly.
Two figures emerged from the bushes not far away.
Andy looked over and saw that the two guys were dressed in clothes and leather armor based on various animal skins, with large knives and spears in their hands, and strange ornaments hanging from their heads, which looked like small ropes made of hair similar to those on the dogs.
The two looked at each other for a moment with Andy, who was standing on a big rock and riding a tiger.
"Who are you?"
A man discreetly removed the bow from his back, bent his bow and aimed an arrow at Andy, and spat out interrogative words.
Andy raised his hand and tried to show that he was very kind.
"I am.... Those who come from Blackfoot are friends of Blackfoot and your friends, and I know Huhu in your village..... I'm here to make a deal with you, and the Blackfoot men have sent me. ”
The two looked at each other for a moment, and finally lowered their weapons.
One man put his finger in his mouth and whistled a strange whistle, and as soon as the dogs around heard the sound, they immediately dispersed, except for the two dogs with collars back to their owners.
The taller native muttered a few words to the shorter one, and then walked not far away, only to disappear in a moment.
The short native looked at Andy and shouted, "My brother is going to call you over to make sure, don't walk around, and we'll take you to our village when we confirm your identity." ”
Andy didn't have anything else to say, so he nodded.
After a while, Andy saw the familiar guy.
It's still the same, wearing fur armor similar to the other two, and the decoration on the head is similar.... He was also followed by a dog wearing a collar, and when he saw Andy, he had a familiar exaggerated smile on his face.
The natives exchanged words with each other for a while, and soon determined Andy's identity, and he was immediately greeted simply but warmly, and then began to follow the three natives back to their village.
Andy knew that the village of the dogs was small, otherwise it would not be possible to be a subsidiary of Blackfoot, but he didn't expect that the village would actually be so small.
According to Huhu's confirmation, there is the village of the dog in front of him.
This is a small village built on a cliff wall, many buildings are made of rock, or caves carved out of the rock wall for living, and there are also superimposed both.... These buildings are all clustered together and look like they are connected, but.... It's not huge.
Andy looked at the villagers who were moving and the few doors and windows of the buildings, and estimated that the population of this village was no more than thirty people, which was a world of difference compared to the black feet of nearly three hundred.
Although these buildings are a bit peculiar, this is not the most peculiar feature, the biggest feature is that there are some animal skins hanging all over the village of the Dog, and the types of these animal skins seem to be the same, and when the wind blows, they fly up and down like leather flags.
If Andy is not mistaken, those skins.... It seems to be the same dog skin as the dogs in those villages.
In front of the village, there is a clean clearing, where some villagers of the Dog Dog Village are training dogs, and they are constantly giving instructions with their own war dogs, following the dogs through obstacles or asking the dogs to retrieve things for themselves, do specific actions, etc., most of them seem to be enjoying themselves.
A large number of dogs are scattered around the outskirts of the village, which seems to be a **fence of the village.
When they saw Andy, they all stood up and looked at Andy, but because the villagers of the three Dog Villages were by Andy's side, they didn't make any other moves, Andy thought, if he broke into here by himself, I was afraid that he would be directly bitten and attacked by the dogs.
Huhu persuaded the two villagers to go away, and he took Andy inside.
"It's been a long time since I saw Andy, the last time we met in Blackfoot Village, have all the spore grass of Blackfoot been solved?"
"Of course, your advice works, those coyotes are indeed the natural enemies of spore grass."
"Ha, that's good, I've always thought ..... I don't know how to summarize it, but according to my observations, one animal in the wasteland is always able to keep the optimal number because of the other animals, and if the number of other animals goes wrong, then that animal will immediately have a problem.... Either the number of people suddenly and explosively increases, or the number of people drops sharply or even disappears. ”
Andy nodded in understanding.
"If I had to say, it's called ecological balance."
