Chapter 31: The Counter
The bald head with a calculator around his neck stood up and walked up to Andy.
"Hello, outsider, just call me Azqi. Did you mean this one around my neck? That's right, this is a machine with computing functions, which is handed down by the ancestors and can be regarded as a token. ”
The person in front of him is quite handsome, with good facial features, and his image is top-notch among the natives, and he is probably not even forty years old, and he still has that kind of vitality and passion in his eyes, and he can see that he is a leader who wants to make a difference.
"Hmm.. Hello Azqi, my name is Andy... My companion and I came to you this time to inquire about one thing, I heard that most of the villagers in your crypto village will leave the village to wander around, right? ”
Azqi nodded.
"Of course, this is our tradition, in fact there are many tribes around us as well, and I would like to keep all my relatives with me, but our resources do not allow it. I'm sure you've noticed along the way that our arable land is very scarce, and the natural output around us is far from sufficient. In fact, there is simply no capacity to feed so many people here, so I have to strictly screen out those who have to stay, and let the others leave the village.... There's no way around it, and I've heard you've helped with Acute Angle, so please just ask. ”
Andy thought to himself that this was exactly the same as the analysis of Kurissu, and she really knew a lot about the tribal culture.
"Azqi, if I want to find an antidote to some kind of pre-war disease, where am I going to find it?"
The bald man was stunned for a moment, and then rolled his eyes.
"Well, it looks like you're planning to go on your way in search of something.... In fact, I feel that I still have a little say in this kind of problem, because the people of the village are almost all spread out in all directions, and when they come back occasionally, they bring back some information.... To your question, I know that there is a huge old world ruin where you can historically find all sorts of high-grade scrap and everything, and if you go there and search, you will definitely get what you are looking for. ”
Azqi then recounted in detail the location of a place called Dog City.
Andy took a look at the spot on the Pip-Boy's map... He remembered that he had vaguely heard of this place, such as the Dog Village, and at that time he didn't have the leisure to ask the group of guys about the location of their ancestral land, which they had almost forgotten all about, and he didn't expect that he would end up going there... As I learned before, this place is in the northeast.
"This...."
Feeling a little headache, Andy thought, it's okay, just send Kurisu back by the way.
Azqi's eyes lit up, and he asked again.
"Looks like you're going there recently, so can you do us a favor before then?"
"What?"
Azqi let out a sigh.
"I'm sure you know, the Viper has been besieging outside for a long time, and many of the villagers in our village who are wandering outside are trying to come back to save the village, and some of them have suffered misfortune because of their fighting.... Fortunately, we are confident that they will not be able to take our village, and we can continue to fight them here.... But this situation cannot be sustained. ”
He looked at Andy sincerely.
"We used to live mainly on moles raised in caves and crops grown in greenhouses on the top of the mountain, but now the poisonous snakes have released their snakes in the mole holes and killed all of our moles... It won't be long before the crypto village will fall into a famine and face a big crisis... I hope you can help us get out of this situation. ”
The Pip-Boy shook.
[New Task: Help with Encryption]
[Optional: Solve the food crisis]
Andy looked at Azqi with a frown, and frankly, his heart was a little tangled ......
"What about this..."
Seeing Andy's wandering, Azqi hastened to explain further.
"I see your armor and pistol, and you may not know it, but the ancestral truths passed down from generation to generation in our village can help us understand how to repair and craft those pre-war complex items, and we can help you strengthen your equipment..."
Andy thought to himself that this was about the same, he looked at the epidemic intensity of the beep boy, fortunately, the growth rate is very slow, and it can be delayed a little.
"Okay, so what do you want me to do?"
Azqi let out a bunch of toilets with a smile on his face.....
"Well, I want you to go out and catch a batch of moles and come back to fill our lost moles, and there seems to be some problems in our greenhouse lately, besides, ....."
Andy listened to it and immediately raised his objections.
"Those things are not a symptom at all, isn't the key to your lack of food being besieged by poisonous snakes? On the way, I also encountered a caravan that could not enter because they were besieging your village, and if they could be destroyed, wouldn't your problem be solved?" ”
Azqi scratched his head, looking a little helpless.
"We are so few of us that we have no choice but to hold on... Of course, we know that the problem is caused by poisonous snakes, but I can't find a way to get rid of them. ”
Andy suddenly had an idea, thinking of the unstable cliff he had seen from a high place earlier.
"I have an idea, there is a rock high up outside your village that seems to be able to be brought down, how about using that thing to surprise the vipers below? Do you have any pre-war stuff that can make a big bang? ”
Azqi was stunned, and quickly realized that this was a good countermeasure.
"We have that kind of thing, right in the arsenal, as if it were handed down from our ancestors... So, just blast the stone with that one and you can smash the viper away... But the place where the vipers are stationed is not directly below that place, which probably won't completely wipe them out. ”
Andy said I still have urgent things to do, can I still serve you now?
So he spread out his hand and swung directly at Azqi.
"Even that would undoubtedly help your village now, and it would always give you some respite, wouldn't it? I'm really in a hurry to go to Dog City, maybe I'll come back when I have time? All in all, there's only so much time I can spend on you now, do you want me to help? ”
Azqi nodded repeatedly, and immediately set off to take Andy and the two out of the room.
"I'll take you to the arsenal to find those pre-war things that can explode, those things have been mothballed there for many years and no one has used them, and there is no one in the village who can use them, you must help us.... I've got to go find a nasty guy before I go there, though. ”
Azqi walked towards a cliff house not far away.
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
