Chapter 2: The undercurrent of infighting

So, after a series of friendly exchanges, the marauder leader named Burke began to hook up with Andy, inviting him to stay and join the marauders in their plans to invade a mysterious facility not far away.

Now, Andy has been assigned a tent to live in the marauders' camp, and Burke says they'll visit that place again tomorrow.

From his communication with Burke, Andy learns about the gang.

The group is called the Scorpion Bites, and they are a very small gang of marauders who originally operated in the north and later traveled all the way here due to some serendipity.

The Scorpion Bites infested Mesa Verde in an attempt to break down a tribe and plunder food and property, but they ran into a wall, first attacking one tribe without success and losing men, and then fleeing in a field attacked by a number of giant insects.

Coincidentally, they got lost.

Just a few days after Burke doubted his life, they suddenly discovered a remote entrance to the Twin Mother Tribe, and then broke into it.

The villagers of the Twin Mother tribe adhered to an extreme pacifist principle, and their angels either disappeared or hibernated, so they fled to the mountains in the face of the looting and looting of these marauders, allowing them to destroy the village and plunder the food.

But Burke was not satisfied, and the granary of the two mothers was not in the village on the ground, so they did not get much of value.

During an unwilling wandering, Burke saw a robot still running towards a place, he followed, and then found a pre-war building, but he still couldn't figure it out, because everyone knew that most of the pre-war buildings had automatic security systems, and they were afraid that they would die if they entered.

Andy's arrival gives him a hope, a hope to break into it and make a lot of money.

Interestingly, when Burke and Andy were talking about this, he dragged Andy to talk to him alone, and from this behavior, he didn't trust some people in his team very much.

"What should I do? It's inexplicable. ”

Andy lay in his tent, thinking to himself, he didn't want to go in with this group of marauders, who cares if they live or die... But if you leave them alone, you don't know what trouble you're going to cause next.... Looking at them like this, if they can't enter the shelter, they will probably have to go back and attack the Twin Mother Tribe.

Why don't you sneak out in the middle of the night and do them all?

Andy reached for the holster with one hand, not because he was murderous, but because he heard someone approaching his tent.

"Who?"

The shadow outside the tent stopped.

"Oh~ Don't be so nervous, handsome... I'm Trisha, and I've got something to talk to you about. ”

Andy looked at the graceful shadow and frowned, what was this woman who seemed to be Burke's girlfriend doing in her tent in the middle of the night?

"Tell me what you want."

Trisha smiled a little embarrassed.

"It's so cold out here~ What I'm going to say is comparative.... Private, let me go in and talk about it. ”

Andy couldn't figure out what the woman was trying to do, so he opened the tent door, and the woman squeezed in like a snake.

The tent was not big, and the two of them were huddled there, and the atmosphere was a little ambiguous for a while.

"Tell me, what do you want to say?"

Trisha rolled her eyes and leaned into Andy's ear to speak.

"Handsome guy~ Have you heard of Caesar's Legion?"

Andy looked at this woman inexplicably, and couldn't have imagined that she would come in in the middle of the night to say this... Could it be that there are still female spies in the legion? It didn't seem to match what he knew about the Legion.

"I've heard of it, but not much, I don't know anything more than they like the slave trade, discrimination against women and fair trade."

Trisha smiled and grabbed Andy's arm with one hand.

"The Legion is strong... When I was in the north before, I hadn't met Burke yet, I was in a town... Having done business and witnessed how they destroyed their enemies... I watched it that time... Very admired, I have some with the high-ranking officers of a legion.. After some exchanges, he told me that it was inevitable that the legion would march westward again. Everything here is going to belong to the Legion, and I think we should be prepared, don't you think? ”

Andy looked at Trisha who was close at hand and didn't know what to say, to put it mildly, this is a Muqiang bitch...

"So, what exactly do you want me to do?"

Trisha shoves a cassette into Andy's hand.

"I want you to get out of here right now, and give this cassette to the Legion for me, with the coordinates of this place recorded in it, and tell them everything about it."

Andy looked at the cassette in his hand, then at Trisha.

"What's in it for you? The Scorpion Bites Gang hasn't received the slightest help, will the Legion accept your favor? ”

Trisha smiled unconcernedly, and leaned closer.

"The Scorpion Bites Gang... Burke is cute, but these guys are too weak after all, aren't they? If any tribe of natives resists a little, they will have to flee, and I don't plan to stay here forever... The Legion doesn't need to accept the Scorpion Biting Gang, as long as I have some contribution, I have a relationship with the centurion sent by the Legion to be in charge of this affairs, you go to him, it's in Dog City in the northeast. ”

At this moment, she was almost attached to Andy.

"If you want, I can pay you right now~."

Andy grabbed her fumbled hand and pushed her away.

If he hadn't heard her say this, he still felt a little, and now he is a little unappetizing when he listens to this.... There can't be any illness in this woman...

"I'll think about it, I don't need you to pay anything."

Trisha stood up with a little regret on her face and winked at Andy.

"I know... You're afraid that Burke will be angry, right, it's okay, you think about it, you can do it any time...."

Trisha left the tent, and Andy looked at the cassette in his hand for a while, then prepared to throw it away tomorrow.

Although the two mother tribes don't have much friendship with him, he doesn't want to see this place slaughtered and enslaved by the legion, and the style of this woman also makes him hateful, she is not even a member of the legion, but she has become a spiritual legionnaire, and what is even more ironic is that she is still a woman.... But her presence also made Andy discover something.

The Legion's external influence is greater than they think, unlike the NCR, which is still busy fighting with their own autonomous states, their internal unity is high, which makes them extremely powerful and orderly. And being strong and orderly will itself form an attraction to the surroundings, and both men and women may not be able to take their eyes off it. Even put aside the facts and support them unconditionally.

Andy just wanted to lie down and sleep, but he had to sit up again because of the sound of someone approaching outside the tent again.

He sighed slightly in annoyance, this time the footsteps were calm and powerful, it was definitely not Trisha's bitch.

"Who?"

The footsteps stopped.

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
