Chapter 5: Breaking into the Forbidden Land
When Andy returned to the Village of the Mother, Chrissy had been waiting for a long time.
"Where the hell have you been?"
She looked at Andy suspiciously, because when she came to the village and asked the others, the reply was that Andy had not returned to the village yesterday, and when she was about to go out to find someone, she suddenly found Andy in the village.
"Oh, it's beautiful, and I'll stay there for the night."
With a casual rambling of nonsense, Andy saw Helia beside him.
"Help me tell Araya that the raiders who destroyed your village are gone, and you don't need to be so nervous now... But you'd better not go down and try to rebuild the village yourself, because there may still be a group of people on the way, as I said before. So... Let me see if I can find your goddess, I'm going to go to the forbidden area. ”
Helia opened her mouth, hesitating to say a word.
“... I should thank you for your help, but I can't, and neither can any of us show you the way. Entering the forbidden area is strictly forbidden by the goddess, but this prohibition does not include people outside the village, so I will not comment on it. But there is one thing I need to remind you of that the Goddess has supreme power, and if you try to be violent against the Goddess, you will be destroyed. ”
"I know, I know, you do this every day."
Andy waved his hand and took Chrissy and walked towards the exit of the village.
After a while, the two of them came to the area where the Scorpion Bite Gang had camped before.
The surrounding mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the breeze blows through the trees, grasses and wetlands, revealing a pure, natural beauty in the calm.
"Oh puppet, that's nice here."
Chrissy walked over to the water and washed her face.
As she was crouching at the water's edge, a ripple suddenly swept under the clear water not far away.
A hand pulled her over, and Kerry was unexpectedly dragged to the ground.
Beneath the crystal clear water, a behemoth slid past, and its skin looked numb.
"What? ...”
Chrissy didn't see this, but was annoyed by Andy's strange movements.
"There's something amazing in the water, and besides, don't you notice bullet marks around?"
Chrissy looked left and right when she heard this, and sure enough, there were traces of bullets on some stones and trees, and some blood stains could be faintly seen on the ground, but nothing else...
As she watched, she picked up a pistol next to a rock.
“... So there was a fire here? But what about corpses? ”
Andy gestured to the wide expanse of water ahead.
"It's all eaten up by nature, isn't it? We should be grateful to nature for cleaning up the garbage..."
Chrissy looked at the water with some trepidation for a while, and then retreated.
"Don't be so scared, they're all full, let's go... Go to that forbidden area and have a look. ”
Andy held up the beep boy to look at the map, with the coordinates provided by Thor and some words from Helia and Burke, it was no longer a problem to find the forbidden area, the problem was only how to enter the forbidden area, and get the clues he wanted there, the clues to the super biological research center called the nursery.
He took the black card in his hand and turned it around a few times, this thing is so easy to use, how can it appear in the hands of the chief of the Twin Mother Tribe...
As the two walked along, some valleys appeared in front of them, and the road became steeper and harder.
After a while, the eyes suddenly opened up, and not far away, a concrete bunker-like building appeared, followed by a cave.
"Artificial buildings, that's right, this is the forbidden area."
Andy compares the Pip-Boy markings and confirms that this is the destination.
Chrissy pinched her waist and looked at the concrete bunker.
"I can't imagine how they brought those building materials in from outside. So many heavy things have to be carried all the way from the outermost part to the inside, and then they are poured, built, and repaired..."
Andy looked left and right, and soon saw a dormant robot in a corner, standing motionless.
"The people of the old world don't do the tiring work anymore, they throw all those things to the robots.... These tedious tasks were done day and night by tireless and painful robots, and eventually those robots also found their way into the buildings they built to this day. ”
The surrounding terrain is perfect for building shelters here, the valley is interrupted here, and it is conceivable that the aftermath of the nuclear explosion will not reach here at all, even if the war is several times more intense, this remote and barrier-rich place is not threatened by the end of the nuclear war.
But the biggest problem stems from the biggest advantage, which is that it's too remote.
Andy reminisces about the people of the Twin Mother Tribe, who have some of their own characteristics, but still speak the lingua franca, do not have too many barbaric customs, and even create complex art. All this has nothing to do with the active goddess they believe in, and it has nothing to do with the refuge in front of them.
Andy walked over to the square concrete bunker and noticed a metal barrier door in front of it, with a few gaps in it, so he leaned over to take a look after confirming that there was no threat in V-mode.
Chrissy waited curiously for the result, she wasn't tall enough to see unless she jumped.
"What's there?"
Andy left the door with a grimace.
"A killing machine can kill dozens or hundreds of that behemoth at once, I knew it would be this kind of thing, this should be a gatekeeper."
Without lingering long, the two of them walked into the cavern.
Andy turns on the lights of the Pip-Boy, the pale green fluorescence illuminates the darkness, and everything ahead is unknown.
After walking along the cave for a while, Andy found that the cave was quite long, and looking at the traces on the surrounding rocks, it was artificially trimmed, and even some pipelines could be seen arranged on it, and these equipment must be for the service of the facilities inside.
"What do you say we're going to do if we meet that goddess?"
Chrissy began chatting out of boredom.
"We're wearing this dress now, and we look like we're from the Twin Mother Tribe, but if we follow the piety of the Twin Mother Tribe, shouldn't we face the goddess and throw ourselves to the ground, with a handful of snot and tears, begging her to come back quickly to save the village, and by the way, ask for some high-tech equipment to arm ourselves?"
Andy was slightly amused.
"I think, looking at the taboo of those villagers here, the villagers who dare to come here can already default to the people who betray the gods, do you think the probability of Goddess Diana killing you with a slap or sending you equipment is high?"
Chrissy thought to herself, and guessed that this was indeed the case.
"Okay, anyway, that goddess is probably gone a long time ago, maybe she has..."
Before the words fell, the darkness ahead was suddenly illuminated by a blue light, and Andy and Chrissy were stunned to see a huge blue translucent figure that appeared in front of them, it was a strange woman with long hair hanging down and wearing a simple robe, and there were no eyes in her eyes.
The strange blue translucent female figure flickered slightly, and finally stabilized, and in the dull eyes of the two, she slowly spoke.
"My children."
The woman's address is very kind, but her expression and eyes are indifferent.
"Why did you step here?"
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
