Chapter 12: The Remnants of the Old World
The car drove in a northeast direction for three days in a row....
The familiar red dust began to gradually fill the field of vision of the two.
Chrissy became more and more irritable, and it was a great torture to look at the red in her eyes every day.
"Oh my God... I really didn't expect such a place in the world. ”
She looked left and right, and the red desert was endless.
"It's disgusting, it's hot, and the red sand hurts your eyes."
Andy, of course, felt uncomfortable, not to mention anything else, the sand kept him irrepressibly recalling the incident when he and Kurisu were nine deaths to avoid the big sandstorm, and the strange encounter he experienced.
Now he knew where the red sand came from, if nothing else, it all came from the northeast....
A strong wind blew, and a red whirlwind flew not far away, and the flying sand rustled the cart.
"Bear with me, Chrissy... When your heart is restless, think more about the fact that this is to save all mankind. ”
Chrissy couldn't help but shake her head.
"You talk like a comic book protagonist..."
Suddenly, the demon in the back seat let out a series of roars.
Chrissy looked over strangely and saw the demon roaring out of the car window, and she poked her head out of the window to find a few dogs not far behind her.
"If the name of this place is true, I guess we should be almost there, and there are specialties already there."
Andy looked back when he heard the sound, and there was indeed a group of dogs passing by, about five of them.
It looks almost exactly like the Dan dogs in the Dog Village, Andy thought, it is estimated that the so-called Dan dogs are the meaning of dogs produced in Denver, all with long brown hair, fierce and powerful long mouths, and strong and refined bodies.
The bright red eyes seem to be soaked in this red desert, revealing madness and bloodlust.
"It looks very hard to mess with."
Andy glanced at it and didn't look again.
"We barely saw many people on the way here, when was the last time we saw a living person coming to Chrissy?"
Chrissy looked at the group of dogs and felt a little strange, among the dogs, there was one that looked very special.
"Chrissy?"
Chrissy turned back.
"What?"
"When was the last time we saw a living person?"
"The caravan heading west two days ago is the one whose captain was stung to death by a radscorpion, and the members of the caravan are clamoring to divide the goods and return to their respective homes."
Answering Andy's question, Chrissy stuck her head out the window to look at the dogs, still concerned about the different figure.
After a while, the dust gradually subsided, the obscuring vision dissipated, and the appearance of the dogs was completely exposed.
"What's that? Is that a dog too? ”
Chrissy was very surprised, the guy who seemed to be the king of dogs in the wild dog pack didn't look like a dog, although he also had limbs, but two of his legs were metal, and his body was covered with a metal plate, and his head was even more peculiar.... It appears to be a dog's brain in a clear glass container, with some unidentified yellow material encased in the brain.
Andy simply stopped the car and turned the steering wheel to face the dogs instead.
Sensing the threat, the wild dogs took defensive stances.
Through the car window, Andy saw the special wild dog that Chrissy had noticed, it was really very special, almost like a robot dog... But on closer inspection, you can see that some parts are indeed flesh and blood.
Taking off his sunglasses, Andy stared at the remaining signs on the dog's body.
"I'm afraid it has something to do with the armies of the Old World."
He looked at the five-pointed star wrapped in a ring, which was the same thing he had seen on the gate of the small military supply depot in the mountains behind Blackfoot Village, which was supposed to be the symbol of the SA Army.
"You say this is a pre-war military dog?"
Chrissy looked at the cyborg in disbelief.
"How is that possible? Can this thing live for more than 160 years? ”
The wild dogs looked at the Atomic Humvee warily, obviously not wanting to clash with the behemoth, so they changed their route and began to move away from here.
"It's not surprising."
Andy looked at the cyborg dog that glittered in the sunlight, its mechanically modified limbs glowing silver.
"This dog doesn't seem to be exactly a creature anymore."
Chrissy looked at the dog fixedly, and suddenly remembered something.
"I thought about it... I've heard of that dog, and I've found some of them after the NCR defeated Navarro, and it seems to be a very high-end technologically made modified creature. ”
"What is Navarro?"
"An important base for the enclave."
Andy raised an eyebrow, a somewhat attention-grabbing term.
"What did you do with them?"
"It's said that all those cyborg dogs were dissected in order to crack the enclave's technology."
"So... The NCR army now has this kind of cyborg dog, right? ”
"No, there isn't.... Nothing has been studied, it is all nonsense, a lot of resources have been wasted and nothing has been gained, and the technology of the enclave is too obscure for us to understand. ”
Andy looked at Chrissy a little speechless.
"Don't look at me like that, it's all those lords above and those brick family idiots, we soldiers only know how to obey orders."
Chrissy struggled to argue, but she also felt that NCR was a void in some areas.
"I wonder how you managed to defeat the enclave in the first place... In the case of you who don't know anything about pre-war technology. ”
Andy thought, I'm afraid that in the eyes of the enclave, the NCR is no different from the natives....
"The Brotherhood of Steel has been furious, they have always believed that the remnants of the pre-war SA government should be responsible for the world becoming what it is, not to mention their sincere belief that the important technologies that have been mastered by the enclave urgently need them to rescue and preserve them... So at that time, the Brotherhood of Steel made a lot of efforts. ”
Chrissy recalls the past when the NCR mobilized all the forces of the country to fight side by side and finally defeated the enclave of evil forces, and she was still a little enthusiastic.
"It's a pity.. The relationship didn't last, and after the enclave was defeated, the Brotherhood of Steel quickly turned the finger at the NCR, the new enclave they saw. ”
The wild dogs ran away and disappeared, and the area was almost completely uninhabited, except for all kinds of dangerous creatures running around, which was really not a good place to settle.
However, Andy recalls that the leader of the crypto tribe, Azqi, had mentioned that there was a group of scavengers in Dog City who were dedicated to recovering pre-war equipment, and it was probably not a complete no-man's land.
"So the enclave is completely finished?"
Chrissy retracted her gaze and looked ahead, it was still a long red desert...
"The enclave is a large organization, and after their defeat, it is said that large forces fled to the east, and some people have fled in all directions. The NCR has been severely wanted for years, and if they are discovered, they will be arrested, and those who resist will be shot on the spot, and if they don't resist, they will probably spend the rest of their lives in prison..."
