Chapter Twenty-Nine: Walking Alone

The dim sun illuminates the wasteland, withered plants and thirsty monsters are still and moving on the ground, and everything is the same as yesterday, unchanged in more than a hundred years.

A modified Humvee shattered the silence for a moment, and the pack howled at it in exchange for a few lasers for precise headshots.

Andy retracted the self-charging pistol, regretting that this thing had no gunfire and gunsmoke, and it was a little less flavorful.

If he has the chance, he will definitely have to get some ammunition to replenish his ammunition stockpile. Xiao Hei was lying on his stomach in the back seat, he was a little uneasy when he took the transportation for the first time, he was not very used to bear the bumps in a closed environment, and his habits were not the same as those of a dog.

But after Diana's adjustment, it absolutely obeyed Andy's orders, and did not start to go crazy because of this uneasiness without permission.

The Pip-Boy has entered the driving navigation mode, Andy can clearly see the distance from the target and the current direction, and the area he passes through is mapped in real time, so that it is convenient to travel again next time.

"Every time, I think you're too powerful." Andy touched the beep-beep boy and dodged a rock flying from the side with a dozen steering wheels.

He stopped the car, and several natives appeared on the side of the hillside, their faces covered in strange brown paint, and all around their necks hung a strange ornament made of colored stones.

Several bodies hung upside down from a crooked-necked tree behind them, their heads gone. The guy standing at the front widened his eyes angrily, raised his spear and looked at Andy defiantly.

Seeing Andy get out of the car, the other party immediately squeaked and screamed, regardless of whether the other party understood the extremely fast local dialect.

Andy only understood a few bits and pieces, such as immediate, irreverent, and so on. He couldn't help but shake his head, he didn't have the heart to argue with these natives.

As soon as he turned his head to leave, the native jerked across the spear in his hand and hurled it at Andy.

The beautifully crafted spear flew through the air like a giant bow and arrow, and its reflective head was sharp enough to pierce the tough skin of the wasteland creatures.

A volley of black shadows bites down on the flying spear and pushes it away, and Blackie's reaction speed is faster than that of a human, and it easily helps Andy avoid this insidious attack.

On the other side, Andy didn't even look back, and went straight to the car, leaving the natives to ignore it. The spear-throwing natives roared, and as he stretched out his index finger to give a command, the two natives jerked out two preserved ancient submachine guns from behind their backs and fired at Andy's atomic Humvee, but after all, the range was limited and the atomic Humvee was too fast, and all the bullets they fired eventually missed the target for no sense.

A woman with shoulder-length pigtails slowly walked out from behind the natives, followed by two natives who resembled guards, and the other natives immediately knelt on the ground when they saw her coming, making an extremely reverent gesture.

It is clear that this is the daughter of Hecate. She said something to the native chief beside her, who immediately nodded in agreement, and the daughter of Hekate stared in the direction Andy was heading, not knowing what she was planning.

Andy sat in the car, completely unaware of what had just happened. This happens so often that even without Black's help and the help of V-mode, the spear won't be able to hit him.

If he rushes at the natives who occupy the high ground in anger, the other party can take the opportunity to kill him with a hidden hot weapon.

Maybe Andy can still win the final shot in the head-to-head shot, but at such a price, he will hardly get anything in return.

Andy was disgusted by the barbarism of the tribes in this land, and some of his worldview memories were still influenced by the impressions of the NcR territory, and he was not particularly receptive to the primitive and wild ideas of the tribes, such as the widespread slavery, plunder, and various cruel and bloody religious and religious customs among the native tribes.

He thinks that these natives need to be educated, but on the other hand, he doesn't think that NcR can educate them.

Even the native tribes in the border areas of the NcR are not without completely refusing all material and intellectual assistance from the NcR or the followers of the Apocalypse, they naturally reject the so-called civilization and completely become wild humans who have separated from human civilization.

As we continued to move south, there were some unpaved artificial paths ahead, which meant that there were relatively large groups of humans in the area, so they were able to leave decent traces.

In the distance, Andy actually saw a person waving in front of him to stop the car. Generally speaking, not only is it impossible to get a favor from dealing with such a guy, but it is more likely that they will encounter danger, and instead of stopping and asking, many irascible wastelanders would rather stay away or even simply rush over and intimidate the other party into getting out.

But when he got closer, Andy saw what appeared to be one

"Civilized man", he was not wearing a strange turf skirt or animal skin coat, he was wearing a slightly dirty white coat, the expression on his face was very anxious, and between his eyebrows was less fierce and elusive, which was common among the people of the wasteland, but ..... With a natural softness.

Andy hesitated whether to waste this time, but the other party saw that Andy didn't mean to slow down significantly, so he took off his white coat and shook it towards Andy with the back of the pattern.

It was a cross with a ring in the middle. The car stopped in front of the man, and Andy got out of the car.

"You're... People of the followers of the Apocalypse? The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly.

"Yes sir, my name is Bridge, and I guess you're here from the west, right? I guess we're all NcR people? After all, the inhabitants of this realm don't usually drive cars, and as you can see, I'm a follower of the Apocalypse..... It's a bit embarrassing to say that, but the situation is urgent and I have to ask for any help I can, you.... If you're going to Ouroboros Village to the south, can you try to help my companions? Andy looked at him for a moment, and judging from all the details, what he said should be true.

The Followers of the Apocalypse are a strange organization dedicated to altruism and the well-being of the people, often giving free relief to the poor people of the lower reaches of the wasteland with little to no return, so their popularity among the NcR folk is quite high.

In order to repay the favor, many people are willing to volunteer with the followers of the apocalypse, and in many ways support them unconditionally.

While their presence is a good thing for the NcR community as a whole, their style also poses some problems.

The NcR government has always felt that these guys, who are constantly attacking their policies, are standard anarchists, after all, they often contradict the NcR government.

The rebels always like to divide up the precious resources they provide, and do whatever they want in the boneyard state, which is not too orderly, making the society there more chaotic.

After the Eastward Movement began, and even before the movement officially began, the Followers of the Apocalypse who had come to the East with the troops sent by the NcR were doing much the same thing as before.

They sent representatives to contact the various indigenous tribes, offering to teach them their precious pre-war knowledge on a voluntary basis, for the sole purpose of doing so

The idea of "civilized" was not often understood or accepted by the native chieftains, let alone the dangers they encountered during the long journey to the tribe.

The one in front of me is probably one of them. Andy took out a bottle of water from the car and handed it to the grizzled guy in front of him, he had brought plenty of supplies before he came out of the nursery, the food and water there were simply endless, if it weren't for the fact that the Atomic Hummer and the Pip-Boy couldn't fit all of them, and he had to carry enough Hope Fruit out, then Andy planned to bring more.

"Tell me slowly, what the hell is going on? You mentioned Ouroboros Village, what do you know about it? Tell me about it. Bridge gulped down the water and made a refreshing sound.

"Okay.... Where do I start, anyway, I don't know if you know about Ouroboros Village and if you're going there, but from the direction you're heading, you're sure to be passing through that particular village. Half a month ago, our superiors asked us to go to this village to investigate some information, and it is said that the armed army sent here is threatening and killing other tribes in the area, so we want to know what is going on. Andy touched his chin and listened to Bridge's narration, and Blackie watched in a vigilant circle, a mutant scorpion trying to get closer, but was scared away by Black's fierce menacing howls and bites.

"At that time, my companion Adrian Bell and I came all the way here, and I didn't expect them to allow tourists to visit, and Adrian suddenly wanted to talk directly to the head of the village, which scared me... Unexpectedly, he finally got what he wanted. But it wasn't long before the tribesmen changed their attitude towards me and forcibly drove me out of the village, and Adrian feared that they were holding me in their prison. Bridge put down the water bottle and looked Andy up and down, more convinced that this was the one who could help him.

"Please, maybe you can go in and find out why Adrian is being held and see if you can get him out. If you can get him out, I'm sure we'll reward you later, and at least you'll be friends with the Followers of the Apocalypse, and we'll be able to meet at Hoover Dam then. Andy felt the Pip-Boy shake, and as expected, a new mission was revealed.

[New Mission: Rescue the Prisoner] [A follower of the Apocalypse is said to be held captive in Ouroboros Village, trying to find a way to get him out.
