Fallout 4: The Wasteland Life of a Pillager

Emily took out the banknotes officially issued by NCR, which used to be very useful until the NCR vault was blown up by the Brotherhood of Steel, and the banknotes quickly depreciated.

In order to avoid economic collapse, the major chaebol businessmen and landlords implemented a bottle cap monetary policy based on water. After all, this stuff has large reserves and is difficult to imitate on a large scale.

Up to now, ten NCR banknotes can be exchanged for one bottle cap. This kind of currency with anti-counterfeiting technology is not as good as the bottle cap. Not many people recognize it outside California, and some places even use it to wipe their butts.

But sadly, the Mojave defenders haven't received even such worthless paper money for two years.

Boone glanced at the two hundred dollars in Emily's hand. This amount of money could not even buy a bottle of water. He really didn't know where these people got the courage and capital to enter Shelter No. 22.

He took a few steps back to prevent Emily from bumping into them, tilted his head and discussed with Lana beside him: "Just pretend you didn't see her. Look at her condition. It would be a waste of medicine even if we cure her."

Lana looked at the fungus on Emily's body and agreed, "I think it's okay. I can't add another burden to myself. If it doesn't work, let's give her a quick death."

"You are so bad."

"To each other."

Listening to the two people arranging their own fate without any concealment or evasion, Emily stood up angrily and shouted: "Are you kidding me! Ahem... I am from the NCR Science Department, are you going to give up on me like this?"

"The guy with the red hat, you are from the First Reconnaissance Battalion, right? I now order you... ahem... I order you to give me a gas mask and take me away from here."

Boone was stunned for a moment when he heard that, then he looked around for something and soon took out a water pipe from a locker. After waving it around and finding it worked smoothly, he knocked Emily back against the wall with one blow.

Emily vomited blood, which was mixed with a little fungal substance and was twisting slowly like a worm.

She looked at Boone in disbelief, only to see him looking at her like she was dead.

"Shut up, you are a bunch of idiots who take tax money but can't research anything. You just squander the money and rely on digging for scientific research."

"It's because there are too many idiots like you that NCR is getting worse and worse... Forget it, why should I waste my time talking to you?"

Just as Boone was about to swing the stick, Emily felt the threat of death and said quickly, "Don't... I know where the things you are looking for are! We came here for them too."

"I can lead the way for you, please don't kill me..."

Hearing this, Boone and Lana huddled together and whispered, thinking that they could let Emily go for the time being and let her help explore the way and lead the way.

After all, I'm unfamiliar with the place and I don't know what dangers may come along the way, so it would be nice to have a cannon fodder to help.

As for saving people...what a joke, they only save people, not idiots.

The two threw a healing needle to Emily, and after confirming that she would not die for the time being, they forced her to move forward to explore the way. At the same time, War Fox and Bayer encountered a similar situation.

…………

"You mean, you got separated from your girlfriend?"

War Fox looked at the pale-faced Little Black Wesker in front of him with a smile and asked, "Have you ever seen a blond man who is handsome but not as handsome as me? He should be nearby, but I can't find him."

"Don't try to play tricks like you did just now, or you'll end up in a terrible situation."

Just now, War Fox met Wesker, a member of the Sunshine Expedition Team. When he was about to ask for information, he was attacked by a parasite.

Adhering to the principle of "a friend's death is better than my own", Wesker originally wanted to use War Fox to delay time, but he saw War Fox cleanly and neatly deal with the parasite, and then he was rewarded with five consecutive lightning whips.

Looking at the vines used as whips in War Fox's hands, Wesker knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Please spare my life. I really don't know anything. I'm just too scared..."

"Haha, the people of NCR are so hypocritical. They still won't tell the truth even after such a long time."

War Fox stepped on Wesker's hand and said with a smile: "Have you heard of the eleven-draw kill? It means to draw one person out of ten and kill the rest."

"Let's simplify the game today. I will choose one of your ten fingers and interrupt the rest. Which one do you think is better to pick..."

Wesker was so scared that he almost turned into a white man. He shouted, "No, I know why Lewis and Zhao En came here. They are not here just for adventure. They are here to investigate something."

"Huh? That's interesting. Tell me more about it."

"They seem to want to find out about a mysterious force hidden in Mojave, it seems to be called... the Great Mountain Range..."

…………

"Yes, all the weird plants and fungi you see now come from the Great Mountains."

Lewis and Zhao En stood together, pointing to an old blackboard and writing on it, explaining to Bayer: "Don't be fooled by the fact that we keep emphasizing in front of everyone that we are here for adventure. In fact, we are here to uncover the mystery of the mountains. In order to do this well, we have to deceive even ourselves."

"However, Qiu Dean was the only one in the team who didn't know about this. His family was rich and could provide us with funds for the activities, so we always accompanied him in playing adventure games. We didn't expect that we would fail this time, but fortunately, we also got rewards."

"Look at these plants on the wall, and then look at the fungi that control the corpses. Mr. Bayer, have you ever thought that maybe this could be a brand new weapon?"

"We were only planning to collect some spores, but unfortunately we were attacked by a monster and got separated from the others along the way."

"Mr. Bayer, you look like a man who pursues science. Why don't we work together? As long as we get the parasitic spores out, the damn Brotherhood and the garbage Legion will be nothing but passing clouds. Sooner or later, this wasteland will be in the hands of NCR!"

Lewis' eyes were shining with desire for fame and fortune. He never thought about whether he could completely control the parasitic spores, let alone what to do if the spores leaked out.

Zhao Enze massaged his teacher's shoulders and back, fantasizing that he would also benefit from his teacher's success and become the most famous scientist in Shayin City.

The two were so absorbed in their fantasy that they did not notice Bayer carefully picking up a test tube containing pure parasitic spores.

He held it above his head and admired it under the light, muttering, "Spores that can bring animal corpses back to life, spores that allow animals to photosynthesize... Haha, what a beautiful creation."

"I just don't know what effect it would have if used directly on a living person..."
