Fallout 4: The Wasteland Life of a Pillager

Chapter 56 What is a human being?

After entering the shopping mall, Yi Beiwang dispersed everyone and asked them to explore the surroundings to see if there was anything worth noting.

He followed the receptionist's instructions and took the elevator to the office on the statue in the shopping mall.

Here, a military-style thug is flying in front of several terminals. It seems that he is the commander here.

There was a skeleton lying on the floor next to it, looking eerie.

Yi Beiwang was just looking at the skeleton when he heard the commander shout at him, "Don't move. Raise your hands and explain your purpose and identity!"

Yi Beiwang did not panic, and said calmly: "I am here to report. Have you forgotten that I am the new supervisor?"

The commander also looked dumbfounded, not realizing anything was wrong, and said in surprise, "Are you the resumption supervisor codenamed 18A? You are already late."

Yi Beiwang nodded and said, "Yes, I am the supervisor. Do you know what happened to the robot riots in the Federation recently..."

Before he could finish, the conductor interrupted him.

It said in a formal manner according to the set procedures: "To manually authorize the resumption of business agreement, please provide proof of identity. Any paper or electronic proof will do."

Yi Beiwang was stunned for a moment. He didn't have any ID card. Seeing that the situation was not right, he had to continue to deceive: "Then my ID card is downstairs. I'll go get it first. Is that okay?"

The commander took a deep look at Yi Beiwang, and then said, "Of course you can. We have been waiting for two hundred years. We can wait a little longer. Please go and come back soon."

Yi Beiwang nodded, then took the elevator back to the ground.

Piper, who was framing and looking for material, came over and asked, "Is there anything strange up there?"

Yi Beiwang nodded and said, "There is a strange thug, and there is a skeleton next to him. I always feel that something is strange."

"Where are Kroger and Dans, where are they doing?"

Piper said, "Dance went to the nearby Mr. Handy store to hang out. He said he wanted to see if there was any technology worth recycling."

"Kroger is still in the bowling alley. I don't know what he is doing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kroger kicked open the door and walked out of the bowling alley.

Yi Beiwang saw this and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Kroger nodded. "Really? Aren't these robots looking for a supervisor? The supervisor they are looking for is dead. His body is upstairs."

"It seems that there is something wrong with the program of these robots. They have been thinking that the supervisor is not dead, but just late. I think those thugs in the Federation should have left from here."

Yi Beiwang nodded after hearing this, but frowned again.

Something is wrong. Although the square here is not small, it is impossible for so many thugs to start from here.

What's more, there are more than just Mr. Thug among the riot robots in the Federation. Robots like Raiders and Iron Guards are definitely not something you can find in a shopping mall like this.

Before Yi Beiwang figured it out, he heard Kroger say, "Did that big idiot from the fraternity say something bad about the academy? Don't listen to him. Their fraternity isn't a good thing either."

Yi Beiwang was speechless. Why did it feel like you two were like children, saying bad things about each other behind their backs?

Piper, who was standing by, felt that he was about to hear something shocking, so he secretly took out his camera to record it.

Seeing Yi Beiwang's lack of reaction, Kroger muttered to himself, "Those idiots who only know how to preserve pre-war technology may talk nicely, but they don't treat the federal people as human beings."

"They don't even think about it. Without a strong technological foundation, how can they survive in the wasteland?"

"But the academy is different. The academy has been developing technology and seeking ways to save the world and all mankind..."

Before he finished speaking, Yi Beiwang asked, "Then I would like to ask, in the eyes of the academy, what is a real human being?"

Kroger was obviously stunned and didn't know how to answer, so he just said, "Do you know what a real human being is?"

Yi Beiwang shook his head and said, "I don't know. Perhaps those synthetic humans who have developed self-awareness can barely be called humans, but they are definitely not real humans."

"No one can define what a human being is, not even the Academy."

"If you stop redefining what it means to be human, maybe we can sit down and have a chat."

Kroger laughed disdainfully and said, "The nuclear bomb exploded two hundred years ago. In the past two hundred years, humans have been constantly eroded by radiation. Apart from some popsicles frozen in freezers, do you think humans today can still be called humans?"

"Besides, there are organizations outside the Federation that are pureblood supremacists, and they have been working hard to eliminate the others..."

Seeing how persistent Kroger was, Yi Beiwang was really curious about what kind of magic potion the people in the academy had given him.

Yi Beiwang asked, "Kroger, what did the academy give you? What made you change from a rebellious wolf to a submissive dog?"

"You really bring shame to the word plunderer."

Krog sneered and said, "Better than a fake looter like you!"

After saying that, Kroger walked towards the clothing store next door and ignored Yi Beiwang.

Yi Beiwang sighed and asked Piper, who was taking notes, "Piper, what do you think humans are?"

Piper tapped his head and said tentatively, "Humans are just a group of smart and lazy creatures."

Yi Beiwang asked doubtfully: "Why do you say that?"

Piper wrote down his notes while saying, "Because of intelligence, he was able to create so many technologies, and then use these technologies to free his hands, and finally slowly become lazy, and then use his intelligence to invent more efficient technologies, making himself even lazier, and so on... Did I summarize it well?"

Yi Beiwang praised: "That's a very good summary. Let's go. There's a restaurant next door. Let's go eat something."

When Piper heard that she had to eat, before she could react, Mike appeared out of nowhere with some jerky in his mouth.

"Boss, is dinner ready?"

"Um, it's time for dinner, let's eat together."

"Okay, let's eat..."

Perhaps we should add one more item to the definition of human beings, such as liking to eat, drink and have fun.

Yi Beiwang smiled helplessly and walked into the restaurant next door with Piper Mike.

What he didn't know was that inside the clothing store, Kroger was communicating with a synth.

"We have the program and are going to send it to the guy at the General Atomics International factory to have her make more."

"Don't worry, we have already found out. The Federation is so small, it is impossible to hide so deep..."

"We'll test it out later. If necessary, we can try to eliminate those fraternity members, but be careful... Understood."
