Fallout 4: The Wasteland Life of a Pillager

Two days later, in Yi Beiwang's house.

Yi Beiwang and Captain Zhao had a lively conversation and were enjoying themselves so much that they almost wanted to become sworn brothers on the spot.

During this period, Captain Zhao taught Yi Beiwang some knowledge, such as how to farm efficiently and how to train the people here efficiently.

Yi Beiwang also exchanged a lot of Dragon Country food, such as dumplings, and asked Captain Zhao to eat as much as he wanted, as he would have enough for himself.

Captain Zhao couldn't eat, but he didn't reject Yi Beiwang's kindness and tasted the food slowly.

During the conversation, Yi Beiwang also called Curie over and asked her to check Captain Zhao's physical condition.

Looking at Captain Zhao who was eating dumplings, Yi Beiwang asked Xiang Curie in a low voice: "How is Captain Zhao's health? Can he survive until he returns home?"

Curie shook his head and said, "This old man's health is not optimistic. His body is mutating towards a ghoul. I'm afraid..."

"But don't worry. Some time ago I found a pre-war anti-radiation drug that can effectively delay the process of transformation into a ghoul."

So, doesn’t that mean Captain Zhao might never come back?

Well, returning to one's roots is a good destination.

Yi Beiwang sighed and whispered, "Take out all those anti-radiation drugs and give them to Captain Zhao when he leaves. Also take the gold and silver looted from the warehouse. We don't really need them anyway."

"How much of Isabel's robot has been assembled? Send some of it to send Captain Zhao home."

"Fortunately, Mike's work efficiency is not very high, so we still have time to prepare..."

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.

Mike rushed into the room in a hurry, holding a coil in his hand and shouting, "Boss, I got that coil back for you, and I also got a set of power armor."

"Huh, this trip was really tiring. The blacksmith shop was occupied by a bunch of colleagues. I fought with Lao Hei and the popsicle girl for a long time before they killed her. Their leader also said that his cousin was a member of the Wolf Warrior Gang. Boss, have you heard of this gang?"

Yi Beiwang shook his head and thought to himself: I won’t complain about your ability to come up with nicknames for now, but when has your work efficiency ever been so high?

You are a foreigner, so can't you take your time?

No, Mike just wanted to get back quickly to eat something delicious.

He looked at the dumplings in the pot that he had never eaten and felt a little impatient, but because there were guests there, he couldn't ask for them directly.

Captain Zhao smiled and said, "Let's have a bite together. I hope you don't mind."

"Thank you, old gentleman."

For the first time, Mike sat in a chair properly and ate his food slowly.

Captain Zhao looked at the damping coil he brought back and said regretfully, "Happy times are always short-lived. Xiao Yi, I have to go now."

Yi Beiwang said reluctantly: "You can stay for a few more days. I don't need a pair of chopsticks from you... Alas."

Yi Beiwang knew that Captain Zhao was determined to leave.

Even though he had a premonition that his body could not hold on for much longer, and even though the Yangtze might not be able to take him home.

Captain Zhao still wanted to take the risk and go back, even if he had to die, he would rather die in the waters of Dragon Country.

This has been his obsession that has lasted for two hundred years, and Yi Beiwang cannot change it even if he uses all his charm.

Thinking of this, Yi Beiwang sighed, then calmed himself down and took Captain Zhao back to the Yangtze.

…………

Inside the Yangtze, Captain Zhao couldn't contain his joy as he watched the robots brought by Yi Beiwang complete the internal repairs of the submarine.

But he seemed to suddenly think of something, and his expression became ugly again.

Yi Beiwang saw this and asked, "Old Zhao, what's wrong? Are you missing something?"

Captain Zhao shook his head and said, "Now there is only one step away from launching the Yangtze, and that is nuclear fuel."

Yi Beiwang asked again: "Don't you know where to get it? If it doesn't work, I'll send someone out to look for it. They'll always be able to find it."

Captain Zhao sighed and said, "No, there is something inside the Yangtze that can replace nuclear fuel."

"Two hundred years ago we carried six intercontinental ballistic missiles, five of which successfully hit their targets, and one failed to launch successfully due to a malfunction and is now in the nuclear power room."

"Now we just need to remove the nuclear warhead and install it into the nuclear reactor, but the problem is..."

Captain Zhao hesitated for a moment before he continued, "The people who survived the submarine run aground slowly mutated into ghouls, and I was the only one who still had consciousness."

"They won't attack me, but I can't do anything to them either, so..."

Captain Zhao put a pistol into Yi Beiwang's hand and said in a trembling voice, "Xiao Yi, help them, okay?"

Huh? What do you mean? You want me to shoot them?

At this moment, Yi Beiwang only felt that the gun was extremely hot, and he didn't want to attack his compatriots.

He asked in disbelief: "Can't you find a way to save their lives? They are heroes too."

Captain Zhao lamented, "The access card to the nuclear power room was in the possession of the former first mate. Before he mutated, he valued this thing more than his life, and it is still the same now."

"And loading the nuclear warhead into the reactor is a very delicate job. There can be no mistakes. If they suddenly go crazy, we will all die."

Yi Beiwang was speechless after hearing this. He rubbed the gun in his hand with his fingers, as if he was making a difficult decision.

But at this moment, he suddenly remembered something, opened the attribute panel, and glanced at a certain skill on it.

Ghoul's physique... Will some crazy ghouls regard me as one of their own?

Looking at his luck point of 15 on the attribute panel, Yi Beiwang had a bold idea in his mind.
