Perhaps the West Coast is the same as the East Coast. People who have come out of different shelters have developed different types of settlements. Pre-war materials are buried under the ruins waiting to be excavated. There are unknowns and excitement everywhere... But, for the already Liz, who has fully experienced the characteristics of this world, can't take away even if he finds more powerful power armor and more powerful weapons, and vaguely sees himself as a member of the Eastern Brotherhood of Steel and feels that Western affairs are irrelevant, it is indeed missing. The momentum of the past.
If it had been three years ago, when he passed by "Nova", a small town surrounded by "a hotel" and "a dinosaur-shaped building that was used as a station post", he would go down and wander around a few times, even looking for She usually walked up the stairs to chat with the buddies at the station, and it was unlikely that she would watch Poole driving by quickly like this now.
Regardless, Liz is already "passionate" compared to a normal wastelander who is indifferent and dazed. At least he is looking forward to what the platinum chips on Benny, who has now been left behind by him, will be. , at the same time, he is also looking forward to what the so-called "Casino City" will be like in this world where most people can't even get enough to eat—
"Uh..." Well, he was destined to be disappointed.
It takes several days to walk and half a day is enough for a nuclear-powered car. In the evening, they have arrived at Camp McCarran, a stronghold established by NCR next to New Vegas. After some negotiation, they parked the nuclear-powered sedan in Camp McCarran with extreme anxiety, and then walked into New Vegas with two NCR Rangers who were like "identification cards".
… However, contrary to the members of the Brotherhood of Steel who were looking at the "tall and beautiful" buildings left before the war, Leeds' enthusiasm dropped by half in an instant. "It's not that Mr. Howes used his personal missile interceptor system Did you intercept the nuclear bomb that came over... Why do I still think that except for those few casinos, the rest of the place is just ruins?"
Yes, New Vegas seems to be divided into two major parts: the outer city and the inner city, and the inner and outer cities are also divided. The outer city where Leeds and others are now occupying more than 80% of the area is just the ruins of the war that can be seen everywhere in the wasteland, similar to the ruins of Washington D.C. on the east coast.
The fact is that the missile defense system accidentally failed to completely intercept the nuclear bomb, or whether the interception range of this system only takes care of the casino where he is located, probably only Mr. House himself knows, except that some chatter will deliberately investigate this kind of thing. People will search for the root cause... but it is still a big difference from the high-end casino that Leeds used to make up for.
"And the order is not very good." Clausa coldly looked at the ragged "New Vegas residents" who were chasing each other with lead pipes... Well, the winner was stunned (or killed) and lost. On the one hand, it looked like something was snatched from him.
Of course, this level of mob won't be a problem for them. The two bodyguards of NCR are the same thing. The members of the Eastern Brotherhood of Steel, including Poole, are still wearing power armor! Those who stand up without heavy weapons have to run away.
"... Mr. House is the manager of New Vegas, right?" Poole, who saw the previous scene, pondered for a while, then suddenly turned his head and asked the two locals.
"Well... Yes," the Ranger, who didn't expect to be questioned, was stunned for a moment, but he still told these little secret information, "It's just that the actual managers should be the three major families... They are Yuhao A manager who was single-handedly supported by Mr. Si from a backward tribe."
"In other words, everything is under his control... Humph~" Liz chuckled.
"..." This is not a very good answer, especially for Poole, who is planning to contact Mr. House, the initial impression of the other party is extremely low, and after living with Elder Lane, he will truly appreciate who is worthy of his trust and cooperation. … time to think carefully about what to say after the meeting.
After pondering for a while, Poole asked the Rangers again: "I remember that the Grand Casino does not allow weapons to enter? What about ordinary armor other than power armor?" Power armor... You tell others that this is not a weapon, and they will not. letter.
"Ordinary armor is no problem, even if it is heavy metal armor, at most it is troublesome when searching," the Ranger thought for a while, and still gave Lao Jianghu's advice, "As for weapons... As long as they are not discovered..."
If the diplomatic team was killed in the casino, they, as bodyguards, would be to blame, so they could only hide their body protection weapons such as miniature silencer pistols and iron-fingered tigers.
"We don't know the rules of Lucky 38 either," added another Ranger, "because no one has ever entered Lucky 38 where Mr. House is."
"Even the leader of the three major families?" Clausa said unexpectedly.
"If you send an order, the security robot will do it."
"That's right, as for the man two hundred years ago, who knows what he is, and it's normal that he doesn't want to be seen." Liz laughed, saying that he didn't think of what he learned from the captives after the Enclave was destroyed." The President is just an artificial intelligence." I don't believe it myself.
"... I'm going to other casinos to ask for information." The more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, and Poole decided to use his eyes and ears to confirm who the designer of the Liberty Pioneer was and what kind of city he managed. , after that... let's talk about it...
"Okay, brother soldier, let's call a few more blond beauties and let Poole ask for information!"
"... "Wait, he is serious about doing serious things! How could he make it look like he had saved up a lot because Sarah was pregnant? !
…
"I really want to drink an iced and steamed Nuka-Cola..." Lyon, who was carrying a travel backpack to Hoover Dam with Ada, said that he really didn't like the smell of sunset sarsaparilla.
"I prefer the taste of sarsa... Of course, it should also be chilled and steamed." Ada shrugged.
"Huh, the streets here are full of sunset sarsas... It seems that after returning to the main world, Liz will get the recipe for the 'sunset sars vending machine' again. It should be able to meet your taste requirements by then."
"Hehe, that's not bad~" Ada chuckled, "Speaking of who decides the content of 'our captain'..."
"Don't think about this kind of problem, Liz said that if you get too deep, you may be brought up by [someone]."
"Hehe, it doesn't matter~ I have nothing to do with it~~" Since Leon has this answer, it means that he has already asked Leeds face to face.
"Ada, our dinner tonight... huh?" He wanted to gossip about something to pass the boring wasteland trekking time, but Leon suddenly found a fire in front of him.
Pulled out a Gaussian rifle and used the zooming function of the scope on it, "A single super mutant? But why does the weapon on his body look like the Enclave's laser Gatling?"
Whatever, anyway, a headshot is instant, and the firepower is useless. This super mutant is not the uncle of the postman with a thick skull, and the Gauss rifle is not a small pistol.
However…
"… "
"Leon, why didn't you shoot?" said Adaqi, who couldn't hear the gunshot for a long time.
"No, am I hallucinating from drinking too much Nuka-Cola? The armor on his body says 'Leeds, my friend'..."
