As they approached Rivet City step by step, Liz and the others encountered significantly fewer mutant creatures, perhaps because the flow of people was relatively large, and even if there were mutant creatures, they had already been dealt with by passers-by in front. Correspondingly, they finally encountered "legitimate professional workers" in the wasteland. There are wandering merchants with two-headed cows and guards to sell goods, there are old people who rely on scavenging scraps from the ruins of the city to run a junk shop with only a sheet of iron, and there are zombies who walk around with tools and repair weapons for a living... Everyone is armed with weapons, but it makes Leeds and the others feel that there are still people engaged in "normal" jobs in this wasteland, and it is not only the residents who live in the towns who have a relatively "peaceful" life. way.
I don't know whether to say that the distance is long or that the march is slow on both feet, and everyone had to spend another night on the cross-sea highway leading to the Jefferson Memorial. Although it seemed that a different route would be able to walk into the wreckage of the building to avoid the cold night wind, but the area was marked by the name of the landmark on the Pip-Boy, and it was another wave of bandits. In contrast, the cross-sea highway has only two straight passages with a wide field of vision, and it is quite easy to defend.
Along with the overnight stay, there is bound to be a popular dinner event with the "taste from two hundred years ago". Others have almost gotten used to it. Even Nuka-Cola with radioactive elements has no psychological pressure at all, but this time, there was one dinner. Newcomer - Ada, who is mature and glamorous, rarely shows a slight expression of disgust, especially when Liz and Klaussa sat opposite her and nibbled at the lizards on purpose.
After a night of silence, everyone set off again early the next morning. Except for the firefight with a few super mutants when passing by the Jefferson Memorial Hall, the last part of the road was a comfortable one. They finally saw what James wanted in the mouth of the three dogs. To the destination - Rivet City.
The so-called Rivet City is a city slowly formed by a group of scholars embarking on an aircraft carrier that has been stranded in this waters since the war. More than two hundred years have left countless rust marks on the aircraft carrier, and it can even be speculated how much effort the people living on the aircraft carrier have spent in order to prevent the aircraft carrier from entering water due to rust perforations.
Poole, who has been living in the shelter, naturally opened his mouth in surprise, marveling at such a huge metal monster, while other people who have seen similar things in the biochemical world have no expression at all... For them, the middle is down. The nuclear bomb town, where the residents still live calmly with a nuclear bomb inserted, has more visual impact!
Climb up a three-storey building with only the skeleton and the floor hanging on the signboard of "Rivet City". After the initial questioning by the communication equipment, the Rivet City side will turn a suspension bridge 90 degrees and swing it over. They were finally able to enter the City of Rivets only after the iron drawbridge approached the armed security guards who were responsible for scrutinizing their intentions to come to the City of Rivets.
When you get to the city, there is no need to act together, everyone disbands on the spot—
"Boss, why do you only have these bottle caps and ammunition, I still take back some of them and sell them elsewhere..." Poole is going to the laboratory to find traces of his father. Leon and Ada are also interested in the science laboratory in another world. Following the past, Krausa wandered around to see another world... In the end, it was Liz, the captain, who was in charge of the team's operations.
Okay, you are uncles, so don't blame the captain for taking all the good equipment for himself first, the authority dog is just like that.
"Who knew that you had so many weapons..." The weapons dealer in Rivet City said depressedly, and the price was a little more aggressive when he knew it earlier.
"We killed all the way from Nuke Town, and the weapons of the bandits and super mutants we encountered along the way are naturally in our hands." If it weren't for the wasteland masters to use the same type of guns to repair and improve the stability, maybe take them out now More weapons will be sold.
"Haha, it's murderous~" The weapon dealer said with a dry smile. He didn't know if he was a black-hearted boss who likes to play the trick of killing people and stealing goods. Anyway, after Liz said this, he would definitely not think about going back and sending someone to grab Liz's bottle caps. , "... Forget it, I can only take out the precious weapons from my shop and come out for emergency."
"If you want to drive up the price with this kind of thing you say several times a day, you might as well say it's a 'family heirloom'~"
"Can't you not break me..." Opposite Ya's eloquence and trading skills are too high, and she has to suppress the quotation in her heart. It's really hard... Of course, this transaction will definitely make a lot of money, but it will be less. Can't you say it's tough!
"...A sniper rifle, it's a pity it's not well maintained..." The "rare weapons" that the weapons dealer and his subordinates took out were actually better. It's just that assault rifles and combat shotguns are already available, flamethrower devices are unattractive, and missile launchers can be staged here, but they don't sell missiles...
"I want this sniper rifle, and the bullets are also packaged, but your price seems to be a little worse..."
"Three needles, no more!"
"It's still a little short... If a professional like an arms dealer can answer some questions, then it's no problem to complete the transaction like this..." In fact, I wanted to ask him about this question from the beginning, but I always thought that I would ask him straight to the point. Being ripped off by the people of this world.
"What's the problem?" Obviously, the weapon dealer in Rivet City was very happy to hear that the deal could be completed by answering the question, so he went back to repair it and sold it.
"It's nothing, it's just that as a foreign tourist, I don't know the advanced equipment on this wasteland. Now I only know that the armor is the most powerful power armor of the Enclave." After a pause, observing the reaction of the weapons dealer confirmed that this came from the Brotherhood The accuracy of the news, "But I don't know much about long-range weapons and melee weapons. Let me ask you... Oh, of course, what kind of heavy weapons such as nuclear bomb launchers, RPGs, and multiple machine guns are not to be mentioned."
"Oh, it's just this kind of thing~" The other party didn't care at all when he heard such a simple question.
"In terms of long-range, it must be the Brotherhood of Steel's laser weapon and the Enclave's plasma weapon. I personally prefer the more powerful plasma weapon... But to say the king of long-range weapons, it must be the Enclave's Gauss rifle. It’s also worth the cost of power consumption.”
"...There are Gauss rifles in this world." Liz pondered. For Leon and the others, "Gauss rifle" is a term that has never appeared before. For Liz, "Gauss rifle" is one of the "common sense" of crossing the world. The principle can be guessed.
"As for melee weapons, I don't really understand," because I'm a ranged weapon seller, "but the Brotherhood and the Enclave's Power Gloves and Super Power Hammers sound awesome, don't they? Besides that... ah , the flaming knife and the rumored General Jingwei sword are also excellent for close combat."
"Flaming knife? Sounds cool!"
"I've seen this before, but what should I say... The cool thing is just the flame effect, the real shape, it's actually just a tattered iron blade with a gas jet controlled by a faucet valve at the handle..."
"This is too frustrating!?" Especially the faucet valve, which made Liz unacceptable.
"I haven't said that this weapon can't be used for too long, because the handle has poor thermal insulation..." As a gun seller, he expressed his pride, at least the flamethrower does not have this problem. "The general Jingwei sword has a rumored shape. It's also very beautiful, but no one has ever gotten the real thing~"
"General Jingwei sword... I see, a good deal~" Stuffing bottle caps, ammunition, sniper rifles and healing needles into his backpack, Liz smiled and thanked him before turning and leaving.
"Oh, come back next time... Wait, why should I welcome him at such a low price?" You don't understand the attack power boss of Charisma 10.
Regardless of the situation on the boss's side, Liz, who had lightly emptied his backpack, raised his left hand and operated Pip-Boy in a good mood.
"Gauss Rifle, General Jingwei Sword, Super Power Hammer, Gauss Rifle, General Jingwei Sword, Super Power Hammer, Gauss Rifle, General Jingwei Sword, Super Power Hammer..."
Then…
"Hehe, they can't play games when they split up, this is the real usage of the system~"
Liz's Pip-Boy has three more quests and a lot of quest locations (because the weapon's starting location is not unique).
