It was getting very late when we drove back.
After nightfall, the number of guards at the elk gathering area also increased a lot. When Su Ziyu looked up, he could see two soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor. One of them had a special spray paint on his chest, which seemed to be the symbol of a brown bear.
The car was stopped before it even got close to the gate.
"Death Claw?!" The sergeant with the spray paint on his chest came over, reached out and took off his hood, looked at the huge and ferocious head of the Death Claw with a shocked expression, and reached out to touch the slightly missing horns on the head. , said in surprise: "That's right! It's the one near the camp!"
"This wound was caused by the RPG explosion!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Su Ziyu in the driver's seat, looked up and down and said, "Wild Hunter?"
"Yes." Su Ziyu asked directly: "Can you let us in?"
"We haven't had dinner yet."
The sergeant raised his hand in a letting go gesture, and then said to Su Ziyu: "Are you interested in joining our patrol team? You can get a salary of more than 300 bottle caps a month!"
"There are other subsidies!"
Su Ziyu shook his head and said, "I prefer to be more free."
The sergeant looked a little pity and said, "Whenever you want to settle down, you can consider joining us. We need veterans like you."
The SUV quickly drove in.
"Fuck!"
"It's the Deathclaw!"
"It was killed? Who did it? A wilderness hunter from outside? A master!"
"What?"
"You just took the mission today? Are you coming back tonight?"
For a time, the entire elk gathering place became lively, many people came out of the houses, and some people looked out from the bar.
"I won!"
"No one hit me! Haha!" Jiese laughed and said while holding a wine bottle.
This great monk just opened a handicap in the bar today. He placed bets on whether Su Ziyu can kill the claws of death. If he can kill it, when will he come back? Many people are too nervous to go. When it comes to returning, part of the pressure is to come back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. There is almost no pressure to come back today.
Jiese was laughing happily, but at this moment a deep male voice said: "I hit the target."
"50 bottle caps, the odds are ten to one."
A slightly charming female voice from the side also came, joking: "Monk, I am also pressing 20 bottle caps today."
Jiese's laughter froze for a moment. He turned his head and looked behind him, and saw Max, the owner of the tavern, and the bunny girl standing next to him. He was a little surprised and said: "Is today what you are stressing about? I see look!"
Damn it.
Jiese's face instantly became a bit ugly, and he said with a sad face: "It's true! I drank too much! I was happy for nothing!"
The two people directly split half of the proceeds.
Max smiled and patted Jiese on the shoulder and said, "A master like him will either come back today or miss."
"Let's go."
"Let's go get his bounty."
Many yellow faces appeared. There were many people from Chinatown in the elk gathering place. They all looked at Su Ziyu curiously and talked about it: "Where does this master come from? He looks like a Chinese! Wilderness Hunter ?"
The Chinese still love to watch the excitement as always.
"Give it! Give it!" Jie Se pushed away the crowd and walked over. He reached out and knocked down the Death Claw head on the roof of the car. He looked at Su Ziyu and smiled and said, "I knew you could do it!"
"Good guy. It's heavy enough."
Su Ziyu opened the car door with a smile and walked out. He saw Old Bob at the door of the bar not far away. He was raising a glass to him with a slightly flattering expression. Su Ziyu also smiled and nodded.
Paul also came with some people.
The members of his team of scavengers were looking at Su Ziyu in shock, giving a thumbs up and saying: "Awesome!"
"Master!"
At this time, the little girl walked behind Su Ziyu, stood up on her toes and lowered her voice: "Don't give me the reward directly for a while."
"I got the money, I'll share it with you later."
The situation now is a bit of a mixed bag.
Many people came out to watch. The little girl was quite cautious, fearing that taking money at this time would cause unnecessary trouble. Although three hundred bottle caps are not very much, the residents of the Wasteland Era did not have much money. They still inherited the European and American traditions of the old world and could not save any wealth at all. This money could easily attract some unhappiness. People with good intentions.
These people may not dare to trouble Su Ziyu, but a little girl like Maddie might be noticed.
"Yeah." Su Ziyu nodded slightly. Feeling that her ears were itching, she stretched out her hand to push her head away.
soon.
Max came over carrying a big bag. He reached out and patted Death Claw on the head, smiling and saying, "This is your bounty. Are you interested in completing another mission?"
"With your skills, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with the Mire Crab Queen."
Su Ziyu shook his head and said, "Let's do it another day."
"New Year approached."
"We'll have a rest for two days."
Max smiled, and the bunny girl standing next to him gave Su Ziyu a wink and said, "Come and have a drink when you have time! My treat!"
There was another roar of laughter all around.
The bunny girl didn't care at all, and said to those who made fun of her: "Get out! If you are so good-looking and can kill the claws of death, what does it mean if I buy you a drink? You can do whatever you want!"
It feels like someone is driving.
Su Ziyu didn't answer. He directly reached out to take the money bag and said to Jiese next to him: "Take me to find a place to live."
Jiese smiled and said, "Stay at my place."
"I still have a room available, and the hotels here aren't that good either."
That's ok too.
A group of onlookers were still looking at the Death Claw's head, marveling at it. Many people rarely left the gathering place on weekdays. Those who were willing to go out and take risks were the braver ones. This was the first time for many people to see it. to Deathclaw.
The monk's residence is in the Chinese Quarter.
There are about two thousand Chinese in the Elk gathering place, and most of them are from the Chinatown gathering place. Mattie’s residence is right next to the Chinese district. Compared with the gathering places of other races, a little girl like her lives in the Chinese district. It's much safer next to. Before leaving, Su Ziyu gave her her share of the reward. The little girl happily took the money and said to Su Ziyu: "Do you want to kill the Mire Crab Queen? I'm quite familiar with that place too. !”
"Forehead."
"This time you and I will give you 100 bottle caps."
Ouch.
The price actually dropped.
Su Ziyu smiled and rubbed her head and said, "Okay."
"Then it's settled!" The little girl looked very happy, pushed his hand away, tidied her hair, and said, "Then I'll go back first."
Many strange Chinese people were greeting Su Ziyu.
He didn't know him either, so he could only give a slight nod. Jingse could talk to anyone, and he even picked up a business on the way. Someone passed away, and he would go over to recite sutras for a while tomorrow.
Huh
Su Ziyu suddenly frowned as he walked. He gently bumped Jie Se next to him with his arm and whispered, "Who are those two people?"
There were two tough-looking white men on the second floor not far away.
"I don't know." Jiese whispered, "I've been staying in a hotel in the Chinese district for several days, and I don't know where I came from."
Su Ziyu nodded slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
When the two people were lying on the window looking at him just now, Su Ziyu saw the logo on their wrists. It was a strange triangle shape, but half of it was crossed out.
-"fraternity."
The symbol was a little different from the fraternity logo in my memory, but those two people should be members of the fraternity.
On the hotel.
A rather sturdy man held a cigar in his mouth and said, "Do you think that man looks familiar?"
"No." The young man next to him lazily leaned against the wall and said, "In my opinion, all Chinese people look the same."
"We've wasted two days."
"The mission target hasn't been found yet! Are we just going to stay in the hotel every day?"
The man smoking a cigar stood up, picked up a pen, and quickly drew a sketch of Su Ziyu on a piece of paper. It looked 70% or 80% similar. He did not look back and said in a deep voice: "From the academy." People are nearby too.”
"Don't act rashly!"
"The two of us may not be able to deal with those bionic transformations!"
The young man reached out and took out a dagger to play with. He looked at the sketch and said, "Do you think those people in the academy are crazy? Why do they still study the mutant technology of the old era?"
"I don't know." The sturdy man frowned at the sketch in front of him and said solemnly: "Mutant technology is the super soldier plan of the old era."
"It is said to be resistant to radiation distortion."
"But those mutants who were created are all brainless butchers and have no ability to reproduce. The superiors are sending people to inquire about the academy. It is said that they have successfully created a perfect mutant who is completely immune to radiation pollution. At the same time, He still retains the wisdom of a normal person.”
"The top management is also quite divided now."
“Some people believe that bionic technology should be promoted and humans enter the era of mechanical bionics.”
"Other people believe that flesh and blood should not be given up. There should be other ways to resist the contamination of radiation distortion."
"This kind of big thing is not something we two little people can control."
"This is related to the future direction of mankind."
Having said this, he picked up the sketch and looked at it carefully for a while, and whispered: "It really feels familiar. I should have seen pictures of this person before."
"Bring the transmission equipment here."
"Let's send his appearance back to the branch to check. This person should be very special."
The young man next to him also came over, looked carefully for a while, frowned and thought, "Is he the person marked in the database? I have no impression at all!"
"I don't know. Let them check." The man said solemnly.
Abode of abstinence.
As soon as Su Ziyu entered the door, he saw a Buddha statue, but the Buddha statue was not holding a magical weapon, but a six-barreled Gatling heavy machine gun. Jiese walked up and worshiped devoutly, and then gave the Buddha statue Three incense sticks were lit.
He turned around and said with a smile: "Sit wherever you want."
"We'll eat soon."
At this time, a woman's voice came, rather hoarse: "You're back? The meal will be ready soon."
Three younger children came out.
One white man and two Chinese men looked at Su Ziyu curiously. Then a woman in her forties came out. She was a white woman. When she saw Su Ziyu, she quickly covered her face with her hands. face, but Su Ziyu could still see her appearance clearly. There were obvious traces of radiation distortion on the other party's face. Half of her face was drooping as if her face was paralyzed. There were some blue spots on her exposed arms, which must have been exposed to radiation pollution. I didn't get timely treatment.
"These children are orphans."
"Follow me for a while and make a living. When they reach the age of sixteen, let them go out to make a living on their own." The monk sat down calmly and pointed at the children.
Although he adopted these children, he did not treat them as adopted children.
These kids are slightly afraid of him.
The woman brought some food over, and then took some food and sat at another table.
"sit."
"Would you like some wine?" The monk smiled.
Su Ziyu shook his head and said, "No need. Just eat whatever you want."
After saying that, the mechanical watch on his wrist passed over the food. It was very good. The degree of pollution was extremely low. It should be related to the purified drinking water. Many of the foods here are grown and raised by ourselves. The degree of pollution is lower than that outside. Much lower. In the wasteland era, the game hunted in the wilderness was cheap, and the real expensive ones were the artificially raised livestock.
The taste is average.
The monk had a good appetite. He ate meat, drank wine, and lit a cigarette. Seeing that Su Ziyu didn't eat much, he gave a large piece of meat to the children and whispered: "Eat quickly."
"After dinner, go to Old Bob's. He should have a lot of work these two days."
Jiese sat down again, pointed at the children and said: "They are learning from old Bob. They have some skills and will not starve to death in the future."
Education in the wasteland era is a big problem.
These low-level orphans have no chance to learn knowledge. It would be great to learn some practical skills.
Had a meal.
Jiese took off one of his arms and came to a machine tool. He was holding his mechanical prosthesis in one hand and was doing simple maintenance and repairs. As if he noticed Su Ziyu's gaze, he grinned. Said: "There is no way. Mechanical prostheses are not as good as bionic prostheses. If they are not maintained regularly, they will fall apart at critical moments and they will be dead."
Su Ziyu watched curiously as he fiddled with his mechanical prosthesis.
Compared with the first time he came here, the technology of mechanical prosthetics in the Wasteland Era has been greatly improved at this time. It should be that a lot of the mechanical transformation technology of that year has been spread, but I don’t know why bionic technology has not become popular at all. .
Perhaps due to the limitation of productivity in this era, the cost of mechanical modification is obviously cheaper.
