Zhang Heng has always felt that the college's approach and style are very similar to his own.
Zhang Heng has a clone army that violates human ethics, and the academy also has a synthetic human army.
Zhang Heng is unwilling to give clones emotions, believing that they will be more efficient without emotions, and the academy also likes to restrict the free consciousness of synthetic humans, fearing that thinking synthetic humans will rebel against him;
Zhang Heng silently researches various internationally banned biochemical weapons, never disregarding ethics and morals, and conducts human experiments on a large scale. The academy is also secretly conducting research and experiments on the FEV virus and developing large-scale weapons.
In short, Zhang Heng has been developing underground, silently implementing the strategic principle of "build walls high, accumulate food widely, and slowly become king". Just from the surface, Hengxing Technology is just an unknown pharmaceutical company with a little money. .
The same is true for the academy. It has been dormant in the wasteland for nearly two hundred years, with little contact with the outside world. It quietly develops the technology tree while others are fighting each other to death.
Although the Academy has long been notorious for its experiments on synthetics and human subjects, the most powerful force in the Federation is still the Academy.
However, although the academy was powerful in the past, it did not have overwhelming power, but now with Zhang Heng, it is no longer the case.
…
Carl Kroll is a scavenger in the Wasteland Federation.
The so-called scavenger is actually a job for the people at the bottom of the wasteland. He is weak and poor and has no skills. He can only pick up garbage in the wild and finally sell it to Diamond City in exchange for his own daily needs.
This is an extremely lowly and difficult job. The scavengers not only have to endure the danger of leukemia caused by the ubiquitous radiation in the earth, but they also have to be wary of various mutant monsters produced by radiation and be ready to escape at any time.
Even the colleagues around you need to be vigilant.
Many people were killed by jealous companions before they had time to choose bottle caps and food just because they picked up valuable items while scavenging!
Facing the radiation-filled land and turning their backs to the dusky sky, countless people were forced to work as scavengers, a profession at the lowest level in the wasteland world, because of their weakness, silently piecing together the fragments of civilization with their tiny hands.
Carl's life is already extremely difficult, but recently, there has been less and less garbage to pick up in Boston. In order to support themselves, many garbage pickers have to take great risks to leave the city and head towards the wild.
Today, Karl had no choice but to join the field scavenging team. He had not eaten a grain of rice or drank a sip of clean water for a whole day. Hunger and thirst tortured his nerves, and fatigue and weakness filled his body. .
In the scorching wilderness, Carl moved step by step towards the distance. Although he was extremely weak, Carl knew that he could not fall. In a hidden corner of Boston, his wife and three-month-old child were still waiting. Bring yourself clean water and food.
If I can't bring back food today, I'm afraid it will be difficult for my weak wife and young children to survive the night...
With a flash of determination in his eyes, Karl held a piece of debris of unknown material in his hand - this was his only profit today. He had to protect this item tightly and sell it to Diamond City before his peers noticed it. In the grocery store, and with the hypocritical smile of the grocery store owner, he accepted the pitiful payment or food, and then gave it to his wife and children...
That stingy grocery store owner was a curse that he could not escape from throughout his life.
However, when he was walking in the suburbs, he actually saw from a distance that a huge town had risen out of thin air in the once deserted suburbs!
Yes, Carl could swear that although he was dizzy with hunger, he had not yet had hallucinations. He did see that in the outer suburbs of Boston, a huge town that was no less than Diamond City suddenly appeared!
A flash of expectation suddenly flashed in Carl's eyes. Generally speaking, this kind of newly built town requires a lot of manpower. If he can be valued by the town manager, he will be given a set of power armor and become a leader. If he is a powerful warrior, then he will not be as weak as he is today!
In this wasteland world where the jungle eats the strong, weakness is the greatest original sin!
Although he knew that this was just an unrealistic extravagance, Karl decided to give it a try. Even if he could not become a soldier, he could still barely feed his family by getting a chore in the newly built town. After all, this kind of scavenging career is hopeless. If he doesn't change his job as soon as possible, even if he survives today, he will die in the wild one day in the future. Carl has had enough of this precarious life.
A glimmer of hope flashed in Carl's eyes. He didn't know where the strength came from, and he changed direction and walked towards the newly appeared town. In his eyes, this town was the hope of his life!
After walking for more than ten minutes, Karl's remaining energy was almost exhausted. Finally, he reached the town. Only then did he see that this town was many times more beautiful than Diamond City, known as the Pearl of Boston!
Karl could swear that he had never seen such a luxurious town. The outermost wall alone was made of an unknown metal and was dozens of meters high!
This metal is smooth and shiny, cold to the touch, and absolutely worth a lot of money. Each piece looks like it can be exchanged for dozens of kilograms of rye bread! But here, all the extravagance is used to build the town wall!
Karl couldn't help but swallow, with hope shining in his eyes, he moved step by step to the gate of the town. At this time, he was surprised to find that the gate of the town was even more luxurious. It was covered with dark blue paint. Various complex gears and machinery were inlaid on the gate like beautiful works of art. It was as smooth as new and thicker. It's amazing. I'm afraid even the power armor of those guys from the Brotherhood can't penetrate this kind of door!
At the gate, there were four soldiers wearing power armor standing in front of the door. This kind of power armor was of a shape that Karl had never seen before. It was neither the T51B model of the Brotherhood of Steel nor the T45D model of the Volkswagen, but a Gundam Two and a half meters tall, with high-grade black armor all over his body!
This kind of armor outstrips the Brotherhood's T51B just by its appearance, not to mention its huge size and newness. Although the performance is not clear, Carl can swear that this armor is definitely better than him. It's the most advanced armor I've ever seen!
However, after seeing the high-altitude mecha warriors, Carl couldn't help but feel a flash of fear. In his opinion, armored warriors all have very bad tempers. Even if someone like him passes by them, they will make them unhappy. At least they will give them a good beating, and at worst, they will cut off their own heads.
This is true for several of my fellow scavengers.
However, the hope of life gave him courage again. Karl gritted his teeth and slowly walked forward. At the same time, he showed a smile that was uglier than crying, with the intention of pleasing:
"Dear warrior master, please allow me to disturb you for a moment. I want to enter this noble town, oh! Praise God, it is as beautiful and neat as the legendary paradise. Can I, the humble one, go in and appreciate its beauty? Brilliant and magnificent style?”
Karl looked longingly at the motionless warrior in front of him, his heart pounding, wondering whether he would run away or wait for the opponent to vent if the opponent beat him. If he was injured or had his bones broken, in the apocalypse, what would happen to him? Sowing the fate is basically tantamount to pronouncing one's own death.
However, the expected beating or rejection did not come. Karl only saw one of the armored warriors turn his head, look at himself a few times, and then said in a tone with almost no emotion, "You can enter, but before entering Before, we need to search the body."
Although he couldn't see the expression of the warrior who answered him, Karl was sure that the other party must be in a very good mood. He nodded excitedly, "Okay, okay! Dear warrior, please feel free to check my body. I promise not to bring any weapons!" As he said that, he quickly opened up his clothes, which were almost in tatters, and turned around in front of the other party.
However, the opponent's huge palm pressed directly on his shoulder. Karl was shocked. He was just about to hold his head and bear the opponent's beating, but he found that a red light shot out from in front of the opponent and scanned his body. After a while.
"No dangerous weapons found, entry allowed." After the scan, the other party said this.
"Huh!" The expected beating did not come, and Karl was relieved. He glanced gratefully at the four soldiers at the door, showed a friendly smile, and then continued to move, walking into the town with excitement. .
