Fallout 4: The Wasteland Life of a Pillager

Chapter 423 An Ordinary Day (1)

On the other side, in an unknown abandoned subway station somewhere in Mojave.

After the Neptune incident, Yi Beiwang waited for a full ten days before he received news from the Dragon Country's zombie army. After learning of their temporary base, he rushed here without stopping.

When he entered the subway station, he saw at least hundreds of Dragon Country soldiers active there.

Each of them was wearing the same equipment, a Gauss rifle and stealth armor, and now they seemed to be sorting their equipment and replenishing their ammunition.

Many soldiers also gathered around the burning abandoned oil drums, happily roasting potatoes and chatting, while some people gathered in a corner to adjust a radio.

Because they were all corroded by radiation and turned into zombies, everyone's face was burned, and their eyes were red and bloody, like evil spirits wandering in hell.

But in Yi Beiwang's eyes, they looked extremely kind, as if there were stars shining in their eyes.

After seeing Yi Beiwang coming in, the soldiers also looked at him, as if they had not seen such a normal Dragon citizen for a long time.

Yi Beiwang was no longer the naive rookie he used to be. He was not as excited as he was when he first met Captain Zhao. He just nodded and greeted everyone and saluted everyone.

God knows what hardships these soldiers have gone through to be able to live in the crisis-ridden West Coast for such a long time. If he wasn't afraid of disturbing them from doing their work, Yi Beiwang would have wanted to give them a shoulder massage and a back rub.

At this time, Liao Sanmin came over and said with a smile: "Comrade, welcome to our temporary camp. We have only been stationed here for a short time. The conditions are a bit difficult. Please bear with us."

Yi Beiwang didn't want to be looked down upon by these seniors, so he said, "I've been poor and downtrodden before, and I've suffered even more. It doesn't matter."

"Um... Um, have you eaten?"

Oh shit, I have absolutely no idea what to ask.

The main reason is that Yi Beiwang hasn't seen his fellow countrymen from Longguo for a long time. He usually either paints big pictures for his subordinates, or flatters the big guys, or uses rhetoric and taunts to the enemies. Obviously, these words cannot be used in the current scenario.

Liao Sanmin noticed his nervousness and comforted him, "Don't be nervous, we are eating well and full, thanks to your help."

"It just so happens that the battalion commander wants to see you, come with me."

Liao Sanmin took Yi Beiwang through the crowd and walked into the equipment room of the subway station.

This place has been converted into an office. On the wall hangs a slightly old but still dazzling five-star red flag, and next to it is a hand-drawn Mojave map.

There was only an old ghost soldier in the office, wearing a lieutenant colonel's uniform, who was looking at the map on the wall and thinking about something.

After seeing Yi Beiwang coming in, he seemed to have seen something unbelievable. He slowly walked over, stretched out his hand and asked, "Hello, comrade, we finally meet today."

"I am the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the West Coast Task Force of the Dragon Nation's North American Vanguard Army. My name is Jiang Jingwei. You can call me Battalion Commander Jiang or Lao Jiang."

"Excuse me, have we met somewhere before?"

Huh? It seems like a lot of people have said they've seen me recently. Am I that famous?

Yi Beiwang took a deep breath, shook Jiang Jingwei's hand solemnly, and said, "No, this is the first time I see you today. I'm so excited that I don't know what to say."

"Comrade, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Tell me, has the Dragon Country been rebuilt and contacted you? Do you need me to lead the way? I'm familiar with the Mojave area."

After hearing this, Jiang Jingwei smiled bitterly, as if he had heard some far-fetched joke, and put what had just happened behind him.

Liao Sanmin replied on his behalf: "When the Dragon Kingdom is rebuilt, please contact us... We have been looking forward to it for two hundred years, but it is a pity that it has never come."

"But we believe that the Dragon Kingdom must still be standing strong, but the domestic situation is also very bad, and they can't spare the time and energy to support us."

"To be honest, we initially thought you were an agent sent by the Dragon Nation. Now it seems that you are just like us, a wanderer without a home."

So, we all have homes that we can’t return to.

The only difference is that these soldiers’ homes should have been shattered by the baptism of two hundred years, while my own home... was probably blown to pieces by a computer.

A trace of sadness flashed across Yi Beiwang's eyes. It was already a lot of effort for him to contact the Federation. If he wanted to contact Long Country again... it might take him three to five years to do it.

But would it be faster if we had the help of these veterans?

We are all in this world together, and if we help each other, we can live a better life.

But before that, I would also like to know how these soldiers got here.

Thinking of this, Yi Beiwang calmed down and asked, "Can you tell me how the First Task Force came to the West Coast?"

Liao Sanmin glanced at Jiang Jingwei, and after receiving his eye signal, he told the story of the First Task Force Battalion.

More than two hundred years ago, the world's energy was running out. Although nuclear energy technology had made great breakthroughs, fossil fuels such as oil and coal could not be replaced.

At that time, the United States also carried out various harassment and blockades on Longguo, hoping to weaken Longguo little by little, and then wait for an opportunity to devour it.

Originally, Longguo had found the last large underwater oil field in the world. If they were given some more time, they would be able to find a future path for all mankind.

As a result, the United States directly blew up the oil field, which completely angered Longguo.

At that time, the Long government no longer tolerated and decided to strike hard, sending hundreds of troops, large and small, to land in Alaska, U.S. to fight.

The Americans at that time were no pushovers. They set up a tight network in Alaska and fought with the Dragon Army. The battle was fierce and both sides suffered heavy losses. It is known in history as the Battle of Anchorage.

It’s a pity that Longguo was forced to retreat due to lack of fuel and had to negotiate with the United States.

No one knew what the content of the negotiations was at the time. The First Task Force simply sneaked into the West Coast during the negotiations, ready to blow up the Hoover Dam and deal a heavy blow to the Americans.

As a result, not long after they landed on the US mainland, an even heavier blow came. On October 2077, 10, a nuclear war broke out without warning.

The overwhelming nuclear bombs destroyed all countries in the world and human civilization in a few hours. Two hundred years later, human civilization has not been rebuilt.

From that time on, the First Task Force lost contact with the Dragon Government and other troops, and was forced to wander the west coast for two hundred years.

During this period, they also encountered a stranded Dragon Country nuclear submarine force and helped them establish a gathering place, which gradually developed into the current Shi clan.

During the two hundred years of ups and downs, they have been constantly suffering from the erosion of radiation. The original 500-man Task Force 256st Battalion was killed or killed, and now there are only people left, and they have all turned into immortal zombies.

This time they came to Mojave just to investigate the situation here and try to obtain intelligence from various forces.

But he did not expect to meet a fellow Longguo here, who looked particularly young. The corpse ghost soldiers at that time did not act rashly, but carried out reconnaissance missions while secretly observing Yi Beiwang, and only now did they tentatively contact him.
