Fallout 4: The Wasteland Life of a Pillager

Chapter 420 An Ordinary Day (1)

Ten days later.

A reporter from Shayin City came all the way to Mojave with a photographer, just to interview the legendary eBay business group in person.

According to Colonel Xu who wishes to remain anonymous, as a new merchant group, the eBay Merchant Group is extremely powerful. Its leader has very good relations with Mojave legends such as the Postman, has ambiguous ties with major forces such as NCR House, and even dares to slap the Crimson Merchant Group in the face.

Regarding Yi Beiwang's attack on the Crimson branch, the Crimson headquarters said that they had many more important things to do, and this childish matter could be left to the person in charge in Mojave to handle.

At the same time, a large amount of supplies were secretly transferred to Mojave, as if to support the branch there.

There are rumors that Yi Beiwang is a genius who suddenly emerged from the Shi clan, but the Shi clan did not respond to this matter because they had never heard of such a person as Yi Beiwang.

Some people also said that Yi Beiwang was a senior agent from Longguo, who came to the West Coast to investigate the situation here so that Longguo could completely occupy the United States.

Of course, the most outrageous statement is that Yi Beiwang is not from this world. After all, many people have investigated him, but have not been able to find his specific origins. They only know that he suddenly appeared in Mohaveli half a year ago.

Since the eBay Merchants Group became famous, many people from other regions have come to Mojave, believing that there are many opportunities waiting for them to explore in this land.

Many people live well under the protection of their parents, and have not even experienced the beatings of the cruel wasteland. They come to this land of death with a yearning for wealth, fame and gain.

Liz, a reporter from Shady Shade City, is one of them. She realizes that this may be big news, so she comes to Mojave despite the dissuasion of her family and friends, just to get first-hand information.

At this moment, she was standing outside Neptune, which was under renovation and reconstruction, holding a recording device in her hand, and said to the camera: "Welcome to the Shady City Times, I am reporter Liz."

"Everyone has always been very repulsive and disgusted with this barren land of Mojave, especially when President Kimball raised taxes and continued to invest here, everyone complained a lot."

"And even barren land can produce bright flowers. Just a few days ago, a hero who wiped out a large number of plunderers appeared here. Interestingly, he is actually a Dragon Countryman."

"The Dragon people came here from afar to rescue the Americans. What is going on? Follow our camera to see it together!"

After Liz finished reading the words, she was about to go into Neptune with the photographer to look for Elbewang. Before she took two steps, she saw a roadblock outside Neptune. There were many cabinets next to it, and a group of children with metal detectors were playing not far from the cabinets.

They were just carefully exploring the ground beneath their feet, occasionally digging out some bullet shells and putting them in their pockets, with lollipops in their mouths.

Seeing Liz and the others coming, the children quickly blocked the road. They took out pistols from their arms, held up metal detectors and said, "The toll is ten bottle caps. If you want to go in, go to the locker and hand in your weapons. It is forbidden to carry any weapons in Neptune. Please cooperate."

"Don't do anything bad. There are a lot of people in Neptune. You must think carefully before doing anything."

After saying that, he pointed to a few glowing zombies hanging on a street lamp in the distance. Anyone who caused trouble here would be hung up and used as a street lamp.

Seeing the children speaking the memorized lines skillfully, it was obvious that they had said them many times. Liz thought it was quite interesting, so she took out the bottle caps she had exchanged in advance and handed them over, asking, "Hello, I'm a reporter from Shayin City. I want to meet the leader of the Yibei Merchant Group. Where is he?"

"Our leader is very busy right now and has no time to meet with reporters, but he said that if any reporters want to come and see him, he can take you around Neptune first."

"Really? Is eBay Business Group so good?"

"The guide fee is fifty bottle caps, thank you."

"…Okay, what's your name?"

"Just call me Chris. I'll be your guide."

Liz handed over the bottle cap obediently and followed Chris into Neptune.

Since the location occupied by Neptune was relatively close to major thoroughfares, it was classified as a commercial settlement by the eBay Merchants Group, replacing Novak, which was then transformed into a settlement for scientific research and development.

The buildings in the town look very dilapidated, but people are working hard to rebuild, renovate and paint them to make this place more perfect.

At this time, there were many adventurers and businessmen from other places in Neptune. They lamented that the development here was very good, and asked around for ways to quickly get ahead.

In response to this, members of the business group will kindly trick them into bringing people back, and if they bring enough people to consume, they can get certain commissions and benefits.

Although the journey is long, there are always people who are not afraid of death and are lured here to add a little vitality to the decaying Mojave.

While observing, Liz also noticed that there were many children like Chris who were making money everywhere. In their spare time, they would sit in the shade, order a glass of iced Coke, and read books while drinking it.

She asked the cameraman to capture the details and asked Chris, "Why are you working so hard to make money? Do you owe money?"

Chris rolled his eyes at Liz and replied, "The merchant group doesn't keep idle people. Everyone will have their own position."

"Mr. Mist, the second-in-command of the merchant group, is a cripple. Ms. Valkyrie, who trains the warriors, can't even stand up, but they were still thrown into positions suitable for them by the leader."

"And the leader said that if we don't make money quickly while there are so many people, we may not have this opportunity in the future. Then we will all have to eat potatoes together."

As he spoke, Chris took out a baked potato from his pocket and gave it to Liz to taste.

Liz grew up in Shayin City, a city that was recovering production and construction. The worst thing she ate was freshly baked oatmeal and toast. She had no appetite for the slightly mushy potatoes.

She saw that the children were reading and changed the subject: "So what are you reading? Comic books?"

Chris replied: "No, they are just dictionaries and math books. The leader said that knowledge changes destiny."

"The leader also said that in this damn wasteland, anyone could betray you, but knowledge won't, because if they can't, they won't."

At this time, there was a noise coming from the front, and many people gathered over to watch something.

Liz and Chris also walked over and found Regis and Chance from the former Khan Gang shouting hard.
