Fallout 4: The Wasteland Life of a Pillager

Chapter 453 Green Hell (6)

Outside Shelter No. 22, Elder Namara led his Brotherhood Knights to attack the shelter's explosion-proof door with all their might.

They tried hacking with knives, chiseling with axes, burning with fire, corroding with chemical reagents... None of these worked. Instead, they used terminals and Pip-Boys to hack into the shelter's defense system and tried to force the door open.

It’s a pity that the person who closed the door had obviously better skills than them. After they finally broke through one layer of firewall, dozens of more appeared in an instant.

The terminal was smoking, but the explosion-proof door of the shelter was still as solid as a rock and did not move at all.

Oliver, who was sitting not far away watching the show, laughed and said, "Don't waste your energy, you idiots. Most shelters were originally designed to study the people inside. They won't let them out easily."

"If the people inside can't get out, it will be even harder for the people outside to get in. It's useless."

Namara retorted: "That's better than doing nothing! They've only been out of contact for four hours. If we can open the exit quickly, maybe we can make it in time..."

"Got it. If hacking into the system doesn't work, we can dig through the wall! Concrete walls are definitely not as strong as blast-proof doors."

Oliver burst out laughing and pulled an NCR soldier and said, "Did you hear what he said? He actually wanted to dig up the wall of a building that had stood firm for two hundred years. His courage is commendable, but by the time he digs it up, the people inside will be dead."

"What a pity. Yi Beiwang was a talented person, but he died in vain. I am a little sad."

"Since he's dead, shouldn't his Yibei Merchants Group also be confiscated? Of course, I have no selfish motives at all. I just don't want to see the Yibei Merchants Group gradually decline."

When Oliver thought about how he could easily take over the entire eBay business group, he could hardly suppress the wild smile on his face. This overwhelming wealth finally fell on his head.

Just a few days ago, he figured out why Kimball arranged for Yi Beiwang to be the head of the logistics department. It was just to settle some bad debts.

With some insignificant power and soldiers, Yi Beiwang could be made to willingly give away equipment and supplies for free. Where can you find such a good thing?

As long as Yi Beiwang's death can be confirmed, his merchant group will sooner or later become his own...

But Colonel Xu poured cold water on him in time and said, "I don't think so. I dare say that everyone inside is dead, so he can't be dead."

"I checked the information from the NCR Science Department. The intelligence they sent back two years ago mentioned that the bottom floor of Shelter 22 is connected to a natural cave, and not far from the cave is the pre-war sewer."

"Let's go dig now. If we're lucky, we might be able to get in from the bottom and rescue them."

They acted right away. Colonel Xu and Namara hit it off and set out to dig a tunnel immediately. The other onlookers also wanted to join in the fun and followed with shovels and pickaxes, leaving Oliver alone, staring at everyone's backs.

…………

In the shelter, the scattered people all encountered troubles, but they were all caused by their bad teammates.

On the fifth floor, Boone and Rana stepped on a pile of corpses, counted the few remaining ammunition, and looked at Emily whose infection was getting worse.

At this time, Emily's whole body had turned green, but she did not turn into a super mutant. Instead, green mycelium grew out of her wounds and coiled around her body.

Normally, no one could survive in this situation, but Emily might have strong vitality and still retained consciousness. She pleaded weakly: "I... I can't go on. I don't want any more adventures, I don't want any more reputation, I want to go home..."

Emily cried with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of regret. If she was given another chance, she would never come to this damn place again, even if she was beaten to death.

Her beautiful face was ruined by the fungus, her curvy figure was covered with blood and pits, and she became no different from those monsters.

The residents of Shady City might have been soft-hearted, but Boone and Rana were both men who had experienced life and death, and it was already very merciful that they did not open fire on the spot.

Boone poked Emily with the sniper rifle and said, "Don't think about those things. You chose to step into this hell, so don't have any regrets."

Lana echoed, "That's right, now you have two choices, either we kill you now, or you continue to lead the way, your choice."

Emily lowered her head and clenched her fists, her eyes were bloodshot, and her confused mind began to wander, thinking that Boone and Lana had caused her so much trouble.

If they hadn't forced me to lead the way, I would have been hiding well now, and maybe I would have been rescued.

The more Emily thought about it, the angrier she became. Her heart was filled with rage. She stood up and walked forward, staggering with each step.

When they reached a corner, Emily burst out with all her strength and sprinted away at such a speed that even Boone and Lana could hardly catch up.

As she ran, she slapped the vines on the wall, successfully stimulating a group of dormant man-eating plants. They jumped out one after another and bit Boone and Lana, forcing them to keep dodging.

Emily laughed at this and said, "Go to hell, you idiots! Thank you for helping me clean up the first few floors. Now I can escape...Ah!!"

Before Emily could finish her taunting, she was bitten by a carnivorous plant and was torn in half. She died with endless hatred and regret.

It was a relief for her to die, but it was hard for Boone and Lana who were still struggling to survive.

"What the hell are we going to do now, bitch?"

Lana stood in the front and protected Boone tightly. The man-eating plants knocked against his power armor, causing him to have a headache.

Boone noticed a lot of bullet shells and marbles on the ground. Following these marbles, he saw a dark passage before him.

Boone immediately realized that this was the mark left by Yi Beiwang, and rushed in with Lana.

While running, he muttered: "This time we are in trouble. We have to meet up with Minister Yi quickly, otherwise we will all die here."

"Don't worry about Minister Yi. I have seen his abilities. Now I just hope that things go smoothly for Zhan Hu and Bayer. I just hope they haven't been tricked."

"How dare you cheat me? Stop right there!"

War Fox was chasing with a whip in his hand, and Wesker was running in front, just like a farmer chasing a defecting cotton worker.
