Chapter 339 Daily Life at the Base (1)
Two days later.
Yi Beiwang, the Postman, No. 9, Lana and the members of the assault team returned to the base camp of the launch base together.
Why two days later? Because Yi Beiwang was busy with social events during those two days.
A benevolent and powerful merchant group has settled in Liberty City with great force, making all the forces here smile.
They took turns and sent many people to try to get Yi Beiwang drunk in order to reach some ulterior py deal.
Unfortunately, dozens of people took turns to get Yi Beiwang drunk, but none of them succeeded. Instead, Yi Beiwang sold them hangover medicine.
After a contest of eloquence and charm, Yi Beiwang reached a friendly cooperative relationship with several major forces in Liberty City.
If the postman hadn't been in a hurry to go back to see Cass, Yi Beiwang would probably have continued drinking with them for another three days and three nights.
The only thing worth noting is that no one knows where Carlos has gone these past two days.
Yi Beiwang knew intuitively that this guy was up to no good, but at the moment, maintaining a balance of power among all parties in Liberty City was the most important thing, so he was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Before leaving, he specifically instructed the members of the merchant group to try every possible means to deceive the Jianqi Gang and work hard to weaken their strength.
He also gave a lot of hairspray to the street thugs of Elvis Gang, asking them to help protect the caravan in secret.
As long as his own people are safe, Yi Beiwang is too lazy to care too much about other people.
I've made so many preparations, so there won't be any accidents...right?
After settling matters in Liberty City, the group returned to the gathering place they had not seen for a long time. The postman went ahead and went to visit Cass with the health products for pregnant women given to him by Yi Beiwang.
Yi Beiwang put his arms around No. 9 and Lana's necks and proudly introduced to them Novak, who was undergoing reconstruction and repair.
"Look, this is Novak. Previously, this place was invaded by the Devil Gang. We stepped forward and saved them from the dire situation. Then, this place naturally became my territory."
"I plan to turn this place into a commercial town after it is renovated to provide supplies and shelter for the caravans passing by."
"Even though Novak is a bit screwed up now, everything will be fine in the future."
At this point, Yi Beiwang called a businessman who was about to go on a business trip and said, "Introduce to them what special products our Yibei Merchant Group has."
The businessman thought for a moment, then counted on his fingers and said, "There are potatoes that have just been unearthed and potatoes that have just come out of the pot, potato pancakes, potato wine, mashed potatoes, and even potato mines, etc."
"Chief, would you like a baked potato?"
As he spoke, the businessman took out a baked potato from his trouser pocket and handed it to Yi Beiwang.
Number Nine, Rana: ...
So this is a potato town?
Yi Beiwang was also a little embarrassed and asked, "Did we only plant potatoes? Is this the only crop that has matured?"
"Of course not, there are other crops ripening."
The businessman took out another baked potato from his trouser pocket. It was a variant of the potato that Yi Beiwang loved to grow. The difference between it and other potatoes was that the fruit did not grow in the soil.
Yi Beiwang sighed, waved his hand and told the businessman to do what he was supposed to do, then said to No. 9 and Lana: "You all saw that Novak's current situation is a bit difficult to describe. I need the assistance of talented people."
"Number Nine, you can help look after the place first and escort the caravan. Then go back and say hello to the caravan members and ask them to help you find your family."
Number Nine nodded, feeling that this arrangement was the best, as it would allow him to find his family and provide for himself at the same time.
Afterwards, he received a set of armor and a firearm, and faithfully guarded Yi Beiwang.
Yi Beiwang turned around and said to Lana, "Lana, don't show me the four ways to repair the power armor yet. There are bird helicopters and rockets in the launch base. See if you can repair them."
When Lana heard that there were Vertibird helicopters and rockets here, he instantly stopped being depressed and jumped up and down to try them out, and ran into Mist who came over to report the situation.
I don't know why, but as soon as the two of them met, they showed each other unfriendly expressions, as if they were born to dislike each other.
Lana was in a hurry to touch the bird and the rocket and didn't pay attention to this matter. Mist walked up to Yi Beiwang and asked, "Boss, where did you pick up this person from? Why does he look so uncomfortable?"
Yi Beiwang waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Why do you care whether he likes it or not? As long as it can be used, that's all."
"Nothing big happened at home these two days, right?"
Mist nodded and said, "Yes, boss, you know I used to be a member of NCR. I was very brave back then, until I was shot in the knee."
"NCR has a camp not far from the casino area, called Camp McCarran. They sent a letter inviting you to come over for an exchange. What do you think we should do?"
Yi Beiwang shook his head and said, "No, I just came back from Liberty City and I haven't even found my feet yet. Let me be depressed for a few days first."
"Write a letter first and tell them that I will visit them in person when I have time."
In fact, it’s not just that he wants to take a few days off, but mainly because Yi Beiwang still doesn’t quite understand NCR’s opinion of him.
NCR is a republic after all. Even though its performance in the Mojave Desert was a bit disappointing, it is not something we can confront head-on now.
I only have some trade dealings with Boone in the First Battalion, and I know nothing about the rest.
Will my existence be a help or a hindrance to NCR?
You still have to find a way to farm, increase your troops and conquer territory, otherwise you won’t even have a say.
Putting the NCR matters aside for the time being, Yi Beiwang was about to go visit Cass, but was stopped by Mist again.
Mister mysteriously took him to a deserted place and said, "Boss, remember those fastidious thieves I told you about a few days ago? They're at it again."
"I was personally watching in the warehouse, and I didn't even dare to blink, but they still took away several boxes of anti-radiation."
Hearing this, Yi Beiwang was a little confused.
There aren't many places in Mojave where radiation levels exceed the standard. Most people can get through it by drinking a few bottles of water, or at worst using radiation-eliminating drugs.
This results in the sales volume of Anti-Radiation Ning being not very high. After all, who would have the time to stay in a place with high radiation for a long time?
Yi Beiwang asked, "Didn't they leave anything behind like they did last time?"
"Yes, I don't understand what these things are used for. Maybe you should know them."
Mist took something out of his pocket. Just one glance at it made Yi Beiwang's pupils shrink and his heart almost stopped beating.
It was a small bamboo fan, and the pattern on it had long been rubbed so hard that it could no longer be seen clearly.
The four small words engraved on the fan handle gave Yi Beiwang a rough idea of the identities of those mysterious visitors.
Made in Dragon Country...
Haha, how long has it been since I saw these four words?
Yi Beiwang gently stroked the fan, raised his head at a 45-degree angle to look up at the sky, and his restless heart instantly calmed down at this moment.
