Chapter 338 Thoughts on Retirement
As soon as he saw the postman coming back, Yi Beiwang asked in confusion: "Where have you been? How come you disappeared for almost a month? Do you know that I and everyone else are very worried about you?"
The postman replied, "Nothing, just a little trouble, just a little trouble."
"Gannon said some of the Enclave people were not very honest, so I went to have a good talk with them and it has been dealt with."
The scene changed to a certain settlement, where several NCR soldiers who were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield for the postman fell into deep thought after seeing two damaged power armors and a dozen Enclave soldier corpses on the ground.
The postman didn't care about the ending and asked, "I heard you were looking for me everywhere. Did something happen in Qingquan Town?"
Hearing this, Yi Beiwang stood up and pulled the postman to a deserted place, and whispered in his ear: "Long story short, Cass is pregnant, and you are going to be a father."
Yi Beiwang didn't dare to speak about this too loudly. After all, he and the postman had enemies, and it would be troublesome if someone with ulterior motives heard it.
After delivering the message, Yi Beiwang felt relieved and planned to discuss with the postman what would be useful when the baby was born.
However, after hearing the news, the postman did not act as happy as Yi Beiwang had imagined. Instead, he frowned.
He looked a little anxious, with three parts worry, three parts melancholy and four parts expectation in his eyes, arranged in a pie-shaped distribution chart.
Yi Beiwang couldn't help but ask, "You don't want this child, do you? Postman, you can't abandon her after having sex with her."
"Let me tell you, if you can't afford to raise the child, you can come to me. As a godfather, I will definitely take good care of my nephew or niece."
Without even getting the postman's consent, Yi Beiwang directly took on the position of godfather.
He began to ask the postman what things would be needed for having a baby, such as milk powder, diapers, toys, etc., all of which had to be the best.
It is certain that this child will have a good life in the future. His biological father is a Mojave legend, and his godfather is a famous time traveler. It can be said that he was born in Rome.
The postman did not pour cold water on Yi Beiwang. He waited until Yi Beiwang finished muttering before saying, "Beiwang, thank you for telling me the news."
"It's not that I don't want to take responsibility, I'm just worried, given our current situation, can the child grow up safely after being born?"
The postman wanted to light a cigarette, but when he thought of his baby who would be born in a few months, he put out the cigarette.
He looked at the half of the setting sun blocked by the walls of Liberty City and said, "NCR, the Legion, House, the three major families, the four major gangs, and various other local gang forces... Mojave has never been peaceful."
"Even though everyone seems to give me face, once the child is born, it means I have a weak spot. At that time, they will definitely try every means to control the child and then use it to threaten me."
"Under these circumstances, letting a weak baby be born doesn't seem like a wise choice."
Hearing this, Yi Beiwang looked at the postman in disbelief and asked, "Are you still a postman? Where is your domineering attitude?"
"You're a Mojave legend! Even if you can't mediate with the others, you can still jump out!"
Hearing this, the postman asked back: "How to jump out?"
"Am I a legend? I'm just a person who lived longer. If a person is killed, he will die. No one can change that."
"Legend... Haha, which legend in the wasteland doesn't call the shots between good and evil, black and white? But the moment you jump in, your fate is already determined."
At this point, the tough postman also sighed, which was rare.
At this time, an eagle flew from the horizon, just flying over the heads of the two people, and flew straight towards the setting sun that was about to disappear.
Damn, there are eagles in Mojave. I haven’t seen one in almost two years.
Just as he was marveling at the power of the wasteland creatures, he heard the postman ask, "Beiwang, what are your plans now?"
"Don't use slacking off as an excuse. I know you have big ambitions. Tell me, what do you want?"
Ah? Do I still have big ambitions?
If I have to say something, it’s just those thoughts that popped into my mind when I first came here.
Recruit some people, occupy some land, then plant some crops and raise some cattle, that's enough.
But the question is, how much is enough?
Yi Beiwang pondered for a moment, then decided to brag, saying, "Take down Mojave, wipe out all the people or forces that stand in our way, and plant them all in the fields!"
"Unify the United States and ensure that everyone has enough food to eat and clean water to drink."
The postman knew at a glance that Yi Beiwang was bragging, but when he looked to the side and saw those people who had eaten and drunk their fill after moving the bricks, with light in their eyes for the first time, he felt that this goal did not seem to be a dream.
Seeing that the postman was persuaded by him, Yi Beiwang struck while the iron was hot and said, "I know you have a lot of things that you can't let go of, but as a person, you should be more carefree."
"Why don't you return to Qingquan Town incognito and enjoy your life with Sister Cass? I can guarantee that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."
"If you really have nothing to do, you can help me train the people in the merchant group, or just retire and enjoy your retirement. It's up to you to decide."
The postman shook his head and said, "It's not the right time yet. There are some things I still have to handle personally to feel at ease."
"Don't worry, with you as a variable, perhaps the situation will get better and better."
At this time, a breeze blew.
An eagle feather flew over with the wind, circled in front of Yi Beiwang for a few times, and then landed steadily on his head.
The postman took the feather and took a look at it, then put it back into Yi Beiwang's hand and said, "How majestic it is to fly in the sky. I hope you can be an eagle soaring in the sky, not a lapdog at their side."
“The road you are about to take is difficult, and there may not even be anyone who will follow you, but you may actually be able to complete this road.”
"You must move forward bravely. In Mojave, no one can retreat..."
