Chapter 288 Establishing a Transaction
Ten minutes later, after the postman drank three bottles of wine to temporarily improve his charm, he successfully persuaded Boone and Yi Beiwang to stop fighting.
When Boone heard that this boy was the postman's new friend, he first apologized sincerely, and then just stood there, not knowing what to say.
He didn't care about the fight just now. After all, even in the First Battalion, he often fought and sparred with his teammates.
Yi Beiwang didn't care too much. After all, the other party was a lieutenant colonel after all, and he might be able to use him in the future.
As for the incident where I was almost shot in the head by Boone just now... well, we are just brothers, it’s not a big deal.
After being persuaded by the postman, the two shook hands and made peace, which meant that they had become friends after a fight.
As they headed toward the First Camp, Boone and the Postman reminisced about the past.
The postman took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter and handed them to Boone, and asked, "I haven't been here for a while. How have you been recently?"
Boone lit the cigarette in his mouth, put the cigarette box and lighter into his pocket, and replied: "You can see now that I am no different from before, or I am still alive, and I am still leading my men to live a hard life."
"The Legion's people don't seem to have made much movement recently. The oil tanker you helped to seize two days ago has been delivered to Royce. Apart from that, there's nothing major going on."
"That bastard Oliver has been embezzling our military pay for several years, but it still can't satisfy his appetite."
"The last time we received supplies, there wasn't even any food left. They told us to figure it out on our own. Really... If Moore hadn't stopped him, he would have died a long time ago."
"Don't you see where the First Battalion is? Unlike Colonel Xu and his men, they are stationed next to the casino, so it's easy for them to get supplies."
When talking about Colonel Xu, Boone glanced coldly at Yi Beiwang and looked at him unceremoniously.
Yi Beiwang, who was eavesdropping on their conversation, straightened his head and chest and widened his eyes when he saw this, looking mentally unstable.
Boone asked the postman, "I know what I said is not nice, but why did you let such a burden follow you? He doesn't look like Colonel Xu's illegitimate son."
"Or did he give you a lot of money? You have a money-making machine, isn't that enough?"
The postman took a look at Yi Beiwang who started to march, and couldn't help but sighed and said, "Don't look at him as a little bit stupid, physically weak, and silly, but he is still very good."
"Let me tell you this, if I push him into a corner, he can fight me 50-50."
There is indeed nothing wrong with what you say.
The postman only needs to make a slight move to make Yi Beiwang unable to rise again.
If Yi Beiwang uses replacement as much as possible, the postman won't be able to hit him.
In a sense, it's a fifty-fifty split.
Yi Beiwang, who overheard this, came over and asked, "Who is Colonel Xu? Could he be from the same hometown as mine?"
Yi Beiwang was very excited. It would be great if he could meet another fellow from Longguo in this unfamiliar place.
Seeing this, the postman poured cold water on him and said, "Don't even think about it. Colonel Xu is only a descendant of the Dragon Country, not a real Dragon Country person."
"Back then, the Dragon Nation troops reached the west coast of the United States, and many infiltration troops came here to take root and infiltrate. This is why you can see some descendants of the Dragon Nation in Mojave."
"Of course, there are also rumors that there is a Dragon Nation troop of several hundred people. They have turned into zombies, but they are still wandering somewhere in Mojave, seemingly looking for an opportunity to contact the Dragon Nation."
Hearing this, Yi Beiwang felt a little disappointed at first, and then a little expectant.
Unfortunately, the only people he could meet here were descendants of the Dragon Kingdom, and they probably wouldn't be able to drink and chat with him like Lao Zhao did.
But what if, what if there are a few Dragon Country soldiers who have survived to this day in the land of New Vegas?
At that time, he might be able to use the major general uniform left by Lao Zhao to fool them and show that he came to save them.
Alas, I don’t know if such a day will ever come.
I'm already extremely lucky to meet Lao Zhao. You can't expect me to meet hundreds of Dragon Country soldiers, right?
Yi Beiwang looked up at the sky, thinking pessimistically.
At this time, they had arrived at the camp of the first battalion.
Looking around, there were dozens of large tents standing on a relatively flat land, with hundreds of soldiers moving back and forth among them, busy with their own affairs.
Some people were maintaining and repairing their guns, while others were communicating on the radio in the tent.
Outside the tents, potatoes and mutant ferns are basically planted. It seems that they have been planted for some time, and it is obvious that they intend to be self-sufficient.
Several soldiers came back from other mountain paths, carrying several giant poisonous bees and some lizardmen behind them.
They chatted and laughed as they threw the corpses of the monsters onto the rocks, then expertly cut and dismembered them, recycling useful parts from them.
It’s hard to imagine that these people live such a hard life, but they can still find joy in it. What keeps them going till now?
At this time, a man wearing sunglasses came over. He nodded to the postman after seeing him. After seeing Yi Beiwang, he was stunned for a moment, turned his head and asked Boone: "When did Colonel Xu have an illegitimate child?"
Before Boone could explain, the man in sunglasses laughed and said, "Just kidding, they don't look alike."
"Dragon countryman, let me introduce myself. My name is Manny, and I'm Boone's adjutant. What's your name?"
Yi Beiwang smiled and said, "Just call me Yi Beiwang. I have a small question. Have you ever opened a hamburger shop or something?"
Manny was puzzled and said, "I don't have bottle caps to open a burger shop, but this idea is not bad. When the Legion is completely destroyed, I can consider it."
"So, why did you go to all that trouble to come here? It can't be just to see the scenery, right?"
After saying that, Manny pointed in a certain direction behind him.
Yi Bei looked behind him and saw a huge dam standing in the distance.
It may be because it hasn't rained for a long time, so the water level at the dam is more or less low.
That is the legendary Hoover Dam. NCR and Caesar's Legion fought two battles for this place, but NCR was still the final winner.
It would be great if I could control such a big dam.
Yi Beiwang suppressed his arrogant thoughts, shook his head at Manny, found an open space and waved.
In an instant, a large amount of supplies appeared here out of thin air, including but not limited to clean food and water, medicine, weapons and ammunition, etc.
There are even things like cigarettes and coffee that can soothe you.
Boone looked at Yi Beiwang with some surprise, then at the postman, suspecting that the postman had stolen some incredible technology from the mountains.
When he and the postman were traveling together, they even saw a crashed alien UFO.
In Boone's opinion, the ability to create materials out of thin air should only be some kind of space technology.
Although Boone was very interested in this kind of space technology, he instantly lost interest when he thought that this thing might have been produced by the Great Mountains.
Didn’t you see the antenna on the postman’s head? That was the work of the Great Mountains. Even if Yi Beiwang’s technology came from the Great Mountains, God knows what they did to him.
Boone doesn't want to be watched by a bunch of crazy scientists all the time.
Thinking of this, Boone asked, "What do you mean? There aren't that many bottle caps in the First Battalion right now to trade for these supplies."
Yi Beiwang rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "No, we are all friends. Talking about bottle caps will hurt our feelings."
"Let's be frank. I'm a businessman and I'm working hard to expand my business group. I heard that you are the intelligence center of New Vegas, so I want to exchange some information here."
"Like where are all the NCR troops and what are they lacking."
"If necessary, I would also like to hire some soldiers as my bodyguards. What do you think?"
Boone was a little hesitant. After all, they had principles and could not sell intelligence to outsiders.
He was about to refuse, but the postman pulled him aside and said, "Why are you still hesitating? If you don't consider yourself, you should at least consider the people under you, right?"
"I gave you the bottle caps but you didn't want them. Now I've found you a fairly reliable merchant. It would be a bit too much if you still don't want them."
"With me watching, Yi Beiwang won't do anything bad to NCR. Trust me."
Manny on the side also came over to help, "Boss, we don't know when the next batch of supplies will arrive. With Oliver's temper, he might even replace the supplies with rotten bullets."
"Lieutenant Colonel, you don't want our people to have to sleep in the open, do you?"
Boone looked at the soldiers behind him and found that almost all of them were gathered together, looking at the piled up supplies, their eyes filled with desire.
It’s not their fault. After all, everyone is so poor that they have almost no water to drink. Not coming here directly to requisition water has already been giving face to Yi Beiwang... and the postman beside him.
He sighed, turned and walked into the tent, and came out not long after with a note.
"This is the location of the NCR troops. You can find out by asking around. There is also a list of supplies they may need. If you are able, please help."
"By the way, what's the name of your business group? We can use the radio to advertise for you later."
Yi Beiwang almost laughed himself into submission and said, "The Yibei Merchant Group is a merchant group that will sooner or later spread across the entire Mojave."
"I've already thought of the slogan, just shout it like this..."

It seems that there are indeed Dragon Nation's zombie soldiers in New Vegas. We are considering letting them appear, but we haven't figured out when to let them appear, nor have we figured out why they will appear. Let's just make a rough plan here first.
