Fallout 4: The Wasteland Life of a Pillager

Chapter 271 Wasteland Lighthouse

The City of Thorns is located in an underground sewer pipe. The location seems to be at a large pipe connection, and it is unknown where the surrounding pipes lead to.

There are welded metal platforms and walkways around for people to walk through, and there are many broken oil drums with burning flames on the platforms for lighting.

Rust spreads on the walls and corridors like thorns, which is probably the origin of the name of Thorn City.

In the center of Thorn City is a large arena, where someone is fighting with a monster with a snake head and a wolf body, and the people around are cheering.

Lucy introduced: "Welcome to the City of Thorns. This is a place where the strong gain fame and fortune, but also a place where the weak fall into hell."

"You can bet on these competitors, and if you win you'll get double the prize money, or you can fight yourself, and the winner will gain fame and bottle caps, while the loser will lose his life."

"But please note that in Thorn City everyone must abide by the rules and respect each other. If you dare to cause any trouble, I will not let you off easily even if you are Cass's friend."

Oh, wasteland.

There are arenas everywhere.

It is understandable. After all, everyone wants to have fun, but there are very few entertainment options.

Anyway, Yi Beiwang doesn’t really like watching this stuff, so he might as well go and rescue those ragged young ladies.

Yi Beiwang thought for a moment and asked, "What monsters do you have here?"

Lucy counted on her fingers, "In addition to the Night Owls on the field, there are also Salamanders, Radscorpions, Giant Mantises, Venomous Bees... We even have Death Claws."

Yi Beiwang exclaimed: "There are so many. Where did you catch them from?"

Lucy smiled and said, "Catch them? That's totally unnecessary. We have our own way of raising them, you see."

After saying that, Lucy pointed to the arena, where she saw that the brave competitor just now was found by the Night Owl on the opposite side and had his neck bitten off.

God knows how this creature came into being, with a snake's head and a wolf's body.

The night owl wanted to swallow the corpse like a snake, but its hardware was incomplete and the corpse got stuck in its throat. After several minutes, it was unable to swallow it and suffocated itself to death.

Seeing this, Lucy smiled awkwardly and said, "Wasteland creatures are all very brainless."

"But it doesn't matter. The guy who just died has given us enough bottle caps, so we don't have much to lose."

"How about it? Do you want to go up and give it a try?"

Watching the fight between people and animals on the stage, Yi Beiwang also felt itchy to do it, but he still refused.

The Animal Friend skill that he won in a lottery some time ago can prevent him from being attacked by any wasteland creatures.

Although the skills given by the system have some flaws and limitations, it is undeniable that they are all very useful skills.

If he goes up, he will probably walk these creatures like walking a dog, and there will be no way to explain it then, so forget it.

But in Lucy's opinion, Yi Beiwang was just a coward, and she looked down on him a little more.

After a while, Lucy checked the time and said with a smile, "It's getting dark. Since this is your first time in Thorn City, I'll take you to see something."

As she spoke, Lucy took Yi Beiwang back to the ground and ran to a very high slope.

Only then did Yi Beiwang discover what was behind the wall on the ground of Thorn City.

It was a well-preserved city, in stark contrast to the dilapidated buildings outside the walls.

At this time, the sun had already set, and the city was lit up with dazzling lights. At the same time, a string of words lit up on the tallest building in the city - Lucky 38 Casino, attracting people like a beacon.

Looking at the twinkling lights in the city, Yi Beiwang seemed to be able to hear the laughter of people over there.

I never thought that there could be such a luxurious place in the wasteland. How did it survive the nuclear war?

Lucy pointed at the city and introduced, "That's the business district of New Vegas. You can also call it the gambling city. It's managed by a manager named House."

"This casino was protected by his defense system. Rumor has it that he withstood more than 200 nuclear bombs back then. That's amazing."

"You can enjoy everything there and let desire consume you completely. However, there is one good thing about the casino. It doesn't cheat poor people. Just to get in, you have to pay an entrance fee of 2,000 bottle caps. The wall is to prevent poor people like us from going in to eat and drink for free."

"How about it? Are you particularly eager to go in and take a look?"

Yi Bei stared at the Vegas casino in a trance, his eyes flickering slightly with the lights, as if he was recalling something.

I once lived in a city like this...

When will I be able to allow everyone to live in a city like this?

I don't care about New Vegas. I must make NFPR strong. Sooner or later, everyone will be able to live in a city like this.

Well, let’s contact NFPR first.

Thinking of this, Yi Beiwang's gaze firmed for a few seconds, then quickly disappeared.

He waved his hand and said, "I want to go back. If I look a few more times, I'm afraid I will really get lost."

"Let's go while the night is still dark. If we walk faster, we may even be able to catch up with the sun."

Yi Beiwang looked back at the Las Vegas again, and then prepared to go back to Qingquan Town to play badly for a few days.
