Fallout 4: The Wasteland Life of a Pillager

Chapter 194 True and False (2)

Hearing this, Dans couldn't help but look up at Yi Beiwang, feeling that he seemed to be emitting a faint holy light.

His heart was about to hit rock bottom, just like his current life, not worth saving and no way to save it.

After so many things that have happened in the past, Dans thought it was good enough that Yi Beiwang did not add insult to injury now.

But Yi Beiwang was like standing by the well at this moment, he extended a helping hand to him and grabbed him.

Many years later, whenever Dans thought of this incident, he couldn't help but smile knowingly, and then he followed Yi Beiwang's example and extended a helping hand to more people.

But now, looking at Yi Beiwang's cheerful smile, Dans didn't understand: "Why? I mean... I am a synthetic human, created by humans. I am just a false existence."

Yi Beiwang shook his head and said, "Existence is reasonable. As long as it exists, there is no such thing as true or false. At most, the truth is not pure or the false is not obvious."

As he spoke, Yi Beiwang sat next to Dans and took out a photo to show him.

It was a group photo of Yi Beiwang, Piper, Kate and Curie. The four of them were huddled together, all smiling happily.

Yi Beiwang pointed at Curie in the photo and said, "Her name is Curie. She is one of my lovers and also a third-generation synthetic human."

“Maybe she is a bunch of illusory codes, and I am just a bunch of meaningless cells.”

"Maybe she is just code, made of organic materials, high-energy batteries, 3D printed skeletons, and a little bit of wrong code."

"And I am nothing but protein and fat, made up of proteins, water, minerals, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, etc."

Dans could understand these words, but not when they were put together. He looked at Yi Beiwang in confusion.

Yi Beiwang explained: "I just want to say that when things are poured with emotion, they will flow with life. When I pour all my emotion into a piece of code, it is no longer a piece of code, but a real person."

“No one can define what a human being is. You can’t, I can’t, no one can.”

"Danse, take a good look at yourself, feel the world, think about what you have done in the Brotherhood, and think about the friendship and bond between you and your companions."

"Maybe this world is fake, you and I and everything in the world are fake, maybe all of this is just a few strings of ordinary words being read by some handsome guy."

"But at this moment, the friendship, love, and affection we have for the people around us... these emotions are all real."

"Think about everything you care about, think about the people who care about you. That's all I have to say. Think about it carefully."

After saying that, Yi Beiwang stood up, faced Dans, extended his hand to him, and waited for his response.

Dans never thought that one day he would be educated by a predator, and the key point was that what he said was so touching.

Even a tough guy like Dans couldn't help but be moved at this moment, and his dead heart gradually came back to life.

Dans opened the can of food that Yi Beiwang gave him, tilted his head back and swallowed it in big gulps. The soup splashed on his face and seemed to flow down mixed with something.

Seeing this, the other knights also started to move, eating the food in their hands and feeling the beauty of the world again.

Yi Beiwang didn't urge them, but just kept his hand stretched out, watching them eat with a smile.

After a long while, Dans wiped the tears and soup from his face, held Yi Beiwang's hand, stood up, and asked, "What are you going to do with us next? Will you send us back to the Brotherhood?"

Yi Beiwang smiled and said, "If I really intended to do this, I wouldn't be the one coming here today."

"I'll make up a reason and find a dozen crazy ghouls to burn you, saying that you were burned to death by a heartless looters. Then you can just follow me. I can also find a doctor to give you a facelift or something."

"There are thirteen of you in total. I should be able to gather thirteen power armors. Even though they are made of scraps, they can still be used."

"Dance, you are a paladin. Stand up for us, brothers, don't you agree?"

All the knights looked at Dans eagerly. If they didn't trust him, they wouldn't have chosen to follow Dans when escaping.

And now, they also need someone to lead them, and Dans is the most suitable candidate.

Dans smiled a little ashamedly, nodded, and asked again: "But if you do this, once you are discovered, it will be equivalent to going against the Brotherhood of Steel. Is it really worth it?"

Yi Beiwang shrugged and said indifferently: "Do you remember what I said to you when we were arguing on the radio?"

"what?"

"Brotherhood? If you're brothers, come and chop me up, hahahaha..."

Yi Beiwang put his hands on his hips and smiled as high-spirited and complacent as he did at the beginning.

The people outside the house couldn't help but applaud when they heard it, "That's really well said. I'm almost crying. It would be even more perfect without the last two sentences."

At this time, the door of the cabin was kicked open again, and Long Wande and Maxon appeared here, and saw Yi Beiwang laughing wildly.

Seeing this, Long Wande couldn't help but laugh and asked, "I admit that you have some strength, but what if... no need to say what if, we are really here to chop you down, how do you plan to deal with it?"

Seeing Long Wande and others coming over, Yi Beiwang's smile disappeared instantly, and he covered his face with his hands, thinking about countermeasures.
