Fallout 4: The Wasteland Life of a Pillager

Chapter 270 Western Ghost

evening.

Yi Beiwang arrived at Thorn City in a smoking Wuling Hongguang, but was greatly disappointed with the place.

I thought it was some fancy city, but when I took a closer look, it turned out to be just a small county town near my hometown, and a war-damaged version of it from Syria.

The key point is that there are not many living people in this battle-damaged small city. There are only some scattered merchants and scavengers selling and wandering around here.

There was a very high and large wall on the other side of the city, and Yibei couldn't see what was over there.

What the hell? It can’t be to prevent the invasion of giants.

Yi Beiwang shook his head, got out of the car and looked at the smoking Wuling Hongguang. He had hit a lot of rocks while driving just now, and the car was smoking. He had hurried here.

I don’t know if there is any car repair shop nearby. If all else fails, I’ll have to find another car.

Yi Beiwang opened the hood, poured some water into the car to cool it down a little, then put the water inside, locked the car and walked out of Thorn City, where he saw an old corpse selling things in a cool place somewhere.

There was a shelf next to the old zombie, on which hung an old, blood-stained shelter jumpsuit. It seemed to be a costume from Shelter No. 13, probably stolen from a resident of another shelter.

Yi Beiwang walked up to the old corpse ghost and asked, "Uncle, I'm here from Qingquan Town to deliver the goods. Where is the person in charge of Thorn City?"

"There aren't many people here. What are you selling here?"

Yi Beiwang bent down and saw that this was a water purification chip. When Long Wande was helping to set up the water purification device, he was watching nearby.

Seeing this, the old ghoul introduced: "Water purification chips are from Shelter Technology. There is even a commemorative edition for Shelter No. 13. You can take your time to choose."

"It's not expensive. I'll sell it to you for 20,000 or 30,000 bottle caps."

Duo Shao?! I only make 2,000 yuan for one trip, and you dare to ask for 20,000 yuan? Aren't you afraid that others will rob you?

Yi Beiwang waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I can't afford this thing. Besides, I'm just here to deliver water. What's the use of a water purification chip?"

The old ghoul said, "Don't underestimate these water purification chips. There was once a resident of Shelter 13 who almost fought his way through the wasteland for them. He lost all his friends and was even exiled."

"It's ironic that the things he tried so hard to get are now everywhere here. How sad."

"See this jumpsuit next to me? That's his legacy. It's not for sale. Just take a look at it."

Yi Beiwang shook his head, indicating that he didn't want to hear any legendary stories.

All he wanted now was to deliver the goods quickly, go back quickly, and then continue his business and make bottle caps to improve his reputation.

Just as he was thinking, the manhole cover on the ground beside him was pushed open, and a woman with short red hair stretched lazily towards the sunset, looked at the surprised Yi Beiwang, and said with a smile: "Good afternoon, handsome boy, Cass sent you to deliver water."

"Just call me Lucy. The Thorn Castle is down there. What are you doing up there by yourself?"

Yi Beiwang asked doubtfully: "Isn't there an old corpse ghost next to him...where is he?"

Turning his head again, Yi Beiwang found that the place where he had just set up the stall was empty, as if no one had ever been here.

Damn, is this an illusion? When?

Yi Beiwang looked around nervously, fearing that he would be driven insane by the illusion like Yuangang had been before.

Lucy couldn't figure out what was wrong with Yi Beiwang, so she climbed out of the manhole cover and called her brothers out. She patted him on the shoulder and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"

Yi Beiwang replied: "You may not believe this, but I just saw a corpse ghost selling water purification chips here, but he disappeared as soon as I turned my head."

Lucy seemed to have thought of something and explained, "Then you may have encountered the legendary Western ghost."

"Legend has it that some legends in the past would appear in this ghostly form to guide those who were lost."

"Brother, you may be lost."

Yi Beiwang smiled and said, "You must be joking. If I were lost, how could I possibly get to Thorn City?"

"Okay, let's not discuss this kind of philosophical question here. The water has been delivered. Send the money and take a look at your goods."

After saying that, Yi Beiwang pointed at Wuling Hongguang and asked them to exchange the goods, without thinking about what had just happened.

Lucy directed her men to stuff the parts and other items that Cass wanted into the car, then took out a large bag of bottle caps and handed them to Yi Beiwang, asking, "Brother, do you want to go into Thorn City and take a look? I just got the bottle caps, don't you want to play with them?"

"We can send someone to watch your car, but if you want to fix it, you'd better ask if there is anyone inside who can do it."

Yi Beiwang thought for a moment and said, "It's ok to take a look. We're here anyway."

"Let me see what fun things there are here."
