"Go home and see?"

Veronica was stopped by Ling Qi's words.

What is home? Her home is that cold underground fortress. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In her heart, she doesn't like that kind of "home". However, as the place where she grew up, the cold steel fortress has a special meaning to her, and a certain feeling called attachment is even more difficult to part.

Although under the influence of the Brotherhood and Elder Elijah, she became extremely violent, and threw aside all the good and evil.

But that was only her personal behavior, and she herself disapproved of certain ideas of the organization, especially the rather barbaric ones.

Individual behavior belongs to the individual, and a person, whether good or evil, cannot have two ideas, otherwise it is called schizophrenia.

But there must be many different voices in an organization in order to grow. Otherwise, if it is a song of merit, then it is not far from destruction.

The Brotherhood of Steel is facing such a situation right now, and the terrible thing is that most people don't realize it. The reason why Veronica ran away from home was not only because of some of her freedom-advocating thoughts, but also because she wanted to find a "way out" for the Brotherhood of Steel outside!

She never said this to anyone, not for fear of being ridiculed, but for fear of being used.

Now that Ling Qi suddenly said this, Veronica unconsciously began to associate New Vegas with the Brotherhood of Steel.

She was a little moved, and a little worried.

She liked Ling Qi very much, and it seemed that he had a taste of him that she liked. Maybe it's the same kind of paranoia about freedom, maybe it's that behind that paranoia, there is a sense of fatalism and responsibility that others can't see!

Always, she likes Ling Qi as a person, but looking at what he did, she didn't think he was the way out for the Brotherhood.

She saw in him the epitome of someone, a man, a father, a mentor whom she respected, loved, and feared!

Seeing Veronica silent, Ling Qi knew that she understood what he meant, she wasn't stupid in the first place, but her big grinning personality covered up that cunning.

"Don't think about it, I just want you, I want to take you back to see, nothing else. ”

Ling Qi turned sideways to face her, looking at the girl who was much shorter than herself, and stroked her long silver hair that hung upside down.

"Actually, if we can convince the Brotherhood to work with us, it will be a win-win situation. ”

"You know, I don't just have what people see. ”

Ling Qi put his arm around her shoulders and hugged her into his arms, baring his sharp fangs.

"I know that the Brotherhood has always been very repulsive to outsiders, even paranoid to the point of being an enemy to anyone who dares to use technology on them. ”

"I can understand their pride, after all, it was once the most advanced force in the land. However, the times are different, it doesn't work behind closed doors, only strong alliances are king!"

Ling Qi fiddled with the props in the storage space, and the objects on his outstretched right hand kept changing, and Veronica, who was snuggled in the warm embrace, happened to see this scene.

Ling Qi didn't get to the point, he still didn't understand what Veronica was worried about.

But on the other hand, he pointed out the shortcomings of the Brotherhood, as well as its own advantages, showing that the Brotherhood has nothing to covet from him.

Cutting-edge technology?

Cooperation is good for everyone, that's not taking advantage.

In fact, who says that only people with the same and similar ideas can cooperate?

Different ideas may affect collaborators, but after all, it is not mandatory, and the benefits are real and promising.

Interests and beliefs occasionally clash and more often fish and water mingle, something Veronica didn't even think about.

She selectively ignored Ling Qi's subtle distinction between her and the Brotherhood.

Of course, she still had a little joy in her heart, because it showed that Ling Qi was not close to her because of the brotherhood. She just didn't think about it, does this also mean that the Brotherhood and Ling Qi will not be given special care because of her relationship?

"Okay~ Once you've arranged this here, I'll go back to the Brotherhood and try to convince them to give some aid to New Vegas. And you-"

Veronica pushed Ling Qi away, her face a little ruddy, and was quickly obscured by the flickering white light on the nearby screen.

Ling Qi's eyes were bent into two crescents, and he seemed to have seen more mechanical armies pounce on the enemy.

"Of course I'm going back with you. ”

Hearing the reasonable and unexpected response, Veronica was slightly stunned.

"But you-"

Ling Qi is no longer a lone ranger! he represents a huge force that dares to compete with the NRC and Caesar's legions. How could such a leader of a force easily leave his lair and go deep into the rear of an unfamiliar organization?!

Outsiders don't know that it is Mr. Hao who controls the mechanical legion, and Ling Qi is purely a representative and a façade.

I believe that many people are looking forward to the moment when he leaves New Vegas, and countless sniper rifles are already aimed at him in the distance, not just enemies!

"It's okay, I remember promising you. Moreover, I am also a little reluctant to you. ”

said insincere words, Ling Qi just didn't worry about her eloquence, and she had enough confidence in her own strength, so she dared to do that.

The Concealment skill basically ensures that he can get out safely in any dangerous place, basically...

Unfortunately, Veronica doesn't think so. Listening to the sweet words, she felt that she was surrounded by a deep sense of happiness.

In some ways, women are ultimately sluggish and wishful thinking.

They can take advantage as trust, and they can take greed as care.

Veronica remembered the request he had made to Ling Qi one day, and he seemed to have promised her something.

She could feel his fist and heart, the longing for his followers and the desire for some kind of love to come from the heart.

Some charming atmosphere spread, and a seed that Ling Qi needed was quietly planted.

Veronica lowered her head and fiddled with the armor, Ling Qi exhaled out of the friend attribute panel, looked at the friendliness level that had risen a little more, and nodded with satisfaction.

As long as the goal can be achieved, he doesn't mind at all whether the method is shameful or not.

As long as the benefits are sufficient, why not cheat them!

In fact, from a certain point of view, isn't the relationship between a follower and a master stronger than that of a couple?

Affection is a bond, Ling Qi doesn't need appearances, he needs a strong essence!

On the same day that Tang Xiao set off for the Cannon Clan with the "envoy group", Ling Qi also quietly left New Vegas from the secret passage with Veronica.

The secret passage is still the one that the dead ghost Benny prepared for himself, but in the underground mechanical factory under the Lucky Thirty-Eight Casino, another tunnel has been carved out to connect with each other.

In order to hide people's eyes, Ling Qifei not only left his holographic influence with Veronica in the top suite of Lucky 38 Casino, but even Godzilla stayed in the casino.

Having confidence in himself does not mean that he can be unscrupulous, once it is known by outsiders that he has left the casino at such a time, he needs to worry about more than just his personal safety!

After half a month, I set foot in the wasteland and wasteland again, and the climate and environment have changed a lot.

Some of the changes Ling Qi had already learned about through Godzilla in advance, and more of them were the information he had collected from the reconnaissance of the mechanical sentinels, and of course there were some changes, and even Ling Qi himself didn't understand them at all.

It seems that it was from the moment he grabbed the platinum chip that those mutated creatures that had not changed in the past hundred years had a tendency to evolve again.

Ling Qi dared to bet with his head that the so-called platinum chip had absolutely no more, deeper essential connection with this change!

Coincidental?

He didn't know if he should use such an adjective!

If you are a simple-minded person, you will probably think that this is the master manipulating behind the scenes, and actively increase the difficulty of the task!

But he knew very well that the influence of the Juggernaut on the various mission planes was far less terrifying!

It seems to have become transcendent, almost omniscient.

But this does not mean that it can interfere with the laws and rules of the other world, and even if it changes the thoughts and feelings of people in the other world, it can only strengthen some existing emotions for the case of followers, and it is impossible to have a large-scale and rebellious emotional change.

This is true of ethereal things, let alone the present world.

The Juggernaut seems to be able to see the future, and it can induce, or other similar means, to make the reincarnation at a certain point in time, at a certain stage of the task, and by coincidence!

For example, the re-evolution of a large number of mutated creatures in the wasteland, even if there is no Ling Qi, even if he does not complete the task at this time, this thing will still happen.

However, if that happens, presumably the Platinum Chip will be used or destroyed by someone else, causing the mission to fail, and then there will be some mandatory punishment mission.

This change in the environment will also be "useful" when the time comes!

Can this situation still be classified as a coincidence?

Are the accidents in "Death Coming" a coincidence? Of course it is, but for the victims, it's not!

It refers to the future in general, and there is a coincidence. The road that is destined is only inevitable!

Standing on the barren hill, Ling Qi slowly pulled the long knife out of the abdomen of a three-meter-long praying mantis, and a large amount of dark green blood gushed out like a fountain, exuding a disgusting rancid stench.

Veronica ran over, and she had already finished the battle, burning all the monsters in the mantis nest a few hundred meters away, including the strings of insect eggs.

"Gross~ This is really disgusting. ”

Veronica, who was downwind, complained as soon as she ran nearby, and the brain-controlled power armor automatically turned on the air filtration system.

"Smack!"

A kick stomped the calf of the giant mantis, and the girl under the armor couldn't help frowning.

"No wonder the immigration office in New Vegas has been crowded every day lately, and I thought those people were just coming for welfare, it seems—"

Ling Qi listened to the sound of Veronica's urn and silently looked back in the direction she had come.

They had been out day and night, running on the wasteland for two whole days, and according to the map on the PP boy, it was sixty or seventy kilometers away from the Vegas ruins.

"Not all of them, most of the creatures that have mutated have not fully evolved, so except for the chance encounters, ordinary wasteland rangers and scavengers may not be aware of this disaster. ”

Ling Qi brandished the long knife, causing a whimper in the air, as if he wanted to cut away the stench of wind around him, and a lot of dark green juice stuck to the knife body was bounced away by a trembling force.

"The world has obviously changed again, not just mutated creatures! Don't you think there seems to be a lot less radioactive fallout in the air? Moreover, the clouds in the sky have become thicker. ”

Change always starts with subtleties, and there are often very few people who pay attention to these details.

Veronica was speechless, she didn't expect this man to have such a keen insight. She blushed slightly, wondering what she was doing when he noticed the details.

Ling Qi didn't want to say more, but he also began to rejoice in his earlier choice.

If power had not been wried from House, if there had not been a relatively stable rear now. Not to mention the newcomers, even he himself will probably be exhausted by the back road.

Strength, power! These things that are disdained by a gentleman are precisely the most important thing for survival!

Those morals and feelings that have been blown out by others in peacetime are the most powerless in the face of disasters and difficulties.

The sublime can't change reality, because this is the world of the laity. Eating and drinking Lazar is always before the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and this has been the case since ancient times.

Aware of the changes taking place in the wasteland, Veronica no longer struggled with the extra wear and tear of her power armor due to the lack of maintenance, and became as race against the clock as Ling Qi.

There was still a day's trip away from the Brotherhood of Steel underground fortress, and the refusal to return was far away, so Ling Qi contacted the "Zero" who operated the House network and one of its clones through Mr. Yes, and put that handful of fish into the net in advance!

Some ate ashes in the wilderness, others went crazy in the envoys, and others gathered in the filthy slums, fantasizing about another successful counterattack.

Mormon Fortress, it should be said that it was the former Mormon Fortress, in response to Ling Qi's request to rectify the camp of the followers of the apocalypse, more than a dozen members of the organization who were quite prestigious among the followers of the apocalypse, but did not have much real power, were huddled in a tent that was not too spacious.

If this scene is seen by the living, it is easy to think that group of ragged guys for outlaws, and then think crookedly.

In fact, they looked at those women as respectfully as they could, it was like a gathering of cultists, and these "cultists" were almost about to reach the level of fanaticism!

"Sister Yun~ How are you communicating with Li Qiang, the dead fat man! Just convince him to infiltrate Lucky 38 Casino and drop this little signal transmitter anywhere. With Sister Julie's strength, it won't be a matter of minutes to crack the defense system set up by that person!"

Mo Momo, who has been missing for many days, has been wandering around New Vegas with Cass.

She thought she was well hidden, after all, there was no surveillance camera or anything like that in this place of Mormon Fortress.

"It's not proper~ In that case, wouldn't that friend of yours be evil to that person, and besides, why should we have to go against him? ”

Cass kicked his boots and said something casually that saved a woman.

Some people will only hide in the corner and plan secretly, thinking that they have a plan, where to know the changes outside.

In addition to Tang Xiao, these newcomers are also trusted by that person, and occasionally entrust them with important tasks. She and Li Qiang seem to be his henchmen, but in fact, they don't even have a chance to get close to Lucky Thirty-Eight Casino.

If that's it, the newcomers may not be able to do something when they work together.

However, Li Qiang's dead fat man has been stunned by the woman at all, he only cares about pleasure, and he doesn't care about everything, where will she "rebel". Even Cheng Shao didn't know if he knew anything in advance through the prophecy ability of the rumors, and he had been avoiding her recently, just like avoiding the plague god.

Liu Yun secretly smiled bitterly, she only got involved with these guys because of Mo Mo's relationship at first.

Now, even she, a not-so-smart person, felt that their plan was too naïve, let alone aside.

What's more, they are all tasks, so what difference does it make if they complete it? Isn't it good to wait for the return with peace of mind? Do you want to fight for that extra reward?

Doing so without mentioning the risk is simply an act that you can't get over with yourself!

Of course, Liu Yun didn't say these words, she just kept her usual silence.

The only woman in the work uniform with eyes and a slight age of the four argues with Cass again.

Her talent in the field of electronic technology has not been derived from life and intrigue at all.

The guys around listened to the quarrels of the beauties with relish, but they couldn't give the slightest useful advice, because they basically didn't understand it, and they didn't know how to do it.

More than eighty miles away, in an abandoned pasture, where a large area of thatch spreads.

was dodging Ling Qi, who was dodging the rare sunny day, and the PP boy on his left arm suddenly overflowed with a faint blue light, outlining a dark cartoon face on the surface of the screen.

"Hey~buddy~ It's all arranged over there, do you really want to kill her?"

"Also, I think your symptoms are getting worse, don't you really need me to diagnose you?"

Ling Qi sat on the floor with her back against the dilapidated sofa, on which Veronica was sleeping soundly.

"Let's act, the others are captured alive, she must die. Don't tell me you're reluctant. Besides, I know my own affairs, and you can't help me. ”

Ling Qi said lightly, and Mr. Yes made an indifferent expression.

"Alright then, whatever you want. As for that woman, I just think she might be useful, after all, she's also my creator. But since you insist, kill it. ”

When Ling Qi heard this, he began to close his eyes and take a nap.

Veronica's snoring was fading in his ears, and he didn't know when he had gotten used to having this sound in the dark.

It's like he's used to giving orders, life and death without frowning.

Habit is a terrible force, so terrible that people forget whether they remember it or not.

The white light from outside the house shone in through the tattered curtains, dappling the ground. These spots of light and the dried blood stains on the walls complement each other, forming a strange picture, cruel and beautiful.
