There were many benefits to having a Death Claw by his side.
First of all, you didn't need to worry about those mutated big-headed flies, radioactive cockroaches, mutated dogs, or other random things blocking your way. This made the rest of Fangzheng's journey a lot easier.
Most bandits would run away as soon as they saw a Death Claw, unless they were stubborn enough to have confidence in themselves and were not afraid of sacrificing themselves …. Well, such people in the wasteland would have died long ago.
But it still brought a little trouble, just like the current situation.
"Who the hell are you people!!!"
The militia in front of him held their rifles and stared at Fangzheng. They were fully armed and guarding behind the gate of the settlement, but even so, each of their faces was pale and pale. They were trembling as if they had seen some kind of monster.
After all, in the dark of the night, there was a man in a black trench coat, a wide-brimmed hat, and a big sword on his back. There was also a Death Claw standing behind him, looking like a demon that had just walked out of hell. Even if they did nothing and just stood there, it was enough to scare people to the point of peeing their pants.
But fortunately, there was still one person they could communicate with.
"We're not suspicious people!!"
Kate hurriedly came out to negotiate. She raised her hands to show that she was not carrying any weapons, then walked to the side of the militia. Now, Kate could only pray that this group of people were not too stupid and did not make a mistake like pulling the trigger accidentally. Otherwise, they would become the dinner of the Death Claw.
"We're just passing by! Please believe us, we're not hostile! "
"….. Not hostile?"
The militia held their rifles and looked at the woman in front of them, then at the silent man standing not far away and the Death Claw behind him. They did not know what to do. They were not an organization like NCR or the Brotherhood of Iron and Steel. This was just an ordinary settlement in the wasteland, and they were just residents here. Although these militia had participated in battles before, it was usually to protect themselves from the attacks of bandits and robbers. But this man with a Death Claw ….
They didn't know what to do. They could only turn their heads and look at a middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader here.
Feeling the gaze of his companions, the middle-aged man sucked in a breath of cold air. Although he usually thought that he was handsome as the self-proclaimed town sheriff, he wasn't handsome at all now.
However, he still braced himself and walked over to the woman.
"What do you want?"
"We just hope to spend the night here."
Carter explained helplessly. Ever since Fangzheng adopted the Death Claw, their journey had not been smooth. This was normal. If it was Carter, he would never let a Death Claw enter their town. However, this was not a problem that Fangzheng cared about. He just left all the work of negotiating with others to Kate, and he just stood there idly, yawning or listening to the radio.
"Stay the night?"
The sheriff was speechless as he looked at the Death Claw. The latter glared at him viciously. The murderous intent in its cold, pitch-black eyes almost made the sheriff wet his pants.
"But what's with that Death Claw ….?"
At that moment, Fangzheng spoke.
"This is not a Death Claw."
"…. It's not?"
Hearing this, the sheriff was taken aback. He stared at the monster in front of him in surprise. Although he had never seen a Death Claw, he had heard about the most ferocious and terrifying monster in the wasteland. But … if this was not a Death Claw, then what was it? Was it a new mutant monster?
"Then it is ….?"
"It's a dog."
"….??"
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, the sheriff felt like there was something wrong with his ears.
"Sorry, sir, what did you say it was?"
"A dog."
While saying that, Fangzheng looked at the Death Claw behind him.
"Dog Meat, sit down."
"… Ugh."
Hearing Fangzheng's order, the Death Claw immediately lost its temper and sat on the ground obediently.
"Roll."
"… Ugh."
"I told you to roll."
Fangzheng kicked the Death Claw. The latter hesitated for a moment, then finally lay on the ground and rolled on the ground.
"Sit properly."
He got up and sat properly again.
"Look, it's a good dog."
Fangzheng clapped his hands and looked at the dumbfounded sheriff.
"It's a little disobedient sometimes, but it's okay. Don't worry, it won't bite."
"…."
Are you f * cking kidding me!!?
For a moment, the sheriff wanted to curse, but his instinctive desire to survive forced him to shut his mouth. Although he was only the sheriff of a wasteland settlement with less than 30 people, he also knew that a man who could make a Death Claw obedient was completely different from those damn bandits outside.
"You and your companions can come in."
In the end, the sheriff decided to take a step back. He remembered reading from a book that if you take a step back, you'll see the world …. Who said that?
"But this Death Claw …."
"Dog."
"No, this …."
"Dog."
As Fangzheng spoke, he patted the Death Claw's lowered head and stared at the sheriff in front of him.
"… Well, this dog of yours … it …"
"It won't bite."
"… Okay, please come in."
In the end, the sheriff gave in to the evil forces.
Fortunately, Fangzheng said that they only wanted to find an empty house that could shelter them from the wind and rain for the night. They did not intend to stay for long, which made the sheriff somewhat relieved. The town they were in originally had a population of hundreds of people, so of course there were a lot of houses — — or rather, the current wasteland did not have the crisis of soaring housing prices at all. There were more houses than people. Of course, you don't have to look forward too much to the infrastructure inside.
So the sheriff brought Fangzheng and the others to a house at the edge of the town, signaled them to use it, and then left in a hurry.
Fangzheng asked the Death Claw to keep watch outside while he went into the house. Kate was currently walking back and forth in the house, searching everywhere.
"Ah, Mr. Fangzheng, look, I found a light bulb, it's still working! And this radio, there are still a few intact parts in it!! "
When Fangzheng walked into the house, he saw Kate running out excitedly with a dismantled radio in her arms. After the nuclear war, people's demand for electronic equipment had dropped a lot. On one hand, most people did not have the knowledge in this area, and on the other hand, these useless things were far less attractive than a gun.
But it was completely different for Kate. She grew up in a fallout shelter, so she was much more familiar with electronic equipment than the residents of the wasteland. She was also very hands-on. Now, basically everywhere Kate went, she would enthusiastically search for all kinds of electronic equipment and circuit boards left there. According to her, Kate planned to use these to make a Beep Boy ….
Fangzheng naturally did not care about this, but ….
"You haven't forgotten that you're looking for your brother and sister, right?"
Looking at Kate, who was dismantling the shell of the radio and taking off all the usable electronic parts, Fangzheng silently reminded her. He found that Kate's enthusiasm for collecting garbage was unusually high. Basically, every time she came to a building, she would go in and search for some useless things, so much so that Fangzheng even suspected that she had forgotten her main purpose.
"Of, of course not."
Hearing Fangzheng's question, Kate stopped what she was doing.
"Of course I remember …."
"That's good, continue."
Fangzheng lampooned silently before walking straight into the bedroom and closing the door behind him. As for Kite, she stared at the tightly shut door for a moment before lowering her head again. She continued struggling with the old radio in her hands.
Just like that, the night passed.
Early the next morning, Fangzheng and Kate were "escorted" to the gate by the heavily armed militia. Seeing that they were ready to leave, the town sheriff breathed a sigh of relief. Last night, he didn't sleep at all. He just stared at the hut outside, for fear that the Death Claw would suddenly attack. Fortunately, the Death Claw had no intention of moving at all. Instead, it lay outside the hut all night.
As long as they were fine.
Next, as long as they sent this group of pests away, they could return to their daily lives.
Unfortunately, the chief officer's thoughts were too optimistic.
Just as he was about to "send" this group of people away, suddenly, a man rushed into the town gate, panting. His clothes were ragged and covered in blood.
"Legion! Legion! Legion is here!! They attacked Green Shade Town and are now coming here!! Run!! "
While shouting, the man waved his hands, but when he turned his head and saw the Death Claw staring at him in front of him, the man's eyes rolled back and he fainted on the spot.
The sheriff didn't care about the man. On the contrary, he became nervous at the moment.
Legion!!
For a gathering place like them who struggled to survive alone on the wasteland without any backing, the legion could be regarded as the most terrifying enemy! They were like locusts, burning and looting everywhere. Every time they came to a gathering place, they would kill all the rebels, turn the survivors into slaves and take them away. At the same time, they would completely burn everything there with a fire — — they were much more terrifying than the Death Claw!
At this moment, a series of gunshots rang out, completely breaking the peace and silence of the town.
