Infinite Stream Metaverse

Chapter 255 Boss Zhao
Fu Qinghai and the others followed the eyeball robot to the tallest and largest building in the center of the town.

There is a constant stream of people coming and going here, and its excitement is no less than that of a bar. When you get closer, you can see that the first floor of the original building is a gun shop.

Strictly speaking, an arms store.

After all, not everyone has spare money to go to the bar for entertainment. Surviving in the cruel doomsday wasteland is the real thing. It is not surprising that the business here is better than the bar.

The three of Fu Qinghai stepped into it, and the first thing they put in the display cabinet were several sets of power armor from Radiant Universe, ranging from T-45 to T-60. The people at the table in the bar probably bought the arms uniformly. Power armor in the store.

Looking at the price next to the display cabinet, it was much more expensive than Fu Qinghai's assimilated power armor.

A proper black shop.

After thinking about it, I can understand that assimilation points are things outside the body, and reincarnation life is the priceless treasure. In the biochemical nuclear explosion wasteland full of radiation and viruses, a set of power armor is the best and most suitable equipment.

Someone next to him is introducing to the reincarnations that the arms store in Jacob Town provides rental services for them to choose from:

Because you spend points to buy power armor, you have to pay the main god for assimilation after leaving the reincarnation world, which is not worthwhile. If the reincarnation has no money or is unwilling to take this set of power armor, then return it to the arms store, the arms store Partial assimilation points will be refunded depending on the degree of wear and tear of the power armor.

Renovate, recycle.

Quite business-minded, worthy of being Chinese.

In addition to power armor, there are also a variety of wasteland weapons full of patchwork modification styles, ranging from small melee weapons such as knives and gloves to large pistols, rifles, submachine guns, landmines, rocket grenades, laser weapons and electromagnetic coil weapons.

Only plasma weapons are not sold.

There's always something special, isn't there?

There are too many people here, the environment is noisy, bargaining between buyers and sellers, reincarnators discussing uses and discussing to collect money... The relatively rare weapons have even developed to the point where they need to be auctioned on the spot.

The three of Fu Qinghai squeezed through the crowd and followed the eyeball robot to the second floor. The second floor obviously belonged to the office of the town's official staff. There were terminals and printers here, as well as busy clerks. They seemed to know Fu Qinghai's third floor. When people want to come, they still immerse themselves in the affairs at hand.

A blond woman in a white shirt and hip skirt came over, spread her hands gracefully, and said to Fu Qinghai:
"Welcome, sir. Boss Zhao is already waiting for your arrival on the third floor. Please follow me."

Everyone took a special elevator to the third floor.

Except for the fully armed bodyguards, there were not so many idlers waiting here. The three of them were arranged to sit on the old sofa, with coffee and hot tea in front of them.

The office door opened, and with the sound of heavy footsteps and the soft sound of armor colliding, a tall figure wrapped in power armor came out.

"Hello, Space Marine."

Familiar hoarse voice.

It turned out that he was the one who talked to Fu Qinghai on the radio station.

"Hello, Master of Jacob Town."

Fu Qinghai sized up the visitor.

The power armor on his body is different from the model sold in the arms store on the first floor. It is always a weapon for personal use and will not appear in the arms market.

X01 power armor is the best mass-produced power armor in the Fallout series. In addition to inheriting the advantages of the previous T-starting power armors such as nuclear power, fully enclosed, and internal circulation, the biggest improvement is that it is immune to EMP electronic pulse attacks.

In the background story of radiation, a certain country’s "humanoid tank" project was successfully developed. It once turned the tide of the battle and even tried to counterattack the opponent. As a result, the soldiers wearing T-series power armor were directly wiped out by the opponent's electronic pulse weapon when they crossed the river. Facing this problem, the military immediately began to improve it. As a result, when the Enclave finally developed the X01, the first power armor of the X series, the war was already "over".

"I should have invited you here when you first came to Jacob's Town. Forgive me, we are poor and small, and the information is poor. It took me a long time to figure out what is Warhammer 40K and what is Warhammer [-]. It's a space fighter."

The other party slowly sat down in front of Fu Qinghai.

The words carried the unique self-humility of Chinese people.

The reincarnation forces that can occupy the entire Radiation Basin to do business can't be called "poor and small".

Fu Qinghai took off his helmet and said in Chinese:

"You are too polite, Boss Zhao."

There is no need to hide it, the owner of the town must know every move of the three of them in the bar, including their original appearance.

"Haha, I am also very happy to meet my compatriots here. Come and drink some hot tea. The radiant and aged Pu'er has very local characteristics."

The other party also switched to Chinese, with a little warmth in his hoarse voice.

The only strange thing is that he never took off his helmet.

Fu Qinghai didn't urge, nor did he use clairvoyance or force perception to find out the real face of the other party, but started chatting with the other party on this topic.

"Speaking of which, I still have a lot of questions about Jacob Town, and I hope Boss Zhao can answer them for me."

"You don't hesitate to say it, as long as Zhao can say it, he knows everything he can say, and he can say everything."

……

Through some in-depth conversations, Fu Qinghai had a general understanding of the situation in the northern part of the mainland.

This basin, a masterpiece of nuclear bomb rain, is called "Sea of ​​Glowing", but Fu Qinghai guessed it right.

Although it is called "sea", it is actually relatively dry. It refers to the large amount of residual radioactive substances here, like a glowing ocean.

Although the strong radiation can't kill the biochemical zombies, it can make the zombie monsters in it feel uncomfortable, so this vast basin can avoid the disturbance of viruses and zombies to a certain extent, and become a gathering place for reincarnated people.

Zhao Jianming, Boss Zhao, came here from the radiation universe many years ago, and discovered the commercial value contained in it——

Provides a shelter and supply depot for reincarnations tormented by the Resident Evil movie universe.

The unique technology and way of survival of the radiation universe, especially for the environment of the doomsday wasteland, may not be very effective in the normal reincarnation world, but it is very suitable in this radiation basin.

So he dropped the anchor of the world.

They also moved the entire reincarnation community here.

"Boss Zhao, I don't understand. The Glowing Sea has its special features, but the Resident Evil movie universe is already a reincarnation world without any plot lines and major events. No matter how much money is made, the development potential is not as good as that of Radiation. Universe?"

Fu Qinghai raised his own doubts.

"Oh, Qingshan, you don't know something."

Zhao Jianming said with a sigh.

"I'm a Chinese, but the place of descent in the radiation universe is the North American continent, the Enclave Organization, the Brotherhood of Steel, the New California Republic, Caesar's Legion... It is very difficult to survive in the cracks of these indigenous forces in the reincarnation world. Radiation The universe is not like the Marvel main universe, where there are a large number of reincarnators. As long as there is a choice, who wants to live in the wasteland?"

"But what I know best is the Fallout series of games."

Zhao Jianming spread his hands helplessly.

The background setting of the radiation series, like Warhammer 40K, overlaps with the historical development process of the real world, and then begins to go overhead at a certain time period.

The plot of Warhammer 40K, starting from 011.M02, that is, 2011 AD, went in a different direction-the beginning of the second new era.

The background story of the radiation series, in short, is that the two superpowers fought a nuclear war, and they fought to the point where they died together, turning the earth into a doomsday wasteland.

Although the nuclear war destroyed all the countries in the world, national consciousness and national consciousness were also destroyed together, but after all, he was once one of the two warring parties. Zhao Jianming, a Chinese, must not be easy to mix in the North American continent.

But Fu Qinghai was still slightly puzzled.

He observes the level of technology in Jacobtown.

Unlike the Wieland Yugu company in the Alien Universe, the scientific research power in the radiation universe is more like the Resident Evil game universe, scattered in the hands of different organizations. The scientific research organizations before the war include: shelters Technology, Poseidon Energy, Repcon Aerospace, Roboco Industries, and a whole lot more.

The Enclave was the shadow government of a certain country before the war, and it was also the most powerful organization after the war. Zhao Jianming claimed to know the Fallout series of games, and even got the latest model of power armor developed by the Enclave. Is this still a problem?
The Enclave believes in pure human beings, wasteland residents who reject radiation mutations and virus mutations, so it's not impossible to join in.

Fu Qinghai didn't speak, but the expression on his face already expressed his doubts.

Zhao Jianming looked at this expression and said helplessly:
"You know more about radiation than I thought, I can't hide it from you."

He slowly took off the helmet.

An ugly face that seemed to be severely burned was revealed.

The nose is a hollow with flesh around it.

"Ghouls?"

Fu Qinghai said in surprise.

Zhao Jianming turned out to be a ghoul.

Ghouls have nothing to do with virus infection. They are creatures that some humans have been exposed to for a long time due to excessive radiation. They are divided into two categories: rational ghouls and wild ghouls. The difference is whether they have normal thinking or not.

Due to the effects of radiation, the skin and hair of ghouls look like burn patients. At the same time, their facial organs, usually noses, have also fallen off, and their vocal cords are also hoarse due to the effects of radiation—no wonder Zhao Jianming’s voice is so powerful. "resolution".

Sure enough, the wasteland is not so easy to mix.

Fu Qinghai finally understood now.

The brains of sane ghouls are the same as those of ordinary people. However, due to the influence of some horror movies before the war, and some sane ghouls will occasionally turn into wild ghouls, most wasteland residents always treat sane ghouls With a repulsive attitude, few wastelanders embrace them rather than see them as monsters.

This is the real reason why Zhao Jianming can't get along.

"In the early days of my advent, due to the lack of radiation-resistant equipment, I suffered a lot of radiation. Later, I drank nuclear private brew, and when I woke up, I became a ghoul."

Zhao Jianming's tone was flat.

As if talking about something ordinary.

Jiang Yixia showed sympathy.

Not only the rejection of the surrounding humans, I am afraid that it will take a long time and a big heart to accept my ugly appearance.

"Sorry, I don't know..."

Before Fu Qinghai finished speaking, Zhao Jianming raised his hand to interrupt:
"No need to apologize, since I want to make friends, I should have shown my true colors to others from the very beginning, and concealed it. On the contrary, it would appear that I, Mr. Zhao, are not upright enough. Haha, replace wine with tea, and punish myself with a cup."

He poured himself a drink, then smiled and said:

"Once I accepted this identity, I found that things are not so bad. The nervous system of ghouls is completely different from that of humans. No matter how many strengthening potions I take, I will not be addicted. In addition, there are special effects of longevity, self-healing and immunity to radiation. ability, if not for the infertility, I would even like it a little bit."

Fu Qinghai nodded.

I was a little surprised by this man.

It is not easy to accept being a monster, especially a reincarnation with three lives. Zhao Jianming not only accepts it frankly, but also assimilates the blood of this ghoul in the end.

Of course, Fu Qinghai also knew that Zhao Jianming's overtures to him were not just because he was his compatriot. There were other reincarnated people with Chinese appearance in the bar, and Boss Zhao had not met him specially.

The other party must have spent a lot of effort to inquire about his own background, knowing the power of Warhammer 40K and Space Marines, so he showed such a frank and enthusiastic appearance.

Nothing wrong with that.

Fu Qinghai said in his heart that I was much stronger than ordinary space fighters, and Leman Rustank was not his biggest reliance. The people in the tank were actually better at fighting than the tank.

After clearing up the doubts in his heart, Fu Qinghai turned the topic to the reward task in the bar, and said:

"Boss Zhao, since we've already cut to the chase, let's talk about that Deadpool. I'm quite interested in the tasks in it."

Zhao Jianming waved his hand and said:
"The reward task is open to everyone, including you. I have promised you that you can enjoy the same treatment as other reincarnations. Once the task is completed, the points will be fully distributed. Honesty is the foundation of our foundation. I will definitely not break my promise."

Fu Qinghai said:
"I want more specific information, Boss Zhao."

Fu Qinghai's eyes were quite meaningful:
"Because as far as I know, whether super mutants, pyrite or corporals, they are not original things in the Resident Evil movie universe..."

Zhao Jianming hesitated and said:

"Well, to tell you the truth, the first mission actually has something to do with me."

"The group of super mutants occupying the southeast valley is actually one of my former subordinates. Later, because of the distribution of benefits, he broke up with me and led his group of super mutant brothers to leave the society."

"They blocked several passages from Jacob's Town to the outside of the basin. The reincarnated people outside couldn't get in, the town's business was difficult to do, and the reincarnated people inside couldn't get out, and they arrested them everywhere. The reincarnated people are forced to inject the FEV virus, turning the reincarnated people into one of them, so as to expand their strength."

Fu Qinghai asked:
"Do those green skins have a lot of weapons in their hands? I think the town's armed forces are quite abundant. It shouldn't be difficult to wipe out a gang of bandits, right?"

Zhao Jianming chuckled and said:

"Qingshan, I don't know if you have your own club or not. You'll understand when you get to my position. It's not easy to lead when the team is big. After all, they are old brothers from the past, but now they have to fight each other, and they can't kill them. , I can only use other people's hands to clean up the door."

Insincere.

Fu Qinghai thought to himself.

Why are you still posting missions when you really can't do anything?
Fu Qinghai suspected that it was probably because many of Zhao Jianming's subordinates had sympathy for the former teammates who had left the club, so it was inconvenient for Zhao Jianming to personally destroy them.

Who is doing things unreasonably?

Fu Qinghai did not delve into it, but asked:

"What about the corpse monster and the lich?"

"That guy, that's an outsider. I don't know why he dropped the anchor of the world here. In short, he refuses to talk about it, or refuses to leave. He uses some kind of necromancer magic to control corpses. The queen of the radiated corpse monster has controlled it, and indirectly controls the entire corpse group, occupying the mountain as king."

Zhao Jianming waved his hand and said indifferently:
"The main reason is that that guy will keep resurrecting. It is very troublesome to be resurrected after death, and our town lacks the means to deal with spirits and magic, so I want to ask other reincarnations for help to see if there is a way to restrain magic. "

"That's it, I know."

Fu Qinghai nodded, expressing his understanding.

What I thought was:

Boss Zhao, I'm asking about the corpse monster and the lich. Lich, you explained to me, where the corpse virus came from, you haven't said yet...

But Fu Qinghai neither asked nor rushed to complete the reward task now. Instead, he chatted with Zhao Jianming about what he saw and heard in the town.

Fu Qinghai said:
"I saw two flying motorcycles from the Star Wars universe in the parking lot outside the town."

"Hey, those are two unowned motorcycles. If you like them, I can sell them to you at a discount."

Zhao Jianming waved his hand generously and said.

"Oh, how should I say it?"

Fu Qinghai showed a look of wishing to hear more about it.

Zhao Jianming explained:

"Three young men from the Star Wars universe came to the town on a flying motorcycle some time ago. They bragged to everyone in the tavern, but they were amazing. They kept talking about Star Wars being awesome and invincible. Spices, killed white soldiers in Skako, in short, have seen the world."

"In summary, there is a core logic: Star Wars is a galaxy-level IP, while Resident Evil is only an Earth-level IP, so Resident Evil is rubbish, and it's not as good as Star Wars anywhere."

"and then?"

Fu Qinghai asked.

Zhao Jianming pouted:
"When my patrol team found them in the desert outside the basin, the three of them had turned into three zombies wandering in the desert. The flying motorcycle was parked beside it, but no one was driving it, so my people took The motorcycle came back."

"It looks like he was bitten by a zombie and was trying to rush to the town, but the virus broke out halfway and turned into a zombie, so he could only wander around in the desert."

Zhao Jianming shook his head:
"The ignorant are fearless."

Fu Qinghai nodded in agreement:
"really."

Fu Qinghai thinks that he has been able to make it to the present, except for the rich knowledge brought by his extensive hunting during his work and fishing, the rest is a heart of awe.

A great truth that has been told badly.

The more you know, the more you feel your ignorance.

And the more ignorant people are, the more fearless they are.

For things he doesn't understand, Fu Qinghai has always maintained vigilance and awe, because he doesn't understand the anime "Fullmetal Alchemist", so he didn't plan to let Lauster on board at the beginning, it was based on this vigilance psychology.

"alright."

After talking here, I feel that there is nothing to talk about. Fu Qinghai stood up and said to Zhao Jianming:

"Those two flying motorcycles are too small. I'm not interested. Boss Zhao can keep them for himself."

"As for the reward task... just leave it to me."

Zhao Jianming nodded, got up to see off the guests:

"I wish you a triumphant return. I'll wait for your good news, Qingshan."
