Chapter 79: A Town Surrounded by Poison Gas
Just like the city of New Vegas, built around "Lucky 38", "Sin City", "Super Beautiful" and "Shanghaojia", it is composed of small towns around "Madrey Casino", including houses, shops, public facilities and other buildings, and these pre-war buildings are still relatively intact.
However, this place did not become a paradise for the wasteland people, and it was even worse than the outer city of Vegas, which had been attacked by war and became a pile of rubble, because the reddish-brown smoke was floating here and rejected all creatures. According to Fox, these smoke "had the smell of copper", "burn your lungs", and "infiltrate your skin". According to God's perspective, this was a heavy metal-like poison gas developed by a major American businessman before the war.
It seems that because the reddish-brown poison gas is much heavier than the air, and the Madre Casino and this town are built in the valley, these poison gases have not dissipated for two hundred years like the leftovers accumulated at the bottom of the bowl... However, perhaps it is the effect of time, or perhaps there is not much disturbance from the valley by natural wind, these poison gases are not evenly distributed in the entire town, and most of them are quietly and scattered in the form of smoke.
Even so, the town's "clean air" still has thin poison gas, and the air quality is very bad, but the air in Beijing is so poor, but a bunch of people are rushing into it to become the people at the foot of the emperor? Therefore, Fox did not intend to abandon Leeds and others. He just needed to avoid the poisonous fog and move forward.
As for Leeds and the others? We have power armor! We are not invasive of all poisons!
…Okay, kidding, the air filter system of power armor cannot be useful for all poison gases, especially when you come to another world and encounter a special "poison gas from another world". However, these reddish-brown poisonous fogs are at least the technology of the United States before the war, and Incredley has completely inherited that technology. As Incredley's most advanced power armor, it is very normal for the x-02 to deal with this type of poison gas.
In this way, this poisonous gas that looked very dangerous, but in fact only Fox felt that the little troublesome one could not become a level for Leeds and others. They kept going to the center of the valley. The terrain suddenly raised, giving people a casino that "the architectural style is a casino, but the momentum is like a castle."
Then,
[Why did Incred's soldiers appear on the West Coast?!] When passing by a fountain, a projector suddenly opened. An image of a white-haired old man appeared above the pillar in the center of the fountain - just holographic projection technology. I have seen it in the Assassin's World Leeds, nothing is surprising.
"...Well, this one was stolen from Incree's soldiers. In a sense, I am from the Iron Brotherhood camp." Leeds thought for a while. The Western Brotherhood's reputation seemed to be much better than Incree's. To add, "I mean the Iron Brotherhood of the East Coast."
[Irving Ryan’s subordinates...?] The white-haired old man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He was still nervous even though he only heard the first half of the sentence... Did he have a grudge against the Western Iron Brotherhood, or was he infected by Elder Ryan’s personal charm more than ten years ago?
"Well, it's a bit different from that..." Leeds doesn't want to be someone's younger brother for no reason. "It doesn't matter who we are. We are here to grab gold. Old man, don't stop us if you don't want to die... I don't think you are over two hundred years old!"
If he had lived in some way for more than two hundred years like Mr. House, he would probably be the owner of this Madre Casino. The gold reserves here are probably his legal property, and it would be a bit unreasonable to grab them. If he had not the ability to live for hundreds of years, these golds would be the ones he had found first. If he had snatched them, he would have no psychological pressure!
[Hmph, the brotherhood has members like you, how could Ryan be the elder!] The old man on the holographic image said angrily.
"It's nothing to do with you... And no matter what Elder Ryan does, he will not put hypnotic gas at the entrance for no reason. After putting down others, he put an explosive collar on him as a slave." Although he had never experienced this incident, he could probably guess that the body and the hypnotic gases.
"Although I don't know who you are," I don't want to know who he is. "We are interested in now. You old man should just lie in bed and sleep when you have nothing to do." Leeds grabbed the Gauss rifle behind him and aimed at the projector of the holographic image.
[Wait, Madre Casino has a special design. Without my help, you can't even enter the gate-]
(Bang-!) The projector, along with the concrete blocks that installed it, turned into debris under the blow of a Gaussian rifle.
"—Sorry, I don't need a key to open the door." Leeds replied lightly, not knowing whether the old man who spoke like a big man from the Iron Brotherhood just now could hear it.
"What if it's a gate made of obsidian?" Lyon, who took out the Gauss rifle, quipped, "We don't have a diamond pickaxe."
"Then I will unlock a bunch of hairpins for you. If you break a hairpin, I will cut off a jj for your encouragement." Leeds said angrily.
"I only have one!" Is the complaint here?
"...Isn't the mc system incompletely disabled? After being interrupted, it grows back after eating bread." Clausa raised her fist and said coldly.
"God, even Claus has become like this..." Lyon said helplessly.
"Hahaha! My friends, did you like to make fun of this before you fight?" Fox carried the laser Gatlin and pointed it at the enemy who was leaning over.
Yes, it was probably because Leeds's shot was too loud, alarming the "residents" living in the town. Now a bunch of guys who looked unnatural slowly approached with a surround.
Perhaps this Madrey Casino has many secrets, just like some members of the White Gloves Gang in New Vegas intend to eat human flesh. Maybe this was a refuge built by a large businessman before the war to make a tragedy caused by grudges and revenge.
Perhaps the people who are active in Madrey Casino are also very special. Just as Mr. Postman has made the choice of where to smash the nuclear bomb or sacrificing his own robot to destroy the launch device. Maybe the old man who showed up just now is the former elder of the Western Iron Brotherhood. Because he could not accept the defeat in fighting with the NCR, he is looking for the secret revenge of the poisonous fog here.
Perhaps the monsters wandering in Madrey Casino are also very special. Just like the super mutants, they are actually public enemies of humans created by some people who capture wasteland vagrants and inject the Fev virus. Maybe the movements surrounding these people now are strange. Humans wearing protective suits similar to diving suits are mutants infected with red poisonous fog. They won't even simply get a bento after being shot.
There are many secrets in the world, and it will be exhausted to explore them one by one. This time, it seems that everyone does not have much desire for knowledge about these secrets-
