Chapter 2464 Intelligence



This was the first time Fang Zheng saw someone from the Legion.

I have to admit that compared to those bandits in the wasteland, the people in the legion obviously have more distinct characteristics.

They were not like other bandits, wearing ragged "armor", on the contrary, their clothes were worn out, but all in the style of Roman soldiers. They looked like regular soldiers, but of course, it would be too awkward to see a group of guys dressed as Roman soldiers shooting with guns.

At this moment, the town had already closed its gates and started to confront the other side. The sheriff shouted to call on others to pick up their guns and fight, and the firepower of the Legion was obviously more intense. Fang Zheng observed carefully for a while and found that this organization called the Legion was really quite capable. They were different from the ordinary bandits who were either stupid or reckless. These people knew how to cooperate with each other, and their equipment was more unified than that of ordinary bandits who used whatever they got.

Because of this, the town obviously cannot hold out for too long. Their current resistance is more like a dying struggle. In fact, Fang Zheng believes that when the town gate is breached, this gathering place will be doomed.

But...he hasn't paid the rent yet.

"It's your turn now. Go and bite them, leaving a few alive."

Fang Zheng patted Deathclaw's head and curled his lips at the group of legionnaires outside. The latter roared, then suddenly jumped up, jumped directly over the towering wall, and rushed into the legionnaires who were surrounding the town outside.

For those legion soldiers, they obviously did not expect to encounter a powerful Deathclaw in a small gathering place. When the huge black figure crossed the wall and rushed towards them, many soldiers were torn to pieces by the sharp claws of the Deathclaw before they could even react to what was happening.

A powerful Deathclaw is invincible.

If it were an energy weapon, it might be able to cause some damage to it, but the weapons used by the legion soldiers are almost all the simplest standard firearms and rifles. The advantage of these weapons is that they can be quickly produced in large quantities and recycled for repair. The disadvantage is naturally also obvious, that is, the firepower is obviously insufficient.

Of course, it is enough to deal with humans. After all, humans are not strong enough to resist bullets, and a bullet to the head will basically kill them.

But when it comes to dealing with a Deathclaw with a shell as strong as a heavy tank, they are powerless. Bullets strong enough to penetrate the head are no match for a small water gun in front of the Deathclaw's thick shell. Although the legionnaires also used explosives such as grenades, they still could not stop the Death Shadow from attacking and killing them.

In just a few minutes, the Death Claws turned into a hurricane and swept across the entire legion's position. Standing on the wall and watching the Death Claws killing crazily outside, the town sheriff couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He was now extremely fortunate to have made a wise decision last night, otherwise the town might not even see the sun this morning.

"We should go now."

Fang Zheng's voice sounded in his ears, scaring the town sheriff, but he quickly raised his hand and signaled his subordinates to open the door, while humbly thanking the man in front of him.

"Thank you for your help, sir. I really don't know how to thank you enough..."

"You're welcome. Just consider it as rent."

Fang Zheng waved his hand, and then took Kate out of the town. The town sheriff looked at the two people's backs and curled his lips, but in the end he turned back and started his work. Although the Legion's attack was repelled this time, since they launched the attack, it means that the Legion's sphere of influence has spread here. Now they must have a plan, either to surrender to NCR, or leave here and find a new base... After all, the next time the Legion's army attacks, they will not have a death claw to help them.

When Fang Zheng and Kate arrived at the battlefield, the battle was already over. Deathclaws were lying in front of a dying legionnaire, biting his body, while there were several people groaning nearby - it was obvious that they were not able to survive because of luck.

Watching the death claws gnawing at humans, Kate couldn't help but take a step back, while Fang Zheng glanced over there and then looked away.

"Okay, go and interrogate them and see if you can get some information about your brother from them."

"OK."

Kate nodded, then turned her head away, no longer looking at the eating scene, and strode to the legionnaires who were groaning and crying for their parents - the situation of these guys was not much better. Although the Deathclaw could understand Fang Zheng's request for it to "keep it alive", how to keep it alive was up to it.

After all, you can still survive even if you have broken legs and missing arms, right?

Kate was no longer the naive little girl in the shelter. She looked at the legionnaires in front of her, then grabbed one of them without hesitation, stared at him and started yelling.

"Tell me, you attacked a shelter a month ago and captured the people there. Where did you take them?"

"I, I don't know what shelter is! I don't know anything!!"

The legionnaire shook his head desperately and shouted loudly, but Fang Zheng just looked at him silently.

"That's useless. Use it to supplement my dog's meal."

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Kate grabbed the legionnaire and dragged him towards the Deathclaw. Seeing the monster gnawing at his companion's internal organs, the legionnaire screamed.

"No, no, let me go! I don't want to die! Damn it! I don't want to die! Yes, that's right, you are talking about those slaves, right? They were all sold! Really, I promise I am telling the truth!"

“Who did you sell it to?”

"I don't know. It's normal to buy and sell slaves in the legion, but I guarantee that someone knows..."

Kate stopped and looked at Fang Zheng, who just glanced at the soldier.

"He's lying."

Hearing this, Kate raised her hand without hesitation and threw the guy in front of the Deathclaw. Before the latter could react, he saw that the Deathclaw had already bitten off his neck.

"Don't try to trick me!!"

Kate put her hand on the handle of the gun and looked at the remaining legionnaires fiercely.

"Do you think we can't tell if you're lying? You're too naive! Your lies are not worth mentioning! If anyone dares to lie again, they'll end up like that bastard!!"

Kate was also troubled at first about how to interrogate these damn bastards, because she couldn't be sure whether they were lying to her. But Fang Zheng told her that he could tell whether they were telling the truth or lying. Kate didn't believe it at first, but after several experiments, she had to admit that this man did have a magical power. She even doubted whether Fang Zheng could see through other people's hearts.

Now Kate is increasingly suspicious that this man is not a human being, but a devil from hell or something. However... as long as she can find her relatives, what does it matter if she sells her soul to the devil?

This world has become hell anyway.

After Link sent two more extra meals to the Deathclaws, the third legionnaire finally broke down and revealed the information Kate wanted.

According to him, those slaves were taken to the legion's headquarters and interrogated by Caesar himself. As for her brother, the legionnaires said that there was indeed such a person among the slaves. Although he did not know the current situation of Kate's brother, according to the regulations of the legion, any slave joining the legion must be trained, especially those who are young and strong. Kate's brother is a boy and is likely to be sent to the legion for education so that he can become a member of the legion and serve Caesar.

After making sure that the legionnaire was telling the truth and then asking him about the legion's location, Kate shot and killed all the remaining wounded soldiers without hesitation, while Fang Zheng just sat on a rock nearby and watched her blow up those guys' heads one by one.

"What are you going to do now?"

Fang Zheng asked Kate as he saw her coming over. Kate seemed a little confused when she heard Fang Zheng's question.

"I want to save my brother, but... I don't know how."

Looking at the gun in her hand, Kate seemed helpless. Of course, she had learned about the legion's base from the captives. Hundreds of elite fighters and thousands of soldiers were stationed there. Caesar himself was also a powerful existence. The guards around him also possessed terrifying and terrible firepower. To be honest, it was really difficult to rescue her brother from them.

Or rather, it's simply impossible.

"You still want to go?"

"Of course, I must rescue my brother. He is my family, and... I will not let that damn legion go."

Kate clenched her fists tightly when she said this. She would never forget the day when the shelter was captured. On that day, her little world was completely destroyed, and replaced by a new world full of death and radiation. She didn't care who these people were, what their ideals were, what their beliefs were, they destroyed their homeland, and they had to pay the price.

Fang Zheng looked at her with interest and then asked.

"What are you going to do?"

“…”

This time, Kate was speechless. She only had a pistol in her hand. Although she had good skills and was very good at stealth, and could make some guns and parts, that was all. She alone could not fight against an entire legion anyway.

"I... maybe I can sneak in, find my brother, and then lead him out quietly."

This is the most feasible solution Kate can think of, and she is confident in her stealth skills.

However, once she was discovered, she would face a devastating disaster.

"Then you can try it."

Fang Zheng nodded.

"I'll be waiting here for you for five days. If you need any help, you can use this."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng took out a flare and threw it over.

"This is?"

"When you are in danger, point it to the sky and pull the line below, it can save your life."

Fang Zheng did not intend to help. He wanted to see what this "protagonist" would do. After all, the protagonists in the Fallout games that Fang Zheng had played basically all had the ability to kill a bunch of people single-handedly.

If I remember correctly, the protagonist in Fallout 2 directly blew up the Enclave headquarters.

Fang Zheng felt that the girl in front of him also had this qualification.

"I...I understand."

After taking the flare, Kate's expression was somewhat complicated. She glanced at the Death Claw not far away. It seemed that for a moment, she hoped Fang Zheng could help. But in the end, Kate gritted her teeth, nodded at Fang Zheng and smiled.

"Thank you, sir. I will definitely come back with my brother!"

"I hope so."

Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders, and then saw Kate turn around and walk into the depths of the Gobi Desert alone. Soon, her figure disappeared in the wind and sand.

At the same time, a pair of white arms stretched out from behind Fang Zheng and hugged his neck.

"Master, are you really not going to help?"

Restia leaned against Fang Zheng's back curiously and asked with a smile, while Fang Zheng shrugged.

"If she asks me, I will help, but if she decides to do it herself, then I have nothing to say. Besides..."

"What's more?"

"If she's here, I won't be able to sleep with you guys."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng turned his head and looked at Restia who was smiling behind him.

"Tonight, we can finally have a good rest."
