Chapter 62: Familiar Community
I really admire this man in white from the bottom of my heart. Judging from his reaction, it’s not that “fear projection” didn’t work on him, but that he overcame his inner fear and subconscious commands.
"There's no point in you two negotiating here. Let me be clear. We're not from the Brotherhood of Steel, nor do we belong to any particular faction. We're just two ordinary people who were unfortunately infected and wanted to find a place to stay together and survive. But your people stole our supplies."
I explained half-truthfully.
The man in white suddenly chuckled. "Not a member of the Brotherhood of Steel? That's just fine. Why not join us? Let me introduce myself. My name is Bai Zang, the founder of the Black Dragon Gang."
Jiang Wang glanced at me and didn't say anything, but his eyes were giving me crazy hints.
…
In fact, although the whole plan deviated from the original one, it was a blessing in disguise. Only by finding Jiang Wang can we join the Brotherhood of Steel, and the Black Dragon Gang is not that important to us at this time.
Before I could say anything, the other members of the Brotherhood of Steel who had been standing at the back came forward.
"no."
The man in white frowned impatiently and said, "I didn't ask you."
The Brotherhood of Steel was originally an organization spontaneously formed by a group of people who accidentally awakened their abilities. Later, more and more people with special abilities joined, and it began to grow in size. The reason why they were so arrogant was that they were sure that other forces did not have people with special abilities.
If the Black Dragon Gang also had someone with special abilities, this kind of "uniqueness" would no longer exist.
Apparently, the Brotherhood of Steel seems unaware of the existence of several other forces that also have people with superpowers.
Although the Apocalypse Sect acts in an extreme way, they are very cautious. Apart from the members who are accidentally contacted, the outside world is almost unaware of the existence of such a sect. Moreover, they still have the containment objects in their hands, and are completely not on the same level as the Brotherhood of Steel.
The Bureau of Anomalous Investigations itself is an official force, and it is legally and reasonably hidden. It is even more secretive than the Apocalypse Sect, so it is normal that no one knows about it.
As you can imagine, an organization like the Brotherhood of Steel is a mess internally.
And the attitudes of these two people also made me very angry.
Obviously, Song Nanxing thought the same thing. Seeing the two people arguing endlessly, he couldn't help but interrupt and said, "That's enough. After all this arguing, have you asked us, the parties involved, for our opinions?"
Jiang Wang also felt that something was not right. He turned his head and said to his two companions, "Waste time here is not a solution. We should not force them. We should ask for their opinions."
As he said that, he turned around and looked at me and Song Nanxing: "What do you think?"
"Me? I just want to find a safe place to have a good sleep." Song Nanxing folded his hands, looking indifferent.
Now the question was thrown directly at me. I looked at him with gritted teeth, and when I turned around, I met Jiang Wang's eyes.
"I'm sorry, Bai Zang, he and I are friends." I pointed at Jiang Wang and said to Bai Zang.
Surprisingly, Bai Zang didn't try to stop them. He just smiled nonchalantly and said, "I'm not forcing you. Whatever you choose is up to you, but you have to repair the wall for me, or none of you can leave."
As he spoke, he pointed to the hole blown up by the rocket launcher and the fallen iron gate.
Because it was night, no one dared to cause trouble. Even though some of the Iron Brothers were dissatisfied, they could only suppress their anger and move stones to repair the wall.
Such a scene seemed funny no matter how you looked at it, but due to the fog, no one dared to act rashly, so they could only start moving stones and mixing mud in the middle of the night with their own thoughts. Everyone cooperated with each other in a subtle and weird way.
After working for most of the night until the sky turned gray, the poor wall and gate were barely repaired. Although the gate was now standing, it was shaky.
I was extremely sleepy at this point, and the others weren't much better off.
"Or, come back with us first. We have plenty of places to stay anyway," Jiang Wang suggested.
As luck would have it, I was already exhausted, so I nodded in agreement, but before that...
"Wait a moment." I said.
"how?"
I glanced at the motorcycle I had stolen earlier, which was parked not far away, and walked straight over.
Song Nanxing looked at me with a stifled smile, then followed and said, "Hey, remember to take me with you!"
Seeing Song Nanxing and I get in the car, Jiang Wang turned around and drove their SUV over. When passing by me, he rolled down the window and made a "keep up" gesture to me.
Just like that, our group left the Black Dragon Gang's stronghold in such an awkward and delicate atmosphere.
Dragging our tired bodies, we drove all the way to the Steel Brothers' base. Surprisingly, they had built their base in a small community in the city.
Not only that, I am so familiar with this place - it is the community where I used to live.
Seeing that I was a little surprised, Jiang Wang shrugged and whispered to me: "I don't know what they think, and I remember that I first met you around here."
"My home is nearby." I replied in a low voice.
As I said this, I subconsciously looked up at the top of one of the apartments. I still remember clearly the "person" who crawled down from the dark window of my house when I jumped out of the window to escape.
Although such a monster no longer poses any threat to me now, the thought of the bloodshot eye in the cat's eye and the way it climbed down the wall of the building left a great psychological shadow on me at that time.
Looking at this building, in just one month, I am no longer afraid of that kind of monster, and I feel a lot of emotions at the moment.
"Is that window your home?" Jiang Wang followed my gaze and asked.
I nodded, a little doubtfully, "Is your base located in this neighborhood?"
"yes."
The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Suddenly I wanted to meet the leader of the "Brotherhood of Steel". I wonder what kind of clever guy would set up a base in the original downtown area.
You have to know that this area suffered the most damage at the beginning and had the most monsters. It can't be that it was built specifically for fighting monsters.
Thinking of this, I was suddenly stunned. Maybe they really wanted to fight monsters.
Based on what I know now, there are only a few ways to upgrade your abilities.
The first is abnormal contact and secondary infection.
The second type is that everyone's physical condition is different. Some people can turn pollution into their own use, while others will lose control. When on the verge of losing control, there is a probability that they will mutate again and evolve new abilities.
"It's quite crazy." Song Nanxing, who had been silent on the side, commented sincerely.
