Chapter 419 Blues
Chapter 419 Blues
Yi Beiwang opened his eyes and found himself on a modern street. The surrounding buildings and clean environment made him feel a little uncomfortable, but he quickly realized that he seemed to be having a strange dream again.
This seems to be the place where I lived before I traveled through time. It’s been so long, why can I still dream about it?
Generally speaking, you will wake up when you realize you are dreaming, so how come I can still continue dreaming?
He looked up at where he lived and found that it had been blown to pieces. The power was just right, and only that house was blown up.
There were many people watching downstairs, and people from the fire brigade came to put out the fire. The police were also evacuating the onlookers and maintaining order.
Yi Beiwang found an old man and asked, "Uncle, what's the situation over there? How many people died?"
The old man replied mysteriously, "Let me tell you, it was said that the people who shared the apartment upstairs were doing something, and it suddenly exploded. I heard that the fire department even detected nuclear radiation there."
"If you ask me, it must be that those young people play with computers too much and spend their days doing nothing but doing weird experiments."
"But what's strange is that none of the five people who shared the house have their bodies found. We don't know if they were blown to ashes. They have been declared missing."
Haha, uncle, you guessed it right, I really was obsessed with playing computer games.
But it’s really strange. The computer is just an ordinary computer. How can it detect nuclear radiation?
And my roommates were also playing on the computer at the time. Were they affected by me?
Yi Beiwang sighed and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly he saw a strange person in the crowd.
The man was disheveled and wearing a white coat stained with blood. He looked like a white foreigner, but it was a pity that his face could not be seen clearly.
There was nothing strange about the appearance of a foreigner here, but what horrified Yi Beiwang was that there was an Enclave badge on the foreigner's white coat.
Holy shit, the Enclave is attacking?!
Yi Beiwang hurriedly walked through the crowd, wanting to see what the foreigner looked like, but a gust of wind blew him shut and he could only vaguely hear what the foreigner seemed to say, but he couldn't hear it clearly.
When he opened his eyes again, the dream was over and he was back in this damn wasteland.
Damn, the pressure has been increasing recently. I actually had such weird dreams. My mental state seems to be a little bad.
Looking at the familiar dilapidated scene around him, Yi Beiwang felt more at ease. He sat up and drank a bottle of Quantum Coke to replenish his energy. Just at this moment, Mist walked in and reported, "Chief, Carlos and Xia Laxi are both dead."
"What happened? Did you hit your head against the wall or cut your wrists?"
"Carlos hid some Jet somewhere and sucked himself to death, while Xia Laxi bit his tongue and committed suicide on the way to the legion."
"Oh, they are also people. I will dismember them and feed them to the dogs. This will be my last respect to them."
Yi Beiwang looked at the scorching sun outside and asked, "How long have I slept?"
"For three whole days, many people came to express their condolences to you during these three days."
Mist briefly recounted what had happened in the past three days. First, in the gambling district, many people from the Crimson Branch Merchant Group died. The head of the branch was furious, but due to the strength of House and the postman, he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.
However, he did not send anyone to talk to Yi Beiwang in detail, as if he wanted to let the matter go and it would be best if everyone just ignored each other.
Next is Liberty City. Forces like Silver Shock and Atomic Cowboys were beaten up by the Postman, and with the defeat of the Crimson Merchant Corps, their status plummeted. Elvis took the opportunity to make a comeback and stood at the top of Liberty City again.
Afterwards, NCR and the Legion each sent people to express their condolences, saying that Yi Beiwang had fought beautifully in this battle, and also hinted at the movements of the First Task Force Battalion.
These bastards, knowing that they have gained power and have the assistance of the Dragon Country troops, all come out to act as good guys and come to care about whether I have any difficulties. It's really... Alas.
Yi Beiwang stood up and walked out of the room. At this time, Neptune was being renovated by workers. Houses and roads were being repaired, and farmland was being cultivated.
Looking at this scene full of hope and light, Yi Beiwang glanced at Pip-Boy and suddenly asked, "What day is it today?"
"Number 16, what's wrong?"
"You were with me one minute before 2283:9 p.m. on September 16, . Because of you, I will remember this minute."
"That's great, that's great..."
Yi Beiwang saw an old piano not far away. It seemed to have just been cleaned out and it looked like it could still play a song.
He suddenly became interested, sat down at the piano, and played an impromptu song without looking at any music score.
Mist originally thought that Yi Beiwang just wanted to play the piano to vent his emotions, but he didn't expect that his leader could really play the piano and his playing was quite good.
That nameless song started out light and humorous, then gradually became high-pitched and intense, and then changed from intense to low and sad.
This simple song tells everything that Yi Beiwang experienced in Mojave. It starts with joy and ends with bitterness and pain, but it cannot fully describe his mental journey.
Everyone gathered around Yi Beiwang, and after he finished playing, they spontaneously applauded, cheering loudly for their leader with all their heart.
Mist asked, "What's the name of this piece?"
Yi Beiwang thought for a moment and replied, "Blues, let's call it Blues."
“Vegas blues, Mojave blues…call it what you will.”
"The bitter past is over, and we will get better and better in the future."
"As long as nothing unexpected happens..."
…………
On the other side, in the tent of Caesar's legion.
Caesar looked at the silver-haired man in a white coat with interest and asked, "You mean, you want to join us?"
The silver-haired man nodded and said with a confident smile: "Of course, I have heard that Lord Caesar is very capable and wise and brave. I came here because of his reputation. Please take me in, Lord Caesar."
Zhan Hu on the side was a little displeased with the boy. This guy gave him a weird feeling, but he couldn't tell what was weird about it.
"You said you came to join Lord Caesar, but what abilities do you have? You should know that the legion doesn't keep idle people."
The silver-haired man just smiled, walked quickly to Caesar, and massaged his neck and head.
Caesar instantly felt his headache relieved a lot, and his whole body felt warm, as if strengthened. This long-lost feeling of comfort almost made him moan.
Seeing that the silver-haired man had such skills, Caesar also became interested in his talent and asked, "What kind of position do you want?"
The silver-haired man smiled and said, "I will follow Lord Caesar's arrangements."
"Okay, then you can be my personal doctor. You can usually treat my headaches, and you can also serve others if needed."
"Yes, Lord Caesar, it is my honor to serve you."
Caesar nodded in satisfaction and asked, "What's your name? How should I call you?"
Hearing this, the silver-haired man still had a faint smile on his face and replied: "Fabius Bayer, just call me Bayer."
"Bail, okay, then you go and rest first. I'll call you if I need you. I'll let War Fox take you to find a place to stay."
"I will follow Lord Caesar's arrangements."
After Bayer respectfully took his leave, he followed the War Fox to his residence.
War Fox threw the key to him and warned him, "Boy, I don't know what your purpose is, and no matter who you are, you'd better behave yourself in Caesar's Legion, or you'll be in trouble!"
"Lord Zhanhu, you are too kind. I just want to join Caesar's Legion and serve Lord Caesar. I hope you will bear with me in the future."
War Fox snorted coldly and walked away without looking back, ready to check the boy's background and find out what his purpose was in coming to Caesar's Legion.
Bayer walked into his room, closed the doors and windows, and after making sure there were no monitoring devices in the room, he silently said, "System, has the current mission been completed?"
[Of course, the mission rewards have also been issued, please check them in time.]
[You have reached level 7, gained 3 free attribute points, and acquired the skill: Void.]
Hearing this, Bayer distributed his attribute points evenly between strength, endurance, and agility, and then checked his own attributes.

[Current mission: Seize control of Caesar's Legion and make more than 50% of the Legion members surrender.

After reading the current task, Bayer's smile finally disappeared, and he drummed his fingers on the table thinking about what to do next.
Seize control of Caesar's Legion? That's a tough task, but that's what makes it interesting.
The Enclave is almost in his hands, so what does a small legion matter?
As long as nothing unexpected happens...
