Fallout 4: The Wasteland Life of a Pillager

Chapter 307: Fire Blue Blade and Wolf Fang Squad

Early the next morning, at the headquarters of the eBay Merchants Group.

This place has been completely built, and a simple wall made of sand, stone and scrap metal has been built around it for defense.

Just like the original sheltering hills, people here grow drought-tolerant crops, purify collected rainwater, and strive to be as self-sufficient as possible.

The number of people here has remained at around four hundred, and perhaps other wasteland residents are still waiting and watching.

For the scavengers who did not want to join here, Yi Beiwang adhered to the principle of friendship and mutual assistance, exchanging some food and water for information about the surrounding area, thus enhancing the good reputation of the Yibei Merchant Group.

They were preparing to occupy the former Explosives Gang camp not far from the base camp, which was already deserted.

As for why we know this information, in addition to thanking the scavengers, we also have to thank the former Dynamite Gang members who joined them.

New Vegas is really full of talented people. Anyone who comes to join them is likely to have mastered superb skills, just like those former members of the Dynamite Gang, who are all good at using explosives.

Once we occupy those two camps, we can recruit more people, then go to more places to do business, build up the reputation of the caravan, and then recruit more people, forming a perfect cycle.

The area of ​​New Vegas is relatively friendly to businessmen. Except for the four gangs that were stupid enough to rob him before, the remaining gangs will more or less give the businessmen some face, especially business groups of a certain scale like his.

If nothing else, he had heard from his subordinates that NCR Rangers and Legion personnel had stopped the convoys one after another and bought some necessary supplies.

Yi Beiwang also asked George and Ada to lead fifty or sixty people to find a suitable place as a base along the trade route so that they could transfer at any time to avoid being robbed again.

As long as nothing unexpected happens in the future, I believe that the eBay Business Group will soon rise and have a foothold in New Vegas.

In the base camp, Yi Beiwang was eating roasted potatoes while bragging to the kids in the base camp: "Thinking back to when I was in Nuclear World, I took a machete and chopped from the east end of the street to the west end without blinking an eye."

"Colonel Enclave, Colonel Gunner, they were no match for me. I killed them easily."

"I'm not bragging, I once fought four power armors at the same time, and I won in the end. Tell me how awesome that is!"

One of the kids thought about it and asked, "You've been chopping for so long, aren't your eyes dry?"

Yi Beiwang was a little speechless and said, "I'm talking about my heroic achievements, but you asked me if my eyes were dry. What kind of focus is this?"

"Hurry up and go back and learn how to read. Be careful or I'll make you work in the fields with pickaxes."

By the way, Yi Beiwang is also teaching his subordinates to read and write.

The biggest characteristic of New Vegas is poverty. Most people are too poor to buy drugs. Even among the raiders, there are very few drug addicts.

Take Jet for example, this thing is made from the gas produced by the feces of a two-headed cow. It is one of the cheapest addictive drugs, but there are still a lot of people who can't afford to take it.

Moreover, many people here are illiterate, and some cannot even speak fluently, which gives Yi Beiwang a headache.

When I want to form an army in the future, the people under my command cannot all be people who cannot understand orders.

The old saying is true: you can be poor in anything but not in education.

After the kids were scared away by Yi Beiwang, Mist limped over and reported, "Boss, the team you asked me to train is almost ready."

"There are a total of 5 people in the team, including 30 people in the demolition team, 30 people in the assault team, 35 people in the firepower team, and people in the support team."

"We can only gather these one hundred people at the moment, but they all have some basic skills and can be put into battle after a little training."

Just like the name suggests, the demolition team has the most explosives, of various types, and is responsible for blowing up fortresses and the road ahead for their teammates.

The assault team is fully equipped with automated weapons exchanged by Yi Beiwang, and is responsible for carrying out rapid assaults after the blasting by the blasting team.

The firepower group is where all the heavy firepower in a team is located. They are responsible for suppressing the opponent's firepower when the assault group is suppressed by firepower.

The support group is responsible for rushing in and expanding the victory after the first three groups have opened up the situation. It is also the group with the largest number of people.

Seeing the team training in the distance, Yi Beiwang patted Mist on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have the talent to train soldiers. Have you ever been an officer in NCR?"

As he said this, he looked at the tattered beret that Miss wore around his waist.

He found that the red beret seemed to be the representative of the 1st Battalion, and ordinary people were not qualified to wear it.

Yi Beiwang guessed that Mist was most likely a former NCR soldier, but had fallen to this state for some reason.

Mist just smiled innocently and tried to skip the topic.

However, at this moment, the postman who was strolling over came up to them, looked at Mist and said, "In 2274, I participated in the recruit selection for the first time and won the championship."

"Then in 2276, I followed the First Battalion and won Operation Rising Sun."

"In 2280, he attempted to challenge the Legion's current envoy, Teunis, and luckily survived."

"Once hailed as the new generation nemesis of the Legion, nicknamed - Fire Blue Blade."

"It's a pity that he lost a leg in the second battle for Hoover Dam, and then disappeared without a trace."

Hearing these past events, Mister's eyes flashed with reminiscence, but he just smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "What kind of Fire Blue Blade is there? Now he is just a cripple who makes a living."

"Oh, it's all over."

Yi Beiwang was amazed after hearing this. Wow, New Vegas is really full of talented people. Even a cripple has such a great background.

He patted Mister on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, follow me, I promise to make sure everyone has enough food and clothing and lives a good life."

"It's just a broken leg. Maybe there's a chance to recover later. After all, there are so many advanced technologies in the wasteland."

Mist nodded, and a little light flashed in his eyes.

Through observing here for some time, Mist also knows that Yi Beiwang is a good boss.

Apart from anything else, just handing over the base camp to them for management was enough to show how much Yi Beiwang trusted them. (In fact, he just forgot to manage it and didn't have time to manage it.)

Mist has a hunch that the eBay Merchants Group will rise in this land, and perhaps they will become the new hope of this wasteland.

This is also why he stopped living a life of idleness and waited for death, and planned to work hard to assist Yi Beiwang in training the team.

Thinking of this, Mist asked, "By the way, Boss, do you want to give our team a name?"

Yi Beiwang thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it the Wolf Fang Squad. It sounds simple and domineering. You will be the captain."

"Mister, you should know that I admire you the most among this group of people. You must do a good job."
