Chapter 433 Shelter
"Right A."
"I can't afford it, let's get over it."
"Yes, K."
"I can't afford it, let's get over it."
"What about 3?"
"I can't afford it, let's get over it."
"…I don't want to play anymore. It's boring."
In the presidential suite of Lucky 38 Casino in the gambling district, Yi Beiwang threw his playing cards on the table in annoyance. Upon closer inspection, his cards were either bombs or pairs.
On the other hand, the postman sitting opposite has 3456 without 7, and can't even suppress a three-on-three situation.
He stared at Yi Beiwang in silence and asked, "So, you got mad at the Hoover Dam and came to Las Vegas to vent your anger?"
"Yeah, let me tell you, that bastard Oliver actually burned down the warehouse just to teach me a lesson. He was really cruel."
"Just wait and see. Sooner or later, I will kick his big round face and turn it into a pancake face."
Yi Beiwang kept drinking, and sometimes he really wanted to get drunk, but unfortunately his physical condition did not allow him to get drunk, so he could only drink strong liquor as a beverage.
Just yesterday, Oliver burned down NCR's warehouse in order to make him uncomfortable. I really don't understand what he was thinking. He burned down his own warehouse just to embarrass outsiders.
When he and Colonel Xu rushed over, all the warehouse guards were knocked unconscious. They spoke with one voice and unanimously put the blame on Caesar's Legion.
Yi Beiwang carefully inspected the burned warehouse, which was completely clean. There was not even any ashes from equipment and supplies on the ground.
It goes without saying that Oliver has settled his account and is probably secretly celebrating at the Hoover Dam.
Everyone knew that he did it, but there was no evidence, and he was also Kimball's confidant, so the matter could only be left unresolved.
It is said that Colonel Xu spent the whole night thinking about how Oliver had embezzled all the things so quickly, and he still didn't figure it out until dawn.
What followed was bad news. Without this batch of supplies, the NCR defenders might not even survive this year, let alone the beginning of next spring.
Fortunately, Yi Beiwang escaped in time, otherwise we would have to hold a group meeting to fleece the sheep, and we would be almost fleeced bald!
After leaving, he wanted to have a peaceful sleep in Novak, but worse news came. The followers of Apocalypse who had joined the eBay Merchants Group before came to report the food situation this year, and as expected, the harvest was poor.
Seeing the potatoes that were shriveled and looked like they were dehydrated, Yi Bei felt overwhelmed, but fortunately, the food reserves in the merchant group were enough for them to last until next year, so he didn't have to worry too much.
However, they were not the only place experiencing a poor harvest, which meant that the Mojave would be facing a severe famine in the future. Coupled with the approaching winter, many people might die this year.
After hearing the news, Mist and Rana volunteered to take a group of people to investigate the situation in a distant place and see if they could buy more food.
I thought that with the one hundred soldiers sent by Colonel Xu, this meeting would not be a loss, but I didn't expect that what Colonel Xu sent were all ugly new recruits.
If they could not be used for farming and mining, Yi Beiwang really wanted to flash to Colonel Xu and give him a big bag.
He had no choice but to try his luck in the gambling district, where he happened to meet the idle postman, so he played a round of poker with him, and they chatted idly after the game.
"Mailman, how's Cas doing lately?"
"It's fine. Gannon checked it out and it's estimated that she'll be able to give birth in another six months."
"That's good. If you need anything, just come to me. You can never mistreat anyone but my nephew or niece."
"Ah."
"The postman..."
"what happened?"
"I am pretty tired."
"Go and rest if you're tired."
"I want to, but there are still many things I can't trust others to do. I have to do them myself to feel at ease."
"Why don't you package up the eBay Business Group and sell it to me? I will definitely give you a suitable price." House's projection was projected from the gambling table, almost scaring Yi Beiwang.
After Yi Beiwang sat firmly, he rolled his eyes at him and said, "Wait a minute. I'll sell it to you when it appreciates in value and becomes more valuable."
"Let's not waste any more time, Mr. House. I want to buy food from you. The more the better."
House nodded as expected, then shook his head and said, "Not for sale."
"why?"
"Wait a minute. I'll sell it to you when the grain appreciates in value and becomes more valuable."
"6."
What to do? This old capitalist is obviously trying to rip them off, and if they don't buy, eBay Business Group may survive.
But the Mojave are short of food and many people will die. It’s not that I sympathize with them, but I just don’t want all this cheap labor to die.
Do I need to redeem it with points or bottle caps? That would be an astronomical amount.
What should we do?
Seeing that Yi Beiwang was about to lose his hair due to lack of food, the postman felt sorry for him and decided to give him a way out.
"Beiwang, have you heard of Shelter 22?"
Huh? Are there any shelters in Mojave?
Yi Beiwang was searching for relevant clues in his mind, but found nothing. House raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You want him to go there to die?"
"It's not suicide. Two years have passed. Perhaps all the spores inside have died..."
"Hahaha, Postman, you really should read more books. Those are spores produced by Shelter 22. They can survive as long as there is water. You actually expected them to die on their own. This is really... I am dying of laughter."
The postman ignored House's ridicule and introduced Shelter No. 22 to Yi Beiwang.
To put it simply, Shelter 22 was once a place responsible for researching super seeds. The seeds there were so abnormal that one seed, one person, a few bottles of water and a little soil could grow food that could feed dozens or even hundreds of people.
This should have been a good thing that could benefit mankind, but unfortunately the experimenters at the time also created something else: parasitic spores.
This thing is invisible and intangible and can be spread through the air. Once parasitized, any living creature will turn into a monster covered with plants.
Almost all the people in the shelter died in the disaster, and the few survivors became crazy and warned the people of the wasteland not to go in.
Two years ago, the postman tried to go in and look for the super seeds. He didn't want to say what happened during that time. Anyway, in the end he blew up the door of the shelter, and the place was blocked by rubble from a landslide.
If Yi Beiwang wants to obtain a steady supply of food, the best way is to reopen the long-sealed Shelter No. 22 and go in to find super seeds.
Oh shit, is it time to start a new adventure?
But this time Yi Beiwang will not be stupid enough to go alone. He will have to bring some helpers with him, at least dozens of people.
By the way, when was the last time you went into a shelter? Was it Shelter No. 88 in the Federation?
I don’t know how my brothers and friends in the Federation are doing. I miss them so much.
