Chapter 396: After one wave, another wave arises
A day later, Novak.
The people who were born and raised in the wasteland quickly shook off the shadow of sadness and devoted themselves to the restoration of Novak.
After all, no one expects to see the sun tomorrow, so every second alive is a bonus. It's just the death of some companions, which is not a big blow to them.
But not everyone has been able to forget this humiliating incident and is still planning how to fight back.
In the Novak Hotel, Yi Beiwang, Mist, Lana, Valkyrie and others gathered together to discuss and analyze the incident.
After hearing the whole story, Yi Beiwang sighed, rubbed his head which was swollen and painful from anger, and asked, "Is everything done?"
Valkyrie nodded and said, "It's done. The dead soldiers have been buried, and the pensions have been sent to their families and friends."
"The wounded have been rescued. Although there are treatment needles, I suggest that they take a break for now and not continue the treatment."
"The damage on Novak's side is not that great. It will be completely recovered in three days at most."
"As for the traitors, we did find spies from the four major gangs, but they died from torture before we could get any useful information from them. Perturabo is investigating whether there are other traitors."
Hearing this, Yi Beiwang closed his eyes and pondered for a while, smoking non-stop. When the cigarette butts were almost covering the soles of his feet, he said, "I still can't figure out why Colonel Xu and the others stopped me. Is the Crimson Merchant Group really that powerful?"
Mist explained: "It's really powerful. In Mojave, the food, clothing and daily expenses of all NCR soldiers are controlled by the Crimson Merchants."
"They occupy a large number of trade routes and always send people to target and suppress other merchant groups. This time, they probably took action because they saw that our threat was becoming more and more serious."
"It's worth mentioning that the Crimson Merchants Group is only a branch in Mojave. They have a headquarters in Shady City. Their size is not something that a small merchant group like us can match."
"So regarding revenge... I suggest you take a long-term view and not rush into anything."
The implication is that they are too powerful and we can't afford to offend them, so we should just give in.
Mist cares a lot about the development and overall interests of the caravan. He is also considered a veteran figure, and has watched this place develop bit by bit, and has a very deep affection for it.
We are not afraid of losing territory or losing people, as long as we give them some more time.
Our leader is the nominal mayor of NCR. No matter how cruel the Crimson Cartel is, they have to give NCR face. They can't attack them again, right?
Yi Beiwang also understood what Mist meant, but he just couldn't swallow this breath. As long as he closed his eyes, he could see No. 9 and those soldiers who died in vain.
Is it abnormal for people to die in the wasteland? That's too normal. People die every day, everywhere.
But it cannot be my friend, and it cannot die in front of me, otherwise all my efforts will be in vain.
Yi Beiwang became angrier and angrier, and even began to have extreme ideas. He said, "Why don't you just stay at home and I'll carry a nuclear bomb over there and take down Shenhong's hometown directly? How do you think?"
"Or I can get some poison gas bombs and blast him directly, catching him off guard!"
After hearing this, everyone fell silent and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Mist looked at Yi Beiwang blankly, then suddenly stood up without warning and kicked down the chair under Yi Beiwang's butt.
Yi Beiwang was kicked awake all of a sudden and asked, "What do you want to do? What do you want to do?"
Mist yelled, "I should be the one asking you this! What on earth are you trying to do?!"
"Do you know that during your absence, eBay Business Group lost three items!"
"The territory we fought so hard to conquer was robbed, our friends who had fought for us through thick and thin were killed by the looters, and the face of our Yibei Merchant Group was also torn off!"
"And you, the leader who disappeared for four days and four hours... Now, you tell me you want to go and take revenge alone? You're just going to leave these thousand plus people to me?"
"Yi Beiwang! What do you think we are?! We risked our lives to accompany you, not for you to be a hero alone! We are a team, a team!"
"Yes, you do have many unimaginable abilities, but that doesn't mean we are a bunch of losers. Can't you give us a little trust? Why do you always have to go alone?! Do you think you are a superhero?!"
"Even if I put a stone in my pocket, I can still keep it warm, right? I am also a human being, I have a heart and liver, and I get tired too!"
"If you're not here, who can I tell if something happens? You tell me!!"
Mist was really afraid that Yi Beiwang would do something stupid alone, and then leave such a big mess to him, he really couldn't handle it.
Taking this opportunity, he simply expressed all his dissatisfaction with Yi Beiwang, and then collapsed to the ground, as if all his energy had been drained out.
He had never contradicted his boss before, and he never thought it would develop to this point.
I thought Yi Beiwang would loudly rebuke and refute, but he hugged Mist like a child who had done something wrong and whispered, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. It's not that I don't trust you, I just don't want to lose you again."
"I treated you as my friends. I was too impulsive. I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Because he has many external skills, Yi Beiwang wants to do many things alone, so as not to let his companions get hurt.
But now it seems that he still ignored everyone's feelings. They all wanted to make some contribution to the caravan instead of hiding behind him and being a waste.
Yi Beiwang hugged Mist tightly, tears flowing down his face unconsciously.
Seeing this, Lana and Valkyrie also hugged each other. Without saying anything, the atmosphere gradually eased.
After smoking a few cigarettes and drinking a few bottles of wine, everyone continued to discuss ways and means to deal with the Crimson Merchant Group as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, the door was knocked by Peng Peng, and a soldier ran in and shouted, "Oh no, there are more looters outside!"

Chapter 400 check-in.
I took a look a couple of days ago and it seems like I'm the only one on Tomato who's still writing fan fiction about the Fallout series. How sad.
But keep going, according to my idea of the subsequent plot, it will take at least another 300 chapters to complete it.
I recently looked at the election of King Dong, and felt that it could be used as a reference for the later plot of Yi Beiwang's campaign for the president of NCR.
Anyway, Yi Beiwang still has a long way to go...
A slight spoiler for you: in about twenty chapters, the book’s final villain will officially make his debut.
His name has appeared before. Do you want to guess who he is?
