The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World

(Recommended background music for this chapter: "Brightness Calling" Source: Fallout 4 Soundtrack.)

The next morning, Marvin did not go to see the supervisor.

He first maintained his Gus pattern and commonly used firearms, and then began to study the "Vault-Tec Armor Workbench Operation Guide" seriously, intending to try to use the workbench to repair his leather clothes and armor.

The workbench can be purchased now, 200 RP per unit.

After reading the whole article, Marvin understood the two working modes of the workbench.

One is fully automatic, but it needs to be connected to the Pip-Boy. The drawings stored in the Pip-Boy can allow the workbench to complete automatic production or automatic repair; the second is manual mode.

Marvin's armor and leather clothes are mainly different in materials, and there are no enchantments. If there are materials, they can be repaired manually with the armor workbench.

He worked while reading the book, and he barely repaired dozens of holes until dinner.

The craftsmanship is a bit eye-catching, but fortunately, all the repairs that should be repaired have been repaired, and now the leather windbreaker has a wasteland style.

The next day, he knocked on the supervisor's door...

"...That's what happened. There are at least 80 scorched corpses in there, and my clothes are almost scrapped." Marvin spread his hands and showed his leather jacket.

This is a long-term deal, and showing his war damage appropriately is conducive to subsequent cooperation.

"God, I didn't expect there were so many. Fortunately, you are fine."

"How many of your people went into the mine?"

"When they went there, they said there were seven or eight. God bless them, they all escaped safely."

Marvin now at least confirmed the number of people in Elvin Jordan's team.

"Now, there are no scorched corpses in that cave."

"Thank you, Marvin, thank you this time. Come with me." The supervisor stood up and walked to the basement.

The metal security door opened, and the basement was arranged as a small laboratory with 2 workbenches and some materials. The large map that Marvin had seen was hanging on the wall.

The supervisor stood up from the terminal and said, "Here are all the ones I have. Pick 5 and print them yourself... Yes, click here to print." After that, she put on her white coat and went about her business.

Marvin didn't actually need to print...

He spent 20 minutes reading all the drawings, ignoring the series of prompts that popped up on the learning machine, and selected 5 drawings that were more in line with his identity to print.

"Okay, I'm done."

[Hint: The mission "Eliminate the Scorched" has been completed. Reward book "Shelter Technology Chemical Workbench Operation Manual". Do you want to receive the reward? 】【Yes】【No】

I didn't have time to look closely, so I chose yes first.

"Here you go." The supervisor took out a Pip-Boy from the box next to him, "This was originally broken. I fixed it and it has been useless. I'll give it to you. It will be much more convenient to have this. Do you need me to teach you?"

Marvin would be stupid not to do it.

"No, I've learned about it from other people in the shelter, and it's not unfamiliar to me."

What if he puts on the Pip-Boy and sees the things in the inventory? It's better to be cautious.

After wandering around for a few days, he found many places where he could use the Pip-Boy. It would be much more convenient to have such a personal terminal in the wasteland.

Reading disks, connecting to other terminals, connecting to large cabinets, and operating robots, all these tasks require the Pip-Boy.

There are also maps. Every time I look at other maps, I can only see a rough idea, which is not accurate. This also requires the help of the Pip-Boy.

This thing also has good storage capacity and can save a lot of information.

As for the problem of the Pip-Boy binding, the learning machine should be much more advanced, right?

The supervisor asked again: "Oh? Which shelter is it?"

Is this pure curiosity or another test?

Marvin answered calmly: "No. 111."

"No. 111... Let me think, where is it?"

"Boston." Marvin continued. The longer he stayed in the wasteland, the more things he remembered.

The woman snapped her fingers: "Yes, yes, it's Boston. OK, then you wear it yourself."

Marvin put on his personal terminal and changed the subject: "I met Elvin Jordan in Charleston."

"Oh, is his injury healed?"

"At least he was fine when I saw him."

"Huh, that's good. He's a good kid, and he's the only one in his team who will tell me about the progress of things."

"How many teams are outside?"

"There are still more than a hundred people outside, but half of them can't be contacted. There are only five teams left that I can contact, responsible for different directions."

That means there are about 10 people in each team on average, which is not bad.

Marvin mentioned the black guy again, and it would be better to inquire about him from the side.

"Elvin asked me to go to the foundation to find him. I don't know what's going on. What kind of person is he?"

"Don't worry, Marvin, Elvin is a good kid. He was average in school, so he was rejected by several kids and a little sensitive. You don't have to take it to heart, he won't have any bad intentions."

Oh, he's just an unlucky guy who has been bullied since childhood.

"That's good, then I'll go to the foundation?"

The supervisor pondered for a moment.

"That's fine, they've been stuck on a mission recently, it would be nice for you to go and help."

"Okay, I'll take a few days off and then leave. Is that okay?"

"You should be exhausted, so it's no problem. Do you know how to get to the foundation?"

Marvin had removed his left arm armor and metal gloves, put on the Pip-Boy, and checked it.

The maps on both sides were synchronized. Apart from that, all the data about him on the Pip-Boy was fake.

His health was full, but the item page was empty and he couldn't put anything in it. There were no tasks, let alone other information. Oh, the radio and short-distance communication could be used.

He turned the Pip-Boy to the map page.

"Erwin told me it was probably here."

"Don't bother. I'll send you the map data."

The supervisor pulled out a data cable from the bottom of the Pip-Boy, connected it to Marvin's Pip-Boy, and started the operation.

[Tip: Other terminals have been connected, and valid data has been found. Do you want to download it?] [Yes] [No]

Select Yes.

[Prompt: Downloading external data...]

[Prompt: Download completed, this download has obtained...]

The supervisor said: "Okay, your map has been updated."

"Thank you, I'll leave as soon as possible, bye."

"Wait a minute, take this, go to AVR Medical Center, find Dr. Hard's laboratory on the top floor, and inject the scorched virus antibody serum. As soon as possible!"

"Okay."

After the supervisor's popular science and his own experience, Marvin was sure that the scorched virus did exist.

The scorched people, as well as the carbonized people who died miserably everywhere in Appalachia, are one of the consequences of the scorched virus.

He is still a mortal now, and he can't resist such a scorched virus.

But he is a mysterious person after all, and he is not willing to inject these messy things into his body, so he can only leave with the antibody agent formula.

...

Back at the underground base, Marvin first carefully read the information given by the supervisor, the formula and instructions of the scorched virus vaccine.

The formula actually contains ghoul blood, wolf blood, and mole blood. Can this be a serious thing?

[Tip: The formula of the scorched virus vaccine has been included, and the medical formula has been included. PR points of 50 are awarded. ]

[Tip: The detection of the scorched virus antibody formula will cause the physical fitness and perception attributes to be unable to exceed 80. It is not recommended to use this antibody. ]

[Tip: The detection of the scorched virus antibody formula will cause the physical fitness and perception attributes to be unable to exceed 80. It is not recommended to use this antibody. ]

[Tip: The detection of the scorched virus antibody formula will cause the physical fitness and perception attributes to be unable to exceed 80. It is not recommended to use this antibody. ]

3 consecutive red prompts.

He immediately gave up the idea of ​​injecting the antibody vaccine.

Gun blueprints, added iron barrel gun, iron barrel revolver, 10mm submachine gun, combat shotgun, laser gun, and rewarded 250RP.

Armor blueprints, leather armor parts, thickened leather armor parts, metal armor parts, shelter jumpsuit, reward 380RP.

Explosive weapon blueprints, added electromagnetic grenades, reward 50RP.

There are also a bunch of melee weapon blueprints, which Marvin didn't even look at, but he was rewarded with 40RP.

Workbench blueprints, adding weapon workbenches, chemical workbenches, repair workbenches, and cooking workbenches, with a reward of 700RP.

There are also some survival facility blueprints, large, medium and small water purification equipment, diesel generators, wind turbines, small nuclear generators, etc., with a reward of 730RP.

A lot of architectural blueprints that are useless to Marvin, with a reward of 260RP.

After submitting the blueprints, new products appeared in the RP store. Marvin took a look and was only interested in laser guns and electromagnetic grenades.

Laser gun + focusing muzzle + calibrated long generator + red dot sight + stabilized stock, a total cost of 160RP.

Ammunition must also be replenished, combat rifle ammunition costs 20RP, 5 electromagnetic grenades cost 100RP, and 1 fragmentation grenade costs 10RP.

Medicines Marvin plans to use only the products of the learning machine, so he plans to sell all the seized and looted medicines.

Replenishment of treatment needles and anti-radiation and radiation elimination costs a total of 210RP.

Maps are another area where you can get a lot of benefits. The maps shared by the supervisors have more locations than Marvin originally had.

Grafton, mentioned by Elvin Jordan, has been clearly marked on the map.

There are several other places that he is more interested in.

Vault Technology University, Vault Agricultural Research Center, exploring these technology-related places will always yield some benefits, right?

Poseidon Energy Plant should be a large energy facility, right?

Since the mayor of Grafton is an artificial intelligence, does the Charleston Capitol have a similar situation?

It is normal for large companies such as Graham Mining Company Headquarters and Hornwright Industrial Headquarters to have large computers, right?

Of course, all of the above have to be put aside for a while, and they have to meet up with the people in Vault 76 first.

First, Elvin's attitude is too suspicious and needs to be investigated in depth; second, he needs to follow them to the last nuclear missile silo, where there is almost certainly something technological that can be obtained, as well as the nuclear bombs that Marvin needs.

Suddenly remembering the tips of the learning machine after the two Pip Boys were connected, he came to the cabinet in the base hall, pulled out the data cable of the Pip Boy, tried everywhere, found the appropriate interface, and connected.

[Tip: Other devices have been connected, no valid data was found. ]

He can't get rid of these cabinets now. Without them, he will be trapped in this underground base, and can only risk teleporting out, with a high probability of being stuck in the soil.

After a day at the base, I got familiar with the operation, range, and trajectory of the laser gun. In short, I felt it was average.

Laser burns should not be effective against zombie monsters like the Scorched Man, and it should also be average against muscular mutants. It may be better against robots. These need to be tested in actual combat. The most annoying thing is that the thick body of the laser gun can easily block the line of sight.

Since the learning machine has found the suspected target location, it must be arranged first.

Marvin teleported to the Charleston Railway Station. To the west is the Poseidon Energy Plant. To the east, you can follow the road all the way to the White Spring Railway Station and then turn to the Foundation.

From the Charleston Railway Station to the west, there is a slightly dry wilderness.

Marvin encountered many strange insects, flies as big as basketballs, mosquitoes more than one meter long, and giant cockroaches emitting green fluorescence.

The wasteland is really amazing, and gamma rays really mutate everything...

For Marvin, the best thing about these insects is that they don't use guns...

After a circle around the Poseidon Energy Plant, he roughly understood the current situation of Poseidon Energy.

This is a giant nuclear power plant that is still in operation. From the beautiful billboards on the roadside, you can tell how glorious this place was before the war.

From the sniper scope, you can see that there are a few security turrets and defense robots still in operation outside Poseidon Energy, but the endless stream of scorched corpses and crazy ghouls makes these machine guards exhausted.

There are a large number of unrecognizable corpses in the water under the huge cooling tower. There are no defense robots and turrets near the cooling tower, only crazy ghouls wandering without mind. Marvin tried to get close to the cooling tower.

When he was 50 meters away from the cooling tower, the lower right corner of his vision changed.

[Environmental radiation value: 5]

[Tip: You are suffering from radiation damage, please take necessary radiation protection measures. ]

With high radiation values ​​and unknown dangers in nuclear power plants, ordinary nuclear protection suits will definitely not meet combat requirements.

Marvin's only choice is to get a set of power armor with good radiation resistance.

It will take some time to train before you can use power armor to fight.

This matter is likely to fall on the people in Shelter 76. After all, there are enough of them and they have been wandering in Appalachia for so long.

After intravenous injection of Radiation Eliminator to relieve the weakness caused by radiation, Marvin set the coordinates near Poseidon Energy, returned to the Charleston train station, headed east, and took a look at the headquarters of Honnwright Industries on the way.

From the time Marvin saw the sign of the Honnwright Industrial Building to the time he left the dilapidated skyscraper in disappointment, it took a full four hours. He didn't find anything useful, no large computers, no artificial intelligence... only an old story that was meaningless.

Mining companies in West Virginia, including Honnwright, adopted mining robots on a large scale before the nuclear war, causing the unemployment rate of miners to soar. Then the miners rioted, and the government even dispatched the National Guard. Then there were some intrigues within the company, which was really annoying.

…

Continue to the north. I have to hurry up today and try to get to the foundation as soon as possible.

After walking north for about an hour, the sky was no longer cloudy and the sun could shine. The building in front looked a bit like the Capitol, but it was incomplete.

Marvin looked at the map and arrived at the Charleston Capitol, another place worth exploring on the way.

There was a huge crack in the cement road ahead, but there was a broken airplane wing placed on the crack, allowing people to pass through the crack smoothly.

After killing two super mutants, Marvin turned around and saw that not only was the Capitol half collapsed, but the square in front of the building was also full of building debris. I don’t know how many missiles were thrown. It’s really miserable.

Stepping on the broken bricks and earth slopes, Marvin entered the Capitol through the collapsed gap...

There was nothing, except for the crazy ghouls and ruins. The only interesting thing was that a bottle of good wine was found in the office on the third floor. Maybe I can save it and give it out to increase my favorability later.

The third floor should be able to reach the roof, but the passage collapsed. You can see the sky outside directly from the collapsed position. Out of the range of the ash pile, the sky turned blue again.

Marvin remembered that when he looked from a distance, there seemed to be an airplane or something else on the roof, and he had to go up and take a look.

Returning to the office where he found the wine, he smashed the window and climbed up the wall to the roof.

It was indeed an airplane, with a bulging belly, an open side door, short wings, but two huge propellers at both ends of the wings. This seemed to be an airplane that could take off and land vertically, and it seemed to be called a flying bird or something.

Next to the airplane was a lying power armor. Marvin checked it and found that the power armor was completely damaged and could not be used.

Although the power armor was cool, he probably would not wear it to fight, because he could not use a knife and it was cumbersome.

Wearing power armor to fight, his combat power would be wasted by more than half, which was not worth the loss.

In the cabin of the airplane, Marvin found a heavy machine gun, single-barreled, large caliber, with a belt and ammunition box, but no bullets. After carefully wiping the rear of the gun, he found useful parameters, 12.7mm.

This gun is not a traditional grip trigger. The front and rear grips are above the machine gun, and there is an electric trigger on the rear grip that is pressed by the thumb.

This heavy machine gun, which should be mounted on a machine gun mount, was modified into a hand-held machine gun, obviously for use with power armor.

Marvin took out the tools and tried to disassemble it according to the knowledge he had learned about firearms, and cleaned each part.

All parts are intact, with basically no wear and tear. Wipe all parts clean, reassemble without any problem, the sound of empty chamber when pulling the bolt is very crisp, the trigger is also very flexible, this big gun can still be used.

He picked it up and tried it, it was not difficult.

There are 12.7mm caliber rifle bullets in the RP mall of the learning machine, which are universal for both, 100 rounds for 20RP. Marvin bought 100 rounds, cleaned the belt, and loaded bullets into the belt one by one.

This process should be completed by the matching machine, but now it can only be done manually, which is time-consuming and laborious.

First load 20 rounds to try, load the belt, load, pull the trigger, bang bang bang, three gunshots...

Marvin almost twisted his arm, the recoil was huge, and he only used two arms to hold it in the air, it was really not good without playing it at all.

After trying 100 rounds of bullets, he had a little feeling.

This thing can't be aimed, you can only shoot by feeling, which is completely different from other firearms.

Without tracer bullets, we can only barely see where the bullets landed, and it is too difficult to shoot accurately from the hip.

He bought another 200 rounds, but he didn't fill the entire ammunition belt. The ammunition belt and ammunition box should hold 250 rounds. He continued to buy, and collected 500 rounds. He filled a belt first and continued on his way.

He used this machine gun to practice and clear monsters along the way, and he found another problem.

This thing seems to be really only suitable for power armor. One is that it lacks auxiliary aiming, and hip shooting beyond 30 meters is basically random; second, it is not easy to dodge, and the hip shooting posture cannot be used even with cover, so you can only use armor to fight hard.

Along the way, Marvin could only use this big guy to fight wild beasts and rocks to practice his feeling. For real shooting, he still uses sniper rifles and combat rifles.

After walking for a whole day and killing 3 looters who worked together, Marvin found today's destination, Baiquan Railway Station after the sun went down.

The building complex opposite Baiquan Railway Station seems to be very beautiful and complete, but it is not very clear because it is dark. It didn't seem like a good idea to explore such a complex place at night.

After Marvin memorized the coordinates of the Baiquan Railway Station, he teleported from Lakeside Manor back to the underground base.

…
