The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World
Chapter 25 Cooperation and Suspicion
The East District Prison is rectangular in shape and built on a flat wasteland. The main gate faces south and east. There are no usable commanding heights around it. The prison wall is 4 meters high.
There is a half-meter-high barbed wire on the top of the wall. Because there is no electricity, it is no longer an electric grid.
Inside the wall is a three-story building in an inverted T shape, which is the main building of the prison. Just from the appearance, it can be confirmed that the building is very strong, and each window has a metal fence.
Denis is a scout of Vaughn's team and has a very good stealth skill. He once climbed the wall at night to conduct close reconnaissance.
There are open spaces on both sides of the main building, full of garbage and shacks.
There are metal towers about ten meters high at the four corners of the wall. There are green monsters on duty in the observation room on the top of the tower 24 hours a day.
Without extremely strong stealth ability, it is impossible to approach the wall, let alone climb over it.
In addition to the main gate on the south side of the prison, a small section of the north wall collapsed and became a back door.
Super mutants and mutant hounds patrol the front and back gates all day.
With the hounds' keen sense of smell, it is very difficult to sneak or approach in stealth.
…
The process of attacking the East District Prison is not complicated. If it is too complicated, the looters in the crater will not be able to adapt.
Whether it is Marvin's personal experience in Grafton or the prison situation reported by the boys in the shelter, it shows that this group of super mutants is very orderly and may even be commanded.
Marvin guessed that the commander is the blue super mutant.
Since there are all in the sub-base of Grafton, there is no reason why there are none in the main base.
He did not say it.
First, the number is uncertain, and second, it is unknown what the command ability of the blue super mutant is, so it is meaningless to say it.
Considering that the green monsters generally have muscles in their brains, no matter how good the command ability of the enemy leader is, it is impossible to stop the green monsters from getting excited.
The super mutants also have a very big weakness. They don't like to aim. They shoot from the waist. They can be very powerful when using heavy firepower, but it is almost impossible to shoot accurately.
Invincible within 50 meters, life and death depend on the sky beyond 100 meters.
In addition, the enemy also has a melee weapon called "suicide bomber".
On the contrary, the strong among the wastelanders must have good marksmanship.
Whether it is the looters in the crater or the people in the shelter, there is no shortage of good shooters, and there are even more advanced snipers.
In this comparison, it is obvious that they cannot fight in close combat.
The solution proposed by Marvin can be summed up in one word: consumption.
Now the super mutants only need to guard the front and back doors and 4 towers, which is indeed very easy, but what if they can open a few more holes in the wall?
Assuming that a section of the wall is blown down on the east, west and north sides, the enemy leader must send people to guard these extra holes.
It just so happens that there are a lot of explosives stored in the crater, and they are C4.
In the past, there were not many places where they could use them, and this time it is perfect to use them to blow up the concrete wall.
The enemy will set up an encirclement in the periphery in advance. If the enemy sticks to the wall, then grind hard from a long distance.
Every time an enemy is killed by a sniper, the defense inside will be weakened.
If the enemy rushes out, first kill the suicide bomber and heavy firepower, and then retreat immediately.
Less than two kilometers to the south are mountains and forests, and four kilometers to the northwest is Grafton. The terrain of these two places is complex enough, so it is not difficult to escape.
Wait for the green monsters to return to the prison, and then do it again.
The green monsters do not have an escape button, and the final direction of things is that the super mutants use their lives to consume their own bullets.
Although the specific number of enemies is unknown, it is best to guess that there will not be more than 50 super mutants and 10 mutant hounds.
This number is really not much.
Assuming that the super mutants really escape, it is just right, the crater is safe.
If the shelter boys feel that they must completely eliminate these green monsters, then chase them. It is not difficult to kill super mutants after leaving the prison, which is a solid fortress.
And Marvin is not at a loss, it is just right to brush up his reputation.
After discussing tactics, gathering time and place, everyone dispersed.
"Bounty hunter." Before leaving, the hot Anita Garcia asked casually, "The supervisor mentioned you. Is it you?"
Marvin nodded, "It's me, Marvin Geidema."
"Have you worked with Jayne Banks and others?"
"Yes."
"Where are they? I haven't heard from them for a long time."
"I don't know. The last thing they told me was that they went to Blackwater Mining, and then there was no news."
"Why didn't you go with them?"
"They didn't trust me, so they separated." Marvin asked knowingly, "What do you want to ask?"
Meg sat in a high-backed chair, and McCarron leaned next to the chair. The two looked like they were watching the fun, just missing a melon.
"Didn't you go to Blackwater Mining to look for it?"
Marvin frowned, and his tone began to be unfriendly: "I'm here to help, not to be a nanny. You'd better think it over before you speak."
McCarron stood up straight, his face was long.
Meg also frowned.
After all, Marvin's performance in the crater so far has been to her liking, strong and keeping his promises. The people in the shelter only gave her a bunch of scorched virus vaccines that she didn't know if they were useful.
If there is a conflict between the two sides, she will choose Marvin. This is due to personal preference and because Marvin brings greater benefits.
"Sorry, Mr. Geidema, that's not what I meant." Anita Garcia admitted her mistake decisively and smiled sweetly.
"Yeah, Marvin, don't mind, Anita is just asking casually." The black boy Denis quickly smoothed things over.
However, he remained silent during the conversation between the two just now, including captain Robert Vaughn.
Since the other party apologized, Marvin waved his hand to let it go.
After the three of them left, he went down and called Tal up and started talking about the car.
…
Meg returned the sketch to Tal and asked Marvin: "Are you sure a car like this can run in the wilderness?"
"There's no point in just talking about it. You'll know after you build it and see it. I can get the big parts, and I've covered the cost of the small parts. I just need Tal to assemble it. I've also negotiated his remuneration. Crater No extra effort is required, and there is no loss for you. If the car is really usable, can you still make money from this business?”
"Stop talking nonsense." McCarron curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Tal is responsible for all electronic equipment. Helping you get the car will take up a lot of his working time, but we won't lose anything."
As a subordinate, you must take the lead when it comes to bargaining. Otherwise, how about letting the boss take over?
Meg walked to the cabinet, took out two bottles of beer, walked back and slapped one bottle into Cyclops' hand.
"Get off, I don't need you."
"Oh." Macallan was not angry at all, he casually opened the bottle cap.
"Hey, when did you hide a bottle of 'Death Red'?"
Meg ignored him, sat down by herself, took a sip of beer, and said, "Yes, but you must ensure that you kill the super mutants in the Eastern District Prison. Of course, the 200 bottle caps are still valid."
"Okay, I promise."
The most difficult thing about attacking the East Prison is not the wall, nor the escape of the super mutants, but the battle after entering the main building of the prison.
If the enemy retreats into the main building, close combat will be necessary.
Melee combat is Marvin's strength, and the blue-skinned super-transformer's invisibility is ineffective against him. The only danger comes from self-destructors.
He had already figured out a way to do this and took over the task of attacking the main building alone.
That's why Meg specifically made this request.
…
In the wasteland south of the crater, two men and one woman were walking south with guns on their backs.
"Okay, we're out of the crater range, you can ask." Anita Garcia looked at the two teammates with a look of disgust, "You two look so disgusting."
"Marvin Guey..." They both spoke at the same time, and in the end, Denis left the opportunity to the captain.
Robert Vaughan asked: "You think there's something wrong with him?"
Anita nodded and said: "The guy who suddenly appeared is very powerful, and I don't believe you haven't noticed that his protective gear is very unusual. In short, I doubt him."
"What do you suspect of him?" Robert asked again, "Killed Jayne Banks and 10 others?"
"Walter? Boss, are you kidding me?" Denis' compliment was timely.
Anita also smiled and shook her head and said: "Not 10, Banks and the others have 11 people, at least 2 power armors. Haha, I don't think it is possible either."
Denis glanced at the hills on the right. There were several radioactive deer, but they were not dangerous. He turned around and said, "That's right. Even if you can't fight, you can still escape by running, right? There are 11 people."
Anita thought about it and insisted, "It's better to send someone to investigate. I'm not too worried."
Robert always left this beautiful girl to deal with such things that took too much brain work.
"Then just look at the arrangements. Where should we go to investigate?"
"The foundation needs 2 people."
Robert waved his hand: "Don't ask me, ask someone to find Lily. She has the most people now."
"Okay, then I'll look at the arrangements."
The two teammates were talking, and Denis was paying attention to both sides and behind him. After all, this was a dangerous poisonous valley.
When he saw that the two of them had finally finished chatting, he turned around and asked: "Anita, don't you hate Banks' team? Especially that blond girl Galin. Why do you still care about this nonsense?"
"After all, they all came out of the shelter and went to school together. We have to find out." Anita said to the two companions, "Don't be more sincere when dealing with that bounty hunter in the future. Well, just keep it the same as before. good."
"As you command, sir." Robert and Denis put their fingers on their foreheads and performed a ruthless military salute.
"Get lost. Also, don't let anyone else know about this."
"Why?" Denis asked in surprise.
"I have a hunch that we need his help to explore the source of the Radiation Corpse Virus?"
This time even Captain Robert Vaughn was surprised. He asked: "You mean the bounty hunter?"
Anita nodded: "Yes, it means him. Especially you, Denis, keep your mouth shut."
…
With all the matters in the crater done, Marvin teleported back to the lakeside manor.
That woman, Anita Garcia, had doubts about him, and that was normal.
In a short period of time, all 11 people in a team disappeared, and he was the only non-staff member alive and well. He would be suspicious if he used his brain even a little bit.
But he wasn't worried.
If Vault 76 is viewed as an organization with the core goal of rebuilding Appalachia and rebuilding the United States, it must be biased towards lawful good.
Let’s look at the management model of this organization.
The supervisors only provide general guidance and suggestions on important tasks. The shelter boys have no idea whether they will listen or not, and they have no control over them.
What is the difference between this and no management? Note①
Considering the current situation of the wasteland, transportation basically relies on walking and communication basically relies on shouting.
A large group of people scattered in the vast mountains, in fact, there is no way to strictly manage them.
This has led to the extremely loose status of Shelter 76.
Lawful goodness means that they must handle this matter in the form of investigation and trial, and they must produce evidence to convince everyone.
But the wasteland is in such a mess now, and Marvin is an experienced veteran who has done a very thorough job of destroying the bodies and traces. It would be a miracle if there is evidence.
If Shelter 76 is managed strictly enough and has a strong leader, then even if there is only suspicion, it can be dealt with by direct violent means.
Unfortunately, they don't have it.
These are all things Marvin thought about before he took action, so he is not afraid at all.
Even if some teams intend to resort to force... hehe.
As for whether suspicion will hinder his cooperation with Robert Vaughan and others?
As long as he can bring greater value, it won't.
Let's put it this way, if you are the president of Branch 1 of the A Union, you have two allies.
One of them is the X Union, which has few people but is very powerful, can fight and resist, and can always help you fight against strong enemies.
The other one is the No. 2 branch of the A Union, but you have nothing in common with him.
Who do you like?
…
Marvin sat in the workshop, reorganized his thoughts, and after making sure there was nothing missing, he turned on the learning machine.
[Tip: The biological collection mechanism has been adjusted. In the future, you only need to collect special organisms according to the prompts, and other organisms will not be accepted. ]
[Tip: The task system has been upgraded and the long-term task mechanism has been improved. The rewards for long-term tasks are not limited to books and knowledge, but also include attribute points, free attribute points, ability points, RP points and equipment...]
This tip is particularly long, but it explains the long-term task mechanism very clearly.
Long-term tasks are divided into two categories. One category is to calculate rewards uniformly according to the task evaluation after completion.
The lowest task evaluation is E, the middle is D, C, B, A, and the highest is S. The higher the evaluation, the richer the reward.
If the evaluation does not even reach E, the task fails, not only will there be no reward, but there will also be penalties.
The penalties include but are not limited to the deduction of RP points, attribute points, and ability points. Failure of certain key tasks may even lead to forced execution.
Marvin already has one such long-term task, which is "Mothman Cult".
This task has changed after the update.
[Tip: The task "Mothman Cult" has been changed to a long-term task, and the task content has changed. ]
[Task Tip: Mothman Cult, fourth ring (the first three rings have been completed). Find the lucky mine. Completion time limit: 15 days. Due to special reasons, this task has been accepted and must be completed. ]
Another type of long-term task is piecework mode, with rewards for each completion. After reaching the task time limit, the overall evaluation is calculated, and additional rewards or penalties are given.
He also has one such task, which has also changed after the update.
[Tip: The task "Accommodate large server units, large energy facilities, and artificial intelligence hosts" has changed. ]
[Task Tip: Technological creations. Accommodate large technological creations such as large server units, large energy facilities, and artificial intelligence hosts. Each time you must accommodate technological creations according to the prompts, the rewards will be calculated separately for each accommodation, and the task evaluation will be calculated when the task time limit is reached. Completion time limit: When leaving this world. Due to special reasons, the task has been accepted. 】
Compared with the previous tasks, there is not much change. In fact, there is only one more word "wait", but this word includes too many things.
The emergence of such long-term tasks will give him more opportunities to get rewards and become stronger quickly.
However, the prompts did not end.
[Prompt: The task item "God Servant Mask-Low Level" is detected in the inventory. Do you want to submit? 】【Yes】【No】
This obviously refers to the deer horn skull mask. Such a weird thing is a disaster if it is kept in hand. It is the best choice to get rid of it quickly. Marvin immediately chose yes.
The two words "God Servant" and "Low Level" seem to imply special meanings. Marvin tried to ask the learning machine, but did not get a reply.
[Prompt: Submission successful. 】
He was a little annoyed at this moment.
He was too straightforward when he killed the high priest, resulting in no chance to ask where the lucky mine was.
But at that time, he didn't know that the real powerful thing was the mask rather than the person. The high priest was actually cowardly and weak.
If it happened again, he would probably kill the other party first without hesitation.
There is one last hint in the learning machine.
[Task hint: East District Prison. Eliminate the super mutants in the East District Prison, find out the origin of the blue super mutant and the secrets of the East District Prison. Task time limit: 3 days. Due to special reasons, this task has been accepted. ]
…
Note ①: In the Fallout 76 game, all the people in Shelter 76 are played by players. Everyone knows that the fourth disaster is extremely chaotic, and all NPCs don’t know what these weird players are thinking. (In fact, they are just completing the tasks assigned by the system, dog heads.)
With the tone of "democracy and freedom" in the United States, if there is such an organization to rebuild the United States, it will probably be like this. So the current situation of Shelter 76 is actually not inconsistent, and I also used this setting in the book.
