Chapter 1878 Protection
After this episode, Yang Weite’s frustration at losing 600 bottle caps also dissipated.
When he turned back, the captain also gave him a bounty of 50 bottle caps.
They said it was given by the owner of the village. They killed 15 gangsters and Mr. Knight gave him a reward of 1,000 bottle caps. Everyone thought he was too unlucky this time, so they included him.
The bait also has merit, which is very reasonable.
Yang Weite was very grateful and made a delicious meal of corn cakes for the captain and the soldiers.
Then he worked harder. In addition to growing corn, he also planted watermelons, figs, olive trees and many other crops.
Shelter Villa is becoming more and more prosperous.
Until one day, the kind-hearted old Popsicle brought back an injured man and he said that he knew the whereabouts of the other man's son.
Yang Weite went over to look at that person, and the other person gave him a somewhat familiar feeling.
After returning home and sleeping, he realized that the other party was somewhat similar to the woman who cheated him of 600 bottle caps.
They are all sincere and their words are very trustworthy.
He stared at the injured man secretly.
The other party told Lao Bing Guan that his son was taken away by the college for experiments.
Then Old Popsicle took a few followers and walked towards Diamond City where the academy is located.
Three days later, a group of mutants were led near the villa, followed by a group of gangsters.
It’s just that they never expected that the villa had been prepared early.
As soon as they rushed to the outside, they were hit by a minefield, followed by machine gun fire, and then sniper armor-piercing bullets.
The powerful mutants were named one by one.
Old Yang Weite was horrified to see those powerful green men, each two or three meters tall, with skin harder than steel, and ordinary bullets would bounce away when hit.
Only hitting weak spots, such as eyes, necks, and joints, will hurt them.
The real threat is those large armor-piercing bullets. A bullet is as long as twenty or thirty centimeters and as wide as two or three centimeters.
It just fires slowly, but if one hits, a mutant will fall.
The attacks of mutants and gangsters were quickly repelled.
The captain still caught a few gangsters who were injured and unable to escape. After questioning, he called Yang Weite.
"Your information is accurate. It is the tip from the traitor. I will immediately send a telegram to Mr. Knight to tell him to be careful." The captain said to Old Yang Weite.
"Okay, sir, you must be careful." Yang Weite said worriedly.
Only the next day, the captain summoned everyone in the villa and announced a bad news: "Mr. Knight was ambushed and his whereabouts are unknown."
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment. good.
Yang Weite’s brain cracked with a bang. He had a feeling that his stable farming life would soon come to an end.
Sure enough, the captain continued: "Our funds and weapons supplies are all dependent on Mr. Knight. If he disappears, we will soon fall into an unsustainable state. We will be out of ammunition in a month at most."
"Wait a minute, our villa can produce a lot of things, can't we still maintain a financial balance?" Old Yang Weite asked anxiously, using the words Mr. Skillful Hands told him.
"Are you talking about those food crops? They are quite valuable, but our villa still needs to supply the needs of the volunteers, and that is the bulk, so they cannot be sold for money." The captain shook his head.
"How did Mr. Knight supply ammunition when he was here before?" Old Yang Weite asked again.
“Oh, that’s because Mr. Knight has the authority of a shelter administrator. There is a weapons and ammunition production line there, which can use steel, plastic, oil and other raw materials collected from the wasteland to continuously produce Only Mr. Knight can provide ammunition, especially expensive special ammunition, the kind that just killed the mutant," the captain shook his head.
Yang Weite understood.
Ordinary ammunition can be bought from outside, but special ammunition cannot be bought outside.
Without them, the Villa is defenseless against mutants. To be honest, this kind of isolated mountain villa has abundant resources to use, but safety is the biggest problem.
It is precisely because of Lao Bingluo's special ammunition that they can escape from the protection and exploitation of big cities and big forces, become independent outside, and freely use various resources.
The Villa was therefore very wealthy.
But these special ammunition cannot be bought outside. They are strategic resources, and the processing technology is very, very difficult.
Old Yang Weite didn’t know that even in the 21st century, there are only a few big countries that can make special armor-piercing bombs.
Don’t call it a wasteland.
"The villa can be maintained for a month at most. If it exceeds this time, we will give up. We will either go to work in a pioneering land near Diamond City or go to the Volunteer Army Castle." The captain finally made the decision.
A month later, Yang Weite pondered this word and returned to his home in the villa.
This is a large house of 200 square meters, with two floors.
The first floor is the living room, kitchen, entertainment room, and guest room.
The guest room often receives soldiers who have finished their patrol and take a temporary rest.
He lives alone on the second floor.
There is a separate bathroom, water heater, air conditioner, and a radio that can listen to a dozen wasteland radio stations.
There is also a record player that can play records from before the wasteland.
He is living here like heaven these days.
No one laughed at his disability, no one ridiculed him, no one hit him, everyone was smiling.
He eats well, sleeps well, and lives well. In the short time since he came to this world, he has gained more than ten pounds.
And now, this little paradise in troubled times is about to disappear.
He is going to an unknown place, where there will be many thieves, liars, and gangsters, just like the woman who defrauded him of six hundred bottle caps.
He should always be careful and open one eye at any time when sleeping...
He thought like this all night.
The next day, with red eyes, he made a request to the captain: "I want to save Mr. Knight."
"Ah? You want to go? I'm about to gather people, do you really want to go?" The captain was a little surprised.
Yang Weite is a guy who vomits when riding in a car, a diligent farmer, and the only guy who is willing to listen patiently to that shabby robot for a whole day.
"Yes, I'm going too. I can at least help you carry ammunition and dry food." Yang Weite said firmly.
“Well, we do need a reliable and loyal support staff, at least someone who will not run away when we are in a disadvantageous situation. Can you do it?”
“Can do it? ." Yang Weite said firmly.
In order not to lose such a beautiful life, in order not to return to the precarious life in the civilized world, he is willing to pay any price, even his life.
In the past, he had always wondered why the noble knight was willing to sacrifice his life and lead his people to follow the king to resist the invasion of other kingdoms.
Now he understands that in order to protect his wealth and life, he can do it too.
He had nothing before, so of course he couldn’t understand it.
If the knight does not resist, the land will be taken away by other kingdoms and distributed to other knights.
That's why the knights had the courage to charge against the enemy's sharp arrows and spears.
