I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

[Yes, those Brotherhood of Steel people are mobilizing manpower.] Ximo shared his vision. He had already sneaked up to a place very close to the Brotherhood.

Although these Brotherhood members were well-trained and had received counter-reconnaissance training, their pitiful experience was nothing compared to the more powerful Simo, who was even more powerful than the elite NCR Rangers.

From Ximo's perspective, the newly appointed elders had already begun transforming this area into a simple settlement. The iron plates that had been discarded were used to build dozens of two-story houses, while the outer walls were pieced together from scraps cut from the construction.

Although it looks very simple, apart from the buildings and communities left over from the pre-war period, this type of iron house and iron wall is the most common settlement style.

While the Postman worked hard to explore Zion, these tenacious members of the Brotherhood of Steel built their new home from scratch. The elder also did not forget to send the surviving and more experienced scouts to survey the surrounding environment and collect necessary regional information.

Not long after these scouts went out, they returned with good news: they had discovered a very hidden tunnel. After an on-site inspection, they found traces of artificial construction inside and immediately concluded that it must have been dug by people before the war.

This news immediately caused cheers within the Brotherhood. The elders immediately dispatched more scouts to search in other directions—Sun Yang was certain he was looking for any humanoid figures he had left nearby.

Unfortunately, the Brotherhood soldiers had no idea where the Palette Squad was staying.

Because they have stealth power suits and advanced visual and directional sound pickup systems, the members of the Palette Team usually just find a big rock or a hill with a good view and sit on it.

Rather than being discovered, the humanoids are more troubled by the fact that the sun here makes them uncomfortable. Everyone wants an optical camouflage cloak, or just stay in the shade.

Makarov's comment on this was: You'd better stay in the sun for another 24 hours to cure your bad habit.

By now, everyone in the Brotherhood of Steel had their own room, and their living environment and rhythm had gradually stabilized. The Brotherhood's soldiers searched for a long time but couldn't find the scouts left behind by Sun Yang.

Finally, after the technology that had been brought out had been properly placed, the elders began to centrally manage the weapons and armor in the hands of the members, cobbling together some good equipment and handing it over to the best warriors and the bachelors who had the most research on pre-war technology. They formed a group of scout teams and went into the tunnel to conduct surveys.

199 Old World Blues

Old World Blues, Great Mountains. Here lies the glorious achievements of the Old World, the most incredible and cutting-edge technology of this pre-war world.

In the years before the war, the Great Mountains were where the brightest minds of the 21st century gathered.

Farsighted scientists flock here to tackle the most advanced technological challenges of our time, striving to create a new world fueled by science and technology and dedicated to the well-being of all humanity.

They are searching for the keys to a new world: sonic transmitters, Saturn alloys, DNA recombination technology, force field particle research, and holographic technology.

In medicine, there are also advances in automated doctors for craniotomy, spinal replacement, and heart replacement. And the Override Suit, a suit capable of precisely controlling corpses in combat, may look crude, but it boasts far more technological depth than the exoskeleton suits used in advanced warfare.

Not to mention the horrific corrosive red mist of the Madre Casino and the relentless storms of the Great Rift Valley—the skin-shredding storms there are the very weather-control systems the mountains have thrown over for experimentation.

Even teleportation technology is common here. You only need a teleportation signal gun to move back and forth where signal points are set up. It's outrageous.

A century of hopes and dreams becoming reality in the electronic forge of the Great Sierra.

At the heart of all this research lies the Dome, a vast stone structure housing laboratories encompassing every technology known to man. This is a think tank where no problem remains unsolved, no question unanswered.

The great war of the 21st century gave new energy to its scientists. Over the years, their minds and the vast computer systems of the Great Wall produced a series of dazzling achievements, from weapons blueprints to theories of nuclear physics.

But on October 2077, 10, scientists received the answer, the answer to all. The Atomic God unleashed his wrath, and the world was plunged into war.

And so, the silent experiments of the Great Mountains fell into slumber, and their creators slowly died in the remaining new world.

The massive stone building in the center of the Great Crater remains intact, filled with countless technological wonders, quietly awaiting visitors.

Sun Yang finally confirmed the location of the Thompson team. The helicopter pilot was flying non-stop towards them. The few humanoids he brought with him were all well hidden.

The humanoids carried EMP grenades and plasma weapons, but AAT was the only one armed with the Oasis prototype heavy laser rifle—a weapon with an extremely high output power, almost dangerously so. Holding it in his hand, AAT felt like a purpose-built, one-man industrial cutter.

Based on his experience in developing engineering equipment at Vulcan Heavy Industries, Crouch created a heavy-duty laser cutting machine that only a humanoid can hold and move freely.

This weapon was a new experimental device created by the Oasis Research Department after they heard that power armor could easily withstand their laser machine guns. Even in a laboratory setting, this weapon's power is sufficient to penetrate Saturn alloy in a short period of time.

But the heat dissipation problem caused by excessive power is unsolvable. The device that can maintain long-term firing is too large and heavy, and it is better to put it directly in the car.

While the humanoid's power output is already quite formidable, it ultimately has a limit. Oasis's research department hasn't yet solved this problem, so they've installed a detector that locks the trigger if it overheats.

This solution made AAT very suspicious that the experimental weapon in his hand would suddenly explode while in use.

Makarov simply placed AAT in a separate place to avoid a fight later. She would hit the head and remove the limiter, and then try hard to blow herself back to the base.

"Commander, those Brotherhood members have already gone in. What should we do?" M14 asked, holding his rifle.

"Let's wait until they are driven out by some strange thing. Now is not the time to take action. Let's wait until Thompson's team comes back." Sun Yang was very calm. He was not worried that someone would get to that place first.

"Are we just going to watch them go in? Commander, would you like to eat a human statue? You seem to be seriously zombified." M14 asked, pulling out a small, pitch-black human statue from her pocket.

"I'm fine, but it's true that I haven't used a portrait for a long time. Let me try one out." Sun Yang crushed the portrait taken out by M14, and a surging and mysterious power flowed into Sun Yang's body.

"My senses seem to be a little more sensitive, but the difference is not big. It seems that the process of zombification is closely related to the strength of the soul. It's quite humane. I thought I would start to forget things soon. After all, I am a person who has absorbed a lot of souls." Sun Yang moved his body.

"I'm not saying this, are there really any powerful people here? With so much amazing technology, they should have rushed out to wreak havoc on the world long ago, right?" M14 felt that Sun Yang was being unreasonably cautious.

"We need intelligence. Don't worry, it would be great if half of these people could come out."

"How strange, Commander! You're the type who cares more about stealing advanced technology than paying your dues to the AR team... They're clearly trying to take our tech." M14 pointed at the Brotherhood of Steel expeditionary team happily heading into the tunnel at the foot of the mountain.

"Just talk less. I don't have the time to do this kind of thing. Can we not mention this kind of thing in the channel?" Sun Yang rolled his eyes in frustration.

"It doesn't matter. My team and I don't mind." Makarov, who had once experienced the music party brawl, had become indifferent. As long as these people couldn't operate the base without proper maintenance, Makarov didn't care.

"Never mind, let me explain. These Brotherhoods are our guinea pigs. There are a lot of amazing things in the Great Mountain Range. For example, what did our Oasis Research Department say about Saturn Alloy?"

"The blade of this table knife can deflect all of our small-caliber ammunition. If you stack it up thicker, it could even potentially block the large-caliber armor-piercing rounds used by Ms. NTW and the electromagnetic rounds fired by Ms. M14. Making a table knife out of this alloy was simply someone's brainchild. It's like using a gold shovel to dig." Simo, who had been staying at the oasis, gave the answer.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't demoralize your own people before the fight even starts! The weapons we have can barely even knock out the Brotherhood of Steel's power armor, okay? If it weren't for the power armor, the Research Department wouldn't have pulled out such a dangerous experiment." Sten from the Palette Team popped up and said.

"I feel like I'm holding a bomb... My branded weapon is just an ordinary machine gun, but now I have to fight with a laser cutter that can cut through a dozen of my enemies in a second. I feel like I'm worth less than this weapon." AAT said with a hint of resentment, holding the laser weapon thrust upon him.

[But the nuclear fusion core in our body can also be considered a bomb in theory.]

"Stop the small talk. Anyway, considering the enemy's technological sophistication is quite high, I'm going to have them conduct reconnaissance and test their weapons with cannon fodder. Let's see what tricks they can come up with. In a few hours, we'll have over a dozen tactical figures and three helicopters. I'll be here too, so it won't be a problem for me to provide you with heavy firepower. Coincidentally, we also have retired AGS grenade launchers..."

"I remember we used that thing to blow up the giraffes near our base? Even after changing gear, the heavy armored team wouldn't even touch them. It was so much fun..."

I refuse to accept that ugly, carnivorous creature is called a giraffe! Giraffes are supposed to yell "I understand" and eat leaves!

"Be quiet. Don't act rashly before the Thompson team and the helicopter arrive. People nearby should stay as close as possible and carefully observe the situation of the Brotherhood reconnaissance force. M14, stop playing tricks." Sun Yang reprimanded him a little seriously, and then the Palette team, who were laughing endlessly, quieted down.

[Roger that. Fine. I'm just worried they'll get in unhindered and take everything. I'm too anxious...] M14 muttered softly.

"Don't take it too seriously. It's a good idea to just speak your mind. I also have to rely on your independent judgment. Sometimes, only those who are on the scene can make the most correct judgment." Sun Yang touched M14's head. "Also, when the fight breaks out later, if someone asks you, just say you're an Enclave soldier."

"Are we really going to use this cover? I saw Ariana's report, and this organization has a terrible reputation."

[Previously, I used a completely unrelated storyline to target an extremist religious faction. This time, I'm going to target the most notorious local faction. Commander, you made a good choice.]

"I've noticed you're becoming more and more sarcastic. Of course, I want his notorious reputation. Only by using his name can we attract the most hatred and justify our evil deeds! Damn it, I can't help but have a huge fight with all the bastards in the wasteland!"

"I don't mind exchanging blows with a powerful opponent, but what does the Enclave name have to do with the Great Mountain Range?" M14 asked doubtfully.

"Because the Great Mountain Range was the top secret scientific research base of the United States before the war, and the Enclave was the shadow government of the United States before the war. Don't worry, the people here definitely have no contact with the Enclave, otherwise they would have come out to ravage the wasteland long ago. When the time comes, you will just have to see how I can trick those guys." Sun Yang touched his chin confidently.

"I have a feeling things won't go smoothly. I'll be ready for battle," M14 said.

"We have to beat them down first and then talk. It's been two hundred years, and it's no longer an era where you can make people give in just by talking. Unless you are a postman, you can convince people with your brain and talking." Sun Yang murmured, and he continued to observe the situation in the tunnel through the vision of other humanoids.

Despite this, Sun Yang had already forgotten a bit about the Great Mountain Range DLC process, and even had a vague memory of how many technologies were available. After all, the storyline of "Fallout New Vegas" was very complex, and the Great Mountain Range DLC was all he remembered for, which was that the technology was awesome and the monsters were difficult to defeat.

Preparing an Enclave identity should be enough to trick the pre-war scientists inside. But I'm afraid the scientist on the other side dislikes the Enclave, which would be a disaster.

The Brotherhood warriors had been in the tunnel for a while. Even if they were moving at a cautious pace, they should have almost finished the tunnel and officially entered the mountains. It was a bit strange, why was there no movement?

Just as Sun Yang was thinking this, he heard a heart-wrenching cry for help coming from the circular valley in the mountains.

"Commander, the Brotherhood of Steel is organizing a defense!" Ximo's eyes began to focus, looking deep into the tunnel. At the very back of the tunnel, dozens of Brotherhood soldiers coordinated their fire while running towards the rear.

In the deepest part of the tunnel, there are more than a dozen mechanical scorpions larger than humans chasing after them. At the end of the tunnel, there are more scorpions waiting for action.

These scorpions were painted red and yellow, and their tails were pierced by a laser cannon that fired continuously. The Brotherhood's soldiers repeatedly tried to destroy the mechanical scorpions with their weapons, but their armor was incredibly tough. The lasers left only black marks, and all live ammunition was deflected.

While the scorpion's lasers weren't very accurate, they were incredibly powerful. Occasionally, they would sweep across a soldier's back, sending them sprawling and collapsing. Their backs had been pierced.

The clothing worn by these Brotherhood scouts could not effectively resist such high-powered laser weapons. After all, all the armor that could withstand lasers had been confiscated by Sun Yang.

The last remaining Brotherhood soldier threw out EMP grenades, plasma grenades, and fragmentation grenades, hoping to short-circuit or paralyze the mechanical scorpions, buying time for the Brotherhood's allies who were fleeing in front.

But after these grenades were thrown and exploded, the mechanical scorpions only showed obvious signs of damage in the places where they were hit by the plasma grenades, and the EMP only briefly stopped for a few seconds. These mechanical scorpions had been treated to resist EMP when they were manufactured.

The elders of the Brotherhood called on the people around them to start building a defense line, and more and more explosives were taken out from the camp.

Although the entire camp was a bit messy, it was generally well organized. Everyone knew what they had to do, and the rescue team that had been prepared was also rushing towards the tunnel.

But these mechanical scorpions were no pushovers. Equipped with the latest technology from the Great Mountain Range, they chased the Brotherhood warriors out of the valley and launched a fierce attack on the Brotherhood's base.

Red and white lasers intersected in the air. The Brotherhood was firing all sorts of weapons, but most of them didn't have weapons that could penetrate the Saturn alloy armor on the scorpions.

Only a few skilled marksmen with railguns and heavy-caliber anti-material rifles, as well as those throwing plasma grenades, could take out a few of the mechanical scorpions.

[This isn't good. It feels like the Brotherhood is about to be destroyed!] AAT said.

More and more scorpions emerged from the tunnel, and the Brotherhood, lacking heavy firepower and protection (all taken away by Sun Yangmao), began to lose members rapidly. These men, who were not particularly skilled in combat, were targeted and killed one by one by the laser weapons on the tails of these mechanical scorpions.

[Fuck, are these guys any good? They've only been in there for less than an hour?] M14 immediately controlled the puppets, rifle in hand, and dispersed nearby.

"M14, you are responsible for sniper support here. I will go to allocate more firepower to the Palette Team. Palette Team, Ximo, if necessary, stop the Brotherhood of Steel who are preparing to retreat." Sun Yang gave the order, he ran quickly, turned on the stealth module on the power suit, and hurriedly ran down the mountain.

[Stop the Brotherhood?!] Ximo frowned. He still didn't like the feeling of kicking someone when they were down.

"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. Humans, I'm here for revenge." AAT raised his heavy laser rifle expressionlessly, ready to give these Brotherhoods a little Griffin shock.

However, Sun Yang's fears didn't materialize. The Brotherhood's defeat was swift, faster than anyone could have imagined. The number of mechanical scorpions pouring out of the tunnel had finally surpassed the Brotherhood's capacity to handle.

The Brotherhood soldiers armed with armor-piercing weapons were quickly wiped out, and the remaining members fell into a state of collapse after the elder was killed and two-thirds of them died.

They fled from the front line. These clerks and inadequately trained people did not have the willpower to fight against these mechanical scorpions.

The mechanical creations that emerged chased the remnants of the Brotherhood for several kilometers, fighting them as they went, until only a few people were left, and then they returned to the depths of the tunnel.

Sun Yang asked the Palette Team to completely clean up these people. Using the remnants of the Brotherhood to test out some of the defensive capabilities here was not a big loss.

200 Brave Fighting the Great Mountain Range

The mountains returned to calm, as if the fighting machines that had surged out before were nothing more than an illusion. But the corpses lying on the ground and the destroyed camp were not illusions.

The bodies of the Brotherhood members killed by the mechanical scorpions were collected by the scorpions, probably for burial or something else.

Sun Yang did not send out the humanoids, but just remained vigilant and asked the humanoids to use observation methods to find the weaknesses of these mechanical scorpions as much as possible.

After looking at it for a long time, it seems that there is no particular weakness. If I had to say it, it would be the laser cannon at the tail that would be damaged. For a moment, no one had a good idea.

"EMP can't even disable these things, forget it." After Makarov finished speaking, the humanoid that had been trying to hack the mechanical scorpions crouched down again, looking unconvinced.

While waiting, Sun Yang also began to worry.

Something was amiss. If Sun Yang's memory served him right, those mechanical scorpions were created by a mind called Mobius. He had no reason to kill them all, right?

It's hard to say. In the original work, the postman often encountered the mechanical scorpions sent by Mobius while working. If they encountered the postman, they would beat him up with laser guns.

Moreover, other thoughts also mentioned that none of the brainless people sent there came back alive.

After thinking about it, it wouldn't be strange to kill everyone. After all, this was a strange force that came in with powerful weapons. The Brotherhood had too many people, and Mobius's hometown was right next to them.

After all, no matter how conscious and humane one is, it's probably impossible to send a bunch of fully armed soldiers off in a dignified manner. I wonder how those brotherhood members communicate.

Sun Yang waited until the Thompson team and three helicopters arrived near the Great Mountain Range before preparing for action. He had originally wanted to bring the Postman with him, but he realized he had just finished a DLC story and didn't need a few hours to rest.

It's too difficult for her to run two DLCs and carry out high-intensity activities in a row, so let the Postman Team go.

Sun Yang provided supplies to the humanoids. Furthermore, Ximo and the Palette team had previously recorded the signal characteristics of these scorpions using their own observation equipment.

Oasis's scientific research department will program these features into the smart grenades, and then the humanoids can take out MDL and happily throw plasma grenades at the heads of these scorpions.

Team Thomson and Team Palette took action. Sun Yang's operation was far from low-key. He had the humanoids wear exoskeleton suits that enhanced their mobility, and then directly boarded three helicopters to cross the ring mountain range and fly into the interior of the mountain range.

***

The best scientists who still survived here had already used advanced surgery to remove their brains from their bodies and placed them in metal tanks filled with life-sustaining solution. Now, they are called thought bodies.

They replaced the original eyes, mouth, hands and feet with Tesla coils, speakers and display screens.

They no longer need to move their limbs to conduct experiments. They only need to send instructions through the coil to allow the machine that receives the signal to conduct the experiment automatically.

In October 2077, nuclear bombs spread the flames of death and destruction across the world. However, this secret laboratory built into the mountains survived the nuclear inferno.

However, due to the complete collapse of the US government, the vast majority of personnel were forcibly laid off, and the remaining staff all died due to various bizarre experimental accidents caused by the thought entities.

This valley of hope for America's revival was ultimately left with only six minds and a bunch of experimental subjects.

The thinking bodies continued their research here. To them, love was nothing more than a side effect of hormones, and morality was nothing more than shackles that constrained wisdom. There was no sense of camaraderie among them; they were merely pawns used by each other.

Perhaps it was the aftereffects of being transformed into a thinking body, or perhaps it was the long-term, unscrupulous experiments that blurred the boundaries of their ethics and morals.

These scientific leaders, who lost government control after the nuclear war, fell into dangerous confusion, and some of their minds also lost their identification with humanity.

What would endless scientific research without constraints look like?
