He was still in the room, and it seemed that the Rukatiye human with a good physique and good fighting skills was not there.
"It doesn't matter. As long as they're willing to help the wastelanders clean up their messes and protect the settlement, I won't care even if they're stronger than us." Sun Yang's finger flicked across the window, scanning M4's eyes as he reviewed the intelligence compiled by the postman and the humanoid team. "All of this is acceptable. Your primary mission in Fallout is to gather technology; helping out is essentially a side job."
"Then why did you bother with NCR before? Was it just for the profits from the farming industry?" The postman sat down next to M4 and listened to the lecture.
I don't need middlemen or intermediary currencies. The staple foods, vegetables, and subsequent livestock farming I grow are what I need. It's not that I want NCR to be stable, but what I want is that NCR needs a stable environment to produce efficiently. After all, no one will honestly farm during times of chaos.
If I didn't dislike everyone on the West Coast, I wouldn't have sent a humanoid over there to cause chaos. If the locals can handle it themselves, then let them do it. I think the Eastern Brotherhood of Steel is pretty reliable. At least they won't take money and then not help in the fight.
After Sun Yang finished speaking, the postman compared it in his mind.
Apart from the difference in size, there is really nothing wrong with what the East Coast Brotherhood of Steel does.
If the original NCR were really asked to build a water treatment plant, the people who were responsible for it would have no money, no manpower, and no supplies to complete it; when a certain force was about to finish it, the water purification merchants would definitely come to make trouble; and when it was finally finished, the larger NCR forces might come over and try to take the water resource allocation quota for free.
"It's definitely much better than the ones on the West Coast." The postman nodded.
"That's it, then. Leave the Capital Wasteland alone. It's all the stuff of the East Coast Brotherhood. Since we're allies now, don't dig around in plain sight. Go to Boston. The list I gave you contains a lot of local intelligence. You can find a lot of useful technology there." Sun Yang issued the follow-up instructions.
"You mean this, written down using divination? Haven't you ever been to the East Coast?" The postman pulled a scrap of paper from his pocket. "Vault 81's prototype potion and research robot Curie, the Mechanical Master Factory, the Academy's third-generation synths, the Boston Volunteers, Vault 111's Old Popsicle... Boss, do you have a code comparison book? I'll translate it for you."
"Technology, it's all technology. Just go find it. I'll arrange for other dolls to form a second force to support you... The mission will be quite long, so enjoy exploring Boston!" Sun Yang nodded vigorously, brushing the matter off.
"Don't make the mission sound like a game... I don't have anything to report. Yang, is there anything going on over there?" M4 said helplessly.
[Not yet. After all, I have to wait until Rukatiya finishes training. I'll use this time to follow up on the work in other worlds and provide some support. I can't command them directly, but I can still provide more manpower and ammunition.] Sun Yang glanced out across the screen.
"Rukatiye..." M4's eyes dimmed when he heard the name.
"We've already discussed this, M4. She's not an enemy, she's a future ally," Sun Yang said seriously. "M4, I'm not good at it, and I don't know how to say cheesy things. It's even harder for me to impress people. But that doesn't mean I don't value you. Do you want me to keep you by my side, staring at you all the time?"
"It's not that exaggerated." M4 frowned.
So, just don't exaggerate, okay? The postman, feeling like a light bulb, shifted his stance, not wanting to get close to these people whose minds were so wasteful.
"Yang, I want to try to become a human. I think my anxiety comes from the dislocation caused by my mind being too close to a human's and my body not being human... Dr. Pascal is not here, so I can only solve it in my own way." M4 said seriously.
"Aren't you just afraid that Ayang will be snatched away by humans? You say so many useless things. Look at this guy, he's good-looking and strong, but he didn't attract Ayang away." AR15 pointed at the postman who was watching the show.
"Hehe~" The postman smiled embarrassedly. Her smile made her look stupid, showing her charm of only 2 to the fullest.
Now AR15 understood why the postman couldn't snatch Sun Yang away.
"Are you M14? You want to try everything new? You don't even consider whether we have the technology... But the academy should have similar technology. If you get it, you can experiment with it." Sun Yang shrugged and agreed easily.
"That's good. There's no problem on my side..." M4 had just finished speaking when he saw a series of heavy footsteps coming from behind Sun Yang's window.
A blond woman wearing only a loose shirt and shorts, her clothes soaked with sweat, walked in from the door. Although her clothes were sweat-absorbent and breathable, they were now soaked with sweat, and the clothes outlined her beautiful figure.
Rukatiye tied her hair into a big knot and tied it behind her head. As soon as she entered the door, she fell to the ground and groaned like a zombie: "Uh...ah...I'm so tired..."
"Ah, you're back, Rukatiye. Has your soul transformation been completed?" Sun Yang turned his head and, without hesitation, pulled Rukatiye up. Rukatiye's wet shirt soaked Sun Yang's clothes, and their bodies pressed tightly together.
Rukatiye has been practicing alone for a long time. In order to consume the huge amount of souls she gained in the battle of the Black Mist Tower, she had to put her body through countless training sessions and then strengthen it with her soul.
Although he had no blood pressure, M4 felt as if his mind was boiling.
"Hmm..." Even AR15's expression changed a little.
"No, I'm still a long way off. But I really can't practice anymore. My spirit can't take it anymore." Rukatiye said weakly. Sun Yang dragged her into the bathroom next door.
Sun Yang threw in two sets of clothes, then turned back to his bed and continued to lie down. He paid no attention to Rukatiye, who was panting like a cow.
"No follow-up?" The postman subconsciously fanned the flames.
"I want to find some time to talk to Ms. Rukatiye." M4 said with pursed lips.
"I admit that my previous views were a bit biased. I also want to talk about it." AR15 also echoed after seeing this scene.
"It's not convenient now. She's not ready to understand what's going on here. Also, Rukatiye already sees me as a weird pervert who uses puppets to satisfy his desires. If you go over there and claim your sovereignty, I might lose my reputation." Sun Yang rejected their proposals.
"Hmm? Such a reputation?" M4 raised her brows slightly, and she felt her mood suddenly brighten up. "That's fine, that's good. There's nothing better than Yang having a bad reputation."
[Hey, hey, hey.] Sun Yang’s eyelids twitched.
"If Yang is too popular, I will be very distressed. Ah, thank Yang's parents for not raising Yang to be so handsome." M4 breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the ground.
[Forget it... As long as you're happy.] Sun Yang was speechless for a moment. After confirming the mission's progress with the irradiated humanoids, he closed the communication.
258 Main Tower Exploration
"Have you finished talking to your doll?" Rukatiye's tired voice came from the depths of the room where she was washing herself.
While fire can heal both the body and the spirit, it's hard to say whether a campfire can completely cure stress and fatigue. After completing his last set of training, Rukatiye dragged himself to a hot bath, allowing himself to fall asleep peacefully despite his exhaustion.
"My humanoids have some misunderstandings about you, but it's not a big deal." Sun Yang didn't really want to talk about these things. Although the humanoids were as loyal to him as ever, he still had some concerns.
"It's really not good for you and me to share a room..." Rukatiye scratched his head, "How about I move out?"
"What if you move out and someone takes advantage and slashes your throat? Do I need to use a doll to save you? Take a shower and go to bed. You have things to do tomorrow." Sun Yang opened the window and sorted out the supplies in his office. At the same time, he rang the Dragon Sacred Bell, teleporting several dolls from the Kenshi world who were preparing to go to other worlds for support.
"Good night, Sun Yang." Rukatiye quickly poured out the waste water and turned off all the equipment. Then he quickly got into bed.
Sun Yang had previously found it troublesome, so he installed a complete set of modern machinery and supplies deep inside the house to facilitate Rukatiye's cleaning and rest. Although Rukatiye was a rough and tumble man, he quickly mastered the use of the simple-to-use modern equipment.
"Go to sleep, go to sleep." After Sun Yang looked at the procedures provided by the agent and Pascal, he closed the window and went to bed.
The next day, while the team searching for technology in the radiation world was heading northeast to the Boston area, Rukatiye had finally finished refining the soul in his body.
Sun Yang immediately and mercilessly continued to lead Rukatiye to attack the Black Mist Tower. When Rukatiye got up from the campfire in the Black Mist Tower, he immediately summoned Sun Yang through the golden summoning talisman.
The air of the Black Mist Tower still carried the pungent smell of sulfur and dust. Rukatiye kicked away the thick piles of ash around him and, with Sun Yang behind him, explored deeper into the main tower.
"Stairs... no stairs?" Sun Yang looked towards the center of the tower. This hollow tower allowed one to see all the way to the bottom floor from the top.
The main tower of the Black Mist Tower is built around a thick metal pillar in the middle, which has a gear structure that has not yet started to work.
There were various protruding corridors and platforms surrounding the inner walls, but Sun Yang did not see any spiral staircases connecting the internal floors.
"At the very bottom. Look at the bottom, in the ash pile." Rukatiye crouched on the edge, only sticking his head out to point downwards. Looking down from hundreds of meters above, Rukatiye felt a little uneasy.
At the deepest part of the main tower, where the broken staircase lay, Sun Yang could occasionally see wisps of dust falling from the upper levels.
"I'll drive a wedge and pull a rope over. Rukatiye, you grab the rope and come over." Sun Yang asked Rukatiye's physical body to retreat to a safe place, and he directly hammered several metal wedges into the floor next to the campfire, and then tied the wedges to his power suit with nylon ropes.
Sun Yang jumped towards the gear below and landed steadily on the circular gear on the central column. The gear made a dull thud.
Sun Yang hurriedly grabbed the metal pillar, but the gears under his feet still held. Although the Black Mist Tower had a long history, it could still easily carry a human.
Honestly, it was a bit dangerous... Sun Yang's calves were spinning as he landed on the gears. His body was still instinctively resisting this suicidal behavior.
Of course, it is also possible that I am afraid of heights.
"Control your fall." Sun Yang cast a life-saving spell on the soles of his feet just to be safe. Although he hadn't dared to test the extent of this spell's control, he still had to use it.
He found a good angle, picked a platform and jumped over. Then Sun Yang tied the rope and called Rukatiye down.
Rukatiye shouldered his weapon and carefully climbed down the rope. Sun Yang pushed open the door next to the platform, revealing a tall corridor built with gray-white stone bricks.
The corridor was narrow, but the ceiling was high, about six or seven meters. At the end of the corridor and along the walls, there were metal boxes piled up. Sun Yang and Rukatiye quickly crossed the corridor, seeing metal boxes piled up on both sides. Rukatiye and Sun Yang opened a few of them at random, finding only scrap metal and garbage inside.
The topography and structure of this tower are extremely complex. It's hard to say whether this was originally designed that way, or whether the long battles necessitated repairs to the best of their ability.
Rukatiye advanced steadily using grenade launchers and broadswords, and sometimes they even had to run into the ruins of the outer wall to find a way down.
Often, a large number of coal warriors would come out to obstruct them. However, Rukatiye and Sun Yang had gradually figured out the pattern of the appearance of these coal warriors and virtual armors.
Although these phantom armors, or Nadra's soul, provided timely support, they lacked any anti-infiltration or anti-tracking capabilities. As long as Rukatiye and Sun Yang quickly eliminated the coal warriors, the phantom armors would be completely lost in their location.
Soon, the coal bride Nadra gave up the idea of shaking out a bunch of virtual armors to chase Sun Yang and Rukatiye, and just gave them a symbolic chase without fighting.
The two of them explored down the broken spiral staircase floor by floor. After Sun Yang arranged a dozen ropes, they finally reached the middle floor of the main tower.
There, Rukatiye saw Nadra's statue up close for the first time.
It was a statue that was pitch black like a block of carbon, yet incredibly flexible.
The statue flickered with deep black-red flames, illuminating the surrounding coal warriors and puppet iron warriors.
In addition to the shining flames, sweet and gentle whispers came from the statue.
"Finally... you are here... Come... Come to me quickly..." The sad and mournful female voice coming from the coal made Rukatiye frown.
"What the hell is this statue? Didn't you say before that Nadra dispersed her soul into these statues? Is she still alive?" Rukatiye huddled in a corner of the corridor and asked Sun Yang beside him.
"My answer is - don't think too much about these things. Did you see some spellcasters on the road? They were the troops sent by Dolan Gureg, and they were all bewitched by this Nadra." Sun Yang poked Rukatiye's armor.
"Who would be bewitched by hearing a few words? But, well, this statue has to be destroyed." Rukatiye silently loaded a high-explosive grenade into the grenade launcher and aimed it at the statue.
The statue continued to murmur in the clearing, completely oblivious to the grenade launcher being pointed at it.
"Let me surround you... I've been waiting for you for so long... Darling, I can't stand it..."
"Where have you been? Oh, it doesn't matter...as long as you're here..."
"I need your strength... I need you..."
boom!
Rukatiye only felt that she was hit hard in the face. She subconsciously wanted to swing her sword to fight back, but she saw Sun Yang's very distinctive helmet and the big sword in his right hand - there was blood on the sword.
"Thank God, Rukatiye, you're awake. If you were still confused, I would have punched you a few more times."
Sun Yang was panting opposite Rukatiya. He crushed a dripping stone and then used repair magic to repair the riot armor that had a big hole in it.
After Rukatiye's sword was strengthened by the wedge stone and his own arm strength was greatly improved, he was now able to cut through Sun Yang's riot suit.
"I'm awake, I'm awake. Was it me who injured you? But I was just about to fire a grenade..." Rukatiye looked to her left hand, and her grenade launcher had fallen to the ground.
"You clearly hit me with a sword. Rukatiye, when you see the statue, don't think about anything else, destroy it immediately. Don't underestimate the power of the Fallen of Darkness. After all, it is the appearance of the enriched ancient power." After Sun Yang repaired his clothes, he picked up the grenade launcher and handed it to Rukatiye.
"But I don't feel like I'm being controlled at all. I just... feel like I'm distracted. Sorry, Sun Yang, I don't mean to hurt you, and I don't know what happened. Hey, I'll make it up to you." Rukatiye knocked his head, feeling nothing special.
"Come on, if you compensate me any more, you'll be working like a slave. If the power of the Dark Fallen Child could be easily detected, we wouldn't have been unable to defeat him for so long. Pray for healing." Sun Yang, with the idea of trying everything possible, cast a miracle to clear the DEBUFF on Rukatiye.
"Thank you for your understanding, Sun Yang," Rukatiye hurriedly thanked him, then unleashed a barrage of explosives on the coal statue below. Sun Yang also pulled out his grenade machine gun and opened fire below. Soon, amid the roar of the grenades, the statue itself was reduced to ash. The power clinging to it quickly dissipated.
"We're making rapid progress..." Rukatiye patted his pockets, which were empty. "We're out of grenades."
"Here, do you have enough strength?" Sun Yang handed her more ammunition. "Do you think your relatives will be here?"
"I hope he is here, but I don't know how to find him... To be honest, I still want to find some people with whom I can communicate normally, but you know, there is no one I can communicate with normally on this road." Rukatiye loaded a new high-explosive ammunition and pulled the trigger at the Iron Warrior not far away.
The high-explosive grenade blew off its legs, and Rukatiye flew up, holding the greatsword tightly in both hands, dodging the puppet warrior's molten iron hammer sideways, and stabbing the tip of the sword into the puppet's helmet.
With the power of Rukatiye, the greatsword pierced through the helmet and destroyed the rune formation inside.
"At least you have become stronger, and the stronger you become, the more efficient the search will be. Have those who returned to Rumi mentioned your brother?" Sun Yang asked.
Sun Yang knew something about Rukatiye's brother's whereabouts... but at that location and time, it was very late in the process. It was highly unlikely he would be able to find him if he went there now.
There's no reason for someone to stay in one place forever; it doesn't make sense. If someone only stays in one place, it means they're on the verge of becoming a zombie and starting to invade others.
"I've asked. I've asked everyone who would return to Rumi. Bradley, Gulenkel, Scarlett, Lei... They've been to many places, but I've never seen another person holding a weapon and wearing the uniform of the Miller Knights. My fellow villagers don't know either." Rukatiye spoke like she knew everything. She was not discouraged by the long period of no clues.
Could it really be Andil's mansion? Honestly, I have no idea how to get there. In the original game, you reach the Temple of the Undead, defeat the King Shield Westad, meet the King's spirit, and then find the corresponding gate after obtaining the ring and opening it.
Of course, once all four King Souls were gathered, Andil, who had been observing silently, could come forward to answer the question. Although I felt quite weak communicating with such a person...after all, Andil was a person who had truly transcended the cycle of fire.
The only way to get Andil out is to collect the four king souls. Sun Yang has no intention of saving this world or this era, as long as he can find some good things.
If Andil wanted him to save the world, that had nothing to do with him. This world would eventually end, and there was no point in clinging to it. Unless it offered him some benefits, Sun Yang would still consider it.
The most disgusting thing in the world is the idiot who wants to take advantage of the workers for free. Sun Yang will not be fooled by a bunch of nonsense and go looking for a way to save the world. If he really wants to save the world, then Sun Yang must be willing to do it.
"Let's take it one step at a time." Sun Yang said indifferently. He drank a bottle of potion and then collected the remains of the iron warrior knocked down by Rukatiye back to the base.
Rukatiye and Sun Yang hardly got any rest. The sunlight outside the Black Mist Tower gradually dimmed as time passed, and then gradually became brighter.
Although there is no light inside the tower, the mechanical torches and ventilation passages everywhere keep the air flowing and the lighting inside.
Nadra's spirit still hovered above the Black Mist Tower. But the Dark Fallen, having abandoned its physical form, was powerless to stop the two. Sun Yang and Rukatiye forcibly raided the entire Black Mist Tower, from the inside out, along every accessible path.
The exterior of the upper half of the main tower was no longer recognizable. The Black Mist Tower was a structure constructed from several layers of walls and corridors. The complete destruction of the outer walls did not affect the production activities within.
The warlocks and coal warriors who had been shooting fiercely at Rukatiye and Sun Yang on the upper floor were turned into corpses under the attacks of their lightning spears, greatswords and grenades.
These warlocks, wielding lightning spears and using dark magic, were likely part of the magical corps dispatched by Dolan Gureg. These warlocks were completely bewitched by Nadra, emanating the power of the coal-black mist. They had lost all consciousness, becoming mere puppets of the black mist.
If Rukatiye had come alone, there would likely have been another loyal knight in the tower, wearing a Miller vest and holding a greatsword. She had no means of countering this control ability. Even Sun Yang could only beat Rukatiye hard when he saw something was wrong, to wake her up from her confusion.
Rukatiye seemed to realize that her relatives might be controlled by the Coal Bride here. Therefore, her footsteps and swordsmanship became more fierce.
