I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

"Novak? There are a lot of things going on there, so we might have to stay there for a while. As I said, let her do whatever she wants. Also, don't use too much force in combat. We might need a powerful courier who has been tested in battle for a long time." Sun Yang gave orders as usual.

As a human, she's quite strong. It'll be very handy to get local intelligence from her. Also, that one-wheeled robot named Victor we encountered outside of Novak Town is giving me a bad vibe. It's spying on us. I wonder if I can find a chance to take it down.] Ariana gave an additional report.

"Don't touch it unless there is a special situation. It is one of Mr. House's spies. Well, Mr. House is the controller of New Vegas. Don't alert him before I communicate with him." Sun Yang naturally knew that he had found a Victor robot to follow the postman all the way.

"That won't work either. Commander, why don't you switch to a T-doll with stronger penetration abilities... Um, does Griffin have any good penetration abilities?"

"You need an American cultural background to do this," Sun Yang said simply and clearly.

This America isn't the America I used to live in... The history, culture, and technology all don't match.

"That's still better than a T-doll who's been in America for less than a month. At least you won't complain too much about the abundance of canned goods and weird pre-war advertisements here."

"Then I certainly wouldn't find it strange. Was going to America for a month a large-scale combat operation carried out by the T-dolls before I arrived?"

"That's what happened. I went too far back then because I didn't target light industry, heavy industry, or scientific research departments. I only killed people whose deaths wouldn't affect people's lives. But because I targeted too many people, I was brought to this world."

"Later, I will bring out the other T-dolls who have finished their rest. You can just share information with each other then." Sun Yang added.

After exchanging some details, Sun Yang hung up the phone, strolled around the desert mountains, and then lifted up something that looked like a manhole cover.

While Ariana was running around with the postman, Sun Yang was also doing something very important.

In addition to the Mojave Desert in the main game, the game Fallout New Vegas also has four DLCs located outside the main game, and these places require special means to reach.

"Just let Ariana take care of the postman. I'll be responsible for recycling the technology."

For Sun Yang, the most important technologies in the Fallout world are: small nuclear fusion engines, miniature nuclear fission batteries (although they are called nuclear fusion batteries, they cannot actually be made that small), reliable laser weapons and plasma weapons.

These powerful energy weapons are usually only in the hands of technologically advanced forces, such as Mr. House, the Brotherhood of Steel living in the bunker, and the elite troops of NCR.

It was somewhat unreliable to ask one of their own humanoids to negotiate, so they had to handle this matter themselves. Fortunately, the current battle situation was still difficult to resolve, and the Legion's infiltration raids could only slowly drain the two-headed bear, and it would not be able to shake NCR's size advantage for a while.

"So, is this the place?" Sun Yang went down the vertical shaft. The space inside was not small, and the surrounding steel plates had not been eroded by time. This should be an abandoned secret stronghold of the Brotherhood of Steel.

On the surrounding walls, there are various writings in paint and ink that read "SEERA MADRE", which are facing the interior of the room.

Sierra Madre. This is also the location of the infamous New Vegas DLC Dead Money. Sun Yang is quite familiar with what's going on there. Not recycling that technology would be the biggest waste.

As for this place... To put it simply, Dead Money is the darkest place in the entire game, full of all kinds of malice. New players can contribute nearly half of their mortality rate throughout the entire process here.

When the player enters, all items on their body that are judged to be dangerous will be confiscated by the Madre security system. This will make the player lose all means of attack and struggle to use the limited supplies here to fight various strange enemies.

However, these problems only apply to the postman in the process, so Sun Yang is unlikely to be caught. But the problem is that Sun Yang is not sure where the casino is located. He only knows that it is located deep in the valley east of New Vegas.

If you want to get through, the most convenient way is to follow the process.

Normally, Dead Money enters the Sierra Madre out of curiosity or simply a desire for adventure. Once the adventurer follows the radio's instructions and arrives at this secret location, they'll be knocked unconscious by the poisonous gas inside.

Then, in the blink of an eye, I found myself at the entrance of the Sierra Madre Casino.

Of course, Sun Yang knew exactly who had done this. It was the cunning Elijah, a defected elder of the Brotherhood of Steel. He had set traps across the wasteland to lure people in, then sent his controlled, schizophrenic mutants to capture the drugged-out victims and bring them to the casino to use as his pawns.

The pieces have self-destructing collars attached to their necks. If they attempt to escape Madre, the collars will be detonated by Elder Elijah, and radios and loudspeakers near the casino will also be detonated. Basically, the number of deaths caused by the collars being detonated will be very high.

This is it, Sun Yang walked in pretentiously. He smiled and said, "I don't need to bring weapons, and your system can't control my cheats."

Deep in the bunker, a radio was playing a message luring people to the Madre Casino. It seemed that this machine was constantly luring others here.

Sun Yang walked towards the radio station. Suddenly, thick light green fog quickly spewed out from both sides of the room, and the door behind him was slammed shut.

Hmm... feeling okay? Sun Yang took several deep breaths before feeling a little sleepy. This amount was not enough for ordinary people.

Sun Yang unleashed the Holy Bell, unleashing the Miracle of Healing Tears, and his spirits instantly lifted. This Miracle instantly cleared the toxins and negative states from the caster and everyone around them—what constituted negative states wasn't fully understood yet, and he hadn't encountered a problem that couldn't be solved by this Miracle. It could even clear accumulated radiation from the body.

Although he sometimes forgot that he was an undead who could cast spells, Sun Yang watched boredly as the anesthetic smoke stopped spraying. Finally, after applying a healing tear to himself, he lay on the ground pretending to be unconscious.

A few minutes later, the exhaust fan in the room started running, emptying the anesthetic mist outside. A large door in the stronghold opened, and a tall, blue-skinned mutant walked in. It roughly grabbed Sun Yang from the ground and carried him on its shoulders, leaving through the door it had come in through. After walking through the tunnel for a long time, it arrived at the entrance of a hidden valley.

So that's how it is. This place is really hard to find. Sun Yang, who pretended to be unconscious, had already secretly opened the path recording system, waiting for this mutant to take him there.

Casino Madre, here I come!

127 Elder Elijah, your skills are so poor

You've heard of the Sierra Madre Casino. We all have, its legend, its curse.

In the fool's fantasy, in the heart of the City of the Dead, beneath the blood-red clouds, a magnificent monument leads treasure hunters to their doom.

The world's most famous stars and entertainers were all invited to its grand opening. To be invited signified... something extraordinary.

An opening ceremony is supposed to symbolize the path to a bright future, not just for this world... but for every customer who comes through. It's a chance for everyone to start over.

But the Sierra Madera never opened. The war had frozen it in time, like a giant flashbulb. The grand opening—the end of humanity.

It's still there, deep in the wasteland, preserved to this day, just waiting to be pried open. But honestly, that's not the problem.

Letting go is the hardest thing.

***

The Madre Casino is different from other casinos. Specifically, this casino uses a lot of pre-war high-tech equipment, and its investors and builders even intend to turn it into a doomsday fortress.

This casino cooperated with an organization called the Great Mountain Range and obtained the outrageous technological facilities in the Great Mountain Range through various means.

Before the war, these technological gadgets served the region's superstars and entertainers, but now, they have become lethal instruments of destruction. Careless adventurers unaware of the workings of these machines can be reduced to corpses in seconds.

Sun Yang was carried by the blue-skinned mutant into the Madre Casino. When passing the casino's perimeter, Madre's automatic security system scanned Sun Yang and, after confirming that he was not carrying anything dangerous, allowed him to pass.

Elder Elijah must have cracked some of the vending machine technology here, allowing him to use whatever he had on hand to create explosive collars... This ruthless guy put one of these things around the necks of everyone who made it here alive. If they didn't do what he wanted, the explosive collar would kill them.

Moreover, Elijah had a malicious idea to combine the collar's detonation signal with the broadcast signal, so as to prevent anyone from sneaking away when he wasn't paying attention.

Old Bidden was completely obsessed with unlocking the casino's secrets and taking all this technology for himself. Sun Yang also had a pretty good idea of ​​what these holographic technologies were.

Simply put, vending machines convert energy directly into matter, producing the desired items. Casino chips seem to have a special function, but they simply serve as currency. The vending machine's production has nothing to do with chips. It's all about the nuclear generator inside.

The holographic guard uses holographic technology to compress photons, giving it the ability to shoot at enemy targets.

Sun Yang didn't know what principle this was based on, but considering that these terrifying technologies were one of the most advanced technologies before the Great Mountain Range War, it was normal for him not to understand it. Maybe even the humanoids would be confused.

But it didn't matter that he didn't understand, as long as the scientists in the Great Mountain Range understood. If the people in the Great Mountain Range understood, then the humanoid would also understand it after copying the scientific research documents.

However, rather than going to the Great Mountain Range, Sun Yang chose to go to the Madre Casino first to fight this Elder Elijah. There was no other reason, it was simply because this guy was too insidious, and Sun Yang would not be able to sleep well if he didn't get rid of him quickly.

"Very good, very good. Dog, put him here and put an explosive collar on him." An old voice came from nearby. The only one who could call a mutant like that was Elder Elijah.

Sun Yang closed his eyes and soon felt a cold metal collar around his neck. However, this collar was actually useless. He could be sent back to Griffin Base with just a thought.

It doesn't matter. Let's finish the things here first and stabilize that old guy Elijah. If he goes crazy and sets up a program that will blow up the casino if he dies, Sun Yang will cry.

Soon, the strong mutant carried Sun Yang forward for a while, put him down, and then moved away. If nothing unexpected happened, he should have obeyed Elder Elijah's request and entered the police station jail.

Well, it's about time to wake up. Sun Yang opened his eyes and slowly got up from the ground.

The surrounding area was dotted with dilapidated buildings, their visibly dilapidated state resembling shoddy pre-war construction. The walls were supported by a thin layer of wood, covered with cement and paint—a truly shoddy construction. After hundreds of years, some of these houses still stood, while others had their wooden siding exposed.

It was unclear what time it was, perhaps dusk. A thick red fog hung over the sky, and in the deepest part of the fog, a silent casino stood there.

Before Sun Yang's eyes was a circular pool that had long since dried up. In the center of the pool stood a holographic projector, and a white-haired, bearded old man stared at him intently.

"Can you hear me? Very good. From now on, when I speak, you will obey my instructions."

"You are playing dumb and trying to be clever, but you made the mistake of saying 'no'. The collar around your neck will explode and take your head away with it." Elder Elijah said to Sun Yang in an attitude that could not be refused.

"How did I get here?" Sun Yang asked, opening the window and contacting the Oasis humanoid to reversely locate Elijah's position.

"Hmph! Here? You walked into one of my traps in the Mojave... lured in by a signal from the Sierra Madre. Now, here you are, with a collar around your neck. It's like one of those Pip-Boys some of these guys have, only loaded with explosives. A little old-world radio, just tuned in." He gave a twisted smile.

"Do as I say, and the collar won't go off—refuse, try to make trouble, run away, disobey me? I'll kill you and find someone else. If I don't let you go, you'll have nowhere to run. The sooner you accept this reality, the better it will be for you."

"Commander, we've completed reverse positioning. Our survey indicates this individual is in an environment with numerous radio devices. We haven't detected any cameras around you. However, this collar has a positioning function." The Oasis scouts reported.

This means that this old man relies entirely on positioning and communication to determine his location. Without holographic images, he is completely blind.

"Uh, okay, I get it. What am I going to do?" Sun Yang scratched his head. This is so convenient. Once I'm far away, I'll send someone to tie you up in a minute.

128 Trouble you

According to Elder Elijah, this mission requires Sun Yang to gather other people here before he can complete it.

Before Sun Yang was captured, Elder Elijah had already recruited over a dozen people to help him explore the casino's perimeter. Some had already died during this time, while others were still alive, quietly awaiting the implementation of the action plan.

To prevent internal strife, the elder even linked everyone's collars together. If one person died, all the others would die. It must be said that this was a very cunning idea.

"I left you a Pip-Boy and have passed on the instructions and signposts on it so that you don't forget... Oh, of course, I can access your Pip-Boy. Bring the other three people here, and then I will give you more instructions. After doing this, I will let you leave, let all of you leave." Elder Elijah was still so arrogant.

"Okay, I guess that's all I need to know." Sun Yang looked through his window and saw that the humanoids preparing for battle were being equipped with exoskeleton-powered suits for special combat.

At the end of the last world, the AR team recovered a lot of invisible exoskeleton combat suits. This optical stealth can completely deceive most surveillance cameras or human eyes.

After being adjusted and repaired by the research department, some of the stealth exoskeleton combat suits were in good condition and ready for use by combat troops, while the remainder were handed over to the Oasis research department for further technical development. Strade, working at the Oasis, had already adjusted the suits using repair magic and repair light powder. Sun Yang intended to assign Strade to maintain the difficult-to-mass-produce technological equipment.

"Very good. If necessary, I will remind you through the villa area's PA system. If you lose your target, return here and I will guide you. I've recorded the instructions on your Pip-Boy in case you can't read. If you forget why you are here, let my voice remind you."

After Elder Elijah finished speaking, a raised stone slab on the edge of the circular pool retracted. It should be the projector set up there before the war.

In the center of the pool, a holographic projection of a young and beautiful woman reappeared, standing there quietly.

It is said that Elder Elijah was well prepared and had taken all kinds of situations into consideration.

Even illiteracy and poor memory could be anticipated. Perhaps it was the work that the previous people had done for this guy that made him so well prepared.

Anyway, the old man finally finished his nonsense. The T-dolls had just finished their preparations, so it wasn't a waste of time.

Sun Yang picked up the Pip-Boy from the ground and left the gate. He went into a relatively secluded room and asked the humanoid to read the relevant data on the collar.

Soon, the humanoids made a collar with the same signal, identical to the one on the collar, but without the detonator. Sun Yang returned the collar to Griffin Base and took out the disguised one and put it around his neck.

The entire process took less than a second. Even someone as cunning as Elijah wouldn't have thought someone could possess such incredible power. At best, he thought the signal was unstable.

Since it was a disguise, he had to disguise it thoroughly. Sun Yang still felt that Elder Elijah would be able to detect the collar signal, so to prevent him from running away if he sensed something was wrong, he decided to wear the camouflage collar.

As for the Pip-Boy, Sun Yang didn't even bother looking at it. He simply dug a deep pit somewhere to bury it. Then he stood on the mound and shook the humanoid figure out.

Anyway, Elijah could only figure out his situation through signal positioning and the possible recording device on the Pip-Boy. So, if we could avoid these two problems, we would be done.

After all, a pre-war Pip-Boy didn't have that many amazing features, and we couldn't expect more features from a machine with less than 10MB of memory.

"Team 404, I'm going to trouble you this time. This kind of work still needs you to do it." Sun Yang rang the Holy Bell. Four fully armed humanoids appeared.

[Alas, our vacation was so short.] UMP45 flexed her arms. The submachine gun in her hand was already equipped with a silencer.

Beside her were UMP9, G11, and HK416 from the same team. All members of Team 404 were dispatched again.

Their exoskeleton combat suit, which has been disinfected and repaired, can effectively reduce the noise made during movement. At the same time, there is an independent battery on the back of the exoskeleton to provide energy for the stealth module.

"Elijah, Commander, do you want him alive?" HK416 asked.

"Make sure he's alive. Tie him up and keep him under strict surveillance when you see him. Other targets don't matter." Sun Yang gave his requirements.

[Hopefully, our stun grenades, foam gel, and quick-acting tranquilizer rounds can give him some surprise.] UMP45 tested the internal communication channel to see if it was working properly.

Apart from anything else, the humanoid's concealed communication link is indeed a dimensionality reduction attack on radiation.

After all, there wasn't much demand for this kind of technology in Fallout, or perhaps there was demand, but research progress was slow. For a civilization still using vacuum tubes to build computers, cracking covert communications was simply too difficult.

"The research team is already in place. Based on the machine data Ariana previously passed on, we can use our computing power to forcibly crack most of the electronic equipment here." The Oasis humanoid responded.

[Tsk, is this world's electronic technology backward or just bizarre? Even using 45% of my electronic warfare skills is enough.] After having the team members check their equipment, UMP activated its stealth function, climbed up the wall to the roof, and headed straight for Elder Ilia.

"Don't underestimate this place. Although we have an absolute advantage in computing power, humans in this world can design highly intelligent robots using less than a gigabyte of memory. According to the data Ariana sent back, some of them meet the basic standards of humanoids." The Oasis humanoid quickly exchanged views with UMP45.

[Oh? Can our mind cloud map be upgraded again? I feel like the research department is going to die from overwork. By the way, why is it all Ariana's intel? Where's everyone else's?] UMP9 chimed in.

"Because the professor only sent her a humanoid before you. Perhaps the professor was traumatized by the beating." The Oasis humanoid said succinctly.

"I see. I was wondering why the Commander was so conservative with his T-doll assignments. I had predicted he'd send two teams a day to destroy the bad guys in this land." HK416 agreed.

[And then, just as we were leaving this world, we were whisked away to another world by a wave that appeared out of nowhere? Our commander may not be as smart as he used to be, but he's not someone who learns from a single blow.] UMP45 glanced at the location found in the previous reverse reconnaissance.

Relying on the signal positioning system, Team 404 speculated that he had not yet come out - after all, no matter how familiar he was with this casino, Elijah was just a well-trained old man, and if he was not careful, the dangerous mechanisms here could kill him.

Generally speaking, unless there are special circumstances, this old man will not come out.

129 Boasting about Radiation Technology

There are three main deadly things outside the Madre Casino: the ubiquitous red fog, the immortal ghosts, and the numerous traps set by some weird zombie.

As for holographic security, it is usually concentrated in more important indoor places, and no one would place it inside.
