I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

The red fog here is a weird thing created by the mountains. As for its specific composition, Sun Yang did not find the exact answer before he became an immortal. There are only various speculations from netizens.

Some say that red fog can effectively isolate radioactive dust and other radioactive substances, but most of this kind of stable fog is harmful to the human body.

The "inert" red fog that can block radiation is the best among them. Local construction workers and miners have been infected by this thing, and their entire bodies have become inert. They will never die even if their heads and limbs are chopped off continuously.

The reason for this conclusion is that netizens tried different resistances and PERKs in the game, and finally found that the damage in the red fog has nothing to do with any resistance, and it is purely percentage damage.

814 The Thirty-year-old Kirin

It is said that the red fog was actually given to the casino owner by the Great Mountain Range in order to test its effect on living things.

Although Sun Yang knew that the boss had installed the generator to protect the casino's safety, he still had to admit that it was quite unethical. He didn't care about the lives of the people around him, did he?

The ghosts that roamed around here were the ones who hadn't evacuated successfully and were forced to cling to life in the casino in hazmat suits. After all, the magical vending machines here would continuously spit out all sorts of necessary supplies as long as there were chips. No matter how you looked at it, life here was easier than the outside world.

These people wore chemical protective suits and relied on the chips they found to survive. But the problem was that these chemical protective suits could not fully protect them.

After a long time, the ubiquitous red fog transformed them into a special kind of existence. It was useless to penetrate their bodies with weapons. Their heads or limbs had to be chopped off to calm them down.

Finally, there are traps everywhere in this place. In this casino, there is a ghoul who has been active here for hundreds of years due to his obsession. This ghoul does not have the ability or courage to kill all the ghosts, so he relies on traps set everywhere to reduce the number of ghosts.

This corpse ghost is one of Elder Elijah's designated teammates. In the original plot, the mission cannot continue if the three designated teammates are not rescued and found.

That definitely can't be done by someone else, this has to be done by one of our own people. Sun Yang wasn't in a rush. He would wait until Team 404 actually captured Elijah before dealing with the casino's internal affairs.

According to Sun Yang's memory, the owner of this casino had somehow tied the grand opening to the grand celebration. In other words, if the grand celebration activities were not completed according to the process of hundreds of years ago, the casino would not open.

Although he could force his way in to search, doing so might cause some technological items to be damaged. Therefore, Sun Yang decided to follow the formal procedures.

Of course, Elder Elijah's actions were not in accordance with the regular procedures. This old man came here to covet the technology here.

Everyone who comes here has their own obsessions and is unwilling to give up their goals. After all, if they don't have any obsessions, they won't be active in this hellish place.

After Sun Yang sent the members of Team 404 away, he took out the Pip-Boy from the pit and looked at the map here.

In order, Sun Yang should first look for the blue-skinned mutant with schizophrenia symptoms, followed by the Brotherhood's inner circle assassin who had undergone surgery on his brain and vocal cords, and finally that weird zombie.

Of course, Sun Yang didn't plan to look for these three people. Anyway, there were no other living people in this place except Elijah and these three people. So he just let them stay there honestly.

"You've been here for a long time." Perhaps because Sun Yang stayed in one place for too long, Elijah's voice came from the Pip-Boy.

"I have to do some reconnaissance and collect some supplies. I seem to see something moving in the red fog." Sun Yang tried to communicate with Elijah.

"The red fog is poisonous. Don't stay in it for too long. Those moving things are ghosts. They are very strong and extremely difficult to kill. You don't have enough confidence to avoid their movements." Elder Elijah's voice stopped abruptly.

"Hello, hello, hello?" Sun Yang knocked on the Pip-Boy, but Elijah's voice did not appear again. Sun Yang decided to play a little trick, "You are not a defected elder of the Brotherhood of Steel?"

Normally, Elijah would have jumped out and started rambling after being called out like that. Sun Yang knew this guy's personality to some extent. He was very controlling, and if someone talked nonsense about his fraternity status, he would definitely jump out and say a lot of nonsense.

No old man jumped out, and the Pip-Boy remained silent. This confirmed that the Pip-Boy only had the function of recording and playing fixed-point broadcasts. In that case, there was no need to be so secretive. Sun Yang looked around, picked up the casino chips on the ground, and ran to a nearby vending machine.

Vending machines capable of unlimited production as long as there's electricity—this kind of technology actually exists in a civilization that hasn't even ventured into space yet. Honestly, the Fallout world already has all the necessary conditions for space travel. If House could truly integrate all this ridiculous technology, he'd likely be able to revitalize human civilization and colonize outer space in his lifetime.

"Go ahead." Sun Yang easily returned the chips and the vending machine to the base, allowing the humanoids to slowly study them. If Elijah could crack the vending machine's production code, there was no reason the humanoids couldn't do it.

Sun Yang's actions were careless, with no intention of hiding. The ghosts moving slowly in the red mist immediately noticed the unusual movement nearby and twisted their bodies to pounce towards him.

Speaking of which, should we capture these ghosts and use them as research materials... well, forget it.

Sun Yang took out an unenhanced black soul weapon from the base. When the ghost on the opposite side was still several meters away from Sun Yang, he suddenly jumped over with his weapon and slashed at him.

It was a handcrafted weapon made from a long pole and a table knife bound together. While crude, it was still dangerous for ordinary adventurers stripped of their weapons by the security system. After all, the difference in combat effectiveness between a human with bare hands and one armed with a long weapon was enormous.

I seem to recall the text mentioning some special material used for this knife. I only remember it being incredibly powerful at severing limbs, but I don't recall much else.

Sun Yang held the Hyde straight sword in one hand, intending to use his own to block the ghost's slash. Even though the opponent's body had been transformed and possessed a strong strange power, it was still not bad for the undead.

Then Sun Yang watched helplessly as the dinner knife directly cut through Hyde's straight sword, and the remaining force continued to chop into Sun Yang's protective suit. Fortunately, Sun Yang's protective suit was a traditional Griffin-made heavy style, so the dinner knife stopped halfway through.

Holy shit! What the hell is this material?! Wait, I remember, this knife is made of Saturn alloy? I remember the article describing it as incredibly sharp, and the boss bought it and it caused a lot of bloodshed. And when the chef uses it, he often accidentally chops the ingredients and the cutting board together.

Damn it! No wonder it was so easy to chop up demons with items made of table knives in the original game. It would be a miracle if this wasn't easy!

Sun Yang quickly threw the broken Hyde straight sword back to the base, took out his shotgun, aimed at the ghost and fired a shot, sending the ghost flying.

The ghosts infected by the red fog, the byproducts of this red fog infection are neither powerful nor useful, but the corpses can be used as materials for research.

You can collect a few machines that produce red fog as backup. The red fog produced by this thing is said to be able to absorb radioactive dust and radiation, and may have some special uses.

By comparison, the table knives they use are far more dangerous and powerful! We must inform the humanoids of this and collect the table knives—Casino Madre, you're really going to give me a hard time!

130 Give Elder Elijah a Little Shock

Listening to the gunshots coming from afar, Elijah sat calmly in his safe house, quietly waiting for the person he had captured to arrive at the designated location.

Next to him was a vending machine, and behind him were piles of casino chips he had rolled out by hand. Inside his safe house, various technological gadgets were neatly arranged.

In front of Elijah was a display device that could accurately track signals, as well as a device that monitored nearby radios.

The sounds of fighting and gunfire could be heard. Well, it seems the people we've captured this time are quite capable. Perhaps we can continue our exploration for a long time. Elijah smiled with satisfaction, feeling one step closer to success.

This was a test. The battles on the road, the broadcasting system he had deliberately repaired, were all for testing. Those who weren't alert enough, smart enough, or strong enough to survive outside the casino wouldn't be able to carry out the next mission.

It's better to have a stronger chess piece in your hand. Elijah rubbed his eyes and thought about his future plan.

Beep, beep... A trap he had set somewhere was triggered. Elijah turned on a nearby shelter security intercom to check what had triggered the trap.

It was just a ghost who somehow wandered into the vicinity. The nail gun trap set up by Elijah easily shot through the ghost's body and nailed it to the ground.

This kind of thing happens occasionally. Although Elijah's idea is to let the ghost act as his sentry, this thing can't understand human language and has hands and feet, so Elijah can only give up this plan.

We'll clean it up later. Elijah wasn't in a rush. He'd set over fifty traps around the safe house. By cracking some of the vending machine codes and understanding some of the local technology, Elijah had built himself a relatively comfortable safe house. He couldn't help but recall the time he first arrived here.

Initially, Elijah experienced tremendous setbacks. As an elder of the Brotherhood of Steel, he had made unforgivable mistakes. Elijah shouldered a heavy responsibility for the Western Brotherhood's current state. Unable to bear the punishment, Elijah chose to flee.

Firefights, bloodshed, and ultimately, Elijah was left alone, trudging through the blazing sun, the sun practically touching his head. But at that moment, the very sight of failure was a sobering reminder.

After that, he wandered around alone. He witnessed the great storm of the watershed, dealt with the people of the Western Honey Rhyme Tribe, and finally walked all the way to the Great Mountains.

Then Elijah heard the radio broadcast of the Madre Casino and heard the woman's voice. It was the Madre Casino calling, promising a chance to start over for those who came here.

These are all bullshit.

Elijah had followed the signal and had come all the way here. Using others, he searched the entire city. Those captured died because of Elijah, and they continued to kill each other.

Elijah also nearly got himself killed during his adventures. He was trapped in the Madre Casino and nearly stayed there forever. The dangerous ghosts and red mist inside the casino were equally deadly to him. This experience made Elijah more cautious and careful.

He's spent a long time building up to his current situation, choosing to manipulate others into doing his bidding rather than exploring for himself. He recruits schizophrenic mutants and constantly kidnaps those unlucky enough to follow the signal.

Oh, the Casino Madre, it's both a fortress, a secure base, a guarantee of safety, and a weapon, a weapon of world domination. It's a chance for the world to start over...

Once I decrypt the files, I can customize the Mojave to my own specifications.

Throughout Elijah's long journey, this deadly red mist appeared only here. It's no coincidence that it's associated with the Madre Casino. It protects the casino and preserves it to this day. Of course, it could also be used to preserve other relics of the Old World, purifying them as well.

As Elijah delved deeper into holographic technology, he lost interest in the technology stored in the Grand Sierra facilities. Only the Madre Casino had properly utilized holographic technology.

Holographic security will destroy all intruders. Throw a single launcher into the battlefield, and I'll be invincible. I'll hold the light in my hands, so you can't escape it, you can only watch it burn in your hands.

Just equip a launcher and you can form a rapid reaction force, which will be invincible.

And that's another thing Elijah wanted from the Madre: its generosity of spirit, the kind of machines that filled its streets and corridors.

They can provide almost everything you want. In the pre-war era, this might have been a common thing. After all, there were supermarkets everywhere at that time, and people could just go there and buy whatever they wanted. People ignored this kind of technology.

But now it seems that this ability is so valuable that it can even give you a chance to survive.

It would become a source of food, supplies, medical supplies, ammunition... Elijah intended to make more collars, and if necessary, even print currency and create a nation.

Those collars were all pre-war technology. Elijah guessed that this magical land had always had a demand for absolute obedience before the war.

The red mist grants me invincibility, while the collar guarantees absolute obedience. Holographic security provides defense. The vending machine provides everything else I need.

"As long as this technology is used correctly, Madre's technology can destroy a country or create another one." Elijah muttered to himself. He had enough patience to wait for others to explore the deepest level of this casino for him.

Beep, beep! The alarm blared again, but this time it was a little too close. Elijah checked and discovered that the security locks outside the safe house were being forcibly cracked. By the time he noticed, four of the seven electronic locks had already been cracked.

What the hell?! How, how could it happen so quickly?! Elijah panicked. What kind of unholy thing had been released?! He quickly manually locked the door to the safe house, activated the automatic turret, and turned on the security intercom to see what the hell had opened the door to his safe house.

But through the intercom camera, Elijah could see nothing in front of this crude lens. Although the automatic turrets were raised, they did not detect any unauthorized units and were just performing normal security work.

It is impossible for anyone to crack it remotely. The system is not designed to be cracked by radio signals. It can only be unlocked through a terminal.

Was it someone wearing a stealth suit? How could that be possible? This kind of equipment wouldn't be able to get past the holographic security system and should have been confiscated. There was no way it could bypass the security system.

Elijah stared intently at the camera, trying to discern any changes in the low-bitrate footage. Could it be that Robert Industries' terminal was malfunctioning? "That's impossible! I've studied terminals for decades, and there's no such thing as a bug."

Something seemed to move in front of the camera. Accompanied by a dull sound of shooting, the automatic turret was penetrated and the camera was subsequently shattered. The warning system prepared by Elijah was useless.

Elijah had heard of such a force. This force came from the other side of the ocean. They used powerful stealth clothing, mastered Gauss weapons, and were proficient in various engineering and computer knowledge. They specialized in assassinating military commanders and government officials.

But that was before the war. Two hundred years have passed. How could it possibly appear in this place again?!

Wait, the guy I captured looks Asian?! I thought he was just Asian, but could that guy be bait? Did the enemy's invisible troops follow him all the way in?

Damn, we were already so careful. Who knew such a force would appear? Could it be that the Shi still have a small group? Or are they remnants of the Enclave coming here to collect technology?

Elijah quickly packed up all his belongings and took his Gauss rifle with him. He had already considered the possibility that the safe house would not be safe, and had dug an escape route long ago.

Elijah has no intention of letting go of the technology here. Only he can enjoy all the technology here, and only he is worthy of owning the technology here!

Elijah thought indignantly as he opened the tunnel door. A dull thumping sound could be heard from outside, as if someone was trying to force the door open. It was a pity that without a welding gun or something, the door would be—

Elijah seemed to hear some movement outside the door.

HK416 outside the door pulled out a silent bomb, placed it on the ground, and activated it. Meanwhile, UMP9 placed a set of barrier-breaking bombs on a nearby wall.

Both of these are technological products from the previous era. The Silent Bomb can reduce all surrounding sounds to a very low level for a certain period of time. The Barrier Bomb, on the other hand, is a wall-breaking tool composed of a welding gun and high-performance explosives.

In the previous world, even reinforced concrete walls could be demolished, let alone this safe house that had only been simply reinforced.

Boom! A low explosion sounded, sending rubble and wood chips flying into the small shelter. Elijah's various technological creations were also partially destroyed in the explosion.

Elijah sensed something was wrong and hid under the table, avoiding being covered in gravel and sawdust. However, the shockwave from the explosion still knocked him unconscious for a few seconds. After gradually recovering, Elijah slowly got up.

If he opened the secret door now, he would be noticed. He had to kill one of them first and then use grenades to stop them from coming in. This would buy him time. Elijah cautiously huddled up, quietly waiting for the opportunity to come.

"Oh, my goodness! Can't we just change the charge?" UMP45 said, maintaining her cloak, looking at the hole. "It's a miracle if the people inside don't get killed."

"There's nothing I can do. How could I have known this wall only looked thick? It's just wooden planks underneath. If I'd known it was so thin, I would have torn it down with my bare hands. This is just an overestimation." HK416 retorted over the comms channel.

[Alright, alright, let's go inside if we want to see him alive or dead.] UMP9 was about to go in when she heard the news from Sun Yang.

[That guy is definitely not dead. If he were, the collar would definitely react. It wouldn't be silent until now.] Sun Yang, who had just used a shotgun to deal with a bunch of ghosts, took off the fake collar from his neck.

Since the other party has already discovered that something is wrong, there is no need to pretend to be a grandson.

[I see.] UMP9 dropped a stun grenade. Amidst the roar and flash, Elijah screamed, and he fired a shot on instinct.

Bang! The high-velocity bullet from the Gauss rifle pierced the nearby wall, and the metal ball bullet embedded in the opposite wall. The members of Team 404 looked at the bullet hole with lingering fear.

"That shot will definitely shatter my head. It's a bit less powerful than our Gauss weapons, but it's still dangerous." UMP9 muttered to herself before dashing into the room.

An old man was trying to get rid of the troubles of blindness and tinnitus. He was trembling, trying to hold his weapon tightly, relying on his hearing to identify the direction of the enemy, and then use the Gauss weapon in his hand to give the opponent a hard blow.

But he didn't have another chance. UMP9 accurately shot a fast-acting anesthetic into the gray-haired old man's neck. Elijah immediately pulled out the needle and tried to find an antidote.

But while he was still trying to think of a drug that could counteract the anesthetic, the effects of the drug had already caught up with him. Elijah tried to get up, but the anesthetic took effect very quickly.

Elijah was no longer allowed to do anything. In despair and confusion, he fell into a deep sleep. Before his thoughts were cut off, he was still thinking about how to survive the torture that was about to happen.

[Huh~ This guy is pretty smart.] UMP9 took the gun from Elijah's hand, tied the old man up with handcuffs and nylon rope, and carried him over his shoulder.

[Thank you for your hard work. Just bring him to the pool. The mission isn't over yet.] Sun Yang had already put away his shotgun and was firing bullets through the fine net used to catch wild animals.

The research department explained that the strange ghosts' condition was primarily due to the red mist and the chemical suit's effects. While the contents of the ghosts weren't particularly valuable for research, the suits were still somewhat useful. They hoped to gather more lively ghosts.

There's no need to worry about them going berserk. The humanoids here are definitely stronger than the demons. The researchers themselves can hold down the demons.

So, while Sun Yang waited for Team 404 to return, he used a capture net to trap the demons, then reached over and teleported them away. While it would have been easy to cut them apart with their weapons, the demons were too stupid to resist. Griffin pulled out something like riot gel, and Sun Yang retrieved one, wrapping it up.

The demon's arm strength was far inferior to that of the humanoid and industrial exoskeleton, so it was easily suppressed. The knife was recovered and the demon was sent for examination.

Logically speaking, the ghost man should be considered human, but Sun Yang didn't absorb the soul after killing it. It was precisely because of this that he could easily send the ghost man to the Oasis base for research. After all, things without souls are very easy to transfer.

131 Assigning Tasks

"Aha, we're talking about Elder Elijah. Well done, everyone." After Team 404 came back, Sun Yang and others happily looked at the unconscious old man.

This Elijah is no ordinary person. Even if nothing else, the fact that he cracked the code is incredible. People like him should be arrested and put in solitary confinement long ago.

"Next time, you can let us perform a more difficult task. This is just a warm-up at best." 416 said proudly.
