Chapter 426 An Ordinary Day (1)
Let’s talk about two sides, Novak’s side.
Reporter Liz, temporary guide Chris, and a nameless and insignificant photographer arrived here on horseback.
Now Novak has been completely renovated inside and out. There are four power armors stationed at the entrance of the town alone, watching the caravans and travelers coming in and out.
After entering the town, some high-tech equipment that even Liz had never seen before was being installed.
Just like the holographic security technology that Yi Beiwang had risked his life to snatch from the Madre Casino, it has now been installed, and the projected holographic security guards are patrolling the town according to the set programs.
The huge dinosaur that originally stood in the center of the town was moved away and replaced by a huge signal tower. Some technical workers are assembling and modifying it in an attempt to increase the transmitting and receiving power.
There is also a gold mine being mined outside the town, and next to it is a robot factory with the Robert Industries logo on it.
Facts have proved that as long as you dare to fight and work hard, there will always be big guys to support you, and the whole world is full of good people.
After conquering Neptune some time ago, the eBay Merchants Group received generous support from all sides and became wealthy all of a sudden.
House sent some robots over to help build the holographic security system. The robot factory was also his work, responsible for the production of robots and various weapons and ammunition.
The Legion was responsible for helping to clean up the remaining raiders in the Mojave. Without the four major gangs, the remaining raiders were just disorganized stragglers who could be easily dealt with.
The legion got free labor and the eBay business group achieved stable development. It was a win-win situation.
After hearing that there was a military factory in Novak, Caesar waved his hand and ordered War Fox to come and buy a large number of weapons and ammunition. Caesar's Legion can be said to be the largest customer of eBay Business Group at present.
As for NCR...ha, let's not talk about it.
Apart from Colonel Xu who came out to help calm the situation, there was no substantial reward, and they even sent soldiers over every now and then to eat and drink for free.
If it weren't for the title of "NCR Governor of the Three Towns of Mojave", Yi Beiwang really wanted to slap them and snatch all the bottle caps from their pockets.
Of course, Liz was unaware of these things. She was so busy eating at the roadside stall that she didn't even bother to take out the microphone.
In order not to be looked down upon by Chris, a local, Liz boasted after finishing her meal: "The people and things here are pretty good, but let me tell you, Shayin City is really prosperous."
"This is just a small settlement, but Shayin City is the largest human settlement in the United States. Counting the surrounding Hubble City and Underground Bunker City, the population is over a million."
Listening to Liz's boasting, Chris rolled his eyes at her and said sarcastically, "So what? The NCR in Mojave is still being beaten by the Legion and is in a state of panic. They can barely afford to eat."
"What's the point of bragging so much? I haven't seen it, so who knows if what you said is true?"
Liz retorted angrily: "NCR has returned to the living standards before World War I. Do you know what World War I was?"
"I don't know. I just know that the NCR can't even defeat a bunch of people wearing old armor and holding big spears."
"NCR citizens have all kinds of benefits, complete public facilities, basic education, medical care, etc. Do the Legion have these?"
"I don't know. I just know that the NCR can't even defeat a bunch of people wearing old armor and holding big spears."
"The citizens of NCR don't have to worry about food, clothing, and daily expenses. Can the Legion do the same?"
"I don't know. I just know that the NCR can't even defeat a bunch of people wearing old armor and holding big spears."
"...Can you say something else?"
"Of course, NCR soldiers can barely afford to eat now, so they are so poor that they have to come here to eat. If you don't believe me, look over there."
Looking in the direction Chris pointed, I saw several NCR soldiers rummaging through their pockets which were cleaner than their faces, but they couldn't even find a bottle cap.
In the end, they had no choice but to remove a few bullets from the gun as food money, and then leave together, looking so desolate and miserable.
Seeing this, Liz realized something was wrong.
That's not right. Even if the supply line can't carry too much supplies, there are only a few troops stationed in Mojave. It shouldn't be so severe that the soldiers can't afford to eat, right?
President Kimball had clearly attracted an investment half a year ago and injected all of it into Mojave. How could this happen?
The thoughtful Liz realized that there was either a problem with the supplies or a problem with the people who managed the supplies.
As a fearless reporter, Liz would not allow such a dark thing to happen under her nose. She decided to use all her strength to investigate the matter after returning to Shayin City.
If only I had a smarter assistant...
Liz looked at Chris who was chewing potatoes, poked his face and teased him, "Little brother, do you want to accompany your sister to Shady City? It's much better there than here."
"With me here, you can get an education. You don't have to study on your own like you do now, and you have to work hard every day to make a living. With your eloquence, you will definitely be able to achieve great things in Shayin City."
I thought Chris would agree readily, but he just swallowed the potato in his mouth and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
