The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World

Roko Research Center, the Brotherhood of Steel’s target is not the robot technology here.

It may also be that they have taken away a lot of technical information, but Marvin doesn’t know it yet.

It was almost noon when Marvin arrived at the research center. It was not until 3 hours later that Marvin saw the results from the window on the 3rd floor of the scientific research building.

More than 20 Brotherhood of Steel soldiers and knights, escorting a large flatbed truck, knocked away the abandoned car blocking the road, and slowly left the Roko Research Center.

It seems that this is the transportation tool for transporting the corpse of the scorched beast to the exhibition.

How did they know there was such a car here?

After the Brotherhood left, Marvin explored another building and the underground garage and had a guess.

In addition to being the main research base for "brain-controlled robots", this research center also cooperates with the military to maintain and maintain high-end weapons in the Appalachian region.

The terminal records show that the flatbed truck was originally a multiple rocket launcher, which happened to be repaired and maintained here.

The Brotherhood of Steel should have explored this place a long time ago and knew the existence of this car. It’s just that it was not needed before, so it was not until now that people were sent to repair and activate it.

This missile vehicle is well preserved because it is in a relatively closed underground with a high security level.

The Brotherhood pilots dismantled the missile launcher and the redundant machinery and drove it away.

This is good, at least the next plan can be carried out soon.

The body of the scorched beast is very large, with a body length of 3 to 5 meters. The wings must be tied up, regardless of the wingspan.

Its weight is generally 2 to 4 tons, which is a weight that even ordinary freight trucks can carry, not to mention military rocket vehicles.

Looking at the huge tires of the flatbed truck that are as high as a person, there is no problem running on the wasteland.

In addition, Marvin found the server unit, but the learning machine did not agree, and a large number of hard drives and other components had been dismantled long ago.

One day's time cannot be said to be completely wasted, but it is true that not much was gained.

There was still no sign of the scorched beast on this day...

...

The next day, Marvin teleported to Watauga and went east to a flooded freight station.

Here he encountered a new monster, the bird-shaped dragon.

This monster with a grayish white or pink appearance is not a natural product at first glance.

The wrinkled thick skin is covered with thorns and cysts, the mouth full of sharp teeth occupies half of the head, the number of eyes grows on the back and neck, and three, four, or five deformed legs support the two or three meters long body to crawl.

The thick skin of the bird dragon has good energy resistance and is not afraid of radiation, but its resistance to live ammunition is average.

To be honest, this thing only looks scary, and its actual combat power is not as good as that of super mutants. It can only pounce and bite.

As long as you are careful not to let their disgusting and toxic body fluids splash on your skin, there will be no threat.

Marvin did not stay in the flooded station for long, and continued to explore southeast.

The more you go, the more monsters there are.

Violent moles with red eyes, gray-white death claws, mud crab hunters, newts, crazy ghouls covered in black mud shells, and countless radiated corpses...

The mud crab hunter is a "crayfish" with a body length of more than 2 meters, but it doesn't look suitable for spicy food, pepper and salt, or cumin. Who knows what this thing has to do with "crabs"? Oh, by the way, they like to spit.

The newt looks like a mutated salamander. Except for its huge body of more than three meters long and its terrifying giant mouth that can swallow an adult alive, there is nothing to be afraid of. It is fat and cute.

The gray-white death claw has a formal name that is different from its brother, the albino death claw.

Due to the large number of monsters encountered, even if Marvin is fast, he can't completely avoid the fight, and the speed of exploration has dropped by half.

It was not until the afternoon that he hid in a military bunker and was able to rest.

Half of the bunker was buried by a mound, and the other half with a door faced southeast.

A half-powered armor was leaning against the concrete wall next to the door, and the remains of the ghouls and messy bones were scattered inside the bunker.

A rusty black metal nameplate was nailed to the wall behind the metal table.

A circular logo was engraved on the nameplate, with 12 five-pointed stars surrounding a large "E" inside.

Under the circular logo was a line of words "Experimental Observation Station V9".

This was just a small ordinary bunker, with no secret room or underground shelter.

After a short rest, Marvin continued to explore southeast.

No buildings could be seen on the endless purple-red wasteland. After the sky darkened, yellow-green fog rose and visibility dropped sharply.

Coupled with the harassment of various monsters, he found nothing.

…

On the afternoon of the fourth day, Marvin stood next to a huge earth pit.

Under the nearly 300-meter-wide earth pit, on one side are single-story blue-painted metal houses connected in a winding way, which should be the office space of the mine; on the other side are rusted machines of unknown purpose.

On the six- to seven-meter-high pit wall in the earth pit, there are three deep mine caves in the east, northeast, and southeast directions.

Seven or eight scorched corpses are climbing up the earth slope with their fangs and claws bared.

After killing the scorched corpses that were making trouble, Marvin jumped down the earth pit and found the bones of the Brotherhood Knights scattered in the corners.

The power armor was torn to pieces, and even the entire breastplate of a T60 was flattened by the huge claws.

Judging from the size of the claw marks, it was much larger than the largest scorched beast he had ever seen.

He counted the number of corpses, a total of 11.

This should be the team that the Brotherhood of Steel explored for the first time, and there are still 7 people missing.

Marvin looked around and looked at the three deep mines on the wall of the pit.

The three mines in the northeast, east and southeast are temporarily designated as mines A, B and C.

Marvin walked into the A cave along the mine car track.

The mine was only 3 meters high and 4 meters wide at the beginning of the cave, and it was not winding. The monsters were only some scorched corpses holding pickaxes and shovels.

After passing a large mining area and a small fork, the cave began to twist.

In these mining areas, you can see yellow-green crystal clusters of various sizes embedded in the cracks of the rocks.

These places are not like places that can accommodate huge monsters like scorched beasts.

When checking the body of a Brotherhood Knight, two death claws drilled out of the tunnel next to him.

This biochemically modified monster designed for slaughtering humans is no longer a threat to him.

After killing two death claws and destroying the death claw eggs at the end of the tunnel, Marvin added a low-light vision and Quen seal, and entered the last slightly narrow cave.

"Ga..."

A monster roared in front of him, which was the cry of the scorchbeast.

Marvin canceled the low-light vision, swallowed a few anti-radiation tablets, put on the ranger helmet, and changed gloves.

Relying only on the built-in visual enhancement function of the helmet, he barely moved forward in the dark.

I thought the cave would get darker and darker, but it didn't, instead it got brighter and brighter.

When he was about to walk out of the narrow cave, he could already see the surrounding situation clearly.

The scorchbeast is a bat-like creature with poor eyesight and relies on sound wave positioning to "see" things.

He pressed against the wall of the cave and looked out.

Outside was a large cave with an opening of five or six meters in diameter dug on the top, and the natural light from the outside world came in from here.

A scorchbeast about 3 meters long was facing him sideways with its wings folded, leaning over and quacking at another large cave entrance.

He couldn't see what was inside, but he could hear other creatures there.

The sound of claws rubbing against gravel, and the crisp, childish quacking sounds.

There was another scorchbeast curled up in a dark corner of the cave, seemingly sleeping.

If it weren't for the flickering green stripes on its body, Marvin wouldn't even have noticed it.

[Hint: Discover the mission location "Scorchbeast Nest", 1/3. You need to find all the scorchbeast nests to complete the mission "Clothing Virus (Second Ring)". ]

It seems that there is a nest in each of the three mines.

[Hint: Kill all the scorchbeasts and their cubs. ]

This is a headache.

If it was 1V1, Marvin wouldn't be worried at all, but there were two scorchbeasts in front of him, and he didn't know how many more were in the cave opposite. Even if it was a cub, it should have some fighting power, right?

And in the cave, it was difficult to dodge the bites and impacts of the scorchbeasts, and the power of the sonic attack would be amplified several times.

But, you have to give it a try.

If you hide when you encounter difficulties, even if your body is strong, your soul is still weak. How can you see the scenery at a higher place?

Marvin pressed his whole body tightly against the wall of the cave, looking at the huge cave outside that was seven or eight meters high and twenty or thirty meters in radius, and silently deduced the battle process in his mind.

Then, he retreated to a distance and bought a lot of fragmentation grenades, stringing 10 grenades into a string, a total of 4 strings.

This is a skill learned from John McCullen, the one-eyed dragon in the crater. He has basically learned the skills of booby traps, and now only lacks actual combat tests.

Unfortunately, the learning machine did not recognize it as an ability, and I don’t know why.

Swallowing a few more anti-radiation pills, making the final preparations before the war, Marvin drilled into the narrow cave again...

The two radiated corpse beasts had already curled up and lay down quietly, and the opposite cave entrance also became quiet.

Marvin looked up at the hole in the top of the cave where light was leaking, and took a deep breath.

Smelling the activated carbon in the helmet filter and the sour smell in the cave, he rushed forward without hesitation.

The smaller scorched beast that was closer to him immediately opened its cloudy eyes and looked up.

Spotting the enemy, it immediately propped itself up with its front paws to stand up.

Teleporting, Marvin appeared under its neck, with a long knife in hand, stabbing it into its throat, dragging the knife forward, spilling black blood.

Thanks to having dealt with scorched beasts twice alone, and having killed and dissected one, he knew where the vocal cords of this monster were.

The knife was very accurate, directly destroying the vocal cords and throat.

He ran three steps quickly, rolled forward to avoid the claws, and when he stood up, he looked at the hole above his head that was leaking light.

The soil was too thick, the light was limited, and he couldn't even see the situation outside clearly. He was not sure if he could teleport up. The first plan was invalid.

Second teleport.

Marvin was less than 5 meters away from another scorched beast.

This nearly 4-meter-long big guy was slightly spreading his wings, crouching, and opening his mouth to roar.

A bunch of grenades appeared in Marvin's right hand, and he pulled the rope with his left hand.

Crack, crack, crack...

A series of springs were pulled out, and the right hand suddenly smashed the string of grenades into the throat of the scorched beast.

Gah~

The scorched beast was choked by a pile of iron lumps that suddenly appeared.

The third teleportation.

Marvin appeared above the monster's slightly opened wings, and the Gus pattern drew a blue waterfall of light and slashed straight down.

Crack, the bones supporting the membrane wings were cut off.

Bang, bang, bang, a series of dull explosions sounded.

The scorched beast was blown to the ground and was a little unstable.

Before Marvin landed, he turned his head and saw that another smaller scorched beast had already pounced.

He kicked the monster on the side, and the monster staggered and fell.

Marvin used the force to jump up again...

When he first faced the radiated corpse beast, he didn't stand firmly because the monster had a layer of sticky mucus on its body, and he failed to defeat the enemy with one blow.

Now that his physical attributes have been greatly enhanced, his sword skills have reached the upper limit of mastery, so he can try another way.

The fourth teleportation.

Marvin appeared on the head of the smaller monster, and despite the fatigue caused by insufficient physical strength and radiation damage, he stabbed it head down with a knife.

The runes on Gus pattern shone, and the blue light from the teleportation still remained around him.

The whole person was like a blue sky sword, stabbing into the back of the monster's head.

Crack, puff~

The long knife went straight to the handle, Marvin turned over, and the long knife pried in the monster's brain, completely shredding the nerve center.

He kicked the monster's neck with both feet, flipped back and jumped several meters, turned around and ran after landing.

There was a bang behind him, and mud and dust rushed over his feet.

It was not until he ran into the narrow cave that Marvin supported his knees, panting heavily and looking up to observe the enemy's condition.

The smaller scorched beast had completely stopped, lying on the ground motionless; the big one was flying towards him with one wing drooping.

The cave entrance was too small, and Marvin was not worried at all that the huge scorched beast could hurt him.

Bang, the scorched beast hit the cave entrance head-on, and the strong wind and gravel rushed towards it, crackling on the armor and helmet.

The giant beast took a step back, leaned over and roared, ha~

It really had no power at all. If Marvin had a thick cotton swab, he would have poked it to see if the other party was erect.

The scorched beast stretched out its claws and reached into the cave entrance to grab it. Marvin simply turned around and continued to retreat deeper, letting it toss inside.

Anyway, this monster has lost the ability to fly and can't run away.

But it couldn't be delayed for too long. With the recovery ability of the scorchbeast, the broken wings might not heal, but the injury in the throat was not serious and would be fine soon.

A few minutes later, Marvin's stamina bar was full again, and he came to the cave entrance again.

The scorchbeast was running around frantically, and flipped the body of its fallen companion.

The smaller scorchbeast with its nerves cut was not dead, at least Marvin had not received the killing prompt.

Marvin took advantage of the monster not being able to find it, and quickly flashed to the stone wall outside the cave and stood still, shouting: "Hey! This way."

The scorchbeast suddenly stopped, turned its head and rushed straight at him.

Marvin didn't move at all.

Bang, the giant beast hit its head on the stone wall, and gravel and dirt fell rustling.

Marvin appeared above the monster's head and repeated the same trick.

Find the gap between the skull and the cervical vertebrae, stab it with a knife, and press the handle of the knife down to cut...

Ka~

The scorchbeast fell to the ground with a bang.

Marvin kicked the cave wall and fell to the ground.

Crack, crack... rustle... creak, creak...

A sound came from the opposite cave.

In fact, since the battle began, similar sounds have been heard there, but the battle situation was tense and he didn't care.

After waiting for a while, there was still only a sound from the cave, but nothing came out.

Marvin ignored it for the time being and concentrated on dealing with the two scorched beasts in front of him.

Guswen stabbed into the monster's neck, cutting the tight membrane and muscles bit by bit, until he sawed off the whole beast's head before receiving a prompt.

[The scorched beast has been killed. ]

He turned to look at the other scorched beast and shook his head in annoyance. He forgot that he actually had a simpler way.

He walked to the side of another scorched beast, took off his gloves, and pointed his finger at the tip of the scorched beast's wing.

[Prompt: Found a mutant creature, no longer actively resisting consciousness, do you want to submit? ] [Yes] [No]

Choose Yes.

The huge body of the scorched beast disappeared.

[Hint: Submission successful. ]

Look, how easy it is.

Marvin also submitted the remains of another scorched corpse, and put on his gloves again. He walked to the other side of the cave.

This is an elliptical cave with a diameter of less than four meters. If the two scorched beasts want to enter, they can probably squeeze in.

A barrier composed of yellow-green crystal clusters blocked the entire passage to prevent the young scorched beasts inside from running out.

The crystal barrier is only one meter high, and the young beasts can easily jump over it, but they seem to be very afraid of these crystals and dare not even get close. Note ①

Looking at the radiation value on the panel, Marvin took off his helmet and gave himself "dark vision" to observe the inside of the cave.

Inside is a cave with a height of five or six meters and a radius of more than 20 meters. It seems to have been dug by scorched beasts, and long claw marks can be seen everywhere.

Seven young scorched beasts are running around and neighing anxiously in the cave. The smallest of these eroded beasts is as big as a foal, and the largest is nearly 3 meters long.

Marvin estimated that once they were brave enough or capable enough to fight against the yellow-green crystals, they could go out to hunt and fight.

This was also a screening mechanism.

Marvin climbed over the crystal cluster isolation belt and slashed all the corrosive beast cubs to death with his knife. This nest was considered clean.

He looked at the blood bar, 73%, and the rest was filled with black.

Even though the physical attribute was as high as 52, and he had taken a few more anti-radiation pills in advance, he still couldn't resist the damage of more than 20 radiation values.

After injecting Fordin intravenously, he watched the black in the blood bar fade away little by little, but the empty 27% was still empty.

Marvin took out a treatment needle and stabbed it into the side of his neck. After a slight pain, he felt a sense of comfort in his body.

The blood volume rose to 85% and stopped.

He sighed slightly in his heart.

When I first arrived at the wasteland, my physical fitness was only over 30, and a treatment needle produced in the wasteland could restore more than 25% of my health.

After the physical fitness reached 40, the treatment needle produced by the learning machine could only restore about 20%.

After the physical fitness reached 45, the treatment needle produced by the wasteland could not even penetrate the skin, and the one produced by the learning machine could only restore less than 16%.

Now my physical fitness is 52, and the treatment needle produced by the learning machine can hardly penetrate the skin. I have to use a lot of force like just now to penetrate the relatively tender parts such as the neck, and the amount of blood that can be restored is also very touching.

There is no hope of recovery in battle.

Marvin used three treatment needles to fill the blood bar, ate two tubes of chicken-flavored nutritional paste, drank two bottles of watermelon juice, and rested for more than ten minutes.

When the feeling of weakness completely subsided, he looked at the remains of the two Brotherhood Knights in the cave and walked out of the mine.

…

Note ①: The yellow-green crystal is the "Radiation Extremely Luminite" in the Fallout 76 game. Bullets and melee weapons made of metal doped with this crystal powder will cause additional damage to scorched people and scorched beasts. Part of this setting is borrowed from the book.

In the game, radioactive galaxy is a very high-level material and very expensive. The performance of any equipment added with this crystal will be greatly improved, whether it is weapons or armor, it is simply a panacea. Moreover, there is no process from the discovery of radioactive galaxy to the research of various uses of crystals. I hate this setting. If radioactive galaxy is added, it will cause this volume to be longer, which does not meet the outline and expectations, so it is abandoned.

Compared with Fallout 4 and Fallout New Vegas, which has a better script, Fallout 76 is really a scumbag.

The protagonist's equipment, including weapons, will have other sources, which will not be spoiled here.
