Chapter 40 - Overview of changes

After an hour of searching for enemies in the library, Brandon's squad did not find anyone except robots, turrets, several corpses of mutants and people. While there was a thorough reconnaissance of this building, Brandon determined that in addition to the entrance through which they entered, there was another entrance through the metro station, so after assigning two people to guard these entrances, Brandon, Victoria and another person armed with recording devices, and began to check everything. books looking for any readable information, then they used these devices in order to photograph the pages of the book, thereby creating electronic versions of books.

Later in Whitestone City, Brandon assigns several people to view these photographs and turn the records into text data. This is not a quick thing, so it took three people about 6 hours to complete all the work, besides that, Brandon finally found the bobblehead, but he did not take it with his bare hands and put it in his inventory, fearing that it might cause some kind of reaction. ... So he just put it in his backpack and continued to do his thing.

When the squad finished collecting all possible information, night fell. At such a time, it is dangerous to travel through the wasteland, so the party decided to stay overnight in Diamond City, several rooms for spending the night.

Living conditions were so-so. Old creaky bed, poor soundproofing, etc.

It's good that there is at least a sewage system. During sleep, Brandon did not dare to take off his clothes, thinking in his head.

It would be nice if he had the ability to clean this yellow mattress just by being next to him.

The next day, having rested, the squad went back to the White Stone City.

When Brandon and company were leaving the city, at the entrance they met Nate who was walking into the city with some kind of synth in a gray cloak and hat. After greeting Nate and his new partner, Brandon again reminded him of the existence of Whitestone City and invited him to visit their settlement.

After that, saying goodbye to them, the squad finally headed back home.

On the way back, they did not encounter serious obstacles, only a handful of raiders and a few mutated animals.

Arriving in the White Stone City, Brandon first of all saw that in addition to the caravaneers who were in line waiting for permission to enter, various poor people who did not want to become citizens of the city and be obliged to someone began to build all kinds of shacks from garbage near the city, but they all they still want to be safe, so they hope that the guards on the walls will protect them, naive.

Passing the guard post, Brandon met his brother.

Noticing Brandon, Marcus walked over to him and shook his hand and said, "Nice to see you, brother. How is our childhood dream? "

At this point, Victoria intervened in the conversation, "This is just a terrible place compared to the White Stone City, but perhaps for ordinary inhabitants of the wasteland, this is a really safe place."

Nodding in agreement with Victoria, Brandon said, "Yes it is, we also agreed with the mayor on the establishment of official trade relations with all the ensuing consequences, we also solved the problem of lack of people, I think next week new people will come to us from Diamond City, so we need quickly arrange a place for them "

After listening to his brother, Marcus replied, "New people are good, considering your other big project, we really don't have enough hands and the guards have to work seven days a week. But I think everything is ok and guards will be able to tolerate a little, with new people such a problem should not be. As for the location, there shouldn't be any problems with that. The engineers are completely immersed in the expansion of the city on the western side and it will not be a problem to build temporary camps. "

Pointing to a few shacks behind him, Brandon said, "Okay, I'll assign someone to work on temporary camps, but this is a problem that needs to be dealt with first. "

Marcus frowned a little and protested, "But brother, remember us, if not for your ideas, we could be in their place. They are just poor people trying to hide from the dangers. "

Shaking his head Brandon replied, "They want to eat the fish without getting wet in the water, they had the opportunity to join the city, but they refused, now it's their problem. But I will still give them a chance, if they want to live in their shacks under the walls of the city, let them pay a tax of 30 caps a month, or let them go away. "

With a sigh, Marcus could only agree with his younger brother, because although he did not want to drive them away, they still brought problems to the guards. Robbing caravans, arranging conflicts with them, begging is only a small part of the problems that these people make.

Entering the city, Brandon took a deep breath, enjoying the cleanliness of his own city compared to diamond city.

Over the past year, many changes have occurred in the settlement, for example, the expansion of the western part of the city has already been done, opening up a lot of new free space for people. Also, four residential three-storey buildings were built, with 8 apartments on each floor thanks to this there are still many empty rooms.

A small hotel was built for the caravaneers, where, for 10 roofs, they rent a room for the night and feel all the comfort of this city.

In the main building, several rooms for classes with children were opened, where educated people passed on the lost knowledge to future generations.

In addition, a medical room was equipped in the main building, where residents of the city underwent compulsory medical examinations and could receive assistance in case of injuries.

Brandon recruited doctors from volunteers in the city. Of course, their knowledge was mediocre, but they had the basics and they wanted to learn, so thanks to Brandon's knowledge they are gradually improving. Most likely, after processing information from the library, their progress will improve even more.
