Chapter 40: On The Road Again

  Date Wednesday, August 25th, 2275

  The m, right as I woke up, I asked Hauler for the time as usual, to which he told me it was 5:45 AM.

  Looks like I've woken up a bit earlier than normal.

  Ready to get a head start on my day, I immediately rose from my simple sleeping arras ahrough my m routine of taking care of my hygiene and making a bit of something to eat for breakfast.

  Once I had that all out of the way, I sed my focus to Mechu-deru to chey robots. With my focus sed over, I saw that I was now up to a total of 200 worker bots.

  Good, my workforce is growing rger day by day. It won't be long before I'm one of the big guys here in the capital wastend.

  Having done my checkup there, I sent a signal with Mechu-deru to have any newly produced worker bots to be assigo the manufacturing area to assist iing a number of my other projects up and running. After issuing that order, I sent over aask for my worker bots assigo the manufacturing area to aplish. Which was to start getting on produ up and running using the rge number of fabricated parts that were sitting in the warehouse area.

  I was going to need a ton of ons to arm my robots with, therefore it would be wise of me to get a jump on the issue before I end up in a situation where my robots are running around without proper onry or all besides what they have built in. So as they began the process of making a stockpile of ons that they'll be able to use in any given situation they might enter iure, I turned my attention elsewhere.

  ...

  Wheually finished cheg over my robots and assigning them asks, I had the robots that I was going to take with me to Vault 101 start moving to the loading area in preparation to leave. With all of that taken care of, I headed to the warehouse area and began stog up on gear. Once I was fully stocked on gear and equipment I thought I was going to need including Amata's power armor, I climbed into my Annihitor Power Armor and walked over to the loading area where I had my voy ready to set out at a moment's notice.

  As soon as I reached the pce, I pulled out my gatling ser Purge from my iory and slung the heavy on sling attached to it over my shoulder. I then followed that up by equipping the backpack power unit and taking a firm hold of the on. My on now equipped and firmly within my grasp, I had one of the worker bots start the procedures for opening the massive bst door in the loading area. The instant it pressed the button on the door's trol panel, a loud siren began going off, alerting everyone nearby that the door ening.

  *Grrrnd...*

  Moments ter, the massive bst door slid open aled into pce. So I stepped forward aed my home through the huge opening with 5 power armor patible assaultrons equipped in 5 suits of T-51 Power Armor along with a whole assortment of heavy ons, 5 hauling bots, 2 sentry bot Mk IIs, 30 worker bots, and Hauler trailing behind me.

  Not more than a few seds after the st of my robots passed through the doorway, the bst door started to slowly close behind us as we circled around the building to get to the front of it. Whilst we headed to the front of the former RobCo facility, I kept my eyes peeled, sing the surroundings for any potential danger.

  And after walking for a short time, we found ourselves at the parking lot out in front of my base of operation that had a signifit amount of junked cars missing due to my worker bots scrapping a ton of them. Upon making it to the parking lot, we tinued on our way, journeying north toward the interse up ahead. From there, we kept going north along the road while tinuously sing the surroundings for hostiles.

  ...

  Sometime ter, as we were traveling north, I spotted a pretty rge group of super mutants far out in the distahanks to my enhanced eyesight, I could see that this super mutant unit sisted of 10 normal super mutants, 6 super mutant brutes, 3 super mutant masters, and even 1 super mutant overlord.

  "Guys, hold up for a sed. We have enemies ahead." I told my robot panions while I started examining what sort of equipment they were using.

  the group of super mutants closely for a few seds, I saw they had better makeshift armor than the first group I entered. The big sickly yellow green mutants were armed with 5 R91 Assault Rifles, 5 Type 93 ese Assault Rifles, 4 5mm Miniguns, 2 Light Mae Guns, 1 Missile Launcher, 1 M2 Browning Mae Gun, 1 Fat Man Mini Nuke Launcher and 1 Gatling Laser.

  Holy hell, this group is so much better equipped pared to the st one I dispatched, that's for damn sure. And from what I tell, all of their equipment appears to be in much better shape, too. On top of that, all the assault rifles the normal super mutants are carrying all have drum magazines loaded instead of the standard 30-round magazihat are usually seen with those two types of assault rifles.

  Finished gathering intel on their bat capabilities, I started thinking about how I wao hahem. After a bit of thought, I decided to py it safe and take out the main threats first with my A-21 Anti-Material Rifle from afar. When the main threats have bee with, I'll close in and annihite the rest of the super mutants with my gatling ser Purge that has yet to see any actual bat.

  Deade, I retrieved my heavy rifle from my item box and loaded it up with a 10-round magazine filled with armor-pierg rounds. Chambering a round into the gun from the newly ied magazine, I looked down the variable zoom scope while thinking about which of the higher-tier super mutants I wao deal with initially.

  About a sed in, I decided to start off the super mutant massacre by ending the life of the super mutant overlord first. Sihat was the only super mutant that could pose any real danger if he were to get close, given that he stood at a height of about 10 feet and probably weighed over 1,000 pounds.

  And If I had to take a guess, the big guy probably possess a strength rating around the 25+ area if I was paring it to my S.P.E.C.I.A.L.s and if I was paring it against normal human values, I would put it around the 5e for strength. That's the sort of strength that could smash a human head as if it was ent. My decision was also made easier by the fact that I could see the super mutant overlord had a ton more DT ah via my living anatomy perk. So with that information avaible, it only reinforced my decision to deal with it first and foremost.

  Now that I had my target picked out, I moved closer to the super mutants with my robots. My reasoning for doing so was because one, I was a long way out and two; I didn't feel sniping from over 3,000 meters. That st one had a number of ives I didn't want to at for, like wind and various other elements that could affect my bullet's accuraot to mention the lost velocity from shooting from such a distahat would no doubt lessen my on's damage.

  Shortly thereafter, we made it to the 1,100-meter mark. So I took aim with my on's variable zoom scope and moved the scope's crosshair to where I predicted the super mutant overlord's head would be a moment ter. Holding the crosshair steady, I pulled my A-21 Anti-Material Rifle's trigger, letting loose a deafening gunshot and sending a sizable fireball out the end of the muzzle brake.

  A split sed ter I saw the armor-pierg 50 caliber rouer the super mutant overlord's head, killing it instantly and right as its body started to fall, I had my round chambered. Ready to go, I sed over to the super mutant master that was wielding the missile uncher aed the exact same set of as I took with my execution of the super mutant overlord. The instant a sed had passed, the super mutant master I was targeting had its head taken off almost entirely.

  Dealing a killing blow to that super mutant master, I racked the bolt on my gun and chambered a new round. As I was lining up the shot on the super mutant master wielding the Browning M2 Mae Gun, the surrounding super mutants caught on to what was happening and begaing to the dangerous situation I had them in.

  The instant I lined my scope on my arget and was about to pull the trigger, the group of super mutants began sing the surrounding area, looking for what was taking them out one by one. So while they were beginning their search, I finally applied enough pressure to the trigger on my A-21 Anti-Material Rifle, releasing another deafening gunshot.

  That eg gunshot of mine gave away my position, although not till after the round I just fired arrived at its intearget, eliminating another super mutant master. This left the group with only one super mutant master remaining among their increasingly smaller squad.

  As soon as the party of super mutants registered the sound of my 50 caliber rifle going off, they all collectively turowards my dire, the pce where the loud gunshinated from. Within moments of finding where the gunshot came from, they collectively let out a war cry and started charging towards our position.

  Unwilling to let them get too close with their absurd strength, I lined up another shot o remaining super mutant master, the ohat was carrying a fat man mini-nuke uncher, and pulled the trigger. Once a bit less than a sed had passed the armor-pierg round I had just fired arrived at its intended destination, taking out the st remaining super mutant master from the fight by turning its head into a literal bloody mess and scattering the remains of it across the capital wastend's retively barren soil.

  Whe remaining super mutant master was killed off, I loaded a fresh 10-round magazio my A-21 Anti-Material Rifle and pced it ba my iory. The sed I had it put away, I grabbed hold of my gatling ser Purge that had been slung aing against me this eime. Grasping my uling ser firmly, I poi towards the charging group of super mutants with my ser sight accurately lined up on the front-most super mutant a loose a stream of ser fire milliseds ter.

  *Bzzzz…*

  As I tio hold dowrigger, I watched as the ridiculous amount of ser beams I was sending de melted, burned, and turned parts of the super mutants' bodies to ash piece by pied bit by bit. Around the 10-seark, I let go of the trigger since I had just finished killing off the st remaining super mutant of the group.

  "Alright, guys, let's head on over and collect the loot." I told my robots before I started walking towards the super mutant corpses to collect the gear they were carrying.

  Arriving in front of the bodies, rather quickly, I had my robots start removing and loading up all the gear and loot they were carrying.
