《Old Cultivation Record》Chapter 6 - Watch the Show
Advertisement
Taylor starts the car as Jesse opens the passenger door and climbs into the car.
Taylor took out his pack and pulled out a cigarette before looking up at Jesse. He holds out the pack. “Want one?” He asks casually.
Jesse looks down at the pack and frowns. “No one wants your fucking cigarettes, Taylor.” Jesse says then turns her head to the passenger window. “Let's go. The sooner we're done the better.” She says with a sigh.
Taylor smiles and lights his smoke. “You don't mean that. Let's enjoy ourselves.” He says as he presses onto the gas and moves onto the road.
Jesse coughs a few times before rolling the window down. “Damn it, Taylor. I swear to god, if you weren't you…” Jesse begins to say before deciding it wasn’t worth the energy.
Taylor chuckles. He takes a deep inhale and lets the smoke out as he speeds up, ignoring his clouded vision.
Jesse looks at Taylor's carelessness and sighs. I don't think he knows… She thinks with some bitterness. He could be blind and we'd still make it to our destination… She thinks with a shake of her head.
…
…
The drive was quiet, but the time passed naturally, and by the time they made it to Karoleck, it felt like a moment had passed.
“Your destination is on your right." The GPS announces.
Taylor pulls into the parking lot and parks the car. “Right, let's get this over with.” He says as he pulls out his phone.
“Hello?” A voice answers.
“Daryl, we just arrived. Are you inside?” Taylor asks, hoping this would be an easy job.
“Yeah we're here, but…” Daryl says before hesitating at what Taylor assumed was bad news.
Suddenly Taylor senses someone's gaze. Taylor raises an eyebrow and spreads out his spiritual sense.

“God dammit, Daryl. This place is surrounded by werewolves.” Taylor exclaims with some disappointment. Things can never be easy, can they? Taylor thinks with a sigh.
“Yeah, I don't think we're making it out of this one without a parley of some sort.” Daryl says, hoping Taylor could do something about it.
“Well, I think we lost this game, Daryl. You'll probably have to give up the girl.” Taylor says, not knowing how else they were going to get out of here.
“No, Taylor. I can't. You have to say something. The werewolves aren't keeping away just because of the barrier. Whatever this place is, they don't want to touch it. Apparently your family is like royalty or something; just say a few words to them and I'm sure we can drop this whole thing.” Daryl suggests.
“Fuck. Alright.” Taylor says, ending the call. Taylor puts the phone away and looks to Jesse. “You want to come, or do you want to stay in the car?” He asks, not sure how long this was going to take. Taylor was willing to just drop the matter if the conversation reached an impasse; all this situation really needed was for Daryl to give up the girl, so Taylor was willing to just leave. As for whether he gives up the girl, that's up to him. Taylor thinks without a care.
“What? Am I your kid? No, I want to watch the show.” Jesse says with a smile as she opens the car door.
Taylor sighs. Hopefully the show doesn’t get violent. He thinks as he opens the car door.

Fallout: Vault X
An original novel set in the Fallout universe, written to be accessible to all, featuring unique people and places. Vol.II. out now Fallout: Vault X tells the story of John. A vault dweller, who spent every day of his twenty five years underground. Like his father, and his father before him. Proud to live in the last remaining bastion of humanity, all that survived The Great War of the atomic age. Hidden deep below the surface of the earth, toiling under brutal conditions. Year after year, decade upon decade. All to expand into the natural cave system the Vault occupied, building for the future. However, John knew what his forefathers did not, that everything he’d been taught was a lie. After finishing school at the age of ten, John received his standard issue pipboy. An arm mounted personal computer, worn by everyone in the Vault. Used to coordinate the relentless pace of expansion, needed to work as an apprentice. To learn the craft that would be his life’s work. A noble calling to ensure a future for all that remained of the human race. A quirk of fate saw John equipped not with the crude, clunky, pipboy model his father wore. That almost everyone around him wore. His looked smaller, sleeker, finished in a jet black sheen. And capable of doing far more than its drab counterparts. The world above had been ravaged by atomic flames, yet life clung to its bones. The Red Valley fared better than most in the century since the bombs fell. The clean water and rich soil protected by rolling hills. All spared from direct strikes, for the most part. Life survived here. Trees spawned from charred ground, misshapen, green leaves turned red. Along with simple crops, grown wild at first, then cultivated by the survivors. The scavengers of the old world were inventive, hardy people. All determined to rebuild in the ruins of a world they never knew. In the decades that passed settlements emerged. They grew, spreading along the valley floor. Reclaiming the pre-war remnants of the once industrialised heartland. Salvaging the robotic wonders of a bygone age to build their walls and work their fields. To protect them in the dark of the wasteland. But such things are uncommon in this world, and the rarer something is, the greater its value. And the worth of pre-war technology had not gone unnoticed. The last, real, power in this world rested in the mechanised hands of The Brotherhood of Steel. Forged from the mortally wounded old world military. The Brotherhood used its access to the weapons made for a conflict no one won to strike out into the wastes. Men and women were equipped with advanced armour, aerial transportation, high grade weaponry. Accompanied by the training, strength, and will, to put them to use. They established chapters and set up outputs far and wide. All dedicated to a single purpose. To ensure the technology left abandoned by its long dead creators didn’t fall into the wrong hands. Namely, any hands that were not their own. This is the world John escaped into. A place of horrors brought forth from atomic fire. A place where survival meant battling against the darkness. Fighting a war each day to get to the next. And war...war never changes
