"[Sir, Miss Scarlett conditions is current condition is stable… Madam Natasha and Selene had completed their first aid treatment on her…but, I believed that it is better for us to do more thorough medical assessment and treatment on her later on…]". (Alfred)
"Alright, it was nice hearing that….".
Natasha and Selene were worried sick about Scarlett this whole time, now that she was saved, I can see the 3 of them started to loosen up a little bit. No longer frowning or tensions, which is good for everyone, if Alfred said that she was in a good condition after the first aid treatment, that's means that I can afford to spend a few more minutes, here.
"Anyway, Alfred…let's loot these folks as quickly as we can…we need to head back home as soon as we can…".
"[Understood, Sir…]". (Alfred)
I am letting the women to relaxed a little bit, let them have a little talk with each other uninterrupted for now. Meanwhile, Alfred and me, are looting all the Herman Group belongings, I thought, since I have already defeated them all, the spoils now belonged to me, why waste anything when you can have everything. There are not many valuable stuffs that we were able to get from Herman Group remains, I decided to take all the coins and all the weapons, all the crates that belonged to the group that were in their belongings, some of the crates got some foods in it, some got trinkets and odds in them. So, instead of choosing and picking anything, I just chucked it all in, inside my Inventory for now.
"[Sir, this person here…is Herman and this one is Remmi, his caravan guard leader…]". (Alfred)
"Oh…no wonder the whole caravan was running around like headless chicken after getting shot by us…turns out, I shot down their guard leader first…"
Alfred was kindly introducing me the 2 corpses on the ground, both of them were the one that got sniped by me at the start. On the first attack I killed both of the caravan leader, no wonder it was so easy to deal with all of them, with no one to give command to the other guards, morale and their fighting chance just goes out of the window, and then it was simply become the matter of self-survival. Unintentionally, I just in an instant won the battle with 2 shots from my sniper rifle.
"Woah…this Herman guy, sure is loaded…".
"[Unsavory and unsightly that the reality is… Slavery in this world is a common thing, and it is a ludicrous business… Herman Group having that amount of Coins on him, is rather normal…]". (Alfred)
Unlike the many Herman Group members, Herman himself is a very rich man, on his person, he got 5000 coins in his purse, he wears a purple suit, leather boots, and the even got Procom on his arm, which as always, I strip all of them out of him. The Remmi guy have a Tommy gun as his weapon, naturally since wasn't able to fire a single shot, we got a full mag of ammo. At this point, I cannot just be ignorant about this matter, slavery is a legal business in this world, and that should be another concerned for me to make sure that I would look out for.
Naturally after looting all the corpses, we do not just leave them laying around, we need to clean the battlefield up, in this wasteland, these corpses can attract a lot of attentions, be it from the monsters, or even a small possibility of these Herman group got ally that would look after their disappearance, so, we need to thoroughly erase their existence right here. Hence, Alfred was piling all the corpses in on pile and set fire to everything all at once, the accelerant from the fire is the Cage carriage.
"Aw…this guy is dead…damn…I am hoping that I can at least, have it for myself…".
I was a bit disappointed to not be able to get myself a Mutant Cow, as when I finally able to take a closer look at the cage carriage and the mutated cow, all that I was the cow, were already died, a single 1-inch holes were on its forehead, well one of its foreheads, the Mutated cow has 2 heads.
"[Single shot in the head… instantaneous death, the mutant cow did not suffer at all, Sir…. Although, compared to the cows back on earth… this Mutant Cow appearance and compositions is quite unique…]". (Alfred)
"It is very unique… it was docile enough not to run away when the chaos ensues… look at its appearance, it's doesn't have any hide at all…just hard leathery skins, it also got 2 heads… I wonder if it's edible…".
"[Apparently it is, Madam Natasha had mentioned to me once that Mutated Cow meat IS edible and safe to be consumed… but the people of the wasteland preferred to keep the mutated cow alive…. Despite their rather graphic and gore appearance, it still can produce dairy… and what is more appealing to the wasteland is that the milk produced by the mutated cow…provides a 100% radiation free milk, thus shown just how valuable the cow was to the wasteland…]". (Alfred)
"Like I said…it was a pity that the cow died…I guess, at the very least we can still butcher this cow and benefits from it…".
I stored the dead Mutant Cow inside my inventory, when we got home, I can just butcher it myself. I wonder if it would still taste like a beef, surely there would something different about it, after all it got 2 heads and it was mutated.
"Hmm?... what is that?".
After I stored the mutated cow inside my inventory, I saw a large tied up rucksack just under where the cow dead body previously was. Curiously I untied the string and opened the rucksack to see what is inside it.
"Ouff!! …. what a smell…. Wait…limbs?".
As soon as I opened the rucksack the odor coming from the inside of the rucksack, just punches straight at my nose, I smells so awfully bad, like a rotten cheese mixed with foot athlete odor that were seemingly being fermented for years.
"[What is it, Sir?]". (Alfred)
"Look…it's a… detached... limbs?".
I know what a decayed flesh smells like, and the smells that punches me just now, were not it, at all. As for the limbs in the sack, all of them looked rather unrotten, so I decided to took an arm out, to look at it properly, right now I am holding an entire left arm and I am quite amazed by it, the arm itself felt very real, like a human skins, but it looked rather seasoned and old, heck its skins looked saggy and also cracking all over the place.
"[I believed, that belongs to the Pleasure Android Layla… I supposed the Herman Group guards decided to made her limbless to prevent her escape or retaliations…]". (Alfred)
"Then, we need to bring this with us… and attached it back to her, then…".
The feeling that I felt touching that Android limbs, were unreal, its skins felt very humanlike, it felt like I am holding and touching a real human limb, although right now, it looked rather old and dry. I've known about android, they are not your normal Automaton or robots, they were an entirely different being, with an intelligent and personalized A.I capable of self-learning and forming its own identity, Android of all kind are indeed made to be humans' loyal companions.
"Honey… need help with anything?". (Natasha)
"Hmm?... No, not really…we are almost done here… let's set this pile on fire… and then we leave…... how's Scarlett?".
