Zane's House (10:52 a.m.)

Once our beloved protagonist reached the fourth house in the settlement, she let out a tired sigh because she wasn't too sure about investigating these houses anymore; that so far, they were only depressing her by seeing certain rooms.

Before entering the house, the woman with spiky black hair in the shape of a palm tree looked with her eyes at the Lone Wanderer; her until she saw him in the ruined three-story building, but seeing that he seemed very busy with what she was doing, she decided not to bother him.

"Let's see what surprise there is in this house..." Goki murmured with his gaze fixed on the wooden door of the fourth house that he would check, while at the same time stretching his right arm to grab the doorknob with his hand; and then I turn it without measuring the force of it... Again.

Once the Saiyan woman took the first step into the house, she saw that the layout was pretty much the same as the other houses.

"Let's see what's in the room under the stairs..." Goki whispered almost unwilling to continue investigating the houses in Minefield.

When the woman with eyes dark as coal arrived at that place, she found the skeleton of one of the ancient inhabitants; in a way she expected to find this.

"Rest in peace…" Goki said quietly, while at the same time bowing his head a little in respect.

Once the Saiyan woman did this, she started to look around the office until suddenly her attention was drawn to a poster that was next to a dresser and behind the latter was a safe; that as always, she would leave it to a certain blond to open it.

"They look very different from the ships Bulma designs," Goki opined in amazement; seeing the strange earthly ship on the poster because it was undoubtedly quite striking, unbeknownst to her the latter advertised the main attractions of the Museum of Technology; the dome demonstration, the Virgo II lunar lander, and the Planetarium.

Seeing that there was nothing of her interest in the office next to the bathroom, the woman with black hair spiky in the shape of a palm tree continued to search for her; this time heading towards the kitchen.

"Too bad…" Goki mumbled in disappointment; the moment she saw that the fridge was broken with food scattered on the floor, with a sad sigh she began looking around the kitchen for food or drinks that were 'good'; but he found nothing.

After this, the Saiyan woman turned around and headed towards the stairs where she began to slowly climb them until she reached the top floor; where she barely saw the first room, she froze in place of her.

"..." Goki was speechless the moment his black eyes saw the little skeleton lying on the bed.

Doing her best not to cry, the woman with coal-dark eyes (which were bright on the verge of tears) took the first step to enter the child's room, beginning to walk slowly towards the latter's bed; until I was less than half a meter from the book (which was in the hands of a dusty teddy bear), whereby, stretching out her right arm, she grabbed the book with her hand; and then she took several steps back with said object between her huge K-cup breasts.

The skill book is titled: Pugilism Illustrated Volume 2, which gives knowledge and secrets about the Unarmed skill to the reader who is interested in it.

"Don't think about it…" Goki said to herself; at the moment when she quickly left the boy's room, standing in the corridor; where she closed her eyes for a moment taking a few seconds to calm her desire to cry to see the skeleton of the child.

After calming down a bit, the Saiyan woman put the book on the floor in the hallway; She then gently tossed the golden capsule that she was holding in her left hand.

{Pop!}

When the golden capsule made contact with the skill book, a cloud of smoke completely enveloped it; and she ended up storing it in a blink in the small object.

"Rest in peace," Goki whispered towards the room where the boy's skeleton was.

Once this was done, the woman with spiky black hair in the shape of a palm tree began to walk slowly towards the next room (which she was on the left hand side), but she found nothing of interest; and she instead went to the main room, where she this time she did find a surprise.

"Rest in peace..." Goki said almost instantly to the male skeleton on top of the double bed.

The Saiyan woman again started to walk around the room, but she didn't see anything that caught her attention; her until she saw the last room (which was on the right hand side) which turned out to be another bathroom... she Although she didn't even take three steps towards this place when she once again saw another skeleton.

"Rest in peace…" Goki murmured this time with a tired sigh at the end of his words with his gaze on the skeleton that was inside a bathtub.

After this, the coal-black-eyed woman turned around seeing that there was nothing of her interest in the third bathroom of the house; and she began to walk back to the entrance of the house with the intention of leaving... No doubt this particular house had changed her in a particular way.

_____________________________________________________________________________

With David (11:07 a.m.)

The Lone Wanderer was prowling near the fourth house that Goki had entered to investigate and from which it would take a while to get out.

"That's the last five Minefield mines..." David muttered in true amazement because he had deactivated a total of 67 land mines; and all of these were now stored in his Pip-Boy 3000.

After this, the blond looked up at the sniper's nest where that old man who had shot them as soon as they entered Minefield was.

"...Let's go see this old man's corpse," David said to himself with a sigh of relief as he began to walk toward the dilapidated three-story building.

Once he reached the third floor of the ruined building, the former inhabitant of Vault 101 saw a couple of objects along with some consumables and a couple of Nuka-Colas on the second floor that could be used for later; so, in a while he would keep said objects in his Pip-Boy because he would now focus on the sniper.

"The people of the Wasteland are really upset…" David whispered; once he saw the corpse of the old man face down, where to his surprise he was never undeterred in releasing his firearm.

When the blue-eyed young man reached the lifeless body of the old man, he saw that he was still holding his Sniper; so, he bent down with the intention of removing said firearm from his cold and dead fingers... Although it cost him a bit because even in death, he had exerted a strong grip, without a doubt something admirable.

"My first real sniper rifle... Incredible," David stated in awe; ignoring the dried blood of a certain old man that stained a part of his Sniper and also the sight shattered by the bullet that went through him a long time ago.

When the Lone Wanderer stopped admiring his new firearm; instead, he started going through Arkansas's corpse looking for ammunition or something else that would work for him.

"Eureka!" David exclaimed with a smile as he found two .308 caliber cartridges next to a pair of keys; which possibly belong to the houses of Minefield.

The blond-haired young man stared at the keys because he didn't know what to do with them anymore.

"...At this point it seems to me that the keys will not do any good", David said with a somewhat nervous laugh because he had seen from up close and from afar the superhuman strength that Goki has at the moment he opened the doors of the houses like if they were mere twigs of a tree.

When the blue-eyed young man finished checking the old man's corpse; and putting away what he found on said body in his Pip-Boy 3000 (Sniper Rifle, ammo and keys), he headed straight for the ammo crates that were only a few steps away from his position.

"Hmmm…I think I'll go through these ammo boxes at home," David muttered with a thoughtful look; while he at the same time began to stack the four metal boxes two by two.

Once the former Vault 101 inhabitant did this, he again used his Pip-Boy 3000 to store the ammo boxes; and in a green glow said objects disappeared as if by Magic.

"David?"

The blond-haired young man almost fell from the third floor upon hearing the voice of a certain woman with black hair spiky in the shape of a palm tree.

"D-Don't do that, Goki!" David yelled with an obvious frightened stutter; while he at the same time clutched his chest in a clear sign of surprise and pain because his heart almost 'got out' of his rib cage.

The Saiyan woman (who was standing on the main column of the building) looked confused at the blue-eyed young man's reaction; since she did not understand why people get scared that way when they are suddenly called.

"What thing?" Goki said with a tone somewhere between curious and a certain degree of innocence; while he in turn sat on the column of the ruined building where he rested both hands on his shapely legs.

The Lone Wanderer stared at her open-mouthed for a few seconds, thinking what to say in response, until, after a few seconds; He closed her mouth letting out a defeated sigh as he realized there was no point in explaining himself.

"Nothing... Anyway, did you check the houses?" David asked with a touch of interest; so that he in turn leaned against a nearby wall with his sniper in hand waiting patiently for a response from his partner in adventures.

The woman with eyes dark as coal was discouraged, listening to the question of the former inhabitant of Vault 101; because she encountered things that she would have preferred to avoid at all costs.

"Yes, but…" Goki suddenly fell silent; and instead of her, I turn her head a little, looking out of the corner of her eye in the direction of the last house.

The blue-eyed young man noticed this and wondered that he may have scared the young woman of superhuman powers into leaving her that way.

"But?" David encouraged her to continue, while at the same time preparing her sniper just in case because it is possible that her traveling companion saw some wild animal or in the worst case another crazy person with firearms hidden; somewhere in Minefield.

The Saiyan woman averted her eyes from the fourth house; and she in her place began to move her feet in small circles with the intention of not seeing the impatient look of the blond-haired young man.

"But... I left the safes to you," Goki answered with a forced smile; although this was actually a half-truth the moment, she stopped moving her feet, while at the same time focusing her gaze on her adventure partner again.

The former inhabitant of Vault 101 raised an eyebrow at the response of the woman in the exotic orange and blue dress, because I caught something strange in the latter's words; but he mentally shrugged, deciding not to press too hard on the subject.

"Okay, Goki. Well done," David congratulated with a small smile; seeing how the sad expression of his traveling companion changed to a quite positive one.

The coal-black-eyed woman blushed slightly at the Lone Wanderer's words, while she at the same time scratched the back of her neck with her right hand in her typical nervous tic.

"Well...While I finish going through the remaining houses for the safes. You should eat or drink something; I think there are a couple of things on the second floor," David offered as he pointed his hand. right hand to a point on the second floor of the ruined building.

The Saiyan woman's gaze lit up at the words of the former inhabitant of Vault 101, so she immediately dropped from the edge of the column (where she was sitting) to the third floor floor falling gently on her feet; at the surprised look of her traveling companion.

"Thanks, David!" Goki thanked out loud with a big smile on his lips; so that he would then start running in the direction where this food and drink was located.

The Lone Wanderer shook his head at the attitude of the woman in the striking orange and blue dress; Without a doubt, having her as an adventure partner would never be boring due to the comments and questions that the latter made... Without mentioning the superhuman abilities such as her incredible strength (he did not think much about the ability to levitate-fly because the experience, which he had I leave him distrustful and reluctant); where he wondered what limit she could have with said ability.

"I wonder what interesting things the future holds…" David said to himself; at the moment in which he focused his gaze on the clear sky, where he was for a long time; in the end he decided to concentrate on his next mission.

After this, the blonde carefully lowered the ruined building; and then he started walking towards the first house (Fourth in Goki's case) to check the safes, and it is also possible that he finds something else that is useful to him.
