Little Yangtze

The Little Yangtze is a location in northwest section of the Big MT.

Background
It is a pre-War concentration camp where Chinese-Americans (officially saboteurs and spies) were imprisoned before processing by Big Mountain scientists for experiments. The inhabitants did not always understand English fully, providing camp guards with an excuse to use violence on them. Subject retrieval methods used by the science staff led to a great amount of distress among the prisoners. After the War, due to the subsequent fallout, some prisoners turned into ghouls, but due to the bomb collars on their necks, could not leave the camp. As it stands, they were forced to eke out a pathetic existence for over two centuries, locked inside the prison camp.

In late 23rd century, Elijah rediscovered Big MT and for a time used Little Yangtze as his base of operations, reverse engineering the technology used to force prisoners into submission for future use.

The camp is remniscent of the Japanese internment camps the United States government setup during World War II, where suspected Japanese-Americans were detained under the suspicioun of "spying and other seditious activities".

Layout
The prison camp itself consists of a square shaped fenced-in area with 3 gates. Each corner of the square has a field tent with many bunk beds. This section is occupied by crazed ghouls, who are pre-War Chinese-American citizens.

To the north of the camp is a ruined building which was used by Christine as a sniper post. Her rifle, Christine's COS Silencer Rifle, a dose of Steady, and ammunition can be found on the second floor.

Outside the east gate of the camp, there is a watchtower which was used as a base of operations for Elijah during his first few days at the Big Empty. Outside the watchtower, there are ammunition boxes and Elijah's LAER. Inside the watchtower, there is a dead Yangtze prisoner, multiple deactivated bomb collars and detonators, and a terminal which has several log entries from before the War and from Elijah's stay at the Watchtower.
