Chapter Eighty-Four: The Vanishing Town of Jacob
Rest assured, the apple is neither a Thai species, nor is it grown with the spring water of the female drowning spring, and the golden apple synthesized by it will not have the function of "motherhood" and "sexualization".
As for why Fox became a woman?
Wait, when did she ever be a man! Both men and women, after being injected with the FEV virus, they have become a super mutant with "no sexual characteristics", and they can't be regarded as a man just because she has a hideous and terrible face, swollen muscles, and rough speech......
"In short, you were indeed a woman before, right?" Leeds asked Fawkes, who was dressed in the tattered wasteland vagrant suit that the townsfolk had brought him, not at all embarrassed that he had just seen someone else's body...... With the body of such a mediocre-looking middle-aged aunt, Liz said that it was already a righteous act that he did not run to wash his eyes.
“…… Well. Fox clenched his fist and released it, and then he clenched his fist and let go of it, feeling the weak body. Maybe she couldn't carry the heavy laser Gatling anymore, but she didn't regret it in the slightest.
“………… Do you remember even before you became a super mutant? Klausa asked.
"I remember when I was scavenging near Little Light Town when I was attacked by super mutants...... And then take it all the way to Vault 87 to inject the virus......" Fawkes paused, a look of pain on his face, "...... I haven't forgotten what happened when I was a super mutant, although in retrospect, it was as if it wasn't me who controlled my body back then......"
There are many painful experiences as a super mutant, and to put it mildly, Fawkes didn't deliberately hunt humans after being released by Leeds. But while she was still being treated as research material in Vault 87, she had to eat human corpses sent by other super mutants in order to fill her stomach - let's just say. Not many people are able to transcend the moral threshold as easily as the ultra-beautiful 'White Glove Gang'.
"I'd really like to record this sentence for that group of biovirus researchers." Leon sighed.
"Hmph~ rude to ask, from the day you were injected with the FEV virus to today. It's been at least three years, is your body feeling noticeably aging? I would like to confirm the effect of the 'Golden Apple'. "If time had remained on the human body as it had passed, Marcus might not have been able to eat the golden apple...... Unless he wants to "die of human senility" at once.
“…… I don't think so...... I can't be sure, but I always feel exactly the same as I did at the beginning. Fox himself can't say where this feeling comes from.
"'Intuition'? That's what it should be...... The things produced by the system are still so human~" Liz nodded, "Then, we won't disturb your rest, and the others are still waiting for our golden apple." "Turn and leave.
"Huh......?" Fox paused for a moment.
Leon and Klausa looked at each other, said nothing, and turned away with Liz.
- They couldn't see the shadow of that loyal and sincere friend in this glazed wasteland woman. In other words, Fu Ye can be said to be dead.
But
"Fawkes! I'm still Fox! My friend, my benefactor! "There seems to be a breath left.
The three ............of them stopped.
"Maybe I'm the cold, selfish scavenger I used to be! But I'm also the super mutant you saved! I don't know how to repay your kindness! But I'm not going to live like I was again...... I'll go back to the East Coast to join the Brotherhood of Steel, learn how to fight, how to capture super mutants, and then turn them back into humans too! ”
"Heh, let's have a good rest now—[Fu Ye]."
———————————————————————————————————
"Are you both a 'human' and a 'super mutant'......" The final conversation between Fawkes and Liz and the others can all be heard, but perhaps only Marcus can appreciate the true taste.
Naturally, the human beings, including the Dr. in Jacob's Town, are just bystanders. And for other super mutants? Sorry, their brains can't think of something so complicated.
"What's wrong? Mayor Mare~" Liz tossed a golden apple.
“…… It's nothing. "Because I'm used to living with this body, this spirit. The fear of returning to the original human state all of a sudden cannot be said. He also has to take the lead in eating golden apples, some of his super mutant companions have gone insane, and if they don't return to humans, they will have big problems.
Right now. Let's ask another question that I am concerned about: "May I ask a few people from another world, how many golden apples do you have......
"It's no problem to turn all the super mutants back here," said he had previously planted apple trees at high speed using bone meal. Let the number of apples be the same as the number of gold bricks, "In addition, there will be about a dozen more, right?" But the rest of the golden apples we're going to leave to the East Coast...... Do you have other friends you know that you need? "Uh. The social circle of super mutants is hard to imagine.
"Nope. I'm referring to the reproduction of the Golden Apple...... "Marcus, like Fawkes, was once a super mutant who wanted to save the other victims.
"Don't think about that," Liz waved his hand, "a gold brick and an apple can be crafted into a golden apple, do you think it's easy to find gold bricks in the wasteland?" "It's like the Madre Casino, didn't you run out of a bunch of [holographic security] that you have never heard of to make the three of Leeds happy?
"If I don't restore my human body, I should be able to-"
"-So why are you super mutants one greater than the other, we're going to have a hard time!" Listening to Marcus's tone of "Gold Seeker" that intends to give up his chance to return to humanity and become a "gold seeker" to save more people, Liz quickly interrupted, "Don't forget that we are from another world, and I won't stay here to synthesize golden apples!" ”
“…… That's right," Marcus sighed, looking up, "we can't be too selfish, this is the disaster caused by the people of this world themselves." ”
"......" Actually, Leeds originally thought that he was going to be reprimanded from a moral level, and then he relied on his mouth to push back, but he didn't expect Marcus to be reasonable to this extent.
Is there a synthetic recipe that only turns the body back, something that I don't remember, or something that I can't remember!? It would be a pity if this noble spirit was eroded by other vulgar spirits!
"Then we'll eat the golden apples first, and please distribute them to my buddies," Marcus nodded at the three Leons, "...... By the way, I'm not confident that I'll be able to keep my current state of mind after becoming a human - so, thank you, Otherworld. ”
"Whether it's your or Fu Ye's intentions, we have already accepted them." The three of them nodded, and each walked to the various terrifying super mutants to distribute the golden apples.
"Whew...... My super mutant friends! If you can understand me, it's okay if you don't, just follow me and eat this apple! ”
As of today, Jacobstown is no longer a "town where super mutants coexist with humans...... Incidentally, Marcus was a young and strong man after eating the golden apple. (To be continued.) )
