After chatting for a while, Andy has a preliminary understanding of the past of the Dog Village.

According to the grin, in the records of their ancestors, in addition to the wild dogs that can be seen everywhere in Denver, there are many, many strange iron objects left over from the old world, and even many mysterious monsters that move automatically. Andy speculates that those are high-value items left over from before the war, and maybe he should go there when he has time in the future, and maybe he can make a fortune.

"Speaking of which, what did you go to the teacher for?"

The smile on the grinning face faded suddenly, and he once again looked as sad as he had been at the beginning.

"Ahh You don't know about this, but recently a lot of dogs in our village have been suffering from a strange disease, and I asked the teacher, and he said that he had never seen this before, and he couldn't figure out what was going on, so I was very worried. ”

"What's the strange disease? It's not that I'm boasting, but I still know a little bit about medicine...."

"That's it.... It's just that some dogs suddenly start to be irritable, the hair on their bodies begins to fall out, their skin festers, and their bodies become weaker and weaker.... The teacher gave them some traditional dog medicine, but it didn't work, and I'm afraid that the disease is a contagious disease, and if that happens, it will bring a big blow to our village.... I'm talking to the teacher about whether I should just take those dogs first.... Killed? ”

After grinning, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"No, those dogs are the lifeblood of their masters, and they can't just make a decision so easily, I'm really worried.... I've done several sacrifices and asked the spirits if they could help, at least tell me what caused the disease, but nothing has happened..."

Andy said that if this had been answered, the dogs would have suffered even more.

"Can I go and see the dogs specifically?"

Grinning agreed.

The two walked together for a few minutes until they arrived at a stone house, where the owner greeted and grinned warmly, and they began to communicate in dog-twisted language, and then grinned and led Andy into the family's house.

Andy walked in, expecting to see the sick dog soon, but he didn't expect to see a mourning hall.

A stone platform was placed in one corner of the house, on which a dead dog was placed, and two candles were lit around it, candles were a rarity for the Dog Village, and being able to light two of the dead dog showed that the owner cared deeply about the dog's departure, which was supposed to be a funeral for the dog.

grinned and exchanged with the sad male owner on the side for a while, then turned back and said to Andy in common language: "It's really unfortunate, I didn't think that his dog has died of illness, and this matter has to be dealt with quickly.... Andy, why don't you go and see how the hell that dog died? There are also several dogs with this symptom, I don't know. ”

Andy nodded and walked over to the dead dog.

This is a typical Dan dog, with ears erected, slender limbs, and a refined body, a little old, and the corpse is already stiff at the moment. It was supposed to be in the prime of life, and a bizarre death was unusual.

Its condition was similar to that of the grin, with multiple symptoms of hair loss and skin ulceration on its body.

Andy carefully opened its mouth and found that several of its teeth had been lost.

Grinning over and asking eagerly.

"How's it going? Do you see anything? ”

Andy hesitated for a moment, then came to a tentative conclusion.

"I think it might be radiation poisoning... But just looking at it this way I'm not completely sure, I need a little .... You know, a more in-depth analysis. ”

Grinning and Andy's wide gaze.

“... What? What is radiation poisoning? I don't understand the word you said, and what does that in-depth analysis mean? ”

Andy thought to himself, yes, he's illiterate again, and it's better to talk to the natives just plain and simple.

"Radiation.... It is impossible for you not to know what radiation is, the toxins that remain in the air, water, food, and animals after the destruction of the old worlds.... Alas.... Your environment is really good, and some people outside may not know what radiation is..."

After explaining for a long time, grinning finally determined that radiation = evil spirits with his understanding, and Andy didn't bother to explain.

"Anyway, I need to dissect the dog's body now, only then can I determine what the hell is going on, can I be allowed? Could you please consult with its owner.... This is the fastest and most straightforward way to confirm. ”

There was an embarrassed expression on his grinning face, it seemed that this request was not very in line with the custom of hanging dogs, but it was estimated that there were many dogs suffering from the same disease, and gritted his teeth and began to communicate with the silent sad man.

The man was extremely excited, as if he felt that the act was an insult to his dog, and even wanted to come over and push Andy, but he couldn't hold back the grinning roar style education, the man finally nodded, and left the room without saying a word, as if he couldn't bear to see his partner die and suffer.

Andy took out the machete that Craig had given him from the Pip-Boy, the silver-gray machete with the handle and back of the knife decorated with gold and silver was very easy to use, and it was a piece of cake to cut open the belly of the dead dog in front of him.

He carefully used the blade of a machete to completely cut open the dead dog's stomach, and then used the knife to peel the contents of its stomach out.

A moment later, under the light of the two candles, Andy was embarrassed to find that he had found two clearly human fingers from the dog's belly.

With a grin, he jumped up and rushed out, followed by the sound of him arguing with the man outside the door.

Andy looked at the two fingers and noticed something different, the skin of the fingers was shriveled and wrinkled like a red and white orange peel, and there were some signs of decay.

[Warning, Geiger counter detected ambient radiation, current intensity: 1]

Glancing at the beep boy, Andy said in his heart that it was true, I am afraid that this is not a human finger, but the finger of a rampaging ghoul.... Those sick dogs may have swallowed these things that they shouldn't eat, which caused them to fall into radiation poisoning, and even eventually died.

"Grin! Don't say it, I know what's going on! ”

The brawl outside immediately stopped, and a grin walked in through the door.

"What? What the hell is going on, I forced that bastard for a long time, or did he say that he hadn't fed a dog a human, so how did the contents of his dog's stomach come from? ”

Andy held up the two partially digested fingers horizontally with his machete and handed them to the grin.

"It's not a human finger, it's a ragul's.... You may not quite understand what it is, but to put it simply, it is a human possessed by evil spirits, so the dog will be poisoned to death after eating it.... We're going to have to find the body to avoid poisoning from the dogs, and I've got some medicine here to probably save the dogs from being alive. ”
