There is an end to a long journey.

After several days of driving, Andy finally saw Tibbetts Prison.

It was a huge pale building in the middle of the desert, covering a very large area, and the interior was completely automated.

Not daring to get too close, Andy and Chagas got out of the car and walked towards Tibbetts Prison a little further away.

The beep-beep boy suddenly shook twice.

The screen went blue, and a serious Greek face with a bearded head and curly hair appeared on it, no doubt Odysseus had connected to the Pip-Boy via a remote signal.

"Welcome back to Prisoner 13013, I hope you've made progress."

Andy points the Pip-Boy towards Chagas and motions for Chagas to take off his gas mask.

Odysseus was silent for a moment, and finally finished the scan.

"Very well, you brought back prisoner 13045, I've asked the robots to stop the security procedures, you two come in."

The two walked in, and a robot began to guide them, and finally they made it to Odysseus' computer room again.

Chagas watched everything around him warily and in disgust.

Andy looked at Odysseus on the screen in front of him, and the other party seemed to confirm something.

"I've read the geospatial data of your way, and now that you've brought him back, I can disarm the search command for that area.... You're ready to move on. ”

Two robots walked towards Chagas.

Andy stopped them.

"Wait! Can he be released after being temporarily detained? ”

Odysseus asked.

"What do you mean? According to the anti-epidemic procedures, all sick people should have been quarantined in Tibbetts prison. ”

Andy waved his hand to try to show mercy to the method.

"But now that quarantine measures are meaningless, the new plague has spread again in the wasteland, even if those prisoners are quarantined, it will not prevent this already happened from happening, it is better to release them after calculating the data, so that I can better persuade them to come back to Tibbetts Prison, and help you get rid of the procedural restrictions faster."

Odysseus was silent for a moment.

"As you said, maybe there is no point in quarantining now, in that case, I should complete my program requirements as soon as possible, and then focus more computing resources on exploring solutions for the new plague, but.... Until then, I need to make sure that the released prisoners will not continue to spread the new plague. ”

Andy hurried to say nice things to Chagas.

"There aren't many people where he lives, and he's going to self-isolate."

Odysseus disagreed.

"That's not enough, he still has a chance to spread a new plague.... But if you think this will help improve the efficiency of retrieving prisoners, I also have a solution, although Tibbetts's chemical laboratory did not research an antidote to the new plague before the war, there is a reagent that can inhibit the spread of the disease to others. ”

A vial of reagent appears on Odysseus' screen, which appears to be a blue but slightly powdered liquid.

"This is a prototype reagent, tentatively named HU-09, the product of a failed attempt at a new plague antidote, but I have noted from my records that it theoretically can effectively inhibit the spread of the virus by carriers of the new plague for several months, and so far there has only been one clinical trial of this reagent in this regard...."

Odysseus' eyes looked at Chagas, who was clearly feeling very uncomfortable here.

"Prisoner 13045, choose your own way, if you refuse to be injected with this agent, then I cannot agree to your release from Tibbetts prison, and I must do everything in my power to stop the spread of the new plague. But if you're willing to take the injection, then I can agree to release you temporarily after a half-month observation period. ”

Chagas looked at Odysseus with reluctance on his face, he didn't really like to be injected with something of unknown significance.

Seeing this, Andy hurried over to the mouth cannon output.

"Chagas, you see that things have already turned out like this, if that machine head is angry, I can't let you out, anyway, that thing has a clinical trial, there should be no problem, you go back like this, it is likely that you will spread the virus to Blackfoot Village, it seems that no one has been infected yet, just luck, you see what a miserable situation Crosstown is, right? You don't want to be locked up here any longer, but you don't want Blackfoot Village to be like that, do you? ”

Chagas recalls the horrific sights of Crosstown, and finally reluctantly agrees to the injection, and he is led by two robots towards an infirmary.

Andy breathed a sigh of relief, and finally took the first step, so that he could complete the agreement with Odysseus, and did not deceive Chagas, and also took care of the safety of Blackfoot Village, and everyone was happy.

A few minutes later, Odysseus spoke again.

"Prisoner 13045 has completed the injection of HU-09, no adverse reactions have been observed, I have sent him to the observation area, I will release him temporarily in half a month, you can go and complete your mission Prisoner 13013."

Andy nodded in satisfaction, and was just about to leave, but something came to mind.

"Anyway, why didn't you ask me to inject this reagent? Wouldn't it be better for me to get a prisoner running around and inject it? ”

Odysseus looked at Andy sarcastically for a moment, and only after realizing that he really didn't react before he explained.

"Do you remember what I said? HU-09 has only had one clinical trial so far, guess who I'm using it for? ”

Andy was stunned for a moment, and suddenly it occurred to him that it must be him.

"So the first guinea pig to be experimented on was actually me? When? Why didn't you tell me about it? The gas mask I wore all the way.... I'm afraid I'm going to spread the virus! ”

Odysseus let out a low laugh.

"I thought you understood.... Come to think of it, my mission is to stop the spread of a new plague at all costs, how could I let a prisoner who could spread the virus run errands for me? The day you were captured by Argos, I had already completed the idea of the plan, and immediately administered you a large dose of HU-09 injection, and the results were successful, and many of the expected severe adverse effects did not occur.... Or maybe it has had a slight effect on your intelligence? ”

Andy was speechless.

"You..... In other words, you didn't have a crush on me, but I just happened to survive? You.... No, my soul has been hurt, you have to make amends to me, or I won't do it! ”

Odysseus looked at Andy with disdain for a moment.

"Have a big picture, if you die, you'll contribute to my refinement of the reagent and move the plan forward, and you succeeded, so you've made a greater contribution to all of humanity, haven't you? I'm sure that as soon as you start thinking like that, your stupid subjective emotions will disappear immediately..... However, for the sake of your work, I can give you some rewards. ”

After a while, a robot came over carrying a metal box and stood in front of Andy to open it.

Inside is a pistol with a very high-tech feel.

"Let me introduce you, the Micro Fusion Reactor Auto-Charged Pistol Alpha, which is a prototype energy weapon, quite rare and quite powerful, you can take it away."

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
