Chapter 3: Jimmy's Story (2)
Jimmy walked over with two thick arms, and the NCR soldiers raised their pistols one after another.
"Stand there and don't move, you super mutant."
The gloomy soldier who followed Goddard seemed to be a leader, staring at Jimmy coldly, not letting his guard down in the slightest because he claimed to be a doctor.
"You want to get close and kill us all, don't you? I've seen how cruel you monsters are! You say you're a doctor? Phew! Super mutants deserve to be doctors? ”
Helen looked at Jimmy with some panic, but she couldn't care when she saw the child's face getting more and more ugly.
"Are you really a doctor? Can you save my child? ”
Eddie looked at the soldiers who raised their military rifles in a cold sweat and tugged at Helen's shoulder.
"Helen, don't go over..."
Helen was so anxious to save her son that she shook off her boyfriend's hand and wanted to walk over with her shoulder and the child in her arms.
The soldier who insulted Jimmy gave Helen a disgusted look, and the fingers pulling the trigger gradually became stronger, he had seen the super mutants go crazy in New California, the monster tearing several soldiers apart like a piece of paper, and the bullets that hit them were almost ineffective..... These things are monsters in their bones, bloodthirsty monsters, and the NCR sergeant named Larsen is all too sure of that.
Agnes watched this scene and didn't know what to do for a while, Xian struggled for a while and ran after Helen, not far away, Goddard, who didn't want to pay much attention, saw Xian running over, sighed slightly, and said to Larsen, "Don't shoot." ”
Larsen glanced back at Goddard, slowly lowered his rifle and waved at the other soldiers, so everyone lowered their guns.
"Are you sure you want to? Dr. Goddard, that kind of guy counts as one, and it's all monsters. ”
Goddard saw Helen, who was being supported by the strings, walk up to Jimmy's side and describe to him why his child suddenly lost consciousness, it turned out that Helen was breastfeeding her youngest child just now, who would have thought that the truck was crushed against a rock and jolted, and when Helen looked at the child again, he opened his mouth wide and closed his breath.
"My people have passed... And the National Anti-Terrorism Agency orders you to obey me and not question my judgment. ”
The bald man was a little disgusted by Sergeant Larsen's rhetorical question.
Sergeant Larsen looked at Dr. Goddard and said no more.
........
Jimmy saw the soldiers drop their guns, so he lowered his arms as well.
Judging from Helen's words and the child's state, this is probably choking, and the child is suffocating.
In the tattered medical book he had read, there happened to be such a case of disposal.
Jimmy took the child and turned him over, let him lie on his knees, put his head down and lift his legs, then stretched out a palm to support the child's chest with his fingers lifting the child's chin.
With the other hand, a finger is stretched out and gently pressed against the center of the child's back shoulder blades.
Jimmy's fingers were too thick and too forceful, and he didn't dare to use them, because he was afraid that it would directly press the child to death.
After a few compressions, he turned the child over and pressed his fingers under the sternum.
After repeating this several times, Helen's child coughed up a mouthful of milk and his breathing returned to normal.
"Oh my God! My baby is well! ”
Helen's eyes wept.
String happily sees the child saved and thanks Jimmy.
"Thank you, big guy... I didn't expect you to be a doctor. ”
Jimmy scratches his head, this is the first time he has tried to save a child, but luckily it has succeeded.
"No thanks.... Where are you going? ”
The string hesitated for a moment, not dodging the question.
"We're going to a place in the north called the Great Dome, where are you going?"
Jimmy really didn't know how to answer the question, he didn't really care where he was going, he just didn't want to be caught by NCR or go back to picking up trash.
"I don't know, I'm just walking around."
Hearing this, String asks Jimmy if he would like to go with them, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he returns to the others and makes the offer.
"Jimmy is indeed a doctor, and he is very good at fighting, why don't you take him with you on the road?"
Everyone expressed surprise.
Dr. Agnes was particularly dissatisfied, as she was a graduate student under her tutelage, but she was never obedient, often assertive and fiercely expressed her opinions when she disagreed with others, and was chosen this time, basically because of her hard skills in the field of technology.
"How can we suddenly bring such a person? Isn't that..."
The two of them quarreled on the spot, and neither of them gave an inch.
Dr. Goddard had turned around and gone back to the car to do his own thing after Jimmy had saved Helen's child, but after a while, the truck didn't restart, and when he went out, he saw Agnes and Chords arguing endlessly, and the bald head raised his eyebrows and felt a rush of anger in his heart.
He listened to the argument between the two for a short while, and suddenly interrupted the endless quarrel between the two women.
"Alright, that's enough! Then let that super mutant get in the car, stop arguing, it's all pointless, Agnes, didn't you say you can't waste time delaying Prester's bastard's bird plan? Helen's child is not in good health, it is okay to bring a doctor, anyway, he can take care of himself, so be it! ”
Dr. Agnes suddenly shut up after listening to Goddard's decision, she had to listen to this person, Dr. Goddard is the vice president of the NCR Scientific Advisory Group, and the National Counter-Terrorism Agency even sent a team of NCR soldiers led by Sergeant Larsen to protect his safety after learning that he insisted on joining Agnes and his party to the Great Dome in the east, which means that Goddard is not only the highest in this group but also the most powerful.
It was different from what Dr. Agnes had thought when she set off, but everything was different from what she had thought.
She is a member of the NCR's first echelon of science and an avid fan of the Chair of the Scientific Advisory Board, Dr. Prester, who was NCR's Chief Scientific Advisor back to President Tandi and was in the limelight after President Tandy's death. He has made terrible achievements in various fields, and even during the NCR's war against the enclave, Dr. Prester showed several miraculous technological understandings, helping the NCR and the Brotherhood of Steel to break through the enclave of Navarro and achieve the final victory of the war.
Someone in the NCR scientific community has commented that Dr. Prester understood technology a hundred years before all of us.
This is an exaggeration, but it is deeply agreed with by insiders, and there are many people who have idolatry for Dr. Prester, and Agnes is one of them.
A few years ago, Dr. Prester had made a surprise trip to the NCR state to give lectures, and he declared that he had discovered great technology that could revolutionize the world in the Great Dome, an Old World relic facility that he had been working on in the eastern Colorara region, and that he was willing to invite scientific talents of sufficient skill who identified with him to go there and participate in all his great work in building the New World, pushing history into the next chapter.
Dr. Agnes was one of the fascinated fans in the audience, and after communicating with Dr. Prester and receiving approval, she was instructed by Dr. Prester.
"Here's for you."
The legendary scientist, who looks like Albert Einstein, hands Agnes a small cassette tape.
"Dr. Agnes, huh? Congratulations, you will be the last person to join my program. Next you need to find 30 real talents in the country and take them to the Great Dome in the east, and all I will give you is the code you need to use to enter. I am waiting for you there, and believe me, you will be greeted with a great and glorious future...."
Agnes was overwhelmed with emotion, and she promised her idol, Dr. Prester, that she would make it to the Dome on time with enough talent.
After that, Agnes diligently searched for and discerned the kind of qualified talent that Dr. Prester was looking for, and during this time, String from San Francisco, a young girl from the first family with a good understanding of the biological field, was favored by Dr. Agnes and became one of her graduate students.
Nearly halfway through Dr. Agnes' talent search plan, something big happened.
