Chapter 22: Enter the Great Dome

"So, I should have access to the Dome, right?"

Andy looked back at the "big egg", which was the goal of his trip.

"Why did you go in? Even if you already have antibodies, I have to tell you bluntly that the Dome is not a mecca for scientific research now, but a crumbling bird's nest. ”

Xian watched the vicious demon circle around him, and seemed a little curious about the big dog.

"The big dome has had one problem after another lately.... I didn't know what was going on and I was suddenly locked outside, so I had to come out of it to get oxygen, but I passed out halfway through due to lack of oxygen. ”

Andy thinks about the strings and probably doesn't know much about what's going on outside.

"Because I had a reason to go in, I brought a holographic cartridge from Dog City that recorded data from Lowry Hospital in Denver before the war on the new plague, which must have helped in the development of a vaccine, and it was to end the epidemic of the new plague that I had come to end. Furthermore... If you don't know yet, Dr. Prester came here with a group of soldiers, and he should have entered the Great Dome by now. ”

String was taken aback for a moment, eagerly asking what was going on.

"So what did they do?"

"They killed the natives who got in their way, and they tried to kidnap your driver and his wife, but they didn't succeed... I guess I ended up in it, but I don't know after that. ”

String's face was full of frustration when he heard this.

"Just know..... Dr. Prest had a problem. ”

Andy had long been curious about the old man, so he took the opportunity to ask string about him.

"What the hell does that old man do?"

The string raised his hand and wanted to tickle it uncomfortably, but unfortunately the clothes were too swollen to reach it.

She sighed sullenly.

"Dr. Victor Prest, the first person in the NCR scientific community; Chair, NCR Governmental Scientific Advisory Group; President Tanti's most trusted and relied upon technical advisor; In the field of technology, there is no one who understands it like a god. When attacking the enclave, most of the NCR's scientists were helpless when it came to analyzing the high-tech technology, and they all relied on his own NCR to successfully achieve the fruits of victory. Later, he also presided over the exploration and restoration of pre-war scientific facilities in the east, and he was highly regarded by scientists throughout the NCR..."

Andy noticed the peculiarity of her words.

"Hmm... Aren't you from NCR? I've heard that you scientists are all from NCR, right? ”

The string paused, then looked at Andy.

"You noticed... Indeed, nominally I am from the land of the NCR, but in reality I am from a group with the ability to govern, just to the west, far from here, the Shi clan.... That's where my hometown and my relatives are, and the people there are people like me, and we have a high level of technology and education, but... NCR is getting stronger and stronger, and we have to keep in touch with them, and exchange students like me need to leave their hometowns, and I came here by accident. ”

"I'll introduce myself, my full name is String Lee, or... According to our habits, we should read it in reverse order, I am a graduate student majoring in biochemistry..."

These exotic terms made Andy think a lot at once, not only what he had seen and heard in some pre-war facilities before, but also some things in the depths of his mind, which made Andy feel very familiar at once.

"I, can I ask some questions, just.... Are you BA people? ”

Xian seems not surprised by this question, and the vast amount of information left over from the pre-war period often contains some propaganda, and one group of people is always mentioned in this way.

"You guessed it right, the Shi are the descendants of the BA people, our ancestors came to land from the sea, built the first settlements out of parts from that submarine, and then developed to this day."

Xian looked at Andy, and then suddenly said two words in a very eerie tone.

"baizhanbaisheng, g high-ranking official yongyuanbubai!"

Andy was stunned for a moment, and then the string suddenly laughed to himself.

"Haha, are you scared?"

So Andy laughed too, although he didn't get any laughs, but seeing the strings laughing at him was also genuinely happy, which was really a strange feeling.....

"So, what does that mean?"

The string made an embarrassed expression.

"How can I say it.... It's been too long, and the original meaning of those words has no meaning today, you just need to understand that they are military slogans and military codes. ”

"So... Do you know what a BA looks like? ”

The string shakes its head.

"We didn't leave any image records, those transcripts... I'm afraid it's long outdated, and that great war has destroyed both worlds at the same time, and I'm sure you can draw an analogy... For the first few decades, our ancestors waited for some signal to cross the ocean, but eventually we all knew that it would never happen. I was born and raised on this land, I have never been there .... It has become a forgotten hometown. ”

With that, the string gradually regained his strength and stood up.

"Since you must go in and have a legitimate purpose, then I can show you the way, from the pipe gallery below you can enter the pipeline level of the third floor of the Great Dome, and then we can bypass the quarantine device and the access control and enter the Great Dome directly, this is the road I stumbled upon when I was wandering around inside and outside the Great Dome alone, and I didn't tell anyone but Helen and Add."

"Also, can you show me your data?"

Andy hurriedly inserted the cassette into the beep boy and sent it to the strings. The string struggled to distinguish through the mask of the hazmat suit, and soon became moved.

"Good... The data you get is so precious that the data left over from the dome can't be compared.... I can help you sort out the data later and make it more detailed, which would be a great thing. Without further ado, let's get on the road now. ”

The two of them and a dog walked into the pipe gallery again, and half an hour later, they came to the end of the pipe corridor, and after crossing an entrance, the space instantly widened.

“..... It's spectacular. ”

Andy looked up, it was about 8 meters high, and a large number of various pipelines were arranged in a chaotic but orderly style, like giant snakes swimming around.

There are faint blue lights that provide some lighting in the gaps, and it looks quite sci-fi.

They eventually merge into the upper and lower parts and the pipe gallery behind them, and the abundance is dizzying.

"This is the pipe layer of the Great Dome, all the pipelines are arranged here, and all kinds of supplies are provided for the upper three floors and the main control layer below, which can almost replenish all the needs for the survival of personnel in a completely isolated situation from the outside world, because this place was originally planned to be an experimental site for the colonization base in outer space.... That's why it survived the Great War. ”

String walked ahead, stretching out his bloated hazmat suit arm and pointing in one direction.

"There's an elevator over there... After that, there was actually an entrance to the big dome from the eastern parking lot on the ground, but that side is now blocked, so the only entrance is left here, and the western parking lot has collapsed and it is impossible to enter. ”

The demon suddenly ran over and tore at the string's hazmat suit, only to be stopped by Andy's rough yelling.

"What the hell is going on with you?"

The demon just screamed, and he still looked like he didn't recognize his six relatives and only recognized his fist.

String watched the demon's performance and suddenly made a guess to Andy.

"I have an idea that your dog may have some kind of virus, possibly rabies."

"Huh?!"

Andy looked at the demon, this dog is indeed crazy, but it doesn't look like a rabid dog carrier....

When he was in Dog City, he had watched Jimmy deal with a man who had a rabies attack when he was out scavenging, and not long after, less than a week later, he had a rabies attack.

The man began to babble gibberish, frantically smashing everything around him, his whole body convulsed involuntarily, and even began to fear light, water, and even wind. He hides in the shadows and attacks others, and is eventually violently subdued by Jimmy, who is not afraid of rabies, and is imprisoned in a small dark room, where he dies not long after.

According to Jimmy, rabies is very violent, and he has observed that dogs and people alike can die within a month or even a few weeks if they become infected and become ill.

But the demon has been with Andy for almost half a year, how can it be rabies?

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