"Actually, neither."

Dr. Agnes gave an answer that surprised Andy.

"We sealed the Dome two months ago, and we didn't know if or when Dr. Prester would come.... Eddie's argument is even more untenable, and we wouldn't have starved to death without him bringing back supplies... But he couldn't tell him about the virus. ”

"I know that this will lead to speculation, but if we tell him, we are afraid that he will leave here immediately with his family."

Andy nodded, then became more confused.

"So, why?"

Dr. Agnes and Dr. Goddard looked at each other again.

"The story is a bit long.... More than 3 years ago, and nearly 4 years ago, I teamed up with Dr. Goddard to lead a team to the Great Dome, and NCR's National Counterterrorism Agency arranged for Sergeant Larsen to escort us with a few soldiers. ”

"Objectively speaking, they put in a lot of effort... When we arrived at the Dome and were stationed there, they were still in charge of security. ”

"We found a lot of things after that, and I really didn't expect Dr. Prester to be..."

Dr. Goddard snorted coldly when he heard this.

"I told you all then."

Dr. Agnes shook his head, still in disbelief.

"In short.... The biggest danger we faced back then was the glowing ghouls, which roamed around and often wanted to come in and were quite troublesome to deal with. ”

Dr. Goddard interjected suddenly.

"Those ghouls are very difficult to kill, and even if they do, the corpses are a source of radiation. We can't get closer, so we can only use warning signs to remind us and then consider how to deal with it. We have thought of a lot of ways, even including sealing the corpse with cement.... But none of them worked. ”

Dr. Agnes' expression looked a little difficult to let go.

"Actually, things could have been... At that time, Sergeant Larsen and they had been in charge of killing the ghouls and taking the corpses, which had exposed them to high radiation for a long time, and we gathered up the Raditenin that we could find in the Great Dome and supplied them. ”

"You know what Lentening is, right?"

Andy pulls out a bag of radiatine from the Pip-Boy.

"That's it, isn't it? It seems to be also called radiation? ”

Dr. Agnes nodded.

"That's right, it's this anti-radiation drug, it's a diuretic, this red liquid can help the body get rid of the radiation that has accumulated in the body after the injection, but do you know what problems can be caused by too much use?"

Andy thought for a moment, recalling some of what he had seen in the wasteland.

"Some people hoard this stuff, it's not at the level of fear of radiation sickness, I think they're addicted.... Although it is rare to hear that this stuff is addictive. ”

Dr. Agnes agreed.

"That's right, a lot of people don't know that Wattenin can also cause addiction. Excessive use of it will cause you to feel the pain of burning all over your body, which leads to not many people who are addicted, but if you continue to use it consistently, then you will become dependent.... At the same time, the human spirit can also be distorted. ”

Andy touched his chin, he estimated that something was wrong with the soldiers, and what he learned afterwards was not unexpected.

"Larsen's they've been using Raditenin, after all, they're going to die of radiation sickness if they don't use it, but then they're addicted to Raditenin. They began to become extreme and hysterical, becoming more and more dangerous..... More and more of the medicines they are asking us for have caught our attention. ”

Dr. Goddard interjected again.

"I told you a long time ago, when they started to be disobedient, they should have been direct..."

Dr. Agnes shook his head.

"Directly what? How many of us can shoot? We couldn't handle it without Larsen, their glowing ghouls. ”

Dr. Goddard was speechless, muttering something about what would he have done if he had been at Hoover Dam.

Agnes turned around, also a little troubled by the state of affairs.

"The first appearance of the glowing ghoul was a year ago, 8 months ago Larsen they encountered two in 3 days, he said like he couldn't sit still.... He had to take his soldiers out and camp to take the initiative to eliminate the ghouls. ”

"At that time, Dr. Goddard strongly disagreed, but I could tell that if I pushed them any longer, they would go to extremes.... They had to be allowed to release some steam, so in the end we agreed that they would go out and set up camp. ”

"About six months ago, Larsen came back with people and asked for medicine, and they kept saying that they had eliminated dozens of ghouls, and that we would be doomed without them."

Dr. Agnes sighed.

"Things have gotten out of hand since then, and we know they're probably exaggerating for the sake of drugs, but we don't have a way to verify it..."

"If they could still be safe, it would be fine, but then they can't even patrol it."

Goddard didn't hold his nerve when he heard this, and stood up and angrily scolded the soldiers.

"It's all a bunch of self-depraved idiots, how many times have we told them? Don't overdo it, I've seen the eye of the needle in their arm, and I deserve it! Their brains are broken! ”

Dr. Agnes waved at him.

"You'd better say less..... Anyway, you should be able to imagine what will happen next, a month ago, the ghoul wandered inside the Great Dome.... Dr. Goddard was furious, and he angrily scolded Larsen for not working. As a result, the conflict intensified, and Larsen and his men threatened us with guns to hand over all the medicines... to complete what they call their last patrol. ”

Dr. Agnes looked at Dr. Goddard.

"We didn't dare to announce this, for fear that everyone might do something unnecessary, but those soldiers won't give up, and they will definitely come back and ask for medicine when they run out of medicine, or they may kill us... So just the other day, I also agreed with Dr. Goddard to block the Great Dome. That's when Andy found out the reason why they blocked the Dome was just to keep the addicted soldiers from coming in and messing around, but it just so happened that Eddie's family, String, and Dr. Prester and his gang were all locked out.

Dr. Agnes looked at Andy with a look of gratitude.

"At that time, a person ran out without telling anyone, no one knew where she went, and we didn't know that there was a hidden exit on the pipeline floor.... I heard that you saved her, thank you so much. ”

Andy graciously accepted the other party's acknowledgment, and at the same time expressed his hope that everyone at the Great Dome would be able to devote themselves to drug development.

He subconsciously glanced at the beep boy, and the epidemic index had reached a shocking 56%....

After Dr. Agnes left, Dr. Goddard spoke his mind.

"Andy? That's your name, right... Although we promise that we will do our best to develop, we have some objective problems right now... If we want to do scientific research, then at least the crisis of the big dome must be resolved. ”

He touched his bald head, revealing a hint of anxiety.

"I don't know what Prester was doing, I saw him break the curfew I had set up. But after coming in, he didn't come to my side... What the hell is he in..."

Before he could finish speaking, Dr. Agnes suddenly pushed the door open.

"Goddard!"

She looked like she had suddenly known something.

"Paul told me that Prest, they went to the first and second floors and were taking some equipment and supplies with them."

Dr. Goddard immediately got up and walked out, and Andy followed them for some reason, and they saw that some GIs were indeed there in the surveillance to take all kinds of supplies roughly.

It's a mess there.

"Damn.... So that we don't have anything left .... However, they seemed to be in a hurry, and probably didn't plan to come down to look for us. ”

Less than an hour later, the GIs withdrew.

Dr. Goddard was in a hurry and called for the others to go down there and count what was left.

Andy goes up with them, during which the little rascal-like guy, the scientist who had been "borrowed" the pistol by Dr. Goddard, comes over and talks to Andy, and through the conversation Andy learns that his name is James, and the other middle-aged scientist who looks a little dull is called Donald.

Soon, they took the elevator to the upper floor, which was supposed to be the second floor of the Great Dome.

"Hurry up, hurry up, go see what's left!"

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