"Looks like he really cares." String walked in the hallway and chatted casually with Andy. Andy had nothing to do, and the other party retorted eloquently.

Hearing the words of the strings, the cylinder brain is even more energetic.

"Of course that kind of guy is not normal, I guess his brain has been burned out by radiation, and he is not far from becoming a monster, how about we secretly use the blue electricity fired from my cute Tesla rifle to humanitarianly destroy his filthy body?" Andy impatiently asks if he can replace Wagner's maintenance and use of the signaling device, so that the cylinder brain starts to think about other things.

"I think you may have hurt your brain when you had the brain surgery." Turning to look at the strings, she seemed thoughtful, Andy felt that the strings were so keen, she saw something that must be different from the living treasure of the tank brain.

"What do you think is abnormal?" Strings looked around to make sure no one else was there.

"Ever heard of the Chosen?" The first time Andy heard the term, he just thought it was very interesting.

"What's that? Some kind of religious organization? Xian shook his head solemnly.

"The Chosen One is the name of a ghoul organization. All members of this group are ghouls or people who have volunteered to become ghouls, and they have carried out some terrible activities in the past few years, convincing some uneducated wastelands to believe that the current world is a new world built by God, and that the future wasteland is destined to be filled with even more terrible radiation, and only the chosen ones will survive. The signature trait of the chosen one is that they turn into ghouls. ”

"Many years ago, a mysterious ghoul suddenly spread the theory that the ghouls are the Chosen One in New California, and many ghouls and wastelanders believed him and began to carry out some terrorist activities, such as deliberately destroying a nuclear reactor and causing a leak, or throwing radiation into the water source of the settlement, or even kidnapping people to places with high radiation levels in an attempt to forcibly create new ghouls." Andy was a little surprised, he didn't expect this to happen.

"And what is the end of them?" String shook his hair and leaned against the wall beside him.

"Of course, they were exterminated by the NcR, who was still alive at the time, and at first the NcR tried to negotiate with them, hoping to understand why they were so extreme... But those guys are obviously cult lunatics, and not only that, but their momentum is very strong, and many other ghoul colonies in the Solar State and New California are also affected and start to have an undercurrent surging... The tipping point of the story is that the Chosen One is discovered planning to lead a horde of wild ghouls into attacking a small settlement, and when this is revealed, President Tandi finally decides to eradicate these pests once and for all. ”

"The ghouls who only engage in intrigue are vulnerable to the regular army, and their so-called chosen ones are vulnerable to bullets.... It didn't take long for this cult to disappear and almost be forgotten altogether. Andy nodded silently, if from the perspective of the ghouls, all kinds of discrimination have never disappeared, and the bad emotions generated after a long period of oppression are probably only a spark, if someone with a heart guides them a little...

"Do you think Wagner is likely to be the remnant of that kind of guy?" The strings are noncommittal.

"It's been many years since the Chosen One was purged, but while that organization has collapsed, their minds won't go away. Many members of the Chosen Order have fled, and the ghouls rarely die a natural death, and to this day they may still remember what happened.... That incident also had a big impact on the NcR, and the population began to have a huge sense of distrust of the non-human race, and although the situation was under control when President Tandi was there, after her death..."Andy touched his chin, a little disapproving.

"While Wagner doesn't seem to be as humble and polite as most ghouls, it's not like a terrorist, is it? He's probably just a little sensitive, like a person who doesn't want others to reveal his scars..."Xian changed his posture, and then walked to the window, the outside color was still mainly red, which made people look at the eyes ache.

"Do you know that ghoul?" Andy recalls for a moment, remembering what they had discussed when they first met.

"He seems to have been a Vault dweller, is.... I forgot he said he didn't say the number. Xian raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Vault dwellers? .... That's rare, no wonder he knows how to repair machinery, but is that true? What about his beep-beep boy? Andy shook his head, and Wagner seemed to vaguely mention that he didn't have a beep kid now, probably broken.

The strings remained skeptical.

"That kind of guy may not have a word of truth in his mouth, he may tell you some nonsense, I advise you not to trust him easily.... There's only one reason I'm mentioning those old things to you, remember what I told you before? Our Dr. Donald of the Great Dome used small robots to scout the outside, and he once recorded a mysterious ghoul scouting the Great Dome multiple times. Andy was stunned for a moment, and understood the meaning of the strings.

"You said that mysterious spy was... Is that Wagner? But hasn't he been here in Dog City all the time? What are you doing in such a dangerous place to the north? Potter: They simply don't have that motivation to send him to do that. The string was silent for a moment, then uttered his speculation.

"Danger is only for humans .... Ghouls don't get attacked by ghouls, the glowing creatures roaming around are a kind of protection for him, and the radiation has no effect on him, and he doesn't even have to dig through the wilderness to find clean food and water. Moreover, no one knows what his past is, how do you know that he is only representing these scavengers? "The tank brain endured it for a while, but it still didn't hold back.

"Don't keep guessing, just knock him down and take him to the dome and shine a white flash to find out what happened! I know codE, I promise that he didn't know that he had told everything about himself from beginning to end, and even simply rebelled against him and brainwashed him! The string interrupted him angrily.

"What about the success rate? The probability of success of codE technology is pitiful, do you do that or let his head explode on the spot, or simply become a dementia, and then you will operate the device? She turned to look at Andy and cautiously drew a conclusion.

"I'm just telling you my guess, now this node is not suitable for getting to the bottom of it.... The Chosen One has been silent for years, and it's so far away from the New California they were active in, maybe I'm just thinking too much, but you don't let your guard down on that guy. ”....................... The next day, the crowd began to work on how to advertise.

Soon, some strange advertisements were launched into the wasteland through signaling devices.

"Tonic ointment! Miraculous pre-war formula, unparalleled efficacy, enhance the body, strengthen the body! It can cure any disease, you can eat it if you don't have a disease, eat more and prevent more! ”

"Still worried about being killed by the dreaded blue disease? Your savior is here! Tonic balm! If you eat it, you won't be afraid, you must eat it if you are about to die, and half a life can be saved! If you just got sick, you have to eat it, and you don't want to infect other people, right? If you don't get sick, you have to eat, who knows if there are any sick people around you? Great price, right in Dog City! ”

"Too little time? Eat this! Eighteen times in one night! The more you eat, the more powerful you get, and make you the king of the wasteland! Flip over those little blue pools that are scratching their heads! "The salvage crews recorded the advertisements in hoarse voices, on the one hand, because they had experienced the curative effects of the thing, so they didn't think it was a lie, and on the other hand, it also gave them a chance to play with their bad tastes..... Porter and the others, with Wagner's help, reconnected with the cryptographers, and they all agreed to restock, and no one would be left unmoved by all that fanciful boasting.

The dog traps of the Dogs Village were also invited to the salvage's camp, and after hearing that it worked wonders for blue disease, they immediately decided to buy as many elixirs as possible.

Finally, Potter's negotiations with the NcR began.
