About an hour and a half later, Potter and Dodge made a deal. Dogtown will hand over the extra garbage, but the NcR will not be able to reduce the frequency of the train to deliver supplies, and the previous contract agreement on reduced sentences and the equivalent exchange of additional premiums has been reinstated.

Of course, this process is inevitably a repeated tug-of-war. Dodge was very skeptical that Dog City would be able to continue to provide so much high-quality trash in a short period of time, and Porter said they would ship some of the samples first.

Later, the two talked about the frequency of trains, and Dodge said that now the Hoover Dam can no longer spare more energy to take care of the distant Dog Town, not only the oppression of various external armed forces is becoming more and more powerful, but also the blockade of the Iron Brotherhood has cut off the connection between the Hoover Dam and the rear of the NcR for a long time.

And, recently, the Hoover Dam has begun to spread a terrible disease. As a representative of the Great Dome, Xian said that as long as the train operation is resumed, these problems will not be a problem.

Dodge was very surprised by this.

"I still have an impression of your name, you're the little girl who followed Dr. Agnes, right? I remember you were from the Shi family, and I thought you were all dead..... What have you been doing all these years? String sighed, since the scientists arrived at the Dome, there was no proper equipment there to make contact with the distant Hoover Dam, although they later established a trade relationship with Dog City, but by then the scientists had been collectively infected with the early strains of the new plague, and they had self-isolated and sealed the entire Dome to prevent the virus from spreading.

In the eyes of everyone at the Hoover Dam, this group of scientists has been lost for a long time, and it is very bad luck in the far east, where the environment is terrible.

I didn't expect them to be alive.

"We've been doing research.... Of course, a lot of things have happened all the time, for example, the soldiers who were sent to protect us have been due to various accidents..."Because thinking of the fate of those soldiers, the strings were speechless for a while.

Dodge was first surprised and then excited, as for the fate of the inferior cannon fodder sent out, it didn't attract his attention, soldier casualties were just too normal in the harsh environment of the Eastern Special District, and the death of a few slick heads who were ostracized didn't matter at all.

On the contrary, senior scientists are a formidable force, and the reabsorption of these outstanding NcR scientists could certainly improve the situation at the Hoover Dam.

"Oh, God bless you, why don't you come back by train? If I had known you were alive, I would have ordered the soldiers to pick you up from the railroad all the way to the Dome. Hearing this, the string immediately stopped Dodge.

"No, trains can't go to the Dome." She explains why.

"We already know about the situation around the Great Dome, there are a lot of glowing ghouls crawling out of a nuclear bomb crater left over from the war in the northeast, those monsters will definitely attack in droves if they see the whizzing train, once the blockage of the railway leads to the derailment of the train, the outcome is unimaginable, not to mention that the section of the railway has never been maintained since before the war, and it is not usable at all."

"Also, don't send a party on foot to the dome. Truth be told, we're all sick people, not only infected with the infectious disease that is also circulating there, but it's even more terrifying... In short, we need to be isolated from the outside here. Dodge sneered at the thought, but there was one more thing he cared about.

"You said you had the virus, the strange disease that makes people covered in blue blisters.... I heard a doctor who was a follower of the Apocalypse say that he judged it to be an extremely serious disease. He said that the disease will be very painful and have a high mortality rate, and the contagious ability is also very strong... It would be nice to say that the state of the Hoover Dam was normal, but the attacks from outside have made us nervous, and many people have died of illness. We can only barely support this plague, have you worked out a cure? Strings clenched her fists, and that was exactly what she wanted to talk about the most.

"We've worked out a way to do what we call a tonic balm, and recently we finally got it.... We need you to use the train line to transport the tonic from Dog City back to the Hoover Dam, and then distribute it to everyone in all the places around you that you can. Dodge let out a shout of excitement.

"That's great! I knew you smart people could! After eating this, what kind of ointment will cure this disease, right? In the midst of the other party's noisy nagging, the string struggled to explain what the tonic paste was.

"It can't cure the disease, it can only slow down the progress, and eating this thing can at least ensure that the problem will not get worse for a while.... I know that you have always been incompatible with the indigenous people around you, so don't be stingy this time, the tonic cream needs to spread more widely so that it can be effective in controlling the epidemic. ”.............. After some explanation, the output channel of the tonic paste has finally stabilized, and the important thing is the operation after that.

The crowd is rejuvenated by the renewed hope, and now that the previous agreement has been recognized, their wish to return to their hometown will be close to being fulfilled.

Half a month later, the first batch of tonic paste made from protein provided by the salvages of Dog City was made using the medicine assembly line of the Great Dome, sterilized and transported back to Dog City by Add's armored truck to break through the blockade of the ghouls, and these tonic creams were transported en masse to a train sent out by the Hoover Dam a few days later.

In exchange, the soldiers unloaded a large amount of supplies this time, and their attitude was much better than before, and they no longer looked down on the salvage workers, because these recovered items and medicines delivered back to the Hoover Dam were urgently needed by the Hoover Dam, and this trip was no longer an unappreciated baggage project, but a lifeline of life and death.

Watching the tonic balm roar west with the train whizz away, Andy only felt his heart soothed slightly.

He hadn't left the Far Eastern frontier to go back to see what had changed in the places he had passed, but judging from the clues revealed by the hounds and the crypto merchants, I am afraid that the situation was not good.

The New Plague has taken on a massive impact in the wasteland, a terrifying presence that existed before the war and fell silent with the fall of a nuclear bomb, and is now about to be resurrected.

The spread of those tonic creams will temporarily suppress the new plague, and while this is only a palliative cure, what is needed now is time, and with that time, Andy can find something that will really solve this crisis.

Two days later, Andy, who had already driven back to the Big Dome from Dog City, suddenly got a hint from the Pip-Boy.

[Due to the effect of the tonic ointment, the growth of the new plague intensity index will gradually slow down.] Dr. Goddard was once again sitting in the lab with his large, reflective bald head, and the tonic had pulled him back from the brink of being critically ill, and although the blue blisters had not disappeared, he had regained his mobility.

Dr. Goddard was relieved to learn that the tonic had been spread and even that the Dome had been well supplied, but he still had something to worry about.

"What about those glowing ghouls? I don't know when they will break in, the lockdown of the Great Dome is troublesome, and it can't be changed at will. Andy pointed to Dr. Donald.

"We found a lot of robot components, and Dr. Donald and the others used those parts to assemble some robots and send them to the outside of the dome to act as security guards, and this time there was no fear of someone suddenly colliding with the glowing ghoul again." Dr. Goddard nodded solemnly, but when he looked back at the bench, he frowned again.

"It's good that all these difficulties have been resolved, but what about the new plague? I tested the tonic ointment, and it was just a summary of the pre-war failures, and the principle was to make the virus dormant temporarily, but since it was dormant, sooner or later there would be a re-outbreak of the virus, and it was impossible to defeat the virus.... What are you going to do next? ”
