Andy is dreaming.... In his dream, something looked at him from a long distance, and the feeling sent chills down his spine, so he tried to find the source of his gaze while looking for a place to hide from it.

He walked in an area that resembled a desert in the dark, and the surroundings were eerie. Except for the sand dunes and cacti, there is a vast expanse of yellow sand, and the only light source around is the light of the Pip-Boy on his arm.

Although he didn't feel hot or thirsty, the desolate atmosphere kept adding to the worry in his heart, and it became worse with each failed evasion.

After enduring and enduring, he really felt unbearable leaning against a sand dune. That terrifying gaze still seemed to be trying to lock on to him, and although the gaze was blocked by the dunes, it was clearly still looking in his direction.

"What the hell—" He gritted his teeth, dispelled the unprovoked cringe, rose from the ground, and climbed up the dunes in three steps and two steps.

After barely standing up straight, he looked ahead. Nothing.... But the feeling of being watched by something was still quite clear, accompanied by a terrible oppression.

It seems that the surrounding wind and sand tend to solidify because of this invisible pressure, what is the reason for all this.... A gentle wind suddenly blew through, raising some sand, and Andy was blinded by the sand, and when he opened his eyes, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

After looking around for a while, he noticed that something was wrong, that is, the surroundings had become much brighter.

A tingling sensation on the scalp was getting worse, as if something was above it. Andy was stunned for a second, then suddenly raised his head suddenly....

"Smack!" Something hit Andy in the face at once, causing him to wake up from his dream, and he gasped to get up, finding that his whole body was already soaked with cold sweat.

An unidentified yellow object falls from Andy's face, shattering into several pieces on the ground. He frowned and looked down, and saw that it was actually a potato chip.

"What...."Before his mind was turned around because of the nightmare, a commotion came from not far away.

"Look at what I do!" A hoarse voice was heard.

"If I do that—" Andy was stunned for a moment, then immediately got up from his bed and hurried in the direction where the sound came from, and after a few quick steps in the silver-gray metal corridor of the large dome, he rushed to the room where the sound came from, because the room was on the opposite side of the room he was, and the automatic door was also open.

"Poof! - "I don't know what spurted out of the door, he had already tried his best to dodge it instantly, but he was still sprayed.......... Some kind of viscous, foamy liquid doused him all over his body with such a force that he couldn't see anything for a moment.

Still, the smell of the liquid filled Andy's nostrils, a rich, complex aroma of fruit accompanied by the rapid reaction of carbonic acid bubbles bursting on the skin, and anyone who knew a little bit of knowledge knew what it was.

It is clear that someone attacked him with a nuclear coke cannon. Wiping a handful of nuclear cola from his forehead, Andy looked at the scene inside the door speechlessly.

Tank, James, and Paul continued to mess around as if no one was around, clutching snacks like potato chips, preserved fruits, cereal, biscuits, macaroni, and nuclear cola.

"Hahaha, see who got the surprise?" Tankbrain was holding an empty nuclear Coke bottle in his hand, and it was obvious that the attack had come from his hands.

James let out a monkey-like laugh as he ate a bag of potato chips in his hand, while Paul sucked on a bowl of milk-frothed cereal from a bowl on the table.

This was never possible before, because scientists had to save money to survive, but now it seems that the situation is completely different, and their attitudes towards food have changed dramatically to the point of treating food as a toy.

Large quantities of tonic paste were quickly sold out through several sales channels, and due to the insistence of the Dog City salvage workers, many supplies arrived in Dog City with trains and caravans as bartered items.

Ever since Porter learned that the Hoover Dam had been mired in fighting and had lost contact with the mainland for a long time, he knew that it would be an impossible task to ask Dodge to fulfill his promise immediately, and instead, the people of Dog City needed to wait for the right time, and Dodge promised that Porter's previous promise would be fulfilled once the Hoover Dam was turned around.

Until then, they have to trade with Dogtown, using various supplies to exchange valuable pre-war junk with Dogtown.

The Great Dome was abundantly divided, and the material was greatly enriched, and the scientists no longer lacked food, and the strings no longer had to reluctantly eat the dog meat they had bought from the Dog City..... Although the situation in other areas is still unclear, in the remote northeastern border area of the Eastern District of NcR, the people of the Great Dome and Dog City rarely live comfortably.

People began to revel, celebrating their respite from an existential crisis. Andy also really relaxed for a few days, but he has been faintly uneasy in his heart, and the matter has not been completely resolved.... A day earlier, Dr. String and Dr. Goddard and Dr. Agnes had evaluated the duration of the tonic cream, and concluded that a mild patient with a mild disease could delay the progression of the tonic cream for one to two months if they took the right amount of the tonic cream regularly, but after that, the effect of the tonic cream would decline rapidly.

In the state of doing twice the work with half the effort, the epidemic will come back. In other words, Andy is now only given a buffer period of less than three months, and although things are not as urgent as before, he still needs to find a way to get paid.

But it's clear that not everyone has this level of awareness, and that's the case with the three guys in front of you.

"Oh awesome, those nuclear colas have long since become lukewarm and out of gas, how did you get it to this point?" James looked at Andy and smiled evilly, analyzing from the potato chips in his hand, the key thing that freed Andy from the nightmare came from his prank, although the starting point of this incident was not very good, but the result was good, and Andy was not angry about it.

But the matter of Coke spraying your face is another matter.... The Tank Brain tossed the empty bottle aside and let out an eerie laugh with the electronic sounding device.

"Guess what, guess how I managed to do this Coke cannon?" Paul, who was bored eating cereal, had been pondering something, and when he heard this, he sat aside and pouted and pierced the key.

"I saw you throw some white pills into the Nuka-Cola bottle, and that's because of that, right?" The tank brain took out a small box, which contained several white pill-like items, and a vague word with an M on the box.

"That's right, the gelatin and gum arabic in this candy contain glycoprotein components, which break the hydrogen bonds of water molecules, disintegrate their surface tension, and then there is - fountain!" Andy shook the sticky drink off his hand, only to feel disgusting.....

"Looks like you're in a good mood, and you must have figured out how to find a clue to that key person, right? But don't say you haven't made any progress lately...."The tank dodged left and right, trying to escape from here, but Andy's words made him give up the struggle.

"Dr. Goddard should have done the other analysis, you have nowhere to run today, let's say, didn't you say you knew a certain brain in the think tank, that guy was involved in building a top-secret automated facility, right? How are we supposed to find that guy? Paul forked the cereal with his fork for a moment, and suddenly felt a headache hit him, and he slammed into his feet and rushed out of the room, nearly colliding with Andy, and a box fell out of his pocket and fell to the ground.

Andy glanced at the stumbling back and didn't react further. I didn't know what to say, but when I saw the box on the ground, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Wait, I'll tell you, it's actually very easy to find him." He pointed to the box on the ground.
