Chapter 4 Dog Tracking
"So that's it, we've got to find him." Andy looked at himself and bleeped a little bullet called a mission called to find Paul, but it was not so easy to find him, Dr. Goddard called up the internal surveillance of the large dome that could still be used, but it was still useless, Paul was still nowhere to be found.
It was clear that he knew of a hideout that no one else knew and could not find. Wearing a white lab coat and rubber gloves, Xian was carefully introducing a drop of unknown liquid into the test tube, and the original turbid yellow liquid in it instantly boiled after this drop of water-like stuff dripped in, not only making a terrible sound, but even the bubbles rushed directly to the ceiling.
A large white mist billows out of the test tube and then quickly dissipates.
"Oh my God." Andy stepped back, the smell of the grotesque filling his surroundings. The string stood still, a faint sound of chagrin after a moment.
"It's all because of you....", she looked back at Andy, her expression a little gritted.
"After knocking on the door, you have to wait for someone to get in, don't you? You're interfering with me again, if I'm just going to succeed.... Forget it, you don't understand it. She brushed her hair from the waves and took off her mask.
Her fair face became red because of the experimental protective gear.
"So... You're going to find that freak, so why don't you go and ask for help from your good buddy? You know what I'm talking about, right? Andy was stunned for a moment, remembering that the demon was still recuperating here.
"Are you talking about my dog? Is it okay? String took Andy to another room outside, there were some cages of different sizes in the room, Andy saw that there were some rats, cockroaches, moles, ants and other guys inside, of course, these guys were mutated animals from outside, all of them were fierce and strange.
The largest number of them are the skinny and skin-leather Denver wild dogs that seem to have escaped from hell, their scarlet eyes glaring at Andy passing by, their drooling mouths barking wildly, and their expressions seem to be trying to devour anyone who passes by, but the cage is reinforced and there is a transparent material on the outside to completely seal the cage, this kind of deterrent is not effective.
This seems to be where the scientists of the Great Dome held the experimental animals.
"If you've seen enough, your dog is here." String's thin body made the white coat look big, and she leaned against a separate cage with her hands in her pockets, and then kicked the door of that cage with her foot.
I don't know where she kicked it, but the door opened. Andy was ready to see the guy screaming wildly, after all, it used to be like that.
But the guy who came out wasn't like that. A large, wilted dog came out of the cage slowly, and its fur was not as bright red as it had been before, but had become a little yellow.
The originally fierce dog face was also drooping at the moment, as if it couldn't lift any spirits, and when it shrugged its nose and approached Andy, it slowly raised its head to look at Andy.
"Wang~" A gentle bark came from its mouth, and it slowly walked to Andy's feet and looked up at it, the dark dog's eyes were no longer scarlet, but a little dazed purity.
Andy squatted down in surprise and stroked its head, it made a grunting sound, and finally lay on the ground and let Andy scratch its stomach.
"This.... Are you sure you're not looking for the wrong dog? String stepped aside and poured some food through a pipe, and the sound of a machine was heard inside, and the pellets were dispersed into the various sealed cages.
These things are made with a recycling machine in the Big Dome, and all the organic waste can be used as a material to make a kind of pellet, which tastes disgusting but can be used as a food option in the final case, and because it is so unpalatable, scientists have never tried it, and only used it to feed it to laboratory animals.
"You forgot what I told you, and if you make a choice, don't regret it." The string tightened the large jar filled with colorful particles and walked over to the demon and tugged at its ear, but it didn't respond.
"This dog has little fighting ability, and it has only a few years left in its lifespan, although it will live a little longer, but from a pragmatic point of view it is already a waste dog.... Of course, from a personal and moral point of view, I very much agree with and approve of your choice, what is it called? Andy's mouth opened and closed a few times, looking at the good dog in front of him, but he couldn't say the name before, because it didn't fit at all.
"Forget it, it's not bad since it's already like this, it used to be a good combat partner... Give him a new name, my first dog's name seems more appropriate for him now, so I might as well call it Dog Meat. The string couldn't help but shake his head.
"It's... Cruel bad taste, has it become your meat dog? But the name is unexpectedly funny when you think about it... At first, I couldn't accept eating dog meat at all, so I almost starved to death at that time, but then Dr. Agnes tricked me into eating it for the first time, but I didn't expect it to taste pretty good, much better than mole meat or cockroach meat. Andy is rubbing his dog's head in anger as he announces its new name to the reborn demon.
"Then you will change your name to Dog Meat in the future, you heard it, if you don't object to me, you will agree." The dog meat was kneaded by Andy's mouth, and he thought that Andy was still playing with it, and kept barking, without opening his mouth to object... Of course, that couldn't have been done by a dog.
"Stop playing." Xian walked to the side and looked condescendingly at Andy, who was still squatting on the ground and playing with the dog.
"Didn't you say you were looking for Paul? It just so happens that this dog of yours can help you, although it is not as aggressive as it is, but there is no problem with its nose, let it smell something that smells of Paul, do you have that thing? Andy took out a Mantat pill box from his coat pocket and handed it to Dog Meat.
"Do you know where he is? Take me to him, good dog. Dogmeat sniffed the pill box carefully, then let out a gurgling cry and began to show Andy the way, so the two of them and the dog began to wander around the huge dome.
They kept going from place to place, and finally the dog came to a stop in front of a closed door, and judging by the way it crouched on the ground and barked, it must have been here.
"Woohoo! ~" The string stopped and looked around, the surrounding lighting was very ordinary, some pipes of different thicknesses were coiled on the surrounding walls, some were metal, some were rubber, some were only as thick as an arm, and some were as large as Add's armored truck.
Some of these lines are emitting blue flashes at regular intervals, as if their pulses are beating.
Andy remembers what area this floor was, the area where he found the strings and entered the Great Dome was on this level, and he remembered that this was the pipeline layer of the Great Dome, and it was also the lowest level, and this level had an area connected to the outer pipe gallery, and theoretically that gap should still exist..... But the closed door in front of him seemed to be very unusual, it was strong and heavy, and there seemed to be a large independent space isolated from the back, the height of this floor, and the width of ten Andys side by side.
Most strikingly,
There are no door panels or locks on the "door" in the usual sense, but instead a blue light curtain that beats slightly and is translucent.
The small space behind was projected with intermittent flickering light that was even more intense than the outside, but because of the light curtain, everything was blurry.
"Paul hiding in here?" Andy curiously approached the light curtain, but was stopped by the string by the arm.
"Don't act rashly, it's a solid-state laser wall made by the advanced solid-state light generation technology of the old world, and if you touch that thing, you will be directly ejected." Strings looked puzzled, as if he couldn't figure out why Paul was here.
"That's not right... Only the three of us know how to get in..."There was a sound of the track turning, and Andy Chord looked back and saw that it was indeed a cylinder brain.
"Oh.... You're here too... Are you lost? He rolled his electronic eyes, looking a little unnatural.
