Chapter Twenty-Six: The Antidote and the Slides

Andy looked at the small green fruit that had been put in the tray and held up to show the small green fruit, and couldn't believe that this was actually the antidote to the terrible plague that had lasted from before the war to today.

What's even more surprising is that it's actually in one

"Man" is born on the top of the head.

"Since the development of the pan-immunization vaccine, the predecessor of FEV, it has deviated too much from its original intention, but fortunately, all of us are fortunate to witness it finally complete its mission with the help of everyone. So small, yet so great, it itself contains the tenacity and suffering of human beings who have fought against fate for a long time. Diana stared at the fruit, and it was clear that she thought it meant a lot.

Andy's beep-boy shook a few times, and he saw that the task of going to the nursery to find the antidote had been completed, but the next task did not jump out immediately.

Harold still looked a little unwell and sat motionless. Andy wanted to go over and ask him if something was wrong, but he suddenly found himself unable to move.

He hurriedly turned his head to look at Diana, wanting to ask if this was her ghost, but as soon as his head barely turned around, he saw that Diana's illusion was also as motionless as if it was stuck, and even the natural fluctuations of the holograms that never stopped were frozen as if frozen.

All of a sudden, the picture in front of me began to turn yellow, as if it was shrouded in some kind of mottled filter, and everything around me began to distort, so that it looked as if everything was gradually becoming an old picture... Wait a minute... Andy suddenly found that he could move again, he looked around left and right, and was surprised to see that he didn't know what was going on, and suddenly seemed to teleport to a small closed room, with no doors or windows around it, only a shabby wooden chair not far behind him.

A dim light emits from a small bulb overhead. The scene was even more peculiar, with Diana still in front of her, but in a way that projected photographs, a somewhat inconvenient projector mounted on the ceiling, projecting an image against the projection screen in front of her.

"This....?!" He felt terrified that he couldn't tell the real from the fake, could it be that he was still immersed in the hallucinations created by the mutated giant plants in the factory, all the hallucinations he had experienced in the central control tower before?

But this time, his memory is very clear, and he doesn't have the inexplicable fragments and all kinds of strange discomforts like before.

Luckily, the Pip-Boy vibrating on his arm interrupted his fantasies of going berserk. Andy seems to have grasped a lifesaver, Pip-Boy had never appeared when he was in a hallucination, and he had nothing on his wrist except for his watch.

In retrospect, it certainly wasn't that simple, and the disappearance of the beep boy on the wrist must have been a very definite symbol.

Now that the beep boy is still there... He glanced at the screen, and a new prompt popped up on it.

[New Task: Watch Slideshow] [Hint: Please sit in a chair] Andy hesitated, turned and sat down on the creaking chair, and as soon as he sat down, he felt as if he was firmly sucked in.

The projector immediately started working, making a strange clicking sound. The image on the projection screen has been replaced, and now the picture is the back of a male wastelander, who is standing in a tree-lined nursery looking at the white tower, Andy thinks that the back is really familiar, if nothing else.... It should be that he is not wrong, but some subtleties are a little different from himself.

A rough male voice came from behind the projection screen, and for some reason it sounded a little familiar to Andy.

So, the prisoner completed his first step to save the world, and after a lot of hardship, the antidote finally came to fruition. The new plague is no longer an unsolvable infectious disease from now on, but an ordinary infectious disease that can have the means to quickly cure and permanently immunize individual human beings. Perhaps, when all is a thing of the past, few people will remember a prisoner who walked the wasteland in obscurity to accomplish this nameless feat. ”

"But if it's just for fame and fortune, how can he accomplish this?" With a click, the scene switches again, it is a native village that Andy has not visited, and many corpses are wrapped in simple cloth and hastily buried.

"What the prisoner should know is that he can't rejoice too soon. Although the antidote has been successfully created, it is still a long way to go to successfully distribute it throughout the wasteland and truly defeat the new plague, and the people of the wasteland are still suffering from the new plague, facing a terrifying future of life and death with their loved ones and suffering from illness. Next, the prisoners will have to think about how they can get the antidote to the people everywhere who need them. There was another click, and the screen on the projection screen switched, this time an old man with a high-tech-looking metal cane, surrounded by a group of soldiers in NcR equipment, staring at Tibbetts Prison in the distance with a large hole in the fence that appeared to have been partially repaired, but was clearly not fully repaired.

Andy stared at the old man, who was clearly Dr. Prester, the root of all evil.

"There are many, many problems left unsolved, and the people of the wasteland are facing more than just the threat of a plague, and where the prisoner already knows and what he does not know, there are people who are planning terrible plots that will guide the prisoners to meet them."

"When that happens, what choice will he make?" The scene slowly switches to a tall, muscular male figure walking on a dimly lit road, and on either side of the road stand some beings of different shapes.

Some of them still have human shapes, while others look like whimsical silhouettes that have been put together like monsters entirely.

"Next, let's continue to witness." The beep boy shook for a moment, Andy saw that the task had been marked, and the projection screen in front of him had been replaced with the original picture of Diana again, and the surroundings began to gradually blur, and the chair under the ass no longer stuck to Andy.

He immediately stood up and strode toward the projection screen.

"Is that you? Old Fan?! He reached out and lifted the heavy projection screen, only to see that it was pitch black, and in the darkness there was a red spark twinkling in the air, as if a person was hiding behind the curtain and sitting in a chair like Andy, with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Ahem...."An embarrassing cough sound came from the Mars, and the next second, Andy's eyes went dark.

After a slight dizziness, Andy opened his eyes and saw that String was discussing with Diana about the fruit.

"So, as you said, this fruit only needs to be eaten to cure all the diseases of the new plague, and the person who takes it will gain complete immunity, and the virus in its body will also completely die, and there is no possibility of further transmission, right?" Diana motioned for the Jar Brain to keep the fruit safe.

"You're right, if nothing happens, it's going to do all the things you just mentioned. Even if it doesn't have any harmful side effects, the consequences of eating it are no different from eating an ordinary fruit, and it definitely doesn't make people turn green or have lower intelligence. Andy also walked over to ask for details.

"There is only one such fruit now, how much more can you make? If so, how much can be made in the short term? Diana nodded.

"This fruit can also take root and sprout, and it grows much faster than normal plants, I will send it to the garden area, use the GEcK there to speed up its growth, or it will start to bear a lot of fruit, I will turn the whole garden area into an orchard, and in a short time I can supply it almost indefinitely, you don't need to worry about this." Andy breathed a sigh of relief, and a question suddenly occurred to him.

"The results of those pre-war vaccines won't be repeated, right? For example, it's just a short period of hibernation for the virus. Diana raised her hand and showed a set of genetic images.

"Once this antidote is taken, it will make a small correction to the user's genes, and there is no need to worry about what problems it will cause, compared to the mountains of code left in the genes of human beings in the rough evolution of the past long years, it does very little, and it only makes people completely free from the target of the new plague. From now on, the virus will never be able to harm the individual again, and even if a new plague virus reappears, it will be meaningless. The tank brain complained on the side.

"If before the war, this kind of work would have been strangled in the cradle, because the scientific ethics committee would have decided that it was polluting the human gene pool and even destroying the genetic purity of human beings." Diana agreed, but she also said she understood.

"You're right, but it doesn't make sense anymore, and if you compare the genes of the survivors in the wasteland out there to those of pre-war humans, you'd be surprised at how much difference there has been. I don't think that for those who are extremely genetic, they may not even agree that humans in the broad sense of the word are still human. ”
