"Really?" Andy was amazed, this time really from the bottom of his heart, the cause of President Tanti's death had been officially sealed by the NcR, and she died of natural illness at the age of one hundred and three, and there was no other problem.

"Fake, if it weren't for my own experience, I would have said the same, the news of President Tanti's assassination is all rumors, but unfortunately, it's not fake." Andy digested the news for a moment, and he was now curious about what Dr. Angela had seen.

"Can you tell me what happened?" Dr. Angela stood up from the stone and after a moment of deliberation told a dark story.

"Actually, it's very simple, President Tandi has been living in the intensive care unit, she's so old, it's good to have three or four hours a day to stay awake. But even so, according to the long-term medical reports of a number of special doctors, including myself, it is predicted that President Tandi will live to be at least 150 years old as long as the life-support device is kept functioning normally, and her health is quite good, and the cutting-edge medical technology of NcR is not comparable to that of her early years. ”

"But there are people who can't have the patience to wait 40 years anymore, and they need President Tandi to die immediately." Dr. Angela paused, gritting her teeth slightly.

"Those damned businessmen and monopolists, who have been delusional about overturning President Tanti's economic restriction bill, who want to take all the wealth and power into their own hands and ignore the lives and deaths of the people of the NcR. There is no clean person in the entire NcR Congress, and there is a force behind every member of parliament who secretly supports them, and they have become puppets who are unconditionally subject to the manipulation of the financiers behind them, but even so, as long as President Tandi does not die, no one has the courage to subvert everything. ”

"That day, there was a sudden problem with the life support equipment, no one knew what was going on, the devices were managed by a supercomputer, all the emergency measures were in place, and there was even the Prest guy involved in regular maintenance..... But that didn't work, it all happened anyway, and the problem directly led to the wrong device causing damage to President Tanti's body. Andy touched his chin, thinking that there seemed to be some traces of conspiracy behind this matter, and that Prester was the most powerful scientist in NcR, and even he didn't expect this, and he couldn't imagine the possibility of deliberate external forces secretly sabotaging.

"So, President Tanti—" Dr. Angela waved his hand.

"No, no, no, what are you thinking, do you think that a group of us doctors will just stand aside and shout nonsense? We immediately cut off the life support device from President Tandi and gave her first aid manually, and soon after President Tanti's vital signs returned to a stable state, and she even thanked us when she woke up. ”

"But her body is still too fragile and she still needs a life support device, and the previous one can't be used until the problem is found out, so we have to urgently send President Tandi to another hospital in Sham State." Dr. Angela covered her head and sighed, still regretting the events of that day.

"President Tandi had already used another life support unit there, and everything was fine, and we all thought it was over, but the next day President Tandi died."

"Huh?!" Andy wondered if the turn was a bit too sudden.

"Why? Doesn't that mean everything is fine? Dr. Angela's face was full of grief.

"All the monitoring equipment was inexplicably broken, the stored detection data was also wiped out, President Tanti's body was quickly cremated, and we even just got the news at that time, and in the blink of an eye, President Tanti, who was fine yesterday, has become a handful of ashes.... No one can accept this result, and we want to ask why. ”

"I and the others rushed to the hospital to look for clues, and despite all the obstacles, we finally found a witness, a newly recruited nurse on duty, who said that during the night several people dressed as doctors entered President Tanti's hospital room, but none of us knew about it. However, before we could continue to track down who those people were, our only witness quickly changed her story, claiming that all she had said before was that she had mistaken her dreams for reality, and then this person disappeared from the world and could never be found again. ”

"We couldn't find anything, all traces were wiped clean overnight, and President Tandi's death was quickly determined to be due to illness, which was an insult to us doctors, but all the media were unanimous. We all clearly felt a terrible force trying to put this on the line, and some of the people like me who tried to continue the search for the truth were soon warned or even had an accident, and then I realized that if I didn't leave NcR quickly, I was afraid that I would soon die mysteriously too. Tay hugged his wife and comforted her, then looked up and said something he knew.

"I decided to leave the NcR with Angela after I found out about this, in fact I was very disappointed in the NcR for a long time, the last thing I investigated before leaving the Ranger unit was about General Kohezinji, the head of the NcR military who had devoted most of his energy to the Eastern District since the beginning of the eastward movement, and there were some reports that his whereabouts were strange and his intentions were unknown, so I took this opportunity to take Angela all the way to the east, and finally we chose this place as a shelter." Andy nodded that he understood why the two were here, and took the opportunity to know how dark NcR's politics really were, but he was very interested in the Kollezinji general that Tai mentioned, and he thought about it, he seemed to have heard the name of this big man before.

"Can you tell me anything you know about General Kolzenji?" Tai thought for a moment and said a few words.

"General Kolezinji must be carrying out some terrible plan, and no one can find him.... He also replaced some of his own soldiers, and the backgrounds of the new joiners were very suspicious, and apart from those people, he left almost all the soldiers who were madly loyal to him. Andy: Yes

The word "suspicious background" feels a bit sensitive.

"Can you elaborate on that? Why is the background suspicious? Tai let go of Angela, who had regained her composure, and then uttered a word.

"Eagle Rock incident, have you heard of it?" After seeing Andy shake his head, Ty frowned as if he didn't want to go into details.

"Anyway... A terrible mistake leads to a catastrophe, and after that time the participants all become full of opinions about NcR, Pierce, Briggs, these people who follow him, or like Davidson's stupid fool, whose world is the only one who matters. After seeing that the couple had lost interest in continuing to talk, Andy took Alexandra to continue wandering around the small camp formed by the group of Post-Saints who were also survivors of New Canaan.

Andy noticed the big blue-skinned man again, the robe resembling a small cloak to him, and he was rudely chopping a piece of wood into small pieces.

"Hello John, are you free?" Before Andy could go over to say hello, several Post-Saint Followers came to the super mutant.

"What? Don't get so close to me, and don't look at me. The blue-skinned super mutant known as John responded a little irritably to the friendly greeting from the person in front of him.

"Hate.... Strange sounds, why is there always the barking of a two-headed cow..."He muttered this, but the post-Saint believers did not care about his unfriendly attitude, but respectfully asked some inexplicable questions.

"Oh, sorry to bother you, we just... We just wanted to ask if you heard or saw something unusual or sound again? This may be important, do you understand that this is similar to Rigdon Prophet, it is some kind of revelation from the Father. John's thick blue cheek twitched a few times, and he tossed the rest of the wood aside.

"I said, don't get so close to me, and don't- look at me, don't stare at me!!" The few post-congregationals were so frightened that they turned around and ran.

John seemed to regain his composure after shouting, and he crouched down on the ground again and chopped wood with an axe that was too small for him.

Seeing this, Andy asked Alexandra not to go over first, and he went over alone to talk to the super mutant.

John put down the axe and wood in his hand and looked up when he sensed Andy's arrival, his huge hairless and muscular face was really shocking, not to mention that his skin was a terrible blue.

"Ahh You, what's the matter with you? Whatever it is, take your eyes off me! Andy shifted his perspective from John to the sand on the ground, and after a short while, John gradually regained his composure.

"Uh, is it convenient to talk? I hear them call you John? The blue-skinned super mutant picked up the wood and continued chopping, becoming a little more talkative after no longer being watched.

"Aha, if you think it makes sense, then whatever you want. Yes, my name is John, and, yes, I'm a super mutant, I was created by the Great Bishop, and He is by no means what I can describe or understand by your simple brain, and I am not in the slightest interest in any sacred scriptures, and if you can, stay away from me, I'm not comfortable right now. Andy was still curious about his strangely colored skin, so he continued to lean next to the behemoth and talk.

"I've seen some super mutants, like Blackjack, Beatrice, and Jimmy, do you know them?" John slashed at a piece of wood with his axe, but the axe got stuck inside, and he simply reached out and easily broke the arm-thick branch into two pieces, and threw it into the pyre beside him.

"I don't have any impression, I had too many brothers in the unification at the beginning, and many of them were as stupid as brutes, and they didn't deserve my name at all, and those super mutants you said shouldn't belong to the Nightcrawlers, right?" Andy thought for a moment

What does "Nightkin mean".

"The Nightkin you said.... Is that the super mutant of the same skin color as you? You're the first blue-skinned super mutant I've ever seen. John tossed aside his scrapped axe, and then put the shoddy one on his foot

The "shoes" are pulled off and poured clean of the sand.

"You can also say that, do you want to ask why only our skin is blue? Quite simply, as the most elite unit in the Unification, we Nightkin are equipped with the best equipment, including the Stealth Kids. We are the Bishop's right and left men, His most loyal servants, and the most powerful group of super mutants, and we have been trained to fight without the other super mutants knowing anything, and we can use the Invisible Boy to silently kill an entire group of enemies. ”

"But I think it's also because of the Stealth Kid that our skin tones started to change gradually, and eventually we all turned blue." Andy glanced at John's body, and although his muscles were still far superior to those of ordinary humans, John was significantly smaller than the super mutants he had seen before.

"Are you sure so? But I don't think you're as strong as those normal super mutants. John glared at Andy angrily.

"What kind of doctor are you? Okay, maybe I'm not as strong as those stupid brothers right now, but at my peak I could have killed you little shrimp with just two fingers.... I don't know why, all Nightcrawlers are immune to this change, perhaps... Maybe it's because of the Stealth Kid, which gives us the ability to become invisible, but at the same time keeps taking away more things. At this, he suddenly thought of something, and his tone softened again.

"If you're really a doctor, can you help me see that I've had some problems lately."

"Okay, but why don't you go to Dr. Angela?" John shook his head.

"I tried, and Dr. Angela said she couldn't see anything wrong with me, she said she was a surgeon and didn't understand how to treat the disease in the head.... You know what? Andy froze for a moment and told John that he had a friend, and he brought Alexandra with him.

"Tell me, what's going on? What's uncomfortable? Alexandra's eyes swept over John, who looked uncomfortable but barely endured.

"I.... I just feel like there's always a strange cry around me, and it can come at any time, sometimes at night, sometimes during the day. Occasionally, the sound of a two-headed cow would become very clear, and it would no longer be like the sound of a two-headed cow, and it would talk to me by something I didn't know what to call it, and then I would see some strange images. Alexandra nodded nonchalantly.

"And after that? What do you see? John scratched his head, which was not half hairy, and his tone was full of uncanny emotion.

"Oh.... I saw a lot of things falling from the sky, and then huge mushrooms grew out of the ground, big, big... There was also a terrible fire coming out of the ground somewhere, burning the people there and deforming, but they were not dead, they were still moving. One of the strangest things is that when I was sleeping last night, a voice told me that something interesting had happened here, and then I saw a lot of unclothed humans living underground. The two of them were confused when they heard the story.

Alexandra uttered a speculation.

"You're mentally ill, maybe schizophrenia, and that voice is another personality in your head, and the rest of the picture is just your hallucination." John listened carefully to Alexandra's words, and he took out an invisible boy and looked at it for a while.

Andy remembered the precautions he had heard Hull talk about earlier, and thought of John.

"I'm guessing you're using too much stealth kid, and that thing seems to have an effect on the brain." John didn't object to this speculation, and I'm afraid he had already noticed it after years of use, but he didn't say anything else, let alone that he would stop using the Stealth Kid in the future.

"Is there any cure or temporary relief?" Alexandra handed out a box of cigarettes.
