Yorkson held a Gauss rifle and fired a shot in the back, the cold blue electric light flickered, accompanied by the unique sound of the Gauss rifle, the 2mm metal projectile with a strong kinetic energy rushed the rushing steel ring soldiers directly to the other side, the middle of the person was crushed on the spot, even if it was only affected by the aftermath, it would immediately fall to the ground and not bleed, the power of this weapon is so terrifying, it perfectly combines the advantages of live ammunition weapons and energy weapons.

"What's wrong Andy, did you unlock the terminal? What the hell are these rebels doing underground..."

Yorkson's voice paused.

Andy, who was standing in front of the terminal, clenched his fists at this moment, because of the excessive tension of his muscles, the blood vessels in his whole body bulged.

"They...."

He wanted to speak and stopped, his teeth clenched together.

"How dare they...."

The emotions churning in Andy's chest could no longer be contained, and he raised his fist and smashed the terminal in front of him with a single punch, but even so, it still couldn't calm the monstrous anger in his heart.

"They must be found, someone has left with something that shouldn't be in this world, Yorkson, we must catch them no matter what it takes!"

Yorkson looked at the terminal that had been smashed by a punch and froze for a moment, he blinked, although he didn't understand for a moment what Andy saw to be so angry, but combined with the contents of the glass container over there, he could guess everything.

"You're trying to say that the Ring of Steel is secretly developing biological weapons?"

Andy turned his head suddenly, the hideousness on his face was incomprehensible to Yorkson.

"It's worse than that."

Several of the Ring of Steel soldiers rushed over again, and Yorkson hurriedly raised his gun to shoot, only to realize that he had just forgotten to reload.

But when Yorkson, who hurriedly lowered his head and reloaded, raised his head again because of a few loud noises, he only saw that those people had turned into tattered corpses, their eyes were wide and they fell to the ground, almost half of their bodies were violently blasted, and blood flowed out of those huge holes with broken bones and broken organs.

Seeing Andy standing in place covered in blood, Yorkson was so frightened that he almost didn't hold the gun, he just lowered his head and loaded two bullets.

Without saying anything about how many people he had killed with a pair of fists in an instant, Andy turned around and ran deeper into the hallway, so fast that Yorkson felt like a gust of wind, forcing him to run after him.

..........................

Andy clenched his fists and strode forward in the corridor of the underground bunker with all his might, the scribes of the Ring of Steel here and some of the entourage were obviously planning to leave, although the other side of the mountain to the north was full of NcR soldiers who were waiting for them, but they generally held stealth boys, which were not something that ordinary people could see through once activated, and it was very likely that they would have a chance to escape from here.

To tell the truth, from the beginning of his involvement in the matter between NcR and the Brotherhood of Steel, Andy couldn't raise any spirit, the new plague has been found in the main settlements of this land, before the virus has a chance to poison human society, Andy and a group of like-minded partners together turned into a breakwater that blocks all mankind, successfully stopped the attack of the virus, and with the help of Diana and Harold, it finally ushered in the dawn of humanity's victory over the new plague, although this hope came so late, But it's here anyway.

He thought his next task was to reconcile the situation in the main settlements and spread the ingredients of the Fruit of Hope to the southeast to find the last fugitive from Tibbetts Prison, collect the reward promised by Odysseus, and finally settle the score with the culprit, Dr. Prester.

But it's not that simple at all.

The Ring of Steel research records that he had just hastily seen in front of his eyes came to mind, and these people who had mastered the advanced scientific knowledge of the pre-war had also discovered the existence of the new plague virus, but they did not stop at the step of "discovery".

"Whew-"

Andy slowed down slightly and gasped, he had already run a long distance, and there was a faint sound coming from ahead.

There was a sudden strange fluctuation in the air, which did not escape Andy's eyes, he suddenly changed his position and dodged from the side, and a military dagger wrapped in the invisibility field slashed past where he was before, if he didn't notice the slightest imperceptible abnormality, he would have been stabbed directly in the abdomen.

"Hull!"

With a low shout, Andy's figure disappeared into thin air, causing the Ring of Steel soldier to let out a soft sigh.

Yorkson came running with a heavy Gauss rifle and a suit of combat armor, and even though he was in good physical condition, he was out of breath for a while.

Then, he saw a sudden blue energy wave burst out not far ahead, and Yorkson thought it was some kind of trap set by the Ring of Steel, and was about to dodge to the side, but saw the light flash away.

A cloud of blood spilled on the ground, and a small square machine fell heavily on the ground and was damaged, and Yorkson then saw several stumps emerge before his eyes, shattered and charred.

Yorkson was taken aback, and after a closer look, he confirmed that this was not Andy, he glanced behind him, several lasers came to leave a smoking black mark on his shoulder armor, Yorkson hurriedly rolled to the side with a tactic, raised his Gauss rifle and fired a shot at the back, with a crisp sound of fire, the pursuers behind died down again.

............................

A gang of Ring of Steel members are running for their lives in underground tunnels.

Most of them were scribes, with only a few knights on their side, two of whom wore power armor, and in addition to their clothing and weapons, they kept them tightly guarded by several sealed metal canisters containing the fruits of their research.

The scribe named Sinki carried a metal suitcase containing a series of memories of research data.

They will follow the tunnel to the secret exit, and then scatter the samples in the upper waters of the Hoover Dam, which is the final instruction given to them by the Paladin Levin.

When the bunker was discovered and occupied by the Ring of Steel shortly before, they immediately took technical measures to obtain information that the natives had not understood for hundreds of years, such as the fact that it had existed as a secret biochemical laboratory for the SA Army before the war.

In the dusty ground there are thousands of laboratory animals that have been reduced to skeletons, as well as countless slices of diseased corpses, note that among these things are not only rodents, but also primates, especially some "higher primates" body components.

The terminal database stores a large number of virus sequence data models, and the corpse samples of patients who have died due to the new plague in the hospitals in the surrounding areas and the related clinical research data are sent here for highly confidential research, and the terrible thing is that the direction of their research is not how to completely cure the new plague and stop the new plague from spreading, but in turn, according to the various manifestations of the new plague that are currently raging in various cities of SA. Try to further enhance this kind of biological and chemical weapons, which are already artificially developed.

They hope to strike a better balance between transmissibility and lethality, and hope that the virus, named the "Deep Blue Flu", will quickly and naturally die out after achieving a large number of killing targets and completely destroying the social order of the enemy country, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of physical elimination of hostile forces at a very low cost.

Although the accidental leak of the new plague has had a serious impact on SA society across the country for several years, it seems that the SA military has also confirmed the effects of the virus and does not want to "waste" this rare opportunity for experimentation.

The transmissibility of the "deep blue flu" is comparable to that of the third generation of the new plague strain, and its reaction after illness is different from the well-known new plague, in addition to fever and high fever, this new variant of the virus can also directly affect the central nervous system of the organism and further affect the behavior of the organism, according to the design of the principal researcher, the infected person will die after a few months to a year or so after the infection, but during this period its physical fitness will be explosively improved, and the personality is full of aggression, It is extremely easy to carry out extremely violent behaviors because of the slightest mood swing, and when the disease reaches the terminal stage, it will irreversibly cause brain abnormalities in physiology, and completely become an incorrigible manic psychopath.

Unlike the new plague or "blue flu" virus, its transmission channel will not be limited to human-to-human transmission, and non-primates infected with the new plague virus usually die in a short period of time, which is difficult to constitute zoonotic, but the "deep blue flu" will be a potential transmission target for all mammals in the world.

As a direct result, the usual quarantine control measures will become completely unfeasible, and the health and security system will collapse in a very short period of time, and then the whole society will begin to fall apart from the inside-out top-down synchronization.

In the model calculation of the terminal, the enemy country that is set as the target of the launch may collapse after a maximum of 3 years, and the virus that has been set up in advance will naturally die and become extinct in about the same time, this plan is almost perfect from a military point of view, and its elimination of the national organization system is fundamental, and it is foreseeable that even after a few years of virus self-destruction, the area where it is dropped will not be able to easily establish a stable social order.

Sinki still remembers what was written on the secret letter that Paladin Levine left him.

"In the present circumstances, it is necessary to carry out unconventional measures, the enemy is outnumbered, and Fort Maxson is most likely to have entered into an alliance with the enemy, and a joint strangulation of me is foreseeable. Our death is as light as a feather, but if we continue to indulge NcR and continue to occupy the Hoover Dam, it will inevitably cause a catastrophe to the fate of the Lost Mountain and all mankind, and the vow to fight for Maxson until the last moment is still vivid, and even in the worst situation, we will still do what we should do. There was no need to hesitate before, taking advantage of the current situation of severing ties with the west, the opportunity could not be lost and not come again, even if the entire east was turned into a hellish scorched earth.... It's still a matter of course. If you read this letter, and know that I have given up on living and living with our faith, you will immediately find the bird from the emergency passage and leave this place, and be sure to fulfill my final command. ”

He clutched the silvery-white metal suitcase in his hand.

One of the people who followed behind suddenly fell to the ground silently, and his neck twisted in a full circle.

His companions noticed the situation for the first time and immediately shouted.

In the next second, his face turned into a pit.

"Enemy attack! Cover the Scribes of Sinki! ”

The two Knights of the Ring of Steel turned and fired indiscriminately, but the unseen foe was still nowhere to be seen.

A scribe of the Ring of Steel watched the person next to him being shot and killed, and in a panic, he grabbed the metal can in his hand and pressed the switch to turn it on, but his head was shattered by a fierce punch.

"Found him!"

A knight slammed into the position of the scribe's dead body, and the minigun in his hand "washed" Andy out of the air with a rain of bullets at a terrifying rate of fire.

"Injected with Ma Boil-X, treatment needles, please note that your injuries are serious, and you may choose to flee the battlefield as appropriate."

Hull's voice came from the back of his neck, but Andy didn't take it seriously at all, he looked at the few Rings of Steel scribes who were fleeing quickly behind the two knights, what they had in their hands....

Hercules Power Fist appeared in Andy's hand, and he roared, unreservedly and unscrupulously threw a punch with all his might in this closed underground environment.

"Yikes! ————”

The violent blue energy blast erupted forward, instantly sending the two knights in power armor into the air, and the underground corridor was also unbearable, and a serious collapse occurred directly, cracking and deforming the surrounding walls, and pieces of concrete fell from the sky. A few people who were already not far from the exit were first knocked to the ground by the energy impact, and then smashed into the ground by the debris of the building that fell from the sky.

...........................

The coalition forces that had breached the outer lines found the entrance to the bunker, and several Brotherhood of Steel knights wearing power armor with flamethrowers were pushing into the ground while breathing fire, and the defenders who had sporadically escaped to meet them were immediately charred by the flames.

Elder Blixley strode forward when suddenly, a violent vibration came from the side.

She suddenly stopped and looked over.

"What's going on over there?"

The surrounding soldiers looked at each other.

Just when everyone couldn't figure out what was going on, Elder Diesson's voice came from the front.

"Found Declavin and he's right here!"

Elder Blixley didn't have time to think about what was going on over there, she had to solve the most important problem first, and once the Paladin Levin, the leader of the Ring of Steel, was also killed, the battle would officially come to an end.

Walked into the room that had been controlled, this was originally the conference room of the Circle of Steel, the paladin Levine was wearing power armor with his back to the door standing silently, and the last two Knights of the Ring of Steel in power armor stubbornly guarded him with weapons, in the middle of the conference room was a metal statue, which looked like a fusion of a high-looking serious man and the Brotherhood of Steel logo, surrounded by the Brotherhood of Steel flag with dense prayers from the Codex.

"Surrender, and you will receive a fair trial."

Elder Blixley took off his power armor helmet and looked directly at the last bit of recalcitrant resistance, this battle was decided.

The Brotherhood of Steel soldiers stared at the few people in front of them, who had been close comrades-in-arms not long ago, but now they had become mortal enemies.

Paladin Levin, who had his back to everyone, sneered twice, he turned around, and at this moment, he was actually holding a mini-nuclear bomb in his hand, and one hand had already pressed on the red trigger device at the end of the mini-nuclear bomb.

"No one is worthy to judge me but the great Maxson."

Several gunshots rang out from different directions at the same time, and everyone saw that Paladin Levin's head disappeared in an instant, his power armor helmet shattered along with his head.

The mini-nuclear bomb that didn't have time to detonate fell to the ground, fortunately, instead of being head-down, it rolled a few times and then stopped motionless in the corner, and in the suffocating silent gaze of everyone, it did not instantly turn into a nuclear flame that swept everyone present.

Sass and the other Rangers laid down their weapons, and their accurate shots in an emergency were able to open the can at the last moment.

The two Knights of the Circle of Steel fired angrily, but they fell to the ground shortly after, with the shattered power armor that had been shot at them, reduced to two charred corpses.
