"Is it possible to cure this infection?"

Andy looked at the bones, which were covered in erosion and burn marks, and it was hard to imagine what kind of torture the infected would endure in the final hours, even though it only took a few minutes to hear from Kosley.

"Nope."

Kosley also looked at the remains, reloading the shotgun in his hand.

"At least as far as I know, the onset of infection is too short-lived, and infected people become aggressive almost immediately, and trying to treat them or otherwise approach them can lead to a very high risk of infection, and some attempts have proven to be ineffective against reptilian infections..... Don't think about it, just shoot this kind of guy directly, the farther away from them, the better. ”

Andy notices Kosley's weapon.

"Is there still a place here where guns and ammunition can be made? Or is this something you got your hands on recently? ”

Cosley showed off his gun, which looked very advanced, with a rare industrial appearance, and some high-end accessories on the gun, which seemed to Andy to be laser rails and night vision scopes for aided aiming, which were not uncommon in the wasteland, and a large number of people in the eastern region only had spears and broadswords in their hands.

"Pretty good, right, although I don't think the weapon you brought is bad at all, but I prefer the violent long guy, of course this weapon can't be made in such a hellish place, but.... Someone will come in with these weapons, and it may be dangerous to get into a fight with them, but no one can stop me from looting the body, can it? ”

He showed the butt of the gun to Andy, who saw that the butt was branded with a LoGo, which was not even a pattern, but just an artistic processing of a word, to put it bluntly, by enlarging the initials and covering the other letters.

Andy looked at it for a while, but couldn't find the meaning of the word in his mental vocabulary.

"What do you mean? I don't recognize the word. ”

Kosley grabbed at his knitted hat.

"You're not a good kid who is willing to listen to your parents and study hard at school, right? Well, at least I've asked others this question too, ahem... You listen, the word means 'asynchronous', it's not just a word, it's a group behind it, we think it's a big family, very strong, with a fancy background... Big business. Some smart people have told me that this word has some other profound meaning in the field of mathematics and electronic communication, not just as it literally means as synonyms, but I don't understand it, and I'm sure even if I could repeat it word for word, you wouldn't understand it either. ”

Andy was stunned for a moment, and between the lines of Cosley's words, he felt the same sense of detachment as he had spoken to Martin before, so he thought that this time he couldn't be rashly exposed, maybe he had to do a side-tapping test.

"Well, Kosley, you said that Asynchronous is a large enterprise with an unknown background... So for their background, what do you think... Isn't it possible to work with SA..."

Andy said in a hurry, looking at Coslie's expression as he spoke, but the other party did not show any abnormality, but took over directly because he was anxious about his speed of speech.

"Okay, okay, we're in a hellish place that could put our lives on the line at any time, what are you worried about? Is xbI knocking on your door to play? Why don't I tell you straight, this asynchronous company or asynchronous organization, or some other possible name, in short, these guys, they must have all kinds of inexplicable connections with the SA government, maybe they are a bunch of mongrels who are embarrassed, and behind their strange behaviors are some unspeakable black secrets. ”

Speaking of which, Kosley suddenly made a joke.

"You're not going to be some xbI agent who came here on a secret mission with a hidden identity, are you? Ha - don't do that, I don't think xbI will at least hire a semi-literate person like me, I used to be a bit of a conspiracy theorist, and frankly who didn't? Let's all agree on one conclusion, right, that is, the SA government is a shitty bastard, they are either secretly doing bastard things or secretly planning what more outrageous bastards they are going to do next. ”

Andy listened silently, although he still couldn't understand many things, but he could already be sure that the world that Cosley and Martin knew before they came here may not be the same as himself, or at least not the same timeline, in their opinion, the SA government is probably a ruling entity of the political, economic and military trinity that exists definitely and has strong interference capabilities, and in Andy's opinion, the word SA can only make him think of the relics of ancient civilizations. Either the results of astonishingly advanced or terrifying experiments and the anti-human armed groups that claim to be their successors, it is certain that there is a world of difference between the two.

"Yes... I also feel that the SA government is like that. ”

Andy said this, and felt that he was right, even if the SA that the two said may only be exactly the same in name, but just from his understanding, the pre-war SA government that made biological weapons, created a new plague, made FEV, caused a large number of casualties in Denver and other places, and caused the outbreak of a great war and led to the destruction of the world, it may be a compliment to describe it as a dog-day bastard.

Cowsley pointed to the pattern on the butt of the rifle and continued to tell Andy some important information.

"This gun is what I picked up from the corpse of one of them, and their features are very obvious, they are not ordinary clothes like you and me, on the contrary, they are almost armed to the teeth. The men were uniformly dressed in a bright yellow heavy hazmat suit, which was wrapped all over their bodies, and the back of the suit was even equipped with a large device, presumably some kind of high-grade air filter. ”

"We nicknamed them Little Yellow."

Andy feels that this nickname is really catchy....

"Well, so, is it possible for me to run into them? What if you meet them? ”

Cosley glanced at the color of the wall and motioned for Andy to keep going.

"No one can say where they will pop up and what the purpose of their actions will be, sometimes we may suddenly bump into their camp, then it is obvious that they will occupy a more stable area to renovate and build their own fortifications and research facilities, do not rush over, and do not think that they will take you out or help you, in their eyes you are no different from those wandering monsters, Their automated firing devices won't show mercy on you for looking like a normal person. ”

When Andy heard this, he suddenly noticed one thing, since this organization can bring a large number of external items here, it means that they have some kind of technology to stably ensure the flow of people and materials between here and the outside world, in other words, what may be hidden in Xiao Huang's body is the hope of leaving here, although.... The SA you go to after leaving here isn't necessarily the one you want to go back to.

"What if, I mean if, if I attack them?"

Koslie glanced at Andy in surprise, and after a moment showed a little admiration.

"As someone struggling to survive in this hellish place, I also agree that we should abandon all the worldly morality and legal concepts we used to have, but you, as a person who just came in here, have already started to think so, haha, okay."

"If you want to do that, I won't stop you, and I won't say anything about you just because you killed a few little yellows, most people here are like that, and we don't care if the guys who don't want to help us in the slightest and sometimes attack us directly are dead or alive. But what we care about is that they often have very powerful weapons in their hands, and if you show hostility, they will shoot at them, this is no joke, we may be able to outrun those monsters, but how can people outrun bullets? ”

"It's dangerous to even touch their bodies, these guys have positioning devices on them, they will look for the bodies of the deceased to recover, and if they encounter them, of course they will start a fight... In addition, who knows how he died, the risk of looting the body is also very high. ”

Andy touched his chin, thinking in his heart that if he met Xiao Huang in the future, he would give them a little color, at least to know how they brought those outside materials in, no matter whether the outside was familiar with the world or not, no matter how much it was better than here.

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

Walking aimlessly for two hours, Cosley led the way, intermittently talking to others on the radio, and the chaotic environment seemed to Andy to have some kind of fixed pattern that he could use to determine his position and the direction of his next move with the help of others.

"I'll try to take you to our little camp."

Kosley put down the walkie-talkie and said.

"Whew.... Don't be afraid, there are some things I didn't tell you at first, I hope you understand, I'm from an organization, and I've told you this, but what I didn't tell you is its name. I'm a member of my organization, which is called mEG, and I'm a 'Explorer', and in our terms, I'm an 'explorer', and people like you who fall into this place like we like to call wanderers. Don't think this title is a bit offensive, from the objective facts, the lone and unorganized people are indeed wandering here. ”

The two trotted, and Andy didn't understand why Cosley suddenly started moving fast without saying a word, but then he noticed that the walls around him were obviously gradually turning green, which meant that the environment was becoming dangerous.

"Is your place a safe zone?"

Andy ran with ease, and with his strong endurance and Hull's blessing, the physical exertion during the long run was low.

Cosley didn't have time to pay attention to Andy's easy run, he was trying to find his way and was ready to communicate on the radio.

"Yes, we've found more than one stable area in our long-term exploration, where the color of the walls doesn't easily turn green, and monsters rarely infest. In the event of an accident, we also have a few alternate locations to choose from, where you can meet other companions and get well rested if we make it to the occasion. ”

A snapping sound came from a long distance behind him, Andy turned his head to look, and saw that the incandescent lights were extinguishing one by one from far and near, and the darkness was gradually approaching like a beast tracking the two.

A voice came from the back of the neck.

"There are enemies~"

"Don't look back! Run! ”

Cosley ran wildly, and the two of them turned around all the way, and finally entered a yellowish area.

Andy, who was half-squatting and gasping, saw that Coslie was already lying on the ground and couldn't move, he was really playing with his life when he ran just now, Andy was going to drag him to continue running when he couldn't run, but he didn't expect him to really run all the way down.

Walking over to help him up and leaning him against the wall, Coslie barely took out a bottle of almond water and took a sip before handing it to Andy.

Andy looked at the vicissitudes of looking thermos in his hand, and then noticed the shotgun that Cosley was carrying.

Turning to look behind him, it seemed that everything had returned to calm.

"What was that?"

Cosley gasped and replied with difficulty.

"No... I don't know, huh..... Confirm..... Call..... Sometimes.... Ha.... It doesn't make sense. ”

He looked up.

"Whew... Drink it, one sip is enough .... And then... Cup.... Give me back..."

Andy was holding the cup, but at this moment, looking at Coslie in front of him, for some reason a wave of emotion surged in his heart.

"Why should you give it back to him for such a good thing? If you keep it for yourself, you won't have to worry about eating and drinking for weeks, and the gun, if he suddenly fires at me, it will be very dangerous. ”

The voice flashed, Andy felt that the voice in his heart was not under his control at all, just like answering questions such as whether others had eaten or not, and the anger suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart, his left hand that was not holding the cup suddenly clenched, and the idea of killing him directly and taking away everything from him while Cowsley's physical strength was exhausted flashed in front of his eyes, and a series of plans emerged like flowing water, and he only needed one punch to make Cowsley sitting on the ground unable to die anymore, No one will know why he died here, almond water, shotguns, all the precious supplies in that backpack....

He was silent for a few seconds, and finally suppressed these distractions, and raised his head to take a sip of water.

As Coslie had said before, the almond water tasted slightly sweet with an almond flavor, and it was very lukewarm, without any unpalatable taste, and as Martin said, it was only a sip because the thirst and hunger from the constant running had subsided.

Pip-boy pops up a prompt.

Andy was taken aback, why did this so-called "sanity value" drop so quickly? Could it be that this has something to do with his sudden uncontrollable emotions just now?

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and the two hurriedly drew their weapons and looked over, only to see several people wearing bloated yellow heavy hazmat suits passing by not far away, some of them carrying different styles of weapons in their hands, others carrying equipment of unknown shape and purpose.
