"Dog City.... I guess you're talking about that huge Old World city ruins in the north, right? That terrible place covered in red dust with herds of wild dogs, yes, I know there, and I have been there. I'm impressed there because I... There were a lot of things that happened there, and I met a lot of different people and a lot of extraordinary pre-war facilities. ”

Andy responded to the question of measles while recalling the intersection with the NcR salvage workers in Denver, Dog City, there must be a lot of things hidden in that ruined city that he didn't have a chance to get to the bottom of, but he didn't have the slightest desire to do so, after all, he had caused several earth-shattering explosions in Dog City, and had fought a strange enemy in the moonlight on the ruins, just to get his head, these experiences that ordinary people couldn't imagine were enough for Andy.

Measles nodded repeatedly, as if confirming something, this change in expression did not escape Andy's gaze, Measles as a high-level of the reservation must have asked himself these questions for a purpose, now it seems that the reservation lacks a full understanding of external human forces because of its long-term rejection of human beings, and only knows the names of large settlements such as Hoover Dam and New Canaan that are important in the Great Southwest Federal Region from the mouths of those businessmen, as for other in-depth situations, little is known.

And after asking about Hoover Dam and New Canaan, why did measles ask about Dog City alone?

"You really didn't disappoint me, Andy, it sounds like you've traveled to a lot of places, it's not a simple thing, in the wasteland, traveling is something that only the lucky and the lucky have the courage to do, even if those merchants have to run around for a living, they just hire a sufficient number of armed guards, and move back and forth on fixed trade routes all year round, it's very rare like you."

Once again, Measles did not hesitate to say these praises, and Andy humbly responded while pondering the question just now.

The purple-skinned ghoul in front of him is certainly not a fool, he does want to get information from himself, but he will not fail to think of a possibility, that is, he can be deceived by making things up, and in order to avoid this possibility, he needs a "seal", Dog City seems to be the "seal" he relies on, in other words, Measles may have already had a certain degree of understanding of Dog City, and asking about Dog City can verify whether the source of information he likes is real or a liar.

The pre-war city of Denver is located in the Colorara area, adjacent to the new mS area to the south, and the local population, settlements, and trade are currently almost entirely controlled by the NcR of the Hoover Dam, and the railroad is directly connected from the train station outside the city of Hoover Dam to the abandoned fort and then to the northeast to the pre-war Denver City train station, on which the train runs regularly to bring supplies from the city of Hoover Dam to the city of Dogtown, and transported all kinds of pre-war junk materials recovered by the Dog City salvage workers to Hoover Dam City.

Due to the peculiarities of the salvage's status and the extremely harsh environment, outsiders are still rare in Dog City, except for some slave traders who will use drugs that can expel wild dogs according to their long-term experience to walk east from the edge of Dog City and rest in temporary bases along the way, because the opportunities and risks are completely unequal.

So the question is, how does measles know what is going on there?

Andy pondered, and suddenly an idea struck.

The reservation is a special settlement where the main race is ghouls, and there are no normal members except slaves, and because of the appeal of the religious group of the Children of the Wasteland, many ghouls come here, even if they have not yet arrived at the reservation, they have already established a pure belief in the "Messiah" named William Clark in their hearts, so that the ghouls in the Midwest Federal Region may have some inextricable connection with the reservation, although this is only a possibility, but it is not nonsense.

Andy suddenly felt a chill down his spine when he thought of the ghouls he had encountered along the way, the mysterious Sito of the treasure hunter team that explored the underground ruins, the experienced Harold in the nursery who was crucial to the victory over the new plague, his companion Milolo who met when he took the Crimson Caravan merchant mission in Hoover Dam City, and Otto, who served the Hoover Dam after being rescued by the Dodge Mayor.....

How many of these people have lived on reservations or... People who are still on the reservation today?

Is Otto's obscure eastern settlement a reservation? Does the water pollution at Hoover Dam have anything to do with him as the anti-ghoul extremists say? Why did Milolo know so much about the reservation's original endless banishment punishment? Where did he come from? Are Harold's endless stories of the past real? Could his strange state actually have something to do with the human experiments circulating on the reservation? Was there someone behind Sito pushing him to do those things? Is there a possibility that...

Andy pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a little stunned, and didn't know what to think, measles just asked a random question and brainstormed to such an extent, and even had unwarranted suspicions about all the ghouls he had encountered in the past, probably because he had always had a strange feeling about measles in his heart, this ghoul... I always feel that he is very awkward, whether it is doing things or speaking, there is a slight anomaly that is slightly different from the outside, this abnormality cannot be ignored by himself, and the more he is like this, the more he thinks about it.

Measles is still full of explanations and praises for the idea of the upper echelons of the reservation, claiming that the reservation is friendly to the human forces outside, hoping to establish friendly trade relations with them in the years to come, and at the same time, it will also allow the development of the reservation to go further, so that the weapons and armor produced in the reservation can be sold to more areas, and more people can be protected from the dangers of the wasteland, and so on.....

It all sounds reasonable, no matter how bad the attitude of the ghouls towards humanity is, for the upper echelons of the reservation, they should see a higher and broader profit beyond racial contradictions, after all, there is no reason to directly cut off the possibility of further development of foreign trade in the reservation out of disgust and contempt for what they call "slippery", the wasteland is so big, who can refuse a bottle cap.

Andy couldn't listen to the specific words that Measles said now, because he felt like he was missing an important person in a trance.

If he could remember this person, this key, he thought he might be able to think something clearly.

"Ahem....!"

Measles coughed.

"What's wrong Andy? It's a little distracted, we've only been talking for a few minutes, have you lost your patience? I can also understand that you are first aiding your own car, but as I said, being anxious is not helpful in solving things, although we are talking on the surface, but what I can tell you is that this small talk is also a test, whether you are the kind of person my father needs, although the answer is basically certain, please don't be too serious, the rewards that our cooperation can bring you are absolutely rich, I have said this more than once, even then you can't concentrate? .... Or, are you taking too many medicines? ”

As soon as he said this, Andy quickly glanced at the beep-beep boy, convinced that the effect of the berry-flavored Mtat had long since dissipated, and the status bar did not show that he was addicted, the intelligence-boosting effect brought by the drug called Mtat was really very powerful, so powerful that Andy even thought that its effect had actually had some deep, permanent, and subtle effects on his brain in addition to the effect that had dissipated on the bright side marked by the beep-beep boy, was this an illusion.....

"Oh, I'm sorry, I did ask Hank for something refreshing to learn from those scavengers, sizzle... The impact was more lasting than I thought..."

Measles smiled understandingly, but there was a slight disdain in Andy's eyes as he wiped his face.

"Well, I'm sorry I can't put myself in your shoes, after all, the impact of those chemicals on us has to be discounted, and many categories only feel like eating a few jelly beans or taking a shot of saline after using them, but you may be different.... Cheer up, we're just starting what we're going to say. ”

At this time, Andy fell into deep thought again, why couldn't he remember the key ghoul he had forgotten for a while?

Measles continued to nag on its own, and after a few words of outlook on the future of trade, the conversation suddenly changed.

"Have you ever heard of a huge pre-war facility in the northern part of Dog City? It looked like a white dome embedded in the top of a mountain, and the two of them were closer than the distance between Dogtown and us. ”

Andy looked up, doesn't this description of measles refer to the Great Dome? According to the research of NcR scientists, its earliest design concept was an idea of preliminary interstellar colonization of alien planets in the future, that is, a life support base that can withstand extreme extraterrestrial weather and has a high degree of airtightness for a large number of interstellar colonists to maintain their survival for a long time, and then gradually transformed into a high-tech research base due to the continuous deterioration of the international situation. And finally after the completion of a mysterious military science and technology research base in the west called the Great Mountain Range, it was slowly abandoned, and it was no longer a place of great concern to the SA government, the military and the scientific research community, even though it had given birth to many advanced scientific and technological achievements that shocked the world.

It was there that Andy met a group of NcR scientists led by Dr. Goddard, the original leader of the team, Dr. Agnes, who was a good friend of Dr. Prester, and she brought a group of excellent NcR students all the way from the territory of NcR to the Great Dome in response to Dr. Prester's original preaching and solicitation, but Dr. Goddard's sideways behavior disrupted everything, or fortunately, he suddenly came to join the crowd in order to "crush the evil plot of the Prester bastard", Some of Dr. Prester's plans didn't go exactly according to his plan, and some of his schemes were exposed, such as deliberately causing a lab accident to cause the original strain of the new plague to leak and sending all the NcR students and scientists who came to the Dome to him into a freezer for some unknown purpose.

The most important thing for Andy is that he met there... String.

It's a long time, these things flashback in the brain is just a moment, and I don't know if I have completed the overall physical adjustment that Diana made for her, the original strain of the new plague is too destructive to the human body, according to Diana, it is a blessing to delay the disease in the Great Dome for so long after the infection, just losing her fertility and not losing her life, if she comes to the nursery for a while later, she will die due to irreversible multi-organ failure.

Maybe after sending Gillian back to Tibbetts Prison, I should go to the nursery to find her...

"Ahem——!!"

The other party coughed dissatisfiedly again, and Andy hurriedly spoke.

"Yes, I know, I've been there, and the environment is terrible over there, probably because of some nuclear crater in the east, where a lot of glowing ghouls are roaming, the radiant winds blowing from the east craters and the red sandstorm blowing from the dog town to the south, and a whole bunch of cannibals running from the west, that damn place is really in a triangle of death."

Measles listened to his answer and looked moved again, as if he had confirmed something again.

Andy looked at him and wondered a little, how little was known about the situation of thriving settlements like Hoover Dam and New Canaan, so why did they know about areas like Dog City and the Great Dome in the opposite direction? At least some of the slave traders who came to the Reservation for the slave trade may have informed them about the situation in Dog City, but the area of the Great Dome is purely Jedi, so why should the ghouls in the Reservation know that there is a "Big Egg" there? The slavers had no idea about the situation, as they only ventured into the southern and eastern parts of Dog City, and had a tense relationship with the NcR salvagers.

Who.... Told them about it ....

Andy's brow furrowed, and an ugly face wearing large goggles suddenly emerged from the bottom of his mind, along with his dirty, old and tattered bomber jacket that never seemed to be taken off, and the sleek radio antenna on the roof of the Dogtown Scavengers' high-rise camp.

"Wagner...."

Measles was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically as if he hadn't heard Andy's muttering in a low voice.

"What?"

Andy looked at the measles and suddenly figured out why the NcR salvages living in Dog City suddenly saw a ghoul from the south join them and help them fix the transmitter, why the scientists at the Great Dome always saw a mysterious ghoul peeping at the Great Dome with observation equipment on the surveillance cameras, all of which turned out to be the case.

"Wagner, that mechanic in a pilot's suit, he's your guy?"

Measles looked at Andy fixedly, as if he had refreshed his perception of him again, and a moment later, the ugly guy with purple skin and neck rash suddenly burst out laughing.
