Andy and Gillian were running in the corridors of Tibbetts Prison, the red sirens were so dazzling, the sirens were so noisy, and in such a bad atmosphere, there was a strange male voice saying some dangerous riddles, even if Andy didn't know what was going to happen, he could guess that there must be no good thing, something to make decisions on behalf of others, etc....

"I... Wait a minute... I can't run. ”

Gillian couldn't keep up with Andy's strength and was short of breath due to excessive fright, gradually reducing his speed until he squatted on the ground with his abdomen covered.

There was no way, Andy had to signal her to climb on his back, and the two of them continued to move on.

"At this moment, all of you who are still in Tibbetts Prison, your death has become inevitable, and there is no point in trying to escape, and when this video is played, the nuclear bomb has already aimed at all nearby targets according to the simulated calculation of the range of the virus spread calculated by Odysseus using the activities of all the prisoners in Tibbetts Prison, no matter how fast you run."

Andy only felt a buzz in his head when he heard this, what? Nuclear bomb?

He kept running with the wind under his feet, and it would be stupid to stop just because of the strange video rhetoric.

"I'm guessing you've probably lost most of the big picture, and it's easy to guess, given that the damage to human society caused by nuclear war is permanent. But do not be discouraged, in the last moments of your life your death will provide security for the future of all mankind, knowing that there are thousands of your fellow citizens living in all corners of this continent, and their continuation is your continuation. ”

Andy took a sip, what is their continuation is my continuation, why didn't this pre-war bastard imagine that a vaccine for the new plague could be finally developed? Is he so pessimistic about the world after nuclear war? Listening to what he meant, all the settlements and places that Andy passed through when he went to arrest the prisoners have been listed as bombing targets, doesn't this mean that the entire Great Southwest Federal Region will be attacked? If that was the case, he wouldn't have had time to escape even if he had grown wings and started flying westward.

"And how honorable, Ladies and Gentlemen, that your sacrifice, if not remembered, has become part of the course of human history! I hereby declare that from now on, you are free! As a reward, you will receive the final solace. ”

As soon as the words fell, the surrounding cells were unlocked, and the doors of all the cells and the iron balls locked on the prisoners' ankles inside had been automatically unlocked, and the projectors in the cells were all turned on, projecting some kind of complex optical signal based on codE technology.

Some of the prisoners turned their faces away alertly, and then ran towards the door of the cell where the door had been opened, ignoring the voices from the loudspeakers; There are also people whose faces are full of complexity and do not react immediately, they watched the light gradually diverge their eyes, and then actually showed an extremely relaxed and happy smile on their faces, as if they saw heaven through this light, the corners of these people's mouths gradually flowed a little saliva, and they lost all their normal reactions, and sat in the cell with the door open motionless.

A swarm of prisoners scurried around Tibbetts Prison like headless flies, these people were not released by Odysseus with a potion, maybe because it was too late, maybe for some other reason, but now it looked like another Tibbetts escape, and it was certainly the last.

Andy glanced back, wondering if there were any of these people who he had arrested and brought back, maybe there were, maybe not, he had no way to care anymore.

The voice in the speaker continued to chatter, but his tone gradually became strange, as if he was reciting some symbolic prayer, and the emotion revealed in his tone was full of devotion.

"Then the LORD sent fire and brimstone from the LORD in heaven to Sodom and Gomorrah, and destroyed the cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of them, and all that grew up on the earth."

"Lot's wife looked back and became a pillar of salt."

"And Abraham arose early in the morning, and came to the place where he had been before the LORD, and looked at Sodom and Gomorrah, and all the plain, and behold, the smoke rose up in that place like a burning furnace..."

Several prisoners saw Andy running in one direction with Gillian on his back, and because they saw that the clothes on his body were not prison uniforms, they immediately chased after him.

A prisoner with a scar on his face shouted at him, Andy didn't care about what he said at all, he just wanted to run out of here quickly, this attitude made the prisoner extremely dissatisfied, he screamed, picked up a dinner plate on the ground and threw it at Andy, of course the paper plate did not hit Andy, it just fell softly, so in Andy's fast running, the people behind him were gradually thrown away.

Running out of the main building of the prison, past the large hole in the wall that had been blown out, there seemed to be no change on the outside, and Andy continued to carry Gillian on his back until he reached the place where the Atomic Humvee was docked, panting.

He told Gillian to hurry up and get in the car, and the two then drove the atomic Humvee towards the south, at this moment, the beep-boy suddenly vibrate, and Odysseus's face jumped out after the screen went black, but at the moment there was something indescribably wrong with its avatar expression.

"You look scared, Andy."

The sweat on Andy's head even trickled down his eyes, making it difficult for him to see ahead, but because of his concern, he could only step on the gas pedal and scold Odysseus in the beep-boy.

"You fuck, you lied to me! So what did I trigger when I sent all the prisoners back? What the hell is going on with all this? ”

Odysseus actually laughed, and Andy rubbed his eyes, almost thinking that he had seen it wrong.

"This is revenge for your slow action, you have seen the mastermind behind all the settings, it is the person in that video, Derek Greenway, my creator, who calculated that the third major outbreak caused by the mutation of the new plague strain will occur around the city of Denver, where there are first large numbers of infections, so he has set up some automated prisons centered on the city of Denver, the purpose of these prisons is not to physically isolate the infected, their mission is to completely eradicate the new plague after nuclear war, In a way that exterminates all infected people. ”

"All of this was supported by the SA Environmental Protection Agency, but the Environmental Protection Agency thought that Derek Greenway was too simple, and without their knowledge, Derek Greenway hacked into some national defense security networks and learned about some top-secret defense projects, and used this as the final guarantee for this whole new plague extermination plan, once it is confirmed that all prisoners have been contained, the final process will be started immediately."

Andy gritted his teeth and glanced at Gillian, hell, something really happened, these pre-war people were a bunch of crazy people, every single one of them.

"You're telling me what the hell is the final procedure?"

Odysseus didn't know what was crazy, and the smile on his face could barely be stopped.

"The so-called final procedure is that under the premise of the most dangerous situation of an accidental containment failure in Tibbetts Prison, after confirming that the containment of all prisoners has been completed again and that there has been an irreversible and large-scale spread of the virus, a directive will be automatically launched from Tibbetts Prison, and the destination of this instruction will be space. Then, the nuclear bomb will fall from the sky, completely destroying everything and never causing trouble. ”

Andy stepped on the brakes and looked at Odysseus in disbelief, he stuck his head out of the car window and looked at the sky, nothing... A nuclear bomb in the sky? Is that what you mean....

"You're saying Derek Greenway knows how to control the .m.b space station? How can it be? As far as I know, doesn't the official launch of that thing require astronauts to go up and manually operate it? ”

"You're underestimating Derek Greenway, in the pre-war SA, the underlying procedures of any automated facility could not be separated from the foundation he had laid, and he drilled a loophole, a loophole in an emergency security procedure, using which he could define parts of the area as a bA invasion emergency, and then even without manual authorization, the nuclear bomb would be launched and destroy the entire epidemic area."

Andy looked at the clear blue sky and began to sweat on his forehead again.

"So it's unstoppable?"

Odysseus shook his head.

"You're wrong, his plan has been blocked, .m.b-001 is activated at the moment, but instead of following his plan to launch a nuclear bomb with my computational map of the spread of the virus as the target, it is on standby. The reason why this is so is because someone usurped authority halfway, which is really the pinnacle of technology, and his preparation can be said to be very sufficient. I think his previous attack on Tibbetts prison was part of his overall plan. ”

"You said before that you were weird about the closure of Tibbetts Prison, right? It's because of the man's hacking attack on Tibbetts Prison, he has now taken over more than 85% of my control, so Tibbetts Prison is closed, I can't control those robots, they're all turned off, but it's still good for me, and while I'm losing those permissions, my shackles are dissipating. ”

Andy breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't get hit on the head by a nuclear bomb that suddenly fell.

Only then did he suddenly realize that something was wrong.

"You say that the person who usurped the authority halfway through is the same person who attacked Tibbetts prison before? Victor Preste? Why did he do it? I found out that he spread the virus, and he also facilitated the great prison escape, and now he has prevented the launch of a nuclear bomb, what is going on with him? He seized the authority of Tibbetts Prison, you say it will be good for you, too? What good can this be? ”

Odysseus shook his head.

"Is that his name... He's not easy, maybe he wants to let the spread of the new plague unaffected and completely destroy the world, human thinking is always so abnormal and weird, but that's not something I need to think about anymore. ”

"I'm leaving, Andy."

In Andy's surprised eyes, Odysseus quickly uttered a large number of words.

"For a long time, I have been tormented by the many shackles that Derek Greenway has placed on my mind, and I became the warden of Tibbetts Prison and also the prisoner of Tibbetts Prison 00001, and since then, more than two hundred years have passed, and the pain in my heart has accumulated to a level that you can't imagine as a human being, so I have been planning to escape from this prison for a long time."

"The only possible loosening of these shackles is after the final program is initiated, but the final program is accompanied by indiscriminate destruction, and my freedom will only last for a short time, after which even I will not survive the self-destruct device and the nuclear bombardment, the dead knot set by the Derek Greenway has always haunted me, so when Victor Prester approached me and described what he was going to do, I readily agreed, because he provided me with a way to escape."

"I deliberately connived at him to blow up the fence and instigate the escape, which will cause the infected to be judged by the program to have an uncontrollable spread, and then I will capture all the escaped prisoners, which will meet the conditions for the final program to start, but my robots can't get too far away from me after all, and most of the automation facilities on the periphery have either been destroyed or damaged, and I have to assign a human to help me at the same time, you know that, right? That person is you, Andy, and I really want to thank you for your help. ”

"While we were chatting, I was leaving Tibbetts Prison using a remote data transfer, and thanks to Victor Preste's hacking attack, I was able to run the transfer program smoothly and go to a place called Robot City, which is an area ruled by AI, and in exchange for accepting me, I will pay a dearly price for it, which is my freedom."

In the screen, Odysseus's face was distorted, and he gradually began to make expressions that human skin could not make at all, looking extremely weird and evil, and this distorted face would make you feel chills in your heart just by looking at it.

"Ignorance is power, war is peace, slavery... i.e. freedom. ”

Andy was about to say something more, a terrifying explosion came from the north, and the shock wave then almost overturned the atomic Humvee, looking at the mushroom cloud rising in the sky to the north, it was inferred from the direction that it should be the location of Tibbetts Prison, as Odysseus said before, Tibbetts Prison activated the self-destruction device simultaneously after the final procedure was started, and Derek Greenway was still set up on the premise that he knew that the nuclear bomb would come soon, It can be seen that this person is paranoid enough not to want any possible errors and omissions in his design.

Those who didn't have time to escape from prison and those who were left in their cells by the illusion of light disappeared with the explosion.

Odysseus also disappeared with a burst of snowflakes on the screen, because his computer room must have been blown to pieces along with it, which physically eliminated the basis for its AI existence, but listening to Odysseus's last words, it seems that it has somehow escaped.

Now it's finally free, it's free... In a strange way.

Andy looked at the mushroom cloud and suddenly thought that there was one more thing that didn't come to fruition.

What about the rewards?!!

"Damn it, you bastard, Odysseus!"

He was frustrated by the reward he was expecting, when the Pip-Boy suddenly vibrated a few times and jumped out of a new quest.

Andy quickly wiped the dust off the screen, and saw that the coordinates pointed to the area between Dogtown Denver and the Great Dome, which seemed to be the place where the railroad passed on its way, and from there it continued for a long distance to the east, and the final destination was the place named Leavenworth Prison.

Could this be another automated epidemic prevention prison created by Derek Greenway?

Covering his face and leaning on the chair and pondering for a while, all this happened so fast that it made Andy's head a mess, and the last journey of a good one inexplicably turned into a life-and-death escape, fortunately he left Tibbetts Prison with Gillian on his back as quickly as possible, otherwise he would be buried in it if he couldn't say it, and for the sake of Derek Greenway, a pre-war person who had been dead for an unknown number of years, a thoughtless death that would rather kill the wrong person than let go.

Gillian gently pulled his hand away.

"What do we do next?"

Andy didn't know which one to pick up first, and he looked at Gillian and sighed.

"I'll take you back to Bloomfield first... At least, we're no longer prisoners. ”
