Andy walks alone to the south of the Dome, and along the way, Diana keeps in touch with Andy in Pip-Boy.

"Can I drive along?"

"I advise you not, although the probability is very low, but if it happens, your body will merge with your car."

Andy's mouth grinned, and he remembered the mysterious pre-war experiment he had heard Frank talk about.

"So be it."

A brilliant blue light suddenly fell from the sky.

"The distance of quantum teleportation this time is too far, not inside the nursery, I can only try once with the help of satellites, the satellite state is average, you may feel some discomfort, but I believe you can hold on."

Before the words fell, Andy only felt a huge energy rushing down from the top of his head, and then it seemed like a short moment, the blue energy gradually dissipated, and he suddenly felt a sharp pain all over his body, but the next moment this pain naturally subsided.

He raised his hand and saw some faint red lines looming on his arm, it seemed that the Fire Phoenix system had been triggered, that is, those pains were not entirely hallucinations, he had indeed been disassembled and reassembled once, although only for a moment.

"You're not far from there now, get over as soon as possible."

Diana made a serious request.

"There can be no more people in this world who use nuclear weapons to cause disasters, you must not stop him."

Andy followed the map on the Pip-Boy and walked with a strange feeling in his heart.

"Nuclear weapons? Who can master a weapon of this level today? I've heard that some people have found mini-nukes and their launchers in some places, but nuclear weapons like this can't be? ”

Diana shook her head.

"The environmental impact of individual nuclear weapons like you are talking about... It's not a big deal, and based on the readings from sensors nearby, I don't think the nuclear weapons that exploded on the south shore of the Grand Canyon were a real nuclear weapon, but a dirty bomb, and while the direct destructive power of such weapons was much lower than that of nuclear weapons, the radiation pollution and environmental damage they caused were much greater. ”

Andy trotted in thought and asked another question.

"Not to mention the power of the weapons, I want to ask you, Diana, how did they launch them? I've heard that people before the war relied on bombers and ballistic missile silos to launch nuclear weapons, but I don't think there are bombers in the world that can fly into the sky or where there are still working silos, how do they do it? You can't throw it with your hands. ”

Diana split the Pip-Boy's screen in two, and a satellite photo appeared on the right-hand side.

"Look."

Andy fixed his eyes to distinguish, the photo is obviously a very high place with an ultra-high-resolution lens to the ground to take a live photo, this kind of facility has been unmaintained, unattended in space for more than a hundred years, and now it can still be used normally, and was arbitrarily transferred by Diana, he remembered that when he met the three Pierce under the Grand Canyon before, Pierce said that Prest had been monitoring him.

The pre-war legacy is always so surprising that a mechanical eye suspended in space can see the ground so clearly that in the photo, Andy can even see people and garbage on the ground...

Wait, people?

He flicked his finger at the photo, and the photo could be zoomed in further, so Andy could confirm that the person standing on the ground was a green-robed protector of the Wasteland's armed team of the Wasteland's ultra-racist ghoul organization.

"Is that them?"

Andy was surprised, a few days ago he was full of thoughts about how to stop Prester from destroying the world, but unexpectedly, a group of strange people came out in the middle of the way, these ghouls were doing business in the new mS in the southeast, and the bottle caps were counted to the cramps in their hands, why did they suddenly come to the west? Diana said that they fired a dirty bomb, which makes sense, the dirty bomb is so powerful that it is mainly contaminated by radiation, and the ghouls are not afraid of radiation at all and can even benefit from it, while humans can only die from radiation sickness, which is really a perfect weapon.

But how do they do it?

Andy looked again, and there were two parallel black lines running through the ground, one running southwest and northeast.

This is clearly the railway, the railway from the Ashid fortress to the Grand Canyon and even in the direction of Bloomfield, but the railway bridge that crosses the Grand Canyon has collapsed and broken and cannot directly connect the north and south, and the black rectangle around those Dharma protectors is estimated to be a train... Looking closely at the shape, Andy remembered that he had seen the train on the reservation, where he had seen many broken armored cars and tanks with engines and other parts removed, and then the locomotive with welding marks near the entrance to the temple.

So, they've been planning to do this for a long time?

On the train, you can faintly see that there is a small thing in the carriage being pulled, but the angle on the satellite photo is not suitable, and it is not clear what it is, but now you can guess that these ghouls are relying on this big thing carried by the train to shoot a dirty bomb across the Grand Canyon to the south to bomb it, and is there anything suitable for the target on the south bank of the Grand Canyon except for Bodunke?

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

On the north shore of the Grand Canyon, a group of elderly scavengers in San Diego are nowhere to be seen, and on the edge of the North House, a group of green-robed ghouls are facing south in prayer, holding religiously charged metal food in their hands and muttering the scriptures of the Preservation Sutra in their mouths.

Just to the south of them, across the Grand Canyon, a cloud of gray-green smoke completely obscured a space.

Measles sat on the locomotive and looked at it from afar, but instead of the tattered linen clothes of the past, he was a delicate turquoise robe, dyed and embroidered with a large religious motif of the Children of the Wasteland, and in a large carriage dragged by his side, a thick black cannon barrel stretched out; Not long ago, it was this terrifying cannon that fired a cannon from the train, and after an earth-shattering bang, a shell full of radioactive material flew towards Podonke in the south, causing a radioactive explosion and ending the previous entangled contradictions.

"Alright, the test shot was a success, and in accordance with the command of the Savior Messiah, we will do the will of the Holy Spirit of the Wasteland and practice the holy ways of the wasteland, and start a sacred war with all the slippery skins of the world! We must annihilate all those invading skins from the west, all the evil people who believe in foreign gods in the northwest, and finally all the skins in the world! Our way—"

The Dharma protectors responded loudly with the preservation of scripture excerpts.

"If the Holy Spirit enlightens, radiate the light of the world!"

Measles asks the protectors to leave a few people behind to go to the south bank of the Grand Canyon to deal with the ruins of Podonk, and then walks into the train with a group of ghouls, and the powerful train starts again, rumbling down the railroad with a loud whistle.

Not long after the train left north, Andy came in a hurry, and he looked at the large cloud of intense radioactive dust in the direction of Podonk on the south bank, and immediately froze on the spot.

Not long after walking from that town, the scenes of the battle in Podunk are still in front of me, those men, women, children, old people, those who are either kind and brave or despicable and bad, those construction achievements that have been built with great difficulty, and those disputes over the distribution of the gold in the mines, all of which have disappeared at this moment, and no one will survive such a terrible legacy.

A feeling of wonder how to describe it arose, and the name Bodunk no longer existed today.

"Andy, you can't waste any more time, they're moving again."

Diana's voice rang out from the beep-boy boy.

"You have to stop them, the wasteland environment can't withstand their devastation, those dirty bombs will cause a lot of casualties and long-term environmental pollution that cannot be removed in an instant, and they will also cause humans to become mad ghouls, and the damage will be endless."

Andy looked at the railroad tracks and was a little dazed.

"But they are driving the train, and I only have one pair of legs, and when I get there, won't I be a step too late?"

Diana sighed, as if she had made up her mind.

"The satellite I control now is the one that helped me seize control of Vault 29 in the first place, it is powerful, but now it is undermaintained, in poor condition, your area is too far away from the nursery, it is difficult for my power to project it in time, if you force this satellite, it may... Now, there are no more options, you hurry up and keep chasing along the rails, and I'll make them stop. ”

She then turned off the communication.

Andy didn't know what Diana was going to do, so he could only keep walking and running.

Now that the gang had moved, they had to move towards Fort Alashid to the north, and they had been able to pass through it without any problems, and it was only because of the trade links they had established with the Hoover Dam that they had previously retained with their help, and as a result, Podunk was reduced to a crater, and then Fort Alashid was threatened; If they succeed, the tragedy of Caesar's Legion's hangman leading the team to destroy Fort Ashid and forcing the NcR to retreat west to Hoover Dam will inevitably lead to the collapse of order in the Eastern District, and then a large number of NcR soldiers in Fort Arashid will either die from radiation or turn into mad ghouls and become a scourge, and the situation may be even more tragic than the last time.

The sun was shining in the sky, Andy had just undergone implant surgery, and Diana had used ultra-long-distance teleportation, so it was uncomfortable to run along the railroad to the north, and there were faint hallucinations in front of him, and he only felt that he had almost become an absurd art.

He strode and ran, and behind him was a small settlement filled with smoke that had just been destroyed by a dirty bomb, and in front of him was a large settlement that was about to be destroyed by a dirty bomb, and he was in a hurry to stop it from happening, and the way to hurry was to run...

After running at full speed for half an hour, even Andy felt tired, and finally saw the train stop in front of him, and then looked at the railway in front of the train, I don't know what force hit it, a large crater appeared there, and the extremely high temperature melted the rails, sleepers and sand particles at the place of hit, and the terrifying temperature even caused a large piece of glass-like crystallization to appear there.

As soon as the railway is broken, the train naturally cannot move forward, and the railway bridge in the Grand Canyon in the south is already broken, and the train is now trapped here with nowhere to go.

The ghouls were all standing on either side of the train with a little agitation, their faces not very good.

Measles stared at the crater that cut off the railroad tracks in front of him, and a few minutes ago, suddenly a fierce light fell from the sky, and the power was terrifying, even from a few hundred meters away, I felt that a wave of heat that could dry people's skin and curl hair rolled in, and the terrifying flash illuminated all directions, almost blinding the yellow eyes of measles.

At this point, the original plan may not be executed, but what is going on with this beam? Shot down without warning, but fortunately it didn't hit the train he was on, otherwise...

Andy, who was running from the south, was thinking about the same thing, and it happened that Diana had restored communication, but the signal was a little unstable.

"Diana, since you can do it to this extent, why don't you just destroy their trains and weapons?"

Diana's communication avatar appears and disappears, seemingly disappearing at any moment.

"It is already my limit to be able to invoke this blow, and this violation of the operation may cause fatal damage to the satellite, greatly shortening its already short lifespan, and I have no way to do accurate aiming during this period, so I can only choose a safe plan to cut off the railway in front of them."

"The rest is up to you, Andy."

With that, the communication was cut off.

Andy put down the beep-boy boy, stood there and rested for a moment, pulled out two pistols, matched the metal armor on his body, and walked towards the ghouls step by step.

As he walked slowly, the ghouls who didn't know how to be good noticed the approacher, and raised their weapons.

Although measles was the farthest away, he was the first of the ghouls to look back, his face was expressionless, a pair of eyes looked at Andy, and after a while, he flicked his robe and walked straight towards Andy, the two walked opposite each other, and soon stood face to face.

"Andy... What the hell is going on with these strange things, so you are the one who did it? ”

Measles looked at him, but his finger pointed to the glass pit in front of him.

Andy faced a group of hostile ghouls in front of him, but he didn't show the slightest fear.

"I did it, but it's not a ghost, it's you stink ghouls!"

As soon as they said this, of course, the ghouls in the reserve couldn't listen to it, and only they, the 'new humans', despised the slippery and vulgar words? What's more, this slippery skin personally admitted that he was playing tricks to thwart their plans, and at that time, several Dharma protectors raised their rifles and pulled the bolts to open fire, but they were stopped by measles raising his hand.

"Our Goodwill Ambassador, why do you have to do this? When you left Podunk, I urged you to go back with me to meet my father, in order to prevent this from happening today, remember the bottle of medicine I gave you? It was not a simple anti-radiation drug, and before the war, that vial was worth a thousand gold, because it could help people complete sanctification and achieve immortality in the future. ”

Andy pulls out the bottle of medicine from the Pip-Boy and throws it on the ground in front of the measles and shatters it.

"What sanctification, don't you just want me to become a ghoul and become like you, so that you can truly trust me. I'm not your ambassador of goodwill now, in fact, you just want to use me to help you gain the trust of humanity, and your original plan was to use your train to pull that cannon at all the human settlements to shoot dirty bombs at all the human settlements, so that we either die or become your own kind, that's what you bastards think, right? ”

When Measles saw Andy's reaction, he immediately stopped pretending, he smiled weirdly, and stood in the middle of a group of ghouls.

"Andy, I know to you, I've always hated slippery skins, any slippery skins, you're the only one I like, I thought you were funny when I met you at the Reserve Market in the early days, and after my father ordered me to follow you, I saw more special things about you. I didn't want to see it today, so when you fell into the Grand Canyon on the cable car, I didn't pull you, and I even felt a sense of relief... It's a pity that you ended up alive and back as a slippery skin. If I were to say something like that to me in another slippery way, I would immediately punish him by pressing his head in his, but for you, I'm willing to give you another chance. ”

He took a bottle from his robe.

"You take this, jump off the Grand Canyon, if you can become one of our kindred and come back alive, I am willing to be a guarantor for you to hold an important position in the reservation, even second only to me in status, what do you think?"

Andy spat directly at him.

"Keep your treasure potion for yourself, ghoul, and the two of us are doomed to be bad when you bomb Podunk."

Measles clenched his fingers, and the small bottle cracked a few cracks.

He threw it on the ground and smashed it, the shards mingling with the ones Andy had thrown, and then pointed his finger forward.

"Kill this slippery skin!"

The Dharma Protectors didn't want to be patient for a long time, and immediately fired wildly at Andy when they heard the order, gunfire came one after another, and a large number of 7.62mm bullets and 5.56mm bullets shot out of the rifles they held to form a rain of bullets towards Andy, in the face of this desperate situation, Andy, who was not wearing power armor, chose to activate an implant in his body, and a dose of combat medicine generated by GRx flowed into his body in a flash.

The bullets in front of me actually stopped in the air, and this feeling was very different from the feeling of opening V mode, which slowed down in V mode, and under the influence of the supercharger, time almost stopped.

It's only for a few seconds, but it's enough.

He slowly walked away from the gap between the bullets and came to the side of these protectors, just as the effect of the supercharger passed, Andy turned on the V mode, and the plasma pistol and laser pistol fired one after another, and the powerful power of the pre-war energy weapon was undoubtedly revealed, killing these ghouls into pieces, and the Grim Reaper's raid skill was crazy to replenish Andy's strength, and the consumption of running all the way was actually recovering.

In the eyes of the measles, Andy disappeared in an instant to dodge the shot, and then came to the side and opened fire rapidly, killing the Dharma protectors in one shot.

But he was not in a hurry, but raised his hand to untie his robe.

Andy raised his industrial hand with a lightning raid to open the circular saw and spray gun on it, and with a single touch, the ghoul wore the reserve's fine metal armor to smash it, and with the help of Bang Papa's force, it penetrated its body, causing the ghoul's shriveled body to explode on the spot.

In the end, a Dharma protector who was still alive was about to change the magazine but didn't touch the replacement on his body, seeing Andy provocatively looking at him not moving, knowing that he was already going to die, he gritted his teeth and pulled out the bayonet in front of the rifle in his hand, and ran towards Andy with a shout, halfway Andy was replaced by a giant python and shot him in the head, and suddenly the whole head connected to the neck and shoulders and disappeared into blood mist.

The ground was littered with corpses, all mutilated, and Andy looked at the last one left alive besides him.

Measles walked towards him, unbuttoned his robe and threw it into the air, and the robe blew by the wind and sand, and it drifted away in a blink of an eye.

I saw that he was wearing a tight-fitting black armor, with his chest up, and the muscle outlines of his whole body appeared, no longer the previous rickety and thin state, and his purple face was solemn, such a contrast, Andy couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Did you pretend to be before?"

Measles took a breath and clenched her fists.

"Disguise is a hobby of mine, and it gives me a pleasure to see the incredulous eyes of those who despise me before they die... If you could see the same thing in your eyes today... That would be a blessing for me. ”

"Speaking of which, do you know why they adore me so much?"

The measles moved its neck a few times, revealing a large rash on it, carrying something in one hand.

"Now, I can tell you.."

He disappeared in front of Andy's eyes in an instant, and before he could react, there was a sharp pain in his lower back.
