This Game is Too Real

The next day.

　　East bank of Linghu Lake.

　　 "Prepare!"

　　 The loud and sharp voice echoed on the edge of the woods.

　　 "Waste Al!"

　　 The fuze is lit.

　　The big iron pipe fixed on the wooden pier exploded out a fire and white smoke. The cannonball turned into a black shadow, drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and slammed heavily into the lake hundreds of meters away.

　　 Waiting for a while, a jet of water rose up into the sky, and the water was scattered and falling, and the muffled sound like a spring thunder brought the waves and rolled down the lake.

"Grass!"

　　 "Who is shooting there!"

　　 "The dog said the mosquito!"

　　 "Lao Tzu's fish are all scared away!"

　　 The fishing guys bragging and boasting with fishing rods on the shore of the lake yelled for a while, but the mosquitoes on their heads could not hear them.

　　 Since the preparation of nitric acid and sulfuric acid has been solved, his small workshop has been able to produce a small amount of nitroglycerin, and nitrocellulose can be obtained by adding a little plant fiber. Then use a mixed solution of ethanol and ether to dissolve and gel it to get a very useful colloidal gunpowder.

　　 Although the drying process of solidifying particles has not been unlocked, it is much stronger than the original black powder!

　　 This shot is at least 30 kilograms-maybe 50 kilograms of black powder!

　　 "Hahahahahaha, Ness! I finally succeeded!"

　　 The mosquito slapped his fist in excitement. As a result, his fist hit the tree trunk, but it didn't hurt. It just nearly broke his fist.

　　 It is a pity that there is too little sugar in the warehouse.

　　 can't make fun of it.

　　 The mosquito used fire tongs to take out the hot cartridge case, and then filled it with another shot, adjusting it back to the previous angle and igniting the fuze.

　　 There was another loud boom.

　　 This time the cannonball flew farther than last time, and it flew a full 100 meters forward.

　　 The sound of explosion echoed on the lake.

　　 The nomads who were coming to the lake bank to fetch water were all startled by the thunderous sound, and stood staring at the splashing water column on the lake.

　　 "Then, what is that?"

　　 "Big gun?!"

　　 "Yes, it should be called a cannon... I have seen those larger survivors' strongholds, and they use those cannons to deal with large alien species."

　　 "This power is too powerful, no wonder they can hunt Scraper Claws!"

　　 Different from the shocked and admired nomads, the anglers finally couldn't help being angry this time, and they looked for them from the lake with their fishing rods.

"NS!"

　　 "Can you go to other places with a cannon?"

　　 "Lao Tzu's fish are all scared away by you!"

　　 "That's right! The fish in this game was so difficult to catch, now it's even harder to catch!"

　　 Seeing the fishing guys headed by [Shao Chau Zi], they walked toward him aggressively, and the mosquito hurriedly pushed his small artillery cart and ran away in a hurry.

　　...

the other side.

　　 A department store not far from the south side of the abandoned tire factory.

　　 Five players are on the B2 floor of the underground parking lot, fighting fiercely with the aliens wandering here.

　　 The radioactive source is behind the door next to the freight elevator in Zone B1 of the underground parking lot. This is the Nth time they have used this copy.

After repeated pulling, attracting monsters, charging and focusing on fire, the Bull and Horse team gradually cleared out the eater that Irena led, and successfully trapped the "dungeon BOSS" in the hiding place by using the trap laid in advance-crawling. By.

　　Cooperating with his teammates, Fang Chang opened the daybreak, and with a charged shot, one arrow pierced the creeper's skull and successfully killed him.

　　 Ye Shi leaned on the concrete pillar and let out a sigh, throwing away the hatchet that had been rolled in his hand, raising his arm to wipe his sweat, and cursing.

　　 "Gan! After all, it's a special pass! This copy of the game should be cleared, right? Don't come out again later."

　　 Lao Bai glared at him with Feng Feng.

　　 "Don't Crow's Mouth!"

　　 "Shut your mouth."

　　 Yeshi shrank her neck, closed her mouth and said nothing.

　　 "Should not be able to do it anymore, do a few more waves, I'm afraid we will go bankrupt." Fang Chang walked into the creeper, pulled out the arrow stuck in its forehead, took a look at it, and threw it away.

　　 is obviously not available anymore.

　　 "Are you sure there won't be any other monsters down there?" Irena walked out from the side with her right hand supporting the wall.

　　 Yeshi smiled at him: "Brother, don't be afraid, it's already empty."

　　 The wind gave a thumbs up: "Waiting for your news."

　　 Irene: "Gan! Are you not afraid?"

　　 Old Bai said of course: "What's so scary about this, it's not a horror game."

　　 Irene: "..."

　　 makes sense.

　　 He didn't know how to refute it.

　　 After rubbing at the door for a while, Irena finally entered with a crowbar and explosives used to break the door.

　　 It was a corridor that was neither wide nor narrow. Before the war, it was probably a place like a spare warehouse.

　　 The rancid smell is suffocating, the ground is full of body fluids from eater and creepers, and the corners are full of unknown fungi.

　　 In this terrible environment, even mutant cockroaches will retreat.

　　 Even though the last creeper had been drawn out and killed by herself, Irena's heart still panicked.

　　 The atmosphere here is too weird.

　　 He can't help but think of several horror games he has played.

　　 Is this a fun game that focuses on leisure and elderly care? !

　　淦!

　　 Fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen.

　　 With the light emitted by the VM and the scanned map, Irena walked to the end of the passage smoothly.

　　 There is a rusty alloy door, and there is a corpse wearing a chemical protective suit upside down, but the corpse has only bones left.

　　 There are no signs of biting or tearing on that protective suit. It seems that he died before the eater took over here, and it was at least a few decades earlier.

　　 "The radiation index is getting higher and higher... It seems that the radioactive source is behind this door."

The guy lying on the ground should be the owner of this small shelter. The backpack thrown aside is still stuffed with cans, puffed food bags, and unrecognizable rotting debris and mushrooms-these should be him from the outside. Supplies found.

　　 But don't know why, he died at his door.

　　 "Brother, don't blame me."

　　Although she was 10,000 reluctant in her heart, Irene still bit her scalp, took the fairly complete protective clothing off the frame, and put it on herself.

　　 The air filter system is broken.

but it does not matter.

　　 He only needs to block part of the gamma rays, and the rest relies on the resistance and recovery bonus provided by the physique attribute, so the problem of holding it should not be big!

　　 installed explosives at the door, and Irena, who lit the fuze, ran to the exit of the passage.

　　 "Boom!"

　　The dense smoke from the explosion filled the entire passage in an instant. After waiting for the dense smoke to dissipate, Irena turned back to the door again.

　　 The alloy gate remained motionless, but the concrete wall beside it was exploded to reveal the steel structure inside.

　　 "Good guy...it's pretty sturdy."

After a lot of effort, Irena finally cleared away the concrete debris from the damaged wall with the crowbar in her hand, and then extended the crowbar and arm together to open the bolt-like door locks one by one. .

　　 Fortunately, there are no more protective structures.

　　 Accompanied by the squeaking sound, the heavy alloy door finally opened, and the muddy air was wrapped in a stale breath.

　　 Irena, who stepped into the room, held her breath, turned off the faintly glowing VM screen, and lit the portable lamp she had brought earlier.

　　 The flame flickered in a trance and gradually became clear, illuminating the nearby space.

　　 Various signs indicate that this is indeed a small shelter.

　　 At least it used to be.

　　 The area of ​​the shelter is not large. Compared with Refuge No. 404, it can even be said to be quite compact.

　　 However, unlike the large-scale refuge facilities with official backgrounds like Vault 404, the layout of this small refuge is quite compact.

　　 Not to mention the kind of buffer room with two air locks and pressurization functions, there is not even a porch design here.

　　 Behind the open alloy door, directly facing rows of shelves covered with moss.

　　 walked into the shelter with a lamp.

　　 Irena took a closer look at these shelves, and found that above the glassware displayed on the shelves, there were long strips of lamps in series.

　　 "Could it be... soilless cultivation?"

　　 This should be a planting area, probably used to produce vegetables, staple foods and other crops, by the way, improve the air environment in the shelter.

　　 But after so many years, the water in the cultivation tank has dried up a long time ago, leaving only a layer of dead moss and a few pieces of dry debris and curled plant fibers.

　　 He couldn't even see what had been planted in it before.

　　 After confirming the radiation index on the VM, Irene carried the lamp and continued forward.

　　 Behind the planting area are rows of real shelves.

　　 is also what is displayed on these shelves, so he can't help his eyes widening.

　　 Copper ingots, steel ingots, aluminum ingots, lead... and a large number of metals that cannot be accurately identified by his experience in scavenging waste, are neatly placed on them.

　　 In addition, there are also a large number of non-metallic materials such as glass fiber, graphite powder, rubber products, hydraulic oil, lubricants, adhesives and so on.

　　 even some chemicals with unknown ingredients in liquid or powder form!

　　 And these materials are different from the **** scattered in the ruins. Perhaps they have undergone anti-oxidation treatment and are quite well preserved, at least they seem to be usable.

　　 In addition to the materials used to make these utensils, Irene also found some unfinished tools and parts on the last row of shelves, as well as five yellow gold ingots and ten silver ingots!

　　 When he saw this, his eyes couldn't help but go straight.

　　 "Fuck..."

　　 got rich!

　　 It can be seen that the owner of this shelter should be a local tyrant, and most likely the owner of this department store, or at least a major shareholder!

　　 And this guy's crisis awareness and hands-on ability are not so strong.

　　 Immediately behind the container is a DIY workbench.

　　 In addition to basic tools such as screwdrivers and wrenches, it is also connected to guide rails, guide plates, mold balance devices, and hydraulic overload devices. A variety of replaceable tools and processing modules are hung beside the workbench.

　　 The entire workbench has almost no high-precision electronic technology. Even if it encounters EMP, its function will not be affected in any way.

　　 and there is almost no difficulty in maintaining!

　　 Even if the power is cut off, it can replace the motor by hand to drive part of the processing modules on the workbench!

　　 Compared with those high-precision tools that leave a civilized society, these "original tools" that are durable and have a long shelf life can give people a sense of security.

　　 Seeing this, Irena feels it.

　　 This workbench is much better than the workbench of the proprietress of the weapon shop!

　　 "Get rich, get rich... Work first."

　　 didn't stay here long, Irena, who was looking for the radioactive source, continued to move forward and passed through the door behind the workbench.

　　Behind the door should be the living area.

　　 According to the rising radiation index on VM, the radioactive source should be inside.

　　 Cautiously stepped into the living area, Irena saw the dormant cabin that was placed against the wall facing the door at a glance.

　　 The door of the dormant cabin was open, and it seemed that it had been broken for a long time.

Judging from the open hatch and the scattered parts and tools nearby, someone should have tried to fix it, but failed, and it is likely that a serious electrical accident will be caused, which will eventually cause the shelter to lose power and the ventilation facilities to stop working. In the end, the people inside were suffocated to death.

　　 Irena found a single bed next to it, with two skeletons lying flat on the bed sheet.

　　 Judging from the shape and size of the bones, both of them should be adult women, but the exact age is unknown.

　　 Combining the body found at the door and the only training cabin in the room, Irene has at least arranged and combined four possibilities in her mind about the question of "who is the owner of the sanctuary?"

　　 However, it doesn’t matter whichever it is.

　　 For a player who is eager to clear the dungeon, the story of the dead is of no importance at all.

　　 After a careful search, Irena quickly found the radioactive source that made his VM beep on a generator-like facility.

　　 It is a black cylinder inserted in a circular groove.

　　 According to the story background of "Wasteland OL", it is speculated that this thing is probably some kind of civilian fusion battery?

　　 Or the "fuel rod" of a cold fusion generator?

　　 Anyway, no matter what it is in the setting, it is obviously broken, leaving only the damaged shell and the radioactive residue that is nowhere to be placed.

　　 Strictly speaking, nuclear fusion should be clean, because the product is helium.

However, the cleanness here is not in the absolute sense of harmlessness. It is just that compared with the nuclear waste produced by nuclear fission that has "radioactive residues that have been around for hundreds of thousands of years", nuclear waste produced by controlled fusion is not that difficult. deal with.

　　 After all, any material that has been irradiated by high-energy neutron rays for a long time may produce "induced radioactivity." It’s just that the radiation dose of this kind of nuclear waste is much smaller, and the hazards are usually "century grades", which may be gone after a few centuries.

　　 is more straightforward. As long as you don’t directly pinch the "damaged nuclear battery" on your hand, there will be no major problems under normal circumstances.

　　 At this point, "Wasteland OL" is relatively restored.

　　 just like now.

　　 Irena just squeezed this battery in her hand for a while, she felt like she was going to die...

　　 "No kidding, I think I can save it."

　　 took the radioactive source out and threw it away, and returned to the front of the cattle and horse squad. Irene said with a serious nosebleed.

　　 Gale glanced at him and shook his head.

"Hopeless."

　　 The nosebleeds are flowing like this, and I can still talk while standing, that is, I am in the game.

　　 In reality, I lay unconscious on the ground early.

"Have you heard? The physics teacher said you were not saved," Ye Shi smiled and patted his shoulder, and said with a wink. Yes. We will search for you in the copy. Don't worry, your share will not be less!"

　　 Irena grimaced.

　　 "I just want to ask, can the resurrection CD be reduced or exempted by reclaiming the corpse?"

　　 Fang Chang also said with a smile.

"How is it possible? Didn't you watch the official website setting episode? The resurrection CD is not a death penalty. But you are lucky, at least the VM is not broken, or you have to buy it again. By the way, if you are worried about not being able to support the base, you can Put the VM here so that you don’t get halfway to lie down, and if you haven’t picked up the corpse and VM, it would be a big trouble."

　　 Irene: "Gan! You don't care about me. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is actually a VM! Isn't there any warmth in this cold world?"

　　 Ye Shi rolled his eyes.

　　 "Isn't this worrying about you spending the wrong money? I don't even care about you—"

"Okay, don't talk with your mouth," Lao Bai interrupted Ye Shi's beep with a cough, then looked at Irena, and said comfortingly, "We can score you 5% more for the benefits of the dungeon, and it should be able to compensate. You have lost these three days. Next time there is a chance to cooperate, we will call you back. What do you think?"

　　 5% is already quite a lot. After all, the dungeon was discovered by the Cow Horse Team, and the output was basically played by a few of them, and a lot of ammunition and supplies were consumed.

　　 As a passerby who got on the bus halfway, the share that belonged to Irena in the promise was originally only 10%, and the extra 5% is already quite kind.

　　 Lao Bai’s words finally made Irene feel that there is still a little warmth remaining in this cold world.

　　 With a sorrowful expression on her nose, Irena took off her VM and solemnly handed it to Lao Bai.

　　 "Tell Xiaoyu for me, just say..."

　　Only halfway through the conversation, people fell to the ground with a thump.

　　 Ye Shi couldn't hold back, and laughed a pig cry.

　　 The gusty wind turned his head to his side, and his shoulders kept shaking.

　　 Looking at the pool of blood on his sleeve, the old white was covered with black lines, and finally sighed.

　　 "I'll put him on the wagon outside first."

　　 "Let’s drag it back together later."
