This Game is Too Real

Chapter 156: Messenger from Boulder City

far away.

   Flying snow in the sky and dozens of gunshots gave the funeral a trace of sadness.

   The three dead Marines were put into the freezer, and the Blazer's crew held a simple funeral for them.

   In order to prevent the corpses of their comrades from being eaten by alien species, they would freeze the corpses and store them in the morgue. After the expedition triumphed, they would take them back to Ideal City for burial.

   The Pioneer had a hundred people when it departed, but now there are only ninety people left, and three others lie in the medical cabin for treatment, waiting for the implantation of the prosthesis.

   Looking at the remains of his comrades, Lu Yang felt a little heavy, and even felt a little confused.

   He does not doubt the decision of the company's top management, nor is he afraid of dying on the way to find Refuge No. 0, but what makes him sad is that he does not know how many people will die if he goes on like this.

   Only when I arrived in the River Valley Province, I had already reduced its staff by 10%.

  If you continue to go west and deep into the wasteland...

   At this time, his adjutant Yi Hai walked up to him and whispered.

   "We should increase the stock of weapons by at least another 500 tons. The further west we go, the more likely we are to encounter legionary forces. I am worried...there will be new conditions at that time."

   Lu Yang nodded.

"Last night, I discussed this issue with Chief Li of the Logistics Department. On the one hand, we need to increase our weapons reserves. On the other hand, we need to actively obtain reinforcements from the corporate headquarters. I intend to help the residents of Refuge 404 to reinforce their base of operations. If reinforcements from the corporate headquarters arrive later, you can get supplies from them."

   is not just for consideration of this level of factors.

   Lu Yang’s concern is that General Klass of the Expeditionary Force learned that his squadron of Refuge 404 had been damaged and soon won the title of "Permanent Enterprise Partner".

   That is no doubt equivalent to telling them that Vault 404 played a decisive role in the outcome of that war.

  Maybe General Klass wouldn’t lose his mind for a commander, forgetting what he did in the valley province.

   But it is difficult to say whether they will take other retaliatory actions.

   After all, those predators are the "number one fan" of the Legion, and many of the predators’ organization and slave taming skills are simply copied from the Legion.

   Yi Hai nodded slightly.

"I think so too."

  ……

   The sky lights up.

  In the remote operation camp, the industrious residents of Refuge 404 have begun to light a fire and cook.

   Fang Chang, who was sitting in the camp, had his left arm wrapped in a bandage, with a bowl in his hand, and took a sip of the noodle soup and said with emotion.

   "Hey, fortunately the scrambled egg brother is still alive, or else I won't be able to eat this noodle."

   Both bow and fate were saved.

   The only pity is that the Yeshi brothers were sacrificed, and Lao Bai couldn't get on the number because of something to do. Brother Fengfeng lost his arm and was receiving treatment on the Pioneer.

   This bowl of noodles can only be eaten here by himself.

   "I'm also a physique system, how easy it is," there was a plaster on his face, and the scrambled egg brother did not forget to yell, "Next."

   Although more than a hundred people died last night, the living people did not seem to be affected, except for occasional sighs in the chat, as if regretting the victims.

   Leaning on the waterwheel and eating the freshly bought steamed buns, Yuan Hao looked at the white smoke floating in the distance and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

   "Perhaps we should learn from their optimism."

   "Yes..." Wei Jia nodded, his eyes filled with admiration and emotion, "Maybe, this is the reason why they can survive this tragic world."

   "Speaking of which, today's soy milk is good."

   "Indeed! Honestly, I really want to leave the planting cabin to them... It is a waste to let the freeze-drying workshop and mobile kitchen handle those precious ingredients."

   At this time, a jet-black transport plane flew in the direction of Linghu to the south.

   Its appearance resembles a dolphin, with a wide nose and a slender body. The two engines located one behind the other at the bottom of the cabin spray coquettish blue arcs of fire, pushing the fuselage forward.

   The electromagnetic point defense on the top of the Trailblazer aimed at it, followed its outline and moved slowly for a while, and then fired two mass bullet warnings.

   The sound of blasting through the sound barrier forced the plane to a halt, only to see it wisely stopped moving forward, and slowly landed in the open area south of the Blazer.

   The engine shut down, and four men wearing exoskeletons jumped out of the cabin cleanly and walked far towards the Trailblazer.

Many players in the    action camp saw this scene, and their faces showed surprise expressions.

   "Fuck me?"

   "A helicopter without a propeller!"

   "The engine with blue light is so handsome..."

   "If only I could buy one!"

   "One rack of one million silver coins, go buy it."

   "Shut up, I was planning to hear it all."

For this group of uninvited guests, although the Blazer did not sound the alarm, it has also entered the stage of first-level combat readiness. The staff of the logistics department took the elevator back to the interior of the fort, and replaced by four marines wearing power armor. .

   took the three teammates forward, Captain Lu Yang stared at the four in front of him, frowning slightly.

"You are?"

   headed the man one step forward and said politely.

   "We are from the Boulder City Militia. My name is Li Hua."

   Lu Yang stared at him.

   "The First Development Corps of the Silver Wing Group, Lu Yang, explain your intentions."

   "After all, we don’t want to intervene in your conflict, but this conflict is happening on our land after all..."

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the fixed-wing drone taking off from above the fortress. Li Hua reluctantly raised his hands, "Don’t be nervous, friends from afar, anyway, your fight is over. How about stopping here? Why don’t you deal with the prisoners? We, we can pay them a ransom... Anyway, it’s useless for you to keep them, isn’t it?"

   "Are you here on behalf of the Legion?" Lu Yang's tone sank.

   Li Hua said.

   "A neutral third party, of course, if you refuse, we will not say anything. After all, he is your captive, and you have the right to dispose of him."

   Lu Yang pondered for a while and said.

   "I am not alone in the matter of the captives. I have to ask the opinions of our allies."

   "Allies?" The man was stunned, and exchanged surprised glances with his teammates. Finally, he looked at Lu Yang and nodded helplessly, "All right...we can wait."

   Someone dared to intervene in the Legion’s affairs?

   What a warrior!

   Watching those people return to the plane, Lu Yang also took his men back to the Blazer, and put a call to Chu Guang.

   When the call was made, Chu Guang happened to be at the office and took over the pension payment list from Luo Hua.

  117000CR and a magnetic confinement plasma processing machine tool.

   Yes, the latter is free.

   After this battle, the head of the logistics department changed his previous attitude and decided to repair the machine tool for them for free, as a reward for extending a helping hand in the encounter at Vault 404.

   It's just that the technology of that machine tool is more complicated. It will take about a week to completely repair it. He needs to wait patiently for a while. Luo Hua assured Chu Guang that he would definitely deliver that thing to them before leaving.

   Of course Chu Guang didn't mind waiting, and he was not in a hurry.

   Can save 100,000 CR is simply a blood profit, okay?

  The price he paid was only 117 points of active substance. Because of the more than 2,000 corpses left by those clones, rounding it up meant no cost.

   In addition, there is a pension of 117000CR, whether it is used to buy guns or food, it’s great, okay?

Of course, due to the large amount of materials involved in the tens of thousands of CRs, Luo Hua also reminded Chu Guang that the capacity of the Trailblazer is limited. If you need to purchase a large amount of materials, it is best to place an order in advance, and their inventory is not There will not be a lot of reserves, and it takes time to arrange production.

   such as an assault rifle.

   Such as agricultural products.

   If they cannot deliver before departure, they can only give them the money and ask them to buy it with the company's caravan.

   Of course, none of these problems seemed to Chu Guang to matter.

   If Vault 404 becomes a permanent partner of the company, even if the CR is not spent, it will be fine, and it will be available one day.

   The group of Chu Guang who was happy at the moment, but he couldn't express too much excitement at this moment. He felt that all his 16 points of power were taken away and laughed.

   However, he was not happy for a while, and soon received a call from Lu Yang...

   "Boulder City? Are they going to redeem the people?" After listening to Captain Lu's words, Chu Guang was stunned.

   Two days ago, he was still saying that the people in Boulder City hadn't moved a little for a long time, but they came here early this morning.

   "Yes." In the holographic image, Lu Yang nodded, "Their people have just arrived in the northern suburbs."

   Chu Guang asked immediately.

   "How did they come?"

   Such a heavy snow!

  The entire road from Beijiao to the Third Ring Road is closed. This is not a problem of just 10 or 20 kilometers, but a problem of drilling a few holes through a few hills!

   The most important thing is that they didn't go out of the city via the northern part of the highway, and the hummingbirds wandering in this area didn't even see them at all.

   Is it possible to pass over the lake?

   Lu Yang: "It's a twin-engine rotorless helicopter."

   Chu Guang: "……"

All right.

   He wasted his expression.

   But since they can afford to fly, they are not ordinary mercenaries or mercenaries. Eighty percent are members of the Boulder City Militia.

   Looking at Lu Yang's holographic image, Chu Guang's expression became serious, and even without a ransom, he spoke.

   "We can't take this ransom!"

   Lu Yang looked at Chu Guang and asked.

   "We did not promise them. Before deciding what to do with the prisoners, I want to know your opinion."

  View?

   What is your opinion?

   If you let the captives go back, and let the expeditionary forces in the north know that they have broken their good deeds, it would be a lot of fun.

   Although the expeditionary army of the legion will know that it was one's own hands sooner or later, if the same thing is known in different ways, the possible consequences are completely different.

  If Vanus did not return, even if the general of the expeditionary army knew the inside story, he would not necessarily send someone to the south to search for a stupid loser.

   The marching speed is slow in the snowy days, and the Trailblazer will be gone long after the snow stops. It is not worth it to beat a group of hillbillies over 500 kilometers.

   If there are fewer people, it's a gift. If there are too many people, you can’t get the money back.

   But if Vanus was allowed to go back alive, it would be bad.

   What if this guy persuaded his general to assemble a team of thousands and run back to find a place?

   is not impossible.

   Considering the connections of the commander within the legion and the expeditionary army, and possible kinship, Chu Guang can list at least four completely different possibilities.

   Lu Yang asked a little thoughtfully.

   "Then what do you think is better?"

"If you don't plan to take him with you when you leave, then hand over these prisoners to us," Chu Guang said sincerely looking at Lu Yang in the holographic image, "After the northern expeditionary force is defeated, I will give He has a chance to redeem himself, but not now."

It’s definitely not good to let it go, and it’s not appropriate to kill it. It’s best to keep it until the expeditionary force is withdrawn from the river valley province. It depends on the specific situation to decide whether to dispose of him or give him a chance to redeem himself. .

   The commanders of the army are all slave owners, and they can always find a way to squeeze some benefits from them.

   It's really not good, and it will be the same when selling it to Boulder City.

   At least while the Legion’s expeditionary forces were still in the valley provinces, Chu Guang couldn’t put this unstable factor back.

   Lu Yang probably thought of this layer too, and nodded.

"Okay. Actually, I don’t approve of letting him go now. At least before we set off, we have to control him to make sure he doesn’t run around. Now that we have the same idea, the messengers from Boulder City, I Just play."

   Chu Guang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded lightly.

   "It's so good."

  ……

   The black helicopter took off again and headed back towards Boulder City on the edge of the third ring road in Qingquan City.

   glanced at the trailblazer, which was getting farther and farther away, Li Hua's face was a bit regretful.

  The militiaman sitting next to him couldn't help asking.

   "Sir, did we just leave?"

   Li Hua glanced at him.

   "Otherwise? Do you have a better idea?"

   The soldier immediately shut his mouth and said nothing.

   What good ideas can he have.

   He was just worried that the head of the group would blame them after seeing them ineffective.

   But speaking of it, these hillbillies in the northern suburbs are really brave enough to get involved in the disputes between the legion and the enterprise.

  Are they going to dance in the minefield?

   don't understand.

   An action camp not far away.

   The players who originally thought there would be a new plot, all scattered happily and went to do their own things.

   "What the **** are these people doing?"

"do not know……"

   "Who do you think those people will be?"

   "The equipment is different from the company's... Is it from Boulder City?"

"possible."

   At 12 o'clock in the morning of game time, and at 12 o'clock tomorrow in real time, there will be a trophy auction on the official website.

Judging from the pictures posted in the announcement, there are many good things on the auction list. Many young players who are still online have decided that it is a little bit to make some money while waiting for the auction. When you meet, you can also take pictures of your favorite equipment.

   At the same time, on the Trailblazer.

   The gust of wind lying on the medical bed, looked at his right hand with surprise, his face was full of disbelief.

   That is a robotic hand.

   The bright steel shell looks quite strong and heavy, but it does not affect its flexibility in the least.

   To be honest, it doesn't look like a prosthetic body at all.

   just like it grew out of him!

   He was lying in the trenches at the time, thinking he was going to accompany Ye Shi OB soon, but he did not expect a soldier wearing an exoskeleton to rescue him, screamed, and then carried him on a stretcher.

   In short, he was not replaced, and seemed to be the only severely wounded person who survived.

   In order to save him, the Blazer carried him on the operating table, and then injected him with anesthetics... and then the gust of wind dropped the connection.

   I spent an ordinary afternoon in reality. In the evening, Kuangfeng had just put on his helmet with the mentality of trying it out, but he didn't expect it to be successfully connected.

   And when he woke up from a coma, he found himself like this.

   At this time, the door of the infirmary opened.

   A doctor in a surgical gown walked in.

   "How do you feel when you wake up?"

   gust of wind: "..."

   What is this person talking about.

   also doesn't have subtitles.

   Seeing that he was silent, the doctor sighed slightly and continued.

"Sorry, we have tried our best. More than 90% of the tissue in your right hand has been necrotic, we can only do an amputation. Later, we checked your nervous system and found that the neurons were unexpectedly active, which just happened to have a prosthetic implant. Conditions, so I’ll install this robotic arm for you."

"Compared with the bionic prosthesis, this kind of manipulator may be inconvenient in life, but it is quite convenient to carry heavy objects and operate equipment. We do not have the conditions to manufacture the bionic prosthesis, if you expect the kind to be exactly the same as the original one. You can pay attention to the company’s caravan...If you are lucky, you should be able to buy it."

   Kuangfeng couldn’t understand what the doctor was talking about. He just thought that this new arm was absolutely broken, and he wanted to run and pretend to be with his friends now.

   Oh no, I should say good news!

   This wave is more than a loss.

   is really making a lot of money!

   After the doctor finished speaking, Feng Feng nodded sincerely.

"thanks!"

   There was a smile on the doctor's face. Although he didn't understand what he said, he could still tell the patient's expression.

   "You're welcome, this is what we should do!"

  ……

   took the elevator down from the Trailblazer and returned to the action camp. The gust of wind just heard the conversation of the surrounding players.

   "It seems that there is another collection task...to move the stones to the construction site in the northern city, what is it to do? Is it to burn the cement again?"

   "I don't know, don't care about it! Anyway, the mission income is quite high, just check it out."

   After this battle, there seems to be a wave of soft updates in the game. Although the bug of the expansion has not been solved, a lot of new tasks have been added, so that there is a labor shortage on the mobile camp.

   In addition to the task of recycling garbage, the old Luca also released some tasks of collecting stones and driving trucks.

   The trucks previously seized from the legion were evened out to two vehicles on the side of the operation camp. The ally’s fortress seems to have a new move-a modular production tool is deployed next to the action camp.

   Judging from the materials piled next to it, which module seems to be producing cement?

   It’s just that the wind still doesn’t quite understand, what do these people want cement for, are they still planning to build a permanent fortification here?

   At this time, Fang Chang came over and was about to say hello, and he glanced at his arm.

   "Fuck?! What's the situation with your arm."

   There was a mansao smile on that Mansao's face.

   "I don't know, I just woke up like this."

   "Go!" Fang Chang stretched out his hand excitedly to pull him.

   "What are you doing?"

"There seems to be a group of mutant snow wolves on the battlefield in the Elm District. I don't know where they came from. In short, it affects our recovery of cloned corpses." Fang Chang stuffed a bag of javelins into Gale's hands~www. wuxiamtl.com~ smiled and said, "I just took on a mission to drive away mutant snow wolves. Would you like to try it too?"

   Kuangfeng had this plan, and wanted to try the power of the robotic arm, weighed the feather-light javelin bag in his hand, and nodded.

   "Okay...when shall we leave?"

   "Let’s do it now! The truck to Yumu District is just about to start. Let’s go for a ride. Ten kilometers is not far away!"

   The engineers and logistics staff standing next to the cement production workshop looked up at the back of the two players.

   "...Are they going hunting?"

"seems like it."

   "I always feel that the person carrying the javelin is a bit familiar."

"I remember him. It was the one who was rescued from the battlefield yesterday. One of his arms was exploded, and only half of his sleeves were attached to his shoulders! Section Chief Li personally arranged for him to implant the prosthesis, and he is probably awake now. Got it..."

   As they talked, the faces of the two of them coincidentally showed expressions of admiration.

  As soon as he got off the operating table, he went out hunting with a weapon.

   This is too awesome!

(Daily 5/30, ask for a ticket! The people who have waited for a few chapters of the enterprise have slipped away, and the action camp will become a new gathering point, which is equivalent to the second "town" in MM, and its early use will be similar to a caravan station , Associate the northern resource collection point with the hunting ground in the northwestern Yumu District. What name do you think is better, brother Meng? If you have a good name, just use yours!)
