This Game is Too Real

　　 Before leaving Linghu Wetland Park, Chu Guang first took Ye Shi to the mutant leech nest near the parking lot.

　　 "Those mushrooms, we found them there." Ye Shi pointed to the broken concrete pipe not far in front.

　　 "Fortunately you didn't go in."

　　 Chu Guang patted Ye Shi on the shoulder.

　　 "Let's go."

　　 "Our goal today is not it."

　　 I heard that leeches can be used as medicine, but I don’t know if mutated leeches can be used.

　　 The two carefully avoided the mutant leech’s nest, avoided the lush vegetation and concrete ruins, and walked in the sun as much as possible.

　　 walked a long way in the east direction.

　　 Looking at the viaducts and residential buildings ahead, Ye Shi couldn't help asking, who was next to Chu Guang.

　　 "Aren't we going hunting?"

"Yes."

　　 "Then why are you getting farther and farther from the forest?"

　　 "The forest is in front."

　　"?"

　　 Chu Guang did not explain much, silently took off the iron barrel rifle on his back, pushed the bullet into the barrel, and his aura changed.

　　 Not far away is a broken viaduct.

　　 Climbing on the moss-covered concrete load-bearing column, the traces of the years are hidden by the shadow of the green plants.

　　 The mouse with a big washbasin licked the muddy water in the gutter pit, and when it found two uninvited guests who had broken in, it rushed to one side of the grass.

　　 Yeshi raised his head, his pupils were slightly enlarged, and a shocking color was printed.

　　 Behind the broken viaduct, there are tall buildings covered with vines and moss. The thick roots pierced the cracked concrete ground, and the tree trunks rose up in the middle of the road, overturning the car and bus stations that had long been turned into iron slag.

　　 In this green hell, there is a lot of life, and there is also a hidden murderous opportunity that swallows everything.

　　The world in his eyes is too shocking, every frame is like a post-apocalyptic-style artwork, so that Ye Shi even forgets that this is the "game world".

　　 At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of Chu Guang's words.

　　Here is the real forest...

　　 "You have to be careful from here."

　　 Chu Guang opened the safety of the iron-barreled rifle while talking, and explored step by step.

　　 Although this can only be regarded as the northern outer suburbs of Qingquan City and is far from the core urban area, we still cannot relax our vigilance.

　　 High-rise residential buildings, sewers, three-dimensional gardens, parking lots, drone hives, CNC planting towers, magnetic levitation stations and behind every window...

　　All man-made miracles have become natural greenhouses and seedbeds after being abandoned by civilization.

　　 After the nuclear war, there was indeed a long cold winter on this land, but it only lasted less than half a century.

　　 The force of nature reversed everything.

　　 The first to fall was the high-rise building. The moss started along the backlit side, eroded upward, and eventually covered its whole body.

　　 And those non-high-rise buildings were not spared either.

　　 In those years of human decline, it only takes a few pouring rains and a sultry summer to turn this place into a paradise for the barbaric growth of fungi and angiosperms.

　　 They provide abundant food for wild animals.

　　 After the urban drainage system was paralyzed, the freshwater resources in the urban area were even more abundant than the Linghu Lake next to it.

　　 Wild animals and out-of-control poultry began to migrate from forests, lakes, and farms to cities with a more comfortable living environment. Under the triple action of radioactive materials, genetic weapons, and time, they evolved into fierce, bloodthirsty mutants.

　　 They are collectively called alien species!

certainly…

　　 The danger here is far more than that.

　　 Walked carefully along the side of the 76th Street. The surroundings were quiet. When Ye Shi was thinking about where the alien species had gone, Chu Guang's voice came from nearby.

　　 "There is a situation."

　　 In front of a scrapped car, Chu Guang suddenly stopped.

　　 Ye Shi immediately recovered, and stopped, looking around nervously, but saw nothing.

　　 "What happened?"

　　 Chu Guang looked solemn.

　　 "There are traces of survivors' activities."

　　 "Other survivors?!" Ye Shi was taken aback, learning Chu Guang's voice, but couldn't hide the excitement in his tone, "Are they the aborigines on the wasteland?"

　　 finally meet other NPCs!

　　He has been waiting for this moment for a long time!

　　 Chu Guang glanced at him, knowing what he was thinking.

　　 "You don't have to be so excited, this is not something to be happy about."

"why?"

　　 "Because in such a place, strangers are more dangerous than alien species."

　　 didn't explain much to him, Chu Guang knelt down and found a string of cans strung with wire behind the scrapped wheels.

　　 The aluminum can was broken open, and it looked like something had exploded from the fracture, and there was still a faint smell of rotten eggs remaining.

　　 "Excessive sulfur gunpowder, as well as pushpins and iron pieces..."

　　 Chu Guang frowned.

Mutant?

　　 or a predator?

　　 Normal survivors will not deploy tripwire mines near the settlement.

　　 This kind of thing is hard to hurt the alien species with a sensitive sense of smell, in other words, it is for humans.

　　 Judging from the residual smell, the explosion time should be short, at most five hours or less.

　　 Chu Guang turned around and asked.

　　 "When you came out of the underground, did you hear an explosion coming from the east?"

　　 Yeshi shook his head nervously.

"No."

"wait for me here."

　　 Looking at Chu Guang who put down the can and got up, Ye Shi asked nervously.

　　 "What are you doing?"

　　 "Check the situation ahead."

　　 "I can be with you—"

　　 "You, stay here."

　　 Ye Shiben wanted to hold on, but when he met Chu Guang's eyes, he choked again when he reached his lips, and finally nodded slowly.

　　 The coercion from the authority dog ​​made him feel that the man in front of him was not talking to him, maybe he would really be kicked off the assembly line...

　　 instructed Ye Shi to hide next to the old car.

　　 Chu Guang put away the gun, pulled out the sharpened steel pipe from his back, and slid into the building on the side of the street shortly.

　　 Although he did intend to use this player as a bait when he came out, the situation is different now.

Opposite 　　 are other survivors, and most likely they are predators or mutant tribes. The decoy has lost its meaning, but it will startle the snake instead.

　　 Chu Guang's expression was solemn, and the steel pipe in his hand was tight.

　　 The straight-line distance from Linghu Wetland Park is at most 1 km, and it is too close to Refuge 404!

　　Especially now that the players are engaged in production, even if the smoke and sound generated are partially blocked by plants and concrete barriers, they will be discovered by people here sooner or later after a long time.

　　 Keeping these dangers is always a hidden danger.

　　 Chu Guang was ready to kill.

　　 Once he judges that the opponent may pose a threat, he will start without hesitation.

　　 The ten-story building along the street, the safe passage is very narrow, and the small space is covered with moss.

　　 But fortunately, there are no particularly dangerous alien species here.

　　 Around five floors, there were a few fat mutant mice, probably because they felt that they were "a lot of mice," and they grinned at Chu Guang recklessly.

　　 If they run away with their backs to their backs, they must have swarmed up, but this uninvited guest is not afraid at all, so they dare not act rashly if their nature is timid, they only dare to tentatively flutter, screaming and screaming.

　　 This has long been a surprise.

　　 Chu Guang didn't say a word, he moved forward with a tube, pierced the nearest mutant rat, and immediately killed one.

　　All the rats saw that this guy was so fierce, and immediately fled like birds and beasts, got into the entrance of the floor, and disappeared into the shadows.

　　 "It doesn't seem to be a mouse den."

　　 "It should be about ten or twenty..."

　　 A little more, these guys will be hard to deal with.

　　 Swarms of mutant rats, even if they are heavily armed mercenaries, will be tricky, not to mention themselves who only have an iron-barreled rifle.

　　 Chu Guang breathed a sigh of relief, and shook the sharp steel pipe, and shook off the fat mouse and the blood stains.

　　 went straight to the top of the tenth floor.

　　 Chu Guang used the steel pipe in his hand as a crowbar, pried open the rusty door panel, and entered the roof top.

　　 The wind is very strong on the rooftop.

　　 He walked to the side of the rusty water tank and looked towards the east community. The picture he saw really confirmed his conjecture.

　　On the open space in the middle of the concrete building, there stood a wooden camp, with rags and construction debris blocking the outside view.

　　 The survivor strongholds on the wasteland can be roughly divided into two types. One is to live directly in a house that did not collapse before the war, and the other is to set up a stove on the ruins or open space, depending on the surrounding conditions.

　　 Predators living in urban areas usually live in buildings, and such primitive dwellings and fortifications are rarely built.

　　Only mutants with an average height of two meters and a weight of 300 kilograms upwards can build this wooden shack when there is clearly a ready-made house that can be used.

　　 The wooden stakes at the entrance of the camp were sharpened to resemble the fangs of wild beasts, with a few broken corpses clumsily clad on them, and dried blood on the ground.

　　 They eat everything.

　　 is not just fungi, the fruits of plants, even the meat of mutant flies, mice, and cockroaches.

　　Of course, their favorite food is the same kind they used to eat—

　　 Two-legged people.

　　 looked along both sides of the street and searched, and indeed, Chu Guang saw a mutant sentry carrying a metal longbow on the roof of the shops along the street at the end of 76th Street.

　　The green skin looks like the orcs in the fantasy movies, and in fact they are as strong, brutal, rude and bloodthirsty as the orcs.

　　 is two meters tall and the muscles of the horns are wrapped in armor made of metal garbage, and the billboard that serves as a breastplate can even see the "second half price".

　　The two valgus steel bars inlaid on the shoulders are directly detached from the bicycle faucet—this thing has a miraculous effect in dealing with chopping and blunt damage, and it can jam a chainsaw or an axe.

　　 can be said to be quite cyberpunk.

　　 If Chu Guang and Ye Shi continued to go forward just now, until they reached the intersection at most, they would be ambushed by the mutant sentry!

　　 faintly afraid in my heart.

　　 Chuguang's Adam's apple moved lightly, shifting his gaze, and continued to look at the mutant camp in the east community.

　　 Because there are too many obstructions, he can't see how many people are inside. He can only roughly judge from the size of the camp based on experience. The number of mutants should be between 20 and 30.

　　 "Small mutant colony..."

　　 Chu Guang's expression gradually became solemn.

　　 These guys are not easy to mess with!

　　 At almost the same time, a light blue system pop-up window appeared in his field of vision.

　　 [Task: Exterminate the mutant tribe on 76th Street

　　Type: branch line

　　 Reward: 200 reward points

　　】

and many more-

　　 Can the task be triggered even outside the refuge? !

　　 Chu Guang was taken aback for a moment, and immediately tried to exhale the system, but there was no response.

　　 The light blue task pop-up window disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.

　　 It seems that the system can only be opened near the refuge, is that correct, but the task can be triggered anywhere outside the refuge?

but…

　　 These two hundred reward points are a bit ridiculous.

　　 did not hesitate.

　　 Chu Guang immediately put away his weapon, turned and went downstairs, with a bewildered Ye Shi, and quickly left the area.

　　 That's a 200-point reward!

　　 The branch line for summoning one hundred players was only given 100 points, but this reward was given 200. Obviously, this task was not so easy to complete.

　　 Maybe there is a big hole inside!

　　 Chu Guang is not stupid.

　　 He wouldn't be fooled so obviously.

　　 "Master Manager, what did you see?" Looking at Chu Guang who finally stopped, Ye Shi was panting and rested with his hands on his knees, and couldn't help asking.

　　 Chu Guang replied casually, standing still.

　　 "It's a camp for mutants."

　　 "Then we... just left?"

　　 "Otherwise, fight with them? Lost and thrown into the oil pan?" Chu Guang glanced at him, "Think about it with our heads, we only have a gun."

　　 Only one person can fight.

　　 Yeshi closed her mouth and said nothing.

　　 He hasn't turned his head just now, only when the mutant is the NPC of this game, now I hear the manager say that this mutant should be a hostile force?

　　 and cannibalism...

　　 secretly wrote down this information, and Ye Shi planned to share it with other players when he went back.

　　 "It's not a good idea to provoke those beasts now. We need to be more prepared, concentrate on giving them to the car, and get it all done once and for all."

　　 Chu Guang scolded as he walked away.

　　 "It's so bad... The mutant camp is on 76th Street, directly opposite the east gate of the park."

　　 "In any case, we have to be careful!"

　　...

　　 The original hunting route can only be offset!

　　 Chu Guang led Ye Shi around the 76th Street, walked northward along the elevated road and bridge out of the city for about one mile, and found an abandoned construction site.

　　 The area of ​​the construction site is very large. It should be a real estate that has just started construction. One of the buildings has seventeen or eight floors. The other large pits should be the foundation being dug.

　　 Most of the equipment used in construction has been scrapped, and the hanging tower was smashed on the unfinished building, forming a slope.

　　 It can be seen that the quality of this house is still good.

　　Even the crane tower was knocked down by the shock wave of the nuclear explosion, but the concrete building was only smashed into a gap without even hurting the main structure.

　　The steel piled up on the construction site has been rusted, and the cement in the bag has also been hydrated and deteriorated and cannot be used anymore.

　　 But what is surprising is that Chu Guang found a lot of unused blue-gray stones here!

　　 Chu Guang recognized it at a glance. This thing is limestone, and the main ingredient should be calcium carbonate, if I remember correctly, it can be used as a raw material for burning cement.

　　 "Good stuff!"

　　 Chu Guang was overjoyed in his heart, turned out the map, and made a mark on it.

　　Smelting all these limestones into cement, it is not a problem to build two buildings.

　　 As long as Lao Bai unlocks the technology for making calcium carbonate cement, they will not have to worry about the raw materials of cement for a long time in the future!
