This Game is Too Real

Shortly after the big mouse riding a "motorcycle" and a group of small mice set off, a pioneer team of 500 refugees had moved from the temporary shelter to the Changjiu Farm.

There are currently about 1,500 refugees stranded in temporary shelters.

Now that the winter is coming to an end, the snow is slowly melting and seeping into the soil. They can't stay in crowded dangerous buildings forever. It is neither safe nor sanitary, especially in spring, it is easy to become a breeding ground for germs.

Walking in front of the refugee team, Jiuli found Luca who was waiting at the east gate and shook hands with him.

"There was a delay on the road, which made you wait for a long time."

Luka said gently.

"It's okay, there is snow on this road. It is not easy for you to come here. I am relieved to see that you are safe."

After a brief greeting, Jiuli was straight to the point.

"Where do we start? Here? Somewhere else?"

Last year, their camp was at the east gate and was destroyed by a blizzard. Today, the remains of the camp are still faintly visible on the ground.

Old Luca looked at Jiuli and said.

"My manager's orders, your home is at the west gate, and the top priority now is to solve the housing problem. The bricks, cement and wood have been delivered to the construction site, and there will be someone who will guide you on how to construct. After the house is built, we will Assign you spring ploughing tasks."

"The land is allocated according to households. Two families have one household with 10 acres of land. For every child in the family, an additional 1 acre is allocated. For those who are 16 or older, 3 acres will be allocated according to the head of the household. ."

"The land ownership belongs to the Changjiu Farm Collective. It cannot be transferred or leased. It is checked once a quarter. Violators will be expelled from the household registration and the land will be confiscated."

"For the first three years, we will provide you with seeds and fertilizers. You only need to hand in half of the harvest to us in return. At the end of the three-year period, the land will not be abandoned, and the land allocated to the household will be taken care of by you. It needs to be turned in 20%, and the rest of the grain is no problem whether you keep it yourself or sell it to the granary."

The refugees were whispering, and everyone's faces were filled with excitement.

"Provide seeds?"

"There is fertilizer!"

"I only used half of the harvest...this is incredible."

Not to mention them, Luca himself felt incredible.

On the wasteland, allowing the helpers to keep 20% of the crops is already considered generous.

However, the manager not only allowed them to keep half of the crops, but also generously stated that they would be provided with seeds, fertilizers and professional guidance for the first three years.

"The refugees are refugees because they are rootless. The food grown on the land is one aspect. On the other hand, we need to use the land and work to bind them to us. Don’t be a big deal. Just thinking of Run."

"Each household contracts 10 mu of land. According to the statistics of 500 farmers, they can plant at least 5,000 mu. This 5,000 mu of land will not only allow more than 500 families to live well, but also provide food for thousands of people. , Let the other part of the refugees who stay in the factory fill their stomachs and develop production."

"The remaining 25,000 acres are partly operated by collective farms, mainly farmed by prisoners of war. The other part is contracted and operated by the residents of the refuge, and the grain produced is purchased by the granary."

These are the original words of the manager.

Luca didn't fully understand, but he had a new understanding of the benevolence of the adult.

He hopes from the heart that these suffering people can live a good life.

Such a kind heart is really rare in the wasteland.

Settling down on Jiuli's side, handing over the tools and building materials to their hands, Luca handed over the rest of the work to the foreman and guards, and returned to the farm alone.

In the office, the captain of the guard wrench was waiting for him there.

At present, Changjiu Farm is understaffed, especially in logistics.

In addition to standing guard, the guards occasionally have to undertake the work of communicating with the refugees.

The same is what the manager said.

This is a stopgap measure, and reforms will be carried out later.

After all, for the refugees, a straight black uniform with a large-caliber rifle on the back is far more convincing than a piece of paper full of words at any time.

to be honest.

Literacy education is only in its infancy. Most people don’t even know a few words, and they can’t remember a certain length.

For them, the law is far inferior to a verbal statement from a manager wearing a power armor.

This is more secure than anything.

At least in Qingquan City, the people of the Wasteland recognize this.

"The transportation route to the Yumu District has been restored. At present, the transportation capacity and human resources are very tight. It can only guarantee the supply of 500 to 800 logs per day for the farm... This is on the premise that it does not affect the wasteland reclamation work."

"My lord manager said that wasteland reclamation is the first priority. I will arrange for someone to deal with the wood and hand it over to me after it is shipped to the farm."

Luca paused for a moment, and continued earnestly.

"In addition, the brick factory has prioritized the allocation of production capacity to the long-term farm. We need to build at least 500 houses by the end of the month, and ensure that the three collective dormitories in the farm are completed, and the refugees in the temporary shelter are completely transferred here. ."

The wrench hesitated for a moment.

"Is such a short time enough?"

They also need to prepare for spring plowing, I am afraid it will be difficult to free up a lot of manpower.

However, Luca's answer was beyond his expectation.

"In the beginning, I also felt that this task was probably difficult to complete, but the diligence of the residents of the shelter exceeded our expectations... At present, one-fifth of the wasteland reclamation task undertaken by them has been completed, and the remaining can be removed in at most one week. The tasks below are all completed."

"The manager said that if the situation is optimistic, they can settle another 10,000 mu of wasteland before the 20th."

"Counting the 10,000 mu reclamation task undertaken by the prisoners of war, there is absolutely no problem in completing the 30,000 mu reclamation task before spring plowing."

"In this way, all the labor saved can participate in the construction of houses, and the resettlement progress of the refugees can also be accelerated."

With that, Luca unfolded a picture.

There is a picture of a brick-wood structure house. The overall shape is square and looks unremarkable, but there are all kinds of designs.

"This is a row house designed by the residents of the refuge. It has a 36-square-foot brick and wood structure. The amount of building materials required is not large, and the thermal performance and safety are quite reliable."

The wrench stared at the drawing for a while. Although he didn't understand it too much, he intuitively felt that the bricks and cement used in this house were indeed much less than those in the farm house.

After a long time, he couldn't help but sighed.

"Send the highest respect and gratitude to these respectable people."

Luca also nodded with emotion.

"We really have to thank them, they have given so much."

Wars, natural disasters, famines, diseases...

Even compared with the hardest days in the past, this year's winter is undoubtedly called **** mode.

Without those blue coats, let alone those refugees from other places, few people in the entire northern suburbs can survive this winter.

Not a single person died of hunger this winter, and even a prosperous New Year has passed.

This is almost unimaginable.

Of course, for Luca himself, his gratitude is much simpler.

Without the bargaining chip of the manager, I am afraid that I would have died under the gun of a guard.

He doesn't understand too many principles, and he still doesn't even understand the phrase "stand up and don't kneel" that the manager said to him.

Luca knew only one thing, he saved his life.

Then this life belongs to him.

...

night.

The caravan heading towards Boulder City settled in an abandoned office building.

They emptied the eater from the hall to the corridor and came to the second floor of the office building.

Tie a trip rope to the exit of the safe passage, and the caravan guard responsible for escorting Qian Lai and the others back to Boulder City walked up to Xu Shun and Fang Chang and said to the two of them.

"This is our safe house on the edge of the Fourth Ring Road. We will rest here for one night and continue on our way after dawn."

His name is Luo Guang, and he has been working for Liszt for five or six years, and he is regarded as an old caravan employee.

The other two guards worked separately for two years. The man with the submachine gun on his chest was called Wang Zhong, and the man with a bandage on his right arm was called Kaiya. These were all asked by Fang Chang from Xu Shun.

Before the group came here, they were ambushed by a group of predators. The hapless man named Kaia was unfortunately shot in the right arm.

Those goblins hidden in the ruins can always come out unexpectedly, and they open fire without saying a word, without concealing the hope of Chi Guoguo.

All the people present had a frightened expression, only one had a normal expression on his face, and it was nothing like everyone else.

That person is Fang Chang.

Isn’t it common sense to run into a bandit when running a business?

The production team asks you to bring a gun, which will naturally give you a place to use it.

Don't do six basic exercises.

He didn't think it was strange at all, but felt that the people were too disheveled.

"Safe house?"

Xu Shun glanced around, there were molds in the corners and the annual mutated fungus blanket, and he didn't even feel where it was safe.

Qian Lai, who was standing by, grinned and said.

"Don't be nervous, the eater will not pop out of the ground, even if there is a small incubator on the top of the building, it will not suddenly pop up a lot. As long as it is used properly, the eater who wanders in the corridor will instead. Will be our cover."

In the lobby on the first floor, there are hundreds of gnaws. When they came up, they only killed a dozen, and there was still a bunch of them left.

If a predator intends to attack them, they must clean up the eater on the way from the hall to the safe passage.

Even if the predators didn't fire a shot, the melee execution of those who gnawed, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground would be heard by the people on the second floor.

As long as a person is kept guarding near the exit of the safe passage, it can basically be guaranteed to be foolproof.

Qian Lai patiently said to the two rookies who had never traveled far away: "It is dangerous to light an open flame here. We might have to spend the night in the dark. Did you bring any dry food?"

Xu Shun said.

"Take it."

Qian Lai nodded.

"That's good, there is no place for you to light a fire and cook here."

The dry food of the caravans is nutritious cream. Although there are also wheat cakes, they are so frozen that no one wants to eat them.

Xu Shun took out the warm steamed bun from his arms, then reached into his backpack and took out the pickles in the jar. Using a knife to cut the steamed bun, he poured some pickles on it, then stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite.

The surrounding caravan guards all looked at him curiously, whispering quietly.

"Why is this bread white?"

"Strange food."

"I've seen it in their market...but it's too expensive to sell, and I actually need 4 chips!"

Hearing this, the other two guards showed surprised expressions on their faces, and the eyes that looked at Xu Shun also gave a hint of envy, as if they were looking at a local tyrant.

4 chips for a meal!

This is too luxurious!

Fang Chang ate the steamed buns, which was quickly resolved. He walked to the window and sat down. He took out the notebook in his pocket and took a look at the faint moonlight outside.

There are dense small prints written on it, all his knowledge on the road, and he plans to update it on the forum after he goes offline for a while.

The situation in Qingquan City is completely different from that in the northern suburbs.

They encountered at least two attacks by predators along the way.

For the first time, five people shot them randomly with an iron-barreled rifle, but three were quickly killed, leaving two fled.

There were a little more people coming for the second time. I saw a total of twelve, which was the size of a ten-man team.

Kaia, who was sitting by the wall, treated the wound with alcohol, and whispered in a low voice.

"This group of dogs said! Bully guys who are afraid of hardship!"

Xu Shun looked at him and asked.

"How come there are so many predators?"

Kaiya murmured: "Everywhere, those empty buildings, maybe one window hides the eyes, the place where the bullet can't hit does not prevent the eyes from watching. 80% of the moment we entered the city, they stared at us ."

Xu Shun said suddenly alert.

"Then if they come around..."

Kaiya chuckled.

"Relax, man, not all predators will turn into bone-chewer tribes, just like not all cancer cells will eventually become tumors. At least one-third of the predators are mercenaries before, or Killing the employer, or killing your companions, unable to go back to Boulder City, and unable to muster the courage to start a new life, in the end, you can't stop doing two things and just become a robber. How big do you expect such a scumbag to be. ability?"

Sitting on the side, Wang Zhong interrupted and said: "Our luck is not bad. We met some small businesses. It would still be troublesome if we do big business."

Xu Shun: "...what do you mean?"

"That's what I mean," Kaia shook a bullet with tweezers and shook it in front of him, and said with a cracked mouth, "steel ball, almost 6mm...Thank God, if it's a lead bullet, my arm is 80% useless. NS."

Wang Zhong laughed and teased.

"That won't happen to change the mechanical arm."

Kaia rolled his eyes.

"Come on, I can't afford it."

That kind of expensive equipment is not something people like him would dare to think of.

Liszt and the vast majority of people here are temporary employment relationships. Only a few people can become core employees and serve for the caravan throughout their lives. This is also the driving force for their struggle.

Looking at the intermittently displayed subtitles on the VM, Fang Chang thought for a long time, and continued to write on the small notebook by moonlight.

[... Mercenary is a very common profession in Boulder City, and most of the people engaged in this business are poor people. 】

[At the same time, the severely oversupply of the private armed market has caused the mercenary industry to be extremely involved. The vast majority of mercenaries must risk their lives to earn pitiful remuneration to make ends meet, and this is also the source of the chaos in Qingquan City... 】

[At least one. 】

I closed the notebook in my hand.

Fang Chang was planning to go offline, but for some reason, there was a vague intuition in his heart suddenly.

It's like being caught by something.

Putting the pen in his pocket, Fang Chang's hand unconsciously touched the mechanical compound bow against the wall.

After awakening, he has 7 points of perception.

Although it is not high compared to perceptual players, it is 140% intuitive compared to the average person.

Coupled with the experience accumulated in the battle, his actual perception of danger is not weaker than the low-level perception system.

Noting the movement of his hand, Luo Guang cast a questioning look at him.

"Did you find anything?"

Fang Chang couldn't understand what he was asking, but he could guess a general idea from his expression, so he nodded silently.

The three guards and Xu Shun on the side were immediately alert, and they also clenched their weapons, while Qian Lai hid in a safe place.

He is self-aware of his own combat effectiveness, and at the same time believes that these people can smoothly eliminate the predators without having to act by himself.

Everyone is quietly guarding.

At this moment, Fang Chang's hand had already moved.

He lifted the mechanical composite bow, and an explosive arrow was buckled on the bowstring. After a few silent counts, an arrow was shot cleanly towards the window across the corridor.

Across a distance of tens of meters, the arrow burst into flames at the moment it shot out of the window. The steel **** caught in the paper shell whizzed and flew around. Soon there was a miserable wailing and heavy objects falling from the window. The voice on the ground.

"Enemy attack!"

"It's a predator!"

Kaia chased up to the window directly opposite, while the other two watched the corridor and the door of the safe passage.

If you don't take the elevator, there is the only way up.

The predators downstairs heard the firefight and immediately rushed down from below.

Standing at the entrance of the corridor, Luo Guang held a submachine gun in his hand, and fired a burst of shots at the predators who rushed in. Two of them were killed on the spot, and the other one managed to hide behind the bunker and tried to fight back, but did not fire two shots. An arrow was stuck in his forehead, and his pupils fell backwards loosely.

Xu Shungang took aim and prepared to shoot, Fang Chang had already put away the compound bow.

The battle is over.

"There are three others who haven't come up yet!"

Standing by the window, Kea raised the rifle in his hand and fired two shots at the fleeing back. Seeing that he couldn't shoot, he retracted the muzzle and spit.

"Damn, let these dogs run away!"

After carefully approaching the entrance and exit of the safe passage, Luo Guang confirmed that the predator had retreated before squatting down to examine the body.

"...I am afraid it is the same group of people we met during the day, and they have been following us all the time."

Kaia couldn't help but cursed.

"What do these idiots want to do?"

Wang Zhong smiled and teased: "Maybe it's starving."

The crowd chuckles a few times.

Although there was no danger, it still made everyone nervous.

Luo Guang patted Kaiya on the shoulder.

"There is still some way to go tomorrow. I can get to Boulder City at about noon. I will sleep for a while and then change your shift in the middle of the night."

Kaia gave him a reliable look.

"Okay, boss."

Fang Chang returned to the window and sat down. After confirming that the crisis had been resolved, he glanced at his notebook calmly, then stuffed it back into his pocket, closed his eyes to brew sleepiness, and was ready to go offline.

Xu Shun walked to Fang Chang and sat down.

The manager of course explained to him that when his residents are sleeping, they must do a good job of vigil and not let anyone approach them.

Luo Guang glanced at Fang Chang with his eyes closed, then glanced at Xu Shun who was sitting next to him, and asked in a low voice.

"Is he asleep?"

Xu Shun nodded and said.

"Yes."

According to the agreement, Fang Chang will change his shift around 3 in the morning, and he will not wake up during this time.

"Enviable psychological quality," Luo Guang grinned and continued in a low voice, "I just wanted to tell him that those two arrows shoot beautifully."

Among the mercenaries in Boulder City, if they can choose, few will use bows and crossbows. After all, the output of this weapon is unstable, and the maintenance is much more difficult than a gun.

Only some awakened people, considering their upper limit, will choose a weapon that can better exert their physical advantages.

However, most of these are also mainly thrown objects.

For example, throwing knives and javelins, and grenades, these three are the most common.

Although not as wise as the captain Han Long, Luo Guang can already be sure that this sleeping expert is the awakened one!

Xu Shun nodded and said.

"I will tell you when he wakes up."

Luo Guang gestured with no problem, then put his hat on his face, leaned against the wall, and snored after a while.

The room became quiet.

As if the previous battle didn't exist.

Xu Shun glanced at VM.

When I walked here, there was no signal anymore, and only the short-distance signal from Fangchang's device could be retrieved.

"The edge of the Fourth Ring Line... If you can walk to Boulder City tomorrow, the position here should be right in the middle."

Xu Shun murmured in his heart and made a mark on the map.

This area can be used as a signal transfer station, and caravans from the northern suburbs to Boulder City can also settle here.

However, there are predators around, so you must be cautious.

...

No words for a night.

In the early morning of the next day, the group continued on the road.

As he got closer to the Boulder City, Fang Chang unconsciously speeded up his pace, the excitement in his heart was beyond words.

Has been living in the Boulder City where the official website is concentrated!

The largest settlement of survivors in Qingquan City!

Soon, he will use his eyes to confirm what kind of surprise the game production team has prepared for the players!

Turning a corner, standing on a straight twelve-lane elevated, the excitement on Fang Chang's face was gradually replaced by shock.

A huge wall, as high as twenty stories, stands like a dam between two buildings that reach into the sky.

The mighty feeling of the giant came to his face.

Even if it is one kilometer away, it can be clearly felt!

"Seeing that huge wall is equivalent to seeing Boulder City. The road behind will be a lot easier," Qian Lai showed a relieved smile on his face, "Finally, there is a warm mattress to sleep on, and you can live in it. My home, although it is not big, the environment is definitely better than the hotel!"

Also shocked by the sight in front of him, Xu Shun couldn't help but speak.

"How many tons of cement does this cost?"

Qian Lai said with a smile.

"Who knows, and it's not all cement, maybe some **** or discarded concrete blocks. In short, there is some history. This huge wall is mainly to deal with the threat of alien species and'waves', but there is one thing to say. The wave hasn't threatened the corner of Boulder City for a long time."

Xu Shun: "Unbelievable!"

"It's incredible, but I heard that this settlement was built in the shape of an ideal city...but the specifications are far worse."

Having said that, squinting his eyes to look at Qian Lai in the distance, he paused for a moment, and there was a trace of longing in his eyes looking at the huge wall.

"I hope I can visit Ideal City one day."

Xu Shun: "...Ideal City?"

Qian Lai: "Well, our boss went there once and said that it was the closest place to the pre-war society in the entire wasteland... Although I bet, he didn't know what the pre-war society was like."

Xu Shun didn't quite understand.

For him who grew up in the northern suburbs, it was a very vague concept before the war.

He only heard that people in that era had endless honey~www.wuxiamtl.com~ endless milk, clean water and even a bottle of drinking and throwing a bottle.

And the cans, glass bottles and other treasures they picked up from the wasteland were garbage that nobody wanted at that time, and no one would take a look at them.

On the contrary, those daunting tall buildings are the treasures they flock to.

Everything about the era of prosperity seems to be completely reversed from this era.

Fang Chang couldn't bother to watch the subtitles at this moment, put the headphones on his ears that the manager gave him, and took a dozen photos of Boulder City excitedly.

Although it's out of the communication range and the photos can't be sent back, it doesn't matter.

He can first be stored in the VM's photo album!

After all, this was an opportunity he had exchanged for 250 silver coins, and it couldn't be wasted.

After he goes back, he has to take these photos and write a good article!
