This Game is Too Real

The latest website: in the mud.

The iron bumps in the nest suddenly twitched like an electric shock.

His hands were on the ground, and before it got up from the ground, a gun was already on the back of its head.

"do not move."

Xu Shun stared at this guy intently, ready to fire at any time.

"How to get to... Beijiao." The dull voice floated out from under the armor intermittently, making people wonder if he could only say this.

"What the **** is this guy?" Yu Xiong frowned as he stared at this weird man covered with steel plates. "Is he a human?"

"have no idea."

Xu Shun knelt down and checked the man's armor, and found that the helmet was actually welded to the breastplate.

More than that, the connecting parts of the breastplate steel plates are all riveted, with a neat row of hexagonal rivets, and there is no mechanism to open it.

So here comes the problem.

What to do with shit?

"Can't take it off." Shaking his head, Xu Shun stood up and said after taking a look at the VM, "It's better to leave it to the manager to judge."

If you are a manager, there must be a way.

Yu Xiong nodded, found two guards over to look at this guy, and then went to the prisoner's side.

There are four prisoners in total.

Except for six who ran away, a total of fifteen people were killed in the melee.

Including their leader-the man named Wu Qiu.

After interrogation, it was learned that these people were mercenaries in Boulder City, but they were not from the mercenary group, they were all temporary workers who were not able to do serious work.

As for why you can't get the job, it has its own reasons.

Yu Xiong didn't care about these, but ordered people to tie their hands and feet, rush to squat by the wall, and wait for the manager to come.

The players and the guards are still optimistic about the situation. Since the support came in time, there is no major problem except for a slight injury.

Including the guy who got shot in the leg.

Fortunately, the bullet passed through his leg. It didn't hurt the bones or the arteries. It was unlikely to fall into a disability.

but.

The injury became like this, and he was still an ordinary person who hadn't awakened. In the second half of his life, he probably had nothing to do with the profession of mercenary.

Drilling out of the alley, Roshan Da Momo buried his head with a look of shame, wishing to find a crack in the ground to get in.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I was scared as soon as the gunfire..."

"It's okay, little problem." Sisi patted the big white bear on the shoulder, comfortingly said.

The tail touched his chin and analyzed, "Could it be because there is something missing on the back? I felt that the flesh was quite brave when I was at the experimental base last time."

Sisi was slightly surprised, then he remembered it seriously, and nodded thoughtfully.

"Hey, maybe it's really possible."

"Don't be discouraged! This place is too small to use, I will definitely ride you next time!"

Rourou: "Wait, wait a minute, I always feel something is wrong—"

Sisi: "Illusion."

Tail: "Yes! It must be your illusion!"

Flesh: "???"

On the other side, with the help of Fujito and Sesame Paste, the crow jammed by the half wall finally broke free from the pile of broken concrete.

"hateful……"

Pulling off the helmet stuck on the breastplate with great effort, Yaya shook his groggy head and muttered, "The network that was just given to me was bad."

"Are you really okay?" Fujito looked worriedly at the breastplate that was almost dented, and whispered, "Or... you'd better go back and save it."

"No need, don't worry, I'm fine!"

Shaking the bumped head, Yaya put on a smile that she believed to be reliable, and gave a thumbs up, "Don't worry Fujito, I will definitely send you safely!"

Fujito held his forehead with a headache.

"How can you relax me like this..."

Yaya: "Hey! You woman, aren't you touched?"

Fujito looked away delicately.

"A little bit."

What do you say.

Although it is an MMORPG, it feels pretty good to be protected.

Looking at the two people who were in a good relationship, Sesame Pudding in a low voice: "By the way, who is the person who helped us just now?"

Yaya was stunned.

"Yeah, I remember it when you said it."

Fujito: "Maybe... it's Boss Xia?"

Yaya looked at her in surprise.

"Boss Xia?!"

"Well, I guess."

Fujito silently pointed to a street corner not far away.

An azure-blue painted power armor and a vigorous figure are walking toward this side from the end of the street that is golden-plated by the setting sun.

Behind Boss Xia, he was carrying an LD-47s with a scope-the "Scythe" semi-automatic rifle.

The cat's ears moved lightly, and a surprised expression appeared on the sesame face.

"Manager?"

"Ok."

Fujito nodded, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"It seems to have triggered the plot."

...

Qian Lai, who had been hiding next to the two-headed cow, walked out of the alley while patted the ashes on his clothes, and just happened to ran into Chu Guang coming from the west.

There was a surprised expression on Qian Lai's face, obviously he didn't expect to meet this big man in the northern suburbs here.

"Manager...sir?"

Chu Guang looked at him and said.

"are you OK?"

"I'm fine, thanks to your subordinates, otherwise we may have lost more than one cow today."

Qian Lai admitted that he had been rash before.

The strength of these people is not weak.

Although it seemed unreliable, their insight and combat effectiveness were much stronger than he had imagined.

"You should say this to them."

Chu Guang nodded and walked towards the weird man in armor.

Beside the armored man, Xu Shun and two guards watched.

Until Chu Guang walked in front of him, he was sitting against the wall, repeating the sentence like a repeater in his mouth.

"How to get to... Beijiao."

"This is Beijiao, and I am the manager of this place," Chu Guang said while looking down at it, "Explain your intentions."

Responding to this sentence, the person wearing the armor slowly raised his head and hugged the helmet with his hands.

Chu Guang caught a glimpse of scarlet from the leaky mask.

I don't know if it is an illusion.

He always felt that these eyes looked familiar.

At this moment, with a sudden "click", the weird man in the armor removed the helmet from the breastplate.

Seeing his face clearly, Chu Guang was slightly taken aback.

Xu Shun and the guards who were standing by the side changed their expressions wildly, and quickly raised the rifle in their hands and aimed them at the rotten head.

"It's a creeper! Your lord!"

"Wait a moment!"

Raising his hand to stop the guards who were about to shoot, Chu Guang stared at the scarlet eyes and rotten face, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"your name?"

It's really strange.

Can the slime mold heterogeneous actually speak human words?

The rotten face gasped lightly, and no rational color could be seen in the scarlet pupils.

Chu Guang was slightly disappointed in his heart.

However, just when he was about to give up this meaningless thing, the rotten face suddenly opened his mouth slowly.

"Bar...Batch."

The guards standing around were shocked when he saw this guy talking.

Including Xu Shun.

Although there are some alien species that can speak humans in the outpost, in his cognition they are all refuge technology, pets in blue coats.

And such a wild alien species-and still a slime mold alien species, opened his mouth and said human words, he had never heard of such an outrageous thing!

"Batch?" Chu Guang stared at him and asked, "Your name is Bach?"

The man nodded slowly.

"Yes."

Chu Guang frowned.

This name...

It sounds familiar.

...

"The analysis results are out."

Floor B3 of Vault 404.

Medical laboratory.

Heya, who walked out of the laboratory, skillfully handed a screen modified from a VM to Chu Guang's hand, which was filled with a series of test results including blood tests.

As the expert who has the most say on alien species in the refuge, the person who hopes to figure out what happened to this "Batch" man is probably only this silver-haired SSSR.

However, Chu Guang couldn't understand what was written on the tablet.

"What's the matter with him?" Chu Guang gave the tablet back to Heya after taking a look at it pretendingly.

Heya explained patiently.

"Variant slime mold infection, and the erosion rate is as high as 67%. This situation is quite rare, because according to my research results, the relationship between the slime mold alien species and other organisms should be a predatory relationship. Do you remember that creepers are slime molds? Fruit body."

Chu Guang nodded, indicating that he still remembered.

"What about him?"

Heya: "Symbiosis."

Chu Guang was slightly stunned.

"...Symbiosis?"

Heya sighed, and her forehead was supported by her arms around her chest.

"I don't care about common sense of science... In short, he is now about half human and half turned into slime mold. At first the slime mold ate most of his organs, but he didn't know why he suddenly decided to let him survive, so he evolved. It became a fruit body with similar organ function, replacing his original organ."

The fruit bodies evolved from the mutant slime molds can imitate the behaviors and characteristics of the swallowed creatures, such as gnaws, creepers, martyrdoms, and even tyrants.

However, after the organ is eaten, it is rare to replace the original organ and form a symbiotic relationship with the host.

Even summer salt, which talks about urban legends, is unheard of.

Chu Guang squeezed his eyebrows.

"In other words, he only has one brain left?"

"Perhaps three-quarters?" Heya hesitated for a moment, thinking for a moment, "The infection of slime mold stops after reaching the cerebellum, and at least half of the spinal cord has been replaced by fruiting bodies formed by slime mold."

Chu Guang: "How long can he live?"

Heya: "I don't know, maybe I can live forever."

Chu Guang was stunned for a moment.

"Always live?!"

Heya nodded.

"Well... because according to my research results, there is no Hayflick limit for mutant slime molds, and even with the passage of time, the organ functions formed by those fruit bodies will be further improved, and the functions will be more powerful than before. Of course, there are also Another possibility is that when these slime molds'feel' the host is no longer necessary, it might eat the remaining part of the brain."

"Wait a minute," Buggy, who was sitting next to the scanning bed, slowly raised his steel-covered hand and said in a weak voice, "I am like this, is there any help?"

Chu Guang glanced at this guy unexpectedly.

"you're awake?"

He thought this guy could only speak a word.

"I injected him with an inhibitor to inhibit the activity of the slime mold that invaded the nervous system," Heya looked at Bach sitting on the scan bed and continued, "I don't know if I can answer this question if there is any help. It is probably impossible for you to completely restore the original appearance, but if you can accept the transformation of the prosthetic body, you can completely remove the alienated organ and replace it with a bionic prosthetic body."

She is like that.

The bionic prosthesis can not only extend the life span, but also is far more reliable than the original organs of the organism. But Heya also knew that replacing most parts with technology is not acceptable to everyone.

Chu Guang coughed slightly.

"There is no black box for the production of bionic organs in Refuge 404... Actually, from another perspective, aren't the organs in your body also considered a bionic organ? And it can still evolve actively."

Heya looked at Chu Guang in surprise, after thinking for a while, nodded and said.

"It's really kind of you to say that."

There was an expression of pain on Buggy's face.

"This feeling is not good at all."

Chu Guang: "Does it hurt?"

Buggy shook his head: "That's not the case, let alone the pain, I have lost the pain, I can't even feel that I'm still alive."

Chu Guang: "What did you encounter on earth?"

Buggy was silent for a while, then sighed softly.

"Then it will be a long story..."

That was the winter of 211 in the Wasteland era.

Bach, who was far away in Ideal City, had just received his graduation certificate and was planning a graduation trip, but at this moment, he received a letter from a good friend from afar.

Luo Hua described in the letter that in the far west, in the middle of the Central Continent, there is a good place called Qingquan City.

There lived a nice group of people from Vault 404, which had just been unblocked, and they had recently become permanent partners of the company.

Of course, the most important thing is that there is amazing food and culture there. Those blue coats master many cooking methods he has never seen before, and can even turn those hard-to-swallow alien meats into delicacies.

In Bach’s perception, food should be related to technology. Those waste-seaters who can cook food are already worthy of praise. Can they know what delicious food is if they don’t have enough rice? Let alone culture.

But this letter still aroused Bach's interest. He happened to be boring in Ideal City to the point of moldy. Although life here is organized and regular like a code on a holographic screen, it is precisely because of this that the necessary errors are lacking.

Ever since, at the instigation of a good friend, he set the destination of his "graduation trip" in the middle of the river valley province, and stepped into the western wasteland with the idea of ​​exploring the unknown.

However, what he didn't expect was that this journey was full of successive accidents from the beginning...

"...My father is a wine merchant. I initially followed the caravan sponsored by my father to the western part of Yunjian Province. Since then, I have been on the road alone. I have hired guards, guides, and doctors to do a good job. The preparations were made to advance along the track trail of the Trailblazer. Everything went as planned. However, when I was passing by Yongdong City, there was still an accident."

"There is no one there, just like a dead city. The survivor colony that should have appeared on the map, no one knows where they went, out of caution, we plan to withdraw from the city. But at this moment , We were suddenly besieged by thousands--perhaps tens of thousands of eater."

Buggy took a deep breath.

"I thought I was dead when I was thrown down by the eater, but when I woke up, I found that the eater around was gone...including my teammates. I always thought it was a nightmare. It wasn't until I found a mirror that I realized that the real nightmare had just begun."

Bach's Adam's apple moved and continued.

"From then on, I became like this."

Heya and Chu Guang looked at each other and couldn't help but say.

"This is too weird."

Chu Guang nodded.

"really."

When he heard the first half, Chu Guang had already figured out the identity of this Bach, who was Luo Hua on the previous Opener, and said that he would introduce him to his engineer friend.

However, Chu Guang still had some doubts in his heart for the second half of Bach's words.

It is not uncommon for players to die occasionally in the tunnel, but he has never heard of any player being parasitized by the slime mold alien species.

As Heya said, the first reaction of the fruit body of the slime mold to the captured prey is to eat it directly, turning it into a nutrient for the production of spores.

It was the first time he heard that someone had been turned into a "person" by slime mold.

Baki gave a wry smile, lowered his head and continued.

"In short, after that, the alien species seemed to lose interest in me. The slime mold alien species regarded me as the same species, and the mutant hyenas were not very hungry and would not give me their mouths. Even if they did, they would only eat me. A hand...may also be a leg. But it doesn’t matter, because you don’t feel the pain at all. The lost hands and legs will slowly grow out after a week or two, and they will be stronger than before. Go to the back of the hyena I can't bite me anymore, and I have become what I am now."

Regeneration of severed limbs? !

Evolution of regenerative limbs? !

Damn it.

This ability is a bit awesome.

After listening to this guy's description, Chu Guang's face was filled with surprise.

He bet that if there is a choice, many players are willing to exchange "life" with him. Apart from this "sequence" being a little ugly, he can hardly think of any weaknesses. As long as his head doesn't break, wouldn't he be able to live forever?

"Are you envious?"

"That's not..."

"No, I can feel it," Bucky shook his head, continuing with a bitter expression on his face. "You don't understand this feeling at all. I have never been to a human survivor colony since then, and Seeing that people have to stay far away, they don’t believe that I am a human at all. Even if I tell them this is an accident, they will drive me away."

Chu Guang: "... Then you can't make your own armor, right?"

Bach: "I ran into a slave trader when I entered the river valley province."

Chu Guang: "Slave trader?"

"Well," Buggy nodded, "That guy was the only good person I came across along the way who was interested in me. He said that he would take me to the wandering swamp and sell it to people in the academy for research. I thought about it. Maybe the academy can really understand what happened to me, it seems good to be sold to the academy, so I just followed him."

"The man found a blacksmith and made me a set of steel armor so that I could easily enter the survivor’s settlement without attracting attention. However... the plan would never keep up with the changes. His slave rioted because of some things. Hanged him to a tree."

"I don't know how to get to the college at all. Ask the slaves and they don't know. They just want to go home. I can only walk the rest of the way. At this moment, I suddenly remembered what Luo Hua told me. There is a place called Refuge No. 404 in Qingquan City, so I continued to walk west, but my physical condition suddenly deteriorated as I walked, and my consciousness began to trance... It's hard to describe that feeling, just It seems that there is a rope between my soul and my body."

Heya cut in.

"It should be that time. The slime mold has invaded the nervous system. I can perform a minor operation on you in a while to prevent the slime mold from spreading to the nervous system."

"Thank you," Buqi took a deep breath, and looked at Chu Guang pleadingly, "Later I only remembered the northern suburbs of Qingquan City, and then I walked all the way here...this is all my experience. I am now I don't know what to do. Can you help me?"

"Of course I will help you. Your friend Luo Hua is also my friend. He has helped me a lot. What's more, you came to me on the way to this kind of thing. I can't leave you alone. "Chu Guang then looked at Heya, "Apart from replacing the bionic organs, is there a way to restore him to his original state?"

Bionic organs are too expensive.

If you just change your eyes, hands and feet, if you change the whole set from blood vessels to skin, I am afraid that few rich people in Ideal City can stand it.

Many things are non-renewable resources. Just like nuclear fusion, there is more than one dimension difference between the words "usable" and "created."

Heya shook her head.

"His immune system has been completely replaced by the fruiting bodies of slime molds. Strictly speaking, it was not that he accepted those slime molds, but those slime molds allowed him to keep his brain and dominate the body that had become a foreign species. Compared with To replace the bionic organs, I actually recommend changing the body directly...how about putting the head in the petri dish first?"

Buggy hugged his head in pain.

"Then I might as well die..."

Heya's eyes lit up and she was about to urge her to say something. Chu Guang, who saw her thoughts on the side, gave a light cough, interrupting the guy's words that had almost reached her mouth.

"I don't think changing the body of the machine will necessarily be more optimistic than the current situation. Anyway, you can live here for a while. There is no other place to go like you are."

After a pause, Chu Guang continued.

"By the way, you just talked about the graduation trip... What major are you in?"

Bach: "Materials Engineer."

Chu Guang was pleasantly surprised: "Materials science engineer? How specific? What are you researching?"

The expression on Buggy's face is a bit subtle.

"Carbon nano-direction...but you still don't expect too much of my professional ability. I may know more about wine and food."

His diploma is mixed.

This situation is not uncommon in Ideal City, especially for people like him who have no plans to engage in this business, and don't have to worry about wearing gangs.

Bach originally planned to go back to inherit his father’s wine business after the trip, and open up markets outside of Yunjian Province, but now let alone go back, he didn’t even dare to let his father know that he had become such a ghost. .

He can be sure that his father will not spend the wronged money to replace him with a mechanical prosthetic body that can't reproduce offspring, but will choose another one without hesitation.

"It doesn't matter, everything is from unskilled to skilled. What you lack is just a little experience, and I can just provide you with an internship opportunity," Chu Guang patted his shoulder excitedly, "As for wine, don't worry. We are not just wine here, there are more interesting things... so can you still drink when you become like this?"

"Of course, my sense of taste is still normal..." Buggy whispered with a guilty conscience, "What are you going to let me do?"

Chu Guang didn't answer. He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the VM. Not long after, footsteps came from outside the door, and Yin Fang walked in from outside.

"What's the matter with me? I'm busy."

Yin Fang, who was standing at the door, had a clearly impatient expression on his face.

Recently, his players have recovered a lot of valuable information from the ruins, and he has been analyzing the valuable clues in those information.

When this guy was busy, he even ate in the laboratory. He probably didn't take a shower for a while. Not only was his hair messy, his beard was never shaved.

But Chu Guang didn't care about these.

"Introduce you to a new employee, this is Buggy. Although...a little scary in appearance, he is a good person."

Yin Fang stared at Buqi for a while.

"crawler?"

There was a bitter expression on Bach's face.

"It was an accident. Am I...really like a creeper?"

Yin Fang nodded with a weird expression.

"kind of."

Looking at Bach who was in depression, Chu Guang coughed slightly.

"Don't judge people by their appearance... Also, this is a D-level prospector from the academy. Haven't you been looking for the academy? He is from the academy, although it's a thing of the past."

"Hello Mr. Bach," Yin Fang still stretched out his right hand, the bionic prosthesis from the college, "what is your specialty?"

"Brewing, and...know a little about the materials," Buggy slowly raised his heavy steel arm, barely shook his hand, and added cautiously, "But I only know a little bit."

Yin Fang's eyes lit up.

"Material? Great!"

Chu Guang looked at him.

"Do you have any new discoveries?"

"Of course! It's part of the information about Zhongzhou Aerospace. Some data about aerospace external equipment needs to be repaired. I just need an expert in materials science. This will greatly speed up the progress of my work." Yin Fang looked at Bach with joy. , "Can I trust your professional ability?"

Buggy actually wanted to say no, because he himself didn't really believe in his level, but the look in his eyes full of expectation made him unable to say anything.

Since he became this ghost, everyone he met wanted him to roll farther, the farther the better.

This was the first time that someone didn't care about his face and said that he needed his help...

Nodding, Buggy said cautiously.

"Although I want to say that making wine and doing business are more suitable for me, but...I can give it a try."

"Very good!"

Chu Guang happily patted the old man on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, you will have a lot of time. In addition to work, of course you can also try those things that interest you. At the same time, we will do our best to find a way to change you back."

Baki laughed bitterly.

"hope so."

He originally planned to use Vault 404 as the starting point for his journey.

But now it seems that my graduation trip seems to have ended early...

Colleges, companies, legions, and the old popsicles of the refuge...The NPC lineup of Refuge 404 is getting bigger and bigger.

Just when Chu Guang settled down the friend from afar, the ten iron horse 60 pan camel machines bought from Boulder City were finally delivered to the industrial zone of the outpost.

Eight of them were sent to No. 81 Steel Plant, and two were sent to Goblin Technology.

According to the task received.

The No. 81 Iron and Steel Plant needs to convert four of them into a large tractor capable of providing 60 horsepower within two weeks and complete a towed four-row subsoiling planter for it.

In addition, there are irrigation canals on the north bank of Linghu Lake and the mechanized mills needed for the granary, which will use two of them.

Looking at the compact and well-designed equipment in front of me, the lone wolf who happened to be helping in the No. 81 Iron and Steel Plant showed a surprised expression on his face.

"Is this a pan camel machine?"

Brother Yu Suo and Brother Levin met and looked at him suspiciously.

"Any questions?"

The lone wolf shook his head.

"It's nothing... I just think it's rare."

Guoluo machines need to consume a lot of wood, which has been basically eliminated in the 1970s, and only a few rural and remote areas are in use.

In his impression, the more common power is 8~12 horsepower, and there are few more than 20, let alone 60 horsepower, a monster comparable to a fuel engine.

but……

This is quite a wasteland.

"The wood consumption of this thing is probably not small."

Brother Levine smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, the most indispensable thing here is wood, which is everywhere from the city to the outside. When the wasteland was opened, a bunch of them were chopped down, which just consumed a little!"

Brother Toilet Suo agreed: "Yes! But we are also studying internal combustion engines recently."

Lone Wolf said in surprise.

"Is there oil here?"

Brother Levine: "There is a crop that can produce oil in the setting~www.wuxiamtl.com~Brother Toilet Suo: "That's right! Although we don't have any seeds, the manager said that he can help us borrow a little from the neighbor's house! "

It's okay to borrow a little.

The lone wolf looked at the camel machine.

"Can I take it apart and study it?"

Brother Levine said readily.

"It's okay! Originally, we also took the calculation to disassemble and study the structure inside."

"That's right!" Brother Suo nodded excitedly, "The manager said it can be removed, as long as it can be put back!"

There was a hint of excitement in Lone Wolf's eyes.

He is curious.

To what extent can this epoch-making MMORPG developer be realistic in the details.
