Infirmary on the B3 floor.

Sitting on the edge of the scanning bed, Chu Guang saw his upgraded attribute panel through the tablet Heya handed over.

To his surprise, he didn't expect that this upgrade actually added two attribute points.

"...Unbelievable, your DNA is more miraculous than I thought. Is Vault 404 the Renlian gene bank? How much improved DNA have you stocked?"

Sitting on the chair opposite him, Heya had an incredulous expression on her face, chatting about her amazing discoveries since just now.

However, Chu Guang, who was completely a layman, didn't understand it at all.

"have no idea."

"I don't know?" Heya looked at him in surprise, "Did the head of the previous refuge not tell you the nature of this refuge when handing over authority?"

"The old riddler only told me that this is the last hope of human civilization."

Have you ever read this sentence on the paper? Chu Guang can't remember it anymore. Because he often compiles Renlian's short stories and background settings on the official website, he occasionally confuses himself as to what happened in this world. What are the things that I use to perfect my "worldview" imagination.

But does it matter?

It's not very important.

He is a pragmatist, as long as it works well.

As for the secrets hidden in this refuge and what happened two hundred years ago, Chu Guang admitted that he was curious, but he also knew clearly that this was not the first priority for him.

Zippered his jacket, Chu Guang stood up from the scanning bed.

"I have to tell you a bad news. I learned through my authority that the concentration of spores in the air in the northern suburbs is rising, and bad things may happen in two weeks at the latest."

Heya's expression gradually became serious.

"On this point, I actually happen to have something I want to report to you."

"whats the matter?"

"Your residents discovered a peculiar phenomenon when they were exploring the tunnel..." Heya took a tablet casually, sliding her index finger gently on the screen.

Soon, a 15-second video appeared on the tablet in Chu Guang's hand.

That is a flesh-red room.

At first Chu Guang thought that the mucus on the wall and floor was all blood and flesh, but after zooming in, he found that things were completely opposite to what he had imagined.

Layers of tiny flesh-red cilia are evenly attached to the concrete structure, and a tuft of flesh-red fruit bodies the size of a refrigerator are attached to the wall, gently agitating like breathing.

Players’ voices can also be heard in the video.

"Sheet...what is this special thing?"

"Maybe it's the Shet of slime mold."

"Not necessarily... I feel a bit like a trap. Look at the cilia, they look like tentacles, but they're a bit shorter."

"Where's the captain? Hurry up and take a photo. It must be a hit on the forum!"

"Take another shot!"

Chu Guang frowned slightly and looked at Heya.

"This is?"

"The blanket formed by the mutant slime mold," Heya said with a serious expression on her arms around her chest. "According to my research, the mutant slime molds attached to objects are all three types: black, brown, and dark green. The color appears in the form of plaque."

"However, when the thickness exceeds 2mm, a fourth form will emerge...that is what you see now."

Chu Guang: "I mean what does it do."

Heya: "Incubate the fruiting body."

Chu Guang's expression was slightly solemn.

"In other words, those gnawing people all run out of this kind of house?"

He has heard of it.

In addition to the mother's nest, there are also things called "incubators" in many places in the city, where spores are produced in batches to simulate the environment of the mother's nest to breed fruiting bodies. Although the efficiency is far less than the brood, but when this

And this is the reason why those slime fungus strains can't be killed no matter how they are killed.

"It's not just the eater, including the creepers, martyrdoms, tyrants, etc. you find... It's theoretically possible to be produced by this kind of thing."

"When I studied the composition of the fungus blanket, I found that in most cases, the fourth form of slime mold has strong self-limiting properties. Usually, after filling a room, it will stop expanding and increase instead. The thickness of the blanket and the number of hatching units."

"However, under certain circumstances, this self-limitation will be lifted."

Chu Guang immediately asked.

"What is meant by this particular situation?"

"I don't know," Heya shook his head, "Maybe the environmental conditions are met, maybe when it thinks it is necessary to expand the population, the fungus blanket will recover part of the fruit bodies that were released before hunting, and quickly quickly Enlarging the area of ​​the bacteria blanket, completely engulfing the original environment, forming a larger-scale hatching room...At this time, their color will turn dark red."

Chu Guang's throat moved.

"... Brood."

Heya nodded.

"I think so too."

The increase in the concentration of spores in the air is one of the important indicators for monitoring "waves".

However, what Chu Guang didn't understand was why the first-generation managers knew this.

Wasn't the mutant slime mold something that was formed after the Wasteland Era?

According to the information that Chu Guang initially obtained, this refuge has been blocked for more than a century. The mutant slime mold seems to have spread after the initial period of the Little Ice Age in the Wasteland Era.

Until his death, the first-generation manager probably never walked out of this refuge, and this is why that person chose to pass on the responsibility and research results to the next successor.

Or……

There were mutant slime molds in the pre-war era?

Or this mutant slime mold itself is some kind of doomsday weapon.

Not knowing what Chu Guang was thinking at the moment, Heya had a trace of worry in her eyes, and said softly.

"The urban environment is too friendly for slime mold. Concrete has a strong thermal insulation performance. Under the condition of adequate nutrition, sewers, subways, abandoned buildings... These facilities are simply natural petri dishes. They are probably more suitable than plants. This city, and this is probably the real cause of the wave."

"Sometimes the more I study, the more powerless I feel... Maybe like Mr. Saiwen said, the planet may be hopeless. The only thing we can do is to preserve the fruits of the pre-civilization and combine it with the story about us. Engraved on the tombstone, left to its next successor."

Saiwen is the manager of Vault 117.

It can be seen that, as a "tomb-keeper", she respects the manager who is firm and benevolent.

However, Chu Guang disagreed with her statement.

"My opinion is exactly the opposite of yours. I don't care about what happens after my death, and I don't want to think about whether I can save it."

Looking at Heya who was surprised and looked at her, Chu Guangyan said concisely.

"But since I'm still alive and standing here."

"Then I have to manage."

...

The edge of the five ring line.

On the messy street, a sturdy wild boar is shaking its mane, burrowing out of the broken windows of the shops along the street.

The snow has melted, and young shoots have been drilled in the concrete stone cracks. Just as it was looking for the delicacy hidden in the soil, a gunshot suddenly came from a distance.

Shot in the head, the wild boar fell down and lay motionless on the ground.

"Pretty!"

Squatting behind the half-collapsed billboard, Li Gou threw his fist in excitement.

This is his first time out hunting.

The hunter in the family had always been his eldest brother Li Niu, but Li Niu entered the factory a few months ago and he was the only one to do this job.

Not far away, Yu Hu took a deep breath, put away the shotgun in his hand, and urged his companion.

"Go to the bloodletter, the meat will be sour after a while."

"okay!"

Li Gou excitedly took the dagger and walked to the wild boar, and followed Yu Hu, who carried the shotgun on his back.

Since Big Brother Chu drove away the old mayor's family, every family of the hunters has replaced them with cheap and easy-to-use rifles.

Hunting with this thing is much easier than with bows, javelins, and slings.

Especially when you encounter a predator, you won't have the power to fight back.

A few months ago, it was impossible for them to have a rifle of their own.

"Hi...This wild boar is quite heavy, I'm afraid it weighs 80 kilograms!"

"let me help you."

The two turned the prey over. Just as Li Gou was about to cut the arteries of the prey for bleeding, Yu Hu suddenly frowned.

"Wait a moment."

As he said, Yu Hu stretched out his hand and opened the ear of the wild boar, only to see a festering scar at the base of the ear.

The scar is very small, only as long as the little finger, with a mane blocking it. It is really easy to overlook if you don't look closely.

"What is this?" Li Gou asked curiously.

"The traces of the gnawing person's scratching, mild infection..."

Yu Hu turned over the sparse hair behind the wild boar's ear with a dagger, then opened the wild boar's mouth with a dagger, carefully observed its teeth, and continued muttering.

"It's too rare."

At the slow speed of the eater, it is basically impossible to catch up with the wild boar.

unless……

Yu Hu swallowed unconsciously.

He has a hunch.

Maybe something bad is about to happen.

Seeing that his cousin stopped talking, Li Gou thought it was a problem with the prey, so he said nervously.

"Then can this prey still be sold?"

"Of course it can. It's just a little skin trauma, and it won't affect its flesh," Yu Hu urged after studying for a while, "Hurry up and get to work, we'll go back early today."

Li Gou nodded immediately, stopped talking nonsense, and began bleeding the prey.

After simply handling the prey, the two tied the wild boar to a wooden stick, each picked a shoulder, and drove nearly ten kilometers to Linghu Wetland Park.

Although the slaughter stalls on Beit Street also collect prey, the price they give is far less refreshing than the blue coats in the park.

Such a big wild boar can now be sold for one hundred silver coins at the outpost, and at the slaughter stall on Beit Street, it can be sold for at most 70 or 80 coins.

It's not a problem for him to earn an extra twenty or thirty silver coins and walk an extra five kilometers.

...

It is already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and it will be evening in a while.

After winter passed, the night would become more and more dangerous, and the two people on the way accelerated their pace unconsciously.

Along the cement road through the woods, came to the south gate of the outpost.

When the two were about to go inside, they saw a row of guards in black coats and rifles standing to the west.

Roughly speaking, there are more than a hundred people.

An azure blue power armor was also standing there, seeming to be reviewing these recruits.

Yu Hu, who often comes here, naturally recognizes the blue iron lump.

That is the power armor of the manager.

"Is this going to fight?" Li Gou's face showed a surprised expression, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

He is different from his older brother Li Niu. He wants to be a soldier more than to go to work in the factory.

The black coat and the Arbiter's rifle are so handsome!

Recently, the guards have also issued helmets and engineering shovel, which in his opinion is simply a man’s dream.

"I don't know..." Yu Hu shook his head and said in a dull voice, "I always feel that something big is about to happen."

Did not disturb Brother Chu's work.

Yu Hu urged Li Gou not to look, and the two took the wild boar to the warehouse together.

It is not Zhao Shu who is on duty today, but another young man who doesn't know his name.

Since the settlement is in silver coins this time, the process is very simple.

After checking that the prey had been bleeding, the man put 7 silver coins and a one-hundred dollar bill into Yu Hu's hands after weighing the prey.

"Has the price of meat risen again?" Looking at the banknotes and coins in his hand, Yu Hu showed a surprised expression on his face.

The guy smiled and said: "It has gone up a bit. The price of a catty of wild boar in the market has now risen to 6 silver coins. Recently, the manager has raised the closing price and inventory limit of meat trading products, if it is not for hunting. , I want to be a hunter."

Of course, although prices have risen a lot, wages have also risen quite a lot. The earliest warehouse clerk's daily salary was only two silver coins, and he had to save money if he wanted to eat meat. Now the daily salary has risen to twelve silver coins, and he can buy one kilogram of meat a day.

But cooking with fire is too much trouble. They used to save money to buy some meat and roast them, but now they simply took the money to the market at the north gate for consumption.

A pair of steamed buns is only a silver coin, and two steamed buns can be filled with a cup of soy milk or corn juice. The total cost is not much.

Compared with the wandering life before, every day here is like a fairy day.

Yu Hu and Li Gou discussed, bought some salt, cloth, soap and other daily necessities with the money in their hands, and added some bullets by the way.

After purchasing these things, there are actually 10 coins left.

The two divided the money. After Yu Hu asked Li Gou to take the things back, he went to the bank and found Xiaoyu.

Compared with the skinny little girl who looked like a reed stick a few months ago, the fish nowadays not only grow taller, but also grow better, with a hint of baby fat on her white cheeks. The **** eyes are the same as before, exactly the same as clear and lovely, just like the water of Linghu Lake.

Yu Hu always worried that his sister could not do such an important job after she settled the accounts, because she always fries the green wheat cakes. In his impression, the people who can manage the books are all stable old men like Old Charlie.

But now it seems that my worries seem to be unnecessary.

Although she is not good at pancakes, she is unexpectedly suitable for counting.

Could it be because the iron pan is too heavy?

Yu Hu suddenly realized this problem and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

I didn't realize it at all...

"elder brother?"

Seeing Yu Hu, Yu Xiaoyu's eyes lit up and he immediately stood up from behind the counter.

After the New Year's party, she hadn't seen her brother for a month.

Yu Hu smiled honestly and said.

"I came to see you for my parents, how are you doing recently? No one is bullying you, right?"

The little fish nodded vigorously, then shook his head like a wavy, with a happy smile on his face.

"Xiaoyu has a very good life! Brother Chu and everyone are very good people!"

Although she was a little uncomfortable at the beginning, she is now able to complete the job very proficiently. Everyone is a very kind person and takes good care of her.

The only thing that made Xiaoyu a little bit distressed was that someone always put the change on the table secretly and turned around and ran away. She had to go to Xiaoqi to check and monitor to figure out who saved the money.

Especially the big white bear, always sneaking up when saving money.

Is it because you are too fierce?

Although Big Brother Chu told himself not to care, sometimes Xiaoyu still felt a little bit sad.

Seeing his sister's lively and cheerful appearance, Yu Hu's face showed a relieved smile.

"That's good!"

"Seeing that you are healthy, your brother is relieved."

Xiaoyu said immediately.

"Are your parents okay? And big brother, I heard that they met a predator on the edge of the Fifth Ring Line the day before yesterday? There was no injury, right."

Yu Hu smiled and said, "No no, don't worry, they are all in good health. And your elder brother's marksmanship is amazing. Last time I saw him shooting a target, he could hit a can 100 meters away."

Xiao Yu has no idea about this distance, but still frowns.

"No matter how good marksmanship is, you can't do it. The guys in the refuge are also very good, but sometimes they still get injured. And you are also second brother. Even if you have a gun, you can't go to too dangerous places."

"I see." Yu Hu scratched the back of his head.

Obviously, he was caring for his sister himself, but he was educated by the little guy in turn.

Where can I go, and where I can't go, does this old hunter myself know?

However, it feels good to be cared about.

At this moment, the azure blue power armor came over here from the west gate.

Seeing Chu Guang, Yu Hu's eyes lit up and said hello.

"Brother Chu!"

"Yu Hu?" Chu Guang opened the visor of his helmet, looked at the young man in front of him and said with a smile, "How did you get today?"

"Hey, it's not bad. I hit a wild boar weighing more than 80 kilograms and exchanged more than 100 silver coins." Yu Hu smiled shyly, but his eyes were proud.

"Not bad!" Chu Guang nodded approvingly, and said with a smile, "It seems that there is roast wild pork on the barbecue stand today."

Yu Hu smiled, but at this moment, suddenly remembered something, so he immediately spoke.

"Right, Brother Chu."

Chu Guang: "What's wrong?"

Yu Hu hesitated for a while, then said. "I have to tell you something. When I was hunting today, I felt that the atmosphere inside the Fifth Ring Road was a bit unusual."

Chu Guang moved in his heart and asked.

"Did you find anything?"

Yu Hu nodded.

"Recently, the alien species has become more dangerous than before. The wild boar I hit today was scratched by the carnivores... It was almost impossible to leave it before."

Chu Guang had a thoughtful expression on his face.

"This is indeed a problem. I have also noticed here. Recently, the gnaws and crawlers in the subway are obviously more aggressive than before..."

Listening to the conversation between Brother Chu and Brother Chu, Xiaoyu's eyes were a little worried, and she couldn't help but whispered.

"Brother, why don't you change to a safer job..."

"It's okay, I didn't go out hunting at night," Yu Hu said with a smile after seeing my sister's worry, "Those eater are going out at night, and they hide in the house during the day."

Chu Guang suddenly spoke.

"That's hard to say."

Seeing Yu Hu looked over in surprise, Chu Guang continued.

"According to the experts in our refuge, there may be a wave in the near future. Even if it is daytime, I am afraid it will not be very safe."

wave? !

Yu Hu's face changed slightly.

"The wave... isn't that happening in the city center?"

Chu Guang shook his head.

"This statement is not accurate. As long as the conditions are met, the wave can happen anywhere."

Yu Hu swallowed.

If he were to say this to him from another person, he would definitely treat that person as a fool.

There is a boulder city on the edge of the third ring road, and there is no brood outside the third ring road. Those who eat are all rushing to crowded places. The northern suburbs are vast and sparsely populated. How can a wave break out?

But this sentence was said by Brother Chu.

In his impression, Big Brother Chu would never make jokes on such serious matters.

"By the way, Yu Hu, how did you think about the things I told you before?"

Yu Hu was stunned.

"whats the matter?"

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"Wait for spring, come over and help me."

"Yes, of course I do!" Upon hearing this, Yu Hu nodded repeatedly and touched the back of his head embarrassedly, "But I'll hunt... I'm afraid I won't be able to help you much."

"How come?" Chu Guang smiled and said, "An experienced hunter and guide is exactly what we need now."

After a pause, Chu Guang looked at Yu Hu seriously and continued.

"The threat of the wave is looming. I plan to set up a hunter's union at the outpost to unite the nearby hunters and the residents of the refuge with hunting talents to investigate into the city along the edge of the Fifth Ring Road."

"I intend to let you be the first president of this union!"

Yu Hu was stunned, feeling a little at a loss for a while.

"Let me be the president? But I have never been—"

"No one is born, I am very optimistic about your potential," Chu Guang smiled slightly and gave him an encouraging look, "Don't worry, what kind of work should be done, and what specific job should be done, I will know how to do it. I told you. You just need to answer me one sentence, yes or no."

Compared to others, Yu Hu is most familiar with the terrain of the northern suburbs. He is not only an experienced hunter, but also a reliable guide.

Although this young man didn't seem to be very clever, he was not stupid. Chu Guang was still very confident in his eyesight.

In particular, the most important thing is that whether it is the Orion on Beit Street or the Orion in other areas in this area, they are familiar with him, and the players are not unfamiliar with him.

It couldn't be more suitable for him to serve as this functional NPC!

The old man was still hesitating, Xiaoyu gently pulled off his sleeve, Nono said.

"Brother, please agree. Working here is definitely safer than going out hunting, and parents will definitely be happy too."

Yu Hu touched the back of his head and muttered.

"You little girl, just went out from home for a few days, and then began to direct your brother to do things."

Xiaoyu said aggrievedly.

"I am not worried about you... and Brother Chu thinks that if you can do a good job, it must be fine."

Reaching out and rubbing his little sister's head, Yu Hu looked up at Chu Guang who was smiling, and said seriously.

"Since you are willing to trust me and give me such an important job, I will do my best!"

Chu Guang looked at him approvingly and nodded.

"Just waiting for your words!"

...

In the evening, Yu Hu returned to Beit Street, intending to tell his father, mother and elder brother about this matter, and come back tomorrow morning.

Chu Guang asked him not to worry, and settle the family affairs first, and then he could report in within two days.

Night fell gradually.

Over there in Boulder City.

The tail after a full meal is touching the slightly bulging belly, coming out of the restaurant with a full burp.

"Hiccups, there are a lot of delicious foods here."

"Emmm...it's not delicious. I think the snack street at the north gate is better." Sisi gave her a slanted look. "It's better to pay attention to your own image."

The tail said nonchalantly.

"What does it matter? Is there a problem with the appetite of the awakened? And anyway, in the game, even if you gain a little weight, you only need to die once."

"Well... Although the resurrection coin has become cheaper, I never expected you to use it in such a place."

They each ate a large bowl of noodles and spent 4 chips.

Objective evaluation, not as good as the little player named Zhang Hai at the North Gate.

The two of them all came to the conclusion that the people of Boulder City are living in the heat of water, and there are no seasonings in the noodles except salt and vinegar!

Where's the pepper?

Does ramen without chili still have a soul?

Sisi unfolded the note in her hand, which wrote what she planned to investigate in her plan.

Now that more than 20 items have been completed, only a few are left.

"The next stop is the tavern."

"Tavern!" Tail's eyes lit up suddenly, "Oh, there must be a lot of mercenaries there, right?"

"Theoretically, this is the case," Sisi glanced around, "But...this street seems to be full of shops, there are no signs that look like pubs."

Brother Fang did not write on his strategy.

It's not like that old man's style that I missed this kind of key information...

The tail said enthusiastically.

"It's okay! Let's explore it!"

"Well, that's what I planned."

The two of them walked on the street for a while, moving on in the direction of the inner city.

Soon a big sign came into the eyes of the two of them.

On that signboard, there was a picture of a girl with a wonderful figure, her back leaning on a wine barrel, and a beer glass in her hand, surrounded by colorful neon lights.

Although the painting style is wilder, it is undoubtedly wine.

"S! I found it!"

"Emmm...I think this shouldn't be the kind of tavern we were looking for."

"What does it matter? Since the game production team made it, it must have its meaning!"

"Huh? It makes sense for you to say so."

To be honest, Sisi is also very curious about how real this game is.

Looking at the expectant tail on her face, she made an expression of "You really can't help it", and then walked over with the tail.

The security guard standing at the door gave them a surprised look, but didn't say anything. After receiving tickets for one person and two chips, they let them go.

The lights in the tavern are shaking, and the music is loud, full of wild and explosive feelings.

The two people who have never been to a bar feel incompatible with the atmosphere here.

Even the most moving tail felt a little uncomfortable.

"Sir, if you don't understand, just ask, how should I pretend to be a frequent visitor when I go to a bar for the first time."

"I think it might be natural to use this as a cafeteria."

The tail looked at Sisi in surprise.

"Hey! Does Sisi often go to such a great place?"

Sisi: "Do you think this is possible for someone who plays games every night?"

It's not like the tavern that adventurers often go to in RPG.

It's a bit like a bar in reality.

Finding a less conspicuous position on the bar, the two sat in the corner low-key.

Soon the bartender brought two glasses of beer mixed with water. Sisi said thank you politely in joint words, smelled the cup, did not drink, but looked at the surrounding environment.

The lights outside the dance floor were very dim, and people around them couldn't be seen clearly, and no one paid attention to them.

Just as Sisi was wondering where to start his investigation, the music in the tavern suddenly changed.

A host walked to the stage and babbled a few words with the microphone, and then a dancer in a forward-looking dress walked onto the stage.

Excited cheers all around.

The sound of the weather even overwhelmed the live music!

The dancers standing on the stage looked at the audience charmingly ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ and started her own performance.

However, it is not the dance itself that is of concern.

It's the clothes on her.

Sisi was taken aback for a moment, with a surprised expression on his face.

That's not Fujito's...

Before she had time to say something, the tail beside her jumped up excitedly as if she had discovered a new world, and pulled her to the stage excitedly.

"I'm giao! Si, look at it!"

"Isn't that Fujito's artwork?"

There was a subtle expression on Sisi's face, as if she had already seen what would happen in the next few hours.

"Um... I saw it."

"Very awesome."
