This Game is Too Real

That night.

To the west of the second ring, artillery fire and gunfire continued, and mercenaries were fighting with the swarms of alien species under the cover of air raids and artillery fire.

On the contrary, it was the north side that was noisy all night, but tonight is quiet.

At a straight distance of tens of kilometers, there are steel forests everywhere, and the gunfire must be inaudible, but the explosion can always be faintly audible.

However, Zhao Yongxu was not surprised at all.

A group of hillbillies fighting with fire sticks, it is strange that they can deal with the wave.

Presumably the battle last night had exhausted all of their strength, and even if they were not submerged in the raging wave, most of them fled with their tails between them.

Looking at the silent night sky to the north, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.

"These idiots."

If you don't have the ability, you don't know how to stay away. Isn't this asking for trouble?

As we all know, the tide will move towards a dense population and a small number of slime mold species. Whether it is population growth or large-scale removal of slime mold species, things like "hate value" will accumulate.

Of course, it's normal that those hillbillies didn't know.

They can squeeze half of the "Getting Rich Sutra" in "The Voice of Boulder City" in their heads. They may not know a few words, but how many things can they know?

In his opinion, there is no essential difference between those people and the beggars who beg at the entrance of Boulder City, and they can even be said to be the same kind of goods.

Withdrawing his sight from the north, Zhao Yongxu, who was standing by the window of the building, continued to look east.

As an officer of the militia, the front-line commander appointed by the lord of the city himself, beautifully solving the wave threatening the prosperity and stability of Boulder City, is what he should really care about right now.

not far away.

Two arcs flashed across the night sky.

As the four black spots fell one after another, the scorching flame engulfed the entire street and dried every grain of soil on the ground.

A vacuum zone was cleared near the entrance of the underground complex, and the mercenaries began to move forward.

From the West Third Ring Road to the West Second Ring Road, two newborn broods on the surface were destroyed by air strikes a few days ago, but three broods were hidden in the underground commercial complex.

The mutations in the incubator are random and unpredictable at all. Even after a carpet search, it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net.

Especially when the mutation occurs underground.

The underground space under the ten-thousand-foot tall buildings is intertwined with the rail transit, densely packed like a spider web or a ball of yarn entangled in a ball.

It is said that in the remote era of prosperity, only quantum computers can help people find the fastest way home.

It is a pity that Boulder City does not have a quantum computer that can ask for directions, nor a strategic weapon that can reach a depth of tens of meters or even a hundred meters.

But it doesn't matter if there is none.

They have enough cannon fodder and sufficient logistics.

With the support of indirect and direct firepower, even the occasional two powerful evolutionary entities cannot be their opponents.

If you are optimistic, a brood hidden underground can be solved tonight.

If you are not optimistic, you will have to wait another two days at most.

Zhao Yongxu quietly waited for the good news to come from the front line, and at this time, the voice of the pilot came from the communication channel.

"The air strike is over, the target has been cleared... is returning."

"Good job, go back and rest, there is no more work for you tonight."

As soon as he said this sentence, Zhao Yongxu's heart suddenly moved, and then he added another sentence.

"By the way, when you come back, take a detour to the north."

"I want to know the situation of the North Fourth Ring Road."

He didn't need to worry about what the northern suburbs became.

The reason for saying this is purely to satisfy his personal curiosity.

The pilots on the mission didn't care about so many, and replied concisely.

"receive."

The two arcs drew an arc in the air and detoured a long way to the north.

Zhao Yongxu waited for a while.

After a long time, a report came from the communication channel.

"It has arrived over the North Fourth Ring Road, and no abnormalities have been found."

"Crossfire."

"I didn't see... it's pitch black here."

It seems that not only the artillery fire has stopped, but even the gunfire has stopped completely.

Zhao Yongxu chuckled in his heart as expected, but at this moment, the voice that had paused for a moment sounded again.

"Not only the North Fourth Ring Road, the Changling Elevated Road is very quiet, no open flames have been found...but from the north to the Fifth Ring Road, you can see sporadic lights."

Zhao Yongxu was stunned.

Sporadic lights?

The survivors there did not leave?

Could it be that they have solved the wave...but how is it possible!

The face was full of weirdness, and Zhao Yongxu immediately continued to ask.

"Where is the clock tower on 65th Street? How is the situation there?"

There was silence in the communication channel for a while.

A certain voice soon came.

"We are now over 65th Street. A large amount of plaque was found on the wall of the clock tower, confirmed to be the remains of the mother nest..."

"There should have been a battle here before. The battle was quite tragic. There were corpses all over the ground... but they won."

The whole cigarette caught between the fingers fell to the ground.

Zhao Yongxu's eyes widened, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"The brood wreckage? Are you sure you read it right?!"

The pilot answered in an affirmative tone.

"...I can be sure!"

After the cruise mission ended, the aircraft began to return home.

Looking at the sky to the north outside the window, Zhao Yongxu was silent for a long time without saying a word.

He couldn't figure it out.

Without the support of aerial firepower, how did those people use only earth artillery shells and iron-barreled rifles to kill the alien species that flooded like a tide.

There was a long, long silence before he squeezed out half a sentence from his lips to fill up the inexplicable whisper.

"…How can this be!"

…

"Damn, the explosion last night was like thunder... Who knows what happened there?"

"You mean the south side? I heard it too!"

"It's the wave. Those blue jackets have been dealing with that thing for the past two weeks. I heard that the frontline is very lively."

"Langchao? I have come to Qingquan City so many times. This is the first time I heard that the wave will go north."

"Maybe this year is different from previous years? After all, it was not so lively last year."

"It's strange, where else can Inspur know where there are too many people?"

"You didn't see it at first sight. My uncle who served as a soldier in the Boulder City Militia told me that every eater you killed outside will come back to you in the form of a wave in the spring of the following year."

"Don't be nonsense, it's so mysterious as you said, the survivors in Qingquan City have died early!"

On the North Gate Street of Changjiu Farm, the road hotel next to the trading station, the first floor of the shop is full of coveted noise.

Whenever it gets dark, this place becomes a tavern for mercenaries, merchants and caravan guards.

Some people ate meat and drink, some punched and played cards, and some people and strangers next to each other talked about what they saw or heard on the road, just to earn a glass of beer.

As we all know, where there is wine, there are stories. Although many stories are made up-to-date, occasionally a sentence or two of information that sounds a little bit valuable is added to the nonsense rumors.

Therefore, regardless of whether they live or not, mercenaries and traders like to come here to sit and kill time.

"My people and I need to stay another night."

Sun Shiqi, who walked to the side of the bar, awakened Old Hook who was dozing off at the back.

In such a noisy place, it's really a shame that he can fall asleep.

Opening his muddy eyes, Old Hook raised his eyes and looked at the young man standing in front of the bar, and yawned.

"No problem... Why did you suddenly plan to live one more day? I remember you were anxious to go back and make a fortune?"

"The order has been postponed, it's really unlucky..." Sun Shiqi muttered and sat down in front of the bar, "Give me another beer, or the one with water."

Not only did his orders stop, but all the arms orders for the entire Changjiu Farm were postponed for one day, saying that the inventory in the industrial zone was sent to the front line.

The little girl named Shuanghe came to the hotel to express her apologies to herself, and said that the trading station was willing to compensate him for the accommodation fee of 10 silver coins.

Although Sun Shiqi wanted to complain, the cost of staying here for an extra day is not just 10 silver coins. The mercenary’s salary and board and lodging expenses are paid by himself, but it seems that the girl’s apology is quite sincere. , He didn't embarrass her anymore.

Besides, it's useless even if it's embarrassing. There's no other way.

There is a battle on the front line, and the bullets sent to the ammunition depot can never be dragged back.

When encountering unreasonable survivor settlements, it is not impossible to rely directly on the goods until next year, and it is not too much to postpone it for a day or two.

It is impossible to do business in the wasteland without taking some risks.

"We are not Boulder City. We don't sell fakes with water."

When selling things, he didn’t forget to put a label on his neighbor. Old Hook walked tremblingly to the barrel, unscrewed the silver faucet, took a cup with a wooden cup as thick as his thigh, and returned to the bar. Slap on the table.

"5 silver coins."

"It's on my account."

Taking the wine glass made of wood, Sun Shiqi took a look inside.

Good guy, he doesn't know whether the beer is mixed with water, but the foam alone has piled up half a glass.

He has found out now that what the hotel earns is not the room fee at all, but the consumption of the guests in the store.

According to this selling method, a barrel of beer can be exchanged for a cow.

It's so dark!

"How is the battle on the front line of the Northern Ring Road?"

Old Hook replied casually.

"It has ended."

"It's over?" Sun Shiqi showed a surprised expression on his face, suspecting that his ears had misheard, "You mean Inspur?"

Old Hooker: "Otherwise what else can it be?"

Reducing the surprised expression on his face, Sun Shiqi said with a smile.

"I just didn't expect it to be so fast."

The usual wave will not end until late March.

And this hasn't even arrived at the end of February.

Without further inquiring about the wave, Sun Shiqi habitually approached the wine glass and sniffed, smelling the fragrance of wheat sprouts.

"You brewed it yourself?"

Old Hook replied casually.

"Brown Farm's malt and hops, coupled with the special fermentation process of Refuge 404, I promise, this is a great wine that you will never drink in a tavern in Boulder."

This line is too proficient.

So much so that Sun Shiqi always felt like this guy had memorized it.

However, this is not the focus of his concern.

Sun Shiqi pointed to the wine barrel behind him and asked curiously.

"How much does this barrel of beer cost?"

Old Hook's eyes lit up, and a happy smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

"Are you interested? 500 silver coins sold to you."

500? !

This wooden barrel is only 50 liters at most, maybe 40 liters or so. Whether it can be filled with a hundred wine glasses has to be questioned.

Fools buy it!

Sun Shiqi rolled his eyes, took a sip of beer, and did not answer Old Hook's words.

He recently made a small fortune.

But he is not stupid.

The smooth taste made him feel comfortable. Just when he was about to inquire about some business information, the wooden door of the hotel suddenly opened, and a dusty figure walked in.

Old Hook looked at the man and asked skillfully.

"Eating or staying in a shop?"

"Neither, I'm here to find someone..."

Noting Sun Shiqi standing on the edge of the bar, Zhou Nan's eyes lit up and he quickly walked over to him, "Hey, friend, I'm looking for you!"

Sun Shiqi recognized him and remembered that he lived in the hotel opposite. When he first came to Changjiu Farm, this person invited him to go to Boulder City with him.

"Bring him a beer... two more charcoal-grilled lizard meats, which will be charged to my account."

"Good." Hook turned and walked towards the back kitchen.

Sitting on the bar stool next to Sun Shiqi, the merchant from the south said with a smile happily.

"thanks!"

"You're welcome," Sun Shiqi looked at him and asked, "What can I do for you?"

"It's okay, of course I won't bother you." With a smile on his face, Zhou Nan continued, "That's it. We plan to leave for Boulder City at noon tomorrow. How did you think about what I asked you about yesterday? "

Sun Shiqi made a helpless expression.

"My order is postponed, and I don't know if it can be delivered tomorrow. Go ahead, I'm afraid I will have to stay here for a day or two."

Zhou Nan said regretfully, "That's really a shame."

Sun Shiqi looked at him and asked curiously: "Have you gathered enough manpower?"

Zhou Nan smiled and said, "No, but I heard that the battle near the North Fourth Ring Road is over. Those blue coats have solved the brood. Regardless of whether the wave knot in other places is over, at least the wave in the northern suburbs is over. Now It’s the best time to go to Boulder City! My friends and I studied the map carefully and walked west along the North Fifth Ring Road, and then north again, we can reach our destination safely."

Sun Shiqi looked at him enviously and said.

"...Is it convenient to ask what kind of business you plan to do?"

Most of the businesses that everyone can access are similar, and Zhou Nan didn't deliberately conceal it, and said with joy.

"Salt and sulfur, these two things are the best sellers there, especially during the wave! Oh yes, there are also gas masks and devil cloths from the trading post."

Speaking of this, Zhou Nan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"There are so many good things here, and they are so cheap! Do you know how much the nutritional cream is? The wholesale price of a ton is only 299 silver coins!"

299 silver coins...

Equivalent to 1.5 assault rifles?

The currencies in the wasteland are strange and strange, even if the currency value of the same currency is different in different regions, Sun Shiqi subconsciously made a conversion in his head.

When he realized what the price meant, he was shocked.

"Are you sure?! The price of two assault rifles can be exchanged for a ton of nutritional cream?!"

In Boulder City, the retail price of nutritional cream is 1 to 2 chips per kilogram, and the wholesale price is 300 to 400 chips per ton.

Replaced with a drone assault rifle, at least two!

And this is based on the latter's price is also not cheap.

Noting the surprise on Sun Shiqi's face, Zhou Nan glanced at him strangely, as if by accident, some people didn't even know about it.

However, thinking that this dear friend had just arrived just two days ago, Zhou Nan felt relieved, and continued with a smile.

"Isn't it amazing? I was taken aback when I first knew it! I suspect that the nutritional cream produced by Didiwei Food Processing Factory costs less than 200 silver coins per ton! If it weren't for the money, I would think Set up a factory!"

Longjiu Farm’s banks can borrow, but not everyone can borrow.

Unless two conditions are met.

Either there is technology.

Either have equipment.

Or, it has enough "contribution" to the local economy.

As a merchant from the south, he happened to have none of these three things.

However, this did not prevent him from transporting the nutrient cream to the south for food or livestock, and then transporting the livestock back to exchange for silver coins.

Zhou Nan studied for a whole day yesterday and found that the demand for livestock here is quite strong. A two-headed cow is sold to Changjiu Farm, which can be exchanged for three or four thousand silver coins, less to say!

Pulling two or three tons of nutritional cream to the south, with the exchanged local currency, you can easily buy one or two two-headed cows from the farmers and ranchers there.

Seeing this friend's eyes were full of heart, Zhou Nan asked with a smile.

"Brother, do you want a partnership? We can pool some money to start a factory. I have researched that as long as we buy some second-hand equipment from Boulder City, we can start this factory with 200,000 chips."

Sun Shiqi admitted that he was indeed moved.

But after hesitating for a long time, he finally shook his head.

"...I admit that this proposal is tempting, but it's too far to go to Jinchuan province, and it might take half a month to go back and forth."

The northern suburbs have the weapons and food that Honghe Town lacks the most, while the latter has mines and people needed by the former.

Slaves and mines brought in from Honghe Town and sold here, replaced with rifles and food and then dumped back, can also make a lot of money.

There are many ways to make a fortune, and he can't eat them all by himself. It is the kingly way to manage this trade route well!

Sun Shiqi had already thought about it.

He plans to save some money to buy a few trucks, form a fleet, and take down the copper mine business from here to Honghe Town.

The demand for copper ore here is the strongest. It will be used to lay wires and make bullets, and the price is always so stable, and the cost-effectiveness of transportation is much higher than that of steel.

After earning hundreds of thousands of silver coins, he plans to buy a piece of land on North Street, first build a warehouse, and then build a mill.

If you are lucky to catch up with the autumn harvest, you can grind the harvested corn and wheat into flour, whether you sell it to Honghe Town, Boulder City or Garbage City, you can make a lot of money.

The unit price of food is not high, but the gross profit is never low. Not everyone wears shoes, but everyone has to eat.

Last year was a cold winter.

This year should be a fat year, and food prices must be very cheap.

Sun Shiqi was thinking about the future in his heart. Zhou Nan who was sitting next to him felt a little regretful, but didn't say much, and raised his wine glass.

"It's really a shame. If we join forces, we definitely hope to become the largest grain merchant in Qingquan City."

"No regrets, there are plenty of opportunities to make a fortune," Sun Shiqi and him touched a glass and said with a smile, "I wish Boss Zhou's business grows bigger and bigger!"

"Haha, by brother Jiyan! I toast you a glass!"

"I respect you!"

The two of them drank red light on their faces, one cup after another, and they talked happily.

Old Hook, sitting behind the bar, listened to the two bragging, with smiles on his wrinkled faces, and occasionally babbling.

No matter how they get rich, the money for drinking is indispensable for themselves.

Of course he is happy that they drink more.

In the end, Zhou Nan helped the wall to go out, while Sun Shiqi himself lay on the bar for half the night, and was carried back to the room by the hotel waiter in the middle of the night.

When he woke up early the next morning and saw the bill on the bedside table, Sun Shiqi's originally dizzy head suddenly woke up, and his face turned green.

"220 silver coins?!"

What did he drink last night? !

…

Official website forum.

In the past, this point was supposed to be the peak time for players to go online, and there was no one on the official website, but today this point is not lively.

Quit smoking: "I can't get online anymore!"

I am the darkest: "Me too! It's weird."

Similar posts appeared one after another. Many LV9 players were surprised to find that they had broken through the bottleneck as soon as they put on their helmets!

Especially the most pleasant surprise is undoubtedly Jun Jun.

He has been stuck on LV9 for almost a month!

Finally broke this time!

Pick up **** level 99: "Hahahaha, awakened! I finally awakened!"

Looking at the prompt in the upper right corner of the official website, Jun Trash burst into tears with excitement.

How long has it been since it was established?

As the first few Europeans who entered the game, and it was still an account exclusively for the King of Europe, it should have been an exciting thing, but in the end, I prefer to accidentally catch up with the cold winter of N years.

Coupled with the debuff of "experience is more difficult to obtain", the A round test is almost over before he successfully rises to LV10.

Seeing the "juniors" successfully awakened one by one, I am afraid that only he himself knows the sadness in this.

It's really not easy!

Ye Shi: "Fuck, Jun Jun has awakened?!"

The canyon is at large. Mole: "Shocked! Will it become a dead claw?!"

Of course, some people are joking.

It's just that for level 99 garbage picking, this joke is not too funny.

When the trash king was fighting against the Confucianists, an announcement that suddenly popped up on the official website could be regarded as a relief for him.

Because of this suddenly updated announcement, both players and cloud players were attracted to the past.
