This Game is Too Real

Over Qingquan City.

A "Dragonfly" transport plane is circling along the edge of the Fifth Ring Road.

Looking at the boundless yellow-green thick fog outside the cabin, Tan Man unprofessional smashed his tongue, and his eyes filled with surprise.

The spore cloud gathered in the city center is like a waterfall rolling down from the clouds, and from a distance it looks like a giant tree with lush foliage.

The towering torso devoured the earth, and the spreading branches and leaves invaded the sky.

Is there a real weapon that can destroy this thing?

Even a nuclear bomb...

A faint chill crept along his line of sight, Brother Mantou shook his head, picked up the walkie-talkie hanging on his shoulder and shouted.

"Are you ready?"

Sandwiched with the electric sound of fried wheat, Lao Bai's intermittent voice came from the earphones.

"Ok."

The signal has begun to fluctuate erratically, and intuition tells Brother Mantou that without the protection of anti-electromagnetic interference equipment, this is the limit that the aircraft can approach.

He pulled the joystick beside him.

Accompanied by an unstable tremor, the hanging door locked at the tail of the aircraft was slowly lowered, and the restless airflow was involved in the cabin. .

"The hatch opens—"

"Wish you guys good luck!"

At the same time, Lao Bai, who was standing at the door of the cabin, gestured towards his teammates behind him, and stepped out of the cabin first against the whistling airflow.

The camera zoomed out, and I saw a few black spots separated from the cabin and galloped towards the center of Qingquan. Not long after, six parachutes bloomed above the Third Ring Road.

After landing, everyone quickly gathered in the direction of the airdropped supplies, and recovered the ammunition and rpg rocket launchers and other support equipment placed there.

At the same time, on the other side.

The Boulder City, located on the edge of the West Third Ring Road, is located in the radar station on the giant wall. The operator on duty has already spotted the plane hovering on the border of the Third Ring Road.

"The UFO is approaching our airspace!" The operator sitting in front of the radar control terminal was the first to spot the red dot on the screen.

However, instead of being nervous, he shouted excitedly.

The radar station was instantly busy.

Most of the staff here are in the same mood as him at the moment.

It had been too long since they had seen the aircraft of other survivor forces appear within the range of the radar warning area.

"Damn, I'm sure! It's the stuff of those scavengers in the northern suburbs!" An operator scolded excitedly.

"The other party did not respond to our communication!"

"Could it be that they don't have radios that receive the signal at all?"

"Haha, it's possible!"

As he was talking, the colleague sitting next to him had already operated the air defense system and aimed a rapid-fire gun at the slow silver "big bird".

The computer has calculated the preview circle based on the motion parameters of the aircraft.

All he had to do was press the fire button, and the big silver bird would turn into a ball of fire.

"The other party has entered our range!"

"Do you want to knock it down?"

Unlike the excited operators in the radar station, the station master in charge of managing the radar station was obviously much more cautious.

"hold on."

The plane did not continue to move towards the boulder city, it quickly turned around, and headed back towards the northern suburbs of Qingquan City.

The staff who operated the weapons looked slightly disappointed.

He had been sitting on the cold bench under his **** for almost ten years, and the air defense system on the giant wall had never come in handy.

A staff member said angrily.

"This is a challenge to us!"

"Whether it is to be provocative or not is up to the Lord of the City," the head of the radar station interrupted his speech and looked at his deputy, "Report this incident immediately!"

The deputy standing by the side nodded.

"Yes!"

...

Qingquan City, South Third Ring Road.

The five members of the Niu Ma team that landed safely successfully converged near the airdrop box and got the weapons inside.

However, everyone's expressions were not very optimistic.

The situation here is far worse than they imagined.

we can even say……

Totally beyond their expectations.

Dark red creeps covered almost every building, every viaduct, and every inch of the street.

Grim-faced gnaws, as well as those slime mold mutants that are more ferocious than gnaws, wander aimlessly on the broken streets.

The most troublesome thing is more than that, but the intricate terrain makes the risk factor here multiplied.

The high-rise buildings deep into the clouds are connected by tunnels, making it a "steel forest" in the true sense.

When he parachuted down earlier, Ye Shi almost hung on the pedestrian bridge.

But fortunately, he was lucky, the parachute passed through the middle of the two truncated bridges, and then he landed safely and smoothly merged with his teammates.

"Mom... It turns out that the center of Qingquan City has this ghostly appearance."

On the 50th floor of the 1,000-meter-tall building, Ye Shi, wearing a gas mask, stood beside the broken wall, holding the binoculars and looking in the direction of the crash site.

The crashed W-1 Mosquito glider was stuck on the outer wall of the high-rise building directly opposite them, and the front half of the body was inserted into the wall.

Fallen Feather should be in there.

Ye Shi glanced at his feet.

Below him is the bottomless abyss, the thick spore cloud is like water in a venom pool, and the area that can be observed is very limited.

Visibility here is less than 200 meters due to a cloud of spores gathering in the city center.

In reality, however, actual visibility is less than half that number due to the untold amount of construction waste and reinforced concrete.

This is more exciting than a wave.

"Haven't you explored this place before?" Quit smoking said nervously.

Gu Feng shook his head.

"I haven't heard of anyone here."

Fang Chang also said: "There are no tasks here, and there is no way to save files. Even if you come here, it will be meaningless."

You can't go far without high-value equipment, and you have to consider risks when you bring high-value equipment.

This game does not limit the specific gameplay of players, but it also emphasizes that everyone is an adult and needs to be responsible for their own choices.

In fact, earlier, they tried to start from the Boulder City and explored the direction of the third ring road.

However, the aliens encountered along the way became more and more powerful, wasting a lot of bullets without any profit, and finally gave up.

After carefully observing the situation on the forward path, Ye Shi's face became heavier and heavier, and he lowered his voice and said.

"...There are a lot of evolutionary bodies here!"

Hearing the word evolutionary body, everyone's expressions immediately became serious.

"Rotten knight?" Old Bai said solemnly.

Ye Shi shook his head, did not speak, but pointed lightly outside the high-rise building, connected to the concrete elevated of another building.

I saw the wreckage of the cargo drones lying there, roughly hundreds of them, with packages and boxes from two hundred years ago falling next to them.

The dark red shell looks like rust, but if you look closely with the telescope, you will find that the surface of those drones is not rust at all.

It's a shocking creep!

"Those things... I can sense that they are alive," after a pause, Ye Shi said in a deep voice, "and I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with!"

Gu Feng frowned.

"Want to get around them?"

"The situation below is not much better. Did you forget the things we saw when we came up?" Lao Bai took out the rpg rocket launcher behind his back, inserted a high-explosive grenade, and hit the smoker with the heavy machine gun on his back. With a gesture, "I can only try."

It's impossible to get around.

The difficulty of sneaking in this game is not ordinary, especially for those mutant slime molds, where there are spore clouds covered, the head seems to have an enemy-seeking antenna inserted.

Get a little closer and rush up.

The best strategy is to choose a relatively safe path, lead out the monsters in the area and clear them, and then move on.

Seeing that Lao Bai took out the rpg, the other team members also went to their respective fighting positions in tacit understanding, and the weapons in their hands were insured.

"I'm ready."

"I'm here in Oak too."

"+1"

"..."

Everyone cooperates quite tacitly. After all, it is not the first time that they have formed a team, and they have already experienced the tempering of countless battlefields.

Seeing that his teammates were getting ready one after another, Lao Bai pulled the trigger first.

Tail flame jet!

A high-explosive grenade slammed into the middle of the dense drone swarm!

As the firelight and thick smoke exploded instantly, a large number of drones were blasted out by the shock wave and fragments of the explosion, and fell towards the bottom.

Quitting smoking, who set up a machine gun not far away, also pulled the trigger immediately, venting ferocious firepower towards the front area.

The 10mm bullets that were shot spun into a rain of orange-yellow fire in the air, frantically harvesting the swarms of drones that were alerted and floated.

"Fuck... can this thing really fly?" Fang Chang, who fired with a rifle, had a hint of surprise in his eyes.

In two hundred years, unless it is nuclear power, the durable chemical energy battery will not last so long!

Apparently those mutant slime molds replaced the batteries on the drone as a new power source, and drove the propellers in a strange way, and even evolved a part of the creep into the propeller itself.

but--

In the face of absolute firepower, these are nothing. Against the swarms of drones spewing out of the billowing smoke, large areas were harvested by bullets.

Everything seems to be going well.

However, at this moment, a mutation suddenly occurred!

Not all the drones that were knocked down by the high-explosive grenade fell to the ground and shattered, and some of the surviving little guys flew up again.

At the same time, more and more drones floated out from the viaduct, and even from the building opposite, and even began to flank the sides.

The Niu Ma team behind the bunker immediately fell into a hard fight.

"Damn it! This number is too much?!" After emptying the entire drum, quit smoking and scolded, and immediately changed the magazine.

At this time, Gu Feng, who was pulling the trigger and pouring out firepower, suddenly said.

"Is there a possibility?"

Fang Chang: "What do you want to say?"

"The mimetic ability of the mutant slime mold imitates not only the individual drone, but the drone group itself..." After a pause, Gu Feng continued, "In simple terms, it is not a certain express package that is attacking us, but the An entire courier locker."

Night ten was startled.

"Fuck! Don't be a crow!"

"It's not a crow's mouth. As long as you find the 'drone hive' that dominates these little guys, they should be able to lose their organization..."

Seeing that the machine gun that had quit smoking regained its firepower, Gu Feng took out the ied drone in his backpack and prepared to control it to fly to the opposite building.

vm open.

The neural access device is worn on the head.

However, at this moment, Gu Feng's expression suddenly froze.

Noticing the change in his expression, Ye Shi hurriedly asked.

"what's the situation?"

Gu Feng, who was holding the headset, frowned, glanced at the vm screen in front of him, and said solemnly.

"Can't connect..."

Heck.

There is still a little signal left!

"%￥#@!"

Ye Shi cursed and knocked off the empty clip on the rifle.

No one can count on it now.

If you want to survive, you can only do your best to shoot down all the drones in front of you!

However, at this moment, a drone suddenly broke through the firepower network, passed through the broken wall on the side of the building, and rushed towards Ye Shi.

Heart warning signs suddenly rise!

Reflexively, Yato let go of the magazine in his hand and pulled out the Ten Commander's pistol on the belt.

However--

Even if he warned of danger in advance, his hand was still one step behind.

The drone that was covered with dark red mushrooms slammed into it, and the tentacles protruding from the bottom of the fuselage popped out like lightning, and slammed towards his face.

Ye Shi only had time to see the shadow flash, and then his consciousness fell into the boundless darkness.

A light blue pop-up window appears.

【Disconnect】

At the same time, another world.

Jiangcheng University, in a dormitory of the boys' dormitory, an abrupt ghost scream suddenly sounded.

"Boiled!"

Hearing the movement from the bed, the animals who were sitting under the black and eating chicken were stunned on the spot, and the hands that pressed the gun stopped.

what's going on?

There was silence in the bedroom.

Sun Gan turned his head to look at the bed behind him, and was about to ask what happened when Brother A Wei's voice floated over from the bed.

"Sao Rui... something happened just now."

Ye Wei, who was sitting on the bed, stared at the helmet in his hand, his chest slowly heaving.

The three roommates looked at each other.

I don't know what happened, but I'm fine.

"Ah... a small problem, it's not in the way."

"We don't care, but you pay attention to your body..."

"Indeed, playing r18 games is so loud, it's hard not to worry about you guys."

Ye Wei: "..."

mmp!

These gossips!

Ye Wei rolled his eyes and threw the helmet beside the pillow.

Getting up and getting out of bed with the ladder, he went to the balcony to wash his face, leaned against the guardrail, took out his mobile phone, and glanced at Xiao Qun.

"Anyone?" he sent a message.

No one came back for a while.

Seeing this, Ye Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that everyone is fine, only I accidentally gave it to me.

However, when he thought that he would not be able to get on the account for the next three days, he felt a burst of depression.

good guy.

Withdrawal has begun!

Just when Ye Wei was about to close the q group and went to the official website to see what new work the sand sculptures had done, a message suddenly popped up in the group.

Aguang: "Yes, what happened?"

Ye Shi was shocked when he saw the id of the sudden corpse fraud.

What the fuck?

Dog planning!

"Brother Guang?!"

"you are still alive??"

Suddenly realizing that there seemed to be something wrong with his question, Ye Wei hurriedly retracted the message, and typed at the speed of light to pick up a sentence below.

"Uh, I mean you actually remembered your account password."

Aguang: "..."

Ye Wei's expression was a little embarrassed, and he sent a dog head to ease the atmosphere.

However, the broad-minded Brother Guang didn't care about such trivial matters, and quickly changed the subject on his own initiative.

Aguang: "How is the situation on your side? Are you attacked by the enemy?"

Isn't this a well-intentioned question?

However, it was rare to chat with Gou Planning, and Ye Wei answered truthfully.

"Well, we hit the Xenomorph not long after we landed. The situation inside the Third Ring Road was worse than we expected, on the ground, in the sky, and underground... The intricate traffic is like a maze, paper maps and compasses It's not really useful at all, we end up relying on vms and weak signals to determine our orientation."

"And then there's the xenogeneic... It's not just predators, creepers, and tyrants here, there are a lot of ancient machines operating in this area."

Aguang: "Ancient machine?"

Ye Wei continued typing.

"It's an evolutionary body! For example, the power armors, tanks, self-propelled robots, etc., which have appeared in the wave expansion film before, are all strange things."

"By the way, there are also drones! We encountered a large swarm on the way to the crash site, densely packed like locusts!"

Aguang: "Can you explain to me in detail about those evolutionary bodies?"

After a few seconds, he added another sentence.

"I mainly want to know about the situation on the new map from the player's perspective."

Although it felt a little strange, Ye Wei didn't think much about it, digging at the screen of his mobile phone, and describing his experience in the Third Ring Road to Ah Guang one by one.

After a while, A Guang replied.

"Well, I probably understand."

After laying the groundwork for so long, Ye Wei continued typing.

"Brother Guang, will the difficulty in the Third Ring Road be too high? The equipment can't keep up, and it is difficult to advance with just a few light weapons."

"Strongly recommend that weapon stores have power armor!"

Too many advanced monsters!

This level design is simply unreasonable!

However--

Aguang doesn't seem to intend to take his advice.

"I can't do anything about the difficulty. Part of the game content is generated by the server itself, and part of it is added by the players. We are only responsible for maintaining the operation of the server and dealing with violations...Sorry."

"I have something to do here, let's go down first and talk back."

Auto-generated game content is fine.

What kind of Ubisoft behavior is this?

Looking at the two lines of messages on the screen, Ye Wei had a helpless expression on his face.

Whether he believed it or not, Aguang didn't continue to explain his plan to him. After asking what he wanted to ask, he went offline ruthlessly.

There is only one person left in the group.

There was no point in continuing to guard. Ye Wei, who was empty and lonely, sighed, closed the group chat window, opened the browser and boarded the forum.

There's a lot of fun at this point on the forum.

The speed at which the news of the gossip section is refreshed is dizzying. Almost every time it is refreshed, the posts on the home page will be changed.

At this moment, Ye Wei was suddenly surprised to find that Ah Guang had secretly updated an announcement while he was not paying attention?

He went in and looked out of curiosity, and he was stunned on the spot.

[Map Information Update: Qingquan City Center]

[Map overview: The central area of ​​Qingquan has been completely occupied by slime molds, and a large number of equipment left over from the Prosperity Era have been assimilated by the fruiting bodies of the mutant slime molds, forming an evolutionary body with a special structure...]

[Recommended exploration level: lv.25 and above]

[Map Tip 1: Recover the remains of the evolutionary body and exchange it for high rewards in the scientific expedition team! 】

【…】

The recommended exploration level and map tips are nothing to sneeze at.

It's just the "Map Overview" column...

Why does he look so familiar? ?

...

Wasteland world.

Shuguang City Industrial Zone, the railway platform near the Bachi Aluminum Factory.

The staff are busy operating the crane equipment, dismantling some large equipment into parts, and loading them on the pallet of the freight train.

The industrial zone of the new alliance is migrating north.

This work will be carried out concurrently with the construction of Dawn City.

At that time, the industrial area of ​​Shuguang City will be transformed into a light industrial base focusing on the production of consumer goods.

Heavy industries, including steel, weapons, and heavy equipment production, will be transferred to Dawn City to the north.

After listening to Xiaoyu's introduction, Pai asked curiously.

"Why are you moving north?"

The little fish said helplessly.

"Because it's so close to our neighbors."

Pai asked the truth.

"Do you have a bad relationship with them?"

With her index finger on her chin, she thought for a while and replied.

"Well... I can't say whether it's good or not. In Big Brother Chu's words, we are too close to them and are dangerous to each other."

Of course, there are also a series of factors such as being closer to the origin of raw materials and having a larger population in the north, but it is too troublesome to explain in detail.

"All right."

Accepting this statement for the time being, Pai put this trivial matter aside for the time being, and continued to search around the stockpiling area.

Xiaoyu looked at her movements and asked curiously.

"What are you looking for?"

"Some ingredients!"

"raw material?"

"It's nothing, you don't have to worry about it, it won't hurt you anyway!"

Looking at Pai with a confident face, Xiaoyu tilted his head in confusion. Although he was still curious, he didn't ask any further questions in the end.

"Okay... can I help you?"

"Really? That's great!" Pai's eyes lit up, and excitedly gestured with his hand the size of a cup, "First of all, I need a bottle of crude oil, it doesn't matter what kind... Probably that's enough!"

To teach that rude guy a hard lesson.

This is the necessary material!

"Yuan, crude oil?" Xiaoyu was stunned and asked in a low voice, "Is biomass crude oil okay?"

Pai rubbed his chin and thought for a while.

"Biomass crude oil... a little troublesome, but it's okay!"

"Anyway, get a bottle first and see!"

...

the other side.

South of Dawn City, a sanatorium in Linghu Wetland Park.

Just after learning about the city center from Ye Shi, Chu Guang was planning to continue thinking about the unfinished reform plan, as well as the update content of the beta0.3 version~www.readwn.com~ However, he was staring at the new construction on the screen. When he was thinking about a more appropriate title, an unexpected phone call suddenly came to him.

Seeing that the communication request came from the "New Alliance Office in Boulder City", Chu Guang temporarily stopped his work and pressed the connect button.

Soon, Shuyu's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Five minutes ago, people from the City Hall of the Stone City came to my place."

The people at City Hall?

A trace of surprise appeared in Chu Guang's eyes.

"What did they say?"

Shu Yu continued.

"On issues of trade and security..."

"The Minister of City Hall would like to speak with you on the phone."
