This game is too real.

Chapter 146 The Bombers and Unexpected Casualties

"I swear... this is the most delicious noodle I have eaten since I left my hometown!"

"It's so delicious!! Is this really made with our noodles??"

"It turned out to be a flavor that the seasoning package doesn't have! It's incredible, how did this happen?"

"What the hell did they put in the soup? Damn it, why is the soup so delicious...I want to drink another bowl!"

"Hot hot hot, hiss...it's hot to death!"

"What are you doing?"

"queue!"

"Are you leaving the car??"

"No hurry, I'll make another bowl, hehe!"

A group of NPCs in gray coats were squatting next to the camp and sucking noodles. The appearance was as funny as it could be, and the players next to them were dumbfounded.

"Is it so delicious?"

"It seems... okay?"

"After all, it is the skill of the scrambled egg man, and it is a batch that is performing normally!"

"It smells so good~~ I miss Boss Crow's grilled mushrooms."

Seeing how delicious the NPCs are eating, the players feel that the noodles in their hands are even more delicious.

Old Luca counted the money, a total of 80CR, his wrinkled face was full of joy.

Selling 20 set meals not only solved the food for the players, but also made a small profit.Not far away came two more queuing, maybe they could earn 100CR for this morning meal.

If you let the adults know, you will be very happy!
He can't wait to tell his master the good news!

At this time, Lu Yang, who was wearing power armor, and Section Chief Li of the logistics department were getting off the elevator of the Pioneer.

Seeing the crew members squatting at the gate of the camp in blue coats sucking noodles, both of them were stunned.

Lu Yang walked over and asked.

"What are you eating?"

The marine soldier squatting on the ground immediately stood up, holding the bowl in his right hand, and reported at attention.

"Captain, we are eating noodles!"

"What kind of face is this?"

"I don't know, but it's really delicious! I suggest you try it too, it only costs 4CR, it's very cheap, and there's a lot of it."

4CR a bowl?
Lu Yang looked bewildered, and didn't quite understand what he heard. Li De, who was standing next to him, understood something, and his brows twitched violently.

But he didn't say anything.

It doesn't hurt to start a small business, and he is not stingy enough to limit where the employees can spend their money.

Just don't delay the business.

But these guys are real dogs... I don't usually see them willing to go out to work, but today one or two went to line up next to the elevator.

Li De glared fiercely at a few old acquaintances from the logistics department who were squatting on the ground, and left without saying a word.

……

At around 9:[-] am, a blizzard suddenly fell on the outpost.

The north wind was blowing so loudly that it almost knocked off the roof of the granary.

Fortunately, Chu Guang borrowed a bottle of foam spray from Luo Hua, and reinforced the roof of the granary, saving the crumbling granary.

Looking at Chu Guang who was blown into a snowman and came in from outside the barracks, Luo Hua said helplessly and sympathetically.

"To be honest...the conditions here are too simple, aren't there any production tools in the shelter?"

Chu Guang patted the snow hanging on his body, put the bottle of foam spray at the door of the barracks, and said indifferently.

"I guess the shelter is half built and out of budget... Are you feeling better?"

"It's much better... By the way, did I say something strange last night?" Luo Hua said nervously.

He still has self-knowledge about his mouth, and he can't control it normally, and it's even more unreasonable when he drinks.

Of course Chu Guang would not tell him that he had drawn more than 200 key points on the VM, so he casually made up a story in a perfunctory way.

"No, you just told me the story of you and your bionic partner in your hometown—"

"Okay, okay, please stop talking." Luo Hua hurriedly stopped Chu Guang from continuing, and at the same time glanced at Ai Si beside him.

Seeing that she didn't look this way at all, she was relieved.

There is only such a big space on the Pioneer, and he doesn't want his private affairs to be reported back and become the laughing stock of his colleagues.

Huh?
Chu Guang looked at him unexpectedly.

Really?
Chu Guang, who didn't pay much attention to it, suddenly became curious.

At this moment, Ace looked up.

"The captain will be here in a while. When I contacted you just now, I told him about your drunkenness. You'd better think about how to explain it to him."

"What does it mean to be drunk? I call it entertainment!" Luo Hua tried to quibble, uttering all the words that Chu Guang taught him.

Ace froze for a moment, collected himself, and said expressionlessly.

"You can explain to the captain."

Hearing this sentence, Luo Hua immediately shut up like a deflated ball, and stopped talking.

Chu Guang patted him on the shoulder comfortingly and gave him a friendly smile.

"Don't worry, my friend, I will explain it for you!"

Luo Hua looked over with a moved face.

"Thank you, you are such a nice person!"

Chu Guang smiled and said.

"You're welcome, after all, you've helped me a lot... Cough, what I mean is, I'll have to trouble you to contact your section chief in the future."

It's great to work with such a simple-minded guy.

Luo Hua didn't notice it at all, and said with a smile: "Don't dare to say trouble, that's my job! If there is any trouble in the future, as long as I can help, please feel free to come to me!"

Chu Guang: "Definitely!"

Ace: "..."

……

The blizzard lasted for about an hour, and it didn't stop until 10:30.At this time, a group of people came to the north gate of the Wetland Park.

Wearing power armor, Lu Yang led four marines to the north gate of the outpost, followed by a four-legged mechanical dog carrying a large box.

The configuration is different from the last time I came.

Except for the power armor that Captain Lu himself was wearing, only two of the four marines it brought were wearing power armor and holding powerful Gauss rifles.

As for the other two, they were wearing light mechanical exoskeletons.One holds a small, lightweight assault rifle, while the other holds a light machine gun.

In addition to the supplies on the mechanical dog, they all carried large and heavy backpacks behind them, and they seemed to be ready for a long journey.

Chu Guang issued a mission through the VM, and brought four small players with iron-pipe rifles to meet his allies.

Seeing Chu Guang approaching, Lu Yang said with a smile.

"...We ran into two mutated brown bears on the way here, and it took a while."

"It's your luck that you can meet both ends at the same time."

What about bears?

Don't these people recycle their prey?
Chu Guang glanced at these people, but he didn't see Xiong's shadow.

Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and clicked on the VM a few times, and sent a message to Xiao Qi, asking him to help edit the task, and sending two perception players to follow the footsteps of this group of people to the north to see if they could get those Two mutant brown bears were found.

Mutant brown bears can weigh more than 1000 kilograms. In Chu Guang's eyes, they are all meat.

There was a blizzard just now.

With any luck, you should be able to find it.

"Maybe it's a male and a female." Lu Yang smiled brightly, looked at the fully armed Chu Guang and asked, "It seems that you are ready?"

Chu Guang smiled lightly and said.

"We can do it anytime."

Lu Yang: "So are we! Then please lead the way!"

Chu Guang nodded, and gestured towards the four little players behind him who couldn't wait.

"set off!"

……

Players have never been to the edge of the Fifth Ring Road, but Chu Guang has been there a few times, but that was all in autumn, and snowy weather is another situation entirely.

But it doesn't matter, there are a lot of scavengers on Beit Street, and they live off the resources around the Fifth Ring Road.

Chu Guang took people to Beit Street, found Yu Xiong, the captain of the guard, and planned to borrow a clever young man from him to help.

After listening to Chu Guang's words, Yu Xiong said immediately.

"There was a heavy snowstorm just now, and that boy Yu Hu happened to be at home, why don't I get him to help you too, he is familiar with the Fifth Ring Road."

"No, we only need a guide. Let him stay at home in this horrible weather. There is no good work around the Fifth Ring Road."

Yu Xiong smiled and said.

"Okay, if you need anything, just ask, I will help you!"

After bidding farewell to Yu Xiong, Chu Guang took the young man from the guard out.When walking outside the town, he casually asked
"What's your name."

The young man had obviously seen him stepping into the castle, and said respectfully with an expression of awe.

"Zhao Yang, my lord."

The name is interesting.

"Who is Zhao Shu from your family?"

Zhao Yang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "He is my younger brother!"

Chu Guang nodded, finished the pleasantries and started talking about business.

"For a while, your job is to be our guide, do it well, and I will give you 5 silver coins when it's done."

The wages of NPCs are much lower than that of players. The guards on Beit Street only cost 60 silver coins a month, which translates to only 2 silver coins a day.

Hearing that there was a reward of 5 silver coins for a trip to the side of the Fifth Ring Road, Zhao Yang was immediately excited, and quickly patted his chest to make a promise.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will do it well with my heart for the job you entrusted to me!"

Chu Guang smiled.

"Then I look forward to your performance."

Joining Captain Lu Yang and his party, Zhao Yang was so shocked that he could hardly speak when he saw the three powered armors and the two shiny exoskeletons.

Of course, he didn't know what the Pioneer was or what the company was. He only knew that the neighbors in the Wetland Park actually had powered armor? !
While being shocked in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

It seems that the old mayor was not wronged.

With this equipment, let alone the Bloody Hand clan, the entire northern suburbs of Qingquan City might not be able to find an opponent.

I have to tell everyone about this big news in a while!
With the help of the guide, the group entered the Fifth Ring Road smoothly, without wasting too much time on crossing the ruins.

The towering skyscrapers are like tombstones, and there are countless floors at a glance.The streets are full of fallen maglev cars and construction waste, the cracked road reveals buried pipelines and maglev roadbeds, the east-west streets have even turned into forests, and the shadows are covered with vegetation and moss... But at this moment Everything is covered with ice and snow.

The four little players looked at everything in front of them, with stunned expressions on their faces.

Makabazi: "Damn... have you ever played Meimo?"

The mole on the run in the canyon: "One thing to say, this is much more shocking than that."

Killing the Chicken at Midnight: "2077 US Last Edition?"

Elf King Fugui: "Okay, there's something inside."

The exploration team of the Pioneer had a clear goal. With the help of Zhao Yang, they quickly followed a rugged alley to the punctuated area on the map.

The first floor of the office building is a bank, and the sign hanging at the door can barely make out a few words.Chu Guang was suddenly curious about whether gold could be found in the bank's treasury, so he secretly sent a side mission to the four little players using VM.

[Sub-quest: Find a bank vault]

[Reward: 10 silver coins]

"It's here."

Compared with the AR image in the field of vision, Lu Yang tapped the side of the helmet with his index finger, and then looked at Chu Guang next to him.

"According to our calculated intelligence, the carbon dioxide trap should be somewhere between the 20th and 30th floors."

Chu Guang: "How are you going to go up there?"

"Get to the 20th floor area from the safe passage, and then push up layer by layer from there. If you are lucky, you should be able to find it."

"Is there no way to spy from the outside? I have a drone."

"It's not that simple, that thing is not an external air conditioner," a marine next to him interrupted with a smile, "you can find someone after you go in."

"Yes," Lu Yang nodded, looked at Chu Guang and asked, "Do you want to come together? Or you can wait for us below."

"Then I'll wait for you...By the way, if it's convenient, can you help us clear the aliens on the first floor? Let's find out if there are any similar blueprints or building structure drawings."

"No problem, but I don't think you need to count on that too much."

Captain Lu Yang smiled and gestured with his teammates.

The big box behind the mechanical dog unfolded, and two quadrotor drones with gun barrels suspended flew out murderously, followed by three powered armors and two light infantrymen.

Intensive gunshots rang out, and the orange-yellow ballistics almost lit up the space in the lobby on the first floor. The nibblers wandering in the ruins were torn to pieces before they could react.

It was a one-sided massacre!

The four young players looked enviously, and the iron-barrel rifles they held in their hands suddenly became unsatisfactory.

"That drone is too powerful."

"The chug chug group of nibblers just lay down."

"I really want to make a set."

Listening to the conversation of the four little players, Chu Guang smiled knowingly.

Don't say you think about it, I think about it too.

Bear with it.

Work hard, maybe after two versions you'll have everything.

……

Chu Guang found that the marines on the Pioneer were not only strong in street fighting, but also strong in attacking buildings.

Of course, a large part of the reason is also a problem with equipment.

An exoskeleton can suppress the gun without recoil, and the power armor might have auxiliary aiming, coupled with the supporting firepower of the drone, Chu Guang felt that if he was given the whole set, he might not be able to do it.

However, even with strong firepower, it still took a long time to advance from the [-]th floor to the [-]th floor.

The alien species in the Fifth Ring Road are not just eaters.

They were attacked by creepers from the No.20 floor.

In addition, there is also a kind of alien species called "Martyrs". Its back has sarcoids full of spores. It is usually stationary like a plant, with average vision and hearing. However, once it is stared at by them If they go up, they will immediately rush up and explode themselves.

If the constitution is lower than 10 points, inhaling spores has a high probability of being poisoned, comatose, or even corrupted by slime mold.Even if the constitution is above 10 points, it is not advisable to overdose, after all, there is a dose for everything.

Of course, you'll be fine with a gas mask.

Just don't get blown up.

On the other side, Chu Guang's little players found a suspected treasury facility in the deepest part of the hall on the first floor.

However, the alloy door has been opened, and there is only a pile of banknotes that no one cares about, and there is no shadow of gold.

It can be seen that in the early years of the Wasteland Era, precious metals such as gold were still relatively valuable.It was not until later that everyone discovered that this thing was not edible, and it was not rare at all, so it was gradually marginalized.

The players wandered around in the hall, somewhat unwilling to find any good things.Chu Guang found a firmer place to sit, quietly waiting for the battle upstairs to end.

After waiting from noon until three o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Yang finally brought people down from upstairs.

Unfortunately, the building does not have the CO[-] trap they are looking for.Although the air purification system in the building also has spare fusion batteries, neither the model nor the specifications match the kind of fuel rods they need.

And the power of that battery is not much left, only 8%.

Lu Yang felt a little heavy, but he was not discouraged.

In fact, he didn't expect to find it on the first day. After all, he got acquainted with the surrounding terrain, which was quite rewarding for him.

Although he vaguely guessed the result, Chu Guang still asked.

"how is the situation?"

"It's not ideal, but my intuition tells me that I should be able to find it near here."

Lu Yang sighed and looked at Chu Guang apologetically.

"I'm sorry to trouble you for staying with us for so long, but we found nothing. By the way, we found this battery upstairs. Although it's running out of power...take it if you need it."

And this good thing?

Chu Guang accepted it with a decisive smile, and took over the battery.

"It's okay, what I promised, I will definitely help you find it."

Be sure to look for more!
If Chu Guang could find such a good thing every time, he wished they would run away a few more times.

Lu Yang was about to say thank you, but at this moment, a mournful roar suddenly came from the side of the hall.

Martyrs!
Lu Yang was taken aback, and quickly turned around to go to help, but it was still a step too late.

There was a bang!
No time to react at all!
A group of people quickly supported the past and rushed into the archive room where the explosion sounded.

The room was turned into a mess, all the cabinets were open, and almost none of them were left open.

And in front of the last standing cabinet, a shelter resident was lying crookedly, his whole body was bloodied, and his face could no longer be seen clearly.

The air was deadly quiet.

No one expected that there would be casualties at this time.

The marine soldier wearing an exoskeleton holds a light machine gun in his hand, and the face under the helmet is full of shock.

"The bomber...fuck!"

"Impossible, I have clearly swept here!"

Looking at the bloody corpse on the ground and the cabinet whose door was blown off, Lu Yang's Adam's apple twitched.

"Obviously, it was hidden in the cabinet ... the instant the door was opened, it exploded."

There was another dead silence.

Guilt was written on everyone's faces.

Especially Captain Lujan.

Turning around to look at Chu Guang, he lowered his head slightly and said in a heavy tone.

"Sorry... I promised you that I will keep you safe."

Chu Guang didn't speak, and fell into a long silence.

After a while, he sighed softly, with a tired expression on his expression.

"People will always die. The moment he came out of the shelter, he was ready to give his life and loyalty to rebuild our civilization. However, I didn't think...why it was him."

Lu Yang: "He..."

"He is a very cheerful and optimistic young man. He just got married last month." Chu Guang looked aside with melancholy eyes. "I promised his wife that I would take him back."

Several Marine Corps soldiers looked at each other and looked away in silence.

Lu Yang: "...Can I see her? I will personally apologize to her."

"In what capacity? I believe she won't want to see you. Your apology will not make her feel better, it will only make her more sad. Besides, I am the one who made the promise to her. After all, this matter needs to be I will face it... This is the fate of managers, you should be able to understand."

"I can understand, and I have promised their families that I will let them go home with victory and honor..."

Putting his hand on Chu Guang's shoulder, Lu Yang was silent for a while before continuing.

"While I know this is not enough to make up for our mistakes, at least please allow us to pay his pension."

"At least materially, I hope his family can live better."

Chu Guang was silent and did not speak.

At this time, it would be too vulgar to say an amount suddenly, and it would spoil the atmosphere a bit.

He knew very well that even if he didn't say anything, the leader who kept his word would definitely contact his logistics section chief after he returned to let Li Delai discuss the pension with him.

At that time, as long as you don't ask too much, it should be negotiable.

Like money.

Another example……

Open a few more trading varieties.

Chu Guang is very clear that it is not realistic to buy their production materials, but it is not a problem to use their modular workshop to help him with a few more useful machine tools, right?
They obviously have the ability to do it, it's just more troublesome.

Or better yet, send an engineer over and help them build two production lines.

It doesn't take too much to get the two big varieties of cement and steel, at least 60% of the problems can be solved.

No, I'll think about this after I go back.

At this time, I still think about sad things.

Looking at the manager with a heavy heart, and the silent NPCs around, the three disheveled young players looked at each other in blank dismay.

"What are they grieving about?"

"Isn't it just three days for OB... It's not the first time that Makabazi died. The last time was much worse than this time. This time, at least a whole body was left. Uh, it should be counted as a whole body."

"But having said that... at this time, OB is afraid that he will completely miss the next wave of shift changes."

"My giao! When you say that, I suddenly feel sorry for him."
