This game is too real.

Chapter 198 Operation Broken Sword!

So far, in the entire beta test server of "Wasteland OL", no one has completed the first kill against Death Claw.

Although there were traces of Deathclaw's activities in the Yumu area, it was winter after all, and Deathclaw was a close relative of lizards, and they needed to hibernate.

Basically lying in the lair 24 hours a day, so far no player has found where Deathclaw is hiding in the Elm District.

Chu Guang, who was squatting on the forum to watch the screen, suddenly felt a slight movement in his heart and said.

"Xiao Qi, can you transfer the drone there?"

Xiao Qi paused and said in a low voice.

"Well, it should be possible, but there are risks. The wind outside is too strong, and there is snow from time to time, and the hummingbird is a short-range rotor drone. Even if our communication radius can cover a distance of 16 kilometers, it is so far away. Xiaoqi was worried that if he flew over, he would not be able to come back."

In different climatic environments, the endurance of drones is different.Hummingbirds are small in size and have strong concealment, but they are relatively weak in other aspects.

Chu Guang said after pondering for a while.

"You don't need to stay there for too long, just take two photos?"

Xiao Qi said.

"That shouldn't be a problem...Xiao Qi, let's try."

Chu Guang nodded and said.

"Well, just try it, don't force it."

After explaining to Xiao Qi, Chu Guang continued to look at the forum.

Compared with the players' discussions on the strength of the Death Claws, the discussion enthusiasm of the cloud players mainly focused on the group of predators.

From the predator's weapons to their clothing styles, there are even discussions about the predator's habits and culture.

These discussions cannot be said to be completely useless, it can only be said that they are useless at all.

Sitting in front of the computer, Chu Guang silently calculated.

There are now 5 trucks in the outpost, one is deployed in the industrial area, and the other is deployed on the transportation route from the outpost to the long-term farm.The other two vehicles were deployed in Yumu District and the temporary resource point outside the abandoned town in the north, responsible for transporting the prey and recycled garbage from players back to Changjiu Farm.

In fact, there is only one vacant truck, which is the one that Dr. Yin Fang rented for the cow and horse team, and it is now returning from the laboratory of Zhongzhou Aerospace.

The snow in the northern suburbs has been buried to the knees.

With a distance of nearly 16 kilometers, there is no reliable vehicle, allowing players to run over with their legs to support, and they must be prepared to spend the whole day on the dry road.

"It seems that what the outpost lacks is not only weapons, but also vehicles."

Long-distance troop projection is a big problem. Even if his little players DIY a few mountain bikes and make tricycles, the number is still too small.

"...When the problem of anti-aircraft weapons is solved, we have to let No. 81 Iron and Steel Works figure out a way to see if we can get a few more firewood trucks out."

Now Chu Guang doesn't understand one thing.

What do these marauders want fuel rods for?

They also need to recharge the shelter?

Can this stuff be used as firewood?

At this moment, Lao Bai, who had just been back online for a while, went offline again and went to the forum.

That post has been turned into a live post by him.

Now updating the experience after being captured by the Marauders.

"I'm back! Just now when I got back online, I sneaked a peek at the window and found that there are more and more predators here! There were dozens of people just now, but now there are hundreds of them!"

"They confiscated my VM and searched my body before, hahaha, but they didn't expect to be offline while sleeping!"

"By the way, does this count as exploiting a game bug? Brother Guang won't delete my post if he sees it."

What the hell!

Chu Guang's eyes lit up instantly.

Good guy, can captives still use this?
Not to mention deleting the post, Chu Guang wished that he would get stuck with bugs a few more times, and it would be best if he could post the specific number of people and the distribution of troops on the forum.

Hesitating whether to open a small account to guide him, the silly netizens who were waiting for an update at the bottom of the post quickly asked all the questions he wanted to ask for Chu Guang.

The blue sky does not see the moon: "Damn it, do you still have windows in this cell?"

The nursing home is responsible: "666, please tell me how many people there are and how are their equipment? I will get off the plane later, and I will bring a message on the line!"

Lao Bai: "Well, just looking at their physique, I feel that they are actually no different from the Bloody Hand clan we met before. They are the ordinary predators, but overall, these predators are obviously organized. It's a lot taller than the bloody hand, and the equipment is also much stronger, probably between the legion and the general predators!"

"In addition, I saw 2 trucks in their camp, and there was a light machine gun on the roof! The machine gun was exactly the same as the one we captured from the Legion!"

"In addition, they also raised a lot of different species, especially mutant hyenas. This is nothing surprising. After all, the Bloody Hand clan also likes to raise dogs, but these people are interesting. They not only raise dogs, but also dress them. clothes!"

"I'm sure that those clothes are definitely not for keeping warm, they are probably used for hanging explosives and other things! If you plan to attack here, you'd better be careful of those hyenas, don't let them get close to you!"

Just as Lao Bai was talking freely in the post, several familiar IDs suddenly appeared in the forum.

Ye Shi: "Fuck, Lao Bai, are you still alive?!"

Lao Bai: "Haha, I'm alive! By the way, why did you climb a tree? I've helped you to win opportunities like that. Don't tell me that you still gave it for nothing."

Fang Chang: "We are on the truck back to the base. I guess you are offline, so we will lie down and come back to have a look. Good brother, you wait, we will go back and bring rescuers to rescue you!"

Lao Bai: "Well, don't be impulsive, this group of predators is not easy to deal with. The exoskeleton is broken. The most valuable equipment I have now is the VM. It's not a pity to lose the others. Death It’s just been OB on the forum for three days, and it’s like a farewell to life. I want to find out what those predators are doing in that ecological laboratory before I die.”

Fang Chang: "Well... I have some thoughts about this. Maybe they didn't intend to take any fuel rods at all, but aimed at the ecological park itself."

Hearing Fang Chang's analysis, Chu Guang suddenly regained his spirits.

This is exactly what he is most curious about.

Lao Bai: "How do you say that!"

Fang Chang: "It's very simple. The warm climate, sufficient area, and ready-made concrete fortifications make it a natural base of operations. If I were their commander and confirmed that the ecological park in Building 3 is still working, I would definitely choose to make my home there as well."

"The only problem for them now is that Deathclaw has nested there, but now that Deathclaw is wounded, they just have to find it and clean it up."

Old Bai was startled.

"Damn it, what you said... it's really similar. I saw a lot of supplies on their trucks, which is obviously not the weight of more than 100 people! I counted all the boxes and sacks they unloaded , if it is all food and ammunition, the consumption of 1000 people is probably enough!"

supply!

What the hell is the scale of 1000 people!
Chu Guang was instantly excited.

Good guy.

He was worrying about supplies, someone brought him a pillow so soon?
It took less than a minute for Chu Guang to make a decision in his heart.

He must not let this piece of fat slip away from his nose!

Fang Chang and Ye Shi were still on the truck, and they didn't dare to stay on the forum for too long. After they went offline to learn about the situation from Lao Bai, they went back online again.

……

Chu Guang thought for a moment, made a decisive decision, and decided to take the initiative in the war. He issued a task to the remaining three members of the cattle and horse team through VM, ordering them to get off the car immediately and set up an observation point near the Zhongzhou Aerospace Experimental Base to closely monitor the group of predators. their movements.

Want to set up an outpost at Lao Tzu's doorstep?

dream!

Chu Guang then sent a message to Luca, asking him to mobilize all 5 trucks before dark and wait for orders in the northern industrial area of ​​the outpost.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the office.

Yin Fang pushed open the door and walked in from the outside with an anxious face.

"Something happened!"

"Our scientific expedition team on the front line encountered predators!"

Chu Guang said calmly.

"Your news is too slow, I knew it 10 minutes ago."

Looking at Chu Guang with a calm face, Yin Fang was slightly taken aback, and said cautiously.

"I have to warn you that if they take the fuel rods out there... all of our efforts for the past week have been wasted, and we'll have to find a suitable target again."

Chu Guang said.

"I know, but at the moment, the danger from the fuel rods is not that great."

Yin Fang asked.

"What's the meaning……"

"Those looters have camped there. Judging from the size of their personnel and the deployment of supplies, they probably intend to use it as a base of operations... If my guess is correct, they should be the 'bone chewers' who have suddenly risen recently. 'tribe."

If there is no accident, they should plan to establish a stronghold at the Zhongzhou Aerospace Experimental Base as a bridgehead for a full-scale invasion of the southern part of the River Valley Province.

As Fang Chang said, they had no intention of taking away the fuel rods at all.

They themselves went to the ecological experiment base!
While speaking, Chu Guang couldn't help but feel emotional.

I didn't expect these people to come so quickly...

After hearing Chu Guang's words, Yin Fang's face changed slightly, and he said nervously.

"Isn't that more serious?"

"They all have their goals written on their faces. Do you think I will let them succeed? There are only more than 100 people. This is not the first time I have suppressed bandits."

Seeing Yin Fang in a daze, Chu Guang smiled faintly and continued.

"The reconnaissance team has been deployed near the marauders. Just before you walked into my office, I have mobilized all the trucks in the base, and will soon mobilize another 200 reserve troops to form a reinforcement company."

"Since they stretched their feet to my door, they must have made plans to leave their legs and shoes together."

"When it gets dark, I will teach them a profound lesson!"

……

Lao Bai, who was trapped in the "prison" and couldn't get out, looked around boredly, and occasionally went to the window to take a look outside when he heard something, and then went back to the bed and sat down.

It's just past noon in the game, but now it's early morning in reality, even if he goes back, he's going to sleep, and he may not be able to sleep.

It's better to just stay here in a daze.

It's also interesting to talk about the looters.

When standing by the window to observe, Lao Bai found that these NPCs have their own life trajectories, just like those in Cousin Wilderness.

For example, the looter standing guard at the gate of the experimental base is a smoker. Every time the chief is away, he will take out half of the cigarette butt and smell it, and then put it back in his pocket.

The driver leaning against the side of the truck probably had a higher status, no one cared about them, and stood with the co-pilot smoking a cigarette, puffing away with an intoxicated expression on his face.

There was also a marauder sitting on the stone steps, rubbing something with a knife at the tip of the bullet.

Does anyone really believe in that urban legend?
Engraving a cross on the bullet increases damage.

At this time, Lao Bai suddenly discovered through the small hole in the tent that a huge monster about four meters long was carried out from the main entrance downstairs.

"Deathclaw!"

A look of surprise floated on Lao Bai's face.

"These people actually killed Deathclaw?"

It's not accurate to say that it was killed.

If you look carefully, although the Death Claw has shocking scars all over his body, he hasn't completely died, it seems that he still has a breath.

There was a row of tents at the back of Building 2, not far from where the trucks were unloading supplies.

Several marauders worked together and carried it on a stretcher into a spacious tent.

Just when Lao Bai was thinking about what they were going to do, he soon saw an ugly old man walking in after them.

For some reason, Lao Bai always felt that the old man wrapped in a thick coat had a slightly different temperament from the predators around him.

What do you say?
It feels like this guy is mysterious.

If the raiders around him were compared to goblins, then at least this old man was also a goblin witch doctor.

"Are they planning to heal Deathclaw?"

Old Bai's face was full of weirdness.

Not so much, right?

……

Xiaoqi's drone returned and brought back aerial pictures of the predator camp. From a few photos, at least one company of predators was stationed in Zhongzhou Aerospace Laboratory.

To put it bluntly, at most 150 people, at least 100 people.

They are scattered across several laboratory buildings.

Someone patrols with a dog on a leash.

As for the supplies, judging from the aerial photos, it does look like there are 1000 people, and the unloading point is near Building 2.

Those looters seemed to be planning to hide the supplies in the building, so the cleanup of the slime mold xenomorph in Building 2 began.

Ye Shi established an observation point nearby and set up a sniper rifle.Fang Chang of the agility department has enhanced vision and acts as an observer.Kuangfeng was lying in ambush nearby, taking care of the chrysanthemums of the two, and at the same time, went offline to take a look at the forum from time to time.

Lao Bai, who was taken as a prisoner, has become their eye in the marauder camp, always paying attention to the distribution of personnel in the camp.

However, since the entire experimental base itself was built on a relatively high ground, surrounded by ruins and jungles, Ye Shi, who was a sniper, did not have a very good vision.

However, it doesn't matter.

The task they received was not to squat high and shoot black guns, but to monitor the patrols scattered outside the stronghold and provide cover for players approaching the stronghold.

If you find a high-threat target, such as a heavy gunner or a barrel, kill him before he poses a threat to our units.

Eight o'clock in the evening wasteland time.

Five light trucks delivered 200 players to the theater in two batches, and the assembly was completed 1 km away from the Zhongzhou Aerospace Ecological Experimental Base.

This operation was led and directed by Chu Guang himself, and he brought 6 guards to the front line to supervise the battle.

In addition, Vanus, the former commander of the legion, was also allowed to go to the front line.

This was his own request, and the reason was that he wanted to see with his own eyes how the people who had defeated them on the battlefield fought.

Chu Guang agreed to his request, took him beside him, and allowed him to watch the battle.

It just so happens that I also need a staff officer, so I don't necessarily have to refer to his suggestions, but his actual combat experience may come in handy at critical times.

The southwest side of the experimental base is Qingquan City, so this is also the key area for the looters to deploy.

A machine gun was mounted on the third floor of Building No. 1, with sandbags stuffed into the window as a cover, and the muzzle of the gun was facing the gate of the experimental base where checkpoints were placed.

Sandbags are piled up near the checkpoint, and squatting behind the sandbags can condescendingly shoot the forest below the slope.

In addition, about [-] handcuffed slaves are building simple shelters and fortifications in the base under the supervision of a ten-man team.

It could be seen that the raiders were cautious.

Even the possibility of encountering air raids and shelling has been considered, and even dug foxholes in the lair.

Chu Guang reckoned that those foxholes and cover-ups should not be aimed at him, but probably to guard against the planes in Boulder City, or something else.

But in contrast, the east side of the experimental base is their weak defense area, with only 2 patrols and no heavy firepower deployment.

Perhaps because the terrain here is flat and the bunkers are sparse, they are confident that they can react quickly when encountering an attack from this direction, and drive the truck with the machine gun welded on the top.

However, what they faced was not an ordinary opponent.

Vanus looked at Chu Guang, who was wearing power armor, and said with a strange expression.

"Are you going to go to the front line yourself?"

Chu Guang glanced at him.

"Did I say that?"

Vanus glanced at the thick breastplate, the hammer and Gauss rifle on his back, and slowly shook his head.

"No."

To be honest, he has fought hundreds of battles, big and small, but this is the first time he has seen a commander who armed himself like an iron can.

That Lujan guy doesn't count.

In his eyes, that was not a commander at all.

Chu Guang ignored him, and lightly touched the helmet with his index finger, and the orange floating window was projected on the tactical eyepiece of the helmet.

The information is updated on the players' VMs at the same time!
