This game is too real.

Chapter 240 Alpha 1.0 Version Update!Life career gameplay epic enhancements!

"MMP!"

"Let the bastards go."

Standing at the edge of the forest on the northeast side of Yumu District, Chu Guang held a telescope in his hand, looked at Yuanxi Town hundreds of meters away, and couldn't help cursing.

A few days ago, the crawler vehicles of the guard patrolled the entire northern suburbs, searching for the escaped six centurions.Three of them were wiped out, but more than half of the marauders escaped.

Chu Guang reckoned that some predators should have come to Lion's Tooth and brought him the news of Black Snake's defeat.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that these people were so stubborn.

Instead of A coming up, he turned around and ran away!

"Hit if you can, and run if you can't. It's very similar to the style of those predators."

Standing next to Chu Guang, Vanus also held the telescope, observed for a while and then continued.

"...But these fortifications are very similar to the style of the Legion."

The looters fortified the ruins with logs and dug trenches, barricades and bunkers in the streets.

It was converted into a fort.

On a three-storey ruin, he even saw artillery emplacements reinforced with sandbags and wood.

Judging from the reserved "concave" shooting holes, it is probably some kind of curved infantry gun.

However, the guns there have been removed.

"It can be seen that they withdrew very hastily, and only had time to light a fire... Most of the fortifications were not destroyed in time."

Chu Guang put away the binoculars and lightly touched the side of the helmet with his index finger.

"Queue 1, move forward."

"receive."

Liu Ding, who was standing 500 meters ahead, received the order and gestured to the players beside him.

After receiving the order, 5 teams with a total of 50 people moved forward immediately and entered the abandoned town from five directions.

Wearing an exoskeleton welded with steel plates, Lao Bai held an LD-47j light machine gun in his hand, and the muzzle moved around the window on the street.

There is also a two-meter-long "riding gun" hanging on his back, but this kind of combat distance should not be used.

"It's so quiet here."

"The predators stationed here should have withdrawn," Fang Chang glanced at the human skull on the side of the road, then looked around vigilantly and said, "It doesn't look like there are living people in the whole town."

Blood stains were painted on the wall into hideous graffiti, as well as some crooked words and symbols.

It looked like a ritual of some evil religion.

The unfinished corpses were thrown on the side of the road, and filthy things can be seen everywhere on the street, and the ground is in a mess.

Ye Shi swallowed.

The oppressive atmosphere here made him feel suffocated.

He would rather fight the predators head-on than explore this kind of place that makes him feel physically uncomfortable.

"Damn, why does it feel like a horror game..."

Gu Feng looked around and nodded expressionlessly.

"Well, the Resident Evil version of Silent Hill... a similar feeling."

It's too quiet around.

Let alone a living person.

Not even a mouse in sight.

A group of people continued to advance along the route prompted on the VM, and cooperated with other teams to conduct a round of search of the entire outer area of ​​the town.

After confirming that there were no looters, they continued along the main road and advanced to the very center of the town.

There is a clock tower here, with a wide view around it, and it is the tallest building in the entire town. It was probably used by those looters as a headquarters or a similar place.

Pushing open the wooden door of the clock tower, Lao Bai, who was in the front row, walked in first, but was soon smoked by the stench inside.

"Oh shit……"

"What did you see?" Ye Shi walked up curiously.

"I advise you to better not look at it."

Lao Bai had just said these words, but it was already too late, Ye Shi, who walked in through the door, had already stood up holding the door.

In the hall of the bell tower, the corpses piled up like a hill.

The buzzing of flies was like a tsunami, black things were crawling on the pile of corpses, and the hot air was blowing with a rotten smell.It seemed as if all the cockroaches in the whole town had come here, the small ones were as big as a fist, and the big ones were bigger than shoes...

Kuangfeng went in to take a look, and was slightly taken aback.

"This is too..."

This visual impact.

Even if there is a filter, it is somewhat mentally polluted.

It was like a nightmare.

"...I feel that the public test is far away. If the blood and corpses are not changed to green squares, it may be difficult to end." Elf King Fugui said, smacking his tongue.

Irena glanced at him with an ambiguous expression.

"Be confident and get rid of the feeling."

……

After an hour of carpet search, it was basically confirmed that the thousand-man team stationed in Yuanxi Town had evacuated.

And it was withdrawn about three days ago, and the target was Xizhou City in the north direction.

Before evacuating, the marauders executed all the slaves, sprinkled insect eggs on their bodies, burned any supplies that were too late to take away, and even set fire to the fortifications.

However, most of the wooden bunkers and barricades survived, except for food that was burned due to lack of fuel.

If we wait another half a month, the whole town may become a paradise for mutated cockroaches and flies.

Although those "little guys" are not strong in combat, it is difficult to pose a direct threat to the wastelanders, but they are quite good at spreading diseases and stealing supplies.

Obviously, Lion Tooth does not want this "fortress" to fall into the hands of survivors in the northern suburbs, so it tries to prevent them from occupying it through this method.

Chu Guang ordered the players to set a fire in the clock tower, burning the alien species and corpses inside.

It is nearly 30 kilometers from here to the outpost, and it is too difficult to recover these corpses, and it is not cost-effective.

The two active substance extractors have been working 24 hours a day, and the production tasks have been scheduled from the beginning of the month to the end of the month.

At least for a period of time, there is no need to worry about the issue of resurrection coins.

Standing at the intersection on the north side of Yuanxi Town, Wrench spread out a map in front of Chu Guang, and made several red cross marks along the contour line with a marker.

"...It is nearly 20 kilometers from Yuanxi Town to the southernmost tip of Xizhou City. There are hills and forests along the way. Although there are three roads from the pre-war era, they are basically deserted. If they plan to move towards us from the north, the marching route is quite limited."

"I suggest building an operational base in Yuanxi Town, setting up radio base stations, and building outposts along the northern hills, setting up radio stations and communication equipment, and closely monitoring the movements in the north!"

Chu Guang stared at the map for a while, then looked at the hills covered by forests to the north.The snow covered the treetops became one piece, and only a few abandoned high-voltage electricity towers and a few relics of unknown purpose could be seen in the vast white snow.

There is a good view and the surrounding terrain is open.

If an outpost can be established on the top of that hill, it shouldn't be a big problem to bring an area with a radius of five kilometers or even ten kilometers into view.

The only thing to worry about is the alien species in the forest.

Monsters, burrowing beasts, mutant brown bears, wild boars, apes and even death claws are all likely to haunt the forest.

Each outpost must deploy at least two machine guns and a 20mm cannon, as well as two Iron Fist rocket launchers.

This should keep the Sentinels safe.

Nodding his head lightly, Chu Guang said.

"That's a good suggestion. How many people do you think are suitable for stationing?"

Wrench thought for a moment and said.

"There are always three people in the outpost, two shifts a day, 30 people should be enough!"

Chu Guang picked up the marker pen and made three marks on the map, and then returned the map to the wrench.

"I'll give you 50 people, and the number of outposts will be increased from 5 to 8. Be sure to keep an eye on this area!"

"If there is any situation, report to me in time."

The job of standing guard can only be handed over to the guards. It is impossible for players to do boring work 7 hours a day, 24 days a week.

He plays games by himself, and he can squat for a day for a boss, but he can't squat all the time.

However, it is possible to release some tasks related to Yuanxi Town, and divert a group of hunters, scavengers, explorers, and life professional players to this area for activities, and the number of people is controlled between 20 and 90.

Cooperating with the NPC's fixed sentry post, it should be able to ensure nothing goes wrong.

With fists in both hands, the wrench led the way.

"Yes!"

The plains of the River Valley Province are mainly concentrated at the north and south ends, and they traverse east and west in the form of a belt on the map. They are the transportation hub from the eastern provinces to the western provinces.

Like two corridors.

The large area sandwiched between the two corridors is mostly hills and gentle slopes, with a few scattered plains.

Most of the pre-war cities were also located on these plains, or at least centered on the plains and spread to the hills along the contour lines.

Most of the survivors in Qingquan City live a good life, and a large part of the reason is that they happen to be located on the transportation hub connecting the east and the west, and there are large plains here.

Unless the road is blocked by heavy snow, there are usually many caravans passing by the northern or southern suburbs of Qingquan City, and they usually bring a lot of good things.

The location of Yuanxi Town is just at the northernmost edge of the Elm District, and it is also the northernmost side of this southern corridor.

Pass through the hills to the north, and continue to walk for more than 20 kilometers, which is Xizhou City controlled by the Ya clan.

Whether it is to protect the farmland and the safety of Changjiu Farm, or to ensure the smooth flow of trade routes, it is necessary to control the strategic location of Yuanxi Town.

"If I were a Bonechewer, I'd wait until fall to make another trip."

Vanus, who was standing next to Chu Guang, glanced at the north direction and continued.

"Do you want to consider deploying a 100mm cannon on the hills? That thing's anti-armor ability is average, but it's no problem to blow up an infantry and break a track."

Chu Guang looked at him and said.

"I'm planning on this. Speaking of which, how far can your army's artillery go?"

Vanus thought for a moment and answered.

"The effective range is 11 kilometers, but sometimes it can hit 13 kilometers. If it is a rocket-extended range, the range may be doubled, but I looked at the batch of shells you seized, and they seem to be ordinary high-explosive shells. bomb."

When attacking the Pioneer before, the two howitzers he used were Legion-style 100mm artillery. They were deployed in the forest in Yumu District and hit Changjiu Farm more than ten kilometers away.

It's just that the two cannons didn't play any role.

Not only were most of the projectiles fired, intercepted by point defense systems with higher technological content, but they were even locked by drones and sent into the sky by employees of the company with two metal hydrogen projectiles.

However, there is one thing to say, compared to the high-tech equipment of enterprises that are expensive to build and expensive to maintain, this kind of cheap, easy-to-use, simple and powerful large-caliber artillery is more suitable for the environment on the wasteland.

After all, it would be too wasteful to use something as good as metallic hydrogen to deal with predators.

It's like shooting a cockroach with a submachine gun.

After leaving Wrench, Liu Ding and other guards here, Chu Guang led the players back home.

The entire winter of militarism finally opened up room for development.

Now that spring is here, if you don’t farm the fields, you will starve to death.

After returning to the refuge, Chu Guang first opened the refuge system, entered the manager allowance page, and confirmed the reward points.

Due to the hard work of the players during this period, the reward points consumed in the celebration some time ago have regained a lot of blood, and now there are a full 271 points.

"It's time for a happy blind box opening again."

After some careful consideration, Chu Guang selected 2 high-level blind boxes, 5 intermediate blind boxes, and 21 primary blind boxes.

With the slight shaking of the wall, the alloy door opened, and the rewards from the blind box were quickly sent out along the conveyor belt.

Looking at the things on the conveyor belt, Chu Guang showed a surprised expression on his face.

"This is……"

It was a set of jet-black exoskeleton with blue lines visible on the surface. Its shape was somewhat similar to the five-style exoskeleton, but its size was not small, and it was a circle larger than the five-style foot.

To make an inappropriate but vivid metaphor, if the five-style exoskeleton is compared to a basketball uniform, then this set is a football uniform.Thick composite panels hang from the chest, and scale-like armor linings cover almost more than 90% of the body.

[Type [-] "Heavy Cavalry" Police Exoskeleton: An improved model of Type [-], which has stronger bulletproof capability than Type [-] "Light Cavalry" exoskeleton. It can not only resist the shooting of light weapons, but also resist explosions to a certain extent. Shockwave and fragment damage. 】

"Something."

Chu Guang put it on with great interest and moved his limbs.

The power supply is probably a chemical battery such as azide compound or solid hydrogen, and the battery life is 24 hours under normal use.

Compared with nuclear-powered power armor, this thing is more suitable for daily wear. It can be recharged when it runs out, and there is no need to look for cold fusion batteries everywhere.

As for the other high-level blind box, the reward is very ordinary, it is an EMP grenade.

So far, among the things opened in the advanced blind box, this thing is the most useless.

The middle-level blind box and the primary blind box opened pretty good things, including two treatment needles, two boxes of bandages, a box of antibiotics, and a lot of canned food, portable food, and condiments.

"Unfortunately, no seeds were produced this time."

It would be perfect if you could unlock a few more high-yield crops!

After confirming the rewards, Chu Guang came to the office to sit down, turned on the computer, logged on to the official website and took a look around.

Today's little players are still as punishing as ever.

The two directors of the No. 81 Iron and Steel Factory are discussing fiercely with the cloud players whether to change the 20mm machine gun into a 37mm rapid-fire gun, so as to increase the charge of the shells and produce a greater explosive effect.

Mosquito used a pencil to draw a picture that only he could understand, showing the new equipment being developed by Goblin Technology - the shell of the split claw crab is used as armor, the wood engine is powered, and it is equipped with an 88mm short-tube mortar Cannon and a "crab tank" with a 20mm cannon!
Although everyone complained about whether this thing can hold a tank, Mosquito still insisted that this is the equipment that meets the needs of the wasteland.

"How can there be so much steel to build tanks! And this is wasteland, brothers, how can there be so many tanks for you to build?"

"Obviously what we need is a heavy-duty tool that can quickly harvest soft targets and can travel through rough terrain. It doesn't need to be very protective, just enough to stop bullets."

"The shell of the split claw crab perfectly meets this requirement! With its eight mechanical legs, it can span ravines, pits and bunkers like a spider, opening the way for our troops on the whole front and providing direct fire support! Even the deathclaw, You have to run like a reptile in front of the 88mm mortar!"

Body stroke chef: "Although I can't understand it at all, it sounds amazing."

Professor Yang, Thunder King: "How do you plan to coordinate the movement of the eight mechanical legs? And what if one breaks? If you want me to say, it's better to put it on the track directly, or get a big tire, just like an off-road vehicle!"

WC really has mosquitoes: "Hehe, I want you to take care of it! I have my own way!"

Highland security guard: "You guys should hurry up and get the plane out. Get a piston-type propeller plane out, isn't it more delicious than this thing? It can clean the ground and investigate, and it is more than enough to beat a few bandits."

Ivan the Great of Siberia: "Go directly to the airship! That thing has a large bombing capacity, and tons of explosives are thrown down!"

WC really has mosquitoes: "MMP! It's easy to say, come in and get it!"

Ya'er, I want to go to the toilet and ask: "But there is one thing to say, you can try a wooden plane. I remember that the big mosquito bomber seems to be made of wood and glue. Furniture factories can make it. Only the engine and landing gear are still there. The connecting parts are made of metal, which can carry 4000 pounds of aerial bombs, and the speed is particularly fast, comparable to the bf109, but it is a bit expensive for the pilot."

Ward's beriberi Levine: "Old Maozi's Bo-2 biplane seems to be a wooden machine, which has been in service for half a century."

Irene: "Charlie from the shop? (funny)"

Looking at the content of these small players' exchanges, Chu Guang was very pleased.

Airplane.

That's a good thing.

It should be no problem to build an airstrip at Changjiu Farm and fly to Xizhou City.

At that time, take a few photos in the sky to learn about the deployment of the "Tooth" clan of the Bone Chewing Tribe in that area, so as to deal with the next attack.

Not sure, but also find a chance to counterattack the past.

However, there is no rush.

The most severe moment has passed, Vault 404 has been militarized all winter, and what is most needed now is development.

After entering February, there will be a large wave of caravans passing through Qingquan City, and the buff of the company's permanent partner will soon come in handy.

Before that, he needs to be fully prepared to seize this historic opportunity.

"With the grain seized from the black snake, it shouldn't be a big problem to feed another 300 people."

"Although it is one month earlier than planned, now is the time when manpower is needed."

"Refuge needs more life professional players, especially players with farming experience in reality."

"It's time to release the Alpha 1.0 version."

It is not difficult to screen out these players.

Now that the number of reservations has exceeded 10, it is more than enough to select 300 players with user tags such as "agriculture-related occupation or profession", "farming tendency", "management game enthusiasts", and "liver emperor" according to the questionnaire .

There is no need for these 300 people to go to farm obediently.

This is neither realistic nor consistent with the logic of the game.

But as long as 1/10 of them, even 1/20 of them, can wish to stay in the field 24 hours a day like Brother Maca, it is enough for Chu Guang.

It would be best for these players to combine their real-world experience, improve agricultural tools and planting techniques, and bring them to the wasteland.

Now that the industrial zone is able to independently produce pottery machines, and mosquitoes have started to make crab chariots, it should not be a big problem to build two tractors before the spring plowing starts.

With some other cheap and easy-to-use tools, as long as they can solve 1/3 of the production tasks, they can already help the managers a lot!

After thinking for a while, Chu Guang opened the text document and edited a line of words in it.
