This game is too real.

Chapter 373 The Man Who Was Always Forced to Pass Out by You

A camp of about hundreds of people, on the edge of rows of tents.

The burning bonfire crackled.

Beside the "Electric Mule" truck, a girl with shoulder-length short hair was sitting cross-legged on the ground, tinkering with the wrist-mounted computer in her hand.

Passengers will always cast their eyes on this side inadvertently, because the combination of three people and two bears is really rare here.

Especially three young and beautiful women.

The fair and delicate skin and good-looking face, not to mention the young men who are full of blood, will be moved by seeing it, even the female mercenaries who are rougher than men can't help but take a second look.

However, the heavy machine gun with a thick barrel welded to the roof of the truck, and the wire and bloodstains hanging from the front bumper still deterred many malicious eyes.

When the business is done, put the money in your pocket, what fun can't you find?

This is wasteland.

No one would make fun of their own lives.

"Damn it... why is there such a setting as the communication range? Shouldn't the player system be open anywhere?" Looking at the upper right corner of the VM screen, Tail sighed and complained.

"You, asking this kind of question is like entering this game for the first time." The white bear sitting next to him rolled his eyes.

Hearing this sentence, the corners of Tail's mouth turned up, and he retorted plausibly.

"Fatty, it's because you're not smart. Let's complain a few more times in the game. What if the planner hears it? Maybe we'll change the settings."

"Eh? Can it still be like this?" Rourou froze for a moment.

Sesame Paste smiled subtly and said, "Ahaha...it probably won't work."

"Be more confident, I guess it can be removed."

Calmly maintaining the rifle in his hand, Sisi skillfully installed the last part, raised the barrel and took aim at the distant forest, "...Even if it is a baby bus, it is impossible to coax every baby Have fun. Believe every opinion, it will only mess up the game in the end."

Teddy, who was sitting beside him, yawned and lay cross-legged in the shadow behind the truck.

As a real bear, it couldn't understand what the crowd was saying and just felt sleepy.

If possible, it would of course want to get closer to the meat, but every time it approached inadvertently, it would get a claw, and it didn't dare over time.

However, following this group of humans is not bad at all, at least it is much better than the iron cage it used to stay in, and it has meat to eat every day.

It is used to life now.

Looking at the crackling fire, the cat ears on Sesame Paste's head swayed slightly, and there was obvious expectation in his eyes.

"How long will it take us to see the desert?"

Sisi took out the paper map and glanced at it, rubbing his index finger against his chin in thought.

"I don't know, the border of the desert is always moving. The further west we go, the lower the reference value of the pre-war map... But we have already reached the edge of Ruigu City, and it should be soon."

At this moment, they are staying at a survivor settlement called Katyn Station.

As for why it is here?

That's a long story.

A week ago, Pai returned to Camp No. 101, and the escort mission came to an end. Tail, who couldn't be idle, suddenly proposed "to realize Sisi's dream of seeing the desert", so the next stop of the White Bear Knights' trip was set at Luoxia Oasis No. 9 in the province.

Although that strange expression made people unable to complain, Sisi was still a little moved by the fact that the tail actually remembered what he had said.

In this way, they took a few boxes of "art" designed by devil's silk and rattan, as well as some goods that might be more valuable in the desert, and embarked on a journey westward.

After a week of trekking, they finally came to the junction of River Valley Province and Luoxia Province.

This is a place called Ruigu City. To the north of the city are lofty mountains, to the east is a forest, and to the south is Yimapingchuan. Collapsed houses and construction waste cover the entire wilderness.

Since this is the west exit of the southern corridor of the River Valley Province, there is an endless stream of caravans here, and some survivor settlements are scattered on the edge of the forest.

For example, the Katyn Post where they stayed was the largest survivor settlement nearby.Most of the caravans coming and going would choose to stay here, so they followed.

Most of the people here live in tents, grazing and hunting for a living, and plant a small amount of green wheat, yams and a fruit tree that does not need watering.

In addition to the tents of the locals, at least [-]% of the tents here belong to foreign caravans.

The locals do not have their own currency, and usually barter or trade in pure gold dinars.

Whether it is chips, Cr or silver coins are not easy to use here.

However, Sisi unexpectedly discovered that the instant noodles they brought from Dawn City can be used as currency here.

A packet of instant noodles is equivalent to two dinars -- or nearly 10 grams of gold.

If you can bring gold to reality, you will be rich!
Sisi and Sesame Paste were still studying the map, and Rourou had already dozed off.

At this moment, playing with vm's tail, he suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

"There is a signal!"

"Signal?"

Sisi was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously reached out and clicked on his VM, only to find that there was no change in the upper right corner.

"Why don't I have it here?" Sesame Paste was the same, staring at his VM in confusion.

"It's not the signal from the refuge, it's from the friend list!" Tail said excitedly, "It's Brother Spring!"

The VM can not only be connected to the server in the shelter, but also can be connected point-to-point between two devices, but some functions will be limited, and the communication distance is relatively limited.

Only when it is close to within 3-5 kilometers, will there be a very weak signal.

The VM who leaned closer to the tail took a look, and Sisi suddenly showed a surprised expression on his face.

"Commander Spring? Why is he here?"

If I remember correctly, didn't that guy go to Qingquan city center to brush up the grades of the scientific research team?
From Qingquan City to here, it is at least 150 kilometers, and they walked for a week to get here.

At this time, a communication request popped up in the list, and Tail immediately pressed the connect button.

"Wicked? Can you hear me?"

Amidst the noisy electric sound, a familiar voice came.

"...Awei, are you in Ruigu City now?"

"Yes."

"I'm on top of you."

"My giao?!"

Tail looked up, but the sky was so dark that he couldn't see anything.

The spring water did not stop, and continued to speak quickly.

"The 150 kilometers is close to the limit of the voyage. Let me make a long story short. Earlier today, our Corps unlocked the task of the No. 79 shelter released by the scientific research team. This shelter is near you—"

"Eh?! It's near us??"

"Well, the specific situation will be discussed after the meeting. We will throw the airdrop a little north of you in a while, and no one will see it when the night falls. Wait until tomorrow morning, and you will recover the airdrop according to the location."

"What's in the airdrop box? Food?" Tail asked excitedly.

"It's communication equipment! I need you to set up a communication base station in the southern suburbs of Ruigu City, and then stand by and wait for the next instruction..."

"Wait a minute, we have our own business here." Sisi, who was sitting on the side, frowned slightly, and interrupted Commander Quanshui in a gentle tone.

It will take at least a week to get here from Qingquan City, and I don't know how long it will be delayed until the mission is over.

The task of opening a shelter is tempting, but the comprehensive income may not be much higher than their running a business.If she had been told a week earlier, she would definitely have joined with her tail, but now they have all walked to the edge of Luoxia Province.

She likes to plan everything in an orderly manner, and hates unplanned variables.

Although their relationship with Quanshui is not bad, it is only at the level of ordinary friends.

The only things that can make her abandon what she has planned are sudden accidents and Aowei.

A sigh came from the communication channel.

"I know, I'm very sorry to bother you, but this task is really important! Whether it's for the Stormtroopers or the Alliance...the only ones I can ask now are you, so how about selling me as a favor?"

"Si... Brother Quanshui begged us so much, let's help them!" Tail grabbed Sisi's sleeve and said with sparkling eyes.

She was mainly curious about what was in Vault 79.

That's a double-digit refuge!

This is the first time the service has been launched!

Seeing Tail's thoughts at a glance, Sisi made a helpless expression.

"Okay...for the sake of the alliance."

Vault 401 is approaching saturation, Vault 404 and Vault 117 have long been filled, and Vault 101 found in Xizhou City has an owner, and the newbies have nowhere to go.

Winning Vault 79 may allow the authorities to release more beta test qualifications, and the server will be more lively.

Hearing these words, Commander Springs breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he still has an alternative plan, which is to throw a few paratroopers over to establish an outpost, but the effect is definitely not as good as Sisi and Tail who are nearby.

As players who entered the game early, although their combat power is still a little behind that of the first echelon players, they can be regarded as the best in the server.

In addition to building outposts, he also needs them to help with some reconnaissance missions.

"Thank you so much! We plan to leave early tomorrow morning... By the way, do you have anything to bring, we can bring it for you along the way."

Hearing this sentence, Sisi's heart suddenly moved, and he spoke.

"Help me pull a truckload of instant noodles and Coke."

"A truckload of instant noodles?!"

Commander Quanshui was stunned, and said in embarrassment, "Well, there are only six 'electric mules' available for the transportation team, and there are a lot of supplies and building materials to be carried, so the space that can be freed up is limited. And the money for a truckload of instant noodles... I It’s a bit difficult to get a pad here.”

A pack of instant noodles sells for two silver coins, a box of 24 bags sells for 40 silver coins, and a truckload of at least five or six hundred boxes is at least 2 silver coins.

Of course, all his assets add up to more than 2, but it is really impossible for him to come up with 2 silver coins in "cash".

But at this time, Tail who was sitting on the side spoke quite generously.

"Small problem, I will transfer the silver coins to you when I get off the assembly line soon! Including the money to buy the truck!"

Good guy!
It turns out that a truck of instant noodles refers to truck + instant noodles.

Commander Quanshui didn't know how to complain about such a rich woman's speech.

"That's fine... I'm going to leave the communication range soon, and we'll talk later when I'm offline. Also, don't forget to recover the airdrop."

"Ouk! Don't worry, leave it to Ao!"

The phone hangs up.

Tail looked at Sisi curiously.

"Sigh, why do we buy so many instant noodles?"

The meat and sesame paste also looked strange, and the dry food they brought was quite sufficient, which was enough to eat.

Looking at several desert merchants not far away who were slurping instant noodles and wanting to lick off their plates, Sisi had an intriguing smile on his face.

"Emmm...how should I say it?"

"I just suddenly felt that that thing should sell well in Luoxia Province."

Maybe it can be used as money.

Maybe they noticed her gaze, and several desert businessmen in white turbans whispered a few words.

There seems to be a consensus.

Two of the young men stood up and walked towards her.

Noticing the two, Sisi silently put his hand in his pocket, holding the pistol hidden inside.

"Don't be nervous... We don't have any malicious intentions. My name is Kaliman, and I come from the lion kingdom in oasis No. 9." The young man walking in front raised his hands to indicate that he was not armed.

However, Sisi didn't take his hand out of his pocket, looked at the two indifferently, and said in a non-standard joint language.

"What's matter?"

Kariman took a deep breath and said.

"...May I ask, are you businessmen from Qingquan City?"

Sisi nodded.

"Yes."

Seeing her nodding, Kaliman and his companion looked at each other with joyful expressions on their faces.

Just when Sis was wondering what the two of them were happy about, the man named Kaliman continued.

"It's like this... Before we left the desert, we met a wounded traveler. He was seriously injured and unconscious. When we found him, he was completely breathless. Follow the instructions of Desert Spirit Teaching, we can't leave him alone, but we also have our own affairs to deal with..."

Sisi immediately asked.

"He's from the northern suburbs?"

Kariman shook his head.

"Then we don't know... But after he woke up, he just said that we should take him to Qingquan City, let us go to the northern suburb of Qingquan City, and find a man named Chu Guang."

Hearing the manager's name, Tail had a surprised expression on his face.

"Oh! It's an acquaintance of the manager!"

Sisi also came back to his senses and asked immediately.

"Did he say his name?"

Kaliman expressed hesitation, thought for a while and said.

"It seems to be called Luo... Luo Hua?"

Luo Hua?

Sisi was lost in thought.

I seem to have heard this name somewhere...

……

North Street of Dawn City, eight o'clock in the evening.

Although the night had already fallen, the street was still full of people coming and going.

Zhang Hela Noodle House.

Sitting at the table near the door, Su Ming, who was sipping noodles, suddenly let out a heartfelt sigh.

"To be honest, I'm a little bit reluctant to be here."

He was a soldier in the Enterprise's 26th Commando, serving as a squad shooter in the squad.

Following Commando Captain Yun Song from the Yunjian Province on the east coast all the way to the middle of the mainland, this was the first time he had the idea of ​​staying somewhere other than Ideal City for a while.

The companion sitting opposite made a joke.

"Are you reluctant to part with the food here, or here?"

"It's all there!" Su Ming smiled, and drank up the noodle soup with a bowl.

Happy days are always short.

They can only stay in Dawn City for three days, and today is the last day, and they will be on their way tomorrow morning.

Therefore, this is also his last supper here.

If there is a choice between Ideal City and Dawn City, Su Ming feels that he will undoubtedly choose Ideal City.

And he can be sure that anyone who has been to Ideal City will make the same choice as him.

However, the delicious food here also makes him unable to give up.

It would be great if we could open a ramen restaurant in Ideal City.

Su Ming couldn't help but have such thoughts in his heart.

However, this will have to wait until he returns alive...

"I'm suddenly envious of Lao Shen." The companion sitting opposite suddenly said.

Su Ming knew who the old Shen he was talking about was that Shen Feng, the unlucky ghost whose arm was parasitized by slime.

However, it is not certain who will be unlucky.

They'd have to go west into the desert, and the guy could stay here comfortably for a month, and then go home with the caravan that passed by here going east.

The inhibitor blocked the erosion of the slime mold. Except that it was inconvenient to use, it hardly affected daily life.

Thinking of that guy, Su Ming couldn't help but say something sour.

"Look at his arm and you won't be envious."

"That's true," the companion sitting across from him nodded with emotion, "I've never seen anyone with that symptom. I guess there's nothing good to do when I go back to Ideal City."

Another companion nodded.

"In the end, [-]% of the limbs had to be amputated..."

Speaking of this, everyone fell silent, and their moods became complicated.

No one knew what danger was waiting for them ahead.

They don't even know if the people they want to save are still alive...

……

The next day.

On the northeast side of Dawn City, outside the barracks near the airport, ten half-track trucks were neatly parked in a row.

The truck was full of ammunition and supplies, some of which were produced by the New Alliance, and a large part was imported by the New Alliance from Boulder City.

As for the loot originally loaded on the truck and the high-end goods brought from Ideal City, they have been left in the warehouse of Dawn City.

Millions of silver coins are enough for this team with a total number of less than two hundred for a long, long time.

Twenty sets of shiny power armor and more than a hundred soldiers wearing exoskeletons assembled beside the convoy.

They carried LD-47 series rifles on their backs, and the wooden butts set off their sci-fi-like armor, which seemed inconsistent no matter how they looked, but they didn't think so.

After three days of practice, they have been roughly familiar with this simple and retro weapon with a receiver.

This is an excellent replacement until construction of the ammunition production line is complete.

Stand at the front of the line.

Captain Yun Song took a step forward, looked at Chu Guang in front of him, and said solemnly.

"Thank you for your hospitality, but our compatriots are still waiting for us, we have to continue on the road... there will be a period later!"

"You're welcome, the door of the alliance is always open to its friends, and we welcome you to come back anytime," Chu Guang stretched out his right fist with a friendly smile on his face, "Bon voyage!"

"You also take care!"

Yun Song stretched out his fist and touched Chu Guang, then turned around neatly, and led his subordinates towards the west.

Heding also followed in the team.

Although he wanted to stay, as a businessman accompanying the army, he had to move with the team.

However, in order to "cooperate" with Chu Guang, he kept the apprentice he brought with him.

In addition to his apprentice, there are five logistics personnel who will be responsible for helping the new alliance to build a production line for G5 assault rifle ammunition and parts.

This work will continue until the end of the month.

Watching the enterprise's expedition team leave, Chu Guang turned and returned to the barracks, and set his sights on Commander Quanshui, who was already fully armed.

At this moment, he was wearing the Destroyer I exoskeleton that he had drawn before, and a stubby 120mm self-loading mortar towered behind him.

Not far behind him, 200 players from the Stormtroopers were ready to go.

They will escort the alliance's land reclamation team to Ruigu City, 150 kilometers away, to build an outpost there.

The significance of Vault 79 to the New Alliance is not only archaeological, but also can be used as a novice village.

After taking down the refuge, Chu Guang will send 3000 training cabins there in batches, and build it into the alliance's third survivor colony.

Since the birth of the corps system, this is probably the first time he has entrusted the player with the task of "expanding the territory for the alliance".

Looking at the eager Commander Quanshui with high hopes, Chu Guang said solemnly.

"Ruigu City is located at the junction of Hegu Province and Luoxia Province, and its strategic and economic significance are of great importance."

"We need to establish an outpost there to lay the foundation for developing that wasteland. Your mission is not only to explore Vault 79, but also to unite the local survivors and bring the fire of civilization there!"

"That will be our next colony."

"I intend to entrust this task to you with full authority, and I hope that you will seriously consider every decision you make."

Open up new settlements!
And entrust carte blanche to oneself!
Upon hearing these words, Commander Quanshui was instantly agitated, and immediately straightened his back and gave a military salute.

"Leave it to me with confidence, my lord manager, I assure you that the task will be successfully completed!"

"I'll be watching you."

Chu Guang looked at him and nodded, touched his right fist on the breastplate, and returned a military salute.

"Go."

Under the leadership of Brother Spring, the Stormtroopers embarked on the journey with high morale.

Chu Guang glanced at the truck behind them, and suddenly found that there was an extra one, which seemed to be the player's own.

I saw that the truck was full of boxes of instant noodles, at least tens of thousands of packages.

Seeing this scene, Chu Guang couldn't help but have a weird expression on his face.

What are these players doing with so many instant noodles?

I don't usually see them eating...

However, Chu Guang didn't think too much about it. After all, according to the rules he set, apart from the supplies that the headquarters was responsible for, players were free to bring whatever they wanted.

After almost two hours, the 200 players of the Storm Corps had left the signal range of the new alliance, and small green dots disappeared from the map one after another.

Although their signals are no longer on the map, Chu Guang can still perceive the existence of those players through the "shelter system" based on morphoforming field technology.

"...I wish you safe travels, warriors of the Alliance."

Chu Guang was about to turn off the map, but at this moment, four small green dots suddenly lit up near Ruigu City, 150 kilometers away.

Looking at the four green dots on the screen, Chu Guang couldn't help being surprised.

"It's pretty fast."

Last night, he sent a "Dragonfly" transport plane to Ruigu City, stuffed the communication equipment into the airdrop box and threw it over.

It seems that his little players have successfully recovered the airdrop box and successfully set up a simple communication base station.

Restoring communication means that he can release tasks remotely, understand the local situation in real time, and call his little players more conveniently.

Thinking of this, a happy smile appeared on Chu Guang's face.

It is worthy of being a little player cultivated by him.

That excellent sense of self-management is as gratifying as ever.

Open the task editor.

Chu Guang retrieved the pre-set template, and was planning to arrange some exploration tasks for those outstanding little players, when Xiao Qi's voice suddenly came from beside his ear.

"Owner!"

"Your player found the crew of the Pioneer in Ruigu City, and that person was seriously injured..."

The index finger hanging in the air gave a slight pause.

Chu Guang didn't wait for Xiao Qi to finish speaking, and asked immediately.

"What's that person's name?"

"His name is Luo Hua, and he is the man who was always knocked unconscious by you before!"
