This game is too real.

Chapter 393 Bloody Battle in the Fog

"Giao!? Big Horned Deer God?!"

Walking in the corridor of the sample library where the serum is stored, with the tail of the headset hanging on his ear, he couldn't help but let out a fuss.

At this moment, the expressions on the faces of Rourou and Sesame Paste are also full of surprise, although the change in the expression of the former is not so obvious.

Since the edge guy kept his microphone on and the signal was not blocked, the translated subtitles were quickly and simultaneously translated to all nearby VMs.

Not only them.

Including the good brothers of the Death Corps.

At this moment, all the players who are active in the vicinity have completely gone through the plot triggered by Brother Edge.

"No wonder... that guy said that half of the chaos in this land comes from here." Rourou muttered in a low voice.

The process of natural selection has been artificially accelerated through genetic engineering, and a heterogeneous species with a strength far exceeding the normal level has been bred...

Not even just xenomorphs.

Including those marauders who maintained the life of the tribe.

Not all of them were descendants of clones produced by experiments in Vault 79, but some were clearly fused with genes flowing from here.

They have strong physiques, the development of some organs is different from ordinary people, and even show the characteristics of animalization under certain circumstances...

That is not awakening at all.

But -

"Is it genetic pollution..." Sesame Paste, holding the radio, whispered.

Tail suddenly found a blind spot and spoke.

"Wait... that Mother of Death Claw says she's the manager of Vault 79, who's that guy on the radio?"

Rourou: "Yongshi?"

Tail cocked his head.

"But didn't that plan fail?"

Sesame Paste thought for a moment and said.

"Maybe... it's just that the managers of Vault 79 think it failed, but some people don't think the experiment failed? After all, didn't the Mother of Death Claw say that some of the test subjects ran outside..."

As a result, they did not produce an immortal and morally perfect "Emperor", but not for nothing.

They successfully broke through the boundary of 23 pairs of chromosomes, and transplanted human consciousness to some kind of stronger existence, thereby breaking through the limit of human beings.

And this is exactly what they call "powerful not limited to the form of life".

The guy who called himself "Yong Shi" obviously believed that the experiment had been successful from the bottom of his heart.

Not only did he fully embrace evolution, but he also fully accepted his present self, thinking that he was the ultimate form of Project 79.

The three almost subconsciously thought of the death claw outside.

The Deathclaw regarded Xiangling Town as its own territory, kept the survivors there in the library, and took care of the heritage of the pre-war civilization and the entrance to Vault 79 for itself.

On the way to the research area, they found the bodies of mercenaries and bounty hunters.

Judging from the costumes and weapons of those people, it is obvious that they do not belong here, but more like wastelanders outside.

Obviously, they were not the first batch of survivors who were "fooled" into this century, let alone the first batch of people who helped that guy get the serum.

All the clues are connected in series, and the truth finally surfaced.

Rourou murmured to himself with a dazed face.

"No wonder he needs to rely on others to help him get the serum... With such a large volume, it really can't get in here."

The entire refuge was designed entirely for human habitation, and there were no passages or rooms for Deathclaws at all.

The mother of Deathclaw, who calls herself "Big Horned Deer God", is the best example. With its infinite expansion, it can only lie on its back and cannot move.

It can't even get food by itself, instead it needs to rely on the help of those skinny juniors... It's really hard to say who kept whom in captivity.

For some reason, the image of hot eyes suddenly appeared in Rourou's mind, and he immediately shook his head to drive the image out of his head.

Tail frowned, rubbing his chin in thought.

"But... the manager is still alive? How did he get the manager's authority?"

Sesame Paste shook his head.

"Then I don't know, maybe it's deception, maybe it's coercion, maybe there's some mechanism we don't understand about the transfer of the administrator's authority... In short, no matter what method it is, he obviously got the authority of the refuge door , have a chance to escape from this shelter."

Not even just the authority of the door of the shelter.

It is the authority of all rooms on the way from the research area to the refuge gate.

The authority of the administrator of this refuge seems to be divided, and it is not completely in the hands of the administrator.

Pausing for a moment, Sesame Paste looked at the sample library in front of him where the serum was stored, and continued with a complicated expression.

"I even have a feeling that perhaps the experiment here has never ended, and natural selection is still going on, including us... and those mercenaries who died a long time ago, all of which are part of the ongoing experiment."

"The reason why that 'Yongshi' is eager to get the serum is not only because he needs to use the serum to continue his life, but also because he needs to use the experimental results here... to use the serum that condenses countless experimental conclusions to become stronger. "

Rourou: "Hiss... Maybe it's really possible."

"Oh!" Tail said with sparkling eyes, "That's amazing! Is Sesame Paste actually a detective in reality?"

Seen by two pairs of adoring eyes, Sesame Paste's cheeks were slightly flushed, and the cat ears on the top of his head shook embarrassingly.

"I, I... just an ordinary teacher."

There are already so many leads.

It's normal to think...

The two standing at the door of the laboratory, a bear, just talked openly.

Although the radio was held in Zhi Ma Mu's arms, because of the language barrier, that Yong could not understand what they were talking about.

And since just now, the sound on the other end of the radio has disappeared, and even the tinkling of metal bumps can no longer be heard.

"What are we going to do now? Take the serum out?" Tail asked, rubbing his chin.

Rou Rou murmured, "That two-story Death Claw must be waiting for us outside... The Centuries of the previous legion were all driven away by it. If we went, it would be terrible."

That guy is pretty much immortal.

Even if he was bombarded by a 100mm artillery, he was still alive and kicking as if nothing happened.Even if the head is hit by a bullet, it can still be saved from death by virtue of its strong resilience and toughness.

At this moment, Sesame Paste's eyes rolled slightly.

"...I have an idea."

Tail gave a thumbs up without asking.

"Oh! Then do as you said!"

Rourou: "...?"

……

There is a whole box of serum stored in the laboratory, a total of 26 tubes, which seem to be produced by some kind of automated equipment.

As Sesame Paste guessed, this experimental facility is still working, and has been working according to the preset experimental process for a century.

Under the observation of intelligent experimental equipment, they extract evolutionary factors from the winners of natural selection, and purify them to synthesize serum that induces mutations.

Through dialogue with the manager of Vault 79, players have already learned the purpose of these serums.

They are not used to reverse the evolution that has already occurred, but to allow the mutated individuals to continue to evolve in a direction that is more extreme and more adaptable to the environment, and eventually a terrifying existence that transcends nature is born.

which is--

King of Death Claws!

The dog planner didn't name the BOSS wandering outside, players can only use their imagination to name it themselves.

At this time, the indebted big eye suddenly said on a whim.

"By the way... what if we give Junk Jun a shot?"

The drum washing machine froze for a moment.

"I don't know, why don't you try to fool it over here?"

The construction site boy and Brick said excitedly.

"That's a good idea! I'll call him on the forum later!"

Paddle on the edge coughed and patted the shoulders of the brothers.

"The serum has been obtained...we should also withdraw it."

After getting the serum, the players withdrew from Shelter No. 79 one after another and returned to the Municipal Library at No. 79 Xiangling Street.

Put the radio on the table.

Tail met Rourou and Sesame Paste, cleared his throat vigorously, reached out to turn on the power with a serious expression.

It's like completing some kind of religious ceremony.

"Dear Mr. Yongshi, we have successfully obtained the serum!"

After a brief current murmur.

A hoarse and low voice came from the radio.

"real?!"

Although the voice was full of tiredness, it still couldn't conceal the surprise that was almost overflowing.

"Oh! Really!"

Tail nodded vigorously, as a response to the surprise, and continued, "How should the serum be used? Do you just grab a foreign species and give it an injection?"

"Ahem...Of course it's not that useful. This serum is only effective for Deathclaws." The voice on the other end of the radio said immediately, as if worried that these people would waste the serum.

"Ah? That's it." Tail made a disappointed expression on his face, "But... how do we grab the claws of death?"

The voice on the radio spoke patiently.

"Death claws... are indeed difficult to deal with, but don't worry about this. I know an expert in this field. He has a way to make wild death claws obey and accept treatment obediently."

Sesame Paste suddenly interjected thoughtfully and asked.

"However, if the mutations that have already occurred are reversed...the degenerated death claws will soon be eliminated by natural selection? How to ensure that the traits can be inherited?"

"Don't worry about this, the change of traits will not happen immediately, but will be gradually superimposed in the genetic process... This will be a slow process."

It seemed that it was impossible to make it up. After being confused for a while, Yongshi ended the topic abruptly.

"The technology involved in this is too complicated to explain clearly in a few words... You don't have to understand so much, just do what I say. Please... just treat it for the people who are still alive in this world .”

This is the sentence again.

Tail, Sesame Paste and Rourou looked at each other.

Although it was still the same sentence, they clearly felt the change in this guy's attitude.

After learning that the serum had been brought out from the shelter, this guy didn't even bother to make up an excuse.

Perhaps in his view, it would not be difficult to snatch the box of serum from them.

However, perhaps considering the potential risk of serum damage, he is still trying to get the serum from them by coaxing.

If Sisi hadn't brought the diary to the official website, they might have been kept in the dark...

"Oh, no problem! What should we do?" Tail said with a wink.

The voice on the radio continued.

"I'll give you the coordinates...you can find the person I mentioned there, and he will tell you how to use those serums."

Thinking of the previous plan of Sesame Paste, Tail asked excitedly: "Now?"

Yong said patiently.

"Of course not now. That friend of mine doesn't want to go out at the risk of being discovered by that airship. Let's wait until the day after tomorrow."

"There should be fog in the morning of the day after tomorrow...you just need to bring the serum with you."

……

Knowing that the serum had been successfully transferred outside the shelter, Yong, who had been urging them to hurry up, was not so anxious.

Two days passed quickly.

When the appointed time came, the Knights of the Polar Bear followed the instructions of the radio and went to the appointed place with the serum.

However, to everyone's surprise, what is waiting here is not a human being, but a death claw that has just passed its infancy.

Its limbs were completely bitten off, and only half of its tail was left. It was lying on the ground, panting hoarsely as if it was howling.

Tail subconsciously clenched the assault rifle in his hand, raised the muzzle and aimed at the wild monster.

However, at this moment, the radio lying in Sesame's arms suddenly spoke.

"Don't worry, that guy is harmless, and it has become like this, it has no strength to bite you..."

Accompanied by a tooth-piercing laugh, that voice no longer concealed the excitement and cruelty in its tone.

Pretending not to hear anything unusual, Sesame Paste took a deep breath of the cold air, and continued to ask in a serious tone.

"Where's that friend of yours?"

"He... may not be able to come because of some things, but it's okay, it's the same with you here." Yongshi said perfunctorily in a pleasant voice.

Sure enough, the residents of the shelter are much easier to deceive than those cunning wastelanders.

In order to fool those mercenaries and bounty hunters to help him enter the shelter to recover serum, he kidnapped, threatened death, and promised benefits.

And now, he's just using an excuse to "save the world."

Counting on saving the world with a few serums...

Only the residents of the shelter would believe this kind of fairy tale.

Sesame paste asked seriously.

"What's next? What do you need us to do?"

"Hmm... Let me think about it. First, take the box and walk over there, then take out the serum in the upper left corner and give the beast an injection, any location will do."

Ordinary needles cannot pierce the scales of Deathclaw.

But obviously not including the one across the middle of the street.

That unlucky guy was poked blind, his limbs and tail were bitten off, and almost half of his life was left. His weak breath was like a candle in the wind, as if he would leave this world in the next second.

Obviously, that Yongshi didn't fully trust them.

Perhaps the serum came too easily, which made him alert, so he got a little guy who didn't know where to get it to "test the poison".

But she didn't intend to use the method of poisoning.

With the immunity and resilience of a hexagonal warrior like the Death Claw, I am afraid that it can only be poisoned to death with a dose that can sustain it.

"……Let me do it."

Giving Tail and Rourou a firm look, Sesame Paste pretended not to know, put the radio on the ground, and walked forward with the box.

She took out a serum from the silver-white box, aimed it at the bloody half of the shoulder, mustered up her courage, and poked the needle in her hand.

As the syringe was pushed down, a hoarse howl sounded almost at the same time.

The death claw that had been shot suddenly bounced off the ground like an electric shock, then lost its balance and fell back heavily.

As if returning to the light, it was like an earthworm, writhing painfully on the ground, spilling blood everywhere.

In less than a minute, the death claw suddenly straightened up, curled up into a ball on the ground, completely lost breathing and heartbeat, and stopped moving.

Witnessing the bloody scene in front of him, Sesame Paste standing aside was startled and couldn't help taking a step back.

"Fa, what happened?"

"Hahaha...it's nothing, it's fine!"

After dropping the half-sentence without beginning or end, the voice disappeared from the radio.

Almost at the same time, a majestic body emerged from the distant morning mist, its body was covered with iron chains, and it walked with heavy and steady steps.

Feeling the pressure coming towards their faces, the eyes of the two of them, one bear, couldn't help but widen.

"I'm giao... Oversized Junk Jun." Tail muttered in a low voice, couldn't help but glanced at the tall buildings in the distance, and then quickly looked away.

Rourou, who was standing next to her, was on guard nervously, and had already put on a defensive posture.

"Again, is it another female body?"

"Eh?! How do you know it's from the mother's body?"

Rourou's face blushed indistinctly.

"Look for yourself..."

The two-story-tall Deathclaw didn't take her guard to heart, and just glanced at her casually.

Suddenly, it spit out words.

"...Not all living beings can bear the grace of evolution. That little guy has already overdrawn his full potential, so it's normal to die."

It looked down at the two people and the bear standing in the middle of the street, its lips like rotten wood opened a cruel arc, and said with a smile.

"Don't panic...I won't hurt you, after all, you have done me such a big favor."

Sesame paste swallowed, and said in a trembling voice.

"You are... Yongshi?"

Although already guessed.

But seeing such a big guy uttering words, she still felt a little unbelievable.

"Looks like you're surprised,"

Appreciating the expression on the girl's face with satisfaction, Yong Shi was too lazy to make up those lame excuses, and continued in a commanding tone.

"Now, help me inject the serum. I will ask you to do one thing for me later, help me kill the animal in the No. 79 shelter, it is downstairs in the room at the entrance of the research area... something I'll pay you when it's done."

Its permissions are not complete.

A portion is still in the hands of the administrators of Vault 79.Only by killing that guy can he gain complete authority and completely control every inch of Vault 79.

Looking up at the giant, Sesame swallowed.

"The reward is..."

"evolution."

Said lightly, Yongshi looked down at her with a smile on his face, his breath blowing the blades of grass out of the concrete road swayed from side to side.

"Don't you want to be like me? Possess extraordinary power. You will retain your will and become the most powerful creature on this planet. You can even reproduce your own race and become their ancestors..."

Sesame paste had a stiff expression and did not speak.

The tail standing not far away suddenly trembled.

"Uh, sorry... I still think bears are cuter."

Rourou also nodded with a subtle expression.

"Well... I suddenly felt that being a bear would be nice."

According to the general RPG routine, there should be a divergence of options here. If you choose to embrace evolution, you may embark on another completely different main line.

However, if it is a game in beta testing, if you enter an unfinished branch, you may also jump out due to a bug...

"How should I inject you?" Sesame Paste asked cautiously, "The needle for injecting serum...can't pierce your scales at all, right?"

"this is very simple."

Satisfied with the docile attitude of the little girl in front of her, she slightly lowered her towering head and approached her.

Then, it slowly opened its bloody mouth.

The stench of the air rushed towards his face. It was obvious that it hadn't brushed its teeth since it became a heterogeneous species.

Looking at the forked tongue wriggling and throbbing capillaries, holding the sesame paste of the serum, I felt that the hairs all over my body were bundled up, and the blood in my whole body seemed to be coagulated.

however……

There has never been a more suitable opportunity than now.

The moment Yongshi relaxed her vigilance, she suddenly took out two grenades with shortened fuzes like lightning, and threw them into its mouth.

The moment the foreign matter was poured into the mouth, the washbasin-sized pupils were instantly stained with surprise and horror.

Instead of watching the explosion, Sesame Paste dexterously ducked to the side of the abandoned car.

Almost at the same time, there was a loud bang.

The bursting flames splashed wantonly, and the flying flesh and broken teeth stuck to the walls and abandoned cars on both sides of the street, making a scorching sound.

Sesame Paste carefully poked his head out of the bunker.

I saw the head that was like rotten wood, the whole chin was torn apart, dripping with blood...

"Is it done?"

There was a hint of excitement written in his eyes, but the excitement didn't stay for two seconds before it turned into solemnity as the huge body moved slowly.

I saw that the bloody wound seemed to be covered with wriggling earthworms, and it was almost healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although she had thought about it, it would be a bit whimsical to expect to defeat a boss of this level with two grenades.

However, what she didn't expect was that this guy's recovery speed completely exceeded her cognition. Even if the head suffered a fatal blow, even if the shrapnel pierced its skull, it could still recover as before, and even the time it took to make up the knife didn't give her...

Is this guy still a carbon-based creature? !
"very good……"

When the last inch of the wound was sutured, Yong shook his head slightly, the iron chains on his body bumped against each other, and turned to look at the sesame paste hiding behind the old car.

It opened its mouth slowly.

"The road to becoming a saint is right in front of you. I gave you a chance, but you stupidly chose to refuse..."

It stretched out its claws.

The half-meter-long blade curled like five hooked sickles, and the killing intent visible to the naked eye permeated the entire street in an instant through the thick morning fog.

At the same time, there was a distant, shrill noise that was boiling.

It was the howl of Deathclaws.

As we all know, summoning imp is an inherent skill of most level bosses, and it is obviously not here alone.

The surrounding area is its lair, and there are obviously others of its kind around here.

"I will use the cruelest method to kill you...including your kind."

"farewell--"

Before the words were finished, there was a flash of fire in the dense fog, and the sound of artillery billowed from a distance like thunder on the ground.

The 37mm armor-piercing incendiary bomb fired by the heavy cavalry gun spanned a distance of one kilometer and hit its buttocks heavily, causing its huge body to shake as if it had been kicked.

It also made it howl in pain.

"Oh! Si! Well done!" Tail waved his fist excitedly.

Visibility is less than [-] meters.

The shot that was fired based entirely on the coordinates of teammates to calculate the position actually hit the target!
Although it's a pity that it didn't hit the critical point...

With a slight gasp, a calm voice blew from the headset at the same time.

"Plan B—"

"Get out of the way!"
