Chapter 409 Triumph!With the players in the celebration (Dacha)
"My dear friend, do you know how much I miss you. Although the burning red cloud covered your body, your voice and smile still remain in my mind..."
"Survivor Daily" newspaper.
Hal moved a small bench and sat by the window, holding a half-empty wine bottle in his hand, belching, and reciting poems and odes in awkward grammar.
Usually no one pays attention to him.
From the perspective of most employees of the newspaper, this guy is just looking for an excuse to drink during the day.And it's not good to flatter him. Instead, he will be dragged on and on all day long, which will make him unable to complete today's task in the end.
"Your lover died?"
"Lover? Hiccup, superficial! This is for my best friend—" Hal called for a drink break, and just halfway through his drunken words, he suddenly froze.
I saw a person standing at the door of the newspaper office.
He was carrying a backpack on his back, and beside the backpack was an assault rifle. It was exactly the same as when he left here more than a week ago, and there was no visible injury on his body.
Hal froze.
Not only him, but the entire newspaper staff were stunned, and stopped flipping the pages and swishing their pens.
The whole newspaper office fell silent.
"Fang, Fang Chang!"
Hal excitedly stood up from the bench, put the wine bottle on the wooden window sill, and walked quickly to the door of the office.
Seeing the tearful expression, Fang Chang couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
"Could this be addressed to—"
"It's for you! The Spirit of the Sand Sea! Seeing that tragic battle report, I, I thought you had already died!" Grasping his shoulders with both hands, Hal shook him vigorously, his voice excited Incoherent, "Great, you're still here!"
Fang Chang coughed lightly.
"Thank you for caring so much about me..."
It's just that the emotion is a little too much.
About four days ago, he did die on the Heart of Iron, but after 72 hours, he woke up again in a single room on the B404 floor of Vault 2.
After waking up, Fang Chang didn't stop any longer, only took some simple luggage, and immediately set foot on the road to Boulder City.
The general caravan takes two days.
But because he was alone, and he was of the agility department, it only took him a day and a night to rush to the towering wall.
However, this road is also hard enough.
After summer, the alien species in the urban area became active again.
In the corner of the office, the new lady reporter looked at the two who were almost embracing each other in surprise, and turned her head to ask her colleagues in a low voice.
"Who is that person?"
"Chairman Fang, the president's friend, a resident of the nearby shelter, is a member of the alliance in the northern suburbs."
"A member of the alliance?! Then isn't he..."
"Yes, he received a mobilization order more than a week ago, and then returned to the northern suburbs to join the battle. And I heard that he is not only a member of the Alliance, but also the Burning Corps..."
In the entire Boulder City, no one does not know the name of the Burning Corps, and no one does not know the story about them.
Listening to what the colleague next to her said, the reporter's sister opened her eyes wide and stared at Fang Chang standing at the door in disbelief.
Suddenly, she stood up with a bang, grabbed the notebook and hurried to the door, looked at the hero who was trying to get rid of the president's entanglement, and said excitedly.
"That, that... hello!"
Fang Chang looked at her, a face he had never seen before, and said in confusion.
"็ Hello Who are you?"
"My name is Rose, and I'm a reporter for Survivor Daily. I just joined the job yesterday!" Reaching out to shake his hand, the reporter girl continued excitedly, "May I ask, are you a soldier of the Burning Legion?"
"Yes……"
"Were you involved in the airborne operation that day?"
Looking at Rose who kept approaching, Fang Chang subconsciously dodged back.
"Um……"
Hal gasped, looked at the man in front of him in surprise, and clenched his hands on his shoulders even harder.
"Spirit of the Sand Sea, you, you survived!"
And no injuries at all? !
Seeing the surprise in his eyes, Fang Chang coughed lightly, moved his eyes slightly, and continued.
"...Ah, that day was really tragic. Fortunately, the goddess of luck was on my side. Don't look at me as a normal person, but I was actually seriously injured."
As he spoke, Fang Chang looked at the two hands on his shoulders.
Seeing his sight, Hal quickly took his hand away and said apologetically.
"I do not know you……"
"fine."
Looking at Fang Chang standing at the door, Hal said with emotion.
"At that time, I heard that only one member of the Burning Legion survived, but I was terrified... Sorry, it seems a bit inappropriate for me to say that."
Those who died were, after all, his comrades in arms.
"It's okay..." Fang Chang continued vaguely, "I don't want to talk about this now...understand."
Hal nodded, and did not continue to pursue this heavy topic.
Fang Chang breathed a sigh of relief.
It is mentioned in the "Player Handbook" that in order to avoid errors in the NPC's AI algorithm, players must not "actively discuss off-site matters with NPCs" before the official public beta begins.
Off-site matters include different worlds, including the resurrection mechanism of the shelter, etc.
Unlike other rules, the penalty criteria for this rule are very vague, but the punishment is heavy, and it involves the qualification of the beta test.
Some NPCs actually know that they can be resurrected, such as the manager and the white-haired lady in the infirmary, etc.And some non-core NPCs have heard some rumors, but most of these rumors are outrageous, and the versions are not uniform.
No veteran player who has even learned the language of the game would risk losing his beta qualifications to testify or clarify these rumors in public, and he certainly couldn't do such a stupid thing.
Honestly abide by the convention, and avoiding this topic before the public beta starts is the best choice.
But I have to talk to that boy Ye Shi later, lest I have to talk nonsense for a long time, which is too time-consuming.
"Um...can I interview you? Mr. Hero." Looking at Fang Zhang who was let go by the president, Rose said a little nervously, "If it's a topic that offends you, you don't have to answer it."
"About that day... I actually have nothing to say, everything depends on the alliance's news." Looking at the new reporter in front of him, Fang Chang suddenly came back to his senses.
He was wondering just now if Dolly had gone out for an interview, but seeing how idle this newcomer was, it didn't seem to be the case.
"Where's Dolly? Didn't she come to work?" Fang Chang looked at Hal, "I wanted to ask just now, why is there a new recruit here?"
Facing the sight of his friend, Hal had a slightly embarrassed expression, and said falteringly.
"She... just left yesterday."
Fang Chang said with a surprised face.
"gone?!"
Hal nodded slowly.
"Well... You may not know that the news of the front line came here almost that night. Although we didn't get the specific casualty list, we got the news that there was only one survivor from the Burning Corps. You don't know, she was How hopeless..."
Fang Chang hissed and gasped, and asked immediately.
"Where is she now!"
Hal said with a look of dodge.
"Early yesterday morning, she submitted her resignation letter, saying that she was going to Shuguang City to find you. I persuaded her to wait, but she still insisted on leaving. We can't live without reporters, so I hired another reporter. A... Of course! I did not approve her resignation, her letter is still here, and she can come back to work at any time."
Fang Chang was silent for a moment, then sighed.
"It's my fault."
Thinking of giving Dolly a surprise, he immediately went to Boulder City as soon as he was resurrected, but he didn't expect to pass her by...
With that said, Chang Fang tightened the backpack on his shoulders and turned around.
Hal was taken aback when he saw this, and asked subconsciously.
"Where are you going?"
"go back."
After leaving this sentence, Fang Chang had disappeared at the door of the newspaper office.
Standing next to the stunned president, Rose was writing in the notebook with bright eyes, chattering excitedly.
"Is this love?"
The hero who boarded the Heart of Iron, and the little wife who is looking forward to his return...etc.
Rose quickly looked at the president.
"Are they lovers, or have they already..."
As she spoke, she closed the cap of the pen with great interest, looking forward to it.
Hal glanced at the shorthand notebook in Rose's hand, which was full of pages. After reading two lines, he couldn't help but blushed and coughed dryly.
"...we're not that kind of newspaper."
……
The fifth day of the war.
The broken wing of the Heart of Steel floating above Ruigu City has been repaired.
Although it is not very beautiful, it does not affect its participation in the triumphant celebration.
Standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows of the bridge, Chu Guang looked at the clear sky and the gradually rising sun in the distance, and squinted his eyes slightly with a comfortable expression.
At this moment, the whole land seemed to be under his feet. Looking around, he could have a panoramic view of mountains, rivers, jungles and plains.
Is this what it's like to be on a starship?
Sooner or later he's going to get a bigger one!
Except for the quest masters who planned to stay in Sanctuary 79 and Camp Fallen Leaves to do quests, all the players who planned to go back with him to pretend to be aggressive had already boarded the ship.
Complacent in his heart, Chu Guang commanded vigorously.
"start sailing!!"
Xiaoqi's untimely reminder came from beside her ear.
"Master, there are no sails on the Iron Heart."
Chu Guang laughed.
"It's not important! I said yes."
This AI is usually quite smart, but its emotional intelligence is not very high.
Look at how smart that Phenod is, he didn't dare to fart, he only dared to say "yes" obediently, and then went away without saying a word.
Most of the captured engineers were technicians, and there were not many opportunities to actually fly the airship. They operated the equipment in a hurry, and finally managed to put away the anchor chain that had fallen on the ground, and started the engine of the airship.
Feynold heaved a sigh of relief, finally saved his head, and looked expectantly at Chu Guang who was standing by the French window.
However, it is a pity that the manager's attention is probably not on his side at the moment, and he did not mention the reduction of the ransom at all.
Finod tried to remind him.
"Dear Master Manager, our speed can reach about 20 knots, and we should be able to reach Qingquan City before noon."
Chu Guang said with a hearty smile.
"good."
Feynold waited for a long time, but without waiting for the next sentence, he closed his mouth with an aggrieved face.
The wings strengthened by steel plates fluttered slightly, and driven by fusion electric energy, the old-fashioned propellers began to rotate.
Accompanied by whistling and humming, the majestic steel fortress began to advance towards the east!
That huge body drove across the wilderness, and the sharp-edged armor was covered with the golden color of dawn and dusk. Seeing the colorful lights above their heads, many wild alien species shrank back into their caves in fright and fled in all directions.
Stand in front of the terminal on the bridge.
Chu Guang asked Xiaoqi to connect the communication system to the speakers all over the cabin, picked up the walkie-talkie on the table, cleared his throat and said loudly.
"This flight will be bound for Qingquan City——"
"Let us go home with victory and glory!"
After speaking in Renlian language, he repeated it in Mandarin, and soon he heard the thunderous cheers.
"Aww! You can go home soon!"
"Mosquito?! Didn't you go back a long time ago?"
"What's the matter! Grandpa can't parachute over and go back again?!"
"Fuck, you have something wrong!"
"Draw a lottery! Draw a lottery! I want to draw a lottery! Gouyue's spring water, if it's the god Ouhuang this time, I'll kill him!"
"???"
"Giao! Meaty, you blocked the window!"
"Fujito! Look at the duck! The dawn of the dawn blends with the endless night of the land. This game is really full of love in every frame, woo woo woo, it's so beautiful!"
"Uh-uh--"
I don't know who it was that short and dull sob, but it sounded like a sound surrounded by happiness... Presumably at this moment, there must be tears in my eyes.
Chu Guang laughed, and suddenly wanted to drink something.
However, just as he was about to open a bottle of General McLennan's treasure, Xiao Qi's nervous voice came from his ear.
"Master! There are four unknown targets approaching on the radar."
Chu Guang raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Oh?"
Who is so bold, dare to spoil his interest!
Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Guang ordered.
"Air defense artillery ready!"
The anti-aircraft gun on the top of the airship began to rotate, and the hedgehog-like gun barrels were aimed at the aircraft flying this way from [-] kilometers away.
虽然吊舱上的对地支援火炮需要人工操作，但12门100mm、144门20~30mm高炮却是安装有自动火控系统的。
Just yesterday, Xiao Qi had mastered the control of the fire control system and firmly locked the airspace in front of the airship.
Chu Guang said calmly.
"The warning range is 10 kilometers. If the other party doesn't take the initiative to connect to our communication, don't ask me, just shoot them down!"
Xiao Qi: "Got it!"
At this point in time, Chu Guang could guess where these people came from with his feet.
The red dot on the radar was approaching, and when it approached 15 kilometers, it suddenly stopped.At the same time, a communication request came from the communication channel.
Glancing at the screen, Chu Guang ordered.
"Connect."
Communication is quickly connected.
A calm voice came from the opposite side.
"This is the Boulder City militia, and I am the captain of the aviation squadron of the militia... Li Hua, can I come up and talk to you?"
This name seems to have been heard somewhere a long time ago, probably when the Pioneer first arrived.
But Chu Guang has forgotten who he heard about it from.
Maybe it was Luo Hua, maybe it was someone else.
Chu Guang thought for a while and said.
"can."
A dolphin-like aircraft flew in the distance.
It has a wide nose and a slender fuselage, and the two engines are arranged one behind the other at the bottom, spraying a coquettish light blue arc of fire, pushing the aircraft slowly through the shield of the Heart of Steel , hovering over the belly of the airship.
The hatch opened slowly.
The vertical take-off and landing aircraft ascended into the cabin along with the entrained airflow.
Standing in the landing cabin with a layout resembling a U-shaped port, Chu Guang watched the sci-fi aircraft come to a stop, and then a man wearing an exoskeleton stepped down.
Walking down with him were three bodyguards also wearing exoskeletons, standing next to the aircraft with live ammunition.
Lu Bei stood next to Chu Guang with no expression on his face, clenched the weapon in his hand, and stared at those people motionlessly.
If they tried to do anything wrong to the managers, he would not hesitate to do it.
But the man didn't look at him, and motioned his subordinates to stay beside the vertical take-off and landing plane, and walked up to Chu Guang alone.
"Let me introduce myself again, my name is—"
"Li Hua," Chu Guang stretched out his right hand, gave him a brief shake and then let go, and continued, "I am the manager of the alliance, please explain why you are here."
Li Hua was slightly taken aback.
Because Chu Guang said what he wanted to say.
Gathering his mind, he continued.
"...I am here to communicate with you on behalf of the city lord. If your airship continues to move forward, it will enter our air defense identification zone."
Chu Guang looked at him calmly.
"According to the contract, we have given up all the airspace within the North Fourth Ring Road and the Fifth Ring Road in other directions in Qingquan City. We promise to abide by the agreement."
Li Hua frowned slightly.
"Your artillery has a range of at least 20 kilometers."
Chu Guang smiled lightly.
"It's hard to say, maybe 40 kilometers, maybe 100 kilometers, who knows?"
Li Hua narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Aren't you afraid of misfiring a gun?"
Hearing the threat in that voice, Lu Bei's expression turned cold, and he took half a step forward.
Seeing the boy's movements, the three bodyguards guarding the plane suddenly became nervous, and their index fingers unconsciously placed on the weapon safety.
The atmosphere in the landing cabin was tense.
Looking at Li Hua who was full of vigilance in his eyes, Chu Guang said in a calm tone.
"When has the alliance ever been afraid?"
Feeling a bit troublesome from the man in front of him, Li Hua lowered his voice, and his tone softened a little.
"If you insist on passing, I need to ask the city lord for instructions..."
"It's okay, you ask for your instructions, and I'll go mine."
The league will negotiate with anyone.
But will not become anyone's vassal.
As the manager of the league, he has no obligation to listen to anyone's instructions.
The mask of the power armor was closed, Chu Guang turned around, and looked sideways at Lu Bei and other guards soldiers.
"see a visitor out."
"Yes!"
Taking orders neatly, Lu Bei looked at the man named Li Hua in front of him, and said in an uncompromising tone.
"Sir, please go back."
Li Hua stared at him, then at the power armor walking towards the door, and the soldiers with live ammunition beside them.
He had no doubt that if he said no, he would be thrown down by these murderous soldiers immediately.
Gritting his teeth, he turned around.
"go!"
The engine of the vertical take-off and landing plane was re-ignited, and Li Hua and his three guards who had boarded the plane left the airship, passed through the deflector shield, and headed back towards the direction of Boulder City.
There were three other planes returning with them.
Watching the distant signal on the radar, Chu Guang felt emotional.
really.
Equality is only within the range of cannons, and equal force is the premise of dialogue.
He knew very well that if he hadn't ordered Xiao Qi to point the anti-aircraft guns at them just now, these allies who were forced to squat in the same trench with him would not have approached him honestly...
The lord of Boulder City might be thankful at this moment that those "servants" he didn't care about had some foresight and established diplomatic relations with the alliance on their own initiative.
Chu Guang will keep his promise, the aircraft of the alliance will not enter the airspace of Qingquan City, the exchanges between the two sides in the economic and cultural fields will continue, and he will continue to repay the interest that should be paid... After all, credit is more precious than gold.
Whether in the long run or in the immediate future, a peaceful and stable Boulder City is more beneficial to the alliance.
He will bring a new order to the land.
rather than chaos.
Returned to the bridge.
Chu Guang, who stopped in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looked towards the east. Wherever he looked, he could already see the gradually clear outline of the city.
He seemed to have heard the cheers of the people.
With a smile on his lips, he ordered.
"Keep going!"
And Xiaoqi's energetic voice came from the side.
"okay!"
……
The majestic Heart of Steel finally arrived at the northern suburb of Qingquan City.
However, the logo of the legion has been erased, the flag has been broken, and replaced by the Union flag hanging under the bridge——
The several-meter-long flag fluttered in the wind, buzzing amid the cheers of the people.
The radar of Boulder City immediately followed the arrival of the behemoth, and watched it drive to the northern suburbs and drop in height, but there was nothing to do.
The city lord has ordered——
Let it go.
There is no way to let it go, while the anti-aircraft guns and missiles in Boulder City are waiting in full force, the 400mm main gun is aimed at this side.
God knows if the devastating sub-nuclear weapon is in the chamber.
No one doubted whether those country bumpkins in the northern suburbs dared to fight. After all, they even dared to beat up members of the legion, and they even beat up two and a half times...
Boulder City, the radar station on the giant wall.
Sitting in front of the terminal connected to the radar, the officer on duty frowned, praying silently in his heart, hoping that no accident would happen.
At least not today, when I am on duty...
At this moment, footsteps came from the door, and a soldier stood at attention and gave a military salute.
"Report sir! The Alliance embassy sent a message, informing us that there will be a fireworks show in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City at [-]:[-] p.m., so let us not be nervous."
That's beyond words.
They obviously didn't mean to ask for their consent.
The moment he heard the report, the officer's blood pressure rushed to his forehead, and he immediately got up from his chair, stepped forward and grabbed the soldier by the collar.
"Fireworks show?!"
"Don't tell me, they plan to use that airship—"
Staring nervously at the bad-tempered officer, the soldier swallowed and said tremblingly.
"I, I don't know, they didn't say that specifically..."
The entire upper echelon of Boulder City was in a mess.
At the same time, Dawn City, more than ten kilometers away, was full of lights and festoons, and it was as lively as Chinese New Year—even more lively than Chinese New Year.
Girls holding flower baskets threw the fresh flowers into the air and danced upwards together with the ribbons hanging on the eaves.
Amidst the drumbeats and music, the airship slowly lowered its altitude, shut down its engine, and lowered its anchor chain.
The boxy concrete platform was covered with a red carpet.
Guards with rifles stood in a line, maintaining order at the scene.
The elevator slowly lowered and landed on the platform covered with red carpet.
As the azure blue power armor stepped on the carpet, as tall and stalwart figures came into view, the atmosphere of the scene also reached its peak.
People cheered, shouted, and vented their excitement and excitement.
"Long live the manager!"
"Long Live the Alliance!"
"For the great alliance!"
In the cheers of the people, Chu Guang smiled and waved.
Those eyes full of admiration and reverence are the most shining treasures to him.
Wait for the din to stop for a while.
Looking around at the familiar faces, Chu Guang cleared his throat, turned on the speaker on the power armor, and said in a solemn and clear voice.
"Today, we wrote history, we defeated an enemy that was considered invincible, and we rescued our oppressed compatriots."
"This hard-won victory and honor belongs to all of us!"
"Whether it is a soldier fighting bravely on the front line, a farmer working in the field, or a sweaty worker in a factory or construction site, those who contribute in their own way..."
"This is a victory we have won together. Unity has allowed us to come from nothing to where we are today. I am not the only one who should be honored—"
"Cheers to victory!"
"For our tomorrow—"
"for us!"
Thunderous cheers and applause resounded through the square again.
Chu Guang motioned to Luca, the lord of Dawn City, who was waiting at the side, and announced the schedule of the celebration and the start of the award ceremony.
Since the greetings were made in advance, the players dressed honestly like human beings, including the most noisy tails and mosquitoes.
The honorable man's funeral is tomorrow.
All that's needed today is to drink, sing, and rejoice—
Don't let sorrow live up to that hard-won peace.
corner of the crowd.
Looking at the figure walking down from the airship, there was a faint red cloud on Shuangxue's peaceful cheeks, and her eyes were looking straight in that direction.
Shuanghe, who was standing by the side, saw that his younger sister's hands were flushed, and couldn't help laughing and teasing this simple little girl.
"Which young man do you like, do you need me to buy you a bouquet of flowers?"
The red cloud climbed to the tip of the ear in an instant.
Glaring reproachfully at her sister who was teasing her, Shuangxue hurriedly looked left and right, seeing that no one was paying attention, she whispered guiltyly.
"I... am not worthy of that lord."
Not out of inferiority or reserve.
She knew very well in her heart that that adult belonged to everyone living here, including her brothers and sisters, father, mother, grandfather...
She didn't expect those eyes that were as hot as torches to stay on her body.
It would be nice to be able to stand in the crowd and watch silently, watching him come back safe and sound.
Seeing the expression on her face, Shuanghe guessed that the little girl was still having that unrealistic dream, so he sighed softly.
"You...forget it."
Everyone has the age when they love to dream and love to touch themselves.
including herself.
This is human nature.
Some things can't be conveyed in words at all. When you get older, get in touch with more people, and become more mature, you will naturally understand.
Right in the middle of the square.
Warriors with outstanding merits walked up to the azure blue power armor, and the manager personally took over the special medals and put them on.
Among them are the residents of the refuge, as well as the aborigines on this land.
If they are players, in addition to physical medals, they will also receive electronic medals that can be displayed on the forum account page, as well as additional contribution point rewards.
After accepting the medal, they will walk towards the crowd below the platform under the gaze of reverence.
Just like when they came from the crowd when they went out.
Those who were infected by the warm atmosphere and the shining honor were not just the residents of Dawn City who were onlookers.
There are also those who came from Dawn City, Boulder City, and even a little further away from the Red River Alliance, Garbage City and other survivor settlements, as well as businessmen and travelers from east to west.
Zhou Nan, standing in the corner of the crowd, looked at the Heart of Steel bathed in the scorching sun, and said with emotion.
"This thing is really big."
In his hand was a popsicle bought from a vendor, which turned out to be Coca-Cola flavored.I have to say that the creativity of these blue coats is getting more and more surprising.
Every time he came from Jinchuan Province, he would see different novelties.
And these novel gadgets can often help him earn a lot.
Sun Shiqi, who was standing aside, narrowed his eyes, and suddenly spoke.
"The Alliance controls the west gate of the southern corridor of the River Valley Province. The commercial route leading to the Sunset Province is estimated to be more prosperous than it is now. According to their usual practice, the pre-war road should be repaired and the railway will be paved... by then Demand for steel and cement will be strong."
After a pause, he continued.
"I plan to invest in a steel factory in Qingshi County."
Zhou Nan glanced at him in surprise.
He did know that this drinking buddy had bought a house here and bought some properties, but he didn't expect that he planned to open a steel factory.
That is a heavy asset and cannot be moved easily.
If something happens, it will be for nothing for several years.
"If this legion and the alliance get involved... aren't you afraid of being affected by the flames of war?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of."
Looking at the blue power armor and the steel fortress flying in the sky, Sun Shiqi smiled confidently.
"I have been to so many places, and there is no place where survivors live, which makes me feel more secure than here."
……
"...I didn't expect me to have a share."
Returning from the crowded square to Chengbei Commercial Street, looking at the shiny medal on his chest, the corners of Fujiteng's mouth could not help but curl up for the tenth time.
In the center of the medal is a gear, just like the gate of the shelter, engraved with a commemorative 79, representing the No. 79 shelter that has just been included in the recovery area.
The electronic version of the medal is synchronized in the VM, and the description text after selection is the same as that of the Alpha version - "We set out from here".
Although I haven't been on the front line for a long time, it's quite interesting to play with everyone occasionally.
Unknowingly, he walked to the door of the elegant and unique clothing store. Just as Fujiteng saw the open door, a beautiful figure rushed out.
"Fujito!!!"
"Ugh-"
Before Fujiteng could say a word after returning home, a suffocating black shadow collided with her.
hateful--
This damn height.
Fujiteng rolled his eyes, and was about to disconnect, but fortunately, Yaya next to him saw it, and hurried up to help, holding back the teary-eyed shop assistant lady.
"Ah! Come on, let go! Fujito is going to be out of breath!"
"!!!"
Damn you know!
Finally breaking free from his clerk's arms, Fujiteng cleared his throat vigorously, stared at the man and complained.
"Do you want me to die!"
It's been a tough three days, okay?
The reprimanded girl lowered her head and kept apologizing and saying sorry.
Her name is Huahua, she has long black hair and wheat-colored skin, and she is wearing a British-style classic maid dress.
This is the work clothes that Fujito designed for her out of personal interest, because it feels very suitable for her slightly shy temperament.
As for other players complaining that the skirt is too long and unreasonable, but she doesn't intend to deal with those old monsters who don't understand art at all.
Like many residents of Dawn City, Huahua is also a refugee from other areas, and her original name was "Catlanca".
Since it would be strange to translate it into Chinese, Fujiteng gave her a nickname.
This situation is not uncommon in the wasteland.
Homeless people readily accept names bestowed on them by locals, which often means paternalistic acceptance.
Not to mention the donations from the residents of the shelter.
"Yes, I'm sorry! I'm just too excited... You, you left a note and left. I'm worried that you will be in danger on the front line..."
The tears hanging on the eyelashes made it hard to lose your temper, Fujiteng sighed, with a soft smile on his face.
"It made you worry, but it's okay, anyway, I also—"
However, before the heartwarming words could be finished, they were interrupted by Yaya who was patting his chest.
"That's right! Don't worry, Huahua, I'm here! Although Fujiteng's fighting power is a little weaker, I will protect her!"
Huahua, who didn't know the truth, hurriedly bowed.
"Thank you for bringing our boss back."
Fujito: "..."
This guy.
I really don't blush at all.
……
Throughout the afternoon, Dawn City was immersed in a festive atmosphere.
With the end of the awarding ceremony, the lively crowd gradually moved from the square to the commercial street, which also brought more prosperity than before.
Highway Town Inn.
There was a lot of chatter in the lobby, the foam of beer and the noisy spittle almost flew to the ceiling, and the surviving aborigines immersed themselves in the feeling of being alive.
Among them are soldiers from the First Corps, mercenaries who fought with the alliance, and residents of the refuge.
Lao Bai and Kuang Feng, who were revived two days ago, finally reunited with Ye Shi, who returned with the airship, in the game.
Three good brothers are sitting in front of the bar in the lobby, munching on barbecue and drinking mellow beer.
Free beer and food today.
Everyone is ready to enter vertically and exit horizontally.
"Damn it! Where's Fang Chang's dog?"
Looking at Ye Shi who couldn't stop talking, Kuangfeng hiccupped with a drunken face.
"Why do you ask such a... fish lip question?"
"That's right!" Lao Bai also said with a smile, "That guy just climbed out of the training cabin, picked up his bag and ran to Boulder City... What do you think he is doing?"
That guy probably figured it out.
I didn't even frown when I drilled into the 400mm main gun, I'm afraid I had planned to die early and go home early.
Ye Shi couldn't help but cursed.
"Damn! A guy who values sex and despises friends!"
"Hi-I can't do it."
The gust of wind, which was still slightly drunk a second ago, suddenly made a bang, and there was an intimate contact between the forehead and the bar, and it seemed to be disconnected.
"Hahaha! Hey!"
Ye Shi let out a strange laugh, and his butt slid off the stool without complacency for two seconds.Thanks to Lao Baiyanji's quick hand, the war hero didn't get under the table in shame.
"This bunch of rookies."
Putting Ye Shi down on the bar counter, Lao Bai, who picked up the wine glass again, sighed helplessly, feeling as lonely as snow.
However, the metabolism speed of the intelligence department and the perception department is there, and the character attributes determine the matter, and they can't be blamed.
Drinking to the fullest, you still have to quit smoking, Lao Na and the others. Players with a physique system have a fast metabolism. They go to the toilet after drinking two sips.
But they also have their own affairs, and they don't know where to go to have fun right now.
Seeing the joyful people on their faces, Old Hook standing behind the bar could not help but be infected by their optimism, and a smile appeared on his face.
While wiping his glass, he said.
"It's good to see you again, that news shocked me."
Ye Shi and Kuangfeng have almost finished their food and are struggling with the network connection.
Lao Bai took a drink break and sighed slightly drunk.
"Hey, it's true that many brothers died...especially those who parachuted."
Old Hook also poured himself a glass of beer, and clinked glasses with Lao Bai who was sitting in front of the bar.
"Don't talk about it, I shouldn't mention it today... I hope you have a good drink."
Old Bai laughed out loud.
"Oh! That must be!"
At this time, a figure entered the door.
She was wearing a plain long dress, and her face was full of tension and embarrassment, as if she couldn't adapt to the lively atmosphere here.
Next to her was a guard in a black uniform.
Old Hook recognized the guard as a young man from a nearby village, but he was unfamiliar with the little girl in front of him, and felt that she didn't look like a person from the nearby area.
"Comrade guard, do you want to have a drink together?" Old Hook said with a smile.
The young guard quickly shook his head.
"I'm on official duty. Let's change the guard in the middle of the night."
Old Hook looked at the little girl next to him.
"Who is this?"
"I," the girl said nervously before the guard could speak, "My name is Lisa... Is there anyone named 'Pangolin' here?"
While speaking, she hurriedly glanced around the lively lobby, but a trace of disappointment soon appeared on her face.
Apparently she didn't find the man she was looking for.
Hearing the word pangolin, Lao Bai was slightly taken aback.
Putting down the wine glass in his hand, he turned his head while sitting on the round stool, looked at the slightly thin girl, and asked.
"The pangolin you're talking about is—"
"You, do you know him?" Before he finished speaking, Lisa asked excitedly.
Lao Bai scratched his head.
"He's gone on a long journey. Is there anything urgent for him? I can help you with a message. "
This is not difficult.
Just chat privately on the forum.
Lisa was silent for a while, then spoke in a low voice.
"Will he come back?"
Looking at the expression on her face, Lao Bai probably guessed something, nodded after a moment of silence, and said seriously.
"Sure, but I don't know how long."
Lisa bit her lower lip lightly.
"I'll wait for him."
After leaving this sentence, she followed the guard and left the hotel.
Without mentioning the matter of helping with the conversation, Lao Bai turned to face the bar and started drinking.
Outsiders can't get involved in this kind of thing, and it's not appropriate.
Seeing her like that, it is obvious that she has something to say to Zhan Diyou in person, and it is better not to worry about it without understanding the style.
Old Hook glanced at the door.
"People from the recovery area?"
Lao Bai replied, "Yes."
Old Hook sighed.
"Also a miserable person..."
……
As night fell, there were only sporadic figures left in the bustling square, most of them went to Chengbei Commercial Street.
A petite figure shuttled through the crowd, searched for a long time, finally dropped his shoulders giving up, and walked towards the post station.
The businessman standing next to the two-headed ox cart yawned while counting the goods, preparing to leave early tomorrow morning and continue to Luoxia Province.
At this time, a young girl came up to him and stopped.
Glancing at the light green hair, the businessman's gaze stayed on the electronic prosthetic eye, guessing that this person should be a rich man, so he said politely.
"What's the matter, miss."
A hoarse voice came.
"... How much is it to go to Ruigu City?"
When the businessman heard that the business was coming, his heart burst into joy, and he said immediately.
"500 Dinars! Or 100 Silver Coins, 300Cr... Don't need chips, I won't go to Boulder City, see what you are willing to pay, I can do it!"
Dolly's eyes widened, and she couldn't help saying.
"Five hundred dinars?! You are extorting!"
The businessman shrugged nonchalantly.
"You can also go on your own."
Dolly gritted her teeth.
In order to leave Boulder City and ask a reliable caravan to come to Dawn City, she spent a lot of money, leaving only 50 chips in her pocket.
Probably heard the conversation between the two, a group of people dressed as mercenaries came over suddenly, and the person at the head of them spoke with a smile.
"Hey, friend, are you going to Luoxia Province? We happen to be going the same way, do you want to go together? 10 dinars are enough for each person."
The businessman sneered.
"Oh, no need."
The mercenary didn't care, and looked at Dolly, and when his eyes fell on that face, an imperceptible greed flashed in his eyes.
Keenly aware of the flicker in his eyes, Dolly's eyes quickly showed a trace of alertness, and she took a step back.
"No need...I'll ask someone else."
Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly, the man couldn't help feeling a little impatient, and was about to take a step forward when a strange voice suddenly came from behind.
"It's too expensive, it costs 10 dinars, beautiful lady, I don't charge for it—"
Hearing that someone dared to steal his business, the mercenary narrowed his eyes immediately, and was about to turn his head to see which unlucky thing it was.
However, at this moment, a gust of wind happened to blow past his collar and swept across his neck, which also chilled the burning fire in his heart.
So fast!
He didn't even see what it was before the voice brushed past him.
"—In exchange, just watch the fireworks with me."
The familiar voice floated to my ears along with the evening wind.
Looking at the longing smile, Dolly's eyes widened slightly, and she could hardly believe her own eyes.
"square……"
"I'm back, keep you waiting—"
Hot emotions poured out together with tears, and she couldn't hold it back anymore.
Before the second half of the sentence was finished, Fang Chang felt a gust of wind blowing, and there was a touch of light softness between his lips and teeth.
For a moment, he felt that his brain was down and blank.
However, it didn't drop.
The eyes dilated slightly, then slowly closed again.
He felt the hot raindrops rolling on his lips, with a hint of saltiness.
'Feel sorry. '
'Awaited. '
'make you worry. '
I have a lot to say.
But at the moment it all seems redundant.
He slowly put down his joking expression and outstretched hands, and hugged the person in his arms.
Fireworks bloom in the sky.
The fireworks all over the sky floated brilliantly in the sky, just like the rain of fire blowing into the sky like migratory locusts that night.
But he was willing to go ten more times if necessary.
Even without any rewards...
……
Not far from the square.
Tail riding on the fleshy shoulders, raised his hands in the pose of a telescope, looking excitedly at the fireworks in the sky.
"Oh! Si! Rourou! Sesame paste! Look at the airship setting off fireworks!"
Clusters of flames rushed to the sky, and the colorful patterns spread out in the air, illuminating the dark night together with her eyes, reflecting the flickering light.
Sisi looked at the time on the VM and stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"Well, it seems to be 2 minutes earlier..."
It's really obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Sesame paste hugged her shoulder from behind with a smile on his face.
"Well... just look good, don't care about these details."
now.
The anti-aircraft guns on the top of the airship pointed straight at the sky, continuously unleashing intensive firepower, but it was not aimed at shooting down any aircraft.
But to send blessings to those who look up at the sky.
Holding a wine glass in his hand, Chu Guang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the ground illuminated by the fireworks, with a faint smile on his lips.
A slightly regretful voice came from Xiao Qi's ear.
"Hey, master, you can't see anything here... why don't you go down."
That was a firework show that it had carefully prepared for a long time.
However, the bridge is in the belly of the airship, and the sky cannot be seen at all.
Chu Guang smiled faintly, looked at the land illuminated by fireworks outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and said in a very soft voice.
"Why can't you see it?"
He has already seen the most beautiful scenery.
It was those shining faces looking up at the night sky.
He raised his glass and lightly touched the floor-to-ceiling window, and there was a crisp jingle sound, blending into the sound of the wind whistling outside the window.
"Cheers to the Unbreakable Union."
Enjoy the celebration.
And that peaceful evening breeze.
Everything here is bought with your blood and sweat.
Usually 6K, today should be counted as two updates, the celebration is finished in one go, I feel like I will starve to death...
(End of this chapter)
"My dear friend, do you know how much I miss you. Although the burning red cloud covered your body, your voice and smile still remain in my mind..."
"Survivor Daily" newspaper.
Hal moved a small bench and sat by the window, holding a half-empty wine bottle in his hand, belching, and reciting poems and odes in awkward grammar.
Usually no one pays attention to him.
From the perspective of most employees of the newspaper, this guy is just looking for an excuse to drink during the day.And it's not good to flatter him. Instead, he will be dragged on and on all day long, which will make him unable to complete today's task in the end.
"Your lover died?"
"Lover? Hiccup, superficial! This is for my best friend—" Hal called for a drink break, and just halfway through his drunken words, he suddenly froze.
I saw a person standing at the door of the newspaper office.
He was carrying a backpack on his back, and beside the backpack was an assault rifle. It was exactly the same as when he left here more than a week ago, and there was no visible injury on his body.
Hal froze.
Not only him, but the entire newspaper staff were stunned, and stopped flipping the pages and swishing their pens.
The whole newspaper office fell silent.
"Fang, Fang Chang!"
Hal excitedly stood up from the bench, put the wine bottle on the wooden window sill, and walked quickly to the door of the office.
Seeing the tearful expression, Fang Chang couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
"Could this be addressed to—"
"It's for you! The Spirit of the Sand Sea! Seeing that tragic battle report, I, I thought you had already died!" Grasping his shoulders with both hands, Hal shook him vigorously, his voice excited Incoherent, "Great, you're still here!"
Fang Chang coughed lightly.
"Thank you for caring so much about me..."
It's just that the emotion is a little too much.
About four days ago, he did die on the Heart of Iron, but after 72 hours, he woke up again in a single room on the B404 floor of Vault 2.
After waking up, Fang Chang didn't stop any longer, only took some simple luggage, and immediately set foot on the road to Boulder City.
The general caravan takes two days.
But because he was alone, and he was of the agility department, it only took him a day and a night to rush to the towering wall.
However, this road is also hard enough.
After summer, the alien species in the urban area became active again.
In the corner of the office, the new lady reporter looked at the two who were almost embracing each other in surprise, and turned her head to ask her colleagues in a low voice.
"Who is that person?"
"Chairman Fang, the president's friend, a resident of the nearby shelter, is a member of the alliance in the northern suburbs."
"A member of the alliance?! Then isn't he..."
"Yes, he received a mobilization order more than a week ago, and then returned to the northern suburbs to join the battle. And I heard that he is not only a member of the Alliance, but also the Burning Corps..."
In the entire Boulder City, no one does not know the name of the Burning Corps, and no one does not know the story about them.
Listening to what the colleague next to her said, the reporter's sister opened her eyes wide and stared at Fang Chang standing at the door in disbelief.
Suddenly, she stood up with a bang, grabbed the notebook and hurried to the door, looked at the hero who was trying to get rid of the president's entanglement, and said excitedly.
"That, that... hello!"
Fang Chang looked at her, a face he had never seen before, and said in confusion.
"็ Hello Who are you?"
"My name is Rose, and I'm a reporter for Survivor Daily. I just joined the job yesterday!" Reaching out to shake his hand, the reporter girl continued excitedly, "May I ask, are you a soldier of the Burning Legion?"
"Yes……"
"Were you involved in the airborne operation that day?"
Looking at Rose who kept approaching, Fang Chang subconsciously dodged back.
"Um……"
Hal gasped, looked at the man in front of him in surprise, and clenched his hands on his shoulders even harder.
"Spirit of the Sand Sea, you, you survived!"
And no injuries at all? !
Seeing the surprise in his eyes, Fang Chang coughed lightly, moved his eyes slightly, and continued.
"...Ah, that day was really tragic. Fortunately, the goddess of luck was on my side. Don't look at me as a normal person, but I was actually seriously injured."
As he spoke, Fang Chang looked at the two hands on his shoulders.
Seeing his sight, Hal quickly took his hand away and said apologetically.
"I do not know you……"
"fine."
Looking at Fang Chang standing at the door, Hal said with emotion.
"At that time, I heard that only one member of the Burning Legion survived, but I was terrified... Sorry, it seems a bit inappropriate for me to say that."
Those who died were, after all, his comrades in arms.
"It's okay..." Fang Chang continued vaguely, "I don't want to talk about this now...understand."
Hal nodded, and did not continue to pursue this heavy topic.
Fang Chang breathed a sigh of relief.
It is mentioned in the "Player Handbook" that in order to avoid errors in the NPC's AI algorithm, players must not "actively discuss off-site matters with NPCs" before the official public beta begins.
Off-site matters include different worlds, including the resurrection mechanism of the shelter, etc.
Unlike other rules, the penalty criteria for this rule are very vague, but the punishment is heavy, and it involves the qualification of the beta test.
Some NPCs actually know that they can be resurrected, such as the manager and the white-haired lady in the infirmary, etc.And some non-core NPCs have heard some rumors, but most of these rumors are outrageous, and the versions are not uniform.
No veteran player who has even learned the language of the game would risk losing his beta qualifications to testify or clarify these rumors in public, and he certainly couldn't do such a stupid thing.
Honestly abide by the convention, and avoiding this topic before the public beta starts is the best choice.
But I have to talk to that boy Ye Shi later, lest I have to talk nonsense for a long time, which is too time-consuming.
"Um...can I interview you? Mr. Hero." Looking at Fang Zhang who was let go by the president, Rose said a little nervously, "If it's a topic that offends you, you don't have to answer it."
"About that day... I actually have nothing to say, everything depends on the alliance's news." Looking at the new reporter in front of him, Fang Chang suddenly came back to his senses.
He was wondering just now if Dolly had gone out for an interview, but seeing how idle this newcomer was, it didn't seem to be the case.
"Where's Dolly? Didn't she come to work?" Fang Chang looked at Hal, "I wanted to ask just now, why is there a new recruit here?"
Facing the sight of his friend, Hal had a slightly embarrassed expression, and said falteringly.
"She... just left yesterday."
Fang Chang said with a surprised face.
"gone?!"
Hal nodded slowly.
"Well... You may not know that the news of the front line came here almost that night. Although we didn't get the specific casualty list, we got the news that there was only one survivor from the Burning Corps. You don't know, she was How hopeless..."
Fang Chang hissed and gasped, and asked immediately.
"Where is she now!"
Hal said with a look of dodge.
"Early yesterday morning, she submitted her resignation letter, saying that she was going to Shuguang City to find you. I persuaded her to wait, but she still insisted on leaving. We can't live without reporters, so I hired another reporter. A... Of course! I did not approve her resignation, her letter is still here, and she can come back to work at any time."
Fang Chang was silent for a moment, then sighed.
"It's my fault."
Thinking of giving Dolly a surprise, he immediately went to Boulder City as soon as he was resurrected, but he didn't expect to pass her by...
With that said, Chang Fang tightened the backpack on his shoulders and turned around.
Hal was taken aback when he saw this, and asked subconsciously.
"Where are you going?"
"go back."
After leaving this sentence, Fang Chang had disappeared at the door of the newspaper office.
Standing next to the stunned president, Rose was writing in the notebook with bright eyes, chattering excitedly.
"Is this love?"
The hero who boarded the Heart of Iron, and the little wife who is looking forward to his return...etc.
Rose quickly looked at the president.
"Are they lovers, or have they already..."
As she spoke, she closed the cap of the pen with great interest, looking forward to it.
Hal glanced at the shorthand notebook in Rose's hand, which was full of pages. After reading two lines, he couldn't help but blushed and coughed dryly.
"...we're not that kind of newspaper."
……
The fifth day of the war.
The broken wing of the Heart of Steel floating above Ruigu City has been repaired.
Although it is not very beautiful, it does not affect its participation in the triumphant celebration.
Standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows of the bridge, Chu Guang looked at the clear sky and the gradually rising sun in the distance, and squinted his eyes slightly with a comfortable expression.
At this moment, the whole land seemed to be under his feet. Looking around, he could have a panoramic view of mountains, rivers, jungles and plains.
Is this what it's like to be on a starship?
Sooner or later he's going to get a bigger one!
Except for the quest masters who planned to stay in Sanctuary 79 and Camp Fallen Leaves to do quests, all the players who planned to go back with him to pretend to be aggressive had already boarded the ship.
Complacent in his heart, Chu Guang commanded vigorously.
"start sailing!!"
Xiaoqi's untimely reminder came from beside her ear.
"Master, there are no sails on the Iron Heart."
Chu Guang laughed.
"It's not important! I said yes."
This AI is usually quite smart, but its emotional intelligence is not very high.
Look at how smart that Phenod is, he didn't dare to fart, he only dared to say "yes" obediently, and then went away without saying a word.
Most of the captured engineers were technicians, and there were not many opportunities to actually fly the airship. They operated the equipment in a hurry, and finally managed to put away the anchor chain that had fallen on the ground, and started the engine of the airship.
Feynold heaved a sigh of relief, finally saved his head, and looked expectantly at Chu Guang who was standing by the French window.
However, it is a pity that the manager's attention is probably not on his side at the moment, and he did not mention the reduction of the ransom at all.
Finod tried to remind him.
"Dear Master Manager, our speed can reach about 20 knots, and we should be able to reach Qingquan City before noon."
Chu Guang said with a hearty smile.
"good."
Feynold waited for a long time, but without waiting for the next sentence, he closed his mouth with an aggrieved face.
The wings strengthened by steel plates fluttered slightly, and driven by fusion electric energy, the old-fashioned propellers began to rotate.
Accompanied by whistling and humming, the majestic steel fortress began to advance towards the east!
That huge body drove across the wilderness, and the sharp-edged armor was covered with the golden color of dawn and dusk. Seeing the colorful lights above their heads, many wild alien species shrank back into their caves in fright and fled in all directions.
Stand in front of the terminal on the bridge.
Chu Guang asked Xiaoqi to connect the communication system to the speakers all over the cabin, picked up the walkie-talkie on the table, cleared his throat and said loudly.
"This flight will be bound for Qingquan City——"
"Let us go home with victory and glory!"
After speaking in Renlian language, he repeated it in Mandarin, and soon he heard the thunderous cheers.
"Aww! You can go home soon!"
"Mosquito?! Didn't you go back a long time ago?"
"What's the matter! Grandpa can't parachute over and go back again?!"
"Fuck, you have something wrong!"
"Draw a lottery! Draw a lottery! I want to draw a lottery! Gouyue's spring water, if it's the god Ouhuang this time, I'll kill him!"
"???"
"Giao! Meaty, you blocked the window!"
"Fujito! Look at the duck! The dawn of the dawn blends with the endless night of the land. This game is really full of love in every frame, woo woo woo, it's so beautiful!"
"Uh-uh--"
I don't know who it was that short and dull sob, but it sounded like a sound surrounded by happiness... Presumably at this moment, there must be tears in my eyes.
Chu Guang laughed, and suddenly wanted to drink something.
However, just as he was about to open a bottle of General McLennan's treasure, Xiao Qi's nervous voice came from his ear.
"Master! There are four unknown targets approaching on the radar."
Chu Guang raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Oh?"
Who is so bold, dare to spoil his interest!
Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Guang ordered.
"Air defense artillery ready!"
The anti-aircraft gun on the top of the airship began to rotate, and the hedgehog-like gun barrels were aimed at the aircraft flying this way from [-] kilometers away.
虽然吊舱上的对地支援火炮需要人工操作，但12门100mm、144门20~30mm高炮却是安装有自动火控系统的。
Just yesterday, Xiao Qi had mastered the control of the fire control system and firmly locked the airspace in front of the airship.
Chu Guang said calmly.
"The warning range is 10 kilometers. If the other party doesn't take the initiative to connect to our communication, don't ask me, just shoot them down!"
Xiao Qi: "Got it!"
At this point in time, Chu Guang could guess where these people came from with his feet.
The red dot on the radar was approaching, and when it approached 15 kilometers, it suddenly stopped.At the same time, a communication request came from the communication channel.
Glancing at the screen, Chu Guang ordered.
"Connect."
Communication is quickly connected.
A calm voice came from the opposite side.
"This is the Boulder City militia, and I am the captain of the aviation squadron of the militia... Li Hua, can I come up and talk to you?"
This name seems to have been heard somewhere a long time ago, probably when the Pioneer first arrived.
But Chu Guang has forgotten who he heard about it from.
Maybe it was Luo Hua, maybe it was someone else.
Chu Guang thought for a while and said.
"can."
A dolphin-like aircraft flew in the distance.
It has a wide nose and a slender fuselage, and the two engines are arranged one behind the other at the bottom, spraying a coquettish light blue arc of fire, pushing the aircraft slowly through the shield of the Heart of Steel , hovering over the belly of the airship.
The hatch opened slowly.
The vertical take-off and landing aircraft ascended into the cabin along with the entrained airflow.
Standing in the landing cabin with a layout resembling a U-shaped port, Chu Guang watched the sci-fi aircraft come to a stop, and then a man wearing an exoskeleton stepped down.
Walking down with him were three bodyguards also wearing exoskeletons, standing next to the aircraft with live ammunition.
Lu Bei stood next to Chu Guang with no expression on his face, clenched the weapon in his hand, and stared at those people motionlessly.
If they tried to do anything wrong to the managers, he would not hesitate to do it.
But the man didn't look at him, and motioned his subordinates to stay beside the vertical take-off and landing plane, and walked up to Chu Guang alone.
"Let me introduce myself again, my name is—"
"Li Hua," Chu Guang stretched out his right hand, gave him a brief shake and then let go, and continued, "I am the manager of the alliance, please explain why you are here."
Li Hua was slightly taken aback.
Because Chu Guang said what he wanted to say.
Gathering his mind, he continued.
"...I am here to communicate with you on behalf of the city lord. If your airship continues to move forward, it will enter our air defense identification zone."
Chu Guang looked at him calmly.
"According to the contract, we have given up all the airspace within the North Fourth Ring Road and the Fifth Ring Road in other directions in Qingquan City. We promise to abide by the agreement."
Li Hua frowned slightly.
"Your artillery has a range of at least 20 kilometers."
Chu Guang smiled lightly.
"It's hard to say, maybe 40 kilometers, maybe 100 kilometers, who knows?"
Li Hua narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Aren't you afraid of misfiring a gun?"
Hearing the threat in that voice, Lu Bei's expression turned cold, and he took half a step forward.
Seeing the boy's movements, the three bodyguards guarding the plane suddenly became nervous, and their index fingers unconsciously placed on the weapon safety.
The atmosphere in the landing cabin was tense.
Looking at Li Hua who was full of vigilance in his eyes, Chu Guang said in a calm tone.
"When has the alliance ever been afraid?"
Feeling a bit troublesome from the man in front of him, Li Hua lowered his voice, and his tone softened a little.
"If you insist on passing, I need to ask the city lord for instructions..."
"It's okay, you ask for your instructions, and I'll go mine."
The league will negotiate with anyone.
But will not become anyone's vassal.
As the manager of the league, he has no obligation to listen to anyone's instructions.
The mask of the power armor was closed, Chu Guang turned around, and looked sideways at Lu Bei and other guards soldiers.
"see a visitor out."
"Yes!"
Taking orders neatly, Lu Bei looked at the man named Li Hua in front of him, and said in an uncompromising tone.
"Sir, please go back."
Li Hua stared at him, then at the power armor walking towards the door, and the soldiers with live ammunition beside them.
He had no doubt that if he said no, he would be thrown down by these murderous soldiers immediately.
Gritting his teeth, he turned around.
"go!"
The engine of the vertical take-off and landing plane was re-ignited, and Li Hua and his three guards who had boarded the plane left the airship, passed through the deflector shield, and headed back towards the direction of Boulder City.
There were three other planes returning with them.
Watching the distant signal on the radar, Chu Guang felt emotional.
really.
Equality is only within the range of cannons, and equal force is the premise of dialogue.
He knew very well that if he hadn't ordered Xiao Qi to point the anti-aircraft guns at them just now, these allies who were forced to squat in the same trench with him would not have approached him honestly...
The lord of Boulder City might be thankful at this moment that those "servants" he didn't care about had some foresight and established diplomatic relations with the alliance on their own initiative.
Chu Guang will keep his promise, the aircraft of the alliance will not enter the airspace of Qingquan City, the exchanges between the two sides in the economic and cultural fields will continue, and he will continue to repay the interest that should be paid... After all, credit is more precious than gold.
Whether in the long run or in the immediate future, a peaceful and stable Boulder City is more beneficial to the alliance.
He will bring a new order to the land.
rather than chaos.
Returned to the bridge.
Chu Guang, who stopped in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looked towards the east. Wherever he looked, he could already see the gradually clear outline of the city.
He seemed to have heard the cheers of the people.
With a smile on his lips, he ordered.
"Keep going!"
And Xiaoqi's energetic voice came from the side.
"okay!"
……
The majestic Heart of Steel finally arrived at the northern suburb of Qingquan City.
However, the logo of the legion has been erased, the flag has been broken, and replaced by the Union flag hanging under the bridge——
The several-meter-long flag fluttered in the wind, buzzing amid the cheers of the people.
The radar of Boulder City immediately followed the arrival of the behemoth, and watched it drive to the northern suburbs and drop in height, but there was nothing to do.
The city lord has ordered——
Let it go.
There is no way to let it go, while the anti-aircraft guns and missiles in Boulder City are waiting in full force, the 400mm main gun is aimed at this side.
God knows if the devastating sub-nuclear weapon is in the chamber.
No one doubted whether those country bumpkins in the northern suburbs dared to fight. After all, they even dared to beat up members of the legion, and they even beat up two and a half times...
Boulder City, the radar station on the giant wall.
Sitting in front of the terminal connected to the radar, the officer on duty frowned, praying silently in his heart, hoping that no accident would happen.
At least not today, when I am on duty...
At this moment, footsteps came from the door, and a soldier stood at attention and gave a military salute.
"Report sir! The Alliance embassy sent a message, informing us that there will be a fireworks show in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City at [-]:[-] p.m., so let us not be nervous."
That's beyond words.
They obviously didn't mean to ask for their consent.
The moment he heard the report, the officer's blood pressure rushed to his forehead, and he immediately got up from his chair, stepped forward and grabbed the soldier by the collar.
"Fireworks show?!"
"Don't tell me, they plan to use that airship—"
Staring nervously at the bad-tempered officer, the soldier swallowed and said tremblingly.
"I, I don't know, they didn't say that specifically..."
The entire upper echelon of Boulder City was in a mess.
At the same time, Dawn City, more than ten kilometers away, was full of lights and festoons, and it was as lively as Chinese New Year—even more lively than Chinese New Year.
Girls holding flower baskets threw the fresh flowers into the air and danced upwards together with the ribbons hanging on the eaves.
Amidst the drumbeats and music, the airship slowly lowered its altitude, shut down its engine, and lowered its anchor chain.
The boxy concrete platform was covered with a red carpet.
Guards with rifles stood in a line, maintaining order at the scene.
The elevator slowly lowered and landed on the platform covered with red carpet.
As the azure blue power armor stepped on the carpet, as tall and stalwart figures came into view, the atmosphere of the scene also reached its peak.
People cheered, shouted, and vented their excitement and excitement.
"Long live the manager!"
"Long Live the Alliance!"
"For the great alliance!"
In the cheers of the people, Chu Guang smiled and waved.
Those eyes full of admiration and reverence are the most shining treasures to him.
Wait for the din to stop for a while.
Looking around at the familiar faces, Chu Guang cleared his throat, turned on the speaker on the power armor, and said in a solemn and clear voice.
"Today, we wrote history, we defeated an enemy that was considered invincible, and we rescued our oppressed compatriots."
"This hard-won victory and honor belongs to all of us!"
"Whether it is a soldier fighting bravely on the front line, a farmer working in the field, or a sweaty worker in a factory or construction site, those who contribute in their own way..."
"This is a victory we have won together. Unity has allowed us to come from nothing to where we are today. I am not the only one who should be honored—"
"Cheers to victory!"
"For our tomorrow—"
"for us!"
Thunderous cheers and applause resounded through the square again.
Chu Guang motioned to Luca, the lord of Dawn City, who was waiting at the side, and announced the schedule of the celebration and the start of the award ceremony.
Since the greetings were made in advance, the players dressed honestly like human beings, including the most noisy tails and mosquitoes.
The honorable man's funeral is tomorrow.
All that's needed today is to drink, sing, and rejoice—
Don't let sorrow live up to that hard-won peace.
corner of the crowd.
Looking at the figure walking down from the airship, there was a faint red cloud on Shuangxue's peaceful cheeks, and her eyes were looking straight in that direction.
Shuanghe, who was standing by the side, saw that his younger sister's hands were flushed, and couldn't help laughing and teasing this simple little girl.
"Which young man do you like, do you need me to buy you a bouquet of flowers?"
The red cloud climbed to the tip of the ear in an instant.
Glaring reproachfully at her sister who was teasing her, Shuangxue hurriedly looked left and right, seeing that no one was paying attention, she whispered guiltyly.
"I... am not worthy of that lord."
Not out of inferiority or reserve.
She knew very well in her heart that that adult belonged to everyone living here, including her brothers and sisters, father, mother, grandfather...
She didn't expect those eyes that were as hot as torches to stay on her body.
It would be nice to be able to stand in the crowd and watch silently, watching him come back safe and sound.
Seeing the expression on her face, Shuanghe guessed that the little girl was still having that unrealistic dream, so he sighed softly.
"You...forget it."
Everyone has the age when they love to dream and love to touch themselves.
including herself.
This is human nature.
Some things can't be conveyed in words at all. When you get older, get in touch with more people, and become more mature, you will naturally understand.
Right in the middle of the square.
Warriors with outstanding merits walked up to the azure blue power armor, and the manager personally took over the special medals and put them on.
Among them are the residents of the refuge, as well as the aborigines on this land.
If they are players, in addition to physical medals, they will also receive electronic medals that can be displayed on the forum account page, as well as additional contribution point rewards.
After accepting the medal, they will walk towards the crowd below the platform under the gaze of reverence.
Just like when they came from the crowd when they went out.
Those who were infected by the warm atmosphere and the shining honor were not just the residents of Dawn City who were onlookers.
There are also those who came from Dawn City, Boulder City, and even a little further away from the Red River Alliance, Garbage City and other survivor settlements, as well as businessmen and travelers from east to west.
Zhou Nan, standing in the corner of the crowd, looked at the Heart of Steel bathed in the scorching sun, and said with emotion.
"This thing is really big."
In his hand was a popsicle bought from a vendor, which turned out to be Coca-Cola flavored.I have to say that the creativity of these blue coats is getting more and more surprising.
Every time he came from Jinchuan Province, he would see different novelties.
And these novel gadgets can often help him earn a lot.
Sun Shiqi, who was standing aside, narrowed his eyes, and suddenly spoke.
"The Alliance controls the west gate of the southern corridor of the River Valley Province. The commercial route leading to the Sunset Province is estimated to be more prosperous than it is now. According to their usual practice, the pre-war road should be repaired and the railway will be paved... by then Demand for steel and cement will be strong."
After a pause, he continued.
"I plan to invest in a steel factory in Qingshi County."
Zhou Nan glanced at him in surprise.
He did know that this drinking buddy had bought a house here and bought some properties, but he didn't expect that he planned to open a steel factory.
That is a heavy asset and cannot be moved easily.
If something happens, it will be for nothing for several years.
"If this legion and the alliance get involved... aren't you afraid of being affected by the flames of war?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of."
Looking at the blue power armor and the steel fortress flying in the sky, Sun Shiqi smiled confidently.
"I have been to so many places, and there is no place where survivors live, which makes me feel more secure than here."
……
"...I didn't expect me to have a share."
Returning from the crowded square to Chengbei Commercial Street, looking at the shiny medal on his chest, the corners of Fujiteng's mouth could not help but curl up for the tenth time.
In the center of the medal is a gear, just like the gate of the shelter, engraved with a commemorative 79, representing the No. 79 shelter that has just been included in the recovery area.
The electronic version of the medal is synchronized in the VM, and the description text after selection is the same as that of the Alpha version - "We set out from here".
Although I haven't been on the front line for a long time, it's quite interesting to play with everyone occasionally.
Unknowingly, he walked to the door of the elegant and unique clothing store. Just as Fujiteng saw the open door, a beautiful figure rushed out.
"Fujito!!!"
"Ugh-"
Before Fujiteng could say a word after returning home, a suffocating black shadow collided with her.
hateful--
This damn height.
Fujiteng rolled his eyes, and was about to disconnect, but fortunately, Yaya next to him saw it, and hurried up to help, holding back the teary-eyed shop assistant lady.
"Ah! Come on, let go! Fujito is going to be out of breath!"
"!!!"
Damn you know!
Finally breaking free from his clerk's arms, Fujiteng cleared his throat vigorously, stared at the man and complained.
"Do you want me to die!"
It's been a tough three days, okay?
The reprimanded girl lowered her head and kept apologizing and saying sorry.
Her name is Huahua, she has long black hair and wheat-colored skin, and she is wearing a British-style classic maid dress.
This is the work clothes that Fujito designed for her out of personal interest, because it feels very suitable for her slightly shy temperament.
As for other players complaining that the skirt is too long and unreasonable, but she doesn't intend to deal with those old monsters who don't understand art at all.
Like many residents of Dawn City, Huahua is also a refugee from other areas, and her original name was "Catlanca".
Since it would be strange to translate it into Chinese, Fujiteng gave her a nickname.
This situation is not uncommon in the wasteland.
Homeless people readily accept names bestowed on them by locals, which often means paternalistic acceptance.
Not to mention the donations from the residents of the shelter.
"Yes, I'm sorry! I'm just too excited... You, you left a note and left. I'm worried that you will be in danger on the front line..."
The tears hanging on the eyelashes made it hard to lose your temper, Fujiteng sighed, with a soft smile on his face.
"It made you worry, but it's okay, anyway, I also—"
However, before the heartwarming words could be finished, they were interrupted by Yaya who was patting his chest.
"That's right! Don't worry, Huahua, I'm here! Although Fujiteng's fighting power is a little weaker, I will protect her!"
Huahua, who didn't know the truth, hurriedly bowed.
"Thank you for bringing our boss back."
Fujito: "..."
This guy.
I really don't blush at all.
……
Throughout the afternoon, Dawn City was immersed in a festive atmosphere.
With the end of the awarding ceremony, the lively crowd gradually moved from the square to the commercial street, which also brought more prosperity than before.
Highway Town Inn.
There was a lot of chatter in the lobby, the foam of beer and the noisy spittle almost flew to the ceiling, and the surviving aborigines immersed themselves in the feeling of being alive.
Among them are soldiers from the First Corps, mercenaries who fought with the alliance, and residents of the refuge.
Lao Bai and Kuang Feng, who were revived two days ago, finally reunited with Ye Shi, who returned with the airship, in the game.
Three good brothers are sitting in front of the bar in the lobby, munching on barbecue and drinking mellow beer.
Free beer and food today.
Everyone is ready to enter vertically and exit horizontally.
"Damn it! Where's Fang Chang's dog?"
Looking at Ye Shi who couldn't stop talking, Kuangfeng hiccupped with a drunken face.
"Why do you ask such a... fish lip question?"
"That's right!" Lao Bai also said with a smile, "That guy just climbed out of the training cabin, picked up his bag and ran to Boulder City... What do you think he is doing?"
That guy probably figured it out.
I didn't even frown when I drilled into the 400mm main gun, I'm afraid I had planned to die early and go home early.
Ye Shi couldn't help but cursed.
"Damn! A guy who values sex and despises friends!"
"Hi-I can't do it."
The gust of wind, which was still slightly drunk a second ago, suddenly made a bang, and there was an intimate contact between the forehead and the bar, and it seemed to be disconnected.
"Hahaha! Hey!"
Ye Shi let out a strange laugh, and his butt slid off the stool without complacency for two seconds.Thanks to Lao Baiyanji's quick hand, the war hero didn't get under the table in shame.
"This bunch of rookies."
Putting Ye Shi down on the bar counter, Lao Bai, who picked up the wine glass again, sighed helplessly, feeling as lonely as snow.
However, the metabolism speed of the intelligence department and the perception department is there, and the character attributes determine the matter, and they can't be blamed.
Drinking to the fullest, you still have to quit smoking, Lao Na and the others. Players with a physique system have a fast metabolism. They go to the toilet after drinking two sips.
But they also have their own affairs, and they don't know where to go to have fun right now.
Seeing the joyful people on their faces, Old Hook standing behind the bar could not help but be infected by their optimism, and a smile appeared on his face.
While wiping his glass, he said.
"It's good to see you again, that news shocked me."
Ye Shi and Kuangfeng have almost finished their food and are struggling with the network connection.
Lao Bai took a drink break and sighed slightly drunk.
"Hey, it's true that many brothers died...especially those who parachuted."
Old Hook also poured himself a glass of beer, and clinked glasses with Lao Bai who was sitting in front of the bar.
"Don't talk about it, I shouldn't mention it today... I hope you have a good drink."
Old Bai laughed out loud.
"Oh! That must be!"
At this time, a figure entered the door.
She was wearing a plain long dress, and her face was full of tension and embarrassment, as if she couldn't adapt to the lively atmosphere here.
Next to her was a guard in a black uniform.
Old Hook recognized the guard as a young man from a nearby village, but he was unfamiliar with the little girl in front of him, and felt that she didn't look like a person from the nearby area.
"Comrade guard, do you want to have a drink together?" Old Hook said with a smile.
The young guard quickly shook his head.
"I'm on official duty. Let's change the guard in the middle of the night."
Old Hook looked at the little girl next to him.
"Who is this?"
"I," the girl said nervously before the guard could speak, "My name is Lisa... Is there anyone named 'Pangolin' here?"
While speaking, she hurriedly glanced around the lively lobby, but a trace of disappointment soon appeared on her face.
Apparently she didn't find the man she was looking for.
Hearing the word pangolin, Lao Bai was slightly taken aback.
Putting down the wine glass in his hand, he turned his head while sitting on the round stool, looked at the slightly thin girl, and asked.
"The pangolin you're talking about is—"
"You, do you know him?" Before he finished speaking, Lisa asked excitedly.
Lao Bai scratched his head.
"He's gone on a long journey. Is there anything urgent for him? I can help you with a message. "
This is not difficult.
Just chat privately on the forum.
Lisa was silent for a while, then spoke in a low voice.
"Will he come back?"
Looking at the expression on her face, Lao Bai probably guessed something, nodded after a moment of silence, and said seriously.
"Sure, but I don't know how long."
Lisa bit her lower lip lightly.
"I'll wait for him."
After leaving this sentence, she followed the guard and left the hotel.
Without mentioning the matter of helping with the conversation, Lao Bai turned to face the bar and started drinking.
Outsiders can't get involved in this kind of thing, and it's not appropriate.
Seeing her like that, it is obvious that she has something to say to Zhan Diyou in person, and it is better not to worry about it without understanding the style.
Old Hook glanced at the door.
"People from the recovery area?"
Lao Bai replied, "Yes."
Old Hook sighed.
"Also a miserable person..."
……
As night fell, there were only sporadic figures left in the bustling square, most of them went to Chengbei Commercial Street.
A petite figure shuttled through the crowd, searched for a long time, finally dropped his shoulders giving up, and walked towards the post station.
The businessman standing next to the two-headed ox cart yawned while counting the goods, preparing to leave early tomorrow morning and continue to Luoxia Province.
At this time, a young girl came up to him and stopped.
Glancing at the light green hair, the businessman's gaze stayed on the electronic prosthetic eye, guessing that this person should be a rich man, so he said politely.
"What's the matter, miss."
A hoarse voice came.
"... How much is it to go to Ruigu City?"
When the businessman heard that the business was coming, his heart burst into joy, and he said immediately.
"500 Dinars! Or 100 Silver Coins, 300Cr... Don't need chips, I won't go to Boulder City, see what you are willing to pay, I can do it!"
Dolly's eyes widened, and she couldn't help saying.
"Five hundred dinars?! You are extorting!"
The businessman shrugged nonchalantly.
"You can also go on your own."
Dolly gritted her teeth.
In order to leave Boulder City and ask a reliable caravan to come to Dawn City, she spent a lot of money, leaving only 50 chips in her pocket.
Probably heard the conversation between the two, a group of people dressed as mercenaries came over suddenly, and the person at the head of them spoke with a smile.
"Hey, friend, are you going to Luoxia Province? We happen to be going the same way, do you want to go together? 10 dinars are enough for each person."
The businessman sneered.
"Oh, no need."
The mercenary didn't care, and looked at Dolly, and when his eyes fell on that face, an imperceptible greed flashed in his eyes.
Keenly aware of the flicker in his eyes, Dolly's eyes quickly showed a trace of alertness, and she took a step back.
"No need...I'll ask someone else."
Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly, the man couldn't help feeling a little impatient, and was about to take a step forward when a strange voice suddenly came from behind.
"It's too expensive, it costs 10 dinars, beautiful lady, I don't charge for it—"
Hearing that someone dared to steal his business, the mercenary narrowed his eyes immediately, and was about to turn his head to see which unlucky thing it was.
However, at this moment, a gust of wind happened to blow past his collar and swept across his neck, which also chilled the burning fire in his heart.
So fast!
He didn't even see what it was before the voice brushed past him.
"—In exchange, just watch the fireworks with me."
The familiar voice floated to my ears along with the evening wind.
Looking at the longing smile, Dolly's eyes widened slightly, and she could hardly believe her own eyes.
"square……"
"I'm back, keep you waiting—"
Hot emotions poured out together with tears, and she couldn't hold it back anymore.
Before the second half of the sentence was finished, Fang Chang felt a gust of wind blowing, and there was a touch of light softness between his lips and teeth.
For a moment, he felt that his brain was down and blank.
However, it didn't drop.
The eyes dilated slightly, then slowly closed again.
He felt the hot raindrops rolling on his lips, with a hint of saltiness.
'Feel sorry. '
'Awaited. '
'make you worry. '
I have a lot to say.
But at the moment it all seems redundant.
He slowly put down his joking expression and outstretched hands, and hugged the person in his arms.
Fireworks bloom in the sky.
The fireworks all over the sky floated brilliantly in the sky, just like the rain of fire blowing into the sky like migratory locusts that night.
But he was willing to go ten more times if necessary.
Even without any rewards...
……
Not far from the square.
Tail riding on the fleshy shoulders, raised his hands in the pose of a telescope, looking excitedly at the fireworks in the sky.
"Oh! Si! Rourou! Sesame paste! Look at the airship setting off fireworks!"
Clusters of flames rushed to the sky, and the colorful patterns spread out in the air, illuminating the dark night together with her eyes, reflecting the flickering light.
Sisi looked at the time on the VM and stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"Well, it seems to be 2 minutes earlier..."
It's really obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Sesame paste hugged her shoulder from behind with a smile on his face.
"Well... just look good, don't care about these details."
now.
The anti-aircraft guns on the top of the airship pointed straight at the sky, continuously unleashing intensive firepower, but it was not aimed at shooting down any aircraft.
But to send blessings to those who look up at the sky.
Holding a wine glass in his hand, Chu Guang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the ground illuminated by the fireworks, with a faint smile on his lips.
A slightly regretful voice came from Xiao Qi's ear.
"Hey, master, you can't see anything here... why don't you go down."
That was a firework show that it had carefully prepared for a long time.
However, the bridge is in the belly of the airship, and the sky cannot be seen at all.
Chu Guang smiled faintly, looked at the land illuminated by fireworks outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and said in a very soft voice.
"Why can't you see it?"
He has already seen the most beautiful scenery.
It was those shining faces looking up at the night sky.
He raised his glass and lightly touched the floor-to-ceiling window, and there was a crisp jingle sound, blending into the sound of the wind whistling outside the window.
"Cheers to the Unbreakable Union."
Enjoy the celebration.
And that peaceful evening breeze.
Everything here is bought with your blood and sweat.
Usually 6K, today should be counted as two updates, the celebration is finished in one go, I feel like I will starve to death...
