This game is too real.

Chapter 504 How did you sneak in, you thick eyebrows and big eyes?

Inside the long shuttle-shaped aircraft.

Sitting on a soft and comfortable seat, while drinking coffee, Li Ke overlooked the joint eradication of mutants by the corporation and the alliance through the four survey drones that were dropped into the air near the battlefield.

The gunfire didn't last long.

Just as he finished drinking the cup of coffee, the last standing mutant also fell on the steps in front of the ugly altar.

The next step is to clean up the battlefield.

He put the cup on the tray, and the assistant robot on the side automatically took it back. Facing the holographic memo, he gave a neutral comment.

"so so."

"The soldiers of the alliance are a bit weird, and their physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, but after all, they are residents of the shelter, which is normal. Outdated equipment, primitive fighting style... I really don't understand how the beacon team lost to this group of people , The quality of talent in the Investigation Department has been deteriorating year after year."

"As for the business..."

Li Ke chuckled, and the sarcasm in his eyes became more obvious.

"It's a waste of AI cores in the hands of these guys... Those bionic soldiers' sense of existence is not as good as a few old-era power armors, and they really go back as they live."

Needless to say, the Legion.

Those outdated equipment rely on a little heritage to support their appearance.

Based on the performance of all parties, it is natural that the academies that have improved on the basis of the prosperous era are stronger.

Of course, it is undeniable that the alliance's performance has indeed exceeded his initial expectations... If a full-scale war really breaks out, with their fighting will, maybe they can last for a few more months.

Satisfied, Li Ke reached out and tapped on the holographic screen, and while closing the memo, he recalled the previously released exploration drone.

At this time, a gentle electronic sound floated from the back of his seat.

"Sir, I have your call."

"Phone? Here?"

"Yes, the Wandering Swamp has launched a patrol communication station."

Li Ke's expression became serious as soon as he heard the patrol communication station, and he sat up straight from his chair.

"Pass it to me."

"Ok."

The communication signal was quickly transferred from the research ship's server to his personal terminal.

Li Ke reached out and tapped on the holographic window, and the light blue light and shadow quickly drew a scribbled bust in front of him.

Here is a big desert.

The signal situation is even worse than that of Luoxia Province.

Under such circumstances, the only people who insist on using video communication to communicate are the old stubborn people in the Research Department who don't know how to adapt.

"...I am Yang Kai from the Research Department, a B-level researcher. My identification band is in the communication code. Please verify it yourself later."

As soon as the communication was connected, the other party didn't exchange pleasantries, and directly reported his family name straight to the point.

Li Ke cleared his throat and said.

"Department of Foreign Affairs Li Ke, Class B, what's the matter?"

The hologram flickered for a moment.

"Transfer the project of Vault 0 to me."

Hearing this sentence, Li Ke immediately jumped up like a squirrel whose tail was stepped on.

"Why?"

The calm tone on the other side of the communication channel was still there.

"This is Dr. Conclusion's order, and you Foreign Affairs Department will do your job honestly."

When he heard that it was Dr. Conclusion's order, Li Ke immediately muttered indignantly like a deflated ball.

"Dr. Conclusion... that lord really has time."

The other end of the communication channel did not make any comments on this sentence, but gave a simple answer in a tone that did not fluctuate.

"thanks for your cooperation."

After finishing speaking, the flickering shadow disappeared from directly above the holographic device...

……

The cleaning of the battlefield by the enterprise and the alliance ground forces has ended, and the discovery in the "Blackstone" mutant tribe is surprising.

The words of Yun Song's drone operator really came true.

These gray-black-skinned mutants really dug deep burrows, using the burrows to protect immature cubs, plant some edible fungi, and raise mutant worms that produce fat and protein.

One of the most surprising is a fluorescent mushroom growing on radioactive waste, which seems to be able to accelerate the decay of iodine and cesium isotopes through special biochemical processes, and convert part of the energy into light.

It is currently impossible to prove whether this species uses fusion or fission energy to provide the energy needed for life activities.

But just the property of accelerating the decay of radioactive substances is surprising enough.

Yun Song and Lao Bai reported their findings in the mutant tribe to their respective superiors.

After the high-level communication between the enterprise and the alliance, the two parties decided to share these interesting research materials.

The Heart of Steel slowly passed directly above the Blackstone Tribe, and dropped its anchor chain in an open space about one kilometer away.

The pod was lowered shortly thereafter.

Five long construction vehicles drove to the open space and lined up in three rows. The wheels were retracted upwards, and the chassis was lowered to complete the deployment.

Nearly a hundred aircrew wearing miner exoskeletons walked back and forth between the material pile and the base of the camp, sending the metal scraps that the players removed from the mutant tribe into the feeding port of the engineering vehicle, and quickly processed them into Boards for building a camp.

The thickness of these standardized plates made of aluminum and iron alloys is about one inch. The material is loose and porous, and the texture is light, but the strength is not low at all. Shooting bunkers and outer walls of the base.

With the end of the battle, the players also joined in the construction of the camp.

In less than three hours, a camp covering an area of ​​20 acres and nearly the size of two football fields began to take shape.

The pod is lowered again.

The logistics chief of the Heart of Steel walked forward quickly, stood still in front of Chu Guang, stood at attention with a red face, and gave a military salute.

"Report! Dear Master Manager, according to your instructions, we have completed the construction of the outer wall of the camp, and the next step is the construction of the barracks, which is expected to be completed within 24 hours!"

"Good job," Chu Guang nodded approvingly, looked at the young man and continued, "Go and do your work, don't worry about me."

"Yes!" The logistics officer pressed his right fist to his chest, and then strode towards the construction site with great strides.

Watching the back of the young man leaving, Wu Changnian glanced at the busy construction site around him, smiled and said.

"How is it? Is the technology of Ideal City okay?"

Chu Guang said with deep emotion.

"It's pretty good, but it's a bit expensive. It would be great if I could get a discount."

Wu Changnian gave a dry cough.

"This...you have to talk to the representative of the Silver Wing Group. The board of directors cannot interfere with the operation of the production department, and I can't make decisions about the order."

Although regretful, Chu Guang still nodded.

"understand."

This modular infrastructure system called "Camp Workshop" consists of five powerful engineering vehicles. It is similar to the modular production workshops on the Pioneer, and is designed for the special environment on the wasteland. Designed production tools.

It is like a black box in another sense. It can ingest metal scraps without hesitation, digest the part that can be digested, and DIY it into the shape that users need.

With the cruising capability of the Heart of Steel, Chu Guang could theoretically take pictures of the base of operations anywhere he could fly.

At that time, he also took a fancy to this point, so he decisively introduced this system from the Silver Wing Group.

Although the cost of such a system is as high as 600 million Cr, Chu Guang still reluctantly placed the order.

As a modular production tool, its function is obviously not just to produce the boards needed for camping.

These five engineering vehicles can also process the input materials into basic weapons including rifles and armor such as bulletproof armor according to the input drawings.

Although the production efficiency is not high, the energy and materials consumed and the hidden loss cost are not a small amount, but as a set of "camping equipment", it is still very easy to use.

In the past, the Heart of Iron solved the supply problem encountered during the expedition by keeping slaves in captivity and carrying a large number of processing tools and machine tools.

A production team of more than 500 people can be easily replaced with five engineering vehicles, saving a lot of valuable space for the airship.

It's a pity that the alliance only has one "aircraft carrier".

Otherwise, Chu Guang really planned to buy a few more sets from Ideal City.

Coincidentally, at this time, the Willant who got off from the Judgment also walked towards this side.

Chu Guang suddenly noticed the way McLenne looked at the engineering vehicles.

Including the captain named Adria standing next to him, the faces of both of them were full of envy without exception.

The Legion's industrial capabilities are not weak, and the manufacture of heavy equipment is quite good, but the manufacture of precision equipment is very reluctant.

Even if such a thing exists, it is impossible to assign it to the airship.

"Have you found the entrance to Vault 0?" Adria said with a smile as he walked to the representatives of the alliance and the enterprise.

Wu Changnian said concisely.

"We have to find the crew of the Pioneer first. Only they know the entrance to the refuge. If you are in a hurry, you can go back first."

Of course it was impossible for Adria to leave, and she continued to ask with a smile.

"Didn't you run back to an employee? He doesn't know the entrance to Vault 0?"

"Unfortunately, you guessed it right, he was chased away by a group of shameless robbers before he found the entrance to the shelter."

Hearing Wu Changnian's unfriendly tone, Adria was unmoved, and McClenn also had no expression on his face.

The order was given by Griffin.

He was also annoyed that the guy had pushed himself away.

If he hadn't run after the employees of that company, he wouldn't have fallen into the hands of a group of wastelanders, let alone lost his airship.

"I'm sorry about the Pioneer incident. It was Griffin's presumptuous claim. We will strictly restrain our own people so that similar things will never happen again," Adria said with hypocritical concern, " By the way, I almost forgot to ask, has the Pioneer been found? Are the crew on board okay?"

Wu Changnian stared at him and said.

"Our people have already searched for them based on the coordinates you provided. They'd better be alive."

Adria shrugged.

"I also sincerely hope they are safe."

The Pioneer was previously under the control of the Legion.

But the crew, including Lujan, were not captured by the Legion, but were transferred outside before the Legion took control of the Pioneer.

Except for Luo Hua who was sent to seek help from the alliance, the rest of the employees hid under the leadership of Lu Yang and were not found by the Weilante people.

As the day of war was approaching, Griffin didn't have much time to waste in the desert, so the task of searching for those people was subcontracted to the hands of the Blackstone tribe.

According to the description of the mutant captives, those big-nosed humans offered a price of "one employee of an enterprise in exchange for ten human women".

But from the current point of view, those mutants obviously didn't find the missing corporate employees, otherwise they would have taken them to the Willant people to receive the reward.

With regard to the issue of the Pioneer, the legion all counted on Griffin's head.

As for McLenne, he didn't know much. He had already explained what he could explain during the time he was captured.

The Legion didn't care about the life and death of the crew on the Pioneer, they were only interested in the No. 0 shelter discovered by the Pioneer.

The same goes for colleges.

Not taking Captain Adria's hypocritical politeness seriously, Wu Changnian turned and walked to the company's residence.

McLenne stared at Chu Guang fiercely, but just stared fiercely, without saying anything, and walked away with Adria.

At this time, a long shuttle-shaped aircraft converged the arc light sprayed from the bottom, and slowly landed in the center of the camp.

Its name is Comet 300, and it is a scientific research ship independently produced by the Academy based on the blueprints left over from the Prosperous Era. Since it is mounted on an ecological cycle device and an anti-gravity device, theoretically this thing can not only drive to any corner of the planet, but even Can fly to outer space.

However, the environment in outer space is much worse than that on the ground, and unless there are special tasks to be performed, they generally will not go there.

It happened that after cleaning the battlefield, Lao Bai took a look at the sci-fi scientific research ship, and suddenly found that it was a little different from the one that landed in Falcon City.

Just then, a man and a woman came out from the open hatch.

Lao Bai was surprised to find that he knew one of them.

The man obviously noticed him too, and walked over here on his own initiative.

"meet again."

Walking in front of Lao Bai, Zheng Hao took a look at the power armor on his body, with a hint of surprise on his face, "Dragoons?"

"It's quite knowledgeable."

Zheng Hao pouted.

"I've seen a lot of the wreckage of this thing, and the nuclear bomb crater next to the Great Rift Valley is everywhere."

"Really? I have to go and have a look some other day," Lao Bai smiled faintly, and continued, "What about you? Why are you here?"

"Thanks to you, relying on that sample, my team and I have been transferred from the Investigation Department to the Research Department, and now we are working for the B-level researcher Professor Yang Kai. He is currently in charge of the investigation of No. In that research ship."

When he said this, Zheng Hao's expression was a bit complicated.

The Beacon team suffered heavy losses in that battle, and many of his brothers died.

And because it was an unrecognized battle, the families of his brothers who died didn't even get the full amount of pensions. He himself used part of the G points to buy some living supplies for their families.

After understanding the expression on his face, Lao Bai didn't say anything, but just skipped the unpleasant part of the topic.

"That refuge... will you go there then? Or that B-level researcher?"

To Lao Bai's surprise, the man in front of him shook his head.

"neither."

As he spoke, Zheng Hao looked at the girl next to him with a reserved expression and long black hair.

"Let me introduce, Jiang Xuezhou, a D-level researcher... She was my team member before, but now she is at the same level as me. Yang Kai is her mentor. Thanks to her relationship, we were able to successfully sell that sample at that time."

Jiang Xuezhou stared at Lao Bai vigilantly, and nodded cautiously.

"Hello."

She had seen this man in the drone footage, and many of them died at the hands of him and his team members...including her friend Chen Yutong.

Although she knew in her heart that the two sides were just fighting for their respective positions, and there was no simple right or wrong in it, she still couldn't believe the person in front of her.

Zheng Hao looked at Lao Bai.

"The person sent by the alliance should be you, help me take care of her after I go down."

Lao Bai made a helpless expression.

"Although I really want to help you, but this operation is without me."

"Not you?" Zheng Hao looked at him in surprise.

Before getting off the scientific research ship, he heard that the alliance would send a powerful awakener to follow them into the refuge.

At that time, he guessed that the person might be the old Bai he had seen.

However, Lao Bai actually told him that it was not him.

Is there a stronger awakener in the alliance?

"Well, it's the other one..." Looking at the surprised Zheng Hao, Lao Bai smiled and said, "But don't worry, I will tell my good brother—"

"No need," Jiang Xuezhou interrupted him, looked at him vigilantly and said, "I will take care of myself, so... don't bother you."

Saying that, she nodded politely, turned and left here

Looking at the back of his colleague leaving, Zheng Hao expressed a slightly embarrassed expression, coughed lightly and said.

"Sorry, that day... she lost a team member with whom she had a good relationship."

Old Bai shrugged.

"It's okay, I can understand, but don't expect me to apologize to you, we have exercised maximum restraint, and you fired first."

Zheng Hao nodded silently.

"I know...I didn't say it was your fault, but I... hey."

In the middle of speaking, he suddenly didn't know how to continue speaking. After thinking about his words for a long time, he finally just sighed.

This damn secrecy system...

Some words he can only hold back in his heart.

Understanding his difficulty, Lao Bai didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, then turned and walked away.

……

It just so happens that Lao Bai is not the only one who meets acquaintances.

And the brothers of the Stormtroopers.

Seeing the battlefield guy sneaking over, I pointed at the guy's nose the most, and cried out excitedly.

"Fuck! Pangolin?!"

The shout startled the Zhandi guy, he glanced left and right reflexively, and suddenly realized that I shouted most in Mandarin, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"MMPD, can you stop calling me a vest outside!" Staring at the guy who almost ruined his mission, the battlefield guy said cursingly.

With an indifferent expression on my darkest face, I said with a hippie smile.

"Don't worry, my brother won't betray you... By the way, why did you sneak over here with thick eyebrows and big eyes?"

The warband sighed.

"Hey, it's a long story, I was also sent here in a daze."

Commander Quanshui looked at him strangely, and vaguely guessed something, but he was still not sure, so he asked tentatively.

"Among the two representatives sent by the legion to investigate Vault 0... you should be there?"

The warrior smiled shyly.

"You guessed it."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

I am the darkest: "Damn!"

Gravecatcher: "6666!"

Kakarot couldn't help but said: "Oh my god... I have nothing to say if you are an undercover agent."

Originally, the enterprise, the legion, and the alliance each sent two representatives, and the academy sent one. Who would have thought that the legion would pick this guy in, and the alliance representatives would directly become three.

The Zhandi guy smiled embarrassedly.

"Life is full of accidents, and I didn't expect those big noses to send me here... By the way, do you have the thing in the archive? Hurry up and save it for me, I'm afraid I will die in it soon."

Commander Springs coughed.

"It's on the airship."

The warlord froze for a moment.

"Damn! Do you still have to go on the airship?"

Quan Shui gave the guy a strange look.

"Otherwise? How troublesome it is to put down the dormant cabin every time you go... And I suggest that you better come in the middle of the night, because the first half of the night is probably not easy to grab."

The archive is not saved after lying down and punching a card. It takes several hours to read the records.

Generally, everyone will save files in batches. When the people in the front have finished saving, the people in the back want to save, so the previous person is dragged out of the training cabin.

So if you choose to go offline at the public save point, sometimes you will find yourself lying on the floor when you wake up online.

I said with the darkest hippie smile.

"Why don't you sneak out at night? Brothers meet you."

Seeing that unreliable guy, Zhandi hesitated for a long time, finally gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

"Row!"

……

later.

The Warfield guy carefully went to the toilet, locked the door, then came to escape the shell with a golden cicada, pulled out the WC from the window, left the alliance's station in the camp assigned to the legion representative, and secretly went to the alliance's airship.

I, who had been waiting there early to pick him up, was Hei Hei and the grave hunter, and put a sack on him, and then carried him into the pod, and got him onto the airship without anyone noticing.

Although the Zhandi guy thinks that sack is completely redundant, but he really can't resist when he wants something from others, so I let my blackest grandson do it.

To collect data in the dormant cabin, you need to lie in it for several hours.

Fortunately, he usually squats in the pit for one or two hours at a time, and no one will suspect that he squats for an extra hour or two.

At the same time, the captain's room of the Iron Heart.

Chu Guang, who had already returned to the airship, was staring at the rags spread out on the desk, frowning unconsciously.

"The symbol of the Torch Church?"

Standing opposite the desk, Lao Bai nodded with a serious expression.

"I found this symbol on the mutant priest...and there are similar symbols on that altar."

Leaning back on the chair, Chu Guang closed his eyes and thought for a while.

"The Coast of Death is to the south of Jinchuan Province, at least five or six thousand kilometers away... It's too far away."

If you follow a straight line, you may pass through the natural dangers of the Zhabal Mountains. It is hard to imagine that the Church of the Torch can reach here.

Lao Bai said with a sudden movement in his heart.

"Is there a possibility... It's not that the mutants are believers of the Church of the Torch, but that the mutants and the Church of the Torch are all believers of a larger organization."

Chu Guang commented concisely.

"That sounds even more outrageous."

Lao Bai said with a wry smile.

"Too……"

If this organization is really so huge and can simultaneously affect the mutants on the coast of death in the south of the Central Continent and the great desert in the middle, it is impossible for them not to hear any rumors.

Looking at the symbols on the rag, Chu Guang couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

He is more inclined to another possibility...

In other words, these mutants and the followers of the Church of the Torch were both separately and simultaneously affected by a special existence while they were isolated from each other.

It can be a huge organization as Lao Bai said, or it can be a technological creation with magical power.

Or, it may just be an abstract concept.

But whatever it was, something with demagogic power was fraught with danger.

Thinking of the past of Vault 117 and the rumors about Wang Yi, the self-proclaimed holy son, Chu Guang closed his eyes and meditated for a long time.

The last time he felt such a faint feeling of uneasiness was when he learned that the Willanters had deployed a nuclear bomb in Luoxia Province.

"The source of this symbol... must be investigated in depth."

Lao Bai said in agreement.

"I think so too... I suggest keeping an outpost in the Great Desert. Even if these noteworthy clues are put aside, there are still many things worthy of our recovery."

Chu Guang nodded, and flicked his index finger in the air to unfold the holographic map.

"Not only the Great Desert, but the investigation in the south will also be carried out at the same time... After this incident is over, I will give you a task."

Hearing that the hidden mission was triggered, Lao Bai was overjoyed and said immediately.

"Please order!"

Chu Guang continued.

"There is a coordinate in the south, there is the nuclear fuel we need, I need you to take a few people there to recycle."

"Some shelter residents are opening up wasteland there, you can ask for their help."

Lao Bai clasped his fists with his hands, his eyes sparkling.

"Yes!"

……

The night was dark.

On the ruins not far from the camp, in a leaky roof factory building covering an area of ​​thousands of acres, a huge land fortress was anchored.

Its steel shell is full of inwardly sunken twists, the crawler tracks under the chassis are broken inch by inch, the mechanical arm and the production workshop and other structures have been damaged, and the condition can be described as miserable.

Judging from the collapse of the wall next to it and the bullet holes on the wall, it should have broken through the wall of the factory building and rushed in, where a fierce exchange of fire broke out with the pursuers.

A few beams of light shone on the dusty wreckage, and the bionic soldiers who stepped forward carefully inspected the damage and gaps on the land fortress.

Standing not far away watching, Su Ming couldn't help cursing in a low voice.

"Damn...these big noses!"

Apparently the Willante had persecuted it into this ghostly form.

Thinking of the appearance of those Weilante officers who had nothing to do with him, he wished he could go back to the camp and pick up those big noses and punch them in the face one by one.

Gu Wei, who was standing aside, said with emotion.

"Do you still remember how it looked when it first set off from Ideal City?"

Another commando sighed.

"...I don't recognize it at all."

"Hope the people in there are okay."

Yun Song glanced at the Geiger counter and found that the amount of radioactive dust here exceeded the standard, so he waved his hand to signal everyone to close the helmets and open the internal circulation system.

There are a lot of nuclear fuel stored on the Pioneer, as well as tactical nuclear warheads taken out of Ideal City. Looking at the crater nearby, it should be made by those crew members.

After checking the status of the Pioneer, an android soldier walked back to Yun Song.

Before the bionic man could speak, Yun Song asked immediately.

"Are there any living people inside?"

Although this possibility is very small, he still asked this question.

However, to his surprise, the bionic man nodded.

"There are signs of life activity in the escape cabin, but they are very weak... probably only one or two people."

Yun Song was overjoyed when he heard the words, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

"Quick! Get him out!"
