This Game Is Too Realistic

The Great Desert is located in the west of Luoxia Province.

Although it is named after the desert, it is actually not as desolate as most wastelanders imagine.

The concrete buildings that have collapsed or been flooded by yellow sand, as well as the rusty warehouses and factories, all show the past prosperity of this place. Even though the billowing yellow sand has been blowing for two centuries, it still hasn't completely submerged this man-made miracle spanning thousands of kilometers.

Not only that, because the underground ocean current transmission pipelines meet here, a large amount of desalinated seawater seeps into the underground rock formation due to the rupture of the pipeline, forming a rich groundwater reservoir.

Therefore, even though it is full of meteorological disasters such as earthquakes, sandstorms, radioactive dust, and thunderstorms, the species that are active in this area are more prosperous than the neighboring Luoxia Province.

The favor left to Luoxia Province in that era is only a few oases, but the situation here is completely opposite.

The remaining favors are even so abundant that they have already overflowed...

Damn... what the hell is that?

A giant snake as thick as an oil barrel slowly swam between the two collapsed tall buildings, its cracked skin was like dry yellow earth, lurking in the soft quicksand like a fallen giant tree.

Seeing the tens of meters long snake wriggling forward in the quicksand, the soldier wearing the exoskeleton stepped back two steps numbly.

His name is Su Ming, and his position is a precision shooter. The 26 printed on the breastplate and arms is the number of him and his brothers, and it is also the logo of Enterprise 26 Commando.

As one of the few ground troops of the company that participated in the Battle of Luoxia Province, they mainly performed forward, guerrilla, and sabotage tasks behind enemy lines in the war.

Although most Ideal City residents credit their allies for victory in the war, they actually participated in quite a few battles.

It's just that it doesn't sound so good in a press release.

Walking to Su Ming's side, Yun Song stared at the giant snake twice. The box in the tactical eyepiece locked it in the center, and the progress bar walked around the edge of the box.

There's no record of it in the database... you found it first, why don't you give it a name?

Su Ming touched the back of his head.

Sandworm?

Before Yun Song could speak, Gu Wei, who was wearing power armor beside him, laughed and joked.

It's too earthy, and there is already a desert next door, which is completely different from this guy.

Then... earth dragon? Big earthworm? Digger?

Just dig worms...don't waste time.

Interrupting the conversation between the two, Yun Song stretched out his index finger and tapped twice in the air, operated the holographic window to archive the image data, and then switched to the tactical map.

The target is about one kilometer ahead...everyone should be vigilant, and we will be able to pick up our employees and go home soon.

Oh! Su Ming shouted weakly.

They've been on duty for almost a full year.

It spanned thousands of kilometers of wasteland, and was even involved in the war in the Luoxia province halfway through... He couldn't help thinking that he could make a movie after going back with his experiences along the way.

Under Yun Song's order, the 26th Assault Squad continued its operations.

Led by bionic soldiers and drones, the group marched along the broken concrete road for a while, carefully avoiding large areas of quicksand and several areas with abnormal life signals.

At this time, there was new news from the communication soldier, and Yun Song raised his right fist to signal the team to stop at the gate of an abandoned factory.

So far, they were only the last 300 meters away from the mutant tribe, and on the abandoned buildings in the distance, even camouflaged bunkers piled up with garbage, and mutant sentries standing guard with binoculars could be seen.

...The mission status update is good news. The alliance decided to send an airship to support our operation before withdrawing troops.

Hearing this sentence, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

They did not bring everyone with them this time, and more than 30 logistics personnel and more than 20 soldiers stayed at the camp site.

Relying on ten power armors, thirty sets of exoskeletons, and less than thirty bionic soldiers, without heavy fire support, it is still difficult to kill the mutant tribes that are ten times their size.

Even if they can win, they will suffer a lot of casualties.

The mutants in the great desert don't just use iron-pipe rifles. These beasts have mastered semi-automatic or even fully automatic weapons through transactions with the Legion and the Falcon Kingdom.

Not to mention that they hold scraps and junk from the pre-war era, DIY weapons.

Those things seem unreliable, but if you underestimate them, you will suffer a lot.

For example, a mutant they had seen before held a melta ray gun made of the head and spine of the Pioneer robot, and even killed one of their power armor by sneak attacking.

These unexpected attack methods are hard to guard against.

Hearing that the alliance's support is on the way, Su Ming said excitedly.

That 400mm heavy gun?

Yun Song nodded.

Yes... including ground troops, and those unreliable gliders, but we need to make sure that there are no people in the camp before we can decide whether to use an ax or a scalpel.

As he spoke, he looked at the drone operator standing behind the line.

I'll leave the investigation to you.

receive.

A man with a steady expression made a gesture, knocked his fist on his shoulder, and the drone backpack on his back bounced open the hatch.

A four-rotor drone flew out like a crossbow arrow, and rushed into the sky with a whistling sound.

The screen is connected to the tactical eyepiece of the helmet.

Although the signal is poor, it can barely be used.

Under the control of the drone operator, the quadcopter drone carefully bypassed the sightlines of the mutant sentinels, moved to the side of the building, passed through rows of twisted steel and concrete debris, and flew to the mutant horde. above.

The entire tribe is housed in an abandoned factory building.

The shacks made of rubbish and the half-collapsed factory buildings merged into one, and large stretches of iron sheds and animal skins to dry blocked the twisted alleys.

However, through the gaps in the covering, one could still see coal-like bodies, with bloodthirsty fangs and knotted muscles.

They're like orcs from fantasy movies.

What is chilling is that these furry and blood-drinking animals actually imitated human beings and developed cities, and even clarified the social division of labor...

There are residential areas that stink of feces, arenas where violence is vented and mutants are entertained, blacksmiths and tool workshops filled with the sound of blacksmithing, plantations where unknown fruits are planted, and detainees. Pastures for all kinds of livestock...

Looking down at the sprawling tribe through the drone's lens, the drone operator's scalp tingles.

Especially when he found the same kind imprisoned in the cage in that ranch like a garbage dump, anger rushed to his head.

Oh shit……

What's the matter? Hearing his low curse, Yun Song cast him a questioning look.

The drone operator didn't speak, just stretched out his index finger and swiped in the air, transferring what he saw to his teammates who were looking at him.

The drone's lens zooms in.

All I saw was a group of battered and naked bodies locked in iron crates made of steel bars.

People with puffy bellies are mostly lucky, mutants usually don't eat them, and those who don't produce children for them are miserable. Many of them were tortured. Not only were their arms and legs removed, but their wounds were rotten and maggot-filled.

Mutants themselves have extremely strong resilience, and they don't need bandages or anti-inflammatory drugs at all, and naturally they won't bandage the animals that haven't finished eating.

Many people sat on the ground with their eyes blank, and they didn't even have the strength to drive away the mosquitoes and flies around them.

On the chopping board not far away, a mutant priest with bare arms was delivering babies to humans handcuffed to the chopping board in a primitive and rude way.

They don't care if those people die in the process.

Followers of Chaos are never picky eaters, and their stomachs are as strong as their muscles and bones.

Those slaves raised as livestock may come from the Falcon Kingdom, honey badgers or lions, or even sent from farther away by slave traders... Few people pay attention to those who disappeared during the war Where did the people end up going.

Even though he had seen many hellish scenes during the march in the wasteland, Su Ming's face still turned slightly pale.

This is much crueler than those predators who have learned everything.

The soldier not far from him couldn't help retching.

These bastards! Gu Wei clenched the heavy machine gun in his hand, wishing he could rush in and shoot them all.

They were originally animals, when did you feel that they were not.

Yun Song operated on the holographic window expressionlessly, selected some areas of the camp, and marked the places where there might be living people.

After doing all this, he signaled the signaler to set up a signal booster and roughly aimed in the direction of the Heart of Steel.

This is the 26th commando. We have confirmed the location of the 'Blackstone' mutant tribe. The number of mutants is around 2,000, which is the same as in the information.

Survivors found in the tribe... We can't get any closer, not sure if there are any of us in there, I hope not.

After a burst of electric white noise.

The answering voice came from the other end of the communication channel.

Received... We still have half an hour to arrive. If it is convenient, please help us lead them to an open area.

Yun Song set his sights on the two abandoned buildings not far away - the previous digger was passing through there.

That's a nice spot.

Either as a shelling point.

Or as a grave for burying those beasts.

Got it, leave it to us.

After finishing the communication, he waved to the soldiers behind him.

Get ready to work.

...

At the same time, on the edge of the desert tens of kilometers away, a huge steel airship is slowly pushing away from the edge of the rolling yellow sand, heading towards the endless ruins.

If we say that when he first entered the Luoxia Province, Chu Guang was once shocked by the endless yellow sand and rolling clouds.

Then the shock in his heart at this moment can be said to be no less than that at that time.

Even worse than that!

Unbelievable...was this a city before? Standing on the bridge, Chu Guang looked down at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, his face full of surprise.

The 100-meter-wide road stretches straight forward, blending with the tall buildings on the horizon. Even if you stand on an airship at a height of 1,000 meters, you can't see the end at a glance.

The land is divided into countless grids by staggered highways and track wreckage, half of which are densely packed buildings, and the other half are endless deserts.

Perhaps it will take hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, before this land will completely change into the shape of Luoxia Province...

Standing beside Chu Guang, Wu Changnian narrowed his eyes slightly, his face was not only shocked, but also with a hint of melancholy.

...I heard that in the era of prosperity, that is, two centuries ago, the Great Desert was not called the Great Desert, but the four industrial divisions of the People's Federation.

Chu Guang glanced at him and asked puzzledly.

Four industrial divisions?

Yes.

Wu Changnian nodded, looking out the window as if caught in the memory of a certain video material, after a pause, he slowly continued.

...The Western Industrial Zone is the beginning of all industrial chains. It is responsible for the production of the most basic raw materials, as well as the rough processing of raw materials transported by the logistics network and space elevators, such as synthetic chemicals, catalysts, alloys, etc.

The northern industrial area is a logistics and warehousing center, responsible for storing logistics surplus, distribution of finished products, and transfer of intermediate products and waste materials. There is a transportation network with the highest density in the prosperous era, whether it is trackless transportation or rail transportation... Theory As long as you choose the right means of transportation, you can go there directly from any corner of the planet, and it also has the highest density of office buildings.”

The Eastern Industrial Zone is the end of the industrial chain. The huge, efficient and dense industrial chain is responsible for processing or assembling raw materials and intermediate products into final products.

As for the southern industrial zone, it is mainly an energy hub. It is like a large charging plug, and its function is to receive the energy produced by the power generation facilities in outer space.

With the addition of the space elevator, the four industrial zones surrounding the space elevator form a complete closed loop of the industrial chain.

Chu Guang was surprised.

Build an industrial center in the middle of the continent?

To him from another world, this sounds counterintuitive.

After all, in his hometown, most of the industrial areas are concentrated in the east, especially in the coastal areas, and there are few inland industrial centers in the west, and the distribution is relatively sparse.

Here, however, it seems to be something else entirely.

Wu Changnian nodded and continued.

Yes, here is a stable climate, far away from the junction of continental plates, there are no active earthquakes and volcanic activities, and unlike the sea or the coast, there is a typhoon from time to time... There is no place more suitable for building a space elevator base site than here gone.

As he spoke, his tone could not help but carry a touch of emotion.

At first it was just an elevator, and then the dense transportation network began to extend to the low-Earth orbit, gradually turning into a tower, a mountain, and even an even bigger mountain. Endless and abundant resources flowed from space to the surface, and the abundance was amazing... ...The prosperity of that era is hard to imagine in this era, and even Ideal City has only restored the tip of the iceberg.”

Wu Changnian had also heard that in the initial plan, the People's Federation planned to use the space elevator as the center to radiate the urban agglomeration to every corner of the Central Continent within two centuries. Use the energy and alloys obtained from space mining to build the entire planet into a cosmopolitan city.

That blueprint is the collection of dreams of all people in the entire era of prosperity. Personal ideals, ambitions and imaginations will extend infinitely on this infinitely prosperous planet, and spread to the farther galaxy starting from it.

But it is a pity that a war that lasted only three years made all dreams come to naught.

While Wu Changnian was thinking about the past, Chu Guang who was standing beside him hadn't recovered from the huge blueprint.

Although things that can be seen with the naked eye are not bragging, but he still can't figure out how this huge industrial center is placed in the middle of the mainland.

...What about industrial water? Where does the water come from?

Wu Changnian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his focus to be here, and then he said with a smile.

Isn't there an underground ocean current pipeline? What do you think was done before the Great Rift Valley?

Chu Guang suddenly came back to his senses.

He seems to have heard vaguely before that the existence of the Great Rift Valley is to store the surplus energy generated by the controllable fusion power station, and the specific way to realize it is to electrolyze seawater.

As for the surplus chlorine, sodium, and various metal elements precipitated in seawater and other by-products, they will be packaged and sent to industrial areas for processing.

It turns out that the underground ocean current pipeline was not only built for the Great Rift Valley, but also for the purpose of transporting industrial water to the center of the continent!

The mighty power of that era was even more terrifying than he imagined...

While Chu Guang was shocked, he couldn't help feeling his scalp tingle.

Especially when I think of the pretense I pretended back then, and the cakes I drew for Yin Fang, Heya, Vanus and other survivors...

How the hell can we return to the greatness of the era of prosperity?

Mobilizing seven billion players is not enough!

What's more, it is obvious that the morphological field cannot accommodate so many people... Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for the first-generation managers to set up many rules and send activation codes to him in a planned way.

Not knowing what Chu Guang was thinking at the moment, Wu Changnian smiled and continued.

Of course, the solid hydrogen underground in the Great Rift Valley is a strategic reserve, and it is not usually used. The supply of industrial water is mainly in the southern industrial area. It is not only an energy hub, but also responsible for seawater desalination and sewage recycling... too I don’t know professionally, I just took a rough look from the database. If you want to understand how the whole system works, you have to ask an expert in this field.”

In short, the four major industrial zones account for more than 60% of the People's Federation's total output value, and the peak is said to have reached 70%,

So please remember, no one knows what will be in Vault 0, we'd better be careful and arrange candidates carefully.

Hearing the cautious tone, Chu Guang also nodded with a serious expression.

I will arrange for a shelter resident with outstanding perception.

Wu Changnian nodded approvingly.

So best.

He had heard about the average number of awakened people in Vault 404.

Although he believes in AI and machines more than awakening this unstable biological factor, in previous wars, the alliance has proved that humans are not defeated by machines in certain situations, and can even create miracles that machines cannot achieve. It's not a bad thing to bring two more reliable masters.

And this is why he was able to persuade the company and the legion to help the alliance that has no experience in relic excavation win two places.

There is only one access card.

According to the description of the employee named Luo Hua, the elevator they found that can lead to shelter 0 is not very big, and the number of people who can go down at a time is limited...

Just then, the door of the bridge opened.

Vanus walked in from the outside, gave a military salute, and said cleanly.

The 26th commando of the enterprise has received news that they have confirmed the coordinates of the 'Blackstone' mutant tribe, but they are not sure whether there are enterprise employees among the slaves imprisoned by the mutants.

If you can't be sure whether it exists, then it exists by default. Turning to look at Vanus, Chu Guang said seriously, Is there a new battle plan?

Vanus nodded.

The battle plan is a frontal attack. We have informed the 26th commando that fire support will arrive in half an hour. They intend to launch an attack in half an hour and lure the enemy units to their recommended bombardment coordinates.

Very well, just follow this plan, Chu Guang nodded, and after a short pause, he continued to order, Let the gun positions of the airship prepare for firepower, and at the same time let the Burning Corps stand by on the lower deck, ready to support our allies.

Yes! After giving a neat military salute, Vanus turned and walked out of the bridge.

Looking away from his back, Wu Changnian looked at Chu Guang with gratitude.

Thank you for your attention to our employees.

Chu Guang smiled lightly and said.

You're welcome, the crew of the Pioneer are not only our friends, but also kind to us.

Without that epoch-making machine tool, the subsequent industrialization would not have progressed so smoothly. No matter how big the brains of small players are, there must be something to turn ideas into reality.

Although it was a deal where everyone got what they needed, he knew very well that the other party actually took care of them, otherwise he wouldn't have acquiesced in allowing them to squeeze so much wool.

When parting from Captain Lu Yang, he said that he would remember this favor, and now is the time to repay this favor.

...But then again, was that person from Weilante just now? Wu Changnian raised his mouth as if thinking of something.

um, yes.

Seeing that Chu Guang's reaction was so flat, Wu Changnian couldn't help asking.

Is it really okay?

He had just reminded the young leader to be careful of every Willant.

Looking at the slightly apprehensive gaze, Chu Guang said indifferently.

He stayed voluntarily.

Before going to Luoxia Province, Chu Guang discussed this issue with Vanus. If he felt embarrassed to fight the legion, he could stay in Qingquan City. He would not force a person to participate in a war he did not want to participate in.

Objectively speaking, the officers Vanus trained for the alliance and his contribution to the establishment of the alliance's command system in the early days of his business are enough to repay his debts.

After the war, he could return to his homeland as a prisoner of war exchange like any other captive, and no one would know that he had ever served the Union.

However, after hearing his proposal, Vanus not only resolutely rejected the only chance to go home, he even stood frankly in front of the two prisoners who were destined to be exchanged back, Finod and McLenne, to show own loyalty to the alliance.

And the reason he gave made Chu Guang silent for a long time after hearing it.

...I have spent a year thinking about the meaning of this war, but we seem to have gained nothing but hatred and death. My troops are being wiped out in the south for no reason. My commander and his His subordinates were wiped out in ashes in the north, and I didn't have any regrets at the moment of failure, but felt a little relieved.

I don't think His Majesty the Marshal is wrong, and I don't think General Klass is stupid. Maybe if we continue to follow their path, we can really lead to a better future, but we don't understand it at the moment.

As General Klass used to say, we are the most vicious criminals, and all of us will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history by future generations, but they will thank us for leaving them a vast and boundless world. In that world there are only Weilante people, and Weilante people will not hate Weilante people, and the tragedies that happened before...whether it is two hundred years ago or the more distant past, will never happen again.

But here with you, I see another possibility that we have never imagined. Maybe there is a kind of unity beyond blood in this world... Just like you said, we are all survivors, no matter the refuge Residents, or wastelanders outside. What should be wiped out is not one of us, but the savagery raging on the wasteland.

War is a job for me, and unfortunately it's the only thing I can do. But if it makes a little bit of sense with you, please let me be by your side Keep going.

At the same time, on the lower deck, the flashing signal lights had conveyed the battle order.

A player eager to try has already put on the exoskeleton, took the most elite equipment, and brought sufficient ammunition.

This time it was to pick up an old friend home.

Moreover, it was an open military operation under the joint watchful eyes of the legion, the enterprise, and the academy.

Everyone is ready to show off in front of those old guys, to show the new Governor of the Willant people, whether they lost unjustly or not.

Brothers! The opponents this time are mutants! Back on 76th Street, our friends from the east coast caught us, this time it's time for us to catch them.

Walked in front of a group of good brothers.

Lao Bai, who was wearing the dragoon power armor, glanced around at the imposing brothers, and said loudly with a resonant voice.

There is only one purpose of action—

Not one left!

There was a deafening cry from the cabin door leading to the deck, and even the alloy floor shook violently under the burning fighting spirit.

Oh oh oh!

Kill those bastards!
