Around 3:00 p.m.
Chu Guang returned to the outpost on the surface of Shelter 404 with Ye Shi and the prey they had hunted.
The harvest from this exploration was quite good. Although the two mutant hyenas looked a little thin, they weighed about 40 to 50 kilograms each.
As one of the main sources of meat for the survivors in the wasteland, mutant hyenas are the most cost-effective prey. The meat they can provide is more than ten times that of mutant mice, and there are also many of them. They often appear in groups of three or five, and the most important thing is that the risk of food poisoning is not too high.
However, in contrast, without guns, it is difficult for ordinary scavengers to defeat this kind of group-moving alien with cold weapons.
"Two mutant hyenas, and... one good news and one bad news." Chu Guang said to the players who were coming towards him after throwing the prey at the door of the sanatorium.
Lao Bai asked the first question.
"What's the good news?"
Chu Guang replied.
"The good news is that there is an unfinished construction site northeast of the wetland park along the elevated road out of the city all the way north. We found a lot of limestone for engineering there, which should be the kind that has been desulfurized. There are also some abandoned carts that should be usable after repair."
Lao Bai's face showed a joyful expression, and he clenched his fists excitedly.
"Great!"
He was worried about not being able to find the raw materials for refining calcium carbonate cement, but he didn't expect the problem to be solved so quickly.
And it's ready-made materials!
However, Fang Chang, who was standing next to him, felt that things were not that simple.
"What about the bad news?"
Chu Guang continued.
"At the main east gate of the wetland park, continue along Street 76, there is a mutant camp. Roughly estimated, the number is more than 20."
The three players looked at each other and did not understand the meaning of this sentence.
Seeing the confusion of his companions, Ye Shi hurriedly supplemented the explanation.
"Mutants are hostile forces! They are strong in combat, and the most important thing is that they eat people. We must be careful!"
Chu Guang nodded.
"That's about it."
After hearing this, the three players were not afraid, but showed an eager expression, but Chu Guang quickly poured cold water on their excitement.
"Those mutants are not what we can deal with now. They are at least level 10. If we contact them rashly, we will not only be killed, but also expose our position."
"From now on, everyone is prohibited from approaching Street 76 and is prohibited from leaving the east gate of the Wetland Park until the threat is lifted!"
...
The players are quite obedient.
Although they are curious about what mutants look like, the administrator who holds the GM authority has said so, and they dare not disobey the order.
Being locked up in a small dark room is a small matter.
It's so uncomfortable to lose the favorability that has been raised with great difficulty.
It seems that the players don't need to worry too much.
After a brief inspection of the morning's work, Chu Guang concentrated on thinking about how to deal with the prey he had just caught.
Although he had eaten this stuff before, he bought it at the barbecue stall on Bet Street. He had never dealt with this kind of thing himself.
Chu Guang only heard that the prey that had just been caught needed to be bled immediately, otherwise the meat would become fishy and smelly. As for how to bleed it and how to deal with it after bleeding, he was not very clear.
In the past five months, he mainly relied on picking up garbage to earn chips, and he did not have much experience in hunting.
After all, hunting is too dangerous for a lone traveler.
In short, after killing the prey, he cut the prey's aorta, but he always felt that the blood was not drained clean.
Just as Chu Guang was thinking, Kuangfeng walked towards him.
"Dear Administrator."
"What's the matter?"
"Can you give me some blood from the prey?"
"Blood? What do you want that for?" Chu Guang asked.
Kuangfeng explained.
"I want to verify some conjectures, and I need it."
Chu Guang didn't think much about it. He picked up the short knife, chopped off a front leg from the mutant hyena in front of him, and threw it into Kuangfeng's hand.
"Take it."
"Thank you!"
After Kuangfeng thanked him, he left mysteriously.
Although Chu Guang was curious, he didn't ask much.
Around dusk, all the players returned to the sanatorium. Looking at the expression on Lao Bai's face, he knew that today's harvest must be great.
Chu Guang wanted to ask about it, but before he asked, Lao Bai couldn't wait to speak.
"Dear manager, under your wise guidance, the cement kiln at the outpost has been basically completed. When the cement is dried tomorrow, we can start to test the first batch of cement!"
"Very good."
Chu Guang nodded approvingly and encouraged.
"Thanks to you, we are one step closer to the great goal of reviving the Human Alliance! I hope you will keep up the good work, and the organization will remember your contributions."
Chu Guang felt that he was becoming more and more skilled in making promises.
However, the players did not seem to care whether he was making promises or not. It seemed that they had already discovered new fun in the labor of rebuilding their homes.
To put it bluntly, isn't that what sandbox games are all about?
Watching your homeland get better little by little is also part of the fun. It is a lucky thing to be the first to experience this epoch-making immersive virtual reality technology.
Chu Guang was of course happy that these players could enjoy it.
The shelter was too poor now, and he really couldn't give them any substantial rewards. He could only make promises and give them some air coins.
...
After going offline.
The Cow and Horse Club was bustling again.
Recently, many night owls have changed their schedules to the living world.
Led by Brother "Quit Smoking", people who used to sleep until dawn now go to bed at 10pm every day and get up at 5am, just to watch a few dog managers "doing things".
Ye Shi: [Mutants! New forces updated! Managers encountered a mutant settlement on Street 76! To confirm that mutants are hostile forces! ]
Ye Shi, who was the first to go offline, couldn't wait to be the first to bubble up, igniting the gossip enthusiasm of group friends.
[Mutants? ! What do they look like? ]
[Why hasn't the official website been updated yet? ]
[Awesome! There are hostile forces, and the internal test should be coming soon! ]
[Fuck, I really want to play! ]
A series of news was blown up.
Ye Shi continued to type.
[I don't know what it looks like yet, and I haven't seen it! But don't panic, the official website will definitely update the information about mutants, and I'm waiting for news here! ]
Quit Smoking: [Where are the other three people? Why are you the only one online today? ]
Night Ten: [I don't know! The boss seems to be studying cement. Kuangfeng should have classes in the morning. I don't know about Fang Chang. This guy has always been very mysterious. ]
(Public Enemy of Girls Night Ten was banned for 1 hour by the group owner for the first time.)
Lao Bai: [You are calling me the boss! (Angry)]
Spare someone under the knife: [Hahaha, good ban! ]
WC really has mosquitoes: [Excited... Wait two more days, I can participate in the test! ]
Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes: [+1 (funny.jpg)]
Quit Smoking: [Fuck! Ban these two show-offs too! Too hateful! I made the reservation first! T.T]
What can I do with my pride: [Alas, there is no hope, there is really no hope. ]
Even now, this old man named "Ye Aonaiwohe" still doesn't believe in the nonsense of "fully immersive virtual reality online games", let alone "100% real".
He and his fans still firmly believe that this is a trick of dog managers who have joined forces to spread rumors.
"The future is long" did not bubble up in the group today, but updated today's trial experience on the official website forum-
Or handwritten game live.
[Today is the third day of the closed test. The charcoal kiln provides us with a lot of coal, and with the successful firing of plant ash cement, we built a larger cement kiln under the leadership of the boss. If tomorrow's trial firing is successful, we will get more reliable building materials to build our homes. ]
[I have to praise the production team. The experience brought to me by this game is something that no game released on the market has ever brought me. Especially when the cement kiln is completed, the sense of accomplishment that comes with it is simply irresistible! ]
[Today's test content is not much, mainly testing the game's sandbox system. ]
[However, it is worth noting that today the administrator revealed to us that there is a mutant tribe at the end of Street 76, which has been confirmed as a hostile force. All players need to be careful to avoid it, but the administrator did not reveal more information about the mutants. As of now, the official website has not updated the mutant photos. Perhaps the plot has not reached there yet. ]
[If there is new information, I will update it in the post as soon as possible. Please continue to pay attention to this post! ]
"Tuyou" is the self-proclaimed name of the players who have made reservations.
Although there are only about 40 people now, these people are all active-even fanatical users. It didn't take long for the post to be covered dozens of floors.
Chu Guang silently peeked at the screen and did not participate in the discussion of the players.
But it was still the old rules. He wrote down some good opinions with his pen, and marked some players with special ideas in the background.
If there is a new plan to recruit players, these loyal users are the top priority, while those who like to argue and stir up trouble will be slowed down. It is better to let them act as an atmosphere group online rather than letting them come in to make trouble.
To put it bluntly, you are here to make trouble, why should we let you in?
Just because you have a small face and a poor brain?
At the current closed beta stage, Wasteland OL is actually more like a private server, and it is also an acquaintance server managed by a power dog, which will not give people the opportunity to make trouble. And by gradually increasing the reservation threshold, those players who have the game qualifications will also cherish the opportunity in their hands.
As for the public beta stage, it is easier to say.
The public beta naturally has its own gameplay.
At that time, just enclose a piece of land as a novice village. Without a certain level or honorary title, you can't even see him.
Chu Guang found that he was becoming more and more sinister without knowing it.
When did it start?
Forget it.
There is no point in thinking about such things.
After turning off the computer, Chu Guang opened the system and confirmed the rewards for today's daily tasks.
[Task: Cut down ten trees, reward: 1 reward point]
[Task: Kill an alien, reward: 3 reward points]
"Today's tasks are a bit few."
Only 4 points in total.
Chu Guang struggled with his thoughts, but finally couldn't help it. He opened the manager's allowance and threw all 4 reward points on the primary blind box.
The alloy door opened.
The conveyor belt rolled.
Looking at the 4 lollipops lying at the end of the conveyor belt, Chu Guang almost couldn't help but spit out a friendly Chinese curse from his mouth.
However, at this moment, a semi-transparent holographic pop-up window suddenly floated above one of the lollipops with a light gold outer packaging.
Just like a label-
[Enhanced Chocolate Flavor Lollipop: Strength increase +10%, duration 10 hours. ]
Chu Guang: "?"
What?
