The uses of acetic acid, acetone, and methanol are quite extensive.
If the shelter outpost wants to truly start industrialization, then these chemical raw materials are indispensable.
Although they are temporarily useless, Chu Guang still gave the player [WC Zhenyou Mosquito] a reward of 1,000 contribution points, and announced his outstanding contribution of "using wood as a raw material to successfully prepare acetic acid, acetone, and methanol".
By the way, is this considered a full-server announcement in online game novels?
Looking at [WC Zhenyou Mosquito]'s proud face and the envious expressions of other players, Chu Guang felt that he had to maintain this fine tradition.
Yes.
Not just in the game.
It must also be announced on the official website!
In the future, you can also make a hall of fame and record "On a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, a certain player achieved a certain achievement."
This achievement can be solving a development problem or clearing a certain difficult dungeon.
As a poor ruler, cheap honor is the only cost-effective reward he can give to players.
After finishing the work, Chu Guang took Ye Shi and Garbage Jun and continued to explore northward along the elevated road outside the wetland park.
While searching for traces of prey, they also looked for valuable exploration targets.
The industrial clusters in Qingquan City are mainly concentrated in the southeast corner of the city, fan-shaped along the Third Ring Road and the Second Ring Road.
The northern part where Linghu Wetland Park is located is mainly residential, and you can even see a lot of unfinished buildings along the road out of the city.
In addition to relatively complete public supporting facilities such as education, medical care, and transportation, this area has not formed a large-scale industrial cluster. Only some light industrial workshops are scattered in the suburbs far away from residential areas, and are neighbors with garbage incineration plants.
Now, most of them are covered by forests.
When the nuclear war came, the northern suburbs of Qingquan City were almost not directly hit by strategic weapons due to their large population base and extremely low strategic value.
However, in contrast, after the total collapse of order, the large number of refugees brought another kind of disaster here.
Supermarkets, convenience stores, vegetable markets, and shopping malls were quickly looted, followed by hospitals, schools, office buildings, and even all the shops along the street, and even every refrigerator and locker in the residence.
No shelter would risk its own safety to open the gate to accept them, and it was impossible to do so. The completely paralyzed traffic also made it difficult for these people to leave here.
Even today, two hundred years later, the bullet holes and broken glass on the wall can still give us a glimpse of the tragedy that once happened here.
Some windows, shelves, and trash cans still have skeletons that have not been completely weathered.
"Hiss... This is too miserable."
Looking at the two skeletons, one big and one small, hugging each other, Garbage King couldn't bear to move his eyes away and closed the open trash can door.
Ye Shi's reaction was quite calm. After all, it was not the first time he had gone on a long journey with Chu Guang. He was accustomed to the situation here and even commented on it with the airs of an old player.
"To be honest, the scene design of this game is quite good... It's like a real post-apocalyptic world."
"This is the post-apocalyptic world."
Chu Guang replied casually, carefully observing the situation in the store window and making a mark on the paper map.
This should be a clothing store.
However, there are not many clothes left on the shelves, and the only two rags hanging are covered with black mold.
Obviously, scavengers have visited here a long time ago.
And more than one wave came.
"... I think we are wasting our efforts," Ye Shi sighed, "Obviously, this place has been looted."
"You can always find something useful... Like this thing." Chu Guang found an unopened sewing kit from the back of the almost shattered cabinet and threw it into Ye Shi's hands.
The needle should be made of alloy material, and the thread should be rayon. If it is not opened, there will be no problem of oxidation. Not to mention after two hundred years, it can be used even after another two hundred years.
At this moment, the outpost lacks these small tools the most.
Teng Teng should be interested in it.
There is nothing left to search, and the group is ready to withdraw from this store.
However, at this moment, a shrill howl suddenly came from the distance, followed by two gunshots.
It sounded like 5mm bullets.
Chu Guang was alert instantly, took out the iron pipe rifle from his back, crouched down and hid in the shadow of the wall, and carefully looked at the source of the sound.
Not far away, under the tilted billboard, a man in a gray coat was shot and fell to the ground, moving back with a terrified face.
Blood oozed from his back and flowed all over the ground.
"... scavenger?"
Not long after, another figure turned around the corner.
I saw a gunman in an animal skin coat, biting a half-smoked cigarette, holding an iron pipe rifle made of garbage in his hand, and walking towards the man lying on the ground begging for mercy.
Behind him, there was a man and a dog.
The accomplice was holding a rifle of similar shape, with a fire axe hanging from his waist and a dog chain on the other side.
Chu Guang's pupils shrank slightly.
In less than a second, he quickly determined the identities of the two.
Predators!
"What's going on outside?" Ye Shi came over from the side and asked in a low voice.
He thought he had been very quiet, but his hiding skills were still more than a little weak.
"Shh!"
Chu Guang had just time to make a gesture to silence, and saw the mutant hyena with a chain around its neck turned its head and barked at him twice.
Chu Guang's face changed instantly.
Damn!
This beast's skill points are all added to perception? !
In a flash, the two predators also looked over and reacted quickly, raising their rifles and shooting.
Bang Bang!
After two consecutive gunshots, Chu Guang quickly retracted his head, but soon he found that he was just worrying too much.
The handmade DIY rifle probably had no rifling.
At a distance of one street, the gunfire was in vain, and the bullets didn't even touch the door next to him, and all fell on the cement road.
"Are we exchanging fire?! What's going on?! Have we run into mutants?!" Jun Lazi, who was hiding in the shop, was not panicked at all, and even rubbed his hands excitedly.
Ye Shi was the same, and he drew his javelin at the first time.
"Don't panic, all of you, let me take a look first--"
"What the hell are you looking at!"
Seeing that these two guys didn't know how to be afraid, Chu Guang's nose was crooked, and he freed his hand to hold Ye Shi's head and pushed him back.
"It's the looters! Both of them have guns and are followed by a dog! You retreat from the back door, and we will meet in front of the bus station 300 meters away in the south direction--"
"Dear administrator, why should we retreat? There are only two people and a beast on the opposite side, and we have no fewer people than them!" Jun Lazi clenched his fists, "We can also fight!"
"Yes! We can fight!"
Ye Shi also nodded excitedly, picked up the crossbow that the administrator had just thrown, and said with high morale, "Although we only have one gun, we still have Molotov cocktails... and this two-meter-tall lizard. I don't believe he can't beat a dog."
Hearing this, Chu Guang, who was nervous, instantly came back to his senses.
Yes.
Why run?
In the past, I was alone, my head tied to my belt and I was working outside to open up wasteland. It was normal to hide when I encountered such vicious bandits.
Now I have guns and people, why run!
Besides, there were only two people on the other side.
Chu Guang also reacted quickly, making a decision immediately, and at the same time pulled the bolt to load the bullet.
Damn him!
"You, take the Molotov cocktail over there." Chu Guang threw the Molotov cocktail and the match into Ye Shi's hand, and pointed at the corner diagonally opposite.
"Follow my command carefully, and when the gun goes off, you light it and throw it!"
The other party didn't know how many people there were on their side, and if they saw someone rushing out, they would definitely chase after him.
Ye Shi, who took the Molotov cocktail, was stunned.
"I, how should I get over there."
"Run over there, or do you want me to carry you over? Don't worry, their guns don't have rifling, so they can't hit you." As he said that, Chu Guang stretched out his hand and pushed him.
Ye Shi stumbled to the door.
Although he was panicking, he thought that this was an opportunity to show off in front of the manager, so he gritted his teeth and went ahead.
Damn it.
Fight!
What's the point of being afraid of a der in the game!
As expected, just as Chu Guang expected, when they saw Ye Shi rushing out of the store, the two looters immediately made a strange noise and fired two shots at him.
"Haha, my little baby, where are you running to?"
"Give up, you can't run away, and you can still be spared if you surrender now!"
Ye Shi didn't understand what these people were saying, he just felt the bullets whizzing past his scalp.
He didn't dare to stop for a moment, nor did he dare to look up, and rushed into the store on the other side of the street.
The two looters looked at each other, smiled evilly, and pressed forward with guns in front and behind, and released the dog chain.
There was no gun on them.
Most likely they were scavengers picking up garbage nearby.
For them, pinching a scavenger to death was no different from stepping on a cockroach.
Chu Guang, hiding in the store, did not move, quietly waiting for the opportunity.
Hearing the dog barking getting closer, he suddenly leaned out half of his body, aimed at the mutant hyena running towards him, and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The 9mm bullet burst out of the barrel. There was no way to dodge at a distance of less than five meters. It shot through the side of the beast——
Although Chu Guang aimed at the head.
Before he could even scream, the hyena fell to the ground and rolled two meters before it stopped moving.
The predator who rushed to the nearby was stunned at first, obviously not expecting that the other party also had a gun.
When he came to his senses, his partner who had been with him day and night had died tragically, and the expression on his face was instantly distorted by anger.
"I'm going to skin you alive!"
"Qiong, calm down! There is more than one person——"
Before the voice fell, a Molotov cocktail was thrown over and hit the wreckage of the scrap car behind the two with a snap.
The flames rose along with the scattered glass fragments.
Seeing that the other party actually had Molotov cocktails, the predators hurriedly dodged and had already begun to retreat. However, they were blocked by the flames and had no way to retreat for a while, and fell into a passive dilemma.
At this moment, one of the predators suddenly caught a glimpse of a terrifying figure from the eaves of a street shop.
It was a lizard with dark green skin.
Or rather, a humanoid lizard.
"Monster--"
Whoosh--!
A sound of breaking through the air tore off the predator's words, and the oncoming javelin pierced his chest directly, nailing him to the burning scrap car behind him.
Until the last moment of his life, he didn't understand why the monster that looked like an alien was mixed with scavengers.
He had heard of taming mutant hyenas as pets, and even heard of raising bears and horses, but it was the first time he heard that someone could tame this thing.
This is too outrageous!
