I have medical insurance, so I'll go first: "Put down your weapons! Surrender and you won't be killed!"
Xiao Xiaoxiao Bookworm: "What?! Why is there no one resisting?"
Construction site boy and brick: "It's all for nothing!"
Midnight Killing Chicken: "Return the money! Mosquito, return the money! This rocket was not used at all!"
Borrow another ten centimeters from the sky: "Brother Chicken, forget it, it's just 5 silver coins, it's a good thing that it's not used, believe me!"
The war went very smoothly.
When the players rushed into the gate, the defenders of Beth Street had already dropped their weapons, squatted in the corner, and surrendered with their hands on their heads.
This made many players who were looking forward to a big fight feel like a punch on cotton.
Why surrender so quickly?
Can't they resist a little?
Following the manager through the wooden door that was blown open by the cannon, Wu Tiefu's face was full of shock and admiration.
So strong!
Before, he had only seen these blue jackets well-equipped, but he didn't expect that they were not only well-equipped, but also had no bad fighting skills.
Although there was no order when charging, the opponent was completely overwhelmed by their momentum and had no will to resist at all.
Thinking of this, Wu Tiefu secretly thanked his original decision. It was indeed a correct choice to rely on these strong men.
"Plant our flag on the wall!" Chu Guang looked around with some nostalgia, and then looked at Walter squatting in the corner, "You, get up."
Walter was stunned for a moment, holding his head with both hands and stood up.
"... Sir, what do you want?"
"Don't you recognize me?"
Old Walter smiled awkwardly.
"Recognize..."
Chu Guang smiled, took a knife from Wu Tiefu's hand, threw it into Old Walter's hand, and then pointed at the people squatting in the corner with his chin.
"Watch them for me."
Old Walter quickly took the knife and bowed his head respectfully.
"Yes, sir."
The weapons had been confiscated, and the guards had lost the will to resist.
Since they surrendered so readily, Chu Guang did not intend to embarrass them. As long as they waited until everything was over, he would let them go home to find their mother.
Leaving two high-contribution players to guard the gate, Chu Guang then told Zhao Shu to let him and Yu Hu comfort the survivors on Beth Street, telling them not to panic, stay at home and not go out, and wait patiently for the end of the war and the public trial of the old leech.
Noticing that the battle had subsided, Old Charlie walked out of the alley next to him.
When he saw Chu Guang's face, a surprised expression appeared on his face for a moment. Obviously, he did not expect that the leader of this group of blue coats was actually the stranger who was wandering around the wasteland.
However, he reacted quickly after all. He was only surprised for a few seconds, and then bowed his head respectfully and said.
"Respected sir, welcome to your arrival! The survivors of Beth Street are ready to welcome the new master."
"Raise your head, the era of the old leech is over, and the people here can decide their own future."
Seeing Charlie nod, Chu Guang didn't say much and went straight to the point.
"Since you are here, that's perfect. I need to let the people of Beth Street know that we are here to liberate them, not to persecute them. Except for the mayor who will be hanged, no one's life will be affected. So when we attack the castle, I hope no one will come out to get in the way, do you understand what I mean?"
Old Charlie certainly understood, and said respectfully with his head down.
"I will appease everyone for you!"
Chu Guang nodded, looked at the eager players behind him, and waved to the castle in the center of Beth Street.
"The rest of you, follow me in!"
The players all obeyed the command and marched forward along the street under Chu Guang's command, without harassing the survivors who were shivering in the shacks.
The only one who was not very quiet was one person.
Mosquito, who had not had enough fun after opening the gate with a cannon, was about to command the little player who helped him pull the cannon cart to fire at the castle, but was immediately stopped by Chu Guang.
Just kidding.
The fattest place in the entire Beth Street was the castle of the old leech.
This was his own trophy.
How could he blow it up?
There was no resistance along the way. Led by Chu Guang, the players passed through several brick houses near the center of the town and soon arrived at the gate of the castle.
When the group arrived, the gate of the castle was tightly closed, and the situation inside could not be seen clearly from the window alone.
Chu Guang directed the players to divide into three groups through VM.
One group surrounded the castle from the outside, one group occupied the armory next to the castle, and the remaining group attacked from the front of the castle to capture the old leech alive!
"Demolition team, get in place!"
"Ignite!"
Although they had clearly knocked the door open, the few players in charge of attacking the building still happily placed the explosives at the door.
The fuse burned out, and with a bang, the main door of the castle was blown to pieces and fell heavily backwards to the ground.
"GoGoGo!"
"Charge!"
After installing bayonets on their rifles, the players screamed and stepped through the smoke of the explosion and rushed into the castle.
When they saw the gorgeous decoration in the castle hall, everyone was shocked.
"Fuck, this is the style of a wasteland?!"
"Awesome, this pillar is made of marble!"
"The pillar should have been built before the war... but this carpet is made of bear skin!"
"Too rich, too rich!"
Everyone is still hungry, but the old mayor is already well-off!
Not only the carpets made of beast fur, but also the wall decorations hanging on the wall, and the crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling... all of this forms a sharp contrast with the decaying streets outside. This place doesn't look like a wasteland at all, but rather a palace.
In addition to those things that are very valuable at first glance, the players soon discovered that there is an elevator in this castle with only seven floors!
However, the generator here seems to have stopped working.
The players who entered the castle quickly split into two teams, one team swept up the stairs, and the other team started a carpet search from the first floor to find the location of the generator and the whereabouts of the old leech.
However, what was unexpected was that the players responsible for attacking the building searched the entire castle, but could not find the key NPC of the mission - the old leech family.
These people disappeared from the castle as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth!
However, soon, a player named [Midnight Killing Chicken] made a new discovery while exploring the underground wine cellar.
Carrying an axe back to the manager, Midnight Killing Chicken excitedly reported.
"Manager, we found a passage in the underground wine cellar!"
Dig a hole and ran away?
After hearing this, Chu Guang was not surprised.
With the old leech's tyrannical style of ruling, if he didn't build a way out for himself, he might not even sleep well at night.
Looking at Midnight Killing Chicken who was reporting the situation to him, Chu Guang immediately ordered.
"Take two people to chase them and see if you can catch up with them."
"It doesn't matter if you can't catch up, I need to know where the tunnel leads to!"
At the same time, the VM worn by Midnight Killing Chicken on his arm popped up a task pop-up window.
[Mission: Explore the underground passage of the castle wine cellar (the mission can be copied to up to two players)]
[Reward: 5 silver coins, 50 contributions]
Glancing at the task pop-up window, Midnight Killer excitedly clasped his fists.
"Yes!"
After saying that, he teamed up with two teammates nearby and headed towards the tunnel.
Looking at the backs of the little players running towards the underground wine cellar, Chu Guang touched his chin.
Speaking of which, this old leech is quite good at enjoying himself. He actually built a wine cellar in the basement?
It just so happens that when we celebrate the victory in the evening, the old mayor's collection can be given to the players as a welfare.
Thinking of this, Chu Guang walked to the armory next to the castle. The warehouse manager guarding here had surrendered and squatted in the corner.
Passing through the open door, Chu Guang looked inside, and a touch of surprise suddenly appeared on his face - and confusion.
30 iron pipe rifles produced in Boulder City, the same type of weapons that Lister sold to him. There were also homemade pistols, shotguns, etc. on the table, as well as bullets and fragmentation grenades in the box, which were enough to arm a guerrilla force!
These people's weapons were not weak.
They were even slightly more standard than the looters' equipment.
However, until the castle was breached, these weapons were not distributed to the survivors of Beth Street, but were given to them cheaply.
Wu Tiefu's face was full of confusion.
"Their equipment is not weak."
Chu Guang nodded.
"Yes."
"... Then why didn't he distribute the equipment to his people?"
"Because those people were not his people, but his servants and slaves. If he didn't need them to hunt, he wouldn't even allow them to have bows and arrows."
Chu Guang thought for a moment, looked at Wu Tiefu and continued.
"Let your people load these spoils onto the wagon and transport them back to the outpost to find Luca. He knows how to deal with them."
I didn't expect that the administrator would trust me so much.
Wu Tiefu was flattered, his face became serious, and he accepted the order solemnly.
"Yes, sir!"
At the same time, Chu Guang waved his hand, signaling the players behind him to follow him.
"Let's go."
"Let's go visit the private collection of the old leech!"
...
Just as the players at the outpost planted the 404 flag on the spire of the castle, Zhao Shu, who was ordered to go deep into the neighborhood and appease the masses, finally arrived at the door of his house.
Looking at his family, this skinny man burst into tears and hugged his family.
"Dad! Mom! Brother! Sister-in-law! I'm back!"
The elderly mother burst into tears.
"Son, you're finally back!"
"Thanks to those blue coats, I saved my life." Zhao Shu, with red eyes, sniffed and forced a smile on his face, "I asked the second son of the Yu family to bring you the salt... The boy brought it, right?"
The old man nodded, looking a little panicked.
"I brought it, I brought it! Son, tell me the truth, where did you get the salt? How come the quality is better than what we got at the grocery store?"
The eldest brother beside him also nodded and said nervously.
"Yeah, don't take other people's things!"
"What do you mean by taking other people's things? Am I that kind of person?" Zhao Shu said with a smile, "Don't worry, I got it with my wages!"
The eldest brother looked confused.
"Wages? What wages..."
When they worked for the old mayor, they never received any wages, at most they were given food. Sometimes I worked until 4pm, and it was still a while before lunchtime, and I didn't even have any food. I just threw a potato in my hand and sent them away.
Zhao Shu said with a chuckle.
"Working for those blue coats not only provides food and accommodation, but also gives a silver coin every day, which can be exchanged for things in their warehouse. That salt, I exchanged it from their warehouse! It's much more than what I exchanged from the grocery store in town!"
At this point, he shook his eldest brother's hand.
"Brother, why don't you come too? I see they are still recruiting people! That silver coin can not only be exchanged for salt, but also for food, which is worse than chips! Anyway, it's rare to catch prey in winter, so why not make bricks for them? The work is not tiring and it's warm, which is much more comfortable than lying in the snow waiting for prey!"
Zhao Shu's brother's eyes widened.
"Is it really as good as you say?"
Zhao Shu nodded vigorously.
"Of course! Can I still lie to you?"
The eldest brother touched the back of his head and muttered.
"Then I'll think about it... Are you going back home? Or will you follow those people?"
"I plan to work until next spring. There is not enough food at home, so I won't spend the winter at home!"
Looking at his younger brother, the eldest brother said a little apologetically.
"... You have suffered."
Hearing this, Zhao Shu couldn't help laughing.
"Well, what's the suffering? Big brother doesn't know how good life is over there. Occasionally we can stew fish soup. I feel like I'm getting fat. Forget it, I'll tell you next time you go there!"
Although he was reluctant, he still had a mission to do.
After saying goodbye to his family, Zhao Shu went out and continued to talk to the next family.
On the other side, the Yu family did the same.
Looking at the second brother who came back from outside, Yu Xiong, who was holding an axe in his hand and guarding the house with a frightened face, nervously pulled him and asked.
"What happened outside? Who are those people?"
Yu Hu said with a smile.
"Brother, don't worry, those are Brother Chu's people!"
"Brother Chu?!" Hearing that it was his savior, Yu Xiong was stunned, but he was no longer nervous. He threw away the axe in his hand and asked his brother, "Why is he here?"
"It's because of our mayor!"
At this point, Yu Hu thought of the letter. When he thought of the letter, he was so angry that his words became Chu Guang's tone.
"That old leech actually colluded with the plunderers in secret! He is really a piece of shit! Bah!"
The survivors in this wasteland all hated the plunderers, and even hated them more than the aliens.
Yu Xiong's face was full of surprise. He didn't understand the whole story, and he couldn't figure out how the mayor got involved with the plunderers.
"I'm relieved if it's those people," the old man standing next to him also let go of the weapon in his hand, and said with relief, "As long as they are not from the Blood Hand Clan, everything will be fine!"
Looking at his father, Yu Hu suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, by the way, Dad, I forgot to tell you that the Blood Hand Clan will no longer harass us!"
"Will not harass us again?" The old man glanced at his son and said with a smile, "Which winter will they not come? You said they will not harass us, so they will not harass us?"
"That's not what I said," Yu Hu smiled with a simple expression, and said proudly, "The Blood Hand Clan's nest has been razed by Brother Chu!"
"Those people will never come back!"
