The dead players were sent to the morgue, and the active substance extractor started working. With so many corpses piled up, it would probably take until tomorrow morning.
The active substance reserves at the outpost are sufficient. The casualties of more than a dozen people are a bit too many, but they are not serious enough.
The remaining 6 seriously injured people, those who can recover should go back to the incubator to recuperate.
As for those who are missing limbs, or can't get out of bed for ten days or half a month, they are simply sent to the morgue to queue up.
Anyway, the VM is recovered and the equipment is stored. There is no death penalty for sacrificing in the war to defend the outpost, but there will be a small amount of pension.
Although the pension of a few silver coins is far less than what you can earn in the game, it can be regarded as a consolation that is better than nothing.
In the end, Chu Guang discovered that 4 of the 6 seriously injured players actually mended themselves.
These people really didn't hesitate at all...
Hair shampooer: "Wait a minute! Can you let me try jumping off the building? I haven't tried it yet!"
The other party is typing: "Do you want to scare Xiaoyu to tears?"
Hair shampooer: "Uh, okay, forget it, I'll just lie in the furnace..."
Anyway, there is pain shielding, so there is no difference between lying in it alive and lying in it dead.
According to the description of the brother on the forum, when lying in the iron coffin, you will feel a little hot at first, and then before you start sweating, you will be offline, which is similar to lying offline in the incubator.
Chu Guang is not interested in watching the little players describe how to die. What he cares about is that those mutants actually understand tactics.
If he hadn't decisively ordered the assault and personally went forward to eliminate the high-threat targets, the casualties of these players would have doubled.
At least, the few little players who were bitten by the mutants in front would definitely not survive.
In any case, there is no room for negotiation between the two sides.
As long as humans and mutants confront each other, it will be a fight to the death, and it will end with the complete destruction of one side.
Chu Guang instructed Xiao Qi to set up several more cruise nodes on the drone's cruise route, set Street 76 as the key reconnaissance area, and stroll around every 30 minutes, take a few photos, and observe whether there are any new movements.
However, these mutants are very cunning. Under the cover of vegetation, ruins, and buildings, it is difficult to be photographed by high-altitude drones.
After the two battles yesterday and today, the mutants on Street 76 have obviously become much more cautious, and the defense line has been shrunk to the vicinity of their nest.
To be honest, this is not something that mutants can do.
Chu Guang felt a little strange before. He had fought several rounds with the predators, but the mutants on Street 76 seemed to have seen nothing and stayed at home without going out.
Even now, it is the same.
Even though the exchange of fire between the two sides has entered a white-hot stage, these mutants are still mainly defensive, not taking the initiative to attack, and have not even set foot in the forest until now.
If it is just because of caution, this does not make sense at all.
Thinking of the inexplicably fresh corpses at the gate of the village, Chu Guang always feels that these mutants are guarding some incredible secrets in the village.
Is there a shelter under their feet?
Although he was full of doubts, Chu Guang did not dare to fly the drone too close.
These puzzling questions can only be further explored after the mutants' nest is taken down.
…
Real world.
Shanghai, 8 pm.
Cars come and go on the road, the streets are bustling, the high-rise buildings are colorful, and there is a prosperous world in the lights and wine.
Fang Chang took off his helmet and went offline. He couldn't stay idle at home, and he had no interest in playing other games, so he went downstairs for a stroll and enjoyed the evening breeze by the river.
After strolling along the street for a while, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
Fang Chang took it out and took a look. The message was actually from Lao Bai.
Lao Bai: [Brother, the first floor of the greenhouse ruins has been taken down! ]
Fang Chang was stunned and typed back.
[So fast? ! ]
Lao Bai: [It was just a matter of finishing up, and there were only a few moths left. By the way, I divided the 200 silver coins of the copy income with Mole Brother and his friends. Ye Shi and I took the priority exploration rights of the second floor and the negative first floor. The priority given by the administrator this time is 7 days, which is still plenty of time. We plan to wait until you go online tomorrow before continuing to download the dungeon. ]
Fang Chang: [No problem, but why are you offline too? ]
Lao Bai: [Hey, I came down to share my joy with my good brother. I'm afraid you'll be lonely down there. (grin)]
Fang Chang: [I almost believed it!]
Lao Bai: [Hahahaha, no more bragging. Just now the manager called me over and said that he would transfer a group of people from the brick factory. I'll go online and report first.]
Fang Chang rolled his eyes.
Having known each other for so many years, he could even imagine the smug expression on Lao Bai's face.
Fang Chang: [Go! By the way, we can sell the priority exploration right of the second floor to the mole. Anyway, there's no point in hoarding it. There's no time to play it. If it's auctioned off after 7 days, 50% will be deducted. My judgment is that we should concentrate our efforts on the strategy down, aiming at the backup generator on the B9 floor and the mother nest on the 10th floor. If nothing unexpected happens, all the good stuff is there!]
Lao Bai: [Okay, I'll ask later! ]
Fang Chang turned off the screen of his mobile phone, and his face was full of envy.
If that arrow hadn't hit his intestines and caused moderate blood loss, he wouldn't have had to stay in the incubator for a whole day!
However, there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, he wasn't a physical player, and his basic recovery speed was only slightly better than that of a normal person. The function of the incubator was only to provide a recovery bonus, and it didn't actively repair damaged tissues.
That must be the function of the "medical cabin".
This game was always too real in inexplicable places.
Whether it was the resurrection CD, the wound healing time, or the setting that the game character had to sleep every day, the game operator seemed to be afraid that the players would stay in the server for too long.
But Fang Chang could understand it.
If there was no anti-addiction system for this kind of completely real virtual reality online game, I'm afraid many people would stay in the game 24 hours a day.
Anyway, he would definitely.
"...If only my body in reality could be as strong as the one in the virtual world."
Looking at his right hand, Fang Chang clenched his fist, and he felt itchy inside, wishing he could put on the helmet and go back to the game right now.
Forget it, let's go shopping for a while.
At this moment, his eyes fell on a billboard of an archery club.
With a slight movement in his heart, Fang Chang immediately turned into the mall next door, took the elevator to the 5th floor, and found the archery club.
Although the flow of people in the mall was quite large, there were surprisingly not many people in the club.
Fang Chang bought a coupon with his mobile phone, and after checking the coupon, he followed the staff to the shooting range in the club.
Without waiting for the staff to introduce, Fang Chang spoke skillfully.
"50-meter target, give me a 28-pound bow."
This archery club was built in a mall with expensive rent, and the longest target was only 50 meters, and there were many children and couples playing with 30-meter targets next to it. Compared with the former, the latter is easier and more suitable for newcomers, but there are still many people who aim at their own targets but still shoot at the targets next to them.
The staff looked at him in surprise.
"Have you been here before?"
A 28-pound bow is still a bit difficult for beginners. The highest in their store is 28 pounds, and most customers play with 16 pounds or 20 pounds.
"I've played with it somewhere else."
After taking the bow, Fang Chang tried the string and estimated that the actual poundage should be around 26. It is probably because no one often uses it and neglects maintenance, which leads to a decline in the elasticity of the bow.
But it doesn't matter.
After hearing Fang Chang's words, the staff's eyes suddenly lit up and immediately started to promote it.
"Sure, brother, would you consider getting a card? Our coach here retired from the provincial archery team. The store occasionally holds some competitions. Last month's prize money was 1,000 yuan!"
Fang Chang laughed.
The provincial archery team is okay.
The pattern is still small. Other stores boast that their store managers have participated in the Olympics.
Feeling a little embarrassed by this smile, the staff member coughed dryly and forced the topic to shift to teaching.
"Brother, don't rush to shoot, your bow holding posture is wrong--"
Whoosh!
He put the arrow on the bull's eye, drew the bow and let go, a set of movements were smooth and flowing.
Looking at the arrow nailed on the bull's eye, the salesperson was stunned, his expression became more embarrassed, and he continued with a dry cough.
"Okay, brother, you are lucky! But your posture is wrong, it is easy to hurt yourself, otherwise I will show you the correct bow holding posture--"
Whoosh!
Another arrow nailed on the bull's eye.
This time the staff saw that this guy was here to fry fish, so they simply shut up and planned to wait for him to make a mistake before continuing.
Fang Chang was also a person who didn't like to talk nonsense. He aimed at the bull's eye and shot arrows one after another. After a while, the bull's eye 50 meters away was pierced into a hedgehog.
In one minute, all 15 arrows were shot!
There was no time for an arrow!
Not only the staff, but also the customers nearby were stunned. When the last arrow hit the target perfectly, they couldn't help but applaud.
"Wow! So cool!"
"This is too accurate!"
"And it's accurate and fast!"
"I was stunned. Is this a big shot from the provincial team here to fry fish?"
"Not really. It's probably a folk expert. The provincial team doesn't do fancy continuous shooting."
"Hawkeye! Is he like you?"
"Brother is awesome! Can you add me on VX? Let's play together next time."
Hearing this, Fang Chang smiled at his sister.
Play together?
Haha.
Can this broken bow be as fun as his "Dawn"?
Among the shop assistants watching nearby, someone held up a mobile phone, filmed the amazing archery just now, and uploaded it to a short video APP.
Before a minute had passed, he instantly received hundreds of likes.
"Oh, my old bones," Fang Chang looked at the target 50 meters away, shook his sore arms, and sighed softly, "I haven't exercised enough."
What a pity.
After all, the body in reality is not as good as the one in "Wasteland OL". After shooting only fifteen arrows, his arms are already a little sore.
Fang Chang estimated that his panel data in reality was probably only about 4.5, and it might not reach that level.
After all, he has been playing "Wasteland OL" these days. He wears a helmet and lies down at 6 o'clock in the evening, and each session lasts for 12 hours until the next morning. He didn't have the habit of eating breakfast before, but since he got the helmet, he simply saved the evening meal.
In the game, he can not only shoot the running mutant hyena, but also catch up and finish it off.
At this time, the owner of the archery hall came over, looked at him with fiery eyes, and handed over the business card in his hand.
"Friend, have you considered looking for a job? The work in our club is very easy. You just need to teach customers archery. With the commission for opening a card, the monthly salary starts at at least 10K!"
Just the set of unique skills just now will definitely go viral if it is made into a short video!
Will customers come in droves by then?
In just a short while, the number of likes for the short video uploaded by his clerk on his mobile phone has gone from over 100 to over 1,000!
"No, I'm used to being casual and don't like going to work very much."
Fang Chang, who took the business card from the store manager, smiled politely, returned the bow in his hand to the staff member, and turned away surrounded by a crowd of admiring eyes.
...
Wasteland world.
In the industrial area of the outpost base, [Yaer I want to go to the toilet rope] pushed a two-meter-wide cart and rushed out of the steel plant with a face full of excitement.
"Done! Brother Mosquito! I made it again! This time it will definitely work!"
On the cart, there was a brass machine and a bunch of parts. Although there was no name on it, it was not difficult to guess what it was used for just by looking at the big boiler.
Mosquito, who was carrying the raw materials to the small workshop, dropped the wooden box in the snow with a bang and excitedly gave Brother Suo a thumbs up.
"Brother is awesome!"
"No matter if it's awesome or not, hurry up and help me! Let's install it and see if it can run this time!"
[Ya'er I want to go to the toilet Suo] and [WC really has Mosquito] carried wrenches and pliers and grunted to assemble the brass machine.
The firewood was stuffed into the feed port.
As the firewood vaporizer started to work, the separated combustion was introduced into the combustion chamber and ignited, and began to heat the boiler filled with water.
The water gradually began to boil!
Patiently waiting for the pointers of the temperature indicator and the pressure indicator to reach the threshold, Mosquito excitedly pulled down the rocker and opened the valve that controlled the steam.
The hot steam entered the slide valve chamber through the main air valve and the throttle valve, and entered the left or right side of the cylinder alternately under the control of the slide valve, pushing the piston to move at high speed.
As for the cooled steam, it was introduced into the condenser through the pipeline for recycling, condensed into water and then flowed back to the boiler, and continued to be heated to repeat the above cycle.
The piston moved faster and faster, driving the crankshaft connecting rod mechanism to start working, converting the reciprocating motion into the rotational motion of the crankshaft to output power to the outside.
Teng Teng, who was standing aside and watching, was dumbfounded.
After a while, she finally uttered half a sentence.
"This... is a textile machine?"
WC Zhenyou Mosquito shouted excitedly.
"No! This thing is a steam engine!"
"That's right! It's a steam engine! We built a steam engine with the most primitive tools!" As he said that, Brother Ce Suo held Mosquito's hand and said excitedly, "Brother, your skills are amazing! Which school did you graduate from?"
"Well, I graduated a long time ago. My main job is selling furniture. I just like to tinker with some fun things when I'm bored. But you, your hands-on ability is much better than the students I've seen. If you use it in the right way, you will definitely have a bright future!"
"Haha, leave me your contact information! Let's chat on VX!"
"Wait for me to go offline, I'll send you a private message on the forum."
"Oh!"
"...?"
Looking at the two people who completely forgot about her as a customer and were chatting enthusiastically, Teng Teng was about to cry because of them.
I've been waiting for almost a week and this is the result? ? ?
So what does this steam engine have to do with the "textile machine order" she placed!
