At the same time.
On the VM map page, the "Action Camp" logo was replaced by a new logo.
And a complete data card!
Base Name: Changjiu Farm
Base Level: Village (Lv1)
Prosperity: 100
Industrial Index: 0
Business Index: 0
Demand: Building Materials (Donations can gain regional reputation)
Tendency: Exploration (Scavenging Mission Income +10%), Construction (Infrastructure Mission Income +10%)
Looking at the series of messages popping up on the VM, the little players standing in the open space exchanged surprised looks and started to discuss.
"Damn! The expansion pack is really over!"
"The industrial index and business index are both 0, what the hell?"
"After all, the black workshops and black brick kilns are registered at the outpost, so the industrial index is 0, which is fine. The NPCs are gone, so the business index is also 0... I'm just guessing."
"Changjiu Farm? Where is Nonghe Farm? What else is there to grow? Why can't I see anything?"
"+1! The operator is selling dog meat under the guise of sheep meat!"
At the same time, on the B2 floor of the shelter ten kilometers away, more than 200 cultivation chambers were opened at the same time, and the sound of banging doors rang out one after another.
Not only the players who died in the previous battle.
There are also newcomers who just logged into the game.
More than 200 people logged into the game at the same time!
Those newcomers still follow the old rules, let them get excited in the room for a while, and wait until they are dressed and the radio in the room finishes playing the novice tutorial and user precautions, and then the alloy door will open.
As for the old players who have just resurrected, Chu Guang also locked them up and let them calm down for a while before letting them out.
After all, I have been holding it back for so long, and it is inevitable that I will do some stupid things when I am excited. This game does not allow you to register a small account, so it is better to do those things that will kill the company alone when no one is around.
This is also for their own good.
However...
Chu Guang still underestimated the power of withdrawal rebound.
As soon as the alloy door of the single room was opened, brother Makabazi rushed into the B2 floor lobby like a wild husky.
He slid forward, hugged the door of the central elevator with both hands, and poked the up button with his fingers like a convulsion, shouting excitedly while poking.
"Hahahaha! I'm back again! The first place is mine!"
Soon, the sound of footsteps surged from the corridor to the lobby, and followed the footsteps of brother Makabazi and rushed up.
"Fuck! How can this guy run so fast! Is he a dog?"
"Don't rush! There are only a few elevators, come one by one, I'll go up first to help you explore the way and see if the snow is heavy!"
"Ahhh, let me go up first! I want to see Xiaoyu counting money!"
"You bastard, what's so good about Xiaoyu! I want to see the handsome manager!"
"I came first! It was obviously me first!" Makabazi, who was squeezed out of the crowd, screamed and cried when he saw the elevator going up.
They opened a bet on the official website forum before, betting 1 silver coin, whoever leaves the shelter first will be the winner, and everyone else has to pay him.
Except for the garbage man who couldn't get out of the door, more than a hundred small players who were stuck with the bug participated.
More than a hundred!
One coin per person, it adds up to a huge sum of money!
The elevator was crowded with people.
Those new players who were still in the back, slowly moving around, looking around, and sighing at how realistic the modeling was, were petrified on the spot after seeing the performance of these old players.
What are these people doing.
Is this game so wild?
Xia Yan, who was standing next to him with her arms folded, looked at the guys squeezing at the elevator door with disdain, and couldn't help complaining to Xiao Qi next to her.
"Are these guys' brains broken? Why do I feel that they are not very smart?"
Like old Luca, she probably guessed some inside information. These players are similar to clones and will not really die.
She didn't know much about cloning technology. She only knew that this thing was not rare in the wasteland, so she didn't take it too seriously.
Who knows?
Maybe there is a technology that can extract a tube of brain and re-create a clone, but she is not an expert in studying this thing.
Besides, considering that Chu Guang would carefully collect every corpse and throw it into the furnace that was used to refine something unknown.
Maybe it is possible.
Xiao Qi moved the camera and looked at Xia Yan beside him, saying helplessly.
"The master said this is performance art, don't worry about them. If someone does something strange, just let Xiao Qi deal with it."
Performance art?
What is that.
Frowning and thinking for a long time, Xia Yan couldn't figure it out, so she decided not to think about those troublesome things.
Walked in front of the new players.
She put down her arms in front of her chest, gently shook her fiery red hair, and scanned them with sharp eyes.
"Are you the newcomers sent by the organization?"
"Unfortunately, the manager is not here, I will train you today."
"If you don't want to be embarrassed, you'd better be obedient."
The above are all the lines of the weapon shop owner.
The next part of the novice guidance will be conducted by Xiao Qi, the assistant of the administrator and the chief repeater.
However...
It is obvious that no one pays attention to the little guy who looks like a wastebasket.
The new players who are still in shock have not very smart expressions on their faces, staring at the heroic boss Xia with their eyes wide open.
Training?
Be obedient?
Wait, is this content that can be played without spending money?
...
With the online access of new and old players, the number of players in the "server" has been full again, reaching the upper limit of 500 people.
Almost at the same time, Chu Guang's administrator system finally received a new non-daily task for a long time.
And it triggered two at once!
Task: Explore Shelter No. 117.
Type: Main line.
Requirements: Use the map information collection function of the VM to complete the exploration of all areas of Shelter No. 117, leaving no corner untouched.
Reward: Unlock the B3 floor.
Mission: Find the VM of the manager of Shelter No. 117.
Type: Side Quest
Reward: 200 reward points.
"The authority of the B3 layer is actually related to Shelter No. 117?"
In the central square of the action camp, Chu Guang, who had just assigned tasks to the players here, touched his chin and looked at the two task cards in the system interface with interest.
Neither of these two tasks is difficult. Boss Xia knows the location of Shelter No. 117, and even the magnetic card for opening the door is here.
In this snowy and frozen weather, he doesn't have to worry about mercenaries from Boulder City coming to compete with him.
As long as he solves the aliens from the subway entrance to the shelter entrance, his little players can even scrape the ground for it, not to mention exploring the map!
As for the VM of the manager of Shelter No. 117, this requires a little luck, after all, no one can say whether that guy is still in the shelter.
"The Iron Fist rocket launcher in the arsenal is just right for use. It seems that there are also ten light machine guns? It shouldn't be a big problem to deal with the crawlers."
Anyway, the firepower is definitely enough, so let the players worry about this task.
As for Chu Guang himself, he has more important things to do.
Came to the east side of Changjiu Farm, where there is a foam-structured barracks where the legion's prisoners are held.
Twenty-six people squeezed into a room, all sleeping on the floor, wearing only a single piece of clothing, and had to stick to the water pipes because of the cold.
When Chu Guang arrived nearby with two small players of the strength system, the centurions in the barracks were whispering.
"Those corporate people left..."
"They didn't take us with them."
"Are you going to leave us to the natives?"
Thinking of the hundreds of shelter residents who died in that battle, many people showed panic on their faces.
God knows how those barbarians will treat them.
Maybe they would throw them into the snow and watch them freeze to death, or they could let them kill each other and then cruelly execute the last one who survived.
They were afraid because they had seen these things even if they had not done them.
In the legion, similar methods were common. They not only used them against the enemy, but also occasionally used them to punish their own people.
Vanus did not participate in their discussion, but just sat quietly against the wall, quietly waiting for his fate.
The answer is actually obvious.
The people of the enterprise refused to sell them to the local survivors' base and refused to mediate, obviously they had no intention of letting them live.
Now it's just a question of how to die.
At this time, the door of the barracks opened, and the cold wind wrapped in snow foam blew in all of a sudden, freezing the people at the door and shivering.
Of course, it's not entirely cold.
It's also partly because of the man standing at the door.
Here he comes!
Looking at Chu Guang's face, Vanus felt his heart in his throat. He just hoped that these people would give him a quick death and not torture him for too long.
However, what he didn't expect was that the shelter manager standing at the door did not immediately order them all to be executed.
Instead, he looked at them and said.
"From now on, you will be reformed by labor. If you want to live, you have to work."
Looking down at the people in the cell with cold eyes, Chu Guang looked at them and continued.
"Who is your commander?"
A pair of eyes looked hesitantly at the man leaning against the wall in the cell.
Knowing that this thing could not be concealed at all, Vanus sighed in his heart and simply stood up from the ground.
"It's me... my lord."
Chu Guang always felt a little funny when he heard this guy calling him lord.
Just when he was about to say that he had some backbone, he softened.
However, Chu Guang's face still maintained an expressionless majesty, staring at the man with sharp eyes.
"The rest of you stay here and wait for arrangements. As for you, come out with me."
Following Chu Guang out of the barracks, Vanus felt his legs as stiff as if they were filled with lead. He always had a feeling that this road led to the execution ground.
But even so, he had to go.
The north wind was howling.
The wind and snow were like knives, whizzing at him. Vanus, who was only wearing a single piece of clothing, was frozen so that his lips were purple and blue, and his muscles trembled uncontrollably.
The two little players next to Chu Guang whispered.
"Damn, our manager is still a sadist."
"Torture people before hanging them."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, too miserable, too miserable."
Chu Guang ignored the two little players' whispers about the mission plot, took Vanus to the warehouse of Changjiu Farm, took a piece of dead clothes that the players looted from the battlefield, and threw it in his hand.
"Put it on."
Vanus, who thought he would be executed, was surprised to receive the fur coat with bullet holes, but he reacted quickly and did it.
Although the cold coat did not bring him a trace of warmth, it at least prevented his body temperature from losing so quickly.
"Your subordinates will stay here to burn cement, carry stones, and build our homes, and you will be assigned to the brick kiln ten kilometers away."
Vanus swallowed his saliva and moistened his dry throat.
"Can I say a word?"
Chu Guang looked at him.
"Yes."
He tried to suggest, forcing a forced smile from his frozen face.
"I have family in the west. I can pay the ransom for myself... How about 100,000 dinars? No, 200,000! I can take out all my property!"
Chu Guang: "Dinar?"
Vanus quickly explained: "That's our currency, made of gold. 200,000 dinars is enough to buy 100 strong slaves. They are not mass-produced cannon fodder. They are all capable of working and understanding human language, almost the same as normal people."
Looking at the mocking smile on the man's face, Vanus spoke faster, even a little flustered, completely without the previous calmness.
"Of course, if you are not interested in hard labor, you can also use this money to buy dozens of beautiful female slaves. They have excellent genes and have undergone professional training... I promise you that I will pay the ransom, just ask you to let me live!"
It seems that the legion uses precious metals as currency and mainly engages in slave trade.
But think about it, after all, their cloning technology is so advanced, there is no reason to produce only one type.
Mass-produced clones are sent to the battlefield to charge and serve as cannon fodder, while naturally grown clones and survivors serve as coolies and are sent to factories or mines to work.
The strength of this legion should not be underestimated.
Interrupting his plea for mercy, Chu Guang looked at him and said.
"Wait until the beginning of next spring, if there is a caravan going west, you can send a letter to your family and ask them to bring the ransom to redeem you."
"But not now."
"You, like your officers, need to undergo labor transformation. This has nothing to do with the ransom. Do you understand what I mean?"
Although he felt humiliated, at least his life was saved.
Vanus moved his stiff neck and lowered his head.
"I understand..."
"I am willing to obey your arrangement."
It doesn't matter whether this sentence is sincere or not.
Chu Guang only needs to keep these troubles under his nose until the war situation in the north becomes clear.
After all, it is not appropriate to release or execute these people. If he does not arrange some work for them, Chu Guang will feel that he is at a disadvantage.
He is not the good guy on the Pioneer, who is willing to give out precious food to feed them for nothing.
In addition to Vanus who was sent to the brick factory, a total of 25 junior officers were issued a shovel and a fur coat that barely kept warm. Under the supervision of four guards holding rifles, they cleared the snow from the open space and roads in the camp.
In the afternoon, they will be arranged to level the land outside the farm.
Chu Guang plans to build a cement factory to the south of Changjiu Farm, and the cement produced will be used to build roads to connect the outpost with Changjiu Farm.
When the road is repaired, the commuting time from the outpost to Changjiu Farm will be shortened by more than half.
At that time, Chu Guang also plans to build the road to the subordinate towns in the north to facilitate his players to go there to open up wasteland, and establish a new action camp in the farther Tianshui City.
It is said that the survivors there will be slightly weaker and more scattered, not as strong as the Stone City.
Since it is impossible to expand to the south, then expand to the north.
Chu Guang plans to occupy all the land along the elevated road out of the northern suburbs of Qingquan City to absorb refugees from the northern part of the Valley Province.
Anyway, this is the idea.
On the other hand, those little players who finally succeeded in resurrecting finally received compensation for missing the expansion pack.
The maximum compensation is 300 silver coins, and the minimum is 150 silver coins. In addition, there are 100 activity points and everyone has a chance to win a lottery.
The final lottery is the highlight of the entire expansion pack.
According to the rules announced on the official website.
100 activity points can be exchanged for a high-level gift box, which can be guaranteed to give out a Legion Iron Barrel Rifle worth 100 silver coins. In the reward pool, there are also expensive, expansion-exclusive, and Pioneer-like assault rifles available.
10 activity points can be exchanged for an intermediate gift box, which can be guaranteed to give out weapon accessories, armor, or bandages. In the reward pool, there is also an expansion-exclusive red dot sight worth 233 silver coins.
Although 1 activity point cannot be drawn, it can be exchanged for 1 silver coin, but no one uses it to exchange.
Are you kidding? The gift box gives out limited rewards!
If a red dot sight is released, it will take off directly?
Only a fool would use activity points to exchange for money!
Since not all players have VMs, the lottery for this expansion was arranged on the official website.
It was 6 o'clock in the evening in the wasteland time, and 6 o'clock in the morning in the real time.
The announcement of the exchange of gift boxes was posted on the official website on time.
When the players and cloud players squatting on the forum saw the dazzling reward pool, the entire server instantly boiled over!
