Changjiu Farm.
The heavy snow stopped for a while.
The snow inside and outside the wall was so thick that it could sink a person's calf.
Two guards carrying arbitrator rifles pressed down four ragged prisoners and urged them to build a mound on the open space on the north side of the wall.
They sealed the mound with branches, dead leaves, licorice and other things, leaving only a small hole at the top and bottom, and then lit it.
The fire gradually burned from the bottom to the top, and soon thick smoke billowed.
"Why do we have to light a fire at the north gate?" The slightly younger guard looked at the officer next to him, his face full of confusion.
Wrench answered meticulously.
"We just need to follow the orders of the administrator."
To be honest, Wrench was actually muttering in his heart.
With such a lot of smoke, aren't you worried about attracting nearby looters?
In fact, the looters are fine, as they might attract refugees.
There is a war in the north, and this winter is extremely difficult. Even the deer know to go south, let alone people?
November is coming soon.
It will be even more difficult then...
But since it is the order of the administrator, he did not dare to ask more questions, just do it anyway.
...
[Announcement for the whole server: Due to the need to adjust the values of new equipment, the "Sickle" series of weapons will be logged in to the NPC weapon store in three days. Players who cannot redeem prizes temporarily, please be patient. ]
Fortunately, this time it is not a BUG, and a clear repair time is given, so the players are not too anxious. Only a few small players who have drawn the "Sickle" are clamoring for compensation on the forum.
However, not many people pay attention to them.
After all, the probability of winning determines that most people are non-Africans, and only a few are European emperors.
European emperors still want compensation?
Take my non-African spear!
…
The next day, early in the morning.
A long-unseen crowd of players gathered in the square of the outpost.
As usual, after coming out from underground, many players would stay here for a while to see if they could form a team or find a big boss to lead them.
It was so lively!
The Elf King Fugui, carrying a hunting bow, walked to the front of the crowd and shouted at the top of his voice.
"Is there anyone taking the 7 o'clock bus to Changjiu Farm? Agility players are looking for a group to do the hunting mission in the Elm District! If you are interested, please send a private message."
Irena: "Huh? Lao Wang? Are you not going to play the dungeon with Brother Mole?"
Elf King Fugui: "I'm not going today. The Greenhouse Ruins are too busy. There are thousands of moths. I just want to be a hunter and fish quietly. Old monk, do you want to join us?"
Irena: "I don't know that person. Go find your old monk."
Elf King Fugui grabbed his arm with a smile.
"Old monk, don't go! Let's go together!"
"Go away! I don't know you!"
The two walked towards the north gate.
The players who heard the conversation between the two whispered to each other.
"I heard that a group of mutant snow wolves seemed to have spawned in the Elm District recently?"
"More than snow wolves! I even saw cracked claw crabs near the nuclear bomb crater!"
"Fuck?! Then I have to stay away."
"By the way, how much is the snow wolf skin?"
"The NPC store is 1 silver coin more expensive than the hyena skin, but it doesn't matter! The rattan hut buys a lot of them, and each skin is 4 silver coins. The fur is as white as snow, double the price. Brothers, hurry up!"
"Me, me, me, take me with you!"
A hyena skin is only 1 silver coin, and someone is actually offering 4 silver coins for a snow wolf skin. This is even more expensive than the previous deer skin!
Hearing that the rich woman Teng Teng was in need, the sensible little player had already changed into hunting clothes at the speed of light, carrying a hunting bow and hunting rifle.
Tail glanced at Sisi.
"Si! You know!"
Sisi sighed.
"Today is the Snow Wolf, right? Wait for me to go back and change clothes--"
"Snow Wolf? That kind of weak creature is not worth Tail's effort!" With a tut, Tail took off the Iron Fist rocket launcher on his back and carried it on his shoulder, saying proudly, "Hehe, look at what I drew yesterday?"
Sisi: "Wait... Don't tell me you want to find a cracked claw crab."
Tail's eyes sparkled and he gave a thumbs up: "Tail gave you a thumbs up!"
Sisi: "???"
The team heading to the Elm District was getting bigger and bigger, and even a big white bear came over and raised its fat right claw.
Yaya decided to follow the big team and go there to join in the fun.
But it was not for hunting, but because she had almost picked all the mushrooms near Linghu Wetland Park.
In this game, mushrooms don't seem to refresh every day, so you can only try your luck in the new map.
In addition to those who do hunting and gathering tasks, there are also some small players who go for exploration tasks. There are many types of tasks in Wasteland OL, from delivering couriers to moving bricks, from picking up garbage to running errands, even if you don't fight at all, you can get silver coins and contribution points as rewards.
"Explore the edge of Tianshui City... Find a new survivor base," looking at the task bar on the VM, [Quanshui Commander] wearing an exoskeleton rubbed his chin with his index finger, his eyes full of interest, "This task sounds interesting."
Although he is an intelligence system, he has an exoskeleton, so it's not a big problem!
Find a perception system player to be the front row later, even if he is a newbie, anyway, even if he can't win, he will definitely be able to get it.
Thinking of this, Quanshui immediately walked towards the direction of the weapon store, intending to use the 200 silver coins he had saved with great difficulty to buy a handy weapon.
It's best to have an automatic rifle.
After all, that small water pipe with a capacity of six rounds is too incompatible with his awesome exoskeleton.
However, what Quanshui didn't expect was that when he walked to the door of the weapon shop, he found a crowd of people.
There were no fewer people here than in the square.
After a closer look, he found that it was an auction?
And the item being auctioned was the administrator's armor!
"... What is being auctioned now is the KV-1 improved exoskeleton armor that the administrator used. Although there are some scratches on the surface, it does not affect its performance, but rather shows its reliability. The administrator said that he can't use it, but it is far from retirement. He hopes that it can play its remaining heat for the great cause and help other people in need, so let me find a good home for it."
"Starting price - 200 silver coins!"
Boss Xia read directly from the manuscript.
After reading, she picked up the small gavel beside her and hammered it on the table in a formal manner.
Xia Yan had just learned pinyin recently, so Chu Guang simply asked her to host the auction, on the grounds that she could practice speaking.
Although the pronunciation was intermittent and lacked a bit of momentum, the players didn't care.
Who cares whether Boss Xia is holding a small wrench or a small whip?
They only care about the awesome armor of the manager!
As soon as the gavel fell, someone immediately raised his hand and directly raised the price by 100 silver coins, skipping the small score chase and bringing the competition to a white-hot level.
Edge paddling: "400!"
Canyon escape mole: "I'll give 410!"
WC really has mosquitoes: "I'll add another 50!"
Canyon escape mole: "Fuck! When did you ever use the equipment you bought!"
Edge paddling: "That's right! I've hoarded them all! What use is there!"
Macaba: "Take this troublesome mosquito out!" (broken voice)
WC really has mosquitoes: "Nonsense! What do you mean by hoarding? I'm going to start leveling soon, okay! And why are you joining in the fun, you can't afford it!"
Macaba: "You're the fucking old man!"
Fountain Water was dumbfounded outside the crowd.
How can these guys be so rich?
Just take 300 yuan!
The auction site was noisy.
The poor players couldn't afford it anyway, so they all gathered around happily to make a fuss, watch the fun, and eat melons.
Xia Yan yawned and just thought they were noisy.
What was so good about this armor that it cost as much as her monthly basic salary.
Isn't it just a KV-1 welded with a few pieces of steel?
Although she couldn't afford it, she saw with her own eyes last night that Chu Guang was gesturing with a dagger on it, and he confidently said that his "players" liked this one, and he also said that every scar was a medal?
Only a fool would believe his lies.
After knocking the gavel for the second time, just when Boss Xia thought it was time to call it a day, a hand suddenly raised up.
"Five hundred!"
Wow!
The players around were surprised and their eyes widened.
Five hundred silver coins!
Who the hell is so rich? !
Everyone looked over there, and sure enough, the person who raised his hand was Fang Chang from the Cattle Squad.
Just as he was about to add 1 silver coin to disgust the mosquitoes, Brother Mole took back his hand that had just been raised halfway. When he saw that it was Fang Chang, he immediately got angry and complained with a face full of grief and anger.
"Fuck! Didn't you say you wouldn't fight with me?"
Edge paddling: "What use is there for a bowman like you to have this heavy armor!"
Macabab: "Carry it out! Carry it out!"
Fang Chang smiled embarrassedly and said to Brother Mole.
"Sorry, brother, I didn't buy this heavy armor for myself. We pooled our money to buy it for the tank in the team. Next time I get something good... I will definitely not compete with you!"
Canyon Fleeing Mole: "I don't trust you!"
Macabazi gloated and fanned the flames: "Hahaha! Brother Fang Chang is awesome! Mole's hair has been plucked out! Hahaha!"
Canyon Fleeing Mole: "%￥#@!"
Lao Bai cupped his hands and said politely: "I'm sorry, brother! We will definitely return this favor to you next time!"
Mole sighed and shook his head.
"Well, you guys raise your sign earlier next time, and I won't waste my expression."
Seeing Fang Chang raise his sign, Mosquito also stopped.
He could still add, but there was no need.
They are all in the same herd of cattle and horses, what are they fighting for?
Besides, he couldn't get it...
Watching Old White put on the same armor as the administrator on the spot, Quanshui, who was watching next to him, suddenly felt that his orange exoskeleton was not so good at all.
How could the "mass-selling model" that can be bought in the weapon store be as strong as the "ancient heritage" that has experienced the test of war.
Those scratches are like medals of honor...
Quanshui was stunned by it, and he didn't come back to his senses even after everyone around him had left.
At this moment, someone next to him pulled his arm.
"Brother? Are you offline, brother?"
Looking back, it was Mosquito.
Quanshui immediately became alert and pulled his arm back.
"What for?"
Mosquito said with a grin.
"No...what for, I just want to ask, are you interested in installing the same armor as the administrator? I can help you modify it!"
Quanshui swallowed his saliva.
"How much?"
"Not expensive, not expensive, just the cost price, 200 silver coins!"
This is not expensive!
But...
Gritting his teeth, Quanshui finally showed the VM and prepared to pay.
"200, right? Are you sure it's the same as that one?"
Mosquito patted his chest and guaranteed.
"Of course! Can I lie to you? I can make that thing in minutes - well, of course it takes me some time to make it. But don't worry, if you are not satisfied, Goblin Technology will refund you in full!"
Quanshui: "..."
I always feel like I have found the wrong person.
But it shouldn't be a big problem.
Anyway, Brother Mosquito said that if the goods are not the same as the ones in the picture, you can return them. Anyway, let's try the effect first...
...
Before eight o'clock, the morning mist gradually dissipated.
Most of the little players in the outpost also dispersed, and they all went out to do their own things.
With the end of the "Land Boat" expansion pack, everything seems to be back on track.
The fisherman carried his fishing rod to the lake, and the tree-chopping man killed chickens with a group of newbies to chop trees happily.
Most of the hunting players went to the new hunting ground further north, and the scavengers carried woven bags to the "90% new" Street 76.
The mutant tribe had just been dealt with, and a large area was vacant. The high-rise residential buildings and shops along the street were simply a treasure trove in the eyes of the garbage-picking players!
During the years occupied by mutants, there should be few wastelanders who dared to go in and search, and it is estimated that they could pick up a lot of good things.
As for the high-level players, they aimed at more challenging targets.
Old White, who changed into pseudo-powered armor, equipped himself with a long-handled axe with a spearhead, and bought a steel helmet from the No. 81 Steel Plant.
Fully armed, he looked more like a tin can than the manager.
As long as you cooperate well with your teammates, pay attention to your position, draw the line of fire and block the smoke, it is no problem to deal with a few devil moths!
After the group was ready, they moved towards the entrance of Street 76 with high morale, ready to continue to fight the devil moths on the underground floor of the greenhouse ruins.
Brother Mole originally planned to go to the greenhouse ruins. In the last version, he and his teammates raised funds and bought the exploration rights of the second floor from the Cow and Horse Squad.
But just then, he suddenly received a task issued by the manager himself - to attack the subway entrance 1.2 kilometers away from Brown Farm!
According to the task description, the entrance to Shelter No. 117 is hidden in the subway.
As long as you can find it and clear the alien species from the subway entrance to the shelter gate, you can get a reward of 1,200 silver coins and trigger the next stage of the plot.
Of course, this task is not easy.
It is expected that there will be at least four crawlers and more than 200 gnawers. It is recommended to form a team with at least 4 to 6 players above LV6, and it is strongly recommended to bring a perception player to serve as a scout.
1200 silver coins reward!
When Mole heard this number, his eyes turned into the shape of silver coins.
Without saying a word, he immediately took the "Black Swan" G9 assault rifle he had just drawn, and pulled Mosquito, who was squatting in the workshop and was about to work, to discuss important matters together.
Makabazi was originally going to join in the fun, but at this moment, he suddenly received a task from the manager.
When he came to the first floor of the sanatorium, he met the manager waiting there.
Although he always looked like a fun person, when facing an NPC with a favorable impression setting, Makabazi immediately changed his expression to "reliable" and said respectfully.
"Manager, are you looking for me?"
Chu Guang nodded and picked up a bag of corn seeds from the side.
These seeds are improved early-maturing seeds that he bought from the Pioneer. Although the yield is not amazing, it has a short growth cycle and is not so strict on climate. If the fertilizer is applied properly, it can mature in 70 to 90 days.
This bag of seeds weighs about five kilograms. It should be no problem to plant two or three acres. At least 600 kilograms of corn can be produced, and if optimistic, it may reach 900 kilograms.
"The first floor of the greenhouse ruins has been conquered, and the culture tanks there can be used. I happen to have some seeds here, and I need you to plant them for me."
"This task is related to the food security of the shelter and is crucial to our future development. I hope you can take it seriously."
"If the germination rate is good, I will arrange more important tasks for you. You can regard these seeds as a test."
When he heard that there was land to be planted, and there were follow-up tasks after planting, Makabazi's eyes lit up and he nodded without saying a word.
"Leave it to me, sir, I will regard these seeds as my life!"
Chu Guang smiled in his heart, but his face was still solemn.
"Well, then I'll leave it to you!"
[Task: sow corn and take care of the crops. ]
Seeing the task updated on the VM, Makabazi straightened his back excitedly.
"I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
