Everyone will die one day, some heavier than Mount Tai, some lighter than a feather.
If it were in reality, Lao Bai felt that he would hesitate for a long time before making such a decision, after all, it meant that there were too many things to give up.
But fortunately, this is a game world.
And in games, you can die many times.
Without even a second of hesitation, his body had already made a choice
"Run!"
While roaring out this word, Lao Bai raised the sickle assault rifle in his hand and pulled the trigger at the Death Claw that was looking at the wind.
Da Da Da!
The muzzle spewed out flames, and the bullets whizzed across the green vegetation and rushed towards the monster.
Blood splattered on the black scales, and the Death Claw let out a painful roar.
With strong and powerful feet, it dodged the bullets from the side and rushed towards Lao Bai, swinging its claws swiftly.
Old Bai was not panicked at all. He adjusted the output power of the exoskeleton to the maximum. His seemingly bulky body was like a rabbit, flexibly dodging the fatal blow that was whistling at him, and hiding in the dense forest behind him around the palm tree trunk as thick as a thigh.
But the immobile palm tree was not so lucky.
It was torn into pieces as if it had been hit by a bulldozer.
Seeing that the prey had avoided the fatal blow, the death claw let out an angry roar, and his amber pupils narrowed dangerously. Without hesitation for half a second, he immediately locked the direction of the prey's escape and chased it swiftly.
Looking at Old Bai who was dodging in the opposite direction from himself and others, Fang Chang was suddenly startled. Before he had time to ask Old Bai what he was going to do, he heard Old Bai's roar at the top of his voice.
"You go to the elevator! Don't worry about me!"
Ye Shi said in shock.
"What the hell? What do you want to do, Lao Bai?"
"Do something big!"
Kuangfeng's right hand, Fang Chang's bow, and the sniper that Ye Shi seized from the mercenaries in Boulder City. Although the exoskeleton on his body is not cheap, he can still rely on his strength talent to output without the exoskeleton, but they can't.
Lao Bai never thought that he could survive to the end. How could a mm not die once?
Since he stood in the front row, he was ready to sacrifice his life for his teammates.
"Speaking of which, I haven't died once in this game."
I don't know what it feels like to die in the game.
Listening to those people on the forum, it seems to be a matter of closing your eyes and opening them again
"Roar!"
The roar from behind made Lao Bai dare not be distracted, and all his attention was focused on running.
However, the helpless thing is that the Death Claw's movements are too flexible!
If he is like a rabbit that gets into the woods, that guy is just like a rampaging Gundam, and ordinary vegetation can't stop it at all.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and before Lao Bai could react, there was a dull sound on his back, which made him stagger forward with his exoskeleton and almost fall to the ground.
The tooth-grinding friction sound made his heart rise to his throat, but fortunately, the adaptive gait of the exoskeleton allowed him to stabilize his body and not fall.
Feeling the wind leaking from his back, Lao Bai didn't dare to look back, and continued to run forward with all his strength.
This claw directly penetrated three cracks in the steel plate behind him!
Fortunately, there was a steel plate to block it!
Otherwise, he would have been dead just now!
Seeing that he couldn't support Lao Bai, Fang Chang gritted his teeth, raised the mechanical compound bow in his hand, held the bowstring to accumulate power, and let go and shot an arrow at the light source on the ceiling.
The front end of the arrow pierced into the ceiling fiercely, the firing pin was triggered, and the charge exploded!
Crash
Transparent polymer fragments and electric sparks fell from the ceiling, and the light in the ecological park dimmed instantly.
The light in the rainforest was even dimmer.
The Death Claw, which was charging forward, paused obviously, and its amber pupils shrank into a slit, focusing and quickly adapting to the suddenly darkened environment.
Although it was only a momentary pause, it was enough to buy time for Old White to break through the edge of the rainforest and rush in front of the group of predators, and his shoulder directly knocked away the unlucky guy closest to him.
Facing this humanoid "tank" that suddenly rushed out of the forest, the predators around screamed and raised the muzzles of their guns.
"Stop him!"
The muzzle flames sprayed, and the bullets flew like raindrops. The unlucky guy who was hit by Old White was the first to be shot into a sieve by his teammates.
Then, the bullets rushed towards Old White.
At the extreme distance, the steel plate that had suffered excessive damage was pitted, the welding joints broke, and it collapsed from the exoskeleton.
However
It didn't matter anymore.
Hearing the running sound getting closer and closer behind him, Lao Bai finally felt relieved and pulled out the short axe hanging on his waist. The corners of his mouth, which were oozing blood, opened a little arc.
Come on.
Fight to your heart's content!
"Boundary"
"Breakthrough!"
On the other side of the jungle
"We have to save him!"
Fang Chang grabbed Ye Shi and stared at him and shook his head.
"It's too late."
Kuangfeng also looked at Ye Shi and said calmly.
"Staying here will only make Lao Bai's efforts in vain... Let's go."
Listening to the gunshots, there are at least a dozen or twenty people, and there are quite a few automatic weapons. If there are bunkers around to pull, they can still fight.
In this kind of plain rainforest terrain, even a reliable bunker cannot be found. The advantage is undoubtedly on the side with more people.
It just so happens that Lao Bai has reached level 10 and has been reluctant to upgrade his equipment. Later, everyone pooled their money to buy him a brand new Miner I.
The three rushed into the elevator, and Fang Chang punched the up button.
The elevator slowly rose.
Lao Bai's figure was no longer visible at the entrance of the passage. The Death Claws that were fighting with the predators were like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Wherever their claws passed, there was a bloody storm.
However, those predators did not seem to be vegetarians.
Standing in front of the French window, Ye Shi saw that a predator standing near the safe passage, carrying a tubular launcher, pulled the trigger at the Death Claw.
Three rockets were fired at the same time from three different angles, and the orange-yellow tail flames drew three straight and interlaced trajectories in the air.
Two of them were deflected and brushed the Death Claw's tail into the bushes, while the other successfully hit the Death Claw's left shoulder, and the explosion of flames and fragments blew it to pieces.
"Roar!"
With a roar of pain, Deathclaw staggered and turned around and ran into the woods. At the same time, the fire protection system on the top of the ecological park was triggered, and it started raining in the rainforest.
The predators did not dare to chase, and grabbed their companions who were still alive on the ground, firing at the dimly lit jungle while retreating towards the safe passage.
Staring at the flames outside the French window, Ye Shi couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Monster..."
The flesh body took a bullet!
It's really outrageous!
At this time, the predator leader who had retreated to the entrance of the safe passage suddenly raised his head and squinted his eyes to see the elevator rising.
Even though the light was dim, he still saw the three people in the elevator.
He shouted at his companions in the back row, and while directing his teammates to run out, he fired a burst of bullets at the elevator.
The whizzing bullets hit the floor-to-ceiling windows of the elevator with a clang, startling Ye Shi who was standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Fortunately, the elevator was strong enough, and the bullets only left a series of spider-web-like fine lines on the floor-to-ceiling windows, but did not penetrate.
The elevator arrived at the station.
Without waiting for the door to open completely, the three people immediately escaped from the elevator, ran north along the corridor, made a big circle, and left the wall from the back of Building 3.
Only then did they realize that there were more than forty or fifty people standing at the main entrance of Building 3!
In the open space not far away, there were two trucks unloading goods. Several predators led mutant hyenas into the building to support their accomplices on the front line.
The three climbed over the half-collapsed wall, stuck to the wall of the experimental base, and went around to the west side of Building 3, observing from a distance of about 500 meters.
Fang Chang: "Fuck, there must be half a company."
Ye Shi couldn't help cursing: "Damn, where did this bunch of damn predators come from? Are they here to steal fuel rods too?!"
"I thought so at first, but it's hard to say now," Fang Chang hid behind the broken concrete wall, frowned, bit his thumb and thought for a moment, "They obviously plan to camp here... Look at those two trucks, do you think they look familiar?"
Ye Shi squinted and was shocked.
"The same model as the Legion? What the hell? Are they from the Legion?!"
"Chew bones," Kuang Feng, who had not spoken, suddenly said a word from his mouth, "Remember what was mentioned in the alpha 0.9 version update... Due to the defeat of the Legion, a huge predator force is rising in the central region of the River Valley Province. Now it seems that they should have taken over some of the Legion's equipment."
A group of predators came to Changjiu Farm before. The leader seemed to be Tu, and now he is repairing the road with the centurions and accepting labor transformation. The weapons they used, and even the coats they wore, were the same as the Legion's.
Even those guerrillas could get the Legion's equipment...
Presumably, these organized looters could get even more weapons from the Legion.
The expressions on Ye Shi and Fang Chang's faces also became serious.
Fang Chang immediately made a judgment.
"We have to report the situation here to the administrator as soon as possible!"
"Yeah," Kuang Feng nodded, "I think so too."
Lao Bai should have been offline by now.
After I go back, I'll go offline and accompany him on the official website.
...
To be honest, Lao Bai himself felt that he would definitely die if he rushed into the looter's face. After all, the exoskeleton is not a power armor, and it is still the basic KV1 model. Although the steel plate can be bulletproof, it can't withstand the metal fatigue caused by continuous shooting and volleys from multiple angles.
The kind of "rogue warriors" in the battlefield can only appear in the battlefield.
After slashing down three predators in a row and injuring four or five, he was shot twice in the stomach and finally fell down with his eyes black.
However, what surprised Lao Bai was that when he put on his helmet again, he found that his character was not dead?
Lao Bai looked around and found that he was lying in a room.
This was no longer the ecological park underground, but a room in the No. 3 experimental building on the surface.
His wounds were simply bandaged, the VM and equipment were taken away, and handcuffs were hung on his wrists and ankles, restricting his movements.
Lao Bai tried and found that he couldn't break free. Seeing that the blood on the bandage showed signs of expanding, he quickly stopped his reckless behavior.
Although he was ready to die heroically, before that, he wanted to figure out what his current situation was.
At this time, the door of the room opened.
A man with tanned skin and tattoos on his face walked in from outside.
Lao Bai looked at him. He was wearing a very torn fur coat, with holes in his pants and a bunch of strange accessories hanging around his neck, including teeth and stones. He looked quite punk.
Behind him was a strong man with lip studs, who should be a bodyguard. If the iron pipe submachine gun wrapped with tape in his hand was replaced with a guitar or bass, he might be mistaken for a heavy metal band when walking on the street...
The man with tattoos on his face walked up to him. Just when Lao Bai was wondering what this guy wanted to do, he saw that the man suddenly squatted down, staring at him intently, and his eagle-like nose came close, almost poking his face.
Lao Bai felt a chill in his heart.
Fuck.
No way?
Although the residents of the shelter were indeed a little delicate, it was not so bad that even the men...
"Are you the survivors of Qingquan City?"
Lao Bai did not understand what he was saying, and did not want to know, so he put on an expression of dying rather than surrendering.
The man seemed to understand the expression on his face, smiled mockingly, and stood up.
"My name is Ka."
"You are strong and brave, and you are a strong man."
"A warrior like you should have a status and wealth worthy of you, instead of being a cowardly excrement of a different species."
"Will you join us and enjoy all the glory and wealth, or become a lowly slave and be sold to work in the mine until you die?"
"I will give you time to think about it."
Throwing down these words, the man turned and left.
Until the end, Lao Bai did not understand what he wanted to express, and only heard a string of bird calls.
Facing the empty room, Lao Bai fell silent.
By the way...
What is my current status?
Hostage?
Prisoner?
Damn!
Is he dead or not?
...
Shelter 404 B3.
Chu Guang, standing in the planting area, looked at the bean sprout-sized green dots in the soilless planting unit, and a smile like an old father appeared on his face.
The cabbage sprouted very quickly, and it had sprouted only three days after being planted.
The leeks next to it will have to wait for a while, and it will take about a week to sprout.
These leafy vegetables are crops used to improve food, and the real good stuff is in the rows of planting units next to them.
When the next spring comes, the corn, rice, wheat and sorghum crops planted there will be ripe. He plans to keep all the first batch of output as seeds.
Not just the greenhouse ruins.
Chu Guang plans to use all the land from the north of Linghu to the south of Yumu District.
With a land of ten kilometers in length and width, as long as there are enough refugees, it is no problem to cultivate tens of thousands of acres of good land. If the situation is optimistic, perhaps 20,000 acres can be cultivated in the first year.
If the efficiency is not enough, we have to make up for it with quantity.
No matter how efficient the theoretical planting area of 50 acres in the shelter is, one acre can only support five people, not even a thousand people. No matter how inefficient traditional farming is, even if one acre can only support 12 people, it is still food for tens of thousands of people.
Compared with the cultivation chamber, food is the basis for explosive troops.
You can't really feed the players with rotten meat and cockroaches, right?
This is too hardcore.
Just when Chu Guang was admiring his cabbage, Xiao Qi's voice suddenly came from the loudspeaker in the planting area.
"Master."
Chu Guang replied casually.
"What's wrong?"
"Your players seem to be in trouble!"
"It's okay if they encounter it, just take it as a lesson. Don't worry, my players are very smart, they will solve the troubles they encounter by themselves."
Chu Guang didn't panic at all when he heard Xiao Qi's voice, and even comforted it.
After unlocking the B3 floor, there are more and more players in the shelter, and Chu Guang can no longer take care of so many people.
Before, there were few people and many lives, and it would be painful for a long time if one died. Now there is a shortage of food, electricity, mines, and production capacity, but there is no shortage of people and resurrection coins.
He only needs to make good rules and let the players toss within the rules. He can't handle the troubles of one or two players and he is too lazy to care.
How can a tyrant serve his son for a lifetime?
The fun of this game lies in exploration. Players are requested to find ways to improve NPC favorability and trigger hidden tasks by themselves.
Xiao Qi: "But, but, the one who got into trouble was the Niu Ma Squad you sent to the Northeast Ecological Park to find fuel rods... Do you really not need to worry about it?"
"What the hell?! Niu Ma Squad?"
Chu Guang, who was choked, coughed twice and quickly opened the system interface, but found that the clones were still alive.
Only Lao Bai was offline, but he was not in danger of life.
Relieved, Chu Guang continued to ask.
"What trouble did they get into?"
Although he didn't want to worry about the players' troubles, the problem was that the Niu Ma Squad was doing the fuel rod mission.
Even if he didn't want to care about the players, Chu Guang had to care about his own fuel rods.
Xiao Qi continued.
"The player named Bai Ju Guo Xi seems to have been captured by the predators, and the other three people just escaped from the predators' encirclement and are now on the truck on the way back."
Lao Bai was captured by the predators? ? ?
Chu Guang was a little confused.
Wait, what's the situation with the predators.
"Aren't they looking for fuel rods? How did they get entangled with the predators?"
Xiao Qi continued in a low voice.
"That's true, but when they were looking for the reactor in the ecological laboratory of Zhongzhou Aerospace, they encountered a group of predators with more than 50 people and an unknown number. It is said that they also encountered a death claw. The specific situation is very complicated, master, why don't you go to the official website to take a look for yourself."
There was a problem with the key project, Chu Guang did not hesitate, and immediately rushed back to the B1 floor and returned to his office without saying a word.
Turn on the computer.
Log in to the official website.
Without much effort, Chu Guang quickly found Lao Bai's post on the homepage of the forum.
The title of the post also went straight to the point, summarizing his current situation in one sentence
I seem to have been captured by the predators? ?
In the post.
At the beginning, Lao Bai briefly described the tasks he and his three teammates did in the ecological laboratory, as well as a series of events that happened.
Including the tropical rainforest in the ecological park, including the sudden death claws, including the sudden raiders that came in, and the fact that he was seriously injured and captured by the raiders while trying to cover his teammates' retreat...
"These raiders are a little different from the ones we encountered before. Although their equipment is uneven, they are not as bad as they seem. They not only have automatic weapons, but also anti-armor weapons such as rocket launchers! I saw one of them looked a bit like the Iron Fist of the Legion, and two of them looked like iron pipes, and they looked powerful."
"Another one is the death claw. To be honest, this monster is too unbalanced! The big lizard that is taller than two people when standing up is outrageous, and it runs so fast that even steel plates can't stop it with one claw!"
"We are so unlucky that we are caught between that beast and the predators! I tried my best and even destroyed my exoskeleton, but I finally managed to bring the Death Claw to the predators' faces."
"Then there was a melee. I found that the talents unlocked in the second stage are really awesome, and the actual effect is even stronger than what is shown on the panel data. It's hard to describe it specifically, you will know when you reach lv10."
Not long after the post was published, the number of replies exceeded 100.
However, since the players are basically online at this time, most of the posts are cloud players who have clicked on the appointment but have not yet made an appointment.
Although these players have never entered the game, they still have a certain understanding of the basic gameplay and settings of the game by listening to the discussions in the forum and combining the information updated in the official website.
And many new players are selected from them.
Professor Yang, the King of Lightning: "Captured by the plunderer???"
Zhimo Buganna: "I'm not right, why did a few g plots suddenly appear in my head."
Riding a donkey to go to the market: "Fuck, you old dirty turtles!"
Lao Bai: "Get out! I'm talking seriously, what are you thinking about. Angry"
4Who8Knows: "Speaking of which, listening to your description of the Death Claw, I feel that it is exactly the same as that Garbage Jun..."
Lao Bai: "Damn, when you say that, I also think it's a bit similar. Will Garbage Jun really become a Death Claw when he reaches level 99?"
Yirena: "It's a pity that Garbage Jun is killing like crazy in the tunnel, otherwise I might meet him on the forum at this point. Funny"
Lao Bai: "Huh? Why aren't you online, old monk?"
Yirena: "Hey, it's not convenient to talk about it in detail. I'll be back later."
Lao Bai: "666"
Elf King Fugui: "If you don't understand, just ask. Why do you make flying so mysterious? If I hadn't seen your circle of friends, I would have thought you were going to reward yourself later. Funny"
Irena: "Go away. Д′9"
At this time.
Suddenly someone said something.
Professor Yang, the King of Lightning: "Speaking of which, if this kind of elite monster is killed first, is there a chance to report it to the whole server?"
The post was silent for a few seconds.
Suddenly several submarines exploded.
"Fuck!"
"Fuck?"
"I skipped the night shift and logged in!"
