[Announcement for the whole server: Congratulations to the player "A fleeting shadow" for completing the first kill of the Deathclaw! ]
[Since the player chose to make it public, this achievement will be included in the Hall of Fame. ]
Zhongzhou Space Experimental Base.
The players who were cleaning the battlefield received these two messages from the VM almost at the same time.
They were also confused almost at the same time.
"Fuck?"
"Old White???"
"Damn, wasn't this guy captured?"
"What's the situation with this hostage? It's fine if he ran out by himself, but why did he get the first kill?"
"Bad review! Strongly request the planner to change the extras next time!"
"Wow, my first kill."
500 meters away from the experimental base.
The roof of the double-layered wild.
Looking at the VM on his arm, Ye Shi's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.
"Fuck, Old White is good!"
It's fine if he killed it by himself, but he also killed a Deathclaw!
Ye Shi couldn't figure out how Lao Bai defeated the monster that was more than four meters tall and whose claws were almost as long as a leg.
"It's probably the one we encountered this morning. I remember that the dead claw seemed to have been severely damaged by the predator with a rocket launcher before we came out." Fang Chang tried to analyze.
"That's too outrageous!" Ye Shiyi sighed, "Hey, they say that the strength system is in the early sequence, and this early sequence is too long, right?"
The distance of the battle is getting longer and longer, and the perception system is almost useless!
If the neural connection equipment is not popularized, the intelligence system will be exhausted!
The presence of the physique and agility systems has never been strong, and the second place is taken turns.
Only the strength system is strong from 0.1 to 0.9, and it upgrades quickly and fights fiercely. Even if it is moving bricks, one trip is more than two trips of others.
Is there any justice in this?
If Lao Bai wasn't one of us, Ye Shi would probably be the same as the sour-minded people on the forum, shouting for a cut.
"Well, maybe the level before level 10 is considered the early stage?" Fang Chang's expression was also a little subtle.
It's really embarrassing to talk about this.
Every time the version is updated, he predicts that the intelligence game will rise, but the prediction has changed from version 0.5 to 0.9. The whole sequence seems to have been forgotten by the game developer.
Where are the implants?
Where are the neural connection devices?
The strength system is going crazy!
Sure enough, muscles are the theme of this game!
"Hey, let Lao Bai send a red envelope after we go offline!"
Fang Chang nodded.
"Of course, he must send a big one!"
Ye Shi said impatiently.
"By the way, how long do we have to wait here? Can I beat the mutant hyena squatting in the corner? I've seen it baring its teeth for a long time."
Fang Chang glanced at the VM.
"I haven't received any new tasks yet, but judging from the green dots on the map, our people have completely controlled the battlefield... Let's wait a little longer."
Anyway, the equipment that exploded in the group battle belongs to the group, so let them go to clean up the battlefield.
It's not bad to fish here for a while.
However, just when Fang Chang was thinking about this, he and Ye Shi's VM received a new task at the same time.
To be precise, not only the two of them, but also Kuang Feng, who was responsible for watching their anus, received the task at the same time.
[Task: Go to the target area to establish a reconnaissance point]
[Reward: 50 war points]
"What's going on, is this battle not over yet?" Ye Shiyi was confused and looked at Fang Chang involuntarily.
He would do this every time he couldn't figure out the situation.
However, this time, Fang Chang was also a little confused.
"Don't look at me, I'm not A Guang. After a rational analysis, this battle should be over... but I'm not sure if there will be another one."
Who knows?
Maybe A Guang has been working overtime recently and has no time to take care of them. It is not impossible for other planners to target them when they see that they are developing too fast.
Isn't there another planner named "Xiao Qi"?
However, Fang Chang is more inclined to believe what A Guang said. The plot and tasks in the game are completely dynamically generated by the server AI. Just like the setting of the old M-mo RPG online game novels, planners generally do not interfere with the game process.
As for not interfering at all, that is unlikely. Just like the so-called "100% true", this kind of nonsense is only put in advertisements. No one will really believe it, right?
Fang Chang switched to the map, slid his index finger on the VM screen, and quickly found the task mark.
It seems to be an amusement park, located about 10 kilometers north of the Zhongzhou Aerospace Ecological Experimental Base. Not to mention the question of whether it is far or not, the location is almost in the southern suburbs of Tianshui City!
It is an unexplored area, and no one has ever been so far away from the resurrection point.
"Can I save the game first? I killed two anyway." Obviously Ye Shi also noticed the location of the mission beacon on the map, with a look of wanting to cry but not being able to.
"It's probably impossible to save it. We are at least 16 kilometers away from the resurrection point, and it's more than 30 kilometers to go back and forth..."
Fang Chang's Adam's apple moved, swallowed his saliva and continued.
"Anyway, let's meet up with Lao Bai first."
...
At the same time, the outpost base 16 kilometers away from the front line.
With Liu Jiuyue and three bodyguards, Brown, wearing a coat, hurried here from the farm in the wind and snow.
"I am the owner of Brown Farm. I came here to discuss the countermeasures of the Bone Chewing Tribe's invasion of the northern suburbs of Qingquan City. Here is my invitation... Why are you here too?"
When Brown saw the people surrounding the south gate of the outpost base, he was stunned.
The people standing here were not others.
It was the people he had driven away from his living room before!
"What a coincidence."
Looking at Brown, the scarred man crossed his arms over his chest, whistled at him, and continued in a teasing tone.
"I didn't expect that although our old landlord said that the blue coat was unreliable, his body was surprisingly honest."
"Is this all you can say?"
A trace of annoyance flashed across Brown's face.
Liu Jiuyue, who was standing behind him, took a half step forward, staring at the scarred man with a gloomy face, his hands already on his waist.
Not taking the man's actions to heart at all, the scarred man looked at him leisurely, his eyes slightly narrowed.
The atmosphere at the scene gradually became tense.
The two guards standing at the door had already set their sights on the people in the confrontation, ready to physically persuade them at any time.
At this moment, Brown suddenly caught a glimpse of an old man walking out of the south gate.
The old man looked familiar, but Brown couldn't remember where he had seen this face for a while.
Strange.
I can't remember it at all!
Just as Brown was distracted, a middle-aged man wearing a hunter's hat stepped forward and nodded slightly to the old man standing at the door.
"I am Du Conglin from the Morning Wind Community. Please allow me to meet your manager. I have something important to discuss with him!"
The scarred man also stood up.
"Night Owl, from Highway Town, I also want to meet your manager for the matter of the Bone Chewing Tribe."
Fearing that he would be left behind, the man with a head as round as his belly also stepped forward and said.
"Red Train Station, Doru... Please help us for the sake of us being survivors in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City."
Others also said similar words, looking at Old Luca with desire in their eyes.
Brown, who was excluded from the outside, and Liu Jiuyue and a group of guards following behind him, were all confused at the moment.
Who was invited?
Old Luca didn't favor anyone.
Although there were more than ten people than originally planned, he still received them as the master's butler according to the instructions of the manager.
"The manager has been out of the courtyard and will be back later. If you are willing to wait for him for a while, please follow me in."
As he finished speaking, Old Luca looked across the crowd and glanced at the farmer Brown in the back row.
His expression did not change at all, and he said in a businesslike manner.
"You are Mr. Brown, please come in too."
"Okay."
Brown nodded quickly and walked into the outpost with the other survivors.
On the way to the reception room.
Brown had been wondering in his heart where he had seen this face. Finally, he couldn't help but wink at Liu Jiuyue, motioning him to come closer, and whispered to him in a low voice.
"Is that the manager's housekeeper? Or someone else... I feel like he looks familiar."
Liu Jiuyue smiled bitterly in his heart. Of course, he knew why Mr. Brown looked familiar, but he was afraid of being blamed, so he had to play dumb.
"I don't know, sir. The last time I came here to deliver a message for you, it was the first time I saw him... Maybe I recognized the wrong person?"
Although he was suspicious of this sentence, Brown really couldn't remember where he had seen him, so he didn't ask any more questions and just said casually.
"Maybe."
...
The group came to the reception room.
The environment here is very simple. The most expensive things are probably the bear skin on the ground and the radio on the wooden table next to it.
Brown recognized the radio.
He had been to the old mayor's house on Bet Street as a guest, and the covenant of joint defense was even signed in the old mayor's study.
Brown still remembers that the radio was playing the article about the planting skills of the Kamm tree in the "Get Rich Sutra" of the Voice of Boulder City.
It was precisely because of this that Brown felt a little uneasy.
Although he sent a batch of food here in time, no one could guarantee that the lord here would not suddenly remember this and use it as an excuse to blackmail him.
It is a good thing to be able to buy peace with money.
But the problem is that he really can't squeeze out at all.
Waiting for everyone to sit down.
Looking at the survivors in the reception room, Old Luca spoke.
"We didn't expect so many guests to come. The conditions here are a bit shabby. Please overcome them."
Du Conglin from Morning Breeze Community shook his head and said politely.
"No, it's us who disturbed you."
Although the environment in the reception room was a bit plain, no one doubted the strength of these blue jackets.
On the way here just now, Ye Xiao had been observing the people here. What surprised him was that he saw several survivors who seemed to have signs of awakening.
When did "awakening" become a common word?
Ye Xiao clearly remembered that he had paid a cruel price and experienced such a dangerous life and death test before he was lucky enough to get the hard-won power.
"...Originally, we planned to invite everyone to come here one by one to discuss the situation in the northern part of Qingquan City, but since you are all here, let's do it together."
After a pause, Luca continued.
"I believe you should have noticed that the chaos brought by the Legion is spreading from the central part of the Valley Province to the south. Countless survivors were displaced in the war, and a huge tribe of predators is rising in the chaos. They burned villages, destroyed settlements, plundered and enslaved everything in sight."
The thin man shuddered and said tremblingly.
"Chew bones..."
Luca glanced at him and nodded.
"Yes, they are called this name."
"Originally, we expected that they would march to the northern suburbs of Qingquan City in the spring, but what we didn't expect was that they came earlier than planned."
As he said, old Luca nodded to his assistant beside him.
The young man immediately understood and sent the prepared VMs to the survivors one by one.
Looking at the VM in his hand, he was a little overwhelmed. Just when everyone in the reception room was wondering what the blue coats here were going to do, a picture appeared on the screen.
That was the drone's aerial view.
In the research base dotted with bonfires, a group of looters had already occupied it.
They were well-equipped, some carrying bolt-action rifles, some holding automatic rifles, and machine guns welded on the top of the truck. Some even put on bulletproof vests outside their fur coats, and many carried rocket launchers on their backs... Those were all the equipment of the legion!
After seeing this picture, all the survivors present, including Brown, had unhappy expressions on their faces.
"Are they... people from the Bone Chewing Tribe?"
"Where is this?"
"It seems to be the Zhongzhou Space Ecological Experimental Base... I've heard of this place, northeast of Qingquan City!"
"What?! The people from the Bone Chewing Tribe have already reached Qingquan City?!"
Everyone was in a panic.
The Bone Chewing Tribe has actually reached right under their noses?
Didn't the broadcast say that there was still some distance!
"It's about 15 to 16 kilometers away from us. It's not very close, but it's definitely not far." Luca answered some of their questions and signaled them to stay calm and continue looking down.
In the picture.
A flash of fire suddenly flashed beside the road below the high ground.
Without the slightest sign, the silent forest was instantly lit up by dense gunfire!
The battle broke out instantly!
At this time, the whistling rockets crossed the battlefield and hit the south side of the experimental base fiercely, and a group of exploding flames bloomed on the predator's position.
At the same time, the predator's machine guns began to sweep down the mountain, and the whizzing bullets almost heated the air passing through.
The tense and intense atmosphere even penetrated the screen.
Brown held his breath unconsciously, and the expression on his face was as stiff as a stone.
At this time, he glanced at the fat man named Doru who was sitting not far from him, and a row of soybean-sized sweat oozed from his forehead.
It can be seen that he was frightened by this scene!
Du Conglin and Ye Xiao, who were not far away, were not frightened by the cruelty of the battlefield.
However, when the battle became fierce, their faces were all filled with surprise, shock, and disbelief.
It was not just because of the strength of these blue jackets.
What was even more difficult for them to understand was the strength shown by the predators guarding the high ground in this defensive battle.
Are these people really just predators? ? ?
In Du Conglin's impression, predators are all bandits who pick on the weak, and their fighting style is similar to the gunfights between gangs... although he is also one of them.
However, these predators have obviously shown a certain combat quality.
Thinking of his side, less than an hour ago, he was still arguing over which family had two more or two less, and Du Conglin suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
If they were thrown there and fought these looters with real weapons, he was sure that less than one-third of them would come back alive.
In the picture, as the survivors on the eastern front rushed to the high ground and attacked the experimental base, the battle had basically come to an end.
Only sporadic gunfire flickered on the battlefield.
The looters who retreated into the building were either shot behind the bunker or killed by grenades thrown into the room.
There were even worse ones, whose clothes were ignited by the fire of the Molotov cocktail, and the whole person turned into a ball of fire, and was burned to death in agony.
There was no doubt that the blue jackets won this battle.
A group of looters with their hands on their heads were lining up to walk out of a certain experimental building under the surveillance of rifles.
The picture ended here.
There was silence in the reception room.
Looking at the survivors sitting here, Old Luca continued with a serious expression.
"Everyone, we are facing a group of organized looters, and their danger is far beyond our expectations."
"The northern suburbs of Qingquan City are very large, and we cannot maintain a defense line of dozens of kilometers. This is neither realistic nor possible."
"A cruel fact is that if we shrink the defense line to our feet and turn a blind eye to your situation, you who are scattered all over the northern suburbs may have only one end, that is, you will be defeated one by one by the bone chewing tribe with an absolute advantage in military strength, and become their slaves or even food."
Looking at the survivors whose faces were gradually turning pale, Old Luca paused for a moment and put forward the proposal of the administrator.
"Our respected administrator has taken this into consideration, so we have a proposal here, and I hope you can seriously consider it."
"If you don't want to become the food of the looters, and don't want to go far away, you might as well move to us."
The moment the voice fell, a commotion spread in the reception room. The expressions on the faces of the people sitting here were different, and each had its own wonderfulness.
Especially Brown.
He almost wrote the word "dream" on his face.
Move to your place? !
Crazy!
Brown's heart was filled with anger and humiliation. These treacherous and shameless people actually! Actually... Well, he didn't know how to criticize them, but they clearly accepted his tribute, shouldn't they do something?
He still had a little hope in his heart and came here in the heavy snow.
I didn't expect to hear such a ridiculous proposal!
Without taking these wonderful expressions to heart, Old Luca continued in a calm tone.
"We know that moving is not an easy thing."
"But compared to the two roads and the possible consequences, I think you should seriously consider it. We sincerely propose from the bottom of our hearts."
