This Game is Too Real

   Chapter 155 Friends Forever

   "...Forget it, let's eat a candy."

  The sound of gunfire not far away has gradually subsided. Chu Guang, who overlooked the battlefield through a small drone, threw the peeled Xiaofuning into his mouth.

   Even though he didn't have to do this with his physique, he always felt uneasy if he didn't eat one.

  Because the performance of the players was too strong, until the end, Chu Guang did not find the time to enter.

   But that's a good thing.

   Chu Guang is very pleased with the growth of the little players.

   There is still a big difference between the gameplay of heterogeneous combat and team battle.

   Once this battle is over, even players who came in with Alpha 0.6 can take off their recruits' hats, and many old players have been promoted to veterans who have gone through three battles.

   And they all "survive".

   I believe that with this experience, they will be more brave next time.

   In addition, one thing to say is that the combat effectiveness of the legion is still very strong.

  Anti-tank rockets whizzed around the position, grenade launchers fired fragmentation mines, and a machine gun was mounted behind the fortifications.

   Thanks to Garbage Jun, he took the lead in attacking, otherwise it would have killed 10 or 20 more people.

After the ceasefire of the    machine guns, the fighting was basically over.

  The players quickly tore a hole on the east side of the Legion's second line of defense, helping the ally's power armor to break through the Legion's line of defense.

   The only fly in the ointment is that Garbage Jun himself did not survive and was blasted to the sky by a cluster grenade in the trenches.

  The steam boiler also exploded, the boiling water reached the sky, and a piece of snow and mist scattered into fireworks.

   That scene was spectacular.

   Chu Guang, who was OB outside the battlefield, everyone was stunned, so he quickly recorded it.

   This is included in the promotional PV, is it not too much to give a one-second shot?

   Strong or not is another matter, handsome is over!

  …

  The battle on the front line has come to an end.

   Next to the burning trench.

   A player stepped forward and wanted to pick up the iron barrel rifle on the ground.

   At this time, the clone lying on his back suddenly opened his eyes, struggled to get up from the ground, grabbed the player's thigh with his hand and bit his mouth, so frightened that the player quickly kicked him away.

   "Fuck! Are you really a dog? Raise your hand! Move me again and shoot—"

boom!

  The sound of gunshots sounded from the side, and shot the clone with half of its face scorched in the head.

  The player looked bewildered, and a soldier wearing an exoskeleton passed by him and patted him on the shoulder.

   "They are all poor people, it would be better to give them a good time."

   The player stared blankly at the far back, completely ignorant of what the man was saying, then glanced at the corpse on the ground, and cursed in his heart.

Depend on!

  5 silver coins become 5 copper coins!

   What a big loss!

   The work of cleaning the battlefield went smoothly.

  These clone troopers didn't plan to live at all. Some of them were knocked out by the explosion. As soon as they opened their eyes, they jumped up with a scream and were shot to death.

   At first the players planned to stay alive.

   After all, the living prisoners are more valuable, and the people who slaughtered those who gave up their weapons were somewhat reluctant, yes, but not necessary.

   However, players later discovered that these people were not normal people at all.

I don't know if the AI ​​is not finished or the setting is just like this. Anyway, these clones are like gnawing people with guns, so the players don't keep their hands anymore. Axe, so as not to be startled when looting.

As for the ten commanders and centurions of the legion wearing navy blue coats, although many of them also showed the momentum of desperate resistance, when they found that the situation was gone, they finally threw away their weapons and raised their hands in the trenches. surrender.

  Compared to the stubborn resistance of the junior officers on the front line before surrendering, the commander of the commander, Vanus, surrendered more simply.

   This guy didn't run at all, he sat quietly in the temporary command post, poured himself half a glass of turbid wine, and waited for the power armor of the pioneer to search over.

   In this snowy weather, where can you run?

   Without supplies and guards to follow, it was impossible for him to travel hundreds of kilometers and return to the headquarters of the expeditionary force.

   Not to mention that the drone is flying overhead. Without the protection of thermal insulation materials, even the fog emanating from the nose and mouth can be clearly seen, let alone such a big person.

   As long as he exits the door of the temporary command post, his whole person lights up like a lamp.

   It is better to wait here and surrender dignifiedly, rather than burying your head in the snowdrift by the pursuers.

  As senior officers with a complete military education, their value is much higher than the average clone troopers and those little slave owners who lead the clone troopers to fight. The legion allows them to surrender to the enemy after the battle damage exceeds 90%.

  Although he will be demoted one level later, as long as he survives, there is still a chance.

  The people of the enterprise rarely slaughtered prisoners of war, and Lu Yang really did not do anything to him, he just had him handcuffed and escorted back together with the ten commanders who surrendered.

  The personnel of the logistics department built a temporary prison for them out of foam materials in an open snow field. The prison even installed plastic plumbing pipes, which were connected to a small boiler for burning wood.

  The freezing can't stand, they can go outside to pick up firewood to burn.

   But on the other hand, after they are locked in, the people of the enterprise will take away their coats, leaving only a single coat and trousers.

   It is snowing heavily outside, and you may freeze your hands, let alone run away.

   Without a jacket to protect against the cold, I’m afraid I can’t walk even 1km, and I’ll freeze to death in the snow.

   Compared with the prisoners, Chu Guang was more interested in the equipment they left behind.

   These clone troopers are poorly equipped, with very few assault rifles, most of which are semi-automatic or even bolt-action.

   But what is commendable is that they have achieved the unity of weapon style and bullet type.

   Unlike Chu Guang's players, some have 9mm, some have 7mm, and some have 5mm runner small water pipes, and the bullets don't know where they are going from a distance.

   It seems that these looters, who call themselves legions, have good logistical capabilities. There should be industrial support at the rear, but it is difficult to judge the specific level.

   In addition to conventional weapons, players also found ten 12mm caliber machine guns, and nearly 100 anti-tank rocket launchers that looked like "Iron Fist" before they could be used.

  This anti-tank rocket is very light, with a total weight of less than 5 kilograms. Nearly 200 grams of propellant is stuffed into the slender iron tube. It is disposable and disposable.

The front-end warhead is a cylindrical magazine with a diameter of 155mm and a conical hood that reduces wind resistance. Nearly 1kg of T and T mixed with Hexokin can make it penetrate a 200mm homogeneous steel plate... If it hits directly if.

  Whether it's killing infantry or anti-light armor, this thing can be said to be cheap and easy to use, at least much better than the mutant's black powder bomb.

The only drawback of    is that the firing speed of this thing is very slow, the range is only a pitiful 50m, and the accuracy of the head is very poor.

   But even with so many shortcomings, Chu Guang was very happy.

  Bazooka is more reliable than the goblin rocket. It's not too much to sell 50 silver coins in the weapon store, right?

   If you encounter something like a cracked claw crab, you will definitely have a chance to use it!

  In addition to the rocket launcher, there is also a grenade launcher, but to be honest, this thing is a bit overwhelming. It is a grenade launcher, and its power can only be said to be average. On the contrary, the remaining fragmented thunders are all good things, and Chu Guang intends to hand them over to Boss Xia to deal with them.

  It stands to reason that these spoils also belong to the pioneer.

   But these old-fashioned equipment, the company employees on the pioneer ship didn't like it at all, they could only be recycled as scrap iron, and they had to work hard to pick them up, so they generously left everything to Chu Guang and the others.

   Apart from the weapons, what surprised Chu Guang the most was the five light trucks.

   The engines used in these trucks are equipped with firewood carburetors, which can be started by inserting a log into the feed port, which is tailor-made for the environment on the wasteland.

   In addition, in order to adapt to rough terrain, the tires of these 5 light trucks are designed to be large. Although it is difficult to drive into the city with the largest tires, it is still possible to run in the wilderness.

  At least on the road from the outpost to the action camp, players no longer have to run on two legs.

   It takes some time to clean the battlefield.

  Chu Guang found a few players who could drive. After familiarizing himself with the operation of the truck, he drove the light truck to an open space with less vegetation, waiting for the players to recover the spoils and the bodies of teammates.

  Thanks to his foresight to let the players bring woven bags, otherwise these little players would have to make a dozen more trips to load the loot they picked up.

   Looking at the players who carried the loot onto the truck, Chu Guang suddenly had a feeling of making a fortune.

   But he knew in his heart that it would be somewhat inappropriate to laugh out loud at this time.

   Even for the sake of the pension, he had to look heavy.

   At least keep your face expressionless.

   At this moment, Lu Yang, who was wearing a power armor, walked towards him.

   His body was covered in mud and blood, and he looked quite embarrassed, but he was not injured.

   opened the mask, Lu Yang looked at Chu Guang and said in a sincere tone.

   "Brothers, thank you, if you hadn't come to support, I'm afraid this battle would not have ended so smoothly."

   "We are allies, we should take care of each other, and they killed our people, we must personally avenge this revenge."

   After a pause, Chu Guang looked at him and continued.

   "How about your casualties?"

   Speaking of casualties, Lu Yang said in a low voice with a heavy expression.

   "Three dead, four seriously injured..."

   The total number of crew members on the Pioneer is less than 100, and the death of three is already a serious downsizing.

   The last time there were such serious casualties was when I was just out of the cloud and fighting against the mutant tribe.

  No one expected that the leader of the group of mutants was actually a super mutant, and they used two tactical nuclear bombs to clear it up.

   Taking a deep breath of the cold air, Lu Yang stared at Chu Guang and asked.

"what about you?"

   "117 dead, serious injuries have not yet been counted."

   Hearing this number, Lu Yang's heart paused for a moment. What could have been regarded as a comforting victory was also blown away by this heavy number.

   He didn't know how many people were in Vault 404, but he estimated that there should be no more than a thousand.

   Such a heavy attrition is almost a devastating blow to some small and medium-sized survivor strongholds.

  Lu Yang couldn't imagine the pressure this man was under at this moment, and how he would face the families of the deceased residents in the future.

   Behind this number, it means 117 families...

   "We will do our best to treat the injured...the dead, I'm sorry."

  Chu Guang did not speak.

  To be honest, he didn't have the heart to fool this guy anymore.

  If an NPC dies, he will probably feel distressed for a while, but if the player...wait for three days, he will live.

   Those players didn't feel anything, and when they were searching for the loot, they were so excited that they almost sang.

   However, this guy in front of him is obviously serious.

   "Before they came here, they were already prepared. Before leaving, I asked them to bring guns and woven bags. If they can't hold the corpses of the enemy, they will carry themselves."

   After a pause, Chu Guang continued.

   "So don't feel sorry for us, people are mortal. Before coming here, they were already prepared."

   Chu Guang's original intention of saying these words was to comfort this righteous partner.

   However, what Chu Guang didn't expect was that after he finished saying this, the big brother's expression became even heavier, even a little sad.

   took a deep breath, Lu Yang calmed down his mood, looked at Chu Guang and said.

   "There is something I would like to ask for your opinion."

  Chu Guang looked at him and asked.

"whats the matter?"

  Lu Yang said seriously.

   "I plan to submit an application to the board of directors of Silver Wing Group to grant you the title of 'permanent corporate partner'... This is not just my idea, but also the shared idea of ​​all members of our pioneer ship."

  Chu Guang was stunned for a moment, and hesitantly said.

   "What does this corporate permanent partner mean?"

   Lujan explained.

   "It's a proof and an admission... Of course, this requires your opinion."

Opinion?

  Chu Guang, of course, has no opinion.

  Although thousands of kilometers away, who would think that he has too many friends?

   Without hesitation, Chu Guang readily accepted Captain Lu's proposal.

   "I have no problem, you have been our partners from the moment you helped us deal with the mutant tribe."

   Hearing this sentence, Lu Yang's face finally stretched a sincere smile.

   "I'm glad you think so."

   "But this title should not only be a symbolic partner, but also have some substantive effects... Let's chat as we walk."

  …

  5 trucks are slowly moving forward in the wilderness.

   An off-road vehicle with a snow shovel and a welded machine gun drove ahead, escorting their allies back to the outpost with their loot.

Although the crew of the Trailblazer hated going to the field, when Li De walked up to them and asked them, "Is anyone willing to **** our hero home", almost all of them stood up and volunteered to express themselves. willing to participate in this action.

   Even those Marines with wounds.

  In this battle, the residents of the shelter used their bravery to win the respect of all the crew of the Trailblazer.

   They may be poor and backward, but they are by no means weak.

   is a group of warriors who can defend their dignity with the weapons in their hands!

   Such people are worthy of respect wherever they are.

   did not return to the outpost immediately, Chu Guang first followed Lu Yang to the operation camp, where he met Li De who had been waiting for a long time.

   The two have always communicated through holographic images, and seeing each other face to face again after a lapse of many days, Chu Guang unexpectedly felt a little cordial for a while.

   Of course, what surprised Chu Guang even more was his attitude that changed 180 degrees.

   When he came here before, this guy didn't come down to say hello to him, he just told his subordinates to entertain him.

   And now, the section chief actually took the initiative to meet him and held his hand.

   "I'm sorry for my previous mistrust and prejudice. You are a group of true warriors. Your heroism is impressive. Thank you for everything you have done for us. If it weren't for you, this war would have been unpredictable."

  Because he saw the battle situation on the drone, Li De had a completely different evaluation of the battle situation at that time. In his opinion, if the legion surrounded its own armored units, it would probably be Lu Yang and his team who would be divided and encircled.

   In addition to the power armor can kill a **** road, it is difficult to say how much the light infantry with only exoskeleton protection can survive.

   This battle also made him determined to more than double the reserve of artillery shells and design a light fixed wing with a larger bomb load.

   If you continue westward, it will be sooner or later that you will encounter the Legion again.

   shook his hand and let go, Chu Guang nodded and said.

   "I will pass on your praise to my residents. In addition, I have some specific information about the title of permanent business partner."

   Knowing that Chu Guang would ask this, Li De nodded and made a please gesture.

   "I'm planning to discuss this matter with you, let's go into the room and talk!"

  …

   Inside the barracks.

  According to Li De's description, Chu Guang has a general understanding of the title of "permanent enterprise partner".

   The so-called "enterprise permanent partner" is equivalent to an enhanced version of the "trade whitelist".

   As we all know, although the company is located in the distant province of the clouds, the territory of trade is far more than a small place like the province of the clouds. Even on the west coast of the Central Continent, people who do business under their banner can be seen.

  If there is a dispute, it is impossible for a company to fly over thousands of kilometers to take revenge.

   Therefore, in order to prevent problems before they occur, the company's people have launched a "trade whitelist" system.

   Do business with the survivors' settlements on the whitelist. If they are plundered by local survivors, the insurance company will pay for the loss of the caravan after sending a salesman to understand the situation. For cases outside the whitelist, no compensation will be given.

   Therefore, the vast majority of caravans from enterprises, especially those with really good things, will be more inclined to do business with those regular survivor strongholds on the "white list". Only a few small caravans would take the risk to do business with the strongholds of the three survivors just to gamble.

  For example, Boulder City is on the trade whitelist.

   For decades, the caravans of enterprises have been trading in Boulder City, and their legitimate rights and interests have been guaranteed, so they can buy those high-tech products.

And like Bette Street and Brown Farm, only the slave traders in Red River Town and the third- and fourth-tier caravans in Boulder City will take care of them. The caravans from enterprises will not consider trading with them at all, nor will they Stop at their stronghold.

   After all, if something goes wrong, the insurance they bought will not pay!

  To enter the white list, employees with grade A or above need to apply to the corporate headquarters and guarantee it with their own credit scores.

   In addition, you need to submit an inspection report of more than 30 pages, and stay in the local area for at least 60 days to ensure the accuracy of the investigation.

The company has employees who specialize in this bowl of rice, and their income is usually not low, because if they successfully develop a market for the company, in the next ten years, the company will give them a commission based on the transaction volume, and award outstanding contributions to outstanding contributors. Commendation from employees and even incorporating it into management.

   At the same time, the settlements of survivors who have been guaranteed will be recognized by the enterprises as civilized people, and more caravans will incorporate them into trade routes.

  Many caravans that do not belong to the enterprise will refer to this list to a certain extent to judge whether the transaction party is trustworthy.

  After all, no one wants to get into a predator’s cage, or test the other’s moral bottom line with the goods in their pockets.

   Doing business with low-risk survivor bases, and borrowing money from the bank is easier.

   As for the title of "permanent strategic partner of the enterprise", its meaning is extraordinary, both in terms of influence and difficulty of obtaining, far beyond the "trade white list" guaranteed by A-level employees.

   First of all, the individual applying must be at least a senior executive of the branch, or a shareholder, or even the chairman of the branch.

   Secondly, this branch cannot be a small company with no sense of existence in the "enterprise", at least it must have at least one seat on the board of directors of the headquarters!

   If the trade whitelist is only to guarantee the credit and safety of the counterparty, then the title of "permanent strategic partner of the enterprise" is more like a strong recommendation——

  【This is a quality customer we met outside, and we introduced them to you. They are there for us in times of distress, they are completely trustworthy, you can stay on their turf with confidence, and they will provide you with food and shelter. 】

   [At the same time, the caravans under the enterprise are prohibited from taking hostile actions against them, and armed employment companies are prohibited from targeting them. Class F and E technology authorization and related trading varieties are lifted. 】

  The Boulder City and the enterprise have been trading for decades, which is a white list. There is no survivor base in the entire Qingquan City that can get the title of "permanent enterprise partner".

   It's really hard after all.

   In principle, the Pioneer, which is a "scientific expedition", has no right to confer the title of a survivor's base far away from the Province of the Clouds.

   But the lineup of this "scientific research team" is too luxurious.

Even the drivers of the water trucks are C-level employees of the company, and there are many B-level and A-level people on duty in the office. Li De, who is the section chief, and Lu Yang, the captain of the Marine Corps, are senior executives of the Silver Wing Group. .

   In general, those caravans that go to other provinces to do business, even if they are the leaders, are only grade B, and few who can get to grade A are willing to leave the ideal city and go out into the wild.

   With the influence of the pioneer crew members, they are indeed eligible to submit this application, but some processing is required in the procedure.

   Chu Guang was very interested in what Li De said last.

   "What exactly are the E and F technologies? Is there any power armor?"

   Chu Guang didn't expect too much, but he didn't expect Li De to actually nod his head.

"Of course there is... but I don't recommend it, the E-technology power armor uses chemical battery power, which is actually an enhanced version of the exoskeleton. Few caravans carry something that heavy, and most survivors Strongholds are also more inclined to buy power sources and process them themselves.”

   After a pause, Li De continued.

"I really want to help you get this title. Every year, thousands of caravans of the company pass through the river valley provinces, and one of the two corridors leading to the west is on the plain in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City. If it can be done, this It will be of great help to you in the future.”

"But there is a big problem now that your strength still needs to be improved. Later, I will let someone help you repair that machine tool, but even so... I am afraid it is difficult for you to come up with things that other caravans are interested in. . Even if you become a permanent business partner, I can't guarantee that you will be more attractive than the survivor stronghold on the 'trade white list'."

   To put it bluntly, the machine tool is more like a "staff". Its power does not depend on itself, but also on the "material" of the casting and the "people" of the casting.

   But after listening to Li De's words, Chu Guang did not take this issue to heart, but became more interested.

   "It's okay, they can invest and set up factories here! Those E and F products can be produced here and sold to other places in Qingquan City."

“We have an abundance of raw materials here, and piles of unrecycled waste waiting for people to deal with. We also have quality labor, and we can even provide logistical security for their transactions in the province… It’s definitely better than when they send their products from It's much easier to ship from the East Coast!"

   After listening to Chu Guang's words, Li De was obviously stunned for a moment.

what……

   Does this work too? -

   (Thanks to the book friend "Free Wind and Rain 2" for the reward! Sorry, it's a little late today, there was a bug in WPS, but fortunately the manuscript was recovered. It's still 4D today! [4/30])
