This Game is Too Real

   Chapter 157 The messenger from Boulder City

far away.

  The flying snow and more than a dozen gunshots rendered the funeral a sadness.

  The three fallen Marines were sent to the freezer, and the crew of the Trailblazer held a simple funeral for them.

   In order to prevent the corpses of the comrades from being eaten by the alien species, they will freeze the corpses, store them in the morgue, and bring them back to the ideal city for burial after the victory of the expedition.

  The Pioneer had a hundred people when it set off, but now there are only 90 people left, and three others are lying in the medical cabin for treatment, waiting for the prosthesis to be implanted.

   Looking at the remains of his comrade-in-arms, Lu Yang felt a little heavy, and even felt a little confused.

   He doesn't doubt the decision of the company's top management, nor is he afraid of dying on the way to find Refuge 0, but what makes him sad is that he doesn't know how many people will die if he goes on like this.

   It was only now that we arrived in the River Valley Province, and we had already reduced our staff by 10%.

  If you continue to go west and go deep into the wasteland...

   At this time, his adjutant Yi Hai walked up to him and whispered.

   "We should increase the stockpile of weapons, by at least another 500 tons. The further west we go, the more likely we are to encounter Legion forces. I fear... by then there will be new situations."

  Lu Yang nodded.

"Last night, I discussed this issue with Chief Li of the Logistics Division. On the one hand, we need to increase the weapons reserves, and on the other hand, we need to actively get reinforcements from the enterprise headquarters. I plan to help the residents of Vault 404 strengthen their base of operations, If reinforcements from the corporate headquarters arrive later, you can get supplies from them."

   is not just for this factor.

  Luyan was concerned that General Klaas of the Expeditionary Force learned that Vault 404 had acquired the title of "Permanent Partner of the Enterprise" shortly after his thousand-man brigade was damaged.

   That undoubtedly told them that Vault 404 played a decisive role in the outcome of that war.

  Perhaps General Klaas wouldn't lose his mind for a thousand commander and forget what he was doing in the valley province.

   But it is hard to say whether they will take other retaliatory actions.

   After all, those plunderers are the "number one fans" of the Legion, and many of the plunderers' preparation and tame slave skills are simply copied from the Legion.

   Yi Hai nodded lightly.

"I think so too."

  …

  The sky is lit up.

   In the distant operation camp, the industrious residents of Vault 404 have already started cooking fires.

   Fang Chang, who was sitting in the camp, had his left arm bandaged and a bowl in his hand, took a mouthful of noodle soup and said with emotion.

   "Hey, fortunately, brother scrambled eggs is still alive, otherwise I wouldn't be able to eat this noodles."

   Bow and life were saved.

   The only pity is that the ten brothers of the night were sacrificed, Lao Bai couldn't get on the number today, and the wind brother lost an arm and was receiving treatment on the Trailblazer.

   This bowl of noodles can only be eaten by him sitting here alone.

   "I'm also a physique after all, how can it be so easy to get rid of it," a piece of plaster was attached to his face, and the scrambled egg brother in charge did not forget to shout, "Next."

  Although more than 100 people died last night, the living people did not seem to be affected. They only sighed occasionally in the chat, as if to feel sorry for the dead.

   Leaning on the waterwheel and eating the buns he just bought, Yuan Hao looked at the white smoke floating in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.

   "Maybe we should learn from their optimism."

   "Yeah..." Weite nodded, his eyes full of admiration and emotion, "Maybe, this is the reason why they can survive in this tragic world."

   "Speaking of today's soy milk is good."

   "Indeed! Honestly, I wish I could leave the grow pods to them... It's a waste to let freeze-drying workshops and mobile kitchens handle those precious ingredients."

   At this time, in the direction of Linghu Lake in the south, a jet-black transport plane flew over.

  It looks like a dolphin, with a wide nose and a slender fuselage. The two engines located at the bottom of the cabin, one in front and one behind, spray a flirtatious blue arc of fire, pushing the fuselage forward.

  The electromagnetic point defense on the top of the Pioneer aimed at it, followed its outline slowly for a while, and then fired two mass bomb warnings.

   The sound of piercing the sound barrier forced the plane to stop, only to see it stopped forward sensible, and landed slowly in the open area south of the Pioneer.

  The engine was turned off, and four men wearing exoskeletons jumped out of the cabin cleanly and walked towards the Pioneer.

Many players in the    action camp saw this scene, and their faces showed surprised expressions.

   "I rely on?"

   "Helicopter without propellers!"

   "The engine that sprays blue light is so handsome..."

   "If only I could buy one!"

   "One million silver coins, go buy it."

   "Shut up, I'm planning to hear it."

For this group of uninvited guests, although the Pioneer did not sound the alarm, it also entered the first-level combat readiness stage. The staff of the logistics department took the elevator back to the interior of the fortress. Instead, four marines wearing power armor got off the elevator. .

   walked forward with three teammates, Captain Lu Yang stared at the four in front of him and frowned slightly.

"You are?"

The man headed    stepped forward and said politely.

   "We are from the Boulder City Militia, my name is Li Hua."

  Luyan stared at him.

   "The First Pioneering Corps of the Silver Wing Group, Lu Yang, explain your purpose."

   "Aftermath, we don't want to intervene in your conflicts, but this conflict happened on our land after all..."

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the fixed-wing drone taking off from the top of the fortress, and Li Hua raised his hands helplessly, "Don't be nervous, friends from afar, your fight is over anyway, so how about you stop here? Why don't you take the prisoners to your hands? We, we can pay a ransom for them... it's no use keeping them anyway, isn't it?"

   "You are here on behalf of the Legion?" Lu Yang's tone sank.

  Li Hua said.

   "A neutral third party, of course, if you refuse, we won't say anything. He is your captive after all, and you have the power to deal with him."

  Lu Yang pondered for a while and said.

   "I am not alone in the matter of the captives. I have to ask our allies for their opinions."

   "Allies?" The man was stunned for a moment, and exchanged surprised glances with his teammates. Finally, he looked at Lu Yang and nodded helplessly, "Okay... we can wait."

   Someone dares to interfere in the affairs of the Legion?

   What a warrior!

   Watching those people return to the plane, Lu Yang also brought his subordinates back to the Trailblazer and hung up the phone with Chu Guang.

   When the call came, Chu Guang happened to be at the office and took the pension payment list from Luo Hua.

  117000CR with a magnetic confinement plasma processing machine.

  Yes, the latter is free.

  After this battle, the head of the logistics department changed his attitude and decided to repair the machine for them free of charge as a reward for helping Vault 404 during the encounter.

   However, the technology of that machine tool is relatively complicated, and it will take about a week to completely repair it, and he needs to wait patiently for a while. Luo Hua assured Chu Guang that he would definitely deliver the thing to them before leaving.

  Chu Guang of course didn't mind waiting, and he wasn't in a hurry.

   Saving 100,000 CR is a **** profit, right?

   The price he paid was only 117 active substances, and since those clones left more than 2,000 corpses, rounding it up equals no cost.

   In addition, there is a pension of 117000CR, whether it is used to buy guns or food, it is very cool, right?

Of course, because the amount of materials involved in tens of thousands of CRs is too large, Luo Hua also reminded Chu Guang that the production capacity of the Trailblazer is limited. If you need to buy a lot of materials, it is best to place an order in advance. There will not be a lot of reserves, and it will take time to arrange production.

   Like an assault rifle.

   Such as agricultural products.

  If it cannot be delivered before departure, you can only give them money and let them buy from the company's caravan.

   Of course, these problems are not a problem in Chu Guang's view.

  If Vault 404 becomes a permanent partner of the company, even if the CR is not used up, it will be no problem, and it will be used one day.

  Chu Guang is a group of happy hearts at the moment, but he can't express too much excitement at this moment, he feels that all his 16 points of strength are used to hold back laughter.

   However, he was not happy for a while, and soon received a call from Lu Yang...

   "Boulder City? Are they going to redeem people?" After listening to Captain Lu's words, Chu Guang was stunned.

   Two days ago, he was still saying that the people in this huge stone city had not moved for a long time, but they came over early this morning.

   "Yes." In the hologram, Lu Yang nodded, "Their people just arrived in the northern suburbs."

  Chu Guang asked immediately.

   "How did they get here?"

   Such a big snow!

  The entire road from the northern suburbs to the Third Ring Road is blocked. This is not a problem of just 10 or 20 kilometers, but a problem of climbing a few mountains and drilling a few holes!

   The most important thing is that they did not pass through the elevated north out of the city, and the hummingbirds wandering in this area did not even see their shadows at all.

   Could it be possible to pass over the lake?

  Lujan: "It's a twin-engine rotorless aircraft."

  Chu Guang: "..."

All right.

   He wasted his expression.

   But since he can afford to fly, he is not an ordinary mercenary or a mercenary. Eighty percent of them are from the Militia of the Stone City.

   Looking at Lu Yang's hologram, Chu Guang's expression became serious, and he said without even asking how much the ransom was.

   "We cannot take this ransom!"

  Lu Yang looked at Chu Guang and asked.

   "We didn't promise them. Before deciding what to do with those captives, I would like to know your opinion."

   Views?

   What's the point of this?

   It would be great fun if the captives were released and the expeditionary forces in the north knew that they had ruined their good deeds.

  Although the expeditionary army of the legion will know that it is their own hands sooner or later, but knowing the same thing in different ways, the possible consequences are completely different.

  If Vanus didn't go back, even if the general of the expeditionary force knew the inside story, he would not necessarily send someone to the south to search for a stupid loser.

  The marching speed was slow on a snowy day. When the snow stopped, the Trailblazer was long gone. It was not worth it to go over 500 kilometers to beat up a bunch of country bumpkins.

  If people go less, they will give away their heads, but if they go too much, they will not be able to get their capital back.

   But if Vanus is allowed to go back alive, that's not a good idea.

  What if this guy persuaded his general, gathered a thousand-man team, and ran back to find a place?

   is not entirely impossible.

   Considering the connections of this commander within the legion and the expeditionary force, and the possible kinship, Chu Guang can list at least four completely different possibilities.

   Lujan asked after a little thought.

   "Then what do you think is better?"

"If you don't plan to take him with you when you leave, then hand over these prisoners to us," Chu Guang said sincerely, looking at Lu Yang in the hologram, "When the expeditionary forces in the north are defeated, I will give them to us. A chance for him to redeem himself, but not now."

It’s definitely not okay to let it go, and it’s not appropriate to kill it. It’s better to keep it until the expeditionary force withdraws from the river valley province, and decides based on the specific situation, whether to deal with him or give him a chance to redeem himself. .

The commanders of the    Legion are all slave owners, and they can always find a way to squeeze some benefits out of them.

   It’s really not good, and it’s the same when you sell it to Boulder City.

   At least during the period when the Legion's expeditionary force was still in the River Valley Province, Chu Guang couldn't put this unstable factor back.

  Lu Yang probably also thought of this layer and nodded.

"Okay, in fact, I don't agree with letting him go now, at least before we set off, we have to keep him under control to make sure he doesn't run around. Since we are of the same mind, those messengers from Boulder City, I Just send it away."

  Chu Guang heaved a sigh of relief and nodded lightly.

   "So good."

  …

   The jet-black helicopter took off again and headed back towards the Boulder City on the edge of the Third Ring Road in Qingquan City.

   Glancing at the Pioneer, which was getting farther and farther away, Li Hua had some regrets on his face.

   The militia soldier sitting next to him couldn't help asking.

   "Sir, are we just leaving?"

  Li Hua glanced at him.

   "Or else? What better idea do you have?"

  The soldier immediately shut his mouth and stopped talking.

   What good ideas could he have.

   He was just worried that the head of the regiment would blame them when they saw that they had failed.

   But speaking of it, these hillbilly from the northern suburbs are really brave enough to actually get involved in the disputes between the legion and the enterprise.

   Are they going to dance in the minefield?

   I don't understand.

   Action camp not far away.

  The players who originally thought there would be a new storyline scattered in dissatisfaction and went about their own business.

   "What on earth are these people doing?"

"do not know……"

   "Who do you think those people will be?"

   "The equipment is different from that of the enterprise... Could it be someone from Boulder City?"

"possible."

  At twelve o'clock in the morning in game time and noon tomorrow in real time, there will be a loot auction on the official website.

Judging from the pictures posted in the announcement, there are many good things on the auction list, and many young players who are still online have decided that it is a little bit to make some money while they are at this time, and wait until the auction When meeting, it is also a good idea to take pictures of your favorite equipment.

   Meanwhile, on the Trailblazer.

   The gust of wind lying on the medical bed looked at his right hand in surprise, his face full of disbelief.

   That is a mechanical hand.

  The shiny steel shell looks quite strong and heavy, but it does not affect its flexibility at all.

   Honestly it doesn't look like a prosthetic at all.

   It's almost like it grew out of him!

   At that time, he was lying in the trenches. He thought he was going to go down to accompany Ye Shi OB soon, but he was not expected to be rescued by a soldier wearing an exoskeleton. He screamed and then put him on a stretcher.

   In short, he, who was not replenished, seemed to be the only seriously injured person who survived.

  In order to save him, the Trailblazer carried him on the operating table, then injected him with anesthesia...and then the wind went offline.

   In reality, we spent an ordinary afternoon. At night, Gu Feng just put on the helmet with the mentality of trying it out, but he did not expect it to be successfully connected.

   And when he woke up from the coma, he found himself like this.

   At this moment, the door of the infirmary opened.

   A doctor in a surgical gown walked in.

   "You woke up, how are you feeling?"

   Gale: "..."

   What is this guy talking about.

   doesn't even have subtitles.

   Seeing that he didn't speak, the doctor sighed softly and continued.

"Sorry, we did our best. Over 90% of the tissue in your right hand has been necrotic, and we can only amputate you. Later we examined your nervous system and found that the neurons were unexpectedly active, just in time for a prosthetic implant. conditions, so I installed this robotic arm for you."

"Compared to the bionic prosthesis, this kind of manipulator may be less convenient in life, but it is quite convenient to carry heavy objects and operate instruments. We do not have the conditions to make the bionic prosthesis here, if you expect it to be exactly the same as the original You can pay attention to the company's caravan... If you are lucky, you should be able to buy it."

  Guangfeng couldn't understand what the doctor was saying, he just thought that this new arm was so badass, he wished he would run and pretend with his friends now——

   Oh no, it should be said Annunciation!

   This wave is more than a loss.

   It's a big profit!

   After the doctor finished speaking, Gu Feng nodded sincerely.

"thanks!"

   A smile appeared on the doctor's face. Although he also didn't understand what he said, he could still distinguish the patient's expression.

   "You're welcome, this is what we should do!"

  …

   took the elevator to get off the Pioneer, and Gu Feng, who returned to the action camp, just heard the conversations of the surrounding players.

   "There seems to be one more collection task... Going to the construction site in the northern urban area to carry stones, what are you doing? Are you going to burn cement again?"

   "I don't know, it's up to him! Anyway, the mission income is quite high, just go and see."

  After this battle, there seems to be a soft update in the game. Although the BUG of the expansion pack is still unresolved, a lot of new tasks have been added, so that there is a shortage of labor in the operation camp.

   In addition to the task of recycling garbage, Old Luca also released some tasks to collect stones and drive trucks.

   The trucks that were captured from the Legion earlier were evenly distributed to the two on the side of the operation camp. And the fortress of the ally seems to have a new action - a modular production tool is deployed next to the operation camp.

   Judging from the materials stacked next to it, which module seems to be producing cement?

   It’s just that Gu Feng still doesn’t quite understand. What do these people want cement for? Are they still planning to build a permanent fortification here?

   At this moment, Fang Chang came over and was about to say hello when he caught sight of his arm.

   "Fuck?! What's wrong with your arm."

   A sullen smile appeared on that sullen face.

   "I don't know, I just woke up like this."

   "Go!" Fang Chang reached out to pull him excitedly.

   "What?"

"There seems to be a group of mutated snow wolves on the battlefield in the Yumu District. I don't know where they came from. In short, it affects our recovery of the cloned corpses." Fang Chang stuffed a bag of javelins into Gu Feng's hand and smiled. Said, "It just so happened that I received a mission to drive away the mutant snow wolf, why don't you try it too?"

   Gu Feng also had this plan. He wanted to test the power of this mechanical arm. He weighed the feather-light javelin bag in his hand and nodded.

   "Okay... When do we leave?"

   "Let's do it now! The truck to Yumu District is about to leave, let's hurry up and grab a wave, ten kilometers is not too close!"

   The engineers and logistics staff standing next to the cement production workshop looked up at the backs of the two players.

   "...Are they going hunting?"

"seems like it."

   "I always feel that the man with the javelin looks a little familiar."

"I remember him. He was the one who was rescued from the battlefield yesterday. One of his arms was blown off, and only half of his sleeves were attached to his shoulders! Section Chief Li personally arranged for him to have a prosthetic implant surgery, and now he is probably awake. Well..."

   As they spoke, the two of them had expressions of admiration on their faces.

   As soon as he got off the operating table, he went out hunting with a weapon.

   This is too awesome! -

(Daily 5/30, ask for a ticket! After a few chapters, the people of the enterprise slipped away, and the action camp will become a new gathering point, which is equivalent to the second "town" in MMORPG. The early use will be similar to the caravan station. , related to the northern resource collection point and the hunting ground in the northwestern Yumu area, what name do you think is a better name for brother Meng? If you have a good name, use yours!)
