This Game is Too Real

   Chapter 198 Operation Broken Sword!

   So far, no one has completed the first kill of the Death Claw in the entire test server of "Wasteland Online".

  Although there are traces of death claw activity in the elm area, it is winter after all, and death claw is a close relative of the lizard, and it also needs to hibernate.

   Basically lie in the lair twenty-four hours a day, and no player has yet found where the dead claw in the Elm District is hiding.

   Chu Guang, who was squatting on the forum and peeking at the screen, suddenly moved slightly in his heart and said.

   "Xiao Qi, can you transfer the drone over there?"

  Xiao Qi paused for a moment and said in a low voice.

"Well, it should be possible, but there are risks. The wind is too strong outside, and there is snow from time to time, and the Hummingbird is a short-range rotor drone. Even if our communication radius can cover 16 kilometers away, it is so far. The distance, Xiao Qi is worried that he won't be able to fly back after flying over."

   In different climates, the battery life of the drone is different. Hummingbirds are small and very stealthy, but otherwise relatively weak.

  Chu Guang said after pondering for a while.

   "Don't stay there too long, just take two pictures?"

   Xiaoqi said.

   "That should be fine... Xiao Qi, let's try it out."

  Chu Guang nodded and said.

   "Well, just try it, don't force it."

After    and Xiaoqi finished explaining, Chu Guang continued to look at the forum.

  Compared to the players' discussion of the strength of the Death Claw, the enthusiasm of the cloud players' discussion mainly focused on the group of predators.

   From predators' weapons to their clothing styles, there's even a discussion of predator habits and culture.

   These discussions cannot be said to be completely useless, they can only be said to be useless at all.

   Sitting in front of the computer, Chu Guang calculated silently in his heart.

   The outpost now has 5 trucks, 1 in the industrial area, and 1 in the transport route from the outpost to the long-term farm. The other 2 vehicles were deployed in the Elm District and the temporary resource points on the outskirts of the abandoned town in the north respectively, and were responsible for transporting the prey hit by the player and the recycled garbage back to Changchang Farm.

   In fact, there is only one idle truck, which is the one that Dr. Yin Fang rented for the Niu Ma team, and is now returning from the laboratory of Zhongzhou Aerospace.

  The snow in the northern suburbs can be buried to the knees.

The distance of    is nearly 16 kilometers, and there is no reliable vehicle, so players can run over with their legs to support, and must be prepared to spend the whole day on the dry road.

   "It seems that the outpost lacks not only weapons, but also vehicles."

   Long-distance power projection is a big problem. Even if his little players DIY a few mountain bikes and tricycles, the number is still too small.

   "...Once the problem of anti-aircraft weapons is solved, we will have to let No. 81 Steel Plant think of a way to see if they can get a few more firewood trucks out."

   Now Chu Guang doesn't understand one thing.

   What do these looters want fuel rods for?

   They also need to recharge the shelter?

   Can this thing still be used as firewood?

   At this moment, Lao Bai, who had just been back online for a while, went offline again and went to the forum.

   That post has been turned into a live post by him.

   is now updating the experience after being captured by a predator.

   "I'm back! I went back online just now, I sneaked a glance at the window, and found that there are more and more predators here! There were only a few dozen people just now, but now there are hundreds of people!"

   "They confiscated my VM before and searched my body, hahaha, but they didn't think that I could go offline when I sleep!"

   "By the way, is this a game bug? Brother Guang won't delete my post when you see it."

  Fuck!

   Chu Guang's eyes lit up instantly.

  My dear, can a prisoner still use it like this?

   Not to mention deleting the post, Chu Guang wished that he would get stuck on a few more bugs, it is best to post the exact number of opponents and the distribution of troops to the forum.

   I was hesitating whether to open a small account to guide me. The stupid netizens who were waiting for the update below the post quickly asked Chu Guang everything he wanted to ask.

   The blue sky does not see the moon: "Damn, do you still have a window in this cell?"

  The Nursing Home carried the handle: "666, tell me how many people they have and how are their equipment? Later, Lao Na will get off the plane and bring a message back online!"

Old Bai: "What to say, just looking at the physique, I feel that they are actually no different from the Blood Hand clan we encountered before, they are just ordinary predators, but in general, these predators are obviously organized. It is a lot taller than the blood-handed people, and the equipment is also much stronger, probably between the legion and the general plunderer!"

   "Besides, I saw 2 trucks in their camp with a light machine gun on the roof! The machine gun is exactly the same as the one we captured from the regiment!"

"Besides that, they also raised a lot of xenogeneic species, especially mutant hyenas. This is nothing to be surprised at, after all, the Bloody Hand clan also likes to keep dogs, but these people are a bit interesting, they not only keep dogs, but also wear them for dogs. Clothes!"

   "I'm sure that the clothes are definitely not for keeping warm, and 80% are for hanging explosive bags or something! If you plan to attack this place, you'd better be careful about those hyenas, don't let them get close to them!"

   Just when Lao Bai was talking in the post, several familiar IDs suddenly appeared in the forum.

  Ye Shi: "Damn, Lao Bai, are you still alive?!"

  Old Bai: "Haha, Master is still alive! By the way, why did you climb a tree? I have already helped you fight for opportunities, don't tell me you still gave it for nothing."

  Fang Chang: "We are on the truck returning to the base. It is estimated that you are off the assembly line, so lie down and go offline and come back to have a look. Good brother, wait, we will go back and bring rescue troops to save you!"

Old Bai: "Well, don't be impulsive, this group of predators is not easy to deal with. The exoskeleton is broken. The most valuable equipment I have now is the VM. It's not a pity to lose the others. It's just been OB on the forum for three days, it's like saying goodbye to life and death. I just want to figure out before I die what those predators are doing in that ecological laboratory."

  Fang Chang: "Well... I have some thoughts on this. Maybe they didn't plan to use fuel rods at all, but aimed at the ecological park itself."

   Hearing Fang Chang's analysis, Chu Guang suddenly came to his senses.

  This is exactly what he is most curious about.

  Old Bai: "How do you say this!"

Fang Chang: "It's very simple, with a warm climate, sufficient area, and ready-made concrete fortifications, it's a natural base for operations. If I were their commander and confirmed that the ecological park in Building 3 was still working, I would definitely choose to put my home there as well."

   "The only trouble for them now is that Deathclaw has nested there, but now that Deathclaw is wounded, they just need to find it and clean it up."

   Lao Bai was startled.

"Fuck, you say that...it's a bit like that. I see that their trucks are carrying a lot of supplies, which is obviously not the weight of more than 100 people! I counted the boxes they unloaded and If the sacks are all food and ammunition, the consumption of a thousand people is probably enough!"

   Supply!

   It's even more than a thousand people!

  Chu Guang was instantly excited.

   Good guy.

  He was worrying about supplies. Someone brought him a pillow so soon?

   In less than a minute, Chu Guang made a decision in his heart.

   Never let this piece of fat slip away from under your nose!

  Fang Chang and Ye Shi were still on the truck and didn't dare to stay on the forum for too long. After getting off the line and learning about the situation from Lao Bai, they went back online again.

  …

Chu Guang thought for a moment, made a decisive decision, and decided to take the initiative in the war. He issued a mission to the remaining three members of the Niu Ma team through the VM, ordering them to get off the car immediately, set up an observation point near the Zhongzhou Aerospace Experiment Base, and closely monitor the group of predators. their trends.

  Want to build an outpost on Lao Tzu's doorstep?

  Dream!

  Chu Guang then sent a message to Luca, asking him to mobilize all 5 trucks before dark and wait for orders in the northern industrial area of ​​the outpost.

   At this time, there was a knock on the door of the office.

  I saw Yin Fang pushed open the door and walked in from the outside with a face full of anxiety.

   "Something happened!"

   "Our scientific expedition team at the front encountered predators!"

  Chu Guang said calmly.

   "Your news is too slow, I knew it ten minutes ago."

   Looking at Chu Guang with a calm face, Yin Fang was slightly stunned and said cautiously.

   "I have to remind you that if they take the fuel rods there... all our efforts over the past week have been in vain, and we have to find a suitable target again."

  Chu Guang said.

   "I know, but for now, fuel rods are not very dangerous."

   Yin Fang asked.

"What's the meaning……"

"Those looters have set up camp there, and judging from the size of their personnel and the deployment of supplies, they presumably intend to use it as a base of operations... If my guess is correct, they should be the 'bite bones' who have suddenly risen recently. 'tribe."

   If nothing else, they should plan to establish a stronghold in the Central Continent Aerospace Experiment Base as a bridgehead for a full-scale invasion of the southern river valley province.

   As Fang Chang said, they had no intention of taking the fuel rods at all.

   They themselves are going to the ecological experimental base!

When    was talking, Chu Guang couldn't help but sigh.

   I didn't expect these people to come so quickly...

   After hearing Chu Guang's words, Yin Fang's expression changed slightly and he said nervously.

   "Isn't that more serious?"

   "They've written their goals on their faces. Do you think I'll let them succeed? There are more than 100 people, and it's not the first time I've killed a bandit."

   Looking at Yin Fang, who was slightly stunned, Chu Guang smiled lightly and continued.

   "The reconnaissance team has been deployed near those looters. Just before you walked into my office, I have mobilized all the trucks at the base, and will soon mobilize another 200 reservists to form a reinforced company."

   "Since they put their feet in front of my house, they must have made plans to leave the legs and shoes together."

   "Wait till it gets dark and I'll teach them a hard lesson!"

  …

  Old Bai, who was trapped in the "prison cell" and couldn't get out, looked around boredly. Occasionally, when he heard a movement, he walked to the window and glanced outside, then returned to the bed and sat down.

   It's just past noon in the game, and now it's the early morning in reality, even if he goes back, he's still sleeping, and he may not be able to sleep.

   Might as well just stay here in a daze.

   Speaking of those looters, it's also quite interesting.

   When standing by the window to observe, Lao Bai found that these NPCs have their own life trajectories, just like the cousins ​​in the wilderness.

  For example, the looter who was standing guard at the entrance of the experimental base was a smoker. Every time the chief was away, he would take out half of the cigarette **** and sniff it twice, then stuff it back into his pocket.

   The drivers leaning on the side of the truck were probably of higher status, and no one cared about them.

   There was also a raider sitting on the stone steps, rubbing something on the slug of a bullet with a knife.

   By the way, does anyone really believe in that kind of urban legend?

   Carving a cross on the bullet can increase damage.

   At this time, Lao Bai suddenly discovered through the small hole in the tent that a behemoth about four meters long had been carried out from the main door downstairs.

   "Dead Claw!"

   A look of surprise appeared on Lao Bai's face.

   "These people actually killed Deathpaw?"

   It should be inaccurate to say kill it.

   If you look carefully, although the Death Claw is covered with shocking scars, it has not completely died, and it seems that there is still a breath left.

   There is a row of tents on the back of Building 2, which is close to where the trucks unload supplies.

  Several raiders worked together and carried it on a stretcher into a spacious tent.

   Just when Lao Bai was thinking about what they were going to do, he soon saw an ugly old man walking in with their hind feet.

   For some reason, Old Bai always felt that the old man in the thick coat had a slightly different temperament from the surrounding predators.

  What do you say?

   This guy looks mysterious.

   If the surrounding looters are compared to goblins, then this old man is at least a goblin witch doctor.

   "Are they going to heal Deathpaw?"

  Old Bai's face was full of weirdness.

   Not so much, right?

  …

  Xiaoqi's drone returned and brought back the aerial photos of the Marauder's camp. From several photos, at least one company of Marauders was stationed at the Central Continent Aerospace Laboratory.

   To put it bluntly, a maximum of 150 people and a minimum of 100 people.

   They are scattered in several laboratory buildings.

   Someone patrolling with a dog.

   As for the supply, from the aerial photos, it really looks like there are 1,000 people, and the unloading point is near Building 2.

  Those looters seem to be planning to hide the supplies in the building, so the cleanup of the slime molds in Building 2 began.

  Ye Ten established an observation point nearby and set up a sniper rifle. The agile Fang Chang has visual enhancements and acts as an observer. Gu Feng was in ambush nearby, taking care of the two chrysanthemums while taking a look at the forum from time to time.

  Old Bai, who was taken as a prisoner, has become their eyes in the raider camp, always paying attention to the distribution of personnel in the camp.

   However, since the entire experimental base itself was built on a relatively high terrain, surrounded by ruins and jungles, the sniper, Ye Shi, did not have a very good field of vision.

   However, it doesn't matter.

   The mission they received was not to squat at a high place to shoot black guns, but to monitor the patrols scattered outside the stronghold and provide cover for players approaching the stronghold.

   If you find a high threat target, such as a Heavy or a jerk, kill him before it threatens our units.

   Wasteland time at 8pm.

   Five light trucks delivered 200 players to the theater in two batches, and assembled at a distance of 1 km from the Zhongzhou Aerospace Ecological Experiment Base.

   This operation was led and directed by Chu Guang himself, and he arrived at the front line with 6 guards to supervise the battle.

   In addition, Vanus, the former commander of the legion, was also allowed to go to the front.

   This is his own request, the reason is that he wants to see with his own eyes how the people who once defeated them on the battlefield fought.

  Chu Guang agreed to his request, took him beside him, and allowed him to watch the battle.

   I happen to need a staff officer myself, so I don’t necessarily have to refer to his advice, but his actual combat experience may come in handy at critical times.

The southwest side of the    experimental base is Qingquan City, so this is also the key defense area for those looters.

   A machine gun was placed on the third floor of Building 1, the window was stuffed with sandbags as a cover, and the muzzle of the gun was facing the gate of the experimental base where the checkpoint was placed.

   There are sandbags piled up near the checkpoint, and you can crouch behind the sandbags and shoot down the forest below the slope.

   In addition, about thirty slaves in shackles were building simple shelters and fortifications in the base under the surveillance of a ten-man team.

   It can be seen that this group of predators is very cautious.

   Even the possibility of air and artillery bombardment was considered, and he even knew how to dig foxholes in the old lair.

  Chu Guang reckoned that those foxholes and shelters should not be aimed at him, and most likely it was to beware of the planes of Boulder City, or something else.

   On the other hand, the east side of the experimental base is their weak defense area, with only 2 patrols and no heavy firepower deployment.

   Maybe because the terrain here is flat and the bunkers are sparse, they are confident that they can react quickly when they encounter an attack in this direction, and drive the truck with the machine gun on the top.

   However, they were not facing ordinary opponents.

  Vanus looked at Chu Guang, who was wearing power armor, and said with a strange expression.

   "You plan to go to the front yourself?"

  Chu Guang glanced at him.

   "Did I say so?"

  Vanus glanced at the thick breastplate, the hammer and Gauss rifle on his back, and slowly shook his head.

"No."

   To be honest, he has fought hundreds of battles, big and small, but this is the first time he has seen a commander who has armed himself into a tin can.

   That guy Luyan doesn't count.

   In his eyes, that is not a commander at all.

  Chu Guang ignored him, his index finger touched the helmet lightly, and the orange floating window was projected on the tactical eyepiece of the helmet.

The    information is also updated on the players' VMs!
