This Game is Too Real

   Chapter 240 Alpha 1.0 version update! Epic enhancements to life career gameplay!

   "MMP!"

   "Let these beasts run away."

   Standing on the edge of the forest on the northeast side of Yumu District, Chu Guang held the binoculars in his hand and looked at Yuanxi Town hundreds of meters away. He couldn't help but curse.

   A few days ago, the crawler of the guard team patrolled the entire northern suburbs, searching for six fleeing centenarians. Three of them were wiped out, but more than half of the raiders were still allowed to escape.

  Chu Guang guessed that some of the predators should have ran to Lion Fang and brought him the news of the defeat of the Black Snake.

   It's just that what he didn't expect was that these people were so stubborn.

   Not only did A come up, but turned around and ran away!

   "Fight if you can, and run if you can't. It's very similar to the style of those predators."

  Standing beside Chu Guang, Vanus also held the telescope and continued to say after observing for a while.

   "...but these fortifications are very legion-like."

  The looters fortified the ruins with wood, dug trenches in the streets, and set up barricades and shelters.

  It was transformed into a fortress.

   On a three-story ruin, he even saw gun emplacements reinforced with sandbags and wood.

   Judging from the reserved "concave" shooting holes, it is probably some kind of curved infantry gun.

   However, the guns there have been removed.

   "It can be seen that they evacuated very hastily, and only had time to set a fire... Most of the fortifications did not have time to destroy."

  Chu Guang put away the telescope and tapped his index finger on the side of the helmet.

   "Queue 1, move forward."

"receive."

   Liu Ding, who was standing 500 meters ahead, received the order and made a gesture to the player beside him.

   After receiving the order, 5 teams of 50 people immediately moved forward and entered this abandoned town from five directions.

   Wearing an exoskeleton with welded steel plates, Lao Bai held an LD-47j light machine gun in his hand, and the muzzle moved around the window on the street.

   There was also a two-meter-long "lance" hanging on his back, but this fighting distance should not be used.

   "It's so quiet here."

   "The looters stationed here should have evacuated," Fang Chang glanced at the human skulls on the side of the road, then looked around alertly and said, "The whole town doesn't look like there are living people."

  Bloodstained graffiti on the wall, as well as some crooked words and symbols.

   looks like some kind of evil religious ritual.

   Unfinished corpses were thrown on the side of the road, and filth can be seen everywhere on the street, and the ground is in a mess.

   Ye Shi swallowed.

   The atmosphere here was so depressing that he felt suffocated.

   He'd rather have a head-to-head fight with the predators than explore a place that made him feel physically uncomfortable.

   "Damn, how does it feel like a horror game..."

   Gu Feng glanced around and nodded expressionlessly.

   "Well, Resident Evil Silent Hill...similar feeling."

  The surroundings are too quiet.

   Not to mention being alive.

   Not even a mouse was seen.

The group of    continued to advance along the route indicated on the VM, and cooperated with other teams to conduct a round of searches for the outer area of ​​the entire town.

   After confirming that there were no looters, they continued along the main road and advanced to the very center of the town.

  There is a clock tower here, with a wide view around it, it is the tallest building in the whole town, probably used by those looters as a headquarters or something similar.

   pushed open the wooden door of the clock tower, and Lao Bai, who was in the front row, walked in first, but was quickly smoked out by the stench inside.

"Oh shit……"

   "What did you see." Ye Shi walked up curiously.

   "I advise you better not to look at it."

  Old Bai just said this sentence, but it was already too late. Ye Shi, who walked in through the door, already held the door and yue up.

  In the hall of the bell tower, corpses were piled up into a hill.

  The buzzing of flies was like a tsunami, black things were crawling on the corpse piles, and the hot air wafted the stench of rotting. It seems that the whole town's cockroaches have come here, the small ones are as big as fists, and the big ones are bigger than shoes...

   Gu Feng went in and took a look, and was slightly stunned.

   "This is too..."

   This visual impact.

   Even if there is a filter, it is somewhat mentally polluted.

   is like a nightmare.

   "...I feel that the public test is far away. If I don't change the blood and corpses into green squares, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end." The elf king Fugui said with a smack of his tongue.

  Irena gave him a vague look.

   "Be confident and get rid of the feeling."

  …

   After an hour of carpet searching, it was basically confirmed that the thousand-man team stationed in Yuanxi Town had been evacuated.

   And it was evacuated about three days ago, and the target was Xizhou City, which is due north.

Before the    evacuation, the looters executed all the slaves, sprinkled their corpses with worm eggs, burned supplies that were too late to take, and even set a fire on the fortifications.

   However, most of the wooden bunkers and barricades survived due to lack of fuel, except for the burnt food.

   If you wait another half a month, the whole town may become a paradise for mutant cockroaches and flies.

   Although those "little guys" are not strong enough to pose a direct threat to wastelanders, they are quite good at spreading diseases and stealing supplies.

   Obviously, Lionfang did not want this "fortress" to fall into the hands of the survivors of the northern suburbs, so he tried to prevent them from occupying it through such a method.

  Chu Guang ordered the player to set a fire in the clock tower and burn the aliens and corpses inside.

   It is nearly 30 kilometers from here to the outpost, and it is too difficult and cost-effective to recover these corpses.

  The two active substance extractors have been working 24 hours, and the production tasks have been scheduled from the beginning of the month to the end of the month.

   At least for a while, you don’t have to worry about resurrection coins.

   Standing at the north intersection of Yuanxi Town, the wrench spread out a map in front of Chu Guang, and used a marker to mark several red crosses along the contour line.

"... It is nearly 20 kilometers from Yuanxi Town to the southernmost point of Xizhou City. There are hills and forests along the way. Although there are three roads from the pre-war era, they are basically abandoned. If they plan to move towards us from the north, the marching route is quite similar. limited."

   "I propose to build an operation base in Yuanxi Town, set up a radio base station, and build outposts along the northern hills, set up radio stations and communication equipment, and closely monitor the movement in the north!"

  Chu Guang stared at the map for a while, then looked at the forest-covered hill to the north. The snow covered the treetops was connected into one piece, and only a few abandoned high-voltage electricity towers and a few relics of unknown use could be seen in the vast white snow.

   There is a good view and the surrounding terrain is open.

   If an outpost can be established on the top of that hill, it should not be a problem to bring an area of ​​five kilometers or even ten kilometers into view.

  The only thing to worry about is the alien species in the forest.

  Like monsters, cave beasts, mutant brown bears, wild boars, apes, and even death claw, are very likely to haunt the forest.

  Each post must deploy at least two machine guns and one 20mm cannon, and two iron fist bazookas.

   This should ensure the safety of the sentry.

   nodded lightly, Chu Guang said.

   "That's a good suggestion. How many people do you think is appropriate to station?"

  Wrench thought for a moment and said.

   "Three people are standing at the outpost, and there are two shifts a day. 30 people should be enough!"

  Chu Guang picked up the marker and added three marks on the map, then returned the map to the wrench.

   "I will give you 50 people, and the number of outposts will be increased from 5 to 8. Be sure to keep an eye on this area!"

   "If there is any situation, report to me in time."

  The job of standing guard can only be handed over to the guards, and players cannot do boring jobs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

   He plays games by himself and can squat for a day for a boss, but it is impossible to squat all the time.

   However, it is possible to release some tasks related to Yuanxi Town, and divert a group of hunters, scavengers, explorers, and life professional players to this area, and the number of people is controlled between 20 and 90.

   With the fixed sentry of the NPC, it should be foolproof.

   He clasped his fists with both hands, and the wrench led the way.

"Yes!"

The plains of the    River Valley Province are mainly concentrated at the north and south ends, which traverse the east and west in the form of a belt on the map, and are the transportation hub from the eastern provinces to the western provinces.

   is like two corridors.

   The large area sandwiched by two corridors is dominated by hills and gentle slopes, with a few plains scattered sporadically.

  The cities before the war were also mostly on these plains, or at least with the plains as the center, spreading out to the hills along the contour lines.

  The survivors of Qingquan City are mostly doing well, and a large part of the reason is that they happen to be located at the transportation hub connecting the east and the west, and there are large plains here.

   Unless the road is blocked by heavy snow, there are usually many caravans passing through the northern or southern suburbs of Qingquan City, and they usually bring a lot of good things.

  The location of Yuanxi Town is right at the northernmost edge of Yumu District, which is also the northernmost side of this southern corridor.

   Crossed the hills to the north and continued to walk for more than 20 kilometers, which is Xizhou City controlled by the Ya clan.

   Whether it is to protect the safety of farmland and Changchang Farm, or to ensure the smooth flow of trade routes, the strategic location of Yuanxi Town must be controlled.

   "If I were a bone-chewing tribe, I would wait until the fall to come back."

   Vanus, who was standing beside Chu Guang, glanced at the direction to the north and continued.

   "Would you like to consider deploying a 100mm gun on the hills? That thing has average anti-armor capabilities, but it's no problem to blow up an infantryman or break a track."

  Chu Guang looked at him and said.

   "I'm planning to do this. How far can your legion's artillery go?"

  Vanus thought for a moment to answer.

"The effective range is 11 kilometers, but sometimes it can hit 13 kilometers. If it is a rocket extended-range projectile, the range may be doubled, but I looked at the batch of shells you captured, and it seems that they are all ordinary high-explosive shells. bomb."

   When attacking the Pioneer before, the two howitzers he used were 100mm cannons of the regiment standard. They were deployed in the forest of Yumu District and hit Changchang Farm more than ten kilometers away.

   It's just that the two guns didn't play a role.

   Not only did most of the projectiles fired were intercepted by the higher-tech point defense system, but later they were locked by drones and sent to the sky by the company's employees with two metal hydrogen cannonballs.

   But there is one thing to say. Compared with the high-tech equipment that is expensive to manufacture and maintain, this kind of cheap, easy-to-use, simple, rude and powerful large-caliber artillery is more suitable for the environment on the wasteland.

   After all, it would be a waste to use metal hydrogen to deal with predators.

   is equivalent to hitting a cockroach with a submachine gun.

   After leaving Wrench, Liu Ding and other guards here, Chu Guang took the players home.

  The whole winter of fighting and fighting has finally opened up space for development.

   Now that spring is here, if you don’t farm, you will starve to death.

   After returning to the shelter, Chu Guang first opened the shelter system, entered the manager allowance page, and confirmed the reward points.

   Due to the diligent work of the players during this period, the reward points consumed in the celebration some time ago have returned a lot of blood, and now there are a full 271 points.

   "It's time to open the blind box again."

   After some deliberation, Chu Guang selected 2 advanced blind boxes, 5 intermediate blind boxes, and 21 elementary blind boxes.

   With the slight shaking of the wall, the alloy door opened, and the reward from the blind box was quickly sent out along the conveyor belt.

   Looking at the things on the conveyor belt, a surprised expression appeared on Chu Guang's face.

"This is……"

   It was a set of jet-black exoskeletons with blue lines visible on the surface. The shape was a bit similar to the five-style exoskeleton, but it was not small in size, a circle larger than the five-style feet.

   As an inappropriate but vivid analogy, if the five-type exoskeleton is compared to a basketball uniform, then this set is a football uniform. Heavy composite panels hang from the chest, and scale-like armor linings cover almost 90 percent of the body.

[Six-type "heavy cavalry" police exoskeleton: The five-type improved model has stronger bulletproof ability than the five-type "light cavalry" exoskeleton. It can not only resist the shooting of light weapons, but also resist explosions to a certain extent. shock wave and fragmentation damage. 】

   "Something."

  Chu Guang put it on his body with great interest and moved his limbs.

  The power source is probably a chemical battery such as azide or solid hydrogen, and the battery life is 24 hours under normal use.

  Compared with nuclear powered power armor, this thing is more suitable for daily wear, and it can be recharged when the electricity is used up, so there is no need to look for cold fusion batteries everywhere.

   As for the other advanced blind box, the reward is very general, it is an EMP grenade.

   So far, the things opened in the advanced blind box are the most useless.

The    intermediate blind box and primary blind box are not bad, including two healing needles, two boxes of bandages, a box of antibiotics, and a lot of canned food, portable food and condiments.

   "Unfortunately, no seeds were produced this time."

   It would be perfect if you could unlock a few more high-yielding crops!

   After confirming the reward, Chu Guang came to the office to sit down, turned on the computer, and went to the official website for a walk.

   Today's little players are still the same as always.

  The two directors of the No. 81 Steel Plant are having a heated discussion with the cloud players, whether to change the 20mm cannon into a 37mm rapid-fire cannon, in order to increase the charge of the cannonball and produce a greater explosion effect.

Mosquito drew a picture with a pencil that only he could understand, showing the new equipment being developed by Goblin Technology--a armor with cracked claw crab shell, powered by a wood engine, equipped with an 88mm short-tube mortar Cannon and a "crab tank" with a 20mm cannon!

   Although everyone complained about whether this thing could hold a tank, Mosquito still insisted that this is the equipment that meets the needs of the wasteland.

   "How can there be so much steel for tanks! And this is a wasteland, brothers, how can there be so many tanks for you?"

   "Obviously what we need is a heavy equipment that can quickly harvest soft targets and traverse rough terrain. It doesn't need a lot of protection, as long as it can protect against bullets."

"The Crackclaw Crab's shell perfectly fits this need! With its eight robotic legs, it can cross ravines, pits, and cover like a spider, clearing the way for our entire line of troops to provide direct fire support! Even deathclaws, You have to run away like a reptile in front of an 88mm mortar!"

   Human Stroke Chef: "Although I don't understand it at all, it sounds great."

  Professor Yang: "How do you plan to coordinate the movement of the eight mechanical legs? And what if one breaks? If you want me to say, it's better to just put on the track, or get a big tire, just like an off-road vehicle!"

  WC really has mosquitoes: "Hehe, I want you to take care of it! Father has his own way!"

  Highland security guard: "You guys should hurry up and tidy up the plane. Get a piston-propeller plane. It's not as fragrant as this thing? It's more than enough to be able to wash the floor, investigate, and fight a few bandits."

  The Great Ivan of Siberia: "Go directly to the airship! That thing throws a lot of bombs, and several tons of explosives are thrown down!"

  WC really has mosquitoes: "MMP! It's easy to say, come in and get it!"

Ya Er, I want to go to the toilet: "But I have to say one thing, you can try a wooden plane. I remember that the big Mosquito bomber seems to be made of wood and glue. Furniture factories can do it. Only the engine and landing gear are still available. Some of the connecting parts are made of metal, which can carry 4,000 pounds of bombs, and the speed is particularly fast, comparable to the bf109, but it is a bit expensive for the pilot."

  Ward beriberi who Levin: "Old Maozi's Bo-2 biplane seems to be a wooden plane, and it has been in service for half a century."

  Irena: "Charlie from Chapu? (funny

   Looking at the content exchanged by these little players, Chu Guang felt very relieved.

  Aircraft.

   That's a good thing.

   Build an airstrip at Changchang Farm, and it should be no problem to fly to Xizhou City.

  Take a few photos in the sky at that time to learn about the military deployment of the "Tooth" clan of the bone-chewing tribe in that area, so as to deal with the next attack.

   I'm not sure, but I can still find an opportunity to counterattack in the past.

   However, this is not in a hurry.

   The worst is over, Vault 404 has been fighting for a whole winter, and now what is most needed is development.

   After entering February, there will be a large wave of caravans passing through Qingquan City, and the buff of permanent corporate partners will soon come in handy.

   Before that, he needs to be fully prepared to seize this historic opportunity.

   "The food seized from the black snake should not be a problem to raise another 300 people."

   "Although it's a month ahead of schedule, it's time for manpower."

   "The Refuge needs more professional life players, especially players who have farming experience in reality."

   "It's time to release Alpha 1.0."

   It is not difficult to filter out these players.

Now the number of reservations has nearly exceeded 100,000. According to the questionnaire, it is more than enough to select 300 players with user labels such as "agriculture-related occupations or majors", "farming tendencies", "business game enthusiasts", and "Liver Emperor". .

   There is no need for these 300 people to go to farm the fields obediently.

   This is neither realistic nor in line with the logic of the game.

   But as long as 1/10 of these people, even 1/20 of them can be like Brother Maca, they can't wait to stay in the fields 24 hours a day, which is enough for Chu Guang.

  It is best that these players can combine their real-life experience to improve agricultural tools and planting techniques and bring them to the wasteland.

   Now that the industrial zone has been able to independently produce pot camel machines, mosquitoes are starting to make crab chariots. It should not be a problem to build two tractors before the spring ploughing starts.

   With some other cheap and easy-to-use tools, as long as they can solve 1/3 of the production tasks, they can already help managers a lot!

   After thinking for a while, Chu Guang opened the text document and edited a line of words in it.
