This Game is Too Real

  Chapter 31 Encountered Marauders! Player's first battle!

  The use of acetic acid, acetone, and methanol is quite extensive.

  These chemicals are essential if Refuge Outpost is to truly start industrializing.

Although    was temporarily unavailable, Chu Guang gave the player [WC Really Has Mosquito] a reward of 1000 contribution points, and announced his outstanding contribution to "using wood as a raw material to successfully prepare acetic acid, acetone, and methanol".

   By the way, is this a full server announcement in an online game novel?

   Looking at [WC Really Has Mosquitoes] with a proud face and the envious expressions of other players, Chu Guang felt that he had to keep this fine tradition.

Um.

  Not just in games.

  The official website must also be announced!

   In the future, you can also get a Hall of Fame, in which you can write down "a certain player has achieved a certain achievement on a certain day, a certain month, a certain year".

   This kind of achievement can be solving a development problem or clearing a difficult dungeon.

  As a poor ruler, a cheap sense of honor is the only cost-effective reward he can give players.

  After finishing the work, Chu Guang took Ye Shi and Jun Jun to continue their exploration north along the out-of-city elevated road outside the Wetland Park.

   While searching for traces of prey, find valuable exploration targets.

  The industrial clusters of Qingquan City are mainly concentrated in the southeast corner of the city, distributed in a fan shape along the Third Ring Road and the Second Ring Road.

   The northern part of Linghu Wetland Park is mainly residential areas, and many unfinished buildings can be seen along the out-of-city road.

   In addition to the relatively complete public facilities such as education, medical care, and transportation, this area has not formed a large-scale industrial cluster. There are only some small light industry workshops scattered in the suburbs far away from residential buildings, and neighbors with waste incineration stations.

   And now, they are mostly covered by forest.

  When the nuclear war came, the northern suburbs of Qingquan City were hardly directly hit by strategic weapons due to their huge population base and extremely low strategic value.

   But on the contrary, after the total collapse of order, the huge number of refugees brought disaster in another sense.

  Supermarkets, convenience stores, vegetable markets, and shopping malls were quickly looted, followed by hospitals, schools, office buildings, and even all the shops along the street, and even every refrigerator and locker in the house.

   There is no sanctuary that will risk their own safety to open the floodgates to accept them, and it is impossible to do so, and the complete paralysis of traffic makes it difficult for these people to leave here.

   Even today, two hundred years later, the tragedies that once happened here can be seen from the bullet holes in the wall and the broken glass.

   There are still incompletely weathered skeletons hanging on some display windows, next to the shelves, in the trash cans.

   "Hi...this is too miserable."

   Looking at the two skeletons, one big and one small, who were hugging each other, Trash Jun couldn't bear to look away and closed the open trash bin door.

   Ye Shi's reaction was quite calm. After all, it wasn't the first time that he followed Chu Guang out. He had long been accustomed to the situation here, and even commented on the air of an old player.

   "One thing to say, the scene design of this game is still in place... It's like it's really in the post-apocalyptic world."

   "This is the post-apocalyptic world."

  Chu Guang replied casually, carefully observing the situation in the shop window, and made a mark on the paper map.

   This should be a clothing store.

   However, there were not many clothes left on the shelves, and the only two rags hanging were covered with black mold.

   Apparently, scavengers visited this place a long time ago.

   And there are more than one wave.

   "...I think we're wasting our efforts," Ye Shi said with a sigh, "Obviously, this place has been looted."

   "You can always find something useful...such as this thing." He found a box of unopened sewing kits from behind the almost smashed cabinet, and Chu Guang threw it into Ye Shi's hands.

  The needle should be an alloy material, and the thread should be rayon. There is no problem of oxidation if it is not unpacked. Not to mention two hundred years, it can be used even after another two hundred years.

   These gadgets are what the outpost lacks the most at the moment.

  Teng Teng should be interested in it.

  There is nothing left to search, and the group prepares to withdraw from this store.

   However, at this moment, there was a mournful howl in the distance, followed by two gunshots.

   Listen to the sound, like a 5mm bullet.

  Chu Guang was instantly alert, took off the iron-barreled rifle from behind, and ducked under the shadow of the wall, carefully following the source of the sound.

   On a street corner not far away, under the slanted billboard, a man in a gray coat was shot and fell to the ground, his face moving backwards in horror.

   Blood seeped from his back and flowed all over the place.

   "... scavengers?"

   After waiting for a while, another figure came around the corner.

   I saw a gunman wearing an animal skin coat, biting half a cigarette, holding an iron-barreled rifle made of garbage, and walking towards the man lying on the ground begging for mercy.

   A man and a dog followed behind him.

   I saw that the accomplice was also holding a rifle with a similar shape in his hand, a fire axe hanging from his waist, and a dog chain on the other side.

  Chu Guang's pupils contracted slightly.

   In less than a second, he quickly determined the identity of the two.

   Raiders!

   "What's going on outside?" Ye Shi approached from the side and asked in a low voice.

   He thought he was already quiet, but his concealment skills were still more than a little weaker.

   "Shhh!"

   Chu Guang just had time to make a silent gesture when he saw the mutant hyena with an iron chain around his neck turning his head instantly and barking at him twice.

  Chu Guang's face changed instantly.

  Fuck!

   This beast's skill points are all added to the perception? !

   In the blink of an eye, the two predators also looked at them instantly, reacting very quickly, raising the rifles in their hands and firing.

  Clap!

   There were two consecutive gunshots, and Chu Guang quickly retracted his head, but soon he realized that he was just thinking too much.

   80% of the DIY rifles are not rifled.

   It was a street away, so I felt lonely. Sure enough, a few bullets didn't even touch the door next to me, and they all landed on the concrete road.

   "A firefight?! What's the situation?! Have we run into a mutant?!" The garbage gentleman hiding in the shop was not panic at all, and even excitedly geared up.

  Ye Shi did the same, he pulled out the javelin immediately.

   "Don't panic, I'll take a look first—"

   "Look at the fart!"

   Seeing that these two guys didn't know anything about fear, Chu Guang's nose was about to crook with anger, so he freed his hand to hold Ye Shi's head and pressed him back.

   "It's a predator! Both have guns and a dog! You retreat from the back door, we will meet in front of the bus stop 300 meters away due south—"

   "Dear Manager, why are we retreating? The opposite is just two people plus a beast, and we have no less people than them!" Junk Jun clenched his fists, "We can also fight!"

   "That's right! We can fight!"

Ye Shi also nodded excitedly, picked up the crossbow the manager had just dropped, and said with high morale, "Although we only have a gun, we still have a Molotov cocktail... and this two-meter-tall lizard, I don't believe it. He still can't beat a dog."

   Hearing these words, Chu Guang, who was nervous, instantly came to his senses.

Yup.

  What are you running?

  In the past, I was alone, with my head tied to my trousers and belts to open up wasteland outside. It was normal to hide when I encountered such vicious bandits.

   Now if you want guns and guns, and people and people, you’re running a chicken!

   Besides, there are only two people on the opposite side.

  Chu Guang's reaction was also very fast, he made a decision immediately, and at the same time he pulled the bolt to load the bullet.

   Fuck him!

   "You, take the Molotov cocktail over there." Chu Guang threw the Molotov cocktail and the match into Ye Shi's hands, and pointed at the diagonally opposite street corner.

   "Listen to my instructions, as soon as the gun on my side goes off, you fire it and throw it away!"

   The other party doesn't know how many people there are on his side, and if he sees someone rushing out, he will definitely chase.

   Ye Shi, who took the Molotov cocktail, was stunned.

   "I, how should I get there."

   "Run over, or you still want me to carry you over there? Don't worry, their guns are not rifled, so they won't hit you." After speaking, Chu Guang reached out and pushed him.

   Night Eleven stumbled to the door.

  Although he panicked a lot, thinking that this was an opportunity to show off in front of the manager, he gritted his teeth, and still bit the bullet.

Oh shit.

Fight!

   Afraid of a der in the game!

   Sure enough, just as Chu Guang had expected, seeing Ye Shi rushing out of the shop, the two looters immediately let out a strange scream and fired two shots at him.

   "Haha, my little darling, where are you going?"

   "Give it up, you can't run away, and now you can spare your life by surrendering!"

   Ye Shi couldn't understand what these people were talking about, he just felt the bullets swishing across his scalp and flying.

   He didn't dare to stop for a moment, didn't dare to look up, and rushed into the shop on the other side of the street.

   The two predators looked at each other, smiled evilly, pressed their guns in front and back, and let go of the dog leash.

   has no gun on him.

   Eighty percent of them are scavengers who pick up trash in this neighborhood.

   Crushing a scavenger to death is no different to them than crushing a cockroach.

   Chu Guang, who was hiding in the shop, was motionless, quietly waiting for the opportunity.

   Hearing the bark getting closer, he suddenly leaned out halfway, aimed at the dashing mutant hyena and pulled the trigger.

boom!

The   9mm bullet burst out, and there was no way to dodge at a distance of less than five meters, and it slammed through the beast's waist—

   Although Chu Guang aimed at the head.

   Before he could even let out a scream, the hyena fell to the ground head-on, rolled two meters and stopped moving.

   The predator who rushed to the vicinity was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting the other party to have a gun.

   When he came back to his senses, the partner he had been with day and night had died tragically, and the expression on his face was instantly distorted by anger.

   "I'm going to strip you alive!"

   "Joan, calm down! There's more than one other person—"

   Before that voice could be heard, a molotov cocktail was thrown over and slammed onto the wreckage of the scrap car behind the two of them.

  The flames shot up along with the scattered glass fragments.

   Seeing that the other party actually had a Molotov cocktail, the looters hurriedly avoided, and the intention to retreat was already in their hearts. However, they were blocked by the flames, but they had no way to retreat for a while, and fell into a passive dilemma.

   At this moment, one of the looters, with the corner of his eye, suddenly caught a glimpse of a terrifying figure from under the eaves of a street-side shop.

   It was a dark green skinned lizard.

   Or, humanoid lizards.

"monster--"

  嗖——!

   A cracking sound broke the plunderer's words, and the javelin pierced directly through his chest, nailing him to the burning waste car behind him.

   Until the last moment of his life, he did not understand why that long and alien-like monster would mix with the scavengers.

   He had heard of domestication of mutant hyenas as pets, and even of bears and horses, but this was the first time he had heard that someone could domesticate such things.

   This is outrageous too!
