This Game is Too Real

   Chapter 375 Legion and Heart of Steel!

  The thick and long barrel spurted flames, and the two soldiers were torn apart in an instant.

   The explosion of gunpowder almost shattered Herrick's eardrums, and he fled to the back of the bunker in embarrassment. Just as he was about to return fire with a gun, he saw a brother hit the whistling claws.

   Flesh and blood flying!

   The big white bear seemed to be taken aback by his fierce impact, not to mention the soldiers in black cloaks.

   "Spread!!"

   Seeing that the two brothers died tragically under the fire of the machine gun in an instant, Herrick raised the muzzle angrily and shot a shuttle towards the front of the car.

  The bullet hit the welded steel plate at the front of the machine gun, making a clanging sound, but it didn't work at all, leaving only a string of sparks and pitted dents.

   "giao!"

  The tail shrank his head in a conditioned reflex, nimbly dodged the bullets that were shot, and held the machine gun with both hands without panic.

   It was Sesame Paste sitting in the driver's seat, who was startled by the bullets that were shot in the air.

"ah!!"

   She subconsciously buried her head under the steering wheel, and the soles of her feet were firmly welded to the accelerator.

   Looking at the oncoming truck and the steel plate that couldn't be pierced at all, there was a hint of despair in Herrick's eyes, who was holding the submachine gun.

  Especially when he saw the thick long barrel on the roof aimed at himself.

   For a moment, his heart froze.

However--

   It wasn't the bullets that made him lose consciousness in the end.

   It was the front of the car that slammed straight into his chest.

   In the last moment of losing consciousness, he vaguely heard someone shouting something.

   Although I didn't understand it at all...

   "Awei! Stay alive!"

   "Oh! Received!"

  …

   Cold water splashed on his face.

  Herrick woke up from his coma and saw a black muzzle head on.

   "We always convince people with reason, so you'd better not act rashly."

  Siss returned this sentence to the guy lying on the ground, only to see that he was looking at him with eyes like a monster.

  emmm…

   She touched her chin with her left hand.

Is    so scary?

   She is quite satisfied with her game character.

"Scared me to death... We suddenly received a mission and said that you had an accident, and we rushed over immediately. I saw you were shot a lot just now, and my tail and I thought you were dead." Sesame got off the truck He walked over with a worried look on his face.

   "Thanks to the body armor, but it's just a few broken ribs."

  Siss said casually.

  Although she felt that the condition of her body was probably more than just a few broken ribs.

   However, such a serious internal and external injury has already recovered 30% to 40%.

   The physique system that was chosen in consideration of such a situation at the beginning, now looks like a very correct choice.

  Excessive pain sensation will be blocked, which is probably one of the most convenient functions of this game, which is equivalent to bringing your own tranquilizers and painkillers.

  Otherwise, no matter how high your physique points are, you won’t be able to bear the pain.

   "As expected of him! That line just now was so handsome!" Tails said with shining eyes.

   Rou Rou looked at her worriedly.

   "Does it really matter? You got so many shots..."

"fine."

  Siss had a soft smile on his face.

   "...Thanks to your timely arrival, I might have been captured if I was alone."

   "Especially Rou Rou, very brave!"

   "What to say... Seeing that my friend is having trouble, how could I shrink back."

   raised the cumbersome bear claw, and the shy flesh scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.

   As a result, his head was covered in blood.

   The sensational atmosphere has become a little bloody.

   However, at this moment, an untimely voice suddenly turned the topic in a strange direction.

   "giao! Captive, captive?! Will the plot in the book happen?!"

  Sesame paste looked blank: "Book?"

   Looking at someone with shining eyes, Si Si sighed helplessly.

   "Awei usually doesn't watch that kind of thing."

   "!!! Have you installed surveillance in my house?"

   "Hey, you woman... not easy."

  The gunshots and riots attracted people nearby, and the first to arrive were Kaliman and his guards.

  Although his head guard was strongly opposed to meddling in the wastelanders' strife, but remembering that he had promised to protect the safety of these people only a few minutes ago, he still rushed over.

   However, when he arrived here, he found that the battle was over.

   The wastelanders in black cloaks lay all over the place, and their death was extremely miserable.

A 10mm caliber machine gun hit a person, but it was more than a single bullet hole. The flesh and limbs torn by the huge kinetic energy were scattered around the wreckage of the tent, which made him feel that his stomach was turned upside down, and his face was light. whitish.

   "What happened here..."

   The guard with a beard on his face stepped forward and squatted on the ground.

   He stretched out his index finger and touched the face of one of the corpses, his expression suddenly solemn.

   "The Legion..."

   There are people of all skin color and hair color in the wasteland, but the only people who have the bulge between the bridge of the nose are the Legion.

  There is a saying that they used the DNA of ancient people, and there is also a saying that they made certain genetic modifications to make their noble lineage different.

   Legion...

  Kaliman chewed these two words over and over again, hatred in his eyes.

   At this time, the merchants, guards, and mercenaries who had been fleeing far away rushed back when they saw that the gunfire had stopped.

   Seeing the tragic situation on the ground, a businessman's face suddenly showed a painful expression.

   "Damn, what have you all done! My tent, my bag, my luggage... all destroyed by you."

   Looking at the truck parked next to the tent, several mercenaries with rifles on their backs surrounded them.

   "It's not just a few tents..." Sisi threw a few dinars on the ground, "Is it enough?"

   This amount of money is obviously not enough. The businessman wanted to say something, but was gently pulled by the guard next to him.

   "Those three little girls are awakened... If we really want to fight, we are afraid we will lose a lot."

   The merchant blushed and held a breath in his stomach, but he finally swallowed the breath, picked up the gold coins on the ground, and left silently.

  The residents nearby looked at this place from a distance, watching the liveliness.

The north side of   Katyn Station is the residence of business travelers. As long as bullets don't fly to their homes, no one will care about how many wastelanders have died.

   However, it has not been many years since the fight was as intense as today.

   Just as everyone was talking, an old man who was over fifty walked out of the crowd.

   His skin was dark, his face was covered with wrinkles, and he looked weather-beaten, but his body was still tough.

   The dozen or so strong men behind him also all look the same, with a revolver rifle on their backs.

   glanced at the corpse on the ground and the man lying on the ground, then glanced at the three people and one bear next to the truck, the old man slowly frowned and said.

   "My name is Mudeka, and I'm the village chief here."

   "Sisi, and there is Awei over there, sesame paste and meat."

   Sisshun also introduced herself to her companions, although she felt that the old man in front of her didn't care what their names were.

   And that's true, the old man didn't ask where they were from, he said straight.

   "This is a safe area. You broke the rules here, and you need to compensate the frightened residents, cattle and sheep in the village."

  Siss said with a blank expression.

   "Oh? Since it's a safe zone, why didn't they see you stand up before they started?"

   "I came over after hearing the gunshots. No matter what, you guys were driving around the camp, crushing tents and luggage, shooting with machine guns... it's too much."

   Hearing the half-understood tail, protested in dissatisfaction.

   "Hey, I didn't hurt innocent people-"

  Siss interrupted the explanation of the tail, stared at the old man, and said word by word.

   "This is a matter between the Alliance and the Legion. Are you sure you want to intervene?"

   She could see that the old man was trying to get something wrong from them.

  If I hadn’t thrown those dinars just now, maybe I wouldn’t have this trouble.

   Sure enough, when he heard the word alliance, the old man's attitude changed immediately.

   In those fierce and cunning eyes, there was an obvious fear and suspicion.

   Of course he had heard of the Alliance, and he had heard rumors from the east.

  The sudden rise of the Alliance stopped the Bonebiter tribe from heading south, ending a year of chaos in the River Valley Province.

   Before that, the towering giant wall was the only lighthouse within a radius of hundreds of miles.

   "...You are from the Alliance?"

  Siss looked at him and said.

"Yes."

  The old man's face was a little stiff, including the few strong men beside him.

   He really thought about cheating on these girls. After all, that truck was loaded with a lot of good things, and the compensation he asked for was justifiable.

   But now, things are different…

   Listening to the conversation of those few people, the surrounding survivors exchanged surprised glances.

   And the whispering voice spread to the surrounding with that line of sight.

   "Alliance? They turned out to be members of the Alliance."

   "I heard that the fighters of the alliance all have the courage of one to ten, and it took only a thousand people to conquer the bone-biting tribe."

   "No wonder..."

The strength of the    Alliance is definitely not as strong as the Legion, but it is their neighbor after all.

   And the Legion is half a continent away from here, on the far west coast.

   "I'm afraid this will be very tricky... From the alliance to us, the slowest is a week, and if it is fast, it may take two or three days." A middle-aged man lowered his head and whispered beside the old man.

   silently said "um", Mudeka stared intently at the young girl in front of him.

   After a while, he spoke slowly.

   "...We have no intention of interfering in your disputes, but we also hope that you will not interfere with our lives."

   said, he waved his dry right hand, and turned and walked away with the clansmen next to him.

   As for compensation, he never mentioned it again.

  Herik, who was lying on the ground, moved his eyes back and forth on the three and one bear.

   He hadn't heard of any alliance, nor was he interested in learning about it. At this moment, the thoughts in his head were spinning fast, thinking about how to escape the current situation.

   However, when his eyes stopped on the dark muzzle, he finally relaxed and tightened his shoulders and gave up the option of escaping.

   The strength displayed by the opponent has exceeded his understanding.

  Whether it was the woman who was shot several times like nothing, or the mysterious weapon that killed his five brothers in an instant.

   Up to now, he doesn't even know what that thing is.

   Maybe...

  Valley province has really changed a lot.

   "Are you sure you want to fight against the Legion?"

  Herrick lowered his voice, moved out the name of the Legion, and tried to threaten these people to let him go.

  Siss looked down at him.

   "Even if we don't have this plan, won't trouble come to us?"

   said, she shook the muzzle.

   "Don't waste my time, your name?"

   "Herrick..."

   "What do you want that Luo Hua to do?"

   The man's face sank slightly, and the corner of his mouth opened a slightly mocking arc.

   "Hehe, I want to—"

boom!

   The sudden burst of gunshots startled the surrounding survivors.

   Of course, the one who felt the smell of gunpowder most intuitively was the one lying on the ground.

  The bullet hit the ground next to his ear, and the splashed muddy water smeared half of his face.

   Looking at the smoking muzzle and the merciless eyes, Herrick felt a trace of coldness deep into his bones.

   "I, I was just about to say..." The voice that was brave one second before stuttered in disappointment the next.

   This is by no means fear, but subconscious instinct.

   "Then hurry up." Turning on the vm's recording function, Sisi urged impatiently.

   "...business, business people."

   "Of course I know the guy you are chasing is from a business, then what?"

  Herrick swallowed and continued speaking at a rapid pace.

   "...that moving fortress, stormed into the desert, and our servants heard what treasure they were looking for there, and whatever it was, we couldn't let them take it from our turf."

   "Servant?" Tail tilted his head.

"Falcon," interjected Carriman, who stepped aside with a gloomy expression on his face, "rules the kingdom of Oasis 2... a group of servile cowards who abandoned their dignity and faith and gave their souls to the Borderlands. barbarians."

Tail:"?"

   pressed his left hand to the slightly sore brow, Sisi said with a sigh.

   "...Is that what it means to be a servant country?"

  Kaliman nodded stiffly.

"……Yes."

  Siss was lost in thought.

   Combined with the discussion on the forum and the information published on the official website, she probably already understood the whole story.

   To put it simply, the vassals of the Legion discovered the Pioneer, and then reported the Pioneer's intelligence to the Legion.

   In order to prevent the company from mastering Vault 0, the Legion suspected that it sent an expedition force of unknown size to the desert, and cooperated with the locals to trap the mobile fortress.

   Although the Pioneer has powerful firepower, no matter how powerful the technology is, it cannot be created out of nothing.

   At least two things, electricity and mine, cannot be conjured out of thin air.

   And Herrick's next statement also confirmed her guess.

"...We surrounded them while the Pioneer was searching for supplies, and they had to withdraw to the ruins with fuel rods. Those power armors were strong, but they were limited in number, we quickly divided them and surrounded them, and some of them fled In the desert, some people were surrounded by ruins, and a few people were trapped in the fortress."

  Siss asked immediately.

   "You have occupied the Trailblazer?"

   Herrick replied.

"The battle is over, the occupation is only a matter of time, but what we want is not a pile of scrap metal. They set a code for the power room, we can't enter from the outside, and if we force a breakthrough, it will cause the remaining nuclear fuel to be injected into the self-destructing unit... ...then there is nothing."

   "That Luo Hua knows the password?"

"...I don't know, but he seems to be a key figure on the Trailblazer, and he seems to have some clues about Vault 0... The general ordered me to capture him before he joins up with the reinforcements from the enterprise. If caught If he doesn't live, he can take his head back."

   "Reinforcement..."

  Tail touched his chin, and his face looked thoughtful, "It's not easy, they actually knew that the company sent reinforcements."

   Sesame paste's expression is subtle.

   "...Uh, do you still need to guess this?"

   Staring at Herrick lying on the ground, Sis continued.

   "Tell me the number of the unit you belong to, the name of your superior, and how many people you sent into the desert."

   "Heart of Steel..."

"What?"

   "My unit," Herik swallowed and whispered, "Steel Heart... 29th Marine Corps, our commander is Captain McLenwan."

   "How far are they from here?"

"right here."

"here?!"

  Siss was stunned.

  Including tail, sesame paste and meat, as well as Kaliman and his guards all froze in place.

  Siss was about to ask, but saw Herrick, whose face was full of fear a second ago, and suddenly there was a hint of enthusiasm in his eyes.

   He looked straight at her.

   But the pupil did not focus on her face, but on the back of her head.

  Siss' eyes gradually had a bad premonition.

   "Just behind you...you'll know when you look back." A smile appeared on Herrick's face.

   Whatever he was proud of, Sith knew very well that it wasn't a "look, flying saucer" trick.

  From the beginning, the people watching the lively around turned their eyes away from this side and turned to the sky in the distance.

   And now, the unfamiliar faces are invariably dazed, hesitant and frightened.

   "That's...what?"

   "Whale, whale?"

   "The big horned deer **** is above..." Some herdsmen knelt on the ground, their foreheads pressed against the ground.

   Many mercenaries were at a loss, but some far-sighted traders recognized the guy.

   "The airship...is the airship of the Legion!"

   Looking at the northwest of Ruigu City, Kaliman's eyes widened, and his pupils changed with confusion and fear.

   And the guard standing beside him also clenched the gun in his hand involuntarily.

  The towering steel drilled out from under the clouds, like an iceberg rising out of the sea. The wings spread out on both sides were like Kunpeng's wings, and the rows of whistling propellers tore through the clouds, like the fangs of a beast.

  The original airship captain of the Legion was like this...

   He often heard rumors about it in people's mouths, but it was the first time he saw it.

  It is like a giant whale flying in the sky...although he has only seen that kind of animal in the photos.

   Several players were also dumbfounded.

   especially sis.

   Compared with where the airship came from, she wanted to know how the steel monster flew to the sky.

  The shell is full of metal texture, it doesn't look like a canvas with a layer of paint, this is definitely not the kind of airship in reality.

   And if the airship is made of alloy, even if it is made of aluminum alloy, even if its thickest armor is only 10 mm, its tonnage must be hundreds or even thousands of tons.

   And such an unscientific product, the way of propulsion actually relies on a row of parallel propellers?

  Siss felt that his common sense had been impacted, and his brain was temporarily shut down.

  Although this is not the first time...

  Herrick, who was lying on the ground, admired the stunned side face and said gloomily.

   "It's too late to surrender and surrender now..."

boom--!

   A gunshot interrupted him.

  Herrick covered his left ear in pain and curled up in a ball on the ground.

   put away the smoking pistol, Sisi adjusted the direction of the headset and took a picture of the sky.

   However, when she opened the VM and just wanted to sync the photos to the official website account, she found that the network was disconnected.

   Signal gone?

   At this moment, he also stretched his neck and looked at the tail on the north side, suddenly his expression changed and he screamed.

   "giao! My balloon!"

   Looking at the disappearing signal on the vm, Sesame Paste said with a face full of tears and laughter.

   "I just said...let you not put it that far, you have to climb to the top of the mountain."

   "I, I didn't think the signal would be better..." Tail whispered with a guilty conscience, "And it was written in the manual, asking us to find a higher place."

   "But that's too high!"

   "Alright... The manager will definitely throw another one over here." Tail patted Sesame Paste on the shoulder, but the tone of his guilty conscience was not like comforting others, but more like comforting himself.

   Shouldn't she have to pay?

  Shouldn't it be?

   "Hey... I finally managed to get a hot search." Rou Rou sighed and sat down on the ground.

   "Woooo... Damn, my heart hurts."

   Unlike those NPCs who are afraid of legions, they are not afraid of legions.

  Whether it is a predator, a legion, or a mutant and other aliens that are not human at all, they are nothing more than monsters with a higher level.

   In contrast, they want to spread this hot big news to the forum.

  Dog planning has a new life!

pity……

   Photos can only be uploaded later.

  …

   Heart of Steel.

  Hanging from the bridge below the airship, the man in luxurious clothes raised his chin slightly, looking down at the mountains, city ruins, vast forests and plains outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the handsome face reflected in the floor-to-ceiling windows.

   His name is McLen, the captain of the Airship Heart of Steel, he belongs to the Eastern Legion, and his rank is Captain Wan.

  Although the commander of the legion does not mean to command 10,000 people, he is undoubtedly the existence above ten thousand people standing here.

   The core part of the entire airship is an unfinished PLAAF frigate, which contains a power chamber composed of a fusion reactor and a deflector shield generation unit for "kinetic energy weapons".

  Although most technologies can no longer be parsed, and it is difficult to recover after parsing, it does not affect its continued use.

   Even in another form.

   In short, this airship embodies the crystallization of pre-war civilization and technology, and the pinnacle of Legion's attainments in the field of machinery.

  It can not only be used as an aircraft carrier in the sky, but also can go to the front line after the enemy loses air superiority and pour tons of explosives on the enemy's head.

   There are very few forces in the entire wasteland that can stop them.

   Except for the group of mice hiding in the swamp, the dung beetles hiding under the Holy Shield, and the cockroaches curling up on the east coast... Even if the other ants had the ability to shoot down this airship, they would not dare to look up at them.

   No one knows how many airships the Legion has, and no one knows how many unspent arsenals they inherited two hundred years ago.

  Except His Excellency the Marshal who rules everything.

"Respected General, Ruigu City is at your feet! The plain further ahead is the southern corridor of the River Valley Province, and its western gate is open to you!" Standing next to General McClen, the adjutant's tone was respectful. said.

   However, this flattery seems to be on the horse's leg.

   "I don't need you to tell me the history of this small piece of land. You just need to tell me where the cockroaches that came from the east coast have gone now."

  General McClane said slowly, but there was a hint of impatience in his tone.

   He was supposed to be served by servants in Oasis No. 2, but because of a piece of information from the Bugra Free State, he was sent here by his superiors to intercept the reinforcements sent by the company from the east coast.

   Said to be a superior, but the old fox named Griffin was actually half a grade higher than him, and there was one more star on the epaulette of the commander.

   However, there is no way, even half a star is higher than his military rank.

   Not to mention, that person is also the commander of the Eastern Corps, a frontline commander personally appointed.

   Not to mention flying an airship, even a space battleship, you have to listen to his commands.

   Every time he thinks of this, McClen's heart is filled with fire.

  The Pioneer has been captured, and the remaining crew members are stuck in the remains of the pre-war civilization. Without logistical supplies, surrender is a matter of time.

   The spoils can be divided right away, but he was sent to this place where birds don't shit.

   is nothing but an employee of a company.

Is    so important?

   "...Griffin's ambitions are not small. He probably wants to take this opportunity to bring the entire Luoxia Province into the sphere of influence of the Eastern Legion." The staff officer standing by the side said softly.

   This sentence sounds like a dream.

   There is a large desert between the Luoxia Province and the core territory of the Legion.

  The so-called great desert is not as simple as a place name, but a forbidden area for life spanning thousands of kilometers.

The    Legion could not rule the enclave of Luoxia Province, not to mention that it was far from their core interests.

   If it wasn't for taking the Great Rift Valley, they wouldn't even need to keep their vassals.

Although the Eagle Kingdom contributes a lot of wealth to them every year, every general of the Eastern Legion knows very well that the dinars and slaves offered by the honest king are not at all compared to their investment in the servant country. Worth mentioning.

but……

The fiasco of the    Expeditionary Force and the death of General Klaas finally made some of the top executives of the legion realize that it was a naive idea to expect to win the Great Rift Valley, which had cost the company a lot within a few months.

   They need to invest more power, build more reliable logistics, improve supply lines, and mobilize more manpower to polish the shoes of the ten commanders - whether it is mobilizing themselves or mobilizing the servants.

   In the final analysis, they need to strengthen their control over the East.

   There are many ways to choose.

for example……

   Make that honest and honest king an emperor.

   "...So you deliberately set aside us, do you want to take the credit for yourself?"

   Thinking of Griffin's arrogant face, General McClen narrowed his eyes slightly, and his heart suddenly moved.

   Looking at the wilderness in the southeast, a cruel arc twitched at the corner of his mouth.

   "Leaving these barbarians living here is simply a blasphemy to the legacy of our ancestors. In my opinion, the frontier of the Legion should be expanded by another 500 kilometers to the east."

   "We are totally capable of this!"

   The adjutant and staff officer beside him all showed surprised expressions.

   "...It's not a good idea to have extra branches. I think we should use the fastest speed to defeat the reinforcements of the enterprise, and then return to Oasis 2."

   General McClane said with a blank expression.

"What's the point of going back, that old fox will probably give us another reason. When we get through the southern corridor, the southern gate of the Great Rift Valley will be open to us, not to mention the legion commander, even the marshal can't ignore us. credit."

"But……"

   "Nothing to be desired."

   interrupted the staff officer's words, and McClane looked up at the floor-to-ceiling windows in front of him, and a happy smile gradually appeared on his face.

   "Let's bring true order and civilization to this group of barbarians!"

   Almost at the moment when the voice fell, the airship moving forward suddenly tilted two angles to the right, and the connecting parts made a creaking hum.

   It's just a tiny wiggle.

   However, at this moment, McClen's attention was completely on the handsome face in the floor-to-ceiling window.

   Caught off guard, he lost his footing, and his nose almost came into intimate contact with the armrest next to him.

  Fortunately, the adjutant on the side was quick-witted and supported him, who almost fell.

   "Sir, are you all right?"

   Picking up the hat from the ground, McClane yelled angrily.

   "What happened just now? Which idiot is sailing!"

   "Maybe it's just the airflow..."

   Facing McClen's roar, the adjutant opened his mouth tremblingly.

   However, before he finished speaking, a soldier trotted in from outside the bridge and reported nervously.

   "Captain! There seems to be something tangled in the propeller on our right!"

   "Send someone to fix it right away!" McClen roared.

   "Yes!" The soldier straightened his back and saluted, and ran away in a hurry.

   McClen scolded and returned to his place.

   The officers beside him looked at each other in dismay and closed their mouths one after another, daring not to make a sound, for fear of touching his moldy head and being used as a punching bag.

   The deflector shield was not triggered, indicating that the speed of the impactor was not fast, maybe it hit a dazed bird, and the problem should not be big...

   But there is one thing to say, it was really not a good omen just now.

   "The person I sent to the ground...is it Herrick or something, any news?"

   Hearing the captain's question, the adjutant on the side said quickly.

   "Not yet, but he reported last time that the caravan has been locked... There should be news soon."

  Macron was in a slightly better mood.

   After arresting the employee of the enterprise, and then disposing of the reinforcements sent by the enterprise, the troubles will be solved one by one, and he will be able to free up time to do his own business.

  While the Heart of Steel was busy checking for faults, Chu Guang, who was more than 150 kilometers away, stared at his VM with a bewildered expression.

What about the    signal?

   was full just now, and he was fascinated by the screen.

Why did    suddenly disappear?
