This Game is Too Real

  Chapter 39 Finally got a new NPC?

   In fact, there is no choice at all.

  Xia Yan knew very well that with only one leg left, it would be difficult for him to even walk out of this street, let alone go back to Boulder City.

   Besides, what can we do when we go back?

Although she has been in the mercenary business for a long time, she has not saved any money. A better neuron-linked bionic prosthesis can cost tens of thousands of chips, and a mechanical transmission prosthesis can cost thousands. point.

  This price is catching up with a chemical powered exoskeleton.

   Even if you sell her, you can't afford it.

   Either go with these people or die here.

   The choice is actually not that difficult.

   Sitting on the edge of the swaying wooden cart, tossing up and down with the piled sacks, Xia Yan sighed silently in his heart.

  Perhaps this journey is the last time for me to be free.

   In addition to taking herself back to have a baby, she really couldn't think of what use she was to the man in front of her.

   One skill?

Work?

Ha ha.

   After thinking about it, I only have this body left, and it still has a little value.

   I heard it would hurt a lot, but I don’t know if it’s true…

"We have arrived."

   The sound coming from the front interrupted the brain supplement of at least 200,000 words that did not exist.

  Recovering from his daydream, Xia Yan raised his head suddenly and found that he had been taken to a small forest by this group of people at some point.

  In the center of the jungle, there is a clearing of scattered wooden piles, and an unfinished concrete wall stands in the clearing.

  Beside the concrete wall, there are kilns with green smoke, and behind them are the earthen pits and fish-smoking racks.

  The smell of barbecue fills the air, and there is a banging sound in my ears.

  Some people are beating stones with hammers, some people are operating bellows to blow air into the furnace, and some people are carrying stones, building walls or cutting down trees.

  This is like a large construction site.

   Original and busy.

  These people...are all his subordinates?

   Looking at all this, Xia Yan's pale face was full of surprise. She did a rough count and found that there were still a lot of people here. There were only a dozen or twenty people who could see them, all wearing uniform blue uniforms.

   The moment she saw the dress clearly, she guessed the identities of these people in less than a second.

   Refuge Residents! ?

   I didn’t hear that there is a shelter near here.

but……

  What are they doing?

  Xia Yan was a little confused.

  It is not uncommon for the shelter to be located in Qingquan City. Some have been opened many years ago, and many are still blocked until now, waiting for the arrival of the unlocking period.

  Those shelters that do well can occasionally be regarded as a force, and those who do not do well basically become the rations of mutants or aliens.

Xia Yan remembered that there seemed to be a sanctuary not far from the boulder city, but the survivors living in it were relatively xenophobic and did not want to be in contact with outsiders, and they were quite stubborn, not to mention building construction on the ground. , and rarely come out of the shelter.

   Does this kind of wall make sense?

  Sturdy is indeed quite acquainted, bullets should not be able to penetrate, but no matter how strong the wall is, can it be stronger than the gate of the refuge?

   That thing can't even see through gamma rays.

   "...You are the refugees?"

   "Yes," Chu Guang glanced at the injury on her leg and said, "I thought you passed out."

   On the way, she was very honest and didn't move much.

   Chu Guang's attention was basically scattered around, and he didn't pay much attention to her side, thinking that this person had passed out due to excessive blood loss.

  I didn't expect that he was still awake.

   "I'm not that vulnerable."

  Xia Yan raised her chin, her eyebrows and her expression were as stiff as lead, she felt that this might make herself look a little more stubborn.

   At least not timid.

   But unfortunately, no one cared about her pretending to be tough, or even noticed it at all.

   "I see," Chu Guang said casually, withdrawing his gaze from the **** broken leg, "Your wound is indeed healing a little faster than ordinary people."

   Applying the attribute template of Vault 404, this guy's physique is at least 8 points, and the error is about ±1.

   As an ordinary person, even if he didn't lose too much blood, he would have passed out with a high fever at this moment.

   However, this guy was still able to hold on, it was just sweating on his forehead, his face was pale, and his consciousness was not very clear.

   Of course, it may be caused by "talent".

  The survivors in the wasteland are more or less related to the word mutation, and it is not surprising that there are some unusual traits in their bodies.

  Chu Guang looked at the two players and instructed.

   "You send the food to 'Tomato Scrambled Eggs' and let him keep it properly."

   A few days ago, Chu Guang had told Brother Scrambled Egg to build a granary that could store grains and meat.

  No surprise, it should have been built by now.

   Whether it is dried and put into storage, or the whole bag is directly piled into it, I believe this cook is more professional and reliable than himself.

  Since there are players here, Chu Guang doesn't bother to worry about these trivial matters.

  Last time, just getting a bacon made him a lot of trouble. Let yourself plan the granary, and I'm afraid it will get moldy or be eaten by mice if you don't eat it in winter.

   Hearing the manager's instructions, Fang Chang and Ye Shi nodded in unison and took over the task.

"Yes!"

   "Follow orders!"

  Chu Guang said nothing.

   I saw him reach out and pick up the mercenary who was paralyzed on the scooter, ignoring the latter's exclamation, and carried her on his shoulders like a sack.

   Then, the other hand stretched out, grabbed the backpack that Ye Shi had licked from the other three mercenaries, and strode towards the sanatorium.

  Ye Ten and Fang Chang watched with admiration.

   This large package of equipment plus a living person would add up to a hundred kilograms at least.

   Just pick it up with both hands and walk away, this is too strong!

  Looking at the manager walking towards the nursing home, Lao Bai, who noticed the situation here, quietly leaned over.

   "What happened? Who is the person that our boss is carrying?"

   "You ask Fang Chang, and as soon as he finished watching the plot, I felt lonely." Either licking the bag or being a hostage, Ye Shi felt like a tool man, with a depressed expression on his face.

   Fang Chang made a helpless expression.

   "Don't look at me, this game doesn't even have subtitles, and I can't understand what the NPCs are saying to each other during the plot... You can understand her as a newly added NPC."

   Guess it is possible to guess, but it is a bit difficult to tell it completely, let’s wait for the official website to update.

   Lao Bai said stunned.

   "Okay... But then again, why is she injured so badly?"

   "Hey, don't say that the injury is serious, everyone is almost dead," Ye Shi said with a sigh, "You don't know what we encountered on the way back."

   "What happened?"

"crawler!"

   "What the hell?" Lao Bai looked at Ye Shi with a look of surprise, and hurriedly asked, "Have you met a creeper? What does that thing look like?"

  There is information about the crawler on the official website, but there is no description about its combat power other than a few abstract text descriptions.

   There is no illustrated book for reference.

  Old Bai only remembers that this thing seems to belong to the same category as the gnaw, and it is a symbiont xenogeneity born under fungal infection. It seems to be related to biological weapons, and its ancestors can no longer be traced.

   Originally, he thought, this thing is probably a monster in the setting, and the game company may not have made the model yet.

   I didn't expect these two to meet!

"It's ugly, it has four arms of the old man, it is about half a person's height when lying down, and it is estimated to be two meters when standing up. Not only is this thing outrageous, but the key is that it moves so fast! We shoot with three guns. After a round, he didn't get a single shot, and then the manager was so arrogant that he swung the steel pipe and stabbed it to death a few times."

   Ye Shi vividly described the situation at that time, although this abstract narrative style basically did not make it clear.

   Lao Bai looked at Fang Chang for help, and the latter sighed.

   "I can't tell for a while, but basically like what Ye Shi said, that creeper is a bit outrageous."

"I guess the new expansion not only updated the in-game activities, but also added more alien species, new NPC factions, and related tasks. I'll talk about this later when I'm offline... The manager asked me to send the scooter. Go to Brother Scrambled Egg, and I'll hand in a mission first."

  Although I really want to share his new discovery with Brother Fang, there are only three hours left until it gets dark, so I really don’t have time to fish.

   Lao Bai sighed and nodded.

   "Okay, let's go first... I'll go and think about the blast furnace for steelmaking. Come and help me when you're done!"

   "Well, see you later."

  …

   On the other side, in the sanatorium.

  The players who were working on the scaffolding noticed the managers returning from the outside.

   Of course he also noticed the woman he was carrying on his shoulders.

   "Damn it, look, look, the manager has a person on his shoulder!"

   "Who is that person???"

   "New NPC?"

   "Still a girl!"

   "Finally there is a new NPC! Brother Meng, we are one step closer to the closed beta!"

"Oh oh oh!"

   Thinking that we are one step closer to the internal test, the players one by two seemed to be beaten by chicken blood, and it was even harder to move bricks and plaster.

  Xia Yan, who was carried by Chu Guang on her shoulders, seemed to have a fire on her cheeks, not only because of her posture, but also because of the sight that made her feel like a light on her back.

   She couldn't understand what those people were saying, but she didn't need to understand at all.

  As you can guess, it's nothing more than trash talk just like the eyes of these men.

   She could imagine that they were like hyenas in the wasteland, in this way flattered and complimented the male as the leader, hoping that after he had eaten his prey, he would be given a bone or a mouthful of broth.

   Obviously, he is the tender and delicious lamb.

   The more Xia Yan thought about it, the more frightened it became, her clenched teeth couldn't help fighting, her eyes were even more wet and even dripped.

   She suddenly regretted it. Instead of being humiliated and then throwing it to the wolves to share the food, she might as well cut herself off and die with a bit of backbone.

   But the body doesn't listen to her.

  The elevator goes down.

arrive.

  Chu Guang strode through the gate of the sanctuary, passed the buffer room, and entered the resident hall. He threw aside the package full of equipment, and then threw Xia Yan, who was carrying on his shoulders, on the chair.

   "Hey, tap it...what are you doing?"

   gasped in pain, Xia Yan stared nervously at Chu Guang who was approaching.

"be honest."

   didn't bother to care about her, Chu Guang opened the drawer and took out a silver-white metal round tube. The thumb flicked off the plastic cover, and the index finger flicked habitually.

   "It shouldn't hurt, just bear with it."
