This Game is Too Real

   inside a long fusiform aircraft.

   Sitting on the soft and comfortable seat, while drinking coffee, Li Ke overlooked the joint slaughter of mutants by the enterprise and the alliance through the four exploration drones dropped into the near air of the battlefield.

   The gunshots didn't last long.

   As he finished his cup of coffee, the last mutant standing still fell on the steps in front of the ugly altar.

  The next step is to clean up the battlefield.

   He put the cup on the tray, which was automatically recovered by the assistant robot on the side, and gave a non-salty comment to the memo that was unfolded by the hologram.

"so so."

"The soldiers of the alliance are a bit weird, and their physical fitness is far superior to ordinary people, but after all, they are residents of the shelter, so it is normal. The backward equipment, the fighting style of primitive people... I really don't understand how the beacon team lost to this group of people. , the quality of the personnel in the investigation department is not as good as a year."

   "As for the company..."

   Li Ke laughed, and the sarcasm in his eyes became more obvious.

   "It's a waste to have the AI ​​core in the hands of these guys... The presence of those android soldiers is not as good as that of a few old-time power armors.

Needless to say about the    Legion.

  Those old-fashioned equipment also rely on a little heritage to support the facade.

   Considering the performance of all parties, it is natural that academies that have improved on the basis of Prosperity Era are stronger.

   Of course, it is undeniable that the performance of the alliance has indeed exceeded his initial expectations... If the friends of the group explode into a full-scale war, with their will to fight, maybe they can hold on for a few more months.

  Li Ke contentedly reached out and clicked on the holographic screen. While turning off the memo, he recalled the previously released exploration drone.

   At this time, a gentle electronic sound floated from the back of his seat.

   "Sir, I have your phone number."

   "Phone? Here?"

   "Yes, the Wandering Swamp launched a cruising communication station."

   As soon as he heard the patrolling communication station, Li Ke's expression immediately became serious, and he sat up straight from the chair.

   "Give it to me."

"OK."

The    communication signal was quickly transferred from the research ship's server to his personal terminal.

  Li Ke reached out and clicked on the holographic window, the light blue light and shadow quickly drew a scribbled bust in front of him.

  This is a great desert.

   The signal condition is worse than that of Luoxia province.

  The only people who insisted on using video communication to communicate under such circumstances were the old stubborn stubborn people from the Research Department.

   "...I'm Yang Kai from the Research Department, a B-level researcher. There is my identification band in the communication code. Please verify it yourself later."

   As soon as the communication was connected, the other party did not greet him, and directly reported his home.

  Li Ke cleared his throat.

   "Li Ke, Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Class B, what's the matter?"

The    hologram flickered for a moment.

   "Transfer the project of Vault 0 to me."

   Hearing this sentence, Li Ke suddenly jumped up like a squirrel whose tail was stomped on.

   "Why?"

On the other side of the    communication channel, there was still that calm tone.

   "This is Dr. Conclusion's order, and your foreign affairs department will honestly do your duty." When he heard that it was actually Dr. Conclusion's order, Li Ke suddenly muttered indignantly like a deflated ball.

   "Doctor Conclusion... That lord really has time."

   The other end of the communication channel did not comment on this sentence, but gave a simple answer in an unwavering tone.

"thanks for your cooperation."

   After saying that, the flickering shadow disappeared from right above the holographic device...

  …

  The cleanup of the battlefield by Enterprise and Alliance ground forces has come to an end, and the discovery of the "Blackrock" mutant tribe is surprising.

   The words of the drone operator under Yunsong really came true.

   These gray-black mutants do dig deep burrows, protect immature pups with the help of burrows, grow some edible fungi, and keep fat and protein-producing mutant worms in captivity.

   One of the most surprising is a fluorescent mushroom that grows on radioactive waste. It seems to be able to accelerate the decay of iodine and bright isotopes through a special biochemical process, and convert part of the energy into light.

   It is currently impossible to prove whether this species uses fusion or fission energy to provide the energy required for life activities, but it is surprising enough to only accelerate the decay of radioactive substances.

   Yunsong and Laobai reported their findings in the mutant tribe to their superiors.

  After the communication between the enterprise and the alliance executives, the two sides decided to share these interesting research materials.

The   Iron Heart slowly passed right above the Blackrock Tribe and dropped the anchor chain in the open space about a kilometer away.

   The pod was lowered immediately.

  Five long strip-shaped construction vehicles drove to the open space one after another and lined up in three columns.

Nearly 100 aircrews wearing miners' exoskeletons traveled back and forth between the stockpiles and the base of the camp, sending the scrap metal scraps removed by the players from the mutant tribe into the feeding port of the construction vehicle, and quickly processed into Planks for building camps.

These standardized panels with aluminum and iron alloys as the main materials are about one inch thick, loose and porous in texture, light in texture, but not low in strength. Shooting bunkers as well as the outer walls of the base.

  With the end of the battle, players also joined the construction of the camp.

   In less than three hours, a camp covering an area of ​​20 acres and the size of nearly two football fields took shape.

   The pod is lowered again. The logistics officer of the Heart of Steel quickly stepped forward, stood in front of Chu Guangman, and gave a military salute with a red face.

   "Report! Dear administrator, according to your instructions, we have completed the construction of the outer wall of the camp, and the next is the construction of the barracks, which is expected to be completed within 24 hours!"

   "Good job," Chu Guang nodded approvingly, looking at the young man and continued, "Go and do your work, don't worry about my side."

   "Yes!" The logistics officer put his right fist on his chest, then strode toward the construction site and watched the young man leave. Wu Changnian glanced at the lively construction site and said with a smile.

   "How is it? The technology of the ideal city is still enough, right?"

  Chu Guang said sincerely.

   "It's pretty good, but it's a bit expensive. It would be nice if I could get a discount."

   Wu Changnian coughed dryly.

   "This...... You have to talk to the representative of the Silver Wing Group. The council can't interfere with the operation of the production department, and I can't make decisions about orders."

   Although regretful, Chu Guang still nodded.

"understand.

This modular infrastructure system called "Camp Workshop" consists of five powerful engineering vehicles. It is similar to the modular production workshops on the Trailblazer. They are designed for the special environment on the wasteland. Designed production tools.

  It is like a black box in another sense, which can ingest metal waste without any restriction, digest the part that can be digested, and DIY it into the shape required by the user.

   Combined with the cruise capability of the Heart of Steel, in theory, Chu Guang can photograph the base of operations anywhere it can fly.

   At that time, he also took a fancy to this point, and decisively introduced this system from the Silver Wing Group.

  Although the cost of such a system is high, up to 16 million Cr, Chu Guang still reluctantly bought the order.

  As a modular production tool, its function is obviously not just to produce the plates needed for camping.

   These five engineering vehicles can also process the input materials into basic weapons including rifles and protective gear such as bulletproof armor according to the input drawings.

  Although the production efficiency is not high, the energy and materials consumed and the implied loss cost are not a small amount, but it is still very useful as a set of "camping equipment".

   Before the Heart of Steel, it solved the supply problems encountered during the expedition by keeping slaves in captivity and carrying a large number of processing tools and machine tools.

   A production team with a scale of more than 500 people can be easily replaced with five engineering vehicles, saving a lot of valuable space for the airship.

  Unfortunately, the Alliance has only one "helicopter carrier".

  Otherwise, Chu Guang really planned to buy a few more sets from Ideal City.

   At this time, the Willante who got off the Adjudicator also walked towards this side.

  Chu Guang suddenly noticed McClen's eyes looking at the construction vehicles.

   Including the captain named Adria standing next to him, the faces of both of them were filled with envy without exception.

The    Legion's industrial capabilities are not weak, and the manufacture of heavy equipment is quite a set, but the manufacture of precision equipment is very reluctant.

   Even if there is such a thing, it is impossible to assign it to the airship.

   "Have you found the entrance to Vault 0?" Adria said with a smile when she walked in front of the representatives of the alliance and enterprises.

   Wu Changnian said succinctly.

   "We have to find the crew of the Pioneer first. Only they know the entrance to the shelter. If you are in a hurry, you can go back first."

   Of course Adria couldn't leave, and continued to ask with a smile.

   "Didn't you run back to an employee? He doesn't know the entrance to Vault 0?"

   "Unfortunately, you guessed it right, he was chased away by a group of shameless robbers before he could find the entrance to the shelter.

   Hearing the unkindness of Wu Changnian's tone, Adria was unmoved, and McClen's face was equally expressionless.

The    order was given by Griffin.

   He was also annoyed that the guy was pulling himself away.

   If he hadn't run after the employees of that company, he wouldn't have been planted in the hands of a group of wastelanders, and he wouldn't have lost his airship.

"I'm sorry about the Pioneer. It was Griffin's assertion. We will strictly restrain our own people, and nothing like this will happen again," said Adria with a hypocritical concern. " By the way, I almost forgot to ask, has the Trailblazer been found? Are the crew on it okay?"

   Wu Changnian stared at him and said.

   "Our people have already found them based on the coordinates you provided, and they had better be alive." Adria shrugged.

   "I also sincerely hope they are safe."

  The Pioneer was controlled by the Legion before.

   But the crew, including Luyan, were not captured by the Legion, but moved outside before the Legion took control of the Trailblazer.

  Except for Luo Hua, who was sent to the Alliance for help, the rest of the employees hid under the leadership of Lu Yang and were not found by the Willantes.

   As the day of war was approaching, Griffin did not have much time to waste in the great desert, so the task of searching for those people was subcontracted to the Blackrock tribe.

  According to the description of the mutant captives, the big-nosed humans offered "one company employee for ten human women".

   But at present, those mutants obviously did not find those missing corporate employees, otherwise they would have taken the rewards to the Willands long ago.

   Regarding the question of the Trailblazer, the Legion was all on Griffin's head.

   As for McLen, he didn’t know much. During the time he was captured, he had already explained what he could explain. The Legion didn't care about the life and death of the crew on the Trailblazer. They were only interested in the No. 0 Refuge found by the Trailblazer.

The same goes for   , including colleges.

   didn't take Captain Adria's fake politeness seriously, Wu Changnian turned around and walked to the company's premises.

  Macron stared at Chu Guang fiercely, but only stared fiercely, said nothing, and walked away with Adria.

   At this time, a long shuttle-shaped aircraft stopped the arc of the jet from the bottom and slowly landed in the center of the camp.

Its name is Comet 300. It is a research ship independently produced by the college based on the drawings left over from the prosperous era. Because it is equipped with an ecological circulation device and an anti-gravity device, in theory, this thing can not only be driven to any corner of the planet, even Can fly to outer space.

   However, the environment in outer space is much worse than on the ground. Unless there are special tasks to be performed, it is generally not driven there.

   Just happened to come back from cleaning the battlefield, Lao Bai glanced at the scientific research ship with a very sci-fi style, and suddenly found that it was a little different from the one that landed in Falcon City before.

   At this moment, a man and a woman came out of the open hatch.

  Old Bai was surprised to find that he knew one of them.

  The man obviously noticed him too, and took the initiative to walk towards him.

"meet again."

   Walking to Laobai, Zheng Hao glanced at the power armor on his body, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, "Dragon cavalry?"

   "It's pretty good."

   Zheng Hao glanced at his mouth.

"I've seen the wreckage of this thing a lot, and the nuclear bomb crater next to the Great Rift Valley is everywhere." "Really? I'll have to go and see it another day," Lao Bai smiled lightly and continued, "What about you? How did you come here?"

"Thanks to you, with that sample, my team and I were transferred from the Investigation Division to the Research Division, and now work for the B-level researcher Professor Yang Kai. He is currently in charge of the investigation of Vault 0... He is there in a research ship."

When    said this, Zheng Hao's expression was a little complicated.

   The battle beacon team suffered heavy losses, and many of his brothers died.

   And because it was an unrecognized battle, the families of his dead brothers didn't even get the full pension. He took out a part of G points to buy some living materials to send to their families.

   understood the expression on his face, Lao Bai said nothing, just skipped the unpleasant part of the topic.

   "That sanctuary...you're going to go there then? Or that B-level researcher?"

   Contrary to Old Bai's expectations, the man in front of him shook his head.

"neither."

   Said, Zheng Hao looked at the girl with a restrained expression and long black hair next to her.

   "Introduction, Jiang Xuezhou, a D-level researcher... I used to be my teammate, but now I'm at the same level. Yang Kai is her mentor. Thanks to her relationship, we were able to successfully sell the sample at that time."

   Jiang Xuezhou stared at Lao Bai vigilantly and nodded cautiously.

   "Hello." She had seen this man in the drone footage, and many of them died at the hands of him and his teammates...including her friend Chen Yutong.

  Although she also knew in her heart that the two sides were only fighting for their respective positions, and there was no simple right or wrong, but she still couldn't believe the person in front of her.

   Zheng Hao looked at Lao Bai.

   "The one sent by the alliance should be you. Help me take care of her after going down."

   Lao Bai made a helpless expression.

   "Although I really want to help you, I'm not here for this operation."

   "Not you?" Zheng Wu looked at him in surprise.

   Before getting off the research ship, he heard that the Alliance would send a powerful Awakener to follow them into the shelter.

   He guessed at the time that the person might be the old white he had met.

   However, Lao Bai told him that he was not himself.

  Is there a stronger Awakener in the Alliance?

   "Well, it's another..." Looking at Zheng Hao who looked surprised, Lao Bai smiled and said, "But don't worry, I will tell my good brother-"

   "No need," Jiang Xuezhou interrupted him, looked at him alertly and said, "I will take care of myself, just... don't bother you."

   Said, she nodded politely, turned and left here to see the back of her colleague leaving, Zheng Hao looked slightly embarrassed, and said with a light cough.

   "Sorry, that day...she lost a team member with whom she had a good relationship."

   Lao Bai shrugged.

   "It's okay, I can understand, but don't expect me to apologize to you, we have done the greatest degree of restraint, and it was you who fired first."

   Zheng Hao nodded silently.

   "I know... I didn't say it was your fault, but I... hey."

   Halfway through his words, he suddenly didn't know how to continue, and after deliberating on his words for a long time, he finally sighed.

   This **** secrecy system…

   There are some words he can only hold in his heart.

  Understanding his difficulty, Lao Bai said nothing, just patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, then turned and walked away.

  …

  It wasn't just Lao Bai who happened to meet an acquaintance.

   And the brothers of the Stormtroopers.

   Looking at the warlord who sneaked over, I pointed at the guy's nose and screamed excitedly. "Fuck! Pangolin?!"

   That shout startled the warlord, he glanced left and right in a conditioned reflex, and suddenly realized that I was shouting in Mandarin the worst, so I was relieved.

   That shout startled the warlord, he glanced left and right in a conditioned reflex, and suddenly realized that I was shouting in Mandarin the worst, so I was relieved.

   "MMPD, can you stop calling me this vest outside!" Staring at the guy who almost ruined his mission, the warlord said cursingly.

   I said with a smiley face with the darkest expression on my face.

   "Don't worry, brother won't sell you... By the way, why did you sneak over here with a big brow and big eyes?" The battlefield guy sighed.

   "Hey, that's a long story, and I was sent here in a daze."

   Commander Quan Shui looked at him strangely, vaguely guessing something, but he wasn't sure, so he asked tentatively.

   "The Legion sent to investigate the two representatives of Vault 0... Shouldn't there be you?"

  The Battlefielder smiled shyly.

   "You guessed it."

   Everyone was shocked when they heard the words.

  I am the blackest: "Fuck!"

   Hunting Ghosts at the Grave Head: "6666!"

Kakarot couldn't help but said: "Mom... Undercover does what you do, I have nothing to say." Originally, the company, the legion, and the alliance each sent two representatives, and one from the academy. Who would have thought that the legion would This guy was picked, and the representatives of the alliance became three directly.

  The battlefield guy smiled embarrassedly.

   "Life is full of accidents, and I didn't expect that group of big noses would send me here... By the way, did you bring that thing in the archive? Hurry up and save it for Lao Tzu, I'm afraid the next book will die in a while."

  The spring commander coughed.

   "Something on airships."

  The battlefield guy was stunned.

   "Damn it! Have to get on the airship?"

  Spring gave this guy a strange look.

   "Or else? How troublesome is it to put down the dormant capsule every time you go to a place... And I suggest you come in the second half of the night. The first half of the night is probably not easy to grab."

  The archive is not finished by laying in and punching a card. It takes several hours to read the article.

   Generally, everyone will file in batches. When the person in front has finished saving, and the person in the back wants to save, the former person will be dragged out of the training cabin.

   So if you choose to go offline at the public save point, sometimes you will wake up when you go online and find yourself lying on the floor.

  My darkest hippie smiled.

   "Why don't you sneak out at night? The brothers will pick you up."

   Looking at the unreliable guy, the warlord hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and nodded in response, "Okay!"

   Later.

  The field guy cautiously went to the toilet, and after locking the door, he came to escape with a golden cicada, pulled out the WC from the window, left the camp assigned by the Alliance to the legion representative's station, and sneaked to the Alliance's airship.

  I, who was waiting there early to meet up with him, put the sack on him, and then carried him into the pod, and unknowingly got him on the airship.

  Although the sack felt that the sack was completely unnecessary, he was really reluctant to resist when he asked for it, so I let my darkest grandson, Hu, come here.

   It takes several hours to travel inside the dormant cabin to collect data.

   Fortunately, he usually squatted in the pit for an hour or two, and no one would doubt it if he squatted for an hour or two more.

  At the same time, the captain's room of the Heart of Steel.

   Chu Guang, who had returned to the airship, was staring at the rags spread out on the desk, his brows wrinkled unconsciously.

   "The logo of the Torch Church?"

   Standing opposite the desk, Old Bai nodded solemnly.

   "I found this symbol on that mutant priest...and there is a similar symbol on that altar."

   leaned back on the chair, Chu Guang closed his eyes and thought for a while.

   "Dead Coast is in the south of Jinchuan Province. It's five or six thousand to say the least... It's too far away."

   If you follow a straight line, you may also pass through the natural dangers of the Zobal Mountains. It is hard to imagine that the Torch Church can reach here.

   Lao Bai said with a sudden movement in his heart.

   "Is there a possibility... It's not that the mutants are followers of the Torch Church, but that both the mutants and the Torch Church are followers of a larger organization."

  Chu Guangyan commented succinctly.

   "That sounds even more outrageous."

   Lao Bai said with a wry smile.

"Too…"

   If this organization is so large, it can affect the mutants of the Death Coast in the southern part of the Middle-earth continent and the central desert at the same time, it is impossible for them not to hear the wind.

   Looking at the symbol on the rag, Chu Guang couldn't help falling into contemplation.

   He prefers another possibility…

   That is, these mutants and the believers of the Torch Church are all isolated from each other, and have been affected by a special existence separately and at the same time.

   It can be a huge organization like Lao Bai said, or it can be a technological creation with magical power.

   Or, it may just be an abstract concept.

   But whatever it is, that which possesses demagogic power is fraught with danger.

   Thinking of the past of Vault 117 and the rumors about the self-proclaimed holy son Wang Yi, Chu Guang closed his eyes and pondered for a long time.

   The last time he had such a vague feeling of unease in his heart was when he learned that the Willantes had deployed a nuclear bomb in Luoxia Province.

   "The origin of this symbol...has to be investigated further."

   Lao Bai said with approval.

   "I think so too... I suggest keeping an outpost in the Great Desert. Even aside from these noteworthy clues, there are still a lot of things worthy of our recovery."

  Chu Guang nodded, swiped his index finger in the air, and unfolded the holographic map.

   "Not only the great desert, but also the investigation in the south will be launched at the same time... After this incident is over, I will give you a task."

   Hearing that the hidden mission was triggered, Lao Bai was overjoyed and said immediately.

   "Please order!"

  Chu Guang continued.

   "There is a coordinate to the south, there is the nuclear fuel we need, I need you to take a few people there to recover it."

   "Some of the residents of the shelter are reclaiming wasteland there, you can ask for their help."

  Old Bai clasped his fists in both hands and said with bright eyes.

"Yes!"

   The night is dark. On the ruins not far from the camp, in a factory building with a leaky roof covering thousands of acres, a huge land-based fortress was anchored.

  Its steel shell has inwardly concave twists everywhere, the tracks under the chassis are broken every inch, the mechanical arms and the production workshop and other structures have been damaged, and the situation can be described as miserable.

   Judging from the collapse of the wall next to it and the bullet holes in the wall, it should have broken through the wall of the factory building and rushed in, and then a fierce exchange of fire broke out with the pursuers here.

  Several beams of lights shone on the dusty wreckage, and the android soldiers who stepped forward carefully inspected the damage and gaps on this land-based fortress.

   Standing not far away, Su Ming couldn't help but scolded in a low voice.

   "Damn... those big noses!"

   Apparently the Willands persecuted it into this ghostly look.

  Thinking of the appearance of those Willant officers who had nothing to do with him, he wanted to go back to the camp to pick up those big noses and punch them in the face one by one.

   Gu Wei, who was standing beside him, said with emotion.

   "Remember what it looked like when it first set off from the ideal city?"

   Another commando lamented.

   "...I don't recognize it at all."

   "Hope the people inside are all right."

   Yunsong glanced at the Geiger counter and found that the level of radioactive dust here exceeded the standard, so he waved his hand to signal everyone to close the helmets and open the internal circulation system.

  There is a lot of nuclear fuel stored on the Pioneer, as well as tactical nuclear warheads brought out from Ideal City. Looking at the nearby bomb crater, it should be made by the crew.

   After checking the condition of the Pioneer, a android soldier walked back to Yunsong.

   Before waiting for the android to speak, Yunsong asked immediately.

   "Are there any living people inside?"

   Although this possibility is very small, he still asked this question.

   However, to his surprise, the android nodded.

   "There is a signal of life activity in the escape pod, but it is very weak... It is estimated that there are only one or two people." Yun Song was instantly ecstatic when he heard the words, as if he had lifted a heavy burden. "Quick! Get him out!"
