This Game is Too Real

"Roar!"

   The deafening roar echoed in the corridor, almost shattering the alloy walls and floors.

   Meng Liang's expression was distorted in pain, covering his ears.

   stuck out half of his head and looked at the corridor, he could almost see the circles of dust raised by the huge impact.

   "Fuck...this thing is a bit wicked!"

   Dodging the roaring fatal blow, the warlord glanced at the door behind him, which was embedded in the wall and vibrated like a tuning fork, his face slightly pale.

   Good guy!

   This is Sivir, the goddess of war.

   If this is cut, even 80% of Brother Guang will have to be turned into two halves...

   I thought it was a shield warrior, but I didn't expect that the decaying knight banged twice, and smashed the "shield" and "sword" in his hand at him and Su Ming like a javelin.

"Oh shit……"

   A steel bar was firmly on his chest, and Su Ming struggled to get up from the ground.

   Ignoring the burning pain in his chest, he managed to concentrate in a trance, grabbed the Gauss rifle that had fallen on the ground, and aimed it at the monster standing at the end of the corridor.

"go to hell!!!"

   The moment when the index finger pulls the trigger, the arc flashes!

   Countless projectiles erupted from the barrel of the gun and rushed towards the end of the corridor like a shower, and sparks jumped on the rotten knight's armor for a while.

   Unfortunately, his armor was not penetrated!

  The rotten knight stretched out his right hand, clasped it on the door of the room on one side, and pulled it off with a sudden force.

  The expressions of the two of them changed, and while the Battlefield guy continued to pull the trigger to fire, he roared at Su Ming who was beside him.

   "Not enough power! Can that thing of yours... charge?"

   He remembered that Ye Shi's Gauss rifle could increase the penetration of a single-shot quality bullet by charging.

   A fully charged fatal blow that can even pierce the armor of a Conqueror tank!

   Obviously also found that the evolutionary body's defensive power is outrageous. Before the warlord's voice fell, Su Ming took a deep breath and raised the guy in his hand.

   The number of the battery capacity indicator dropped rapidly, the front end of the capacitor released a light blue arc, and the penetrating muzzle was brewing terrifying energy!

"I need time!"

   "How long?" Looking at the rotten knight who was still fine after a shuttle, the battlefield guy asked while changing the magazines.

"ten--"

   Before he finished speaking, the gust of wind roared, and the rotten knight standing at the end of the corridor suddenly exerted force on his feet, and the whole person rushed over like a cannonball.

The wide-opening and closing attack caught both of them by surprise. A hurricane blew across the door. With just one touch, Su Ming flew out with his gun and fan, making him incapacitated. It was a horizontal slash that slashed at the warlord, knocking the latter into the wall of the corridor.

   "Cough—!"

   The battlefield man who accidentally bit his mouth spit **** spit, glanced at the rifle with his hand broken in two, and threw it aside.

  Thanks to him subconsciously blocking it just now, or just that one move just now is enough to send him back to his hometown.

  Thinking of this, the battlefield guy couldn't help but be afraid for a while. …

   Such a terrifying power—

  The quantification into attributes might break a hundred!

  The most terrible thing is that its speed and defense are not weak at all, and it has the absolute defense as hard as a turtle shell and the tenacious vitality unique to slime mold.

   Even an occasional bullet that can penetrate a weak link in its defenses is simply not enough to cause fatal damage to it.

   This is not a competition of the same level at all!

   "Damn..."

  The Battlefielder gritted his teeth and pulled out the dagger hanging from his waist. When the rotten knight charged at him again, he slashed at its head.

   Just listen to the muffled sound of the clang!

   He only felt that the short sword in his hand seemed to be chopped on a mountain, which shocked him with a short sting in his mouth. Before he could regain his senses, the whole person had been picked up by the door panel against his chest and flew out.

  The bulletproof armor on the chest is dented inward by the top,

  The Battlefielder grunted, and his back hit the ground heavily.

   Not far away, the head of the rotten knight was only shaved off by a layer of dark red creep with the toothpick-like dagger. 3

   His full blow didn't even leave a scratch on the helmet.

   But think about it...

   That's power armor.

   The Battlefield guy said with a wry smile, thinking that he knew that the evolutionary body he met was a rotten knight, and he wouldn't come here if he said anything.

   However, he has no regrets anymore. He is just glad that he took the opportunity to save the file before.

   walked in front of him step by step.

  The rotten knight raised his right arm high, and looking at the door panel tightly held in his hand, he was about to smash the warlord into flesh.

   But at this moment, the movements of its hands suddenly stopped.

   The battlefield guy who opened half of his eyes found that the place where he had been slashed by his sword before revealed a half-slap-sized eyepiece.

  It was covered with thick creep.

A disturbing scarlet light flickered behind the    eyepiece, and suddenly circles of pale blue ripples swept across the mirror.

   The power armor, which was completely paralyzed, and even the reactor was shut down, seemed to be awakened after activating a program.

  The limited amount of electricity was gushing out from the backup power supply, and the reverse-driven mechanical structure completely stopped its movement, completely freezing the raised right arm.

   Even as the flesh rots beneath the steel—his will still reigns over this invincible armor.

   Accompanied by an exhaust sound of "", the tubular fusion battery ejected from the back of the armor. At the same time, a low growl mixed with an electric sound leaked from the helmet.

"kill me.'

   There is no time to hesitate.

  Su Ming, who had regained his mobility, gritted his teeth and propped up half of his body, and suddenly threw a tubular plasma grenade in the direction of the pangolin.

   "...the silver tab is the switch! Plug this thing into the power armor's battery port...behind it!"

   understood what he meant, and without waiting for the sentence to finish, the fieldman grabbed the grenade that rolled in front of him, quickly rolled behind the decaying knight, and pulled out the fusion battery on its back.

  Then he unplugged the grenade's fuse and slid into the loose battery port. …

   "Get out of the way!"

   Without Su Ming's reminder at all, the battlefield guy who completed this series of actions has instinctively rushed forward.

   Almost at the same time, a dazzling white light exploded behind the rotten knight, and the bursting electric sparks scattered along with the jumping arc.

   The solid-like plasma poured into the power armor, instantly roasting the slime mold that filled the armor into coke.

"Roar--!"

   The roar of pain shook the entire corridor.

   As if the dazzling white light had drained the strength of the whole body, the scarlet light sticking behind the tactical eyepiece gradually faded away, and the entire armor completely lost its power. The body bent forward slightly and knelt heavily on the ground.

   Seeing that the evolutionary body was finally killed, the battlefield guy who was lying on the ground finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after a long breath, he gritted his teeth and dragged his body paralyzed by the electric current to stand up from the ground.

   I didn't know when I had walked to the front of the power armor. Su Ming, who was holding a Gauss rifle, looked at it silently, and didn't speak for a long time.

   Removed the inwardly sunken breastplate, and the Battlefielder walked beside him.

   "Acquaintance?"

"Um."

  Su Ming nodded silently.

  The Warlord's Adam's apple moved.

   He had already guessed the identity of this person, but he still asked.

"he is……"

   "Captain Lu."

  Su Ming didn't say much, put his hand into the helmet with the mask open, took out the black card attached to the inside of the helmet, tightly packed it in his hand, and finally stuffed it into the interlayer of the exoskeleton.

   That's a backup of the power armor's action record.

The video in    may explain what happened here...

   Hearing that there was no movement outside, Meng Liang nervously walked out of the room beside him.

   Looking at the power armor standing motionless, he swallowed.

"ended?"

   "Ah, it's over," the battlefield guy said with a complicated expression, looking at the room at the end of the corridor, "The manager's office is just ahead."

   The three continued to move forward.

  The battlefield guy reached out and touched the movable door. He thought there would be some mechanism blocking the front, but he didn't expect the door to open easily.

   Behind the door is a modestly decorated room.

   There is only one book without books, a desk, a chair, and a terminal placed on the desk.

  Meng Liang walked forward quickly. After turning it on, he threw his hands on the touch keyboard and operated for a while, but he couldn't get into the system after trying for a long time.

   "Use this." Su Ming walked over to him, patted his shoulder, and handed over the hard drive that Yun Ye gave him before.

"thanks."

  Meng Liang reluctantly reached out to take it and plugged it into the port on the side of the terminal.

  With the introduction of the intelligent hacking program, after a brief operation, he finally got the password of the terminal in the manager's office.

   "The fire-fighting system in the power room has been activated, and the mother hive has gone dormant... It seems that the Willant and the researcher from the college are one step ahead of us." Meng Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and slumped on the chair in relief. 2

   In fact, as Yun Ye said, the terminal in the manager's office may not be able to bypass the core authority and shut down the reactor in the power room. …

  Fortunately, they made a second insurance and sent a team to the power room to manually activate the fire protection system, otherwise they would now face more trouble than the previous evolutionary body.

   "Anyway, the information here is what we need." Su Ming cast an interested look at the terminal, "What exactly is inside."

  "I'm watching, don't worry..."

  Meng Liang tapped with ten fingers on the virtual keyboard, and quickly unlocked the encrypted file stored in the terminal, and retrieved the data together.

   "The Torch Project..."

   Looking at the document opened on the screen, the more Meng Liang looked down, the tighter his brows became.

   Noticing the change in the expression on his face, the Battlefielder immediately asked.

   "What is written on it?"

  Meng Liang was silent for a moment, and finally gave way.

   "See for yourself."

   Looking at the text on the screen, the battlefield guy was dumbfounded.

  Although his daily communication is no big problem, oral language and written language are two different things. As far as he knows Braille, it is really no different from illiterate.

   Especially for this kind of professional literature, he couldn't even understand the abstract part.

   But fortunately, Su Ming next to him took the initiative to read it out, which solved his illiteracy.

   "・・・When all the light has been extinguished and the world has fallen into the endless night, we will hold the torch high, dispel all darkness, and rekindle the fire of civilization."

  The battlefield guy couldn't help but ask.

"What's the meaning?"

   With his eyes fixed on the screen, Meng Liang lowered his voice and said.

   "It's literally...the whole purpose of the 'Torch' project is not for any existing problems, but for a complete restart of a process that has entered an infinite loop after all plans have failed."

   After a pause, he continued.

   "This is not a conventional asylum method, but rather a shock treatment."

  The battlefield guy looked at him blankly.

   "・・・Is it necessary to do this?"

   Maybe because he is a player, his mentality is also the player's mentality, so he feels that the world is not too bad.

  Although the Age of Wasteland is undoubtedly like a rotten apple compared to the Age of Prosperity, he believes that it is not so rotten that it needs to be completely destroyed once.

   There are still many people living in this land, in their own way, creating their own civilization on the ruins.

  Meng Liang took a deep breath, stared at the screen and continued.

"I can only try to understand from their point of view... It is indeed difficult to clean up the ruins on the wasteland, predators, xenomorphs, mutants...and these are just small problems, and there are more deadly Mutant slime mold, that thing is hard to clean up even with a nuke."

   "According to the original plan stored in the terminal, the sponsor of the Torch Project tried to customize a special system. The whole system is mainly composed of two parts: 'fire' and 'handle'."

"The goal of the former is to remove more than 99% of the organic life on the surface of the planet with low side effects, leaving only a pure and pure environment. The goal of the latter is to turn the organisms that are beneficial to the new civilization into the surviving ones as much as possible. 1%, in a container called a 'handle'."…

"In the envisaged situation, when the 'torch' is ignited, the surface organisms will be harmlessly removed, and the organisms stored in the 'handle' will be released after screening, and the surface ecological environment will gradually recover to a prosperous era—— Even before the Prosperity Era."

  Looking blankly at the text in the terminal, Su Ming's face was full of disbelief.

   He couldn't believe it.

   Vault 0, which was rumored to end all suffering in the world and bring the era of wasteland to a close, turned out to be such a terrifying thing.

  "・・So the premise of this plan is to kill everyone on this planet?"

   "Yes," Meng nodded, his expression also full of complexity, "To be precise, it is to kill all organic life except the 'handle'."

   "In the era of the People's Federation, such a terrifying plan can even get a budget." The Battlefield Atmosphere Team couldn't help swallowing.

   Even the setting of the game, this sounds outrageous.

  Meng Liang scrolled down the contents of the plan, and after a moment of silence, he finally defended the People's Federation.

"This evil plan is not an official funding project of the People's Federation, but like many private shelters and commercial shelter projects, the main source of budget is social funds, or to put it more bluntly, it is mainly sponsored by a small number of social elites. The program, while regulated by the SPCA like other commercial shelter programs, is considered safe by the SPCA as the activation sequence is the last level."

"...This can still be safe?" "It's relatively safe, after all, this device will only be activated after confirming that all shelters and other shelter programs are bankrupt. In other words, at that time this There should be not many living people on the planet, and the rest are aliens or other things."

   After a pause, Meng Liang continued.

"It is very difficult to gain public support for this kind of project, so the project planners hide the whole content of the whole plan, and most people involved in the research only know part of the content of the plan. For example... If you are a researcher of the 'Fire' project team , then you probably think that you are developing a secret weapon for the People's Federation, and if you happen to be in the 'Handle' project team, at most you will know that you are participating in the development of some kind of solid refuge facility."

   "However, this plan did not succeed in the end. One was that the time was too late, and the other was that a researcher discovered the secret hidden by the top management.

  Conspiracy...When they realized they were being used to create a weapon that could kill themselves, almost all of them came out against the project. "

   "Although the sponsors of the program have repeatedly stated that the program will only be launched after all asylum programs have expired, people are already reluctant to believe in the elite who are full of lies."

"The Torch Project ended up going bankrupt with less than 20% of the budget...While there were countless shelter programs that went bust in the last years of the boom years, it was fairly rare that projects went bust due to collective opposition from the grassroots. "

   When he said this, Meng Liang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

   The whole plan is like an accidental product. …

   Its existence was an accident, and its bankruptcy was also an accident.

   As for whether the People's Federation authorities have ever been moved by the "super weapon capable of destroying 99% of organic life on the planet's surface" mentioned in this unfinished blueprint, no one knows.

   Everyone who has participated in this plan, whether they are against it or support it, has turned into the dust of history.

   "・・What about those unfinished materials? Where are they now?"

   When he said this, Su Ming glanced at the pangolin next to him without a trace, and his hand unconsciously touched the gun on his waist.

   Before coming down here, he didn't expect Vault 0 to be such a place.

   But the matter has come to this point, the box where the devil lives has been opened, and no matter whether the Torch Project is completed or not, the information related to that plan cannot fall into the hands of the Willantes.

   Coincidentally, the person he was guarding against went with him.

   If it's just a few black boxes or a few power armors, if the legion is divided, it will be divided, and the manager is not so stingy.

   But the nature of this thing is completely different…·

   It threatens not just the Alliance, but everyone on the planet.

If    is in the hands of the Willantes, there is no guarantee that those big noses will not do more evil things... · What will happen in the end, no one dares to guarantee.

   With his eyes fixed on the screen, Meng Liang's expression became solemn.

   "The data stored on the Vault's server has been deleted."

   "Deleted?!" Su Ming stared at him blankly, and said with an unbearable expression, "Only the experimental data was deleted... Is the plan still there?"!

"The plan has been disclosed to the public after the bankruptcy of the entire plan, and it is not a confidential document, and the plan is stored in the main server program in read-only mode, unless full administrator rights are obtained. Only use this terminal The machine cannot be deleted."

When    said this, Meng Liang, who was tapping his fingers on the virtual keyboard, suddenly stopped.

   Noticing the change in his expression, Su Ming hurriedly asked.

"What's wrong?"

  Meng Liang hesitated for a moment, and finally confessed, considering that he was here alone and that the company was an ally.

"The method of deleting those data is not very clever. If you spend a little time, it can actually be repaired... No, in fact, until two months ago, someone has been trying to repair the deleted data. The archives of the x-13 area. , Some terminals have records of frequent access to the database, and as of two months ago, the repair work has been completed."

   "However, the restorer did not upload the restored data to the library... Probably saved in a portable hard disk or something."

"The x-13 area...the Pioneer crew seems to be there." The fieldman said in a low voice, while glancing at Su Ming's right hand, he unconsciously put his hand on the distance weapon comparison near place.

   An eerie atmosphere lingers in the room.

  While Su Ming was entangled in what to do, the warlord was also entangled in his heart, should he confess his identity as an undercover agent?

   Is it really a good thing to let companies know that he is actually an undercover agent of the Alliance? …

   Taking the data as a legion and letting Ye Shi bring the data back to the alliance is not an option... Anyway, outsiders may not know what happened here.

  Compared with those ancient survivor forces, the Alliance is still too weak... But if the weapon described in the Torch Project can be mastered, the Alliance may have enough capital to be equal to the fallen empires.

   Of course, it could also anger them outright.

   The Battlefield guy was dumbfounded to find that the button that decided the direction of the world line seemed to be shoved into his hand again.

What should I do?

   Countless thoughts flashed quickly in his mind.

  When Velich instigated him to assassinate Griffin, he had never been as tangled as he is today.

   "That's weird."

   didn't notice the two people beside him with different thoughts. Meng Liang stared straight at the screen and whispered to himself.

   "...I thought those data were deleted by them."

   Refuge Powerhouse.

  In the reaction chamber of the reactor, the dark red mother nest is like the heart of the human body, beating regularly.

   The reactor at the center was almost completely engulfed by it.

   It can be clearly found that each agitation of the mother nest has increased a little bit more than the last time, and the frequency has also increased.

   Looking at the hatching follicles through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Wall-E, holding an assault rifle, only felt a tingling in his scalp.

   At this moment, they are only separated from the mother nest by a floor-to-ceiling window.

  While the newly hatched fruit bodies couldn't have smashed the window and dashed into his face, it was no problem to copy them along the corridor outside the powerhouse.

   Watching one of the follicles burst and an unknown lifeform crawled out of it, Walli couldn't help but urged.

   "Hey, how long is it from the academy?"

"almost."

   "If your mother-in-law is under Lao Tzu-"

"To shut up."

   Ignoring the rude Willante, Jiang Xuezhou stared at the console with a blank expression, and clapped his hands together.

   Finally, the last firewall broke through, and a relieved expression finally appeared on her face.

   "Done?!" Wall-E asked immediately.

"Um."

   left the operation interface with both hands, Jiang Xuezhou turned his attention to the floor-to-ceiling window beside him.

   Almost at the same time, in the reaction chamber separated from them by a wall, the partitions of the ceiling opened outwards, and the milky white mist crystals poured down like a waterfall, showering on the mother nest attached to the reactor.

   The agitating mother hive shrank in an instant, as if to dodge aside except for electricity, and at the same time stretched out meat-like tentacles, trying to block the source of the coolant.

   I have to say, this guy is very smart, and his self-help ideas are also very clear.

   But with enough coolant to cool the reactor, this level of struggle is futile.

   Including those follicles connected by tentacles, the brood that was still alive a second ago was instantly frozen into ice cubes.

  The entire room, even the water vapor in the air, was frozen into ice crystals, and a layer of hoarfrost condensed on the inside of the floor-to-ceiling windows. …

   Seeing that the hive was frozen, Wall-E finally breathed a sigh of relief. While pressing down the muzzle, he finally relaxed his tense nerves.

   "Nice job."

   Jiang Xuezhou ignored him and just stared at the world whose time had been suspended by the frost, for a while, he was a little lost.

What a nice view……

  Although there is no less snow in the wandering swamp, she has rarely appreciated it like this.

   At this moment, an untimely light cough came from the side.

"Hey, I know you're too lazy to talk to me, but I'll tell you anyway, I'm going to go to the manager's office to meet with my servant, if you want to stay here with you, if you want to come with me, hurry up. "

   "Who wants to be with you." Jiang Xuezhou rolled his eyes, but thought that his destination was also there, so he gritted his teeth. 3

  Wall-E grinned and put the rifle on his shoulder.

  The crisis has been lifted.

  The brood is the biggest threat here.

   However, at this moment, a dangerous omen suddenly flooded into his heart, and he almost reflexively raised the muzzle and opened the safety.

   "Get down!"

   Seeing the sudden action of the Willante, Jiang Xuezhou widened his eyes in surprise.

   "What are you doing—"

   Before she could finish her voice, gunshots rang out from the corner of the room without warning.

   "Thumbs up—!"

   Almost at the same time, Wall-E quickly turned the muzzle and pulled the trigger, but the bullets that were shot seemed to hit a wall of air, only creating a circle of twisted ripples.

  Three shots in the chest and one in the shoulder, Wall-E groaned and fell back to the ground

   At the position swept by the assault rifle in his hand, a slender figure emerged from behind the spreading ripples.

   The man was wearing a set of light-weight exoskeletons, and under the breastplate, which was cracked by bullets, was a blue coat.

   She holds a silenced pistol in her hand, her strong figure and scars under her neck can be seen, her strength is obviously unusual.

   There was a trace of embarrassment written on the wheat-colored face at this moment, and it was obvious that the shuttle that Wall-E swept over earlier did not have no effect on her.

   It’s just that compared to Wall-E lying on the ground, her condition is still much better.

   Optical camouflage? !

   Jiang Xuezhou was shocked and immediately ordered.

   "Xiao Wang, kill her!"

   However, her voice just fell, and before her robot dog fully deployed the weapon system, an emp grenade rolled beside her robot dog. 6

   At the same time, the man stepped forward and kicked the self-defense pistol in her hand, and then a strong hand grabbed her neck firmly.

   "Wooka-"

   Difficulty breathing, her face instantly turned the color of pig liver.

   She only felt as if her neck was being clamped by a pair of iron clamps, no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break it, and then the whole person was lifted up by that hand.

   That flowing movement made her unable to react at all.

   But it was.

   She is not a front-line fighter at all, and the speed, strength and experience of this person in front of her are far from her level.

   looked at the little sheep that he was holding in his hand, and the woman's mouth made a mocking sound of tsk tsk. …

"too weak."

   Lying on the ground and panting, Vanus quietly held the pistol hidden in his waist to look for an opportunity, and squinted at the strange face, unable to remember where he had seen her. 20

   The only thing he recognized was the coat that no wastelander would be familiar with.

   While not everyone who wears it is a Vault Dweller, it is undoubtedly standard for every Vault Dweller.

"Who are you?"

"you guess?"

   Having said that, the woman didn't give him a chance to guess, and she didn't intend to leave any holes for this dishonest guy.

   The right hand holding the silenced pistol waved casually, and she aimed at his upper body and pulled the trigger until the last shot in the magazine was emptied.

   Half of his face was shot with blood and blood, and Walli lay silently in the pool of blood, and the pistol in his right hand also fell out.

   Looking at the teammates who died in the blink of an eye, Jiang Xuezhou's face completely lost the color of blood, and he looked at the man pinching her neck in horror, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

  Especially when the person looked at her again, she even felt that for a moment, her heart stopped beating.

   "Well, your face is pretty."

   Looking at the face full of horror, the woman's eyes rolled, and a penetrating smile suddenly appeared on the wheat-colored face.

   "It's mine now."

   Ignoring Jiang Xuezhou's desperate struggle, the woman took off a C-shaped glasses from her waist and forcibly pressed it on her face.

   The green signal light flashes.

  Jiang Xuezhou, who was wearing the nerve connection device, shook his body as if he was electrocuted for a moment, and then the tensed muscles and nerves relaxed together.

   Confirming that the victim has entered the virtual world, the woman smiled and patted the fair face and threw her in the corner.

   "Enjoy slowly."

   "Don't thank me, let you recall some beautiful moments at the last moment of your life."

   At the same time as she dropped these words, she reloaded the silenced pistol that had emptied the bullets. At the same time, the wheat-colored skin was gradually replaced by the fairness that had not been exposed to the sun for a long time.

The   transformed optical image not only changed her appearance, hair color, but even her dress, even the slightest details were not missed.

   But compared to the broken optical camouflage, this holographic repair system is not easy to use.

   It’s not good to be far away, and it’s not good to be too close, so we can only deal with it for a short time.

   If you really want to become another person completely, you still have to read each other's memory carefully and have cosmetic surgery.

   She will consider doing this when she goes back.

  If the respected Lord Guixu thinks that it is necessary to use that female researcher's identity for a waste...  

   took out the time bomb hanging from her waist, and the woman stuck it on the floor-to-ceiling window not far away.

   One last glance at the frozen reactor, she turned and left the power room, walking towards the x-13 area.

The    operation on the surface should have ended.

   The phase guns deployed nearby are enough to paralyze the two airships, and the troops led by Lord Guixu himself will also attack at the same time.

   Now, it's time for her to wake up her dormant compatriots and retrieve what belongs to them from this ancient ruin...
