This Game is Too Real

   "Today is January 1, 2342 of the old calendar, and January 1, 213 of the Wasteland Era. The following is the news of the Alliance today."

   "The New Year's Eve event ended successfully, and all the settlements of the alliance held a grand celebration ceremony that night to celebrate the arrival of the new year..."

"The city hall of the giant rock city announced that the curfew will be lifted from today, and the blockade of the gates of the giant wall will be officially lifted from now on. At the same time, the city entrance tax collected for the construction of the giant wall will be cancelled, and the height of the giant wall will be lifted. no more."

   "On the other hand, in order to deal with the impact of the turbulent situation in Qingquan City, a volunteer team of 200 people composed of teachers, medical staff, biologists and engineers has arrived at Dawning City North Airport from Ideal City."

"The manager said in his New Year's Eve speech that improving the living standards of residents is still the focus of the alliance's work in the new year. At present, the registered population of the alliance has exceeded the one million mark. In addition to the affordable housing and rail transit under construction, the alliance There will also be 12 new full-time schools, as well as 8 social support facilities…”

   "The Daily Survivor Radio has you covered!"

   The firewood crackled in the fireplace.

  The warm temperature made people drowsy, as if even the eloquent voice of the radio and the movement of the wall clock were stretched.

  This is Dust Town, located on the edge of the ruins of Jinhe City in Jinchuan Province, seven or eight hundred kilometers away from Qingquan City, which is equivalent to the distance between Jiangcheng and Shancheng in reality.

  Since Boulder City joined the Alliance, the Alliance has recently built several new signal stations, and many broadcast stations, including the Survivor Daily, have added medium-wave and short-wave signal bands.

  Although there are special climates such as radioactive clouds on the wasteland, it will affect the electromagnetic wave signal, but this interference is not absolute.

   Now Jinchuan Province can also hear some voices from the alliance intermittently.

"so good."

   Listening to the content on the radio, I thought Jing Jing had a little fascination on his face.

  New Year's Eve event, I heard that as long as you participate, there will be red envelopes, the minimum prize is 6 silver coins, and the maximum is a dragoon power armor.

   And the one with no level limit!

Pity…

  This event is only available within the alliance.

   There are only three players in the entire Dust Town. Although the locals were pulled by them to hold a sacrifice, the food as a tribute was only poor.

   distributed the unfinished tribute to the children in the village to eat. He didn’t go online at all last night, so he went offline and ordered a takeaway to enjoy. _o_m

   sighed, quietly looked at the lizard huddled by the fireplace and shouted.

   "Hey, garbage brother."

   Picking up trash, level 99, buckled his butt, changed his position, and replied lazily.

   "What are you doing."

  I want to say quietly.

   "We've been staying here for half a year, how long are we going to stay?"

   We agreed to go south together.

   As a result, the other two guys stayed here and didn't leave.

   Junkie said with a smile.

   "Don't be in a hurry, the matter of 'Naguo' has not been resolved yet, we can't just leave those villagers alone, right?"

  According to the information on the official website, it has been confirmed that Nago and Emerald Fruit are the same thing. They are suspected to come from the Nanyang Islands and flow into the southern part of the Central Continent through the ports of the Dead Coast.

  …

   Jinchuan province is one of the most affected provinces.

  Combined with the prediction of the next version on the official website, Jun Jun and the strongman brothers agreed that there is some kind of ulterior conspiracy behind that Nago.

   So they decided to stay.

   On the one hand, he observed the situation of the user in the village, and on the other hand, he sent some observed samples back to the biological research institute in the alliance.

   At the same time monitor the movements of the mutant tribe called "Qi".

   However, it has been several months, and neither Nago nor the mutant tribe have new moves, I think Quiet feels a little bit. (This chapter is not over!)

   a little impatient.

   They haven't made any progress for months!

   If you don't continue to go south, forget it. Anyway, team up and go home and save a file!

   Looking at the laid-back trash man, I think Jingjing couldn't help but complain.

   "Aren't you addicted to being a god?"

   Junk Jun was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

   "Hahaha, how could it be!"

   That smile was somewhat false.

  I thought Jingjing couldn't help rolling his eyes.

   At this time, there was Dong Dongdong's knock on the door, and the sound seemed to be coming from the floor.

   Guessing who was coming, he sighed, got up from the chair covered with blankets, walked over and opened the door.

   A fat mouse that was as high as knees came in from the outside, and the cold wind swept into the house together made Garbage Jun shrink his neck.

   "Something happened."

   As soon as he heard that something was wrong, Jingjing suddenly became excited, and the garbage gentleman who was lying on the edge of the fireplace was no longer sleepy, and he got up and came over.

"what's up?!"

   "Talk about it!"

   Seeing the excited expressions of the two companions, Qiangren cleared his throat and said mysteriously.

   "Haven't I been staring at that Hope Town all this time? A few magic sticks came there yesterday."

  I wanted to be silent for a while.

   "God stick?"

"Well, it's the pastor or the apostle anyway. I thought there was something wrong with those people, so I followed up to eavesdrop on their conversation, and said a bunch of messes. In short, the light of the sky fire will soon shine on this place. A land corrupted by chaos, where all sins will be purged, embrace glorious evolution to join the kingdom of God free from all misery and sickness...then they ask the locals to build a church for their Son."

  I want to ask quietly.

   "What does evolution mean..."

   was the only keyword he understood.

   Qiangren shook his head.

   "I don't know, maybe it's Nago, I thought Nago was brought by mutants at first, but I didn't expect it to be the ghosts from the guys in the south..."

   said, he stretched out a finger and dipped the snow water on his hair, and drew two upside-down triangles on the floor.

   "Their robes have this symbol painted on them."

   Junk Jun leaned in and took a look, his brows gradually wrinkled.

   "torch?"

   Strongman nodded his head.

   "Well, Torch Church."

  I wanted to pat the back of my head quietly, and said somewhat incomprehensibly.

   "Actually...I don't quite understand why you guys are staring at that Torch Church so closely. As long as they don't cause trouble, it doesn't really matter what you believe."

  …

There seems to be a lot of people in the    Alliance who believe in the Big Horned Deer God, and most of the survivors in Luoxia Province also believe in their Sand Sea Spirit.

   When there is no law to control what people say and do, faith can play a little role.

  Although the Torch Project is not a good thing, the Torch Church seems to have nothing to do with it except for the symbols.

   He is a newcomer in the b test, and he doesn’t know much about what happened in the a test.

   Qiangren glanced at him. @ Essence\/Book Pavilion*First update~~

   "What if there were mutants in the missionaries?"

  I thought I was stunned.

"Mutant?!"

Don't    mutants treat people as food?

  What belief is so popular that it can assimilate all mutants! ?

   Junk Jun grinned and said.

   "Even if there is no such thing, we can't let them go. I don't forget, when the bone-chewing chaos

   Waiting, the Legion and the Free State provided the looters with weapons, and they provided the looters with faith and high technology, and the first batch of neural connection equipment of the Alliance was seized from them. "

   The middle of the river valley province was almost completely slaughtered by these guys. Many residents of the alliance are survivors of that heroic battle, and this account will be settled sooner or later. Error free update@

"I don't know what they're going to do, but I have a bad feeling... and if the surrounding settlements believe in that torch, what about the big horned rat and the big horned deer god?"

   When I heard the first half of the sentence, I thought I was still thinking seriously, but when I heard the second half of the sentence, I almost choked on my own saliva.

   "...you're just worried that you'll be kicked off the altar!"

   Garbage Jun coughed and ignored his complaints.

   "Anyway... When it comes to the Torch Church, this matter can't be sloppy. I'll go to the official website to ask everyone's opinion."

   What he was really afraid of was another thing.

  Perhaps it was not the Torch Church that assimilated mutants, but those lunatics in some way, planned to turn people into mutants, and made the land here only suitable for mutants to survive.

  The long-term consumption of Nagu by ordinary people and animals will produce hallucinogenic effects and enter a state called "divine wandering".

   However, for mutants, Nago seems to have only the good part. They will grow stronger and have a greater chance of fighting and breeding.

   The mutant tribe that survived by looting was at most a hundred people, but the mutants in the great desert learned to plant, breed and master the social division of labor, and only increased the number to more than a thousand.

   And here, the mutant tribe called "Qi" has a scale of more than ten thousand!

  It is impossible to maintain such a large population with primitive farming methods alone.

   Intuition tells him that there may be some serious conspiracy brewing in this land...

   Closing his amber eyes, the "Lizard God" of Dust Town hurriedly went offline and went to the official website.

   Quietly opened his mouth and was about to say something when a sudden knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

   walked over and opened the door, only to see the village chief standing at the door and said nervously.

  …

   "Sir, I'm sorry to disturb you... There are guests at the entrance of the village."

   asked quietly with a frown.

   "Guests? What kind of guests?"

It is winter now, and there are hardly any merchants wandering around outside, and some merchants go straight to their destination for safety reasons, not because they are running out of supplies, and they will not approach those settlements that do not seem to be very wealthy at all. .

  The village chief lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully.

   "That guy claimed to be the servant of the Lord of the Son, full of nonsense, saying that we were blinded by savagery and wanted to save us from suffering..."

   said, the old man clenched his fists and cursed indignantly.

   "I told them all, we have our own beliefs, and we don't need their fallacies, let alone their Naguo!"

   Jingjing met the fat mouse behind him.

   Good guy!

  …

  Boulder City Hall, Administrator's Office.

  While the players were chatting on the official website, an investigation report from the Guards Corps was being held by Chu Guang.

   Long before it snowed, he had Lu Bei take out a hundred troops from the Guards Corps and headed to Jinchuan Province in the south to collect information on "Naguo".

   At that time, Nago first appeared at the festival of the Alliance.

  Although Heya told him that the thing was not as scary as he imagined, he still smelled a hint of conspiracy.

   The investigation results of the Guards Corps and the discussions of the players on the forum also just confirmed his previous speculation. _o_m

  …

   "It seems that it's not just viruses and bacteria... Even the Torch Church, mutants, slave owners in the south, these three pieces of garbage that can't be beaten by eight poles, are all mixed together by this little fruit."

   After reading the report in his hand to the end, Chu Guang couldn't help but click his tongue.

  According to the investigation results of the Guard Corps, the sphere of influence of the Torch Church and the cultivation sphere of Nago highly overlap! This is obviously not a coincidence!

Those believers took advantage of the fact that slave owners in Jinchuan province lost the grain market in the southern part of the river valley province, and secretly promoted a cash crop called "Naguo", and then exported it to the settlements of survivors who were completely inseparable from Naguo. Torch of Faith.

   As for why the survivors were so obedient, the clues that the Guards investigated was that the Torch Church had an antidote called "Holy Water".

   As we all know, most people and animals will become more and more docile after long-term consumption of nachos, and will occasionally enter a hallucinatory state called "god wandering".

The specific manifestation of    is that he loses his response to all external stimuli, and is immersed in the illusion of happiness until he dies. Even if he is preyed, he will not resist.

   is like a nematode to a praying mantis.

   Taking into account the characteristics of Nago, people or animals who enter the state of "god wandering" will become Nago in another sense, and will continue to pass the "seed" along the food chain.

  Only mutants, Death Claws, these powerful species that were born in the laboratory, can exempt Nago from captivity to a certain extent.

  The holy water developed by the Torch Church can make people wake up from the state of "god wandering" and live in a happy illusion.

At first, some slave owners just let their slaves eat Nago, so that the slaves could become docile and obedient. Later, after the slave owners realized the "benefits" of Nago, they began to eat Nago themselves, and finally willingly offered to the torch holding the holy water. The church offers loyalty.

   And Torch Church does more than that.

   They play the role of shepherds, indoctrinating survivor settlements and turning people there into sheep in the sheepfold.

   At the same time, they used the lambs in the sheepfold to buy the mutants in Jinchuan province.

  The addict who enters the state of "god wandering" will not be broken no matter how tossed it. For the brutal mutants, it is not only the most delicious food, but also the best seedbed for breeding offspring.

   This is also a clue found by the Guards during the investigation.

  The original slave owners of Jinchuan Province, relying on the weapons produced in the southern part of the River Valley Province, can compete with the mutants.

  However, after being infected with Nago, those survivor settlements who had the upper hand lost their ability to fight almost immediately, and were quickly brought into the sphere of influence by the Torch Church.

  At the same time, mutants rarely invade survivor colonies that have been brought into the sphere of influence by the Torch Church, and will withdraw quickly even after a brief invasion.

   This undoubtedly shows that the Torch Church and the mutants in Jinchuan Province should have reached some kind of tacit agreement, or even a contract.

   After reading the report on Nago, Chu Guang turned to another investigation report on the Torch Church.

   Previously he was one. (This chapter is not over!)

   Chapter 556 Plague burns on torches

  …

   He suspected that there was a connection between the Torch Church and the Enlightenment Church, but to his surprise, the investigation results of the Guard Regiment pointed in the opposite direction.

The core of the    Torch Project is to first destroy the world and then create the world, and finally realize the rebirth of Nirvana in the sense of civilization.

The teachings of the    Torch Church are in the same vein as the unfinished Torch Project. They also agree that the world should be destroyed once, but the specific route is completely different from the Enlightenment.

   What they want to build is not a new world ruled by pre-war elites, but hope that through biological technology, human beings can complete the cocoon of a species and become a butterfly - that is, to hatch the cocoon of new human beings with the civilization heritage of old human beings!

   They do not have efficient neutron killing technology, nor do they expect to remove all species on the surface with one click.

   Their real purpose is to make the land suitable for "their own defined life forms" in a long and slow process through the biotechnology they are best at.

   They promised believers that all survivors of suffering or sin in the old world will receive eternal blessings in the new world.

   In human words, as long as the believers work diligently and contribute to the Torch Church plan, they can become great "gestalt beings" in the new world.

   And the so-called Gestalt life forms are both the root of the Willands, the eight-fold growth clones and the mutants - the singularity technology that was not completed in the pre-war era.

   This is no doubt a crazy plan.

   If the Enlightenment is a phobia against the post-war order and the old civilization, then the Torch Church is a phobia against the old man in a species sense.

   In the teachings of the Church of the Torch, mutants are explained as "intermediate products on the road of human beings to gestalts".

Those vulgar savage orangutans are not perfect, either in an aesthetic sense or in a civilized sense, yet in the teachings of the Church of the Torch, the mutants who are better adapted to the wasteland than the old humans are still higher than The old man, and has a higher "" than the old man. @ Essence\/Book Pavilion*First update~~

  So they will use biological technology to turn some devout believers into noble mutants, giving them unmatched physiques and privileges over ordinary human believers-that is, those docile lambs!

   But the higher-ups in the Torch Church will not take the initiative to become mutants.

   They are still waiting for a more perfect container.

   And those in the middle of the church who have become mutants are also waiting for a better container, ready to transform into a new life form at any time.

   "...There is no doubt that the Torch Church is the most pressing trouble of the moment, far more pressing than the criminals to the north."

   After reading the report to the end, Chu Guangyan made a succinct evaluation.

"I think so too," Lu Bei, who was standing beside him, nodded and continued in a deep voice, "But there is one thing that makes me a little concerned. The nuclear fuel that the college gave us happens to be in Jinhe City. 'The mutant tribe is there too... I suspect those sly researchers are planning to use us as gunmen."

   Although it was an obvious thing, Chu Guang unexpectedly gave the young man another look and smiled approvingly.

  …

   "Yes, I'm glad you can see that."

  Lu Bei smiled embarrassedly.

   "It's all your advice..."

  Chu Guangtan smiled and looked at the map hanging on the wall. His eyes crossed the Free State and the Great Rift Valley and landed on the Wandering Swamp in the north.

   "Many of us have the impression of the Academy as a bunch of nerds. In fact, those guys are not stupid at all, but very cunning."

   "Their hearts might be bigger than the Legion and the Enterprise combined, and they are good at disguising. In order to make us willing to take the bait, they will deliberately pretend to let us take a bargain. We fought with the Legion in Luoxia Province.

By the time   , eight of them had already set their sights on our south. "

  Lu Bei frowned.

   "Sure enough..."

  Chu Guang nodded.

   "This is. (This chapter is not over!)

   Chapter 556 Plague burns on torches

   Yang Conspiracy, even if we know that they are using us, at present we can only go in the direction they envision. "

   That is one thousand cubic meters of liquid helium three!

   A full 127 tons of nuclear fusion fuel!

   Whether it is for the power armor of the alliance or the fusion reactor in Xizhou City, he must get these energy sources!

   Even if he was to help the academy once more, this generous energy would be more than enough as a reward.

   And the Torch Church will soon reach out to Jinhe City. If the Alliance does nothing, those nuclear fuels may be in the Torch Church's hands.

   Looking away from the map, Chu Guang spoke slowly. _o_m

   "Little Qi."

   A vigorous voice came from his ears.

   "I am here, Master."

   Without any hesitation, Chu Guang immediately ordered.

   "Notify the Burning Corps to have at least one hundred troops stand by in Boulder City, and send them to Jinhe City, Jinchuan Province within three days!"

   also responded to his voice without any hesitation.

"receive!".
