This Game is Too Real

  “. Recently, the concentration of spores in the air of Qingquan City has continued to rise. According to the analysis results of the Union Institute of Biology, the wave will occur within two weeks.

At present, the Alliance Army Command has designated some urban areas of Qingquan City as temporary strategic preparation areas. Residents in Jushi City and Shuguang City must pay attention to their personal safety, try to avoid activities in these areas, and do not let others outside the settlement unless necessary. Stay in the city for a long time.

  But you don’t need to panic too much, especially friends who are newcomers. The annual wave is already a repertoire in Qingquan City. Even though they are turbulent, the final victory must belong to us who are united!

   "Survivor Daily" will bring you the latest battle report on the front line first-hand!

  Boulder City, Pirate's Cove Tavern, the lively atmosphere is like a blazing fire, and the sounds of toasting and noise can be heard endlessly.

  Looking at the old-fashioned radio with a holographic screen on the bar, the man who drank too much hiccupped and suddenly let out a sigh of emotion.

   "It's really nostalgic.

  The drinker on the side looked at him.

   "What do you miss?"

   "House's Radio,"

  The man laughed, cleared his throat and said loudly, my dearest and dearest audience friend

   Ladies and gentlemen, the tide is coming, and the peasants and beggars outside the huge wall are looking at us with affluent lives. Of course we won't open the door, and we can watch their jokes by the warm fire, watch them howl with hunger, and watch them wallow in the mire with the corpse eaters. As for our boys, under the wise command of the militia regiment, casualties were minimal. Although a few people died, those people didn't have a single chip in their pockets, so they couldn't be counted as people from Boulder City. "

  He imitated House's exaggerated voice, and because he learned it too funny, everyone couldn't help laughing after hearing it.

   "House ha ha ha!"

   "If you don't tell me, I'd almost forget about this guy!"

  The days are getting better day by day.

   Occasionally though, they still think back to the bad old days, and the guys who have gone away.

  Some things can only be seen clearly when looking back. You don't even need to add notes, just read what Mr. House said again, and everyone will smile knowingly.

   "Speaking of which, where did he go?"

"I also heard that he went to Honghe Town at first, but the mine bosses there didn't listen to the radio at all, so he had to go to Garbage City again. It turned out that there happened to be his audience there, but they all thought he was Expelled from the Union, the MPs there were too scared to even let him in the door."

   "Hahaha, I don't think the manager is as knowledgeable as this guy. If he really was as knowledgeable as him, he wouldn't even

  's door can't get out.

   "I heard that he later moved to the Buguera Free State, where no matter who he is, he can continue to do his old job."

  After the upheaval, many nobles in the inner city and businessmen who helped the nobles ran to the north where money can buy everything.

  For example, Wei Jia, who has heard of it pretty well, used to look like a slave, but after going there, she turned out to be a decent person.

   This guy is like a loach, which got into the mud pond from the semi-clear water, and his life is more turbulent than before. …

   But they don't envy that guy.

  For the vast majority of people here, they have had enough of the "winner takes all the pain", and whoever likes to eat can eat it by himself.

   They won’t be envious if they win, and they won’t feel pity if they lose. They will only go their own way in the future.

  At this time, there was a sound of wind chimes at the door, and wet footprints stepped on the wooden floor. Qiao Yin, the head of the militia regiment who had just got off work, strode towards this side.

   "It's not appropriate for you to blame our militia. We have done a job, although I also admit that we did not do much before."

  Everyone turned their eyes to the direction of the voice, and saw that it was Qiao Yin, and the face of the man who imitated House suddenly showed a surprised expression.

  Love, said with a laugh.

   "Qiao Yin? Of course we are not targeting you, we all know you are a good person, how are you doing recently?"

   As he spoke, he took the initiative to open the chair for Qiao Yin.

  Sit down politely, Qiao Yin took the hot towel from the bartender and wiped his face.

  The air quality is bad these days.

  Although the survivors here have long been accustomed to the musty air, they still inevitably get their faces and hair dirty.

  The towel also thanked the bartender, Qiao Yin ordered a cup of hot mead, and said in a casual tone.

  As before, we mainly undertake defensive tasks, and the Alliance did not make things difficult for us. As long as we can contain part of the wave in the vicinity of the giant wall, they will launch an active attack from the North Third Ring Road and put pressure on our enemies. "

  The man put his hand on his shoulder and shook it, and said seriously.

   "Don't stand alone when you have difficulties, tell us, we can fight too."

  The others were the same, looking at him without joking. Qiao Yin froze for a moment, then laughed out loud.

   "Hahaha, come on, you, fight with a wine bottle? It's better to leave the professional work to us professional people."

  The man also grinned, but his expression was still a little uneasy. After all, the residents of the inner city have been responsible for the

  Fu Langchao, this year is not only the first time they face this threat by themselves, but also the most turbulent wave after catching up with the warm winter.

   "Do you have enough people?" Qiao Yin said with a smile.

  "There has never been a shortage, let alone a group of useful guys this year.

   "Handy guy?"

   "Slum thugs who trade with marauders."

  Hearing this sentence, the people in the tavern quickly remembered the crackdown at the beginning of the year.

  The group of gangsters are also quite stupid. The alliance has long disliked them, but they have always thought that it is the problem of Boulder City and are too lazy to deal with it.

  Now that Boulder City has also joined the alliance, the slums hidden under the huge wall have become a problem for the alliance. Not only do those blind **** not know how to restrain themselves, they even set their minds on the residents of the refuge.

I heard that the manager was in Boulder City at that time. After hearing the news, he waved his hand, and a dozen tanks that had just come down from the front line turned around and surrounded the slums under the corner. The suspected gang members were directly taken away for interrogation. Gun resistance was executed on the spot.

   I don’t know how many died in the end, but there must have been more than 5,000 people caught. …

  After that day, the whole slum was quiet, Boulder

   Orphanages and orphanages are filled to the brim with rescued children.

  “. I heard that the administrator organized them into a punishment camp and received three months of military training in Qingshi County.”

   After taking the mead handed over by the bartender, Qiao Yin took a sip and cleared his throat.

   "It's time for them to pay their debts."

   Near the Geological Park in Qingshi County, there is a closed camp.

  Different from the geological park next to it that was transformed into a mine pit, people here don’t need to spend the whole day in the dark mine like those predators, after all, their crimes are not as serious as the predators.

   So they only need to work 10 hours.

As for the rest of the time, it is to receive harsh military training, use wooden sticks instead of rifles to learn how to stab and hold guns, crawl in the snow, exercise courage in the machine gun fire and close-up artillery fire, and fight for the future. Prepare for the coming wave.

   Some of those who couldn't hold on died in training, or collapsed in the mine, but that was a minority.

  Even though the terrifying amount of training was insane, the vitality of the wastelanders itself was tenacious, so there were still people in the early 5,000s who survived.

  In just three months, these ruffian guys have completely changed their appearance, even if they were fat with fatty liver

  The guy lost his neck.

  People will only know the value of freedom and dignity after losing their freedom and dignity, and the meaning of prison is also here.

  After the training of the punishment camp, even if these villains were not enough to understand the etiquette and shame of civilized people, at least they made them remember the punishment with their bodies.

  After the day's training ended as usual, the officer of the 1,000th Corps of the Union's First Corps called a group of hundreds of prisoners to the cafeteria and announced the mission in two weeks.

  Although it was expected, when they heard that they would step on the battlefield as cannon fodder, the faces of everyone still showed timid and apprehensive expressions.

  However, facing the timidity of the crowd, the officer continued to speak expressionlessly.

   "This year's wave is different from previous years. Many of you will die, even the vast majority."

  A prisoner swallowed, mustered up the courage to look at the officer and asked.

   "What if we survived?"

  The officer glanced at him, knew what he wanted to ask, and continued.

   "If you survive, you can win the qualifications as human beings. As for whether you can become a resident of the alliance, it depends on your performance.

   "However, the manager promises. After the wave is over, whether you have won the approval of the alliance residents or not, you will not

  I will come back here again, and I can go to the south to reclaim wasteland as a "supervised person" and open up new settlements there.

   “If you behave well, you have a chance to become a resident.”

  Hearing this sentence, many prisoners showed joyful expressions on their faces. No matter how bad the situation in the south is, it is better than here. Besides, isn’t there a Singularity City there?

   As long as they are not exiled to fend for themselves in the wasteland, or thrown in the mines to die like a beast, it is acceptable to them. …

  However, there are some people who know about the situation in Jinchuan Province, which might be the alliance's next battlefield, so some people also show a sad expression.

  Looking at the prisoners whispering to each other, the officer continued with a blank expression.

"I'm not bargaining with you, you have only two choices, either give up being human like those predators and work in the mines to your death, or pick up your last pitiful dignity, at least let us see that you are willing to sacrifice for human beings die as an identity."

   The cafeteria was quiet for a while.

  A prisoner stood up first and raised his right hand.

   "I would like to go." "Your name?"

   Facing the officer’s question, the man hesitated for a moment, then lowered his

   said with his head.

   Dagger. "

   In the slums of Boulder City, there are quite a few people with this name. Some people who have no names at first will be given names such as daggers, kitchen knives, and axes after joining the gang.

   Looking at the wrinkled growths on his arms, the officer frowned.

   Members of the Dagger Gang will tattoo a dagger on their arms as a status symbol. Other gangs have similar habits. The alliance used these tattoos to capture many grassroots members of the gang.

   Later, these guys entered the punishment camp, and at the request of the supervisors, they were either burned or sanded to remove all the marks on their bodies, but the scars would still remain.

   Probably guessed the guy's identity, but the officer didn't say anything.

   "From today onwards, your name is Bit, and you will be in charge of these one hundred people."

   Raising his arm and looking at the time on the watch, he continued, "Before turning off the lights and going to bed, count the people who will stay."

  Bit breathed a sigh of relief, wrote down his new name, and gave a military salute.

"Yes, sir."

   With two weeks left before the tide, preparations for war

  The work has entered the final stage.

  A large amount of military materials were transported into Shuguang City along the railway, and then transported to various positions in the urban area of ​​Qingquan City through transport trucks.

  After the alliance with Boulder City, the alliance repaired the main traffic arteries in the urban area, no matter what part of the ground

  fen is still the underground part.

  The edge of the North Fifth Ring Road.

  Chu Guang, who was wearing power armor, inspected the situation of the frontline positions accompanied by a wrench.

  Although the defense line is still the same as a year ago, it has undergone earth-shaking changes just like Dawn City.

  If the army of the alliance before was just a group of miscellaneous armed forces mixed with World War II and Cold War weapons, then what is standing here now is an out-and-out regular army.

  Fully automatic weapons have not only been installed in the whole army, but have even been distributed to squads.

  A series of 155 artillery pieces with thick and long barrels stand like a forest on the position.

  It’s hard to imagine that just a year ago, most of the alliance’s artillery was either third-hand goods seized from looters, or fake goods that Brother Mosquito pulled a group of players who were tortured like him.

   Not just artillery.

   There are also auxiliary equipment such as exoskeletons.

  At the beginning, the "KV-1" exoskeleton welded a few steel plates.

   Good equipment, now even the workers who load and unload goods are wearing the "miner" exoskeleton produced in Ideal City. …

   Of course, it's not just people and equipment.

   The most intuitive change is the entire position itself.

The tall buildings are connected by concrete walls topped with barbed wire to form the innermost line of defense, and then extend outwards one after another, relying on the skyscrapers as natural shelters to build firepower fulcrums, leaving only a few main roads to install Access gates.

   Those high-rise buildings serving as firepower fulcrums, like the corners of a bastion in the classical period, can provide almost all-round firepower coverage to adjacent streets.

The entire line of defense almost covers the south side of Dawn City, the north side of Qingquan City, and the entire area where survivors are active. If the slime mold fruiting bodies want to bypass this line of defense, they must start from the east or west line. Go around the city.

  However, since the information exchange rate of slime molds is linked to the spore concentration, the activity of fruiting bodies of slime molds in a certain area will also be affected by the spore concentration.

It's as if a server can only accommodate up to 100 players, and the information processing efficiency and channel width are only so large. If the administrator forcibly modifies the server protocol and removes the limit on the number of online users, the server with a capacity of only 100 people will flood into 10,000 people , the final result must be that everyone is stuck on the slide.

  The same is true for the mutant slime molds that rely on "node organisms" to carry out activities. The short board in the DNA prevents them from using

  The will of the brood expands to the area where the spore cloud is thin, and it can only concentrate its strength to break through the defense line of civilization in the form of waves.

  Therefore, there must be a small number of fruiting bodies that detour, and most of the fruiting bodies will be concentrated in the frontal position. This is also one of the conclusions drawn by the Union Institute of Biology through rigorous scientific research.

  The alliance does not need to follow the method of the post-war reconstruction committee to enclose the entire urban area with a huge wall.

   Instead, it is sufficient to build a line of defense that "extends from areas with higher concentration of spore clouds to areas with lower concentrations".

  “.The positions we built in the last wave are still there. This time we have reinforced the original foundation and improved the defense mode!”

"According to the suggestion of the staff department, we divided the defense line into twenty sections and allocated them to twenty thousand-man teams. The 334' pattern spreads out to ensure that the firepower can cover every inch of land in front of the position!"

The more detailed improvement plan, of course, is not just that simple. The firepower configuration, logistics transportation, and support methods of each position are more detailed, but these cannot be explained clearly in a while, and the wrench will not go into detail. list.

  In the last wave, the alliance lacked experience in large-scale combat, but this time is different.

  After the baptism of the Battle of Luoxia Province, the officers and soldiers of the alliance at all levels have quite rich experience in various battlefield modes such as mobile warfare and positional warfare.

  Looking at the wrench introduced with a red face, Chu Guang nodded approvingly and gave a positive evaluation.

   "Good job

good. "

  Wrench smiled honestly, and the red light printed on that old face shone even brighter.

   Most of the first batch of officers of the Alliance are like him, wastelanders rescued from the looters in Vault 404. …

  He doesn't have a high or great ideological realm, and he doesn't like to think about that stuff.

  For him with a simple mind, the manager's affirmation is the supreme glory.

  Looking at the red-faced wrench Chu Guang paused for a moment, then continued.

   "But there is one thing I have to tell you." Wrench said immediately after hearing the words.

   "Please order!"

   "It's not an order, it's about all the arrangements for the future.

  Chu Guang smiled and said in a chatty tone.

"The size of our army is getting bigger and bigger, and the original command system has become a bit bloated. So I plan to wait until the end of the wave to re-divide the troop organization, and change the original division of thousand-man teams and ten-thousand-man teams to that of the Federation of People's Era. prepared by."

  There has been a lot of discussion on the forum about the establishment of the alliance army. He had previously synthesized the opinions of some professionals and discussed it with Vanus.

The legion uses the formation of ten thousand people and thousand people to move forward. It is because they have cloned cannon fodder for three years, and the Weilante officers themselves are military aristocrats with fiefdoms. The promotion of the whole society The passages are all based on military merit, and there is no need to set additional military ranks, so this simple and crude organization is easy for them to manage.

  Although the other survivor settlements on the wasteland did not have three-year quick clones, but because human life is worthless and there is no shortage of cannon fodder, these settlements also copied it.

   In fact, there is nothing wrong with this method of copying.

  The munitions produced by the legion are very popular in the entire wasteland, and as the most powerful survivor force, it is normal for other survivor forces with poor armed forces to learn from them.

   Not to mention the predators, who follow the primitive law, they worship the violence of the legion. Therefore, in the predator tribe, the tens and centurions are not only titles that symbolize power, but also a symbol of honor and bravery.

  Under the dual choices of most survivor settlements and predator tribes, the formation of Thousands and Hundreds has become the mainstream in the wasteland.

  However, the mainstream does not mean the only one. For example, the establishment of an enterprise is completely opposite to that of a legion.

  Most of the private armed companies in Ideal City perform tasks in units of squads, which are more extreme than the battalion-level tactical groups in reality, and have been reduced to the level of "company-level tactical groups".

  The troops directly under the enterprise organization are composed of commandos composed of hundreds of people.

  However, Ideal City does not expand externally, and the direct troops just sweep up the mutants around. The troubles are basically settled with money, so there is nothing wrong with adopting this short and sharp organization.

  Whether it is a company or a legion, the military concepts adopted do not fully meet the needs of the alliance.

  Chu Guang intends to make a compromise on the basis of the two.

   That is, to reorganize the existing NPC corps with the sequential organization of army, division, brigade, regiment, battalion, company, and platoon and the "three-three system" organization principle.

  The newly reorganized Alliance First and Second Corps will be called the Alliance First and Second Army, with 10 to 20 standard brigades of 2,000 people under its jurisdiction.

  This kind of organization is not only more concise and clear, but also more convenient to confer military ranks.

   As for the players, they still follow the original "corps" organization rules. …

   So far, the combat efficiency of each corps is quite good. There is no need for large-scale reforms. At most, some fine-tuning of battlefield positioning is required.

  These corps are actually equivalent to the alliance's "battalion-level tactical group" and are responsible for performing special operations missions with a higher risk factor and more exciting.

  For players with strong individual combat capabilities, it is not practical to require them to fight in full accordance with the standards of the regular army.

  According to Chu Guang’s own experience, players can accept being cut leeks, and even get pleasure from being cut, but they cannot accept

  Educated by the operator how to play the game.

  So he never taught players what to do, only set rules to tell them what not to do, and what punishment they would have if they did.

  Taking this opportunity, Chu Guang briefly talked about his plan for the four armies of the alliance in the future.

  Although two of them were still missing, Wrench still listened carefully and didn't think he was joking at all.

  After listening, he immediately gave a military salute without saying a word, and said loyally.

   "The First Corps of the Alliance resolutely obeys your instructions! Your will is the will of our army."

   Seeing the wrench expressing his loyalty seriously, Chu Guang said with a smile.

"Don't be so serious, the reorganization work is after this wave, you just have to know it in your heart, and there is no need to inform you for the time being. The reason why I told you in advance is that I hope you will try to explore in the direction I said in the next battle. I will then have a meeting at the staff headquarters, where officers at all levels will also be consulted."

  As soon as his voice fell, a long siren came from the south direction.

  The two looked over there at the same time.

  I saw the gray-green thick fog that was originally as quiet as a lake, suddenly rolling along the street towards their defense line like a flash flood

   came over.

It's getting foggy!

   is the wave!

  Looking at the menacing gray fog, Chu Guang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.

  The wave came earlier than expected by the Institute of Biology.

   But it's normal.

  How can there be a 100% accurate weather forecast.

   Seeing the rolling fog, the hole of the wrench shrank slightly, and quickly looked to Chu Guang aside.

   "My lord, please step back."

  The intuition honed on the battlefield told him that the fog might not be that simple.

  However, Chu Guang did not move, but raised his chin towards the defense line, and said concisely.

   "Don't care about my safety, what you should care about is everyone behind this line of defense.

   "Now do what you should do, I will be here to witness your bravery!
