This Game is Too Real

  Chapter 659 This is destined to be a fruitless wait

   A vast sea.

  The two warships rose and fell with the waves one after the other, and the two green-bottomed double-knife flags hanging on the bridge fluttered vigorously in the wind.

  However, the sailors on the ship were not complacent at the moment, and they were hastily lowering the boat to rescue the soldiers who fell into the water.

   How high-spirited I was when chasing people before, how embarrassed I am now.

  Looking at those subordinates who looked like dogs in the water, Captain Achim standing on the side of the ship had a livid face, his fists tightly gripping the railing, and his sharp eyes were full of haze.

   That cargo ship took at least one thousand Moon Clan members away, and also cost Jin Gallon Port a full one million dinars!

  And this is not just a matter of money, it is more related to the prestige of Governor Nihak and even the face of the Xilan Empire.

  If those people are allowed to land successfully in Silver Moon Bay, God knows what outrageous rumors will come out of their mouths.

  Although the survivors in Borneo Province are clear, people outside don’t know them, and they might think they are robbing.

  He had to say it wasn't a robbery!

   It is for the prosperity of the Xilan Empire and the peace of the next generation!

   Captain Achim looked at the adjutant at the side, and said through gritted teeth.

   "These guys...what the **** are they doing?!"

"Their ship was produced by the shipyard in Yinyue Bay..." Speaking of this, the adjutant added in an affirmative tone, "I'm sure it's there. There is only one shipyard there. It can't be wrong, and so is our ship. Bought it there."

   "Nonsense! I don't need you to tell me!" Achim scolded him, which made the adjutant tremble and dare not speak.

  This officer not only ranks above him, but also has noble Tiger and Japanese blood, just like the current Marshal!

  This dignity made him dare not even look directly into the eyes of this lord, for fear of causing his displeasure.

   At this time, a clever junior officer stepped forward, bowed his head and said.

   "My lord, I may know something about them."

   Captain Achim said impatiently.

"explain."

  The officer said immediately after hearing the words.

   "I saw the sign of the white bear when I was traveling in the Hump Kingdom, combined with the bear they brought with them... Those people should be members of the White Bear Knights!"

  Captain Achim froze for a moment.

"what is that."

  The officer continued.

"It's a bank opened in the Petra fortress. I heard that the owner of that bank is a girl. During the Luoxia Provincial War, she donated money to help some nobles who were persecuted by the Weilante people. Therefore, she and the royal family of the desert countries The nobles had a good relationship, and the business was taken care of. Later, the enterprises and the legion ceased fire, and the merchants of the alliance entered Luoxia Province, and the knights made a fortune by exchanging money, and then simply started the business of lending and depositing."

  Most of these are rumors he heard.

   But one thing is certain, the business of the White Bear Knights is indeed very famous in the Hump Kingdom, especially in the Petra Fortress.

   Achim touched his chin, his eyes narrowed slightly.

   "Is that guy rich?"

  The officer froze for a moment, then nodded quickly.

"I am very sure of that!"

   Achim's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart, and he looked at the adjutant and ordered.

   "Give me the order to go down! Everyone go back to the boat immediately, we will set off in five minutes! Go to the waters near Yinyue Bay!"

   With the courage of the Hump Kingdom, they would not dare to disembark that cargo ship at the pier in front of the warships of the Xilan Empire.

  If the freighter can be seized, not only can the thousand slaves be captured, but maybe a ransom can be demanded from the White Bear Knights.

  The adjutant who was standing at the side panicked when he heard the words, and hurried forward to say.

   "Mr. Captain, our rescue is only halfway through, and there are still a few brothers who fell into the water that have not been found—"

   Before he finished speaking, Captain Achim waved his hand impatiently and interrupted him.

   "Those guys are a disgrace to the empire. They can't even grab a cargo ship. What's the use of finding him?"

   After finishing speaking, he stared at the adjutant who dared not take a breath, and said in a threatening tone.

   "The governor asked us to take back the more than a thousand slaves and the few outsiders who made trouble no matter what. He said that he wanted me to do whatever it takes."

   "If you don't want to go down and feed the fish, you'd better do what I tell you."

  The adjutant, sweating profusely, nodded his head, quickly turned around and ran to the side of the ship, yelling at his subordinates to board the ship immediately.

  As for those who fell into the water that have not yet been found, they can only be regarded as dead.

  The rescue work was ended cleanly and decisively. Captain Achim immediately called for the helmsman and navigator, looked at the chart and gave them a death order.

   "I don't care what method you use, we must reach the waters near Silver Moon Bay ahead of those stowaways, and we must not let them go ashore."

  Several crew members looked at each other, not daring to say a word, and nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

   "As ordered."

   "Yes! Your Excellency!"

  …

  Although in the Hump Kingdom, especially the Petra Fortress, the White Bear Knights have almost become the embodiment of justice.

  However, their business is not going well in the province of Borneo, which is separated by a mountain, especially recently it has even become a symbol of evil.

   At the end of the day, some restless guy is too nosy.

  The slave trade is not uncommon in the wasteland, but it is extremely rare to put free people in shackles on a large scale for inexplicable reasons.

  Because even the old babies who are as stupid as Boulder City know a little bit, there are contracts in this world that are far more efficient than slave contracts. A heavily indebted worker can create ten times as much value as a slave and can accept a lower standard of living than a slave.

  However, this incredible thing still happened on the land of Borneo Province, and it happened right in front of the players of the alliance.

  A group of people were inexplicably labeled as traitors, and then became the targets of legal robbery and even massacres by others.

  At first, Sisi didn't want to care about it, and he covered Awei's eyes and repeatedly told her not to mess around in other people's territory.

  However, when she found out that the group of beasts didn't even intend to let children under the age of twelve go, she couldn't help herself and went ahead.

Later, they bombarded King Gallon Port with the 155 artillery and six 100mm short-barreled field guns on the Meat, and sank two warships anchored in the port for renovation at close range, and then sold the original plan to the local arms dealer's value Arms worth one million silver coins were given to thousands of Moon Clan people who were imprisoned in the port.

   Perhaps inspired by the courage and generosity of this group of outsiders, or perhaps because they found that the imperial army was not as powerful as they imagined, the Yue people who were eager to kill were finally determined to take up arms to resist and liberate other oppressed people.

They entrusted the women and children to the hero who was wearing a red turban to fight, while the men and the old man took the initiative to stay, and with the supplies they snatched from the imperial port, they fled to the central part of the Borneo province with a few Lunar veterans. forest.

  And this is also the direct reason why the governor of Jin Gallon Port furiously ordered the pursuit of the crew of the Meat and Meat.

  Although this transaction not only did not make any money, but even lost a lot of money, no one felt regretful.

  There are many opportunities to make a fortune in one's life, but the chance to stand up like a hero may only be once or twice.

  When he tied the red hood around his head, Tails thought he was so cool.

   As for the lost game currency, it doesn't matter at all!

  …

  The next day.

  The rising sun shines on the endless sea, and layers of golden light appear on the tumbling waves.

  Blowing the sea breeze, Sesame Paste stretched comfortably, squinted his eyes comfortably, and suddenly had a whim, wondering what a planet five light-years away would look like.

   Is there such a vast ocean?

   "Ah, camera camera..."

  Suddenly it occurred to her that it would be a pity not to record this beautiful scene, and she hurriedly searched in the satchel she carried with her.

  Although they only experienced an exciting naval battle last night, for most of the old players of "Wasteland OL", they have already gotten used to the rhythm of the game.

   As long as you don't die, it's not a big problem.

  As for accidentally dying—

   Well, it’s actually not a big problem.

  The business of the White Bear Knights in the Hump Kingdom is not only financial, but also information transmission services, as well as save points open to players.

  As long as 2000 silver coins are spent, merchants in Dawn City or players who are keen on running merchants can drop by the dormant pod for saving files.

  She saved the file before the latest sea trip, so she wasn't that nervous.

  However, although it is common for players to survive after a catastrophe, the feeling of NPCs with only one life is completely different.

  Looking at the cat-eared girl entertaining herself and taking pictures on the deck, the mercenaries and sailors from the Hump Kingdom were filled with admiration.

   You are worthy of being the messenger of Goddess Silver Moon!

  Perhaps it is the blessing of that **** that this broken ship has been able to sail until now without sinking...

   Just as a group of mercenaries and sailors were fascinated by the "Messenger of the Silver Moon Goddess", Sisi suddenly ran onto the deck.

"Sesame paste!"

"Um?"

   Seeing Sisi who was overjoyed and walking quickly, Sesame Paste, who was holding the camera, blinked.

   "Do you want me to help you take two photos?"

   "Forget about the photos, big news! Come with me!" Sisi grabbed her arm excitedly and led her towards the cabin.

  When Sesame Paste came back to his senses, Sisi had pulled her into the cabin, and the yawning meat and tail were also here.

  Seeing that everyone was there, Sesame Paste asked curiously after pulling away the chair and sitting down.

   "What is so formal?"

   Sisi took a deep breath, glanced around at his companions, and said excitedly.

   "When I went offline last night, I received a planned email in the background of my account!"

   Never seen Sisi so restless, Tail swallowed.

   "Mail, what did you write?"

"New map test invitation!" Sisi trembled excitedly, "I got the 14-day experience activation code for the administrator authority of No. 70 shelter! That shelter is in the southern sea not far from us, and it is seabed!"

  The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then they almost unanimously burst out in unbelievable exclamation.

   "Activation code?!"

   "A refuge under the sea?!"

   "giao!"

  Suddenly thought of something, Tail put his hands on the table and stood up with a bang.

   "Wait, it's so strange, why is Sisi receiving the activation code!"

  Sesame paste thought for a moment.

   "Well, maybe... Ah Guang thinks Sisi might be more reliable?"

  Tail: "Damn it, isn't the tail not reliable enough!"

  Sesame paste: "Huh? No, the tail is of course very reliable."

  Roushan Damo put his palms together, rubbed them up and down, and prayed devoutly.

   "It seems that accumulating good deeds is still beneficial, Amitabha."

   Tail who had calmed down suddenly dragged his chin with his index finger, and muttered with a serious face.

   "Understood, that's how it is... It seems that Sisi made a huge sacrifice when we didn't know it. Tail should treat her better these days."

  Rourou also stretched out his bear paw and touched Sisi's head.

   "It's not easy, Amitabha."

  Looking at the noisy cabin, Sisi, who was rubbing his head with flesh, said with a face full of tears and laughter.

"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand a single word...Okay, Aowei, don't care about trivial things like whoever gets the activation code. When we get to the shelter, everyone will have a share. Let's discuss it. For the next itinerary, should we continue to go to Ideal City as planned or—"

   "Is this still worth discussing?" Tail looked at Sisi in surprise, "Of course it's going straight to the new map! Are there other options?"

  Fatty also raised his paw excitedly.

   "That's right! I vote for Sanctuary!"

   "+1!"

  The cat ears on the top of the head swayed from side to side, and the sesame paste face with his hands resting on his cheeks showed a yearning expression.

"Is there a refuge on the bottom of the sea? I really want to see what it looks like... By the way, isn't there a survivor settlement nearby? Maybe they can take in the survivors on the ship, and they should be able to buy the supplies we need .”

   Seeing everyone who reached a consensus in an instant, Sisi froze for a moment.

   "Is that the decision?"

   "Why not?" Tail gave her a strange look, "Anyway, we don't have anywhere to go, do we?"

  This sentence makes sense.

  Sisi couldn't think of how to refute for a while.

  Sesame paste and Rourou looked at each other, and said with a smile

   "Then such a happy decision!"

  …

  Captain Achim would never have imagined that the so-called big fish in his eyes did not swim towards his palm at all, but headed eastward all the way to the southern waters.

   This is destined to be a fruitless wait.

  Watching the boats coming and going in front of Silver Moon Bay, Captain Achim gritted his teeth with hatred but had no choice but to vent his anger on those inferior clan crew members.

  The councilors and nobles of Silver Moon Bay looked at the two warships parked in front of their house and trembled.

  Although their coastal defense guns could sink the two warships in an instant, they couldn't hold back the huge Xilan Empire and they were only separated by a mountain.

  For them who lived in the corner of the desert, the empire known as a thousand races and gods with a population of over 100 million was a more direct threat than the legion.

  In particular, they also heard that the Xilan Dynasty, which recently ruled the Borneo province, was itself a puppet supported by the Willant people. The Ripper rifle and 100mm artillery installed by the Imperial Army are the most convincing evidence.

However, there is also a saying that the Legion is not very interested in the Borneo Province. It is just that the lords of some border lands are doing business with the so-called Xilan Dynasty, exchanging dinars for those exotic beauties and young and strong slaves. labor.

  In any case, the Xilan Empire is a giant to the Hump Kingdom, there is no doubt about it.

  The twelve city-states rarely reached a consensus on the same thing. Both the Protestants of the Silver Moon Sect and the conservatives who abide by ancient traditions agreed that they needed to go east to seek help from the Alliance.

   Captain Achim didn't know at this time that his reckless decision for a ransom and a group of slaves would bring a huge potential trouble to his Governor and His Majesty.

  If he had known that it would cause so much trouble, maybe he would restrain his greed.

   But that's all for later...

  Just when Captain Achim was incompetent and angry with the inferior clan sailors, the distant Dawn City was peaceful and peaceful.

  The three-day celebration has just ended, and people have returned to their posts one after another with unsatisfied feelings and longing for a better life in the future.

   A lot happened in these three days.

   First of all, the alliance established formal diplomatic relations with more than 50 survivor settlements with trading ties in the wasteland.

  This includes the old neighbor Garbage City who has always been afraid of the Alliance, Dam City in the Prancing Horse Province, and even the Free State in the north.

  Secondly, important progress has been made in the negotiation of cross-regional cooperation organizations, and the college has also shown an open attitude towards cooperation with enterprises on limited issues.

   And this is probably the first time in a century and a half.

  Regarding the name of this cross-regional cooperation organization, the enterprise and the academy mean to let the alliance decide, so that they can be more accountable to their own people.

  Chu Guang didn't know what to call it, so he simply posted a voting post on the forum, but he didn't expect to choose "Joint Country".

  Although he lamented how talented these guys are, Chu Guang finally gave up the name with the highest number of votes, and randomly made up a more appropriate "slime mold research community" and reported it.

  The college is quite satisfied with the name, and the company has no objection, so the name of this cross-regional cooperation organization has been determined.

  In addition, there was news from Mayor Teresa that the Weilante envoys had arrived in Pioneer City and applied for participation in a cross-regional cooperation organization.

  Although he had thought that this might happen, Chu Guang was still surprised by the quickness of the Willanters' movements.

  But Chu Guang didn't care, and allowed the envoy to take the airship flight to Dawn City to discuss the matter.

   The conflict between the alliance and the legion is an internal matter of human civilization, and the mutant slime mold is a common problem faced by human civilization.

  He can still figure out the priorities.

  As long as the alliance occupies a dominant position and can ensure Xiaoyu's control over each "sub-base", he doesn't mind cooperating with the other party on the issue of mutant slime mold.

   Even if the possibility of a future war between the two sides is not small.

  However, although Chu Guang didn't care, colleges and companies were wary of the arrival of the legion.

  Yang Kai said he wanted to seek the opinion of the chief technology officer, and Luo Yong also said he had to ask other members of the council.

  Chu Guang expressed his understanding of this, and said that if either the enterprise or the academy objected to the new member, the cohesion body would not accept the new member.

   And this will also serve as the standard for the development of new members of the cohesion body in the future.

  The behind-the-scenes work of the celebration has finally come to an end, and the next step is to meet with the legion envoy and finalize the specific details of the cooperation in the long negotiation.

   As the only person who has not rested in the past three days, Chu Guang finally has time to give himself a few days off...
