This Game is Too Real

  Chapter 678 The ghost under the deep sea

  The moment they heard these words, the eyes of the players surrounding them lit up.

   Good guy!

  This is a trigger task!

   "I'll just wait for your words, brother," Lao Bai smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Tell me, what's the matter with you?"

   "Those people... have gone crazy... can't communicate at all... It must be the mind interference device! Yes... and those blue-skinned monsters!"

  The man spoke incoherently, as if he had a lot of information, but the players around him were dumbfounded, and even Lao Bai couldn't help but wonder if his human connection language had regressed.

   "Don't be in a hurry... speak slowly, what's going on?"

  Huang Guangwei swallowed his saliva and looked longingly at the barbecue on the fire.

   "Can... give me something to eat? I haven't eaten in... three days."

   "Let him eat first." Seeing this pitiful look, Lao Bai didn't have the heart to continue asking, and looked at Brother Killer beside him, "Get him some food."

   People who are extremely hungry cannot eat meat. Decomposing protein and fat needs to consume energy first, but this guy has already eaten a piece of steamed bun, so he should be fine.

"okay."

  The murderous dagger nodded, went to the folding table in front of the bar, brought over the unfinished French fries and fried fish, and cut a piece of freshly grilled meat for him.

  Seeing that the food was served, the man was not picky. He grabbed a handful of French fries and stuffed them into his mouth.

   "Is this NPC's sense of taste broken?"

   Does he know if the French fries are delicious?

After wolfing down for a while, the man hiccupped, leaned against the palm tree with his stomach stretched out to pant, and half-squinted his eyes as if he was full of wine and food, and ended up beating up in front of everyone. snore.

   All the players around were dumbfounded.

   They waited for a long time, just waiting for this guy to speak, but this guy fell asleep after eating and stuffing himself? !

   This is not bad!

   Several people picked up the branches on the ground and poked him twice.

"Depend on!"

   "Play us!"

   "You asked us to help you, but talk!"

  Hearing a loud noise around him, Huang Guangwei, who had been poked indiscriminately, woke up suddenly. Realizing that he had dozed off in public, he was also embarrassed for a while, and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

   "Hug, I'm sorry...I feel sleepy when I'm full, I almost forgot."

  Old Bai: "..."

  Murder Dagger: "..."

  Midnight kill chicken: "..."

  Can you be any more unreliable? !

  At this time, Fang Chang finally rushed over, and saw the man lying under the palm tree at a glance, and then looked at the submersible on the coast.

  Not in a hurry to ask that person for questioning, he first called a few strength players he knew, patted their shoulders, and pointed in the direction of the coastline.

   "Go and drag that thing back and build a shed to hide it."

  The player looked at him strangely and asked.

   "Towed ashore?"

"Um."

  Fang Chang nodded, then glanced at a further direction on the sea, and then walked towards the man leaning under the palm tree.

   "Are you from Vault 70?"

   "Yes... yes." Looking at the man squatting in front of him, Huang Guangwei nodded nervously.

   Putting his hands on his shoulders, Fang Chang stared at his eyes and continued.

   "Take a deep breath, take it easy...tell us, what happened to you just now?"

  Listening to the words of the man in front of him, Huang Guangwei took a deep breath, calmed down his nervous emotions and spoke slowly.

   "A bunch of blue-skinned guys, they're... humanoid, with gills on their jaws. They've been chasing me, shooting me with harpoons and torpedoes... and all that weird stuff."

   "The power system of my submersible was damaged by them, and I could only drift around with the ocean current, resigned to fate...and then drifted here."

   "It seems that you are lucky," Lao Bai, who was squatting next to him, joked, "It just happened to float to our place."

  Huang Guangwei smiled weakly, and said "Thank you" in a low voice.

"But having said that...the blue-skinned guy? With gills? What the **** is that?" Midnight Slayer looked at the man in a daze, and was taken aback by the monster he was talking about that fired harpoon bombs and torpedoes up.

  At this time, Fang Chang, who was sitting at the side, gradually became serious.

   "If I'm not wrong, it's probably a mutant..."

  Hearing his words, the players squatting around were startled, with surprised expressions on their faces.

   "Fuck?!"

"Mutant?!"

   "Aren't those **** green?"

   "When did they learn to swim?!"

  Looking at the surprised faces of the players whispering to each other, Fang Chang shook his head and continued with a serious expression.

"Mutants refer to the humanoid life forms formed by improving the original 23 pairs of chromosomes of the human body through the incomplete research results of the 'Gestalt Life Body' project. They are not limited to green skin and powerful bodies. There is a gray-black variant."

   Paused, he continued.

"There are many survivor settlements located by the sea in the province of Yunjian. Do you still remember the centralized information on the official website? The commandos of the enterprise mainly target those amphibious mutants who move along the coastline... They are different from ordinary mutants. Unlike humans, the skin is blue, and a few have scales and fins attached."

  Hearing this, Voldemort gasped, and muttered.

   "Good guy... How dare the Torch Church hook up with those guys?!"

  The Piltover paratrooper who had been squatting beside him and had been silent all this time suddenly spoke.

   "Is there a possibility that those blue-skinned mutants were created by the Church of the Torch?"

  Old Bai shook his head and said.

   "This possibility is unlikely. The Church of the Torch has only emerged in the past twenty years. Those blue-skinned mutants seem to have existed for a while."

"I am also inclined to this view," Fang Chang nodded and continued, "After all, there is an example of Jinhe City there, and the Torch Church and mutants have natural overlapping interests. I guess there may be another agreement between the two parties. What kind of cooperation agreement, for example... the church regularly provides those mutants with a batch of slaves for reproduction."

  Although his expression was as written and euphemistic as possible, everyone couldn't help clenching their fists when they thought of the pasture they saw in the shopping mall in Jinhe City.

   "These bastards..." Midnight Shaji muttered in a low voice, and involuntarily clenched his fist under the barrel, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent.

  The Piltover paratroopers squatting aside also whispered.

   "Is there any use in distinguishing those things? Anyway, those beasts are our enemies, and we have no intention of negotiating with them."

   Fang Chang continued calmly.

"The relationship lies in whether they will attack us immediately... It seems that the church and the aquatic mutant tribes in the nearby sea area should have a cooperative relationship. They haven't realized the situation on our side, or they haven't realized our situation yet. Seriously, that way we'll have some time to prepare."

  Old Bai nodded solemnly, and said in a deep voice.

   "It seems that what we need to prepare is not only the fishing net made of devil silk, but also the beachhead on the shore."

  Fang Chang nodded.

"Not just beachheads, underwater weapons are a must...Our assault rifles and bolters are only useful on land, and if we can't attack underwater targets, they can maneuver along the coastline and shoot from anywhere attacking us from the same direction, which will be trickier than aquatic xenomorphs."

  Old Bai looked at him seriously and said.

   "I'll ask the mosquitoes when I'm offline to see if I can find a way to make something useful."

  After a brief exchange in Mandarin, Fang Chang looked back at the man who was watching their exchange with blank eyes, and continued.

   "Why are those mutants chasing you?"

   "I..." Huang Guangwei showed a hesitant expression on his face, as if he was struggling to speak out.

   Fang Chang stared into his eyes and continued.

   "If you don't say it, we can't help you."

   "...well, I say."

   It seemed that he realized that he had no better way than to confess. Huang Guangwei struggled for a moment, and finally opened his mouth, telling the whole story of why he was here...

   "You should know, because of some things, we had some conflicts with those people on the island..."

  Fang Chang nodded.

"I heard that the survivors in the southern seas hope to introduce the Nago strain improved by the Church of the Torch into the southern seas, so as to solve the flooding and dangerous aquatic alien species in this sea area... This is the version I heard, is it true? ?”

   Huang Guangwei swallowed and continued.

   "It's basically like this... It's not complete. First of all, we clearly told the survivors that the Naguo strain modified by the Church of the Torch is extremely risky, and it is an unfinished dangerous technology..."

"However, they are too confident and have completely lost their awe of nature. Speaking of which, it is also our fault that we have used the technology of the pre-war era to allow them to live so smoothly in the past century that they think they are The Chosen One feels that as long as he only selectively uses the good part like using a mind interference device, he will not be affected by the bad part at all."

  Fang Chang stared at him thoughtfully and asked.

"How to say?"

Huang Guangwei: "How should I put it... Needless to say, haven't you already seen it? Ever since the group of magic sticks came, the Haiya Province has become like this. When the Iron Tower Organization was still there, everything used to be there. It's all done well, although there are some predators and some aliens, but at least they don't become inhuman or ghost like they are now."

  Old Bai couldn't help asking.

   "Can't they see?"

  Huang Guangwei shook his head.

"Can't see it? No, of course they can see it, and they don't even need to look at it. How many years have they not done business with the port of Haiya Province? But they don't care about the risks we mentioned. Not only do they have risks for themselves Absolute self-confidence, but also over-confidence in us... Guess how those people answered us when we told them that those lunatics in the north were seeking their own death and dragging others to die together?"

  Old Bai: "How to answer?"

"They said, how do we know if we don't try it? What if we can perfect the imperfect technology? This will not only change the status quo in the southern sea area, but maybe it can also save those who have lost their self-awareness in Haiya province. Fools, even change the province of Baiyue... They are no longer rushing to the doctor for a sudden illness, they are simply a group of arrogant fools."

   When he said this, Huang Guangwei sneered, raised his arm and wiped the sea water on his face.

   "They said it was so easy... Have we tried it? I have worked with Vault 117 for decades, until they played themselves off. May I know if the technical route they proposed has any future?"

"Besides, this is no longer a technical issue. The ultimate goal of those lunatics is to ascend human beings into a brand-new species they conceived - 'Heavenly Man', and then turn the earth into a paradise where celestial beings live. You understand me What do you mean? Naguo, which was designed for this absurd idea, was not aimed at solving any specific existing problems in the wasteland from the very beginning."

   Lao Bai frowned and asked.

   "Don't the Federation of the Southern Islands know? Such an obvious thing, why do they stand on the side of the Torch Church?"

  Huang Guangwei shook his head.

"Didn't I say that they know everything, but they are overconfident. It is undeniable that they have achieved some achievements, such as using only a dozen square kilometers of land when most wastelanders are hungry. It has fed hundreds of thousands of survivors. For example, when Borneo Province and Luoxia Province were still practicing feudal kingship, they established a relatively civilized system."

"In time, they might really be able to build a utopia on the sea that is not inferior to an ideal city, using the method they have explored that is most suitable for them... However, the fatal problem is also here. As for most people on those islands, success is almost a given."

"There is no doubt that the Church of the Torch is a jackal. They also know that those guys have no good intentions, but they think it's nothing. They can tame those restless Nago mycelia like taming mutant sea sharks, wrapping them in arsenic. Eat the sugar coating, and throw away the arsenic intact... just like they used the mind interference device provided by the Church of the Torch to turn it into a tool to expel alien species."

"The president of the Federation of the Southern Islands has negotiated with us for this purpose. He hopes that the residents of Vault 70 and the thousands of experts trained by us in Coral City can work together to open the research facilities in Coral City to facilitate the investigation of the Church of the Torch. The mother nest of the Tianting space station, and at the same time cooperate with the apostles of the torch—that is, the researchers, to complete the improvement of Naguo.”

"Of course we can't agree. It's not the first time that group of lunatics have come to us. What's more, we knew the virtues of those guys twenty years ago. If we open the seabed research facilities to them, they will be able to corrode them in minutes." A group of our people were used by them, and then they turned it into their lair... just like what they did in Haiya province."

   After listening to his words, the players squatting around looked at him dumbly.

  One of them couldn't help asking.

   "And then you guys started fighting?"

  Hearing this sentence, Huang Guangwei's expression became a little embarrassed, and he scratched his cheek with stubble with his index finger.

   "There was no fight at first... After all, the fleet is mainly in the hands of those settlements, and those settlements were built by us, why should we attack our own people?"

  Fang Chang nodded thoughtfully.

"really."

  Thinking in another way, Vault 404 suddenly went to war with Dawn City, this kind of thing just sounds outrageous enough.

  That is the settlement they piled up with countless blood and sweat. They would rather die for it a few more times than say they want to do any damage or anything.

  The biggest difference between this game and other games is probably that every gathering place where players move, every brick and tile is built by the players themselves.

Not to mention being reluctant to destroy, in order to prevent those new players from messing around, they will not only actively participate in legislation and regulations, but also spontaneously accept the "Pass the Torch" mentoring task, giving enough care to those new players, helping them They integrate into Union society.

   "Really?" Seeing the pensive expression of the man in front of him, Huang Guangwei paused and continued, "We originally planned to teach them a lesson, so we issued a notice for the maintenance of the power facilities, and then turned off the ocean current generator set..."

  At this time, Lao Bai who was beside him suddenly spoke.

   "I heard... you cut off the power supply and oxygen supply system of Coral City, and nearly killed the 30,000 survivors in the seabed—"

   "It's nonsense! How could we do that kind of thing! And many residents of Coral City are our students, colleagues, and even family members!"

   Huang Guangwei's eyes widened, as if he had been poked into a sore spot, and he retorted fiercely.

"It's them! The so-called federal authorities! They took advantage of the withdrawal of our experts from the ocean current power station and brutally blew it up! Then they cut off the power supply system of Coral City in retaliation! We sent rescue submarines, but they sent We dropped mines, and in the end we only managed to save a few hundred people!"

   Looking at the man with clenched fists, Lao Bai calmed down his emotions with words.

   "Don't get excited, the residents of Coral City are all fine. I heard that the federal authorities have transferred them to various islands."

  Huang Guangwei looked at him in astonishment, and then slowly recovered his breathing.

   "Really? It seems that they are still a little bit human... You have been in contact with them?"

  Old Bai nodded.

   "Yes, just because I have been in contact, I feel that there may be some misunderstandings between you...Why don't you sit down and talk?"

  Huang Guangwei pouted.

"There is nothing to talk about. The federal authorities hope that Vault 70 can be used as a scientific research institution subject to the leadership of the federal government. I actually have no objections. We didn't want any special status at first, but we can't agree at this juncture. If we let go, they'll immediately hand over what we've gained over a century to those lunatics up north."

   Voldemort looked at him incomprehensibly and asked.

   "Didn't you sneak out of that shelter to talk to them?"

  Huang Guangwei denied it as a matter of course.

   "Of course not, I was planning to go to the Great Rift Valley."

   "Great Rift Valley?" Lao Bai stared at him blankly, "What are you doing there?"

"Of course we went to our manager! That **** named Sun Yuechi! Without that guy, we couldn't even perform the full function of the shelter, and we were completely unilaterally suppressed by those idiots from the Federation. If he If we were here, things would not be like this, at least we can use the equipment in the security inventory!"

   Speaking of this, Huang Guangwei gritted his teeth in hatred and clenched his fists.

  It's almost as if he wants to punch the guy... if the guy is right in front of him.

   Several players looked at each other, but they were dumbfounded by what he said.

   It was the first time they had heard of the strange name Sun Yuechi, but the point was not this, but—

   "Why are your administrators... in the Rift Valley?"

"I also want to know what he thinks," Huang Guangwei said cursingly, "at this juncture, that guy is still talking in his sleep... saying that there is the last flame left by the post-war reconstruction committee, We should have united under its banner in the first place, and it shouldn’t be too late now...they will take care of it. If those guys were really so enthusiastic, Haiya Province shouldn’t be in such a ghostly state!”

  Fang Chang stroked his chin and asked after thinking for a moment.

   "It's more than 3,000 kilometers from here to the Great Rift Valley...and this is a straight-line distance, how are you going to get there?"

   Huang Guangwei continued.

"I originally planned to go ashore in the eastern part of Haiya Province. It is a deserted place. I should be able to avoid the eyes and ears of the Torch Church. As long as I go around to the Prancing Horse Province in the east of the River Valley Province, there should be a way to get there. Yeah... I bet that's the way that **** would have gone."

  Midnight Shaji looked at him suspiciously and asked.

   "Then why did you run here?"

"I don't want to either," Huang Guangwei said, looking at him dumbfounded. "I obviously avoided a few main waterways and planned to touch the eastern coast of Haiya Province quietly, but suddenly I was met by those blue-skinned guys. Chasing and chasing... I don't know what they are lurking there, but we ran into each other, and then I floated all the way here, and I was picked up by you."

   When he said this, he looked at Fang Chang, Lao Bai and several other people sincerely.

   "You are also residents of the refuge... Can you take me to your side? I seem to have heard about you. You are in the south of the River Valley Province?"

   As he spoke, he glanced at the airship in the sky, and continued earnestly.

   "Please, I have nowhere to go..."

  Old Bai looked at Fang Chang, and Yu Xin couldn't bear to say.

   "Why don't you take him back?"

  Fang Chang pondered for a moment, then replied in Mandarin.

   "Well, I'm wondering if it's possible to take the lead and have him sit down with the federal authorities of the Southern Islands."

  Hearing this sentence, Lao Bai was taken aback for a moment, and said dumbfoundedly.

   "Are you thinking too much... Let alone whether the forces we are deploying in this area have the ability to promote peace talks, how can you be sure that there is no Torch Church member in the federal authorities?"

   Fang Chang said with a sigh.

   "This is also where I hesitate the most."

  Currently, the two sides hold their own opinions, and both believe that the explosion of the ocean current power station is the fault of the other party.

  As for the specific situation, no one has direct evidence to prove it.

  Of course, he is more inclined to think that the Church of the Torch may have obstructed it, and then planted the blame on Vault 70, so as to provoke a war between the Federation of the Southern Islands and the Vault.

  However, there is another possibility. The explosion of the ocean current power station itself is the result expected by the Federation of the Southern Islands.

  Energy is the rope held by Vault 70, and it is also an invisible deterrent.

   Now this deterrent has been used up.

  It is like a nuclear weapon thrown from the launch pad, and it has lost the meaning of deterrence.

  The survivors of the islands in the southern waters discovered that they did not lose their lives because of the loss of the ocean current power station. They can import coal mines from Yinyue Bay to restart the obsolete thermal generators, and they can also enable solar and wind energy to be used with storage power stations.

   There are still many solutions.

  Although the cost of energy has risen, the islands are highly united under the rule of the Federation of the Southern Islands.

   In contrast, the price they paid for this does not seem to be as expensive as imagined.

  Fang Chang pondered for a long time, then said with a sigh.

   "Let's leave it to the managers to decide."

  Old Bai nodded.

   "I think so too...Professional work should be left to professional people."

  Fang Chang looked at Huang Guangwei and continued.

   "We can take you to our place, and it will take about two days to reach Qingquan City."

  Hearing this promise, Huang Guangwei said with a relieved expression on his face, weeping with joy.

   "Thank you...thank you so much!"

  Fang Chang smiled and said.

   "You're welcome, but there is one thing we have to ask you to help."

  Huang Guangwei smiled happily and nodded.

   "Just mention it! As long as I can help, I will do my best!"

  Fang Chang continued.

   "About the fact that you were attacked by mutants in the eastern coastal area of ​​Haiya Province, I hope you can record a video to explain in detail, and then provide us with the coordinates of your attack."

  After hearing this simple request, Huang Guangwei agreed without hesitation.

   "No problem! I will cooperate at any time. If you need it, I can record that video right now! As for the coordinates, they are on my submersible, so you can use them!"

   "Let's talk about the video in a while. I will also report the situation to our manager. You go to our place to change your clothes first, so as not to catch a cold."

   Fang Chang smiled friendly, then looked at the submersible that had been towed ashore not far away, and continued.

   "And your submersible, can you lend us a use? We want to try to repair its power system."

  Huang Guangwei waved his hand indifferently, and said generously.

   "Take it and use it. As long as you can take me to Qingquan City, I can give it to you."

   Originally, he didn't intend to keep that thing forever. If he successfully landed in Haiya Province, he might just throw it on the shore.

   Now that someone has promised to take him to the River Valley Province, he naturally won't need that thing.

  Since these people are interested, let's take it!

   Seeing this guy waving his hands generously, Fang Chang also had a happy smile on his face.

   "Then we will not be polite!"
