This Game is Too Real

  Chapter 740 Phased Victory

  Dawn slowly rose in the sky, and the snow on the peak of Blood Mountain was also coated with a layer of burning golden yellow.

  As the highest mountain in Shifeng Mountain, this place is about 3,000 meters above sea level. The mountain is rugged and dangerous, with jagged rocks, and there are only two or three trails that can pass through the mountainside.

  Suddenly, a gust of breeze blew by, and in the blink of an eye, two phantoms stood on that piece of snow.

  Looking carefully, I saw that the two did not leave a single footprint, and no one knew how they got there.

   "...I remember the Rock Ax Clan is your favorite work, and that guy named Oron."

   "I said this sentence the year before last, your database should be updated."

   "Oh? So what is your most proud work now?"

"Next."

  Looking at the mountains in the distance, the Beastmaster calmly said these words.

   Clan Rockaxe is still far from perfect.

   Including that Oron.

   But the meaning of his existence lies in this.

  In the competition with those decadent old forces, he will continue to improve his works until he finally breaks through the limits of the organism and completes the ascension in the physical sense.

  He will create a real "Beastmaster".

"It's an interesting way of saying that the best is always the next one," Human Sovereign glanced at the Beastmaster next to him, smiled faintly, and continued in a normal tone, "But I have to remind you, you've already lost three points." One of the positions."

   "It's three out of ten." The Beastmaster corrected the imprecise statement with a blank face.

  Human Sovereign shrugged slightly.

   "In any case, I need you to stay here for at least half a year, until Arzu successfully opens up the situation in the south."

   "Half a year," the corner of his mouth was slightly raised with an imperceptible coldness, the Beastmaster continued expressionlessly, "The mountain range under my feet is their end."

"Don't be too radical, my friend," the Emperor smiled faintly, "I hope that our plan can be carried out in an orderly manner, rather than based on an unfounded assumption. An unimagined result, for us Words are not necessarily surprises, but more likely risks, I hope you will keep in mind..."

  After leaving this sentence, the figure standing next to the Beastmaster slowly disappeared into the wind and snow.

  Looking at the two flags on the distant mountain for the last time, the Beastmaster frowned slightly, turned around and disappeared.

  …

  As the Stormtroopers planted their flag on the top of Broken Blade Mountain, the Battle of Broken Blade Mountain officially came to an end.

  The alliance rescued more than a thousand survivors from the caves on the mountain, seized thousands of tons of weapons and ammunition, and nearly ten thousand tons of food and other supplies.

  According to the findings of the frontline troops of the Stormtroopers, these mutants will grow some fungi crops in the fortifications as a food supplement.

   Not only that, these beasts will also use some simple production equipment to modify weapons and even smelt ore for production.

  These crafted weapons are usually crude, and those DIY modified weapons are usually not as good as before the modification.

   But even so, compared to the garbage gentleman who can't even use chopsticks well, these people's craftsmanship can already be called dexterous.

   Moreover, they were not frustrated by the inefficiency of modifying weapons, on the contrary, they enjoyed it, and some guys who were good at it even evolved in the group.

  The chromium-containing bullets fired by some large-caliber rifles with excessive charges can even penetrate 45mm hardened steel plates at a distance of 100m.

   This thing is no longer a gun, it has reached the category of a cannon. Even for a human awakened person, it is difficult to use it without an exoskeleton.

"They are evolving creativity, just like the mutants in the desert and the mutants we met in Jinhe City..." Fiddled with the big guns in his hand, the spring commander thought for a moment Tossed back the cart where the loot was stored.

   "Can this also be called creativity?" I said with the darkest disapproval.

   "Don't underestimate these guys. Creativity is the source of the birth of civilization. No matter what kind of civilization it is, as for knowledge, it is only one of the results of the birth of the former."

   While speaking, Commander Quanshui glanced around at the production equipment in the cave, and a hint of worry could not help but float between his brows.

  The trouble left by the Church of the Torch is probably not just a few coded genes and a few nago...

   But no matter how you say it, this war ended in the alliance's complete victory.

  Although there are still some remaining mutants active in the tunnels of the mountain, just like the situation on Black Cloud Mountain, it is only a matter of time before they are eliminated.

  Three of the ten natural hazards in the entire Shifeng Mountain are already in the hands of the coalition forces.

  Currently, the construction team of the Southern Construction Corps has headed towards Fushan, digging caves, building concrete roads and railways through the mountains.

   Opening the portal from Jinchuan Province to Haiya Province is just around the corner!

  The news of victory quickly spread from the front line to the rear, and spread throughout the Fushan military base. The Storm Corps of the alliance became famous in the first battle among the coalition forces!

  As for the legion, unfortunately they became clowns.

  Although their combat literacy is actually good, and their ferocious offensive has indeed caused huge casualties to the mutants, it is also true that they launched the attack without communicating with their friendly forces.

   It would be fine if they won, but the key point is that not only did they not win, but they were almost attacked by the mutants and took down the position of Heiyun Mountain.

  Even General Babita of the Xilan Empire doesn’t know what to say this time...

  …

  The Stormtroopers and the Enterprise 100th Mountain Division hand over the position on Broken Edge Mountain.

  The next mountain is the tallest and most dangerous one on the Ten Peaks Mountain. It used to be called Xuefeng, and the wastelanders called it Blood Peak.

   It is said that the Bloodhoof clan entrenched there is the largest and most mixed branch of mutants in the entire Ten Peaks Mountain.

  They will raise some strange "ugly things".

  Different from those "dwarf things", these human-like and non-human guys are extremely dangerous. Generally, survivors would rather take a long detour than pass by them.

  However, general merchants can detour, but it is impossible for the coalition forces to detour and put the supply line above the enemy's head.

  This position will be attacked by the Academy's Alpha Task Force.

  After seeing the "strength" of the legion and the company, friends in the north can't help but want to show off.

  At the same time, the Iron Heart had arrived at the edge of the Weifu military base, and stopped not far from the Loyalty.

   On the other side, the Weifu military base, the conference room of the combat command center was crowded with people.

  The officers of the enterprise entered the table early and sat at the conference table, and there were five or six people from one division, second only to Xi Lan, who took part in the battle with an army of 30,000 and lost 10,000 people—

   I heard that the lunch box distributed at noon was free of charge, and the latter even followed the commander in the name of supporting the scene.

The Academy's Alpha Task Force came with only one commander, and the Free State's "Hound Dog" special forces came with one officer and one pair, and the rest came from Lions, Honey Badgers, Humps, Golden Lizards, and Falcons. There are more than 20 people in the kingdom's command and other survivor forces.

The representatives of the   legion came last, and only General Leum came.

  Looking at General Lium who came late, Lin Shangwen didn't make a sound, but the two officers sitting next to him looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

  One of them tore off a piece of meeting paper, folded a paper airplane in his hand, and raised his eyebrows at the colleague next to him.

   "Look, I'll only demonstrate once."

   As he spoke, he dropped the plane lightly, and deliberately threw it under the table, but instead of reaching out to pick it up, he coughed exaggeratedly.

   "...The one just now doesn't count, let me try again."

   Representatives of other survivor forces didn't know about the phone call last night, and naturally they didn't understand his performance art.

  But the officers of the enterprise understood it, and both of them held back their laughter.

  Including Lin Shangwen's adjutant also couldn't help laughing, but Lin Shangwen himself coughed lightly, and reminded the guy who made the paper airplane what occasion it was here with his eyes.

  Lium's brows twitched violently, he didn't look over there with a gloomy face, and sat on the seat alone.

  The commander of the Alpha Task Force took a look at him, his emotionless pupil seemed to understand everything, but he didn't make any evaluation.

  The two commanders of the Free State exchanged glances and whispered a few words, as if they were weighing something.

   Perceiving the unfavorable aura on the conference table, General Babita from the Xilan Empire keenly sensed the opportunity to perform, and tried to curry favor with Lium with a shy smile.

  However, after several attempts, Lium ignored him, so he had no choice but to give up resentfully.

   Seeing that everyone was present, Vanus, who was sitting at the conference table, stacked the documents in his hands and stood up from his seat.

   "So, let's start the meeting—"

  Before his words fell, he was interrupted by a voice from the conference table.

"Wait a moment."

  Vanus looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that it was General Lium, without any unexpected expression on his face.

   "Is there a problem, Mr. Leum."

  Lium stared at Vanus for a long time, but he saw that the latter had no expression on his face, and just looked at him calmly.

  Seeing that Vanus was indifferent, Lium suddenly smiled, and his tense expression seemed to relax.

  However, it was only the expression that was slack, but his tone was not the slightest slack, and he asked word by word.

   "Where's Chu Guang?"

  Vanus looked at him and said.

   "Mr. Manager is listening to General Li Jinrong's report and inspecting the military base."

   Obviously not satisfied with this answer, Lium squinted his eyes and asked.

   "Why isn't he presiding over such an important meeting?"

  Vanus continued to speak meticulously.

   "It is because of the importance that he chose to give it to a professional like me."

   "Professional?" Lium laughed, with disapproval written on his face.

  He didn't think that the commander of a mere cannon fodder team could have any insight.

   But it seemed that he was too unstructured to talk about his status, so he just smiled and started to attack another matter.

   "What about him? As the supreme commander of the coalition forces, what does he do."

  Vanus said concisely.

"In the words of Mr. Manager, it is his job to let you sit here. If you feel that you are not qualified for this job, you can bring it up as soon as possible. We will communicate with your superiors and arrange for other people who are qualified for this job. candidates."

  Lium stared at him, but in the end he didn't say anything, and sat obediently at the conference table.

  Vanus nodded to him, didn't say much, just cleared his throat.

   "Well, the meeting now begins."

  …

  At the corner of the Weifu military base, at the entrance of the three-story concrete building, Chu Guang was inspecting the frontline battlefield research institute accompanied by Li Jinrong.

  The specimens sent from the front line are stored here.

  Including the specimens of the Stone Horn Clan, the Rock Ax Clan who was defeated by the Stormtroopers just now, and the huge guy who yelled "Olon" in his mouth.

   In order to send that guy from the front line is not easy, the enterprise dispatched a killer whale transport plane for this purpose.

  Currently, the research teams of the enterprise and the alliance are dissecting the specimens in an attempt to decipher the mystery.

  Give this place to He Ya, and Chu Guang took Li Jinrong and Lu Bei and his party to visit the largest canteen in the military base.

  While walking on the road, Xiao Qi said in a worried voice.

   "Is it really okay to hand over that meeting to Vanus?"

   It remembered that before coming here, Chu Guang mentioned to it once, the legion's views on Vanus and other Willanters who chose to stay in the alliance.

  Although Vanus's ability is good, and his performance in the alliance can be called loyal, but it is always worried that his presiding over the meeting may cause dissatisfaction from the legion.

  Hearing the concerns in Xiaoqi's voice, Chu Guang smiled lightly, and communicated with it in a very soft voice.

"Like Yin Fang, he is an expert in his respective field. He is best at strategic deployment and coordination among various military services. It is the best choice to entrust him. As for the legion, their opinions are important, but they are not enough The important thing is that we take into account the personal emotions of each of them. If you can’t even overcome this, it can only mean that Lium is not suitable for this job, and I will suggest that their marshal be replaced.”

Chu Guang is very clear that what he is good at is not the deployment of a certain battle or how to fight each war, just like his players know what kind of game is fun, but they may not be able to make a game that meets the taste of most people .

   It is the best choice to entrust the specific work to professionals.

   As for himself, he just needs to be the mascot of the coalition forces with peace of mind. There is no need to personally deploy every machine gun position and command every battle.

   Not only will the soldiers have headaches, but the generals may also have headaches.

  When he has this time, he would rather walk around the settlement to see how his little players are doing with the building.

   Seeing the satisfied smile on Chu Guang's face, Li Jinrong reckoned that he was in a good mood, and spoke for a moment after thinking about it.

   "My lord, there is one thing...it's not convenient for me to say it on the phone, so I have to report it to you in person."

  Chu Guang: "Speak, don't ask me for instructions."

"yes…"

After thinking about how to speak for a moment, Li Jinrong continued hesitantly, "Some time ago, the Xilan expeditionary force was reclaiming wasteland and farming in the north of the Wei River. At first we didn't take it seriously, it was just their special training methods at that time, but later they seemed … kind of put the cart before the horse.”

  When he mentioned the expeditionary force of the Xilan Empire, he had a strange expression on his face.

  He wanted to complain when those people first arrived. Those guys didn't seem to be here to fight at all, but rather came to tell jokes.

   Not to mention the 10,000 people who got lost in Baiyue Province, but the 20,000 people who went to the front line, none of them looked like they could fight.

  Especially after suffering a defeat some time ago, that General Barbita simply obtained a batch of farm tools and distributed them to his subordinates.

  At first, he really didn't want to take care of it, but those people reclaimed more and more areas, and they took over 40 to 50 square kilometers of land along the river.

   Some of the land was originally intended to be distributed by the Southern Construction Corps to soldiers participating in the construction of the Weifu military base. For this reason, there were some frictions between the two sides.

   Knowing that the farm tools in those people's hands were sold to them by the residents of the shelter, Li Jinrong was not sure whether this was what the manager meant, so he took this opportunity to ask.

  Chu Guang was also surprised when he heard it, but he didn't say much.

   "If they are really not good at fighting, it doesn't hurt to stay behind and farm."

   I heard that the 30,000th team of the Expeditionary Army performed well in the Baiyue Strait. Under the leadership of his little players, they have opened up a second port, Youtiao Port.

  If these guys can play a role in rebuilding the Weifu City area, it would be a good thing.

   Attacking Mount Ten Peaks is a short-term tactical goal, and eliminating the Church of the Torch is a mid-term strategic need, but in the final analysis, "reconstruction of the wasteland" is the ultimate and long-term goal of the alliance.

Whether it is the land reclamation of Baiyue Province, the reconstruction of Jinchuan Province, or even the reconstruction of all areas on the wasteland such as Borneo Province, Southern Sea Region, and Haiya Province, they are all within this long-term goal, just in order There is a sequence.

   "But... how to calculate the ownership of the land?" Li Jinrong asked the soldiers most concerned.

  Many people in the Southern Construction Corps were reformed criminals sent by the punishment camp, and some were refugees from nearby areas or volunteers who immigrated from other areas of the alliance.

  Excluding a few people is for the ideal of rebuilding the wasteland, but most people’s ideas are actually more realistic.

   That is, the land promised by the alliance.

  Many of them have no place to stay in their hometown, and they all look forward to a new start.

  The Alliance has promised them that it will help them open up their homeland in the southernmost part of Jinchuan Province.

  However, the sudden influx of outsiders made many people feel at a loss, especially when these outsiders began to occupy the living space that originally belonged to them.

  The most typical example is the expeditionary force of the Xilan Empire. They clearly came to fight, but they set their sights on the fertile land north of Weishui.

   There are also Groom Town and other places where survivors live.

  These guys couldn’t take the train to the front line, they rode horses and drove ox carts to the front line to do business, and even occupied the uninhabited village they were eyeing.

   This is naturally a good thing from the standpoint of the alliance, but it is a completely different point of view from the standpoint of grassroots personnel.

  They welcome the idiots of Ideal City and the Academy, neither like nor dislike the Willant people of the legion, but hate or even hate the Rat people of the Xilan Empire and those foreign merchants who come to grab business.

  As the person in charge of the Southern Construction Corps, Li Jinrong is equivalent to being caught between the grassroots and the top.

  He has to fulfill his duties and also take into account the feelings of the people below.

   Of course, the most critical thing is the attitude of the manager.

  So he found a less sensitive entry point, intending to test Chu Guang's meaning.

   Li Jinrong's thoughts and embarrassment could be seen at a glance, Chu Guang didn't point it out directly, but just said with a smile.

"Of course, it's up to you. The most indispensable thing in the wasteland is the land. Whoever reclaims it will own it...Of course, it's unfair to you to say that. After all, you have paid a lot for this military base. Great strength."

   Li Jinrong quickly explained.

   "Don't dare...this is what we should do."

   Seeing his nervous appearance, Chu Guang said with a smile.

   "There is nothing that should be done. Since I said that good things will stand out from the society of the alliance, I will definitely reward you enough for your contributions. Don't worry about this."

"Jinchuan province not only has one river, but also hundreds of tributaries of Tianshui, and there is a lot of land that can be cultivated. What's more, what the alliance can do is not only farming, the Weifu wasteland in the future will become a land. The settlement, the land under your feet is the 'Changjiu Farm' in Weifu City, you should understand what I mean after I have said so much, right?"

  Li Jinrong solemnly nodded his head.

"I see!"

"You know a hammer," Chu Guangyu said earnestly as he patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "I hope you take a long-term view and don't always focus on the little immediate interests. Compete with refugees for land, and vendors for stalls , is this something you should do?"

"Don't think that I don't know anything in the refuge. It's not that I can't see the friction between you and the soldiers of the expeditionary army and the residents of Mafu Town. You are arguing over a field by Weishui and a house in Kun Town. I just see It's all funny."

"Remember your names, you are the Construction Corps, your task is not just to build a military base, but to let those who want to farm land have land, and those who want to do business have an environment to do business. They will one day Will leave, but not all will. You will let those who stay stay with gratitude for us, and let those who leave us in the end take admiration for us back to their hometowns."

"And what you get is not only an honor, but also a brand new settlement, a hometown to start a new life! Aren't there many of you who can't go back to Boulder City? There are still people who made mistakes in Dawn City and have no face Go see your relatives and friends there. Including yourself, you can’t go back to Haiya Province. Although this is not your problem, since you were once a member of the Iron Tower Organization, there is no way to say that their failure has nothing to do with you relationship!"

"Don't talk about the alliance or I didn't give you a chance. The land under your feet is your Dawn City. What you have to do now is the same as what we did in the past - rebuild a new order in a wasteland of no order, A better order!"

  Looking at the thoughtful Li Jinrong, Chu Guang withdrew his hand on his shoulder, stared seriously into his eyes and said.

   "This is my biggest expectation for you, for you, and for the entire Southern Construction Corps."

   "Sorry..." Li Jinrong lowered his head in shame, and said introspectively, "I failed your expectations."

  There are so many people who could be united already standing here, and they failed to unite those people.

  Looking at it this way, the ones who put the cart before the horse are not the expeditionary forces of the Xilan Empire, nor the bumpkins from Groom Town who came to **** business, but those who could have done something.

   It wasn't until this moment that he realized what the problem was.

"Haha, that's not enough! Your contribution is obvious to all," Chu Guang smiled, and looked around, "One thing to say, this military base is still well-built, and the hardware facilities are excellent. But to be picky is that things on this basis need to be strengthened."

   Li Jinrong said solemnly.

   "After I go back, I will summon officers at all levels of the Corps to conduct a serious review! Clean up discipline from top to bottom!"

   Chu Guang exhorted.

"It's not just about cleaning up discipline. In addition to making demands, you have to seriously address grassroots concerns. The Southern Construction Corps is not a real army after all. Except for a small number of people who came with military ranks and establishments, most of them came to open up wasteland. .These people worked for two or three years at most, and then changed their jobs in the local area. Seeing those refugees come to pick peaches, it would be strange if they were not anxious, and you have to deal with their affairs."

"For example, the equipment for building the military base is still here. Now that the military base has been built, you can take those who are idle to renovate the nearby infrastructure, build some houses while building roads, and distribute them to those who pass by for land reclamation. Bloody pioneers. In this way, they will not be anxious because of those outsiders who enjoy their profits, and they will understand and cooperate with your work better."

   “This kind of thing cannot be done only by calling and mobilizing. You must first unite your own people before you can unite others.”

If the home for refugees is to digest the large and unstable group of wastelanders and help those who have left civilized society to reintegrate into civilized society, then the Southern Construction Corps is Chu Guang's initiative to promote the alliance's outward expansion. try.

If used properly, it can transform those who have undergone labor reform in "punishment camps" and "prisoner-of-war camps" into units similar to "pioneers" in "Civilization 6", opening up more base areas for the alliance .

  Baiyue Company is actually a similar existence, but the name, action subject, operation mode and logic are different.

  That is the game that players gradually find out in the version rotation that suits them.

  Chu Guang actually hopes that the npcs of the alliance can also become active like the players, and actively explore the road to rebuild civilization.

  However, after being a manager for so long, he somewhat understands the difficulties involved.

  The loyalty of those people is beyond doubt, and they are also loyal to the union and equality he advocated. After all, most of them are the beneficiaries of this idea.

   Not to mention loyalty, their beliefs and ideals are close to fanaticism, and they even wish to push him to the same high position as the Great Horned Deer God.

However, when he mentioned that the ultimate goal of the alliance is to end the wasteland era, whether it is Lu Bei who is following him, the wrench who guards the border of the alliance, or Luka who is diligently sitting in the position of the city lord, it is inevitable Showing a blank expression.

   Just like a real NPC.

  He could feel that what they were confused about was not actually the idea of ​​the alliance, nor did they doubt what he said, otherwise they would not have followed him so far.

   It just seems to many that the Alliance wasteland is over.

  Why end something that doesn't exist?

  They have even been recognized by the ancient survivor forces such as legions, colleges, and enterprises, and have also been respected by other young survivor forces.

   It’s good to go on with the current method, but exploring new methods requires taking unnecessary risks.

   Besides the players, the only people who can really understand him are Yin Fang, Heya, Old Charlie, and Vanus...

  For some unknown reason, Chu Guang suddenly sympathized with the marshal of the legion.

  Although I don’t know what kind of life that guy lived, but if he really lived up to the present as claimed by the legion, the Villant comrades who accompanied him at the beginning should be gone...

  Whether it is Vanus who is presiding over the meeting, or Lium who is sitting at the table with a gloomy face, they are just the great-great-great-great-grandson of that guy's comrade-in-arms.

  He couldn't imagine how difficult this game would have been without those brave little players...

  Looking at the back of Li Jinrong walking towards the distance, Chu Guangyouyou sighed softly.

   "Xiao Qi, our work has a long way to go."

   It seemed that he could hear the emotion in his voice, and seemed to empathize with something, Xiaoqi whispered softly in his ear.

   "Yes, Master."
