This Game is Too Real

   Chapter 85 Claw Crab! Dangerous species appear

   Chu Guang never thought that the second case of non-combat attrition in Vault 404 was actually because of crabs in the lake?

   "Crack Claw Crab."

   Looking towards the shore of the lake, the big crab lying on the player's head feasting, Chu Guang recognized the identity of this thing in just a second.

  This crab probably belongs to a mutant of some kind of lake crab. As for the specific species, no one knows, and it doesn’t matter. After all, crabs that grow to a height of one meter are not suitable for anyone to draw relatives.

   The mud and algae hanging all over the body seem to never be cleaned, and it looks like a muddy mess from a distance. The high uplifted arc-shaped carapace is a natural armor, which is accumulated with a large amount of calcium and magnesium minerals, chitin, keratinized fibers, and other biopolymers, which can effectively disperse and buffer kinetic energy damage. It's no different than scratching it.

   And the two huge pliers are even more explosive. It is said that they can cut off the trunk of the thigh... But how did this thing appear here?

  Is there a claw crab nest at the bottom of the lake or somewhere on the other side of the lake?

  Chu Guang's brows tightened.

   "What is a split-claw crab?" Fang Chang, who was following next to him, was confused and asked quickly.

   "Xenogeneic."

   No time to explain.

   The cracked claw crab has already gnawed off half of its head, and if we wait any longer, the part below the neck of the unlucky little player will be devoured.

Chu Guang adjusted the KV-1 exoskeleton from "cruise mode" to "motorized mode", which increased the output power of the knee and elbow joints, walked towards the claw crab with heavy steps, and calmly pulled out the Hammer behind.

   The shell of the claw crab is very wide, so that the claw crab has almost no rear view.

  Although their hearing at close range is very keen, as long as they are walking towards this thing, it cannot accurately distinguish the front and rear of the target.

   If it is fast, you can turn it over with a hammer in 2 seconds!

   However, Chu Guang had just taken two steps out of the forest, and when he was still 20 to 30 meters away, Brother Mosquito suddenly came out of the grass next to him carrying a wooden tube.

   "The big crab? Where is it??? 左, it's so big! Master Manager, it's too dangerous there, please don't go there! Let me get rid of it!"

   After that, Brother Mosquito excitedly lit the lead wire behind the wooden tube, carried it on his shoulder, and aimed the black hole at the crab.

   "Fuck!"

   "It's a mosquito!"

   "Run!"

   The players who joined in the fun were all frightened by his actions, and they fled away as if they had seen a plague.

   Before Chu Guang could stop it, the wooden tube burst out with a tongue of flame, and with a fist-sized cannonball, it swishly drilled towards the cracked claw crab.

  The Crab Claw probably heard the movement, but before he had time to turn around, the cannonball with the long forearm fell into the mud behind its butt.

   Obviously.

   This RPG isn't exactly accurate.

   But it doesn't matter anymore.

   Hearing the sound of "Boom", a mud column flew up to four or five meters flat on the ground, the firelight of the explosion shook the carapace twice, and the billowing smoke directly swallowed the huge body.

   Nearly one kilogram of gunpowder exploded in an instant. If someone stood so close, even if they were not scratched by shrapnel, their internal organs would have been shattered.

   However, crack claw crabs are not human after all.

The shock wave of the    explosion could not penetrate its carapace at all, let alone shock its few internal organs.

   A shrill and hoarse howl sounded.

   The crack claw crab engulfed by the thick smoke rushed out in pain, and quickly locked on the nearest Chu Guang, waving big pliers and ramming over.

   But the leg is probably "broken" by the shock, and its speed is just a little faster than human walking.

   Nearby players hurriedly raised their guns and fired, but the Crab Claw Crab, who had been shot a few times, was unaffected as if it were nothing.

   "Cease Fire!"

  Chu Guang raised his right fist to signal the players to stop wasting bullets, then slammed the sledgehammer in his hand and walked forward with a sigh.

   "It will really find something for me to do."

  …

  The lame Claw Crab is no different from the Marauder who shoots empty ammunition in front of the Nitrogen Power Hammer.

  Chu Guang didn't waste time with it at all. He switched to Mode B and smashed it with a heavy attack. The nitrogen armor that exploded instantly smashed half of its face.

  The battle is over.

  The dozen or so little players who came out of the base with him were also responsible for scratching, and apart from wasting a few bullets, they didn't deal any damage at all.

"too strong……"

   "Boss Dawn is awesome!"

   "I finally know how that looter's head is gone..."

  The surrounding players whispered excitedly.

   Mosquito, who was carrying the wooden tube, looked dazed, and it took a long time to regain his senses until the battle was over.

   "Fuck... is this all right?"

   "Why don't you use HE shells to hit the crew, anyway, change to AP shells," Ye Shi patted Mosquito's shoulder with a hippy smile, "But one thing, brother, I'll punish you for your skills."

   Mosquito blushed and made a quibble.

   "It must be the plot... plot kills! The plot is not over, how can it be killed if the blood is locked. One kilogram of gunpowder, without the blood, will definitely die!"

   "Hahahaha, it's possible! Why can't I think of bloodlocking in my brain hahaha."

  “…”

   Fang Chang sighed, didn't laugh at him with Ye Shi, just patted the big brother on the shoulder, gave him an encouraging look, and went up to help the manager to pack up the spoils.

   Such a big claw crab, at least three hundred pounds, maybe four or five hundred pounds.

  【Midnight Killing Chicken】Turning an axe around, he slammed an axe on the back of the cracked claw crab, but the shock was so painful that there was only a mud mark left on the dirty thick shell.

   "Fuck? This shell is made of iron?" His eyes bulged, and for the first time he doubted the power of his axe.

   "It should be good for armor," [Mole on the Run in the Canyon] crouched beside him, and ripped the big crab's claws with a hatchet. "The claws are so hard, is this thing really a radiation mutation?"

   "Ghost knows."

   Looking at the group of players flanking the Crab Claw Crab, Chu Guang put away the hammer.

   "Find a scooter and bring it back."

"Yes!"

   "Follow your orders! Mr. Manager!"

   Looking at the players who started to work, Chu Guang then found two little players who had nothing to do, and asked them to carry the headless corpse on the ground back.

  Fortunately, they arrived just in time. The little player only had his brain eaten, and his clothes were basically intact. The shrapnel and burning wood tar that had exploded before were basically blocked by the shell of the cracked claw crab.

  Chu Guang is not worried that the players will die, but is more worried that they will ruin their clothes.

  People can come back after death. There are only two sets of blue jackets in total. If it breaks, I really don’t know where to get such a fit.

  …

   On the way back, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and snow had begun to hang on the treetops and leaves of the grass. If it doesn't stop at night, it is estimated that it will not have to wait for the next one, and it will get a layer of snow tomorrow.

  Chu Guang preliminarily speculated that the drop in temperature should have caused the change in the range of these claw crabs, but he did not know which direction they migrated from.

   But don't settle down in front of his house.

   In order to prevent similar things from happening again, Chu Guang issued an order to designate the surrounding area as a danger zone.

  Do not approach until the source of these claw crabs is found out.

   At the same time, he also instructed two players of the perception system, one to the northeast and one to the southwest, to investigate along the lakeshore, and report any abnormality immediately.

   There was a one-meter-high crab on his stomach, which was carried onto the cart by two power-type players.

   Singing chaotic songs of triumph along the way, these players who "going out" with the manager, carried the spoils back to the outpost.

   That high-profile appearance attracted the attention of many people.

   "Fuck, such a big crab?"

"what's going on?!"

   I was curious, and I didn't know the truth, and I went up to grab a follower and asked.

   "Brother, where did you catch such a big crab?"

   "I caught it."

   "What's the deal?! Can you fish so well?!"

   "Hey, let's get the fisherman to make a nest first, isn't that the catch?"

   Not only the players nearby, but also Yu Hu, who happened to come from Bette Street to trade.

   A man stood beside him. The two of them carried a wooden stick by one shoulder. A sturdy mutant wild boar was tied to the wooden stick. They stood in front of the west gate and looked at the crab. Everyone was dumbfounded.

   But Chu Guang found him, walked towards him, and said with a smile.

   "To change something?"

  Yu Hu opened his mouth, his eyes just moved away from the big crab, and then stuck to the big hammer behind Chu Guang.

   But the man next to him reacted first, nodded nervously, and said honestly.

   "I want to change some salt. I heard you can change salt here."

  Yu Hu finally came back to his senses and hurriedly introduced it to Chu Guang.

   "This is my cousin, surnamed Li, called Li Niu."

  Li Niu is ok.

  Chu Guang had a weird expression, thinking what to do if you run out of these twelve zodiac signs and a few common animals.

   "It's snowing outside, come in with me."

  Under the leadership of Chu Guang, the two of them were unimpeded at the outpost, but there were always people who looked at them curiously.

  Yu Hu was used to it, after all, he had come here several times, but the cousin he brought was his first time, and he always felt uncomfortable.

   "Don't worry, they've been underground for a long time and haven't seen anyone outside the shelter, so they'll be curious when outsiders come."

   Seeing this big man in a blue coat talking to him, Li Niu quickly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I don't care."

  Chu Guang nodded, took the two to the warehouse, and handed them directly to the warehouse manager Luca who was there.

   This old serf recognized Yu Hu and immediately understood what he should do, and skillfully took the man named Li Niu to the slaughter booth.

  Yu Hu handed over all his prey to him. Instead of following him, he leaned beside Chu Guang and stared curiously at the big hammer.

   "Brother Chu, is this your weapon?"

   "That's right."

   "Such a big one? Can it be used?"

"Of course."

   "Then, you killed the cracked claw crab just now with this hammer?"

"Yes."

   got an affirmative answer, the boy's eyes bulged out, it took a while to digest the shock in his heart, and he said a word.

"too strong!"

  Crack Claw Crab!

   A monster that no scavenger would ever want to encounter.

  This thing has a fast dash speed in narrow terrain, extremely high explosive power, and simple thinking. Once the target is locked, it is chasing to the death.

   Unless you can find a high place to climb up, you will not be able to escape.

   There is almost nothing that can just pass this monster in the front, even the mutant brown bear is not willing to fight it.

  Chu Guang smiled and did not explain.

  It doesn't matter whether he is strong or not, as long as the power of technology is strong enough.

  The nuclear-powered hammer, coupled with the chemical-powered exoskeleton, can knock down a wall with a single hammer, not to mention the face of a beast?

   "It's alright. Speaking of which, how is the situation on your side? It looks like the snow won't stop for a while."

"What else can I do? It's almost the same time every year, so I can make do with it," Yu Hu said with an optimistic look on his face, "but this winter this year is too early, and we prepared in a hurry. Originally in October There are still caravans coming over, but who would have thought that in late September this year would be the last wave...hey."

  Chu Guang said comfortingly.

   "Looking at it another way, the meat will last longer when it's cold."

  Yu Hu shook his head.

   "But the prey is hard to find, and if you want to hit the prey again, you have to keep walking into the city to find the nests of those alien species."

  Chu Guang said with interest.

   "Oh? Do you have any experience?"

  Yu Hu nodded and spoke.

"It's not a lot of experience, I think it's half of it! That kind of half-upside-down building, especially the kind that is arched into by a tree, many small animals love to burrow into it, and even build nests in it. Some hyenas. , Jackal, in short, meat-eating animals also follow in, that kind of place can find prey all year round...it's risky."

  Chu Guang: "The eater."

"Well, gnats like to hide in the building the most, but they don't hide too high. We all start from the fourth floor and go up. But even so, it's hard to say what we will encounter inside. Maybe it's a There are tens of thousands of mice in the nest, maybe it is a resting crawler. Without a gun, we don’t dare to go too deep, and at most we can walk to the edge of the fifth ring.”

  Chu Guang sighed.

   "It's snowing, and it's not easy to go inside."

   Yu Hu said with a wry smile.

   "It's not just that it's hard to walk when it's snowing, it's hard to walk without snow! The road is like a maze, jumping up and down, and some streets are even flooded from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, soaking in water and never drying!"

The straight-line distance from   Bett Street to Boulder City on the map is more than ten kilometers, that is, outside the Fifth Ring Road in Qingquan City to the edge of the Third Ring Road, and the Wetland Park is further away.

   Qingquan City could not be found in the parallel world, but Chu Guang drew a line of more than ten kilometers on the map by drawing an analogy to Jiangcheng where he once lived, and he could draw from the riverside to the far city.

   What is the concept of this distance?

  If there is no traffic jam, it is better to drive for half an hour, and maybe an hour if there are many forks.

   As for walking?

  Chu Guang has never tried to walk this far, but if he thinks about it, even if he can't generalize, he can't run through twenty overpasses or underground tunnels.

   This is under normal traffic conditions.

   If you traverse the ruins, it is a completely different concept.

  In the pre-war era, even the shortest buildings within the Fourth Ring Road were basically above 600 meters. The magnetic bases and magnetic nodes laid on the outer walls of roads and buildings are the foundations of three-dimensional traffic supporting 120 longitudinal lanes.

  In the era when maglev technology was popularized to private cars, the meaning of high-rise buildings has long ceased to be just a "house", and has even become part of a "road", especially buildings close to main roads, and there are rigid requirements for height.

   Of course, these are all speculations made by Chu Guang based on the stories told by Old Charlie and limited intelligence, and may not be accurate.

   But just by imagining the row upon row of dominoes, he could feel the oppression brought by this reinforced concrete cemetery.

  People always have an instinctive awe or even fear for creations that are hundreds of times larger than themselves. It is indeed not an easy task to search for prey in this ruins...

  Chu Guang suggested.

   "Why don't your family move to my place, I just happen to be short of manpower."

   Although he was a little excited, Yu Hu shook his head like a rattle.

   "No, no, we can't trouble you."

  Chu Guang said with a smile.

   "What kind of trouble is this, and I am not raising you for nothing, at most it is helping each other."

   Yu Hu's head shook faster.

"It's okay to come here to help you. It's fine to live for a few days, but it's not enough to move here! We live there quite well, living underground... It always feels weird. Besides, no one else talks here except you. I don’t understand it either, it’s definitely hard to get along after a long time.”

   Seeing what he said, Chu Guang didn't insist anymore.

  Although Chu Guang wanted to say that they were not the same as the "blue jackets" in the traditional sense, they didn't always live underground, but this was obviously not the crux of the problem.

   When a person rejects for multiple reasons, the reason given is often the least important one.

   The most typical example is "My mother won't let it."

   Therefore, Chu Guang never listened to the explanation, and he did not listen to it.

  Trust is something that takes time to build, no way to force it.

   Besides, people are not without homes.

   You can't demolish other people's houses.

  Yu Hu changed the subject and asked with a silly smile.

   "Speaking of which, Brother Chu, is the meat on that big crab edible? This is the first time I've seen someone catch this guy."

  Chu Guang said with a smile.

   "I don't know, I'm going to ask you."

   "Me? I don't know, I've heard that the female crab roe can be eaten, but I haven't heard anyone say that crab meat can be eaten... It would be great if it could be eaten. How much meat does a crab this big get?"

   said, Yu Hu was drooling.

  Chu Guang smiled and waved his hand.

   "Wait for the next time! I'll study whether it's poisonous first. If it's not poisonous, please eat as much as you can!"

  Yu Hu nodded vigorously and smiled.

   "Okay! At that time, I will bring my eldest brother, father and little fish with me!"

   "Haha, I'll pack a copy for you and take it home!"

   The two chatted for a while, and the slaughtering was over there.

  It is probably because the winter has just entered, the 250kg wild boar has a meat rate of 60%, and 150kg of meat is picked.

   Of which 20% is 30kg, which is considered as a reward for the shelter. The remaining 120 kilograms were given to the man of the Li family and Yu Hu.

   Boar skin is also a high-quality leather, especially for armor. Although it is not as scarce as deerskin, its value is still much higher than that of hyena skin.

   After asking Chu Guang for instructions, Luka calculated 300g of coarse salt for the man at the price of deerskin.

   Changed to salt, the man looked happy, thanked Chu Guang and Luka for a while, and then left with Yu Hu.

   "Luca."

   Seeing the master talking to him, Luca bowed his head respectfully.

   "Any orders? Sir."

  Chu Guang asked.

   "Is the meat of the claw crab edible?"

   Luca was stunned for a moment, frowned for a while, and said carefully.

   "Sir, this old slave has been working in the fields. I have never seen such a thing... But if you are not sure, I can test the poison for you."

   "That's not necessary."

   If you really need to test the poison, it is also for the player to try it. If it is not poisoned, lie down in the training cabin. How can the extra 100% recovery speed bonus come back.

   Besides, it doesn't matter if he dies, he is a hero for three days on the official website.

   But at this moment, Chu Guang suddenly thought of a person, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Yup.

   Why forgot about that guy.

  Do you need someone to try it?

   Give Yaya a look and see if she eats or not!
