This Game Is Too Realistic

"boom--!"

The deafening gunshots rang through the woods. After weighing the pros and cons, Ye Shi finally chose to strike first.

The opposite seems to be the same.

At the same time that the bullet burst out of the barrel, a two-meter-high black shadow came out of the woods.

It was a four-legged beast.

It has a short body, sharp front claws, thick hind feet, and dagger-like fangs!

This thing doesn't look like a mammal, but more like a reptile.

The beast-like appearance is like a prostrate wolf, but there is no hair on the whole body, replaced by shiny scales!

What frightened Ye Shi was that this guy's ability to sense danger was not weak.

As if it anticipated his attack, it predicted and avoided his trajectory a split second before he pulled the trigger.

This seems like a coincidence.

But for a perception player, Ye Shi knew exactly what it was!

"careful!"

A belated exclamation came from the communication channel, and the distance between the two parties had quickly shortened from twenty meters to less than ten meters.

Not bracing himself because he was wearing power armor, Ye Shi quickly moved the muzzle of his gun to catch up with the alien's trajectory, switched to full-automatic mode and fired two shuttles with a short press.

His experience in the wasteland taught him that even wearing power armor did not mean he was invulnerable.

Especially "dangerous species" like the Death Claws can still hang up and beat up a rookie wearing power armor!

"D!"

The bullets fired suppressed the movement trajectory of the alien. The alien moved left and right for a while and was finally shot.

The 7mm bullet penetrated its horny scales, leaving bloody bullet holes on its body.

"Roar--!"

The alien wailed in pain, and its two green bean-like eyes flashed with fear.

but--

It did not just turn around and run away. Instead, it burst out with the courage to fight to the death. It used all its strength to launch a final charge, opened its bloody mouth and bit Ye Shi's face.

The fierce bite was like an oncoming truck, and Ye Shi could even smell the bad breath that hit his face.

However, he is a veteran player who has experienced many battles. Even if he is not good at strength and agility, he will not be defeated by this wild monster.

He turned sideways to avoid the huge mouth with terrifying bite force. He set up his rifle and blocked the roaring front paws with the butt of his rifle. Then he pulled out the lawn-chopping knife hanging from his waist and used it to cover his ears with lightning speed. The force slashed the beast's neck.

Driven by the power armor and muscles, the sharp blade was like lightning, directly cutting off its head.

Dark red blood spurted out from the gap in his neck, splashing on the emerald green grass with a "squeaking" sound.

Looking at the hot blood that he subconsciously avoided, Ye Shi had a surprised expression on his face.

At this time, anxious concerns came from the communication channel.

"Are you OK?"

"It's a small scene, not a big problem."

Ye Shi shook his head, glanced at the grass-chopping knife in his hand, wiped the blood on the broad leaf on the side, and then inserted it back into the leather sheath.

There's something sinister about this place.

Unable to help but glance at the misty grass again, he muttered and continued.

"Good guy...is this blood so acidic?"

What's even more outrageous is that the blood-stained grass seems to be moistened in the curling mist, and it grows even more vigorously.

What a hell.

Jiang Xuezhou's voice came from the communication channel.

"It's not necessarily acidic, it could be some kind of dehydrating substance that we don't understand... There are samplers and test tubes on the spacecraft. If possible, could you please collect some samples?"

"Don't be so polite, that's what I was planning to do."

"Wasteland OL" has always had the task of collecting exotic species illustrations, and the rewards given are quite a lot of contribution points and silver coins.

This thing is a alien species from an alien planet. Isn’t it any more awesome than a polar bear?

Ye Shi returned to the spacecraft, took off a professional sampling tool, collected the blood, saliva and tissue cells from the alien species, labeled them and put them into a low-temperature sample box.

And while he was busy for a while, the bloody smell from the beast's corpse had attracted a lot of strange little guys.

Among them were flying insects with straws, round beetles, a bunch of small reptiles that looked like ants but not quite like them, and small four-legged beasts that wandered around the edges of the trees, wanting to come forward but not daring to get close.

Wearing power armor, Ye Shi is not afraid of these bugs crawling on his body, but he still finds them annoying.

"Go, go, let's play."

Seeing more and more bugs, he had no choice but to pull out a white phosphorus bomb, pull the tab and throw it aside.

As the dazzling white light lit up, the acrid thick smoke spread around, finally driving away the insects.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for the insects to escape, Ye Shi immediately took the time to complete the sampling work.

And just when he came out after finishing his work and returning to the research ship, the head that had fallen in the grass not far away had been eaten away until the bones were exposed.

Ye Shi suddenly had a feeling that this place was like an enlarged version of the Baiyue Strait.

But unlike the latter, he didn't find anything similar to the original strain of Naguo around.

The relationship between species here seems to be a simple food chain, and there is no deeper exchange of DNA.

"...Is Gaia dead?"

He didn't know whether Gaia had the concept of death, but he couldn't help but feel so confused in his heart.

Especially since the threat he has encountered from the time he landed until now is just one alien species.

He thought the opponent would be the entire planet.

In fact, this is not only Ye Shi's confusion, but also Jiang Xuezhou's confusion.

It's not safe here, but it doesn't seem to be as dangerous as they imagined.

Of course, it may also be because they landed not long ago, and this huge planet has not yet realized that they are coming...

"...We'd better hurry up. Maybe we can get out of here before Gaia realizes our existence."

"I try my best."

After replying to Jiang Xuezhou, Ye Shi moved the body of the dead beast to a farther place and buried it. Then he returned to the vicinity of the spacecraft and sprinkled some feces taken from the intestines of the beast around.

This is Jiang Xuezhou's suggestion.

It is said that the excrement of carnivores can drive away other wild animals.

Although he didn't know whether this set of wilderness survival methods on earth would still work on foreign planets, Ye Shi still endured the physical discomfort and followed the instructions.

After finishing these things, he rubbed his armored gloves on the tree trunk nearby, almost pulling off the bark before he stopped, and then dragged out large and small bags of equipment from the research vessel.

These equipments were made by Jiang Xuezhou using materials from the engineering repair room of the Orion missile cruiser.

These include temporary base stations that support medium-distance signal reception, ground weather observation stations, charging piles for drones, solar panels and metal hydrogen batteries, etc.

With these equipment, he can at least ensure that he can "continuously network" within 50 kilometers of the scientific research ship.

It could be seen that Jiang Xuezhou was really worried about his safety, and Ye Shi himself had never been so worried about his own safety.

When he was doing missions around Dawn City in the past, he and his good brothers from the Burning Corps would always poke their faces into the grass. If they died, they would treat them as if they had returned to the city early.

After finally making all the preparations, Ye Shi carried the supply box that was half a man tall, followed by a four-rotor drone, and groped forward toward the signal from the black box of the wreckage of the Gemini guided missile cruiser.

I remember it was written in the background information on the official website that the People's Federation had built a road network and a rail transportation system connecting colonies on the planet Gaia, and the largest human community even had a population of one million.

However, for some unknown reason, Jiang Xuezhou's drone flew several times in the sky and saw nothing except the lush tropical rainforest.

It was as if all traces of civilization had been wiped away, leaving only the wildly growing and strangely shaped plants.

Ye Shi could only try to pass through the gaps between tree trunks and vines while waving the grass-cutting knife like a pioneer in the classical era, and pray that he would not encounter any strange alien species along the way.

To be honest, he had thought more than once about simply throwing an incendiary bomb to burn the ball.

But thinking about how alive this planet was, he could only bear the urge for the time being.

Gaia may not have noticed his presence yet, but it would be hard to tell if he set a fire.

Fortunately, perhaps the surrounding beasts also felt that the depths of the forest were full of danger, so he did not encounter the same ferocious carnivores along the way.

As for the poisonous insects that attacked him from time to time, they were all blocked by the shell of the power armor.

The only time it startled him was once.

That was when he was walking through a relatively open broadleaf forest.

One by one, dark brown branches are entangled between the trees that are twenty to thirty meters high, like dried vines.

At first, Ye Shi thought it was a vine, and without thinking much, he raised the grass-cutting knife in his hand and swung it.

As a result, the moment he hit the ten-meter-high vine net, dark green blood rushed all over him.

Then the whole "big dead net" seemed to come alive, splitting into brown pythons as thick as wrists, and "clattered" down from the sky like rain.

The snakes seemed to be going crazy, twisting on the ground and pounced on him, as if they wanted to kill him here.

Looking at the dense swarm of snakes, Ye Shi felt that his sanity was going crazy. In desperation, he pulled out a burning stick and danced wildly, using the pungent smoke and flickering firelight to break out of the encirclement.

After stumbling around in the woods for a while, and making sure that the writhing snakes didn't catch up, Ye Shi breathed a sigh of relief and threw away the extinguished burning stick in his hand.

The quadcopter drone followed him staggeringly, and Xiao Jiang's voice came from the communication channel.

"I analyzed the photo I just took... It should be some kind of snake-like creature under the reptile class of the phylum Chordata. They are connected end to end to form a net between the trunk and the trunk. Various signs indicate that they are not Teeth, you shouldn’t be interested in prey that’s bigger than your own mouth… You could just go around it then.”

"Damn, you're crazy..." The panting Ye Shi put his hands on his knees and cursed, "It's okay to hang in the air and pretend to be dead. I thought it was a vine..."

"Well, actually, they might..." Jiang Xuezhou suddenly lost his voice midway through his words, but Ye Shi, who had taken a breath, became curious.

"What could it be?"

Jiang Xuezhou hesitated for a while, and finally said in an unspeakable voice.

"They...may be mating."

"puff!"

Hearing the voice coming from the communication channel, Ye Shi almost choked on his own spit.

All right.

But I was offended.

"...Okay, okay, don't worry about these trivial things. The valley I photographed from the sky is right in front. The vegetation there is very dense and very high, so the signal may not be good. You must be more careful."

Feeling embarrassed to talk about this topic, Jiang Xuezhou quickly got the topic back on track.

"knew."

It happened that Ye Shi didn't want to stay here any longer, so after resting for a while, he carried the box and continued forward.

When entering the area surrounding the valley, the nearby terrain has obviously become much more rugged, and there are obviously more wild animals active around it.

Especially after passing through a bush, he found a row of indentations on the ground about half a meter wide and ten centimeters deep, like the footprints of some large creature.

"...I'm afraid there's something big around here."

It seems that there is probably a water source nearby.

After taking a few photos of the marks on the ground, Ye Shi felt a little vigilant.

Just as he expected, just after he passed through a patch of grass, the sound of gurgling water appeared in front of him.

The quadcopter drone following him flew over first, and Ye Shi also quickened his pace to follow.

Soon, a winding stream caught his eye, and soon after, he saw the beautiful scenery that he had never seen before.

Tree trunks as thick as pagodas stand around the winding stream. The dark brown trunks are covered with colorful moss and have broad leaves about one or two people tall.

Tiny light particles linger among the trees and leaves, like elves dancing in the air, forming a colorful star river in the sky.

And beside the tree-lined stream, a dozen giant mammals that were four to five meters tall were crouching by the river with their triangular heads buried in them, drinking water quietly.

The beautiful scenery made me so enchanted at night that I almost forgot about the danger that lurked the murderous intention.

As if aware of his gaze, the triangular head that was lying on its belly and drinking water raised its head.

But perhaps because they didn't feel any danger from him, they buried their heads again soon and continued to lick the sweet stream as if he didn't exist.

"What a nice view……"

Xiao Jiang's voice came from the communication channel, and she was obviously attracted by the magnificent scenery in front of her.

"Indeed, even the forests in Baiyue Province are not as interesting as here... The only thing that confuses me is where Gaia went."

After coming back to his senses, Ye Shi muttered something quietly and followed the stream to find a way across the river.

It was at this moment that he suddenly noticed a dark green crystal deposit lying across the higher reaches of the river.

"This is... a crystal mine?"

A surprised expression appeared on Ye Shi's face, and he walked towards the crystal clear rock mass.

I saw rows of dark green crystals, just like growing on the rock wall, spreading along the gaps into the depths of the rock mass.

Are there copper veins near here?

With this thought in his mind, he got closer and was surprised to find crystals that looked like broken diamonds.

Dark green crystals are condensed on their backs, and they travel back and forth between the rock cracks and the rock surface.

From time to time, dark green crystals fall off their backs, and that seems to be the source of these dark green crystals!

"This is actually some kind of organic material?!"

Ye Shi was greatly surprised and took out a palm-sized awl and tapped it on the ground.

This thing is quite hard, and the hardness may be higher than diamond, and it actually caused scratches on the surface of the awl!

At this time, Jiang Xuezhou's excited voice came from the communication channel.

"Come back with more!"

"I know... I'm working on it." Ye Shi hurriedly replied, knocking a whole rock off the wall.

Sure enough, women like shiny things.

Of course, it may not be for scientific research purposes.

In fact, not to mention Jiang Xuezhou, Ye Shi himself was also curious about what this thing was and how many silver coins it could be exchanged for when brought back to Earth.

Speaking of which, I don’t know whether this thing appeared in recent years or whether it existed more than 200 years ago.

If it appeared recently, he might be the first person to discover this dark green crystal.

According to the convention of "Wasteland OL", the first person to discover it has priority in naming.

Should we call it "Ye Jing" or "Ye Jing" then?

Just when Ye Shi was secretly having fun, there was suddenly a rustling sound coming from the nearby trees.

Hearing the sound, Ye Shi subconsciously raised his head, but was stunned for a moment.

I saw a figure with light green skin standing there.

The man held a javelin half a man's height in his hand, and the tip of the javelin was the dark green crystal.

Those dark blue eyes stared at him intently, standing there motionless as if they couldn't get rid of the iron knots on his body or something.

Seeing the light green skin, Ye Shi's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

"What the hell?"

Mutant? !

But--

How can this be? !

He clearly remembered how mutants were born. It was an accident that occurred at the Biological Research Institute in the Cloud Province in the 44th year of the Wasteland Era.

No matter how fast the mutants reproduce and how strong their vitality is, they won't be able to reproduce on the planet Gaia, right? !

At this moment, he had no time to think too much. His index finger had already opened the safety of the rifle and rested on the trigger.

But at this moment, a rapid shouting came from the other end of the communication channel.

"Wait a minute, Ye Shi! This guy may not be a mutant! Don't rush to do it yet!"

At the same time as this sound sounded, a rustling sound came from the grass, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of densely packed figures appeared under the woods.

The moment they saw the group of "little green men", the "triangular-faced" people who were lying by the river drinking water raised their heads and howled loudly, then turned around and ran away.

It can be seen that they have suffered a lot from these "little green men".

And at the same time, Ye Shi saw a scene that shocked him even more——

I saw a pterosaur flapping its wings flying through the air!

Different from the pterosaur he saw in the dinosaur museum, that guy also had dark green crystals on his body, and the spear tips on the spears in the hands of these little green men seemed to have been picked off from the big guy.

This is a hunting team!

Ye Shi's head turned rapidly.

Just when he couldn't decide what to do, an older man suddenly walked out of the twenty or thirty figures.

The old man's skin was wrinkled, his mouth was hung with a messy beard, and his eyes were filled with tears. He screamed in a language he didn't understand, and then suddenly fell to his knees on the ground.

This action startled Ye Shi, and seemed to frighten the group of little green people behind.

But soon, the old man turned around and said a few words, and the strong young men also put down their weapons and prostrated on the ground with pious expressions.

"What are you doing? Get up!"

Ye Shi said dumbfounded, but then remembered that they might not understand what he said.

But just when he was thinking this, the old man came out of his mouth with a stumbling couplet.

"Meet...the ancestor...my lord."
