This Game Is Too Realistic Chapter 156: Messenger from Boulder
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of this game is too real!
Far away.
The falling snow and more than a dozen gunshots gave the funeral a sense of sadness.
The three fallen Marines were placed in the freezer, and the crew of the Trailblazer held a simple funeral for them.
In order to prevent the corpses of their comrades from being eaten by alien species, they would freeze the corpses and store them in the morgue. After the expedition was victorious, they would take them back to Ideal City for burial.
There were one hundred people on the Pioneer when it set off, but now there are only ninety people left, and three people are lying in the medical cabin receiving treatment, waiting for prosthetic implant surgery.
Looking at the bodies of his comrades, Lu Yang felt a little heavy, and even felt a little confused.
He did not doubt the decision of the company's top management, nor was he afraid of dying while searching for Shelter 0. However, what worried him was that he didn't know how many more people would die if he continued like this.
We have just arrived in the River Valley Province, and we have already reduced our staff by 10%.
If we continue westward and deeper into the wilderness...
At this time, his adjutant Yi Hai walked up to him and whispered.
"We should increase our weapons reserves, at least 500 tons more. The further west we go, the greater the possibility of us encountering legion forces. I'm worried...that there will be a new situation by then."
Lu Yang nodded.
"I discussed this issue with Section Chief Li of the Logistics Section last night. On the one hand, we need to increase weapons reserves, and on the other hand, we need to actively obtain reinforcements from the corporate headquarters. I plan to help the residents of Vault 404 strengthen their Base of operations, if reinforcements from the corporate headquarters arrive later, supplies can be obtained from them."
Not just for this reason.
What Lu Yang is worried about is that General Klass of the expeditionary force learned that Vault 404 received the title of "Permanent Partner of the Enterprise" not long after the loss of his thousand-man brigade.
That undoubtedly told them that Vault 404 played a decisive role in the outcome of that war.
Perhaps General Klass will not lose his mind for a captain and forget what he came to the Valley Province to do.
But it's hard to say whether they will take other retaliatory actions.
After all, those pillagers are the "number one fans" of the legion. Many pillagers' organization and techniques for taming slaves were simply copied from the legion.
Yi Hai nodded lightly.
"I thought so too."
……
The sky is dimly lit.
In the distant operation camp, the hard-working residents of Vault 404 have begun to make fires to cook.
Fang Chang, who was sitting in the camp with his left arm wrapped in a bandage and a bowl in his hand, took a sip of noodle soup and said with emotion.
"Hey, luckily Brother Scrambled Egg is still alive, otherwise I wouldn't be able to eat these noodles."
The bow and life were saved.
The only pity is that Brother Ye Shi was sacrificed, Lao Bai had something to do and couldn't get on the ship today, and Brother Guangfeng lost an arm and is receiving treatment on the Pioneer.
He can only sit here and eat this bowl of noodles by himself.
"I am also a physique type after all, how can I lose it so easily?" With a piece of plaster on his face, the scrambled egg guy in charge of the spoon didn't forget to shout, "Next one."
Although more than a hundred people died last night, the living people did not seem to be affected. They only sighed occasionally during the chat, as if they were feeling sorry for the victims.
Leaning next to the waterwheel and eating the steamed buns he just bought, Yuan Hao looked at the white smoke floating in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.
"Maybe we should learn from their optimism."
"Yes..." Werther nodded, his eyes full of admiration and emotion, "Maybe, this is the reason why they can survive in this miserable world."
"Today's soy milk sounds good."
"Indeed! To be honest, I really wish I could leave the growing cabin to them... It would be a waste to let the freeze-drying workshop and mobile kitchen handle those precious ingredients."
At this time, a dark transport plane flew from the direction of Linghu in the south.
It looks like a dolphin, with a wide nose and a slender fuselage. The two engines located one behind the other at the bottom of the cabin spray out coquettish blue arcs of fire, pushing the fuselage forward.
The electromagnetic point defense on the top of the Pioneer aimed at it, followed its outline and moved slowly for a while, and then fired two mass bomb warnings.
The blast that broke through the sound barrier forced the plane to stop. It stopped moving forward sensibly and slowly landed in the open area south of the Pioneer.
The engine was turned off, and four men wearing exoskeletons jumped out of the cabin neatly and walked towards the Pioneer from a distance.
Many players in the action camp saw this scene, with surprised expressions on their faces.
"Holy shit?"
"Helicopter without propellers!"
"That engine with blue light is so handsome..."
"I wish I could buy one!"
"One million silver coins per rack, go buy it."
"Shut up now, what if the planner hears it?"
For this group of uninvited guests, although the Pioneer did not sound the alarm, it entered the first level of combat readiness. The employees of the logistics department took the elevator back to the inside of the fortress, and were replaced by four marines wearing power armor. Elevator up and down.
As he walked forward with his three teammates, Captain Lu Yang stared at the four people in front of him and frowned slightly.
"Who are you?"
The leading man took a step forward and spoke politely.
"We are members of the Boulder City Militia. My name is Li Hua."
Lu Yang stared at him.
"Silver Group's First Pioneer Corps, Lu Yang, explain your purpose of coming."
"In the aftermath, we don't want to get involved in your conflicts, but after all, this conflict happened on our territory..."
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the fixed-wing drone taking off from the top of the fortress. Li Hua raised his hands helplessly, "Don't be nervous, friends who have come from afar. Your fight is over anyway, so why not stop here? Why don't you put it down?" Handle the captives to us, and we can pay a ransom for them... It's useless for you to keep them anyway, right?"
"Are you here on behalf of the legion?" Lu Yang's tone darkened.
Li Hua said.
"Neutral third party, of course, if you refuse, we won't say anything. After all, he is your prisoner, and you have the power to deal with him."
Lu Yang pondered for a while and said.
"I don't make the decision on the captives alone. I have to ask our allies for their opinions."
"Ally?" The man was stunned for a moment, and exchanged surprised glances with his teammates. Finally, he looked at Lu Yang and nodded helplessly, "Okay... we can wait."
How dare anyone interfere with the legion's affairs?
What a warrior!
Watching those people return to the plane, Lu Yang also took his men back to the Pioneer and hung up the phone to Chu Guang.
When the call was made, Chu Guang happened to be at the office and took the pension payment list from Luo Hua.
117000CR and a magnetically confined plasma processing machine.
Yes, the latter is free.
After this battle, the chief of the logistics department changed his previous attitude and decided to repair the machine tool for them free of charge as a reward for helping Vault 404 in that encounter.
However, the machine tool technology is relatively complex, and it will take about a week to completely repair it, so he needs to wait patiently for a while. Luo Hua promised Chu Guang that he would definitely deliver the thing to them before leaving.
Of course Chu Guang doesn't mind waiting, and he's not in a hurry.
Can you save 100,000 CR? It’s a real profit, right?
The price he paid was only 117 points of active substance. Since the clones left more than two thousand corpses, rounding it off equals no cost.
In addition, there is also a pension of 117,000CR, which is great whether you use it to buy guns or food, okay?
Of course, since the amount of materials involved in tens of thousands of CRs is too huge, Luo Hua also reminded Chu Guang that the Pioneer's production capacity is limited. If a large amount of materials needs to be purchased, it is best to place an order in advance. They We don't have a lot of inventory, and it takes time to arrange production.
For example, assault rifles.
For example, agricultural products.
If it cannot be delivered before departure, you can only give them the money and let them buy it with the company's caravan.
Of course, these problems are nothing to Chu Guang.
If Vault 404 becomes a permanent partner of the company, it will be no problem even if the CR is not spent, it will be used one day.
Chu Guang was very happy at the moment, but he couldn't show too much excitement at the moment. He felt that all 16 points of his strength were used up to suppress his laughter.
However, he was not happy for a while, and soon received a call from Lu Yang...
"Boulder City? Are they planning to redeem people?" After hearing what Captain Lu said, Chu Guang was stunned.
Two days ago, he was still talking about how the people in Boulder City had been silent for a long time, but they came here early this morning.
"Yes." In the holographic image, Lu Yang nodded, "Their people have just arrived in the northern suburbs."
Chu Guang asked immediately.
"How did they get here?"
Such heavy snow!
The entire road from the northern suburbs to the Third Ring Road is closed. This is not a matter of just one or twenty kilometers, but a matter of climbing several mountains and drilling several holes!
The most important thing is that they did not pass the northern elevated highway out of the city, and the hummingbirds lingering in this area did not even see them at all.
Is it still possible to cross the lake?
Lu Yang: "It is a twin-engine rotorless helicopter."
Chu Guang: "..."
Okay.
He wasted his expression.
But since they can afford to fly, they are probably not ordinary mercenaries or mercenaries. They are probably members of the Boulder City Militia.
Looking at Lu Yang’s holographic image, Chu Guang’s expression became serious, and he spoke without even paying a ransom.
"We can't take this ransom!"
Lu Yang looked at Chu Guang and asked.
"We did not agree to their promise. I would like to know your views before deciding what to do with those prisoners."
Opinion?
What can you think of this?
It would be great fun if the prisoners were released and the expeditionary forces in the north knew that they had ruined their good deeds.
Although the legion's expeditionary force will know sooner or later that it was them, but if the same thing is known in different ways, the possible consequences will be completely different.
If Vanus had not returned, even if the general of the expeditionary force knew the inside story, he would not necessarily send people to the south to search for a stupid loser.
The march was slow in the heavy snow. When the snow stopped, the Pioneer had long disappeared. It was not worth traveling 500 kilometers to beat up a group of country bumpkins.
If there are too few people, you will lose your life. If there are too many people, you will not be able to get back the capital.
But if Vanus is allowed to go back alive, that's not a good idea.
What if this guy convinces his general, gathers a team of a thousand men, and comes back to find a place?
It's not completely impossible.
Considering the commander's connections within the legion and the expeditionary force, and possible kinship, Chu Guang could list at least four completely different possibilities.
Lu Yang asked after some thought.
"Then how do you think it should be handled better?"
"If you don't plan to take him with you when you leave, then give these prisoners to us," Chu Guang said sincerely, looking at Lu Yang in the holographic image, "After the northern expeditionary force is defeated, I'll give him a chance to redeem himself, but not now."
It is definitely not possible to let him go, and it is not appropriate to kill him. It is best to wait until the expeditionary force withdraws from the River Valley Province, and then decide based on the specific situation whether to deal with him or give him a chance to kill him. Redeem to go.
The captains of the legion are all slave owners, and they can always find ways to squeeze some benefits out of them.
If it doesn’t work, it will be the same if we sell it to Boulder City.
At least while the Legion's expeditionary force is still in the River Valley Province, Chu Guang cannot put this unstable factor back.
Lu Yang probably thought of this and nodded.
"Okay, actually I don't agree with letting him go now. At least before we set off, we have to control him and make sure he doesn't run around. Since we have the same idea, those who come from Boulder City Messenger, I’ll just do my best.”
Chu Guang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly.
"So good."
……
The jet-black helicopter took off again and headed back towards Boulder City on the edge of the Third Ring Road in Qingquan City.
Looking at the Pioneer, which was getting further and further away, Li Hua had some regret on his face.
The militia soldier sitting next to him couldn't help but ask.
"Sir, are we leaving like this?"
Li Hua glanced at him.
"What if? Do you have any better ideas?"
The soldier immediately shut his mouth and stopped talking.
What good ideas does he have?
He was just worried that the group leader would blame them when he saw them returning without success.
But speaking of it, these hillbillies from the northern suburbs are really brave enough to actually get involved in the dispute between the legion and the enterprise.
Are they planning to dance in a minefield?
I don’t understand.
The action camp not far away.
The players who originally thought there would be some new plot dispersed in disinterest and went about their own business.
"What are these people here to do?"
"I don't know..."
"Who do you think those people could be?"
"The equipment looks different from the company's... Could it be someone from Boulder City?"
"It's possible."
At 12 o'clock in the morning during game time and 12 o'clock at noon tomorrow in real time, a trophy auction will be held on the official website.
Judging from the pictures posted in the announcement, there are many good things on the auction list. Many small players who are still online have decided that they can make some money during this time. When the auction comes, you can take photos of your favorite equipment.
At the same time, on board the Pioneer.
Fengfeng, who was lying on the medical bed, looked at his right hand in surprise, with disbelief written all over his face.
That's a robotic hand.
The shiny steel shell looks quite strong and heavy, but it does not affect its flexibility at all.
Honestly, it doesn't look like a prosthetic body at all.
It's like it grew out of him!
At that time, he was lying in the trench. He thought he was about to go down to stay with him for the night. Unexpectedly, a soldier wearing an exoskeleton rescued him. He screamed and then carried him on his back. stretcher.
In short, he seemed to be the only seriously injured person who survived without being repaired.
In order to save him, the Pioneer carried him onto the operating table, then injected him with anesthesia... and then Guangfeng was disconnected.
After an unremarkable afternoon in real life, at night, Fengfeng put on the helmet with the intention of giving it a try, but to his surprise, he successfully connected.
And when he woke up from the coma, he found that he had become like this.
At this time, the door of the infirmary opened.
A doctor in surgical clothes walked in.
"You woke up, how do you feel?"
Wind: "..."
What is this person talking about?
There are no subtitles either.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the doctor sighed softly and continued.
"Sorry, we have tried our best. More than 90% of the tissue in your right hand has been necrotic, so we can only amputate it. Later we checked your nervous system and found that the neurons were unexpectedly active and had the right meaning. You have the conditions for body implantation, so I installed this robotic arm on you."
"Compared with bionic prosthetics, this kind of manipulator may be less convenient in life, but it is still quite convenient to carry heavy objects and operate equipment. We do not have the conditions to make bionic prostheses here. If you expect that It feels exactly the same as before. You can pay attention to the company's caravan... If you are lucky, you should be able to buy it."
Bangfeng couldn't understand what the doctor was talking about. He just thought this new arm was so awesome that he wanted to go and show off to his friends right now——
Oh no, I should say good news!
This wave is more than just a loss.
It’s such a huge profit!
After the doctor finished speaking, Kuangfeng nodded sincerely.
"Thank you!"
A smile appeared on the doctor's face. Although he did not understand what he said, he could still distinguish the patient's expression.
"You're welcome, this is what we should do!"
……
Taking the elevator down from the Pioneer and returning to the action camp, Guangfeng happened to hear the conversations of the surrounding players.
"There seems to be one more collection task... to carry stones to the construction site in the northern city. What are you doing? Are you going to burn cement again?"
"I don't know, never mind! Anyway, the mission benefits are quite high, just go and take a look and you will know."
After this battle, there seemed to be a wave of soft updates in the game. Although the bugs in the expansion pack were still unresolved, there were a lot of new tasks, so much so that there was a labor shortage in the action camp.
In addition to the tasks of recycling garbage, Old Luca also issued some tasks of collecting stone and driving trucks.
The trucks previously seized from the legion were transferred to two trucks at the operation camp. The ally's fortress seems to have made a new move - a modular production tool has been deployed next to the operation camp.
Judging from the materials piled nearby, that module seems to produce cement?
It’s just that Fengfeng still doesn’t quite understand what these people want cement for. Are they planning to build a permanent fortification here?
At this time, Fang Chang came over and was about to say hello when he glanced at his arm.
"What the hell?! What's wrong with your arm?"
A sultry smile appeared on that sullen face.
"I don't know, it was like this as soon as I woke up."
"Let's go!" Fang Chang reached out to pull him excitedly.
"What are you doing?"
"It seems that a group of mutated snow wolves appeared over the battlefield in Yumu District. I don't know where they came from. In short, it affected our recovery of clone corpses." Fang Chang stuffed a bag of javelins into Guangfeng's hand. , said with a smile, "I just happened to be tasked with driving away mutant snow wolves, why don't you try it too?"
Bangfeng happened to have this plan, and wanted to test the power of this mechanical arm. He weighed the feather-light javelin bag in his hand and nodded.
"Okay...when shall we set off?"
"Now! The truck going to Yumu District is about to leave. Let's go there quickly. Ten kilometers is not close!"
The engineers and logistics department employees standing next to the cement production workshop looked up at the backs of the two players.
"...are they going hunting?"
"It seems so."
"I always feel that the man carrying the javelin looks a bit familiar."
"I remember him, the one who was rescued from the battlefield yesterday. One of his arms was blown off, and only half-draped sleeves were left on his shoulders! Section Chief Li personally arranged the prosthetic implant surgery for him, and now I guess I woke up..."
As they spoke, expressions of admiration appeared on their faces.
As soon as I got off the operating table, I took my weapon and went out hunting.
This is too awesome!
