This Game Is Too Realistic Chapter 256: Expedition to Honghe Town!
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of this game is too real!
Nine o'clock in the morning.
The caravan set off on time.
Black smoke spewed out from the steep exhaust pipes, and ten tracked trucks loaded with munitions started in unison, heading towards the eastern wasteland.
According to the plan, after leaving the long-term farm, the caravan will travel eastward along the inter-provincial highway, passing through the abandoned highway town and battery factory, and then change to the southeast direction, drawing a V-shaped line on the map. Break the line and bypass the area controlled by the Bone Chewing Tribe. After arriving at the Garbage City area, head north to Honghe Town.
Because the truck is full of goods, people can only walk next to the truck.
But there is actually no difference.
Even if there is room in the car, no one wants to sit there.
After getting off the inter-provincial highway and heading east, you can't find a complete road at all. Even if the track's off-road performance is good, it can't stand up to the unevenness of the road itself.
In addition, the trucks were all carrying munitions. The drivers did not dare to drive too fast and crawled on the ground in low gear.
Even if these shells are safe under normal circumstances, who can guarantee that every bump will be normal?
If you don’t want to cause big problems, you can only be careful.
Apart from the bumps on the road, the biggest threat is the birds, beasts, insects and snakes lurking in the forests and mire.
Whether it is a burly monster or a multi-legged beast that runs fast on the ground, it can pose a substantial threat to the caravan guards who mainly use light weapons.
In addition to these "dangerous species", there are also flies as big as a basin and mosquitoes with long arms. These mutated creatures that seem to have little fighting power should not be taken lightly.
Some red-headed and green-headed flies have even evolved the ability to attack from a distance - they can spray white eggs as thick as a thumb. This kind of insect eggs usually carry a large number of germs. Although the direct damage is not high, if it happens to hit a wound, the wound may become inflamed or maggots may develop in the wound. If not treated in time, it is easy to lose your life.
Only God knows how many dangers are hidden in this wasteland.
"...After passing the snowfield in front, there is an uninhabited wilderness." Walking beside the convoy, the mole picked up the telescope and glanced toward the southeast. "There was probably a small building before there. Town, but the houses there have basically turned into concrete waste, leaving only a half-collapsed opera house... We encountered a death claw there before, and there are bones on the ground that are not sure whether they are predators or mercenaries."
The snow has almost melted, leaving only a thin layer on the ground.
Many places have simply turned into puddles, and a few green shoots have emerged from the mud.
Life on this planet is far more tenacious than people imagine.
"Will we meet?" Elf King Fugui said eagerly.
"How could we encounter this? We are going to deliver goods, not hunting." Mole put down the telescope, "We will avoid that place in a while, unless the beast comes looking for it actively, but this possibility is very high Small."
The Death Claw's IQ is much stronger than that of monsters, and its intuition of danger is much stronger than that of ordinary aliens.
A deathclaw rarely picks out a large group of enemies unless it is trespassing on its territory.
There is a high probability that both sides will be in peace.
Within a kilometer radius around the Death Claw lair, there is a high probability that you will not encounter particularly dangerous carnivorous alien species.
After hearing that they would not meet, several players nearby had expressions of regret on their faces.
Irena: "Speaking of which, I haven't eaten Death Claw meat yet... Of course, it's not that I want to eat it, I'm just curious about what it tastes like."
The big-eyed debtor smiled: "Shi Chui, the wasteland gourmet, is indeed Lao Na!"
Irena: "Get out of here."
The debtor looked at the sky with big eyes, looked at the moving clouds in the sky, and sighed.
"One hundred kilometers...how long does it take to walk."
Is there no such thing as a portal?
Or you can rush on your way with just one click.
Mole opened the VM, looked at the map, thought for a while and said.
"If we didn't have to take a detour, we might have arrived in two or three days. After this detour, it would probably take us five or six days."
The boy at the construction site protested with Brick: "Why don't we just kill him? I think it's totally fine!"
Big Eyes of Debt: "+1, they are just a group of defeated generals."
Looking at the two people who were confident, they could not help but complain.
"Okay, we are here to deliver goods, not to give away people's heads."
There is not just one thousand-man team on the opposite side, but three in total. The total number of people is probably five or six thousand. Even if there were five to six thousand chickens standing in a row, it would still take a while to kill them, not to mention five to six thousand bandits with guns.
These marauders came all the way from the central part of the River Valley Province. There may not be awakened captains of ten, not to mention the commanders of the legions. If these people don't reveal their flaws, the survivors of Red River Town will want to defend their territory. , I’m afraid it’s still a bit difficult.
A hint of excitement flashed in Bian Shuishui's eyes.
A close battle?
Not bad.
It's on fire!
The big-eyed debtor and the construction site boy looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became a little subtle.
"Are you panicking?"
"I wasn't panicking at first, but now I am a little bit."
"By the way, if we die and go back... wouldn't this journey be in vain."
"Shit! Is it too late to change teams now?"
"How about... you go ask the moles if they want anyone else?"
Edge stroke: "???"
……
It was just after noon.
Less than four hours after the caravan set off for Red River Town, the caravan returning from Boulder City arrived at the south gate of the outpost.
I happened to come back from a mission and looked at Kuangfeng and Yeshi with bandages on their bodies, quitting smoking with a surprised expression on their faces.
"Let me go, why did you two fail?"
Lao Bai smiled and said: "When I came back, I was targeted by plunderers. There were probably about twenty people, but it wasn't a big problem."
Although Lao Bai said it was not a big problem, looking at the expressions on the faces of several other NPCs in the caravan, it was obvious that they were not as relaxed as he said.
The team leader named Qian Lai still has a frightened expression on his face.
The guard next to him was even more decorated. He remembered that before setting off, he had a bandage on his arm, and now the other arm was also wrapped.
Quiting with a strange expression on his face: "Holy crap, those predators can still ambush you?"
Fang Chang said.
"It can't be considered an ambush. We discovered them a long time ago, and they obviously knew it and followed us all the way. We couldn't move fast with the goods and couldn't get rid of them. They may not be sure of our strength. , and didn’t dare to get too close. He never made a move, so he just followed behind to look for opportunities.”
"When we got to the edge of the Fourth Ring Road, I probably felt that if I didn't take action, I would have no chance, so I finally couldn't help but take action, and then we had a real fight in the alley."
Excited to quit smoking.
"Exciting! How many have you killed?"
"Half of it, they ran away in the middle of the fight," Lao Bai smiled and raised his chin, pointing to the back of the team, "Well, we caught two more."
Next to a two-headed cow, two depressed-looking men wearing animal skins had their hands tied with chains, hanging on the two-headed cow.
On another cow not far away, there was seized equipment hanging on it. Apart from a few iron-tube rifles that even the newbies didn't use, there were actually two assault rifles and a grenade launcher inside.
Two caravan guards looked on, monitoring their actions.
Ye Shi, who had a bandage on his shoulder, cursed.
"MMP, I suspect there are predators in the slums! As soon as I went out, the feeling came!"
Bangfeng said calmly.
"There is no doubt that if I were a person in a slum and watched a group of fat and oily businessmen passing by me every day, I would definitely find a way to get some oil and water from them."
Unlike Ye Shi, he was shot in the thigh, but the bullet used by the opponent was a steel-core bullet, which passed directly through his leg, so it was not a big problem.
Fang Chang nodded in agreement with what the two teammates said.
"Indeed, those looters probably came out of the slums. I can even make a bold guess that they might have already targeted us when we entered."
Where did the looters in Qingquan City come from?
It can't be that it jumped out of the cracks in the rocks.
As the largest survivor settlement in the entire southern part of the River Valley Province, Boulder City absorbs people from the entire province and even neighboring provinces.
It is impossible for so many people to flock to the city. There are not many places in the city to accommodate so many people, and there are not that many jobs.
The vast majority of people can only build a shed outside the city and do some work that city people are unwilling to do. Over time, slums are formed.
The huge slums are a breeding ground for chaos and crime. They are not only rich in mercenaries, cannon fodder and scavengers, but also rich in looters.
I heard that gangs in the slums even have a business of helping looters sell stolen goods. You can always buy some things that are not common in the city on the black market there. Helping to keep an eye on some fat sheep that seem easy to bully is naturally not a problem for those people.
Why doesn’t Boulder City care?
This question has a broad perspective, but it is somewhat otherworldly.
You can also ask the same question from the perspective of Boulder City——
Why bother?
"Anyway, we finally arrived safely," Lao Bai looked at Ye Shi, "You and Bang Feng should go back to the shelter to save your files first. His injury is fine, but your injury still needs to go to the infirmary for treatment. Minor surgery."
The culture chamber has the effect of accelerating recovery. Generally, minor wounds, even those of the intelligence type, will heal after lying down for a few hours, which is just the time it takes to save a file.
As for some serious injuries that are not disabling, it usually only takes a day or two. If it exceeds three days, most players will choose to save a file first and then make up for themselves.
Just being shot once is nothing, just take out the bullet.
At first, Lao Bai planned to use alcohol to disinfect Ye Shi and imitate those NPCs to help him take out the bullet.
But unfortunately, the bullet was stuck in the subscapular joint.
Lao Bai took the tweezers and pulled it, but he couldn't get it off, and he didn't dare to use too much force, which turned a small problem into a big one, so he wrapped it with a bandage.
On the other hand, the ignorant NPCs were made a fuss by the two men's behavior.
But it’s no wonder.
One was there holding tweezers and digging around at the wound, and the other was impatiently urging it to go faster. The key was that no anesthetic had been used yet.
Such cruel behavior is somewhat outrageous even if it is applied to an awakened person. Until now, several caravan guards looked at the two of them with admiration in their eyes.
Ye Shi nodded.
"Okay, what about you and Fang Chang?"
Lao Bai said with a smile.
"We still have to deliver the things everyone ordered, and we have to go to the warehouse manager to submit a task later."
Thanks to the great sales of Teng Teng's products in Boulder City, their trip was not in vain this time, and they also made a huge profit.
After some discussion, they did not exchange the two thousand chips they earned into an exoskeleton. Instead, they bought a second-hand hydraulic breaker at the auction house.
This thing can be used to process coarse cement materials and can also be used to break concrete block waste. If you order at the factory, you will need at least 5,000 chips. If you can buy it with 2,000 chips, it is considered a steal.
Although it has a magnetically confined plasma cutting machine tool, it can produce some precision instruments, but the inert gas as a cutting fluid and the fusion battery for energy supply are not cheap after all, and some heavy equipment outposts are still scarce.
Converting the chips into commodities and transporting them back to sell to other players is a one-time deal, and at most you only make a small profit. But if you purchase production equipment and transport them back, it will be a steady stream of income!
Currently, the demand for building materials in the outpost has skyrocketed, and the answer to what is the version is obvious.
A few members of the Niu Ma team gathered together and immediately decided to add a cement production line based on the original brick production line, and at the same time produce recycled cement bricks made of concrete waste.
I heard that the cement factory in Boulder City uses concrete waste residue that can be seen everywhere in the wasteland. They have already mastered the technology of reusing construction waste.
Next time he goes to Boulder City, Lao Bai plans to look in the job market to see if he can find a clue and hire someone who knows cement aggregate recycling technology.
It is said that the office can now entrust recruitment. You can apply at Luca or the warehouse manager, and the salary can be settled in silver coins, which is very convenient.
In addition to the things they bought themselves, there are about two thousand chips that belong to other players. Some of the chips have been exchanged for things for them, and some have been left as balance.
For example, the share that belongs to the rich woman Teng Teng.
It includes a 220-kilogram sewing machine with its own electrical box and intelligent components, as well as 21 chips.
"Delivery to Tengteng Cottage?" Ye Shi's eyes lit up and he chuckled, "Take me one and I'll help too."
"Do Hammer a favor," Kuang Feng rolled his eyes, "look at how swollen your arms are."
Ye Shi: "Gan! It doesn't matter in the game, it doesn't hurt anyway!"
While talking, Teng Teng had already arrived at the south gate.
Seeing the caravan parked next to the unloading point, she walked forward and was about to ask if the goods she ordered had arrived, when she saw the bandages wrapped around Guangfeng and Yeshi, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Are you okay?"
Before Guangfeng opened his mouth, Ye Shi next to him shouted.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, not good at all, I was shot in the shoulder, it hurts so much."
Teng Teng: "Ah?! Then, go to the infirmary quickly..."
"Okay, stop pretending, sir." Lao Bai rolled his eyes at Ye Shi, looked at Teng Teng who was at a loss, took out 21 chips from his pocket and handed them over, "Yours The stuff is carried on the back of a two-headed ox. It weighs more than 200 kilograms. You can't move it. We will help you carry it in a while."
"Thank you! It was a big help!"
Teng Teng nodded gratefully, but was too embarrassed to take the chips. He glanced at Kuang Feng and Ye Shi next to him and whispered.
"I don't want the remaining chips...just treat them as medical expenses."
"Take it."
Lao Bai put it into her hand without any explanation and said with a hearty smile.
"Don't listen to those two guys, it doesn't hurt at all when you are injured in this game. Besides, it's us who should say thank you. If it weren't for your artwork, we wouldn't be able to afford that big guy at the back."
"But..."
"We have already received the promised remuneration. It will be whatever it is," Lao Bai shook his head and said, "We will not do such immoral things as charging extra."
After hearing what he said, Teng Teng stopped insisting, whispered thank you, and silently accepted the 21 chips.
However...
Lao Bai had to do all the acting alone, and Ye Shi was immediately unhappy.
"Gan! What do you mean it doesn't hurt at all! It also feels a little bit, okay?!"
Bangfeng added another sentence expressionlessly.
"I have an objection. Only Ye Shi was pretending to be in pain, and I didn't scream."
Lao Bai smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of his head.
"Uh, this...I didn't pay much attention to it, mainly because Ye Shi's acting skills were too exaggerated, and I am too upright to stand him bullying a little girl."
Ye Shi: "Get out! I think you just want to show off! Bah!"
Wind: "+1"
Lao Bai: "???"
Looking secretly at the noisy three people, Teng Teng's cheeks felt slightly hot.
I always feel...
They seem to have a very good relationship.
I got it, I got it!
Not noticing the unnatural expression on Teng Teng's face, Fang Chang saw that she had changed into a light leather armor and couldn't help but ask strangely.
"Are you planning to go out?"
Hearing the voice coming from the side, Teng Teng said "Ah" and came back from his thoughts. He blushed and nodded, and said shyly.
"Well, I plan to go to Boulder City to see it!"
"Task?"
"So be it, but the main reason is to inspect the market!" At this point, Teng Teng's eyes shone brightly and he continued excitedly, "The cultural characteristics and dressing style of Boulder City are different from those of any country in reality. They are all different. Some things cannot be seen just from the photos. I plan to see them with my own eyes!"
Fang Chang nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, the content that can be written in the guide is limited after all. No matter how many guides you read, it is better to play it yourself... But, how do you plan to get there?"
The road to Boulder City is not easy.
On the way back, in addition to the predators, they were also targeted by a group of burrowing beasts hiding in the sewers.
Although it won't turn over, it is still a tough battle.
Before Teng Teng could answer, a flexible figure sprang out from behind her.
"The mercenary tail is here!"
Sisi, who was wearing a body armor and a helmet, also walked over from the side and pushed up the helmet that covered his eyes.
"Oh! There's Sis!"
Looking at the energetic two people, Fang Chang was stunned for a moment.
"You are also going to inspect the market?"
"That's right! Tails wants to be a mercenary!"
At this point, Taiwei sighed arrogantly, shook his head and said, "Damn it, it's all because the spring water is useless, all my luck was spent on the lottery! I'm so angry that I didn't go to Chenghonghe Town!"
Sisi glanced at her.
"But thinking about it from another perspective, could it be because we lowered the team's score?"
Tail immediately retorted.
"How is that possible! Tails is also an awakened one, isn't he?"
The two of them woke up half a month ago.
After all, it has been some time since I joined the game, my development speed is quite satisfactory, my strength is not weak, and I can be considered a T2 player if I work hard.
But...
Fang Chang looked at the girl with cat ears next to him.
Is this a newcomer?
"You too?"
The cat ears on the top of the head swayed slightly, and Aoao Sesame Paste, who was staring at the ears, nodded sheepishly.
"I, I haven't awakened yet... I'm still not close."
"I'm not asking this. Awakening or not is not actually the key. What I mean is, do you plan to go with them?" Fang Chang reminded kindly, "The road to Boulder City is still quite dangerous. Look over there, those two idiots are already in their teens, and they still hurt themselves."
Aoao Sesame Paste nodded vigorously.
"It doesn't matter! I, I am also a person who has been on the battlefield!"
Although I just went offline to report to everyone, it also played a key role!
At least, she is confident and will not panic.
Seeing the determination in his eyes, Fang Chang smiled, nodded, and said approvingly.
"Yes! Not bad, very energetic! Come on, girl!"
It's a game.
Just be happy, there is no need to think too much.
Even if you die, it will only be after three days of being on the forum OB. It is not a big problem. Everyone has come from the stage of being a newcomer.
Besides, the manager didn’t say that newcomers couldn’t complete tasks, right?
As long as they have the determination, anyone can contribute to the great cause of the Awami League’s revival.
"Wait a minute, Teng Teng, is it really okay for you to bring only a few bodyguards?" Ye Shi said nervously, "How about I go too? I can be an eye-catcher at least."
Teng Teng waved his hands and declined.
"No, no, no need to go to such trouble. You should take good care of your injuries. We have people with sensory abilities in our team."
Ye Shi was just about to ask who it was when the sharp voice with a hint of dullness came from the side along with the sonorous and powerful sound of steel clashing.
"That's right!!"
Everyone looked there and saw an "iron can" covered with steel plates, striding over here with meteoric strides.
"Hmph, the perception system is level 12, and the awakened Crow Crow is here! Looking at my equipment, who dares to say that I can only pick mushrooms! Huh?"
The four members of the Cow Horse Team looked confused. The caravan guards and guards not far away were also stunned by her exaggerated appearance.
This plate armor...
It’s more than three hundred kilograms at least, right?
Tail's eyes sparkle.
"Oh! So awesome! Si, we won!"
Sisi was stunned for a moment, silent for a while, and muttered something in a voice that only she could hear.
"...It will be troublesome to recycle VM."
Lao Bai swallowed and asked cautiously.
"Is this...KV-1? Or Miner Type I?"
You can’t tell it from the outside at all!
"KV-1!" Crow Crow said proudly, holding up his angular breastplate, "It cost me a lot of silver coins to build this plate armor! How about it, isn't it awesome?"
Lao Bai's expression was a little subtle and he was too embarrassed to speak.
Fang Chang coughed dryly and said.
"My blind guess is that it's a mosquito. Only that stupid guy would do this. Didn't he remind you... of the battery life issue?"
Crow Crow blinked his eyes.
"Battery life? What is that."
Fang Chang: "..."
Lao Bai: "..."
Wind: "..."
Ye Shi said anxiously.
"Battery! Have you ever driven a new energy vehicle? The original battery life of the naked KV-1 exoskeleton is only about one day, but you directly load 300 kilograms! Can your battery last until the afternoon?"
One thing to say, this turtle shell is simply worse than the one the manager used before!
Don’t these people play games without thinking of their own?
Learn a hammer from NPC!
"No problem! I'm fully charged!" Yaya said confidently, "It's only twenty kilometers, this distance is still manageable!"
"I think you should not be too optimistic about the twenty kilometers," Fang Chang said euphemistically. "Twenty kilometers is a straight-line distance, and the actual distance cannot be calculated at all."
Lao Bai nodded and agreed with this sentence.
"Indeed, you can't fly there. Anyway, I feel that the distance from here to Boulder City is no less than that to Yuanxi Town. You can feel it for yourself."
"Huh?!" Crow Crow was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face became less confident, and he whispered, "Is it so far?"
"Well," Lao Bai nodded silently, "That's why I don't even wear an exoskeleton."
Crow Crow was stunned for a moment and said anxiously.
"Then...what should I do?"
Old Bai: "If you are a strength type, it is not a problem to walk directly wearing 300 kilograms of heavy armor. After all, most of the weight is on the exoskeleton. When you need mobility, just turn on the power. If It's from other departments... I don't know, but I don't recommend it anyway."
Tail looked at her: "Why don't you put it on Si? She is a physique type!"
Sisi glanced at her sideways.
"I don't wear that kind of thing."
It's too late to temporarily change the equipment now.
After the pot camel machine is unloaded, the caravan at the door will set off again in two hours at the latest.
But...
Crow Crow did not give up.
Everyone also agreed that boss Xia should be able to rescue him.
Watching the group of people walking towards the base, Ye Shi couldn't help but look at Lao Bai.
"Can they do it?"
Lao Bai was silent for a while and shrugged.
"I don't know."
Ye Shi said hesitantly.
"How about... I'd better follow you?"
Bangfeng glanced at him sideways.
"You are not my father, why do you care so much."
"But——"
Fang Chang patted Ye Shi on the shoulder.
"Don't worry too much, there are three awakened people, it's not a big problem."
It doesn’t matter if the problem is big.
Only three days.
When this hand touched the bandage on his shoulder, Ye Shi's whole body trembled.
"Gan! Don't touch me so much, my arms are almost swollen!"
Lao Bai rolled his eyes.
"Then why don't you go have the surgery soon."
"If you keep dragging it on until your arm becomes useless, I will have to patch you up by then!"
