This Game Is Too Realistic Chapter 257: Encounter on the Fifth Ring Road
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of this game is too real!
The entrance to Boulder City.
The man wearing full-body plate armor stood like a sculpture. His temperament was incompatible with his surroundings, attracting frequent glances from the passing mercenaries and merchants.
Not only because of his height of two and a half meters, but also because of the armor he wears from the top of his head to his toes, with almost no gaps left. Even the helmet made of welded steel plates only had a few small holes that could slip through the net.
This guy...
Don’t you even use your eyes to see the road?
Two mercenaries lined up at the city gate, bragging about nothing.
"I bet that armor can't hold me back."
"Shh, keep your voice down, that guy might be an awakener."
"What about the awakened ones? More awakened ones died in my hands than the death claws!" The mercenary did not panic at all. The fifty meters of land at the city gate was also within the jurisdiction of the militia group.
Stop talking about the awakened ones.
So what if it’s a tank from the Bone Chewing Tribe?
The towed artillery on the huge wall is enough to crush any armor.
The companion next to him obviously didn't believe what he said and sneered.
“Stop bragging, I don’t know who peed their pants when they heard Deathclaw’s cry.”
"Say it again!"
Ignoring the comments of the people around him, the man in armor stayed at the door for a while, then walked to the Far Wind Hotel across the street.
The waiter standing at the door of the hotel was not too surprised by this man wearing heavy armor. Among the many guests he had received, this attire could only be considered conservative at best, not even weird.
Don't say he was wearing something, even if he was wearing nothing, he wouldn't say a word.
"Welcome, sir, would you like a room?"
A dull sound came from the armor.
"Is this the northern suburbs?"
"Northern suburbs?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment and answered subconsciously.
"This is Boulder City, not that kind of country place."
The man continued to ask.
"Northern suburbs, how to get there."
Facing the scarlet color in the gap in his helmet, the waiter felt his heartbeat freeze for half a beat. He wanted to say something perfunctory, but his Adam's apple moved and he said.
"Go straight up the elevated road along the road in front, then go east, see a crooked building, and then keep going north..."
The man nodded, without saying a word of thanks, and dragged his bulky body towards the elevated direction.
The man didn't seem worried that the person he was asking for directions would lie to him.
The waiter standing at the door of the hotel stared at the man's back and muttered something in a low voice.
"What the hell..."
"Why do those eyes look like those of a gnawer?"
……
【The fat sheep is on its way. 】
Edge of the Fourth Ring Road.
In an abandoned shop, a man wearing an animal skin coat sat in front of an extinguished brazier, unfolding a crumpled note in his hand.
This note has been in his hand for some time.
His name is Wu Chou, a mercenary, and an awakened one.
In Boulder City, awakening is not a particularly rare thing, but there are very few people who are clearly awakened but still living like him. Many business groups and caravans are very happy to recruit awakened people into their ranks, and they spend a lot of money to train them and give them the best weapons and equipment.
In the wasteland, only the fist is the greatest protection. Powerful force can not only deter scoundrels, but also effectively reduce risks and insurance premiums. Businessmen in Boulder City are particularly sensitive to these two things.
However, Wu Qiu is different from them.
Firstly, he hates living a life restricted by others, and secondly, his reputation is indeed not very good.
Since two of his employers died at his hands, and the middlemen who introduced him to the job lost a lot of money, few people were willing to introduce him to jobs that were honest and profitable.
But...
Who cares?
At least he is quite satisfied with his living situation.
As a guard for those cunning profiteers, the maximum reward per day is 10 chips, but if the weak and arrogant poor guy is robbed, this number may be increased a hundred times or even a thousand times.
Reputation?
It's worse than paper for wiping your butt.
However, Wu Chou does not consider himself a predator, although he knows a lot of predators and occasionally takes jobs from them.
Such as now.
A week ago, a batch of spiritual leaves appeared out of nowhere in Boulder City, and a bottle of 10-chip diluent made many people rich.
Someone was eyeing this piece of fat and gave him a price.
Grab two blue jackets from the northern suburbs, and don't worry about anything else. In addition to the goods they transported to the northern suburbs, they also received an additional 5,000 chips.
Wu Qiu agreed without thinking.
In his opinion, these 5,000 chips are no different from picking up for free.
Bribing the gangs in the slums to help with the surveillance, he then hired about twenty cannon fodder from the slums, gave them weapons, taught them how to shoot, and promised them 50 chips as a reward. It's to catch at least two alive.
50 chips.
For people in the city, it is less than a month's salary, but for those survivors who live on scraps and scavenge, these one hundred chips are enough for them to easily live for half a year.
Of course, a team cannot only have cannon fodder.
To be sure, he sent four of his subordinates to help.
According to the plan, they will take action when those people are close to the edge of the Fifth Ring Road. If nothing else happens, the results should have been obtained by now.
At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door.
Putting away the note in his hand, Wu Qiu raised his eyes and looked at his subordinates standing at the door.
"Is there any news?"
Wu Chou is ready to receive his reward.
However, what he didn't expect was that the subordinate standing at the door lowered his head and said nothing.
The heavy expression on his face made Wu Qiu vaguely guess something, and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
"Run away?"
Sweat dripped from the man's forehead.
Feeling the viper-like gaze, he said bravely.
"Yes..."
Wu Qiu suddenly stood up from his chair.
I saw him striding to the door, grabbing the man's collar, pressing him against the door frame, and staring into his eyes.
"The other party only has eight people. You brought more than 20 people to bet on them, but you told me... let them escape?"
Feeling the murderous gaze, the man's face was full of horror and he explained quickly.
"This, this can't be entirely blamed on me. There are indeed only eight of them, but four of them are awakened. Those cannon fodder are of no use at all. I emphasized to them countless times, divided into two teams, and flanked them from the side. But all they knew was that they rushed forward in one fell swoop, and when they were hurt, they retreated in droves..."
He didn't even dare to say that in less than fifteen minutes, half of them were killed by the opponent, and apart from minor injuries, there was almost nothing wrong with the opponent.
So much so that he and the other three brothers did not dare to go...
"What a waste!"
You really can’t count on these guys!
Throwing away the collar in his hand, Wu Qiu cursed, turned around and walked back, picking up the Drone X-2 assault rifle leaning against the leg of the chair.
"Call all the brothers."
"I will personally lead the team this time!"
He still doesn’t believe it.
It’s just a group of blue coats, what tricks can they play!
Wu Qiu is only worried about one thing now. After making a deal, those blue coats went back to hide in the hole.
If this is the case, who knows how long he will have to wait to complete the deal.
……
The south entrance of Linghu Wetland Park.
Five people and one bear are escorting the caravan starting from the outpost, heading deep into Qingquan City with high morale.
Although there were one more guard and one bear this time than last time, there was so much money in the caravan that my eyelids still couldn't help but twitch.
He did not doubt the fighting power of these blue coats, after all, he had seen it with his own eyes several times.
Whether it’s the one who shoots arrows, the tough guy who can use a machine gun as a rifle, or the “robot”, their combat capabilities are all top-notch.
However...
Those people were slightly injured in the last battle. This time, another group of people accompanied them to Boulder City.
I don’t mean to look down upon you at all.
He just felt like they were on an outing...
"Damn it! It's obviously a bear with a tail..."
"Okay, okay, don't be sad," Sisi patted his tail and said comfortingly, "I'll recycle the VM in a while and let you ride it, okay?"
"What the hell? Have you already agreed that I will give it to you for free?" Crow Crow, who was riding on the back of the big white bear, protested.
Roshan Big Momo: "Wait, wait a minute, why do I feel like I have become a mount?"
Sisi looked to one side with a subtle expression.
"I didn't say that."
Teng Teng, who was walking in the back row, said worriedly.
"Don't interrupt, Crow Crow, you are in the reconnaissance position, keep an eye on the front."
Speaking of which, ever since she got the qualification for closed beta testing, she has been playing this game as a business simulation game. Every day she is either running the Teng Teng hut or visiting the sisters' house of Qiucao Qiuye.
This is her first time in such a dangerous place.
Looking at the timid Teng Teng, Crow Crow riding on the back of the bear said proudly.
"Hmph, don't worry, the intuition of the perception system is passively triggered! I have tried it several times!"
Rourou: "Don't move around, I...I mean the bear's fur has been messed up by you."
"It's okay! Let me help you rua!"
Boss Xia had no other solution for the set of iron cans on Crow Crow. He could only help them make a leather saddle for the bear.
One thing to say is that Boss Xia is still very capable of doing things. The products he made through temporary DIY are much easier to use than the unscrupulous ones made by mosquitoes.
Crow Crow riding on Rourou is like a heroic female knight, and the 300 kilograms of plate armor is full of security.
Of course, the premise is not to speak.
The two caravan guards looked at each other and looked at the only normal guard at the same time.
Kaia swallowed.
"Are you sure they are capable of fighting?"
He already has paint on both arms, hoping this is not the last mission of his career.
Xu Shun nodded and said seriously.
"Of course! I've seen it."
Qian Lai coughed lightly.
"To be honest, I have an ominous feeling...the group of people we met before were obviously not like ordinary predators."
Wang Zhong, who had been silent, nodded.
"Indeed, it's like being called cannon fodder to make up the numbers."
Xu Shun frowned and said doubtfully.
"Doesn't that just mean that they are all a bunch of rabble?"
Qian Lai shook his head.
"The rabble will not take the initiative to open fire on us. They are not professional looters, they are just a group of temporary workers. It is obvious that someone organized them."
It may be a little difficult to understand for people who have never been to Boulder City, but for them living there, this kind of thing can be said to be commonplace.
Not only militias and mercenary groups recruit soldiers in the slums, but also raiders. And because gangs there are generally in the business of helping plunderers sell stolen goods, it is easy for plunderers to find a group of temporary workers there to rob, as long as they pay a gun in advance.
As long as you give them enough, you can even not issue weapons. Many scavengers can make iron pipe weapons themselves. This is just like building a shack, it is almost a necessary survival skill for them.
According to Qian Lai's own experience, the attack was more like a test.
The other side was not confident enough, so they decided to mobilize some cannon fodder to try their skills. It's hard to say how the other party will evaluate their strength, and whether they will give up the idea of taking action against them.
He and his boss suggested that it would be better to rest for a few days before setting off.
But Naihe's boss was eager to exchange the spirit leaves for chips. Not only did his shipments double this time, but he was also given a purchase list worth 100,000 chips.
The Guotou Machine can no longer satisfy the appetite of the Lord of the Northern Suburbs. The Lord is obsessed with acquiring second-hand machines from Boulder City, and wants to get some of them back no matter what they are.
"You can only be more careful."
Looking at the cemetery-like city ahead, Qian Lai whispered.
I hope nothing will happen...
……
The city full of concrete ruins is like a maze. There is more than one road from the northern suburbs to Boulder City. The experienced merchants will usually memorize more than ten roads, and choose based on all factors such as weather, temperature, intuition, etc. Analyze which path to take this time.
For hunters in the maze, it is not an easy task to catch rabbits that crawl into the ruins.
But there are always more solutions than difficulties.
Most predators will set up an observation point high up, monitor one or two blocks that they can overlook, and then predict which route they will choose based on the direction of movement of their prey.
Located on a high-rise building within the Fifth Ring Road, a mercenary wearing a gray coat was lying next to the damaged wall, looking at the street not far away with a telescope in his hand.
His name is Sha Chi, one of Wu Qiu's most capable generals, and he mainly serves as a sniper and reconnaissance in the team.
When he saw the team appearing in the camera, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said excitedly.
"Boss, they're setting off!"
After the brief electric sound, Wu Qiu's incredible voice came from the intercom.
"Are you sure?"
In the morning, those people had just crossed the edge of the Fifth Ring Road. It had not even been a day, and they immediately set foot on the road to Boulder City.
Aren’t these people going to take a day off?
Shaqi said immediately.
"I'm sure... that direction can only come from the Wetland Park! There are nine people in total. In addition to the two-headed cow carrying the goods, there is also a white bear, which should be their pet. They We are heading to 1101 Street, probably intending to pass through the commercial complex there."
"This group is different from the ones we met before. The four awakened ones are not in the team!"
Hearing this, Wu Qiu's eyes flashed with excitement.
The commercial complex on Street 1101, that half-collapsed shopping mall, is a good place to rob homes, especially since the four awakened ones are not in the team, which is great news for him.
The only pity is that time was too short. They did not expect these people to leave from there, and they had no time to ambush them in advance.
But it’s not a big problem!
The number of people on my side is twice as many as those people!
Wu Qiu made a prompt decision.
"Go around to their west side and support us on the roof! Pay attention to my gunfire!"
"Received!"
Shaqia's face was filled with excitement.
Putting down the walkie-talkie in his hand, he was about to put away the binoculars and pick up the sniper rifle on the ground. However, at this moment, he suddenly saw the armor riding on the bear, looking straight towards him.
The action frightened him so much that he almost dropped the telescope from his hands and quickly hid behind a nearby bunker.
Coincidence?
Not like...
That action is too obvious.
Realizing something, Shaqia's expression changed slightly.
The one riding on the back of the bear is probably the awakened one!
……
"Why do I feel like something is looking at me?" Looking at the tall buildings behind him, Crow Crow, who was dressed in an iron can, frowned.
"Where?"
Tail quickly raised the telescope hanging around his neck and looked in the direction of Crow Crow's sight, but he saw nothing except layers of ruins.
There are too many buildings there.
There may be eyes hidden in every window.
As the caravan NPC said, it’s okay if you are alone, but if you are a team, there is no secret at all when entering here.
"The level 12 perception system is estimated to have 18 to 19 points of perception," Sisi, who was holding a submachine gun, moved the brim of his helmet and muttered, "Can't ignore it."
"Can't you determine the location?" Teng Teng looked at Crow Crow and asked.
Crow Crow said helplessly.
“My perception is just relatively high, it’s not like I’ve turned on a plug-in.”
It's a pity it's too far.
If she were closer, her talent would come in handy.
The group of people drove the two-headed ox forward.
There are more and more ruins and buildings around. The wreckage of cars and billboards are everywhere, as well as half of the buildings lying across the street.
There are shelters everywhere, and everyone's nerves gradually become tense.
There were less than 200 meters away from the ruins of the commercial complex. Looking at the half-collapsed ruins in the distance, Qian Lai, who was walking in the middle of the caravan, signaled everyone to stop and met Xu Shun, who was carrying a rifle beside him. We had a couple of conversations.
Xu Shun nodded seriously and walked in front of the players.
"After passing the ruins in front, 1.2 kilometers further west is where the camp will be. For safety reasons, we need to send someone to investigate in front. Uh, how about I go-"
"Leave the investigation to Tai Tai! Tai Tai is agility type!" Tai Tai volunteered and raised his hand, the safety of the sickle assault rifle in his hand had been turned on.
The sesame paste who was following him also took a step forward, clenched the PU-9 in his hand, and said nervously.
"I, I am also agility type, I can go with you!"
But at this moment, Crow Crow, who was riding on the back of the bear, suddenly spoke.
"Do I have to go through here?"
Xu Shun stared at the subtitles for a moment, then his expression immediately became serious.
"What did you find?"
Crow Crow nodded silently, staring intently at the ruins two hundred meters ahead, and whispered in a low voice.
"This distance is a bit fuzzy...but it should be correct."
"Someone is there——"
Before the words could be finished, a gunshot was suddenly heard from among the high-rise buildings in the distance.
When they heard the gunshot, everyone was shocked and immediately evacuated to a nearby bunker. However, they soon discovered that no one was injured at all, and even the bullet did not fall beside them.
"Another group?!"
"The gunfire came from the high-rise building due west of us!"
"Is there another group here?"
"Probably!"
"No matter which group they are, bring the cow in!" Qian Lai pushed Kaiya anxiously and urged, "Go quickly!"
That is worth hundreds of thousands of chips!
If he loses it, the boss will definitely kill him!
"Damn it!"
Kaia gritted her teeth.
Although his reason told him not to do this, he still bit the bullet and ran out with a low body.
"Hey, don't go, we're not sure yet whether the gunfire was aimed at us."
Si Si shouted at him, but the NPC obviously didn't understand what she was saying.
Tail, who was standing at the exit of the alley holding a rifle, suddenly sighed sentimentally.
"Maybe this is life."
Poor migrant workers.
This game always has a real twist in strange places.
"Don't worry about what it is, what should we do now?" Roshan Damomo said nervously, "Is there someone in the ruins in front of me?"
Crow Crow, who was riding on her back, nodded, and a heavy voice floated out from the armor.
"And there are quite a few of them! Wait, they are coming out of the ruins, and they seem to be coming towards us!"
Although it was very blurry, she could see that the figures were shaking!
Teng Teng raised his head nervously.
"Is it a predator?"
"Well, I think it doesn't matter in this case," Si Si pushed up the brim of his helmet and said analytically, "Even assuming they can prove their goodwill, we have to let them put down their weapons first. ."
"Don't be afraid, Tails is here!" Tails excitedly loaded the rifle in his hand and placed it next to the bunker, "Si, we're about to get in!"
Sisi used half of her energy and loaded her own submachine gun.
"Oh! We're about to get in! By the way, Awei, don't rush too fast for a while, we'll take a detour from the side... They probably want to surround us, we have to fight them out before that happens."
"Ok!"
Don’t let the cute newcomers behind you look down upon!
Just when Taiwei and Sisi were ready to engage the enemy, Kaia was driving the last cow into a side alley.
In the commercial complex directly across the street, a machine gun was suddenly placed on the window.
Without any time to react, flames spurted out from above the bipod, and dense bullets shot out, rushing across the ruins.
The two-headed cow was killed on the spot.
Caught off guard, the caravan guard driving the cattle was also shot in the thigh.
"Fuck!"
Kaia, who was shot in the leg, was so painful that he broke out in cold sweat. He immediately fell to the ground and clung to the back of the raised concrete debris on the street.
The bullet landed right in front of his bunker, throwing up dust one meter high. The flying stones fell on his face, frightening him to death, but he did not dare to move at all.
"Damn, I'm so stuck!"
"Help me quickly!"
"Stay down and don't move!"
Another caravan guard, Wang Zhong, made a prompt decision and pulled out a smoke bomb and threw it over.
Dense fog soon filled the streets.
However, the gunshots did not stop, and they still fired three shots at a time in the direction of Kaia, as if they were planning to nail him there.
Not daring to move casually, Kaiya pressed her ears firmly to the ground, her expression suddenly changed and she shouted.
"They are approaching us!"
"Orientation?"
"Where else can it be! The ruins in front! At least 10, no, maybe 20!"
Just when he shouted, the 20 mercenaries had divided into two teams and pressed towards the alley 200 meters away.
Wu Qiu, who personally led the team, had a look of anger on his face. The rifle he held in his hand was already loaded, and he cursed and spat.
"Damn, this stupid guy! I told him to wait for the sound of my gunshot! Why did he do it without permission!"
It took a lot of effort for him to get ahead of this group of people and get to the ruins of the commercial complex.
Obviously, the problem that can be solved by just putting a gun to the forehead has now become a head-to-head contest.
Very good.
There is at least one awakened person on the opposite side, and a bear with a steel plate on its chest?
Although he didn't consider those people his opponents, he hated adding extra variables to the plan.
However, at this moment, another gunshot was heard in the distance.
The sound of breaking through the air came from overhead, and the machine gun that was suppressing the street with burst fire instantly went out.
Wu Qiu was shocked and immediately understood what happened, and shouted loudly.
"Sniper!"
"Spread out and take cover, be careful of the building due west!"
……
"Two."
The twentieth floor of the ruins of a high-rise building.
Lying beside the floor-to-ceiling window without glass, Ye Shi took a deep breath, pulled the gun bolt with his bandaged right hand, and ejected the hot bullet casing from the gun chamber.
He seized this sniper rifle from the mercenaries of Boulder City and has been using it for some time.
The original sight has been replaced by a thermal imager.
This good thing was taken from the official website for 2,400 silver coins. It supports 6x zoom. All heat sources exposed outside the bunker are invisible to this thing.
Coupled with his perception ability, it is simply an artifact.
Without hesitation, seeing that the mercenaries had discovered him, Ye Shi immediately moved his gun and fired at the looters who were scattering into the ruins.
This time it hit the chest.
The man who fell to the ground did not die immediately, but instead wailed for help from his teammates.
Ye Shi quickly pulled the bolt of the gun, and instead of rushing to reload, he stared at the bunker beside him, preparing to wait and see.
However, he waited until the man died and no one came out to help him.
"Three..."
Ye Shi glanced at the VM thrown aside. Two green dots had dispersed from the alley, and the remaining four green dots were guarding the caravan, staying with the NPCs.
"It should be Tails and the others."
Those two are considered old players and must know what to do in this situation.
"It's so annoying...I can't hit you at all here."
Ye Shi muttered, picked up the sniper rifle and hung it on his back. He took out the submachine gun and held it in his hand. He stepped across the corridor filled with gnawed corpses, moved to the safe passage, and quickly went downstairs.
There is a Hellbreath parked downstairs.
Although the road conditions in the city are difficult for vehicles to pass, two-wheeled motorcycles are easier to use than four-wheeled vehicles.
The tractor-like "chunk" sound sounded.
Ye Shi quickly started the engine and followed the pre-planned route to the south side of the battlefield as quickly as possible.
There is a hundred-story office building here, which is a landmark that he and his teammates have explored before. Ye Shi even remembered that he found a lot of office supplies and printing paper there.
The Eaters below the 20th floor have basically been eliminated. Even if new alien species spread in the past two months, it will not cause a lot of trouble.
The sound of gunshots in the distance continued one after another.
Ye Shi vaguely heard the sound of Pu-9 firing. Within fifty meters of the fighting distance, the battle had obviously reached a fever pitch!
Axious, he turned off the engine of his motorcycle and threw it on the side of the road. He climbed up to the second floor along the half-collapsed concrete wall in two steps, then rushed into the safety passage and moved to the 20th floor. Workspace.
He used the **** of his rifle to smash open the floor-to-ceiling window. Ye Shi lay on the ground, set up his sniper rifle again, and aimed at the battlefield half a street away.
Adjusting his breathing rate, he was about to pull the trigger when suddenly a warning sign came up in his heart. He picked up the sniper rifle he had just set up and left the window.
Almost at the same time, a barrel came through the window and hit the ceiling not far from him, exploding into a ball of fire.
The heat wave of the explosion spread, and large concrete stones fell from the ceiling. Fortunately, Ye Shi escaped in time and was not injured.
"MMP!"
How did these dogs find me? !
Looking at the group of looters downstairs, five people separated and gathered around him.
Ye Shi hurriedly set up his sniper rifle again, secretly thinking that something was going to happen.
Less than 500 meters away, if I go downstairs at this time, I will definitely bump into them!
Ye Shi pulled the trigger hastily, but there were too many bunkers on the street. The predators who had discovered his position did not expose him too many flaws and easily dodged the shot.
Ye Shi hurriedly pulled the bolt of the gun, mumbling.
“Oh my god, I just bought the equipment and haven’t warmed it up yet, so that’s not the case!”
No, Brother Guang.
Five against one is a bit unethical.
Be merciful!
I don’t know if it was the planner A Guang heard his prayer, but when Ye Shi continued shooting in a hurry, something happened suddenly.
A figure covered with steel appeared in the center of the battlefield at some point.
The firepower of both warring parties was obviously interrupted. Both the caravan guards and the looters were confused by this guy.
Hiding behind the cover, Tails' eyes are bright.
"Si! That armor is so awesome!"
Much more powerful than Crow Crow’s!
Sisi’s face was solemn.
"...Awei, don't take it lightly, he may not be here to help us."
Ignoring the surrounding atmosphere, the man standing in the center of the battlefield glanced left and right and remained silent for a while.
Under the armor, a ghostly voice suddenly floated out.
"How to get to the northern suburbs."
