This Game Is Too Realistic Chapter 379: That airship should be quite valuable, right?
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of this game is too real!
Eighty kilometers east of Ruigu City.
The campground of the corporate expedition team.
The rolling muffled thunder floating in the distance caused the soldiers from the east coast to stop what they were doing and stop and look to the west.
"What is that sound?"
"Thunder?"
"Not like"
"Sounds like something exploded."
"It's strange. When I was in Dawn City, I specifically inquired with the caravans coming from the west, but I didn't hear that there was a war going on nearby."
The soldiers whispered.
In the center of the camp, at the entrance of the tent.
Standing next to captain Yun Song, logistics officer Heding looked slightly nervous. He often travels around and is extremely sensitive to danger.
He knew very well that the sound was definitely not thunder or anything.
"That was a nuclear bomb just now?"
Yun Song's brows wrinkled slightly.
"Not sure."
In fact, there is nothing terrible about nuclear bombs. They are just cost-effective weapons. There are many more powerful weapons in the wasteland.
What really concerned him was the power contained in that voice.
According to his experience, the explosion yield was at least ten tons.
Whether it was a nuclear weapon or not, it was powerful enough to make them wary.
However, the strange thing is that according to the information they investigated in Dawn City, there should be no other regional powers from Qingquan City eastward to Luoxia Province.
At most, there are only a few scattered small settlements of survivors.
Although the number of people is not small, they obviously do not have the ability to manufacture such weapons.
Hedin whispered.
"I suggest changing the direction of progress. Before entering Luoxia Province, it is better for us to try to avoid participating in regional conflicts"
Yunsong thought for a while and nodded.
"Yeah."
The northwest side of Ruigu City.
The camp directly below the Heart of Steel.
Rachel, who was sitting in the tent, looked as gloomy as the clouds outside the tent.
Especially when he heard that Vito, the most capable hunter in his account, died on the battlefield, and died in humiliation under the enemy's artillery, he clenched his fists angrily.
"These hiding bugs"
When those guys are caught, he vows to torture them with the most cruel punishment until they bleed the last drop of blood and breathe their last breath.
At this time, the door curtain opened.
The guard who walked into the tent gave a military salute, interrupting his thoughts.
"Sir, the officers from the staff are outside."
Hearing these words, Rachel's expression froze slightly, and after three to five seconds, she slowly spoke.
"Invite him in."
"Yes!"
Watching the guard turn and leave, Rachel, who had been pondering for a long time, sighed softly and slowly relaxed her tense shoulders.
The parachute was not found.
The half-dead corporate employee also escaped.
Not only that, but he also lost two marine squadrons and a reconnaissance team composed of three awakened ones.
At this time, the staff department sent someone over, and it was obvious what they planned to do.
The door curtain opened again.
An officer in a crisp uniform walked in from outside.
Rachel noticed that he had just met the man in front of him during the day.
However, what was different from what he saw during the day was that the expression and demeanor on this officer's face was obviously much more serious.
Knowing that the person in front of her was probably here to hold him to account, Rachel didn't speak and kept her mouth shut quietly, waiting for him to speak.
However, to Rachel's surprise, he did not wait to be demoted.
Instead, I heard an unexpected arrangement
"General McClung has appointed you as land combat commander. We will deploy more troops to the ground tomorrow morning."
"Until the deployment order is revoked, this force will be under your full command."
Hearing what the officer in front of him said, Rachel's eyes suddenly showed obvious surprise.
Seemingly seeing his surprise, the staff officer continued.
"According to the judgment of the staff department, the enterprise employees we are chasing are suspected to have merged with the enterprise's reinforcements. There are various signs that the unknown armed forces who ambushed our patrol tonight are from the enterprise!"
"The losses of the 29th and 31st Marines are not yours, it is our lack of regional intelligence that led to this accident."
"Captain McClun asks you to behave well, wash away this shame with the blood of your enemies, and avenge the brothers who died tonight!"
The surprised expression disappeared from her eyes, Rachel took a deep breath and said seriously.
"I will."
"Use your actions to prove that the captain is waiting for your news."
After saying this, the staff officer turned around and left the camp without stopping.
He stared straight at the tent door.
Rachel clenched her fists and slowly released them, her eyes flashing with fighting intent as she chewed the words over and over again.
It seemed like he was going to bite it into pieces and swallow it.
"I will!"
The boiling mountain fire burned all night and gradually extinguished until the night faded.
However, the Legion's anger did not subside. The destruction of the two marines put the Heart of Steel on the highest level of alert.
And the thunderous sound of the cannon also kept the survivors throughout Ruigu City sleepless all night.
Early morning.
The turmoil is far from over.
The Heart of Steel airship continues to deliver armaments to the ground, and the deployment scale has reached an entire thousand-man team, and the position fortifications under construction are being constructed according to the standards of three thousand-man teams.
A dozen Marine teams were sent to search the eastern suburbs, looking for the three girls with two bears and the mortar emplacement that had opened fire on their patrol last night.
According to the reports of the soldiers who escaped, they were attacked by at least a hundred-man team, equipped with highly mechanized exoskeletons.
Without a doubt.
That is reinforcement from the company!
But General McClung is not worried, so what if it is reinforcements from the enterprise?
Just a bunch of weak guys.
Just catch them all in one go!
At the same time, Marine Commander Rachel, under the instruction of the airship staff, began to send "armed lobbyists" to surrounding areas.
Using the residual power of last night's artillery fire, General McClung's will was conveyed to the nearby survivor settlements——
Or surrender.
Or perish!
On the other side, east of Ruigu City.
In a mountainous area about five kilometers away from the center of the explosion, more than 20 players from the Storm Corps were resting.
The sky is not completely bright at this moment, and there is a gray dim light in the distance.
Although some people suggested that you can camp farther away, Brother Quanshui said that places that seem dangerous are actually the safest.
After dawn, the legion will most likely send people to search eastward, but the focus of the search will most likely not be near the explosion area.
What's more, the terrain here is higher and the view is wider.
Even if there is a situation, it can be transferred in time.
After more than thirty hours of continuous forced march, they had a fight with the legion's patrol. Even if the people were strong enough to resist, the equipment they carried could not withstand it.
Most players' exoskeletons have run out of battery.
Fortunately, Tail's truck was equipped with a diesel generator.
The unloaded exoskeletons lined up next to the truck.
Kakarot took several strength players to the nearby forest to cut down trees, and several agility players helped everyone prepare food.
Routu took Teddy, who would no longer wake up, to a nearby mountain, intending to find a place to bury it out of reach of scavengers.
Tail and Sesame Paste also accompanied her.
Although Sisi wanted to follow, he was too injured and could only stay in the camp.
Finding a deserted corner, she used the medical tools in the car to perform a minor surgery on herself and removed the warhead stuck in her body.
Because the operation was not very skillful, blood was all over the floor, but fortunately after tinkering for a while, I finally gained something.
"Done!"
Looking at the deformed bullet clamped on the tweezers, Sisi let out a sigh of relief and threw it into the aluminum box, intending to keep it as a souvenir.
Although the recovery speed of physical players is much faster than that of ordinary people, it is not to the level of mutants where "wounds heal at a speed visible to the naked eye."
A simple bandage and suturing can help the wound heal faster. Si Si estimated that he would be able to fight side by side with his friends by this time tomorrow.
The wound was sutured smoothly, and she took out a new box of bandages and put them on. She admired her masterpiece with satisfaction, and then returned to the truck.
Breakfast won't be ready for a while, and Kakarot and his team have just returned with firewood for the stove and generator.
The other players sat in a circle, most of them yawning from exhaustion.
Only Brother Quan Shui, who was standing in the middle, was telling everyone about his battle plan with an energetic look on his face.
"Airships can store a large amount of supplies, but their supplies are not unlimited after all! With thousands of troops, not to mention how much food they have to show off every day, the **** they **** can fill a truck!"
I yelled the most: "Fuck, can you not do this before the meal?"
Commander Quan Shui said with a smile.
"Just an example!"
"The Heart of Steel has dropped its anchor chain. If they plan to stay on a monthly basis, they will definitely collect supplies on the spot and obtain supplies from the local area as much as possible - whether it is to pay dinars to buy them , or use force to force it."
"And this is an opportunity for us!"
Looking at the players with bright eyes, he continued.
"We need to distinguish between those who have been bribed by them and those who have been coerced by them, and then win over those who can!"
Sisi thought for a while and said.
"But how many survivors are there who dare to resist the Legion?"
Commander Fountain said with a smile.
"We don't need them to resist clearly, we can fight tough battles."
"We just need them to provide us with a little help within their ability!"
Even just tell them the location of the Legion patrol.
Even if it's just to remind them when the convoy to collect supplies will come.
There was a hint of surprise in Warfield Man's eyes.
"I understand, is it right to fight guerrillas?"
"Correct answer!"
Commander Quanshui nodded approvingly and continued.
"There is a high probability that the Legion members will contact nearby survivor settlements during the day, so we will go in the opposite direction with them and go at night!"
"After everyone has finished eating, we will log off and return to the status quo. We will continue to chat in the group about the specific combat plan."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Sisi aside and said with a smile.
"Good brother, can you please guard the body?"
Sisi smiled.
"It's a small matter, don't bother me. Awei and I will help take care of it."
She just lay down in the truck for a while, her fatigue level has dropped, and she is not very sleepy now. She will just wait for Tails and the others to come back later and sleep for a while.
Quanshui fisted and said with a smile.
"Yeah! Please then!"
Most of the players who arrived in Ruigu City with Brother Quanshui were full-time players.
Even if there are a few who are not full-time, they all have relatively free time. Otherwise, it would be impossible to perform long-distance operations for more than thirty hours in a row.
After a good meal, everyone agreed on a time to go online, then found a place to lie down out of the way and logged out of the game.
As for the equipment and game characters, Sisi helps take care of them.
Everyone in the White Bear Knights is originally a member of the Storm Troops, and they are all teammates who played together several versions ago. Naturally, there is no issue of trust or distrust.
After offline.
Commander Quanshui gathered all the members in the Storm Corps guild group and divided the more than 20 team members who arrived first with him into three groups.
Group A is mainly composed of agility and perception players, and is responsible for investigating the nearby terrain. Group B is mainly composed of players who can simply communicate with NPCs, and is responsible for collecting information about survivor settlements in the nearby area.
As for Group C, it is composed of the battlefield atmosphere group and several other players who like guns. They continue to move west and are responsible for searching and attacking the legion's patrols.
How many people are killed is not the key.
Mainly through frequent harassment, it strategically disrupts the enemy's line of sight, causing them to misjudge their own position and number of people.
As for the task of searching for the entrance to Shelter 79, Quan Shui planned to leave it to Tails and the others after it came online.
On the one hand, he felt that Taili seemed to be very interested in things like treasure hunting, and on the other hand, considering that they did not bring high-end equipment, high-frequency mobile combat would be more difficult.
In this game, wearing an exoskeleton and not wearing an exoskeleton are completely different ways of playing.
It has nothing to do with ability, it is purely a matter of suitability.
When the morning sun shines on the land of the River Valley Province, Boulder City, which is far away on the edge of the Third Ring Road in Qingquan City, is peaceful and peaceful at the moment.
No matter how powerful the 400mm main gun is, the shock wave will never reach here.
Unless——
Someone plans to add fuel to the fire.
"Exception!"
The newsboys running around the streets of Boulder City, carrying canvas bags, delivered the temporarily printed newspapers to pubs and grocery stores that cooperated with Survivor Daily, and also stuffed them into customers' windows, Door crack.
The temporarily printed newspaper only has one page.
The photos printed on the newspaper are a continuation of the headlines from the newspaper issue that just came out in the morning.
Huge craters were printed in the mountain col, and the devastating shock wave swept across the entire forest. The fiery red flames were like boiling mushroom clouds.
Under the photo, there is an intriguing line of text——
Heart of Steel’s 400mm main gun! Just six shots are enough to level the entire outer city!
This is of course an exaggerated metaphor.
However, after such a comparison, people who had no idea about the power suddenly realized how terrifying this thing was.
Gray Squirrel Clothing Store.
Seal, who was sitting behind the counter, tilted his chair, resting his hairy arms on his tall belly, holding a still warm newspaper in his hand.
The reason why he ordered the Survivor Daily was very simple. He mainly wanted to read the advertisements and learn about the latest fashion styles in Dawn City.
However, the occasional news published on it also interested him.
Although Mr. House's broadcast is stimulating, the guy's voice is like a spiritual leaf, which only has a refreshing effect and has no nutrition other than that.
The Survivor Daily is different. It contains a variety of news. In addition to what happened in Boulder City, it occasionally reports news from the outside world.
"Ruigu City, I seem to have heard of it somewhere."
Hearing Siel's low murmur, his old friend Robbo, who was selecting something in his store, replied casually.
"Of course you have heard that it is the southeast corner of the River Valley Province and the west gate of the southern corridor. Most of the caravans passing through Boulder City will pass there."
"Yes, that's right there!"
There was a hint of surprise in Sil's eyes, and he sat up straight in his chair, "It's really strange, the Legion actually went there. Shouldn't they be looking for trouble in the Great Rift Valley in the north?"
"Legion?!"
The index finger rubbing the "artwork" stopped. Robbo moved his eyes away from the legs of the mannequin, looked back at Schier who was sitting behind the counter, and couldn't help but ask.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What are the legions doing here?"
He runs Queen of the Night, the most famous bar in Boulder City. It is not only the famous gold-selling cave, but also an intelligence gathering and distribution center for good and bad people.
Not only the nobles in the inner city will come to him for fun, but the mercenaries who have made a fortune are also happy to contribute their chips to him.
Except for the White Shark at the Pirate Bay Bar, no one is better informed than him.
"Look at what happened this morning."
Seal handed the newspaper in his hand to his old friend along with the newspaper he had just delivered to the outside, "This photo is not fake after all, right?"
Taking the newspaper, Luo Bo glanced at it hastily, his eyes quickly widened into two chips.
"Heart of Steel?! Wait, I think I've heard of this guy!"
Siel looked at him strangely.
"Where did you hear that?"
With disbelief written all over his face, Luo Bo spoke quickly.
"The caravan from the west! Just two months ago! They said that the legion settled in the oasis where the sunset set, and there was a steel fortress floating above their heads. Damn it, I thought that The guy is bragging!"
The 400mm main gun that burns everything
This caliber can squeeze someone in!
Imagining that scene, Luo Bo couldn't help but shrink his neck.
He really couldn't think further about the sight of this big ship flying to his door.
"Don't worry too much, the city lord will definitely not let it fly to us." Seeing this guy's exaggerated reaction, Sil's expression was a little weird, but he still said comfortingly.
"It's hard to say that last year, I don't know if it was the legion or the enterprise, but they dropped a nuclear bomb in the northern Elm District. In the end, it was nothing." Luo Bo couldn't help but complain.
I hope someone can take care of this.
By the way, aren't there a group of nosy guys in the north?
Xizhou City is almost a hundred kilometers away from here, and Ruigu City may be a little further, but it’s not too far away.
Boulder City still has a huge wall after all. A large number of fixed weapons are installed on the huge wall, but those people have nothing and have planted a large field. They will do something after all, right?
Compared to the annoying legion, of course the country bumpkins are cuter.
Luo Bo couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness on his face.
Can they win?
Luo Bo is not alone in having similar concerns.
Almost the vast majority of Wastelanders who hold the Survivor Daily have almost the same idea as him.
Not everyone cares about the lives of those hillbillies in the northern suburbs.
But they would not be so naive as to think that the Heart of Steel's range was only a dozen kilometers away and just missed them.
At this moment, the city hall of Boulder City is very busy.
Du Long, the director of the city hall, has held three meetings in a row. Not only did he summon people from the bank, he also summoned the president of the Survivor Daily newspaper.
Although it cannot be said that it was a mess, at least it was a panic.
Different from those ordinary residents.
They are not only worried about the safety of the survivor settlement, but also worried about the 200 million chips they just lent!
What is the concept of 200 million?
There are probably more than half a million residents in the outer city of Boulder City. Excluding mercenaries and businessmen, the per capita income is about 100 chips.
In other words, it would take three or four months for all the workers in Boulder City to earn so much money even if they were beating screws until they were smoking!
Yes, the money is not in the hands of the alliance, but is placed in the custody account of Boulder City Bank. But the problem is that the alliance has already taken these chips and placed orders with their factories and caravans!
Almost every factory in Boulder City is busy with loans, recruitment, and production expansion, all for those 200 million chips.
The industrial fire is burning brightly, and there has never been such a grand occasion!
Whether it is Boulder City Bank or City Hall, they have already tasted a little bit of the sweetness, but they are unwilling to see the signs of "economic recovery" being snuffed out.
This kind of thing must not happen!
"That idiot Jaeger actually proposed terminating the loan. How could such a big thing be stopped at the drop of a hat! Fortunately, Mr. Minister is on my side."
After a long day of meetings, Malvern returned to the mansion exhausted, handing the coat to his wife while complaining nonstop.
He worries every day so that the poor people who owe him money can repay the money smoothly.
The lady who took the coat gave him a kiss and comforted him softly.
"You may need to rest for a few days."
"Honey, I want to, but there are a lot of troubles"
Malvin sighed and sat on the soft sofa.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed the newspaper on the coffee table, and his eyebrows that had relaxed a little suddenly knitted together again.
"Did our family also subscribe to Survivor Daily?"
Melvin reached out and rubbed the center of his brow. Now that he saw the newspaper, Malvern had a headache.
"I ordered it. I saw a lot of things I haven't seen before, such as nutritional ointments. I heard they are food for wastelanders." Alyssa blinked curiously and said after sitting next to her father. , "Can we buy some? I want to see what it's like."
"You won't be interested in that stuff. It's like fermented vomit, only slightly better than unpalatable bark." Malvern thought about a vivid metaphor.
Even he himself found it disgusting, which should dispel his daughter's curiosity.
Alyssa: "Bark?"
"Well, if you are too lazy to take out a single chip, you can only chew that thing. But the nutritional ointment is cheap enough. It usually only sells one kilogram. What am I talking about?" Melvin touched it The little daughter's head said dotingly, "You don't need to understand this."
One of his two sons moved to the inner city, and the other traveled to the east coast with a reliable caravan. The other two daughters have already married, and this is all they have left to care about.
The lady frowned.
"Don't bring that thing home."
"I know," Malvern said with an arm around his wife's shoulders, "I just want to educate our little daughter on some science."
"Some unnecessary knowledge," the lady stared at her husband with a slightly reproachful tone, "You dote on Alyssa too much. I have never approved of her ordering that kind of newspaper. Obviously there are so many in the study at home. Collect books, why should you read the vulgar words written by a group of wastelanders."
Melvin laughed dryly.
"I will persuade her."
In fact, he doesn’t really like Survivor Daily, mainly because he doesn’t think those “non-professionals” can write anything valuable.
Although his office had a subscription, he just asked his secretary to take a look at it for him.
But this time, the headlines in the Survivor Daily were beyond his expectation.
The Legion's airships have all arrived in the River Valley Province. If it weren't for the weirdo who came here from the next province to write an article, they would probably still be kept in the dark.
Just like the last time the Pioneer came here, one of the tactical nuclear bombs exploded, and their respected city lord belatedly sent someone over to take a look.
Alyssa stared into her father's eyes and suddenly spoke thoughtfully.
"Actually, you know, we cannot truly be isolated from the wasteland. The prosperous ideal city is enviable, but we are not them after all."
Malvin looked at his daughter in surprise, and was surprised to hear such words from her mouth.
"Where did you hear this sentence?"
"It's in the newspaper, but I think it makes sense."
Looking at his daughter looking up at him, Malvin thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, not only I know, but Dulong also knows, and even Yeager's uncle who doesn't seem very smart also knows, but there are many, many complicated reasons, and this problem has been around for a long time. ”
Alyssa blinked.
"Since it has been around for a long time, why not start changing it from now on?"
Rubbing his daughter's little head, Malvin smiled amusedly and said in a gentle tone.
"Because of limited abilities, each generation has its own job. All dad can do is to help you live a slightly better life. You don't have to sell your soul for tomorrow's lunch like those wastelanders. A fight over a bottle of watered-down beer."
He has no intention of breaking two centuries of tacit understanding.
The root of Boulder City's prosperity is the same as that of Ideal City. After all, they are following the path of an enterprise, but with some minor improvements.
They have a strong armed force, and like companies, they do not participate in the bad things in the wasteland. They only ensure that others do not come to make trouble in their homes.
The entire southern part of the River Valley Province and even the survivor settlements in the neighboring Jinchuan Province regard them as role models, whether they are slave owners or merchants.
It's like they're looking up at the utopia of the East Coast.
But now, trouble has finally come to the door.
The Legion's airship has flown to the doorstep, and those guys with swollen noses are as barbaric and rude as the rumors say, and they reveal their fangs unabashedly.
He has no doubt that those people will covet the prosperity of Boulder City.
Thinking of this, Malvin felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Even the richest man in the city could not convince the great city lord to send troops to do something for everyone's benefit.
After all, to put it bluntly, he is just a beneficiary of the rules.
And that adult is the one who sets the rules.
The man who had lived for who knows how many years was more cold, stubborn, and elusive than all the people he knew put together.
Melvin couldn't help but start to fantasize.
It would be great if there was some best-of-both-worlds solution that could block that trouble for them or drive away the airship.
At this moment, a best of both worlds, or crazy idea, suddenly popped up in his mind.
Since lending those blue coats a sum of money can save those factories that are on the verge of bankruptcy, why not lend them a sum of military expenses and encourage them to fight?
That airship
It should be quite valuable, right?
And with their good-natured personalities, after seeing the local survivors with sallow faces and skinny muscles, they would definitely not be able to leave them alone, and then they would have to build roads and houses for them.
"Ruigu City, the west exit of the southern corridor has greater potential than Xizhou City."
As he muttered softly, Malvin's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he suddenly stood up from the sofa with an excited look.
"Dad?" Alyssa tilted her head, not understanding what was wrong with him.
Malvin laughed and was so happy that he wanted to pick up his daughter and give her a kiss.
"My Alyssa, you are so right, we do need a little change"
"At least, you need to make some changes!"
