The dazzling white light penetrated through the gaps in his eyes, and Yi Hai, who was lying flat on the hospital bed, moved his eyebrows.
As his consciousness gradually recovered, the scorching pain suddenly surged into his throat, and he relapsed sideways.
vomit!Cough cough
He vomited a stomach full of sour water, and he was quickly pressed back by two people in white coats.
Thinking that he was caught by the Willant, he instinctively wanted to struggle, but after hearing the conversation beside him, the struggle stopped.
doctor!How is his situation?!
The sequelae of freezing... Freezing and dormant for more than half a year requires injection of long-acting dormant needles. This will occur if you use a short-term dormant needle.Fortunately, you found him in time. In another two months, he may really turn into ice.
elder brother.
Hearing the familiar voice, consciousness finally returned to his body. Yi Hai moved his stiff neck and looked at the young man standing next to him.
...Is it Yi River?
It's me!Looking at the dying man on the hospital bed, Yi Chuan finally couldn't hold back his sobs on his calm face.
He sniffed hard, and he tried to squeeze out a smile that was not worrying.
We're here to pick you up!
Yi Hai's Adam's apple moved, and a hirsute face finally stretched out a hint of relief.
You are here...
We will not give up on every resident who is wandering outside, and we will bring them back no matter how much the price we pay.
The solemn voice came with the footsteps of the heel landing.
Walking to the hospital bed, Wu Changnian patted Yi Chuan on the shoulder and continued in a gentle tone.
Your loved ones are out of danger, and I want to talk to those who have not been rescued.
Yi Chuan nodded vigorously, gave the brother who was lying on the hospital bed a comforting look, took a step back, turned around and walked out of the tent.
Watching his younger brother's back disappear at the door, Yi Hai looked at Wu Changnian standing by the bed, then looked at Chu Guang again, and a hint of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
Are you...that manager?
Yes.Chu Guang nodded with a smile and looked at the face full of surprise.
He knew very well that Captain Lu Yang's adjutant must be full of questions now.Even the expression on that face seemed to be asking why you were here.
It is normal to have such questions.
After all, Yi Hai's memory of Qingquan City was still a year ago, and at that time there was no concept of alliance.
In the eyes of the Trail Blazers crew, they just passed by an inconspicuous small village, and both sides helped each other a little favor within their ability.
Looking at those confused eyes, Chu Guang continued in a relaxed tone.
We can't finish talking about us for three days and three nights. I bet our story is no less than the wonderful journey you have along the way... But before talking about our story, I hope you can tell me where the remaining crew members are?
Wu Changnian also stared at him and said.
What about the others on the Trail Blazers?
The back of his head rested on the pillow, Yi Hai closed his eyes and sorted out the chaotic memories for a moment, pieced them together like a puzzle.
They... should have already entered.
Go in?where?Wu Changnian asked quickly.
refuge……
Is it a refuge No. 0?
I don't know, Yi Hai's pupils were full of uncertainty, and he continued in a hesitant voice, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be there... We found its entrance, and Lu Yang said that he planned to take the rest of the people to the shelter to escape the pursuit of the Willant and the mutants.
His eyebrows suddenly felt a little painful, and he raised his hand and pressed it on his forehead.
...It should not be the only Willant and Mutants who attacked us. The equipment they used was more elite than the Legion's equipment and closer to the pre-war situation.
Essential equipment?
Wu Changnian frowned.
Is it the college?
Not like...
Yi Hai shook his head and continued to cough.
We have never met the people from the academy...those people seem to have lived in the great desert for a long time, and they are very familiar with it.At first we thought they were coming to Shelter No. 0 like us, Captain Lu Yang proposed to cooperate with them. If Shelter No. 0 really has the ability to end the wasteland, it would not be a bad thing to open it with one more person, until later, we discovered...
Seeing that he stopped talking, Chu Guang, who was so obsessed with the sensation, immediately asked.
What have you discovered?
Yi Hai was silent for a long time.
...The intelligence that those people have was beyond our imagination. They seemed to know the location of Sanctuary 0 from the beginning, and from the beginning they were not going to Sanctuary 0 at all, it seemed to be just to stop us from getting it.
Chu Guang frowned.
Who are those people?Do they talk about their identities?
They seemed... Yi Hai thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered something vaguely, as if it was called enlightenment.
……
In the subsequent statement, Yi Hai briefly explained the whole story, including how they discovered the location of Shelter No. 0, how they had a conflict with the Willant people, how they were in danger, etc.
Captain's office.
Chu Guang, who returned to the airship, stared at the notebook in his hand and fell into deep thought.
On the blank page, the scribbled symbols were drawn with pencils. They were two inverted triangles, which were formed into the shape of a torch.
Yi Hai claimed that they saw this sign in those people, but looked confused at the Torch Church he mentioned.
Those people claimed to be an organization called the Enlightenment Society, and most of the members were made up of residents of blue coats, or shelter.
After all, the four major industrial zones and the space elevator in the center were once the industrial and economic centers of the People's Federation's era. The number of shelters distributed in these areas is naturally far from comparable to those of Luoxia Province and River Valley Province.
Since the end of the nuclear winter, almost every year a group of people have awakened in an unknown corner... This enlightenment meeting is composed of some of the residents of the shelter.
The organization's philosophy is like their name, aiming to restart the declining civilization and save this world that has been in decline for two hundred years.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Yang chose to cooperate with them and go to find the No. 0 refuge together.
It is too difficult to meet like-minded people on the wasteland.
However, no one expected that those like-minded people with them would choose to betray them at the last moment...
But there is another doubt in this.
If the organization that claims to be Enlightenment knows the location of Shelter No. 0, and the purpose is to prevent them from finding a shelter, then why pretend to cooperate with Lu Yang and others?
Even if you need to win by sneak attacks because you can't win, there is no need to take action after the Trail Blazers find the entrance to Shelter No. 0, right?
...The Enlightenment hopes that people from the business will find it, but there is a disagreement over how to deal with Shelter 0.
Chu Guang closed his eyes and thought for a while, and finally shook his head.
There is too little information to master.
He speculated that there were two possibilities, but neither of them lacked reliable arguments, and perhaps the answer was hidden in Sanctuary No. 0.
In any case, they had already obtained the exact coordinates of the entrance to shelter No. 0 from Yihai.
It was an industrial building covering an area of thousands of acres, or to put it more vividly, it was a vertical assembly factory.
The two major achievements of the prosperity era are: one is to stuff farmland into a thousand-meter-high building, and the other is to stuff the assembly line into it.
And it was stuffed in at a large scale.
According to the information provided by Yi Hai, the building was the entrance to Shelter No. 0, and a wreckage of the space elevator happened to fall into that area.
Due to the existence of radioactive substances, many extremely dangerous alien species are active in the local area.
At present, the 26th Commando of the company has sent some personnel to control the entrance of the building. Tomorrow, representatives from all parties will officially enter the ruins and unveil the mysterious veil of Shelter No. 0.
Chu Guang released the communication relay drone carried on the airship, and took advantage of the opportunity of regularly returning archived data to sort out and update the previously collected messages to the official website.
At this moment, the forum is still immersed in the joy of winning the Luoxia Provincial War.
Since only a small number of players who follow the airships, most of the players who participate in the expedition follow the NPC's large troops back by land, or sway back slowly in groups of three or five.
Most players share their experiences on the return journey on the forum, including those found in the Honey Badger Kingdom and the Lion Kingdom, or new ways to unexpectedly unlock during the journey, etc.
For example, with the reward for settlement of expansion packs, buy a piece of land in the Oasis and be a farmer.For example, staying in the local area and helping the alliance garrison do the work of combating plunderers and running errands.
"Wasteland OL" does not specify how players must play some games, but only uses the player manual to specify some things that cannot be done and the consequences of violating the rules.
In addition to several major nodes related to the direction of the world line, most of the time players can find the fun of this open world game by themselves.
Whether it is the knowledge that can be found with the movement of your fingers outside the game to help wasteland tourists improve their productivity, or it is boring to talk about a partner.
Even for most players, if you put aside the huge rewards brought by the main task, the unexpectedly triggered side lines or the strange gameplay of unlocking in the game will be more fun than those artificially designed routes.
But even so, when Chu Guang used A Guang's vest to update the latest clues of the main plot on the forum, it still attracted the attention of countless players.
The post was posted less than a minute.
The number of replies quickly exceeded thousands.
Quit smoking: Enlightenment???What is that?
Tail: Oh!I smelled the breath of conspiracy.(っ? ° °?)っ
Sce: Oh oh!New expansion pack...wait, will the new expansion pack continue to move west, right?I bet on the south side in advance.Σ( °Д °lll)
Tail: ?·?·??
Picking up garbage level 99: Hiss... Isn't this the symbol of the Torch Church before? This thing is painted on the collar that controls aliens that was listed on the NPC store in the early days, right?
Debt Big Eye: To be honest, this logo is so ugly. Could it be that A Guang draws it with a pencil?(funny)
The construction site boy and brick: The mole fleeing in the canyon, let's give an evaluation.
The Mole in the Canyon: It has a sense of unruly in its sloppy style, rough and without losing details. You can see that it has a fine artistic foundation in every stroke. It is a good job to identify it!
Debt Big Eye: ???
Quit smoking: Hahahaha!Very licking!
Irena: No wonder you are unemployed.(funny)
Ye Shi: Brother Guang!Someone said you are detailed!
Canyon Escape Mole: %¥!
Sce: Speaking of which, the founder of the Torch Church...that is, the guy who claims to be the Son, is also a refugee, right?
Teng Teng: Well... the official website setting is concentrated and it seems that it is a wasteland guest adopted by a shelter?But he grew up in a shelter.
Crow: Ah!!!Could that guy is also from the Enlightenment Association?
The Mole in the Canyon: It doesn’t matter whether he is an enlightenment member. This updated enlightenment meeting gives me the feeling that it is just a regional force.The Torch Church at least participated in the Legion's Great Expedition and the subsequent Bone Chewing Rebellion, and they... seemed to have turned off the Trail Blazers, and their presence was too low.
Ye Shi: Don’t it be said that the truly awesome bosses are hiding behind the scenes?(funny)
Qianfeng: That's a misunderstanding... Only if you don't have enough strength is needed, you need conspiracy. What awesome people are just clear.(Slant eyes)
Fang Chang: After reading it, I have found two doubts.First, why did the Enlightenment Association, which aims to restart civilization, prevent companies from approaching Shelter No. 0.Second, what is the connection between the Torch Church far south and the Enlightenment Church in the Central Continent?
Ye Shi: I suspect that Brother Guang hasn't even thought about how to make it up.(funny)
Fang Chang: Then you underestimate him. I feel like there is a big game behind it... Speaking of which, what is the No. 0 refuge.
Teng Teng: Um...a big and big refuge?
Fang Chang: How old is it?Or, how many black boxes and how many power armors do you have to be installed inside to restore the world to its original appearance?
Qianfeng: Well... When you say that, I always feel that the three major forces of the academy, enterprises, and legion may have information that we do not understand.Including our allies, none of them fully share what they know with us.
Fang Chang: This is inevitable. My intuition tells me that maybe our thinking was wrong from the beginning.
Ye Shi: What does it mean?(Stopped)
Fang Chang: When the computer is stuck, there are three common solutions we use, one is to wait for the program to respond, and the other is to end the current process, or directly restart the computer.
The underlying logic of most sanctuaries should be considered the first, saving most of the elements of civilization, such as people, resources, energy, knowledge, tools, etc. to be used to unblock them when they are suitable for rebuilding civilization... This is a relatively mild solution, but when specific to different sanctuaries, the implementation methods will be different.
However, Sanctuary No. 0 is a 'legend' existence after all, and neither the enterprise, the academy or the legion does not have its relevant data, and it is not even sure whether it has been built...
An irresponsible conjecture, perhaps in the underlying logic of this refuge, is essentially different from other refuges.
Crow: Ah, you mean…that might not be a refuge at all?
Fang Chang: Don’t worry, I just combined the conspiracy theory with the relevant settings of the Enlightenment Association. It may not be as beautiful as the rumors.(Slant eyes)
I can only say that I am the man who understands A Guang the most on the forum. Fang Chang's guess quickly triggered new discussions.
Some players tend to think that this is a new job planned by dogs, while others think that things are not that complicated.
As for cloud players, they don’t care about this, they only care about when they can increase the production of helmets.
They have missed a magnificent expedition.
Looking at the cakes that the dog planned and painted, many players who have not yet made an appointment to the game feel very cold.
There are actually players who hope that the production team will update slowly in the EA stage, which is unique in the history of the game...
Lao Bai: By the way, let’s not talk about the ones that are missing. When will you come back?A new job is coming.(Growned teeth)
Fang Chang: Well, it’s almost done, just these few days... Don’t worry, I will definitely come back first than you.
Battlefield atmosphere group: Damn!Are you planning a PY with the dog again?
Lao Bai: It doesn’t exist, then you can come back quickly, too.(Growned teeth)
Battlefield Atmosphere Group: What does it have to do with me?
Lao Bai: It’s nothing, I’m just urging others to urge you. I’ll know if it’s a big deal if you come back.
Battlefield Atmosphere Group: …?
……
the next day.
The bottom of the abandoned industrial building.
Several big dogs with gray-yellow skin, long forearms and fangs were wandering on the gravel steps, searching for prey with their sensitive noses, and unaware that the danger had quietly approached their throats.
A alien suddenly raised his head alertly and looked around.
However, before it could roar, a few short spear sounds pierced through the heads of the alien species.
There was a sound in the seabuckthorn grass, and the animals were frightened by the movement and quickly fled. Several exoskeletons appeared in the shadow not far away.
With his index finger on his helmet, Su Ming glanced at the drone hovering in the sky, then looked around and said in a clear voice.
Five alien species were killed, the image data has been recovered... The entrance of the building has been controlled, and it is confirmed that there are no other threats... Damn, don't let me name it anymore.
According to information from Yi Hai, it is suspected that an unknown third party has set his sights on Shelter No. 0... However, Su Ming felt that this might just be the Willant people's trick.
Those guys are not without high-tech equipment, but they are just relatively small in number.
Otherwise, how did the Trail Blazers be targeted by the Willant and surrounded by a large number of clone troops?
As for what enlightenment meeting.
Maybe it was the argument made by the Willant to get close to the Trail Blazers, but what was outrageous was that Captain Lu Yang actually believed it.
If it were him, he would not believe the strangers he met on the wasteland.
It’s better to upload it to the endpoint cloud and let netizens vote.
Good idea, when will the next time you put migratory birds back?
It seems to be tomorrow.
Damn...
Su Ming cursed in a low voice, turned on the vertical and stable system of the battle video, and prepared to record some interesting materials and update them to the social account.
At the same time, ten armed trucks drove out of the camp, taking a group of soldiers and representatives who were about to explore the remains, and rushed downstairs of the industrial building that had been cleared.
The wreckage of the space elevator is not far away, and a towering curved metal shell is embedded on the ground like the roof of a hangar.
I heard that this magnificent component is just a tile and a brick on the space elevator.
Just looking at the broken bricks and tiles, it is really unimaginable how majestic the tower leading to space was before it collapsed.
All four forces gathered downstairs of the building.
The tall Willant was wearing heavy bulletproof armor, led by an officer with a raised nose and deep eye sockets.
Next to him was a entourage, who looked handsome in different styles, and was the pangolin who killed countless enemies on the battlefield.
Wali looked proudly at the Alliance soldiers who were said to have suffered all the hardships of his compatriots on the battlefield.
The reason why Lord Cohen named Pangolins as his guard was that he was not without showing off his power in front of the alliance.
However, what made him confused was why those guys' reactions were so dull that they didn't look here at all.
Don’t you know this brave general under his command?
Or is it because of fear that I even dare not even touch it.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Wali's mouth.
Too weak!
The warrior standing in front of him, he was now feeling uncomfortable and his toes tightened the ground.
Oh shit.
This is too awkward!
Unlike the Legion, the academy was quite low-key, with only a female researcher with long black hair.
Next to her was a half-person-tall four-legged robot dog, with a bulging backpack hanging on her broad body.
Since getting off the car, she has not communicated with anyone, and she stood in a place where she felt safe with a look of no stranger.
This is mostly the case when the college researchers are outside.
Many reasons such as historical problems and high equipment cost have caused almost every college to have a paranoia of being killed.
In fact, this cannot be considered a delusion. After all, the prospectors of the college are full of treasures, which is almost common sense in wasteland.
Most prospectors choose to hide their past identities after leaving the academy... This is exactly the opposite of the bragging employees.
When most surviving forces are thinking about the risks of being blacklisted.
Especially in the provinces between clouds, things are done too flamboyantly, which arouses both people and gods on the end point cloud, and may also attract hunting from corporate allies or direct commandos.
Just as he was confirming the task assigned to him by the instructor through the holographic window, Jiang Xuezhou suddenly frowned.
She always felt two eyes staring at her...
In fact, she felt very accurate.
But it was not the person who stared at her, but the bionic person of the company.
Staring straight at the little girl from the academy, Han Shuang said with anger.
Solar eclipse...why don't you let us go?Strictly speaking, bionic people should not be human, right?Wouldn't it be better to bring more people?
The pupils of the solar eclipse flickered slightly.
It is said that this is the proposal of the college.
Hanshuang looked at it and said dissatisfiedly.
But didn’t they also bring a mechanical dog with an AI core installed?What's the difference?
The solar eclipse was silent for a while.
That... shouldn't be considered a human being.
Han Shuang's face was full of humiliation and reluctance, and she clenched her fists.
Damn it...isn't it just lying down?I don't know.
Solar Eclipse: …?
Just as everyone was waiting, the passage from the main entrance of the building with the entrance to the No. 0 refuge was completely opened.
He walked out of the first-floor lobby with his subordinates, and Yun Song, the captain of the 26th Commando, happened to run into Yun You who had just gotten out of the car.
There are two representatives who have arranged for the company to enter Shelter No. 0 this time, one is Yun You, and the other is Su Ming, the best scout under his command.
Looking at Yun You walking towards him, Yun Song's face rarely felt hesitation and restraint, and he asked in a low voice.
Are you... no problem?
Yunyou nodded simply.
No problem, we have reached a ceasefire agreement with the Legion, and they only have two of them.
I always feel that the threat is not just from the Willant people…
Looking back at the abandoned building, Yun Song looked at Yun You again. Seeing that her expression was not relaxed, she finally sighed with giving up.
Be careful for a while.
Yunyou nodded and said concisely.
Um.
Not far away.
Looking at Yun You and Yun Song standing together, Ye Shi approached his NPC teammate who was about to finish the book together for a while and asked curiously.
Hey, brother, by the way, what is the relationship between your captain and the representative from the endpoint group...?
He was curious before.
Both of them have surnames Yun, but their personalities and temperaments are completely different, and they even don’t look like people from the same era at all.
Su Ming said mysteriously.
you guess?
Ye Shi glanced at him.
You are so mysterious... I guess you are definitely not a sibling.
Smart, Su Ming gave a thumbs up and praised, keep guessing.
...Mother and son?
Su Ming shook his head like a rattle.
No, this generation is far different.
It’s okay if the seniority is far apart...Aunt and nephew?Grandpa and grandson?Damn, what exactly is it?Seeing that the guy kept keeping insincere, Ye Shi couldn't help but curse and swear.
Su Ming smiled.
I said you definitely can't guess it.
Seeing that his teammates were about to be driven crazy, he no longer kept him in his arms and whispered in his ear.
In fact... by seniority, she should be considered the grandmother of our captain's N generation...
Ye Shi was stunned and his worldview was immediately hit hard.
Damn it?!
Su Ming shrugged.
This situation is actually not uncommon in Ideal City. One day you were at work and suddenly you learned that a direct blood relative of your ancestors had a sister or brother or brother from frozen to hibernation a hundred years ago. Now that guy is sitting in the hospital, flipping through cameras that do not exist at all. He thought he had become the target of a prank show, and everyone around him was joining together to deceive himself... Can you understand this feeling?
When you wake up, your incurable disease is cured, but the world you are familiar with is over with your pension.
He paused and continued as he said.
It's another matter for someone who suddenly picked up an ancestor. You have to worry about how to make him or her accept reality and explain... what's going on with yourself.
Ye Shi was stunned.
...Ah this.
He had never thought about this problem before, and he just thought it would be very pleasant to go to freeze and dormant in the future.
The bionic maid in the game might be able to do it in reality, and the deposits in the bank card seem to be doubled.
But if you think about it carefully, this assumption seems to be a default that tomorrow will be better.
What if the future gets worse?
It's quite terrifying to think about it this way.
Of course... I'm just giving an example. Our captain and Ms. Yun You are in another situation... In short, she comes from the prosperity era, and her knowledge is of great use to us. We have to protect her in a while.
Looking at the captain's gesture of gathering, Su Ming patted Ye Shi on the shoulder and said with a grin.
Leaving brothers, ready to work.
As his consciousness gradually recovered, the scorching pain suddenly surged into his throat, and he relapsed sideways.
vomit!Cough cough
He vomited a stomach full of sour water, and he was quickly pressed back by two people in white coats.
Thinking that he was caught by the Willant, he instinctively wanted to struggle, but after hearing the conversation beside him, the struggle stopped.

In addition to several major nodes related to the direction of the world line, most of the time players can find the fun of this open world game by themselves.
Whether it is the knowledge that can be found with the movement of your fingers outside the game to help wasteland tourists improve their productivity, or it is boring to talk about a partner.
Even for most players, if you put aside the huge rewards brought by the main task, the unexpectedly triggered side lines or the strange gameplay of unlocking in the game will be more fun than those artificially designed routes.
But even so, when Chu Guang used A Guang's vest to update the latest clues of the main plot on the forum, it still attracted the attention of countless players.
The post was posted less than a minute.
The number of replies quickly exceeded thousands.
Quit smoking: Enlightenment???What is that?
Tail: Oh!I smelled the breath of conspiracy.(っ? ° °?)っ
Sce: Oh oh!New expansion pack...wait, will the new expansion pack continue to move west, right?I bet on the south side in advance.Σ( °Д °lll)
Tail: ?·?·??
Picking up garbage level 99: Hiss... Isn't this the symbol of the Torch Church before? This thing is painted on the collar that controls aliens that was listed on the NPC store in the early days, right?
Debt Big Eye: To be honest, this logo is so ugly. Could it be that A Guang draws it with a pencil?(funny)
The construction site boy and brick: The mole fleeing in the canyon, let's give an evaluation.
The Mole in the Canyon: It has a sense of unruly in its sloppy style, rough and without losing details. You can see that it has a fine artistic foundation in every stroke. It is a good job to identify it!
Debt Big Eye: ???
Quit smoking: Hahahaha!Very licking!
Irena: No wonder you are unemployed.(funny)
Ye Shi: Brother Guang!Someone said you are detailed!
Canyon Escape Mole: %¥!
Sce: Speaking of which, the founder of the Torch Church...that is, the guy who claims to be the Son, is also a refugee, right?
Teng Teng: Well... the official website setting is concentrated and it seems that it is a wasteland guest adopted by a shelter?But he grew up in a shelter.
Crow: Ah!!!Could that guy is also from the Enlightenment Association?
The Mole in the Canyon: It doesn’t matter whether he is an enlightenment member. This updated enlightenment meeting gives me the feeling that it is just a regional force.The Torch Church at least participated in the Legion's Great Expedition and the subsequent Bone Chewing Rebellion, and they... seemed to have turned off the Trail Blazers, and their presence was too low.
Ye Shi: Don’t it be said that the truly awesome bosses are hiding behind the scenes?(funny)
Qianfeng: That's a misunderstanding... Only if you don't have enough strength is needed, you need conspiracy. What awesome people are just clear.(Slant eyes)
Fang Chang: After reading it, I have found two doubts.First, why did the Enlightenment Association, which aims to restart civilization, prevent companies from approaching Shelter No. 0.Second, what is the connection between the Torch Church far south and the Enlightenment Church in the Central Continent?
Ye Shi: I suspect that Brother Guang hasn't even thought about how to make it up.(funny)
Fang Chang: Then you underestimate him. I feel like there is a big game behind it... Speaking of which, what is the No. 0 refuge.
Teng Teng: Um...a big and big refuge?
Fang Chang: How old is it?Or, how many black boxes and how many power armors do you have to be installed inside to restore the world to its original appearance?
Qianfeng: Well... When you say that, I always feel that the three major forces of the academy, enterprises, and legion may have information that we do not understand.Including our allies, none of them fully share what they know with us.
Fang Chang: This is inevitable. My intuition tells me that maybe our thinking was wrong from the beginning.
Ye Shi: What does it mean?(Stopped)
Fang Chang: When the computer is stuck, there are three common solutions we use, one is to wait for the program to respond, and the other is to end the current process, or directly restart the computer.
The underlying logic of most sanctuaries should be considered the first, saving most of the elements of civilization, such as people, resources, energy, knowledge, tools, etc. to be used to unblock them when they are suitable for rebuilding civilization... This is a relatively mild solution, but when specific to different sanctuaries, the implementation methods will be different.
However, Sanctuary No. 0 is a 'legend' existence after all, and neither the enterprise, the academy or the legion does not have its relevant data, and it is not even sure whether it has been built...
An irresponsible conjecture, perhaps in the underlying logic of this refuge, is essentially different from other refuges.
Crow: Ah, you mean…that might not be a refuge at all?
Fang Chang: Don’t worry, I just combined the conspiracy theory with the relevant settings of the Enlightenment Association. It may not be as beautiful as the rumors.(Slant eyes)
I can only say that I am the man who understands A Guang the most on the forum. Fang Chang's guess quickly triggered new discussions.
Some players tend to think that this is a new job planned by dogs, while others think that things are not that complicated.
As for cloud players, they don’t care about this, they only care about when they can increase the production of helmets.
They have missed a magnificent expedition.
Looking at the cakes that the dog planned and painted, many players who have not yet made an appointment to the game feel very cold.
There are actually players who hope that the production team will update slowly in the EA stage, which is unique in the history of the game...
Lao Bai: By the way, let’s not talk about the ones that are missing. When will you come back?A new job is coming.(Growned teeth)
Fang Chang: Well, it’s almost done, just these few days... Don’t worry, I will definitely come back first than you.
Battlefield atmosphere group: Damn!Are you planning a PY with the dog again?
Lao Bai: It doesn’t exist, then you can come back quickly, too.(Growned teeth)
Battlefield Atmosphere Group: What does it have to do with me?
Lao Bai: It’s nothing, I’m just urging others to urge you. I’ll know if it’s a big deal if you come back.
Battlefield Atmosphere Group: …?
……
the next day.
The bottom of the abandoned industrial building.
Several big dogs with gray-yellow skin, long forearms and fangs were wandering on the gravel steps, searching for prey with their sensitive noses, and unaware that the danger had quietly approached their throats.
A alien suddenly raised his head alertly and looked around.
However, before it could roar, a few short spear sounds pierced through the heads of the alien species.
There was a sound in the seabuckthorn grass, and the animals were frightened by the movement and quickly fled. Several exoskeletons appeared in the shadow not far away.
With his index finger on his helmet, Su Ming glanced at the drone hovering in the sky, then looked around and said in a clear voice.
Five alien species were killed, the image data has been recovered... The entrance of the building has been controlled, and it is confirmed that there are no other threats... Damn, don't let me name it anymore.
According to information from Yi Hai, it is suspected that an unknown third party has set his sights on Shelter No. 0... However, Su Ming felt that this might just be the Willant people's trick.
Those guys are not without high-tech equipment, but they are just relatively small in number.
Otherwise, how did the Trail Blazers be targeted by the Willant and surrounded by a large number of clone troops?
As for what enlightenment meeting.
Maybe it was the argument made by the Willant to get close to the Trail Blazers, but what was outrageous was that Captain Lu Yang actually believed it.
If it were him, he would not believe the strangers he met on the wasteland.
It’s better to upload it to the endpoint cloud and let netizens vote.
Good idea, when will the next time you put migratory birds back?
It seems to be tomorrow.
Damn...
Su Ming cursed in a low voice, turned on the vertical and stable system of the battle video, and prepared to record some interesting materials and update them to the social account.
At the same time, ten armed trucks drove out of the camp, taking a group of soldiers and representatives who were about to explore the remains, and rushed downstairs of the industrial building that had been cleared.
The wreckage of the space elevator is not far away, and a towering curved metal shell is embedded on the ground like the roof of a hangar.
I heard that this magnificent component is just a tile and a brick on the space elevator.
Just looking at the broken bricks and tiles, it is really unimaginable how majestic the tower leading to space was before it collapsed.
All four forces gathered downstairs of the building.
The tall Willant was wearing heavy bulletproof armor, led by an officer with a raised nose and deep eye sockets.
Next to him was a entourage, who looked handsome in different styles, and was the pangolin who killed countless enemies on the battlefield.
Wali looked proudly at the Alliance soldiers who were said to have suffered all the hardships of his compatriots on the battlefield.
The reason why Lord Cohen named Pangolins as his guard was that he was not without showing off his power in front of the alliance.
However, what made him confused was why those guys' reactions were so dull that they didn't look here at all.
Don’t you know this brave general under his command?
Or is it because of fear that I even dare not even touch it.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Wali's mouth.
Too weak!
The warrior standing in front of him, he was now feeling uncomfortable and his toes tightened the ground.
Oh shit.
This is too awkward!
Unlike the Legion, the academy was quite low-key, with only a female researcher with long black hair.
Next to her was a half-person-tall four-legged robot dog, with a bulging backpack hanging on her broad body.
Since getting off the car, she has not communicated with anyone, and she stood in a place where she felt safe with a look of no stranger.
This is mostly the case when the college researchers are outside.
Many reasons such as historical problems and high equipment cost have caused almost every college to have a paranoia of being killed.
In fact, this cannot be considered a delusion. After all, the prospectors of the college are full of treasures, which is almost common sense in wasteland.
Most prospectors choose to hide their past identities after leaving the academy... This is exactly the opposite of the bragging employees.
When most surviving forces are thinking about the risks of being blacklisted.
Especially in the provinces between clouds, things are done too flamboyantly, which arouses both people and gods on the end point cloud, and may also attract hunting from corporate allies or direct commandos.
Just as he was confirming the task assigned to him by the instructor through the holographic window, Jiang Xuezhou suddenly frowned.
She always felt two eyes staring at her...
In fact, she felt very accurate.
But it was not the person who stared at her, but the bionic person of the company.
Staring straight at the little girl from the academy, Han Shuang said with anger.
Solar eclipse...why don't you let us go?Strictly speaking, bionic people should not be human, right?Wouldn't it be better to bring more people?
The pupils of the solar eclipse flickered slightly.
It is said that this is the proposal of the college.
Hanshuang looked at it and said dissatisfiedly.
But didn’t they also bring a mechanical dog with an AI core installed?What's the difference?
The solar eclipse was silent for a while.
That... shouldn't be considered a human being.
Han Shuang's face was full of humiliation and reluctance, and she clenched her fists.
Damn it...isn't it just lying down?I don't know.
Solar Eclipse: …?
Just as everyone was waiting, the passage from the main entrance of the building with the entrance to the No. 0 refuge was completely opened.
He walked out of the first-floor lobby with his subordinates, and Yun Song, the captain of the 26th Commando, happened to run into Yun You who had just gotten out of the car.
There are two representatives who have arranged for the company to enter Shelter No. 0 this time, one is Yun You, and the other is Su Ming, the best scout under his command.
Looking at Yun You walking towards him, Yun Song's face rarely felt hesitation and restraint, and he asked in a low voice.
Are you... no problem?
Yunyou nodded simply.
No problem, we have reached a ceasefire agreement with the Legion, and they only have two of them.
I always feel that the threat is not just from the Willant people…
Looking back at the abandoned building, Yun Song looked at Yun You again. Seeing that her expression was not relaxed, she finally sighed with giving up.
Be careful for a while.
Yunyou nodded and said concisely.
Um.
Not far away.
Looking at Yun You and Yun Song standing together, Ye Shi approached his NPC teammate who was about to finish the book together for a while and asked curiously.
Hey, brother, by the way, what is the relationship between your captain and the representative from the endpoint group...?
He was curious before.
Both of them have surnames Yun, but their personalities and temperaments are completely different, and they even don’t look like people from the same era at all.
Su Ming said mysteriously.
you guess?
Ye Shi glanced at him.
You are so mysterious... I guess you are definitely not a sibling.
Smart, Su Ming gave a thumbs up and praised, keep guessing.
...Mother and son?
Su Ming shook his head like a rattle.
No, this generation is far different.
It’s okay if the seniority is far apart...Aunt and nephew?Grandpa and grandson?Damn, what exactly is it?Seeing that the guy kept keeping insincere, Ye Shi couldn't help but curse and swear.
Su Ming smiled.
I said you definitely can't guess it.
Seeing that his teammates were about to be driven crazy, he no longer kept him in his arms and whispered in his ear.
In fact... by seniority, she should be considered the grandmother of our captain's N generation...
Ye Shi was stunned and his worldview was immediately hit hard.
Damn it?!
Su Ming shrugged.
This situation is actually not uncommon in Ideal City. One day you were at work and suddenly you learned that a direct blood relative of your ancestors had a sister or brother or brother from frozen to hibernation a hundred years ago. Now that guy is sitting in the hospital, flipping through cameras that do not exist at all. He thought he had become the target of a prank show, and everyone around him was joining together to deceive himself... Can you understand this feeling?
When you wake up, your incurable disease is cured, but the world you are familiar with is over with your pension.
He paused and continued as he said.
It's another matter for someone who suddenly picked up an ancestor. You have to worry about how to make him or her accept reality and explain... what's going on with yourself.
Ye Shi was stunned.
...Ah this.
He had never thought about this problem before, and he just thought it would be very pleasant to go to freeze and dormant in the future.
The bionic maid in the game might be able to do it in reality, and the deposits in the bank card seem to be doubled.
But if you think about it carefully, this assumption seems to be a default that tomorrow will be better.
What if the future gets worse?
It's quite terrifying to think about it this way.
Of course... I'm just giving an example. Our captain and Ms. Yun You are in another situation... In short, she comes from the prosperity era, and her knowledge is of great use to us. We have to protect her in a while.
Looking at the captain's gesture of gathering, Su Ming patted Ye Shi on the shoulder and said with a grin.
Leaving brothers, ready to work.
