Subway station near the old residents' resettlement site.
Two hunched mutants stood at the entrance of the subway station surrounded by five young mutant warriors. They held white flags in their hands and looked at the armored vehicles and a straight machine gun not far away, their faces filled with anxiety and panic.
The two elderly old people were priests of the Qi tribe, one of which was Gomo, and the other was named Henk, who was the representative of the ancestor sect.
Unlike the secular school, the ancestor school is one of the earliest mutants in Singularity City. Their views are undoubtedly extremely radical compared to the Singularity City a century and a half ago, but compared with the current Singular Tribe, they are undoubtedly conservative to reverse history.
Instead of hunting humans as prey, they tend to keep the part born in the pasture as animals, and the remaining free people as slaves.
Anyway, most farmers on this land do the same, and I hope there are very few villages like that of more than half of the free people in the town.
They even oppose eating people, after all, there are more nutritious foods, and they promised the guys who don't want to become mutants at least not to make them into pies... Although this promise actually makes no sense, after all, the moment they win, the residents who don't want to become mutants have actually lost all their power.
Without external interference, conservatives in any society will eventually age, and the Qi Tribe is no exception.
Although the ancestor school masters a series of advanced technologies, including birth delivery, it still cannot change the increasing number of new generations in the tribe, and the fact that secular schools that focus more on the rights of mutants have entered the power center.
However, now, the warriors in the entire Qi tribe who were given the name have been killed in battle, and the rest are the old, weak, sick and disabled, and young men who have just learned to snore.
The ancestor school, who advocated harmony with humans, gained power again.
Although it is in a sarcastic way.
...It's useless, they won't let us go.Looking at Henk who was still looking forward to the peace talks, Gomo sighed.
It is too naive to escape from the city before the fog has dissipated, but it is too naive to think that those humans will let them go.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, the former glared back fiercely.
Shut up!If it weren't for the brave idiot Gaen and you crazy guys who brought us into the ditch, how could we have fallen into the field like this now!
Gomo closed his mouth as he wished and closed his turbid pupils, because nothing was meaningless to say at this time.
Maybe it was time passed too long, and that guy had forgotten how they forced the rest of them to make a choice
Either volunteer to become a mutant or a beast on a farm.
Once they embark on this road, they can only go to dark, at least they have absolutely no chance to turn back.
The league seems to have made a decision.
An officer with a high rank walked to the front line and gave a few instructions to the officer wearing an exoskeleton.
The officer wearing an exoskeleton nodded, watching the chief walk away, then took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, lit it with a lighter.
Seeing that scene, a hint of panic appeared in Henk's eyes.
What exactly is the decision that requires smoking a cigarette first?
He hurriedly stepped forward half a step forward and shouted as he looked at the rifles that were warning to lift up.
Wait, wait a moment!You may not understand that we were actually humans before!We have all worked hard for the same goal!It's just that there's something wrong with us here, but it's not all our responsibility. For the sake of our all-time service to the Post-War Reconstruction Committee, please, we're willing to accept all your arrangements.
In order to survive, he almost lost all his dignity, and the mutant boys following him breathed gently, with struggle and hatred on his face.
However, the officer wearing an exoskeleton didn't care. He just calmly smoked the cigarette, threw it on the ground and stepped on it to the ground and waved impatiently.
Open fire.
He had given them a cigarette time to pick up the weapon and continue fighting. Since he didn't pick it up, he would die.
negotiation?
What to talk about with beasts.
The chimera armored vehicle's muzzle spewed out of the flames, and thick tracers instantly pierced the Gomo with his eyes closed.
The old guy turned into a pool of minced meat on the spot and fell to the ground without saying a word. Then he fell down Henk, who was kneeling on the ground and the group of unconvincing guys behind him.
The battle at the entrance of the subway station was over soon.
Finally, when the CG animation was finished, the players who were already ready to go, searched the guys and rushed into the subway station, and began the final cleaning work.
The VM's task panel clearly states
No remnants of the Qi tribe are left behind.
And they had planned so too, especially after seeing the great achievements of those beasts...
Who has worked hard for the same goal as you?
Kicking the bloody corpse, the player who walked nearby spitted on it with cold eyes, holding the rifle and continuing to walk forward...
……
Just as the corps were advancing towards the underground transportation network of Jinhe City from the entrances of various subway stations, the 1,000-man team under the First Corps of the Alliance had arrived in the eastern suburbs of Jinhe City.
In order to accommodate survivors rescued from the Qi Tribe and to accommodate those liberated from the church, the Alliance needed to expand the Pinecone Farm and rename the expanded Pinecone Farm to Singularity City.
There is a ready-made mind interference device there that will help those who are in captivity to integrate into human society as soon as possible.
According to the agreement reached by Chu Guang and Han Shuang, it will be responsible for the management of Singularity City, and the Alliance will only be responsible for defense and security.
Before the local survivors completely quit Nago and become individuals with full capacity for behavior, Chu Guang does not intend to incorporate Singularity City into the alliance as the sixth settlement of the alliance. The cooperation model between the two parties will refer to the current cooperation model between the countries of Luoxia Province and the alliance.
Although both the company and the college are eager to take over the mess completely immediately, Chu Guang certainly cannot agree to them.
He didn't know what the academy was thinking. Those people like to play secret room politics, and it was irresistible what they were going to do, but Chu Guangke was very clear about the ideas of the board of directors.
Once the alliance completely takes over this settlement, everything that happens here is the alliance's internal affairs, and the board of directors can completely eliminate the responsibilities of more than a hundred years ago, and even Han Shuang becomes a job for him. At that time, they will have room to retreat if they find any trouble.
At least until the Council wiped its butts clean, Chu Guang could not have taken the fruits of the labor of the Union citizens to pay for their past mistakes.
Only by uniting one's own people can we unite others. Any union that sacrifices the interests of one's own people will always be a flash in the pan.
After all, both the offerors and the offerors know in their hearts that this good for no reason will not last long.
And things that are destined to be unsustainable.
The north gate of the Pinecone Farm.
Not long after the sign of Singularity City was erected, a group of black people appeared in the north, with a long line like a long snake.
Some people carried a bulging backpack, while others drove several double-headed ox carts. They came from the direction of Hope Town, as if they were escaping.
The centurion on duty here was named Zheng Liushu. After seeing the group of refugees, he immediately brought people to meet him.
Before he could ask, Mayor Ma Hechang, who was the leader, took the initiative to confess his identity, then grabbed his arm, and cried with tears in his mouth. The Torch Church was how the Torch Church united those mutants to persecute them.
...The land in Hope Town can no longer grow food. I heard that you are willing to take in those oppressed by the torch, so you can take us in together!
Ma Hechang actually didn't tell the truth completely. The reason why he fled here with the townspeople was not because the land contaminated by Nago could not grow food.
Although this is indeed true.
In Hope Town, only Mr. Kong’s farm and a few self-cultivated farmers are actually farming. His choice is largely a kind of speculation.
The fog outside had dissipated, and the sound of cannons in the morning stopped.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Alliance has won the conflict with the Torch Church and has become the new owner of this land.
Unlike the Torch Church, which lets the plantation plantation, the Alliance intends to rebuild Singularity City and concentrate on restoring the soil corroded by Nago with Singularity City as the center.
Hope Town is a bit far from Singularity City. When the alliance comes to poverty alleviation, what should I do if I get accomplice to be tried?
Now, it is undoubtedly the best choice to surrender.
But to be honest, Ma Hechang has no choice. He himself is a Nago addict.
If the alliance does not allow them to plant fruit on this land in the future, even if he can tolerate it, other residents may not be able to quit.
Since Hope Town is already a mess, it is best for both yourself and the villagers to sell it for a good price before it rots.
Of course, it was not easy to convince the residents of the town to leave their hometowns, and he had to waste some time to complete their ideological work.
Zheng Liushu heard him and heard it a lot, and finally waved his hand and let them go.
Although the original intention of this settlement was not prepared for them, the manager's orders were there after all
Anyone who feels that he needs to be shelter is the target of its shelter, and anyone who takes the initiative to leave here will no longer be sheltered.
Maybe when they have enough of living here, they will leave themselves.
If you think it through, go in, this settlement is actually an AI-managed shelter agency. Its function is to help rescued survivors gain the ability to support themselves, and to help those who cannot quit Nago on their own... It is best if you have the ability to quit that thing yourself, and you don't have to come here.
Looking at the survivor walking towards the gate, Zheng Liushu still reminded him out of his duty.
Hearing this sentence, many people hesitated. After a while, the crowd hesitantly raised a hand.
Is it a food here?
Zheng Liushu nodded.
It's up, but I have to work every day.
Then there was someone again immediately.
Want money?
Zheng Liushu shook his head.
Need not.
When the survivors heard that there was such a good thing, they all smiled relievedly and walked towards their future new home.
On the contrary, Mayor Ma, who had been begging for a long time, was still here and not leaving. He was holding a round package wrapped in linen and a flattering smile on his face.
To be honest, Zheng Liushu doesn't like this guy.
He didn't know what happened in Hope Town when he first came here, but he heard that most of the settlements here had cooperated with the Torch Church.
However, he didn't make things difficult for a slap man who fled, so he said in an official tone.
Is there anything else?
Ma Hechang nodded quickly and said with a smile.
Some, some, sir, I have something to offer to you!
Zheng Liushu suddenly became serious when he heard this. He thought this guy wanted to bribe him, so he immediately took a step back.
I don't want your stuff, put it away!
No, no, this must be given to you.Ma Hechang stepped forward unyieldingly and untied the package in his arms.
The moment he saw the things in the package, Zheng Liushu subconsciously held his breath, and the same was true for the soldiers next to him.
I saw that the linen was covered with a bloody head.
He frowned slightly, and he looked at Ma Hechang and asked in a serious tone.
……What do you mean?
Seeing that the adult didn't see it, Ma Hechang quickly wiped the blood from the head with his sleeve and explained.
Adult, this is the mutant's child.
Zheng Liushu was stunned for a moment, his eyebrows tightened even more.
How could you have mutant children?
Ma Hechang continued tremblingly.
It, unlike other mutants, is mixed-blood... Occasionally, there will be mutant's cubs who have more blood, just like mules born from horses and donkeys.We had allowed it to trade with us before, but now the situation is different and we have completely drawn a line with them.
The point he wanted to say was actually the last sentence.
But it seems that this head is too impactful, and he seems to have used too much force...
...Okay, we know.
Zheng Liushu glanced at the bloody head, and finally said nothing, twisting his chin at the soldier beside him.
Buried it.
The hatred between the locals and the Qi tribe he did not have the right to evaluate, but they did have the right to do it.
What's more, he is a mutant, and he is not interested in distinguishing the specific difference between a mixed-race and an unmixed race.
This is already smelly.
I guess I've been dead for a few days.
The soldier nodded and stepped forward to pick up the head.
Seeing this, Ma Hechang was stunned and said quickly.
Adult...Don't you hang it up?
Zheng Liushu replied impatiently.
We usually only hang the mastermind to show public opinion. After the corpse smells, it will be removed and burned. Is it meaningful to hang it?
Ma Hechang pointed a little, thinking that it made sense, but he was still worried and couldn't help but remind the officer in front of him.
Don’t let those people go with mercy, they will cause us so much.
Don't worry, our managers have their own arrangements.
You can make a rack, hang them up, drill a small hole on top of your head, insert the cotton core and light it, so that you can slowly burn it for a few more days.
We will advise managers.
It would be great if that shelf could be hung here... Of course, I just suggest.Feeling that the officer was a little impatient, Ma Hechang was embarrassed to ask if someone needed help here, so he quickly shut up and left.
Watching the guy go away, the soldiers on duty next to him couldn't help but tickled.
Why does this guy have so many problems? Let's just repair him a theater and place two chairs and ask him to sit on it and have fun.
His name is Yang Gaoshan, and he is also a refugee who survived the bone-chewing turmoil.
However, unlike Lao Zheng, who is already a centurion, he has been making bullets on the assembly line of the military factory, and it happened a few months ago to join the First Corps.
Maybe his relatives died in this disaster?The slightly taller soldier next to him said casually.
His name is Wu Pangfei. His original family was near Luoyeling. Later, he was arrested by the army and was rescued by the alliance and joined the army.
Yang Gaoshan looked at him incomprehensible.
But what did he do himself?Wait there?Wait until everything is over and beg us to take it in?Then point fingers at us?I'm not saying that he is not pity enough, I just want to ask him what qualifications he has to make?Did he fight with us, or did he provide us with food or ammunition?Or is he a citizen of the alliance?
He agreed to help these pity people out of morality, but he hated that guy's taken for granted face.
This does not conflict.
Zheng Liushu glanced at his two subordinates and said casually.
This is true for people. If you treat him well, he hopes you are better. If you don’t meet the standards of the saint in his mind, he will feel that your previous kindness is the archway of a prostitute.Don't worry, we didn't come here because we were willing to help people, although we helped some pity people in the end.
Whether it is to end the wasteland or the security of the alliance, it is far from anything to be helpful.
Yang Gaoshan was still a little angry.
But the pity people... I really don't think they are pity at all, let alone innocent. It seems that they have no choice, but what happened since 150 years ago that they didn't choose?If it were me, I would let them fend for themselves here. There were still mountains in our home waiting to be solved!
Zheng Liushu sighed.
You are too extreme. If our managers do this, their troubles will sooner or later become our troubles.
Yang Gaoshan said immediately.
I didn't say that the manager did not do well, I was always loyal to his decision, I just felt that these people were not worthy of saving.
There were guerrillas fighting side by side with us in Xizhou City, and there were rebels who would never surrender in the desert. The workers of Giant Rock City stood up, and what about them?They regularly provide slaves to mutants!I beg us to return the little princess to them!It seems that all this is our fault!
The only iron tower that is still resisting is from the neighboring province in the south!What kind of town mayor is so embarrassed to make requests with us on behalf of his townspeople?
Zheng Liushu didn't say anything. To be honest, he didn't like Mayor Ma very much. The veteran next to him coughed gently and said.
So we only do what we should do. The managers did not ask us to spoil them, nor did they take them back and raise them, but let them rebuild their homes here.Okay, that's all for this topic... But I still have some doubts about bionics. Is that thing really that reliable?
He was a mercenary in the Rock City in his early years. He initially helped the Alliance fight because the Alliance gave him bargaining chips. He actually joined the Alliance and transferred to the regular army because of a funeral.
He has lived in Rock City for a long time and is more concerned about the potential risks of Bionic technology than the survivors of Dawn City.
Ibers is a bionic man, and that guy has caused a lot of harm to people when he is an aristocratic accomplice.
Dragon Blood Potion is that guy’s masterpiece.
In order to achieve more awakened people and greater economic benefits, he does not hesitate to tap the awakening potential of the users at the cost of the disability rate of the users.
Until the bank of Stone and the bargaining chips it issued went bankrupt, many people were struggling to survive in a bad environment with huge loans.
Zheng Liushu thought about it and said.
That guy is not reliable, but it just fits them.
The veteran said in confusion.
Just fit?
Um.
Recalling what he heard at the work meeting before leaving, Zheng Liushu continued.
The special bionics from Kangmao Group provide them with a step-by-step life. They will get up at 6 o'clock in the morning, start working at 7 o'clock, and take an hour off for lunch at 12 o'clock, continue working until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and have two hours of reading classes after get off work, and turn off the lights and go to bed on time at 10 o'clock in the evening.They will do fixed things at a fixed time, and there will be corresponding punishments if they violate them.
Although the punishment is not serious, it is just a small dark room.
Yang Gaoshan calculated with his fingers and said in a daze.
...Why do I feel like this worksheet sounds good?
Wu Pangfei was also stunned.
Then what should they do if they work hard?Could it be that our workers are in vain to support them?
Nothing to raise?How is that possible? We are not a wishing machine. Zheng Liushu smiled and said, "We will build a railway here, supply them with the materials needed for production, and help them clean up those green things, but they also have to plant some cash crops for us. Otherwise, what do you think I am talking about doing work?"
Yang Gaoshan couldn't help asking.
But what if they are lazy?
Zheng Liushu said with a faint smile.
Don’t think that bionics can’t see this little cleverness, that guy is actually very smart.
Although they do not require their participation in management work, his superiors mentioned it at the previous work conference on Singularity City.
In order to ensure production enthusiasm, the AI called Hanshuang sets three living standards, the lowest level is basically a life-saving player, and is aimed at players who fail to meet the KPI assessment continuously.
The middle level is sufficient nutrition, while the highest level is abundant in life.
If there is a surplus in trade between Singularity and the Alliance, Frost will deduct the part used to improve productivity and purchase a portion of the consumer goods that improve life will be provided proportionally to residents of intermediate and highest living standards to encourage production.
Yang Gaoshan thought for a long time, but still couldn't help but say.
Why do I still sound a little overdone?
Zheng Liushu shrugged.
Let's see it after a while, it's too early to say this now.
This guy just thought it simple.
The survivors in this settlement are not ordinary people, but Nago addicts who will enter a state of wandering from time to time.
Among them are ten thousand Primitive men who have just been rescued from the cage.
In order to avoid the complete stagnation of production work by all people in collective withdrawal reactions, Singularity City will lift the restrictions on human use by the mind interference device to a certain extent, and plant a small amount of nagwort to supply some addicts in a gradually decreasing manner until the Alliance's Biological Institute finds a medical treatment plan.
Due to many special circumstances, the law of the alliance is not fully applied here, and they have not obtained the status of a alliance citizen.
Wu Pangfei: Is there no specific deadline?
Zheng Liushu thought about it and said.
I don’t know, at least before the troubles of Haiya Province were solved, I guess we will need such a buffer... But the manager said that if someone wants to go out from here, register his biological information and let him leave, but don’t come back after going out.
In essence, Singularity City is a large-scale AI-managed containment agency that can prevent a large number of Nago infections from influxing into the alliance’s existing order, while reducing the demand for resources from local survivors to a minimum within an acceptable range.
The restriction of only entering once is necessary, so as not to see if someone treats this place as a sanatorium and comes to eat vegetarian food for a few days if you are unhappy. How can that work?
But to be honest, even though he believed in the manager's decision and believed that such an arrangement was the best choice for those huge babies, he actually had a trace of doubt.
He really didn't know what kind of virtue Ibers was when he lived in Dawn City, but Han Shuang knew...
……
Hope Town’s former site.
The whole street was empty, with no trace of people seeing, and there was no sign of living things at all.
However, judging from the situation on the street, the people here did not leave in a hurry, and carefully searched for everything they could take away.
Obviously they didn't plan to come back here.
The town has been completely abandoned.
However, at this moment, two uninvited guests were standing at the gate of the town.
Is this village abandoned?
It should be.
What a pity, there are so many cultivated fields.Seeing that the place where he had fought before was abandoned, Xinghe felt a little sighing on his face, which was not in his dream.
The same is true for Luo Yu standing next to him, but he could understand the choices of people here.
There is nothing bad about it. Before the treatment, the field could not grow normal crops...what grows will be eroded by the mycelium of the nago.
Xinghe looked at him in confusion.
Hasn't the mother nest been destroyed?
Luo Yu nodded.
That's it, but those myceliums don't disappear out of thin air, they just degenerate from the third stage to the second stage.
Xinghe sighed.
I stomped on a cockroach to death, and the eggs were sprinkled everywhere.
Luo Yu said.
But on the plus side, at least its scale will not continue to expand. As long as you plant enough Cam trees and burn the land with synthetic oil, the remaining ash may still be used as fertilizer... just like those lands rolled by flame weeders.
Is that right... Xinghe nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly looked at him curiously and continued, "Brother, what are you looking for here?"
I happened to meet him on the airship, and he followed him without asking.
Luo Yu scratched his head.
A person...well, he can't actually be considered a human being.
Xinghe was stunned.
...What is that Ah?
Not sure where to start, Luo Yu sighed after thinking for a moment and said simply.
When I first came here, I treated that brother as a mutant, but after thinking about it, he was actually a poor person who was harmed... I want to at least apologize to it.
Maybe there are any side quests?
For example, the treasure of mutants.
If possible, it would be nice to take over as a follower.
He didn't like to team up with other players, and he prefers to explore the wasteland alone.If Xinghe hadn't insisted on thanking him for his previous help, he would have planned to come quietly alone.
He didn't know that this guy was disgusting himself as being in the way, and Xinghe was still racking his brains to help him seriously.
Do you remember its name?
Luo Yu: Didn't ask at that time.
Xinghe sighed.
That's helpless. I hope the town has been refreshed. It's hard to find an NPC to ask. Let's have a grief...why do you go to the forum to plan and ask?
Luo Yu thought for a while and shook his head and said.
Forget it, don’t bother him with such a private matter.
Perhaps this is just a small episode on the way to the 100,000 silver coins mission, or perhaps he missed a side line that might gain something.
This is the case with RPGs that cannot be archived.
Missing it means missing it.
But no matter what, he was quite satisfied with this adventure, and he miraculously survived in the end.
Although I was only a little bit dead.
Although there are no additional medals for Yisheng to pass the level, he still feels accomplished.
After all, dying on this land is the norm, and living is unusual.
Give me some time.
Looking at Luo Yu who pulled out his dagger and walked towards the town gate, Xinghe asked in a daze.
What are you doing?convenient?
Tsk, don't worry, you're waiting for me here.
He walked to the gate of the town alone and stopped. Luo Yu thought for a while and engraved a line of words in a conspicuous place with a dagger.
Because it is left to NPC.
He used human couplets.
You probably reminded the people here that day?Thank you, my friend, otherwise even if we caught up, there would probably be few people who survived.
My name is Luoyu. If you see this line of words, can you leave your name next to it?Next time I pass by here, I will come and have a look.
As soon as he engraved this line of words, Luo Yu suddenly felt a little regretful again.
He dares to say that if this is seen by other players, the next time he comes back, he will be assigned some strange transliteration names.
For example, Xiaochuanjun came here for a trip.
With a wry smile, Luo Yu thought about it and wrote later.
When I didn't say that I would see you again in the future, I'd better ask in person.
Putting away the dagger with the engraved letters, Luo Yu nodded with satisfaction, which put an end to this adventure.
When the wave this year is over, he plans to go to that tavern to take on a new task and take a look at it in a farther place.
Picking up the rifle leaning against the side, he stepped on the rut marks left by the wheels at the intersection in front of the door, and converged with the galaxy that was waiting not far away.
Two hunched mutants stood at the entrance of the subway station surrounded by five young mutant warriors. They held white flags in their hands and looked at the armored vehicles and a straight machine gun not far away, their faces filled with anxiety and panic.
The two elderly old people were priests of the Qi tribe, one of which was Gomo, and the other was named Henk, who was the representative of the ancestor sect.
Unlike the secular school, the ancestor school is one of the earliest mutants in Singularity City. Their views are undoubtedly extremely radical compared to the Singularity City a century and a half ago, but compared with the current Singular Tribe, they are undoubtedly conservative to reverse history.
Instead of hunting humans as prey, they tend to keep the part born in the pasture as animals, and the remaining free people as slaves.
Anyway, most farmers on this land do the same, and I hope there are very few villages like that of more than half of the free people in the town.
They even oppose eating people, after all, there are more nutritious foods, and they promised the guys who don't want to become mutants at least not to make them into pies... Although this promise actually makes no sense, after all, the moment they win, the residents who don't want to become mutants have actually lost all their power.
Without external interference, conservatives in any society will eventually age, and the Qi Tribe is no exception.
Although the ancestor school masters a series of advanced technologies, including birth delivery, it still cannot change the increasing number of new generations in the tribe, and the fact that secular schools that focus more on the rights of mutants have entered the power center.
However, now, the warriors in the entire Qi tribe who were given the name have been killed in battle, and the rest are the old, weak, sick and disabled, and young men who have just learned to snore.
The ancestor school, who advocated harmony with humans, gained power again.
Although it is in a sarcastic way.
...It's useless, they won't let us go.Looking at Henk who was still looking forward to the peace talks, Gomo sighed.
It is too naive to escape from the city before the fog has dissipated, but it is too naive to think that those humans will let them go.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, the former glared back fiercely.
Shut up!If it weren't for the brave idiot Gaen and you crazy guys who brought us into the ditch, how could we have fallen into the field like this now!
Gomo closed his mouth as he wished and closed his turbid pupils, because nothing was meaningless to say at this time.
Maybe it was time passed too long, and that guy had forgotten how they forced the rest of them to make a choice
Either volunteer to become a mutant or a beast on a farm.
Once they embark on this road, they can only go to dark, at least they have absolutely no chance to turn back.
The league seems to have made a decision.
An officer with a high rank walked to the front line and gave a few instructions to the officer wearing an exoskeleton.
The officer wearing an exoskeleton nodded, watching the chief walk away, then took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, lit it with a lighter.
Seeing that scene, a hint of panic appeared in Henk's eyes.
What exactly is the decision that requires smoking a cigarette first?
He hurriedly stepped forward half a step forward and shouted as he looked at the rifles that were warning to lift up.
Wait, wait a moment!You may not understand that we were actually humans before!We have all worked hard for the same goal!It's just that there's something wrong with us here, but it's not all our responsibility. For the sake of our all-time service to the Post-War Reconstruction Committee, please, we're willing to accept all your arrangements.
In order to survive, he almost lost all his dignity, and the mutant boys following him breathed gently, with struggle and hatred on his face.
However, the officer wearing an exoskeleton didn't care. He just calmly smoked the cigarette, threw it on the ground and stepped on it to the ground and waved impatiently.
Open fire.
He had given them a cigarette time to pick up the weapon and continue fighting. Since he didn't pick it up, he would die.
negotiation?
What to talk about with beasts.
The chimera armored vehicle's muzzle spewed out of the flames, and thick tracers instantly pierced the Gomo with his eyes closed.
The old guy turned into a pool of minced meat on the spot and fell to the ground without saying a word. Then he fell down Henk, who was kneeling on the ground and the group of unconvincing guys behind him.
The battle at the entrance of the subway station was over soon.
Finally, when the CG animation was finished, the players who were already ready to go, searched the guys and rushed into the subway station, and began the final cleaning work.
The VM's task panel clearly states
No remnants of the Qi tribe are left behind.
And they had planned so too, especially after seeing the great achievements of those beasts...
Who has worked hard for the same goal as you?
Kicking the bloody corpse, the player who walked nearby spitted on it with cold eyes, holding the rifle and continuing to walk forward...
……
Just as the corps were advancing towards the underground transportation network of Jinhe City from the entrances of various subway stations, the 1,000-man team under the First Corps of the Alliance had arrived in the eastern suburbs of Jinhe City.
In order to accommodate survivors rescued from the Qi Tribe and to accommodate those liberated from the church, the Alliance needed to expand the Pinecone Farm and rename the expanded Pinecone Farm to Singularity City.
There is a ready-made mind interference device there that will help those who are in captivity to integrate into human society as soon as possible.

Although both the company and the college are eager to take over the mess completely immediately, Chu Guang certainly cannot agree to them.
He didn't know what the academy was thinking. Those people like to play secret room politics, and it was irresistible what they were going to do, but Chu Guangke was very clear about the ideas of the board of directors.
Once the alliance completely takes over this settlement, everything that happens here is the alliance's internal affairs, and the board of directors can completely eliminate the responsibilities of more than a hundred years ago, and even Han Shuang becomes a job for him. At that time, they will have room to retreat if they find any trouble.
At least until the Council wiped its butts clean, Chu Guang could not have taken the fruits of the labor of the Union citizens to pay for their past mistakes.
Only by uniting one's own people can we unite others. Any union that sacrifices the interests of one's own people will always be a flash in the pan.
After all, both the offerors and the offerors know in their hearts that this good for no reason will not last long.
And things that are destined to be unsustainable.
The north gate of the Pinecone Farm.
Not long after the sign of Singularity City was erected, a group of black people appeared in the north, with a long line like a long snake.
Some people carried a bulging backpack, while others drove several double-headed ox carts. They came from the direction of Hope Town, as if they were escaping.
The centurion on duty here was named Zheng Liushu. After seeing the group of refugees, he immediately brought people to meet him.
Before he could ask, Mayor Ma Hechang, who was the leader, took the initiative to confess his identity, then grabbed his arm, and cried with tears in his mouth. The Torch Church was how the Torch Church united those mutants to persecute them.
...The land in Hope Town can no longer grow food. I heard that you are willing to take in those oppressed by the torch, so you can take us in together!
Ma Hechang actually didn't tell the truth completely. The reason why he fled here with the townspeople was not because the land contaminated by Nago could not grow food.
Although this is indeed true.
In Hope Town, only Mr. Kong’s farm and a few self-cultivated farmers are actually farming. His choice is largely a kind of speculation.
The fog outside had dissipated, and the sound of cannons in the morning stopped.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Alliance has won the conflict with the Torch Church and has become the new owner of this land.
Unlike the Torch Church, which lets the plantation plantation, the Alliance intends to rebuild Singularity City and concentrate on restoring the soil corroded by Nago with Singularity City as the center.
Hope Town is a bit far from Singularity City. When the alliance comes to poverty alleviation, what should I do if I get accomplice to be tried?
Now, it is undoubtedly the best choice to surrender.
But to be honest, Ma Hechang has no choice. He himself is a Nago addict.
If the alliance does not allow them to plant fruit on this land in the future, even if he can tolerate it, other residents may not be able to quit.
Since Hope Town is already a mess, it is best for both yourself and the villagers to sell it for a good price before it rots.
Of course, it was not easy to convince the residents of the town to leave their hometowns, and he had to waste some time to complete their ideological work.
Zheng Liushu heard him and heard it a lot, and finally waved his hand and let them go.
Although the original intention of this settlement was not prepared for them, the manager's orders were there after all
Anyone who feels that he needs to be shelter is the target of its shelter, and anyone who takes the initiative to leave here will no longer be sheltered.
Maybe when they have enough of living here, they will leave themselves.
If you think it through, go in, this settlement is actually an AI-managed shelter agency. Its function is to help rescued survivors gain the ability to support themselves, and to help those who cannot quit Nago on their own... It is best if you have the ability to quit that thing yourself, and you don't have to come here.
Looking at the survivor walking towards the gate, Zheng Liushu still reminded him out of his duty.
Hearing this sentence, many people hesitated. After a while, the crowd hesitantly raised a hand.
Is it a food here?
Zheng Liushu nodded.
It's up, but I have to work every day.
Then there was someone again immediately.
Want money?
Zheng Liushu shook his head.
Need not.
When the survivors heard that there was such a good thing, they all smiled relievedly and walked towards their future new home.
On the contrary, Mayor Ma, who had been begging for a long time, was still here and not leaving. He was holding a round package wrapped in linen and a flattering smile on his face.
To be honest, Zheng Liushu doesn't like this guy.
He didn't know what happened in Hope Town when he first came here, but he heard that most of the settlements here had cooperated with the Torch Church.
However, he didn't make things difficult for a slap man who fled, so he said in an official tone.
Is there anything else?
Ma Hechang nodded quickly and said with a smile.
Some, some, sir, I have something to offer to you!
Zheng Liushu suddenly became serious when he heard this. He thought this guy wanted to bribe him, so he immediately took a step back.
I don't want your stuff, put it away!
No, no, this must be given to you.Ma Hechang stepped forward unyieldingly and untied the package in his arms.
The moment he saw the things in the package, Zheng Liushu subconsciously held his breath, and the same was true for the soldiers next to him.
I saw that the linen was covered with a bloody head.
He frowned slightly, and he looked at Ma Hechang and asked in a serious tone.
……What do you mean?
Seeing that the adult didn't see it, Ma Hechang quickly wiped the blood from the head with his sleeve and explained.
Adult, this is the mutant's child.
Zheng Liushu was stunned for a moment, his eyebrows tightened even more.
How could you have mutant children?
Ma Hechang continued tremblingly.
It, unlike other mutants, is mixed-blood... Occasionally, there will be mutant's cubs who have more blood, just like mules born from horses and donkeys.We had allowed it to trade with us before, but now the situation is different and we have completely drawn a line with them.
The point he wanted to say was actually the last sentence.
But it seems that this head is too impactful, and he seems to have used too much force...
...Okay, we know.
Zheng Liushu glanced at the bloody head, and finally said nothing, twisting his chin at the soldier beside him.
Buried it.
The hatred between the locals and the Qi tribe he did not have the right to evaluate, but they did have the right to do it.
What's more, he is a mutant, and he is not interested in distinguishing the specific difference between a mixed-race and an unmixed race.
This is already smelly.
I guess I've been dead for a few days.
The soldier nodded and stepped forward to pick up the head.
Seeing this, Ma Hechang was stunned and said quickly.
Adult...Don't you hang it up?
Zheng Liushu replied impatiently.
We usually only hang the mastermind to show public opinion. After the corpse smells, it will be removed and burned. Is it meaningful to hang it?
Ma Hechang pointed a little, thinking that it made sense, but he was still worried and couldn't help but remind the officer in front of him.
Don’t let those people go with mercy, they will cause us so much.
Don't worry, our managers have their own arrangements.
You can make a rack, hang them up, drill a small hole on top of your head, insert the cotton core and light it, so that you can slowly burn it for a few more days.
We will advise managers.
It would be great if that shelf could be hung here... Of course, I just suggest.Feeling that the officer was a little impatient, Ma Hechang was embarrassed to ask if someone needed help here, so he quickly shut up and left.
Watching the guy go away, the soldiers on duty next to him couldn't help but tickled.
Why does this guy have so many problems? Let's just repair him a theater and place two chairs and ask him to sit on it and have fun.
His name is Yang Gaoshan, and he is also a refugee who survived the bone-chewing turmoil.
However, unlike Lao Zheng, who is already a centurion, he has been making bullets on the assembly line of the military factory, and it happened a few months ago to join the First Corps.
Maybe his relatives died in this disaster?The slightly taller soldier next to him said casually.
His name is Wu Pangfei. His original family was near Luoyeling. Later, he was arrested by the army and was rescued by the alliance and joined the army.
Yang Gaoshan looked at him incomprehensible.
But what did he do himself?Wait there?Wait until everything is over and beg us to take it in?Then point fingers at us?I'm not saying that he is not pity enough, I just want to ask him what qualifications he has to make?Did he fight with us, or did he provide us with food or ammunition?Or is he a citizen of the alliance?
He agreed to help these pity people out of morality, but he hated that guy's taken for granted face.
This does not conflict.
Zheng Liushu glanced at his two subordinates and said casually.
This is true for people. If you treat him well, he hopes you are better. If you don’t meet the standards of the saint in his mind, he will feel that your previous kindness is the archway of a prostitute.Don't worry, we didn't come here because we were willing to help people, although we helped some pity people in the end.
Whether it is to end the wasteland or the security of the alliance, it is far from anything to be helpful.
Yang Gaoshan was still a little angry.
But the pity people... I really don't think they are pity at all, let alone innocent. It seems that they have no choice, but what happened since 150 years ago that they didn't choose?If it were me, I would let them fend for themselves here. There were still mountains in our home waiting to be solved!
Zheng Liushu sighed.
You are too extreme. If our managers do this, their troubles will sooner or later become our troubles.
Yang Gaoshan said immediately.
I didn't say that the manager did not do well, I was always loyal to his decision, I just felt that these people were not worthy of saving.
There were guerrillas fighting side by side with us in Xizhou City, and there were rebels who would never surrender in the desert. The workers of Giant Rock City stood up, and what about them?They regularly provide slaves to mutants!I beg us to return the little princess to them!It seems that all this is our fault!
The only iron tower that is still resisting is from the neighboring province in the south!What kind of town mayor is so embarrassed to make requests with us on behalf of his townspeople?
Zheng Liushu didn't say anything. To be honest, he didn't like Mayor Ma very much. The veteran next to him coughed gently and said.
So we only do what we should do. The managers did not ask us to spoil them, nor did they take them back and raise them, but let them rebuild their homes here.Okay, that's all for this topic... But I still have some doubts about bionics. Is that thing really that reliable?
He was a mercenary in the Rock City in his early years. He initially helped the Alliance fight because the Alliance gave him bargaining chips. He actually joined the Alliance and transferred to the regular army because of a funeral.
He has lived in Rock City for a long time and is more concerned about the potential risks of Bionic technology than the survivors of Dawn City.
Ibers is a bionic man, and that guy has caused a lot of harm to people when he is an aristocratic accomplice.
Dragon Blood Potion is that guy’s masterpiece.
In order to achieve more awakened people and greater economic benefits, he does not hesitate to tap the awakening potential of the users at the cost of the disability rate of the users.
Until the bank of Stone and the bargaining chips it issued went bankrupt, many people were struggling to survive in a bad environment with huge loans.
Zheng Liushu thought about it and said.
That guy is not reliable, but it just fits them.
The veteran said in confusion.
Just fit?
Um.
Recalling what he heard at the work meeting before leaving, Zheng Liushu continued.
The special bionics from Kangmao Group provide them with a step-by-step life. They will get up at 6 o'clock in the morning, start working at 7 o'clock, and take an hour off for lunch at 12 o'clock, continue working until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and have two hours of reading classes after get off work, and turn off the lights and go to bed on time at 10 o'clock in the evening.They will do fixed things at a fixed time, and there will be corresponding punishments if they violate them.
Although the punishment is not serious, it is just a small dark room.
Yang Gaoshan calculated with his fingers and said in a daze.
...Why do I feel like this worksheet sounds good?
Wu Pangfei was also stunned.
Then what should they do if they work hard?Could it be that our workers are in vain to support them?
Nothing to raise?How is that possible? We are not a wishing machine. Zheng Liushu smiled and said, "We will build a railway here, supply them with the materials needed for production, and help them clean up those green things, but they also have to plant some cash crops for us. Otherwise, what do you think I am talking about doing work?"
Yang Gaoshan couldn't help asking.
But what if they are lazy?
Zheng Liushu said with a faint smile.
Don’t think that bionics can’t see this little cleverness, that guy is actually very smart.
Although they do not require their participation in management work, his superiors mentioned it at the previous work conference on Singularity City.
In order to ensure production enthusiasm, the AI called Hanshuang sets three living standards, the lowest level is basically a life-saving player, and is aimed at players who fail to meet the KPI assessment continuously.
The middle level is sufficient nutrition, while the highest level is abundant in life.
If there is a surplus in trade between Singularity and the Alliance, Frost will deduct the part used to improve productivity and purchase a portion of the consumer goods that improve life will be provided proportionally to residents of intermediate and highest living standards to encourage production.
Yang Gaoshan thought for a long time, but still couldn't help but say.
Why do I still sound a little overdone?
Zheng Liushu shrugged.
Let's see it after a while, it's too early to say this now.
This guy just thought it simple.
The survivors in this settlement are not ordinary people, but Nago addicts who will enter a state of wandering from time to time.
Among them are ten thousand Primitive men who have just been rescued from the cage.
In order to avoid the complete stagnation of production work by all people in collective withdrawal reactions, Singularity City will lift the restrictions on human use by the mind interference device to a certain extent, and plant a small amount of nagwort to supply some addicts in a gradually decreasing manner until the Alliance's Biological Institute finds a medical treatment plan.
Due to many special circumstances, the law of the alliance is not fully applied here, and they have not obtained the status of a alliance citizen.
Wu Pangfei: Is there no specific deadline?
Zheng Liushu thought about it and said.
I don’t know, at least before the troubles of Haiya Province were solved, I guess we will need such a buffer... But the manager said that if someone wants to go out from here, register his biological information and let him leave, but don’t come back after going out.
In essence, Singularity City is a large-scale AI-managed containment agency that can prevent a large number of Nago infections from influxing into the alliance’s existing order, while reducing the demand for resources from local survivors to a minimum within an acceptable range.
The restriction of only entering once is necessary, so as not to see if someone treats this place as a sanatorium and comes to eat vegetarian food for a few days if you are unhappy. How can that work?
But to be honest, even though he believed in the manager's decision and believed that such an arrangement was the best choice for those huge babies, he actually had a trace of doubt.
He really didn't know what kind of virtue Ibers was when he lived in Dawn City, but Han Shuang knew...
……
Hope Town’s former site.
The whole street was empty, with no trace of people seeing, and there was no sign of living things at all.
However, judging from the situation on the street, the people here did not leave in a hurry, and carefully searched for everything they could take away.
Obviously they didn't plan to come back here.
The town has been completely abandoned.
However, at this moment, two uninvited guests were standing at the gate of the town.
Is this village abandoned?
It should be.
What a pity, there are so many cultivated fields.Seeing that the place where he had fought before was abandoned, Xinghe felt a little sighing on his face, which was not in his dream.
The same is true for Luo Yu standing next to him, but he could understand the choices of people here.
There is nothing bad about it. Before the treatment, the field could not grow normal crops...what grows will be eroded by the mycelium of the nago.
Xinghe looked at him in confusion.
Hasn't the mother nest been destroyed?
Luo Yu nodded.
That's it, but those myceliums don't disappear out of thin air, they just degenerate from the third stage to the second stage.
Xinghe sighed.
I stomped on a cockroach to death, and the eggs were sprinkled everywhere.
Luo Yu said.
But on the plus side, at least its scale will not continue to expand. As long as you plant enough Cam trees and burn the land with synthetic oil, the remaining ash may still be used as fertilizer... just like those lands rolled by flame weeders.
Is that right... Xinghe nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly looked at him curiously and continued, "Brother, what are you looking for here?"
I happened to meet him on the airship, and he followed him without asking.
Luo Yu scratched his head.
A person...well, he can't actually be considered a human being.
Xinghe was stunned.
...What is that Ah?
Not sure where to start, Luo Yu sighed after thinking for a moment and said simply.
When I first came here, I treated that brother as a mutant, but after thinking about it, he was actually a poor person who was harmed... I want to at least apologize to it.
Maybe there are any side quests?
For example, the treasure of mutants.
If possible, it would be nice to take over as a follower.
He didn't like to team up with other players, and he prefers to explore the wasteland alone.If Xinghe hadn't insisted on thanking him for his previous help, he would have planned to come quietly alone.
He didn't know that this guy was disgusting himself as being in the way, and Xinghe was still racking his brains to help him seriously.
Do you remember its name?
Luo Yu: Didn't ask at that time.
Xinghe sighed.
That's helpless. I hope the town has been refreshed. It's hard to find an NPC to ask. Let's have a grief...why do you go to the forum to plan and ask?
Luo Yu thought for a while and shook his head and said.
Forget it, don’t bother him with such a private matter.
Perhaps this is just a small episode on the way to the 100,000 silver coins mission, or perhaps he missed a side line that might gain something.
This is the case with RPGs that cannot be archived.
Missing it means missing it.
But no matter what, he was quite satisfied with this adventure, and he miraculously survived in the end.
Although I was only a little bit dead.
Although there are no additional medals for Yisheng to pass the level, he still feels accomplished.
After all, dying on this land is the norm, and living is unusual.
Give me some time.
Looking at Luo Yu who pulled out his dagger and walked towards the town gate, Xinghe asked in a daze.
What are you doing?convenient?
Tsk, don't worry, you're waiting for me here.
He walked to the gate of the town alone and stopped. Luo Yu thought for a while and engraved a line of words in a conspicuous place with a dagger.
Because it is left to NPC.
He used human couplets.
You probably reminded the people here that day?Thank you, my friend, otherwise even if we caught up, there would probably be few people who survived.
My name is Luoyu. If you see this line of words, can you leave your name next to it?Next time I pass by here, I will come and have a look.
As soon as he engraved this line of words, Luo Yu suddenly felt a little regretful again.
He dares to say that if this is seen by other players, the next time he comes back, he will be assigned some strange transliteration names.
For example, Xiaochuanjun came here for a trip.
With a wry smile, Luo Yu thought about it and wrote later.
When I didn't say that I would see you again in the future, I'd better ask in person.
Putting away the dagger with the engraved letters, Luo Yu nodded with satisfaction, which put an end to this adventure.
When the wave this year is over, he plans to go to that tavern to take on a new task and take a look at it in a farther place.
Picking up the rifle leaning against the side, he stepped on the rut marks left by the wheels at the intersection in front of the door, and converged with the galaxy that was waiting not far away.
