Not long after the big rat riding a motorcycle and taking a group of mouse little brothers, a pioneering team composed of 500 refugees had been transferred from the temporary shelter to Changjiu Farm.
There are about 1,500 refugees stranded in temporary shelters.
Now winter is coming to an end, and the snow is slowly melting and seeping into the soil.
They cannot stay in a crowded and dangerous building forever, as it is neither safe nor hygienic, especially in spring, it is easy to become a breeding ground for nourishing bacteria.
Walking in front of the refugee team, Jiuli found Luka who was waiting at the east gate and shook hands with him.
I delayed the road for a while and made you wait for a long time.
Luca said gently.
It’s okay, it’s snowing all the way, and it’s not easy for you to come here. I feel relieved when I see your safety.
After a simple greeting, Jiuli was straight to the point.
Where do we start?here?Or somewhere else?
Last year, their camp was destroyed by a blizzard at the east gate, and the wreckage left behind can still be seen on the ground.
Old Luca looked at Jiuli and said.
The manager’s instructions: Your home is at the west gate, and the most urgent task now is to solve the housing problem.Bricks, cement and wood have been sent to the construction site, and there will be a dedicated person to guide you on how to construct.After the house is built, we will assign you the task of spring plowing.
The land is allocated by households, with one household set up for two families, and 10 mu of land is allocated. Each child in the family will be given an additional 1 mu.Those who are over 16 years old will be given 3 acres of unmarried people according to their heads, and after they get married, they will set up a new household and re-equip them with 10 acres of land.
The land rights belong to Changjiu Farm collectively, they are not allowed to be transferred or leased. They are investigated every quarter. Violators will be expelled from household registration and confiscated the land.
In the first three years, we will provide you with seeds and fertilizers, and you only need to pay half of the harvest to us in return.After the three-year period, the land is not abandoned, and the land allocated to the households will be entirely taken care of by yourself. The harvest only needs to be paid 20% of the food, and it will be fine whether it is kept by yourself or sold to the granary.
The refugees whispered, and everyone's faces were filled with excitement.
Provide seeds?
And fertilizer!
It was actually only half of the harvest... This was incredible.
Not to mention them, Luca himself found it incredible.
In the wasteland, it is already generous to allow 20% of the crops to be retained.
However, the manager not only allowed them to keep half of the crops, but also generously stated that they would provide them with seeds, fertilizers and guidance from professionals in the first three years.
The reason why refugees are refugees is because they are rootless duckweeds.On the one hand, the grain grown on the land is, and on the other hand, we need to use land and work to tie them together with us, so as not to think about moistening the big things.
Each household contracts 10 acres of land. According to the statistics of 500 farmers, they can plant at least 5,000 acres.These 5,000 acres of land not only make more than 500 families live well, but also can provide food for thousands of people, allowing another part of the refugees staying in the factory to fill their stomachs and develop production.
The remaining 25,000 acres are partly run by collective farms and are mainly cultivated by prisoners of war.The other part is contracted and operated by the residents of the shelter, and the produced grain is purchased uniformly by the granary.
The above are the original words of the manager.
Luca did not fully understand, but she had a new understanding of the kindness of that adult.
He hopes from the bottom of his heart that these miserable people can live a good life.
Such a kind heart is really rare in the wasteland.
After settling down on Jiuli, handing over the tools and building materials to their hands, Luca handed over the remaining work to the foreman and the guards, and returned to the farm alone.
In the office, the guard captain wrench was waiting for him.
At present, Changjiu Farm has insufficient staff, especially in logistics.
In addition to standing guard, the guards occasionally have to take on the work of communicating with refugees.
It's the same as the manager.
This is a stopgap solution and reform will be carried out later.
After all, for refugees, a straight black uniform and a large-caliber rifle on their backs are far more convincing than a piece of paper with words at any time.
To put it bluntly.
Literacy education has only reached its primary stage, and most people don’t even know a lot of words and cannot remember the rules after a long time.
For them, the law is far less than a verbal order from the manager wearing power armor.
This feels safer than anything else.
At least in Qingquan City, the wasteland people recognize this.
The transportation route to Yumu District has been restored. Currently, the transportation capacity and human resources are tight. Only 500 to 800 logs can be supplied in the farm every day... This is without affecting the land reclamation work.
The manager once said that land reclamation work is the first priority. I will arrange for people to deal with these woods and just hand them over to me after they are transported to the farm.
Luca paused for a moment and continued in a serious tone.
In addition, the brick factory has prioritized production capacity to Changjiu Farm. We need to build at least 500 houses by the end of the month, and ensure that the three collective dormitories in the farm are completed, so as to completely transfer the refugees in the temporary shelter here.
The wrench hesitated for a moment and said.
Is such a short time enough?
They also need to prepare for spring plowing, and it may be difficult to free up a lot of people.
However, Luca's answer was beyond his expectations.
At first I also thought this task was probably difficult to complete, but the diligence of the shelter residents exceeded our expectations... The land reclamation task they currently undertake has been completed by one fifth, and the remaining tasks can be completed in a week at most.
The manager said that if the situation is optimistic, they can solve another 10,000 acres of wasteland before the 20th.
Including the 10,000 mu of land reclamation task undertaken by the prisoners of war, there is no problem in completing the 30,000 mu of land reclamation task before spring plowing.
In this way, all the saved labor can be involved in the construction of houses, and the progress of resettlement of refugees can be accelerated.
As he said that, Luca expanded a picture.
There is a brick and wood structure on it, with a square overall shape, which looks ordinary, but there are all designs.
This is a terrace house designed by the shelter residents. Each household has a 36-square-meter structure, a mixed brick and wood structure. The required building materials are not large, and the warmth performance and safety are quite reliable.
The wrench stared at the drawings for a while, and although he didn't understand them very much, he intuitively felt that the bricks and cement used in this kind of house were indeed much less than those brick houses in the farm.
After a long time, he couldn't help but sigh.
Send the highest respect and gratitude to these respectable people.
Luca nodded with emotion.
We do have to thank them, they have given too much.
War, natural disasters, famine, disease...
Even compared to the hardest days in the past, this year's cold winter is undoubtedly called hell mode.
Without those blue coats, let alone those refugees from other places, there are probably few people in the northern suburbs who can survive this winter.
No one died of hunger this winter, and even had a wealthy New Year.
This is almost unimaginable.
Of course, for Luca himself, his thanks are much simpler.
If it weren't for the manager's bargaining chip, I'd probably have died at the gun of a guard.
He doesn't understand much of the truth, and he doesn't even understand what the manager said to him: stand up and don't kneel.
Luca only knows one thing, he saves his life.
Then this life is his.
……
night.
The caravan heading towards Giant Rock City settled in an abandoned office building.
They cleared the nibblers from the hall to the corridor and came to the second floor of the office building.
Tied a trip rope at the exit of the safety passage, and the caravan guards responsible for escorting Qian Lai and others back to the Stone City walked to Xu Shun and Fang Chang and said to the two of them.
This is our safe house on the edge of the Fourth Ring Road, where we will rest for a night and continue to rush after dawn.
His name is Luo Guang, and he has been working for Liste for five or six years. He is considered an old employee of the caravan.
The other two guards worked for two years. The man with a submachine gun on his chest was named Wang Zhong, and the person with a bandage on his right arm was named Kaiya. These were asked by Fang Chang from Xu Shun.
Before coming here, the group was ambushed by a group of raiders. The unlucky guy named Kaiya was unfortunately shot in his right arm.
Those goblins hidden in the ruins always pop up unexpectedly, and they fire without saying a word, without hiding their bare desire at all.
Everyone present had a look of shock, only one person had a normal expression on his face, and he was just as good as everyone else.
That person is Fang Chang.
Isn’t it common sense for RPG games to encounter robbers when you are in business?
The production team asks you to bring a gun, which will naturally give you some use.
Do not six of the basics.
He didn't find it strange at all, but instead thought that the wave of people was too naughty.
Safe house?
Xu Shun glanced around the corners of the wall and the mutations formed annually, and did not feel that there was no place where it was safe.
Qian Lai, who was standing aside, grinned and said.
Don't be nervous, those chewers won't jump out of the ground, and even if there is a small hatching room on the roof, there will not be a lot of them suddenly appear.As long as it is used properly, the chewingers wandering in the corridor will become our cover.
There were at least hundreds of chewingers in the lobby on the first floor. When they came up, they only killed more than a dozen, and there was still a bunch of them left.
If any raiders intend to attack them, they must clean up the nibblers along the way from the hall to the security passage, just like them.
Even if the plunderers do not fire a single shot and execute those chewers in close combat, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground will be heard by the people on the second floor.
As long as you keep an eye on the exit of the safe passage, you can basically ensure that everything is foolproof.
Qian Lai patiently said to these two novices who had never traveled far away: It is dangerous to light an open fire here. We may have to spend a night in the dark. Have you brought dry food?
Xu Shun said.
Bring it.
Qian Lai nodded.
That's good, there is no place to cook for you here.
The caravans' dry food was nutritional paste. Although there were wheat cakes, they were frozen hard and no one wanted to eat it.
Xu Shun took out the steamed buns from his arms, then reached into his backpack and took out the pickles in the jar.
He cut the steamed bun with a knife, poured some pickles on it, then stuffed them into his mouth and took a bite.
The caravan guards around him looked at him curiously and whispered in a low voice.
Why is this bread white?
Weird food.
I've seen it in their market... But it's too expensive to sell, and a piece of cake actually costs 4 chips!
Hearing this, the other two guards showed surprise expressions on their faces, and the eyes of Xu Shun also showed a hint of envy, as if they were looking at a rich man.
4 chips per meal!
This is too luxurious!
Fang Chang was eating buns, which was quickly dealt with. He walked to the window and sat down. He took out the small notebook in his pocket and took a look at it in the faint moonlight outside.
There are dense small words written on it, all of which are his experiences along the way. He plans to update it to the forum after a while after it is offline.
The situation in Qingquan City is completely different from that in the northern suburbs.
Along the way, they encountered at least two attacks by the raiders.
The first time was five people, who shot at them with an iron pipe rifle, but three were quickly killed, and the remaining two ran away in panic.
The second time there were a little more people, and there were twelve seen, which was as large as a team of ten people.
Kaia, who was sitting against the wall, treated the wound with alcohol and whispered in a low voice.
These dogs say it!A guy who bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong!
Xu Shun looked at him and asked.
How come there are so many raiders?
Kaia muttered: There are empty buildings everywhere, maybe some windows hide their eyes, and the places where bullets cannot be hit will not prevent the eyes from looking.Eighty-most from the moment we entered the city, they set their sights on us.
Xu Shun suddenly said alertly.
If they gather around...
Kaia chuckled.
Let's relax, not all predators will become like the chewing bone tribe, just as not all cancer cells can turn into tumors in the end.At least one-third of the plunderers were mercenaries before, either killed their employers or harmed their companions. They could not return to the Rock City, and could not muster up the courage to start a new life. In the end, they simply became robbers without stopping.How capable do you expect such a scum to have?
Wang Zhong, who was sitting aside, interrupted and said: We are lucky. We all encounter small business transactions. If we do big business, it will still be troublesome.
Xu Shun: ...What does it mean?
That's what it means, I used tweezers to pinch out a bullet, Kaia swayed it in front of him, and said with a grinning teeth, "The steel ball is almost 6mm... Thank God, if it's a lead bullet, my arm will probably be ruined."
Wang Zhong laughed and joked.
That's right to change a mechanical arm.
Kaia rolled her eyes.
Come on, I can't afford it.
That kind of expensive equipment is not something that people like him dare to imagine.
Lister and the vast majority of people here have temporary employment relationships, and only a few people can become core employees and serve for the caravan for life, which is also the driving force behind their struggle.
Looking at the subtitles appearing intermittently on the VM, Fang Chang thought for a long time and continued to write a stroke on the small notebook with the moonlight.
... Mercenaries are a very common profession in Giant Rock City, and most of the people who work in this business are poor families.
At the same time, the private armed market with severe oversupply has led to extremely inversion of the mercenary industry. Most mercenaries must risk their lives to earn less rewards to make ends meet, which is also the root cause of the chaos in Qingquan City...
At least one.
Close the notebook in his hand.
Fang Chang was planning to go offline, but for some reason, he suddenly had a vague intuition in his heart.
It's like being targeted by something.
He inserted his pen into his pocket and his long hand unconsciously touched the mechanical composite bow leaning against the wall.
After awakening, he has 7 points of perception.
Although it is not high compared to perception players, it is 140% intuitive compared to ordinary people.
Coupled with the experience accumulated in combat, his actual perception of danger is not weaker than the low-level perception system Cute.
Noticed the movements in his hands, Luo Guang cast inquiring eyes at him.
Have you discovered anything?
Fang Chang couldn't understand what he was asking, but he could guess at his expression, so he nodded silently.
The three guards and Xu Shun on the side immediately became alert and clenched the weapons in their hands, while Qian Lai hid in a safe place.
He is self-aware of his combat power, and he also believes that these people can successfully deal with the plunderers without taking action.
Everyone was quietly on guard.
And at this moment, Fang Chang's hand had already moved.
He raised his mechanical compound bow, and an explosion arrow was pressed on the bowstring. After a few silent countdowns, he shot a clean arrow at the window opposite the corridor.
Across a distance of dozens of meters, the arrow exploded with a bang of fire as soon as it shot out of the window, and the steel balls sandwiched in the paper shell flew around. Soon, a miserable wail and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from outside the window.
Enemy attack!
It's a raider!
Kaia chased towards the window directly opposite, while the other two looked at the corridor and the doors of the security passage.
If you don’t take the elevator, it is the only way up there.
The raiders downstairs immediately rushed down from below when they heard the exchange of fire.
Luo Guang, who was standing at the entrance of the corridor, held a submachine gun in his hand and shot at the raiders who were rushing in. The two were killed on the spot, while the other one was lucky enough to hide behind the cover and tried to fight back. However, without firing two shots, an arrow was inserted into his forehead, and his pupils fell backwards.
Xu Shungang aimed at the goal and prepared to shoot, Fang Chang had already put away the compound bow.
The battle is over.
There are still three minions who didn't come up!
Kaia, who was standing by the window, raised the rifle in his hand and shot twice at the escaped back. Seeing that he could not get it, he took the gun back and spat.
Damn, let these dogs run away!
Carefully approached the entrance and exit of the security passage. After Luo Guang confirmed that the plunderers had retreated, he squatted down to check the body.
...The same group of people we met during the day are probably followed by us.
Kaia couldn't help but curse.
What do these idiots want to do?
Wang Zhong smiled and joked: Maybe he was so hungry.
Everyone chuckled a few times.
Although it was a surprise, it still made everyone nervous.
Luo Guang patted Kaia on the shoulder.
There is still a long way to go tomorrow, and you will probably arrive at the Rock City at noon.I'll sleep for a while and come to change your shift in the middle of the night.
Kaia gave him a reliable look.
OK, boss.
Fang Chang returned to the window and sat down. After confirming that the crisis was lifted, he calmly glanced at the notebook, then stuffed it back into his pocket, closed his eyes and brewed sleepiness, and was about to go offline.
Xu Shun walked to Fang Chang and sat down.
The manager of course explained to him that when his residents sleep, they must do a good job of vigil and not let anyone get close.
Luo Guang glanced at Fang Chang with his eyes closed, then looked at Xu Shun sitting next to him, and asked in a low voice.
Is he asleep?
Xu Shun nodded and said.
Yes.
According to the agreement, Fang Chang would come to change his shift around 3 a.m., and he would not wake up during this period.
Luo Guang grinned at the corner of his mouth and continued in a low voice, I was about to tell him that those two arrows were shooting beautifully.
Among the mercenaries in the Stone City, if they can choose, few people will use bows and arrows and crossbows.After all, the output of this weapon is unstable, and the maintenance difficulty is much greater than that of the gun.
Only some awakened people, considering their upper limit, will choose weapons that can better play to their physical advantages.
However, most of these are thrown objects.
For example, flying knives and javelins, and grenades, these three are the most common.
Although he is not as wise as the captain Han Long, Luo Guang is already sure that this sleeping master is an awakened person!
Xu Shun nodded and said.
I will convey it when he wakes up.
Luo Guang made a gesture of no problem, then covered his hat on his face, leaned against the wall, and snored in a short while.
The room became quiet.
It seemed as if the previous battle did not exist.
Xu Shun glanced at the VM.
There is no signal when you walk here, and all you can find is the short-distance signal sent from the Fangchang device.
The edge of the Fourth Ring Road... If you can walk to the Rock City tomorrow, the location here should be stuck in the middle.
Xu Shun muttered in her heart and made a mark on the map.
The nearby area can be used as a transit station for signals, and caravans from the northern suburbs to Jushi City can also settle here.
However, there are activities of plunderers around, so you must be cautious.
……
No words all night.
The next morning, the group continued on the road.
As he got closer and closer to the Rock City, Fang Chang unconsciously accelerated his pace, and the excitement in his heart was unspeakable.
Always live in the huge rock city with a concentrated official website!
The largest survivor settlement in Qingquan City!
Soon, he will use his eyes to confirm what kind of surprise the game production team has prepared for the players!
Turning over a corner of the street and standing on a straight twelve-lane elevated road, the excitement on the long face was gradually replaced by shock.
A towering huge wall, as high as twenty stories, stands between two buildings that reach the sky like a dam.
The power of the giant came to his face.
Even if it is one kilometer away, you can clearly feel it!
Seeing that huge wall is equivalent to seeing the giant stone city.The road ahead will be much easier, Qian Lai's face showed a relieved smile. Finally, there is a warm mattress to sleep. You can live in my house. Although it is not big, the environment is definitely much better than that of a hotel!
Also shocked by the scene in front of him, Xu Shun couldn't help but speak.
How many tons of cement does this take?
Qian Lai said with a smile.
Who knows this? And it's not all cement inside. Maybe some garbage or discarded concrete blocks are mixed, but in short, there is some history.This huge wall is mainly used to deal with the threat of alien species and the "wave", but to be honest, the wave has not threatened the corner of the rock city for a long time.
Xu Shun: Incredible!
It's incredible, but I heard that this settlement was built in the form of Ideal City...but the specifications are far from the same.
Speaking of this, Qian Lai, who squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, paused for a moment, and a hint of yearning was brought to the huge wall.
I hope to visit Ideal City one day.
Xu Shun: ...Ideal City?
Qian Lai: Well, our boss has been there once and said that it was the closest place on the entire wasteland to the pre-war society... Although I bet, he didn't know what pre-war society was like.
Xu Shun doesn't understand very much.
For him, who grew up in the northern suburbs, it was a very vague concept before the war.
He only heard that people in that era had endless honey, endless milk, and even clean water that could even throw it away.
The series of treasures such as cans, glass bottles and other treasures they picked up from the wasteland were garbage that no one wanted in that era, and no one would take a look at them.
On the contrary, those daunting tall buildings are treasures that they flock to.
Everything about the prosperity era seems to be completely reversed.
Fang Chang no longer cared about watching the subtitles, put the headphones handed over to him by the manager and took more than a dozen photos of them excitedly at the Stone City.
Although the photos cannot be transmitted back here, it doesn't matter.
He can first exist in the VM's album!
After all, this is the opportunity he exchanged for 250 silver coins, so he can't be wasted.
After he goes back, he has to take these photos and do some good work!
There are about 1,500 refugees stranded in temporary shelters.
Now winter is coming to an end, and the snow is slowly melting and seeping into the soil.
They cannot stay in a crowded and dangerous building forever, as it is neither safe nor hygienic, especially in spring, it is easy to become a breeding ground for nourishing bacteria.
Walking in front of the refugee team, Jiuli found Luka who was waiting at the east gate and shook hands with him.

If it weren't for the manager's bargaining chip, I'd probably have died at the gun of a guard.
He doesn't understand much of the truth, and he doesn't even understand what the manager said to him: stand up and don't kneel.

Then this life is his.
……
night.
The caravan heading towards Giant Rock City settled in an abandoned office building.
They cleared the nibblers from the hall to the corridor and came to the second floor of the office building.
Tied a trip rope at the exit of the safety passage, and the caravan guards responsible for escorting Qian Lai and others back to the Stone City walked to Xu Shun and Fang Chang and said to the two of them.
This is our safe house on the edge of the Fourth Ring Road, where we will rest for a night and continue to rush after dawn.
His name is Luo Guang, and he has been working for Liste for five or six years. He is considered an old employee of the caravan.
The other two guards worked for two years. The man with a submachine gun on his chest was named Wang Zhong, and the person with a bandage on his right arm was named Kaiya. These were asked by Fang Chang from Xu Shun.

There were at least hundreds of chewingers in the lobby on the first floor. When they came up, they only killed more than a dozen, and there was still a bunch of them left.
If any raiders intend to attack them, they must clean up the nibblers along the way from the hall to the security passage, just like them.
Even if the plunderers do not fire a single shot and execute those chewers in close combat, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground will be heard by the people on the second floor.
As long as you keep an eye on the exit of the safe passage, you can basically ensure that everything is foolproof.
Qian Lai patiently said to these two novices who had never traveled far away: It is dangerous to light an open fire here. We may have to spend a night in the dark. Have you brought dry food?
Xu Shun said.
Bring it.
Qian Lai nodded.
That's good, there is no place to cook for you here.
The caravans' dry food was nutritional paste. Although there were wheat cakes, they were frozen hard and no one wanted to eat it.
Xu Shun took out the steamed buns from his arms, then reached into his backpack and took out the pickles in the jar.
He cut the steamed bun with a knife, poured some pickles on it, then stuffed them into his mouth and took a bite.
The caravan guards around him looked at him curiously and whispered in a low voice.
Why is this bread white?
Weird food.
I've seen it in their market... But it's too expensive to sell, and a piece of cake actually costs 4 chips!
Hearing this, the other two guards showed surprise expressions on their faces, and the eyes of Xu Shun also showed a hint of envy, as if they were looking at a rich man.
4 chips per meal!
This is too luxurious!
Fang Chang was eating buns, which was quickly dealt with. He walked to the window and sat down. He took out the small notebook in his pocket and took a look at it in the faint moonlight outside.
There are dense small words written on it, all of which are his experiences along the way. He plans to update it to the forum after a while after it is offline.
The situation in Qingquan City is completely different from that in the northern suburbs.
Along the way, they encountered at least two attacks by the raiders.
The first time was five people, who shot at them with an iron pipe rifle, but three were quickly killed, and the remaining two ran away in panic.
The second time there were a little more people, and there were twelve seen, which was as large as a team of ten people.
Kaia, who was sitting against the wall, treated the wound with alcohol and whispered in a low voice.
These dogs say it!A guy who bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong!
Xu Shun looked at him and asked.
How come there are so many raiders?
Kaia muttered: There are empty buildings everywhere, maybe some windows hide their eyes, and the places where bullets cannot be hit will not prevent the eyes from looking.Eighty-most from the moment we entered the city, they set their sights on us.
Xu Shun suddenly said alertly.
If they gather around...
Kaia chuckled.
Let's relax, not all predators will become like the chewing bone tribe, just as not all cancer cells can turn into tumors in the end.At least one-third of the plunderers were mercenaries before, either killed their employers or harmed their companions. They could not return to the Rock City, and could not muster up the courage to start a new life. In the end, they simply became robbers without stopping.How capable do you expect such a scum to have?
Wang Zhong, who was sitting aside, interrupted and said: We are lucky. We all encounter small business transactions. If we do big business, it will still be troublesome.
Xu Shun: ...What does it mean?
That's what it means, I used tweezers to pinch out a bullet, Kaia swayed it in front of him, and said with a grinning teeth, "The steel ball is almost 6mm... Thank God, if it's a lead bullet, my arm will probably be ruined."
Wang Zhong laughed and joked.
That's right to change a mechanical arm.
Kaia rolled her eyes.
Come on, I can't afford it.
That kind of expensive equipment is not something that people like him dare to imagine.
Lister and the vast majority of people here have temporary employment relationships, and only a few people can become core employees and serve for the caravan for life, which is also the driving force behind their struggle.
Looking at the subtitles appearing intermittently on the VM, Fang Chang thought for a long time and continued to write a stroke on the small notebook with the moonlight.
... Mercenaries are a very common profession in Giant Rock City, and most of the people who work in this business are poor families.
At the same time, the private armed market with severe oversupply has led to extremely inversion of the mercenary industry. Most mercenaries must risk their lives to earn less rewards to make ends meet, which is also the root cause of the chaos in Qingquan City...
At least one.
Close the notebook in his hand.
Fang Chang was planning to go offline, but for some reason, he suddenly had a vague intuition in his heart.
It's like being targeted by something.
He inserted his pen into his pocket and his long hand unconsciously touched the mechanical composite bow leaning against the wall.
After awakening, he has 7 points of perception.
Although it is not high compared to perception players, it is 140% intuitive compared to ordinary people.
Coupled with the experience accumulated in combat, his actual perception of danger is not weaker than the low-level perception system Cute.
Noticed the movements in his hands, Luo Guang cast inquiring eyes at him.
Have you discovered anything?
Fang Chang couldn't understand what he was asking, but he could guess at his expression, so he nodded silently.
The three guards and Xu Shun on the side immediately became alert and clenched the weapons in their hands, while Qian Lai hid in a safe place.
He is self-aware of his combat power, and he also believes that these people can successfully deal with the plunderers without taking action.
Everyone was quietly on guard.
And at this moment, Fang Chang's hand had already moved.
He raised his mechanical compound bow, and an explosion arrow was pressed on the bowstring. After a few silent countdowns, he shot a clean arrow at the window opposite the corridor.
Across a distance of dozens of meters, the arrow exploded with a bang of fire as soon as it shot out of the window, and the steel balls sandwiched in the paper shell flew around. Soon, a miserable wail and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from outside the window.
Enemy attack!
It's a raider!
Kaia chased towards the window directly opposite, while the other two looked at the corridor and the doors of the security passage.
If you don’t take the elevator, it is the only way up there.
The raiders downstairs immediately rushed down from below when they heard the exchange of fire.
Luo Guang, who was standing at the entrance of the corridor, held a submachine gun in his hand and shot at the raiders who were rushing in. The two were killed on the spot, while the other one was lucky enough to hide behind the cover and tried to fight back. However, without firing two shots, an arrow was inserted into his forehead, and his pupils fell backwards.
Xu Shungang aimed at the goal and prepared to shoot, Fang Chang had already put away the compound bow.
The battle is over.
There are still three minions who didn't come up!
Kaia, who was standing by the window, raised the rifle in his hand and shot twice at the escaped back. Seeing that he could not get it, he took the gun back and spat.
Damn, let these dogs run away!
Carefully approached the entrance and exit of the security passage. After Luo Guang confirmed that the plunderers had retreated, he squatted down to check the body.
...The same group of people we met during the day are probably followed by us.
Kaia couldn't help but curse.
What do these idiots want to do?
Wang Zhong smiled and joked: Maybe he was so hungry.
Everyone chuckled a few times.
Although it was a surprise, it still made everyone nervous.
Luo Guang patted Kaia on the shoulder.
There is still a long way to go tomorrow, and you will probably arrive at the Rock City at noon.I'll sleep for a while and come to change your shift in the middle of the night.
Kaia gave him a reliable look.
OK, boss.
Fang Chang returned to the window and sat down. After confirming that the crisis was lifted, he calmly glanced at the notebook, then stuffed it back into his pocket, closed his eyes and brewed sleepiness, and was about to go offline.
Xu Shun walked to Fang Chang and sat down.
The manager of course explained to him that when his residents sleep, they must do a good job of vigil and not let anyone get close.
Luo Guang glanced at Fang Chang with his eyes closed, then looked at Xu Shun sitting next to him, and asked in a low voice.
Is he asleep?
Xu Shun nodded and said.
Yes.
According to the agreement, Fang Chang would come to change his shift around 3 a.m., and he would not wake up during this period.
Luo Guang grinned at the corner of his mouth and continued in a low voice, I was about to tell him that those two arrows were shooting beautifully.
Among the mercenaries in the Stone City, if they can choose, few people will use bows and arrows and crossbows.After all, the output of this weapon is unstable, and the maintenance difficulty is much greater than that of the gun.
Only some awakened people, considering their upper limit, will choose weapons that can better play to their physical advantages.
However, most of these are thrown objects.
For example, flying knives and javelins, and grenades, these three are the most common.
Although he is not as wise as the captain Han Long, Luo Guang is already sure that this sleeping master is an awakened person!
Xu Shun nodded and said.
I will convey it when he wakes up.
Luo Guang made a gesture of no problem, then covered his hat on his face, leaned against the wall, and snored in a short while.
The room became quiet.
It seemed as if the previous battle did not exist.
Xu Shun glanced at the VM.
There is no signal when you walk here, and all you can find is the short-distance signal sent from the Fangchang device.
The edge of the Fourth Ring Road... If you can walk to the Rock City tomorrow, the location here should be stuck in the middle.
Xu Shun muttered in her heart and made a mark on the map.
The nearby area can be used as a transit station for signals, and caravans from the northern suburbs to Jushi City can also settle here.
However, there are activities of plunderers around, so you must be cautious.
……
No words all night.
The next morning, the group continued on the road.
As he got closer and closer to the Rock City, Fang Chang unconsciously accelerated his pace, and the excitement in his heart was unspeakable.
Always live in the huge rock city with a concentrated official website!
The largest survivor settlement in Qingquan City!
Soon, he will use his eyes to confirm what kind of surprise the game production team has prepared for the players!
Turning over a corner of the street and standing on a straight twelve-lane elevated road, the excitement on the long face was gradually replaced by shock.
A towering huge wall, as high as twenty stories, stands between two buildings that reach the sky like a dam.
The power of the giant came to his face.
Even if it is one kilometer away, you can clearly feel it!
Seeing that huge wall is equivalent to seeing the giant stone city.The road ahead will be much easier, Qian Lai's face showed a relieved smile. Finally, there is a warm mattress to sleep. You can live in my house. Although it is not big, the environment is definitely much better than that of a hotel!
Also shocked by the scene in front of him, Xu Shun couldn't help but speak.
How many tons of cement does this take?
Qian Lai said with a smile.
Who knows this? And it's not all cement inside. Maybe some garbage or discarded concrete blocks are mixed, but in short, there is some history.This huge wall is mainly used to deal with the threat of alien species and the "wave", but to be honest, the wave has not threatened the corner of the rock city for a long time.
Xu Shun: Incredible!
It's incredible, but I heard that this settlement was built in the form of Ideal City...but the specifications are far from the same.
Speaking of this, Qian Lai, who squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, paused for a moment, and a hint of yearning was brought to the huge wall.
I hope to visit Ideal City one day.
Xu Shun: ...Ideal City?
Qian Lai: Well, our boss has been there once and said that it was the closest place on the entire wasteland to the pre-war society... Although I bet, he didn't know what pre-war society was like.
Xu Shun doesn't understand very much.
For him, who grew up in the northern suburbs, it was a very vague concept before the war.
He only heard that people in that era had endless honey, endless milk, and even clean water that could even throw it away.
The series of treasures such as cans, glass bottles and other treasures they picked up from the wasteland were garbage that no one wanted in that era, and no one would take a look at them.
On the contrary, those daunting tall buildings are treasures that they flock to.
Everything about the prosperity era seems to be completely reversed.
Fang Chang no longer cared about watching the subtitles, put the headphones handed over to him by the manager and took more than a dozen photos of them excitedly at the Stone City.
Although the photos cannot be transmitted back here, it doesn't matter.
He can first exist in the VM's album!
After all, this is the opportunity he exchanged for 250 silver coins, so he can't be wasted.
After he goes back, he has to take these photos and do some good work!
