Eighty kilometers east of Ruigu City.
The camp of the enterprise's long-distance team.
The rolling thunder floating in the distance made the soldiers from the East Coast stop their work and stop to look west.
What's that sound?
Thunder?
Not like...
It sounds like something exploded.
It was strange. When I was in Shuguang City, I specifically asked about the caravans coming from the west, but I didn’t hear that there was a war nearby.
The soldiers whispered.
The center of the camp, the entrance to the tent.
Standing next to Captain Yunsong, the logistics officer Hudding looked slightly nervous.He often travels around the world and is extremely sensitive to danger intuition.
He knew very well that the sound was definitely not thunder or something.
Was that a nuclear bomb just now?
Yunsong's brows frowned slightly.
Not clear.
There is nothing scary about nuclear bombs, they are just a cost-effective weapon, and there are many weapons on the wasteland that are more powerful than it.
What really made him care about was the power of the sound.
According to his experience, the equivalent of its explosion was at least ten tons.
Regardless of whether it is a nuclear weapon or not, this power is enough to make them alert.
However, strangely, according to the information they investigated in Shuguang City, from Qingquan City to the east to Luoxia Province, there should be no other region's power.
At most, there are only a few small survivors in scattered areas.
Although the number of people is not small, it obviously does not have the ability to create such weapons.
Hudding whispered.
I suggest changing the direction of progress. Before entering Luoxia Province, we should try our best to avoid participating in regional conflicts...
Yun Song pondered for a while and nodded.
Um.
……
The northwest side of Ruigu City.
The camp just below the Heart of Steel.
Raycheer, sitting in the tent, had a gloomy face like a cloud outside the tent.
Especially when he heard that Vito, the most powerful hunter under his tent, died in battle and died humiliatedly under the enemy's artillery, he clenched his fists angrily.
This group of bed bugs hiding from the east...
When they caught those guys, he vowed to torture them with the cruelest punishment until they shed the last drop of blood and swallowed their last breath.
At this time, the curtain was lifted.
The guard who walked into the tent saluted and interrupted his thoughts.
Adult, the officer of the General Staff is outside.
Hearing this sentence, Raychere's expression froze slightly. It took him three or five seconds to speak slowly.
Invite him in.
yes!
As he watched the guard turn and leave, Raychel sighed lightly and slowly relaxed his tense shoulders.
The parachute was not found.
The half-dead employee of the company also ran away.
Not only that, I have also lost two marine teams and a reconnaissance team composed of three awakened people.
At this time, the General Staff sent someone over, and what he planned to do was self-evident.
The curtain was lifted up again.
An officer in a well-built uniform walked in from outside.
Raicher noticed that he had just seen the person in front of him during the day.
However, unlike when I saw it during the day, the expression and expression on the officer's face were obviously much more serious.
Knowing that the person in front of him was probably here to hold him accountable, Raicher didn't say anything, quietly shut his mouth, waiting for him to speak.
However, to Raichel's surprise, he did not wait for the demotion.
Instead, I heard unexpected arrangements...
General McClan appointed you as the commander of the land war, and we will deploy more troops to the ground tomorrow morning.
Until the deployment order is revoked, this force will be in full command.
Hearing what the officer in front of him said, Raicher's eyes suddenly felt a clear surprise.
As if he could see his surprise, the officer of the General Staff continued.
According to the judgment of the General Staff, the employees of the company we are pursuing are suspected to have joined forces with the reinforcements of the company.All signs indicate that the unknown armed forces who ambushed our patrol tonight are the people of the company!
The loss of Marines 29 and 31 is not yours, it is our lack of regional intelligence that led to this accident.
Captain McClass lets you perform well, wash away this shame with the blood of your enemies, and avenge your brothers who died tonight!
The surprised look converged from his eyes, Raycheer took a deep breath and said seriously.
I will.
Use your actions to prove that the captain is waiting for your news.
After throwing this sentence, the officer from the General Staff did not stop and turned around and left the tent cleanly.
His eyes were staring straight at the curtains of the tent.
Raychel clenched his fists and slowly let go, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit, and he repeatedly chewed those words in his mouth.
It seemed as if it was about to bite it and swallow it.
I will!
……
The boiling wildfire burned all night and did not gradually fade until the night fades.
However, the legion's anger did not subside, and the destruction of the two Marines brought the Heart of Steel to the highest level of alert.
And the sound of cannons like thunder also made survivors in the entire Ruigu City sleepless all night.
Early in the morning.
The commotion is far from subsided.
The Iron Heart airship continued to send arms to the ground, and the deployment scale had reached a complete thousand-person team, and the position fortifications under construction were constructed according to the standards of three thousand-person teams.
More than a dozen marine squads were sent to the eastern suburbs to search for the three girls with two bears and the mortar positions that opened fire on their patrol last night.
According to reports from the fleeing soldiers, at least a hundred-man team attacked them and were equipped with highly mechanized exoskeletons.
There is no doubt.
That is a reinforcement from the company!
But General McClass is not worried, so what if it is reinforcements from the company?
Just a bunch of weak guys.
They were caught in one go!
At the same time, under the instruction of the Airship Staff, Land Commander Recher began to send armed lobbyists to the surrounding areas.
Taking advantage of the remnant power of last night, General McClass's will was conveyed to the nearby survivor settlements.
Or surrender.
Or perish!
……
On the other side, the eastern part of Ruigu City.
In the mountainous area about five kilometers away from the center of the explosion, more than 20 players from the Storm Corps are resting.
The sky was not yet completely bright, and there was a gray light in the distance.
Although some people suggested that camping a little further away, Brother Quanshui said that the seemingly dangerous places are the safest.
After dawn, the Legion will most likely send people to search east, but the focus of the search is likely not to be near the explosion area.
What's more, the terrain here is high and the view is wide.
Even if there is a situation, it can be transferred in time.
After more than 30 hours of forced marching, they fought with the legion's patrol team after finishing their work. Even if the man was so strong that he could withstand the equipment on them could not withstand it.
Most players have run out of battery power for their exoskeletons.
Fortunately, the tail truck was equipped with a firewood generator.
The unloaded exoskeleton lined up next to the truck.
Kakarot took several power players to the nearby forest to cut trees, and several agility players helped everyone prepare food.
Rou Rou took Teddy, who would no longer wake up, to the nearby mountain, intending to find a place where scavengers cannot reach and bury it.
Tail and sesame paste also accompanied her.
Although Sis wanted to follow him, he was too seriously injured and could only stay in the camp.
After finding a corner where no one was around, she performed a minor operation on herself with the medical tools in the car and took out the bullet stuck in her body.
Because I was not very skilled in the operation, the floor was covered with blood. Fortunately, after fiddling for a while, I still gained something.
Get it done!
Looking at the deformed bullet clamped on the tweezers, Ss breathed a sigh of relief and threw it into the aluminum box, intending to keep it as a souvenir.
Although the recovery speed of the physical system players is far beyond that of ordinary people, it is not as good as that of mutants. The wound heals at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Simple bandaging and suture can help the wound heal faster. Siss guessed that he would probably be able to fight side by side with his friends tomorrow.
After sewing the wound, she took out a box of new bandages and replaced it, enjoyed her masterpiece with satisfaction, and then returned to the truck.
Breakfast will be ready for a while. Kakarot and his group have just returned with firewood to use it for the stove and generator.
Other players sat in a circle, mostly yawning exhausted.
Only Brother Quanshui, who was standing in the middle, was talking to everyone about his combat plan with a full face.
...The airships can store a lot of supplies, but their supplies are not infinite after all!Thousands of troops, not to mention how much food they have to show off every day, they can just load up a car!
I yelled the most: Damn, can you please not ask this before meals?
The spring water commander said with a smile.
Just to give an example!
The Iron Heart has dropped the anchor chain. If they plan to stay in the month, they will definitely collect supplies on the spot and obtain supplies from the local area as much as possible, whether it is to pay for the dinar or force it by force.
And this is an opportunity for us!
He continued to look at the players with bright eyes.
We need to distinguish between the people they are bribed and the people they are coerced, and then win over the part that can be won over!
Sis thought for a while and said.
But how many places are there for survivors who dare to resist the Legion?
The spring water commander said with a smile.
We don’t need them to resist clearly, we can fight tough battles.
We just need them to provide us with a little help within our ability!
Even if it's just telling them the location of the Legion patrol.
Even if it is just a reminder to them when the convoy that collects supplies will come.
A trace of surprise appeared in the warrior's eyes.
I understand, is it right to fight guerrilla?
correct answer!
Commander Quanshui nodded with praise and continued.
The Legion's people will most likely go to contact nearby survivor settlements during the day, so we will go against them and go to the evening!
After a while, we will go offline and return to our state. Let’s continue to talk about the specific combat plan in the group.
As he said, he turned his eyes to Sce on the side and said with a smile.
Good brother, can you please keep a corpse?
Sce smiled.
It’s not troublesome for small matters, Awei and I will help us watch.
She had just been lying in the truck for a while, and her fatigue had dropped. She was not very sleepy yet. She just came back and went to sleep for a while.
Quanshui hugged her fist and said with a smile.
Um!Then please!
……
Most of the players who arrived in Ruigu City with Brother Quanshui are full-time players.
Even if there are a few who are not full-time, they are still free of time, otherwise it would be impossible to make a long-distance raid for more than 30 hours in a row.
After a full meal, everyone agreed on the time to go online, and then found a place that was not in trouble and logged out of the game.
As for equipment and game characters, there is Sce who helps to watch.
The members of the White Bear Knights were originally members of the Storm Corps, and they were teammates who had been playing together several times before. Naturally, there was no question of trust or not.
After going offline.
The Spring Water Commander tagged all the members in the guild group of the Storm Corps and divided the more than 20 small team members who arrived first into three groups.
Group A is mainly composed of agility and perception players, responsible for detecting the terrain of the nearby area, and Group B is mainly composed of players who can communicate with NPCs simply, responsible for collecting information about the settlements of survivors in the nearby area.
As for Group C, it is composed of several players who like to be quick-gun, including the Battlefield Atmosphere Group, and continues to move westward, responsible for searching and attacking the legion's patrol team.
How many people are killed is not the key.
It is mainly through frequent harassment to strategically disrupt the enemy's sight, causing them to misjudgment of their own position and number of people.
As for the task of searching for the entrance to shelter No. 79, Quanshui plans to hand it over to Taiba and the others after it goes online.
On the one hand, he felt that Tail seemed very interested in treasure hunting, and on the other hand, considering that they did not bring high-end equipment, high-frequency mobile combat would be more difficult.
This game is wearing exoskeletons and not wearing exoskeletons, which are completely different ways of playing.
It has nothing to do with ability, it is purely a question of whether it is appropriate or not.
……
When the morning sun shines on the land of the river valley province, the giant stone city far away on the edge of the Third Ring Road in Qingquan City, it is now a peaceful and peaceful situation.
No matter how powerful the 400mm main gun is, the shock wave will never blow here.
unless
Someone intends to add a lot of fire to it.
Extra edition!
The newspaper boy running in the streets and alleys of Giant Rock City, carrying canvas bags, sent the temporarily printed newspaper to a tavern and grocery store that cooperated with the Survivor Daily, and also stuffed it into the customer's windows and cracks.
There is only one page for the temporary printing of newspapers.
The photos printed on the newspaper are a continuation of the headlines of the newspaper that just appeared in the morning.
The huge crater was printed in the valley, and the destructive shock wave swept across the entire forest, and the fiery red flames were like boiling mushroom clouds.
Below the photo, there is a line of intriguing text
The 400mm main gun of the Heart of Steel!Just six shots are enough to level the entire outer city!
This is of course an exaggerated metaphor.
However, after this comparison, the melon-eating crowds who had no idea about power instantly realized how terrifying the power of this thing was.
Grey Squirrel Clothing Store.
Sier, sitting behind the counter, raised his chair, resting his furry arms on his towering belly, holding a hot newspaper in his hand.
The reason why he ordered the Survivor Daily was very simple. He mainly wanted to check out the advertisements and find out what new trendy styles are there in Dawn City recently.
However, the news published occasionally on it also attracted him.
Although Mr. House's radio made people excited, the guy's voice was like a spiritual leaf, with only the effect of refreshing the spirit and no nutrition apart.
Survivor Daily is different. There are many news. In addition to what happened in the Rock City, it occasionally reports news about the outside world.
...Ruigu City, I seem to have heard of it somewhere.
Hearing Shiel's low voice, Luo Bo, the old friend who was picking up his shop, replied casually.
Of course you have heard that it is the southeast corner of the River Valley Province, the west gate of the southern corridor, and most of the caravans passing by the Rock City will pass by there.
Yes, that's there!
A hint of surprise appeared in Shiel's eyes and sat up straight from the chair. It was so strange that the legion actually ran there... Shouldn't they be in trouble for the Great Rift Valley in the north?
Legion?!
Rubbing the index finger of the artwork stopped, Robo moved his gaze away from the dummy model's leg, looking back at Shiel, sitting behind the counter, and couldn't help asking.
What stupid things are you saying, what are the legion doing here?
He runs the most famous bar, the Queen of Night, in the Stone City. It is not only a famous Golden Cave, but also a mixed intelligence distribution center.
Not only the nobles in the inner city would come to him for fun, but the rich mercenaries were also happy to contribute their chips to him.
No one is more informed than the White Shark in Pirate Bay Bar.
Look at what happened this morning.
Shiel sent the newspaper in his hand to his old friend with the one he had just sent to the outside of the account. Isn’t this photo fake?
After taking the newspaper, Luo Bo glanced at it quickly, his eyes quickly widened into two bargaining chips.
Heart of Steel?!Wait, I seem to have heard of this guy!
Sil looked at him strangely.
Where did you hear it?
His face was full of disbelief, and Luo Bo said quickly.
Caravans from the west!Just two months ago!They said that the legion was standing in the oasis where the sun set, and there was an iron fortress floating above their heads... Damn, I thought that guy was bragging!
The 400mm main gun that burned everything...
This caliber can stuff others into it!
Imagining the scene, Luo Bo couldn't help but shrink his neck.
He really couldn't think further about how this big guy flew to his doorstep.
Don't worry too much, the city lord will definitely not let it fly to us.Looking at this guy's exaggerated reaction, Shiel's expression was a little weird, but he said comfortably.
That's hard to say... Last year, I don't know whether it was a legion or an enterprise, but I threw a nuclear bomb in the northern Yumu area, and it was finally over.Luo Bo couldn't help complaining.
I hope someone can take care of this matter.
By the way, aren’t there a group of nosy guys in the north?
Xizhou City is about 100 kilometers away from here. Ruigu City may be a little far away, but it is not very far away.
At least there is a huge wall in Giant Stone City. A large number of fixed weapons are installed on the huge wall, but those people have nothing and have planted a large field. Will they do something, right?
Of course, the country bumpkins are more adorable than the annoying legion.
A trace of sorrow rose on Luo Bo's face.
Can they win?
……
Luo Bo is not the only one who has similar concerns.
Almost most wastelanders who hold the Survivor Daily have almost the same ideas as him.
Not everyone cares about the life or death of the country bumpkins in the northern suburbs.
But they would not naively think that the range of the Iron Heart is only a dozen kilometers away, and they just let themselves go.
At this moment, the city hall of Giant Rock City is busy.
Duro, the director of the city hall, has held three meetings in a row. Not only did he find people from the bank, but he also summoned the president of the Survivor Daily newspaper.
Although it cannot be said to be in chaos, it is at least a little panicked.
Unlike ordinary residents.
What they are worried about is not only the safety of the survivors' settlement, but also the 200 million chips they just lent out!
What is the concept of 200 million?
There are about 500,000 residents in the outer city of Jushi City. Regardless of mercenaries and business dealers, the per capita income is about 100 chips.
In other words, all the workers in Jushi City smoked the screws and it would take three or four months to make so much money!
Yes, the money is not in the hands of the alliance, but in the regulatory account of Giorite City Bank.But the problem is that the league has taken these chips and placed orders with their factories and caravans!
Almost all factories in the entire Stone City are busy with loans, recruiting workers, and expanding production, busying themselves with the 200 million chips.
The fire of industry is burning, and such a grand occasion has never happened before!
Whether it is the Rock Bank or the City Hall, they have already tasted a little bit of sweetness, they don’t want to see the signs of economic recovery being extinguished.
This kind of thing must never happen!
That idiot Yeage actually proposed to terminate the loan. How could such a big thing stop?Fortunately, the Director-General is standing by my side...
After a whole day of meeting, Melvin returned to the mansion with exhaustion, handing his coat to his wife while complaining.
He was worried every day for the poor who owe him money to successfully repay the money.
The lady who took the coat gave him a kiss and comforted softly.
You may need a few days off.
Dear, I think too, but there are a lot of troubles...
Melvin sighed and sat on the soft sofa.
And at this moment, he suddenly noticed the newspaper on the coffee table, and his eyebrows, which had been stretched a little, twisted together again.
Survivor Daily... Has our family ordered this thing too?
He reached out and rubbed his eyebrows. Melvin felt a headache when he saw the newspaper.
I ordered it. I saw a lot of things I had never seen before, such as nutritional cream, and it was said to be food for wastelanders... Sitting next to my father, Alyssa blinked curiously and said, "Can we buy some?"I want to see what it looks like.
You won't be interested in that thing, that thing is like…like fermented vomit, only a little better than a hard-to-swallow bark.Melvin pondered a figurative metaphor.
Even he felt disgusted by himself, which should be able to dispel his daughter's curiosity.
Alisa: Bark?
Well, if you are so lazy that you can't even take out a chip, you can only chew that thing.But nutritional cream is cheap enough, usually only sold per kilogram... Why do I say this? Melvin touched his little daughter's head and said dotingly, "You don't need to understand these."
One of his two sons moved to the inner city and the other went on a tour of the East Coast with a reliable caravan. The other two daughters had already started a family, and there was only one piece of their heart left.
The lady frowned.
...Don't bring that thing to your home.
I know, holding my wife's shoulder, Melvin said with a smile, "I'm just giving our little daughter some science...
Some unnecessary knowledge, the lady stared at her husband, and she blamed her slightly, "You are too pampering Alisa. I have never agreed to her subscribe to newspapers. There are so many books in her study at home, so why do you have to read the vulgar words written by a group of wasteland tourists.
Melvin laughed dryly.
I will persuade her.
He actually doesn't like Survivor Daily very much, mainly because he doesn't think that non-professionals can write anything valuable.
Although his office has a subscription, he just asked the secretary to help him take a look.
However, this time, the headlines of Survivor Daily were beyond his expectations.
The legion's airships were all heading to the River Valley Province. If it weren't for the freak who came here to write articles from the next province, they would probably still be kept in the dark.
Just like when the Trail Blazers came here last time, a tactical nuclear bomb was blown up, and their respected city lord sent someone over to take a look.
Alyssa stared into her father's eyes and suddenly spoke thoughtfully.
… Actually, you know, we can’t really be isolated from the wasteland, the ideal city of prosperity is enviable, but we are not them after all.
Melvin looked at his daughter in surprise, and was surprised to hear such words from her mouth.
Where did you hear this sentence?
In the newspaper, but I think it makes sense.
Looking up at his daughter, Melvin said for a moment.
That's right, not only I know, but Duroon also knows, even the uncle who doesn't seem very smart, but there are many complicated reasons in it, and this problem has been around for a long time.
Alyssa blinked.
Since it has been a long time, why not change from now on?
Malvin smiled in a funny way and said in a gentle tone after rubbing his daughter's little head.
Because of limited abilities, each generation has its own work. All Dad can do is to let you live a slightly better life. There is no need to sell your soul for tomorrow's lunch and fight for a bottle of beer mixed with water, just like those wastelanders.
He does not intend to break the tacit understanding of two centuries.
The root of the prosperity of Giant Rock City is the same as that of Ideal City. After all, they are just taking the path of the enterprise, and they have made some improvements.
They have strong armed forces, just like enterprises, do not participate in the wasteland affairs, and only ensure that others do not come to their homes to make trouble.
Survivors in the southern part of the river valley province and even the next door to Jinchuan Province, both slave owners and merchants, regarded them as role models.
Just like they looked up at the utopia on the east coast.
But now, trouble has come to the door.
The legion's airship had already flown to the doorstep, and the guys with bulging noses were as savage and rude as they were rumored, and showed their fangs without any concealment.
He had no doubt that those people would covet the prosperity of the Stone City.
Thinking of this, Melvin felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Even the richest man in this city could not convince the great city lord to send troops to do something for everyone's benefit.
After all, to put it bluntly, he is just a beneficiary of the rules.
And that adult is the one who sets the rules.
The man who didn't know how old he lived was more indifferent, stubborn, and elusive than everyone he knew combined.
Melvin couldn't help but start fantasizing.
If there was any best of both worlds, which could stop the trouble for them, or drive the airship away.
And at this moment, a thought that had the best of both worlds... or crazy, suddenly emerged from his mind.
Since borrowing those blue jackets with just one sum of money can save the factories that are on the verge of bankruptcy, why not lend them a sum of military spending and encourage them to go to war?
That airship...
It should be quite valuable, right?
Moreover, with their bad personality, when I saw the local survivors with pale faces and skinny faces, I would definitely not leave them alone, and I would build roads and houses for them at that time.
Ruigu City, the western exit of the southern corridor...there is much more potential there than Xizhou City.
Malvermur softly, Melvin's eyes became brighter and brighter, and suddenly he stood up from the sofa with an excited expression.
dad?Alisa tilted her head, not understanding what was wrong with him.
Melvin laughed, wishing he could pick up his daughter and kiss her.
My Alisa, you're right, we really need a little change...
At least, a little workaround is needed!
The camp of the enterprise's long-distance team.
The rolling thunder floating in the distance made the soldiers from the East Coast stop their work and stop to look west.
What's that sound?
Thunder?
Not like...
It sounds like something exploded.
It was strange. When I was in Shuguang City, I specifically asked about the caravans coming from the west, but I didn’t hear that there was a war nearby.

Hudding whispered.

Yun Song pondered for a while and nodded.
Um.
……
The northwest side of Ruigu City.
The camp just below the Heart of Steel.
Raycheer, sitting in the tent, had a gloomy face like a cloud outside the tent.
Especially when he heard that Vito, the most powerful hunter under his tent, died in battle and died humiliatedly under the enemy's artillery, he clenched his fists angrily.

Although Sis wanted to follow him, he was too seriously injured and could only stay in the camp.
After finding a corner where no one was around, she performed a minor operation on herself with the medical tools in the car and took out the bullet stuck in her body.
Because I was not very skilled in the operation, the floor was covered with blood. Fortunately, after fiddling for a while, I still gained something.
Get it done!
Looking at the deformed bullet clamped on the tweezers, Ss breathed a sigh of relief and threw it into the aluminum box, intending to keep it as a souvenir.
Although the recovery speed of the physical system players is far beyond that of ordinary people, it is not as good as that of mutants. The wound heals at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Simple bandaging and suture can help the wound heal faster. Siss guessed that he would probably be able to fight side by side with his friends tomorrow.
After sewing the wound, she took out a box of new bandages and replaced it, enjoyed her masterpiece with satisfaction, and then returned to the truck.
Breakfast will be ready for a while. Kakarot and his group have just returned with firewood to use it for the stove and generator.
Other players sat in a circle, mostly yawning exhausted.
Only Brother Quanshui, who was standing in the middle, was talking to everyone about his combat plan with a full face.
...The airships can store a lot of supplies, but their supplies are not infinite after all!Thousands of troops, not to mention how much food they have to show off every day, they can just load up a car!
I yelled the most: Damn, can you please not ask this before meals?
The spring water commander said with a smile.
Just to give an example!
The Iron Heart has dropped the anchor chain. If they plan to stay in the month, they will definitely collect supplies on the spot and obtain supplies from the local area as much as possible, whether it is to pay for the dinar or force it by force.
And this is an opportunity for us!
He continued to look at the players with bright eyes.
We need to distinguish between the people they are bribed and the people they are coerced, and then win over the part that can be won over!
Sis thought for a while and said.
But how many places are there for survivors who dare to resist the Legion?
The spring water commander said with a smile.
We don’t need them to resist clearly, we can fight tough battles.
We just need them to provide us with a little help within our ability!
Even if it's just telling them the location of the Legion patrol.
Even if it is just a reminder to them when the convoy that collects supplies will come.
A trace of surprise appeared in the warrior's eyes.
I understand, is it right to fight guerrilla?
correct answer!
Commander Quanshui nodded with praise and continued.
The Legion's people will most likely go to contact nearby survivor settlements during the day, so we will go against them and go to the evening!
After a while, we will go offline and return to our state. Let’s continue to talk about the specific combat plan in the group.
As he said, he turned his eyes to Sce on the side and said with a smile.
Good brother, can you please keep a corpse?
Sce smiled.
It’s not troublesome for small matters, Awei and I will help us watch.
She had just been lying in the truck for a while, and her fatigue had dropped. She was not very sleepy yet. She just came back and went to sleep for a while.
Quanshui hugged her fist and said with a smile.
Um!Then please!
……
Most of the players who arrived in Ruigu City with Brother Quanshui are full-time players.
Even if there are a few who are not full-time, they are still free of time, otherwise it would be impossible to make a long-distance raid for more than 30 hours in a row.
After a full meal, everyone agreed on the time to go online, and then found a place that was not in trouble and logged out of the game.
As for equipment and game characters, there is Sce who helps to watch.
The members of the White Bear Knights were originally members of the Storm Corps, and they were teammates who had been playing together several times before. Naturally, there was no question of trust or not.
After going offline.
The Spring Water Commander tagged all the members in the guild group of the Storm Corps and divided the more than 20 small team members who arrived first into three groups.
Group A is mainly composed of agility and perception players, responsible for detecting the terrain of the nearby area, and Group B is mainly composed of players who can communicate with NPCs simply, responsible for collecting information about the settlements of survivors in the nearby area.
As for Group C, it is composed of several players who like to be quick-gun, including the Battlefield Atmosphere Group, and continues to move westward, responsible for searching and attacking the legion's patrol team.
How many people are killed is not the key.
It is mainly through frequent harassment to strategically disrupt the enemy's sight, causing them to misjudgment of their own position and number of people.
As for the task of searching for the entrance to shelter No. 79, Quanshui plans to hand it over to Taiba and the others after it goes online.
On the one hand, he felt that Tail seemed very interested in treasure hunting, and on the other hand, considering that they did not bring high-end equipment, high-frequency mobile combat would be more difficult.
This game is wearing exoskeletons and not wearing exoskeletons, which are completely different ways of playing.
It has nothing to do with ability, it is purely a question of whether it is appropriate or not.
……
When the morning sun shines on the land of the river valley province, the giant stone city far away on the edge of the Third Ring Road in Qingquan City, it is now a peaceful and peaceful situation.
No matter how powerful the 400mm main gun is, the shock wave will never blow here.
unless
Someone intends to add a lot of fire to it.
Extra edition!
The newspaper boy running in the streets and alleys of Giant Rock City, carrying canvas bags, sent the temporarily printed newspaper to a tavern and grocery store that cooperated with the Survivor Daily, and also stuffed it into the customer's windows and cracks.
There is only one page for the temporary printing of newspapers.
The photos printed on the newspaper are a continuation of the headlines of the newspaper that just appeared in the morning.
The huge crater was printed in the valley, and the destructive shock wave swept across the entire forest, and the fiery red flames were like boiling mushroom clouds.
Below the photo, there is a line of intriguing text
The 400mm main gun of the Heart of Steel!Just six shots are enough to level the entire outer city!
This is of course an exaggerated metaphor.
However, after this comparison, the melon-eating crowds who had no idea about power instantly realized how terrifying the power of this thing was.
Grey Squirrel Clothing Store.
Sier, sitting behind the counter, raised his chair, resting his furry arms on his towering belly, holding a hot newspaper in his hand.
The reason why he ordered the Survivor Daily was very simple. He mainly wanted to check out the advertisements and find out what new trendy styles are there in Dawn City recently.
However, the news published occasionally on it also attracted him.
Although Mr. House's radio made people excited, the guy's voice was like a spiritual leaf, with only the effect of refreshing the spirit and no nutrition apart.
Survivor Daily is different. There are many news. In addition to what happened in the Rock City, it occasionally reports news about the outside world.
...Ruigu City, I seem to have heard of it somewhere.
Hearing Shiel's low voice, Luo Bo, the old friend who was picking up his shop, replied casually.
Of course you have heard that it is the southeast corner of the River Valley Province, the west gate of the southern corridor, and most of the caravans passing by the Rock City will pass by there.
Yes, that's there!
A hint of surprise appeared in Shiel's eyes and sat up straight from the chair. It was so strange that the legion actually ran there... Shouldn't they be in trouble for the Great Rift Valley in the north?
Legion?!
Rubbing the index finger of the artwork stopped, Robo moved his gaze away from the dummy model's leg, looking back at Shiel, sitting behind the counter, and couldn't help asking.
What stupid things are you saying, what are the legion doing here?
He runs the most famous bar, the Queen of Night, in the Stone City. It is not only a famous Golden Cave, but also a mixed intelligence distribution center.
Not only the nobles in the inner city would come to him for fun, but the rich mercenaries were also happy to contribute their chips to him.
No one is more informed than the White Shark in Pirate Bay Bar.
Look at what happened this morning.
Shiel sent the newspaper in his hand to his old friend with the one he had just sent to the outside of the account. Isn’t this photo fake?
After taking the newspaper, Luo Bo glanced at it quickly, his eyes quickly widened into two bargaining chips.
Heart of Steel?!Wait, I seem to have heard of this guy!
Sil looked at him strangely.
Where did you hear it?
His face was full of disbelief, and Luo Bo said quickly.
Caravans from the west!Just two months ago!They said that the legion was standing in the oasis where the sun set, and there was an iron fortress floating above their heads... Damn, I thought that guy was bragging!
The 400mm main gun that burned everything...
This caliber can stuff others into it!
Imagining the scene, Luo Bo couldn't help but shrink his neck.
He really couldn't think further about how this big guy flew to his doorstep.
Don't worry too much, the city lord will definitely not let it fly to us.Looking at this guy's exaggerated reaction, Shiel's expression was a little weird, but he said comfortably.
That's hard to say... Last year, I don't know whether it was a legion or an enterprise, but I threw a nuclear bomb in the northern Yumu area, and it was finally over.Luo Bo couldn't help complaining.
I hope someone can take care of this matter.
By the way, aren’t there a group of nosy guys in the north?
Xizhou City is about 100 kilometers away from here. Ruigu City may be a little far away, but it is not very far away.
At least there is a huge wall in Giant Stone City. A large number of fixed weapons are installed on the huge wall, but those people have nothing and have planted a large field. Will they do something, right?
Of course, the country bumpkins are more adorable than the annoying legion.
A trace of sorrow rose on Luo Bo's face.
Can they win?
……
Luo Bo is not the only one who has similar concerns.
Almost most wastelanders who hold the Survivor Daily have almost the same ideas as him.
Not everyone cares about the life or death of the country bumpkins in the northern suburbs.
But they would not naively think that the range of the Iron Heart is only a dozen kilometers away, and they just let themselves go.
At this moment, the city hall of Giant Rock City is busy.
Duro, the director of the city hall, has held three meetings in a row. Not only did he find people from the bank, but he also summoned the president of the Survivor Daily newspaper.
Although it cannot be said to be in chaos, it is at least a little panicked.
Unlike ordinary residents.
What they are worried about is not only the safety of the survivors' settlement, but also the 200 million chips they just lent out!
What is the concept of 200 million?
There are about 500,000 residents in the outer city of Jushi City. Regardless of mercenaries and business dealers, the per capita income is about 100 chips.
In other words, all the workers in Jushi City smoked the screws and it would take three or four months to make so much money!
Yes, the money is not in the hands of the alliance, but in the regulatory account of Giorite City Bank.But the problem is that the league has taken these chips and placed orders with their factories and caravans!
Almost all factories in the entire Stone City are busy with loans, recruiting workers, and expanding production, busying themselves with the 200 million chips.
The fire of industry is burning, and such a grand occasion has never happened before!
Whether it is the Rock Bank or the City Hall, they have already tasted a little bit of sweetness, they don’t want to see the signs of economic recovery being extinguished.
This kind of thing must never happen!
That idiot Yeage actually proposed to terminate the loan. How could such a big thing stop?Fortunately, the Director-General is standing by my side...
After a whole day of meeting, Melvin returned to the mansion with exhaustion, handing his coat to his wife while complaining.
He was worried every day for the poor who owe him money to successfully repay the money.
The lady who took the coat gave him a kiss and comforted softly.
You may need a few days off.
Dear, I think too, but there are a lot of troubles...
Melvin sighed and sat on the soft sofa.
And at this moment, he suddenly noticed the newspaper on the coffee table, and his eyebrows, which had been stretched a little, twisted together again.
Survivor Daily... Has our family ordered this thing too?
He reached out and rubbed his eyebrows. Melvin felt a headache when he saw the newspaper.
I ordered it. I saw a lot of things I had never seen before, such as nutritional cream, and it was said to be food for wastelanders... Sitting next to my father, Alyssa blinked curiously and said, "Can we buy some?"I want to see what it looks like.
You won't be interested in that thing, that thing is like…like fermented vomit, only a little better than a hard-to-swallow bark.Melvin pondered a figurative metaphor.
Even he felt disgusted by himself, which should be able to dispel his daughter's curiosity.
Alisa: Bark?
Well, if you are so lazy that you can't even take out a chip, you can only chew that thing.But nutritional cream is cheap enough, usually only sold per kilogram... Why do I say this? Melvin touched his little daughter's head and said dotingly, "You don't need to understand these."
One of his two sons moved to the inner city and the other went on a tour of the East Coast with a reliable caravan. The other two daughters had already started a family, and there was only one piece of their heart left.
The lady frowned.
...Don't bring that thing to your home.
I know, holding my wife's shoulder, Melvin said with a smile, "I'm just giving our little daughter some science...
Some unnecessary knowledge, the lady stared at her husband, and she blamed her slightly, "You are too pampering Alisa. I have never agreed to her subscribe to newspapers. There are so many books in her study at home, so why do you have to read the vulgar words written by a group of wasteland tourists.
Melvin laughed dryly.
I will persuade her.
He actually doesn't like Survivor Daily very much, mainly because he doesn't think that non-professionals can write anything valuable.
Although his office has a subscription, he just asked the secretary to help him take a look.
However, this time, the headlines of Survivor Daily were beyond his expectations.
The legion's airships were all heading to the River Valley Province. If it weren't for the freak who came here to write articles from the next province, they would probably still be kept in the dark.
Just like when the Trail Blazers came here last time, a tactical nuclear bomb was blown up, and their respected city lord sent someone over to take a look.
Alyssa stared into her father's eyes and suddenly spoke thoughtfully.
… Actually, you know, we can’t really be isolated from the wasteland, the ideal city of prosperity is enviable, but we are not them after all.
Melvin looked at his daughter in surprise, and was surprised to hear such words from her mouth.
Where did you hear this sentence?
In the newspaper, but I think it makes sense.
Looking up at his daughter, Melvin said for a moment.
That's right, not only I know, but Duroon also knows, even the uncle who doesn't seem very smart, but there are many complicated reasons in it, and this problem has been around for a long time.
Alyssa blinked.
Since it has been a long time, why not change from now on?
Malvin smiled in a funny way and said in a gentle tone after rubbing his daughter's little head.
Because of limited abilities, each generation has its own work. All Dad can do is to let you live a slightly better life. There is no need to sell your soul for tomorrow's lunch and fight for a bottle of beer mixed with water, just like those wastelanders.
He does not intend to break the tacit understanding of two centuries.
The root of the prosperity of Giant Rock City is the same as that of Ideal City. After all, they are just taking the path of the enterprise, and they have made some improvements.
They have strong armed forces, just like enterprises, do not participate in the wasteland affairs, and only ensure that others do not come to their homes to make trouble.
Survivors in the southern part of the river valley province and even the next door to Jinchuan Province, both slave owners and merchants, regarded them as role models.
Just like they looked up at the utopia on the east coast.
But now, trouble has come to the door.
The legion's airship had already flown to the doorstep, and the guys with bulging noses were as savage and rude as they were rumored, and showed their fangs without any concealment.
He had no doubt that those people would covet the prosperity of the Stone City.
Thinking of this, Melvin felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Even the richest man in this city could not convince the great city lord to send troops to do something for everyone's benefit.
After all, to put it bluntly, he is just a beneficiary of the rules.
And that adult is the one who sets the rules.
The man who didn't know how old he lived was more indifferent, stubborn, and elusive than everyone he knew combined.
Melvin couldn't help but start fantasizing.
If there was any best of both worlds, which could stop the trouble for them, or drive the airship away.
And at this moment, a thought that had the best of both worlds... or crazy, suddenly emerged from his mind.
Since borrowing those blue jackets with just one sum of money can save the factories that are on the verge of bankruptcy, why not lend them a sum of military spending and encourage them to go to war?
That airship...
It should be quite valuable, right?
Moreover, with their bad personality, when I saw the local survivors with pale faces and skinny faces, I would definitely not leave them alone, and I would build roads and houses for them at that time.
Ruigu City, the western exit of the southern corridor...there is much more potential there than Xizhou City.
Malvermur softly, Melvin's eyes became brighter and brighter, and suddenly he stood up from the sofa with an excited expression.
dad?Alisa tilted her head, not understanding what was wrong with him.
Melvin laughed, wishing he could pick up his daughter and kiss her.
My Alisa, you're right, we really need a little change...
At least, a little workaround is needed!
