The dead players were all sent to the corpse room, and the active substance extractor started working. With so many corpses piled up, it is estimated that they will be busy until tomorrow morning.
The current reserve of active substances in the outpost is sufficient. The casualties of a dozen people are a bit too many, but they are not serious enough.
The remaining 6 people who were seriously injured should just go back to the training cabin and lie down to recuperate if they can recover.
As for those who were missing arms or legs, or those who couldn't get out of bed for ten days and a half, they were simply sent to the morgue to line up.
Anyway, the VM has been recovered and the equipment has been saved. If you die in the war to defend the outpost, there will be no death penalty. Instead, you will receive a small amount of pension.
Although the pension of a few silver coins is far less than the amount earned in the game, it can still be regarded as a comfort better than nothing.
In the end, Chu Guang discovered that 4 of the 6 seriously injured young players had repaired themselves.
These people really didn’t hesitate at all...
Drum shampooer: "Wait a minute! Can you let me try jumping off a building? I haven't tried it yet!"
The other party is typing: "Do you want to scare the little fish into tears?"
Drum washing machine: "Uh, okay, forget it, I'll go lie down in the stove..."
Anyway, there is pain shielding, so there is no difference between lying in alive and lying in dead.
According to the description of the old man on the forum, when you lie in the iron coffin, you will feel a little hot at first, and then before you start to sweat, you will be disconnected with a snap, which is similar to being offline in a training cabin.
Chu Guang was not interested in watching the young players describe how to commit suicide. What concerned him was that those mutants actually knew tactics.
If he hadn't decisively ordered the assault and personally stepped forward to eliminate high-threat targets, the casualties of these players would have doubled.
At least, the few young players who have been bitten by the mutants will definitely not survive.
In any case, neither side has any room for negotiation.
As long as humans and mutants face off, it will be a fight to the death, and it will definitely end with the complete destruction of one party.
Chu Guang told Xiao Qi to set up a few more cruise nodes on the drone's cruise route, and set No. 76 Street as a key investigation area. He would stroll there every 30 minutes, take a few photos, and observe whether
There are new trends.
However, these mutants are very cunning. Under the cover of vegetation, ruins, and buildings, they are difficult to detect by high-altitude drones.
After the two battles yesterday and today, the mutants on Street 76 have become obviously more cautious, and their defense line has shrunk to the vicinity of their lair.
To be honest, this doesn't seem like something a mutant could do.
Chu Guang felt a little strange before. He had fought several times with the predators, but the mutants on Street 76 seemed to have not seen them, staying at home and not going out at all.
It's the same even now.
Even though the exchange of fire between the two sides has reached a fever pitch, these mutants still focus on defense and do not take the initiative to attack at all. They have not even set foot in the forest until now.
If it's just caution, this doesn't make sense at all.
Thinking of the inexplicable extra fresh corpses at the entrance of the village, Chu Guang always felt that these mutant villages were keeping some terrible secrets.
Could it be that there is a shelter beneath their feet?
Although he was full of doubts, Chu Guang did not dare to fly the drone too close.
These puzzling questions can only be explored further after the mutant's lair is knocked down.
…
real world.
Shanghai, 8pm.
Highway cars are coming and going, the streets are bustling with people, the high-rise buildings are colorful with neon lights, and it is a prosperous time with bright lights and feasting.
Fang Chang took off his helmet and went offline. He couldn't sit around at home and had no interest in playing other games, so he simply went downstairs for a walk, enjoying the evening breeze by the river.
After walking along the street for a while, the phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated.
Fang Chang took it out and took a look. The message was actually from Lao Bai.
Lao Bai: [Brother, the first floor of the greenhouse ruins has been knocked down!]
Fang Chang was stunned for a moment and typed back.
【So fast?!】
Lao Bai: [This thing has come to an end, there are not many moths left in total. By the way, I will give the 200 silver coins of the dungeon profit to Brother Mole and the others, and they will have priority to explore the 2nd floor above ground and the negative 1st floor.
, Ye Shi and I took it first. The priority given by the manager this time is 7 days, which is quite enough time. We plan to wait until you go online tomorrow before continuing the next book.]
Fang Chang: [No problem, but why are you offline too? 】
Lao Bai: [Hey, why don’t I come down here to share the joy with my good brother? I’m afraid you’ll be lonely down there alone. (Baring teeth)]
Fang Chang:【I almost believed it!】
Lao Bai: [Hahahaha, stop bragging, the manager called me over just now and said he was going to transfer a group of people from the brick factory. I'll report online first. 】
Fang Chang rolled his eyes.
After knowing each other for so many years, he could even picture the proud expression on Lao Bai's face.
Fang Chang: [Go ahead! By the way, we can sell the priority exploration rights of the second floor to the mole. Anyway, there is no point in hoarding. There is no time to fight. If it is auctioned after 7 days, there will be a 50% deduction. My judgment is
, let’s concentrate on going downstairs, targeting the backup generator on the B9 floor and the brood nest on the 10th floor. As expected, all the good stuff is there!]
Lao Bai: [Okay, I’ll ask later! 】
Turning off the phone screen, Fang Chang looked envious.
If the arrow hadn't hit him in the intestines and caused moderate blood loss, he wouldn't have had to spend a whole day in the culture cabin!
However, there is nothing we can do about it.
After all, he is not a physique player, so his basic recovery speed is only slightly higher than that of a normal person. The function of the training chamber is only to provide a recovery bonus, but does not have the effect of actively repairing damaged tissue.
That must be the function of the "medical cabin".
This game is always too real in some inexplicable way.
Whether it's the resurrection CD, wound healing time, or the setting that game characters have to sleep every day, the game operators seem to be afraid that players will stay in the server for too long.
But Fang Chang can understand it.
If this kind of completely real virtual reality online game didn't have an anti-addiction system, I'm afraid many people would stay in the game 24 hours a day.
He definitely will anyway.
"...It would be great if the body in reality could be as strong as in the virtual world."
Looking at his right hand, Fang Chang clenched his fist, feeling extremely itchy and wishing he could put on his helmet and return to the game right now.
Forget it, let's go shopping for a while.
At this moment, his eyes fell on a billboard advertising an archery club.
With a slight movement in his heart, Fang Chang immediately turned around and entered the nearby shopping mall, took the elevator to the fifth floor, and found the archery club.
Although the flow of people in the mall was quite large, there were surprisingly not many people in the club.
Fang Chang bought a coupon with his mobile phone. After checking the coupon, he followed the staff to the shooting range inside the club.
Without waiting for the staff to introduce him, Fang Chang spoke skillfully.
"50-meter target, give me a 28-pound bow."
This archery club is built in an expensive shopping mall. The longest target is only 50 meters. There are many children and couples playing with the 30-meter target next to it. Compared with the former, the latter is easier and more suitable for newcomers.
But there are still many people who clearly aim at their own target, but still shoot into the target next to them.
The staff gave him a surprised look.
"Dude, have you been here before?"
A 28-pound bow is still a bit difficult for beginners. The highest bow in their store is 28 pounds, and most customers play with 16 or 20 pounds.
"I played elsewhere."
After taking the bow, Fang Chang tried the string and estimated that the actual poundage should be about 26. It was probably because it was often unused and neglected to maintain, which caused the elasticity of the bow to decline.
But it doesn't matter.
After hearing what Fang Chang said, the staff's eyes suddenly lit up and they immediately started selling.
"Okay, brother, would you consider applying for a card? Our coach here retired from the provincial archery team. The store occasionally holds some competitions. Last month's bonus was a thousand yuan!"
Fang Chang chuckled.
The provincial archery team is okay.
The layout is still small, and other stores brag that their store manager has participated in the Olympics.
Feeling a little embarrassed by this smile, the staff member coughed dryly and forcibly changed the topic to teaching.
"Brother, don't be in a hurry to shoot, your posture of holding the bow is wrong——"
Whoosh——!
He nocked an arrow, opened his bow and let go, all the movements were smooth and smooth.
Looking at the arrow nailed on the bull's-eye, the sales staff was dumbfounded and his expression became even more embarrassing. He coughed dryly and continued.
"Okay, brother, you're lucky! But your posture is wrong and you can easily injure yourself. How about I show you the correct posture of holding the bow first -"
Whoosh——!
Another arrow hit the bullseye.
This time the staff finally figured out that this guy was here to fry fish, so they simply shut up and stopped talking, planning to wait until he made a mistake before continuing.
Fang Chang was also a person who didn't like to talk nonsense. He aimed at the bull's-eye and shot arrow after arrow. After a while, the bull's-eye 50 meters away turned into a hedgehog.
Within one minute, all 15 arrows were shot!
I was stunned that none of my arrows were in vain!
Not only the staff, but also the customers nearby were stunned. When the last arrow hit the target perfectly, they couldn't help but applaud.
"Damn! So handsome!"
"This is so accurate!"
“And it’s accurate and fast!”
"I'm confused. Is this a big shot from the provincial team here to fry fish?"
"No, he's probably a folk with special skills. The provincial team doesn't do any fancy shooting."
"Hawkeye! Does it look like you?"
"Brother is so awesome! Can you add VX? Let's play together next time."
Hearing this, Fang Chang looked at the sister and smiled.
Play together?
hehe.
How can this broken bow be as fun as his "Breaking Dawn"?
Among the store clerks who were watching nearby, someone held up his mobile phone to take a photo of the miraculous archery just now, and uploaded it to the short video APP.
Before even waiting for a minute, it instantly received hundreds of likes.
"Hey, I'm an old man." Looking at the target 50 meters away, Fang Chang shook his aching arms and sighed softly, "I've neglected to exercise."
pity.
After all, the body in reality is still not as good as the one in "Wasteland Online". He has only shot fifteen arrows, and his arms are already a little sore.
Fang Chang estimated that his panel data in reality would only be around 4.5, which might not be enough.
After all, he has been playing "Wasteland Online" these days. He would lie down with his helmet on at 6 p.m., and the trip lasted 12 hours, and he didn't get up until the next morning. He had never had the habit of eating breakfast before.
, since I got the helmet, I even skipped the meal at night.
In another game, he can not only shoot the running mutant hyena, but he can even catch up and finish it off.
At this time, the owner of the archery hall came over, looked at him with fiery eyes, and handed over the business card in his hand.
"Friends, have you considered looking for a job? The work in our club is very easy. You just need to guide customers in archery. Plus the commission for applying for a card, the monthly salary starts at least 10K!"
Just the unique skill just now, if made into a short video, it will definitely become popular!
Will the customers come in droves by then?
In just a short time, the number of likes on the short video uploaded by his clerk on his mobile phone has gone from over 100 to over 1,000!
"No, I'm used to being laid-back and don't really like to go to work."
Fang Chang took the business card from the store manager, smiled politely, returned the bow in his hand to the staff member, and turned around and left under the admiring gazes of the crowd.
…
Wasteland world.
In the industrial area of the outpost, [Yer, I want to go to the toilet] pushed a two-meter-wide trolley and rushed out of the steamy steel factory with a face full of excitement.
"It's done! Brother Mosquito! I've done it again! I can definitely do it this time!"
I saw a brass-colored machine and a lot of spare parts on the pallet truck. Although there was no name on this thing, it was not difficult to guess what it was used for just by looking at the big boiler.
.
Mosquito, who was walking towards the small workshop with raw materials in his arms, dropped the wooden box in the snow with a clang and gave Brother Suo a thumbs up excitedly.
"Brother is awesome!"
"It doesn't matter if it's awesome or not, hurry up and help me! Let's try it on and see if we can run this time!"
Carrying wrenches and pliers, two people, [Yar, I want to use the toilet rope] and [WC is really full of mosquitoes], hummingly assembled the brass-colored machine into shape.
Firewood was stuffed into the feed opening.
As the wood vaporizer starts working, the separated ignition is introduced into the combustion chamber and ignited, starting to heat the boiler containing water.
The water gradually begins to boil!
Waiting patiently for the pointers of the temperature indicator and pressure indicator to reach the threshold, the mosquito excitedly pulled down the rocker and opened the valve that controlled the steam.
High-heat steam enters the slide valve chamber through the main air valve and the throttle valve, and is controlled by the slide valve to alternately enter the left or right side of the cylinder, pushing the piston to move at high speed.
As for the cooled steam, it is introduced into the condenser through the pipe and recycled, condensed into water and then flows back to the boiler, where it is continued to be heated and the above cycle is repeated.
The piston moves faster and faster, driving the crankshaft connecting rod mechanism to start working, converting the reciprocating motion into the rotational motion of the crankshaft to output power to the outside world.
Teng Teng, who was standing aside and watching, was dumbfounded.
It took a while before she could hold back half a sentence.
"This... is a textile machine?"
WCThere are really mosquitoes shouting excitedly.
"No! This thing is a steam engine!"
"That's right! It's a steam engine! We used the most primitive tools to build a steam engine!" As he said that, Brother Wusuo held Mosquito's hand and said excitedly, "Brother, your skills are quite impressive!
Which school did you graduate from?"
"Hey, I graduated a long time ago. My main business is selling furniture. I like to tinker with some more interesting things when I'm not bored. But you, your hands-on ability is much better than that of the students I've seen. Use it on the right path.
, there will definitely be great things to do in the future!”
"Haha, leave me your contact information! Let's chat at VX!"
“Wait until you log off, I’ll send you a private message on the forum.”
"over!"
"...?"
Seeing the two people who had completely forgotten about him as a client and were chatting animatedly among themselves, Teng Teng almost cried with anger at them.
I’ve been waiting for almost a week and this is the result???
So there is a connection between this steam engine and the "textile machine order" she placed!
This chapter has been completed!
