On the way back, Yin Fang held the holographic videotape tightly with both hands, with a solemn expression, as if he was holding his own child.
My right hand rubbed it over and over again, until it almost became swollen.
Oh my god...
Fortunately, I remembered the password.
Chu Guang's eyes were stung by the sight, and he turned his face away like an old man with a cell phone on the subway. However, at this moment, Yin Fang suddenly looked at him with bright eyes.
"If I take this thing back, do you think the college will let me go? I'll give you that box, I don't want anything."
Chu Guang rolled his eyes at him.
"If I'm a little more polite to you, you'll think of me as a traitor."
Yin Fang's expression was stunned.
Chu Guang stretched out his hand easily and took the box of holographic videos from his arms without any effort.
"You know what? I didn't silence you, and I'm already very worthy of you."
Looking at the young man who was getting pale, Chu Guang did not continue to scare him, but smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Do you know what I encountered when I first came to this world...well, I mean when I woke up for the first time?"
Yin Fang swallowed, his voice trembling slightly.
"What happened..."
"A dog with two heads, it's like it ran out of hell to pick me up," Chu Guang said casually after stuffing the holographic video tape into his pocket, "If I had been a little slower at that time, I might have died.
In fact, I later discovered that if I had run east or north, I would have also been dead. It is a pure luck that I survived. I will cherish this life, so I advise you, it is best not to let it happen.
I think you're a threat."
To the west is the lake, which is a dead end. If you go north and collide with the predators, if you go east and run directly into the mutant's pot, you will end up worse than death.
Even thinking about it now, Chu Guang couldn't help but feel a cold sweat for himself.
Yin Fang opened his mouth, his expression looking a little dazed.
Chu Guang ignored him, folded his arms and closed his eyes to rest, sorting out the information previously obtained from the video tape, and thinking about how to edit it and update the holographic image on the official website.
The few young players sitting in the truck looked at each other in confusion, as if they had watched a foreign language movie without subtitles for a long time, with expressions of confusion on their faces.
Quan Shui hooked his fingers at the battlefield brother, motioned for him to come closer, and whispered in a low voice.
"How do you think we should prompt the manager to reward us?"
The battlefield brother looked confused.
"I don't know... just ask?"
Both of them were embarrassed to speak first.
At this time, I, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up.
"Master Manager! Have we completed our mission?"
Looking up and meeting a pair of expectant eyes, Chu Guang suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten to give the money.
The majestic expression on his face remained unchanged, he nodded calmly and said.
"You did a great job, you are all very good."
After thinking about it, Chu Guang finally decided to give the players a little sweetness. He selected a pre-edited task reward on the VM and clicked send.
[Tip: Trigger the hidden branch. 】
[Reward: 10 silver coins, 100 contribution points]
As for the sleeping cabins on the truck, that is the job of the warehouse manager, and Chu Guang is not responsible for helping them calculate how much the garbage is worth.
Seeing the prompt that popped up on the VM screen, the players' faces showed excited expressions.
Not to mention the 10 silver coins, there is actually a reward of 100 contribution points after the plot!
This is so cool!
Seeing them so happy made Chu Guang feel happy.
If only everyone in the wasteland were as cute as his little players.
The truck kept driving in the direction of the long-lasting farm.
However, at this moment, a gunshot suddenly sounded far ahead, and the bullets whizzed past the truck, and one of them even hit the front window.
"Enter the enemy!"
"It's a predator!"
There were quite a lot of people on the other side, and there were at least thirty gunshots in that salvo. However, these people were obviously amateurs, poorly equipped, and they fired from such a distance. No one fell.
The player who was driving was also a ruthless person. He saw clearly that the bullet was coming from the front, so he didn't panic at all. He turned the steering wheel slightly and skillfully drove the front of the car into the snow.
While preventing the engine from being damaged, he applied the handbrake and used the buffer of the snow to stop. He grabbed the rifle and jumped out of the car.
"The guy who pulls the big bolt is behind, and the brothers with the assault rifles follow me! We'll cover them from the flanks!"
"Ouch!"
"I'm coming!"
Seeing the opportunity to perform a meritorious service, the eyes of the players in the truck all glowed green, and they jumped out of the truck one after another. Only Commander Quanshui remained in the truck.
Although this guy also wanted to hit him, he only had a ten-man long pistol on him. He couldn't hit anyone from such a long distance, and he was afraid of losing his equipment if he hit him too close to the face.
Out of desperation, he shouted loudly.
"Come in quickly! I'll guard the house!"
As he said that, he symbolically fired a shot in front of him. Regardless of whether he hit or not, the combat status should be considered high anyway.
Bullets were flying beside him, and Yin Fang stood up from the carriage with his head covered, looking around nervously.
"what's the situation?!"
Could it be that someone from the college is chasing me?!
"It's a small scene, don't panic."
Chu Guang held the hammer in his right hand, but after seeing the situation on the other side clearly, he curled his lips, let go of the hammer and held the Gauss rifle.
The magazine contained imitation ammunition.
Armor-breaking is a bit unreliable, but it's more than enough to defeat this kind of miscellaneous soldiers...
…
At the same time, about thirty men in navy blue uniforms were lying behind a snowdrift three hundred meters in front of the truck.
They held uniform iron-barreled rifles in their hands. At first glance, they looked like captains of the legion, but they didn't have a single soldier under their command. They looked crooked and malnourished.
The man with bare face tattoos held a trumpet made of rolled iron in his hand, lying behind the bunker and shouting loudly.
"People in front of you, listen, have you seen the clothes we are wearing? You are surrounded by the legion! If you are wise, throw away your weapons and surrender! Otherwise, the punishment of the legion will be waiting for you!"
I shouted for a long time but got no response.
The other side seemed not to hear it, bullets still whizzed past their heads or landed on the bunker in front of them.
The man with a shaved mohawk looked nervously at the bald brother beside him and said with panic in his eyes.
"Boss! These people... are difficult to deal with!"
There was no response to their morale offensive!
He even felt that when the loudspeaker shouted, the other side would fight back even more fiercely.
The bald man cursed and slapped him on the head.
"Useless things, afraid of a hammer! Counting the drivers, there are only nine of them. We have 32 guns here, can't we kill them? Hit me! Don't let them run away!"
After finishing speaking, he added another sentence.
"By the way, don't beat them all to death! If we leave two hostages, we have to ask the people in their village for ransom!"
The bald man's name was Tu, and he was originally a predator active in the central area of the River Valley Province. As for why he ended up in the southernmost part of the River Valley Province, it's a long story.
The legion has been fighting the people of the Great Rift Valley in the north for a whole year, and the progress has not been very smooth. A few days ago, they suffered a huge defeat. General Klass's subordinates were killed, injured, and escaped.
, the whole army was defeated like a mountain.
People who fled from the north said that the remnants of the legion were like locusts, no grass grew wherever they passed, and even alien species had to go around.
Tu naturally didn't believe such nonsense, so he just thought that the fool was frightened and was talking nonsense in order to survive. He had people drag him out, drain the blood, and throw it into a pot to drink.
Legion?
Hehe, isn't that the defeated general of the Great Rift Valley?
Why don't you give him equipment when he comes?
However, Tu himself may not have expected that on the third day after he and his boys were bragging about turning the legion commander's head into a chamber pot, deserters from the legion actually ran to the small town in front of his home.
Not many people came, only nine captains of ten and not a single clone slave. These people may have been blown crazy by the cannonballs from the Great Rift Valley, or they may have been blown mad by their own cannonballs. In short, they were killed.
When his eyes are red, he will shoot twice when he sees someone, but he won't even say hello.
Tu, who had hundreds of brothers under his command, was naturally not afraid of them, so he surrounded them with his men, and sure enough, he managed to finish off the other side in no time.
However, something happened that made Tu stunned. More than a hundred people attacked nine people, and the casualties were exchanged for one. He was so angry that he beheaded the only prisoner he captured on the spot, and even asked for the ransom.
All forgotten!
Within two days, another wave of deserters came. This time there were slightly more captains of ten, twelve of them, and they also brought with them seventeen or eight clone slaves. They were not like the last batch of madmen.
Instead of killing everyone on sight, they picked an area where survivors gathered and occupied it directly.
That settlement had paid Tu a protection fee. Seeing that his meal ticket was gone, Tu couldn't bear it, so he led others to surround him.
However, this fight was unstoppable. He was stunned by the fact that one-third of his opponent's bullets were lost. Instead of running out of bullets, he almost lost the fight.
This time Tu was really frightened. He finally understood the terror of locusts. Within a week, thirty or forty of his brothers died, and countless others were injured.
Even if they make a living by looting, they cannot bear such exaggerated losses.
Hearing that deserters from the legion were coming again, Tu was so frightened that he didn't even dare to fight this time, so he just took his cronies, packed up his things and ran south.
After experiencing ups and downs along the way, half of the people on the road dispersed, and finally they found a stronghold for survivors who seemed to be living a prosperous life.
However, the people here don't seem to be easy to mess with. The soldiers standing on the wall are all holding uniform rifles, and the smoke floating in the camp never stops. I can only see a hundred people living outside, and a few people living inside.
No one knows how many people there are.
Tu did not act rashly, and did not even dare to get too close. He found a high ground in the north and looked over there with his binoculars.
After waiting like this for two full days, when the brothers could hardly hold it in any longer, they finally got the chance to take action.
A truck headed towards the abandoned urban area to the north. There were not many people on the truck, only a few.
Tu did not hesitate, immediately seized the opportunity, and led his men to ambush them on their way back, preparing to ambush them and eat them.
However, what Tu didn't expect was that things didn't seem to be progressing as smoothly as he had expected. After those people were hit head-on, not only did they not panic as expected, they even had people outflank them.
At this moment, something suddenly exploded next to him, making a "pop" sound, startling Tu who was about to lean out of the bunker and open fire.
"Fuck, what are you doing?" Tu turned around suddenly. It didn't matter what he saw. He was frightened on the spot.
I saw one of his brothers, whose head seemed to have been blasted by a cannon. His entire brain was blown away, leaving only half of his neck standing there, with blood pouring out uncontrollably.
Before he could react to what happened, another explosion came from the side.
This brother was even worse than the last one. He was even covered with a cover and had a big hole in his chest. He fell to the ground and struggled for a while before swallowing the half-breath hanging on his lips.
This time it wasn't just Tu who was confused.
The predator brothers standing next to him were also stunned, and even forgot to shoot for a while.
"...What kind of weapon is that!?"
"It's the guy in the truck!"
"Fuck! Gauss rifle?! Why do they have Gauss rifles!"
The Marauders had heard rumors about the Gauss Rifle. Although they didn't know how it worked, they heard that it could penetrate power armor with one shot and was even more effective than the Legion's anti-material rifle.
When they heard it was a Gauss rifle, everyone panicked and did not dare to show their heads to fight back. However, the more this happened, the more dangerous their situation became.
The predator with a mohawk looked at the boss and said in fear.
"Boss, let's withdraw!"
If you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. If you continue to fight, you might be wiped out by others. It's hard to find four-legged sheep, but there are many two-legged sheep. This survivor stronghold will chew them.
If it doesn't move, the worst case scenario is to replace it.
Tu was still hesitating. Reason told him that he should withdraw, but he couldn't bear to let the fat sheep go. Even with a Gauss rifle, their side still had the upper hand. As long as he divided some people,
Go around them from the side
Just when he was thinking this, gunshots came from another direction, and then a row of bullets hit their backs.
Caught off guard, several looters at the back screamed and died.
Tu was shocked and quickly looked back, only to see a group of people killing him from the direction of Yumu District at some unknown moment.
And there are a lot of people!
There are about a dozen of them!
"Boss! Their reinforcements have arrived!"
"Shut your mouth, I need you to remind me! Damn it!" Tu was shocked and angry. He quickly sent some manpower to fill in the west direction to prevent reinforcements from continuing to advance this way.
He couldn't figure out how these people were able to provide support so quickly. It only took ten minutes from the time the gunshots were fired to the present.
Even if you react, you have to react for a while, right?!
The situation was instantly reversed. Two groups of men and horses were moving from east to west, trapping them on a gentle slope running from north to south!
There are people on both the west and east sides. No matter which side of the reverse slope is used as a cover, they will be pinned on the halfway slope and beaten by the other side.
After a while, several more people fell to the ground, and several more were blown to pieces by Gauss rifles.
In just ten minutes, casualties approached 30%. How could these rabble-rousers have the courage to continue fighting?
Tu could no longer control his subordinates.
Everyone lost their fighting positions and fled to the north, running like they were dying. However, both their physical strength and physical fitness were far inferior to those of the players who ate three meals a day.
Especially in the eyes of players, these fleeing looters are like walking silver coins, contributions, and regional reputation!
This is an encounter triggered near a long-term farm. Giving an area a reputation of one or two hundred is not too much, right?
The kind and generous manager is here. Even if the dog planner Aguang picks it up, Shuguang, who has server authority, will definitely not be stingy with this little reward!
Looking at their escaping figures, the chasing little players were like hungry wolves with green eyes, howling and chasing after them one after another.
"Don't run!"
"Hand in the gun and don't kill!"
"Hold your head and squat down!"
During this period of time, some veteran players learned a few words that NPCs could understand, and started shouting loudly. However, a few looters actually understood, and threw away their weapons and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.
In the entire encounter, the players suffered 0 deaths and 3 injuries, all of which were minor injuries. One of them chased too hard and tripped over a tree root buried in the snow, stubbing his nose.
It would definitely hurt for a long time in reality, but in the game it would be fine even if you just leave it alone.
As for the looters, it was so miserable. A total of 11 people died and 26 were captured.
Each player who participated in the battle was given a reward of 50 silver, 50 tribute and 100 regional reputation. Chu Guang then ordered the young players who were cheering for victory to escort the captives to the open space in front of the north gate of Jiujiu Farm, holding their heads in both hands.
Squatting on the ground.
Leading two guards to the prisoners of war, Chu Guang glanced at the navy blue coats they were wearing and asked.
"Are you from the Legion? Who is your commander?"
Tu, who was bruised and swollen from the fall, tremblingly wanted to raise his hands, but before he could speak, the little guy next to him answered tremblingly.
"I, we are not, adults."
That's just a common predator.
Chu Guang understood in his heart and continued to look at them and ask.
"What about your clothes? Where did they come from?"
Tu, who was squatting aside, said quickly.
"The legion in the north suffered a defeat. I heard that the leader of the expeditionary force, General Krass, was executed by the people in the Rift Valley. The deserters from the legion were either running to the west or south, killing everyone they saw like locusts. We are wearing these clothes.
The weapons and guns were all picked up from the deserters of the captains of ten."
This suit of clothing is very useful, especially in the north. Many survivors were frightened to death when they saw this navy blue coat, and turned around and ran away.
Tu Ye wondered if these people were not afraid.
The Legion lost?
Chu Guang was surprised, but not surprised.
Such heavy snow must be even more unfriendly to the attackers with long supply lines. If he were the general of the expeditionary force, he would definitely consider launching a decisive battle before the situation worsened to completely determine the outcome.
If you win your own home, you will live in the enemy's home.
The appearance of Vanus confirmed his suspicion that these people could no longer fight. But what Chu Guang didn't expect was that the expeditionary force was defeated so completely that even General Klass was killed.
The defeated troops of the legions caused chaos everywhere, and even the plunderers were forced to go south.
I'm afraid this winter won't be easy...
Seeing Chu Guang deep in thought, Old Luka thought that he was not sure how to deal with these prisoners, so he stepped forward and suggested in a low voice.
"Sir, if you are not sure what to do, you may wish to refer to my suggestions."
"explain."
"We are in need of manpower for work now. It would be a pity to kill them directly. It is better to send them to do coolies and wait until next spring. Depending on the situation, whether to keep them or sell them to the mines in Honghe Town."
This is a good idea.
Chu Guang nodded.
But there's still a problem.
"The Guards don't have enough manpower. What if someone escapes?"
Old Luca continued.
"This is actually easy to solve. New prisoners of war and old prisoners of war are mixed together, and they are divided into one cell. If one is missing, the other three will be hanged."
Chu Guang's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea, how did you come up with it?"
Luka smiled slightly awkwardly, lowered his head and said respectfully.
"My lord, this is not a very unusual thing...many slavery survivor strongholds did this."
All right.
It seems that I am too kind.
Chu Guang sighed in his heart, then looked at the plunderers, with a majestic expression on his face, looking down at them and said.
"I originally planned to hang you on the gallows, but killing prisoners is not an act of justice."
Looking at the trembling prisoners, he continued.
"From today on, you will accept the transformation of labor and strive to become something useful to society, civilization, and mankind."
After speaking, Chu Guang looked at old Luka without looking at them.
"I'll leave these people to you."
Old Luca nodded respectfully.
"Yes, sir."

Quit smoking: "Wait a minute, why did the prosperity increase when there were barbarian activities?"
Fang Chang: "Because those people are too weak, it is no different from giving away their heads. However, I think that only adding 10 points is too little. Maybe it is because of the impact of predator activities on local security and immigration."

Irena: "@Canyon at large mole, you know (nosebleed)"
Crow Crow: "I'll kill you.^o^"
After returning to the shelter, Chu Guang browsed around the official website, especially checking the progress of conquering the entrance to Shelter 117.
Brother Mole is very capable. He and Mosquito worked together to develop a set of cancer-fighting tactics, which involves finding a cute new agility-type monster to pull in, then pull the monster up and focus fire to kill it.
The monsters in "Wasteland OL" have no chasing distance limit. For those monsters that do not have a fixed nest, in theory, as long as you are cunning enough, the monsters can chase you to the ends of the earth.
They have already killed 2 crawlers with this method!
Brother Mole thought he had discovered a bug and didn't dare to explain it clearly on the forum, but what he didn't know was that the VM would record their communication information and secretly upload it to the cloud.
Chu Guang could guess their route of action without Xiao Qi's help.
In addition to Brother Mole, another relatively active closed beta player on the forum today is Brother "European Emperor" Quan Shui.
This guy found 10 hibernation pods, all of which were in good condition. He got a total of 700 silver coins, one point with two teammates, and each person averaged 233.3 silver coins.
This does not include the income from the subsequent battles and plots.
In addition, Brother Quan Shui also opened a separate post, Amway introduced Mosquito's "Steel Nail 1.0" and called it a melee weapon.
"Brother Meng, believe me, Brother Mosquito can be reliable sometimes. I swear, I have never seen a more useful melee weapon than this thing! At that time, I was knocked down by a crawler and was about to be bitten.
To break his neck, I made a quick decision and clenched my fist, and then with a bang, the creeper's head was punctured! It was simple and crude, killing him with one blow! I would like to call it the strongest version!"
Ye Shi: "Tell me, how much money did Mosquito give you to advertise without conscience. (Funny)"
There are really mosquitoes in WC: "Gan! What do you mean, it can be reliable occasionally, but my hellfire and storm are not reliable? How about some stronger ones!"
Garbage Picking Level 99: "I testify! Occasionally, mosquitoes can be reliable, but it is a bit labor-intensive. Last time I carried a boiler and rushed into the trenches and had a great time. It took three days to get online."
WC really has mosquitoes: “Pay back the money!”
Trash Picking Level 99: "QAQ"
Chu Guang, who was peeking at the screen, couldn't help but sigh.
"These guys are really talented."
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Chu Guang didn't even look up and responded casually.
"Please come in."
I thought it was Boss Xia who came to harass him again, but unexpectedly the person who came was Yin Fang.
As soon as the young man entered the door, he didn't say anything. He stood with his head lowered for a while before he spoke with a look of shame on his face.
"I……"
"I have to apologize to you."-
(Today should also be 10,000 days. I can’t stand it anymore. Next week’s update may be a bit unstable. I will continue to challenge 10,000 days next week...)
