Luo Hua and Ai Si continued to build the barracks, but the players surrounding them were impatient to wait and whispered to each other impatiently.
“The movements of these NPCs are too slow!”
“That’s right! Why is it so hard to build a shed?”
“Can’t we just set up a table and get things done first? I don’t know how to work around it!”
“How long will it take for these NPCs to take up their duties? Can you give me a progress bar? I want to cut down two trees first.”
“It’s too slow! I can’t stand it anymore. I want to open a new map and move bricks on the new map!”
If Luo Hua and Ai Si knew that the residents of these shelters were complaining about their inefficiency, they didn't know what kind of expressions they would show.
Happy?
After all, people are in a hurry to get to work.
Speechless?
It’s not without reason, after all, no one likes to be rushed.
But the two of them couldn’t understand it.
Just like the surrounding players couldn't understand, the NPC named Luo Hua was chattering something incessantly.
“Don’t these blue coats have anything else to do except watch the fun? Why don’t you come up and help us if you are so free?”
Aisi: “……”
Luo Hua: “Speaking of which, what should we eat for lunch?”
Aisi: “Freeze-dried food.”
Luo Hua: "Hey, okay, I guessed it was freeze-dried food. When I think of those people sitting in an air-conditioned room drinking hot cocoa and playing poker, while I have to chat with a group of blue jackets, I just want to ask
Is this reasonable? I would rather not get that 50CR daily subsidy! Speaking of which, what is the use of money in this damn place? The indigenous people don’t want these waste papers at all. How many times is this?”
Aisi: “……”
Perhaps realizing that he was a little annoyed, Luo Hua sighed.
"Okay... I admit that I talk a bit too much, let's get to work quickly."
Aisi: “Agree.”
While it's not snowing now, we need to shore up the barracks first.
Taking out the folding stand from the box that Aisi carried earlier, Luo Hua carefully marked four points on the ground with the help of a protractor, inserted the stand securely, and then surrounded the four walls with plastic sheets.
The frame of a model house is just like this.
Of course, this is not over yet.
Luo Hua then used a marker and a ruler to draw doors and windows on the plastic film. Aisi on the side held a metal can with a nozzle and sprayed gray foam on the transparent plastic film.
These foams are very light, highly adhesive, fine and even in texture, with no pores visible to the naked eye, and a matte texture on the surface.
Luo Hua took out a folding spatula and skillfully spread the foam sprayed on the plastic film evenly.
The whole job looks as easy as spreading cream on plastic wrap.
The light gray foam was quickly pasted on the plastic film. After it was completely solidified, the color of the foam gradually became darker, and the whole became a foam wall that looked no different from concrete.
Of course, it just looks like it.
If you touch it with your hands, there is a big difference in texture between polymer materials and silicate materials.
Standing aside, [Leave a Person Under the Knife] stared straight in the eyes and kept talking.
"What the hell? What kind of material is this? Polyurethane? It doesn't look like it... just spray it on the plastic film? Can this thing be used as an exterior wall?"
Ye Shi said with a playful smile: "Be more imaginative. The background setting is in the future. Is it weird to build a house with foam?"
Le Xia Ren held it in for a while, and finally convinced himself.
“That’s right, it’s a game after all.”
As a game setting, it is not unacceptable.
The first foam wall was completed quickly, and the second wall was completed in the same manner. When the two NPCs completed the construction of the second wall, the first wall was completely dry.
In less than 30 minutes, a mobile barracks that is windproof, rainproof, and warm was completed.
Although the shelf life is less than one year and the quality is not as reliable as the serious "silicate materials", it is completely sufficient as a temporary facility!
Ch Guang, who was standing on the third floor of the nursing home, looked at him with envy.
These guys really have a lot of good stuff.
Have to find a way to do something...
At this time, old Luca, who had returned from outside, walked towards the guests who had come from afar and handed Luo Hua a VM.
Luo Hua gave the old man a strange look and did not reach out to pick it up.
“We don’t bring this stuff.”
Old Luca said respectfully.
“This is what the administrator ordered me to send to you. It can help you have some simple communication with the residents of these shelters.”
Only then did Luo Hua remember the language barrier, so she stopped refusing and took over the VM from Luca.
"OK, thanks."
Luca nodded slightly.
"You're welcome."
…
After the barracks was built, two signs, one large and one small, were put up at the door, which read in Chinese characters "Pioneer Office at Outpost No. 404" and "Volunteer Registration Office".
That’s right.
These words were written by Chu Guang and they look quite neat.
At the same time, almost all players near the outpost received a message reminder on their VM, and players without VM also heard the broadcast echoing in the base.
【Server Announcement: Quartermaster NPC is now online! A new building has been added to the outpost - the "Pioneer" office in Outpost 404!】
[Quartermaster Luo Hua: Dear residents of Vault 404, I salute you! I am the quartermaster from the "Pioneer". Our land-based fortress has encountered a little trouble. This request may be a bit presumptuous,
But we need you!]
【Tip 1: The quartermaster from the Pioneer seems to be troubled. An exclamation mark appears on the map. Go and talk to him quickly.】
[Tip 2: The VM character page is now updated with exclusive activity scores for the expansion pack. Go to the new area to perform tasks to get activity scores! Characters without VM can check their scores at NPC Luka or administrator assistant Xiaoqi, or after going offline
Log in to the official website to view!]
There was a human wall surrounding the entrance of the barracks.
Almost the moment they received the announcement, the players ran so fast that they almost overturned the table at the door.
“Me me me! Tails want to sign up!”
“Choose me! I’m a power type! I’m great at moving bricks!”
“Gan! You have so much energy to move bricks! Stop crowding, I’m going to be dead!”
"How can we squeeze in?" Crow Crow, who couldn't squeeze through, stood on the edge of the crowd and stamped her feet anxiously. She stood on her toes and looked inside. This look made her whole person despair.
The volume collision in this game is so annoying!
It would be great if you could pass through other players like other MMORPGs.
"Give it up," Teng Teng looked up at her and sighed, looking at the sky. "It feels like an Internet celebrity milk tea shop suddenly opened downstairs. Anyway, I can never get in line, so I might as well wait for them.
Try it after it cools down."
Crow Crow suddenly came to his senses.
“It makes sense... Anyway, it rotates every three days, so we can still wait for the first wave of players’ strategies.”
Teng Teng nodded in agreement.
“Yes?”
Unexpectedly, the residents here were so enthusiastic. Luo Hua, who was in charge of the registration list, was caught off guard for a while.
Aisi, who was standing next to him, was also stunned.
She actually saw a bear in the crowd?
And it’s a white bear.
“…How come there is a bear?”
Luo Hua, who was sweating profusely, couldn't care about this. He only took pictures with a tablet to register, and hurriedly issued numbered work badges to people.
“Who knows, it’s probably their pet... Come and help me!”
Aisi: “……”
This was the first time she had seen such a well-behaved bear, and it looked so furry.
Well.
A little bit like RUA.
There was chaos at the door of the office.
Fortunately, the manager had anticipated this situation in advance and sent a helper over to assist him in completing the registration work.
After completing the personnel registration.
Luo Hua set up a cauldron and antenna on the barracks. After a brief debugging, he finally received the contact signal from the Pioneer.
The voice of a colleague from the logistics department came over the radio.
“…How is the situation over there?”
Luo Hua: "It went very smoothly, beyond my imagination! These blue-coated people were so enthusiastic. Our office had just opened and they all came in droves... To be honest, I was a little touched.
To think that there is such a group of kind people living in a remote inland area!"
There was silence on the communication channel for a while.
Li De coughed dryly and continued.
“…It’s quite surprising.”
Luo Hua: "Forget about my side, how long will it take for you to arrive? They look like they can't wait."
Li De: "We are almost there, our captain is still 2 kilometers away from you."
Luo Hua: “Captain?”
Li De: "Yes, he personally led the team to escort our reinforcements."
…
With his shoulder leaning against the door of the weapons store and a piece of frozen foxtail grass in his mouth, Xia Yan looked at the bustle at the entrance of the office from a distance.
Today, no players came to bother her. They all went to queue up for the new "NPC".
Having worked here for so long, she has accepted the identity of "NPC".
However, occasionally she would be confused by this identity, because Chu Guang always emphasized the difference between NPCs and players, and said that NPCs rarely call themselves NPCs, just like players rarely call themselves players.
So what does this identity mean?
This role play is really weird.
At this time, Chu Guang walked towards her direction holding a long spindle-shaped weapon.
“I need you to help me make something. This is a sample. The material should be tungsten steel or other metals with a higher melting point. Others can be copied in a one-to-one ratio.”
“Okay, I’ll help you take a look at it later.”
Hand out his hand to take the strange-shaped shuttle, Xia Yan looked at the exoskeleton on Chu Guang's body curiously and asked, "Where did you get this exoskeleton?"
Seeing that someone finally noticed the difference between him and yesterday, Chu Guang showed a smile on his face.
“Handsome.”
"It's okay," Xia Yan couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he saw this guy's stinking look, "So where did you get it from?"
“Picked up.”
Xia Yan: “……”
Chu Guang smiled and said: "Just kidding, I found it in the shelter."
Xia Yan looked helpless and said: "I'm just asking casually. If it's not convenient for you to answer, forget it. How do you get in touch with people in the company?"
“They came yesterday and helped us deal with the mutants on Street 76... Is there any problem?”
Noticing Xia Yan's strange expression, Chu Guang couldn't help but cast a questioning look at her.
“No, I just find it a bit incredible,” Xia Yan looked at the two people not far away with an intriguing expression, “A long, long time ago, the company’s expeditionary force came to Qingquan City.”
"Expedition?"
"Yes, but that was all a long time ago. And I heard that the 'Enterprise' is very big, and there are so many internal factions, gathered along the east coast. I heard that they were not called the Enterprise at first, but because they often changed their vests, others called them
I simply called them the name "Enterprise". Later, they may have gotten used to it, or they may have felt that this vest was the most famous, so they started to call themselves "Enterprise"."
Chu Guang looked at her in surprise.
“Do you still know this?”
Xia Yan said nonchalantly: "This is not a secret, but the expeditionary force is a bit old. I wasn't even born at that time."
Chu Guang: "Then do you know what they are here for?"
"What else can we do? They said it was an expeditionary force, so it must be a war?" Xia Yan gave him a strange look, "Anyway, I only heard that they lost in the end. After that, it was difficult to see their people in the entire Qingquan City.
, but we can often see their caravans coming over to do business.”
It seems that the folk customs in Qingquan City are quite strong.
But think about it, there are thousands of kilometers of straight-line distance and tens of thousands of kilometers of supply lines. It would be crazy if we don't lose.
Hearing some interesting information, Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction.
“Okay, I’ll talk to you when I get back. I plan to go out. If anything happens, please contact Xiaoqi and she can find me.”
Xia Yan: "Where are you going? What kind of fortress is that?"
"What are you going there for?" Chu Guang glanced at the map on the VM and set a coordinate on it. "There is a signal tower on Street 76. It should be near the mutant's lair. I plan to go there to look for it.
, see if it can be fixed."
Luca is helping to watch over the "Pioneer", so there is no need for Chu Guang to go there in person. His players are his eyes, and what they see will naturally be shared on the forum.
The top priority now is to repair the signal tower.
With the signal tower repaired, the communication radius of Shelter 404 can cover at least the entire northern suburbs of Qingquan City, and the range of drone activities will also be further expanded.
At that time, whether it is sending tasks to players or peeking at his little players, it will be much more convenient than it is now.
“You’d better pay attention to your safety, why don’t you bring two people with you?”
This is definitely not out of concern, Xia Yan is simply worried that she will lose this meal ticket.
Even her father, who died who knows where, didn't raise her like this. It doesn't matter whether he is a devil or not. Now she feels that being a devil is pretty good.
"makes sense."
Chu Guang thought about it and thought it made sense.
However, now players’ interests are all focused on the expansion pack, and they may not be interested in doing ordinary tasks.
But Chu Guang was not in a hurry, it would only take a while anyway.
There are currently 250 players in the server, and his contract with Captain Lu Yang only promised to send 200 workers. This also means that no matter how hard they fight, there will definitely be 50 young players who will not be qualified in a while, beating their chests and feeling heartbroken.
Absolutely.
As a manager with high emotional intelligence, Chu Guang felt it was necessary to comfort them who were hurt inside.
Um.
When the time comes, pick two high-quality human cannon fodder and follow you for a walk near the mutant lair.
