The distant rolling thunder disturbed the tranquility of Qingquan City.
Behind the ruins buried in the snow, in the boulder city located on the edge of the Third Ring Road, people walking through the corner alleys raised their heads.
“What is that sound?”
“Thunder on snowy days is quite rare.”
“It wasn’t thunder...it was kind of like something exploded.”
“North? I heard the fight has been going on for a long time.”
“Maybe we’re going to Qingquan City. There’s nothing good here for those country bumpkins to worry about.”
“You’ve already told me that I’m a country bumpkin, and you still expect me to not care about you?”
“What if we really call? Mr. Fang will definitely find a way!”
You can’t see too far from here.
"Citizens" who can survive in the city will never go outside. The poor people who live at the foot of the concrete wall will go outside to scavenge, but they usually don't go too far.
In the bar on the corner of the street, a few experienced mercenaries heard some clues from the explosion, but they just shook their heads and continued to drink the beer that was diluted by water, not even interested in talking about it.
No matter what happens there, it is not something they should be concerned about. Even if there is a lot of work there, it is unrealistic to go to the northern suburbs of Qingquan City from the edge of the Third Ring Road in this damn weather.
After all, poor guys like them have no chance to fly...
Central of the inner city.
The top floor of the dark building.
A man in a neat formal suit stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with a meticulous expression on his face.
Of course, the northern suburbs of Qingquan City cannot be seen from here. Boulder City is surrounded by high-rise buildings. No matter which direction you look at, you can only see a gray ruin.
but.
His eyes are not just here.
Looking at the reflection on the floor-to-ceiling windows, he whispered to himself.
“Even nuclear bombs were used.”
There was a response in my ears.
“Yes, my lord.”
“What’s the ending? Who wins.”
“Looks like he’s from a company.”
The man nodded.
The Legion's combat effectiveness is very strong, but after all, it is restrained by the people in the Great Rift Valley. There are fewer people on the Enterprise side, but they have advantages in equipment and logistics.
The probability of victory or defeat was originally 4:6, but the moment the tactical nuclear bomb was dropped, it became 3:7. If the Legion did not have a stronger trump card, it is reasonable that they would lose.
Of course, this is an analysis from the perspective of a spectator. After all, there is a big difference between war and playing poker. Even with a 1/10 chance of winning, there is still a possibility of winning.
but.
The casino is expected to be very busy today.
Those who bet on the legion to win will probably have to lose a lot.
“Do you want to intervene?” the voice next to my ear asked.
"If the captain of the legion is still alive, buy him and wait for the legion's envoy to come as a favor."
The voice continued to ask: "What if he dies?"
"Then say hello to the people in the company and remind them to use less radioactive weapons. The aftermath of those things will be very troublesome."
Whether it is a legion or an enterprise, it is best to have less involvement in their conflicts. This is the River Valley Province, and no matter which one of them is too far away from here.
“We’d better not get involved in their conflicts. It will be troublesome to offend anyone, and there will be no benefit to pleasing anyone.”
“But after all, it happened on our territory.”
“Send someone to mediate.”
…
Brown Farm.
Looking at the fire rising in the distance, the farmer hiding in the house shivered and kept mumbling.
“Nuclear bomb…tactical nuclear bomb…”
The young daughter looked at her father in confusion.
"dad?"
"Don't worry, honey," his wife put her hand on his shoulder and said softly, "it's far away from us."
"roll!"
The man waved his hand angrily, but accidentally hit the little daughter's face with the back of his hand, knocking her head away.
Electric sparks danced on the solitary neck.
The wife was stunned for a moment, sighed softly, and walked towards her head in silence.
Looking at the head that fell to the ground, the man was slightly startled and quickly calmed down, but he still couldn't help but mumble.
“Damn it... we won’t have to fight again.”
“We’ve spent enough money this year! Let me stop for a while!”
…
Bate Street.
A group of survivors looked at the sky not far away. Looking from here towards Linghu Lake, they could only see a small beam of light.
Many people came out of the shacks, looking at the light in the distance and whispering.
Yu Hu glanced at his elder brother and asked in a low voice.
“Brother, what is that?”
Yu Xiong frowned.
“I don’t know. It doesn’t look like it’s from Linghu. It seems to be farther away...Yumu District?”
For the survivors of Beit Street, it was a quite unfamiliar name. It was only occasionally heard from scavengers from the north. It was said to be an old city covered by forests, not to mention usable garbage.
Not even a complete brick can be picked up.
Yu Xiong has only been there once in his entire life, following the tracks of a herd of deer. When he came back, he took a long way to avoid the bloody people.
Yu Hu said blankly.
“Are you far from Brother Chu and the others?”
Yu Xiong nodded.
“It’s quite far, about 20 kilometers away.”
“Oh, that’s okay,” Yu Hu breathed a sigh of relief and scratched the back of his head and said, “I’ll go see Xiaoyu tomorrow. She’s been away from home for a while.”
Yu Xiong also missed his little sister a little and said.
“Go and see her, I hope she is doing well over there.”
Yu Hu: “Brother, how about we go together?”
“I’ll forget it, the guard still has to train, we still have patrol duties every day,” Yu Xiong rubbed his brother’s head, “If you have time, you’d better go to the castle to learn Braille. Anyway, there is time in winter.”
That school opened by old Charlie?
Isn’t that what children do?
Yu Hu remembered that there were mostly children under the age of 16. The adults in the family sent their children there to learn writing and arithmetic in order to save money for two meals.
“Why should I learn that thing...” Yu Hu said blankly.
Yu Xiong didn’t know how to explain it. After all, he himself was illiterate. He couldn’t write his name until he went to night school recently, so he could only say something vague.
“Anyway, this is something Brother Chu got. Just learn it. It will definitely be useful.”
Outpost several kilometers away.
Hearing the sound, Xia Yan walked out of the weapon shop with his cane in hand, looked at the flickering light in the north, and whispered in a daze.
“…Tactical nuclear bombs? These people fought too hard.”
Tactical nuclear bombs with a yield of less than 1 ton can be bought with chips in Boulder City, but few people will buy them.
On the one hand, it is expensive.
On the one hand, it is dangerous.
Many alien species are keen to make their homes in areas with dense radioactivity. Extremely dangerous alien species such as split-claw crabs, night devils, and death scorpions are particularly fond of it. The radioactive energy will make them as excited as if they were on drugs, and
Brutal.
If it is in an urban area, it will usually become a breeding ground for gnawers and crawlers. If it is in the countryside, it is hard to say what strange species will be attracted.
At this time, Xia Yan suddenly noticed a small figure at the door of the nursing home, looking at the northern sky like her.
The light of the torch at the door flickered.
Even from a distance, she could see those big black eyes, full of fear and worry.
Sighing, she walked over and put her hand on Xiaoyu's head.
“What is that?” Xiaoyu asked in a low voice.
Xia Yan rarely slowed down his tone and comforted her softly.
"It's not a good thing...but it's okay. They are all very strong and nothing will happen to them. Go back quickly, it's getting late."
…
Because of a sudden detonation of a tactical nuclear bomb, survivors throughout the northern suburbs of Qingquan City were panicked.
Although occasionally a fool will throw a nuclear bomb to explode alien species, the power is much smaller than this, with an equivalent of only a few hundred kilograms or about one ton, and the sound is not that loud.
Some people say that the army came from the north.
But no one can explain why the Legion came to this place where birds don’t shit.
Some people also say that super mutants appeared, and local survivors detonated tactical nuclear bombs in order to survive.
But no one can think of any other survivor colony in the northern suburbs that has this ability and can actually deal with super mutants.
In contrast, the official website of "Wasteland OL" is as lively as a festival at the moment.
In fact, in-game activities are no different from festivals for players.
On the forum.
Quit smoking: "Holy shit, I'm so torn! I walked 10 kilometers and didn't even see the construction site. A shell was taken away by me! (Crying)"
Irena: "Fighting for two minutes and running for two hours is a real achievement for the squad. (Funny)"
Ye 10: "Hey, old man, are you coming down again?"
Irena: “You call me Lao Na again! (`Д′*)9 ”
Garbage Picking Level 99: "It's so cool! I'm so blown away hahahaha! I rushed into the trench with a sliding shovel, and my claws rattled and killed me! It's these little monsters who don't have martial ethics, and they actually used a bunch of grenades to blow me up!
"
WC is really a mosquito: "Next time, you have to pay for the boiler. It's not expensive. I'll just charge you the cost price, which is 100 silver coins. (Squints)"
Ye Shi: "There are so many familiar IDs. By the way, how many people have died this time?"
Irena: "There are at least 20 of them. Anyway, when I came down, there was a row of people in front of me... Hey, the automatic rifle was pretty cool. I rushed over and it was a slap in the face, but it's a pity that there are still two people left.
If you don’t finish the magazine, you will die. (Funny)”
Xiao Xiaoxiao Bookworm: "There must be more than twenty, maybe it will be over a hundred this time! Wait for a friend who has been replaced by a teammate to come down."
Makabazi: "Hahahahahaha! Are you stupid for making me laugh so much? Are you coming down to accompany me this time?"
Ye Shi: "Don't brag. We died in the team battle after all. After counting the loot, we still have money to get. Anyway, I think it's worth it. (Funny)"
Irena: "Indeed, the scene was quite spectacular, it was eye-catching, especially the wave that followed with the power armor. Anyway, I think it was worth it. (Funny)"
Makabazi: “#[email protected]!"
Just all the trash guys came on stage, and Brother Maka completely broke the defense.
The forum was once again filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and everyone was speculating on the final benefits of this war.
It is unrealistic to buy a power armor. In other games, that thing has to be level 30 equipment at least. Basically, you don’t have to expect too much in the early stage.
But it’s always okay to buy a gun, right?
After waiting for a long time, almost noon in the real world, someone finally brought the battle report from the front line.
Elf King Fugui: "Brothers, I've been killed! A total of 117 people were killed, more than half of them died. It's so tragic! But the opposite side is even worse than us. I heard that there were more than 2,000 corpses pulled out of the trenches, not a single one of them.
The tools are complete! But this time we probably made a fortune. We captured 5 light trucks, and we don’t know how much supplies we put in the fortifications! Now it depends on how the spoils are divided!"
Ye Shi: "Hey, my requirements are not high. I just hope that I can buy the automatic rifle. If it doesn't work, you can just remove the red dot sight and sell it to me separately. A gun with a mirror and a gun without a mirror are just the same.
It’s two weapons.”
WC There are really mosquitoes: “Agree!”
Trash Picking Level 99: "You agree with me! You are the most wretched. You keep all the guns you buy in the warehouse and never take them with you!"
WC There are really mosquitoes: "Gan! Didn't I come down to accompany you!"
Trash Picking Level 99: "Don't pretend I didn't see it, you blew it up yourself with a grenade!"
Ye 10: “Pfft.”
Makabazi: “Hahahahahaha!”
WC There are really mosquitoes: "I'm sorry!"
In any case, this battle was successfully fought.
As for the loot, you can't worry about it even if you want to, that's a matter of the game program.
Everyone expressed that they just hope that the planner dad can be a person, and considering that we don’t know how long it will take to go online, the death benefit can be slightly higher.
The requirements are not high, 200 silver coins is quite reasonable.
It would be better if it could reach 300 silver.
The topic at the end of the forum was gradually dominated by P Club players and players. It was better to move the machine gunner five meters forward or five meters backward. This has been discussed in the game settings, whether the legion or the enterprise is stronger.
One is a force from the far west, and the other is a force from the far east. The two usually don't interact at all, but maybe they didn't expect that the people below actually had a fight in the central valley province.
According to the information disclosed on the official website, the legion seems to be following the line of human sea tactics, combined with other army doctrines. For example, the unit they encountered is the most common clone light infantry + trench fortifications. Two cannons are probably considered
The embodiment of fire support doctrine.
The advantages are low logistical pressure and low morale. These clone infantry seem to have been brainwashed, or they are not human beings with complete minds at all. They would rather die than surrender.
As for the company, I probably clicked on the Army doctrine of "Mobile Combat". All members are high-tech troops armed to the teeth, with high mobility and strong armor. They not only have night combat equipment, but also aerial fire support... Although it is only one aircraft
Light fixed wing, but better than nothing.
On the surface, the latter seems to have greater advantages, and the equipment is more expensive in total, but its performance on the battlefield does not seem to be as invincible as the panel data reflects.
After the power armor cut through the legion's first line of defense with overwhelming force, it soon faced an embarrassing problem.
There is no one behind.
Commander Quanshui: "...The Pioneer can only be regarded as a scientific research expedition team at best. The soldiers are not professional soldiers, but more like adventurers. It is good to be able to fight like this. If there is a confrontation between the two armies, this kind of problem will not be solved at all.
If it doesn’t exist, will there be no light infantry at the enterprise headquarters? I don’t believe it.”
Professor Yang, the King of Lightning: "Haha, if they really go to the frontal battlefield, they will face hundreds or even tens of thousands of legions of the same size as today. If they can build artillery, how difficult will it be to build an engine? It doesn't require too advanced technology.
, building a World War II-level tank chassis and carrying an electromagnetic gun on the head is definitely cheaper than powered armor."
Lin Dengwan, a million-strong army: "We can't fight, right? With an entire continent separated, how long does the supply line have to be? Besides, given the terrain in the wasteland, all the way is filled with alien species fighting guerrillas, so non-combat losses will be full."
.”
Seafood canned merchant: "By the way, why don't they take the sea route? The sea route is obviously easier than the land route."
The Duke of Venice: "Perhaps there is a threat from the sea."
Lying on the grave to scare ghosts: "Yes, that's right... If a Cthulhu-level sea monster comes directly, 10 Pioneers will be enough."
Elf King Fugui: "Ahem, don't argue. Whether it's strong or not depends on how the operator sets it."
This is quite to the point.
But no one paid any attention to him.
The game is still in the closed beta stage, and the version number has just reached Alpha. Each version is like a new game, and God knows what outrageous things will be released in the future.
