Yin Fang, who was sitting in the back of the truck and wrapped himself in a fur coat like a rice dumpling, kept chattering along the way.
"This is impossible! The logo of the college? Appearing at a community college in a little-known town? Are you sure you're not kidding?"
Chu Guang smiled lightly and said.
"If you are joking, I will let you go alone."
"..."
Yin Fang looked at him speechlessly, not wanting to speak.
But Chu Guang really wanted to chat with him.
There was no way around it. The information in Qingquan City was too limited. He relied almost entirely on hearsay information and his own imagination for what was happening outside.
Chu Guang was also very curious about why things from the academy appeared in an ordinary academy.
According to Yin Fang, it is at least a thousand kilometers from here to the Wandering Swamp, which is far beyond the academy's sphere of influence.
Although Qingquan City is one of the important cities in the southern urban agglomeration of River Valley Province, it was only during the Prosperity Era.
"Actually, I have always been curious about what kind of organization the academy is."
Yin Fang shook his head and said, "If I want to fully explain this issue, I'm afraid it will take me all day and all night to finish it."
"Then just pick the key points and talk about the ones I'm interested in."
Being left speechless by this willful question, Yin Fang opened his mouth, and did not come back to his senses until he took a sip of northwest wind.
He coughed several times and said.
"How should I put it? The academy... is actually not as mysterious as you outsiders imagine. It is like a huge library. In fact, until the end of the Prosperity Era, it was just a loose academic organization."
Chu Guang looked at him with interest and said: "But your behavior is not relaxed at all, nor simple, nor does it look like an academic organization."
"That's for sure. I said it was before the end of the Prosperity Era, and now it's the 211th year of the Wasteland Era."
Two hundred years.
In the history of human civilization, many feudal dynasties failed to exist for such a long time, let alone an academic institution.
Yin Fang squinted his eyes and looked to the southwest before continuing.
"I've only heard a little bit about it. In the early years of the Wasteland Era, the college undertook part of the post-war reconstruction work. This work was mainly concentrated in the technical field. This included taking over some experimental facilities, scientific research equipment, and repairing damaged data.
and the restoration of lost technology.”
Chu Guang: "It sounds like a very grand project."
Yin Fang sighed faintly and said: "That's right, we haven't finished this work until now. The world is changing too fast. It is said that a long time ago, the influence of the academy spread throughout the entire Central Continent. The academy's inspection team can go to them
Anywhere we want to go. But the good times don’t last long. The places outside the Wandering Swamp can no longer accommodate people from the academy. Everyone who looks at us looks like we are seeing fat sheep.”
Hearing the word fat sheep, Chu Guang unconsciously glanced at this guy's right hand.
Be reasonable.
An arm is worth at least 10,000R, and it's also a friendship price. Chu Guang feels that this really can't be blamed on others, even a good person like him would be tempted.
"Speaking of which, what kind of place is the Wandering Swamp?"
Yin Fang answered briefly: "It's a very vast swamp, as big as a province. The weather there is getting out of control every day, and the alien species are going crazy every day... In short, you won't like that place."
"I didn't say I wanted to go, I was just curious." Chu Guang looked forward, patted the roof of the car, and motioned to the driver to find a place to park nearby, "It's right in front, we're here."
After getting out of the car, Chu Guang pulled out the hammer behind him.
The four young players who accompanied him decisively picked up the guy and walked in front, taking on the role of guard.
In a lineup of 2 strength and 2 senses, the two strength-type players walked in front to open the way, and the two perception-type players followed behind to "light up the lights". Each of the four people had an LD-47 assault rifle, and the firepower was quite sufficient, making them feel very safe.
Since the firepower is sufficient, Chu Guang does not need to supplement the firepower. He can hold the hammer and open the shield in time to protect himself and the nP next to him.
This area of town is quite deserted.
Due to the blizzard, there were almost no aliens wandering on the streets. After getting rid of a few gnawers hiding in the shadows, the group of people successfully arrived at the target area on the map.
It was a community college. It looked quite plain in appearance, and even its area was only slightly larger than the nearby high school.
Standing in front of the laboratory building, Yin Fang raised his head and shook his head.
"I don't think the academy would be interested in such an inconsequential goal. You will most likely be in vain."
Upon hearing this, Chu Guang smiled lightly.
"We're already at the door. Isn't this trip in vain? We'll find out if we go in and take a look."
After saying this, Chu Guang led the players inside.
Seeing that he was about to fall behind, Yin Fang could only bite the bullet and follow him, and stepped into this gloomy experimental building.
There were broken tiles, gravel and rubble all over the ground, as well as newly dropped bullet casings. It looked like a fierce battle broke out here more than an hour ago.
Looking at the crawler with a split head on the ground, Yin Fang clicked his tongue and involuntarily followed a little closer.
In the academy's scientific expedition team, rude things like fighting are usually done by E-class, F-class and even bionics and drones. What D-class personnel need is independent analysis ability and excellent brains.
Even if you need to master some survival skills, survival itself is the main focus.
Such as basic first aid knowledge.
Yin Fang was very doubtful about the combat effectiveness of these people, especially when he saw that the manager was still holding a hammer in his hand, this feeling of unreliability became even stronger.
"Can you give me a gun? I can protect myself."
"You are vIP, just stay behind me."
"vIP?"
"Tsk, how can I explain it to you?"
While we were chatting, a group of people had already arrived.
Commander Quan Shui, who was wearing heavy armor, stood in front of him, respectfully placed his right fist on his chest and performed a military salute.
"Dear administrator, when you came, we have successfully cleared the entire first-floor hall of alien species for you."
"Well done." Chu Guang nodded approvingly, looked at him and said, "Lead the way from the front."
"yes!"
After receiving the manager's affirmative look, Quan Shui happily walked ahead and led the way. Chu Guang ordered two players to guard the entrance, while the other two players followed him and Yin Fang to explore the basement.
Go in.
The passage here is very narrow.
However, after entering, everything suddenly opened up.
Looking at the ten dormant cabins placed in the basement, Yin Fang suddenly seemed to be petrified and froze on the spot.
After coming back to his senses, he rushed forward without saying a word, got to the nearest sleeping cabin, and stared at it.
"There is no mistake...the style of this training cabin is exactly the same!" Yin Fang muttered in his mouth, groping with his hands on the dusty cabin door, wishing he could throw himself on it.
The young players around looked at each other, exchanged confused glances, and asked in low voices.
"What is this doctor doing?"
"I don't know...maybe it's a special hobby?"
"I understand, the new nP's hobby is hibernation pods!"
"Boss, you are awesome! I will post on the forum later. Hehe, I wonder if I can be a good person."
Chu Guang: "..."
This kind of boring post will be more sophisticated.
After coughing slightly, Chu Guang looked at Yin Fang who was stunned and asked.
"What exactly?"
"It's exactly the same model as the academy's dormant cabin... Damn it, why does this type of dormant cabin appear in the River Valley Province?"
With an expression of disbelief on his face, Yin Fang finally left the dormant cabin and looked at Chu Guang and said seriously.
"Where's that box? The one with the college logo you mentioned."
Chu Guang took the box, which was the mission item in the eyes of the players, from the players who were following him, and handed it to Yin Fang's hand.
"Here...what the hell is this thing?"
"A black box that stores data!" Yin Fang tapped the surface of the box with his knuckles and gushed with joy, "The outer layer of material can effectively resist neutron rays and electromagnetic pulses generated by nuclear explosions. In addition,
In addition, inert gas should be injected into it to protect the graphene circuit board... I guess it is most likely a holographic image or recording, you will know after opening it."
As he spoke, Yin Fang stretched out a knife from his right hand without waiting for Chu Guang's signal, and lightly scratched the surface of the box.
A magical scene happened.
The moment the surface material was scratched, the layer of black paint wrapped around the box dispersed like gravel in the wind, revealing the silver shell underneath.
Yin Fang carefully groped for the edge of the box, quickly found an obscure gap, and opened the box.
Commander Quan Shui couldn't help but glance at the battlefield atmosphere team, and whispered: "Why the hell didn't I make any move after waiting for a long time?"
"Isn't this a matter of course?" Before the battlefield atmosphere team could say anything, I, who was standing next to me, interrupted and said, "How can I still use the mission props for myself?"
The two of them were stunned.
It makes so much sense and is completely impossible to refute.
Just like that, the azure blue light gathered and formed, and a holographic bust appeared out of thin air in the room.
Chu Guang and the players didn't react at all, but Yin Fang, who was standing in the room, looked at it with eyes wide open, wishing that his eyeballs would fall out of his sockets.
"principle?!"
"Principle?" Looking at Yin Fang who was mumbling something in his mouth, Chu Guang asked in confusion, "What principle?"
"Principles, methods, conclusions... The three doctors who rebuilt the college organization after the war, their statues stand at the entrance of the college."
Yin Fang swallowed, his eyes full of disbelief, and continued, "The person in front of you is Dr. Principle. The college's laser rifle is named after him. I can be sure that I will not admit it wrong. It is him, and it belongs to him when he was young.
It looks like that. But why do his relics appear here? This is not how it is recorded in the history of the academy... I don’t understand."
Chu Guang: "..."
What a coincidence.
Chu Guang wanted to say that I didn't understand either.
But just when he was about to say this, the holographic image standing in mid-air spoke as if he was narrating himself.
"We have left the cabin and feel good."
"It is now the second year of the Wasteland Era. The person in charge of meeting us is Battalion Commander Zhao Weisheng of the 111th Orbital Airborne Division. As planned, we successfully merged with the army. Although we were a little late... but fortunately they did not
Give up and wait here loyally for us for two years."
"According to the plan, our next step will be to go to the Northern Great Rift Valley under the escort of the army, which is the energy storage center of the central region. The stored metallic hydrogen is enough for us to rebuild the central region twice. At present, the Great Rift Valley has been
Controlled by the 111th Orbital Airborne Division."
"According to the information provided by Battalion Commander Zhao, the post-war reconstruction committee has begun work. What we have to do now is to report there, join up with others, perform their respective duties, and start reconstruction."
"The only trouble now is that the fourth company responsible for escorting us unexpectedly took in more than a thousand residents who failed to evacuate in time, so that our supplies may be running out. On the contrary, the terrible
The road conditions and weather forced us to rely on our own legs."
"More than that, Battalion Commander Zhao wants to take those survivors with him. To be honest, they are a burden and will only add variables to the plan. I can't evaluate whether his kindness is correct, because if I think about it, I would probably do the same.
Same decision."
"In any case, it is inevitable to start from here. The things we need to do are piled up, and there is no time to delay. However, what makes me uneasy is that I always feel that things are not going so smoothly... The war is really over
? To be honest, I’m confused.”
"My respected mentor once taught me that we must be prepared for any situation. Things will not always go as smoothly as we expect."
The man in the holographic image looked at the sky for a moment, then stared straight ahead, with an optimistic smile on his expressionless face.
"Hey, listen, you picked up this video."
"If you are standing in a prosperous Utopia right now, and the air is filled with the fragrance of peace, please send it to the museum for me. This is precious information. Maybe you can find my name in the exhibition hall. I am sure,
The museum will give you a large amount of money, that’s what I said. If they refuse to pay, you just throw the box in front of them, haha.”
The man smiled heartily, and a trace of loneliness suddenly appeared on his face.
"But if situation B happens and we unfortunately live in a miserable world, it proves... that we have probably failed."
"I'm sorry, both for my mentor and those who trusted me and gave me this opportunity to go to the future. There is only one thing left that I can do for you."
"Please take this video with you and go to the northern suburbs of Qingquan City to find Shelter No. 117. It should be under the Huayuan Street subway station. I don't know the specific location. You may have to look for it."
"The manager there is an acquaintance of mine. I once asked him to keep a suitcase for me, which contains some useful things. If it is situation B, I probably won't have the chance to pick it up. You can take it away.
, my old friend will give it to you after seeing this video."
"Remember the password to the box, x1179."
"If you make three mistakes in a row, you have nothing."
