Chapter 186 The easter egg that drives obsessive-compulsive disorder to death
Exploration missions are not looting.
This mission is different from scavenging. Players who enter the map can only look around and cannot take away the items inside.
After all, this place can no longer be regarded as a wilderness, it even has data cards.
Mole speculated that the dog planner should have arranged this event to check for bugs in the map, using game currency to prostitute the players' labor for free.
Looking at it this way, it’s hard to say whether there is an Easter egg or not!
After storing his favorite gun in the locker, Mole followed the footsteps of other players, passed through the buffer room with two gates, and finally stepped into this dusty shelter.
The space here is very spacious, with a floor height of five meters. Behind the half-moon-shaped hall is a residents' square. Two arc-shaped corridors circle the outline of the square. On both sides of the square are four fan-shaped partitions - this is true.
The layout is somewhat similar to the B2 floor of Vault 404.
However, judging from the structural diagram printed on the wall at the front desk of the lobby, the overall structure of this shelter is still very different from that of Vault 404.
Shelter No. 117 has only three floors in total. From B1 to B3, the floor area decreases in sequence. The space is like an inverted pyramid.
Vault 404 is completely the opposite. Although players have not been to the space below the B3 floor, comparing B1 and B2, it is obvious that the area below is larger.
After a brief stroll around the B1 floor, Mole returned to the residents' hall and happened to meet Brother Mosquito coming out of the right area.
The guy said with an envious look.
"My side should be the functional area! There is a canteen, a reading room, and an infirmary inside! Damn... I even saw a basketball court!"
Mole smiled and said, "It's not surprising. There are only a hundred people in this shelter. It's normal for the facilities to be higher. I also saw private bathrooms in their rooms, and every room has one."
Mosquito said with envy.
"If you don't understand, just ask, can I change the shelter after the open beta?"
The Mole looked at him speechlessly.
"What's the point? The name of this game is not called Shelter. The content is all on the surface. Even if you change the resurrection point, it won't add a BUFF to you."
Mosquito: "Damn, what you said makes sense."
It doesn't make sense.
But it is what it is...
Mole was about to tease him, but at this moment, two players came out of the safety passage next to the elevator.
Elf King Fugui said with excitement: "Did you go to the B2 floor to see it? It's absolutely amazing there!"
The mole looked at them curiously.
"What did you see?"
Irena said helplessly: "Hey, it's just an artificial greenhouse. I don't understand what he is excited about."
Elf King Fugui: "Isn't it awesome to be able to farm in a shelter? And it's not just a plantation, but there are also water purification devices and processing workshops behind it... and things I can't understand. This damn thing is simply artificial.
Ecosystem!”
As he spoke, he, like Brother Mosquito, couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey, what the hell is this called a shelter? It's not like ours, where there's nothing, and you have to pay for bathing and going to the toilet!"
Mole: "By the way, which of you went to the B3 floor?"
Elf King Fugui: "We all went there. There was nothing to see on the B3 floor. It was a smaller group. Apart from the manager's office, there was only a reactor that had gone out. I originally thought there would be radiation, but I went in to see it.
At first glance, I realized that there was nothing... By the way, you have finished exploring the B1 floor? Did you find anything?"
As soon as they entered the door, he and Lao Na went straight to the B2 floor. They hadn't had time to look at the B1 floor yet.
Mole shook his head and said.
"There are a lot of rooms on the B1 floor, so I looked carefully."
However, it seems that some fast players have already finished browsing the B1 floor and started heading towards the B2 floor.
Mole just saw a female player with short hair dragging another female player with a high ponytail to the B2 floor happily.
There was also a white bear following behind.
With a slight movement in his heart, Mole looked at his VM and switched to the active task page.
At this moment, his expression froze for a moment.
[Full server exploration progress: 90%]
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Mole always felt that this task was not as simple as he imagined.
…
Facts have proved that even if he is not in the perception department, his intuition is very accurate.
It took a full hour for the mole to open all the doors that could be opened and walk around all the rooms that could be entered.
However, even if he visited every corner of the shelter, and even walked around the walls after the visit, the "Personal Exploration Progress" was still stuck at 90%.
No matter how hard he tried, the number didn't move at all!
"Hey, that's really weird!" Staring at the map on the VM screen, he touched the gray-nosed mole with a confused expression on his face.
He was obviously not the only one who encountered this problem.
The same goes for other players.
If there is something missing, that's it, but even the "Full Server Exploration Progress" is stuck at 90%.
In other words, everyone is stuck in the same place...
After going offline for the day.
More than half of the posts in the official website forum are discussing this matter.
Boy and Brick at the construction site: "I have an ominous feeling, is there another bug?"
Mole on the run in the canyon: "+1, the progress is stuck at 90% and I can't move. I can be sure that I didn't miss a corner. I ran through the entire shelter!"
There are really mosquitoes in WC: "MMP, He not only ran it all over, I ran it three times! I almost wiped off the paint on the wall!"
Elf King Fugui: "Is there a hidden passage?"
Sisi: "It's really possible...but isn't it too secretive?"
Tails: "Damn it, Tails ran around eight times! Found nothing!"
Mole on the run in the canyon: "I'll go to the manager's office tomorrow. I always feel like there might be something hidden in it..."
Crow Crow: "Well, I feel exactly the opposite to you. I always have a weird feeling when I explore the B2 floor... It seems like something is missing."
Night Ten: "Missing some mushrooms? (Funny)"
Crow Crow: "Go to hell! I'm serious, okay! (`Д′*)9 "
WC really has mosquitoes: “Maybe that easter egg is the remaining 10%!”
Killing chickens at midnight: "Oops, my obsessive-compulsive disorder is about to break out."
Looking at the discussion on the official website forum, Chu Guang was as confused as these players.
Speaking with conscience, it is true that he made up the easter egg, but 90% of the reason for this obsessive-compulsive disorder is not his fault.
The "full server exploration progress" that players see is actually the progress bar they see on the manager system page.
Could it be that there is a hidden snow area hidden in Shelter No. 117 that is not marked on the design map?
Not really.
The event is not urgent, and half of the players have not explored it yet.
Chu Guang planned to wait and see if the remaining players made any new discoveries.
On the other side, the cow-horse team that went on an expedition to the Zhongzhou Aerospace Ecological Experiment Base also made new discoveries.
Based on the terminals and other electronic equipment they recovered in the guard room, Yin Fang restored the data remaining on the storage hardware and concluded that the entire facility was actually a fully enclosed building based on a thermonuclear fusion reactor.
Artificial biosphere.
"...There are currently no direct clues that can prove which specific project the ecological experimental base is related to. Maybe it serves the shelter plan, or it may be to study how to establish colonies in outer space."
After listening to Yin Fang's report, Chu Guang directly asked him the question he was most concerned about.
"Can you find the fuel rods?"
Yin Fang nodded.
"It should be possible, but according to the information your players have discovered, there seems to be a lot of alien species hidden inside. I'm afraid it will take some time to clean up those alien species."
Hearing this, Chu Guang breathed a sigh of relief.
Taking the time is a small thing.
As long as you can get the fuel rods, no matter how much time you spend, it's worth it.
…
While the players were busy with their respective tasks, Chu Guang was not idle either.
The number of guardsmen was expanded from 15 to 45. Of the 30 new recruits, 50% came from Beit Street and 50% came from the refugee camp.
As one's own direct troops, it is impossible to completely ignore them.
In addition, after being detained for a day, Chu Guang sent all of the previously captured Pritt and others to the brick factory to undergo labor reform there.
Looking at the new workers, Eugene recognized them at a glance. These guys had the same identity as himself, they were all prisoners of the blue coats.
Not only that, he also smelled a familiar scent from their bodies.
lunch time.
The new captives sat in the corner eating.
Eugene, carrying a lunch box, walked over and spoke to the four of them.
"Hey, newcomers, how did you get in?"
Preet glanced at him.
"Mercenary, what about you?"
"What a coincidence, so am I." Eugene grinned and glanced at the man with a bandage on his arm. "By the way, what happened to your hand?"
Karl said with a straight face and an expressionless expression.
"I fell down."
Eugene whistled: "It's okay if you fall. It can break your wrist. I'm afraid you fell on the vise."
Machine gunner Lambert took a step forward, stared at this guy, and said in a deep voice.
"Are you here to cause trouble?"
Eugene raised his eyebrows, not taking his provocation seriously at all.
Lambert was annoyed and was about to take action, but at this moment, a voice came from next to him.
"I advise you not to get into trouble."
"If you don't want to be hanged."
Lambert's expression froze, and the other three people also looked towards the voice, only to see a man with a bulge in the middle of his nose standing there.
Pritt glanced at Lambert and gave him a look. The latter reluctantly swallowed his breath and stepped back.
The tense atmosphere eased a bit.
Coincidentally, at this moment, a man who looked like a guard walked in from outside, looked around at everyone, and said expressionlessly.
"Who is Vanus?"
The man who had stopped the conflict earlier raised his hand.
"I am."
The guard didn't talk nonsense and was straightforward.
"Come with me."
Vanus nodded, put down the lunch box in his hand, stood up and followed the guard.
The atmosphere in the room was a little subtle.
Pritt looked at Eugene and asked.
"who's that person?"
"You mean him?" Eugene looked at the man who followed the guard out of the brick factory, clicked his tongue and said, "He is incredible."
Pritt asked.
"Which aspect are you referring to?"
Eugene said.
"By all accounts, have you ever heard of the Legion?"
Prit nodded.
The Legion has been fighting the people of the Great Rift Valley in the north for a year, and the refugees from the north have not stopped. Rumors about the expeditionary force can always be heard in the taverns of Boulder City, but most of them are not very reliable.
Some people say that they won half a year ago, and the legion forces have already entered the valley province. Some people say that they lost completely, and even the general was captured. Some people say that General Claes died on the front line, and now a new general is here
Leading the army to fight. There are even more outrageous rumors that the legions saw that they could not conquer the Great Rift Valley and decided to send their troops south to invade Qingquan City.
There is no doubt that those people are very strong!
"I heard that people from the Legion have a bone protruding in the middle of their noses..." Recalling the man's facial features, Pritt said with a thought, "Is he from the Legion?"
Eugene looked at him and said in an intriguing tone.
"Yes, and he is a captain."
Captain!
Lambert took a breath, Jerry and Carl looked at each other, with moved expressions on their faces.
Although they have never seen the legion with their own eyes, they have heard rumors about the legion.
If you want to capture a thousand-man captain, you must annihilate at least one legion of thousands of soldiers.
Prit swallowed hard and felt his index finger trembling.
What kind of opponent are they fighting?
If he was still a little unconvinced before and regretted not putting on the power armor and fighting out, at this moment he was only happy.
The strength of these blue coats may be more terrifying than he imagined!
Fortunately, I didn't resist to the end.
It’s so good to be alive…
At the same time, outside the brick factory.
Following the guard's footsteps and walking towards the north gate of the Wetland Park, Vanus glanced around and couldn't help but ask.
"Where are we going?"
The guard said expressionlessly.
"My lord wants to see you."
Vanus reminded cautiously.
"The outpost isn't here."
The guard said impatiently.
"Your Excellency went to Changchun Farm before noon... just follow me if you are told. Where did all this nonsense come from!"
Upon hearing this scolding, Vanus immediately shut his mouth, but felt a little relieved in his heart.
When he first came out, he was still a little nervous and thought he was going to be dragged out and killed.
Now it seems that at least there is no need to die...
…
At the same time, the B2 floor of Vault 117.
Inside a huge artificial greenhouse.
Crow Crow, who was standing next to the hydroponics box, touched his chin seriously and frowned slightly.
"There is indeed a problem here."
Teng Teng yawned, with a helpless expression on his face.
"Are you sure you read that correctly?"
About two hours ago, she was about to start work when Crow Crow pulled her here without any explanation.
To be honest, she didn't think that the clues that the big guys on the forum hadn't discovered could be found so easily by them.
As a Buddhist professional life player, she prefers to wait for the guide to come out and then make up for the 10% instead of wasting time on details like this...
"I'm sure, I'm definitely not wrong!" Crow Crow said with a serious face, "Don't forget that I am from the Perception Department!"
Hearing this sentence, Teng Teng's expression was a little subtle.
Perception system?
Isn't it mushroom type...
Not noticing Teng Teng's subtle expression, Crow Crow's index finger groped along the side of the hydroponic tank and quickly discovered what made her feel unnatural.
I saw a small light green mark printed on the side of the hydroponics box!
"toxin?!"
Crow Crow's heart moved and he moved closer to observe carefully.
The mark was very shallow and thin, just like the silk spun by a spider. If it weren't for her 10 points of perception and the talent of "poison intuition", it would have been missed!
Realizing this, the expression on Crow Crow's face instantly became excited.
You can’t go wrong!
It’s toxin!
After groping along the intermittent traces, she soon came to a wall.
Following behind Crow Crow, Teng Teng was confused.
"Is there anything here?"
"My talent is poison detection. There is dried venom on the ground...but the clue ends here. Could it be in the wall?"
Crow Crow reached out and knocked twice on the wall.
However, perhaps because the wall is too thick, just by listening to the sound, it is impossible to determine whether there is anything hidden behind it.
Teng Teng said suspiciously.
"This is just a very ordinary wall, can you mistake it-"
Halfway through his words, Crow Crow, who was groping on the wall with his hands, suddenly seemed to have touched some mechanism, and there was a clear clicking sound on the wall.
Immediately afterwards, the seemingly flat alloy wall suddenly revealed a crack and began to move smoothly to both sides, revealing the passage behind it.
This wall is actually a secret door!
The two little players standing in front of the wall were stunned on the spot.
Teng Teng swallowed and whispered to himself.
"I, are we...discovering a hidden map?"
The hidden map that even the bosses hadn't discovered was found so easily by the two of them?!
Although it is mainly due to Crow Crow...
However, now is obviously not the time to discuss merit.
Looking at the passage hidden behind the wall, Crow Crow's face was full of excitement, and he hugged Teng Teng excitedly.
"Easter egg! It's an easter egg!"
"Hahahaha, as expected of me, I actually found it!"
"Guuuuuu——"
Teng Teng, whose head was buried, made a sound like drowning.
I haven’t seen the Easter egg yet.
She felt like her blood bar was going to be empty...
