The passage hidden behind the wall is very dark.
It can even be described as being unable to see your fingers.
The circuit here doesn't seem to be connected to the outside world. Although there is something like a light strip attached to the corner, there is no response at all when I get close to it.
With the light emitted by the vm, the two little players explored the passage with excitement and apprehension.
Teng Teng, who had a red nose, rubbed his shoulders with his hands and looked around.
"It's so cold... Why does it feel like the temperature here is lower than outside."
"It's indeed a bit... and it also has a very spooky feeling." Crow Crow shrank his neck and looked ahead nervously, "Do you think there will be any strange things running out?"
"for example?"
"Ghost, ghost or something..."
What nonsense is this.
After hearing this senseless statement, Teng Teng sighed and said.
"Impossible, it's a science fiction game after all. Even if something does come out, it should be a gnawer, a leech or a big spider, right?"
"Hey! Don't scare me."
Crow Crow stopped and did not dare to go forward.
Teng Teng looked back at her helplessly.
"I'm just saying casually, as for... By the way, aren't you a perceptual person? And your level is not low either. Even if there is such a thing, the perceptual attribute can provide early warning, right?"
Hearing these words, Crow Crow's face turned red, and after being coy for a while, he whispered.
"I...I'm not very good at fighting. I gain experience by collecting it."
Although the level has increased, the combat experience is almost 0... Tengteng tried to understand it, and this should be what it meant.
"It's okay, so am I... But I thought that since you have died once, you should have some experience in this area."
Crow Crow said with a grimace.
"That's what I say, but I don't want to die. Do you know how difficult it is to have a night without a helmet?"
really.
Teng Teng could not imagine how boring it would be at night without a helmet.
This game is simply toxic.
Ever since she got the helmet, her social needs in real life have completely dropped to zero. She completely disappeared after get off work. No one sent messages to harass her anymore, and she pretended to be invisible.
A world where you don’t have to deal with complicated interpersonal relationships and can do what you want without any worries would be great!
Putting his hands on Crow Crow's back, Teng Teng urged her to move forward.
"Yes, yes... let's go quickly, the eggs will be cold in a while."
"Yeah, don't push me."
If there really was something in front of them, they would have been spotted long ago by the sound of their voices.
But Teng Teng, whose mouth was raised, was not at all panicked.
If a battle is really triggered...
There is a lot of crow meat, so you can eat it for a while, right?
Big-breasted stars, please feel free to go!
Teng Teng will go out and call for reinforcements to avenge you!
The corridor soon reached the end.
Passing through a door, the two quietly walked into a room of about twenty or thirty square meters.
This place is like a warehouse with 20 sleep cabins on display.
The moment he saw these dormant cabins, Crow Crow's eyes suddenly turned the color of silver coins.
"Hibernation pod!"
A well-preserved hibernation capsule can be sold for 50 to 100 silver coins!
Turning his head to look at Teng Teng, Crow Crow's eyes sparkled.
"Teng Teng! Half of each of us!"
"What are you talking about? You can't take away the things here...but there should be easter eggs here."
All 20 sleep cabins are closed.
Teng Teng walked over and took a look at the hatch where she was lying. However, this glance didn't matter, her little face suddenly turned pale, and her lips trembled as she said.
"Death, dead person..."
The dry bones were covered with a blue coat, and the organic matter had almost decayed, leaving only a layer of dry skin and mildew spots.
Fear arose spontaneously, and she subconsciously took half a step back, and the back of her head hit a soft ball.
"There are so many corpses. Is it because the dormant cabin has lost power?" Crow Crow, who was standing behind Teng Teng, didn't care. He rubbed his chin with his right hand and stared at the mummies in the dormant cabin, lost in thought.
Seeing that she was still interested in observing, Teng Teng couldn't help but swallowed and whispered nervously.
"Aren't you afraid?"
Crow Crow tilted his head.
"Hmm... If I have to say it, I'm not afraid at all. Even with the addition of filters, the model is quite realistic, but this is a game, right?"
"Just, even if it's a game..."
Crow Crow continued speaking matter-of-factly.
"Besides, there's nothing to be afraid of when it's already dead. It's not like a monster that can move. Anyway, compared to slimy mutated leeches, this kind is much better."
Teng Teng: “…”
Totally incomprehensible!
She didn't feel any better at all.
While he was talking, Crow Crow had already walked to the side of another sleeping cabin.
She was muttering something while shining the VM's light on the floor, searching for some trace that she couldn't see.
Suddenly, as if she had found something, she quickly walked to a sleeping cabin in surprise.
"Teng Teng! Come here quickly! This way!"
Teng Teng said alertly.
"I'm not coming over here, tell me first what's there?"
"Don't worry, it's not a corpse! The person inside seems to be alive!"
"?!"
Hearing that there was a living person, Teng Teng hurried over.
At this moment, Crow Crow, who was groping with his hands on the dormant cabin, seemed to have touched some switch.
There was only a squeaking sound, cold gas leaked from the gap between the hatch of the dormant cabin and the cabin, and then the frost-covered hatch slowly opened.
Teng Teng noticed that in the ice coffin-like cabin, there was a young lady wearing a blue coat lying.
She looks young, about twenty, with slender and soft lines, and a physique between her and Crow Crow. What is particularly eye-catching is her long silver-white hair and blue eyes.
As the hatch opened, the man woke up from his deep sleep.
However, it seemed that because she had just woken up, her expression was a little dull. After a long time, she looked around with a blank expression.
Her eyes fell on the crow closest to her, and the woman lying in the cabin spoke in a hoarse voice.
"What year is it...?"
Teng Teng and Crow Crow looked at each other.
"what did she say?"
"It seems like she said 'now'?" Occasionally, nomads would come to her stall to buy mushrooms. Crow Crow did learn a few phrases, but she knew nothing about the grammar.
Teng Teng's heart moved, and he quickly came closer and made three numbers with his fingers.
"211?"
The woman looked confused, but seemed to understand, with a trace of relief in her eyes.
"The year 211 of the Wasteland Era?"
I have slept like this for more than twenty years...
It's been quite a long time.
After staring at Crow Crow for a while, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she struggled to lift her weak arm and hold her right hand.
"DNA...can you lend me some? I want to study it."
Crow Crow looked confused.
Ah this...
Are you saying thank you to yourself?
"……You're welcome?"
As if she realized her abruptness from Crow Crow's confused expression, the woman took her hand back in embarrassment, coughed lightly and said.
"Sorry...it's an occupational disease."
Teng Teng and Crow Crow looked at each other and communicated quietly.
"what to do?"
"It seems like a hidden mission has been triggered."
"But there are no subtitles... By the way, do you understand what she is saying?"
"do not understand at all!"
"Then... take her to the guard first."
The two reached a consensus.
"It can only be the."
…
On the road leading to Changjiang Farm.
Vanus, who was sitting behind the truck, his shoulders bumped along with the truck. Glancing at the road outside the truck, he spoke to the young guard sitting next to him.
"Have you cleared all the obstacles on the road?"
"Yes."
Although he didn't want to talk to this prisoner, Lu Bei thought of the manager's instructions to him, so he still replied in an impatient tone.
Vanus couldn't help but praise.
"A wise choice... Very few survivors inhabited the area and would take the trouble to build those roads. However, they did not know that this was the greatest wealth left to them by the pre-war society."
Every time the legions occupy an area, the first thing they do is to build the road there, and if conditions permit, they will also build a railway.
Even though it is extremely difficult to maintain a stable transportation route in the wasteland, only by ensuring smooth logistics can the combat effectiveness of the frontline troops be guaranteed.
In order to ensure smooth logistics, they would even arrange for young junior officers to lead clone light infantry patrols along the legion's road network.
It happened that at this time, Vanus saw that the people clearing the road were his subordinates. His expression suddenly became awkward and he stopped talking.
The only consolation is that his subordinates seem to be in good spirits?
At least they were all wearing thick clothes, and they didn't seem to have been brutally abused. They just looked confused and numb.
Admiring his turtle-eating expression, Lu Bei chuckled and remained silent.
joke!
What else do you need to say about the wisdom of the manager?
Stupid prisoner!
The distance of ten kilometers was not far, and it was a nearly straight road with not many places to slow down. The truck arrived at the stop quickly.
Pushing his back with the butt of his gun, Lu Bei motioned for him to get out of the car.
Vanus didn't say anything. He didn't even think about escaping in this damn weather, so he jumped out of the truck obediently.
Following him out of the car, Lu Bei put his rifle on his back, walked on the snow to the south gate of Changjiu Farm, and gave a military salute to the guard on duty at the gate.
"According to the order of the administrator, I brought the war criminals."
The slightly older guard looked at him and nodded.
"Well done. The manager is in the middle room. Please take him there quickly."
"yes!"
Lu Bei turned around energetically and waved to Vanus, gesturing for him to come over.
"Listen, I'm taking you to see the manager now. You'd better pay attention to your words and deeds."
Vanus said meekly.
"Yes sir, I will."
It had been a while since the last time they met, and he really wanted to meet the person who had defeated him on the battlefield.
Although the person who defeated him on the frontal battlefield was Lu Yang, he didn't have much respect in his heart for those profiteers who barely stood opposite him because of the power of their equipment.
Instead, it was the survivors who rushed towards the flanks of his position without fear of death, who left a deeper impression on him.
When he was in the prisoner of war camp, Vanus heard his captain say how brave the survivors were on the battlefield.
They are as flexible as normal people, weaving in and out, but they are more unafraid of sacrifice than clone infantry and regard death as nothing.
What kind of charismatic leader is it that can make his soldiers have such a noble spirit of sacrifice and enthusiasm?
After this period of work and communication with the brick factory workers, Vanus found some answers, but more confusion followed.
Intuition told Vanus that perhaps only that person could answer the questions in his heart.
After passing through the city gate, Vanus followed the footsteps of the young guard and soon came to a concrete structure house.
Through the half-opened window, a roaring fire could be seen.
Lu Bei stepped forward and knocked on the door. After receiving the reply that he was coming in, he brought Vanus in.
There were many people sitting in the room, including Luca who was in charge, the captain of the guard, and two people he had never seen or recognized.
They seemed to be discussing something.
Vanus noticed that when he entered the house, everyone looked at him.
Especially the tall strange man, after seeing his nose, his pupils stagnated slightly with a hint of anger. The other man, who looked a little thin and dressed as a nomad, had a look in his eyes.
A hint of fear.
Vanus probably had an idea in his mind.
Both of them should be refugees, one is a landless survivor, the other is probably a migratory herdsman, and 80% of them are from the northern or central areas where the river valley is formed.
He had seen a lot of this kind of people when he went south, and they basically turned around and ran away when they saw his flag.
Walking in front of the manager, Lu Bei straightened his back, put his right hand on his chest, and said respectfully and even reverently.
"Sir, I brought the person you wanted for you!"
Looking at the guard who looked only a little older than a child, Chu Guang nodded appreciatively.
"Very good. Just stay here. You can go down first."
"yes!"
When leaving the house, Lu Bei closed the door.
As the wooden door closed, the air in the room suddenly became quiet, and only the crackling of firewood in the fireplace could be heard.
Vanus' Adam's apple twitched, hesitating whether he should take the initiative to say something.
However, at this time, the manager sitting in the main seat looked away from him and looked at the nomad with fear written on his face.
"Keep talking."
"Yes, sir..."
Glancing at Vanus, who was standing at the door, the nomad swallowed and continued cautiously.
"We passed through the northern part of the Valley Province. The situation there can't be described as bad. The hills were blown into depressions by artillery shells, and the hard ground turned into quagmire. There were corpses everywhere on the ground, attracting vultures and hyenas to eat them.
Or even a deathclaw..."
"The people in the Great Rift Valley refused to take us in. We didn't dare to stay there. We could only bypass the battlefield along the west side and continue south. However, the situation in the south was also very bad. VIPs from the legion were fleeing in all directions. We were unlucky to meet
It took 2 people and 5 people to die before killing one and controlling the other. After questioning, we learned that the people from the Great Rift Valley won, the legion's expeditionary force was defeated, and General Klass died in the chaos.
"
The expeditionary force was defeated?
Vanus had a confused expression on his face.
However, for some reason, when he heard the news, there was no wave in his heart. Until half a month ago, he still firmly believed that General Klaas was invincible, but now he felt relieved.
.
it is finally over.
Jiu Li, who was standing in the room, glanced at him, slightly twitching the corners of his mouth, with a slightly mocking expression, but he didn't expect that the man didn't look at him at all, so he withdrew his eyes in disappointment.
Chu Guang stared at the nomad and asked, "Is the news reliable?"
The nomad said nothing but obediently.
"Sir, I don't know, but it should be accurate...after all, it was said by the legionnaires themselves."
The Legionnaires said it themselves.
The credibility should be quite high.
Chu Guang fell into deep thought.
At this time, the guard captain Wan Wan, who was standing aside, took a step forward and said with a serious expression.
"Sir, if the legion's rout continues south, we may encounter those locusts soon. I suggest digging trenches and building fortifications in the north of Jiujiu Farm, deploying patrols further north, and setting up patrols in Yu.
Outposts will be established in the wooden area and the northern urban area respectively."
Old Luca also advised.
"I think so too."
Building defense lines and expanding patrol range are the most basic and inevitable. This winter may be more lively than I imagined.
Chu Guang nodded in agreement, then looked at the nomad and continued, "Have you seen anything else along the way?"
The nomad was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought hard for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly spoke.
"When we were passing through Tianshui City, we heard a rumor from the survivors who stayed there to rest...but I'm not sure if it's accurate."
Chu Guang looked at him and said.
"you say."
The nomad continued cautiously.
"They say that a huge tribe of predators is rising rapidly in the central and western part of the River Valley Province. Some say that they have absorbed part of the legion's defeated troops, while others say that they themselves are the legion's defeated troops. They burn, kill, loot and commit all kinds of evil."
Chu Guang asked.
"What are their names?"
The nomad whispered.
"Chewing bones, sir, I remember it's called chewing bones."
"It must be those people from the legion!" Jiuli spat, "Those bedbugs are like a plague. Wherever they are, nothing good will happen!"
Vanus didn't dare to say anything and tried his best to pretend to be nothing.
Luka looked at Chu Guang and whispered Nonuo.
"Sir, chaos is spreading. I have an ominous feeling."
Does this still require a hunch?
With his index finger lightly tapping the armrest of the chair, Chu Guang stared at the anxious-looking nomad in front of him, lost in thought.
This group of nomads, like Wu Tiexu and others, also migrated from the north, but they are obviously not the same tribe.
More than 50 people were not considered too many, but less than 30% of the labor force was young adults. It was obvious that there were many battles along the way.
What Chu Guang is more interested in is that in addition to bringing five yaks, these people also raise a certain number of poultry.
This is definitely an unexpected surprise.
He hasn't eaten tea eggs for a long time, and he doesn't know what the eggs boiled with spirit leaves taste like.
After a long time, Chu Guang opened his mouth and said.
"Your tribe is allowed to move to Linghu Wetland Park and stay with other nomadic tribes who have moved here."
The man breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down gratefully on the spot and put his head on the floor.
"Thank you, Sir! My tribe and I will serve you to the death!"
"The word spear is too murderous and easy to confuse. You came in winter, so you will be called Frost Spear from now on." Looking at the man kneeling on the ground, Chu Guang continued, "I will confirm your loyalty with my eyes. Now
Stand up, we don't do kneeling here. You don't need to kneel down when you see me, just put your right fist on your left chest."
"Yes! Thank you, sir, for the name!"
Frost Spear, who had been given the name, retired happily.
It doesn't matter what the name is.
The key is who gave the name.
In the culture of most tribesmen and refugees in the wasteland, giving a name means acceptance and naturalization. They will pass on part of their name from generation to generation until the bloodline dies out.
As the door opened and closed, a bit of cold air blew into the room.
Chu Guang then looked at Vanus standing next to the door and said.
"Now, let's discuss your problem."
(The next chapter will be out at 11 o'clock. As usual, I will correct the typo first... In addition, yesterday, a supporting room was opened in the book review area. Interested children can make an appointment. Looking for supporting roles in the book review area is too difficult to find.
