In the crowd, the rat man brother was lamenting the harshness of the world, when suddenly a generous and warm hand was placed on his shoulder.
When I looked up, I saw it was a person.
And I'm not afraid of his appearance.
"Brother! Spread the fire?" Commander Quanshui stared at his big round nose with bright eyes, as if he had discovered a treasure.
[Forcing people to do things] was stunned for a moment.
"Pass, pass the fire?"
"The fire is passed down from generation to generation! It's that novice mission!" Commander Quan Shui smiled brightly, showing his white teeth, "Don't worry about so much, just follow me and I will help you level up!"
With upgrade?
Is there such a good thing?!
[Forcing people to do what is difficult] nodded excitedly.
"Okay brother, I will hang out with you from now on!"
The corners of Commander Quanshui's mouth almost burst with joy.
The newbies this year are so nice!
However, at this moment, a stick suddenly came across.
"Brother! Don't follow him, follow me! I promise to help you show off and fly!"
The mosquito man held the mouse's shoulders with both hands and pushed away the spring water. His face was full of excitement, as if he had drawn five golden legends in a row.
Seeing someone ruining his good deeds, Commander Quanshui couldn't bear it, so he snatched the fat mouse back.
"Brother, don't listen to him! This guy is the most unreliable!"
Hearing someone say that he is unreliable, Mosquito immediately became anxious.
"Gan! Who do you think is unreliable? If you touch a few pieces of steel on your exoskeleton, won't your conscience hurt?"
It would have been better not to mention it at first.
At the mention of this matter, Commander Quanshui couldn't help but burst into tears.
"You are so embarrassed to say that! I went to the No. 81 Steel Factory and asked! They can do it for only 150 silver!"
Mosquito's expression was momentarily embarrassed, he looked away and scratched his cheek.
"Ahem, this includes the design cost of 50 silver coins... I have to make some money."
"You scream like that!!"
Caught between the two of them, [Forcing someone to do something difficult] blinked his big mung bean eyes, with a confused expression on his face.
Just a second ago, he was lamenting that he had chosen an orphan race. Before his good friends came online, he might have to start a new land by himself.
Unexpectedly, I was surprisingly popular?
This happiness came too suddenly.
…
"Collect the newbies in the strength department, start the tree-cutting convoy, and you will go from 0 to 1 in two days!"
"The bus departs from the entrance and exit tunnel on level B3! Are there any newbies who want to get on the bus?"
"Do you want someone with intelligence? If you don't understand, just ask, where can I buy drones and implants?"
"In a dream."
After the daily training is over.
Chu Guang left time to the players, then turned back to the B1 floor of the shelter and sat in front of the computer in the manager's office for a while.
Through the entry and exit records of old players who have received the "Legend of Fire" mission and the shelter, Chu Guang, who is sitting here, can easily grasp the movements of these new players.
Some of the players who planned to take the combat profession route received the hunter profession and followed the veteran players to the underground tunnels.
Another part was brought to the surface.
With the liberation of Street 76, there is a large urban area in the east of the shelter waiting to be opened up, and his little players have discovered many high-quality resource points.
As the number of players increases, in order to improve management efficiency, Chu Guang is trying to increase the workload of NPCs, reduce the frequency of personally sending tasks, and focus more on the allocation of human resources and control of the general direction.
There are 112 people in the Garden Street subway station, 121 people in the tunnel at the B3 exit, and a total of 233 players exploring the "underground world".
There are a total of 255 people in Changjiu Farm, Yubei District Forest Farm and the abandoned urban area in the north. Except for some players who perform special tasks, the rest are basically near the outpost.
Chu Guang used the program that Xiao Qi helped create and took a rough look at the distribution of player types on the map.
The outpost is dominated by professional life players, accounting for 60% of the total. They are mainly concentrated in the new industrial area and the old industrial area south of the sanatorium.
Frontline areas such as Long-term Farm are dominated by combat professional players, with a proportion as high as 70%, of which soldiers account for 20%, hunters account for 20%, and scavengers account for 30%.
In addition, the core/non-core NPC configuration, resource status, and remaining storage in each region are also reflected in the table.
It's a pity that the villain in the map cannot be dragged.
Otherwise it would really be an RTS game.
"Owner."
Hearing Xiao Qi's voice, Chu Guang said casually.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Qi, who was squatting in the corner, whispered.
"Xiaoqi always feels that you are getting lazy."
"What do you know?" Chu Guang chuckled, leaned on the computer chair, and said leisurely, "This wave is called catching the big ones and letting go the small ones, and reducing micro-management."
Xiao Qi didn't say anything when she heard this.
What the master said became increasingly difficult to understand.
To avoid ambiguity, it has to be checked online first.
…
To the north-east of the outpost, about 16 kilometers away in a straight line, is the Zhongzhou Aerospace Ecological Laboratory ruins surrounded by forests.
In the messy hall, hundreds of gnawing corpses lay scattered everywhere.
After kicking the crawler lying on the ground, Guangfeng pulled out the javelin from its body, wiped the black blood on it, and inserted it back into the javelin bag.
"By the way, the newbies should be online by now."
Fang Chang glanced at the time on the VM.
"It's almost time. It should be online. I don't know if there is an SSR European Emperor among the newcomers this year."
Ye Shi said with a playful smile.
"How do you know it must be the European Emperor? What if it's a non-chief like Brother Trash?"
Lao Bai said with a smile.
"Hahaha, bullying the trash brother again! He's actually pretty good, at least he's become a bully in two versions."
About half an hour ago, a team of cattle and horses riding a truck at the north entrance of the Wetland Park arrived here.
According to the data analysis results provided by Yin Fang, the leader of the scientific expedition team, the Ecological Park No. 3 located under the Experimental Building No. 3 is still in operation, and the reactor and fuel rods they are looking for are in the Ecological Park.
As the strongest combat force in the entire server, the hexagonal all-powerful team of cows and horses is naturally more than enough to deal with a group of novices with experience packs.
Even the previous versions of the "Wavelet SS" crawlers could not stop the "anti-armor javelins" thrown by Lao Bai and Guangfeng at the same time.
That thing is like a cannonball.
Paired with a steel spearhead, two shots hitting the upper body can directly cause the crawler to lose half of its combat effectiveness.
If it hits the head, he will be killed on the spot!
Simply better than bullets!
At present, among the slime mold mutants, only the "tyrant" in the background setting can pose a substantial threat to them.
It is said that the hardened skin of that thing is so strong that it can withstand even rifle fire. It will probably be a bit difficult to break through the defense.
However, this is a suburb far away from the urban area, and the activity density of mutant slime mold is very low. It is basically impossible to encounter this kind of alien species that can only be encountered in areas where mutant slime mold is highly active.
Fang Chang, carrying a mechanical compound bow on his back, walked to the front desk where he asked, rummaged through the drawer for a while, and found a book with a floor plan printed on it.
"The entrance to the ecological park on the underground floor should be in the middle of the corridor on our right. There is a working elevator there...the same as the information provided by Dr. Yin Fang."
"It seems that the data we found in the security room came in handy," Lao Bai hung the crowbar on the exoskeleton, took off the 'Sickle' assault rifle from his back, grinned and said, "Let's go
, let’s go over and have a look.”
From the map, the ecological park is located on the underground floor of the laboratory, with only an elevator and a fire escape accessible.
It covers an area of nearly 15 acres, about the size of a football field.
Even after 200 years, the UV lights on the ceiling are still on.
However, due to lack of care, the ecological environment here has obviously become out of control. The number of broad-leafed plants has gained absolute upper hand, and the entire area has turned into a tropical rain forest.
Instead of taking the elevator, the group took the more reliable fire escape and entered through two gates.
Hot and humid air blows in your face.
Looking at the palm leaves swaying in front of his nose and the surprising sight in front of him, Ye Shi couldn't help but whisper.
"Is the environment here imitating some tropical island? I actually feel a little hot."
"After all, the temperature here is a full thirty degrees..." Lao Bai, who was wearing heavy armor, took the initiative to walk in front and looked around, "There are no survivors looking at this place?"
At this moment, Ye Shi suddenly frowned slightly and looked back behind him.
"Wait, why do I feel... someone is approaching us."
Lao Bai was slightly startled.
"real or fake?"
Although he asked this question, Ye Shi had the highest perception in the server after all. After hearing these words, the three of them immediately became alert.
Kuangfeng asked cautiously.
"The back or the front."
Ye Shi frowned and tried to concentrate.
"They probably came from behind, but I'm not sure if they followed us in or found it on their own."
"Whether they followed us in or not, they must have realized we were here when they saw the situation in the hall."
Fang Chang took off the mechanical compound bow from his back and gave his teammates a look.
"Ready to fight."
…
At the same time, the hall where the cow and horse team stayed before.
About twenty wastelanders arrived here.
Their equipment was extremely rudimentary, their clothes made of animal skins barely covered their bodies, and they had some strange accessories hanging on their bodies.
Some of them held iron-barreled rifles, some carried shotguns on their shoulders, and others carried homemade automatic weapons, or they didn't even have guns at all, only a baseball bat tied with iron wire and a roll.
Bladed machete.
"There are bullet casings on the ground."
The man with the tattoo on his face squatted down, picked up a bullet casing from the ground, narrowed his eyes slightly, stood up and glanced around.
"The blood is also new..."
"Someone has been here!"
Judging from the respectful attitude of others, he is the leader here.
The curly-haired man standing next to him whispered.
"It seems that someone else is eyeing this place."
Staring at the corridor in front of him with a vulture-like gaze, the man with the tattoo on his face ordered without any nonsense.
"They should still be here."
"Find them out."
"Yes!" The curly-haired man respectfully accepted the order and led his brothers towards the corridor.
…
In the ecological garden.
The elevator descended slowly and stopped on the ground.
Looking at the five men dressed as predators, they walked out of the elevator with alert expressions. Judging from the way they held their weapons, they were ready for battle.
I can't understand the chirping noise.
Ye Shi, who was lying behind the lush vegetation, had already set up his sniper rifle, quietly gestured towards Lao Bai, and mouthed the words.
'I feel like they are not good people...how should I say, should I fight them?'
Lao Bai was silent for a while, still weighing in his mind.
However, Fang Chang next to him had already made a judgment, pulled out an explosive arrow from his back, placed it on the bowstring of the mechanical compound bow, and lowered his voice to the limit and said.
"There are two possibilities. If it's not coming to the reactor, it's coming to us."
The strong wind not far away from him seemed to be thinking about him. He had already held a flying knife in his right hand, ready to take action at any time.
Lao Bai was silent in his heart, looking at Ye Shi beside him, and gently pointed with his left hand at the high-threat target holding an automatic rifle.
'I'll leave that to you.'
'receive.'
Ye Shi, who was lying on the ground, understood the idea, put his eyes on the scope, put his index finger on the trigger, took a deep breath, and was about to fire.
However, at this moment, a change suddenly occurred!
The chattering chatter of the predators seemed to disturb the creatures in the jungle, and only a sound of rapid running was heard, running towards the elevator from one side of the jungle.
"who!"
"Who's there!"
The five predators standing next to the elevator immediately aimed their weapons at them, but they didn't expect that they were not human at all!
Five pairs of pupils were all filled with fear.
Before they could pull the trigger, the black shadow about four meters long rushed out of the forest and was close to them within a few breaths.
The sharp claws like blades pierced the chest, and before the prey could even scream, the unlucky guy holding the shotgun was torn in half.
"Ahhh!"
"Damn it! Fire! Fire!"
The fear boiled instantly.
The predator holding an automatic rifle, regardless of his bitten companion, fired wildly at the monster's back, almost breaking the trigger with his index finger.
"Roar!"
After being hit hard by a shuttle on the back, the monster let out an angry roar and swung out its sharp claws again, cutting the man in half like cutting tofu!
The muzzle flame flickered.
Gunshots rang out in the forest!
Looking at the four-meter-tall giant, its thick and long tail, shocking claws, and the prey torn into pieces by it, the expressions of the four members of the cow-horse team changed wildly.
Death Claw!
In the official website database, one of the most ferocious beasts in the wasteland!
At this moment, Fang Chang finally figured out why no survivors were eyeing this place...
Ye Shi swallowed, his eyes filled with disbelief.
His senses were completely unaware of this monster!
"...Do we still want to fight?" He looked at Lao Bai nervously, his palms full of sweat.
Lao Bai gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"Withdraw first."
While the Deathclaws didn't notice them and were still feasting on their prey on the ground, they could slip away through the safe passage not far behind them.
However, at this moment, the gate of the safe passage suddenly opened, and a series of dense footsteps came from behind them.
Deathclaw's ears moved slightly, and when it heard the movement, it raised its head from the prey's body, its amber pupils shrank slightly, and a cruel hiss escaped from its sharp teeth.
It's excited!
There is actually prey delivered to your door!
The faces of Lao Bai and Fang Chang changed wildly. Their position was quite awkward, they were caught between this beast and the predators...
