Chapter 203 Everyone spends the winter hungry, why does your family have so much food?!
Cattle and Horse Club Group.
There are really mosquitoes in WC: "It's strange, where have all the dog managers gone? I haven't seen anyone the whole day."
Lao Bai: "Fang Chang and the others have gone on a mission, and they probably haven't gone offline yet. Is it really okay for you to say this in front of me? (Squinting smile)"
(Group member "WC really has mosquitoes" withdrew a message.)
WC really has mosquitoes: "Gan! They haven't gone offline yet? Aren't the characters tired?"
If it weren't for the fact that the characters in the game also need to sleep, I'm afraid many people in this game would stay online 24 hours a day.
Lao Bai: "It seems that he is sleeping during the shift. I just saw Fang Chang on the forum."
Tomato Scrambled Eggs: "Speaking of which, have you seen the post that Aguang posted on the official website? Version 1.0 seems to be coming out with a guild system. Do we want to set up a guild then?"
WC really has mosquitoes: "Do you even need to ask? It must be done! T0 echelon combat professional players and life professional players are all in our group. If we join forces, wouldn't we be invincible in the world! (Baring teeth)"
Ye Shi: "If you don't understand, just ask, is the T0 echelon life professional player you are talking about yourself? (Funny)"
There are really mosquitoes in WC: "Gan! Do you look down on goblin technology? (angry)"
Ye Shi: "I didn't, I'm not, how dare I. (Funny)"
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes: "(squinting)"
Lao Bai: "Haha, don't blame Mosquito. Some of the gadgets he made are very powerful. I might not be able to make them. By the way, Ye Shi, why did you come down? Have you completed the task?"
Ye Shi: "We're done. We're on the way back. We're taking turns riding the bicycle. I was riding the bicycle just now, and now the strong wind is carrying me. I lay on his back and fell asleep for a while. Brother quit smoking and hasn't mastered how to get off the line yet.
The trick, I guess I'm just dawdling, I just washed my face, and I'm waiting for a meal to change to Guangfeng's shift."
I hadn't tricked Lao Bai into joining the team before, so I asked him to quit smoking on Ye Shi.
The bicycles produced by No. 81 Steel Factory have a large frame and are more than enough for two people. Two bicycles for four people can be used interchangeably.
Tomato Scrambled Eggs: "By the way, what mission are you doing?"
Ye Shi: "Reconnaissance! Another group of people came to the north of us. There were about 6 trucks and 5 machine gun pickups with steel plates welded on them. The equipment was obviously better than the group we met last night. 80% of them were
The direct troops of the Bone Chewing Tribe. They circled the experimental base twice before going up. They must have been furious by now. I seemed to have heard a few gunshots. (Funny)"
Lao Bai: "Haha, the fuel rods and supplies were all taken away, and the ones that couldn't be taken away were burned. If it were me, they would be furious!"
WC is really a mosquito: "Don't go off track, what are you talking about about the guild? We have to think of a more awesome name, right?"
Ye Shi: "Do you even need to ask? (Funny)"
Lao Bai: "There is really no need to ask. (laughing)"
The name Cow Horse Club has almost become an urban legend in the stand-alone game circle along with "Wasteland Online".
It would be a waste if the guild were not called this name.
…
"Fuck! It's so fuckin' fucking!"
The residents of the shelter inquired, and Chu Guang couldn't help but curse when he saw the reward from the blind box.
There is no power armor.
The lottery results are as follows:
Two lollipops, three treatment needles, and an active substance extractor.
Chu Guang was confused and didn't understand what kind of weapon an active substance extractor was.
Is it because it can produce active substances used to make clones? Then clones are considered a consumable item classified under the weapon category?
The indirect relationship here is too long!
Chu Guang felt that if this logic could be established, bionic humans should also be considered weapons.
After all, it can be used as a human bomb, and can be used as cannon fodder on the line. If captured, it can also consume the enemy's physical strength. What is this other than a weapon?
so……
Can I smoke it?
"Forget it, it wouldn't be bad to have an extra active substance extractor."
In the past, when there were only dozens of players, not one person would die in a week. Now that the number of players has increased, and the strategy for the underground world of Qingquan City has been launched, "natural" attrition occurs every three to five, and the active substance extractor basically starts up.
It has never stopped and is running at full capacity every day.
Chu Guang calculated that, ignoring the time for retrieving the filler, he could produce an average of 1 to 3 units of active material per hour.
If it is a variant of the slime mold system, the recovery speed will be much slower than that of mammals, with the output per hour being 0.9~1.5 units.
At the same time, factors such as the integrity of the material, moisture content, temperature, degree of decay, etc. will all have an impact on the recycling amount and recycling speed.
After Chu Guang thought for a moment, he made a decision.
"The new active substance extractor will be deployed outside the B3 floor."
This also saves you from having to cut up the alien corpses into pieces, pack them, and send them to the surface for refining.
Chu Guang has already regarded Shelter 404 as his home.
Bringing those bloody things home made him feel a little uncomfortable.
…
Floor B3 of Vault 404.
Two guards carried a pitch-black "big coffin" one behind the other, and walked out through the gear-shaped door.
Outside the gate is an underground tunnel that is not marked on the map. It is connected to the Qingquan City subway network and extends outside Qingquan City. It is unknown where it leads.
The current progress of the players' strategy is about 1 kilometer to the north and 800 meters to the south. Due to the existence of the mother nest in the center of Qingquan, it will be more difficult to strategy towards the city center, even though it is far away from the city center.
The construction team at the outpost built a checkpoint here using cement, bricks and sandbags.
There are two guards on duty at the checkpoint, who are responsible for issuing tasks to the residents of the shelter while also preventing these residents from bringing some strange things back to the shelter, or attracting some alien species that are difficult to deal with.
Although there have been no accidents so far, the manager has equipped the place with a machine gun and 300 rounds of machine gun ammunition, as well as a simple 12kw wood generator and four searchlights.
In addition, there are two Panzerfaust rocket launchers in the sentry, which are placed in locked wooden boxes, with the keys kept by the shift captain.
It's like a small bunker here.
Even if you encounter a tyrant, you can still hold on for a minute or two and close the door of the shelter.
After carrying the "big black coffin" into the checkpoint and placing it next to the generator, the young rookie guard straightened up and wiped his sweat.
Seeing the commander pull out a wire from the generator and connect it to this strange-looking device, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Sir, what is this box used for?"
Liu Ding clapped his hands, glanced at the recruit, grinned and said.
"You don't want to know."
While he was talking, two residents of the shelter had already walked over, carrying a jet-black carcass of the Gnawer.
"We just saw a mission update!"
"Can the body of the Gnawer be recovered?"
After taking a look at the subtitles on the VM, Liu Ding followed the instructions of the manager, looked at them solemnly, nodded, and delivered a scripted monologue in a non-standard accent.
"Yes, respected warriors, this place is left to you."
The two players looked overjoyed, walked forward happily, skillfully opened the cover of the active substance extractor, and threw in the corpse they had started to set up.
They are already mature little players.
You can produce and synthesize your own raw materials yourself!
Elf King Fugui wiped the sweat from his forehead and stared at the active substance extractor that started working and couldn't help but ask.
"How many resurrection coins can this thing produce in a day?"
The mole on the run in the canyon replied casually.
"I heard one per hour...but the synthesis efficiency of the Gnawer is very low, and the specific output is unclear."
"Gan! That's all?"
"No way, I heard that only mammals can synthesize it more efficiently."
Elf King Fugui suddenly felt something in his heart and asked.
"How much can you squeeze out of a living person?"
The mole escaping in the canyon glanced at him.
"I haven't tried it before, why don't you lie down and try it?"
"Are you the devil???"
Liu Ding glanced at the VM. There were no subtitles on it, so he thought these people were not talking to him.
The young guard on the side looked at these warriors with longing.
When can I be as strong and brave as them, and fight those terrifying alien species alone...
…
The east entrance of the outpost.
About a hundred meters away from the ditch in front of the wall, the tribesmen were walking through the snow under the morning sun, carrying buckets, towards Linghu Lake in the west.
A new day starts with getting water.
Now in December, the surface of Linghu Lake has frozen, and people can even run on the lake near the shore. They need to cut open the lake surface before they can get the fresh water they need.
If you're lucky, you might be able to catch two fish that breathe through the ice.
Some time ago, a new fleeing tribe settled here, and tribesmen who had been separated during the journey also found this place one after another. The originally sparsely populated village also seemed to be much more lively.
However, although the two tribes are located next to each other with only a trail in between, they have not completely merged together to form the same village.
Even though they are relatively friendly to each other, and they have even become a newlywed couple recently, the two parties have a tacit understanding of maintaining a certain distance, neither being too distant, nor presumptuously getting too close.
The new tribe leader planted a spear at the door of his settlement as a totem of the tribe.
Seeing this, Wu Tieaxu followed suit. He found a wooden stake and placed it at the entrance of the settlement, and stuck an ax on it.
Thus, the two tribes, Frost Spear and Iron Ax, were born.
While patrolling outside the base with rifles on their backs, the two guards stopped for a while at the east gate, glanced at the village of tribal people, and chatted casually.
"The area around the base has become more and more lively recently."
"yes."
"I heard that among the new recruits who came to the guard recently, two of them are Burakumin?"
"There is such a thing. I remember that they were two dark and thin young men. I don't know if they were over 16 years old. I was really worried that they would wet their pants when they went to the battlefield and were frightened by the bullets flying over the trenches."
It's no joke if your pants get wet in this damn weather, it might be life-threatening.
"Speaking of which, is there going to be a war soon?"
"It's probably true. I heard from the brothers who came back last night that they had a fight with the bone-chewing tribe more than ten kilometers away. Rockets were flying in the sky, killing many people!"
Although it makes people frown when talking about war, none of the young men in the guard are afraid.
After all, even powerful enemies like the Legion had been defeated by them, let alone a group of barbarians who drank blood like hair?
They have no doubt that the wise and powerful administrators can lead them to victory, and those hyenas and wolves who dare to show their fangs to them will be crushed under the hammer of justice!
At this moment, a young guard trotted over from not far away.
"We need manpower in the north! You should be busy now. If not, come and help us."
The two patrolling guards looked stern and grasped the slings of their rifles.
"We are patrolling, what's the situation to the north?"
Seeing the nervous expressions of the two people, the young guard immediately smiled and said.
"Don't be nervous, they are not plunderers, they are trophies! In last night's operation, we dragged the trophies to Jiujiu Farm, and now a batch has been delivered to the north gate of the Wetland Park. The truck cannot enter the park, so we need to find some strong ones.
People help move and unload things.”
Upon hearing these words, the two men relaxed and relaxed their grip on the rifle sling.
"I'll notify the warehouse manager, please wait a moment."
Moving tasks are released to warehouse administrators, who do not have the authority to release tasks.
The young guard nodded energetically.
"Well, you don't need a lot of people, just about 10!"
In last night's battle, more than 30 tons of food were seized from the looters, as well as a large number of legion-standard weapons, bullets, and even artillery shells!
Some of the supplies were left at the long-term farm, while the other part was dragged to the outpost.
At this moment, in the central square of the nursing home, Brown, who had just gotten up, stretched out his hand to rub his sore eyebrows and couldn't help but yawn.
All night last night, the aerial images he saw on VM kept appearing over and over in his dreams, which kept him awake all night.
"Hey, our old landowner also got up so early."
Hearing the voice coming from behind, Brown turned around subconsciously, and when he saw the person talking to him, his brows suddenly furrowed three times.
"Your mouth still smells so bad. It's really hard for you to survive till now."
Night Owl, who had his arms folded, didn't take these words to heart, and forced a slightly mocking smile from Scar's face.
"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean any harm. Let's get down to business. How are you thinking about it?"
Brown raised his chin slightly.
"I refuse to make any comments until I hear specific relocation plans."
Relocation plan?
Do you need any other plans for this thing?
"You are still so difficult to understand...just tell me, I plan to move there."
In response to this childish remark, Brown sneered and replied calmly.
"Is this what you think alone, or what all the survivors of Highway Town think?"
Night Owl shrugged.
"It doesn't matter, I will convince them."
"What can I use to convince you?"
"We are no match for that group of marauders, and Boulder City doesn't care at all, let alone our life or death. If we don't unite, we will be defeated one by one."
Hearing this innocent statement, Brown couldn't help but sneer.
"Can you guarantee that those blue coats will definitely ensure your safety? Even if they have that ability, can you guarantee that they will not treat you as cannon fodder and throw you on the front line to consume the bullets of the predators?"
To be honest, although Brown had placed his hope on the sudden rise of the blue coats, they could solve the approaching trouble from the north, otherwise he would not have appeared here.
But the plan he envisioned was for the blue coats to organize a coalition that would show up at their doorsteps when necessary and work with them to deal with the raiders' attacks.
For this, he can pay a little price, whether it is food or something else.
However, Brown never expected that the plan put forward by these blue coats was to have all of them move here.
This is simply ridiculous!
If I really do this, it will undoubtedly mean losing everything I have now!
If you are afraid of taking ten thousand steps back, if you must run, why not run to the safer Boulder City?
It's obviously more civilized there!
The army is stronger!
It's much safer than here!
Just as the two were insisting on their own opinions, there was a commotion at the north gate.
I saw a group of shelter residents dragging wooden and iron trailers and transporting bundles of food in from outside.
A rough calculation shows that there are at least ten tons of grain.
Dolu happened to come out of the nursing home and rubbed his eyes not long after waking up.
Staring at the carts of grain being transported from the north gate to the warehouse, his green bean-sized eyes instantly became as big as coins, and he couldn't help but mutter.
"Where did all this food come from?!"
Everyone spends the winter hungry, why do you have so much food?
"Eighty percent of it belongs to those predators." Du Conglin walked out of the door of the nursing home, wearing a hunter's hat, with a mixed expression on his face.
Fortunately, this group of blue jackets are very powerful. Judging from these trophies, at least the video of black light and blind fire was not made by P. They did have a fight with those predators and won!
However, what is worrying is that judging from the amount of this food, the number of plunderers targeting the northern suburbs of Qingquan City is probably quite large!
Tens of thousands of kilograms of grain were transported to the granary one by one on carts, and what could not be accommodated had to be piled in makeshift sheds.
Such a large amount of rations would have to be transported several times by truck, but it didn’t look like it was prepared for one or two hundred people!
As we all know, those predators don't farm, at least not their own.
Being able to collect so much food, I'm afraid there will be many families and families destroyed along the way...
Representatives from other survivor settlements in the northern suburbs came out of the guest rooms one after another. They looked at the shelter residents who were busy carrying the loot, and the expressions on their faces were all interesting in their own way.
Some are envious, some are worried, and even some are hesitant.
At this moment, a man wearing power armor walked out of the main entrance of the nursing home.
After removing the mask of the powered armor, Chu Guang looked at the strange survivor closest to him and spoke in a friendly tone.
"How was your rest last night?"
Hearing the lord here talking to him, Du Conglin from the Morrowind Community said with a reserved expression.
"Thank you for your hospitality. I slept peacefully last night."
"That's good."
Smiling faintly, Chu Guang paused for a moment, looked at the representatives from other survivor settlements around him, and continued.
