Chapter 21 Hostile forces! New information unlocked!
Around 3:00 noon.
Chu Guang returned to the surface outpost of Sanctuary 404 with Ye Shi and the prey he had hunted.
The results of this expedition were quite gratifying. Although the two mutant hyenas looked a little thinner, they both weighed forty or fifty kilograms.
As one of the main sources of meat for survivors in the wasteland, mutant hyenas are the most cost-effective prey. The meat they can provide is ten times that of mutant rats, and there are many of them. They often appear in groups of three or five. The most important thing is
The risk of food poisoning is not high.
But on the other hand, in the absence of guns, it is difficult for ordinary scavengers to defeat such alien species that act in groups with cold weapons.
"Two mutant hyenas, and... one piece of good news and one piece of bad news." After leaving the prey at the entrance of the sanatorium, Chu Guang looked at the oncoming players and said.
Lao Bai was the first to ask the question.
"What's the good news?"
Chu Guang replied.
"The good news is that there is an unfinished construction site in the northeast of the Wetland Park along the elevated highway out of the city. We found a large amount of limestone used in the project there, which should be the type that has been desulfurized. There are also some abandoned trolleys.
, it should work after some repair.”
An expression of joy appeared on Lao Bai's face, and he clenched his fists excitedly.
"Very good!"
He was worried about not being able to find the raw materials for refining calcium carbonate cement, but he didn't expect that the problem would be solved so quickly.
And it’s a ready-made material!
However, Fang Chang, standing next to him, felt that things were not that simple.
"What about the bad news?"
Chu Guang continued.
"Just east of the Wetland Park, continuing along Street 76, is a camp for mutants. A rough estimate is that the number is upwards of twenty."
The three players looked at each other and did not understand the meaning of this sentence.
Seeing the confusion of his companions, Ye Shi hurriedly added an explanation.
"Mutants are a hostile force! They are powerful in combat, and the most important thing is to eat people. We must be careful!"
Chu Guang nodded.
"That's pretty much what it means."
After hearing this, the three players were not afraid, but showed expressions of eagerness to try, but Chu Guang quickly poured cold water on their excitement.
"Those mutants are not something we can deal with now. Their level is at least 10 or above. If we contact them rashly, not only will we lose money, but our position will also be exposed."
"From now on, everyone is prohibited from approaching 76th Street, and is prohibited from going out from the east gate of the Wetland Park until the threat is lifted!"
…
The players are quite obedient.
Although they were curious about what the mutants looked like, the managers who held the GM authority had said so, and they did not dare to disobey orders.
Closing a small dark room is a trivial matter.
It's so uncomfortable to lose the goodwill that I finally gained.
It seems that players don't need to worry too much.
After briefly inspecting the results of the morning's labor, Chu Guang concentrated on thinking about how to deal with the prey he had just caught.
Although he had eaten this stuff before, he had always bought it from a barbecue stall on Beit Street. He had never handled this kind of thing himself.
Chu Guang only heard that newly captured prey needs to be bled immediately, otherwise the meat will become fishy and smelly. As for the specific method of bleeding and what to do with it after bleeding, he is not sure.
In the previous five months, he mainly earned chips by picking up garbage, and did not have much experience in hunting.
After all, hunting is too dangerous for a solo traveler.
In short, after killing the prey, he cut open the prey's aorta, but he still felt that the blood was not drained cleanly.
Just when Chu Guang was thinking about it, Guangfeng came towards him.
"Dear administrator."
"Is there a problem."
"Can you give me some of the blood of your prey?"
"Blood? What do you want that thing for?" Chu Guang asked.
Kuangfeng explained.
"I want to test some conjectures and need to use them."
Chu Guang didn't think much, he picked up a short knife, chopped off a front leg from the mutated hyena in front of him, and threw it into Guang Feng's hand.
"take it."
"Thank you!"
After the strong wind died down, he left mysteriously.
Although Chu Guang was curious, he didn't ask any more questions.
Around evening, all the players returned to the sanatorium one by one. Looking at the expression on Lao Bai's face, he knew that today's harvest must be quite big.
Chu Guang originally wanted to inquire, but before he could ask, Lao Bai couldn't wait to speak.
"Dear Manager, under your wise guidance, the cement kiln at the outpost has been basically completed. When the cement dries tomorrow, we can start trial firing the first batch of cement!"
"very good."
Chu Guang nodded in approval and encouraged.
"Thanks to you, we are one step closer to the great goal of reviving the People's Federation! I hope you will continue to work hard and the organization will remember your contribution."
Chu Guang felt that he was getting more and more skilled at painting cakes.
However, the players don't seem to care whether he is painting a cake or not. It seems that they have discovered new joy in the labor of rebuilding their homes.
To put it bluntly, isn’t that what sandbox games are like?
Watching your home get better little by little is part of the fun. Being the first to experience this epoch-making immersive virtual reality technology is a blessing in itself.
Chu Guang is of course happy that these players can enjoy it.
The shelter is too poor now, and he really can't give them any substantial rewards, so he can only paint a picture first and give out some air coins or something.
…
After going offline.
There was another bustle in the Cow and Horse Club.
Recently, many night owls have changed their routines.
Led by Brother "Quit Smoking", people who used to have no sleep at night now go to bed on time at ten o'clock every night and get up on time at five o'clock in the morning just to watch a few dogs manage the "whole work".
Night Ten: [Mutants! New force update! Managers encountered a mutant colony on Street 76! To confirm that mutants are hostile forces!]
Ye Shi, who was the first to go offline, couldn't wait to be the first to bubble up, igniting the gossip enthusiasm of the group friends.
【Mutants?!What do they look like?】
[Why hasn’t the official website been updated yet?]
[Great! With the hostile forces now in place, the closed beta should be coming soon!]
【Gray, I really want to play!】
A series of news broke out.
Ye Shi continued to type.
[I don’t know exactly what they look like, and I haven’t seen them either! But don’t panic, the official website will definitely update information about mutants, and I’m waiting for news here too!]
Quit smoking: [Where are the other three people? Why are you the only one online today?]
Ye Shi: [I don’t know! The boss seems to be studying cement. Fang Feng should have classes in the morning. Fang Chang doesn’t know, this guy has always been quite mysterious. 】
(Public Enemy Girl was banned by the group leader for 1 hour ten times in the night.)
Lao Bai: [Are you trying to call me boss! (Anger)]
Keep people under the knife: [Hahaha, the ban is good!]
There are really mosquitoes in WC: [Excited...just wait for two more days and I can participate in the test!]
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes:【+1(funny.jpg)】
Quit smoking: [Bullshit! Ban these two show-off dogs! It’s so hateful! I obviously made the appointment first! T.T]
What can Ye Ao do to me: [Hey, it’s hopeless, it’s really hopeless.]
Even now, this guy named "Ye Ao Nai Wo He" still doesn't believe in the nonsense of "fully immersive virtual reality online games", let alone "100% real".
He and his supporters still firmly believe that this is a trick carried out by dog managers combined to spread rumors.
"It's a Long Day to Come" did not bubble up in the group today, but updated today's trial experience on the official website forum——
In other words, handwriting game live.
[Today is the third day of the closed test. The charcoal kiln has provided us with a large amount of coal. With the successful firing of plant ash cement, under the leadership of the boss, we have built a larger cement kiln. If tomorrow’s test firing
If it is successfully produced, we will obtain more reliable building materials to build our homes.]
[I have to brag about the production team. The experience this game brings to me is something that no game on the market has ever brought me. Especially when the cement kiln is completed, the
The sense of accomplishment is simply irresistible and impossible to extricate yourself from!】
[There is not much content to be tested today, mainly testing the sandbox system of the game. 】
[However, it is worth noting that today the administrator revealed to us that there is a tribe of mutants at the end of Street 76, which has been identified as a hostile force. All players need to be careful to avoid it. However, the administrator has not revealed any more information about the mutants. As of
Currently, there are no updated photos of mutants on the official website, maybe the plot is not there yet.]
[If there is new information, I will update it in the post as soon as possible. Also, friends who are looking forward to the public beta, please continue to pay attention to this post!]
"Tuyou" is what the players who make reservations call themselves.
Although there are only about forty people now, these people are all active - even avid users. In a short time, the number of posts increased to dozens of floors.
Chu Guang looked at the screen silently and did not participate in the discussion of the players.
But it was still the same old rules, he took notes of some good opinions, and he marked some players who had particularly thoughtful ideas in the background.
If there is a new plan to recruit players, these loyal users will be given top priority, while those who prefer to argue and make noises should be slowed down first. Rather than letting them come in to cause trouble, let them serve as atmosphere groups online.
Better.
To put it bluntly, you are here to cause trouble, why should I let you in?
Just because you have a small face and an underdeveloped brain?
At the current closed beta stage, Wasteland OL is actually more like a private server, and it is also an acquaintance server managed by permission dogs. It will not give people the chance to cause trouble. And by gradually increasing the reservation threshold, it will also allow those who have the game qualifications to
Players cherish the opportunities in their hands.
As for the public beta stage, that's even better.
Public beta naturally has public beta gameplay.
When the time comes, the land will be directly used as a novice village. There will be no certain level or honorary title, and you will not even be able to see his face.
Chu Guang found that he was becoming more and more sinister without realizing it.
When did it start?
never mind.
There's no point in thinking about such a thing.
Turning off the computer, Chu Guang opened the system and confirmed the rewards for today's daily tasks.
[Task: Cut down ten trees, reward: 1 bonus point]
[Task: Kill an alien species, reward: 3 reward points]
"There are a few tasks completed today."
That adds up to only 4 points.
Chu Guang struggled with his thoughts, but finally couldn't hold it back, opened the manager's allowance, and threw all 4 reward points on the primary blind box.
The alloy door opens.
Conveyor belt rolls.
Looking at the four lollipops lying at the end of the conveyor belt, Chu Guang almost couldn't help but let out a friendly national curse from his mouth.
However, at this moment, a line of translucent holographic pop-up windows suddenly appeared above one of the lollipops with a light golden outer packaging.
