Sitting in the dark cell, Bernie's face was full of haggard and dejection.
He could understand the failure of the expedition to the Great Rift Valley. They had indeed underestimated the strength of the Great Rift Valley and even more so the Holy Shield system.
Even after two centuries, the shield that covered the sky and the sun was still not something their cannonballs could penetrate. Their clone army launched a fearless charge, but it still failed to change the situation of the war.
Under the pouring firepower of the Great Rift Valley, their ten-thousand-strong force was annihilated in an organized manner.
However, what Bernie couldn't figure out was that even if he couldn't win the Great Rift Valley, why was it so difficult to defeat even an ordinary survivor settlement?
At this time, footsteps came from the corridor outside the prison.
Bernie raised his head and saw a familiar face, and he couldn't help but froze for a moment.
"...Vanus?"
Vanus sighed.
"As expected, it's you...Is Dillon okay?"
Hearing his boss's name, Bernie had a wry smile on his face.
"No wonder...seeing you here answered some of my questions."
Knowing that this guy probably took the credit for the victory on himself, Vanus shook his head.
"It has nothing to do with me. I just made a step-by-step plan and used the most satisfactory tactics... However, their performance exceeded my expectations."
Bernie was silent for a while.
"I remember you were ordered to intercept the Pioneer."
Vanus nodded.
"Yes."
Bernie didn't ask about the final result.
Because there is no need to ask.
This guy is standing here, with no shackles on his hands, and even a VM of the same style as the blue coats hanging on his hands. There is no doubt that his body and mind have changed into the shape of those people.
Seeing that Bernie didn't speak, Vanus walked to the window of the cell and continued talking on his own.
"While I was captured, I was sent to work in a brick factory. At first I thought they were going to humiliate me in this way, but in the end I found that the truth was not what I originally thought."
"The people who worked with me were the survivors nearby. They taught me how to make mud bricks from brick embryos, how to burn mud bricks into bricks, and how to build bricks into houses..."
Vanus paused for a moment.
"I still remember that co-worker. I remember that day he happily told me that through his hard work, he finally had his own house. When he planned to take his family over when winter passed, his eyes filled with longing were
What a color... I have never seen it in my territory."
"At first I didn't understand what the color written in his pupils was. It was only later that I gradually understood that it was hope for the future."
"They have chosen a completely different path from us, a path in which even the wastelanders living at the lowest level can gain equality and dignity. The people living here are willing to give everything for the land under their feet, even losing their money.
The last drop of blood."
"You are facing a group of warriors with faith. They clearly know why they are fighting. Do you still think that you lost just because of a few tactical mistakes?"
Bernie's Adam's apple moved.
He lowered his head and thought for a long time, then said with a wry smile.
"Are you here just to take a dig at your old friend?"
"without."
Vanus turned and looked at him.
"To be precise, it's an invitation."
…
The night is getting late.
As players are going offline one after another, the official website forum of "Wasteland OL" is very busy at the moment.
Many players were excited about the epic victory during the day and vividly described the situation on the forum.
In the past, everyone could only brag through words and dictation, and could not provide practical information. The cloud players listened to it and relied on their own imagination. Although they said it was awesome, they were really envious in their hearts, but to say how shocking it was, it was just that, mainly.
Relying on the cakes drawn in the official PV to satisfy my hunger.
It's different now.
Since the development of paid functions such as "game screenshots" and "squad voice", everyone has boasted that they no longer have to type and can just post pictures.
Of course, taking into account the factors of harmony and love, the blood will be replaced with pink paint, and R16 and some sensitive images will limit synchronization.
After all, there is no "dream filter" when you take off your helmet. You may not be frightened if you dream about broken arms and legs, but it is not impossible to be frightened when you see it in reality.
Garbage Picking Level 99: "... It's too late, but it's fast. The predator just pointed his gun at me. I just slid the shovel and took away two of them in an instant! Don't brag, there are a hundred heads in ten minutes, alien species
The sequence is really strong! (Baring teeth)"
Ye Ao couldn't help me: "You're laughing so hard, that's all? How dare you show off with a hundred heads in ten minutes? Have you ever heard of the dragon group? It's normal for children not to have heard of it. My brother is in the dragon group. He told me,
The weakest guy in their team can kill an entire company with a dagger, and ten minutes is enough for him to kill two people back and forth."
Trash Picking Level 99: "(Sweating Soybeans)"
Ye Shi: "Uh, dragon sniper? I have that one. (Funny)"
Irena: "If you don't understand, just ask, does your brother have a nickname called Shura? He raises the corners of his mouth at 90 degrees every time before taking action. (Funny)"
Elf King Fugui: "Ministry of Foreign Affairs: I advise you not to talk nonsense, this is not an intranet. (Funny)"
as usual.
Every time there is a big event or major update on the official website, Brother Yeao will come out and make a group joke when everyone is pretending to be cool, and then disappear from the forum immediately. No matter what others do, Aite will ignore it and just go with the gophers.
Similar.
Both players and cloud players have become accustomed to it, but no one takes it to heart.
Soon Mr. Garbage continued to talk about his heroic achievements, but at this moment, the battle report and settlement information of the Qingshi County victory suddenly appeared on the official website.
Trash Picking Level 99: "What the fuck? Is it so fast this time?!"
Quit smoking: "Planning is awesome!"
Usually you have to wait until the next day to see the battle report, but this time, for the first time, it came out the same night.
To everyone's surprise, the one with the highest score on the battlefield this time was the Storm Troopers.
As the first corps to break through the city's inner defense line and attack the enemy's headquarters, the Storm Corps captured Shiya and other bandit leaders alive despite fierce enemy resistance, and gained a lot of extra points.
But this is not the decisive factor.
The weighting item that really determines its far superior war score is its lightning-fast advancement speed when engaging in street battles with looters in the city.
With his excellent command, Brother Quanshui led the team to eliminate two Centuries in succession. It only took half the time expected to penetrate all the defense lines from the southern part of Qingshi County to the enemy's headquarters.
It is no exaggeration to say that the outstanding combat performance of the Storm Troops in the battle made the end of this battle at least an hour earlier.
Taking into account the casualties and ammunition consumption, the command gave it an evaluation of 23,000 points!
Ranked second is Brother Mole's Skeleton Corps, which received high ratings for its outstanding performance in critical battles, and third is the Death Corps.
Although the latter had a higher number of kills and eliminated hidden dangers hidden in corridors and alleys, nearly 30% of the battle losses lowered their total score.
As for Mosquito's Goblin Corps, they ranked fourth.
It is undeniable that the rockets and successive air strikes from aircraft caused heavy losses to the Shiya tribe stationed in Qingshi County.
However, the Goblin Corps' own battle losses were not low.
In the end, the number of players who succeeded in flying the plane back was less than 30%...
As for the Burning Corps, since the ambush battle in Songlinyu was not settled together with the siege battle in Qingshi County, but was settled separately as two battles, it was ranked fifth.
WC is really full of mosquitoes: "Gah! There are so many people in our group! Why isn't I the MVP! (Crazy)"
Commander Quanshui: "You don't understand this. Fighting is not about scalping, so how can it be calculated on a per-person basis? If it is really calculated on a per-person basis, then whoever is digging the trenches and those who are keeping the points will have to ask for excuses. They will all rush to the front to kill people."
, who cares about what’s behind. (Proud)”
Ye Shi: "You must have consumed too much ammunition. This round of rockets of yours will hit you, and the logistics will go directly to the sky. (Funny)"
Mole on the run in the canyon: "That's right! Just looking at the heads is of no use. I captured the first line of defense!"
Edge of water: "By the way, how many planes do you have flying back?"
WC is really a mosquito: "Does any good brother know when the campaign rewards will arrive, hehe."
Quit smoking: "Damn! This topic change is too blunt!"
Luo Yu: "This crappy plane is too difficult to fly.T.T"
The edge of the water: "Hey, they all say that I am a black car, who is the black car?"
Real estate killer: "Well, the ammunition consumption of our jungle corps seems to be a bit high, I'm scratching my head."
The ranking of battlefield scores is for reference only.
The settlement of campaign rewards will be calculated by a fixed formula based on the performance of each corps in each phase of the mission.
The server will directly issue a basic reward containing a large number of silver coins and contribution points to the player based on the total score of the player's corps.
The corps leader can also award 1st to 3rd level merit to outstanding players based on their team members' performance in battle, allowing them to receive 50 to 150% additional rewards on top of the original rewards.
The number of meritorious deeds that can be awarded in a battle is linked to the score obtained by the corps in the battle. As for who will be rewarded specifically, Chu Guang left the choice to each corps commander to decide.
Under the current mechanism, there is no cost for players to enter and exit the corps.
A regiment with clearly defined rewards and punishments will naturally become more courageous as it fights. A regiment that cannot handle even the most basic tasks of clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments will naturally become marginalized.
Letting the corps commanders handle the internal affairs of the corps by themselves is not only a power given to each corps commander by Chu Guang, but also a test of their organizational capabilities.
In the future, the size of the corps will become larger and larger. Currently, each corps is still a company-level unit. As the number of players increases and their levels grow, the corps with outstanding performance will soon develop into a battalion-level, regiment-level or even a unit containing multiple divisions.
Group Army.
Chu Guang will update the version as needed.
As for whether they can adapt to the version, that's up to the players themselves.
Of course, in addition to the merits determined internally by each corps, in this battle as usual, players will be awarded medals by the shelter official.
Although in the current version, the main part of the war is the various corps, the power of individuals cannot be ignored.
As the first team battle above the regiment level since the launch of the server of "Wasteland OL", this battle produced a total of 375 whiteboard medals and 12 special medals.
These special honors come with high additional rewards and are awarded by the Sanctuary to individuals who have outstanding performance in the campaign.
For example, forcing someone to do something difficult.
As an underground worker active behind enemy lines, the intelligence provided by the strongman and the chaos created behind the battlefield played a key role in the victory of the war.
And he also received the server's only golden "Eagle Eye Medal".
Forcing others to do something difficult: "Hahaha, who dares to say that my sequence is useless! How about one of the stronger ones! (Proud)"
Ye Shi: "It's useful, but most people can't choose this sequence. (Funny)"
Quit smoking: "What about your little brother?"
Forcibly forcing others to do something difficult: "It's okay! I'll be alive tomorrow anyway, and I'll fake a bunch of corpses when I get back! (bad smile)"
…
Shelter Medical Laboratory.
Chu Guang started from the scanning bed and saw the updated properties panel through the tablet.
He was sweating again last night. After getting up, he came to Heya without saying a word.
as expected.
Due to the outstanding performance of the players in the campaign, he has been upgraded again.

"...This time the sequence development progress actually increased by 2%."
Sitting on the chair opposite Chu Guang, Heya gently shook her silver-white hair and looked at him curiously.
"I'm used to it now. The only thing that confuses me is how your sequence progress grows."
"Isn't this the subject I taught you?" Chu Guang felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by that direct gaze. He picked up the top hanging on the bedside and put it on himself.
Heya nodded and continued.
"Well, I have a few conjectures so far, but there's not enough evidence yet."
"Just tell me the most likely possibility."
"The Brood."
The hand pulling the zipper stopped, and Chu Guang cast a confused look at her.
"What's the meaning?"
"The inspiration I got when I was studying the Brood, don't you think your evolutionary model is a little bit similar to the Brood?"
Heya continued with interest.
"The mother nest releases specific evolutionary bodies to integrate the surrounding fruiting bodies. The fruiting bodies evolve during the process of devouring them. As the command tower of the fruiting bodies, the mother's nest grows from the evolutionary process of the fruiting bodies... Although this metaphor is a bit far-fetched.
.”
Chu Guang: "...I think it's more than a little far-fetched."
"Well, after all, my understanding of morphological field technology is completely blank," Heya shrugged helplessly, "It would be nice if you could get more detailed information."
Chu Guang: "I also hope that I will tell you the news as soon as possible."
As a "singularity-level" technology stored in Vault 404, the information he has so far about the morphogenesis field is only an audio clip that only contains a few words.
There are many possibilities that can be guessed, but until there is enough rigorous evidence, they can only be conjectures.
Like Schrödinger's cat.
Only after the box is opened can you know what is inside the box.
As for now.
Without enough clues, curiosity is useless.
After leaving the medical laboratory, Chu Guang returned to the browsing room, took himself a bottle of milk from the refrigerator, sat on the sofa and logged into the official website of "Wasteland OL".
Just as he expected.
For the first group-level battle in "Wasteland OL", the players were as excited as 200-pound children, and the forum was as lively as the Chinese New Year.
Especially Xiaoqi uploaded the edited battle video. From the air to the ground to the narrow building, the details are rendered to the extreme, just like a real battlefield!
Players have already enjoyed themselves in the game, and cloud players have also enjoyed themselves once again.
The people who were still hesitating could not restrain their loneliness and took out ten precious minutes of their lives to fill out a form.
Although only more than 30 numbers are released every day, what if you win?
Driven by emotions, the number of players who made reservations increased significantly.
However, compared with the huge base of pre-registered players, the five-digit growth is no longer so obvious.
"This is no more burning than 2042!"
"I won't say anything anymore. I'll admit it even if it's cutting leeks. When will the krypton gold entrance be opened? I'll top it up with 50 cents first!"
"Thousands of people share the same PVE screen. It's a pity that there is no PVP mode, otherwise it might not be more exciting."
"Don't even think about PVP. There is only one camp you can join at the moment. However, the AI in this game is a bit awesome, so there is no difference when playing PVE."
“+1, it’s such a waste to use such awesome technology to make games. (Funny)”
Looking past the unhelpful comments, Chu Guang scrolled down and found that many players were studying the campaign scoring mechanism and the formula for calculating campaign benefits.
Although he has never made this public, players can still summarize some patterns through the public information.
For example, Brother Fang.
Less than two hours after the battle report went online, strategies for the updated corps system and campaign benefits soon appeared on the forum.
"...To make a long story short, there are two key points. One is about the corps, and the other is about the players in the corps system."
"Many people may have noticed in this battle that the points added in the Corps system not only determine the Corps' growth path, but also determine the tasks that the Corps may receive in a specific campaign."
"For example, a corps with higher armor is more likely to trigger attack missions. A corps with higher mobility is more likely to trigger insertion missions. Players who take the support route have almost no chance to go to the front line. They either fly planes or fire artillery from behind.
.”
"The war score is more determined by the completion of each stage. Different types of tasks have different KPI assessment standards. For example, for offensive tasks, the weighting item is breakthrough speed. For example, for street fighting tasks, the weighting item is battle damage. Support tasks require firepower accuracy, etc.
wait……"
"After the Beta version, the division of each corps will be clearer, and the calculation of scores will be closer to reality. As for capturing important targets, intercepting important intelligence, annihilating enemy troops other than intelligence in encounters, etc., these do not intervene in the stage
Assessment, but as additional points, calculated directly into the final total score."
"To sum it up in one sentence, as long as you use standard ammunition within the specified time and complete the respective combat missions, you can get higher war scores."
"At the same time, the basic income that players receive in the battle is mainly determined by this score."
"If you want to obtain higher benefits, you must strive for higher scores for the team. For individuals who perform outstandingly in battle, the corps leader can also use his authority to grant them 50%, 100%, 150%
Additional rewards."
"Although the corps commander can decide who to award meritorious service to based on his own subjective judgment, the number of meritorious service that can be awarded is linked to the battlefield score."
"In other words, if rewards and punishments cannot be clearly defined, the cohesion of the corps will decline and it will be difficult to obtain higher war scores in battles, thus entering a vicious cycle of declining profits and declining numbers."
"It is strongly recommended that each corps establish a complete reward and punishment mechanism as soon as possible. As the level of the corps grows, the number of players it can accommodate will also increase. In the later stage, the possibility of players commanding a group army to fight cannot be ruled out. The sooner the system is established
Once completed, the resistance to reform will be smaller.”
"In addition, it is also recommended that when choosing a corps, newcomers should not only consider the level ranking, but also consider whether the rules of the corps are complete and the evaluation of their own corps by other members of the corps!"
good.
Elder Brother Fang still understands me as always.
Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction.
When he designed the corps system, his biggest original intention was to hope that players would gather players with similar styles based on their own game styles, and then build an organizational system suitable for them on this basis to maximize the combat effectiveness of a group of special people.
As for the name of this system, those are all details.
It is impossible for him to design an individual growth route for every player, but players can DIY their favorite gameplay within the rules.
If you really can't find the fun, you can also give the helmet to other players who can find the fun, and lie on the bed and have a good sleep.
In addition to discussions about the corps system itself, many players also focus on the economic aspects other than war.
For example, the canyon has a mole on the run.
This guy directly asserted in the post that the new alliance will usher in a wave of infrastructure construction in the future.
And the reason he gave is also very simple.
"Qingshi County is at least 80 kilometers away from Shuguang City, right? How much cement, steel, sand and asphalt will be needed to build the railway and highway? No need to think about it, the demand for these bulk commodities will definitely increase! If now,
Opening a sand quarry and a biomass oil refinery in Yuanxi Town will definitely make a lot of money!"
Tails: "Oh! That's awesome! Si, take notes quickly! (?ω?)"
Sisi: "I'm remembering it, I'm remembering it."
Mole on the run in the canyon: "Gan! You whores for free, you should give me some of the money you made! (Crazy)"
Chu Guang read the post from beginning to end, sighing in his heart, and silently became more excited.
With these smart little players, why worry about not being able to recover the People's League?
Of course, he had already thought of what Brother Mole mentioned in his post.
After Xizhou is conquered, not only roads and railways will be built to Xizhou, but Chu Guang plans to move heavy industry there as well.
Dawn City's location is too close to its powerful neighbor, Boulder City, and the risk of developing heavy industry under the other's nose is too great.
The new alliance needs sufficient strategic depth to deal with possible dangers.
After this war is over, Chu Guang plans to build a new settlement in Xizhou City to accommodate local survivors and gradually transfer Shuguang City's heavy industry to the north.
Xizhou City is surrounded by mountains, close to lakes and rivers, has a lot of proven mineral resources, and most importantly, there is no mutant slime mold. It will be much easier to develop heavy industry than Qingquan City.
As for Shuguang City, it serves as a light industry, agriculture, and commercial base to produce daily necessities and various consumer goods needed by the residents of the New Alliance.
However, in order to turn these plans from blueprints into reality, the Ya clan stationed in Xizhou City must first be eliminated...
Chu Guang closed the official website and was about to leave the browsing room and head to the surface.
However, at this moment, Xiao Qi's voice suddenly came from the side.
"Master! The players you sent to station in Songlin Valley are under shelling!"
The moment he heard these words, Chu Guang's expression froze slightly.
coming!
"Notify all Burning Corps players to go online immediately!"
