The mutants entrenched in Jinhe City have long been accustomed to attacks by the Iron Tower Organization, and this time seems to be no different from the last time.
Both sides left behind a dozen corpses each, and the fight ended hastily after a big fuss.
However, as Chu Guang guessed, the local mutant tribe was different from those in other places, and there were more people who were good at calculations.
Three armed trucks were blown up, and nineteen mutant soldiers were killed, including a centurion who was 30% cybernetic.
For a group of guerrilla soldiers who even had their equipment patched together, this battle damage was obviously suspiciously high...
The next morning.
On the messy streets, there stood a tall and majestic giant.
He is more than three meters tall, as strong as a wild bear, with green-black skin. Half of his body is made of granite-like muscles, and the other half is made of steel soaked in grease and mottled rust. At first glance, it is difficult to tell whether he is driven by flesh and blood.
Holding steel, or steel being controlled by flesh and blood.
His name is Qi Gaen, the leader of the secular faction of the Qi tribe. He is not only the strongest person in the entire tribe, but also the undisputed person with the highest authority.
Staring at the miserable corpse in front of him, his brows twisted into two centipedes, and he didn't know what was brewing in his twinkling pupils.
At this time, a stooped old mutant with patterned cloth strips on his shoulders walked half a step beside him and whispered softly.
"Missiles, Gauss rifles, powered armor, and airplanes... These sophisticated gadgets don't look like the work of stragglers. It's probably the humans from the north who are eyeing us."
The old man's name is Qi Gomo, he is the high priest of the Qi tribe, and he is over a hundred years old.
In the Qi tribe, although most of the elderly priests are from the ancient Ancestor sect, this Gomo is an exception, completely siding with the younger secular sect.
And this is one of the reasons why he was able to replace those respected old antiques and become the high priest of the tribe, and gain Gaen's trust.
"Where are they?" Gaen asked in a deep voice.
There was no ripple in the voice, but Gomo could still hear the anger brewing in it.
He knows this gentleman very well.
After all, he watched this child grow up...
Gomo's eyes moved slightly and he spoke in a very soft voice.
"I heard that a few days ago, the apostles of the Torch Church went to a place called Chenchen Town in the north of Jinhe City to preach, but there was no news."
"In the entire area around Jinhe City, there should be only one place called Chenchen Town that has not been embraced by the Holy Fire. Even Pinecone Wood Farm has become a puppet of the church, and that village only has two to three hundred households. With only that few people, it is
It’s impossible to live alone..."
It's obvious. Someone helped them.
And who those people are is self-evident.
After understanding Gomo's oblique advice, Ga En's lips curled up into a cold smile, and his scarlet gums exuded an aura of bloodthirsty and cruelty.
"Og."
After he finished speaking, a tall mutant warrior wearing heavy armor strode up to him, knelt down on one knee and spoke loudly.
"What are your orders, chief?"
Gaen took the map from Gomo's hand, looked at it, threw the map into the hands of the mutant warrior named Og, and ordered in a steady voice.
"You take five hundred troops and go to the settlement in the north called Dust Town to avenge your brother."
"The humans there—"
"Leave no one behind!"
The Torch Church hopes that they will ask for it from the sheepfold in a restrained manner, but since it is not a sheepfold, there is nothing to say.
This is a necessary deterrent.
He wanted those disrespectful people to remember the price of disobeying them. When he heard about avenging his brothers, Oger's eyes immediately filled with overwhelming fighting spirit and anger, and he clutched the wrinkled map in his hand.
"Og!"
After leaving the leader's side, Oger strode towards the open-top SUV parked on the roadside, yelling at the driver to drive to the military camp several kilometers away.
Soon, a group of slovenly-looking mutant soldiers with no sloppy equipment gathered at the door. There were about five hundred people in Wuyang Wuyang.
Half standing up from the open-top off-road vehicle, Oger grabbed a thigh-thick rifle and raised it high, shouting rudely at the top of his voice.
"Og!!!"
"Take you to kill those cowardly and ugly two-legged insects!!"
That rough roar seemed to carry a strange magic power, igniting countless pairs of pupils looking up at him.
A group of mutant soldiers standing in front of the door raised their weapons in the air and shouted excitedly and rudely for the upcoming killing.
"Og!!"
In the Qi tribe, names are given special meaning.
Only warriors recognized by the leader can be given a name that can be written, and only warriors who have made enough military exploits can have the tribe's surname in front of their name.
Calling one's name in front of the battle means staking one's honor and vowing to win.
And shouting the name of the general is a response to the oath!
"Let's go!!" Oge waved his hand as big as a cattail leaf fan.
Under his simple and rude orders, the mutant soldiers clambered and climbed onto the heavy truck.
Those who didn't squeeze into the truck hummed and ran behind the truck, as if they were rushing to attend a banquet filled with wine and meat, for fear of running too slow and falling behind.
Overloaded trucks with welded corners and steel plates were crawling like snails, leading a group of green heads and black gun muzzles to swarm toward the suburbs.
There were eight armed off-road vehicles cruising on both wings of the large army, with muscles as big as steamed buns filling up the space in the vehicles.
I have to say that this marching pattern is also quite "Goblin" style...
However, these "Ooks" obviously didn't notice that a drone was hovering above their heads and had been staring at them for a long time...
On the other side, Chenchen Town, fifty kilometers away, was currently shrouded in a thin morning mist and was still peaceful and peaceful.
The survivors living here have never seen a big thing like the "Viper" transport plane that can fly and breathe fire, and they all regard the players who come down from it as "celestial soldiers" sent by the emperor.
The local residents seemed to have developed a self-defeating logic, or belief, and had no doubts about the Emperor who saved them and the Emperor's great horned rat and horned deer gods...
....
"What the hell is the Emperor?!"
After learning about the situation in the town from the mayor, Ye Shi caught the trash man and asked, "How did I become a Primarch?!"
The garbage picker stared at me next to me awkwardly and wanted to take a quiet look. "You have to ask this guy."
I think Jingjing also had a subtle look on her face, coughed and said, "I was just joking, but I didn't expect them to take it seriously... And Primarch, don't you think it's cool?"
The strong man gave him a dissatisfied look.
"How cool! Originally, this group of unscrupulous people believed in the horned rat, but you were the only one who talked a lot, and stuffed it with a bunch of messy things."
I think Jingjing suddenly became unhappy.
"What do you mean it's a mess? I suspect you're disloyal!" Qiangren spat in confusion.
"Bah, human thing!"
Looking at the argument between one person and one mouse, Fang Chang looked away with a subtle expression.
"Maybe our game inventory is different."
He could neither understand the point of their argument nor intervene in their topic at all.
Suddenly remembering something, Jun Jun quickly pulled Ye Shi and asked. "By the way, I almost forgot, where are the fertilizers and seeds I asked you to bring? And tractors and stuff."
"How could that thing be put on an airplane?!"
Ye Shi rolled his eyes, but seeing the anxious look on this brother's face, he sighed and said, "Don't worry, I've got a truck for you. It should arrive in a few days."
"real?!"
The amber pupils suddenly lit up, and Jun Jun, whose face was gloomy just a second ago, instantly beamed with joy and hooked Ye Shi's shoulder with a smile.
"Thanks brother!"
"You're welcome, give me a ride next time."
"Ahem, it's okay to call me daddy."
The group was bragging about their awesomeness when the two "Viper" transport planes that returned to Boulder City last night suddenly emerged from the edge of the forest sea with two arcs of light. The high-speed jet of plasma plumes blew up large amounts of dust, dragging them with them.
Two jet-black fuselages slowly landed in the center of the town. "Your Majesty the Emperor!!"
Seeing the unique-looking airplane, Qin Baitian, the mayor of Chenchen Town, clenched his fists excitedly, came to his senses and hurriedly took the lead and knelt on the ground.
When the residents who went out to watch the excitement saw this, they also knelt down on the ground in excitement, facing the plane and praying devoutly.
Twenty players wearing exoskeletons jumped out of the cabin. They were all wearing K-10 "Iron Wall" heavy-duty exoskeletons, and they were holding a rifle that looked like a long brick and was ridiculously large.
The thick caliber is like a shortened 20mm "lance", but compared with the thick exoskeleton on their bodies, it doesn't seem too out of place.
Seeing the residents prostrate on the street, the leader of the Midnight Killer was stunned for a moment, and was stunned by the three-kowtow-nine-bow ceremony.
OK?
Just when he was at a loss, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far away.
"What the fuck?! Brother Chicken?!"
Seeing the leader, Midnight Killing Chicken, Ye Shi opened his eyes wide in surprise, walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and continued with a playful smile.
"Long time no see, why don't you cut down the trees?"
Although I occasionally see it on the forum, I haven't seen it in the game for a long time.
Throughout the Battle of Luoxia Province, the Jungle Corps hardly participated in the frontal battlefield. Instead, they were active in the northern area of the alliance, hunting for the alien species that nested near Dawn City, and tracking the alien species that wandered around the border between the River Valley Province and the central part of Luoxia Province.
He is a member of the Xiong Clan.
It is surrounded by high mountains and there are no roads to pass through, and supplies cannot be passed through places where people can pass by, but this is obviously not a problem for Brother Midnight.
A group of strength-type tough men, each armed with a logging ax, forcibly cut a road through the jungle.
In the process, they also discovered many survivors who were hiding in the mountains and forests to avoid the Bone Chewing Rebellion, and naturalized the unexpectedly gained population into Dawn City. In a sense, they were able to open up territory for the alliance.
So old.
Among the many gameplays in "Wasteland OL", the tree-cutting style represented by Midnight Brother is a unique gameplay.
Although this gameplay is a bit boring, and there are very few players who can persist, this long-term process of tempering the body is a good upgrade path for the power system, which is not much worse than training on the battlefield and construction sites.
His current level is LV34, which is only 2 levels away from Lao Bai.
If his fighting style wasn't too reckless and his battle damage rate was a little higher, I'm afraid he would have been ranked top 1 in the strength system.
Looking at Brother Ye Shi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Midnight Shaji smiled honestly. "Yes, we still have to cut down the trees, but the manager asked us to change the place to cut them, so we switched defenses with Brother Quanshui!"
Seeing the big thing in his hand, Ye Shi asked curiously. "What the hell are you doing? Why haven't I seen it in the store?" "XB-1'Growler' bolter! Fires 19mm bolt rounds.
!" Seeing the envy in the eyes of the players, Midnight Killer patted the guy on his hand and said with excitement, "This thing is probably the largest caliber light weapon in the alliance... This equipment is still under testing.
, that’s what we’re here for.”
"What the hell?! Bolter?"
Hearing this introduction, I think Jingjing's eyes widened, and the expression of obsession barely had the word "want" written on his face.
He looked envious even if he tried to force others to do something difficult, but after taking one look at his small body, he gave up helplessly.
The gun was as big as his entire rat. In the end, Goblin technology equipment was more suitable for him.
It would be nice if the mosquitoes didn't come around so often.
"Good guy.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n19mm?! You call this a gun?!" the Pi City paratrooper standing next to the midnight chicken slaughter said with a smile. "This
The power of this thing is indeed powerful enough. We tried it and it was able to explode steel plates as thick as your thumb! However, the ammunition load is a bit low. The magazine can only hold 20 rounds, and the double drum magazine can only hold 50 rounds.
Wearing an exoskeleton can carry three drums."
Ye Shiyi stretched out his hand and touched it with envy. "Good brother, give me some pleasure."
Xiaoxiao, a bookworm, smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Don't even think about it, you perception system. This thing requires at least 30 points of strength, or you need to wear a heavy-duty exoskeleton."
Ye Shi: "Damn! Can't I put on an exoskeleton?" Midnight Killer glanced at Ye Shi curiously. "By the way, where is your power armor?"
I heard that this guy showed off a lot during those few days in Boulder City, and he didn't care about electricity. He almost had that thing welded to his body.
Ye Shi scratched his head and said awkwardly.
"...The blood bar has turned yellow, so I sent it back for overhaul." Xiao Xiaoxiao Bookworm said: "Hahaha! Sorry!"
Ye Shi, who had already endured a round of teasing on the forum, sighed. "Damn... I'd better change to lighter equipment next time." He took his powered armor with him on the flight last night.
When I went back, the maintenance bill was as high as 100,000 silver coins, which was enough to buy a "Type 6" heavy cavalry exoskeleton.
After learning the lessons from the last battle, he planned to refer to Fang Chang's suggestion to get a lighter exoskeleton, and then add some add-ons such as optical camouflage and nitrogen injection.
This is more suitable for his shooting style.
"No nonsense, where is Lao Bai? I have something to ask him about."
As he spoke, Midnight Shaji glanced behind Ye Shi, and happened to see Lao Bai and Kuangfeng walking towards the entrance of the town.
"I'm here, long time no see."
After saying hello to Midnight Killer, Lao Bai looked at him and continued with a serious face, "I'm sorry to tell you some unfortunate news. You came at the wrong time. We have to move."
Xiaoxiao, the bookworm, was stunned for a moment.
"Transfer?"
"Um."
Kuang Feng, who was following Lao Bai, nodded and continued, "I just saw in the sky that the mutant tribe in the city has new movements. A large number of mutant soldiers have completed their assembly and are heading towards us.
direction forward."
After hearing these words, everyone had expressions of surprise on their faces. Especially Jun Jun, Qiang Ren, and Jing Jing. The three guys were dumbfounded on the spot.
Swallowing his saliva, he quietly asked with a trembling voice... How many people are there?"
Guang Feng: "At least five hundred." Ye Shi took a breath of cold air.
"Hey...this is more than what we encountered last night." Qiang was embarrassed and slapped his forehead with a sad expression on his face.
"This is so fucked up."
Before he could recover from what Guangfeng said, he asked with a confused look on his face.
"Wait, how do they know we're here?"
Kuang Feng shook his head and was about to explain, but Ye Shi rolled his eyes and rushed to speak.
"Isn't this an obvious thing? Those green-skinned muscular guys are just more violent and not blind. This is the only place in Jinhe City that has not been trapped by those church lunatics, not to mention that we let them go a few days ago.
What a shame, the missionary named Zhang Zhengyang is still in prison!"
Fang Chang glanced at Ye Shi in surprise.
Good guy.
This kid has made some progress.
"In short, this is the current situation. We need to start organizing the transfer of residents immediately. We have about half an hour to pack up.
Communication equipment and archiving tools must be taken away, as well as food as much as possible...
After giving the order to the brothers in the corps, Lao Bai then looked at the silent Brother Garbage and said seriously, "Brother Garbage, please explain the situation to the NPC... Please."
Although he can speak human-to-human speech himself, his local prestige is obviously not as good as that of a certain talking lizard. Now is the time to race against time, and there is no time to waste.
"OK."
Even though his mood was full of complications, Mr. Garbage knew that this was not the time to be willful, so he nodded lightly.
Walking to the side of the confused Mayor Qin, he spoke to the old man concisely and concisely.
I explained the situation to the old man and gave instructions about the transfer.
The old man couldn't believe it at first, and asked several times if it was true. But seeing the expression on the "god's face" that didn't look like he was joking, he finally gave up on his unrealistic illusions, gritted his teeth and trotted to inform everyone.
They went.
Thanks to the two planes just now, many people walked out of their homes to watch the excitement, and the news quickly spread throughout the town.
But even so, when they heard that those murderous mutants were coming, everyone was still frightened and their expressions changed.
House after house was filled with clanging sounds, men and women quarreling, and children crying. The peace and tranquility of the past seemed like a dream.
Looking at the chaotic streets, after holding back the silence for a long time, I finally couldn't help but speak.
"Can't you... guard it for a while?"
He knew that the fortifications here were a bit stretched, and a one-meter-high low wall and dozens of rifles could not stop the mutants.
But he still couldn't bear the thought of leaving this place behind.
After taking a look at the newcomer, Fang Chang could probably guess what he was thinking at the moment, but he still told the truth.
"It's hard."
"There is too little preparation time left for us. We are only fifty kilometers away from the city. They will be able to get here soon, and our large troops and logistics are still on the way. Even if we repulse their first wave of offensive
, will soon be submerged in the second and third waves of offensive."
"And this is already considered a plain. There are neither enough defenses nor enough weapons and ammunition reserves. The most realistic way at the moment is to move fifty kilometers north and re-establish an operational base in a mountainous area with higher terrain."
"Sorry, we may have burdened you," Lao Bai gently patted the newcomer on the shoulder, and sighed softly and said, "The only thing we can do is take away the residents here."
Jingjing raised her head, with a bitter expression on her face, and shook her head gently.
"Don't say that...even if it hadn't happened last night, the Torch Church wouldn't have let this place go. Without you, we would have been dead on the first day."
No matter how strong the garbage man is, he will still be in trouble against a hundred lunatics with automatic rifles...
Half an hour passed quickly.
The residents of the town have packed their luggage, carrying large and small bags, and are standing at the gate of the town with their families. The adults are carrying burdens, and the old people are holding their children. Their eyes are full of fear, helplessness and
Confused.
Leaving the land they depended on for survival, they didn't know where they were going next, let alone how they would live next year.
But the mutants are coming, and they have no choice but to escape.
If the predators can still negotiate, then in the eyes of mutants, they are basically no different from animals.
Men will be killed almost on the spot and made into dried meat, and women will be put in cages regardless of whether they are fifty or five years old.
After taking a complicated look at the town behind him and the residents standing at the door, Mr. Garbage suddenly made up his mind and walked up to Lao Bai.
"I plan to stay."
Probably thinking of going together with him, Qiangren followed him beside him, put his paws on his tail and sighed quietly.
"It's rare that I want to be with this stupid lizard... I'll stay here too."
I think Jingjing also stood up.
"Count me in."
Lao Bai glanced at the three of them in surprise, and his expression gradually became serious.
"You guys have to think clearly...this is no different from sending someone to death." I thought Jingjing smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of my head.
"It's okay... Anyway, I've already saved the file using your equipment. Just three days. And if someone cuts it off, I can also help you buy some more time to retreat."
In the past, he didn't particularly understand the unusual feelings that A-test players had towards the alliance.
It's obviously just a game, but they will completely stand on the alliance's side, put themselves in the collective interests, and even take the risk of not being able to save the game to do things with no end in sight.
But now, he suddenly understood.
Although they are not natives of this virtual world and have no blood connection with the NPCs, this is their home built brick by brick.
Just like "Minecraft", the props in the backpack are never the players' archives, but the home they built together.
And he felt the same way at this moment.
Whether it was the stone bricks paving the road or the windmill hanging on the mill, every plant and tree here recorded his memories of the past six months.
He still clearly remembered that when he and Jun Jun first came here, there was only a crooked turret and a thatched house that was not even a shack, a group of predators who ate people without spitting out their bones, and a group of skinny hungry people.
.
Now they have finally brought everyone back to live a normal life.
If anyone wants to ruin this place - come and try.
Even if he is just a rookie, he will try his best to hold them back for at least two seconds with his life!
Lao Bai stared at him for a while, confirmed the determination in his eyes, nodded, took a 20mm "rifle" with a modified receiver and magazine from the hands of the brothers next to him, and stuffed it into his hand.
Subconsciously taking over this heavy firepower, Jingjing felt her arms sinking down, and looked up at Lao Bai in surprise.
Lao Bai looked at him and said.
"LD-47 is not very effective against mutants, use this one." He grabbed the big thing in his hand and said quietly with emotion. "Thank you..."
Lao Bai smiled and said.
"You're welcome, you bought us time to retreat, but we should thank you."
"Hey, don't be so pretentious, I'm embarrassed!" Jun Jun patted Lao Bai's shoulder, grinned and said, "Killing predators is not exciting, but mutants are exciting! Wait for me on the official website
According to the news, if you don’t kill twenty or thirty people today, your name will be written backwards!”
Looking at the three people saying goodbye to everyone, Midnight Killer, who had been silent until now, suddenly burst into heroic laughter.
"Haha, how could such an interesting thing be without us!" Mr. Junk glanced at Brother Chicken.
"What's wrong with you?"
Looking at the surprised people, Midnight Killer grinned. "I almost forgot to tell you."
