[According to the opinions of NPC managers, the official name of DLZJ-1 is determined to be: Xiaguang]
"So what's the point of voting?" Si New District, Xizhou City.
Standing next to a half-human dead alien corpse, I looked at the server announcement on the VM screen and couldn't help but complain.
He browsed through the voting posts for a long time without finding the word "Xiaguang". What a lie!
Ten Fist Superman raised his hand in agreement.
"+1, why not call it Storm? It sounds impressive!" Kakarot patted my darkest shoulder and said with a grin.
"You don't understand this. Just break up the word "Xiaguang" and read it twice."
"Tear it apart? Kasumi...Hikari, what the fuck?"
After reciting it silently for five times, I suddenly came to my senses and shouted as if I had discovered a new world, "Good guy, you are using your position to pick up girls!"
Kevin with a Broken Leg: "Report it!" Ghost Hunter also had a smile on his face.
"Hahaha, I need to plan and report this with the dog. NPCs don't follow martial ethics!"
"Come on, you can't tell who is picking up who."
Listening to the ridicule of the brothers in the corps, Commander Quan Shui also laughed and joked, and then looked at the entrance of the subway station not far away.
Rotten algae leaves hung on the stained stop sign, like rotten vegetable leaves hanging on the teeth of wild beasts. A disgusting putrid smell wafted out from the gloomy entrance, as if it was not leading to the subway.
The entrance is the monster's open mouth.
The danger here is probably no less than in the center of Qingquan City.
Pulling the bolt to load the gun, he reached out to close the visor of his helmet, and at the same time put the portable deflector shield into standby mode.
After being fully prepared, he said, "No more nonsense, get ready to write the book.
A uniform response came from the communication channel. "Ook!"
The lake tide in Sixin District has been low for some time.
The alliance used the M-class water pump designed by Camp 101 to pump continuously for nearly a week, and finally emptied the tens of millions of cubic meters of water pressed above Shelter 100.
Perhaps in order to compensate the Storm Troopers for missing the server activities due to the bandit suppression operation, Planner Dog instructed the managers to give them the task of "recovering Vault 100".
As we all know, the resources of a shelter are the richest among all ruins, especially a shelter that has been sealed for two centuries and has not yet been opened!
And in addition to material rewards, the opening of new shelters
Players are usually given the honor of entering the "Hall of Fame"!
Not only that, all players who participate in the land reclamation can leave their names on this future novice village forever!
Therefore, Quan Shui accepted the task without hesitation. To be precise, this should not be considered a task.
It can be called a reward!
However, even with the nature of reward, this task is still not easy.
Although the predators active in this area have died and fled, the threat of alien species still exists.
Especially the Sixin District, which is flooded with lake water.
A large number of deadly arthropods are still active in this area.
In order to ensure the safety of the operation, Commander Quan Shui first called two hundred brothers over and cleared away all the alien species within 500 meters of the subway station entrance before leaving.
As for the task that could only be completed by ten people, this brother stuffed thirty people into it, and the lights of tactical flashlights almost illuminated the narrow subway station into daylight.
If it weren't for the fact that the "battlefield width" wasn't enough to allow too many people to fire at the same time, he might have planned to stuff a thousand
Go in alone!
After clearing away a few split-claw crabs lingering under the stairs of the subway station, Commander Quanshui reached out and pressed his hand on his helmet before giving the order.
"Team A follows me and advances forward. Team B follows Kakarot and is responsible for outputting firepower and protecting the flanks of Team A. Team C follows me to support us. Be careful of aliens stealing our butts and follow my orders."
Among the responses of "Copy that", there was my darkest interjection. "Usually, don't brothers follow me?"
Quan Shui rolled his eyes and said confidently.
"Shut up, I'm a dog officer, GKD!"
"....Gan!"
Being beaten to the punch by this guy, I almost suppressed the words "dog officer" that came to my lips, and walked forward cursing.
However, even though he complained, considering that Quan Shui was very reliable every time, he still obeyed the instructions obediently and called on the team members to form their formation and move forward.
The perception system is the pioneer.
There's nothing wrong with that.
...
The actual situation inside the subway station is worse than it looks from the outside. After all, it has been soaked in water for a century and a half, and Xizhou City itself is a paradise for alien species. It is normal for some strange things to be hidden here.
In fact, the water from Xizhou Lake did not flood this area in an instant, but it was poured in repeatedly several times, which finally led to the complete collapse of the underground facilities in the Fourth New District. From those abandoned clothes, sleeping bags
and daily necessities, it is not difficult to see that there were survivors who stayed in this natural shelter for a period of time two centuries ago.
They use cages to catch mice and other small animals, use rotten wooden boards and household garbage to cultivate mushrooms, and avoid the howling snow and radioactive dust falling with the wind and snow in the subway station, facing the crisis that they don't know when it will end.
Desperate prayer.
Those people were obviously not residents of Vault 100, but survivors who migrated towards the Great Rift Valley in the North. Since the Wasteland Era and the Wasteland were both concepts that were defined later, people at that time could not call them that.
Wastelander.
Maybe they had expected it.
The compatriots hiding in Vault 100 will open the door out of pity for them and take them in who are short of food and clothing.
But obviously.
Their expectations were ultimately dashed.
They are not the ones chosen to go to the future.
Until Vault 100 finally became part of the dust of history, the closed door was never opened.
Not once.
The soles of the boots made a sticky sound when they stepped on the wet concrete floor, like the whispers of the dead lingering in an abandoned cemetery.
While adjusting my breathing, I moved the muzzle of the gun and carefully inspected every corner of the abandoned platform.
Water droplets from the ceiling would fall to the ground from time to time, or fall on his helmet and shoulders, giving him a chilling chill.
Especially the creaking sounds that came from the shadows from time to time, which made him unconsciously tighten his already tense nerves.
Even though the flickering flashlight light almost illuminates the area as daylight, it is still inevitable that there are unknown threats hidden in places that cannot be illuminated by the light.
The light of the flashlight inadvertently caught sight of an overturned vending machine, and a pool of rotting water plants was covered with a colorful sheen, which immediately attracted my darkest attention.
"There's a situation!"
He raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist, signaling to his teammates who were following him to stop, then he set up his rifle and took two cautious steps closer.
Just when I was about to take a look at what it was, I suddenly came face to face with the colorful pattern that looked like a ghost face.
The insect stared at him intently.
The dense eyes were squeezed into a ball on its face, and the slowly opening cracks revealed circles of short, fine teeth.
Then, it uncovered the arc-shaped carapace on its back, which was as thin as a piece of paper
The wings made a scalp-numbing sound.
"嘁嘁嘁-"
"Shet!"
I was so frightened that I pulled the trigger almost instinctively.
In a sudden flash of gunfire, the basketball-sized beetle was hit by dozens of bullets and instantly turned into a puddle of dark green liquid.
Hearing the sudden gunfire, the members of Team A immediately came to support, and then the sound of spring water came from the communication channel.
"Old Hei, what's going on over there?"
"An alien species that I have never seen before, a bit like... a beetle?"
I was fiddling with the action recorder on my tactical helmet, my heart racing, and I tried to retrieve the footage I had taken more than ten seconds ago. I endured nausea and shared it with other brothers in the corps.
However, the reaction of others was beyond his expectation. Instead of being disgusted, no one vomited it out in disgust, but instead started to appreciate it with judgment.
"This bug is so ugly that it's unique."
"1"
"The planning of the dog is very careful. The monsters in the new map don't have the same set of skins and textures. They actually have some new tricks that have never been seen before."
Listening to the conversation of those animals, I couldn't help but ask, "Holy shit, don't you feel disgusted?"
Seeing the serious expression on this guy's face, several team members holding rifles looked at each other, with subtle expressions on their faces.
"It's really disgusting when you say that."
"+1, I would probably be scared to death if I met you in real life." "But this is a game, right?"
"There seems to be a contribution for updating the alien illustrated book!"
Watching these guys talking excitedly, I was stunned for a long time.
like..
Makes sense?
Indeed, there is nothing to fear about the bugs in the game. Although they look a bit strange, their lethality is much weaker than that of mutants, right?
Comforting myself in this way, I took a deep breath to calm down my impetuous mood.
At the same time when he had just calmed down, Brother Quan Shui's voice came from the communication channel.
"Old Hei, I'll leave it to you to collect the samples. I couldn't hold myself any longer.
"Holy shit, why don't you do it?!" Quan Shui coughed.
"You're close...just do it.
i#夫%,,
I took out a plastic tube from the tactical vest, endured nausea and squatted down, casually dumped some tissue remains from the corpse and stuffed them into the test tube.
The dark green liquid looked weird.
It is said that they have never seen this alien species in the Xizhou City area for so long. Did this thing migrate from somewhere recently?
The sound of spring water came from the communication channel.
"You discovered it first, give this thing a name."
"I call you the blackest uncle!"
"Haha, I guess I won't pass. If you think about it again, we'll just have a chance to be nominated.
I thought about it seriously for a while.
"Grimaceous bug?"
Quan Shui: "OK, that's it!"
Generally speaking, as long as the name is not too dramatic, the Dog Planner will not exercise its veto power to reject it.
As the namer of a newly discovered alien species, the player's ID will be included in the settings set on the official website along with the alien species and become part of the game settings.
When the number of naming reaches ten and one hundred times, specific titles can be unlocked respectively.
Therefore, unlocking the Monster Manual is also one of the ways to play in "Wasteland OL", and many players with a collecting habit are very keen on this matter.
This has also brought a wealth of research samples to the alliance's biological research institutes.
This ends this little episode.
Team A continued on the road, heading towards the depths of the subway that had been blocked by the lake for nearly a century and a half. The scurrying bugs also caused a lot of trouble to them who were in charge of leading the charge.
Although these guys are not big in size, they are extremely aggressive and their attack methods are even weirder.
They usually
It lies still and waits until the prey enters the attack range, then flutters its wings and pounces towards the prey, stabbing the prey with the dagger-like stinger hidden in the abdomen, sucking out the body fluids from the prey and feeding on it.
Although their abdominal needles often cannot penetrate the breastplate of the exoskeleton, it is still dangerous to pierce vital parts such as the neck.
In particular, this small arthropod variant usually has a high stealth attribute and is extremely good at blending into the environment. It can always pop out from unexpected corners and surprise nervous players.
Although I have managed to get out of trouble several times, I
The darkest complexion is still slightly pale and bluish.
He felt that his sanity had almost been sucked away by these little bugs.
Walking to my darkest side, Ten Fist Man holding an LD-47 assault rifle smiled and joked.
"Brother, are you afraid?"
From just now, he felt that something was wrong with this guy, and he was completely different from the one on the surface.
My darkest brow twitched.
"Afraid? How is it possible... I just feel physically uncomfortable when I see the bugs, so I'm not afraid."
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden sound of vomiting in the communication channel.
"puff!"
"Are you too arrogant?"
"I vomited."
The ghost hunter in the graveyard did not join the dog guys in teasing him, he just laughed and patted the brother on the shoulder.
"Isn't that just because I'm afraid?" I said angrily in anger.
"Get out! You're the one who's scared. Your whole family is scared." A cheerful laughter came from the communication channel.
"Hey, it would be nice if the battlefield was always there." "+1, that guy rushes fast, hehe."
"This little black guy is so cowardly!"
Seeing that the explanation was not clear, I decided not to explain at all, and rolled my eyes at Graveyard Ghost Hunter and Ten Fist Man.
"Stop talking nonsense, go back to your positions, shut up and get to work!" The old guy from Battlefield must have arrived at Triumph City by now.
Point out no
Where do you plan to live happily? Can I download the book with you when I have time? And it was so many versions ago that it was so fast. Since leaving the save point, that guy is more cowardly than a dog spring water! "Copy that."
After accepting the darkest eye roll from me, Ten Fist Man made a salute gesture with a playful smile, and returned to their respective fighting positions with Graveyard Ghost Hunter.
The brief gag slightly diluted the scary atmosphere around it.
Although there are still alien species jumping out of the darkness with wings fluttering from time to time, I have gradually adapted to this surprising rhythm.
If you're not sure if there's a situation, shoot first. If there's movement, fire a shot. If there's a lot of movement, throw a grenade. If there's no movement, just keep moving forward.
Anyway, on your own territory, you have enough ammunition.
After several short and fierce exchanges of fire, everyone passed through the security check channel without incident and pushed all the way to the platform.
The tunnel under the platform was pitch black, and there was still water in the tunnel that had not been completely drained. It was probably no deeper than a person's knees.
The broken down carriage was stuck in the middle of a tunnel not far away, and they needed to pass through there to reach the entrance of Vault 100.
Glancing at the broken down carriage, Commander Quanshui ordered over the communication channel.
"Team A enters the tunnel, and Team BC is supporting at the edge of the platform." "Roger!" I looked at the teammates aside and gave Ten Punch Man a wink.
The latter understood, walked up to the edge of the platform, first fired a few shots at the abandoned carriages, and saw that there was no active movement of alien species, then shot a shuttle into the water, and then jumped from the platform into the tunnel.
inside.
Others also jumped off the platform and stepped into the knee-deep water.
The sewage soaked into the trouser legs, and the biting cold immediately climbed up to the ankles and knees. Even though the helmet blocked the pain, most players couldn't help but shiver.
Feeling the viscosity surging around his feet, Graveyard Ghost Hunter frowned and sniffed, and couldn't help but mutter something in the communication channel.
"Oh my god, this water really stinks!"
Having gotten used to the smell, Ten Fist Man teased, "Let Quan Shui's dog coin wash our pants when we get back!"
I am the darkest and the most unhappy person on my face.
However, thinking that the end was just ahead and the mission would be completed if he persisted, he did not talk nonsense in the communication channel and just said briefly.
"The entrance to the shelter is just ahead, keep going!" Others also shouted with energy.
"receive!"
The ten-man team pushed deep into the subway tunnel, pushing through circles of ripples on the knee-deep sewage water.
I always feel like my heart is beating very fast.
The cold sewage gave him not only a cold feeling, but also a trace of uneasiness and panic.
What should I say? It’s too quiet here!
At this time, he suddenly saw pieces of rotten wooden boards floating on the sparkling water in the distance under the flashlight beam.
They were entangled with rotting algae, mixed with floating plastic garbage and abandoned debris, and were impossible to see from the platform.
I was slightly startled.
board?
There are no trees around here, how can there be wooden boards?
At this moment, the "plank" floating on the surface of the water suddenly disappeared, and moved a lot in their direction as if it had moved instantaneously.
[To be honest, I have been using the Changing Source app recently to read and catch up on new books. Changing the source can make the reading sound more colorful, www.
huanyuanapp.com Available on both Android and Apple.】
Keenly capturing this change, my darkest hole shrank in an instant, and I set up my rifle and pointed it in that direction.
"Stop!" he shouted.
Almost at the same time that everyone stopped, he finally saw clearly how the "planks" moved -
That's not a board at all!
But a water strider that is only as big as a wolfdog!
The three pairs of slender long legs were so close to the water that no one noticed it at all.
They lurk in garbage piles and aquatic plants and wait patiently until prey enters their territory, then kick out their powerful hind legs.
Their light body makes them almost silent, and their tubular mouthparts exude a murderous aura like spears hidden in the reeds.
This time it’s not just me who is the darkest.
Finally seeing clearly the murderous intent hidden on the water, even the boldest Ten Fist Man couldn't help but change his expression this time.
"What the hell! Mutated Water Strider!?"
This guy is not uncommon in Xizhou City, and its number is even second only to warship shrimp and split-claw crab.
Most mutant water striders live on the shores of lakes. They are usually one meter in length, and their thick and powerful limbs can reach up to two meters when fully extended.
There is almost no excess fat on their bodies, and there are a few
It has a rich exoskeleton, and its attack method is mainly by kicking its legs to pounce on the prey, using its mutated fangs to pierce the prey, and then using a pair of forelimbs to break it down and eat it.
The explosive power of a small number of mutated water striders can even push an adult monster over. Therefore, even if the water resources in the Fourth New District are abundant, the alien species in the forest will hardly come to build their nests in this area. Most players are not willing to deal with this area.
Things get tangled up.
On the one hand, this is because it is too fast and difficult to hit, and on the other hand, it has little meat and cannot be eaten. If it were not for tasks related to the prevention and control of alien species, almost no one would be willing to provoke these difficult guys. "This thing does not live in the world.
Is it a shallow water area...how could you wander here?!"
"Who knows! They pumped the water for a whole week!"
"Perhaps it was those ghost-faced bugs that attracted it... I heard that water striders like to eat small bugs, and the mutated water striders should also-"
"Don't worry about what this thing eats! You're on its diet now! Fire up!"
Roaring loudly, I took the lead and pulled the trigger. I pressed my shoulder against the butt of the gun and fired toward the water in front of me.
Heavy gunfire
There was a sudden explosion in the tunnel, and everyone poured out ferocious firepower towards the alien species rushing towards them.
Retreat is impossible.
That guy was as fast as lightning on the water, but their feet seemed to be stuck with pieces of ice, making it impossible to run in this damn place.
Once they become cowarded and expose their vulnerable backs to the mouthparts of these alien species, they will inevitably become prey!
"Team A engages the enemy! Team BC comes forward to support them!"
Hearing the gunshots coming from the front of the tunnel, Commander Quanshui immediately issued the order, and at the same time deployed the fixed bracket of the Destroyer I exoskeleton and leveled the 120 heavy mortar.
Calculating the distance silently, Quan Shui continued shouting through the communication channel.
"Old Hei! You guys spread out to both sides!"
I was holding on to the trigger desperately, gritted my teeth, and took the time to signal to my teammates around me.
"Spread to both sides!"
Just as Team A gave way to the center of the tunnel, Kakarot had already led Team B up.
Kakarot jumped into the tunnel with water up to his knees with a "plop". Kakarot took the lead in setting up the squad machine gun with drum ammunition, and shouted loudly while pulling the trigger.
"Fire-"
"Tu tu tu tu!"
The continuous gunshots instantly drowned out his orders.
The support team's instantaneous burst of firepower formed flashes of light rain in the tunnel, passing through the area in the middle of the tunnel and splashing a series of half-person-high water splashes on the water in front of Team A.
But the gunfire didn't last long.
Team B had just poured out ammunition for a while, and Team A quickly collided with the mutated water strider that rushed in front of them, and they started a hand-to-hand fight.
Losing the output environment, Kakarot made a quick decision, hung the machine gun behind his back, and pulled out the short knife hanging on his waist.
"Rush up and help!"
All the brothers also picked up the melee fighters one after another and roared vigorously towards Team A who was struggling with the mutated water strider.
"Ouch!"
At the same time, Team A is locked in a tough battle.
Although the hunter lurking in the darkness was detected in advance, several
The huge amount of mutated water striders still broke through their firepower net.
I felt as if my chest had been hit by a bull. I fell backwards and fell into the water, almost filling my stomach with sewage.
Seeing the prey fall, the mutated water strider excitedly waved its two front legs, raised its mouthparts, and plunged forward.
Almost by instinct, I avoided the sharp tube piercing the throat. I pulled out the dagger and stabbed the mutated water strider in the head.
There was a dull sound and yellowish liquid splashed.
I suppressed my nausea and continued to stab twice until my flapping forelimbs lost their strength, then I kicked the twitching corpse away and struggled to stand up from the ground.
Almost at the same time, a cannonball landed thirty meters in front of him, and the shock wave caused by the explosion instantly pushed him back into the water as he had just stood up.
That was a petrol bomb.
The flames of the explosion were not submerged by the water in the tunnel, but quickly spread on the water.
The mutated water striders that had just woken up from hibernation were swept into the fire one after another.
They struggled and shook their limbs in the thick smoke, seemingly screaming silently, and then silently turned into ashes and submerged in the water.
As reinforcements from Team B arrived, the players quickly killed the remaining mutant water striders, and the battle in the tunnel ended.
After being fished out of the water by Kakarot, I coughed twice violently and immediately cursed in the communication channel.
"Holy shit! Dogecoin spring water, are you crazy?! Are you using mortars in this damn place?!"
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, brother, it's over, good fight!" Kakarot smiled and patted his back to comfort him, then looked forward, "Look, Shelter No. 100
just in front,
Here we are."
I most subconsciously followed his gaze and looked forward.
Behind the burning sea of fire, on one side of the tunnel covered with algae and stains, stood a giant metal gear.
Even though it has been submerged for more than a century, its surface is still as smooth as ever, with no trace of time left.
The blazing flames illuminated its surface, and an eye-catching number was printed on the center of the gear.
Staring at the huge gear-shaped door, my darkest expression couldn't help but move slightly.
