"...Recently, the concentration of spores in the air in Qingquan City continues to rise. According to the analysis results of the Alliance Biological Research Institute, it is confirmed that a wave will occur within two weeks.
At present, the Alliance Army Command has designated some urban areas in Qingquan City as temporary strategic preparation areas. Residents in the Boulder City and Shuguang City areas are requested to pay attention to their personal safety, try to avoid activities in these areas, and do not leave other areas outside the settlements unless necessary.
Staying in the city for a long time.
But there is no need for everyone to panic, especially those who are new here. The annual waves have become the repertoire of Qingquan City. Even if they come violently, the final victory must belong to us who are united!
"Survivor Daily" will bring you first-hand frontline latest battle reports!
In Boulder City and the Pirate Bay Tavern, the lively atmosphere is like a blazing fire, and the sounds of drinking and shouting are endless.
Looking at the old-fashioned radio with a holographic screen on the bar, the drunk man burped and suddenly sighed.
“It’s so nostalgic.
The drinkers on the side looked at him.
"What do you miss?"
"House's Broadcast,"
The man chuckled, cleared his throat and said loudly... My dearest audience friends
We, the wave is coming, and the villagers and beggars outside the giant wall are looking longingly at us who live a prosperous life. Of course we will not open the door, but we can watch their jokes and howl with hunger by the warm fireplace.
, watching them and the corpse-gnawers rolling in the mire. As for our young men, under the wise command of the militia group, there were very few casualties. Although a few people died, those people didn't have a single chip in their pockets. In fact, they are not considered huge rocks.
People from the city.”
He imitated House's exaggerated voice, and it was so funny that everyone couldn't help laughing after hearing it.
"House hahaha!"
"If you didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten about this guy!"
The days are getting better day by day.
But occasionally they still think back to the unhappy days and those guys who have moved away.
Some things can only be understood when looking back. You don't even need to add annotations, just read what Mr. House said again, and everyone will smile knowingly.
"Speaking of which, where did he go?"
"I also heard that he went to Honghe Town at first, but the mine bosses there didn't listen to the radio at all, so he had to move to Garbage City. As a coincidence, there happened to be his listeners there, but they all thought he was
He was expelled by the alliance, and the legislators there were so frightened that they didn't even dare to let him in."
"Hahaha, I don't think the manager is as knowledgeable as this guy. If he were really familiar with him, he wouldn't even be here.
Can't get out of the door.
"I heard that he later moved to the Bugla Free State, where no matter who he was, he could continue to do his old job."
After that drastic change, many nobles in the inner city and businessmen who helped the nobles ran to the great place in the north where money could buy everything.
For example, Weijia, I heard that he was doing pretty well. He used to look like a slave, but after going there he became like a decent person.
This guy is like a loach that got into the muddy pond from the semi-clear water, and his life is better than before.
But they didn't envy that guy.
For the vast majority of people here, they have had enough of the "winner-takes-all suffering". Whoever wants to eat can just eat it themselves.
They won't be envious if they win, and they won't feel pity if they lose. They will only go their own way from now on.
At this time, the sound of wind chimes came from the door, wet footprints stepped on the wooden floor, and Qiao Yin, the leader of the militia regiment who had just gotten off work, strode towards this side.
"It's not appropriate for you to blame this on our militia group. We did the work, although I admit that we didn't do much before."
Everyone's eyes turned towards the direction where the sound came from. When they saw it was Qiao Yin, the man who had imitated House earlier had a look of surprise on his face.
Love, he said with a smile.
"Qiao Yin? Of course we are not targeting you. We all know that you are a good person. How are you doing recently?"
As he said that, he took the initiative to pull out the chair for Qiao Yin.
Sitting down calmly, Qiao Yin took the hot towel handed by the bartender and wiped his face.
The air quality is very bad these days.
Although the survivors here have long been accustomed to the musty air, they still inevitably get their faces and hair dirty.
He handed the towel to the bartender and said thank you. Qiao Yin ordered a cup of hot honey wine and said in a casual tone.
...As before, we are mainly responsible for defensive tasks. The Alliance has not made things difficult for us. As long as we can contain part of the wave in the Giant Wall area, they will launch an active attack from the Northern Third Ring Road to put pressure on our enemies. "
The man put his hand on his shoulder, shook it, and said seriously.
"Don't stand alone if you have difficulties. Tell us and we can fight."
Everyone else did the same, looking at him without joking. Qiao Yin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud.
"Hahaha, come on, do you want to fight with a bottle? It's better to leave the professional work to us professionals."
The man also grinned, but his expression was still a little uneasy. After all, it was the residents of the inner city who had been responsible for the past 200 years.
Facing the wave, this year is not only the first time they have faced this threat, but it has also been the most turbulent wave since the warm winter.
"Do you have enough manpower?" Qiao Yin said with a smile.
"There has never been a shortage, not to mention there are a group of useful guys this year.
"A useful guy?"
"Ghetto thugs, guys who trade with looters."
Hearing this sentence, people in the tavern quickly remembered the severe beating at the beginning of the year.
Those gang members are also quite stupid. The Alliance has long disliked them, but they always thought it was a problem of Boulder City and were too lazy to take care of it.
Now that Boulder City has joined the alliance, the filthy slums under the giant walls have become a problem for the alliance. Not only do those blind assholes not know how to restrain themselves, they even set their sights on the residents of the shelter.
I heard that the manager was in Boulder City at that time. After learning the news, he waved his hand and a dozen tanks that had just come down from the front line turned around and surrounded the slum under the corner. The suspected gang members were taken away for interrogation.
Those who resisted with weapons were shot on the spot.
I don’t know how many died in the end, but there must have been more than 5,000 people caught.
After that day, the entire slum became quiet. Boulder City
The orphanages and welfare homes were overflowing with rescued children.
"...I heard that the administrator organized them into a punishment camp and received three months of military training in Qingshi County."
Taking the mead from the bartender, Qiao Yin took a sip to moisten his throat.
"It's time for them to pay their debts."
There is a closed camp located near the Geopark in Qingshi County.
Unlike the nearby geological park that was transformed into a mine, people here do not need to spend all their time in the dark mine like those looters. After all, their crimes are not as serious as those of the looters.
Therefore they only need to work for 10 hours.
As for the rest of the time, they received harsh military training, using wooden sticks instead of rifles to learn how to stab and raise guns, crawling in the snow, and exercising their courage amidst machine gun fire and artillery fire at close range.
Prepare for the coming wave.
Some people who couldn't hold on died in training or fell in the mines, but those were only a few.
Even though the terrifying amount of training was crazy, the vitality of the wastelanders was very tenacious, so there were still more than 5,000 people who survived.
In just three months, these guys who used to be gangsters completely changed their appearance, even if they were originally fat and had fatty liver disease.
The guy has lost weight all over his neck.
Only after losing freedom and dignity will people know the value of both, and this is where the meaning of prison lies.
After this training in the punishment camp, even if it was not enough for these villains to understand the etiquette and shame of civilized people, it at least allowed them to remember the punishment with their bodies.
The day's training ended as usual. The officers of the 1,000-man team of the Alliance's 1st Corps called a group of hundreds of prisoners to the cafeteria and announced the mission for the next two weeks.
Although it was expected, when they heard that they would step onto the battlefield as cannon fodder, everyone still showed timid and panic expressions on their faces.
However, in response to everyone's timidity, the officer continued expressionlessly.
"This year's wave is different from previous years. Many of you will die, even the vast majority."
One prisoner swallowed, mustered up the courage to look at the officer and asked.
"What if we survive?"
The officer glanced at him, knew what he wanted to ask, and continued.
"If you survive, you can earn the qualifications as human beings. As for whether you can become a resident of the alliance, it depends on your performance.
"However, the administrator promises that after the wave is over, regardless of whether you have won the approval of the alliance residents, you will not
If you must come back here again, you can go to the south to reclaim wasteland as a "supervised person" and open up a new settlement there.
"If you perform well, you have a chance to become residents."
Hearing these words, many prisoners showed happy expressions on their faces. No matter how bad the situation in the south is, it is still better than here. Besides, isn't there a Singularity City there?
As long as they are not exiled to the wasteland to fend for themselves, or thrown into the mines to work like animals until they die, it is acceptable to them.
However, some people knew about the situation in Jinchuan Province, which might be the next battlefield of the alliance, so some people showed sad expressions.
Looking at the prisoners whispering among each other, the officer continued expressionlessly.
"I'm not bargaining with you. You have only two choices. Either give up being a human being like those predators and work in the mines until you die, or pick up your last pitiful dignity and at least let us see that you are willing to fight for humanity.
Die for your identity.”
The cafeteria was quiet for a while.
One prisoner stood up first and raised his right hand.
"I'm willing to go." "What's your name?"
Facing the officer's inquiry, the man hesitated for a moment and lowered his head.
Said the head.
......dagger."
There are many people with this name in the slums of Boulder City. Some people who originally had no names will be given names such as daggers, kitchen knives, and axes after joining gangs.
Looking at the wrinkled hyperplastic skin on his arms, the officer frowned.
Members of the Dagger Gang will tattoo a dagger on their arms as a symbol of status. Other gangs also have similar habits. In the past, the alliance relied on these tattoos to capture many low-level gang members.
Later, these guys entered the punishment camp, and at the request of the supervisors, they either burned them or used sandpaper to remove all the marks on their bodies, but the scars would still remain.
He probably guessed the guy's identity, but the officer didn't say anything.
"From today on, your name is Bit, and you will be responsible for these more than one hundred people."
He raised his arm and glanced at the time on his watch, and continued, "Before you turn off the lights and go to bed, count the people who are going to stay."
Bit breathed a sigh of relief, wrote down his new name, and gave a military salute.
"Yes, sir."
With two weeks left before the wave, preparations for war
The work has entered the final stage.
A large amount of military supplies were transported into Shuguang City along the railway, and then transported to various positions in Qingquan City through transport trucks.
After uniting Boulder City, the alliance repaired the main traffic arteries in the city, both on the ground and on the ground.
The part is still underground.
The edge of the North Fifth Ring Road.
Wearing power armor, Chu Guang, accompanied by Wrench, inspected the status of the frontline positions.
Although the defense line is still the same as a year ago, like Dawn City, there have been earth-shaking changes.
If the alliance's army was just a group of miscellaneous armed forces using World War II and Cold War weapons before, then what stands here now is an out-and-out regular army.
Fully automatic weapons are not only installed in the entire army, but are even distributed to squads.
Each 155mm artillery piece stood like a forest on the position with its thick and long barrel.
It’s hard to imagine that just a year ago, most of the Alliance’s artillery were either second-hand goods seized from looters, or knock-offs made by the mosquito man with a group of players who were tortured like him.
Not just artillery.
There are also auxiliary equipment such as exoskeletons.
At the beginning, the "KV-1" exoskeleton consisted of welding just a few steel plates.
Pretty good equipment. Now even the workers loading and unloading goods are wearing the "Miner" exoskeleton produced in Ideal City.
Of course, it's not just people and equipment.
The most intuitive change is the entire position itself.
High-rise buildings are connected by concrete walls topped with barbed wire to form the innermost defense line. From there, firepower fulcrums built on the natural bunkers of skyscrapers extend outward, leaving only a few main roads installed.
Accessible gate.
Those high-rise buildings that serve as the fulcrum of firepower are like the edges and corners of the bastion in the classical period, able to provide almost all-round firepower coverage to adjacent streets.
The entire defense line almost covers the south side of Dawn City and the north side of Qingquan City, covering the entire area where survivors are active. If the slime mold fruiting body wants to bypass this line of defense, it must come from the east or west front.
Go around outside the city.
However, since the information exchange rate of slime mold is linked to the spore concentration, in turn, the activity of slime mold fruiting bodies in a certain area will also be affected by the spore concentration.
It's like a server can only support 100 players at most, and the information processing efficiency and channel width are only so large. If the administrator forcibly modifies the server protocol and lifts the limit on the number of people online, 10,000 people will flood into the server with a capacity of only 100 people.
, the final result must be that everyone is stuck in the slideshow.
The same goes for mutant slime molds that rely on "node organisms" for their activities. The shortcomings in their DNA prevent them from
The will of the brood expands to areas with thin spore clouds, and it can only concentrate its power in waves to break through the defense lines of civilization.
Therefore, there must be a small number of detoured fruiting bodies, and most of the fruiting bodies will be concentrated on the frontal position. This is also one of the conclusions reached by the Alliance Biological Research Institute through rigorous scientific research.
The Alliance does not need to follow the methods of the post-war reconstruction committee and encircle the entire city with giant walls.
Instead, it is enough to build a line of defense that extends from the area with higher spore cloud concentration to the area with lower concentration.
"...The positions we built in the last wave are still there. This time we have reinforced them on the original basis and also improved the defense mode!"
"According to the recommendations of the staff department, we divided the defense line into twenty sections and assigned them to twenty thousand-man teams respectively. Each section was divided into ten positions in three sections: front, middle and rear. The 334' mode spreads outward to ensure that the firepower can cover every inch of land in front of the position!"
Of course, the more detailed improvement plan is not just that simple. The firepower configuration, logistics transportation, and support methods of each position are all studied in more detail. However, these cannot be explained clearly in a short while, and the wrench is not detailed. List.
In the last wave, the alliance lacked experience in large-scale operations, but this time it was different.
After the baptism of the Luoxia Province Campaign, officers and soldiers of the alliance at all levels have considerable experience in various battlefield modes such as mobile warfare and positional warfare.
Looking at the wrench introduced with a red face, Chu Guang nodded approvingly and gave a positive evaluation.
"Well done
good."
Wrench smiled honestly, and the red light on that old face shone even brighter.
Most of the Alliance's first officers were like him, wastelanders saved from predators in Vault 404.
He doesn't have a very high or great ideological realm, and he doesn't like to think about that stuff at ordinary times.
For him, who has simple ideas in mind, the manager's recognition is a supreme honor.
Looking at the red-faced Wrench Chu Guang paused for a moment and continued.
"But there is one thing I have to tell you." Wrench said immediately after hearing this.
"Please give me your orders!"
"This is not an order, this is all arrangements for the future.
Chu Guang smiled and said in a casual tone.
"The scale of our army is getting bigger and bigger, and the original command system has become a bit bloated. So I plan to wait until the wave is over to re-divide the army establishment, and change the original division of thousands-man troops and ten-thousand-man troops into the People's League era. prepared by."
There has been a lot of discussion on the forum about the establishment of the alliance army. He had previously integrated the opinions of some of the professionals and discussed it with Vanus.
The legion uses the Ten Thousand Troops and Thousand Troops to frame people forward. That is because they have three years of quick clone cannon fodder. In addition, the Wilant officers themselves are military aristocrats with fiefdoms. The promotion of the entire society The channels are all based on military merit, and there is no need to set additional military ranks, so this simple and crude organization is easier for them to manage.
Although other survivor settlements in the wasteland did not have three-year quick clones, since human life was not valuable and there was no shortage of cannon fodder, these settlements also copied the clones.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with this copying method.
The arms produced by the legion are very popular in the entire wasteland, and as the survivor force with the strongest military strength, it is only normal for other survivor forces with poor armed forces to learn and imitate.
Not to mention the predators, who adhere to primitive laws and worship the violence of the legion. Therefore, among the predator tribes, captain of ten and centurion are not only titles symbolizing power, but also a symbol of honor and bravery.
With the dual choice between the settlements of most survivors and the raider tribes, the formation of thousands-man teams and hundred-man teams has become the mainstream in the wasteland.
However, the mainstream does not mean the only one. For example, the organization of an enterprise is completely opposite to that of an army.
Most of the private armed companies in the ideal city perform tasks in small teams, which are more extreme than the battalion-level tactical groups in reality and have been streamlined to the level of "company-level tactical groups."
The troops directly under the corporate organization are composed of commandos composed of hundreds of people.
However, Ideal City originally did not expand to the outside world, and the troops directly under it only mopped up the surrounding mutants. Most of the troubles were solved with money, so there was nothing wrong with adopting such a short and compact organization.
Whether it is an enterprise or a legion, the military concepts adopted do not fully meet the needs of the alliance.
Chu Guang planned to make a compromise between the two.
That is, the existing NPC corps will be reorganized using the sequence organization of army, division, brigade, regiment, battalion, company and platoon and the organization principle of "three-three system".
The reorganized First and Second Alliance Armies will be called the First and Second Alliance Armies, with 10 to 20 standard brigades of 2,000 personnel.
This kind of organization is not only more concise and clear, but also makes it easier to award military ranks.
As for the players, they still follow the original "corps" formation rules.
So far, the combat efficiency of each corps is quite good. There is no need for large-scale reforms. At most, some fine-tuning of details in battlefield positioning can be done.
These corps are actually equivalent to the alliance's "battalion-level tactical groups" and are responsible for carrying out higher-risk and more exciting special operations missions.
For players with strong individual combat capabilities, it is not practical to require them to fight completely according to the standards of a regular army.
According to Chu Guang’s own experience, players can accept being cut from leeks, and can even feel the pleasure of being cut, but they cannot accept it.
The operator was educated on how to play the game.
So he never teaches players what to do, he only sets rules to tell them what they can't do and what the penalties will be if they do.
Taking this opportunity, Chu Guang briefly talked about his plans for the future alliance's land, sea, air and space forces.
Although there was no sign of two of them, Wrench still listened very seriously and did not feel that he was joking at all.
After listening, he immediately gave a military salute without saying a word and said with a loyal face.
"The Alliance's First Corps resolutely obeys your instructions! Your will is the will of our army."
Seeing Wrench express his loyalty with a serious expression, Chu Guangdan smiled and said.
"Don't be so serious. You just have to be aware of the reorganization work after this wave. There is no need to inform you for the time being. The reason why I tell you in advance is that I hope you can try to explore in the direction I mentioned in the next battle.
I will then hold a meeting at the staff headquarters, where I will also solicit the opinions of officers at all levels."
As soon as he finished speaking, a prolonged alarm sounded from the south.
The two of them looked over there at the same time.
The thick gray-green fog that was originally as still as a lake suddenly rolled along the street towards their defense line like a mountain torrent.
Came over.
It's getting foggy!
It's a wave!
Looking at the menacing gray fog, Chu Guang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows with a hint of surprise.
The wave came earlier than the biological institute expected.
But it's normal.
There is no 100% accurate weather forecast.
Seeing the rolling thick fog, the wrench's hole shrank slightly, and he quickly looked at Chu Guang aside.
"Master Manager, please step back."
His intuition honed on the battlefield told him that this fog might not be that simple.
However, Chu Guang did not move, he just raised his chin in the direction of the defense line and spoke concisely.
"Don't worry about my safety, what you should care about is everyone behind this line of defense.
"Now do what you should do, I will be here to witness your bravery!
