Chapter 677 The ghost under the deep sea

 ., Update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

The moment they heard these words, the eyes of the surrounding players suddenly lit up.

Good guy!

This is a triggered mission!

"I've been waiting for your words, brother," Lao Bai smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Tell me, what's wrong with you?"

"Those people...have gone crazy...cannot communicate at all...it must be the mind interference device! Yes...and those blue-skinned monsters!"

The man was talking incoherently, and seemed to have a lot of information. However, the players around him sounded nagging, and even Lao Bai couldn't help but wonder if his Renlian language had deteriorated.

"Don't be impatient...speak slowly, what is going on?"

Huang Guangwei swallowed his saliva and looked longingly at the barbecue on the fire.

"Can you...give me something to eat? I haven't eaten for three days."

"Let him eat enough first." Seeing this pitiful look, Lao Bai didn't have the heart to continue asking. He looked at Brother Shaodian aside and said, "Give him something to eat."

People who are extremely hungry cannot eat meat. Energy is needed to decompose protein and fat first, but this guy has already eaten a steamed bun, so he should be fine.

"okay."

Murderous Dagger nodded, went to the folding table in front of the bar, brought over the uneaten French fries and fried fish, and cut a piece of freshly grilled meat for him.

When the food was brought, the man was not picky. He grabbed a handful of French fries and stuffed it into his mouth. The rude eater was so rude that even the owner of the tavern, Yin Ren, scratched his head and muttered in confusion.

"Is this NPC's sense of taste broken?"

Does he know if the fries are delicious?

After devouring for a while, the man burped and leaned against the palm tree with his belly stretched out, panting. He half-squinted his eyes as if he was full of food and wine, but ended up squinting in front of everyone.

snore.

The players surrounding him were immediately dumbfounded.

They waited for a long time for this guy to speak, but this guy actually fell asleep after eating so much?!

This is not bad!

Several people picked up branches on the ground and poked him twice.

"Depend on!"

"Playing with us!"

"You're asking us to help, but you're just talking!"

Hearing a burst of noise around him, Huang Guangwei suddenly woke up from being poked. When he realized that he had dozed off in public, he felt embarrassed and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Hug, I'm sorry... I feel sleepy as soon as I'm full, and I almost forgot."

Lao Bai: "..."

Murderous dagger: "..."

Kill the chicken at midnight: "..."

Can you be any more unreliable?!

At this time, Fang Chang finally rushed over and immediately saw the man lying under the palm tree, and then looked at the submersible on the coast.

Without rushing to ask that person for questioning, he first called over a few strength players he knew, patted them on the shoulders, and pointed in the direction of the coastline.

"Go and drag that thing back and hide it somewhere."

The player looked at him strangely and asked.

"Towed to shore?"

"Um."

Fang Chang nodded, looked further out on the sea, and then walked towards the man leaning under the palm tree.

"Are you from Vault 70?"

"Yes...yes." Looking at the man squatting in front of him, Huang Guangwei nodded nervously.

Putting her hands on his shoulders, Fang Chang looked into his eyes and continued.

"Take a deep breath, don't be nervous...tell us, what did you encounter just now?"

After listening to the words of the man in front of him, Huang Guangwei took a deep breath and calmed down his nervousness before speaking slowly.

"A group of blue-skinned guys, they... look like humans, with gills on their chins. They have been chasing

Me, shoot harpoon bombs and torpedoes at me...and some weird stuff."

"The power system of my submersible was damaged by them, so I could only drift around with the ocean currents and let nature take its course... and then I ended up here."

"It seems you are pretty lucky," Lao Bai, who was squatting next to him, joked, "it just happened to float to us."

Huang Guangwei smiled weakly and whispered "thank you".

"But then again...a blue-skinned guy? With gills? What is that?" Midnight Killer looked at the man in confusion, confused by the monster in his mouth that fired harpoon bombs and torpedoes.

Got it.

At this time, Fang Chang, who was sitting beside him, gradually became serious.

"If I guess correctly, they are probably mutants..."

Hearing his words, the players squatting around were shocked, with surprised expressions on their faces.

"What the hell?!"

"Mutant?!"

"Aren't those beasts green?"

"When did they learn to swim?!"

Looking at the players who were whispering to each other with expressions of surprise on their faces, Fang Chang shook his head and continued with a serious expression.

"Mutants refer to humanoid lifeforms that are formed by improving the original 23 pairs of chromosomes in the human body through the incomplete research results of the Gestalt Life Project. They are not limited to green skin and strong bodies. They can be found in the desert.

There is a gray and black variant.”

After a pause, he continued.

"There are many survivor settlements located on the seaside in the Yunjian Province. Do you still remember the information collected in the official website? The company's commando team mainly targets those amphibious mutants who move along the coastline... They are different from ordinary

Mutants are different, their skin is blue, and a few of them have scales and fins attached."

Hearing this, the model worker took a deep breath and muttered.

"Good guy... How dare the Torch Church hook up with those guys?!"

The Pi City paratrooper who had been squatting next to him silently suddenly spoke.

"Is there a possibility that those blue-skinned mutants were created by the Torch Church?"

Lao Bai shook his head and said.

"This is unlikely. The Church of the Torch only appeared in the past twenty years. Those blue-skinned mutants seem to have been around for a while."

"I am also inclined to this view," Fang Chang nodded and continued, "After all, there is the example of Jinhe City. There is a natural intersection of interests between the Torch Church and mutants. I estimate that the two parties may have reached an agreement.

What kind of cooperation agreement, for example...the church will regularly provide those mutants with a group of slaves for the reproduction of future generations."

Although his expression was as written and euphemistic as possible, everyone still couldn't help but clenched their fists when they thought of the ranch they had seen in the shopping mall in Jinhe City.

"These beasts..." Midnight Killer muttered in a low voice, and involuntarily clenched his fists under the barrel, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

The Pi City paratrooper squatting aside also whispered.

"Is there any use in distinguishing those things? Anyway, those beasts are our enemies, and we have no intention of negotiating with them."

Fang Chang continued calmly.

"The relationship lies in whether they will launch an attack on us immediately... Now it seems that the church and the aquatic mutant tribe in the nearby sea should have a cooperative relationship. They are not aware of the situation on our side, or they are not aware of the situation.

We take it seriously so we can have some time to prepare."

Lao Bai nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice.

"It seems that we need to prepare not only fishing nets made of devil's silk, but also beachheads on the shore."

Fang Chang nodded.

"It's not just beachhead underwater weapons that are necessary...our assault rifles and bolters are only effective on land, and if we can't attack underwater targets, they can maneuver along the coast and attack from anywhere.

direction to attack us, this will be more difficult than aquatic alien species."

Lao Bai looked at him seriously and said.

"When I get offline, I'll ask the mosquitoes to see if they can think of ways to make some useful gadgets."

After a brief exchange in Mandarin, Fang Chang looked back at the man who was watching their exchange with blank eyes and continued.

"Why are those mutants chasing you?"

"I..." Huang Guangwei had a hesitant expression on his face, as if he was debating whether to speak out or not.

Fang Chang stared into his eyes and continued.

"If you don't tell us, we won't be able to help you."

"...Okay, I said."

Seemingly realizing that he had no other option but to confess, Huang Guangwei struggled for a moment and finally spoke, telling the whole story of why he ended up here...

"You should know that we had some conflicts with the people on the island because of some things..."

Fang Chang nodded.

"I heard that the survivors in the southern seas hope to introduce the modified Nago strain of the Torch Church into the southern seas to eliminate the dangerous aquatic mutants that are flooding in this sea area... This is the version I heard, it is like this

?"

Huang Guangwei swallowed and continued.

"That's basically it... This is not complete. First of all, we clearly told the survivors that the modified Nago strain of the Torch Church has great risks and is itself an unfinished and dangerous technology..."

"However, they are too confident and have completely lost their respect for nature. It is also our fault. We blame us for using the technology of the pre-war era to make their lives so smooth in the past century that they think they are

The Chosen One feels that as long as he selectively uses the good part like a mind interference device, he will not be affected by the bad part at all."

Fang Chang stared at him thoughtfully and asked.

"How to say?"

Huang Guangwei: "How can I say... Needless to say, haven't you already seen it? Since those magic sticks came, Haiya Province has become what it is now. When the Iron Tower Organization was still there, it was originally

Everything is going well, although there are some predators and some alien species, but at least it is not like it is now, where humans are neither humans nor ghosts."

Lao Bai couldn't help but ask.

"Can't they see?"

Huang Guangwei shook his head.

"Can't see? No, of course they can see it. You don't even need to look at it. How many years have they not done business with the ports of Haiya Province? But they don't care about the risks we mentioned. Not only do they have

Absolute confidence, and overconfidence in us... Guess what those people said to us when we told them that those lunatics in the north are seeking their own death and are dragging others along to die with them?"

Lao Bai: "How to answer?"

"They said, how can we know if we don't try it? What if we can perfect the imperfect technology? This will not only change the current situation in the southern seas, but it may also save those who have lost their self-awareness in Haiya Province.

Fools, they even changed the province of Baiyue... They are no longer seeking medical treatment indiscriminately due to acute illness, they are simply a group of arrogant fools."

When he said this, Huang Guangwei laughed loudly and raised his arm to wipe the seawater from his face.

"They make it easy...can we try it? I have been working with Vault 117 for decades, until they got themselves out of their way. Do I know if the technical route they proposed has any future?"

"Moreover, this is no longer a technical problem. The ultimate goal of those madmen is to ascend human beings into a new species they imagined - 'celestial beings', and then turn the earth into a paradise where heavenly beings live. You understand me

What do you mean? Naguo, which was designed for this ridiculous idea, was not designed to solve any existing specific problems in the wasteland from the beginning."

Lao Bai asked with a frown.

"Don't the Southern Islands Federation know? It's such an obvious thing, why would they side with the Torch Church?

?”

Huang Guangwei shook his head.

"Didn't I say that they know everything, but they are overconfident. It is undeniable that they have indeed achieved some achievements, such as using only a dozen square kilometers of land when most of the wastelanders were hungry.

It supported hundreds of thousands of survivors. For another example, when the provinces of Borneo and Luoxia were still practicing feudal kingship, they established relatively civilized systems."

"Given time, they might really be able to build a utopia on the sea that is not inferior to an ideal city, using the methods they have discovered that are most suitable for them... However, the fatal problem is also here. They have gone too smoothly along the way.

So much so that for most people on those islands, success is almost a given."

"There is no doubt that the Torch Church is a jackal. They also know that those guys have no good intentions, but they think it is nothing. They can tame the restless Nagomycelium like a mutated sea shark, and wrap it in arsenic

Eat the sugar coating, and throw away the arsenic unchanged... just like they used the mind interference device provided by the Torch Church and turned it into a tool to drive away alien species."

"The President of the Federation of the Southern Islands has negotiated with us for this. He hopes that the residents of Vault 70 and the thousands of experts we have trained in Coral City can work together to open the research facilities in Coral City to facilitate the investigation of the Torch Church.

The mother nest of the Tianting space station also cooperates with the apostles of the torch - the researchers to complete the improvement of Naguo."

"Of course we can't agree. It's not the first time that group of lunatics have come to our door. What's more, we knew the character of those guys twenty years ago. If we open the undersea research facilities to them, they will corrode them in minutes.

A group of our people were used by them, and then turned it into their home base... just like what they did in the Haiyia Province."

After listening to what he said, the players squatting around looked at him dumbly.

One of them couldn't help but ask.

"Then you started fighting?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Guangwei's expression became a little embarrassed, and he scratched his stubbled cheek with his index finger.

"There was no fight at the beginning... After all, the fleet is mainly in the hands of those settlements, and those settlements were built by us. Why should we attack our own people?"

Fang Chang nodded thoughtfully.

"really."

Put yourself in someone else's shoes and imagine that Vault 404 suddenly went to war with Dawn City. This kind of thing sounds outrageous enough.

It was a settlement they had built with countless blood and sweat. They would rather die for it a few more times than say they wanted to cause any damage.

The biggest difference between this game and other games is probably that every gathering place for players' activities is built brick by brick by the players themselves.

Not to mention being reluctant to destroy, in order to prevent new players from acting recklessly, they will not only actively participate in legislation and regulations, but also spontaneously take on the task of "passing on the fire" to mentor and apprentice, giving sufficient care and help to those new players.

They integrate into the society of the Alliance.

"Really?" Seeing the pensive expression of the man in front of him, Huang Guangwei paused and continued, "We originally planned to teach them a lesson, so we issued a notice for maintenance of power facilities, and then turned off the ocean current generator set..."

At this time, Lao Bai who was next to him suddenly spoke.

"I heard... you cut off the power supply and oxygen supply system of Coral City, and almost caused the 30,000 survivors to be buried under the sea——"

"That's nonsense! How could we do that kind of thing! And many residents of Coral City are our students, colleagues, and even family members!"

Huang Guangwei's eyes widened, as if he had been cut into a painful spot, and he retorted fiercely.

"It's them! The so-called federal authorities! They took advantage of our experts to evacuate the Ocean Current Power Station and brutally blew it up! Then they cut off the power supply system of Coral City in retaliation! We sent a rescue submarine, but they attacked

We dropped mines and in the end we only rescued a few hundred people!”

Looking at the man clenching his fists, Lao Bai spoke to calm him down.

"Don't get excited. The residents of Coral City are still doing well. I heard that federal authorities have relocated them to various islands."

Huang Guangwei looked at him in astonishment, and then slowly calmed down his breathing.

"Really? It seems like they still have some humanity... Have you already had contact with them?"

Lao Bai nodded.

"Yes, because of the contact, I feel that there may be some misunderstandings between you... Why don't you sit down and talk?"

Huang Guangwei curled his lips slightly.

"There's nothing to talk about. The federal authorities hope that Vault 70 can be used as a scientific research institution subordinate to federal leadership. I actually have no objection. We didn't want any special status, but at this juncture we can't agree.

If we let go, they will immediately hand over our achievements of more than a century to those lunatics in the north."

Model Voldemort looked at him in confusion and asked.

"Didn't you escape from that shelter just to talk to them?"

Huang Guangwei denied it as a matter of course.

"Of course not, I originally planned to go to the Great Rift Valley."

"Great Rift Valley?" Lao Bai looked at him blankly, "What are you doing there?"

"Of course we are looking for our manager! That bastard named Sun Yuechi! Without that guy, we can't even use the shelter to its full functions. We are completely unilaterally suppressed by those idiots from the Federation. If he

If we were here, things wouldn't be like this, at least we could use the equipment in the security inventory!"

When he said this, Huang Guangwei gritted his teeth in hatred and clenched his fists.

It looked like he wanted to punch that guy...if that guy was right in front of him.

Several players looked at each other, but they were confused by what he said.

This was the first time they heard the unfamiliar name Sun Yuechi, but the point was not that, but——

"Why are your managers... in the Great Rift Valley?"

"I also want to know what he is thinking," Huang Guangwei said cursingly. "At this juncture, that guy is still talking in his sleep... saying that there is the last flame left by the post-war reconstruction committee.

, we should have united under its banner, and it’s not too late to get over it now... they will take care of it. If those guys were really so enthusiastic, Haiya Province should not be like this!

"

Fang Chang touched his chin, thought for a moment and then asked.

"It's more than 3,000 kilometers from here to the Great Rift Valley...and it's a straight line distance. How are you going to get there?"

Huang Guangwei continued.

"I originally planned to go ashore in the eastern part of the Haiyia Province. It is a deserted place. It should be possible to avoid the eyes and ears of the Torch Church. As long as I go around to the Prancing Pony Province to the east of the River Valley Province, there should be a way to get there.

...I bet that asshole manager of theirs is going this way.”

Midnight Shaji looked at him doubtfully and asked.

"Then why did you come here?"

"I don't want to either," Huang Guangwei looked at him and said with a dumbfounded look. "I clearly avoided several major waterways and prepared to quietly reach the eastern coast of Haiya Province, but suddenly I was encountered by those blue-skinned guys.

They were chasing me...I don't know what they were hiding there, but we bumped into each other, and then I floated all the way here and was picked up by you."

When he said this, he looked at Fang Chang, Lao Bai and several others with a sincere expression.

"You are also residents of the refuge...can you take me to your side? I seem to have heard about you. You are in the southern part of the River Valley Province?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the airship in the sky and continued in a sincere tone.

"Please, I have no choice but to go..."

Lao Bai looked at Fang Chang and said unbearably.

"How about you take him back?"

Fang Chang pondered for a moment and answered in Mandarin.

"Well, I was wondering if it was possible,

Take the lead and let him sit down and talk with the authorities of the Federation of the Southern Islands."

Upon hearing this, Lao Bai paused and said in a dumbfounded voice.

"Are you thinking too much... Not to mention whether the forces we are currently deploying in this area have the ability to promote peace talks, how can you be sure that there are no Torch Church members in the federal authorities?"

Fang Chang sighed and said.

"This is also where I hesitate the most."

At present, both sides hold different opinions, and both believe that the explosion of the Ocean Current Power Station is the fault of the other party.

As for the specific situation, no one has direct evidence to prove it.

Of course, he is more inclined to think that this may be the Torch Church's interference, and then framed it for Vault 70, in order to provoke a war between the Southern Islands Federation and Vault.

However, there is another possibility. The explosion of the ocean current power station itself is the desired result of the Federation of the Southern Islands.

Energy is the rope that Vault 70 holds, and it is also an invisible deterrent.

Now this deterrent has been used up.

It is like a nuclear weapon thrown from the launcher, it has lost its significance as a deterrent.

The survivors of the islands in the southern seas discovered that they were not unable to survive because of the loss of the ocean current power station. They could import coal mines from Silver Moon Bay to restart the obsolete thermal generators, and they could also use solar and wind energy in conjunction with the power storage station.

There are still many solutions.

Although the cost of energy has risen, the islands are highly united under the Federation of the Southern Islands.

In comparison, the price they paid for this does not seem to be as expensive as imagined.

Fang Chang thought for a long time and sighed.

"Let's leave it to the managers to decide."

Lao Bai nodded.

"I think so too... Professional work should be left to professionals."

Fang Chang looked at Huang Guangwei and continued.

"We can take you to our place. It takes about two days' flight to Qingquan City."

Upon hearing this promise, Huang Guangwei showed an expression of relief on his face and said with tears of joy.

"Thank you...thank you so much!"

Fang Chang smiled and said.

"You're welcome, but there is one thing we need to ask you to help us with."

Huang Guangwei smiled happily and nodded.

"You feel free to ask! As long as I can help, I will do my best!"

Fang Chang continued.

"Concerning the fact that you were attacked by mutants on the eastern coast of Haiya Province, I hope you can record a video to give a detailed explanation, and then provide us with the coordinates of the attack."

After hearing this simple request, Huang Guangwei agreed without hesitation.

"No problem! I will cooperate at any time. If you need it, I can record the video now! As for the coordinates, they are on my submarine, so you can take them and use them!"

"We'll talk about the video later. I also need to report the situation to our manager. You go to our place to change clothes first to avoid catching a cold."

Fang Chang smiled friendly, then looked at the submarine that had been dragged ashore not far away, and continued.

"And your submarine, can you lend it to us? We want to try to repair its power system."

Huang Guangwei waved his hand carelessly and said generously.

"Take it and use it. As long as you can take me to Qingquan City, I can give it to you."

Originally, he didn't intend to keep that thing forever. If he successfully landed in Haiya Province, he might just throw it on the shore.

Now that someone has promised to take him to the River Valley Province, he naturally has no need for that thing.

Since these people are interested, let’s take it!

Seeing this guy waving generously, a happy smile appeared on Fang Chang's face.

"Then we won't be polite!"
