Downstairs of the Giant Stone Military Industry Building.
Looking up at the sky, the Killing Dagger, who was standing like a baboon, said with a look of discomfort.
"Damn it! Why can't I take a plane!"
The dog gave him all the good names standing aside. He glanced at his excavator-like hands and said with a smirk.
"You two pieces of iron, it's like taking two less people with you. You even dismantled the plane for no reason. You should save your energy."
The Kidney Fighter patted him on the shoulder.
"That's right, save your energy."
The Killing Dagger said with a look of discomfort.
"I want to dismantle this thing."
He now understands the pain of the alien players.
Ugly or not is another matter, but the fact that he can't use conventional weapons is uncomfortable enough.
If he had known earlier, he should have learned from the mosquito and installed a spine with more slots and installed two big fists as additional prostheses instead of directly replacing the two original arms.
This makes a lot more sense.
"Rich people..."
"You're wasting too much."
Kidney Fighter and Good Dog looked at this guy with envy.
The cost of modifying the mechanical prosthesis is not free. Depending on the situation, it may account for one-third or even one-half of the total price.
Killing Dagger smiled embarrassedly.
"Don't worry, you can sell it second-hand, hehe."
Kidney Fighter rolled his eyes and exposed his self-consolation.
"Who the hell would buy this thing!"
Not wanting to dwell on this regretful issue, Killing Dagger changed the subject.
"Why don't you go with the plane?"
Kidney Fighter sighed.
"Oh, I'm accompanying you."
"Good brother!"
Kidney Fighter raised his hand with emotion and wanted to pat the old kidney brother on the shoulder, but the latter was so scared that he dodged in a cold sweat.
"Fuck! Do you want to kill me!"
The dog took all the good names: "Hahahaha!"
After the preparations were completed, twelve trucks drove towards the east gate of Boulder City and drove along the road under the viaduct to the outskirts of the city.
On the other side, two Viper transport planes also left the apron, and the engines on their abdomens sprayed plasma plumes, flying to the south like two dragonflies one after the other.
Sitting next to the cabin window, Chen Yutong looked at the gradually shrinking giant wall and the ruins of high-rise buildings outside the giant wall, his eyes were fascinated.
Several cows and horses in the same plane looked at Ms. Chen's back and played the animal world in the communication channel.
"Spring is here."
"All things are revived."
"It's the season for animals to reproduce again."
"The male sea turtle is lying on--"
"Shut up."
Knowing that he couldn't defend himself, Lao Bai simply pinched the male microphones of those guys who jumped the most.
Everyone was quiet for a while.
But not long after, a few guys who couldn't sit still started talking in their private microphones again.
"Hey, I didn't expect that Lao Bai, the guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, couldn't bear the loneliness either." Ye Shi smacked his lips and said with a smirk.
Kuang Feng looked at him helplessly.
"Why are you so excited about someone else's girlfriend?"
"Don't you care about your brothers?" Ye Shi laughed and looked at Fang Chang, "By the way, where's your Dolly? Why doesn't she send you off?"
Fang Chang coughed.
"It's enough for me to ask her to send me to the door... Since you are so worried, you should worry about yourself."
Ye Shi was stunned for a moment, but soon came back to his senses and said with a laugh.
"What do I have to worry about... I never play games with couples."
Seeing the young man's confident look, Fang Chang laughed and suddenly moved his eyes and said meaningfully.
"Don't feel embarrassed. It's not uncommon to have a partner these days."
Seeing Fang Chang winking at him, Kuang Feng was slightly stunned, then he smiled and nodded with sudden realization, and followed with a meaningful sentence.
"Indeed."
Without waiting for Ye Shi to speak, Fang Chang continued.
"Let's talk about Wasteland OL. In fact, there are many players who are dating NPCs, but most players are more concerned about privacy and rarely tell others."
For example, he himself never shows affection in public, but the good brothers in the group are too enthusiastic, so the official website knows about it.
Ye Shi scratched his head.
"In fact, it's not that many... First of all, language is a problem, and secondly, culture and habits are also one aspect."
He doesn't know what others think, but he always feels that it feels weird to fall in love with NPCs.
It's okay for single-player games.
The problem is that this is a girl!
Especially for games in testing, in theory, the development team is collecting data from players all the time. Maybe they are having sex behind closed doors in the game, while they are broadcasting live on the big screen in the conference room.
When he thought about doing that kind of thing with countless OPs standing by and watching, he couldn't help but dig his toes into the ground, and at the same time, he felt a sense of admiration for the big-eyed brother.
In that situation, how did he stand up? !
It's impossible!
"Then you are wrong," Fang Chang smiled faintly at Ye Shi, who was confused, and continued, "In the face of feelings, what you said is not a problem at all."
Ye Shi asked in a low voice.
"Even if it is broadcast live-"
"Hey! The development team will not peek into the private lives of players... I asked A Guang, and he told me." Ye Shi was just halfway through his words when Fang Chang interrupted him in a hurry.
Good guy.
After laying the groundwork for a long time, I almost got myself into trouble.
Seeing Fang Chang's embarrassed expression, Ye Shimiao understood and chuckled.
"I believe it!"
Ignoring the boy's malicious smile, Fang Chang cleared his throat and continued to speak calmly.
"In short, there is nothing strange about dating NPCs. Especially the residents of the shelter, most wastelanders have their own attractive buffs. In addition, wastelanders are more passionate and unrestrained in character. It is normal for some players who usually don't have a strong sense of existence to suddenly have a partner."
Ye Shi frowned and looked at him.
"What do you want to say..."
Kuangfeng suddenly interrupted.
"I heard that Teng Teng seems to have a lot of suitors."
Ye Shi was stunned.
Without waiting for a second, his face quickly turned red like an apple.
"Wait... What does this have to do with Teng Teng?! Why did the topic suddenly jump to--"
"Not only is she beautiful, but she's also a rich woman."
Ignoring Ye Shi's incoherent speech, Fang Chang gave Kuang Feng a well-done look, and continued with a smile that showed his true colors.
"Even if she suddenly gets married one day, it's actually nothing to be surprised about."
Kuang Feng couldn't hold back his laughter.
"Haha, you're so bad."
Fang Chang squinted at him.
"You too."
Quit Smoking: "Hahaha!"
The cabin was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Ye Shi, who had been talking a few seconds ago, now looked at the wilderness outside the cabin with a look of melancholy, and shut his mouth and stopped talking.
Looking at Ye Shi who had turned off his microphone, Quit Smoking, who had laughed enough, coughed twice, turned around and said a few more words for Ye Shi.
"Hey, you guys just like to bully Brother Ye Shi, and I, an honest man, can't stand it anymore!"
Fang Chang and Kuang Feng subtly looked away.
"Isn't this just boring bragging?"
"That's right! This guy has made fun of me a lot..."
But Fang Chang was quite surprised.
I didn't expect this guy to be a virgin...
The 800-kilometer flight was only two hours for Viper, and a group of good friends were talking and laughing on the plane. This trip was not boring.
Around two o'clock in the afternoon.
On the horizon covered by mist, the outline of Jinhe City has already emerged.
Concrete buildings stand on the lush plains, with hills and forests on the edge.
Jinhe City does not have the high-density and concentrated buildings like Qingquan City. Only a few urban areas have high-rise buildings, and most urban areas are closer to the layout of modern cities - a center that stands out from the crowd is surrounded by an ordinary cement box.
"What a big city..."
"It feels bigger than the city in reality!"
"That's nonsense. There was a prosperous era before the wasteland era. According to the description of the prosperous era in the official website, there is no trace of the prosperous era in reality."
Looking in the direction of Jinhe City, Fang Chang opened the map of VM and compared it with the terrain in reality to confirm the approximate location of several mission coordinates.
At this time, the NPC pilot sitting in the co-pilot seat suddenly said
"It seems that there is something happening near the landing point."
Sensing that something was about to happen, everyone stopped joking and looked serious.
"Let me see."
Moving to the left side of the cabin, Lao Bai looked in the direction of Dust Town and tapped his helmet with his index finger.
The helmet of the power armor has a zoom function, so you can see clearly at this distance even without a telescope.
Staring at the direction of Dust Town for a long time, Lao Bai's brows gradually frowned.
"Militants were found near Dust Town, with a scale of about a hundred people... There are too many obstructions, and the exact number cannot be confirmed."
Kuangfeng said seriously.
"Do you want to release the drone?"
Lao Bai nodded.
"To be safe, let's send a drone over first."
Without any nonsense, Kuangfeng immediately opened the drone backpack, took out a Y-1 Firefly drone with folded rotors, and threw it out of the cabin like a paper airplane.
The drone glided for a while by inertia, and soon opened its two pairs of folded rotors and rushed towards the target airspace.
Just as Kuangfeng was operating the drone to fly over the target, Lao Bai continued to give orders in a deep voice.
"There is an abandoned logging site two kilometers north of Dust Town. One group will land with me on the open space on the south side of the logging site and walk to Dust Town."
"Group 2 is on standby in the air, turn on the weapon safety, and be ready to support at any time."
The pilot sitting in the front seat made a gesture.
"Received!"
The two Vipers parted ways in the air, one descended and flew towards the ground, and the other continued to move towards Dust Town.
At the same time, Dust Town, several kilometers away, was bustling with a crowd of people standing outside the two-person-high fence gate.
They were in high spirits, some carrying farm tools, some carrying rifles, and shouting something to the people in the gate.
A missionary in a robe stood in front of the team, looking at the survivors behind the wall with an arrogant look.
He brewed his emotions for a moment.
He raised his hand to signal the people behind him to stop yelling, and then faced the closed gate in front of him and said in a solemn and loud voice.
"Surrender."
"Kneel down before the Son of God and pray for the forgiveness of the Heavenly Fire. This is your last chance."
"Otherwise, all of you will be reduced to slaves, and your descendants will work under the scorching sun all day long, and the labor will not be relieved even after death."
"I will only give you two minutes to think about it."
After saying this, he hurriedly turned around and retreated into the crowd behind him, letting the believers beside him continue to knock on the door.
He had already pretended to be awesome, and it was obvious that this guy didn't want to be exposed to the enemy's gun for too long.
Looking at the ferocious guys outside the gate, the residents of the town all showed a trace of fear on their faces.
But they were afraid.
Thinking of the three gods living in the town, most people calmed down, holding their weapons tightly, and leaning against the one-meter-high low wall to wait for battle.
Fuck the torch!
Fuck the Son of God!
The invincible true god stood behind them and had hunted countless jackals and hyenas who coveted them.
They already had their own patron saints, and they would not trust those invisible and intangible guys!
Wearing the "Hunter" exoskeleton dedicated to the Death Claw, the garbage collector 99 was standing by the window on the third floor of the town hall, squinting at the people outside the town, thinking about how to get rid of those guys with the least casualties.
It's a pity that the mouse brothers' combat effectiveness on the front battlefield is too weak, and they are only good at sneak attacks. The agility-type newbie is not very bad, but it is not very strong either.
Needless to say, the survivors in the town would lose their morale if two people died, and they would have to rely on themselves in the end.
But there was a team of 100 people standing outside...
Difficult!
Standing next to Trash, the gray-haired mayor swallowed his saliva and nervously reminded him in a low voice.
"Sir... there are too many of them. If we really fight, we will probably suffer."
His name is Qin Baitian, the mayor elected by the villagers of Dust Town, and also the Gray Prophet of the Great Horned Rat Cult.
To be honest, he didn't really understand what the Great Horned Rat Cult and the Gray Prophet were, but he saw the talking rat and the Death Claw for the first time, so he believed it immediately.
His idea was very simple and plain. Whoever could keep the residents of the town safe, he and the residents of the town would recognize as the god here.
At first, Qin Baitian was extremely devout to the Great Horned Rat God Cult, but now the surrounding settlements seem to believe in the Torch Cult.
Not only were they excluded by the surrounding survivor settlements, but now they were also in trouble.
It was a bit embarrassing to say it, but seeing such a scene, he was somewhat discouraged.
If the Great Horned Deer God could rule this land together with the Holy Son holding the torch, he would not mind adding an extra stick of incense to the temple.
However, Garbage Jun had no intention of admitting defeat, and did not hear the mayor's wavering mind. He stared out the window and cursed.
"I'm not blind... Damn, why are there so many people in Hope Town?"
"I'm afraid it's not just Hope Town... Some of the unfamiliar faces are probably from other settlements."
Carefully looking at the big lizard next to him, Qin Baitian continued cautiously and tactfully.
"Sir, it's not a good idea to go against all the survivors, especially since I heard that they seem to have won over the mutant tribes in this area. Those green-skinned guys are even more terrible. Why don't we talk to them?"
Good fellow!
They even hooked up with mutants!
These people must not be left alive!
A trace of murderous intent flashed in Junji's eyes, and almost at the same time, a "whoosh" sound of breaking through the air passed over the town.
Before everyone could come to their senses, the flames of the explosion bloomed on the roof of the town's mill, and then the billowing smoke engulfed the windmill.
Screams rose and fell on the street, and there was a faint cry of a baby. The nearby residents hurriedly carried buckets to put out the fire, and the morale of the militia standing behind the low wall was shaken a little.
Artillery!
These lunatics used all the artillery!
The sound of artillery could be faintly heard here, but it was not clear where the shells were flying from. That is why everyone could not help but feel a little panic in their hearts.
"It's time."
The missionary closed his sleeves, took his eyes off his watch, and looked at the chaotic town ahead.
A subtle hint of viciousness flashed across his calm eyes, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"You are courting death."
This is the last settlement in Jinhe City that has not been incorporated into the diocese. He will not allow such a stain to remain on the map presented to the bishop.
If these ignorant mud-legged people refuse to embrace the glorious evolution -
Then die!
Seeing that the windmill mill he led people to build was blown off the roof, the garbage man who was watching the battle on the third floor was furious and shouted out the window.
"Fuck you!"
"Hit me!"
He didn't need to give any orders at all.
The religious lunatics outside the low wall had already launched the first attack, using the earth slope and tree trunks as cover, and firing their rifles in the direction of Dust Town.
The survivors in the town were not to be outdone, leaning against the one-meter-high low wall as cover, and firing their rifles on the top of the wall or through the shooting holes.
Thanks to the weapons inventory accumulated by the previous mayor and the alliance, they not only have automatic rifles such as LD-47, but also two Maxim machine guns, which are no weaker than the firepower of those religious lunatics.
The only disadvantage is probably the support firepower of the opposite side.
From time to time, one or two artillery shots were heard in the distance, accompanied by the sound of whizzing through the air, and the town was full of exploding sparks.
Although it was not very accurate and did not cause much damage to the militia near the low wall, it was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the morale of the survivors in the town.
The houses destroyed by the shells were their homes. They had built them brick by brick, and their families might live in them!
But at this moment, they had no choice but to fight.
After all, looking at the eyes of those lunatics outside, I am afraid that even if they surrendered, those people would never let them go.
Gunfire rang out inside and outside the town, and the battle became fierce as soon as it started.
Although those militants had not undergone any rigorous training, they fought unexpectedly bravely and their morale was extremely high.
Jun Lazi always felt that something was wrong.
The Torch Church had only spread to this area in the past six months. How could these "monks" who changed their jobs halfway be brainwashed like this?
As he was thinking this in his heart, he soon saw a strange scene on the battlefield in the distance.
I saw a believer of the Torch Church had his arm broken by a machine gun bullet. He should have rolled on the ground and cried in pain, but he didn't say a word. Instead, a trace of sick blush appeared on his dark face.
The pain seemed to be transformed into something else.
After discovering the abnormality of those people, Jun Laji suddenly felt a chill on his back.
"Fuck! These crazy people are taking drugs!"
A voice of persuasion came from the communication channel.
"Isn't this obvious? That Naguo! They obviously took it!"
Jun Laji was shocked.
"Fuck! Naguo has this effect?!"
Persuasion: "Nonsense! Have you forgotten the state of 'wandering'? Those charlatans have a way to make people stay conscious and crazy at the same time!"
There are similar examples in reality. For example, during World War II, the German army generally used methamphetamine as a "battlefield stimulant".
And these drug addicts seem to be even better. Not only do they take drugs, but they also mix drugs with religion, reaching a double frenzy both physically and mentally.
Even if their intestines fell out, the guys continued to fight fearlessly, just like when they first launched the server.
Jun Laji felt a little tricky.
If this trend continues, even if they can hold on, they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
Just when Jun Laji was in a dilemma, the VM on his arm suddenly flashed, and then a familiar voice came into his ears.
"What's the situation over there? Why did you start fighting?"
Lao Bai!
Reinforcements are coming!
The light of hope bloomed in the amber child's eye, and Jun Laji shouted excitedly when he heard the extremely reassuring voice.
"Good brother! Help me!"
After a burst of electric sound, the voice in the communication channel became clearer and clearer.
"Don't worry... What's the situation with those people?"
Ji Lajun said with a smile.
"Who knows! They shouted at us to join the glorious evolution right away, we refused, and then they opened fire!"
Lao Bai: "Red name?"
Ji Lajun: "Of course! They started first!"
Since it's a red name, there's nothing to hesitate about.
Almost at the same time as the voice fell, two rockets drew an arc in the air and landed on the position outside the fence gate.
The flames of the explosion rushed into the sky, instantly engulfing dozens of militants who left the bunker and moved forward.
Then the rapid sound of gunfire came from the air, and the orange-yellow tracer rushed towards the woods outside the fence gate like a torrential rain.
The situation between the attackers and the defenders was reversed instantly!
Standing by the window, Jun Lajun excitedly waved his fist-like claws.
"Haha! Nice fight!"
Qin Baitian stared blankly at the lizard punching out the window, then looked at the burning sea of fire in the distance outside the window, and the fear in his eyes gradually turned into worship.
"Big Horned Rat... Oh no, Big Horned Deer God..."
This adult is really the incarnation of the gods!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed for his previous wavering faith, and bowed his head devoutly.
He was really blind.
In order to make up for this disrespectful sin, he was willing to serve this adult for his whole life!
Completely unaware of the change in the expression of the mortal next to him, the unsatisfied Garbage King grabbed the window with his claws and jumped downstairs with a roar.
His feet stepped heavily on the brick-paved street, stepping out two pits on the flat road surface. He lowered his body and rubbed the ground with the tips of his hind paws, and the amber child's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light.
"It's hunting time!"
He is so good at collecting heads!
We can't let the brothers of the Burning Legion steal all the limelight!
Like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins, Jun Jun seized the opportunity to enter the battlefield, quickly crossed his own position, roared and smashed open the wooden fence door, and rushed towards the smoke-filled position with his claws waving.
In just a breath of time, two thugs were torn apart by him.
Suddenly seeing the whistling claws and the devil-like face, the missionary in a gray robe gradually turned from surprise on his face to fear deep in his bones.
"Devil! Devil!"
He shouted while running back desperately.
Does that big-horned deer god really exist? !
For a moment, his faith, which was clearer than diamonds, was slightly shaken.
But then again, where are the horns of the big-horned deer god?
Why didn't he see...
