B3 floor infirmary.

Chu Guang sitting on the edge of the scanning bed, through the tablet Heya handed him, saw his upgraded attribute panel.

To his surprise, didn't expect this upgrade actually added two attribute points.

"...Unbelievable, your DNA is more magical than I thought. Is Vault 404 the Renlian gene bank? How much improved DNA do you have in stock?"

Sitting on the chair opposite him, Heya has an expression of disbelief on her face, and has been chattering about her amazing discoveries since just now.

However, Chu Guang, who is completely a layman, couldn't understand it at all.

"I don't know."

"I don't know?" Heya looked at him in surprise, "The director of the previous shelter didn't tell you this when he transferred the authority. Is it the nature of the refuge?"

"The old riddler only told me that this is the last hope of human civilization."

Have you ever read this sentence on the paper? Chu Guang can’t remember. Because he often compiles Renlian’s short stories and background settings on the official website, he occasionally confuses himself as to which things have happened in this world and which ones he used to perfect the “world” "View" imagination.

But does this matter?

It is not very important.

He is a pragmatist, as long as he works well.

As for the secrets hidden in this refuge and what happened two hundred years ago, Chu Guang admitted that he was curious, but he also knew clearly that this was not the first priority for him.

Zippered his jacket, Chu Guang stood up from the scanning bed.

"I have to tell you a bad news. I learned through my authority that the concentration of spores in the air in the northern suburbs is rising, and bad things may happen in two weeks at the latest."

p>

Heya's expression gradually became serious.

"On this point, I actually happen to have something I want to report to you."

"What is it?"

"Your residents are exploring the tunnel At the time, a peculiar phenomenon was discovered..." Heya took a tablet casually, and gently swiped her index finger on the screen.

Soon, a 15-second video appeared on the tablet in Chu Guang's hands.

That is a red room.

At first, Chu Guang thought that the mucus on the wall and floor was blood and flesh, but after zooming in, he found that things were completely opposite to what he had imagined.

Layers of tiny fleshy red cilia are evenly attached to the concrete structure, and a tuft of fleshy red fruit bodies that are the size of a refrigerator are attached to the wall, gently agitating like breathing.

Players’ voices can also be heard in the video.

"Sheet...what is this special thing?"

"Maybe it's Shett of slime mold."

"Not necessarily...I It feels a bit like a trap. Look at the cilia, they look like tentacles, but they are a bit shorter."

"Where is Captain? Take a photo quickly. It must be popular on the forum!"

p>

"Taking it now!"

Chu Guang frowned slightly and looked towards Heya.

"This is?"

"A blanket formed by mutant slime mold," Heya said with a serious expression on her arms around her chest, "According to my research, The mutant slime molds on the object are all three colors of black, brown, and black-green, appearing in the form of plaque."

"However, when the thickness exceeds 2mm, it will give birth to a fourth shape. ...That's what you see now."

Chu Guang: "I mean what does it do."

Heya: "Incubate the fruit body."

p>

Chu Guang looks solemn.

"In other words, those gnawing people run out of this kind of house?"

He had heard of it.

In addition to the brood, in many places in the city there are also things called "incubators", which produce spores in batches, simulating the environment of the brood to breed fruiting bodies. Although the efficiency of producing fruit bodies is far less than that of broods, the number is quite alarming.

And this is also the reason why those slime bacteria strains can't be killed no matter how they are killed.

"It's not just the eater, including the creepers, martyrdoms, tyrants, etc. you find... It's theoretically possible to be generated through this thing."

" When I studied the composition of the fungus blanket, I found that in most cases, the fourth form of slime mold has strong self-limiting properties. Normally, after filling a room, it will stop expanding and increase the bacteria. The thickness of the blanket and the number of hatching units."

"However, under certain circumstances, this self-limitation will be lifted."

Chu Guang immediately asked.

"What does this particular situation refer to?"

"I don't know," Heya shook the head, "Maybe the environmental conditions are met, maybe when it thinks it is necessary When expanding the population, the bacterial blanket will recover some of the fruit bodies that were released before hunting, and quickly expand the area of ​​the bacterial blanket in a short time, completely engulfing the original environment, forming a larger-scale hatching room... and at this time they The color will turn dark red."

Chu Guang's Adam's apple moved.

"... Brood."

Heya nodded.

"I think so too."

The increase in the concentration of spores in the air is one of the important indicators for monitoring "waves".

What Chu Guang didn't understand, however, was why the original managers knew this.

Isn’t the mutant slime mold something that was formed after the Wasteland Era?   According to the information initially obtained by Chu Guang, this shelter has been blocked for more than a century. The mutant slime mold seems to have spread after the initial period of the Little Ice Age in the Wasteland Era.

Until his death, the original manager probably never walked out of this refuge, and this is why that person chose to pass the responsibility and the inheritance of research results to the next successor.

Or...

There were mutant slime molds in the pre-war era?   Or this mutant slime mold itself is some kind of doomsday weapon.

Not knowing what Chu Guang was thinking at the moment, Heya said with a trace of worry in her eyes, and said softly.

"The urban environment is too friendly for slime mold. Concrete has a strong thermal insulation performance. Under the condition of adequate nutrition, sewers, subways, abandoned buildings... These facilities are simply natural petri dishes. . They are probably more suitable for this city than plants, and this is probably the real cause of the wave."

"Sometimes the more I study, the more powerless... it may be like Mr. Saiwen said. , This planet may be out of help. The only thing we can do is to preserve the achievements of the previous civilization, engrave it and the story about us on the tombstone, and leave it to its next successor."

Wen is the manager of Vault 117.

It can be seen that, as a "tomb-keeper", she respects the manager who is firm and benevolent.

However, Chu Guang disagrees with her statement.

"My opinion is exactly the opposite of yours. I don't care about what happens after my death, and I don't want to think about saving this kind of problem."

Look surprised looked towards own Heya, Chu Guang said concisely.

"But since I am still alive and standing here."

"Then I have to take care of it."

……

The edge of the five ring line.

On the messy street, a sturdy wild boar is shaking its mane and burrowing out of the broken windows of the shops along the street.

The snow has melted, and young shoots have been drilled in the cracks of the concrete stone. Just as it was looking for the delicacy hidden in the soil, a bang shot suddenly came from a distance.

Shot in the head, the wild boar fell down and lay motionless on the ground.

"Pretty!"

Squatting behind the half-collapsed billboard, Li Gou shook his fist in excitement.

This is his first time out hunting.

The hunter in the family had always been his big brother Li Niu before, but Li Niu entered the factory a few months ago and he was the only one to do this job.

Not far away, Yu Hu took a deep breath, put away the shotgun in his hand, moved towards his companion urged.

"Hurry up and let the bloodletter, the meat will be sour after a while."

"Good!"

Li Gou excitedly took the dagger and walked away. From the wild boar, Yu Hu, who carried the shotgun on his back, also followed.

Since the Chu big brother drove away the Old Town Head family, the Orion families have replaced them with cheap and easy-to-use rifles.

Hunting with this thing is much easier than with bows, javelins and slings.

Especially when you encounter robber, you won't have the power to fight back.

A few months ago, it was impossible for them to have a rifle of their own.

"Hi...This wild boar is quite heavy, I am afraid it is 80 kg!"

"I will help you."

The two will The prey turned his face, and just as Li Gou was about to cut the arteries of the prey to let blood, Yu Hu suddenly frowned.

"Wait a minute."

With that, Yu Hu stretched out his hand and opened the ear of the wild boar, only to see an ulcerated scar at the base of the ear.

The scar is very small, only the size of a little finger, and it is blocked by a mane. It is really easy to overlook if you don't look carefully.

"What is this?" Li Gou asked curiously.

"The traces of the gnawing man scratched, mild infection..."

Yu Hu turned over the sparse hair behind the wild boar ears with a dagger, and then used the dagger again He opened the wild boar's mouth, carefully observed its teeth, and continued muttering.

"It's too rare."

At the slow speed of the eater, it is basically impossible to catch up with the wild boar.

Unless...

Yu Hu swallowed unconsciously.

He has a hunch.

There may be something bad about to happen.

Seeing that his cousin stopped talking, Li Gou thought it was a problem with the prey, so he said nervously.

"Then can this prey still be sold?"

"Of course it can, it's just a little superficial wound, it doesn't affect its flesh," Yu Hu urged after studying for a while. "Hurry up and work, let's go back early today." Li Gou immediately nodded, stopped talking nonsense, and began bleeding the prey.

After simply handling the prey, the two tied the wild boar to a wooden stick, each took a shoulder, and drove nearly ten kilometers to Linghu Wetland Park.

Although the slaughter stalls on Beit Street also collect prey, the price they give is far less refreshing than the blue coats in the park.

Such a big wild boar can now be sold for 100 Silver Coin at the outpost, and at the slaughter stall on Beit Street, it can be sold to seventy-eighty at best.

It is nothing to him to earn 20 or 30 Silver Coins and walk an extra 5 kilometers.

……

It is already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and it will be evening after a while.

After winter passed, the night would become more and more dangerous, and the two people on the way accelerated their pace unconsciously.

Walking along the concrete road through the woods, came to the south gate of the outpost.

When the two were about to go inside, they saw a row of guards in black coats and rifles standing to the west.

Roughly speaking, there are more than a hundred individuals.

A Zhan blue power armor is also standing there, seeming to be reviewing these recruits.

Yu Hu, who often comes here, naturally recognizes the blue iron bumps.

That is the power armor of the manager.

"Is this going to be a war?" There was a surprised expression on Li Gou's face, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

He is different from his Old Brother Li Niu. He wants to be a soldier more than to go to work in the factory.

The black coat and Arbitrator rifle are so handsome!

Recently, the guards have also issued helmets and engineer shovel. In his opinion, this is simply a man's dream.

"I don't know..." Yu Hu shook the head, muttering, "I always feel that a major event is about to happen."

Did not disturb Chu's big brother's work .

Yu Hu urged Li Gou not to look, and the two took the wild boar to the warehouse together.

It is not Zhao Shu who is on duty today, but another young man who does not know his name.

Since the settlement is made with Silver Coin this time, the process is very simple.

Check that the prey has been bleeding. After weighing the prey, the man put 7 Silver Coins and a one-hundred dollar bill into Yu Hu's hands.

"Has the price of meat gone up again?" Looking at the banknotes and coins in his hand, Yu Hu showed a surprised expression on his face.

That guy said with a smile: "It has gone up a bit. The price of a catty of wild boar in the market has now risen to 6 Silver Coin. Recently, the manager has increased the closing price and inventory of meat trading products. The upper limit, if I didn’t know how to hunt, I would like to be a hunter."

Of course, although prices have risen a lot, wages have also risen a lot. The earliest warehouseman’s daily salary was only two Silver Coins, and he had to save money if he wanted to eat meat. Now the daily salary has risen to twelve Silver Coins, and he can buy one kilogram of meat a day.

But it’s too much trouble to cook. They used to save money to buy some meat for roasting. Now they simply took the money to the market at the north gate to consume.

A Silver Coin is only a couple of steamed buns, and a cup of soy milk or corn juice can be a full meal for two steamed buns. The total cost is not much.

Compared with the wandering life before, every day here is like a Divine Immortal day.

Yu Hu and Li Gou discussed, bought some salt, cloth, soap and other daily necessities with the money in hand, and added some bullets by the way.

After purchasing these things, there are actually 10 coins left.

The two divided the money. After Yu Hu asked Li Gou to take the things back, he went to the bank and found Xiaoyu.

Compared with the little girl who was skinny like a reed stick a few months ago, the little fish nowadays not only grow taller, but also grow better. There is even a baby on the white cheeks. Fat. The big black eyes are the same as before, exactly the same as clear and lovely, just like the water of Linghu Lake.

Yu Hu always worried that her younger sister would not be able to do such an important job afterwards, because she always fries the green wheat cakes. In his impression, the people who can manage the books are old fogey like old Charlie.

But now it seems that my worries seem to be unnecessary.

Although she is not good at pancakes, she is unexpectedly suitable for counting.

Is it because the iron pan is too heavy?   Yu Hu suddenly realized this problem and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

I didn’t realize it at all...

"Brother?"

Seeing Yu Hu, Yu Xiaoyu’s eyes shined, he immediately stood behind the counter stand up.

After the New Year's party, she has not seen her Old Brother for a month.

Yu Hu laughed honestly.

"I will come to see you for my parents, how are you doing recently? No one is bullying you?"

Xiaoyu nodded hard, and shook his head like a drum. With a happy smile on his face.

"Xiaoyu has a great time! Brother Chu and everyone, they are all very good people!"

Although I was a little uncomfortable at the beginning, but Now she can finish this job very skillfully. Everyone is very kind and takes good care of her.

The only thing that makes Xiaoyu a little bit distressed is that there are always people who secretly put the change on the table and turn around and run. She has to go to Xiaoqi to check the monitoring to find out who saved the money.

Especially that Great White Bear, when saving money is always sneaky.

Is it because you are too fierce?   Although the big brother Chu told me not to care, sometimes Xiaoyu still feels a little bit sad.

Seeing the younger sister's lively and cheerful appearance, Yu Hu's face showed a relieved smile.

"That's good!"

"I am relieved to see that you are healthy, your brother."

Xiaoyu said next.

"Are your parents okay? And big brothers, I heard that they met Robber on the edge of the Fifth Ring Line the day before yesterday? No injuries, right."

Yu Hu smiled He said: "No no, don't worry, they are all in good health. And your big brother's Spear Art is amazing. Last time I saw him shooting a target, he could hit a can 100 meters away."

Xiaoyu has no idea about this distance, but still frowned said.

"No matter how powerful Spear Art is, you can't do it. The guys in the refuge are also very difficult to deal with, but sometimes they get hurt. And the second brother, you too, even if you have a gun. Don't go to places that are too dangerous."

"OK! OK!." Yu Hu scratched the back of his head.

Obviously, he was caring for the younger sister himself, and he was in turn educated by the little fellow.

Where can I go, and where I can’t go, does this old hunter know?   However, it feels good to be cared about.

At this moment, the Zhan blue power armor came over from the west gate moved towards here.

Seeing Chu Guang and Yu Hu eyes shined, he said hello.

"Chu big brother!"

"Yu Hu?" Chu Guang opened the helmet visor and looked at the young man in front of him, saying with a smile, "How did you get today?" "

"Hehe, it's not bad. I got a wild boar weighing more than 80kg and exchanged more than 100 Silver Coins." Yu Hu laughed shyly, but with pride in his eyes.

"Yes!" Chu Guang nodded approvingly, smiling and jokingly said, "It seems that there is roast wild pork on the barbecue stall today."

Yu Hu followed laughed, but at this moment, suddenly remembered something, so he said immediately.

"By the way, Chu big brother."

Chu Guang: "What's wrong?"

Yu Hu hesitated for a while, then continued. "I have to tell you something. When I was hunting today, I felt that the atmosphere inside the Fifth Ring Road was a bit unusual."

Chu Guang moved in his heart and asked.

"Did you find anything?"

Yu Hu nodded.

"The alien species have become more dangerous recently than before. The wild boar I hit today was scratched by the carnivores... It was almost impossible before leaving it."

Chu Guang has a looked thoughtful expression on his face.

"This is indeed a problem, I have also noticed here. Recently, the gnaws and crawlers in the subway are obviously more aggressive than before..."

Listen During the conversation between the Old Brother and the Chu big brother, Xiaoyu's eyes were a little worried and couldn't hold back whispered.

"Brother, why don't you change to a safer job..."

"It's okay, I'm not going out hunting at night," I saw the younger sister's worries , Yu Hu smiled and said, "Those who eat eater go out at night, and hide in the house during the day."

Chu Guang suddenly opened the mouth and said.

"That's hard to say."

Seeing Yu Hu looked over in surprise, Chu Guang continued.

"According to the speculation of experts in our shelter, a wave may break out in the near future. Even if it is daytime, I am afraid it will not be very safe."

The wave? !   Yu Hu's face changed slightly.

"The wave...... Isn't that happening in the city center?"

Chu Guang shook the head.

"This statement is not accurate. As long as the conditions are met, the wave may happen anywhere."

Yu Hu swallowed.

If you change someone to say this to him, he will definitely treat that person as a fool.

There is a boulder city on the edge of the third ring line, and there is no brood outside the third ring line. Those who eat are all rushing to crowded places. The northern suburbs are so sparsely populated, how could a wave break out? ?

But this sentence was said by the Chu big brother.

In his impression, the big brother Chu would never make jokes on such serious things.

"By the way, Yu Hu, how did you think about the things I told you before?"

Yu Hu was stunned.

"What's the matter?"

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"Wait for spring, come over and help me."

"Yes, of course I do!" When I heard that this was the case, Yu Hu repeatedly nodded and touched sorry. I touched the back of my head, "But I will hunt...I am afraid I can't help you much."

"Why?" Chu Guang laughed said, "An experienced hunter and guide. It's what we need now."

After a pause, Chu Guang looked at Yu Hu seriously and continued.

"The threat of the wave is looming. I plan to set up a Hunter Union at the outpost to unite the nearby hunters and the residents of the shelters with hunting innate talents and move them along the edge of the Fifth Ring Line into the city. Investigate."

"I plan to let you be the first president of this union!"

Yu Hu was stunned, and for a moment he was a little not knowing what to do.

"Let me be the president? But I have never been—"

"No one is born, I am very optimistic about your potential," Chu Guang slightly smiled, giving He gave him an encouraging look, "Don't worry, I will tell you what to do and what to do in specific. You only need to answer me in one sentence, yes or no."

Compared to others, Yu Hu is most familiar with the terrain of the northern suburbs. He is not only an experienced hunter, but also a reliable guide.

Although this young man does not look very smart, he is not stupid. Chu Guang is still very confident in his eyesight.

Especially the most important thing is that whether it is the Orion in Beit Street or the Orion in other areas in this area, he is familiar with him, and the players are not unfamiliar with him.

It couldn't be more suitable for him to serve as this functional NPC!   Old Brother was still hesitating, Xiaoyu gently pulled off his sleeve, Nono said.

"Brother, please agree. Working here is definitely safer than going out hunting. My parents will definitely be very happy."

Yu Hu touched the back of his head. Whispered.

"You little girl, you just went out from home for a few days, and then you started directing your brother to do things."

Xiaoyu said aggrievedly.

"I'm not worried about you... and Chu big brother thinks that you can do it well, it must be fine."

Reached out and rubbed the younger sister’s small head, Yu Hu looked up towards Chu Guang with a smile on his face, and said seriously.

"Since you are willing to trust me and give me such an important job, I will do my best!"

Chu Guang looked at him approvingly, nodded.

"Just waiting for your words!"

……

In the evening, Yu Hu went back to Beit Street, planning to make this happen Speak to my father, mother and big brother, and come back tomorrow morning.

Chu Guang asked him not to worry, and settle the family affairs first, and report to him within two days.

Night is gradually falling.

Over there in Boulder City.

The tail after a full meal is touching the slightly raised belly, coming out of the restaurant with a full burp.

"Hicc~ Si, there are a lot of delicious foods here."

"Emmm...it's not delicious, I think it's still delicious at the snack street at the north gate." One point," Sisi gave her a slanted look, "It's better to pay attention to his own image."

The tail said nonchalantly.

"What does it matter? Is there a problem with awakened's appetite? And anyway, in the game, even if you gain a little weight, you only need to die once."

"Well...Although the resurrection coin has become cheaper, I didn't expect you to use it in this kind of place."

The two ate a large bowl of noodles each, which cost 4 A bargaining chip.

Objective evaluation, not as good as the little player named Zhang Hai at the North Gate.

The two of them all came to the conclusion that the people of Boulder City are living in the heat of water, and there are no seasonings in the noodles except salt and vinegar!   What about peppers?   Does ramen without chili still have a soul?

Sisi unfolded the note in her hand, which wrote what she planned to investigate in her plan.

Now that more than 20 items have been completed, only a few are left.

"The next stop is the pub."

"The pub!" The eyes of the tail lit up immediately, "Oh, there must be a lot of mercenaries there, right?"

"Theoretically," Sisi glanced around, "But...this street seems to be full of shops, there are no signs that look like pubs."

Elder Brother Fang didn't write it in his strategy.

I actually missed this kind of key information, unlike the old man’s style...

The tail said enthusiastically.

"It's okay! Let's explore it!"

"Well, I planned to do that too."

The two walked on the street for a while, moved towards the direction of the inner city.

Soon a big sign came into the eyes of the two of them.

On the signboard, there was a picture of a girl with a graceful figure, her back leaning against a wine barrel, holding a beer glass in her hand, and colorful neon gleaming around her .

Although this style of painting is a bit wild, it is undoubtedly wine.

"Sin! I found it!"

"emmm...I think this should not be the kind of tavern we were looking for."

"What does it matter? Since the game production team made it out, it must have its meaning!"

"Huh? You make sense to say so."

To be honest, Sisi was also curious as to how real this game is.

Looking at the expectant tail on her face, she made an expression of "I really can't help you", and then walked over with the tail.

The security guard standing at the door gave them a surprised look, but didn't say anything. After receiving a ticket for one person and two chips, they let them go.

The lights are shaking in the pub, and the music is loud, full of wild feeling.

The two people who have never been to a bar feel incompatible with the atmosphere here.

Even the most moving tail feels a little uncomfortable.

"Sir, if you don't understand, just ask, how should I pretend to be a regular visit when I go to a bar for the first time."

"I think it might be natural to treat this as a cafeteria. "

The tail looked at Sisi in surprise.

"Hey! Does Sisi often go to such a great place?"

Sisi: "Do you think this is possible for someone who plays games every night?"

It's not like the tavern that adventurers often go to in RPG.

It's a bit like a bar in reality.

After finding a less conspicuous position on the bar, the two sat in the corner low-key.

Soon the bartender brought two glasses of beer mixed with water. Sisi said thank you politely in joint words, smelled the cup, did not drink, but looked at the surrounding environment.

The lights outside the dance floor are very dim, people around you can't see clearly, and no one pays attention to them.

As Sisi was wondering where to start his investigation, the music in the tavern suddenly changed.

A host walked to the stage and babbled a few words with the microphone, and then a dancer dressed in a forward-looking dress walked onto the stage.

There was a cheering of excitement around.

The sound of the weather even overwhelmed the live music!   The dancer standing on the stage gave a charming look at the audience below, and started her performance.

However, it is not the dance itself that is of concern.

It's the clothes on her body.

Sisi was taken aback for a moment, with a surprised expression on his face.

It’s not Fujito’s...

Before she could say something, the tail beside her jumped up excitedly as if she had discovered a new continent. She pointed to the stage excitedly.

"I'm giao! Si, look!"

"Isn't that the work of Teng Teng?"

Si Si's face showed a subtle expression Expression, she seemed to have foreseen what would happen in the next few hours.

"Um...I saw it."

"It's amazing."
