This Game Is Too Realistic

Chapter 303 This is obviously not something humans do (1/2)

If he hadn't been sure that he had taken the wrong map, Wu Lun would have almost thought that he was on the wrong path.

He was silent for a while and said in an uncertain tone.

"...This is Xizhou?"

"Probably." Dimit nodded, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance, "The southern suburbs of Xizhou City should have been called Qingshi County before the war."

The county town is surrounded by mountains on the east and west sides and is located under the ridge of the mountain. It is surrounded by lush vegetation and trees.

There are no high-rise buildings here, only gardens, townhouses and villas. It can be seen that people who lived here before the war were very pursuing the quality of life.

There is a highway and a maglev station to the east, connecting Xizhou and Qingquan. However, these infrastructures have long been turned into a pile of concrete garbage and debris by wild vegetation.

In the era of convenient transportation and prosperity, this was just an inconspicuous small county town, but now it has become the southern gate of Xizhou.

It is obvious that the Suga clan stationed in Xizhou is also aware of this. If they can't deal with their neighbors to the south, they will at least have to grind their own front teeth.

Looking through the telescope, Wu Lun noticed that there were quite a few raiders stationed here, at least one or two thousand-man teams.

Not only that, they also reinforced the position.

Semi-collapsed row houses and villas were sealed with wood and aluminum panels. Concrete buildings with more than three floors were transformed into bunkers and blockhouses. The streets were filled with concrete stones and wooden piles to form barricades. Everywhere The windows seemed to be hiding sentries, either overtly or covertly.

The entire town has been transformed into a fortress.

I didn't expect that this group of rabble could do this.

Dimit couldn't help but glance at them.

"How do we contact them?"

"Use this."

Wu Lunyan answered briefly and concisely, took out the signal gun and fired a shot into the sky.

A red flare went up.

Before long, dozens of figures appeared in front of them.

These people were wearing animal skin suits, and many were even bare-chested, looking uncivilized. However, in their hands, without exception, they held civilized weapons - automatic or bolt-action rifles.

Watching this group of soldiers wearing jet-black exoskeletons warily, the leader, the tenth captain, stared at Wu Lun who was walking at the front, and asked cautiously.

"Who are you?"

Looking at him through the visor of his helmet, Wu Lun took out the iron plate proving his identity, shook it, and answered expressionlessly.

"torch."

torch?

There was a commotion among the marauders following the ten-capion captain, with expressions of surprise on their faces and whispers to each other.

The captain's face was also full of surprise, but it soon turned into ecstasy.

"Please come with me!"

After the two groups of people met, the group continued on the road.

The tenth captain led the way, and soon led Uulun, Dimit and his party through the checkpoint at the entrance of the county town.

After entering this fortress, Dimit immediately retracted his previous evaluation of these "allies".

The sanitary conditions here are extremely poor, it's like a garbage dump.

The street was filled with the stench of rotting flesh, corpses and excrement were dumped randomly on the street, and fist-sized rats shuttled freely through the street, as if they considered this place their home.

Dimit lowered his voice and whispered in the communication channel.

"There may be a plague outbreak here."

Wu Lun's eyes wandered down the street and he replied softly.

"This is a matter of course."

Sensing Wu Lun's gaze lingering in the corner, the ten-capion leader who was leading the way chuckled.

"Don't worry, it's just a few rats... we'll be there soon."

The headquarters of the Ya clan is located in the Qingshi Department Store Center on the west side of the county. The five-story cylindrical building looks outstanding in the entire county.

In terms of concealment alone, it is definitely not an idea to use this place as a headquarters. The exterior walls of this building use a large number of steel structures, and there are also two floors of underground business areas and a garage that is directly connected to the surface. From the perspective of defense, From a personal perspective, this is the most suitable choice.

On the first floor of the Department Store, Ulen and Dimit met the highest commander here, Lion Tooth.

"Welcome! Friends who have come from afar! I am Lion Tooth, the Thousand Commander of the Ya clan. You can regard this place as your own home."

Lion Tooth came up to him with an overjoyed look on his face. He opened his arms and wanted to hug his ally. When he saw that the other party was indifferent, he changed the conversation to a handshake.

Wu Lun reached out and shook his hand.

"Wulun, Lord Holy Son and Apostle."

"I wish the old man Shengzi good health, please ask him for me..." Sensing a hint of evil in the eyes of the man in front of him, Shiya quickly stopped his lame greeting, coughed lightly and quickly ended the topic, "Then Lord Apostle, why do you come all the way here?"

He didn't care about his offense. Now is not the time to make extraneous matters, Wu Lun said concisely and concisely.

"Qingquan's blue jacket in the northern suburbs took away our things. I need you to help us get them back."

"Took... your stuff? From the Death Coast? That's really far away." Lion Ya looked at him confused and continued, "Can I ask what it is?"

"A box, and a set of power armor. We need the former, and as for the latter, you take it."

Powered armor!

Greed flashed in Lion Tooth's eyes for a moment, but he soon calmed down.

"They have power armor?"

"Yes." Seeing the hesitation in the predator's eyes, Wu Lun continued, "Don't worry, that set of power armor has no shield, which means it is a living target with stronger defense. If it appears on the battlefield, Come on, leave it to us to deal with it.”

After hearing this, Shi Ya finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a comfortable smile on his face.

"That's too silly, my friend. Although we used the equipment you provided to catch a few monsters and brown bears, when it comes to power armor... I'm really not sure."

"It's not the power armor you have to worry about, it's the fact that these blue jackets have planes."

"airplane?!"

Those blue coats have planes? !

Did Boulder sell the plane to them?

Shi Ya's eyes were full of surprise, and his face was full of disbelief.

impossible……

That thing is the same as power armor, but any thing inherited from before the war is a treasure in any survivor colony.

What's more, the people of Boulder City took over the equipment from the post-war Construction Committee.

"That's right." Looking at the surprised look on the lion's teeth, Wu Lun almost squeezed out the last half of the sentence through his teeth, "Although it is just a ridiculous propeller plane, there are two machine guns on it after all. You are the most stupid. Be careful."

Lion Tooth looked confused.

He didn't know what a propeller plane was, but if these people weren't joking, the group of blue coats in the northern suburbs of Qingquan might be more troublesome than he imagined.

"Thank you for reminding me. I will discuss countermeasures with my staff officer later...how to strengthen our defensive position."

"Reinforce the defensive position? How do you want to reinforce it? The people here are almost turning into turtle shells." Dimitar, who was standing aside, looked at him in surprise, "Are you still planning to continue going south?"

"We thought that this piece of fat was on our lips, but we didn't expect that the situation in Xizhou would be so difficult."

With a helpless expression on his face, Shiya continued.

"The survivors here are not our opponents, but they are cunning enough to hide in the subway and rely on their familiarity with the terrain to fight guerrillas with us. In addition, there has been a plague outbreak here recently. Those rats are gnawing everywhere like crazy. We even have to lock our shoes in the cupboard when we sleep now... we don’t have any extra energy to continue going south.”

Wu Lun's face looked a little ugly.

"How long will it take you to sort out these troubles?"

Lion Tooth said in an uncertain tone.

"It should be okay before this winter."

"It's too long!" Wu Lun shook his head, "We can't wait so long! Those blue coats are absorbing nearby refugees. When they establish a foothold in the local area, it will become more and more difficult to deal with! Concentrate all your efforts now Eliminating them is your only chance, you can't wait until winter."

A trace of displeasure appeared on Lion Tooth's face.

After all, they are just allies, not superiors and subordinates. The reason why I respect them so much is because the missionaries of the Torch Church can control the alien species, and the charging monsters, brown bears and even death claws have helped them solve many difficult opponents.

In exchange, the Bonechewer tribe allowed them to preach in their own territory, and raiders spread their faith in the Valley Province and surrounding areas.

But this does not mean that I have to obey their orders.

Can’t wait until winter?

Joke.

What do a group of refugees have to fear?

He admitted that the fighting power of the group of blue-coated men was indeed not weak, but their numbers were limited after all.

In just a few months, the raiders who came to join them had doubled the size of the Ya clan.

In autumn, tens of thousands of their troops marched together, and one person could drown those blue gophers with just a spit of spit!

"We have our own plan. I can't take my people to death just because you want to find a broken box. Winter has just passed a few months ago, and their wheat has only grown a handful of green seedlings. We are killing them now. What did you eat? Eat grass?"

"What's more, the Black Snake has fallen into their hands. I can't deal with those people alone. If you are anxious, just go to our leader. Lord Jinya is in the Xizhou District, and I am stationed here. He is the only one who has the right to command me!"

Negotiations failed.

Lion Tooth did not hesitate to reject the suggestion from the apostles of the Torch Church to go south immediately. He would continue to strengthen the defenses here and work with his staff to build the entire county into an impregnable city.

But the commander also said that if he received the order from the leader, he would send a team of 100 people to support them.

A team of 100 people...

Wu Lun just smiled after hearing this suggestion.

What can a hundred savages do?

These people are all cannon fodder when they arrive on the battlefield, and they don't seem to have this awareness at all.

However, after learning that these people were holding back because of the leader's orders, Wu Lun knew that he might have to meet their leader to convince them to take action.

After coming out of the department store center, Dimitre glanced at his teammates.

"Are we in the area now?"

"Well," Wu Lun nodded, and made a vague stroke with his index finger in the air, "It's only about thirty kilometers from here to Xizhou. We're going along the corridor under the ridge... If we hurry up, we should be able to do it before tomorrow evening. arrive."

He raised his foot and trampled to death a mouse that sneaked up to his feet. Wu Lun rubbed the sole of his shoe in disgust and huddled together with a frown.

These damn mice...

Where did it come from?

Where did these rats come from?

Even if you force someone to do something difficult, you will be confused.

He admitted that he may have been a slight catalyst, but that was about it.

Logically speaking, rats and cockroaches have always been abundant in the wasteland, and any corner harboring dirt and evil can become a breeding ground for them.

Those corpses with no one to deal with them and the insufficient number of natural enemies are the root cause of the plague.

Compared to mutated cockroaches, mammals like rats are slightly inferior in reproductive capacity, but they have the upper hand in terms of IQ and combat effectiveness, and they soon became the real people of Xizhou.

They move in groups and bite everything they encounter, whether on the surface or underground. The predators and survivors have nothing to do with them.

It's not that I have tried to restrain my subordinates and improve the discipline of the team, but I found that the method I thought was totally unworkable.

First of all, the language is different.

Secondly, rats are cunning by nature and have no loyalty at all.

Even those younger brothers who were conquered by him did not always obey his orders, and it was common for them to obey the orders of others.

The wood-burning generator whirred and whirred, and the lint next to it had been repaired several times.

These damn rats always gnaw on the ends of wires while he sleeps. They electrocute a few of them without learning a lesson. They can't be damaged by chewing on the radio and the dormant warehouse, otherwise it would be called blood loss.

The most loyal ones are the rats.

After obtaining enough food and living space under the forcible "artificial intervention", the rats lined up to reproduce and frantically expanded the size of the population.

It's just that their affectionate eyes make it a bit scary to force someone to do something difficult.

Thank God!

Fortunately it doesn't have that stuff.

This is the first time he has given birth, so it’s a good idea not to have a baby...

"Respected, respected administrator... The plague in Xizhou is really not my fault!"

A lair under the ruins.

The strong person standing next to the radio station shivered nervously after hearing the manager's question.

Although he has been reporting the situation in Xizhou from behind, whether on the forum or on the phone, he has selectively concealed the situation of the plague.

He is not afraid of other NPCs. Managers are managers after all.

This guy has the GM's permission on the settings and can take physical punishment for illegal gaming behavior.

Who the hell is not panicking?

And who knows what kind of punishment logic AI has.

Aguang has emphasized to them more than once on the forum that there are many problems with the servo in the closed beta stage. If the GM cancels the closed beta qualification, there is no manual appeal and unblocking channel. The reclaimed closed beta qualification will be inherited by the player.

A serious voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I don't mean to blame you, I just hope you will tell the truth about the situation there."

It's hard for a strong person to know that he couldn't hide it anymore after all. After hesitating for a while, he finally chose to be honest and tell everything he had concealed before.

After listening to the description that was difficult for a strong person to describe vividly, Chu Guang felt dumbfounded for a while.

This guy is really a genius, he can even think of artificial breeding.

No, it should be said that he is a rat.

After all, it was not done by humans.

"...Mr. Manager?" Seeing that there was no voice on the other end of the phone, I felt even more uneasy about forcing someone to do something difficult.

"...Ahem, it's nothing. I'm just a little surprised. Let me think for a while."

Time passed by second by second.

Every second seems like a year to someone trying to do something difficult.

Finally, the manager on the other end of the phone spoke again.

"...You did a good job. The plague delayed the Ya clan's march south and bought us precious time for development. On the contrary, you really failed to restrain your men. The indiscriminate plague affected the local survivors. The resistance movement had a serious impact.”

The strong man said with a frustrated look.

"You really can't blame me. I tried to restrain them, and they all listened to me on the surface... They did one thing in front of me and another behind their backs."

"I know, so I don't blame you, and I can't commend you publicly," Chu Guang paused, and continued, "Our alliance will remember your contribution, and we will not recognize your hard work. We'll reward you in other ways, you know what I mean?"

Huh.

It scared me to death.

That's it.

The strong man breathed a sigh of relief.

It doesn't matter if he expresses praise or not, since he can't understand what the NPC is saying anyway, it won't affect the mission rewards, nor will it affect his pretentiousness on the forum.

And it sounds like he triggered a hidden mission?

The strong man didn't feel disappointed at all. Instead, he became excited and swore in an excited voice.

"Don't worry, dear manager, I will keep secret about the love I have done! There must be shadows under the light. I am willing to be the blade under your cloak! Clear away all the obstacles that stand in our way for you. !”

Chu Guang's embarrassed toes were digging through the ground.

In order to take care of the players' gaming experience, he finally held back, cooperated with this guy's performance, and finished the plot seriously.

"... I'm glad you think so. From now on, I need you to find out the intelligence on our way forward, and mark the opponent's ammunition depot, firepower point, command post, garrison post, as well as secret passages and trenches on the map as much as possible. Cooperate with our ground forces and air forces to eliminate the looters entrenched in the local area."

"Can these things be done?"

The strong man said excitedly: "Don't worry, just give it to me! I can still do this little thing!"

"Well, I'm looking forward to your good news!" After saying this, Chu Guang hurriedly hung up the phone.

Communication ends.

The strong man breathed a sigh of relief, and his originally frowning face was filled with happiness.

It’s up!

It’s definitely gone up!

Just because of the tone of the manager’s last few words, the favorability level has definitely increased!

The rat boys surrounding him were chirping for a while. Although they didn't know what the boss was excited about, his fat belly must be full of bad water.

Turning around to face his younger brothers, he couldn't wait to show off and stood up straight, shouting at the top of his voice.

"Young men, call all your brothers."

"Follow your Grandpa Mouse to have sex!"

Although mice cannot speak, they have their own way to overcome the difficulties of others.

Having lived with mice for so long, he has long understood their living habits and the way they usually exchange information.

These cunning rats may not strictly follow his orders and die, but there is no problem in helping him detect the enemy's situation.

A dangerous place means there are many people, and a place with a lot of metal means weapons or ammunition may be stored. After confirming the approximate location, he will smell the smell and go over to take a look in person.

Even if you don't find valuable information every time, you will gain something at least six times out of ten.

Once he discovers a high-value target, he will not do anything immediately. Instead, he will mark it on the map and then quietly withdraw.

At this time, alerting the enemy will only make the enemy alert.

When the war begins, the alliance's aircraft and artillery will give these predators a big surprise.

Unaware of the emotions under his feet, Shiya was further consolidating the position in Qingshi County with the cooperation of his staff officer Bernie.

They hid fixed machine guns on the roof of the building, and used water tanks, distribution boxes, ventilation ducts and other facilities as bunkers. They also installed high-power searchlights on some roofs to search nearby airspace and mountainous areas at night.

Of course these ideas were not thought up by Shiya himself.

There are legionary staff officers in his team.

Although Lion Tooth didn't think those blue coats would dare to come over and cause trouble for him, the tragic death of Black Snake made him completely learn a lesson.

Even if there was only a 1% possibility, he would nip it in its infancy!

Early April.

A full week has passed since the high-level meeting of the Northern Expedition Plan.

Dawn City is like a running water pump, frantically absorbing resources from all directions along the opened trade routes.

Steel and aluminum are the major sources of demand.

Not only is it necessary to manufacture light and heavy equipment, but the railway under construction is also a black hole devouring resources, and it is almost impossible to see the bottom.

A steel plant can no longer meet the development needs of the alliance. In order to meet the growing steel demand in the industrial zone, not only the No. 81 Steel Plant opened a factory, Chu Guang also signed an administrative document, instructing the logistics department to establish the Union No. 1 Steel Works.

This is also the first steel plant in the alliance to be operated by NPC and collectively controlled by the alliance.

It is different from Factory No. 81, which produces military equipment.

The steel produced by the First Steel Plant is supplied to infrastructure construction. Part of its equipment is manufactured by machine tools and part is purchased from Boulder City. The technical personnel include active professional players and unemployed engineers hired from Boulder City. .

As for the A3 type aviation aluminum produced by Bachi Aluminum Factory, most of it is supplied to the "e-mule" production line, and the remaining production capacity is basically taken up by the East Factory, which is used to produce stronger KV- 1 Improved exoskeleton.

Before the war begins, Chu Guang needs enough trucks to deliver supplies and troops to the front line, and the KV-1 exoskeleton to ensure the players' mobility and combat capabilities.

Before the end of the month, the number of players can reach 2,500+, and there are only about 1,500 professional combat players who are actually on the front line.

The disadvantage in numbers can only be made up for by mobility and firepower.

In addition to steel and aluminum, the second most demanded resources in the alliance are copper and sulfur.

If copper is used to make bullets and lay electrical grids, I won’t say much about that.

Artillery shells can be made of 㳎 steel shells, but bullets are better made of 㳎 copper, which are easier to preserve and have excellent shooting performance. Compared with steel-cased ammunition, they can effectively reduce the jamming rate and rifling wear.

As for power, it is even more critical. Whether it is an exoskeleton, a truck, or a player's save point, they all need the support of the power system.

The purpose of sulfur is to produce sulfur acid.

This thing is related to more than just one production line. From steel plants to chemical plants, there are few industrial chains that can do without this thing.

With the start of the war machine, the production capacity of the industrial zone continues to expand, and the demand for almost all resources is rising sharply.

At this moment, Charlie, the president of the Hongshang Trade Union, brought bad news to Chu Guang...

"Although you may have noticed something from the inventory data, I still have to tell you just in case. Our industrial scale is expanding faster than expected. The copper mines and sulfur produced in the surrounding survivor settlements are The mine has been bought by us and the price has increased.”

The reception room of the base.

After listening to Old Charlie's report, Chu Guang thought for a moment and raised his head.

"How much has it increased?"

"The price of copper in Honghe Town has increased by 20%, and the price of sulfur has increased by at least 30%. This is the worst data."

Chu Guang nodded thoughtfully.

"It's about the same as what I know."

Players discussed this item in the forum last night. Not only copper ore and sulfur ore, but also some rare metals are simply out of stock.

Chu Guang had actually expected this situation before.

The tickets issued by the Honghe Town Mine are essentially a kind of futures. This trading model is not only to facilitate their purchase of goods from other survivors, but also to facilitate their own coordination of the mine's production capacity.

In other words, they will not produce a bunch of unavailable ore and store it in inventory. Instead, they will determine the production of the next quarter based on the coupons issued in the previous quarter.

If someone suddenly needs a large amount of spot goods, it is natural for the price to rise.

But...

The speed of this price increase is really sudden.

The Northern Expedition has only been launched for a week. No matter how fast the demand grows, Chu Guang doesn't believe that the warehouse in Honghe Town doesn't even have this little reserve.

Chu Guang had reason to suspect that someone might have guessed something through some information and was trying to hoard goods with him.

Old Charlie had obviously guessed how he might reply to Zi'er, and said cryptically.

"Our resources are controlled by people, and the impact of this problem will become more and more obvious. Either we can open up more business routes and reduce our dependence on a single raw material origin, or we can have our own raw material origin and solve part of the resource needs by ourselves. ”

"I think so too. In fact, one of the purposes of this Northern Expedition is to solve the problem of raw materials."

Chu Guang nodded and looked at the map on the wall.

"The scientific research team of the alliance has investigated the data of Qingshi County. The Qingshi Geopark in the mountainous area to the west was formerly the mining area of ​​Qingshi Mining Company. The porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit beneath it is rich in reserves, estimated to be at least one million tons."

Charlie had a surprised expression on his face.

"It's not been mined there?"

"It has been mined, but only a small part of it has been mined. According to data, the mine was shut down due to cost issues in the early prosperity period, and was later transformed into a geological park, with an internship base and a geological institute next to it. ”

With a faint smile, Chu Guang continued.

"In fact, it is not just a copper-molybdenum deposit. According to the analysis of our scientific expedition team, there are many undeveloped resources that have been explored in the surrounding area. As long as we lay down Xizhou, the resource problem will naturally be solved."

"But what's the current problem? Even if we take over Qingshi County, mining will still take time—"

As soon as he said these words, a hint of understanding suddenly appeared in old Charlie's eyes.

"so it is……"

"I probably understand what you mean."
