This Game Is Too Realistic

Next to the warehouse.

The survivors holding the handbags looked at me and I looked at you, exchanging surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.

"Join a new alliance?"

"...Are they serious?"

"The mayor's voice doesn't sound like he's drunk."

"Shh... don't say this nonsense, be careful of those with guns overhearing you."

No one hates this decision.

I just can't believe it.

The new alliance is actually willing to take in trash pickers like them?

This sounds too magical!

After thinking about it, they realized that there was nothing in Xizhou City worth those people's curiosity.

Apart from a concrete ruin like a tomb, there is only a Xizhou Lake that is often flooded. The lake water not only turned the entire east bank into a swamp, but also poured into low-lying urban areas, making it difficult to find land for farming.

As for the trade value, it is almost zero.

Generally speaking, merchants would not come here at all. There are only two plain belts in the north and south of the valley province, with either mountains or rivers in the middle. Even if there are no plunderers, few people will come here. Until now, they had lived a life of almost isolation from the outside world.

"Do you think this is the mayor drawing cakes for us?" A thin, middle-aged man whispered in a low voice.

"...It's very possible," the shorter old man swallowed, "Anyway, if I were the leader of the new alliance, I would definitely not recruit a group of beggars into my home."

Although what Wu Chengyi said on the radio was serious, almost no survivors believed what he said.

However, unlike those survivors, the soldiers of the squadron knew very well that their leader never joked.

Especially on such a serious issue.

"So...we are considered New Alliance soldiers from now on?"

At the entrance of the settlement, the soldiers on duty listened to the broadcast from beginning to end, with strange expressions on their faces.

His name is Liao Feng. Before joining the strike team, he came from a survivor colony called Good Weather Cooperative.

When the Bone Chewing Tribe attacked Xizhou City, they were the first to fall. Only less than fifty people in the village of thousands of people escaped alive.

He instinctively distrusts those from the outside world. Whether it's a bone-chewing tribe, a predator, or some other alliance.

"...Probably?" The man with a hunting bow on his back also answered in an uncertain tone after listening to the broadcast.

His name is Xie Gong, and like Liao Feng, he is a member of the resistance organization in Xizhou City, but he is not from the Good Weather Cooperative, but from other survivor settlements.

Just a few minutes ago, Wu Chengyi seemed to have mentioned something about the strike force on the radio.

The new alliance will then send officers to train them and be provided with new equipment.

Their identity will also be officially changed from a miscellaneous unit to the third corps of the New Alliance, and they will participate in the final decisive battle with the Bone-Chewing Tribe...

"Do you think joining that alliance is really a good thing?" Liao Feng glanced at him and said.

Hunter Bow was silent for a while, shook his head and said.

"I don't know, but I think...it won't be a bad thing."

No matter how bad it is, how bad can it be?

Not to mention weapons and equipment, they are so poor that they can't even renew their nutritional ointments.

In the past, the soldiers in the guerrilla group could only eat potato chips, green wheat porridge, and occasionally two bites of meat. Now everyone is uniformly rationed nutritious ointment.

The logistics situation is evident.

At this time, a man wearing hyena boots and a beard came over.

Seeing [his] immediate boss, the two immediately stopped talking.

"I need someone to take our allies around here." Wang Sijie stopped at the entrance of the settlement and looked around at the people standing guard. "Is there anyone willing to come out?"

Everyone looked at each other.

No one moved.

It can be said that they know nothing about this ally that suddenly appeared. They neither know the nature of those people nor their taboos.

If you can fight with those plunderers in the city, there is no doubt that those people are ruthless people.

What if you offend someone?

No one wants to be the one who stands out.

Seeing that no one came out, Wang Sijie was about to call the names.

At this time, Hunting Bow stood up.

"I'll do it."

Liao Feng, who was standing aside, glanced at him in surprise. He didn't expect that this guy was so courageous that he took the initiative to take on this thankless job.

Wang Sijie nodded with satisfaction and made a gesture.

"Follow me."

…

It's a relatively clean single room.

Lao Bai, who was lying flat on the bed, opened his eyes without warning, turned over and sat up from the bed.

It's six o'clock in the evening.

After confirming the current time through the VM, Lao Bai was about to join his teammates when he suddenly found a long series of small windows on the screen.

[Task 1: Inspect Hope Town, bring VM and camera equipment to complete the full map search. 】

[Task 2 (branch): Write a 200-word report to elaborate on the situation of local survivors from multiple aspects such as economy, politics, governance, education, etc. 】

[Task 3 (side line): Looking for NPCs with special talents or special identities]

[Task 4 (side line):...]

The mission rewards are very generous, not only giving silver coins and contribution points, but also giving regional reputation on the new map.

Looking at the long list of tasks on the VM, Lao Bai's face was full of confusion, but he couldn't help but feel a little weird.

Especially the first task.

Good guy, even the map introduction is left to the players to write.

Shouldn't this kind of thing be a planning job?

This is too lazy!

But this task is actually not bad. Fang Chang loves this thing the most, so he should be happy to take over this job.

As for the third one...

Lao Bai stared at the mission interface for a long time without figuring out any clues, and finally gave up and shook his head.

"Forget it...don't care."

There are only more than 5,000 people in this survivor colony.

Anyway, if you trigger more conversations, you might be able to find clues.

After briefly sorting out his equipment, Lao Bai opened the door, walked through the narrow corridor, and headed to the lobby of the rest area to join his teammates.

The environment here is very crude and the air condition is very bad, but even so, this is the room with the best conditions in Hope Town.

The vast majority of survivors were crowded into shops and even aisles of underground commercial complexes, separated by Japanese curtains, or simply crowded together.

Let alone a private room, there isn't even a decent bed.

Since following the little boy yesterday morning and discovering the hiding place of the survivors in Xizhou City, a member of the Niu Ma Team has stayed here.

Compared to sleeping in the ruins, it is undoubtedly safer to go offline here, at least there is no need to arrange for people to take turns to go online to "guard the corpse".

Awed by the strength of the new alliance, the survivors of these resistance organizations treated them with respect and even caution.

Unless predators are looking for this place, there is no need to worry about safety issues if you log off here.

When Lao Bai came to the lobby of the rest area, Fang Chang, Ye Shi and Kuang Feng had already been here for a while.

Looking around, Lao Bai found that not only his good brother was here, but two strange NPCs were also standing here.

"...I, Wang Sijie, are the captain of the Xizhou City resistance organization's strike team. Next to me is Hunter Bow, a soldier under my command. During your stay in Hope Town, he will serve as your guide." He looked at him. The four of them were all present. Wang Sijie briefly introduced himself and introduced the soldiers from the squadron standing beside him to everyone.

When the officer introduced himself, the man with a bow on his back immediately answered.

"Welcome, friends from Dawn City... If you encounter any problems here, you can come to me and I will do my best to help you solve them."

Fang Chang said with a smile.

"No need to be so polite, just show us around."

"I have some missions later, so I won't disturb you all." After patting the hunter on the shoulder, Wang Sijie said, "I'll give it to you," and then turned and left the hall.

Watching the squad leader leave, Ye Shi whispered.

"I thought they would arrange for a young lady to be our guide."

Guang Feng glanced sideways at him.

"After a rational analysis, in this kind of survivor colony with backward living standards, even if a young lady is arranged for you, the possibility of matching your aesthetics is about the same as -"

Ye Shi immediately covered his mouth.

"Okay, I don't want to hear your nonsense."

Kuangfeng: "..."

Hunter Bow looked at the people whispering with a blank expression, not understanding what they were saying.

Fortunately, the chief had specifically discussed the language issue with him before, and his reaction was quite calm and he spoke in a serious tone.

"I'll show you around here... just come with me."

After saying that, the hunting bow was about to lead the way, but at this moment, the man with the bow on his back opened his mouth and stopped him.

"Wait a minute," Fang Chang took out a pack of wheat cakes from his pocket and handed it to him, "This is your reward."

The bag of wheat cakes weighed half a catty.

After taking the hunting bow in the paper package, he was stunned for a moment, but soon he realized what it was, and an ecstatic expression immediately appeared on his face.

"We don't need payment..." Although he said that, he had no intention of returning the things.

Fang Chang looked at him and smiled.

"You're welcome, we won't let people work for us for nothing."

In Dawn City, one silver coin can buy two pieces of wheat cake like this, not to mention that the supplies delivered by airdrop do not require money to buy.

You only need to pay a small reward to gain the loyalty of a guide, and the idea that "you can get paid for working for the people of the New Alliance" can take root in the hearts of the locals.

This deal is such a bargain!

Putting away the paper package with a grateful look on his face, Xie Gong carefully placed it in his inner pocket of his clothes, planning to take it home after work and enjoy it with his family.

Taking a deep breath, he looked at Fang Chang.

"Thank you for your generosity!"

Fang Chang nodded.

"Take us around, our manager wants to know what's going on here."

Hunting Bow said immediately.

"No problem, please come with me!"

Because of the piece of green wheat cake, the bow hunting guide was obviously much more enthusiastic.

After learning that Mr. Fang Chang wanted to know the real life conditions of the residents of Hope Town, he immediately led them through several corridors to the residential area on the B1 floor of the commercial complex.

As soon as he stepped into this area, Lao Bai felt an unpleasant smell blowing towards his face.

The narrow corridors and stairs were almost full of rubbish piled up haphazardly, and there were six to seven hundred people lying scattered in a space of less than 100 square meters. The ceiling of the corridor is covered with centipede-like crooked ventilation ducts, but cockroaches and mice have already built nests inside.

And this is just a corner of this "town".

The hygiene here is terrible, although the problem here goes far beyond hygiene. Due to the lack of nutrition, fuel and heating equipment, people fainted from hunger or even died of hunger every day.

As for those corpses...

There is a high probability that it will be dragged into the nutritional paste synthesis device, and it will be made into a green paste-like substance together with other plant fibers and the corpses of animals and insects.

Thin, sallow faces were hidden in the darkness, and people huddled on garbage heaps that were simpler than shacks, like rats in the sewer.

Their curious eyes carefully observed these strangers who were incompatible with them and the surroundings, and whispered about the identities of these people.

"Are they... from the New Alliance?"

"Isn't the mayor joking?"

"Thank God... we are finally saved."

The sound spread like ocean waves.

Just as the local residents were sizing up the person behind Hunter Bow, a member of the cattle and horse team was also sizing them up.

Behind the strong wind, Ye Shi held his breath involuntarily.

Not only because of the suffocating smell, but also because of the shocking scenes in front of me.

This place is simply hell...

The last time I saw such a tragic situation was in the dungeon of Qingshi County.

"...Those damn robbers." Ye Shi couldn't help but cursed in a low voice, "Go to hell."

Fang Chang and Bang Feng didn't speak. One of them regarded this place as a game, the other said very little. Lao Bai at the front was in a heavy mood, as if he was thinking about something.

Noticing the expressions on everyone's faces, Hunter Bow explained.

"This is the area where ordinary residents live. We are short of supplies and can barely maintain the status quo... My commander doesn't want me to bring you here. He asked me to avoid the B1 area as much as possible and show more of our beauty. "

Fang Chang looked at him and asked.

"Bringing us here won't cause you any trouble, will it?"

Hunting Bow smiled sheepishly and said.

"How come? Please don't worry about me. Our commander asked me to obey your orders. If he asks about this, I will say that you insisted on coming."

Lao Bai looked around and said to each other while stumbling.

"You have gathered so many people here, won't you find them here if you plunder them?"

Hunting Bow continued.

"Don't worry about that. The entrance to the surface has completely collapsed. We have completely sealed the entrance directly from the subway station. There is only one way to get in from the outside, which is the secret door hidden in the subway tunnel. "

At this time, Lao Bai suddenly felt something in his heart and whispered a few words to Fang Chang about the mission on the VM.

Fang Chang was stunned for a moment, then immediately looked at the hunting bow and asked.

"Speaking of which, do you have anyone with special talents here?"

"Special talent?" Xie Gong was stunned for a moment, "What kind of talent are you talking about?"

Fang Chang tried to ask, "In terms of technology, whether it's blacksmithing or handicrafts, there is always one skill and one specialty!"

Xie Gong was stunned for a moment and said.

"It's just a skill...The threshold is too low. Most of the survivors from the Lagrange Building are craftsmen. Many people who lived at the TV station in the past can sing and blacksmith. The survivors from the Fourth New District Many people in the settlement are good at fishing and stealing cracked claw crab eggs..."

Fang Chang silently recorded this information and then asked.

"What about the others? Like the Vault Dwellers?"

"Residents of the shelter? There is a shelter in Xizhou City, but as soon as the Ya clan came here, they closed the door..."

Fang Chang felt happy and asked immediately.

"What's the number of the shelter? Do you know its specific location?"

"I remember it was 101? I don't know the exact location, but I do remember the camp they built on the surface. It seems to be..." Hunting Bow scratched the back of his head and told Fang Chang the address.

However, at this moment, a disheveled man suddenly jumped out from the side, rolled and crawled to the feet of everyone.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and before they understood what happened, the man looked at everyone with pleading eyes and said.

"You are from the New Alliance, right? Please, help me!"

"What are you doing?! Take your hand away -" Hunting Bow was about to drive him away, but was stopped by Lao Bai.

Reaching out to lift the unkempt man from the ground, Lao Bai looked at him and asked.

"You get up first and tell me your name."

"I am... the king." The man said incoherently.

"Okay, Wang Zhong...what trouble have you encountered."

The man who had just calmed down his breathing suddenly became excited again.

"My wife is seriously ill. Without antibiotics, I'm afraid she won't last long... Please, can you give me some medicine and food?"

Seeing this man's miserable appearance, Lao Bai couldn't help but want to help. Fang Chang, who was standing aside, instantly guessed what he was planning to do and immediately stopped his hand reaching for the backpack.

"Everyone here needs medicine and food. If you help him, there will be a second and third person soon."

Lao Bai looked at Fang Chang.

"Are we just going to leave him alone?"

Fang Chang said calmly.

"Of course not. We will truthfully report the situation here to the management, and he will decide on assistance to the local survivors."

After a pause, he looked at Lao Bai and continued.

"There are more than a thousand people here, and with the little supplies we have, we can't help them at all."

Lao Bai fell into silence.

Reason told him that what Fang Chang said was right, but psychologically it was difficult for him to accept it.

The only thing to blame is that this game is too realistic.

At this time, the man among the kings suddenly spoke.

"I won't take your things for nothing... I just heard on the radio that you are planning to build a surviving settlement here, right?"

Lao Bai also read the translation on VM.

Fang Chang understood this sentence and immediately looked at the man.

"Yes, do you have any good ideas?"

Seeing the drama, Wang Zhong swallowed and continued, "No, but I know... there is a prepared controllable fusion reactor hidden underground in Xizhou City."

The moment he finished speaking, the expression on Fang Chang's face immediately became serious, and he stared into the man's eyes and asked.

"Are you serious?"

Wang Zhongli nodded his head and swore poisonously.

"I can guarantee it with my life! Those blue coats...that is, the residents of Vault 101, they said it themselves. That reactor was a civil defense facility built during the AFC era, specially prepared for the underground network. It is said that the output power can reach GM level. They tried to repair the reactor and have succeeded in repairing half of it!"

After using the translation tool to barely understand what he said, Fang Chang asked immediately.

"Why do you know this?"

Wang Zhong said immediately.

"Because I am a resident of Camp 101! They hired some local people in the camp to help them pick up garbage, build houses, move things, take care of their daily life... and always do some work that they are unwilling to do. I am the cook in the cafeteria. They talked about this while they were eating, and they even joked that after they repaired the reactor, the surviving people in Xizhou City would not have to worry about electricity. "

If this reactor really exists, then this sentence is indeed no joke.

GM-level power generation, compared with reality, the output power of this reactor alone can instantly kill the total power of many small countries' power grids!

It can be said that it is more than enough to meet the electricity needs of tens of thousands of surviving people.

Fang Chang looked excitedly at the hunting bow standing aside.

Although Hou Yi was confused by what the king said, he still nodded after hesitating for a moment.

"He is telling the truth...Camp 101 did hire some wastelanders living nearby and let them live in his camp. But I don't know much about the reactor..."

Controlled fusion reactor!

Everyone changed their gazes, and expressions of excitement appeared on their faces.

Although the New Alliance currently masters high-end energy storage methods such as solid hydrogen, its power generation methods are still backward and even primitive.

If this controllable fusion reactor can be mastered, the impact on the New Alliance industry will undoubtedly be huge!

Fang Changke suppressed the excitement in his voice, looked at the man and asked.

"Do you know where that reactor is?"

Wang Zhong nodded nervously.

"I can take you...but you have to cure my wife. And...I need food, food that can keep our family alive."

Fang Chang said with a smile.

"Don't worry! A batch of supplies will be delivered here tonight. Whether it's food or medicine, your reasonable demands will be met!"

After leaving these words, Fang Chang looked at the hunting bow standing aside and said in front of Wang Zhong.

"The information he has on him is critical, and I need you to ensure the safety of him and his family."

The town of Hope has been incorporated into the new alliance.

I believe that as long as the people in these resistance organizations are not stupid, they will carefully consider the weight of their words.

Sure enough, as soon as he said these words, the expression on Xie Gong's face immediately became serious, and he spoke seriously.

"No problem, just give it to me!"

Fang Chang nodded and continued.

"In addition, please spread the word in our town. If you have similar information, no matter how big or small it is, please tell us!"

"Once the value of the information is confirmed, the Alliance will definitely reward you heavily!"

-

(Thanks to the leader of "Bragging Fatty" for the reward!!)
