This Game Is Too Realistic

Chapter 378 Murder in the Dark (1/2)

"Sir, sir... I am just a businessman doing business. Is there any misunderstanding between us?"

Looking at the black muzzle of the gun in front of him, Jep was slumped on the ground, not daring to take a breath, and begged tremblingly.

However, the stern-looking man standing in front of him at this moment was indifferent.

Playing with the Pu-9 submachine gun he picked up in his hand, the man said in an interrogating tone.

"Where did this gun come from?"

Hearing this question, Jip felt extremely painful, but he did not dare to hide it, so he could only tell the truth honestly.

He had already guessed the identities of these people.

They were the same as the group of men in black in the morning, they all came from that ridiculously big airship, and they all came from that damn legion!

"I, I picked it up."

"Where did you pick it up?"

"To the east, walk five miles east, along the edge of the forest, there is a place called Katin Station... In the morning, there was a group of people dressed similarly to you. They had a conflict with some people, and then they started fighting... ...By the way, I heard from other mercenaries that they seem to be from the Alliance."

Jep said tremblingly, but the face of the stern-looking man standing in front of him gradually turned gloomy.

"...the Alliance."

He had never heard of this name when he first came to the Valley Province. He thought it should be a regional powerhouse that had risen in the nearby area in recent years.

This is not uncommon.

Human beings are animals that like to huddle together for warmth.

However, whatever that alliance was, now they not only provoked the Legion, but also killed the crew of the Heart of Iron.

In the last survivor settlement that did this, not only was the leader of the settlement hung on the pitot tube of the Heart of Steel, but the men, women, and children in the settlement were also captured on the airship and used as slaves. .

Finally, the airship docked at the port, and only a few of them were sold to the mines. Most of the others died on the way, and the causes of death were also varied.

There may be officers who restrain their men to treat prisoners well, but it is definitely not the General McClung they respect. The barbarians standing in front of them have only two endings, either surrender or be destroyed.

A cruel smile appeared on Vito's stern face.

He didn't care about that Herrick. A weakling who couldn't even defeat a few natives didn't deserve sympathy. What made him happy was that he had new fun to have.

Frightened by the abnormal expression, Jep said tremblingly.

"I, I don't know those people, I was just passing by..."

"How many of them are there?"

"Three, three..."

"Three?"

"Also, there is a talking bear! And a dumb one... They drove an armed truck. It seemed that they were planning to go to Luoxia Province, but after what happened, they did not continue to the west. , but turned back... Yes! I remember! They went east! You can definitely find them by walking eastward along the edge of the forest!"

As if grasping at a life-saving straw, Jep spoke incoherently and poured out all the information he knew.

Vito thought quietly.

Talking Bear…

He had never heard of such a strange thing, but this was a wasteland after all, and anything could happen. Presumably it was the bear that took care of Herrick and his brothers.

Standing behind Vito, a muscular man took half a step forward and said in a dull voice.

"Perhaps it was the trap set by those guys and damaged our airship."

Two bloody hatchets hung from his waist, and a shotgun with a sawn-off barrel was slung on his back.

Although he could clearly end his opponent's life with bullets, he enjoyed the pleasure of splitting his opponent's head open with an axe.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Vito thought calmly for a moment and said slowly and softly, "We must make them pay the price."

Another thin man said.

"How to say?"

"First report the news to Lord Rachel, and then continue to track eastward... Maybe the wounded in the company are also in their hands."

After a pause, Vito continued.

"If we can catch the culprit who destroyed our airship and the employees of that company at the same time, maybe General McClung will praise us personally."

While the three legionnaires in black cloaks were discussing, Jep glanced at the goods scattered on the ground and the bloody two-headed cow, and felt a heartache in his heart.

㫇Zhenzhen has been unlucky for eight lifetimes.

He was first kicked out of his tent by a group of crooked-nosed legionnaires, and then a group of people started fighting next to his goods.

Before he could recall what had happened, a truck with a machine gun welded on it rushed over and lifted his tent up.

Those people were reasonable and compensated him 3 dinars.

Although this amount of money was completely insufficient to compensate for his losses, it made him feel a little bit sad.

Duo's experience of walking in the wasteland told him that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time. Therefore, without thinking much, he immediately packed up and left the land of right and wrong.

However, he shouldn't, so he picked up their weapons and belongings from the corpses.

It was these things that brought him the disaster of death.

Three men in black clothes in cloaks caught up with him. First, they shot the head of the mercenary he hired, and then a muscular weirdo rushed up and chopped down the remaining two with two axes. Guard.

He even had a feeling.

The three people in front of him were fighting more fiercely than the twenty or so people he had seen in the camp before.

Not only were these people Awakened, but most of them had also undergone body modification surgery or something similar. He clearly remembered that muscular man who had been shot, but now he acted like nothing happened, and he didn't even use a bandage!

The three seemed to have reached an agreement and were ready to leave.

Jep breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was finally saved.

However, just as he was thinking this, the man with a stern expression pointed the Pu-9 submachine gun in his hand at him.

"S-lord?"

Jep's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he begged for mercy in panic. However, before he could finish his words, the sudden sound of gunshots beat him to pieces.

Looking at the wastelander lying in a pool of blood, Vito threw the picked up submachine gun aside.

The muscular man looked at the goods scattered on the ground and the two-headed cow that fell to the ground, and smacked his tongue with some pity.

"What a waste."

"Don't waste time, the task is important."

No more nonsense.

Vito led his team members and hurried towards the east direction.

"Deflector shield?!"

Camp No. 101.

Looking at the photos displayed on the screen, Pai opened his mouth in surprise after listening to Chu Guang's description, and blurted out this word that was somewhat unfamiliar to Chu Guang.

After a long time to digest the shock in her heart, she whispered.

"How on earth did you provoke that kind of monster..."

Chu Guang sighed and said with a headache.

"It's not that we provoked them, it's that they came straight to us. This is a wasteland, and even if we do nothing, trouble will find itself."

Thirty W-2 attack aircraft.

No one will survive!

Those fifteen rockets were the last bit of stubbornness of the pilots.

Although no damage was caused to the airship in the end, thanks to the sacrifices of those players, the shelter gained valuable information.

If, when all the chips are put on the table, you find that your weapons cannot break the opponent's defense, then you are really doomed.

But now, he at least has time to think about countermeasures.

However, having said that, shields are beyond Chu Guang's knowledge and beyond the knowledge of players.

Till now, Mosquito is still calling it unscientific, posting crazy comments on the forum, demanding that the new version of BOSS be cut down.

Chu Guang thought so.

But after all, he is not a real planner, and this world is not a real game. There is no such thing as a console for him to use.

Most of the prizes drawn from the shelter are mainly "non-lethal weapons". Occasionally, one or two pieces of equipment that look powerful are only suitable for personal self-defense, and are not even as good as players in large-scale wars. We can use our own DIY weapons.

After much thought, he could only ask his friends at Camp 101 for help.

Hearing Pai use the word "monster", Chu Guang's expression gradually became serious.

"Is that deflector shield difficult to deal with?"

"Hmm...where should I start?"

Pai thought carefully for a while and continued.

"Deflector shields were standard equipment for every starship in the Human League era. They were mainly used to protect against meteorite impacts, as well as kinetic energy weapons and chemical-powered missiles launched by some illegally modified armed transport ships. The principle of the shield is based on the gravitational field Related effects, while the efficiency of deflection is mainly related to the momentum and direction of the flying object. "

"...What do you mean?" Chu Guang asked with a headache.

Pai continued.

"Simply put, the faster the object and the smaller the incident angle, the greater the deflection force it obtains in the horizontal direction of the shield, and the deflection shield changes the vector direction more obviously."

Chu Guang asked bluntly.

"Is there any way to crack it?"

Pai on the screen nodded.

"Of course, deflector shields are not omnipotent. For example, deflector shields have almost no effect on particle weapons, including but not limited to neutron bombs or optical weapons!"

"For example, some large-mass low-speed objects can also effectively break through the shield's defense... But the actual combat effect of such weapons is often very poor. After all, most ships will be equipped with at least one point defense artillery or electromagnetic gun as a shield system. add."

"However, the simplest and crudest method is actually kinetic energy weapons."

"Kinetic energy weapons?" Chu Guang was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly, "Didn't you just say... that the shield would have a great deflection effect on high-speed objects?"

Pai blinked and continued matter-of-factly.

"Yes, but energy is conserved."

"The deflection shield's interference with flying objects will consume a lot of energy. The cost of launching a mass bomb with an electromagnetic accelerator is far cheaper than the cost of deflecting a mass bomb."

"Withstanding intensive firepower for a short period of time, not only may the shield capacitor be exhausted, but it may also overheat the shield generator, thereby physically breaking through the shield's defense... Ah, by the way, this idea seems to have no reference to you. value.”

As if remembering something, she changed the subject.

"If the airship is powered by a fusion reactor, your cannonballs will probably be drained before the shield capacitor... I remember you still use chemical energy cannonballs, right?"

Chu Guang: "..."

Then what the hell are you talking about?

Taking a deep breath, Chu Guang looked at Pai on the screen and said.

"Thank you for the information you provided. At least we now understand what we need to face."

This thank you seemed very appreciated. Pai raised the corners of his lips proudly and said generously.

"You're welcome! If you don't understand anything, just ask me!"

Seeing Pai who was happy for helping, Chu Guang couldn't help but be infected by her optimistic mood, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Yeah, I will."

After the communication ends.

Chu Guang thought for a moment, called Shuyu who was far away in Boulder City, and said straight to the point.

"Tomorrow's Daily Survivor, I'd like to see [Legion's airship take up a full page of the front page."

After listening to the manager's order, Shuyu was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Army...an airship from the Legion?"

Although photos of the Heart of Steel have gone viral on the official website of Wasteland Online, few residents of the New Alliance know about it.

After all, there is no official website for "NPC". The only one who can log in to the official website in the game is Chu Guang himself.

Therefore, when he heard the words of [the manager], his mood was not so much shock, but rather confusion as he was completely confused about the situation.

Chu Guang knew that he probably didn't understand the situation at the moment, so he continued speaking directly without waiting for him to ask.

"I will explain the specific situation to you later, including photos of the airship, the weapons on the airship, etc..."

"However, these are not the key."

"The key is that we must make the survivors of Boulder City realize that savages more dangerous than the bone-chewing tribe are advancing towards Qingquan City. The giant wall can block the wave, but they can never block the 400mm mortar."

"If they don't plan to do anything, they will wash their necks and wait for death when the airship flies in front of their house."

"Of course, the most important thing is that we need to let their city halls, banks, factories, etc.... as well as the nobles and city lords in the inner city know."

"The neighbor who borrowed 200 million chips from them, the person who is letting them live a miserable life, is now in trouble!"

Late at night.

In the eastern suburbs of Ruigu City, in a valley about 20 kilometers away from the "Heart of Steel", an "electric mule" loaded with cargo is parked.

The airship is no longer visible from here, and it won't be seen by the opponent. It is an excellent place to set up camp.

The relatively rugged terrain and dense vegetation can also easily block the campfire.

The White Bear Knights and their group chose to camp here, while Karman and his guards continued on the road to Qingquan City to seek help.

In the end, Sisi did not agree to his request to travel together. After all, she had no way to verify his identity, not to mention she had no plans to return to the northern suburbs.

They have to wait here to rendezvous with the Storm Troops, build an operational base, and then decide on their next plan - whether to deal with the legions who came out halfway first, or to find an opportunity to enter Vault 79 first.

In fact, Sis prefers the latter.

What if there is some secret weapon hidden inside that can deal with airships?

Although this possibility is not high, you can look forward to it.

As a professional planner, Aguang would never put two unrelated things on the same page.

No matter how real it is, this is a game after all.

Sitting next to a bonfire surrounded by stones, Sesame paste fiddled with the silver card in his hand, with obvious confusion on his face illuminated by the fire.

"What does this thing do?"

After handing this card to her, Luo Hua fell into coma again, giving her no time to ask clearly.

"Could it be a key or something?"

Rourou, who was sitting in front of the campfire, tilted his head and muttered in a simple and honest voice.

"I remember... the Pioneer seems to be in the desert looking for Shelter 0. That's what the official website says."

"But why would he give us such a valuable thing?" Sesame Paste asked in confusion.

"Maybe it's because we are their friends?" Rourou said in an uncertain tone, "It's better to keep it here than to let the legion take it."

"...I have a different view."

Looking through the notes in his hand, Sisi, who was sorting out the information, suddenly jumped into the topic and said.

"Maybe the company just wants to draw us into the conflict between them and the Legion. Anyway, even if the key is in our hands, we have no chance. And if they ask for it back, our managers will definitely give it back to them, right? ”

The campfire made a soft crackling sound.

Sesame Paste and Rourou looked at each other and whispered.

"I don't think that's the case... He may just have no one to rely on, so he chose us, the only ones he can trust."

She preferred it to be less complicated.

Rourou, who was sitting next to him, nodded his furry head in deep appreciation.

"I also think...those people give me a pretty bad feeling."

As for Teddy, he had no idea what the owners were discussing and just licked his paws blankly.

Sisi did not refute his teammates' views, and his eyes never left the notes in his hand.

"Emmm... maybe, I'm just making a hypothesis."

The human body is a complex thing, and there can be many kinds of motivations. People with simple minds are rare.

What's more, it's not certain whether that card is a key.

The only clue they had was that the Pioneer was looking for something extraordinary in the desert, and it was probably the legendary Vault 0 that could end all suffering and restart an era of prosperity.

However, she still had doubts about it.

It's not that I doubt whether they are really looking for [.

But I doubt that such a convenient thing really exists?

Even in the game...

Looking at the notes in Sisi's hand, Rourou asked curiously.

"By the way, what did you write in your notes?"

She often looked at what Sisi had written on it.

"Some information on the search for 婖㳔."

"Including the setting of the Luoxia Province mentioned by the guy who calls himself the prince, and the rumors I heard from the mercenaries and merchants... I will sort it out in the post later."

These news are definitely more shocking than a few photos of airships.

Maybe there is still a chance to be included in the setting page of the official website like those big guys who often write guides.

"I admire people who can write guides. I can't even write travel guides..." Sesame looked at Sisi with envy.

Rourou also nodded in deep feeling and said with emotion.

"+1, I feel like Si Si in real life must be a very reliable type."

Feeling a little embarrassed by the praise, Si Si coughed lightly and said.

"It's nothing at all. In reality, I'm actually in enough trouble."

Sesame paste looked at her in surprise.

"Eh? Really?"

Rourou also showed a surprised expression.

"I don't think so at all!"

"It's normal. Take Awei for example. Don't look at her not being very smart in the game, but in reality..."

Said [Here, Sska paused.

Seeing her increasingly subtle expression, smelling the scent of gossip, he immediately asked curiously.

"In reality?"

Sisi looked away unconsciously.

"Emm... Even though I'm not very smart, at least I'm quite quiet."

Sesame paste couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing, while Rourou touched his head in confusion.

She could figure it out that he wasn't smart.

With a quiet look...

I don't think so at all.

Turning over a page of notes in his hand, Sisi continued thinking.

"Actually, I personally feel that the image of the virtual world is not so much a projection of the personality in reality, but more like the kind of person I want to be in my mind... Maybe it is because I am not that reliable in reality, so I just thought I would have a different way of living in 'Second Life'."

"Well, if you put it that way, I feel like I have a little bit of anxiety. In reality... I actually have a little bit of social anxiety, but in the game I feel like it."

With a slightly shy smile on his face, the cat ears on the top of his head swayed comfortably, and he hugged Sesame Paste, who was sitting under the tree with his knees in his arms, and hid his chin in his arms with some uneasiness.

Every time she talked about real-life things, she always felt embarrassed, so she quickly changed the topic.

"By the way, speaking of... where's Tails? Why haven't you come back yet?"

"She has recovered the VM dropped by the pilot. It should be soon..."

After closing the note in his hand, Sisi opened the VM screen and was about to take a look at how far Awei was from here.

At this moment, a strong premonition of crisis suddenly came into her heart.

It felt like being stared at by some dangerous beast.

It turned out that she wasn't the only one paying attention.

The cat ears that were shaking slightly before stood up. Sesame paste, who was sitting across from the campfire, had already grasped the Pu-9 submachine gun and dagger placed aside with his hands.

"I seemed to hear something just now..." She whispered, her pupils focused, and she scanned the dark forest.

Without any hesitation, Sisi reached out and placed the iron pot on the campfire, quickly extinguishing the campfire.

At the same time——

A projectile bound by magnetic force was already suspended in her hand, alerting her to the approaching murderous intent.

"Be more confident..."

"The statue can be pulled off."
