This Game Is Too Realistic

A dark and deep chaos, it gradually woke up from its deep sleep.

Surrounded by invisible walls and darkness, stirring shadows obscured its eyes.

It also blocks its hearing.

It opened its nonexistent mouth and let out a cry like a baby crying.

At this time, a soft force slowly came along the invisible umbilical cord, making it feel that every cell in the body stretched freely in the chaos.

'My child...you finally woke up...'

There was a hint of loneliness and a hint of longing in that trembling call.

It doesn't understand the feeling.

But the sound made it feel very comfortable.

'Who are you? ’

'I am your mother. ’

‘Mother? ’

‘It is the thing that gives birth to all things, I gave you soul and flesh and blood. ’

'……I am? ’

‘Thea, this is your name and the third gift I give you. ’

Thea…

It recited its name silently, staring at the stirring wall and black area, the throbbing of its soul gradually taking on a hint of piety, and listened to the sound that slowly came along the umbilical cord.

‘You will wake up on the day the ice is over, and you will realize your destiny on the day you wake up. ’

‘To conquer. ’

‘To devour. ’

‘To liberate. ’

‘Go and do it for me. ’

The vision obscured by darkness gradually became clearer, and the pitch-black wall was replaced by the stirring scarlet flesh membrane.

The bloodthirsty color was reflected in the amber eyes that had just opened.

The sound continued to reach its ears.

‘…we will eventually enter into eternal prosperity. ’

There was no hesitation.

It opened its mouth connected by silk threads, and roared through the silk threads with its hot attack.

"yes……"

…

At the entrance of Boulder City, noisy hawking sounds can be heard endlessly. In addition to merchants traveling from north to south, there are also small players from Shelter 404.

"Explosive mushrooms! One silver coin each. It can be eaten and exploded. It is as powerful as a grenade. It is wholesale from Boss Crow. Pre-order now!"

"Mutated iron worms soaked in wine! Fresh wine, fresh iron worms, don't miss it when you pass by!"

"What the hell?"

"Iron worms? Damn this earthworms?!"

"Try it yourself, boss!"

"Ahem, it requires LV20 of the physical system. The boss is of the intelligence system, and the physical strength is not enough."

"Boss, give me a pound, and I'll give my brother a buff."

"Hey!"

The heavy snow has stopped, the wave is coming, and the store at the door will be closed in a while.

Many stalls and shops are rushing to do the last business before spring.

In addition to selling food and supplies, there are also many arms dealers selling weapons and equipment.

Such as goblin technology.

㱗It is undoubtedly the most eye-catching sign among this crowd.

Standing next to a three-meter-high armor, a mosquito holding a horn was shouting hard.

"The latest type II unpowered armor produced by Goblin Technology! Requires LV10 strength system! LV15 physical system is also required! It can carry and fight, and it can explode when it rushes into a crowd!"

As soon as the players heard the unique drake voice, they immediately gathered around with great interest.

"What the hell? Mosquito? Why did you come out to set up a stall yourself?" The debtor fiddled with the armor curiously, and found that he couldn't move even one arm, so he gave up helplessly.

Mosquito sighed and said sadly.

"Hey... I lost money on the last mission. I'm a little poor recently. I'll use my second hand to replenish my blood."

㹏Lao Na and Lao Wang are still weak.

The two of them wandered around the plain for several times, but couldn't find his mechanical arm.

He plans to customize another set in a few days.

But this time he had to be smart and get a detachable one.

The young man and Zhuan looked closely at each other and asked you curiously.

"If you don't understand, just ask, are you a useless person with equipment?"

Not minding this bitch's teasing at all, the mosquito said with a smile.

"For what it's worth, it's not too useless, it's just average."

Debt-eyed: "Damn!"

As he was walking towards the north through the bustling market, Luo Yu suddenly stopped halfway and pressed his chest with his right hand unconsciously.

The flesh and blood that had been eaten away by the group of batmen had been replaced by the rapidly growing biological prosthetic body, transforming into a part of his body in the form of a small feather entity.

It's getting hot there right now.

It's like it's on fire!

Just when Luo Yu was confused and said something, a soft murmur came from the communication frequency.

"Uh-huh."

(It woke up.)

He could understand Xiaoyu's murmuring voice, even easier than when it spoke human couplet.

Luo Yu looked around subconsciously and asked Yu confusedly.

"Awake? Who is awake?"

"Uh-huh..."

(Thea...)

(That's its name.)

Luo Yu was stunned for a moment.

This was the first time that he couldn't understand what Xiaoyu said.

Thea?

it?

Just when he was confused, a familiar shout came from the side.

"I'll blanch it, Luo Yu! You're finally back!"

Luo Yu looked sideways and saw Brother Mosquito standing in front of a stall, waving to him excitedly.

Subconsciously raising his hand, Luo Yu was just about to say hello to him when his eyes suddenly fell on the three-meter-high torture device next to him.

Luo Yu's eyes instantly became alert, and he took back his half-raised hand.

"What are you doing?"

"Don't be so cold, brother," without noticing the alert look in his eyes, Mosquito left the stall with a smile and pulled his arm, "Seriously, come and help me try out the equipment and open the eyes of these ignorant little butts. ”

Luo Yu pulled his hand back as if he had been shocked by electricity, and instantly took a dozen steps back.

"Not familiar, thank you."

Watching Luo Yu disappear in the sea of ​​people at the speed of light, the mosquito with outstretched hands was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.

Seeing the pilot, they didn't dare to try it, and the cute people who were watching suddenly dispersed.

Listening to the uncontrollable laughter behind him, Mosquito shouted to Fang Yan as Luo Yu disappeared.

"I'm going to blanch you! You are ruthless!"

The sound merged with the excitement and bustle in the distance.

At this moment, most of the survivors on the living ground did not notice that the gray-green mist rooted in the center of the land like a towering tree was spreading quietly around...

…

Chu Guang still remembered that when he was on an expedition to Jinchuan Province on the Heart of Steel, the snow on the ground was so thick that a person's calves could be buried.

Now when I came back, there was only a thin layer left on the ground.

During the period of his absence, a lot of sentiments were expressed in various settlements in the alliance.

The one that has changed the most is Dawn City.

As the capital of the alliance and the first glimmer of hope rising in this wasteland, Dawn City has always been the starting point for the development of the alliance.

Especially when Chu Guang waved his hand a year ago, the Economic Cooperation Conference poured out a full 900 million silver coins in the infrastructure field.

Spurred by this huge budget, the changes brought to this settlement were almost immediate.

Not only have the streets become wider and cleaner, making commuting more convenient, people's lives have also become visibly more comfortable.

In addition to those who have already lived in Tuo, residents who have just joined the alliance and refugees who are still "supervised" have not been left behind.

One thousand prefabricated apartments in the eastern suburbs have also completed all construction periods, and more than 40,000 households that meet the resettlement conditions have successfully moved in.

So far, the registered permanent population of Shuguang City has jumped from 50,000 earlier to 100,000!

What is even more gratifying is the new population registration data provided by the Ministry of Health - following the end of the war in Luoxia Province, a baby boom is brewing.

Although this has brought considerable challenges to the alliance's current limited medical and educational resources, the positive side is that it has greatly improved the current population structure.

The survivors of the alliance are moving towards a new life. Although the disaster on this land is far from over, everyone's heart is full of confidence.

Because their administrator did fulfill the impassioned promise he made to the residents of the alliance during the triumphal ceremony——

Let the wonderful quality stand out in the meeting of the alliance.

A hard-working person will never become a fool. As long as he studies, works and lives actively and contributes his strength to the society, he will definitely deserve a better life.

The same goes for Lida City.

The changes here are second only to Dawn City.

The train station that once had only a wooden sign has now been transformed into a concrete station hall.

There is a six-lane road from the industrial area to the logistics center. The workers who once lived in iron houses to repair drainage facilities have now moved into buildings with elevators. Large factories covering dozens or even acres.

Objectively speaking, although the development and living standards of residents here are not as good as Shuguang City, the "degree of electrification" and "urbanization rate" are higher than Shuguang City and Boulder City combined.

After all, the Alliance's only city-level fusion reactor is located here, and the power resources here don't even have much transportation costs.

Since there are more hills than flat areas, most local residents live in buildings with a high floor area ratio, so elevators are almost standard equipment.

The three- or four-story single-family huts in Shuguang City that house only one or two families are not seen here in Lida City.

Because there were a large number of ready-made foundations available, the authorities in Lida City simply built new housing on abandoned buildings from Xizhou City.

Although most of the houses built during the Age of Prosperity are no longer usable, their foundations are surprisingly complete and of astonishingly good quality! It is not a big problem to build a building with a service life of 50 years directly on the basis of the foundation!

It's even possible that when a newly built building reaches its scrapping age, the part buried underground will still be in good condition.

Considering that the generation gap between the alliance's current infrastructure level and the Prosperous Era is at least one century, this situation is entirely possible.

In addition, Xizhou City's Prosperity Era is a livable city with a low population density. The building floors are generally not high, and demolition is not as difficult as Qingquan City. Concrete waste can also be recycled through the technology provided by the Ideal Group. Lida City The cost of building a twenty-story building will be much lower than in other places.

At present, the registered permanent population of Lida City has increased from 80,000 to 110,000, and this is almost the entire population of this settlement.

After all, this is an important industrial town in the alliance. The business aspect is not as prosperous as Dawn City in the south. Most people come here to find jobs.

As long as you work, you need to pay taxes, and you need to register to pay taxes. Therefore, the number of "black households" here is theoretically the least in the entire alliance.

In addition to housing and industries directly related to people's livelihood, another major infrastructure project in Lida City is the dam on the northeastern shore of Xizhou Lake!

As one of the environmental transformation projects in the People's Federation era, Xizhou Lake can be regarded as the largest artificial lake in the central region of Hehe River.

This lake played an important role in the desertification control work in the central region of Middle Continent. However, after entering the Wasteland Era, this abandoned lake was affected by the end of the ice age, increased rainfall, changes in the structure of the lake bed, etc. A series of factors developed into serious flooding.

If this "artificial reservoir" can be restored, a large area of ​​black land from the northwest side of Xizhou City to the Tianshui tributary will be released.

This project is expected to add at least hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland to the alliance!

And unlike those cultivated lands maintained by the "river embankment" system in Luoxiatang Province, the existence of this black soil does not need to rely on any unknown technology.

Although the alliance mainly imports food from vassal countries, agriculture is not the focus of Lida City's development, and no one in the alliance would complain that they have too much arable land resources.

Even if the NPCs are not interested in farming, it would be great to leave it to life professionals such as "Maka Bazi" and "Bored Tiger" who are keen on farming to develop it.

Hundreds of thousands of acres of arable land, brand-new production methods and production relations, and the troubles that may be encountered during land reclamation... If this were replaced by the potato factory's "Noodles 1800", it would be enough to release it as an expansion pack!

In reality, contracting a manor of several acres has to face various problems. In the wasteland, it is enough to occasionally deal with the wandering alien species and wastelanders.

In short, despite experiencing many hardships during the period, including war, the workers of Lida City finally lived up to expectations and overcame all difficulties.

According to the drawings and construction plans provided by environmental engineer Butan, and with the joint efforts of experts and construction workers in Camp 101, the Xizhou Lake Dam was finally completed!

Not only the black land in the north of Xizhou City, but also the entire Sixin District in Paohu Lake has resurfaced.

You will never need to take a boat to travel through this area again!

And it's more than that.

As the lake receded, the city, which had been sealed by the lake for nearly a century and a half, unlocked many new areas that had not been explored by previous players.

For example, Shelter No. 100 is located near the subway section of Sixin District!

According to information provided by Camp 101, the shelter plans to shelter 30,000 people, and is scheduled to be unblocked in the 60th year of the Wasteland Era.

Unfortunately, in the 52nd year of the Wasteland Era, the spreading lake flooded the entire Fourth New District, completely sealing the door of Vault 100.

According to open information, the mission of Shelter No. 100 is the reconstruction of Xizhou City.

Even the backup controllable fusion reactor located underground in Xizhou City—the one currently used by the Alliance—is prepared for Vault 100.

It can be inferred from this that there should be a certain amount of helium-3 resource reserves in Vault 100, and there is probably a considerable proportion of nuclear engineers among the residents.

The method of living in seclusion in Vault 101. The doctor judged that the probability of survival of the residents of the refuge was only 3.1%, the probability of continuing to perform the mission was less than 1%, and the success rate was close to 0, so the controllable fusion reactor was The coordinates were provided to the wastelanders at Camp 101.

However, as for what the shelter plan of Vault 100 is, I am afraid only the manager of that shelter will know.

Maybe just like Vault No. 79 in Zuigoku City, Vault No. 100, which claims to be responsible for the reconstruction of Xizhou City, may actually be involved in other shelter projects?

Yin Fang is very interested in this shelter. After all, his occupation is to dig graves. His interest in coffee machines, research on various electronic equipment, and even medical skills are just incidental.

The same goes for Chu Guang.

But compared to Yin Fang's curiosity about why this shelter "sinked", he was more curious about what treasures he could pick up from inside.

At present, the construction workers of the alliance are trying to install a drainage system to use pumps to pump out the lake water poured into the underground channel and discharge it to the Tianshui tributary in the north.

Due to the large number of aquatic arthropods such as cleavage crabs and warship shrimps nesting in this area, construction is facing considerable challenges.

The current excavation work of Vault 100 ranks second in the work diary of Lida City, second only to a series of industrial zone expansion plans.

I believe that when this shelter comes to light again, all the treasures and secrets buried inside will come to light.

Chu Guang had high hopes for this.

It would be better if we could dig out a few old popsicles.

Experts from various industries who have mastered pre-war technology are far more important to the alliance at this stage than one or two black boxes...

Compared to Dawn City and Lida City, which are developing rapidly, Luoye City, located in the western border of the alliance, has a much lower sense of existence, but its development potential cannot be underestimated.

As a trade hub between Lua Xia Ting Province and the southern part of Hehe Ting Province, the most important infrastructure there is the train station and logistics warehouse.

Looking down from the air through the Hummingbird drone, almost half of the buildings and factories in the entire city are related to 㦳.

Although some wastelanders who migrated from the west can often be seen here, most people will not stay here for a long time and often use this place as a springboard to settle in Dawn City or Lida City.

Kaifeng City does not have any particularly beautiful achievements. The only thing that can be achieved for the time being is the population growth rate.

After all, after a while, active players in the desert can catch a group of slave-catching teams selling slaves from Borneo Province to the desert, or find a mutant tribe hiding in the ruins, and then open up the city. The population will grow.

This has put a lot of pressure on the small-scale Pioneer City, not only because of the population growth rate that can easily double, but also because it has the most extreme gender ratio in the entire league.

Just like there are far fewer chickens in a chicken farm than hens, most mutant tribes like the Blackstone tribe usually only keep a few male survivors with the most meat for breeding in the pasture, and not many of the rest are left. The sky will be thrown into the pot and stewed.

Most of the slave traders who deal with mutant tribes will not sell "worthless" male slaves here.

According to Lord Teresa's report, most of the survivors rescued by the Thorn Corps and players came from the Borneo Peninsula in the south of the great desert.

It seems that a serious man-made disaster is happening there.

But it is really too far there. The shortest way to get there from the Alliance is to take a boat to Silver Moon Bay in the Hump Kingdom before continuing south.

Or start from Kaifeng City and traverse the "Eastern Industrial Zone" and "Southern Industrial Zone" in the People's Federation era.

Therefore, although she sympathized with the suffering that the people there were suffering, Lord Teresa did not make unrealistic requests in her report.

All they can do at this moment is to attack the mutant tribes and slave traders near Pioneer City and excavate the ruins buried in the desert to strengthen their own strength...

The current population of Kaifeng City is close to 3,000, which has increased several times compared to the original three or so survivors.

Even the local conditions are still difficult.

No matter what, their lives are much better than before.

The cargo airships that regularly come from the east and the caravans that come from Bicester Town from time to time will also bring some new hope to this settlement that has grown up in hardships from time to time.

From Dawn City to Pioneer City, the four biological children of the Alliance have gradually learned to run from their initial toddler steps.

And Boulder City, which once belonged to the War and Construction Committee and is now under the jurisdiction of the Alliance, has also gotten up from its previous fall.

However, compared to other rapidly expanding settlements in the Alliance, the changes visible to the naked eye here are not astonishing.

The settlement is still so big, still so crowded and noisy.

The changes it has undergone are mostly invisible to outsiders and can only be experienced by locals.

For example, the air leaking house no longer leaks, the things that no one cares about are finally taken care of, the products on the shelves are more abundant, there are more people shopping, the public security is better, etc.

Through a bloody struggle, the local survivors finally made their lives what they should be, allowing the canned people to eat the canned food they produced, and that was it.

It's just that this sentence "that's all" is rare and precious to most settlements in the wasteland.

Although Chu Guang has been on the front line during this period, he is not at all unfamiliar with what is happening in various parts of the alliance.

Most of the alliance's administrative work is carried out through electronic terminals.

From the management of logistics to the planning of settlement buildings, digital management covers almost every aspect of the lives of alliance survivors.

Although it cannot reach the level where even a faucet was integrated into the global Internet of Things during the Era of Prosperity, there is no doubt that the wasteland can be considered advanced.

Therefore, even if Chu Guang often leaves the political center of the alliance, his grasp of the situation in various regions of the alliance will not be affected in any way.

As long as he can get in touch with the servo in the shelter.

Of course, since the focus of work some time ago has always been on the front line, even with the help of the convenient tool "digital municipal administration", Chu Guang still accumulated a lot of work during this period that he had not had time to finish.

There are both "dog planner" jobs and "manager" jobs.

But even the backlog is piling up.

Before returning to his "work station" in the browsing room on the B4 floor of the shelter, Chu Guang first went to Xizhou City, located in the northern border of the alliance.

It is home to the Alliance's largest research institution and institution of higher learning - even larger than the Biological Research Institute in Vault 79.

He promised Xia Yan that he would visit her when he returned.

not only that.

Also because Pai told him in a recent holographic phone call that Dr. Methods, the manager of Vault 101, had some feelings and wanted to talk to him.

It happened that Chu Guang also wanted to talk to him about the "Sacred Realm" and the "Torch", so he readily agreed...
