This Game Is Too Realistic

The long night finally passed.

When the sky in the distance became hazy and bright, and the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone on the smoke-filled street, sitting behind the sandbag wall, Bit finally let go of the worries in his heart and relaxed the tension he had felt all night㱕shoulders.

Two hours ago, there were sporadic nibblers wandering towards their position, but now the entire position was silent, and not even a gunshot was heard.

From the machine gun fire point not far away, thunderous snoring gradually came from the place. Some soldiers who couldn't bear the fatigue even fell asleep with their eyes open.

This is their first time on the battlefield.

Bit glanced at his right hand in disbelief, and then at the bloody and bloody battlefield around him. His heart was so full that he could not speak.

them……

Surprisingly survived!

This is incredible.

At this time, the sound of boots squeaking on the cement floor came from behind.

Still in a trance, Bit was suddenly startled and suddenly woke up. He picked up a stone from the ground and threw it to his comrade not far away, trying to wake the guy up.

Those regular army guys originally disliked these criminals. There's no telling what would happen if the supervising team members found them asleep on the battlefield.

No one would sympathize with them even if they were shot dead.

The stone hit the sleeping brother's head without any bias, but the guy was so asleep that he didn't wake up, and even snored louder.

Just when Bit was anxiously planning to do something, a hoarse voice came from behind.

"Let him get some sleep."

Looking at the combat supervisor who came to the shooting bunker, Bit's Adam's apple twitched and he didn't dare to speak. He expressed his gratitude with his eyes.

The war supervisor didn't care. He took out a box of cigarettes from his coat and shook out two cigarettes. He held one in his mouth and handed the other to him.

"Smoke?"

Seeing the cigarette being handed over, Bit was stunned for a moment, but he still reached out and subconsciously took it.

"Thank you."

"You are welcome."

The war supervisor grinned, took out a match, lit the cigarette he was holding on his mouth, and then handed the matchbox to Bit.

Looking at the man whose fingers were trembling for a while before lighting the match, he cast his gaze on the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​bones in front of the position.

Exhaling a puff of green smoke, he stretched out the wrinkles between his eyebrows and spoke slowly.

"This year's wave is over."

"We won this war, and it was a complete victory. There will never be another one in the future...whether it's a wave or any other mess."

Bloodthirsty monsters, violent mutants, cannibal predators, and gangs that gather at the foot of the giant wall to engage in illegal activities...

They have completely expelled all the evil that was born in the wasteland from Qingquan City. Today will be the beginning of an unprecedented event.

Bit smoked silently, looking at the scattered smoke, his thoughts in his heart were confused.

In the past three months, he had been either working in the mines or preparing for this war. He had no free time to think about the future.

Now that the war was over, he had to think seriously about what to do in the future.

Only then did he suddenly realize that he seemed to know nothing. He had never lived in a normal society for a day, and he simply did not have the skills to make a living in a normal society.

and……

This year's wave has ended so quickly. Will the alliance really fulfill its original promise?

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel panic in his heart, and his fingers couldn't help but tremble while holding the cigarette butt.

Seemingly seeing through his thoughts, the combat supervisor grinned and started talking.

"Be happy, you didn't run away when facing the wave, and fought bravely for the compatriots behind you. You have proved your part as human beings. Compared to the predators, you are still saved. It’s worth our helping hands.”

After a pause he continued.

"My superiors asked me to tell you two things about your future."

As soon as Bit heard this, he said quickly.

"I'll go get everyone!"

He stretched out his hand and turned around to ask for a bit, then the war supervisor continued.

"It's not that troublesome. I'll leave it to you. You can discuss it with them later and make a decision after thinking it through."

"Ting... Then tell me."

Bit nodded, swallowed nervously, and watched the war supervisor listen carefully.

The war supervisor continued.

"Your last task is to clean up the piles of corpses on the streets and move them to our designated location before they rot. This work will last about a week, and then you can leave the punishment camp."

"As for leaving the punishment camp, my superiors have given you two options. One is to disband on the spot and return the guns to the organization. You can go wherever you want in the future, whether it is leaving the alliance or reporting to the homes of refugees. Yes. Another option is to join the Southern Construction Corps and go to Jinchuan Province to open up wasteland and build your own homeland."

The former sounds easier.

Although there is no Alliance citizenship, the Alliance is not as exclusive as the early Stone City. As long as you report to a refugee's home, learn a trade as a "supervisee", and then go to the industrial zone to find a stable job and obtain a tax ID number, you will be able to become a citizen of the Alliance in a short time.

This is because he does not have a single livelihood skill.

If you have the skills to make a living, you can even skip the step of being a refugee, as long as there is a factory willing to pay you a salary that meets the tax standard.

But if no factory is willing to hire him...

Thinking of this, Bit's heart couldn't help but tighten. If that's the case, he feels that if he can't handle it, he will take desperate measures and go back to the same old path.

No--

That's almost certain to happen.

As if he had seen his future, Bit silently smoked the entire cigarette, calmed down, looked at the war supervisor and spoke.

"I choose the latter."

It seemed that he had guessed that he would choose this way.

The war supervisor smiled, finished smoking the cigarette, threw it on the ground and stamped it out, then reached out and patted the young man's shoulder.

"No matter how you choose, cherish your freedom which is not easy to come by. This is your life in exchange, so don't go in again."

"Next time, I won't be so lucky."

…

The price of victory is terrible.

The punishment battalion was reduced by 40%. When they went to the front line, there were more than 1,000 people. After one night, only more than 3,000 people were left alive.

Not just a penal camp.

The First Corps and the Militia Regiment also suffered a lot of casualties, but not as exaggeratedly as they were cannon fodder.

Not to mention the players.

As the vanguard of the alliance, they always appear in the most dangerous places and are at the forefront at all times.

A total of nearly 20,000 players participated in the brutal battle on the battlefield, and not even half of them survived.

For every survivor in Qingquan City, this is destined to be a sleepless night.

However, compared with the tragic sacrifice, their victory is infinitely glorious.

After two centuries of sinking, the survivors finally defeated the wave that was once considered invincible!

This is a difficulty that the Post-war Japanese Construction Committee and even the ancient People's Federation have never really overcome!

Their hands achieved this impossible miracle!

After hearing the good news from the front line, everyone's faces were filled with excitement, whether they were residents of Boulder City, residents of Dawn City, or Luoye City and Lida City.

People fired guns in the sky, drank and chatted, or embraced and celebrated, venting their joy of victory in cheers and shouts.

When Li Da dispersed the haze, almost everyone was cheering for the hard-won victory!

Not even just people!

Even the spore cloud that filled the sky over the ruins carried a trace of unprecedented lightness.

Less than a kilometer away from the giant wall, there is a half-collapsed hospital on the edge of the Second Ring Road, where a thousand-man team of the Boulder City Militia is stationed.

At this moment, the underground parking lot of the hospital is filled with scarlet slime mold.

There is an incubation room for mass production of spores and fruiting bodies.

It is here that large numbers of gnawers and crawlers set out, surging like waves against the defense line of human civilization.

If things were to be normal, if we wanted to end this annual wave, we would have to completely destroy these distorted incubators.

But this year is different from previous years.

The nest in the city center has long been captured by Xiaoyu, and the DNA related to invasion has stopped being transcribed. No new gnawing or crawling animals will come out of the incubator.

This is also the final proof that the wave has ended, apart from the decrease in spore concentration.

Looking at the rolling light red ocean, the adjutant wearing the 嗗-shaped exoskeleton couldn't help but exclaimed.

"This thing looks really scary."

In recent decades, charging towards the incubator has been the job of mercenaries.

Although he has been a member of the militia for several years, this is the first time he has seen a live hatchery outside of photos or holographic images.

It's not just him.

The same goes for the officers of other militia regiments. Almost every one of them had uneasiness written on their faces.

"Is it really okay to keep this guy?"

"What if one day it starts hatching those gnawing creatures again?"

"I always feel like it wants to eat me!"

Everyone exchanged glances and whispered quietly.

Listening to the whispers among the officers under his command, Joey, the leader of the militia group, coughed hard and interrupted the increasingly outrageous rumors.

Looking at the quiet crowd, he paused for a moment and said.

"The management's statement is that he plans to designate an 'ecological protection zone' near Shelter 401 and move the hatcheries and fruiting bodies in the urban area [there]. The surviving animals in the eastern district of Qingquan City are relatively rare, and most of them are There are dangerous alien species living there, and Zheng Tuo can be used as a pilot."

He had never heard such a strange word before, the adjutant asked after being stunned.

"What is the ecological reserve...?"

This word was definitely not a rare thing two hundred years ago, but it was definitely an advanced concept in the wasteland.

"Probably...a settlement where slime molds and people live in harmony?"

Joey actually didn't know much about it, so he could only try to understand it while trying to explain it to his confused colleagues.

"For example, people live in Mushroom."

Obviously, his one-sided understanding not only failed to explain everyone's doubts, but had the opposite effect.

An officer was stunned for a long time, then came back to his senses and shook his head with a wry smile.

"This is so weird."

The other officer did the same. He looked at the scarlet ocean not far away, swallowed his saliva, and nodded with deep understanding.

"...I would never stay with that thing, don't even think about it."

Joey shrugged.

"What are you talking about? The ecological reserve is currently only open to residents of the refuge. You have to apply first if you want to go in and take a look... I think it doesn't really matter, as long as they don't grow mushrooms on the giant wall, they can control it for a year. One wave is already pretty good, or maybe you have a better way.”

The officer coughed uncomfortably.

"Of course I unconditionally agree with the management decision..."

"Me too."

Joey nodded, turned his gaze to the scarlet colony of bacteria that was fading little by little, and slowly continued.

"We have tried all possible methods, whether it is fire or chemical reagents... Even if their plan seems a bit unbelievable, we can only give it a try now."

His view is actually quite optimistic.

It's not because of blind trust in the manager himself, but because biotechnology is indeed the alliance's strength. That adult will definitely consult experts in related fields when making decisions.

With the alliance's current unity, there is absolutely no reason for the alliance's experts to fool him, and they will probably give truly appropriate suggestions based on their conscience.

Since so many people think it is not a big problem from their own professional point of view, Joey feels that this ecological reserve can still be looked forward to.

They have nothing to worry about anyway.

The worst result is that the wave that has lasted for two centuries will continue to fall.

If they succeed, they will open up an unprecedented path, which may be an opportunity to end the entire wasteland...

At this time, a soldier came from a distance, stood in front of Joey and performed a military salute.

"Report! A group of traders is approaching the checkpoint we have set up. Their elected representatives would like to meet with you to discuss the issue of cleaning up the corpses of slime mold fruiting bodies."

Usually when the wave lasts, traders will come to the front line to wholesale corpses. This can be regarded as an old tradition in Qingquan City.

Although the fruiting bodies of slime molds cannot be eaten directly, they still belong to the category of organisms and can more or less recover some nutrients.

Whether it is added into fertilizer or made into nutritional paste, it is a very useful material.

If left unattended for a long time, neither allowed to be eaten by nibblers nor recovered by incubators, these corpses will soon become a breeding ground for bacteria, and in severe cases may even cause a large-scale plague.

Therefore, Boulder City usually packages these corpses to merchants for disposal, and collects some chips as a bargain.

But this year is different from previous years.

Before the wave began, the Boulder City Militia received instructions from the shelter. In the future, the slime mold fruiting bodies seized by the Alliance will no longer be packaged for private processing in the form of a franchise. Instead, the Alliance authorities will be responsible for recycling and Unified processing.

As expected, the remains of those fruiting bodies will be sent to the newly established ecological reserve for decomposition and use as materials for construction.

Looking at the soldiers delivering the order, Joey gave the order concisely.

"Tell those merchants that the remains of the fruiting bodies in this area have been taken over by the alliance authorities, and the alliance has a better use. If they are interested in taking over the transportation work, they can contact the Logistics Department. If they want to hunt those fruiting bodies and import bodies The idea was given up as soon as possible.”

The soldier gave a military salute, turned around and returned to the checkpoint at the entrance of the garrison, repeating the regimental commander's words to the merchants surrounding the door.

After listening to the soldier's words, the faces of all the merchants were filled with astonishment. You looked at me and I looked at you, exchanging glances.

What's the use of more?

Besides making nutrient paste and fertilizer, what else can that thing be used for?

Almost everyone can't stand it anymore.

…

A group of merchants from the wasteland scratched their heads and couldn't guess what the respected administrator planned to do.

Just when everyone was confused, the official website of "Wasteland OL" in another world suddenly updated an announcement.

[Wasteland OL closed test server Beta0.6 version update announcement! 】

[Big update:

1. The qualification for closed beta testing has been increased from 30,000 to 50,000!

[Introduction to the "Fruit Body Cultivation" System:

The Echao in the center of Qingquan City has been occupied by us, and currently all hatcheries in the city are under our control!

However, what troubles Xiaoyu is that it has never controlled so many fruiting bodies. These fruiting bodies designed for killing will show fruitful hostility to other organisms like wild beasts if they are not careful.

In order to avoid the waste of resources and for everyone’s sake, Shelter 404 is now recruiting a group of volunteers!

It requires an intelligence attribute of 㳔10 or above, or a bionic crystal element that enhances the brain's computing power is implanted!

Qualified players can apply for "control system" biological prosthetic transformation surgery through the VM terminal in the game. If the application is passed, the registration is successful! The shelter will arrange biological prosthesis implantation surgery for players after they log out.

After the operation is successful, the player can establish a conscious connection between the "control system" biological prosthesis and the specific fruiting entity, just like controlling a drone through a neural connection device to direct their actions.

The adoption fee for regular fruiting bodies is 100~10,000 silver coins, and the types include gnawing worms, crawling worms, butchers, tyrants, etc.

In addition to regular fruiting entities, players can also apply to adopt more powerful entities, including the "Decay Knight", by preparing their own synthetic materials and paying more fees!

You can even DIY according to your personal preferences if the gene pool allows it!

The shelter system will comprehensively calculate the cost of customization based on various factors such as the function of the entity, the organic matter consumed for production, and the incubation time.

It should be noted that the number of sub-entities that a player can operate at the same time is related to the intelligence attribute. Please refer to the researchers' suggestions and act according to your ability.

If the fruiting body is controlled, any damage and consequences caused will be borne by the adopter himself!

Not even half a minute after the announcement was issued——

The whole forum went crazy instantly!
