Chapter 21: Forty Years in the Wasteland

"I'm not kidding, I might really die when I go to Shadu this time." Link looked straight at Ah Fu.

Ah Fu also nodded violently: "I know, I am willing to follow the boss." ”

Of course, Ah Fu still has the second half of the sentence unspoken.

If you go to Shadu, you won't necessarily die, but if you stay here, he'll definitely be eaten up by marching ants!

Now that Ah Fu has made his own decision, Link didn't have much to say, and pouted his head and said, "Then clean up, we're ready to go!" ”

Ah Fu hurriedly began to pack his bags.

Meanwhile, Link returns to the cave and begins to explain things to the Silver Queen.

In short, there are two things.

Defend the Whistling Castle, and if you find anyone who wants to occupy it, you will drive the enemy away with the utmost determination.

The second thing is to let the worker ants start repairing the Whistling Castle.

After seeing the powerful building abilities of the marching ants, Link realized that with the abilities of the marching ants, it was completely possible to repair the castle.

I went to Shadu this time with a mission, and it is estimated that he will not come back in the short term, so I handed over the task of rebuilding my home to the marching ants, believing that after he comes back next time, he can see a brand new Whistling Castle.

The silver queen ant's antennae shake up and down, keeping in mind the owner's advice.

"Ah Fu, bring me an empty box."

After a while, Ah Fu ran over in two steps, holding a palm-sized iron box in his hand.

This thing was from the medical box and the logistics box, because it was convenient to load and classify things, and all of them were dismantled by Ah Fu.

This trip to Shadu is very dangerous, the marching ants are extremely capable, suitable for various environments, and you must bring some with you.

Worker ants, soldier ants, and flying ants, Link packed more than a thousand of each, and finally the tin box was full.

Covered with the iron box, there was a dense sound of metal colliding inside, and Ah Fu who listened to it had goosebumps all over his body and his body was numb.

Link knocked on the tin box, and there was silence in an instant.

All the marching ants went into 'hibernation', shrinking into metal 'droplets'.

"Well, let's put it up now."

Ah Fu stubbornly held the iron box with a few fingers, but he still didn't dare to completely contact the iron box full of marching ants, and carefully stuffed it into his backpack, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Link glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.

What I know is to watch him put a box in, and those who don't know think it's a bomb disposal expert.

Now it's just a marching ant that's scared like this, and if it's other more ferocious monsters in the future, maybe it's scared of something.

"After I'm gone, you ask the worker ants to seal the gap."

"The mechanical power arm on the ground, the medical kit, and the logistics box, these are all left for you to make food."

Link stretched out his index finger and tapped it lightly on the silver queen's head.

The two tentacles of the silver queen rubbed lightly on Link's fingers, a little reluctant.

"It's up to you."

With these metal remains to provide nutrients, it is believed that thousands more marching ants will soon be created.

Link and Ah Fu walked out of the cave, and the marching ants lined up at the mouth of the cave to say goodbye to Link.

As soon as Link turned around, he began to move the gravel and earth chips and seal the hole.

This wave of the Whistling Castle is a temporary stay, and Link has harvested unprecedentedly.

Walking in the secret passage, there is still a feeling of dream.

As a veteran player, know exactly what it means to hide the main quest on Wasteland and what it means to know A-rank commissions.

There are only four A-Tier missions in the entirety of Wasteland.

And the other three are all segmented tasks split from the main line, and only the task chain of the hidden main line is complete.

Let's take a look at the players who completed the A-level tasks back then, and the generous rewards directly pushed several people to the top of the 'Player Power List', until version 6.0 six years later, these people still did not fall out of the top ten, which shows the far-reaching impact of the main quest of the novice planet.

After getting the A-level commission, Link seems to have found the novelty and enthusiasm of the previous life when he first entered the game.

"Boss, do we have any plans when we get to Shadu?" Ah Fu followed behind with his backpack on his back, panting and asking.

Plan.

After Link received the Prince's A-class commission, he had already planned the entire Shadu.

There is a furrow in the chest.

"I'm going to go change and then have a big meal."

Ah Fu's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands: "It's worthy of being the boss, and he can come up with such a perfect plan." ”

Beneath Afu's swarthy skin was a mouthful of white teeth, and with a grin, Link felt that the road in front of him was a little brighter.

The height in the corridor was insufficient to fly, and the sand sculpture followed Ah Fu with two twisted legs and took a figure-eight step, and suddenly fell from a sky overlord to a fowl.

Perhaps too tired from walking, the sand sculpture looked at the underground river in the same direction as the corridor, and suddenly a bold idea came to him......

After a while, a figure gradually crossed the corner of Link's eye.

The sand sculpture actually learned to be a duck, sitting on the water and paddling with two paws.

The sand sculpture also turned its head and swept over Ah Fu, the treasure hunt mouse, and Link in turn, as if to say, 'Look how easy you walk'.

Only Link is like a mirror in his heart.

Although the posture of the sand sculpture in the upper reaches of the water is very beautiful, the appearance of the two paws pedaling in the water below is really embarrassing.

"Boss, are you familiar with Shadu? It's the first time I've come to Shadu when I'm so old, I used to hear my family say that Shadu is a big city, and my dad wanted to do the coffin carrying business in Shadu, saying that he could make a lot of money! For this reason, we even prepared suits, sunglasses and leather shoes, but unfortunately it was ...... later"

Link understands that it's not that Ah Fu thinks of sad things again, but that he longs for the city that has haunted his ears countless times.

The closer you get, the more you look forward to it.

But what do you want to say about this......

Considering what to face next, the real Shadu and the Shadu that Afu expects should be worlds apart.

"You've lived in a desert tribe before, and you've never been out of the desert, have you?"

Ah Fu nodded repeatedly, all the things about the outside world were learned from the other people of the tribe.

And the people of the tribe also learned about the outside world from the mouths of the merchants who passed by, and did not see it with their own eyes, so they had longing and fantasizing.

Link decided to take this opportunity to give Afoko a glimpse of the history of Wasteland and the current situation.

"You know why our planet is called a wasteland, right?"

For the history he knew, Ah Fu hurriedly nodded: "I know this, because the two superpowers dropped countless nuclear bombs on the day of reckoning, and the ecological environment of the entire planet was fatally destroyed, so the remaining survivors called this day the day of reckoning in order to remember this great war, and also used a new calendar, and our planet was also renamed Wasteland." ”

"What else do you know?"

"I also know that while nuclear radiation destroys the ecology, it also changes some people's bodies, and has incredible abilities, and the super energy system is born. Then I knew about the Wasteland Gang formed by the warlords, and the Cult of the Mechanicus that took people to use as batteries, but I didn't know anything else. ”

Link followed Ah Fu's words and said, "After the reckoning day, the old rules are broken. Strength determines power, and resources lay the foundation. As a result, the various warlords of the desert began to become independent, established themselves as kings, and fought endlessly. ”

"In the North, the original country was torn apart by the catastrophe, and the underground shelters built during the Cold War sheltered many survivors. The underground ecology with the city as the core is reconstructed. After the nuclear clouds lifted, people gradually came out of their shelters, rebuilt the cities, and returned to life on the surface, and the cities were restored to connect with each other. In order to resist new challenges, the old regime and the new elite formed a new type of union, the Free Federation, with three cities as the main body and countless small satellite cities as supplements. ”

"The three main cities of the Free Federation are Dragon City, Faye and the end point of our trip - Shadu."

Ah Fu listened attentively, and couldn't help asking, "Boss, what are the new challenges you are talking about?" ”

"You already know the Wasteland Gang and the Mechanics. After the establishment of the Free Federation, the warlords of the desert melee sensed the danger and established the Wasteland Gang in a decent manner, and their strength increased greatly in order to seek greater benefits. ”

"The Mechanics is the crazy idea of a group of mad scientists during their time in the Vault, believing that the outside world is no longer suitable for human life, so they try to transform their bodies into machines. Among them, Dr. Zhao, a genius of the sky, successfully replaced his parts except the brain with a machine, and discovered that the brain can create a steady stream of biological energy in dreams. ”

Later, Dr. Zhao was banished from the vault because he forcibly conducted inhuman modification experiments on others during his research. After that, he preached his ideas through the radio, which was recognized by many people, and gradually established a force in the Gobi, which was the Cult of the Mechanicus. ”

Link paused for a moment and continued: "There are many extreme ideas like that. ”

"The self-proclaimed new human [Brotherhood] wants to kill all ordinary mutants."

"It is believed that the gods sent down the day of reckoning to punish mankind, technology destroyed the world, and admired the [crusades] that followed the tradition of ancient times."

"The background is mysterious, and the [Academy] that produces and studies mutants."

"There are also quite a few mysterious creatures that we used to think only existed in fantasy stories......"

Ah Fu's mouth was big enough to fit a fist.

After hearing these appalling stories, I adore the boss even more.

The boss is a real cow beer, he knows everything, and the head of the talk is the Tao.

The sand sculpture that slipped along the underground river to the front made a rough cry, and the sound was heard back into Link's ears along the tunnel.

Shadu, arrived.

The sand sculpture follows the underground river to the end, with a closed iron gate.

Two minutes later, Link and Ah Fu also came to the iron gate.

The iron door was rusty, and there was a large handlebar-like wheel in the center.

Groundwater diverted from here, out of a large hole in the wall, and the sound of a rattle seemed to flow somewhere.

Link glanced back at Ah Fu and suddenly said:

"Take off your pants!"
