At the entrance of the town, Zhao Xiaochuan asked Big Ear about some recent things in the town and in the wasteland, and then entered the wasteland alone.

Collecting all kinds of information, this is a habit that Zhao Xiaochuan has cultivated since childhood, even if nine out of ten pieces of this information are useless, but as long as one of them is useful, it will be enough.

"What the hell is this Li Shan doing? What exactly did he bring back? This person doesn't seem to be a treacherous person, but..."I don't know why, Zhao Xiaochuan felt that this Li Shan was a little weird from the beginning, and he looked decent, but he always gave people a feeling of unreality. So even that day in the valley, he had never trusted Li Shan, and he had always been vigilant in his heart.

"Gang seizures, trials, acid possums, Li Shan, and this Vault Special Advisor. Why is it that winter is approaching, and all of a sudden there are so many things going on in town? Zhao Xiaochuan had a slight headache, if it was on weekdays, even if something happened in the town, it would be a big deal to drill into the wasteland by himself, and then go back in a month or two.

But seeing that there is still more than a month to go through the winter, the winter wasteland is not a joke, and at that time, even Zhao Xiaochuan will not leave the town easily.

And these things don't seem to have anything too directly related to Zhao Xiaochuan, but they can all be related to him. And what he cared about the most was the task given to him in the shelter to participate in the trial work. The commander has a certain right to recruit for the jurisdiction of his refuge, and if Zhao Xiaochuan doesn't want to cause trouble, he can only complete the tasks assigned to him by the refuge.

"I still know too little information, but unfortunately although one of the Scout Bugs has sneaked into the shelter, it has always been only in the breeding area, and I can't get any key information." When Zhao Xiaochuan was in the town, he was often able to contact the scout bug in the shelter, after all, although the scout bug was in the shelter, the shelter was underground, and the straight-line distance from Zhao Xiaochuan was not more than 500 meters.

But unfortunately, the Scout Bug has never had a good chance to leave the breeding area, so it can only wait for the opportunity.

After leaving the town, the connection between Zhao Xiaochuan and the scout insect in the shelter was also cut off because of the distance.

"In any case, the most important task at the moment is to search for prey." Zhao Xiaochuan walked towards the wasteland and scattered all the seven scout insects that were still around.

The Scout Bug that had been killed in front of the Vault had been replenished over time.

And these seven scout insects also flew out and began to look for the fierce beasts near them that could provide energy points for Zhao Xiaochuan.

But...

Nothing.

"! Those grandsons are too brute, right, they didn't even leave me a rabbit hair? ”

A dozen hunting squads had roamed around the town before, and the few fierce beasts in the vicinity had long since been swept away by them, and they were roasted and eaten on the fire.

After searching for more than half an hour, Zhao Xiaochuan found at least three or four red-eyed gray rabbit nests, but they were all empty.

The natives had already gone into the bellies of those hunting squads.

"Damn, I'll have to go farther away, Ash!" Zhao Xiaochuan was helpless for a while, so he could only summon Xiao Ash and ride it to the depths of the wasteland.

"Scout bugs, keep up."

I have to say that the Scout Bug is worthy of being a 10 energy point card, especially after upgrading to two stars, both in terms of speed and concealment ability, it is very strong.

The speed of the flight can even catch up with Xiao Ash, and some of them are at ease, and they don't use all their strength.

"Continue to disperse, look for beasts to hunt nearby, and let me know if anything unusual happens."

........

Oasis.

Recently, the oasis has welcomed a lot of guests, from the beginning Zhao Xiaochuan took Zhou Tian and others to camp in the oasis, to the other hunting teams in the back in order to hunt two-headed cattle, and many came to the oasis to replenish water resources. Until now, a group of shelter guards dressed in black guard uniforms and armed with rifles have once again come to the oasis.

And among the guards of this team, a man who was dressed somewhat like Chen Tianqi, but with a more advanced uniform, was arguing with a loosely dressed, more ordinary man.

"Mr. Zou, isn't this area a bit big? Shall we continue to compress the trial area a little more? ”

The man dressed somewhat similar to Chen Tianqi was none other than the captain of the Vault 93 Guards, that is, Chen Tianqi's top boss, Yang Cheng. A week ago, he was ordered to lead a team with Mr. Zou, who came to Vault 77 and claimed to be a "biogeology scholar", to find a suitable place for trials near the shelter.

"Big? In the past, the trial site was larger than this, and I think this field is really good, the quality of the beasts is not high or low, and there is an oasis in the middle where the participants can replenish their water resources and rest. When I came out before, Captain Yang made a package ticket with your shelter commander and said that he would cooperate with me. "Mr. Zou looks like a man who is powerless, but his mind is full of knowledge, and he has a high level of attainment in studying the geology and beasts of the wasteland.

In fact, after the cataclysm, there are very few people who specialize in knowledge, especially in remote shelters like Vault 93, almost all of them are the supremacy of force, in their eyes, as long as they have the strength, they can directly slaughter the beast, and knowledge is not important at all.

But what these people don't know is that in some large shelters, and even human cities, there is a kind of existence that specializes in the study of various fields of knowledge, and is called "scholars".

And in large shelters and cities, scholars are a presence that is respected by many. Even in Vault 77, there are a group of experts in various fields like Mr. Zou.

They may not have the force and are weak, but in some respects, they can play a role even stronger than ten or a hundred warriors.

"Mr. Zou, it's not that I don't cooperate with you..."Yang Cheng's face was helpless, although he didn't look down on this kind of weak scholar, but at this time he could only persuade with good words: "I'm afraid that the manpower of the guard team will be insufficient, although the commander will recruit some civil forces in the town to participate in the assistance, but that group of people... Not at all. At that time, the trial area will be too big for us to take care of, and it will be bad if something goes wrong. ”

"Running low on people in town?" Mr. Zou frowned: "Don't worry, the trial itself has a certain degree of danger, and you can't blame it if something goes wrong, and the leader of our working group has also considered this problem, knowing that the strength of Vault 93 is lacking, so our Vault will send some soldiers to escort the people involved in the trial here to maintain the trial area with you." ”

"What!?" Hearing Mr. Zou's words, Yang Cheng was immediately shocked.

You know, Vault 77 is the strongest vault in the nearby area, and the soldiers under its command are not like their guards, they are real warriors.
