[Mission: Go to the Action Camp]

[Introduction: Thank you from the bottom of my heart!] Volunteers from Outpost 404! The reinforcements escorting you to the camp have arrived at the north gate of the Wetland Park, and we have prepared a warm barracks for you ten kilometers away, so please come with us now! 】

[Requirements: Follow the crew of the "Trailblazer" to the operation camp and start the follow-up mission.] 】

【Reward: 10 Event Points】

The north entrance to the outpost.

The players are ready to assemble, not at all like laborers who are going to move bricks, but more like going on an outing.

The players who did not get the qualification looked at it with envy. Especially when I heard these people say that when they get to the destination, they will get 10 points, and they are even more envious and jealous and want to cry!

"Is it reasonable to have 10 points for opening a map?"

"As soon as the expansion was opened, the gap was forcibly opened, is this reasonable?"

"Unreasonable! It's so unreasonable! ”

"Call Planner Dad!"

However, it is of no avail.

Those who are in line are the majority, and those who are not in line are in the minority.

Fang Chang, who was standing in the team of the European Emperor, said with a smile: "Brothers, don't panic, let's go to the front to explore the way for you first!" If there is anything good, I will update it on the forum as soon as possible! When you come, you won't have to cross the river by feeling the stones! ”

As soon as the mole in the canyon that did not line up heard this, he immediately shouted.

"Gan! Are you embarrassed? The stones are all for you to touch alone! Anyway, don't you have a copy of it? Seven days of priority exploration! ”

Fang Chang smiled: "What's the fight, how can the dungeon have a new map fragrance?" Why don't you help me fight for three days first? ”

The mole on the run in the canyon: "Get out! ”

In the distance, a pitch-black power armor appeared in the snow-covered forest and walked towards the north gate of the outpost.

Walking outside the market at the north gate, Chu Guang held the right hand stretched out by Captain Lu Yang, shook it and said with a smile.

"My residents, please."

Lu Yang's face was solemn and serious, and he promised seriously.

"I swear by my honor and credit score that I will keep each and every one of them safe!"

What Chu Guang actually wants to say is that you don't have to work so hard, if someone is accidentally killed, it won't be in the way, just give a pension.

Not much.

1000CR is enough.

But what is a credit score?

At this time, the young players standing around noticed that the beggar version of the armor on their manager was gone, and was replaced by an exoskeleton that was expensive at first glance. There was still a hammer on his back, but next to the hammer there was a handsome rifle.

It's a wasteland, though!

Of course, what surprised them the most was that their manager actually changed his equipment again!

"I'm giao! You can look at the exoskeleton of the manager! ”

"Huh? When did he change his gear?! ”

"Good guys, Fallout 2077 has become Cyber 2077!"

"Look, you haven't seen the world before, didn't Brother Mole analyze it on the forum before? The game's NPCs will increase as the player's behavior increases! A wave of rational analysis must be because of our hard work, so that the manager has a new skin! ”

"Yes! This game is too real! ”

"Brothers, work harder to get the manager to wear power armor!"

"Ollie!"

The captain and the manager were talking, and Luo Hua, who was standing next to him and waiting to send them away, glanced at the unresponsive VM, and said with a sad face.

"How does this translation function sometimes work?"

Ace: "......"

Luo Hua: "Hey, what do you say they are talking about?" ”

Ace: "......"

Luo Hua: "Aren't you curious at all?" Well, when I didn't ask...... I'm going to boil some boiling water and soak the freeze-dried food in a while. ”

Ace: "I want corn." ”

Luo Hua: "......"

Sending Captain Lu Yang and the players away, Chu Guang waved his hand at their backs, and suddenly noticed Luo Hua, who was not far away from him.

This guy is the type who can't keep his mouth shut at first glance.

With a slight movement in his heart, Chu Guang suddenly thought of an idea.

However, it is still too early to eat. He'll have something to do in a while, and he'll talk about it when he comes back in the evening.

……

The 10-kilometer march in the wilderness takes about 200 minutes, and the road conditions are slightly easier than in the city.

In order to clear the snow from the road for the residents of the shelter, Lu Yang also brought an off-road vehicle with him, mounted a snow shovel in front of the bumper, and drove in front to clear the snow from the road.

The morale of the inhabitants of the Vault was quite high and their physical fitness was very high, and Luyan was worried about whether they would be tired, but later found that his worries were purely unnecessary.

200 minutes away, two hours to go.

Before 10 a.m., the group arrived near the "Pioneer" land travel fortress.

Looking at the four steel fortresses that were like mountains and connected to each other, many players had surprised and even excited expressions on their faces.

The broad and massive body sits on the wasteland, and behind the majestic tracks are ravines that stretch to the horizon, with no end in sight.

Whether it is grass or towering trees, whether it is a broken road or a deserted country house, there is a puddle of rubble at its feet.

There is no road ahead of it.

Walking through the place is the road.

Looking up at the majestic fortress, the [Knife Keeper] who was a civil dog, like the other players next to him, raised his head and his eyes widened.

In the face of such a magnificent engineering miracle, he only felt like a small primitive man, looking at unheard-of miracles.

Even if someone keeps reminding you that it's just a game, the immersive shock is not adulterated at all.

The Adam's apple moved for a long time, and he only squeezed two words out of his mouth.

"I rely on ......"

This is also shocking!

Standing not far from him, Ye Shi, at this time also tilted his head and said "I'm". However, the shock he felt was completely different from the one he felt under the knife.

“…… This expansion is also too good for Nima's conscience! ”

It's really rare to see a game that takes out good things during the closed beta phase.

Players follow the NPCs as they move on.

When they arrived at the operation camp next to the "Pioneer", they happened to see the huge land fortress, unfolding the structure like a gantry crane, using a mechanical cantilever to remove a container-like module from the body, and deploy it in the open space about five meters from the steel platform.

Dust is rolling.

The staff in gray coats stepped forward, pulled out an arm-thick pipe from the side of the fortress platform, attached it to the module that had just been deployed on the ground, and entered the parameters on the touchscreen.

Power input.

The equipment started working, but all I heard was a buzzing sound, and I didn't know what was going on inside.

The two survivors who were working as assistants next to Luca Sr. widened their eyes and exchanged shocked glances with each other.

"What's that?"

"Production workshop," happened to hear the conversation between the two, Captain Lu Yang smiled and said, "That should be a carbon dioxide trap, which produces starch and glucose." In the near future, we will also deploy a plant to produce long-chain alkanes and olefins. Finally, there is the production workshop for smelting alloys and machining. ”

"But this is not in a hurry, when your people finish resting and set off, it is okay for us to continue to deploy here!"

Deploying this modular production hall will kick up a lot of dust, and they will try to work when there are fewer people in the camp.

The two natives next to them looked at each other, completely unaware of what the man in the same tin can was saying, and did not understand why he waited for them to set off before continuing to deploy.

Luca Sr. understood a little, but only the second half.

As for what carbon dioxide traps, long-chain alkanes, olefins and the like......

Think of it as some kind of garbage that is more difficult to pick up.

……

The Action Camp where the players are stationed is located next to the Action Bastion, less than a hundred meters away.

All the barracks were "sprayed" out of heat-activated polymers, so it took only one night to build.

These houses look like concrete from a distance and feel like plastic, and although the texture is light, the strength is not bad at all, and they are quite warm and the sound insulation is also very good.

There are a total of 5 rows of barracks, the structure and layout are very similar to the kind of prefabricated houses on the construction site, divided into two floors, 22 single rooms on each floor, the size of the suite is 3×4m, a single bed and a folding table are more than enough, more spacious than the rooms in the shelter.

In addition, there is a public bath and toilet in the center of the barracks, which are separate between men and women, and a water tank on the second floor.

Counting the public area in the middle, the entire camp covers an area of 15 acres, which is equivalent to a playground with a runway of 400 meters, and the floor area ratio is still okay, and it even looks a little more spacious than the player's outpost.

Two quadcopter drones and two remote-controlled all-terrain tracked vehicles patrol the perimeter of the camp, tasked with clearing approaching corpse eaters or other threats.

Seeing Li De at the door of the barracks, Luca's expression was a little restrained, but thinking that he represented the administrator, he still straightened his back.

"Hello Dear Sir, I am Luca from Vault 404 and I extend my sincerest greetings to you on behalf of my master. During the partnership, I will be responsible for liaising with the residents of the Vault, and any needs you may have can be reached through me. ”

Although it was a little strange for the title of master to appear in the shelter, Li De didn't say anything.

The East Coast is not without slaves, and some lower-level employees in some businesses are nominally mercenary, but they are no different from slaves, and if they don't work, they will soon be cleared out of their dormitories, and once they are cleared out, they will die.

Of course, the benefits of middle-level employees are still okay, let alone mixed to his level.

The Silver Wings spent a lot of money to prepare for the First Pioneer Corps, and their standard of living was almost the same as when they were on the East Coast, even better than when they were there.

The only fly in the ointment is that it is far from home.

Looking at old Luca, Li De nodded.

"I have learned about the situation from the liaison, and my colleagues will connect with you for the next work arrangement."

As he spoke, the man standing next to Li De smiled and took the initiative to stretch out his right hand.

"Hello, my name is Werther! It's been a pleasure working with you! ”

Old Lukka quickly took his hand and shook it.

"Hello! My name is Luca ......."

"I just heard, take it easy, I'm out of the vault too, but it's been a few years. You can make this your home, and you can contact me if you have any questions. Werther squeezed his eyebrows, looking like a funny man.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, I'll have to rush our engineers."

Leed patted Werther on the shoulder, then nodded to old Luca again, and left with Captain Lujan on the side.

Old Luca's expression was a little reserved.

He wanted to say that he didn't come out of the vault even though he had a VM with him, but it felt like it was a bit redundant to say that.

However, Werther didn't care, and very competently took out a folding computer from his pocket, pulled open the flexible screen sandwiched in the middle, and began to hand over the operation barracks that had just completed construction with him.

"Long story short, this camp is yours now. During the cooperation period, we will take care of your safety and our water truck will also deliver water to you free of charge. There are plumbing pipes in the barracks, which are connected to the boiler of the central functional facilities of the camp, which is very useful, just boil the water, and the waste heat can also be used to heat the water for bathing. However, we are only responsible for delivering water, and as for the firewood or coal used to boil the water, I am afraid you will have to figure it out yourself. ”

"But this is easy to solve, the most important thing in the vicinity is wood, and the section to the west is a forest. But I'd advise you to try to go east, as our fort has bulldozed a lot of wood along the way here, and it can be used if you recycle it. ”

"Also, it's today's work. Our scouts found an underground garage in a community hospital in an abandoned town north with the wreckage of about 2,000 cars of high recovery value. We need to remove their frames, doors, wheels and hoods, as well as the suspension...... In short, all metals that can be recycled. ”

"Our Marines cleaned up the xenomorphs there, and your job is to use the equipment we provide to cut and disassemble the recyclable parts of the vehicle, and then press the removed parts into squares with a pressure device and load them onto our transporters."

"Because of the terrain, our transports can't go deep into the city, and the roads there are so bad, you can see when you go. In short, it is about 800 meters from the community hospital to the resource point, and this distance may have to be transported by hand cart. ”

"That's all for work, I'll let you know if there's a new arrangement. It's 10:15, and you can settle your people first. We left on time at 12 noon and returned at 6 p.m. There's no time to eat during this time, so you'd better prepare dry food. ”

"If there are materials that need to be purchased, you can count them to me. You guys now have a budget of 600CR and today's payout will be settled at 12 a.m. ”

Lukka nodded.

"No problem."

……

The players were quickly assigned rooms.

As soon as the cookware arrived, Lukka posted a mission, recruited several life pro players, set up a cauldron in the middle of the barracks, and started to make a fire to cook.

At this time, the water truck responsible for delivering water happened to drive over, using a pressure pump and a water pipe to inject water into the water tank in the center of the camp.

When filling the water tank, two drivers from the logistics department took two buckets of freeze-dried food from the car and poured boiling water into them.

This kind of food is very convenient, you can eat it with boiling water, there are carbohydrates, proteins and vitamins, it is hygienic and nutritious to eat, and there are five flavors to choose from.

Usually if there is still work to be done in the afternoon, and they are too lazy to make an elevator back to the fortress, they will use this thing for a meal.

In fact, they had heard that the logistics department had planned to deploy mobile kitchens on the ground, but the residents of these shelters actually refused, saying that it would be better to send them money directly.

I wonder what these blue coats think!

In short, hearing that the allies said they would cook their own meals, their boss who slammed the door canceled the plan to deploy a mobile kitchen.

After all, most of the time, their men ate in the fortress, and only on rare occasions did they come out on duty.

For the lunch of a few people, it is really not worth it to put a big guy down to cook, so it is better to send some money to send it away.

Lean against the door of the waterwheel.

The two drivers chatted as they watched the shelter residents cooking in cauldrons, waiting for the freeze-dried food to bubble up.

"What are they doing?"

"Like peeling potatoes? Is that a potato? ”

"I heard it's called a croissant, probably a mutated potato...... You see, they started boiling water. ”

"Cooking with firewood? It's really primitive enough, so let's use an electric stove. But then again, why don't they throw the potatoes directly in the pot, but on top of the pot? ”

"Maybe it's to get the potatoes cooked with steam...... I suddenly wondered, can the food made in this way be delicious? ”

The two suddenly glanced at each other tacitly and said in unison.

"I'll go swap them out." X2

……

There was a long queue at the camp.

The scrambled eggs with tomatoes in the spoon stood in front of the pot and shouted.

"One for one person, everyone has it, don't cut the queue and don't panic! We're all early access expansions! Don't let the OB sand sculptures in the forum see the jokes. ”

Finally arrived, and WC really had mosquitoes holding a lunch box in their hands, and they were moved to tears.

"I miss it so much! It's been a long time since I've eaten a big pot of rice made with tomato scrambled eggs! ”

Ye Shi, who had just received his share, also sighed.

"Hey, nostalgia +1, which version did you start with, and our esteemed manager doesn't care about eating?"

WC really has mosquitoes holding lunch boxes and said.

"I remember! After the Alpha 0.3 version made the currency system, you have to spend money to buy food! I really miss it, everyone didn't know how to cook at that time, so I bought a potato and squatted in the square to hold and gnaw! ”

"Yes, yes, haha, I remember! Later, after the North Gate Market was drawn out, there were life professional players who came over to sell stews. ”

"It's a pity that Boss Crow doesn't sell mushrooms where you can see villains."

"Speaking of which, what about the Raven Boss?"

"I guess I didn't grab it, she never caught up with the good things."

At this time, two NPCs in gray coats walked over, and it seemed that they were the same two who had just driven the water truck.

"Hey."

One of them raised his hand and greeted him in a friendly manner.

Mosquito and Yashi glanced at each other and looked at the two of them.

"What for?"

One of the NPCs pointed to the uneaten bowl of lunch in Yashi's hand, and then pointed to the bucket of "instant noodles" in his hand, and said something in a whisper.

Although I can't understand it, even the body language can be understood by monkeys, and with the expression and tone, there is basically no problem at all.

Mosquito: "He seems to want to trade with us?" ”

Night Ten: "To change or not to change?" ”

Mosquito: "Nonsense, change!" Why not? Taste what their food tastes like. ”

Night Ten's eyes lit up: "Good idea!" ”

The two players happily handed the lunch box in their hands to the two NPCs who were boiling the water truck, and then took the instant noodles in their hands.

Thanking each other in their own words, the two NPCs quickly slipped away.

Yaju and Mosquito ignored them and couldn't wait to lift the lid on the instant noodles.

"What do I see inside?"

"Instant noodles? Doesn't it seem to be? ”

"Damn! How many dried vegetables did they put in them? What are these things? ”

"There is a serious suspicion that they mixed noodles with freeze-dried vegetables!"

"But it smells pretty good."

"The mashed potatoes without scrambled eggs are delicious! Hey, it's a pity, Fuji Teng isn't here, since Brother Scrambled Eggs didn't cook and went as a butcher, she hasn't eaten it for a long time, right? ”

Taking the lunch box from the hands of the two shelter residents, the two NPCs opened it as if they had found a treasure, and clumsily dug a lump of mashed potatoes with a wooden spoon and stuffed it into their mouths, with a look of surprise on their faces.

"Well, that's good!"

"Not bad, not bad!"

"Mash the croissants and mix them with soy sauce and minced meat? It's a bit like a potato, but it's not like it, it's amazing. ”

"This stew howls too! What kind of meat is it, exactly? ”

"it! Anyway, it's much more energetic than plant-based meat! ”

The two of them devoured it all, and they looked unsatisfied.

After returning the lunch box to the shelter residents, they looked at each other and immediately reached a consensus, quickly went back to receive two more buckets of instant noodles, and happily found the shelter residents who had just received the lunch box, and made the same gesture as before, trying to fool the lunch box in their hands.

It was the first time for the players to see such a strange thing, and they didn't think about refusing at all, so they decisively handed the lunch box in their hands to the NPC.

After gobbling up again, the two NPCs finally returned to the waterwheel this time satisfied, and drove the long-empty waterwheel back to the garage outside the camp, next to the "Pathfinder".

"It's the first time I've eaten such delicious food after being away from the East Coast for so long!"

"Me too! Compared to that croissant mashed potato, those dried vegetables are rubbish! Tui！ ”

"Agreed! Why can't we cook a little bit of food in our kitchen? Is it hard to upgrade the program? We can grow potatoes! ”

While counting the supplies that were about to be handed over to Vault 404, Li De happened to hear the conversation between the two people who came out of the garage, and his expression was slightly stunned.

Mashed croissants?

Dried vegetables are garbage?

What the hell are these two idiots talking about?
