Long-term farmstead.

The heavy snow stopped a little.

The snow inside and outside the wall was enough to sink a person's calf in.

Two guards with Arbiter rifles on their backs, holding down four ragged prisoners of war, urged them to build a mound of dirt in the open space on the north side of the wall.

They sealed the mound with twigs, dead leaves, licorice, and the like, leaving only a small hole at the top and bottom, and then lit a fire.

The fire gradually ignited, burning from the bottom to the top, and in a short time smoke billowed out.

"Why are we lighting a fire at the north gate?" The slightly younger guard looked at the commander next to him, his face full of doubt.

The wrench replied meticulously.

"The manager's orders, we'll just do it."

To be honest, the wrench actually muttered in his heart.

With such a big smoke, aren't you worried about attracting nearby marauders?

In fact, the raiders are fine, but they are afraid that they will attract the homeless.

There is a war going on in the north, and this year's winter is not an ordinary hardship, even the deer know to go south, let alone people?

It's almost November.

It will be harder then than it is now......

But since it was the order of the manager, he didn't dare to ask more, so he just did it anyway.

……

[Server-wide announcement: Due to the adjustment of the new equipment value, the "Scythe" series weapons will be logged in to the NPC weapon store in three days, please do not be impatient if you are temporarily unable to redeem the prize. 】

It's not a bug this time, and it's given a clear time to fix it, and players aren't too anxious, only a few small players who have drawn the "sickle" are clamoring on the forum to make amends.

However, there are not many people who take care of them.

After all, the probability of winning the lottery is determined, most people are non-chiefs, and only a few are European emperors.

Does the Emperor still want to compensate?

Eat me not a spear!

……

The next day, early in the morning.

In the square of the outpost, a group of players gathered in the black press for the first time in a long time.

As is customary, after coming up from the ground, many players will stay here for a while to see if they can form a team, or find a big guy to take them.

It's not lively!

The elf king Fugui, who was carrying a hunting bow, walked to the crowd and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Did you take the 7 o'clock bus to Changjiu Farm? Agile players ask for a group and do hunting missions in the Elm area! Interested in private. ”

Irena: "Huh? Lao Wang? You're not going to brush up on the mole brother? ”

Elf King Fugui: "I'm not going today, the greenhouse ruins are too liver, thousands of moths are lying in the trough, I just want to be a hunter quietly and touch the fish." Boss, don't you do it together? ”

Irena: "I don't know that person, go find your boss." ”

The Elf King Fugui grinned and grabbed his arm.

"Don't go, old man! Together! ”

"Get out! I don't know you! ”

The two of them walked in the direction of the north gate.

The players who heard the conversation between the two whispered to the side.

"I heard that there seems to be a pack of mutated snow wolves in the Elm District recently?"

"It's not just a snow wolf! Near that crater, I even saw the Split-Claw Crab! ”

"Damn?! Then I'll have to stay away. ”

"Anyway, how much does the snow wolf skin cost?"

"The NPC Shop costs 1 silver more than the Hyena Skin, but it doesn't matter! The rattan hut bought a large number of pieces, a piece of skin for 4 silver coins, the color of the coat was as white as snow doubled, brothers rush quickly! ”

"I'm me, I'm going to take one!"

A hyena skin is only 1 silver coin, and a snow wolf skin is actually received by someone for 4 silver coins, which is simply more expensive than the previous deer skin!

I heard that the rich woman vine was in need, and the sensible little player had already changed into a hunting suit at the speed of light, and had a hunting bow and shotgun on his back.

Tail glanced at Siss.

"S! You know! ”

Sisi sighed.

"It's a snow wolf today, right? You wait for me to go back and change my clothes—"

"Snow wolf? That weak creature isn't worth a tail shot! With a snort, he took off his tail and put the iron fist bazooka on his shoulder, and said ostentatiously, "Hmph, what do you see I drew yesterday?" ”

Sis: "Wait...... Don't tell me you want to go to the claw crab. ”

Tail's eyes sparkled and gave a thumbs up: "Tail gave you a thumbs up!" ”

Siss: "??? ”

The procession to Elm grew larger, and even a certain large white bear came over and raised its fat right paw.

Raven decided to follow the big army and go there to join in the fun.

But not for hunting, but because the mushrooms near Linghu Wetland Park are almost finished by her.

In this game, mushrooms don't seem to be refreshed every day, so you can only try your luck on a new map.

In addition to those who do hunting and gathering missions, there are also some small players who go for exploration missions. There are many types of missions in the wasteland OL, from delivering couriers to moving bricks, from picking up garbage to running errands, even if you don't fight at all, you can still get silver coins and contribution point rewards.

"Explore the edge of Tianshui City...... Looking for a new survivor base," looking at the taskbar on the VM, the exoskeleton-clad [Spring Water Commander] rubbed his chin with his index finger and his eyes full of interest, "This quest sounds interesting. ”

Although he is in the Department of Intelligence, he has an exoskeleton and is not a big problem!

After a while, find a player in the perception system in the current row, even if it's a new one, it's no problem, anyway, even if you can't win, you will definitely be able to moisten.

Thinking of this, Izumi immediately walked in the direction of the weapon shop, intending to buy a weapon with the 200 silver coins he had saved with great difficulty.

Preferably an automatic rifle.

After all, the small water pipe with a six-round capacity is too incompatible with his own awesome exoskeleton.

However, what Quan Shui didn't expect was that when he walked to the door of the weapon shop, he found a circle of people surrounded by black pressure.

There are no fewer people here than there is on the other side of the square.

After a closer look, he realized that it was an auction?

And the auction thing is actually the manager's armor!

“…… What is currently being auctioned is the improved exoskeleton armor of the KV-1 that was once used by the manager. Although there are some scratches on the surface, it does not affect its performance, but it just shows its reliability. The manager said that he didn't need it anymore, but it was far from retirement, and he hoped that it would be able to use his spare energy for a great cause and help others in need, so I asked him to find a good home. ”

"Starting price - 200 silver coins!"

Boss Xia read it directly according to the manuscript.

After reading it, she also picked up the small mallet next to her and hammered it on the table in style.

Recently, Xia Yan had just learned pinyin, and Chu Guang simply asked her to preside over the auction, the reason was to let her practice her spoken English.

Although the pronunciation is choppy and a little less imposing, players don't care.

Who cares if Boss Xia is holding a small wrench or a small leather whip in his hand?

All they care about is the Administrator's roaring armor!

As soon as the gavel fell, someone immediately raised his hand and directly increased the price by one hundred silver coins, directly skipping the chase with a small score, and pulling the competition to a white heat.

Edge paddling: "400!" ”

Canyon on the run mole: "I'm out 410!" ”

WC really has mosquitoes: "I'll add another 50!" ”

The mole on the run in the canyon: "Gan! When did you use the equipment you bought? ”

Edge paddling: "That's it!" It's all hoarded! It's useful! ”

Makabar: "Get this mischievous mosquito out there!" (Broken sound)

WC really has mosquitoes: "Nonsense! What does it mean to hoard? I'm going to start leveling up recently, okay! And you old ba, you can't afford it! ”

Macabazi: "You're the eighth!" ”

The spring looked stupid outside the crowd.

Why are these guys so rich?

Take 300 yuan!

The auction site was noisy.

The little players who don't have money can't afford it anyway, so they all gather around happily to coax, watch the excitement, and eat melons.

Xia Yan yawned, only thinking that they were noisy.

What is so good about this armor that it actually catches up with her monthly basic salary.

Isn't it just a KV-1 that welded a few pieces of steel?

Although she couldn't afford it, she saw it with her own eyes last night, Chu Guang took the dagger and gestured on it, and said in a heartfelt way that his "players" liked this one, and said that every scar was a medal?

Only fools believe his nonsense.

Knocked on the gavel for the second time, and just when Boss Xia estimated that it was time to call it a day, a hand suddenly raised.

"Five hundred!"

Wow!

The surrounding players were surprised and their eyes widened.

Five hundred credits!

Who is so rich?!

Everyone looked towards it, and sure enough, they saw that the person who raised his hand was the leader of the cattle and horse squad.

Just as he was about to add 1 silver coin to disgust the mosquito, the mole brother had just raised half of his hand and took it back. As soon as he saw that it was Fang Chang, his nose suddenly turned crooked, and he complained with a sad and indignant face.

"Gan! Didn't you say you wouldn't rob me? ”

Edge stroke: "You archer want this heavy armor to use with wool!" ”

Makabazi: "Carry it out!" Carry it out! ”

Fang Chang smiled embarrassedly, looked at the mole brother and said.

"I'm sorry, brother, I didn't buy this heavy armor for myself, but a few of us pooled money together to buy it for the T in the team. Good stuff next time...... I'm definitely not going to rob you! ”

The mole on the run in the canyon: "I believe you are a ghost!" ”

Macaba gloated: "Hahahaha! Brother Fang is awesome! The mole's fur is bald! Hahaha! ”

Canyon on the run mole: "%¥#@!" ”

Lao Bai arched his hand and said politely: "I'm sorry, brother!" We will definitely pay you back this favor next time! ”

The mole sighed and shook his head.

"It's okay, next time you raise your cards early, I won't waste my expressions."

Seeing that Fang Chang raised the card, the mosquito also stopped.

He could have added it, but it wasn't necessary.

What are you robbing in a herd of cattle and horses?

Besides, he can't snatch it......

Looking at Lao Bai, who had changed into the same armor as the manager on the spot, the spring water in the OB next to him suddenly felt that his orange-yellow exoskeleton was not fragrant at all.

The "mass-sold models" that can be bought in the weapon store are not as strong as the "ancient inheritance" that has experienced the experience of war.

Those scratches are like medals of honor......

The spring was stunned for a moment, and the people around him didn't come back to their senses after they had finished.

At this moment, someone next to him pulled him by the arm.

"Brother? Is it disconnected, brother? ”

When I looked back, I saw mosquitoes.

Izumi was immediately alert and pulled his arm back.

"What for?"

Mosquito said with a smile.

"No...... What are you doing, I just want to ask, are you interested in installing the same armor as the manager? I can help you change it! ”

Izumi swallowed.

"How much?"

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, just charge a cost price, 200 silver coins!"

It's not expensive!

But......

Gritting his teeth, the spring finally showed up the VM and was ready to pay.

"200 yes! Are you sure it's the same as that? ”

Mosquitoes pat their chests and pack tickets.

"That's a must! Can I lie to you? I'm going to take minutes on that stuff - ahem, of course I'm going to have to take some time to make it. But don't worry, if you're not satisfied, Goblin Tech will get a full refund! ”

Spring: "......"

I always feel like I'm looking for the wrong person.

But it shouldn't be a big problem.

Anyway, the mosquito brother has said that the goods are not right and can be returned, in short, try the effect first......

……

Before eight o'clock, the morning fog gradually cleared.

Most of the young players in the outpost also dispersed, and they all went out to get their own business.

With the Land Voyage expansion coming to an end, things seem to be back on track.

The angler went to the lake with a fishing rod, and the brother who cut down trees and killed chickens took a group of little Mengxin to cut down trees happily.

Most of the hunters went to the new hunting grounds further north, while the scavengers carried woven bags to the "ninety percent new" 76th Street.

Just after the mutant tribe was eliminated, a large area was vacated, and the high-rise residences and shops along the street were simply a treasure trove in the eyes of the garbage pickers!

In the years that have been occupied by mutants, there should be very few wasteland people who dare to go in and loot, and it is estimated that they can pick up a lot of good things.

As for the high players, they are aiming for those who are more challenging.

Lao Bai, who changed into pseudo-power armor, equipped himself with a long-handled axe with a spearhead, and purchased a steel helmet from the No. 81 Iron and Steel Factory.

Heavily armed, he is more like a tin can than a manager.

As long as you cooperate well with your teammates, pay attention to your position, pull the line of fire and seal the cigarette, and deal with a few devil moths!

After the group was fully equipped, they marched towards the entrance of 76th Street with high morale, preparing to continue to fight the devil moth on the basement floor of the greenhouse ruins.

Brother Mole originally planned to go to the greenhouse ruins, but in the last version, he and his teammates had just raised money and bought the right to explore the second floor from the Cow and Horse Squad.

It's just that he suddenly received the task issued by the manager himself - to guide the subway entrance 1.2 kilometers away from Brown Farm!

According to the mission statement, the entrance to Vault 117 is hidden in the subway.

If you can find it and clear the xenos along the way from the subway entrance to the gate of the Vault, you will be rewarded with 1200 credits and trigger the next stage of the story.

Of course, this task is not an easy one.

At least four creepers are expected to appear inside, as well as more than two hundred nibbles. It is recommended to team up with at least 4~6 players above LV6, and it is highly recommended to bring a Perception player to serve as a scout position.

1200 credits reward!

When the mole heard this number, his eyes changed to the shape of a silver coin.

Without saying a word, he immediately took the "Black Swan" G9 assault rifle he had just drawn, pulled the mosquitoes who were about to work in the squatting workshop, and went to discuss important matters together.

Makabazi was also going to join in the fun, but at this moment, he suddenly received the task of the manager.

Arriving on the first floor of the sanatorium, he met the administrator who was waiting there.

Although he usually looks like a happy person, in the face of an NPC with a favorability setting, Macabazi immediately changed to a "reliable" expression and said respectfully.

"Administrator, are you looking for me?"

Chu Guang nodded and picked up a bag of corn seeds from the side.

These seeds are the improved early-maturing seeds he bought from the Pioneer, although the yield is not very amazing, but the advantage is that the growth cycle is short, and the climate requirements are not so strict, if the fertilizer is in place, it can be ripe in 70~90 days.

This bag of seeds weighs about five kilograms, and it should be no problem to plant two or three acres, not to mention that it can produce 600 kilograms of corn, and if you are optimistic, it may be able to reach 900 kilograms.

"The first floor of the greenhouse site has been attacked, and the cultivation tanks there can be utilized. I happen to have some seeds here, and I need you to plant them for me. ”

"This task is related to the food security of the shelter and is critical to our future development, and I hope you will take it seriously."

"If the emergence rate is good, I will assign you more important tasks. You can think of these seeds as a test. ”

As soon as he heard that the land had been planted, and there were follow-up tasks after it was planted, Makabazi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded immediately without saying a word.

"Leave it to me, Administrator, and I'll count these seeds as my life!"

Chu Guang smiled in his heart, still with a solemn expression on his face.

"Well, I'll leave it to you!"

[Mission: Sow corn and take care of the crops.] 】

Seeing the updated task on the VM, Makabazi straightened his back excitedly.

"We will not fail in our mission!"
