The person sent by the academy to hunt him down was here, and Yin Fang knew that there was no point in hiding it, so he happily confessed everything.

Half a year ago, the Academy received information that an abandoned pre-war research facility contained clues about Vault 0.

Without any hesitation, the academy immediately sent a scientific expedition team to investigate.

Originally, this was just an ordinary "archaeological" mission, and similar attendance tasks were held in the academy almost every day, but this mission had something to do with the clues in Vault 0.

However, no one expected that such an ordinary task would have an accident.

A brood not mentioned in the intelligence, hidden in the basement of the research facility, was besieged by a large number of slime mold xenomorphs such as gnawers, creepers, and even tyrants almost as soon as they passed through the floodgates of the ventilation chamber. After a hard battle, they finally withdrew, but only the head of the scientific expedition and the engineers accompanying the regiment survived.

"And then you became the one who took the blame?"

Chu Guang looked at the young man and said with a strange expression.

"But it doesn't make sense, this kind of decision-making mistake will never be your turn as an engineer to take the blame."

Yin Fang's expression was a little subtle.

At this time, Eugene, who was tied up, smiled and interjected.

"Your Excellency, don't be misled by his ambiguous statements, the academy has given us a commission to hunt down the defecting D-class prospectors. Engineer? Hehe, it's clear that he's the regimental leader. ”

“……？”

Chu Guang was stunned for a moment, staring at this young man for a long time, but he didn't see where this guy looked like a regiment leader.

Reading the fleeting surprise, Eugene smiled thiefly and continued.

"The size of the scientific expedition team is generally only about ten people, and it is more common for D-level and C-level explorers or researchers to lead the team, after all, field work is not a good job...... Tsk, although I'm not from the academy, I don't deal with people from the academy a lot. ”

Unexpectedly, he was actually exposed by a mercenary, Yin Fang argued in annoyance.

"I didn't say I wasn't the leader! Yes, I'm him, well, how about it? It's obviously a mistake in the information, but they have counted all the losses on my head, what can I do? ”

Eugene glanced disdainfully.

"I'm just explaining why there's a 5000CR bounty on your head, and it's my business to do your internal affairs. Besides, who knows what the truth of the matter is? The mouth grows on you, you can choreograph whatever you want, and those people won't come to life anyway. ”

Yin Fang stared at him deadly, clenched his fists, and his angry eyes seemed to erupt with fire. But obviously, this guy is not very good at arguing, and I don't know if everyone in the academy is like this, or if he is the only one.

I didn't expect this guy to be the head of a scientific expedition group.

+1 Risk.

Chu Guang had a headache, and after thinking for a while, he looked at Yin Fang and continued.

"And what are you going to do?"

A bitter expression appeared on Yin Fang's face, and he said after pondering for a while.

"I was going to go to Boulder, where there is a way to get to the East Coast. Whether it's by airship or by land with a caravan, as long as I get to the company's territory, even if the academy knows that I'm there, there's nothing I can do. ”

Chu Guang glanced at his right hand and said thoughtfully.

"There is a place where you can also escape from the academy."

Yin Fang seemed to have guessed.

"Do you mean to say your shelter?"

Chu Guang smiled faintly.

"Sounds like you're reluctant."

Shelters with full protection capabilities are the crystallization of civil air defense technology in the prosperous era, and theoretically it is almost impossible to attack from the outside.

At the same time, you don't have to worry about being found if you stay inside, and unless the administrator there wants it to do so, not a single floating-point information will flow out of it.

In terms of security, it's unbeatable there.

Yin Fang said cautiously.

"No, my lord, it's just ...... Can I trust you completely? ”

Chu Guang said in an indifferent tone.

"Do you have any other choice?"

Yin Fang was silent for a while.

Eventually, he gave up and slackened his shoulders.

"You're right, I don't have a choice."

Seeing that Chu Guang had reached a consensus with his entrusted goal, Eugene, who had a sense of crisis in his heart, hurriedly said.

"Your Excellency, you want to take in the fugitives from the Academy? That's not a good idea—"

"This is the province of the River Valley, not the territory of the academy."

Chu Guang interrupted him nonchalantly, looked over Eugene to Yin Fang, and continued.

"I'm intrigued by your abilities, it seems like you're going to be more than just surgical? Tell me what you can do. ”

"I can do surgery related to nerve connections, or some simple surgery." Yin Fang paused and continued, "To be precise, I'm not a doctor, the main job of the prospector in the academy is to archaeology the relics of pre-war civilization, recover valuable data and materials, and bring them back to the academy to be analyzed and restored by researchers. My business area is mainly related to neural connectivity, so I probably know a little bit about it. ”

"You know how to make biomimetic prosthetics?" Chu Guang asked with intense interest.

Yin Fang explained.

"There are many types of biomimetic prostheses, but the simplest ones that rely on muscle cells are not difficult to make. But if it's neuro-current-driven, you need neuron-like materials, which are hard to get anywhere...... I can't conjure something out of thin air that I don't have. ”

Not a doctor, but a more powerful being than a doctor. Not only do surgery, but also know a little bit about biomimicry prosthetics.

Crucially, he seems to know how to pick up high-quality trash and recover useful technical information from the remnants of pre-war civilizations.

Chu Guang became more and more interested in him.

"I'd like to talk to you about the Academy, and I'm planning to take refuge from the vault, so let's go along. By the way, do you want to go pack your bags first? ”

Yin Fang shook his head and said.

"I don't have any luggage to pack."

Chu Guang smiled and said with a pleasant face.

"Okay, congratulations on starting a new life."

Yin Fang also smiled, although the smile was somewhat reluctant.

To be honest, he didn't expect much from this so-called new rebirth, but as the manager said, he didn't have a choice.

After saying this, Chu Guang suddenly thought that there was another person in the room, so after thinking for a while, he looked at the wrench.

"Send this mercenary to the brick kiln and give it to the foreman there."

It's impossible to let people go, and besides, this mercenary Chu Guang is still a little useful.

Anyway, I will send it to labor reform first, and I happen to be a companion with the thousand-commander named Vanus.

Eugene's face turned pale.

Hearing the words brick kiln and foreman, he probably guessed his fate, either to work in the dark brick kiln until death, or to be sold to slave traders to continue working until death......

However, the wrench did not sympathize with him, and said meticulously.

"Yes, sir."

……

Eugene was assigned to work as a coolie in a brick factory.

As for Yin Fang, Chu Guang planned to arrange him on the B2 floor of the refuge.

There are still a hundred empty rooms in Area B on the B2 floor, and those rooms Chu Guang was originally intended to contain some technical talents excavated from the wasteland, but he didn't expect them to come in handy so soon.

As for whether it would be appropriate for him to be so close to the players?

To be honest, Chu Guang was not worried at all.

Worrying about this kind of problem is as boring as worrying about whether it will rain tomorrow. Cloning may have been a little sensitive to the world before he traveled through it, but for the people of this world, it was as common as a cigarette butt on the ground.

Until now, Boss Xia believed that there was some kind of technology in this wasteland, which could produce a clone in just one day, and one person in three days was nothing. And when Chu Guang asked where she heard it, she scratched her ears and couldn't answer.

The wasteland is so big, it's normal for some outrageous rumors to spread.

Didn't the survivors of Qingquan City also take credit for the victory over the Enterprise Expeditionary Force on their own heads? This is still the situation where there are often corporate caravans passing by in Qingquan City.

No matter what Yin Fang could see, Chu Guang didn't care at all, after entering the refuge, he didn't plan to let him come out for a short time.

If he does something stupid, he'll quickly appreciate what it's like to be a red name in the game.

It's going to be very exciting.

A certain large lizard crouching in the shelter and unable to get out will definitely be interested in this hard-won opportunity to perform.

Before evening, the returning truck arrived at the north gate of the wetland park.

The elevator door of the nursing home.

When Chu Guang pressed the down button, he glanced at Yin Fang next to him and reminded him.

"Have you thought about it? Now there is still a chance to regret it. After I went in, I was afraid that it didn't come out for a while. ”

Yin Fang sighed lightly.

"Even if I figured it out, at least I had to wait for the academy to forget about me."

"How long does it take to forget a D-class?"

Yin Fang thought for a moment and replied.

"Maybe three years, maybe five years...... It depended on how much they wanted me to die, though I didn't think I was that important. ”

If the clues to Vault 0 had been found, the academy might have gone to great lengths to get him back, but unfortunately, they didn't find anything like that.

……

Around six o'clock in the evening.

A group of happy young players, dragging a three-meter-tall claw crab back from the direction of Changjiu Farm in a wooden cart.

There was an exaggerated hole in the back of the clawed crab, which should have been blasted out of the Iron Fist Bazooka.

Regardless of whether or not it was worth 50 silver for a Split-Claw Crab, they did kill one anyway.

When they saw the monster being carried to the North Gate Market and put it down, the Akikusa and Akiba sisters opened their mouths in surprise, and their faces were full of disbelief.

"Sister, is that a claw crab?"

Akikusa nodded stunned.

"Yes......"

With sparkling eyes, Akiba looked at the residents of the shelter with adoration, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"That's amazing!"

"Yes......"

In the wasteland, the Claw Crab is even more dangerous than the Claw of Death. They don't move around, they don't let out exaggerated roars when they're fine, they may just hide in some deep puddle, or lie down in a damp cavern, disguised as algae or mossy rocks.

In their tribe, those who can defeat the claw crab are the most powerful warriors without exception, and this kind of warrior usually only appears in the stories of the old man.

She was so surprised that she forgot to stop her sister from looking around.

Although it is not enough to hold a triumphal ceremony for a clawed crab, the outpost is still lively like a festival.

"The crab legs are cooked, everyone hurry up and eat them, the crabs overnight will not be delicious!"

The sound of opening the meal sounded.

A crowd immediately surrounded them.

"Woo woo, the crab meat with truffles is also fantastic!" The crow holding half of the crab leg in his hand and chewing it carefully had a happy expression on his face.

"Is it delicious? I feel average. Fujito frowned and took a bite, looking confused.

It's far worse than mashed potatoes.

"It's still called average! By the way, I've got to bring some to the fish! Raven grabbed half of the crab leg and ran away.

"One thing to say, the food system of this game is really awesome! This fluffy crab meat is as tender as jelly before it is roasted, and after it is roasted, the fluffy crab meat has a hint of earthy fragrance, which is like a work of art...... "Fang Chang, who held half of the roasted crab leg in his hand and sat on the stone pier and ate a bite, suddenly looked at the sky and sighed.

Ye Shi, who was covered in moth hair, patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Okay, brother, don't be embarrassed to lick." If I were Brother Guang, I would have to dig out a villa on the spot. ”

Fang Chang's face turned red and glared at this guy.

"Fuck off! What is licking, and when a closed beta player publishes a game experience, it's called licking? ”

Tempest and Lao Bai are exchanging eighteen ways to eat crab legs, and they don't have time to participate in the topic of these two people.

Irena, who was sitting in front of the stall next to her, was now stuffing her mouth with crab meat, which was already the ninth crab leg he had eaten.

Suddenly, his brow furrowed, as if he had realized something.

"Wait, I feel a warm current flowing in my body, could it be that this crab meat can still be buffed?!"

He opened the VM at the speed of light and took a look.

Belch.

No, I don't.

"WHAT'S THE BUFF," THE ELF KING FUGUI, WHO WAS HOLDING THE CRAB LEGS IN BOTH HANDS AND WAS BRAVER THAN HIM, INTERJECTED WITH A HIPPIE SMILE, "YOU'RE HAVING A TIRE." ”

Irena: "I'll knock you old wood!" ”

Makabazi: "Hahahaha! ”

Later, it turned out that the crab meat of the hunting claw crab does not add buffs, but it is true that eating too much will cause diarrhea.

In the end, the warm current did not stop.

The servant, who had lost half of the crab leg, rushed to the toilet in a panic, almost not fighting at the door for the only remaining pit.

I don't know how it was solved in the end.

In short, when they take refuge in the refuge, their legs are soft......

That same evening.

After many players went offline, an announcement was made on the official website of Wasteland Online.

[Two new NPCs have been added to the outpost, Yin Fang, a D-class prospector from the Academy, and Eugene, a bounty hunter who hunts down Yin Fang.] 】

[Tip from Xiaoqi: Yin Fang's clinic is on the B2 floor, if you need to install implanted prostheses, you can find him, but the premise is that there must be. 】

[Luca Sr.: Eugene is undergoing labor reform, and I will turn him into a useful person. 】

Tail: "What's the situation!" And what happened on the days when the tail was not there!? ∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ”

Quit smoking: "!! Is this going to open up the class system? The planning boss is awesome! (Broken sound)"

Fujiteng: "If you don't understand, just ask, is this a pair of CPs who love and kill each other?" (＊／ω＼＊)”

Night Ten: "?? When I put these two question marks, it's not that I have a problem, it's that I think you have a problem. ”

Irena: "+1 (funny)"

Fujito: "What's wrong?" (; ｀O´)o”

Fang Chang: "New surgeon, Brother Tempest no longer has to worry about his right hand falling off and can't be put back, the son of the version is a real hammer." (Squint)"

The mole on the run in the canyon: "Hey, you Europeans. ”

Tempest: "('ω')? ”

……

In the shelter.

After making the announcement, Chu Guang did not peep at the screen on the forum, but stared at the text document on the screen and fell into deep thought.

About ten minutes ago, he had learned about the academy from Yin Fang, and there were many things worth his attention.

"The college is located in the middle of a wandering swamp. Before the Prosperity Era, it was once a desert, but after the Prosperity Era, it was transformed into a man-made ecological reserve. During the Battle of Doom, the landscape was permanently transformed into a swamp area 1.5 times the size of the province of the valley due to the bombardment of strategic weapons. ”

"The Academy has an ominous origin, and the vast majority of its technology is derived from 'archaeology', with a base of researchers and prospectors. Among them, the E-class prospector is probably similar to the E-class employee of the enterprise, the ten-captain of the legion? The D-class personnel are equivalent to middle-level cadres, and they are suspected of being centurions or thousand-necks of the benchmark legion. ”

"In addition, the academy seems to have embarked on a different path from the corps and the enterprise. The implanted prosthetic and informatics technology there is quite developed, and the equipment is mainly energy weapons and shield technology, and the industrial capacity seems to be weak...... Maybe it's because home is in a swamp? ”

However, after two centuries of antiquity, they didn't finish the exam, how exaggerated is the legacy left by this pre-war civilization?

By analogy through the development trajectory of the previous earth, Chu Guang could not imagine what happened in the years after the era of prosperity.

Holding the mouse, Chu Guang, who thought for a moment, took a screenshot from the information he had sorted out, copied and pasted it in the background of the official website.

Hit the enter button.

"Anyway, let's update it on the official website database as a game background first."

Maybe the players' brains will find something out.
