So far, in the entire closed beta server of "Wasteland Online", no one has completed the first kill of Deathclaw.

Although there are traces of Deathclaw's activity in the Elm area, after all, it is winter, and Deathclaw is a close relative of the lizard, and it also needs to hibernate.

Mostly lying in the lair twenty-four hours a day, no player has yet found where the Dead Claws are hiding in the Elm District.

Chu Guang, who was squatting on the forum and peeping at the screen, suddenly moved slightly in his heart and spoke.

"Xiaoqi, can you turn the drone over?"

Xiao Qi paused and whispered.

"Well, it should be possible, but there are risks. The wind outside is too strong, and there is snowfall from time to time, and the hummingbird is a short-range rotor drone, even if our communication radius can now cover 16 kilometers away, but at such a long distance, Xiaoqi is worried that he will not be able to fly back. ”

In different climates, the endurance of drones is different. Hummingbirds are small in size and very concealed, but they are relatively weak in other aspects.

Chu Guang pondered for a while and then said.

"You don't have to stay there for too long, just take two pictures?"

Xiaoqi said.

"That should be fine...... Xiaoqi give it a try. ”

Chu Guang nodded and said.

"Well, just try it, don't force it."

After explaining to Xiaoqi, Chu Guang continued to look at the forum.

Rather than the players' discussion of the strength of the Claw of Death, the enthusiasm of the cloud players focused on the group of marauders.

From the weapons of the raiders to the style of their dressing, there are even discussions about the habits and culture of the raiders.

These discussions cannot be said to be completely useless, only to be said to be useless at all.

Chu Guang, who was sitting in front of the computer, calculated silently in his heart.

The outpost now has 5 trucks, 1 in the industrial zone and 1 on the transport route from the outpost to the long-term farm. The other two vehicles are deployed at temporary resource points on the outskirts of the abandoned towns in the Elm and northern regions, and are responsible for transporting the player's prey and recovered garbage back to the Long Farm.

In fact, there was only one free truck, the one that Dr. Yin Fang had rented for the Niu Ma team, and it was now returning from the laboratory of Zhongzhou Aerospace.

The snow in the northern suburbs is knee-deep.

With a distance of almost 16 kilometers and no reliable vehicles, players must be prepared to spend the whole day on dry roads running to support.

"It seems that the outpost lacks not only weapons, but also vehicles."

Long-range troop projection is a big problem, and even if his little players DIY a few mountain bikes and make tricycles, the number is still too small.

“…… When the problem of anti-aircraft weapons is solved, we have to let the No. 81 steel plant think of a way to see if we can get a few more wood-burning trucks out. ”

Now Chu Guang doesn't understand a thing.

What is the use of these marauders asking for fuel rods?

They also need to recharge the shelter?

Can this thing be burned as firewood?

At this time, Lao Bai, who had just returned to the line for a while, went offline to run the forum again.

That post has been turned into a live post by him.

The experience of being captured by the Marauders is now being updated.

"I'm back! When I returned to the line just now, I sneaked to the window to take a look, and found that there were more and more marauders here! There were dozens of people just now, but now there are hundreds! ”

"They confiscated my VM before and searched me, hahaha, but they didn't expect that Ye would be able to go offline when he slept!"

"Is this a game bug? Brother Guang won't delete my post when he sees it. ”

it!

Chu Guang's eyes lit up instantly.

Good fellow, can a captive still be used like this?

Not to mention deleting the post, Chu Guang wished that he would have a few more bugs, and it would be best to send the specific number of people and the distribution of troops on the other party to the forum.

The stupid netizens who were hesitating to open a trumpet to guide them, and the stupid dick netizens who were waiting for the update below the post quickly asked all the things he wanted to ask for Chu Guang.

The blue sky does not see the moon: ", do you still have windows in this cell?" ”

The nursing home carried the handle: "666, tell me how many of them there are, and how is the equipment?" Wait a while, the old man will get off the plane, go back online with a message! ”

Lao Bai: "What to say, if you just look at the physique, I feel that they are actually no different from the bloody hand clan we met before, they are the kind of ordinary marauders, but on the whole, the organization of these marauders is obviously much higher than that of the bloody hands, and the equipment is also much stronger, probably between the legion and the ordinary marauders!" ”

"On top of that, I saw 2 trucks in their camp with a light machine gun on the roof! That machine gun is exactly the same as the one we captured from the Legion! ”

"In addition to that, they also have a lot of xenospecies, especially mutant hyenas. This would not have been surprising, after all, the Bloody Hand clan also likes to raise dogs, but these people are kind of interesting, they don't just raise dogs, they also dress them! ”

"I'm sure that the clothes are not for warmth, they are for hanging explosives bags or something! If you're planning to attack here, you'd better be careful of those hyenas, don't get up close to them! ”

Just when Lao Bai was talking eloquently in the post, several familiar IDs suddenly appeared in the forum.

Night Ten: ", Lao Bai, are you still alive?!" ”

Lao Bai: "Haha, my lord is alive!" Anyway, why did you go up the tree too? Lao Tzu has helped you fight for opportunities like that, don't tell me that you still gave it for nothing. ”

Fang Chang: "We are on the truck back to the base, and it is estimated that you are offline, so you will lie down and come back to see." Good brother, you wait, we will go back and bring rescuers to save you! ”

Lao Bai: "Well, don't be impulsive, this group of marauders is not easy to deal with." The exoskeleton is pregnant.,The most valuable equipment on my body now is that VM.,It's not a pity to lose the others.,It's just three days of OB on the forum when you die.,Don't be whole, it's like life and death.。 I'm trying to figure out what the looters were doing in that eco-lab before I die. ”

Fang Chang: "Hmm...... I have some thoughts on that. Perhaps they didn't plan to take any fuel rods at all, but aimed at the ecological park itself. ”

Hearing Fang Chang's analysis, Chu Guang suddenly came to his senses.

This is what he is most curious about.

Lao Bai: "How do you say this!" ”

Fang Chang: "It's simple, the warm climate, the sufficient area, and ready-made concrete fortifications, there are simply a natural base for operations. If I had been their commander and had confirmed that the Eco Park in Building 3 was still working, I would definitely have chosen to make my home there. ”

"The only trouble for them now is that Deathclaw has built a nest there, but now that Deathclaw is wounded, they just need to find it and clean it up."

Lao Bai was shocked.

"Damn, what do you say...... It's kind of like that. I see that their trucks are carrying a lot of supplies, which is obviously not the weight of more than a hundred people! I counted, and if the boxes and sacks they unloaded were all food and ammunition, I am afraid that the consumption of a thousand people would be enough! ”

Supply!

It's a thousand people!

Chu Guang was instantly excited.

Boy.

He's worried about supplies, and someone is bringing him a pillow so soon?

It only took less than a minute for Chu Guang to make a decision in his heart.

I must not let this piece of fat slip out of my nose!

Fang Chang and Ye Shi were still on the truck, and they didn't dare to stay on the forum for too long, and after learning about the situation from Lao Bai, they returned to the line.

……

Chu Guang thought for a moment, made a decision, decided to grasp the initiative of the war, and issued a mission to the remaining three people of the Niu Ma team through VM, ordering them to get out of the car immediately, establish an observation point near the Zhongzhou Aerospace Experimental Base, and closely monitor the movements of the group of marauders.

Want to set up an outpost on Lao Tzu's doorstep?

Dream!

Chu Guang then sent a message to Luca, asking him to mobilize all five trucks before dark and wait for orders in the northern industrial area of the outpost.

At this time, there was a knock at the door of the office.

I saw Yin Fang push open the door and walk in from outside with an anxious face.

"Something is wrong!"

"Our expedition team on the front line has encountered marauders!"

Chu Guang said calmly.

"Your message is too slow, I knew it ten minutes ago."

Looking at Chu Guang with a calm face, Yin Fang was slightly stunned and said cautiously.

"I have to warn you if they take the fuel rods there...... Our efforts over the past week have been in vain, and we have to find the right goal again. ”

Chu Guang said.

"I know, but at the moment, the fuel rods are not very dangerous."

Yin Fang asked.

"What do you mean......

"The marauders have set up camp there, and judging by the size of their personnel and the deployment of supplies, they probably intend to use it as a base of operations...... If my speculation is correct, they should be the recent sudden rise of the 'Bone-Chewing Bone tribe'. ”

If nothing else, they should have planned to establish a stronghold at the Zhongzhou Space Experimental Base as a bridgehead for a full-scale invasion of the southern part of the River Valley Province.

As Fang Chang said, they had no intention of taking the fuel rods at all.

They themselves are going to that ecological experiment base!

As he spoke, Chu Guang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

I didn't expect these people to come so quickly......

After hearing Chu Guang's words, Yin Fang's face changed slightly, and he said nervously.

"Isn't that more serious?"

"They've got their purpose written on their faces, do you think I'm going to let them get their way? It's only more than 100 people, and it's not the first time I've cracked down on bandits. ”

Looking at Yin Fang, who was slightly stunned, Chu Guang smiled faintly and continued.

"The reconnaissance team has been deployed near the marauders, and before you even walk into my office, I have mobilized all the trucks of the base, and will soon mobilize another 200 reservists to form a reinforced company."

"Since they have put their feet on my doorstep, they must have made up their minds to leave their legs and shoes behind."

"Wait until it gets dark, and I'll teach them a profound lesson!"

……

Lao Bai, who was trapped in the "cell" and couldn't get out, looked left and right boredly, occasionally heard movement and walked to the window to look outside, and then returned to the bed and sat down.

It's just past noon in the game, and now it's early in the morning, and even if he goes back, he's sleeping, and he may not be able to sleep.

It's better to stay here and be in a daze.

It's also interesting to talk about the marauders.

When standing by the window and observing, Lao Bai found that these NPCs all have their own life trajectories, just like the ones in the big cousin of the wilderness.

For example, the marauder standing guard at the gate of the experimental base is a smoker, and every time the commander is not there, he will take out half of his cigarette butt and smell it twice, and then stuff it back into his pocket.

The driver leaning against the side of the truck was probably of a higher status, and no one cared about them, standing with the co-pilot smoking a cigarette, and his face was intoxicated.

There was also a marauder sitting on the stone steps, rubbing something with a knife against the bullet's warhead.

Does anyone really believe in that kind of urban legend?

Carving a cross on a warhead can do more damage.

At this time, Lao Bai suddenly found through the small hole in the tent that a behemoth about four meters long was carried out of the main entrance downstairs.

"Deathclaw!"

A look of surprise appeared on Lao Bai's face.

"These people actually killed the Deathclaws?"

It shouldn't be accurate to say that it's done.

If you look closely, the dead claw is covered in shocking scars, but it is not completely dead, and it seems that it is still breathing.

There is a row of tents at the back of Building 2, close to where the trucks unload supplies.

Several marauders worked together and carried it on a stretcher into a spacious tent.

Just as Lao Bai was thinking about what they were going to do, he soon saw an ugly-looking old man walking in with their hind feet.

I don't know why, Lao Bai always felt that the old man wrapped in a thick coat had a somewhat different temperament from the predators around him.

What do you say?

I feel like this guy is mysterious.

If the surrounding marauders are compared to goblins, then this old man is at least a goblin witch doctor.

"Are they going to heal Deathclaw?"

Lao Bai's face was full of weirdness.

Not really, right?

……

Xiao Qi's drone returned and brought back aerial images of the Marauders' camp, and from several photos, it can be seen that at least one company of Marauders was stationed in the Zhongzhou Aerospace Laboratory.

To put it bluntly, there is a maximum of 150 people and a minimum of 100 people.

They are scattered in several experimental buildings.

Someone patrolled with a dog.

As for the supplies, judging by the aerial photos, it does look like there are a thousand servings, and the unloading point is near Building 2.

The marauders seemed intent on hiding supplies in the building, so they began cleaning up the slime bacteria in Building 2.

Night Ten set up an observation point nearby and set up a sniper rifle. The head of the agility department has visual reinforcement and acts as an observer. Hurricane ambushed nearby, responsible for watching the two chrysanthemums at the same time, from time to time offline to glance at the forum.

Lao Bai, who was taken as a prisoner, had become their eyes in the marauders' camp, always paying attention to the distribution of people in the camp.

However, due to the fact that the entire experimental base itself is built on relatively high ground, surrounded by ruins and jungles, Night Ten, who serves as a sniper, does not have a very good view.

It doesn't matter, though.

Originally, they were tasked with not squatting on a high place to shoot black guns, but to monitor the patrols scattered outside the stronghold and provide cover for players approaching the stronghold.

If you spot a high-threat target, such as the Heavy or Barrel, dismiss them before they pose a threat to your unit.

Eight p.m. in the wasteland.

Five light trucks delivered 200 players in two batches to the war zone, where they were assembled 1 kilometer away from the Zhongzhou Aerospace Ecological Experimental Base.

This operation was personally led and commanded by Chu Guang, who arrived at the front line with 6 guards to supervise the battle.

In addition to this, Vanus, the former commander of the legion, was also allowed to go to the front.

This was his own request, because he wanted to see for himself how the people who had defeated them on the battlefield fought.

Chu Guang agreed to his request, took him with him, and allowed him to watch the battle.

It just so happens that I also need a staff officer, so I don't necessarily have to refer to his advice, but his actual combat experience may come in handy at critical times.

To the southwest of the experimental base is Qingquan City, so this is also a key area for the marauders.

A machine gun was mounted on the third floor of Building 1, with sandbags stuffed into the window as a cover, and the muzzle of the gun was facing the gate of the experimental base where the checkpoint was placed.

There are sandbags piled up near the checkpoint, and crouching behind them can condescendingly shoot at the forest below the slope.

In addition, about thirty slaves in leg cuffs are building improvised shelters and fortifications in the base under the supervision of a ten-man team.

It was evident that the marauders were cautious.

Even the possibility of air raids and artillery shelling was taken into account, and even knew about digging foxholes in the lair.

Chu Guang estimated that those foxholes and cover-ups should not be aimed at him, eighty percent were to beware of the planes in Boulder City, or something else.

However, on the other hand, the eastern side of the experimental base is a weak area for their defenses, with only 2 patrols and no heavy firepower.

Perhaps because of the gentle terrain and sparse bunkers, they were confident that they would be able to react quickly to an attack from this direction and drive the truck with a machine gun on top of it.

However, they are not facing any ordinary opponent.

Vanus looked at Chu Guang, who was wearing power armor on the side, and said with a strange expression.

"Are you going to go to the front in person?"

Chu Guang glanced at him.

"Did I say that?"

Vanus glanced at the heavy breastplate, the hammer on his back, and the Gauss rifle, and shook his head slowly.

"Nope."

To be honest, he has fought hundreds of battles, large and small, but it is the first time he has seen a commander who has armed himself into a tin can.

Lujan, that guy doesn't count.

In his eyes, that could not be considered a commander at all.

Chu Guang ignored him, his index finger lightly touched the helmet, and the orange levitating window was projected onto the helmet's tactical eyepiece.

The information is also updated on the player's VM!
