The sound of gunfire in the distance continued for a while.

After leaving behind a total of seven corpses and three wounded who had not had time to take them, the raiders retreated in a truck in disarray.

The machine guns on the top of the two trucks fired into the forest, and another patrolling machine gun pickup truck in the distance also came to the rescue, firing while covering the retreat of their own people.

The players did not chase out of the forest.

Their vehicle is on the south side, and here is the north side of the forest.

Out of the forest is a gentle slope, and without fast and maneuverable vehicles, it is impossible to chase four wheels on two legs.

"Grass, these dogs are running so fast!"

Carrying an iron fist bazooka, looking at the billowing snow foam in the distance, and looking at the battlefield atmosphere group after a while, he finally put the canister down.

With a distance of 200 to 300 meters and a speed of more than 30 yards, it is really difficult to hit without turning on technology.

But the thought of leaving a truck plus 100 war scores, he couldn't help but smash it.

It's a pity!

If only it had been faster!

The spring commander walked over from behind and patted him on the shoulder.

"It's already very good, our task is to drive the people away, and to repel the attack of the marauders is considered victory. As for the secondary goal, it depends on whether the other side appreciates the face or not. This AI is quite smart, and when he sees that the situation is not right, he turns around and runs away. ”

To be honest, it's a bit of a goofy.

But it's also quite real.

When a battle breaks out between the two sides in this terrain, it can easily turn into a tug-of-war, and when the time comes, it will be faster than who will reinforce it.

And this is the city of Qingquan.

Without knowing the strength of the opponent, it is reasonable for the commander of the opposing side to make the most prudent choice based on limited intelligence.

It's just that it's not at all like the marauders should be.

The Commander of the Springs pondered silently in his mind and gave an assessment of the marauders.

These monsters are not easy to deal with!

The other side.

The captain of the guard, wearing the "five-style" exoskeleton, walked to the center of the village square of Dongliu Camp and found the village chief here.

Looking at the wrinkled old man, he said in a serious tone.

“…… You're attacked by the Bone Chewing Tribe, who have recently expanded from the central part of the Valle Province to the south, and while we have the upper hand this time, I'm not sure they'll ever return. ”

Glancing around, Wrench continued.

"I'm sorry for this happening, we've done our best."

The villagers dragged the bodies of their compatriots to the square, and roughly counted at least twenty.

Many of them died in a miserable and shocking state, and his brows furrowed when he saw it.

What a bunch of brutes!

He couldn't imagine what would have happened here a few minutes later.

"Your Excellency, please don't say that," Ma Zhanqiu said, shaking his head, "if it weren't for you...... I'm afraid we'll end up even worse. ”

Next to the old man, a man in ragged clothes stumbled over.

Half of his face was burned, his forehead was covered with blood, as if he had been frightened, and his mouth was babbling.

"I said it a long time ago...... We should flee from here, this time only a wave of imps, and more terrible demons are yet to come. No one is their opponent, no one! ”

The wrench looked at him.

"Who is this?"

Ma Zhanqiu's throat moved, and he sighed softly.

"He fled from Tianshui City, and he is a distant relative of our family, and his name is Ma Shan. He is also a poor man, his family has been ruined once, and after he escaped by luck, he did not expect to meet those people in our place again...... Something may not be quite normal mentally. ”

Wrench: "......"

It's okay to run into it twice in a row.

That's bad luck.

Seeing the man in the exoskeleton in front of him looking at him with pity, Ma Shan said emotionally as if he was stimulated.

"I'm not kidding! They have big, big guns, and big cars...... The most terrifying thing is that they actually enslaved the claws of death! I know it sounds crazy for me to say that, but it's all with my own eyes! There is no doubt that they are all minions of the Grim Reaper, otherwise there is no way to explain why those claws of death would stand with them! ”

As the most vicious beast in the wasteland, the Claw of Death is regarded as a symbol of death, and is even worshipped by many ignorant tribesmen as servants of the Grim Reaper.

The wrench listened in a fog and frowned.

Although he couldn't understand what he was talking about, his intuition told him that this man might have some very important information.

"I'll take you to meet the Administrator."

Ma Shan looked dazed.

"...... manager?"

Only then did the wrench realize that he hadn't reported to the house yet, so he said.

"I forgot to introduce myself, we're from Vault 404."

"Shelter?" Ma Zhanqiu was stunned, looking at the wrench in surprise, obviously not expecting that he was actually saved by the blue coat.

And the ragged man, after hearing this, immediately glowed with hope on his face, stepped forward and said incoherently.

"Please take me there!"

"As long as we close the door, those marauders will not be able to enter!"

……

Outpost.

The thin man sat in the reception room, fidgeting in his chair with a look of distraction. From time to time, his eyes looked out of the window and at the door, and the slightest movement of wind and grass made his nerves tense.

Through inquiry, Chu Guang learned that this man's name was Ma Li, and he was the second son of the village chief of Dongliu Camp.

He also has an older brother named Ma Yong, but this kind of trivial matter is not important.

Chu Guang didn't want to eat human blood steamed buns, but he also had to admit that the tragedy that happened in the Dongliu camp sounded the alarm in the hearts of all the survivors in the northern suburbs.

After seeing the devastation through the drone, the representatives of the other survivor settlements were frightened and finally recognized the reality.

The Chewing Bone Tribe has been killed in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City!

They are brutal, well-armed, and tactically proficient. The average survivor colony is no match for this group of hungry wolves!

The people who were still a little hesitant and even planned to take care of the relocation issue have all made up their minds at this moment, begging Chu Guang to help them, hoping to start the relocation work as soon as possible.

The rest is easy to say.

There are a total of thirteen survivor settlements in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City, scattered over an area of nearly 500 square kilometers.

Chu Guang quickly formulated a transfer plan, from far to near, and evacuated in three batches.

The five closest survivor settlements to the Zhongzhou Aerospace Ecological Experimental Base were included in the first batch of evacuation plans.

These include Chaowei Battery Factory, Hope Mountain Cooperative, Waste Pickers' Home, Highway Town, and Winterwillow Camp...... There are more than 600 households in total, with a total population of more than 1,000, which is equivalent to six Bate streets.

There are only nine trucks that can be pumped from the outpost, and that's still counting the four newly captured!

People don't have to make trucks, but goods have to be moved.

Especially grain.

You can't do without other things, you have to bring food!

Otherwise, so many people arrived at the Changchang Farm, and Chu Guang would not be able to find enough for them to eat, and the famine would probably find him before the people from the Chewing Bone Tribe.

Chu Guang found Liu Ding and mobilized 50 power players to form a transport team, and 100 soldier players served as escorts for the evacuation operation.

They will assist in the evacuation of local survivors, starting at the outermost survivor settlement.

All personnel and supplies will be evacuated to the new United Gas Station, 10 kilometres away from Changchang Farm, and then to Changchang Farm in batches.

As for what happened after that......

I can only think about it later.

Now the priority is to bring people and things back first.

If those marauders are reupplied, the hell knows how many more they will come!

The door to the reception room opened.

Looking at the manager who walked in from the outside, Ma Li, who was sitting on the stool, immediately stood up and hurriedly greeted him.

"My lord, my family...... Are you okay? ”

Chu Guang looked at him and said.

"My subordinates have seen your father, and he's doing well, but ...... Your village may have suffered a lot of damage. My men are assisting you in evacuation, and if the situation is optimistic, you will be able to see your father at the farm as soon as tomorrow evening. ”

Horsepower breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his father was still alive, and his tense shoulders relaxed. However, when he heard it, his heart couldn't help but pull up.

This winter is already difficult......

Now that they have lost their village and their home, it is foreseeable that the coming days will be even more difficult than before.

But no matter what, the other party saved his own life

Ma Li lowered his head and said sincerely.

"Thank you......"

Chu Guang shook his head.

"No thanks."

"Helping you is also helping ourselves."

There are more than 70 households in Dongliu Camp, including nearly 200 old and weak women and children.

Think of it in a darker place.

So many people.

It's been enough for the marauders for a long time......

Ma Li looked at Chu Guang and said sincerely.

"Is there anything I can do? If I can help you. ”

Chu Guang's heart moved and said.

"The outpost has limited capacity, and we plan to evacuate the first batch of survivors of the relocation plan to assemble at the new combined gas station 10 kilometers from Changchang Farm, and then go to Changchang Farm in batches. If you want to help, go there and I can arrange some work for you to comfort the survivors so that you can see your father sooner as well. ”

Of course.

This also means that we will be at the forefront.

Ma Ma took a deep breath, overcame the fear in his heart, and nodded solemnly.

"I'm willing to go!"

Chu Guang looked at the cheered up man in front of him appreciatively, reached out and patted his arm.

"Then go ahead."

"The pick-up point is on the north side of the park, and my people will take you there!"

……

Outside the east gate of the outpost.

At the entrance of the nomadic village, the two sisters, Akikusa and Akiba, are standing next to a wooden stake with an axe, each carrying a wooden basket and looking out with his neck stretched.

Inside the basket was a basket full of raw silk wrapped around a stick.

Seeing Fuji coming from the outpost, the sisters' eyes lit up.

Especially the extroverted sister, who couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and beckoned, trotted over excitedly, hugged her and pasted her.

"Fuji Vine!"

"Sister Akiba, good morning...... Yikes! No, you don't have to hug me in circles, it's weird! ”

When her feet finally touched the ground, Fujito blushed and brushed her messy hair, and Akiba looked at her at a loss like a child who had done something wrong.

"Fuji Vine?"

"No, it's okay...... Anyway, you can't do this next time! ”

Akiba nodded incomprehensibly.

Although he is not very familiar with the language of the residents of the shelter, Akiba is very proficient when he says the word rattan.

Thanks to the beautiful and kind-hearted Miss Fujito, who taught them silk reeling and gave them a set of silk reeling tools, the tribe now not only has a lot of beautiful and durable ropes, silks, and cloths, but also adds an extra income.

Every morning, Fuji Teng would come to them and buy the raw silk produced yesterday from them.

Everyone in the clan was very grateful to this kind man, and the patriarch also specially instructed himself and his sister to give her the best raw silk in the clan. As for those of average quality, just keep them for your own use, and they don't need to be too good anyway.

Akiba wasn't very interested in the coins, but the chrysalis of the devil moth were so delicious!

She had never eaten such a delicious bug.

It's white and tender, it's crunchy in one bite, whether it's baked or boiled, it's fragrant!

Just when Akiba thought to herself that she must find a chance to invite Fujito to taste the delicious food she made, her sister Akiba walked over from not far away, reached out and knocked on the top of her head.

"Hmm!"

Akiba covered her head and looked at her sister with an aggrieved expression, who glared at her and whispered.

"You can't be so rude to people, they are our benefactors."

As he spoke, Akikusa looked at Fuji Vine apologetically, lowered her head, and said seriously in a non-standard pronunciation.

"I'm sorry, sister, for the trouble."

"No, it's okay, there's no need for such a formal apology......" Fuji Fuji, who is not good at dealing with this kind of occasion, was slightly embarrassed, especially Akiba's pitiful expression made her even more uncomfortable, so she quickly changed the topic, "That's right, raw silk." ”

As she spoke, she took out a bag of silver coins from her pocket and handed it to Akiba.

Qiucao was slightly stunned, then politely took it and picked up the wooden basket on the ground.

"We, done well, can help you, bring it over."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll just take it back myself, it's not far."

Looking at Akiba, who was standing behind her sister with an aggrieved face, Fujito stepped forward, gently touched her head, and said happily.

"Thank you, thank you for your hard work!"

"These materials have helped a lot!"

With these materials, you can make a lot of clothes!

"Thank you!"

Akiba's eyes lit up, and a smile immediately bloomed on her face.

She understands the word!

It means to express gratitude and affirmation!

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the north gate of the outpost, and a large number of people were carrying rifles and marching north with a rainbow of momentum.

It was the same yesterday.

The tribesmen in the village stopped what they were doing, looked in the direction of the north, and whispered to each other.

"What's going on......"

"I heard it's the north."

"North! Has the chaos spread here? ”

"Blessed by the spirit of the ancestors, may those warriors triumph."

"I hope the flames of war don't burn here...... We finally found a place to stay. ”

The days of wandering are too bitter.

No one wants to go back to living like that.

Looking in the direction of the north, Akiba nervously shrank beside her sister.

Qiucao gently patted her sister's little head and comforted her softly.

"Don't be afraid."

"The manager will protect us."

Although he couldn't understand what the sisters were saying, Fujito could feel the uneasiness in their eyes.

Giving them a determined look, Fujito soothed them with an encouraging tone.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

"Everyone in the Vault will protect you!"

……

The north entrance to the park.

Two trucks stopped.

Carrying the scythe assault rifle, the [Edge Stroke] beckoned his teammates to get into the car.

"Brothers, get on the bus, come alive! It's time to live! ”

[Mission: Go to the "Chaowei Battery Factory" (ongoing)]

[Mission: Cover the relocation of the residents of the "Chaowei Battery Factory" (not started)]

Carrying a "sickle" semi-automatic rifle equipped with an optical sight on his back, [Debt Big Eye], who jumped into the car, shouted and coaxed.

"Let's go, follow Brother Shui to fight the fire!"

Edge paddling rolled his eyes.

"Day, can you change the name? Can't you call me the edge? ”

However, it's good not to resist, this resistance, there are more people who are heckling around.

The construction site boy and the brick: "Good water brother! Where are we going to spray water today?

Macabazi: "What kind of water to spray, Brother Shui, where are we going to send people's heads today?" ”

Edge paddling: "@#%! ”

Due to the outrageously high battle damage, the team of edge paddling is also well-known on the forum, and is often ridiculed by players and cloud players as a dead black car.

When I met mutants before, I suffered heavy casualties in two rounds, and the last time I didn't plan to change the difficulty, I brushed a team of power armor allies next to them, and I couldn't be wiped out directly!

When they attacked the experimental base at night last night, as a feint group, their team's battle damage was as high as 5%.

Although everyone knows that he can't be blamed for dying so much, he is really a bit too black-faced when he always encounters big scenes and is killed by the plot.

Oddly enough, though.

He survived every time.

Because of this, many people are still debating on the forum, whether high perception will add dodge or luck, otherwise it is completely unreasonable.

got into the car, the mouth of [Debt Big Eyes] was still idle, and he smiled and pulled the [Construction Site Boy and Brick] next to him to tease.

"Didn't open? Make a small bet on pleasure, bet 1 silver coin, and guess today's death lotto. ”

[The construction site boy and the brick] didn't even think about it, and stretched out five fingers coolly.

"I'll bet five."

As for why five?

Because he only had five fingers, and the other hand was too lazy to take it out in his pocket.

"Tsk," Wide-Eyed snorted, "then I'll bet six." ”

Another player next to him heard it and shuddered.

"Grass, don't talk about it."

"It's just that Lao Tzu wants to get out of the car!"

A total of 10 teams were mobilized, two of which were led by Edge Paddle to the Chaowei Battery Factory, which was located 22 kilometers away.

Located in a small town, the battery factory produced safe, reliable and environmentally friendly solid-state hydrogen batteries, which were well-known before the war, and even funded the town's two public primary schools and kindergartens.

However, today, more than two centuries later, the only relationship between this battery factory and the battery is probably only the signboard that can barely read the words.

Most of the houses in the factory area collapsed, only the fence was barely usable, and there were no dangerous xenomorphs nearby, and over time people came to settle down.

The survivors have been living here for many years by scavenging and farming for their houses and walls built houses and repaired fences with collected materials.

Two trucks were parked at the entrance of the factory.

The survivors, with large bags and even carts, had already gathered at the door.

Many people's faces were dazed, although the rumors that the Chewing Bone Tribe had burned the flames of war to the northern suburbs of Qingquan City were not a day or two, but no one expected everything to happen so suddenly.

The young guard jumped out of the car and walked briskly to the factory gate, where he met the head of the survivors' settlement.

It was an old man with a somewhat hunchback, his face was covered with the wind and frost of time, but the whole person still looked very tough.

Lu Bei stood still in front of him, his expression was serious, and his words were concise.

"Vault 404 Guard Lu Bei! On the orders of the Administrator, I have come to support your evacuation! ”

Although he felt a little apprehensive about the young man's slightly immature appearance in front of him, the soldiers behind him still put the old man at ease.

Nodding, the old man said.

"My name is Li Zhong, and I'm the village chief here. I've heard about the situation from the kids, and we've packed our things and we're ready to go. ”

"We will abide by your rules, and we hope that you will keep your promises and keep the agreement between us."

Lu Bei nodded and said loyally.

"Don't worry about this, the manager has already planned a bright future for you, now please follow me-"

Before the words fell, the sound of gunfire suddenly came from a distance, and the bullets whizzed towards the door, and a string of bullet holes were instantly printed on the concrete wall, and dust flew away.

Startled by the sudden gunshot, the surrounding survivors ducked from the door.

However, there were a few people who were in danger, and they squatted at the door with great skill, and fired back in the direction where the bullets came.

Looking at the north suddenly, Lu Bei's eyes widened slightly, and he saw a pickup truck looking at the steel plate had stopped at the corner of the highway.

The barrel of the black hole is looking straight this way!

The edge of the water not far away was paddling, and he was already yelling and leading people to rush forward, opening fire to attract firepower while directing the team members to disperse.

"Enemy attack!"

"Don't get out of the car, driver! Trucks drive into the factory! ”

"Team A defends on the spot, Team B follows me! We're going to fight before they come around! ”

"Ready! 100 yard ruler, hit me! ”
