Before 12 a.m.

The convoy finally arrived at Changchang Farm.

Players are also returning to their outposts, or taking their farms offline near their save points.

Many people have experienced symptoms such as fever, fatigue, and dizziness before going offline.

After reading the strategy post on the forum, they immediately understood what was going on, and they found a dormant warehouse to lie down.

Near the save point.

There was a sense of joy in the air.

"Good brother, you're here too?"

"Hahaha, everyone is here together, this is too coincidental!"

"I don't have high requirements, just give me a sssr when I draw talent!"

"That's not too demanding?!"

"Planning bless, I am willing to use all of you here to be single for a lifetime in exchange for an invincible talent."

"The planner said that he knew, and said that this will arrange a talent for you that can become a support for him."

"it."

The awakened players celebrated each other, and the players who were still a little or 100 million were crazy about lemons, with expressions of envy, jealousy and hatred on their faces.

Although the talent hidden in the genetic sequence had been decided from the moment they "logged into the game", and there was no way to change the plan, Chu Guang was still sincerely happy for them.

There are at least ten awakenings in this battle.

I can't make it to twenty!

It's a big step forward from making up an awakening company.

Standing next to the warehouse of Changjiu Farm, Chu Guang couldn't help but smile like an old father when he looked at the trucks full of supplies and the little players who were thriving.

The shoots in the field grew taller again.

That's nice.

……

The players who went offline brought the battle situation on the front line to the forum, and shared the joy of victory with the professional players in the rear and the cloud players who were still queuing.

By the way, I also took a few "photographic-grade" game original paintings that passed the review.

And Chu Guang's side finally got the battle report that he had been waiting for all day.

The first is the highway crossing blockade battle, with 227 players participating in the battle, against the four overmatched 100-man teams under the command of Black Snake, as well as the logistics transport team and artillery team with a total of 628 people.

Among them, 17 players were killed (including serious injuries) and 33 were injured.

A total of 371 marauders were killed and 257 captured, and the number of people who fled in the chaos is estimated to be only about 10 to 20.

Among the captives were a centurion, two staff officers.

What made Chu Guang regret a little, the commander of the thousand black snake was killed in the escape, and his little player failed to catch it alive.

But it doesn't matter, it's the same if you catch a staff officer, what you can ask from the mouth of the black snake can be asked from his staff officer.

If you can't ask, you basically don't know.

The prisoners with interrogation value were temporarily locked up in the Long Farm, and the worthless prisoner Chu Guang was handed over to Luca.

Recently, he planned a labor camp in the northern part of Linghu Lake to reclaim the wasteland north of Linghu.

Although the labor camp was still a bare vacant lot, Chu Guang would give the prisoners a dozen logging axes and let them build their own cells.

Very user-friendly.

Run away?

The idea is creative and can be tried.

In addition to the captives, there were 488 freed slaves.

It is said that there were 2,000 people at the beginning, but in the winter only half of them remained, and now there are only those left.

The vast majority of them were young and middle-aged laborers, and many were craftsmen like Wu Mu, the director of the paper mill, who were proficient in construction, blacksmithing, planting, animal husbandry, and even simple medicine, or learned arithmetic, literacy, and other skills.

The vast majority of them came from the central and northern parts of the valley province, but also some other parts of the south, and most of them were captured by the marauders while sacking the villages, suffering both mentally and physically along the way.

Chu Guang planned to temporarily settle them in the camp camp, where they would attend literacy classes with them and learn literacy and arithmetic and geometry.

Only an educated workforce can become a quality workforce.

These people will become the basis of industrialization.

While this will put some pressure on the food supply in the short term, it will definitely be worth the investment in the long run.

Moreover, Chu Guang had just gotten a batch of grain from the marauders, and the rough statistics that could be used were about 84 tons, half of which were potatoes, thirty percent were rice, and the rest were all kinds of grains and miscellaneous grains.

In addition to this, there were 21 tons of nutritional paste, presumably used by the marauders to feed the slaves, just enough to serve as rations for the prisoners of war.

“…… We seized a total of 25 trucks, which carried supplies in addition to food, large quantities of cotton products and untreated cotton, as well as animal skins. ”

"In terms of weapons, the marauders used mainly regimental weapons, including 610 'Ripper' rifles, 50 PU-9 submachine guns, 98 'blade' assault rifles, and a small number of iron tube rifles and Centurion pistols."

"In terms of ammunition, their truck has 60,000 rounds of 7mm ammunition, as well as a small number of bullets of other calibers. 100 Iron Fist bazookas, 150 100mm ammo, and more. ”

While reporting the situation, Wrench handed a list to Chu Guang.

In addition to weapons and food, as well as things to keep warm, there are a number of other supplies on the list.

For example, gold.

For example, all kinds of wine.

These marauders inherited not only the Legion's equipment, but also their penchant for gold and alcohol.

After glancing at the entire list, Chu Guang had only one feeling in his heart.

These guys are really rich, they can be described as fat.

How much family did this Chewing Bone Tribe inherit from the expeditionary force?

It may be less than enough to arm a regiment, but it is more than enough to arm a reinforced company or a battalion.

If every thousand-man team is so fat......

Putting down the list in his hand, Chu Guang sighed softly.

"Thank you Lao Tie for the express delivery from thousands of miles away, I will use it well."

The wrench was slightly stunned.

Express delivery?

What is that.

But it wasn't the first time he'd heard something he'd never heard from the manager, so he wasn't too surprised.

Wrench knows that in the face of the vast ocean-like knowledge of the manager, what he understands is just a bundle in the ocean, and it is normal to not understand.

"The caliber of the Legion rifle is also 7 mm, but the length of the cartridge case is different, and they are not compatible with each other...... These 60,000 rounds of ammunition are a pity. ”

Wrench nodded and said, "Indeed, but their PU-9 submachine gun is a good thing, although it is less powerful than our short scythe, but it will be much more controllable." ”

The short scythe is also known as the LD-47C, the short-barreled version of the Scythe assault rifle, which is a submachine gun that "has an automatic rifle receiver and fires full-power rounds".

Compared to the short scythe, the PU-9 submachine gun is mainly designed for street fighting and trench sweeping, and the engagement distance is within 50 meters, and there is rarely a chance to go up to 100 meters.

At this distance, a small-caliber submachine gun with a high rate of fire really had certain advantages. Combined with an expanded magazine or drum, it can even burst out in a short period of time with a firepower advantage that is not inferior to that of a machine gun.

Chu Guang picked up a handful from the carriage and played with it in his hand for a while, with an interested expression in his eyes.

The weight of this thing is very light, less than three kilograms.

The shape is a bit like a Thomson submachine gun, but just the diagonal grip looks like it, and the internal structure is clearly not the same thing.

Chu Guang plugged in a magazine and fired a shuttle at the snowdrift on the side.

The sound like tearing cloth sounded very crisp and pleasant, but it felt a little less powerful.

"It's still very effective against ordinary gnawers or martyrs, but it's a bit difficult to deal with creepers, and it shouldn't be possible to break the defense against tyrants."

"It's okay for mutant cockroaches, rats, and hyenas, and the high rate of fire can make up for the lack of accuracy, and there is no difficulty in handling at close range, which is suitable for dealing with low-protection targets."

"However, if it is used to fight cockroaches, I am afraid it will not be able to return to its roots."

Chu Guang turned off the safety of the gun, put it back in the carriage, and gave a pertinent evaluation.

"You can give it to newcomers."

The newcomers here do not refer to newcomers who have just entered the game, but players who are at the stage before lv2 to lv5.

The vast majority of them have completed the "Passing on the Torch" mission, mastered the basic combat or survival skills, graduated from the master, and most of their contributions have reached the level of citizenship, saving enough money to buy the "user interface".

According to the economic system designed by Chu Guang for players, players at this stage can complete the second costume change in their lives within 3~7 days, exchange iron pipe rifles or bows and crossbows for "modern weapons", and start to experience the complete game content.

However, the LD-series weapons, designed for the current environment of the Vault's development, are not in fact suitable for newcomers.

Especially in the intelligence department, if the initial intelligence attribute is 7, the strength is usually only 3, and the first ten levels have the opportunity to add a little strength, and the awakening adds a little more, basically to lv10 to have a stable 5 power...... That's the average for a normal adult.

Without the help of an exoskeleton or mechanical prosthesis, it is still a bit difficult to operate the LD-47 assault rifle.

It's a good option for them to transition with weapons from other factions that are designed for ordinary people.

After checking the weapons, Chu Guang went directly to the back row of the convoy.

An armored pickup truck was parked there.

It is also the only one of the 8 armored pickup trucks that is intact, and the others are somewhat injured and need to be repaired before they can be used, or they are simply blown up and cannot be repaired.

Chu Guang was very curious about this vehicle, especially about its power source.

After opening the hood and checking it, Chu Guang then walked to the side and rear of the carapace, and found the fuel tank on the rear compartment.

The object was cleverly hidden, with the cab in front and the armoured steel plates on both sides, with a protective cover on top of it to hold the base of the machine gun.

Unless it is rounded directly behind, or directly penetrates the side armor, it basically does not hit the fuel tank.

Chu Guang opened the fuel tank cap, stretched out his index finger and touched it, approached his nose and sniffed.

The taste is light, not very volatile, and the oil is thick, a bit like diesel.

"Diesel?"

The wrench was slightly stunned.

"What's that......"

Chu Guang wiped his hands and said casually.

"It's nothing, an oil-burning engine, it should be considered an antique."

Fossil fuel engines are really old compared to this world.

Civilian-grade solid-state hydrogen batteries have been popularized in the era of prosperity, and some special equipment has used metallic hydrogen batteries, which are completely separated from chemical energy and directly use cold fusion.

No matter how advanced the technology is, the bottleneck of fossil fuel engines is there, and it is only a matter of time before they are phased out as energy storage and energy technology continue to innovate.

However, when civilization declined, many of the technologies that had been swept into the grave seemed to be unearthed again.

Looking at the wrench, Chu Guang continued to ask.

"Do you see fuel in those trucks? They may be in a drum, just like the liquid in this tank. ”

The wrench was slightly stunned, thought carefully for a while, nodded and said.

"I think I found it, but I thought it was the oil used to make Molotov cocktails, and it was counted in the raw materials, and it should be on the list I gave you before."

Chu Guang looked at the list, and sure enough, in the raw materials item, he found the item [Incendiaryr].

These marauders have a lot of reserves, 10 of them with a capacity of 200 liters, and some of them are packed in 5-liter kegs.

I am afraid that this fuel supply is not enough for an entire fleet, but it is enough to supply a few armored pickups.

Chu Guang frowned slightly.

Food can be robbed, but fuel is something that may be difficult to maintain by grabbing.

It's a wasteland, after all.

There are definitely a small number of survivor settlements with industrial capacity, and even if there is a production of alkane fuels, it is difficult to match them directly without uniform production standards.

"The Chewing Bone Tribe is suspected of controlling an oil well with an uncertain capacity and reserves, or other special fuel production facilities."

"What is certain is that this fuel contains alkanes, which cannot be edible oil after all."

"Is it an oil crop?"

Oil is not only a fuel, but also an important industrial raw material.

At present, the common organic chemical raw materials in Qingquan City mainly come from the cam trees planted in the large and small survivor gathering places.

The fruit of this tree can be pressed for oil, and the resin is high-quality rubber, which is not uncommon in the central region of the Central Continent, and the technology was born in the pre-war era.

Silently writing down this information in his heart, Chu Guang thought for a moment, looked at the wrench and commanded.

"Send this fuel to the outpost."

It's best to let Yin Fang identify the ingredients of this thing to see if it was dug out of the ground or produced by something.

This guy used to be a D-class prospector in the academy, and he definitely knows more about the wasteland than he did when he first came to this world for less than a year, and he must know more than Heya who just came out of the hibernation pod and Boss Xia, who is extremely superstitious about urban legends.

If the composition of the fuel and the production route can be determined, it will be able to help Chu Guang grasp the intelligence of the Chewing Bone Tribe more comprehensively.

And definitely more reliable than the information he asked for from the mouths of the captives.

After all, most of those captives have no culture, and it is easy to add their own brains when explaining problems, and sometimes the information asked is strange.

It's not that they don't want to confess, it's that they don't understand it themselves.

Chu Guang still remembered the believers of the Torch Church, using "miracles" to call the "collar" that could enslave the claws of death.

Wrench said seriously.

"Okay sir, do you need to send it over now?"

Chu Guang thought for a while and said.

"Tomorrow morning, be safe."

Noting down the manager's orders, Wrench was about to leave to direct the guards to unload the goods, when he suddenly remembered something and continued.

"By the way, my lord, in addition to the oil, there is also something on a truck, and we have been studying it for a long time and have not figured out what it is. They couldn't tell the captives clearly, but they just said they were Black Snake's stuff. ”

Chu Guang's heart moved, and he immediately said.

"Take me to see it."

"Please come with me!"

The wrench took Chu Guang and quickly came to the back of the truck.

I saw two guards board the carriage and carry a wooden box down.

Chu Guang opened the box and looked at it, and the whole person was stunned.

What the hell is this......

Isn't it the claw of death in the shed at the west gate that he raised, the lump around his neck??

Chu Guang immediately asked.

"How many of these things are there?"

The guard replied.

"We counted them, and there were 37 of them."

Chu Guang's face was happy.

37 pcs!

Boy.

It seems that the people who did the operation were taken away, and these marauders did not use these things at all, so they threw them in the carriages.

Epic enhancement of the intelligence department!

It's different from the previous ones.

I'm afraid it's really strengthened this time!

(I'm sorry to the brothers who have been waiting for a long time, it's not that I didn't want to update sooner, but I really didn't catch up...... I've been writing since 1 a.m., including the idea, outline, and text, and I'll have to catch up on it for a while, get up and continue writing. Originally, today it was supposed to be written about the settlement of the quest rewards, the basic meeting of the captives, and the next plot point...... But the hand speed is really insufficient, and I only write halfway there.

Really sorry! I'm going to try to keep it up, but I've never really tried to burst out for this long before, it's always been 4k. I'll do it in the morning, not ten o'clock, but before twelve o'clock, please give me a little time and forgiveness...... Love you guys. ）
