"Holy! Why is it a second-hand product?! ”

The barracks near Dawn City, next to the arsenal.

The spring commander finally saw the "jackpot" he had drawn, and he was dumbfounded on the spot.

The thick barrel of the cannon emitted a cold glow.

However, no matter how you look at it, it looks like it has been repaired.

It's not just the barrel, it's the rest of the exoskeleton as well. Although it has been repaired, bullet marks can still be seen on the jet-black exoskeleton.

Among them, the battery module and ammunition rack have obviously been replaced, and the helmet is completely wrong, presumably remade with aluminum alloy.

Boy!

It's not just second-hand.

It's still an overhauled battle-damaged version!

Realizing this, the good mood of the spring water disappeared in an instant.

The only thing that gave him some comfort was that the 120mm mortar and the automatic reloading system were still working. Fortunately, otherwise he would have had to bring a follower to help reload the ammunition.

That's like taking off your pants and farting.

Looking at the expression on the face of the spring water brother who wanted to cry without tears, the little players who were about to take a breath of European air next to him instantly burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha!"

"Laugh to death!"

"I feel sorry for Brother Shui, this head-on knife didn't dodge in the end."

"Woo woo, thanks for the plan! Finally cut this dog thing! ”

“#%@&！”

The old man of the spring water had a swollen red face, and he cursed and grinned in his mouth, and pulled up the battlefield atmosphere group and Lao Hei, who were smiling and holding back internal injuries, and went to the forest to test the gun.

Although the marauders in Xizhou City have been resolved, there are still a large number of xenos roaming in the forest.

These xenospecies reproduce extremely quickly and may spread from other regions.

Usually when there are many people, these xenos will hardly come closer, and will even take the initiative to hide far away.

However, as soon as they spot a lone person, they will approach them and wait for an opportunity to attack.

The 1st and 2nd Corps regularly patrol to prevent xenomorph attacks on the site of survivors, as well as lumberjacks who cut down trees.

But it is obviously not enough to rely on two corps to protect the security of five or six thousand people.

Early this morning, the quartermaster issued a large number of hunting missions, including almost all the xenos that might exist in the area around Dawn City.

These include youkai, myropts, mutant brown bears, deathclaws, claw crabs, frigate shrimps, black water snakes, and more.

On the one hand, their populations are weakened by hunting.

On the one hand, you can also make some game meat and improve everyone's food.

Perhaps one of the new Alliance's greatest contributions to the wasteland is the otherworldly cooking method.

Many xenomorphs that used to be inedible or unpalatable are now delicious.

You can also catch some game near Auroville.

On the other side of Dawning City, the larger xenos are almost gone.

The three of them walked in the woods for a while, and I suddenly stopped in the darkest and raised my right hand to signal my teammates to stop.

Seeing this, the spring commander said excitedly.

"What's the situation?"

I closed my eyes and frowned, and after waiting for a while, I whispered.

"It's about 500 meters from us...... It should be a little more easterly, and it should be a youkai. ”

The spring commander couldn't help but complain.

"What should it be, you're awake, can't you report the point accurately?"

"Gan! Lao Tzu is not a radar! I whispered a whisper.

The Commander of the Springs looked at the Battlefield Atmosphere Group next to him.

"Battlefield, you go and take a look, remember not to do it yet, I'll cover the barrage for a round and you will go again."

The Battlefield Atmosphere Team was speechless.

"It's still covered by a barrage, it's just a monster, can you use it?"

Can I earn back the cannonballs with the money from the mission?

120mm mortar shells, more expensive than 88mm.

"You don't understand! It's called prudence! The spring commander said with a heartfelt voice.

The Battlefield Atmosphere Team rolled its eyes and explored the way forward with its rifle in hand.

The spring commander put his hands on the ground, the support pillar was driven into the ground, his butt was pouted back, and the barrel of the gun was raised high.

I watched from the sidelines, with a strange expression.

I don't know if it's his delusion, but he always thinks this thing looks like a blastoise.

It didn't matter if he thought about it, his laughter was already low, and he almost didn't laugh out loud.

"Poof—ha......"

The Commander of the Springs ignored him, keeping his eyes fixed on the VM on the ground.

After a moment's wait, a line of words came across the screen.

Battlefield Atmosphere Group: [It's a monster, and it's an adult, and it looks like it's six or seven hundred kilograms. 】

At the same time that the message was sent, the coordinates of the monster were also marked on the map.

Seeing the news coming, the spring commander suddenly came to his senses, moved the barrel behind his back, and talked to himself excitedly.

"32 degrees east-north, 671 meters in a straight line - fire!"

As the words fell, the thick barrel made a bang, and the thick cannonball flew high and fell heavily.

The first round was not finished, and before the explosion could be heard, the spring water brother immediately made up two more rounds.

"Boom ——!!"

The cannonballs landed, and a dense burst of three heavy artillery pieces rang out, and roaring fires bloomed in the forest.

Before the monster could react to what was happening, it was swallowed up by the fragments and flames of the explosion.

I was the darkest on the side of the "......", and my face was full of surprise.

From a distance of 500 meters, although he could not see the explosion, he could clearly feel that the entire forest nearby was disturbed by the sound of the explosion......

Feeling the tremors of the earth and the hot wind blowing slowly, the spring commander's heart was excited.

This power!

It's a blast!

"Just do it all over the drone! By the way, Lao Tzu is from the Department of Intelligence, why did he forget to bring a drone out! ”

There was scolding in the communication channel.

“…… ! Can you say that before you fire? Fortunately, Lao Tzu hid quickly and almost disappeared with him! ”

Commander of the Spring: "Hahahaha! Good brother, isn't this equipment awesome? You wait for me for a while, I'll come over and see the kill radius. ”

Battlefield Atmosphere Group: "??? Did you listen to me? ”

The fixed stakes that had been driven into the ground were put away.

The spring guy picked up the VM on the ground and walked towards the shelling coordinates with an excited face.

Judging by the shrapnel embedded in the surrounding trees, the killing radius of this shell is nearly 30 meters!

The youkai near the center of the explosion was not only blown off an arm, but was also shot into a sieve by shrapnel, and died no more!

The Battlefield Atmosphere Team walked up and took a look, and found that even the mending knife had been saved.

Smashing his tongue, he was surprised in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel a trace of envy.

There's really nothing to say about this power!

……

Just as the three young players were testing their new equipment in the forest, the delegation of Camp 101, who was leaving the city from the southern suburbs of Xizhou City, happened to hear an explosion from the forest.

"What was that sound just now?"

The old man in his fifties looked up with a hint of surprise on his face.

His name is Butan, and he is an environmental engineer who specializes in water utilities.

After hearing that the new alliance planned to build a dam in the four new districts to control the overflowing Xizhou Lake, he immediately applied to join the delegation.

If the problem of the flooding of Xizhou Lake can be solved, a large area of black soil on the northeast side of Xizhou Lake can be reclaimed into fertile and fertile land.

He had this idea a long time ago.

However, it is a pity that at that time, there were hundreds of large and small survivor communities in Xizhou City, and they could not be united at all.

Later, when the Chewing Bone Tribe came here, the matter was completely shelved.

Now that Xizhou has finally ushered in a far-sighted leader, and the hero has set his sights on the flooding Xizhou Lake, he can't be happier.

"Sounds like an explosion,......," another electrical engineer named Yuan Feng frowned.

"Explosion?"

"Isn't the war over?"

There was a commotion in the delegation, exchanging surprised glances.

Seeing this, Lu Bei hurriedly stepped forward to appease everyone.

"Don't worry, it could be our soldiers...... It could also be that the hunter is hunting. Although the Marauders have been eliminated, there are still a large number of xenos active nearby! But rest assured, our soldiers will do everything in their power to keep you safe! ”

Craned her neck to look south, Pai asked curiously.

"Why do you use cannons when hunting? Shouldn't it be with a shotgun? ”

Lu Bei scratched his head, not knowing how to answer this question.

Pai continued excitedly.

"Can I go and see it?"

"No," Lu Bei didn't speak, but Butan, who was standing next to him, immediately reprimanded in a low voice, "It's too dangerous in the forest, and we're not here for an outing." ”

"Okay...... I know. Pai stuck out her tongue and replied in a prolonged voice.

The man in the white cloak who stood aside did not speak the whole time. The shadow under the brim of the hat obscures its features, and its gender is not visible without undulating lines.

Fang Chang, who was walking next to the party, had been observing this particular NPC.

This NPC gives him a very unusual feeling.

Unlike the rest of the delegation.

He saw with his own eyes that this guy had come out of that door.

At this time, Ye Shi, who was standing aside, suddenly spoke.

"I don't think it's human."

Tempest: "...... It's a shame it doesn't understand what you're saying. ”

Lao Bai nodded in agreement: "I used to think that the language barrier was a trouble, but now I think about it, because of the language barrier, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble." ”

Fang Chang: "Indeed. ”

The more realistic the AI, the smaller the heart eye, and most players don't have a lot to say about themselves.

Culture is like a photo, there's nothing wrong with a little filter, hello, I'm good, it's good for everyone.

Night Ten: "Gan, I'll just say it casually...... You're too careful with NPCs! ”

"No way," Fang Chang sighed and said with a sad expression, "Who wants this game to be so real?" The happiness of the rest of our lives depends on it. ”

Lao Bai made a helpless expression: "...... Fortunately, let's not talk about happiness for the time being, it's uncomfortable enough to lose favorability if you fail the hidden mission. ”

Sequence level means combat effectiveness, contribution level means social status, but veteran players who have played for a while know that both are just appearances, and the biggest variable in this game is actually the hidden "favorability".

This favorability can be understood as a kind of "recognition".

Especially the faction leader, if he has a high opinion rating, he can always trigger some quests involving the main story.

And the benefits of these tasks are often far greater than those of conventional tasks.

So why do so many people add a bunch of titles to managers? Changing tricks and slapping on the back? Is it because of idleness?

Of course not!

The game is not a real person, let alone making money, not to mention that it can make money, not chilling!

As the group was talking, a group of people came in front of them.

I saw a blue power armor, surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers of the Guards Corps, walking towards them.

Seeing the manager, Lu Bei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he greeted him excitedly.

"Administrator!"

Since participating in the airborne operation, he has been training the recruits of the Third Corps behind enemy lines, and after the war, he took Wang Zhong to Camp 101 non-stop.

Now that the mission is over, he can finally return to the adult's side.

Looking at this young man with loyalty written on his face, Chu Guang, who had untied his helmet mask, nodded with a smile, and then looked at the representatives of No. 101.

A total of six members came to visit.

For a place with a total population of only two or three hundred survivors, there are already a lot of these people.

It can be seen that the other party attaches great importance to the relationship with them.

Of course, what really pleased Chu Guang was the knowledge that these people had mastered.

It was even more exciting for him than the black box.

The old man who was walking in the front was about to speak, when Pai next to him stepped forward and raised his index finger in salute.

"Dear Mr. Administrator, we are from Camp 101, my name is Pai, the representative of the visiting delegation."

It's a line she thought about all night yesterday.

It's a pity not to say it.

Looking at her movements, Chu Guang was slightly surprised.

He'd seen this salute, in the collection of Vault 117.

If memory serves......

Is it a military salute of the People's United Fleet?

Thinking of this, Chu Guang said jokingly.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, new recruits to the fleet, but our ship is gone, and the last task given to you by the organization is to rebuild our homeland and wait for the day when we set sail again."

Every day, he can see the players doing all kinds of performance art, and he is no stranger to all kinds of jumping behaviors.

However, what he didn't expect was that the girl in front of him puffed up her chest and said crisply.

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! ”

Hey?

The airwaves are actually on the right track?

Looking at Pai who was "messing around" there, Butan looked at Chu Guang and said with sincere fear.

"Dear Mr. Administrator, please forgive her for being rude."

Chu Guang smiled.

"Don't be so nervous, you are not soldiers of the Lord, and you are not fighting now, so you don't have to salute me."

As he spoke, he restrained his smiling expression and solemnly stretched out his right hand.

"My name is Chu Guang, and my friends often call me Shuguang, so you can do whatever you want."

Looking at the big steel hand in front of him, the old man was slightly stunned, stretched out his right hand and shook it lightly with him.

"Butan, the environmental engineer at Camp 101, heard that you were planning to clean up the lake, so I took the initiative to ask Ying. Next to me is Pai, a student of the most knowledgeable man in our camp......"

It's not just Pai.

Butan introduced everyone in his entourage, including the cloaked, taciturn bodyguard.

However, he didn't say much about the person, only mentioning that his name was Lyra, and that his role was to be responsible for the safety of everyone.

Chu Guang didn't care, and after listening to the old man's introduction, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"So, you're an expert in water conservancy?"

Butan said with a smile.

"I don't dare to say as an expert, but hydraulic engineering is really in my area of expertise. I've looked up the relevant information about Xizhou Lake before, and this lake is a product of the environmental transformation plan of the Central Continent in the era of the People's Union......"

As soon as he talked about his professional field, Butan couldn't stop, and talked a lot about it, from the origin of the plan to the origin of Xizhou City.

Seeing that what he said was endless, Chu Guang hurriedly found an opportunity to snatch the topic back.

"Let's talk about this! But this is not the place to chat, please come back to the camp with me first! ”

"We have prepared a temporary resting place for you, and tomorrow I will go to Dawning City with you, and we can discuss it in detail on the way!"

Butan nodded excitedly.

"No problem!"

The group continued on their way.

On the way back, Pai had been wandering around Chu Guang, his big eyes full of curiosity.

Or, more accurately, the power armor that surrounds him.

"Is this the legendary power armor?"

"Yes." Chu Guang replied softly.

"Won't you get tired wearing such a big iron bump all the time?" Unable to answer, Pai said excitedly, "Can you touch me when you're not wearing it?" ”

This guy seems to have an inexhaustible amount of energy, and is full of curiosity about everything he sees.

Chu Guangzhi didn't feel very annoyed, but became interested in the field she was good at.

"I heard that your teacher is very good?"

"Of course! My master manages the archives of the entire camp! He understands everything! Pai puffed out his chest proudly.

Chu Guang nodded thoughtfully and continued.

"What about you?"

"Of course I'm super good! But unlike my master, I mainly study mechanical ......."

As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something, and immediately ran to the cloaked bodyguard, and pulled out a doll from the backpack behind it.

The doll was tiny, only the size of two palms, and wore a white jumpsuit with blue stripes.

The blonde hair and blue pupils are probably taken from herself, but the facial features are completely different and delicate, giving people a soft feeling.

Generously handed it out, Pai said in a pleasant voice.

"To you! This is a gift from Ambassador Pai, and I hope that we will continue to live together in peace and friendship! ”

Butan, who was listening from the sidelines, had a black line floating on his forehead, and pinched his eyebrows with some headaches.

While it is true that there is a part of exchanging gifts, it is clearly not the occasion to do this.

Looking at Payi's troubled appearance and the doll in her hand, Chu Guang couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth, and was about to smile and say a word of kindness, he understood.

However, at this moment, Xiao Qi's whisper suddenly came from his ears.

'Woo woo, master~'

This coquettish person who was caught off guard, Chu Guang's goosebumps came out.

Belch!

Where did this guy get his voice packet again?

Just as he was about to ask what he wanted to do, Xiao Qi continued pitifully.

'You can give it to me!' ’

Chu Guang was stunned for a moment.

What the hell do you want this for?

Looking at Payi's expectant eyes, Chu Guang, who couldn't stand Xiao Qi's begging, finally reached out and took the doll.

"Thank you."

A happy smile appeared on Pai's face.

"You're welcome! Time is in a hurry, and it's too late to prepare other gifts, so don't be surprised. ”

Come and don't be rude.

It can be seen that this puppet should be something very important to her.

Chu Guang thought about it and beckoned to the sky.

A fist-sized hummingbird drone floated down and landed firmly in his hand, retracting its propeller, which was as thin as a cicada's wings.

Looking at the silver-white metal ball, Pai's eyes widened in surprise.

"Is this a hummingbird?!"

Products of the era of the people!

Because of its small size and lightness, it can shuttle freely in a small space, and shoot without dead angles in all directions, so I heard that many people in that era would use this thing to start live broadcasts.

"Looks like I've met someone who knows the goods."

Chu Guang smiled and placed the silver-white metal ball in her hand.

In the advanced blind box, the Hummingbird drone is one of the few prizes that has nothing to do with weapons.

As for this hummingbird, it was the prize he drew from the blind box last night, and he drew two at once.

It's nothing to give as a gift.

Every hummingbird that runs over the new alliance is equipped with a defensive plug-in to prevent it from being controlled by hostile forces, even if it is hijacked and forced to land.

These security codes are written into the underlying logic of the operating system, enough to ensure that these things are within the signal coverage of the new alliance, do not fly where they should not go, and are not used to do things that are detrimental to the new alliance.

It is better to send drones than weapons.

Pai, who received the hummingbird, said thank you several times before holding the drone.

Looking at the puppet in his hand, the expression on Chu Guang's face was full of weirdness, and he finally stuffed it into his backpack.

This scene was seen by the little players next to them, and they exchanged in whispers.

"What's that doll?"

"Figurines?"

"Damn, managers still have this hobby!"

"This must be passed on!"

Tempest, who was not involved in the topic, coughed dryly.

“…… I think it's better for you to be quiet, other NPCs can't understand what we're talking about, but the faction leader seems to understand. ”

Night Ten immediately closed his mouth and stopped talking.

……

After returning to the camp, the two sides exchanged gifts.

A gift from Camp 101 is a holographic computer pen.

When powered on, the port's holographic imaging device emits a blue beam of light and presents a pale blue holographic screen in the beam.

The specific operation method, Butan personally demonstrated it to Chu Guang.

Even Chu Guang, who had seen a lot of high-tech, couldn't help but open his eyes and happily accepted this gift.

When the Trailblazer first arrived, he wanted to get a portable holographic computer, but unfortunately he never had the opportunity.

Now that wish has finally been fulfilled.

Camp 101 showed its skills to the new alliance, and Chu Guang was not stingy and generously gave a return gift.

The gift included 100 crab cakes, 100 nuclear cola sodas, 10 packets of coffee beans, a variety of pastries, 10 rolls of devil's silk and 10 devil's cloths, and more.

Anyway, in addition to the spirit leaf and nutritional paste, the representative specialties were all stuffed into Chu Guang's gift bag, which filled a truck.

For a survivor colony of two or three hundred people, this is undoubtedly a great gift.

When they saw the gifts on the truck, all the members of the delegation had a look of surprise on their faces.

"This ...... Wouldn't it be too precious. Butan said with some embarrassment.

Chu Guang smiled and said.

"These are ordinary items in the New Alliance, and they are not as valuable as you think, please accept them."

When we meet for the first time, it is natural to give more points.

Or how about a shocking effect?

As for the significance, it is naturally a demonstration of the prosperity of the new alliance and the abundance of products!

As for what's the use?

That's too much use!

If you don't give some benefits, how can you make others work willingly?

In order to facilitate communication, Chu Guang also gave Butan 100 100 yuan bills at the end of the meeting.

Looking at the old man with confusion written on his face, he patiently explained.

"In the new alliance, anyone needs to pay for something, even if it's a manager, and you can use these silver coins as event funds."

Confused as to what to do with it, Butan nodded respectfully.

"Thank you for your attention."

After setting up the people of the visiting group, Chu Guang returned to his camp.

Yin Fang also followed.

Seeing that there was no one else around, he stepped forward and said in a low voice.

"That Lyra, it's an android."

Hearing this, Chu Guang was slightly stunned.

"Androids?"

Yin Fang nodded with a serious expression.

"Trust me, I can't be mistaken."

As a front-line prospector at the Academy, he has absolute confidence in his vision and intuition. From the moment they first met, he had his eye on that guy.

Chu Guang had a surprised expression on his face.

After coming to the wasteland for so long, he had heard rumors about androids, but in reality it was the first time he had seen them.

"Android...... Any questions? ”

"There's no problem, but you need to be careful," Yin Fang said seriously, "If it's a companion-type android, it's basically harmless, but it's obviously not of this kind." ”

"But if it's a combat android designed as a weapon, depending on the ability, it will be more dangerous than the Claw of Death!"

Regardless of the variety and model, the combat power and power armor of the Claw of Death probably belong to the same echelon in the wasteland.

The former is better at heads-up and is more adaptable to complex jungle terrain, while the latter has stronger comprehensive ability and has good adaptability to any battlefield environment.

Chu Guang nodded thoughtfully and took note of this piece of advice.

He didn't think Camp 101 had any reason to offend him, but there was nothing wrong with being careful.

After explaining this matter, Yin Yi went back to repair the fuel rod.

Removing the power armor, Chu Guang was about to open the VM to see how his currency recovery plan was going.

However, at this moment, the backpack that he casually threw aside suddenly trembled, and a puppet crawled out of it.

Seeing this, Chu Guang was startled, and took out all the pistols in his pocket.

"Woo woo, master," the puppet that was pointed at the gun showed an aggrieved expression on his face, "Are you going to kill Xiao Qi?" ”

Hearing the familiar voice pack, Chu Guang pressed down the muzzle of the gun with a confused expression, glared at it and said.

"What the hell?!"

"I'm not a ghost, I'm Xiaoqi." The puppet sitting on the table blinked.

Chu Guang: "......"

Seeing that Chu Guang didn't speak for a long time, Xiao Qi said cautiously.

"Master, are you angry?"

"Nope."

Chu Guang sighed and put away the gun in his hand.

After pinching his eyebrows and sorting out his thoughts for a moment, he decided to start with the questions he was most concerned about.

"This puppet...... What's going on? ”

"It's a bionic robot, it's equipped with precision motor components, as well as rare bionic control components, except for being a little smaller, there is almost no difference from a real person!"

The puppet sitting on the table looked at Chu Guang happily, and said with sparkling eyes.

The vivid facial expressions, if you don't stare closely, really look like a real person.

“…… Of course,Its control program is much rougher than the peripherals,It's even the most elementary general-purpose version of the AI template,Even the facial expressions can't be restored.,Xiaoqi simply redid its operating system.。 ”

"From now on! This body is already Xiaoqi's, and it's okay for the owner to treat it as Xiaoqi! Hey. ”

Looking at the triumphant Xiaoqi, Chu Guang showed a surprised expression.

Having said that, Yin Fang didn't even see that this puppet was a bionic robot just now?

There's something about that little girl named Payi......

Of course, it may also be because Yin Fang's attention at that time was all on that Tianqin.

Chu Guang stared at Xiao Qi seriously and asked.

"Can you be sure it's safe?"

Hearing this question, Xiao Qi said proudly.

"Rest assured, master! Xiaoqi not only double-checked it twice, but also rewrote the underlying logic of the control motor! You can always trust Xiaoqi! ”

Chu Guang relieved himself slightly, but soon blushed again because he was worried that a girl was plotting against him.

Coughing lightly, he digressed from the subject.

“…… What's the use of this thing? ”

Xiao Qi proudly crossed his hands on his hips.

"Hmph, it's very useful, and the master can take Xiaoqi with him when he goes out in the future!"

The most important thing is that it finally has legs of its own!

You don't have to go up the stairs anymore and have to trouble Boss Xia!

"Even if you don't have this thing, aren't you next to me?" Chu Guang looked at the puppet sitting on the table strangely.

His VM is always connected to the Vault, and barely leaves the Vault's signal range.

It will be there for him at any time as long as he needs it.

"That's different!" Xiao Qi shook his head into a rattle and said with a determined face.

Although he didn't know what was different, Chu Guang still believed it.

Anyway, it's just a big slap, and it's not in the way when you wear it on your body, and you can still be a hole card when it's critical.

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by the sound of Ma Ban.

"My lord, there's a group of people outside our camp!"

Chu Guang frowned slightly.

Getting up and coming to the door, he opened the curtain of the tent and looked at Maban and asked.

"Who?"

Maban continued at a brisk pace.

"They claim to be from the northern Free State of Bugra and are employed by the 'Flints' group!"

Chapter 338: Even if it is the Emperor of Europe, there are times when there are wrongs

It's the New Year, and book friends with spiritual roots use this app to read aloud and listen to books on the road!
