Chapter 406: Teaser of the new expansion, with communication from the East Coast
ββ¦β¦ Seeing the two infantry rushing up, saying that it was too late and that it was too fast, I was a sliding shovel, and at the same time I waved my claws, and then with two clicks, the man and the armor were divided into two in the middle! β
Next to the campfire.
[Picking up garbage level 99] sitting on the ground is describing his bravery on the battlefield. Sitting next to him was a circle of second-hand newcomers just recruited by the Death Corps, and at this moment, one or two listened to him bragging with bright eyes.
Although the scheduled exoskeleton has not yet arrived, it does not seem to affect the garbage dude from killing all sides with his nimble mouth and tongue.
"it!"
"Big boss!"
"Cow, cow, elder, can you let me ride it next time?"
Trash-kun rubbed his nose with his paw and said with a fluttering smile.
"Next time, definitely!"
Due to a series of factors, including weight, size, and the "calloused hands and feet" debuff, the Trash King did not participate in the airborne operation, but participated in the frontal charge with the Death Corps.
And also as a mount for the fringe dude.
Although the garbage king refused at first, seeing that the other death claws were honestly lying on their stomachs, he was also a little curious about what it was like to be ridden, so he stopped.
However, despite being physically a lizard in the game, he is still mentally human, so the way he fights continues to be human, making him awkward in every sense of the word.
For example, it is clear that the posture of "leaning forward with upper limbs and tails back" is more suitable for this body, but he can't help but straighten up and roll up his tail.
And this also causes the person riding on his back to be quite awkward, and the whole person has to lie on his back, the posture is like rock climbing.
Listening to this guy blowing the cow for a long time, he finally couldn't help but complain at the edge of the paddling.
"It's fun for you to have a sliding shovel, and then Lao Tzu was thrown to the ground by you."
The debtor big eyes sitting on the side laughed and teased.
"Anyway, why does the garbage dude always like a sliding shovel."
Yin Rena replied with a funny face.
"Maybe it's envy someone else's crotch."
"Hahahaha!"
There was a sound of laughter all around.
The garbage gentleman blushed, although the red was not very obvious.
"No...... No...... That setting, if any, must be bigger than you! β
The construction site boy and the brick's eyes lit up.
"I believe this, I've seen it in other mods."
Debt big eyes: "Brother, borrow a part to speak." β
Woken up by the laughter, Niko, who was lying on the ground and napping, opened half of her eyes, and when she saw the noisy little girl, her nose couldn't help but snort.
It's too weak.
Moreover, not even armor.
Curling its thick tail, it rested next to the blood-scented exoskeleton and shifted to sleep.
Happy enough, edge paddling sighed.
"Hey...... Sure enough, Lao Tzu should still ride his own mount, not to mention the riding experience, it feels weird. Although this guy is a eunuch, he is also a man under his skin...... It's the last time, brother, next time you'll have to rush by yourself. β
The garbage gentleman couldn't help but spray.
"You're special! Who has to ride Lao Tzu? β
There was another jolly sound next to the campfire.
A campfire not far away.
The crows, who had been eavesdropping on those players, covered their stomachs with laughter, and the vines sitting on the side couldn't help but bend the corners of their mouths and stir the fire with their branches.
Dinner was goulash with potatoes, and both beef and potatoes were military rations captured from the regimental camp.
In the end, the legion and the marauders are different, they don't eat people, at most they make soap, and the beef in the warehouse can still be trusted.
The old battlefield made a guarantee that the meat was slaughtered from the two-headed cattle that were stolen from the merchants and fellow villagers.
At this time, Ye Shi walked over from the airship with a foam box in his arms.
The hussar exoskeleton has become a bandage, and his whole person is now in a state like a munmu yin halfway through construction.
It is a miracle that I can walk without crutches.
"The manager said to add a meal to us!"
"Administrator big food?!" Crow patted the ash on his hand and stood up expectantly, "What kind of duck?" β
She is always fed as a taster, and no one knows better than her how much delicious food is "hidden" by the manager.
"Hey, ice cream! Captured from an airship! β
Yashi opened the box, handed her one, glanced at Fuji Teng again, and gave her the largest one a little embarrassed.
"Thanks."
There was nothing unnatural about Fuji Fuji, so he took it casually.
Although she is only 1.5 meters in the game, she is not in reality.
Ye Shi didn't know how to find a topic, so he didn't have anything to say.
"That...... What about my sister? That's it. β
Fujito thought about how to describe it for a while, but before he could speak, the crow on the side said unabashedly.
"Dead...... Hey, it was so sudden, I had just a premonition that something was wrong, and as soon as the bazooka was fired, the whole wall was blown apart...... And then then, and then she also shattered. β
Biting the ice cream, the vine pressed his eyebrows with a little headache, and complained in a lakeful voice, "...... You don't need to describe it in such detail to your family. β
Ye Shi was indeed stunned, but he was not too sad, just waved his hand a little embarrassed and said.
"It's okay, it's okay, but take care of that little one...... I'm sorry for your trouble. β
"No, she is actually very capable and brave, you can trust her more. And it's at least 18 years old to be eligible for the closed beta, since you're an adult, don't always think that someone else is a child. β
Although he used a mocking tone, Fujito still couldn't help but say a few more words.
I didn't think she was verbose until the night, but just scratched the back of her head, like a student who was punished by a punishment, and she didn't look like she usually did it at all.
Realizing that he couldn't help but preach again, Fujito stopped talking and changed the subject.
"Say about them? I didn't see them. β
Yashi sighed and made a helpless expression.
"Dead."
Both Fujito and Raven opened their mouths in surprise.
"Dead?"
"Old White ...... I think he's supposed to be a professional, right? β
There are players of any profession in this game, but no one usually talks about it every day, she just vaguely remembers who she heard say that Lao Bai has been a soldier.
Although I have changed jobs.
"Hi...... After playing this game for months, who can be considered an amateur. β
Yashi smiled helplessly and sat down next to the campfire.
"And don't underestimate the other side...... Those soldiers in black robes are not weak, whether it is equipment, training or physique, it is still a bit tricky to fight them. β
In peacetime, even if the training time is full, it is impossible to open your eyes and see death hanging above your head like in this game.
"The Sword Comes"
He still remembered that Lao Bai told him that there is no need to be too superstitious about the so-called profession, let alone be too confident in the profession. After all, major is only a relative concept, not absolute.
Those who can't swim were thrown into the wild river, fluttered a few times and survived, but they were not washed away by the water or eaten by the fish, so they could be regarded as water-savvy.
And even professionally trained swimmers dare not drag it out and say that no river can kill them.
That kind of bloody battle of nine deaths and one life, it is worth showing off if you survive, and it is not surprising that you didn't survive.
Ye Shi felt that it was an accident that he could survive.
The awakened person of the perception system is strengthened to the third stage of the sequence - that is, after the second awakening, the combat effectiveness is often inferior to the three major systems of strength, agility, and physique.
Especially in the extreme distance firefight, there is no time to prepare, just like Raven said, even if her perception is high and she can premonition of impending danger, it does not mean that she can dodge.
Before parachuting, Ye Shi never thought that he would be able to step off the airship, after all, he was good at medium and long-range black guns.
The people sitting in front of the campfire talked about what happened during the battle, and lamented that if only they had done at that time, their teammates would not have died.
However, no one is too upset about this.
Due to the ability to resurrect, death is not a taboo topic for players. After all, they could meet again in three days, and maybe they would go back a little faster than they did.
Of course......
Everyone tacitly didn't touch the topic of NPCs.
There will definitely be casualties in the war.
And unlike them.
Those people, when they die, really won't appear......
Squatting next to the foam box brought by Night Ten, his eyes widened in surprise with a bottle of ice cream in his mouth.
"Damn, this thing is weirdly delicious! Can you get another one? β
Night Ten said with a chapel gesture.
", I went offline and ordered a takeout to eat, this is a trophy, one for each person! I'll send it to other people. β
The old brother of the spring water, who was also standing next to him biting on the ice cream, couldn't help but sigh.
"Damn, even popsicles have them, and the days of these big noses are so moisturized......"
The construction site boy and the brick laughed.
"What's this, it's not in our hands?"
β¦β¦
The night is getting darker.
In addition to the players who received patrol missions, the players who were lying in the camp went offline one after another.
And as these offline players bring the battle report back to another world, the forum is even more lively like a festival.
There will be a delay in the settlement of campaign rewards, which will need to be distributed after the loot is counted, but it must be a lot of money to take down such a large airship.
The rewards of the managers have never let them down.
I just hope that when the flood is flooded, the silver coins will not fall too hard.
Although the rewards have not yet arrived, the score for the campaign has already been released.
The highest group score is the Burning Corps.
The battle for whether it was blowing up the gun bay or capturing the 400mm main gun played a decisive role in the battle, and with the complete loss of long-range firepower by the enemy, the Alliance's rocket artillery could be stably output until the end.
The best pilot is the falling feather.
Whether it's the difficulty of the flight or the difficulty of the mission, his performance in the campaign is obvious to all players.
Especially the cobra maneuver that slows down at the limit at the end, not only the players are stunned, but even the enemy NPCs are stunned.
Of course, a group of transport pilots, including the pigman brothers, are also quite good, and without the cover of the smoke rush, the airborne landing of the Burning Corps may not only be more than half of the casualties, but it will be difficult to successfully land for two percent.
As for the best conductor, there is no suspense.
While formulating a detailed battle plan, completing the integrated command of the air and ground, and reasonably maximizing the efficiency of supporting artillery, this achievement naturally belongs to the commander of Quanshui.
Due to the scale of the campaign exceeding 10,000 people, each person performs different tasks and positions in different positions, so the game no longer officially sets the "MVP of the whole game".
Instead, each corps selects the MVP of its own corps according to the performance of its players in local battles and the efficiency of mission completion, and decides who gets additional bonus bonuses.
This is similar to the previous decisive battle of Songlinyu.
As for the MVP of the mixed team of 1,000 people and the NPC corps, it is set by the game official according to the score.
Tail: "Oh! It's finally over, it's so hard! Although I didn't win the MVP, I was also very nice! (*β²??? ο½)?β
Roshan Big Bun: "It's me who works hard!" QAQβ
Siss: "Oh, the meat has worked hard, and I have run so far with Ah Wei, please remember not to run so fast next time, we can't keep up." β
Howling Sesame Lake: "Hahaha...... I feel like I'm scared, but it's much better than before. β
Since the corps commander served as the commander-in-chief, it was difficult to take care of the front line, and the most capable battlefield veteran went to be a "pangolin", and the battlefield positioning of the Storm Corps became a guard company, so its performance was not as prominent as that of several other corps.
However, the results were remarkable.
Of course, the most impressive record is undoubtedly the Burning Corps.
Less than 200 people landed safely, and in the face of Marine soldiers who were ten times their own and familiar with the terrain, they were able to deal a battle loss of close to 1:3, which was already quite ruthless.
Especially fight to the last man.
The high morale and fighting spirit completely stunned the other side, and it was precisely because of this that the Jungle Corps was able to complete the rapid raid on the lower cabin of the airship.
After reading the official battle report and the battle video uploaded by Night Ten, the melon-eating masses on the forum shouted that it was awesome and enjoyable.
Isn't this much more exciting than a blockbuster in Hollywood?!
Of course, raising the bar is also inevitable.
Ye Ao Na I can: "500 people kill 751?" Hehe, dare to call it elite? My uncle was on a mission in the Golden Triangle, and a team of four people directly took out a stockade! Killed a thousand less, the whole of Southeast Asia was terrified, and then the corpse was unclaimed, and no one mentioned it again, everyone who understands understands. β
Night Ten: "Is your uncle Iron Man or Batman?" (Funny)"
Yin Leina: "Fortunately, your uncle went to the Golden Triangle and not the Wa State, not to mention the special forces, the Buddha has to have fewer relics." (Funny)"
Elf King Fugui: "Tyson has to be beaten as a teddy when he goes." (Funny)"
WC really has mosquitoes: "Brother Guang, please, just give Brother Ye Ao a qualification, the standard of the reserved player has been hanging for a year!" β
Lao Bai: "What do you want to do with our version of the pet?" (squint)"
Hurricane: "Brother Guang said: Children don't play this game, just wait." β
Quit smoking: "Hahahahahaha. β
The forum was full of joyful atmosphere, but it was a pity that the Ye Ao brothers were still the same as before, pretending to be forced to run, and did not give people a chance to complain at all.
Fang Chang: "Speaking of Lao Bai, why are you gone?" β
Lao Bai: "That's not normal, it's just a pity that the equipment, hey...... It's a lot of losses. β
Edge paddling: "What are you afraid of, the corps equipment is the inventory of the alliance, and the individual equipment is separated." (bared teeth)"
Tempest: "That being said, whether or not you have it in stock is another matter. (Squint)"
Edge paddling: "Well, it seems to be, your exoskeleton doesn't seem to be cheap." β
Fang Chang: "It's not about money, it's about refresh probability." Speaking of Lao Bai, your contribution should exceed 10,000, right? β
Lao Bai: "Well, this battle should be enough." β
Commander of the Spring: "Awesome! Good brother, wait until you bring the dragoon to me and touch it. β
Lao Bai: "What's so rare, it's not the original, a battle-damaged version, I don't think it's necessarily better than an exoskeleton." β
Edge paddling: "it!" Don't give it to me! β
Night Ten: "This is too extraordinary!" β
It's so white that I don't think I'm in Versailles.
If it's really easy to use, why wouldn't the manager wear it?
Other players actually have a number in their hearts, but in the end it is the first set of power armor in the whole server, and everyone can't help but be envious.
and heartfelt admiration.
Contribution points and credits are two very different mechanics.
When the base is small, the mission may give more contribution points than the silver reward, but as the level increases, although the silver coins rewarded by the mission will increase with the tide, the contribution point reward will hardly increase.
Contribution point rewards of more than four digits are basically not earned by quests, and usually only appear in wars or when special relics are discovered.
100,000 contribution points, a full six figures.
Even if you've been playing since the server opened, it's too awesome.
This honor is even more dazzling than a medal.
A proper alliance hero.
Just when the players were talking, the ID and post of the curator Ah Guang suddenly popped up from the forum.
And the highlight is hung on the homepage.
Guang: "Thank you for your support of the expansion campaign, our server has survived the most dangerous moment, and the triumphal celebration and award ceremony for the warriors will be held in 5 days!" At that time, the new expansion pack 'Yellow Sand Ten Thousand Miles' will also be released, so stay tuned! (bared teeth)"
"In addition, to commemorate another victory of our alliance and the server's first 10,000-person campaign, the Wasteland Online operations team has unanimously decided to erect a monument on Deciduous Ridge next to the new stronghold, Deciduous Camp!"
"Until the end of the operation, all players who die in the operation will be able to leave their names on the monument."
However, for the sake of the authenticity of the game and to take care of the sense of immersion of other players, the names left on the monument will have restrictions on length and format, and no special characters, emoticons, numbers, etc. will be used. This name will be included as a 'Commemorative Title' and will no longer be used as an in-game nickname. β
"Also, you can't write another player's nickname on the monument, and if you use your own nickname, you will discard that nickname by default."
"The settlement of campaign rewards will be completed within one day, and the points raffle will be celebrated in 5 days."
"Let's toast to victory! Although drinking in broad daylight seems to be a little inappropriate. (laughs)"
After the post is sent.
The comment section below was instantly boiling.
Monument!
And it's still a newbie village in the future open beta?!
That sounds ......
It's weird and interesting!
Quit smoking: "Wait, what does it mean to stop using a nickname?" β
Canyon on the run mole: "It's just that you use your real name to go to the wall, you can't use this game name in the future, and other new players can't register this nickname, in short, this name is dead." β
Fang Chang: "Understood! It's a name change card! And it's a golden legend! (Funny)"
Quit smoking: "What's that? β
Fang Chang: "Literally! If you leave your name on the wall, you have to rename yourself, you can't say that I'm on the wall, people are actually still alive, right? β
Debt-eyed: ", can you still do this?!" β
Tail: "Oh!! Sounds interesting, can you use a real-life name? (?Ο?)β
Fang Chang: "Well, although it is not recommended to expose privacy in the game, but in reality, there are so many duplicate names, and it is not an ID number, so it doesn't seem to matter." β
The construction site boy and the brick: "If you don't understand, just ask, is it too late to die now?!" β
Lao Bai: "Don't think about it, wait for next time, and I don't think there should be a chance to go to the wall if you die." (bared teeth)"
Quit smoking: "Awesome!! This game is actually out of the name change card! β
Picking up garbage level 99: "It's decided, my name is Wu Xzu." β
Night Ten: "Damn! Don't be afraid that people will sue you for infringement! (Funny)"
Everyone was talking about the monument.
From the opening of this game to the present, there have been proposals to change the nickname function, but the official has never adopted it.
Now it's available, but no one really seems to want to change the name.
Although many people's nicknames are taken for a while, such as "Macabazi" and "Less calves", they still have some feelings in it after a long time.
With the help of Xiao Qi, Chu Guang quickly counted the list submitted by everyone.
However, after seeing the list, his brow couldn't help but twitch.
LI Lei, HAN Meimei...... These are relatively normal.
Although the use of celebrity names involves the issue of name rights, after all, the other world is not governed by the laws of the earth, and it is not impossible to turn a blind eye.
As for the strange names given by the sixth, eighth, Ultraman, and Ollie, it is a little too much to say, Chu Guang directly asked Xiaoqi to label it as unapproved, and sent it back for those unserious guys to rewrite.
I was busy until the middle of the night.
Chu Guang finally came up with a more detailed list.
2,934 "killed" shelter residents, including their life deeds and heroic performance in battle, as well as the cause of death.
The list will be used as news material for the Survivor Daily, Dawning City Daily and other media under the Alliance's umbrella, and will be edited and broadcast on radio stations such as "Voice of the Alliance".
At the same time, it is also proof that the alliance is demanding compensation from its neighbors and allies.
Chu Guang felt that Giant Stone City might not be willing to pay directly and happily.
But for the sake of long-term interests, East Coast companies will still give some points.
After all, this kind of ally who "really dares to go on something" and "can still win" can benefit from himself if he is himself.
It can't be chilling.
In addition to the players, the three thousand-man teams composed of mercenaries, the First Corps, and the Guards Regiment also suffered a lot of casualties.
Especially the artillery squadron of the 1st Corps.
The 30 100-mm guns deployed by the coalition in the artillery positions on the east side were almost completely wiped out, and the artillery was reduced by 60%.
There's nothing to worry about that equipment, after all, a lot of it was captured from the Chewing Bone Tribe.
What made Chu Guang uncomfortable were the dead soldiers, many of whom had been with him for a long time, and some were even veterans promoted by the original guard.
However, there is never a way to have the best of both worlds.
War has been so since time immemorial.
If it weren't for the "Singularity" technology formation field in Vault 404, which was able to project the player's consciousness onto a new body, no matter how hearty the victory was, it would have been overshadowed by the heavy casualties......
β¦β¦
Just as Chu Guang was counting the casualties, the captured legion engineers were working on the wings of the airship with their lights on, using a crane tower to lift the broken wings up and insert them into the broken joints reinforced by steel bars.
These repairs can only be regarded as emergency measures, and the durability of the repaired wing is certainly not as good as new.
However, if you want to replace the entire wing, you can only wait until you return to Dawning City before finding a way.
The engineer of the legion promised Chu Guang that it would be repaired within five days, at least to make the airship move, and to ensure a speed of 20 knots.
At a speed of 20 knots, it only takes 5 hours to drive back to Dawn City.
If it can be repaired in 5 days, it will not be difficult to catch up with the triumphal celebration 5 days later.
Chu Guang planned to take the airship back.
As for the other players, it's up to them to decide whether they want to take an airship, go on their own, or find someone to walk with them.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the bridge.
The ground covered by night was only sporadic lights, and the distant skyline was already faintly gray.
Before I knew it, I had been busy all night, and it was going to be dawn outside.
Sitting next to a control terminal, Chu Guangqiang yawned sleepily, and connected a VM to the terminal under the guidance of Xiao Qi.
"Can you control it?"
Xiao Qi's voice came from the VM.
"Woo...... Sorry, master. It's so little electronic that I can only connect to radar and shields. I can adjust the output power of the energy system, but it seems that the gear switching needs to be done manually......"
Although it was expected, Chu Guang still sighed.
"It's okay, just connect the two systems of radar and shield first."
Xiao Qi said energetically: "Okay! β
After the system is connected.
Chu Guang simply checked the radar of the Iron Heart, and found that this thing was much more advanced than he had imagined.
As a mobile radar station, its detection limit distance can reach 1,200 kilometers, but this distance signal is already very model, and it is estimated that it will detect larger targets, and it has no effect on small aircraft.
But in the wasteland, it's not easy.
Radioactive clouds that move along with the monsoon belt naturally have an ionizing effect, and the clutter is large enough to drown out the radar signal.
Although radiation is not the main threat to the wasteland, and the main cause of the wasteland is not because of nuclear weapons, it does not mean that the effects of nuclear weapons on the planet do not exist.
In addition to the impact of the environment itself, there are also runaway satellites and jamming devices operating in low orbits, resulting in the "effective detection radius" of the Iron Heart radar is only 100~150 kilometers.
It is not difficult to further increase this number, just dismantle a gun bay and replace it with a "radar array".
It's just that it doesn't seem to make much sense.
The vast majority of the survivor forces in the wasteland, not to mention the ability to strike beyond visual range, do not even have flying machines, and the Iron Heart only needs to watch out for some unexpected black technology.
Just as Chu Guang was fiddling with the radar with interest, Xiao Qi's voice suddenly came from the VM again.
"Master, the airship's communication system has received an unidentified communication request, and the direction is due east...... Would you like to connect? β
East?
Chu Guang was slightly stunned, and then he was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately said.
"Connect now!"
Communication Connections.
Accompanied by a cacophony of electricity, the sound of staccato conversations came from the other end of the communication channel.
The signal on the other side was in a rather bad condition, and he didn't know what kind of thing was used to make the signal node, but Chu Guang could barely hear the content clearly.
ββ¦β¦ Here is the enterprise. β
"If you have the slightest respect left for the ancient contract, stop the invasion of our allies at once, and release the Pioneer and its crew, otherwise it will be considered a declaration of war, and we will respond with war without mercy."
Ancient Covenants?
Chu Guang frowned slightly, this diplomatic rhetoric made him feel a little unusual.
It seems that two centuries ago, something should have happened that I did not understand.
That's not the point, though.
When he heard the second half of the sentence, Rao was in a serious mood, and his tightly knit brows still couldn't help but smile.
It would be considered okay to be treated as a declaration of war.
It's all already on this one, and both sides are about to kill red eyes, isn't it an official war?
However, the group of local tyrants on the east coast actually called themselves allies, which was beyond Chu Guang's expectations.
There is no covenant between the two parties, and the alliance led by Vault 404 is technically a permanent partner of the Enterprise.
Whatever the reason, at least in the face of the Legion's threat, they do see themselves as allies on the same front, deterring the Legion.
Even if it's verbal.
Chu Guang looked at Xiao Qi on the screen and asked.
"Can you answer their signals?"
Xiao Qi said very intimately.
"Okay, master, just say it, I'll record it and send it to you!"
Looking at the signal light lit up in the upper left corner of the tablet, Chu Guang cleared his throat and spoke in a solemn and clear voice.
ββ¦β¦ This is the Alliance, you guys are one step late. β
"In order to avoid further deterioration of the war situation, we had no choice but to launch a preemptive attack, and the airship has been taken by us."
On the other side of the communication channel, only the sound of electricity remains.
I don't know if I was confused, or if I didn't hear it.
Chu Guang glanced at the screen and saw that Xiao Qi popped up an emoji with an OK gesture, and knew that the other side should have heard it.
After a moment of emotion, he continued in a slightly heavy tone.
"However, we have also paid thousands of lives for it."
"Even if it weren't for us who were forced into the conflict, not for the survivors of the two provinces of Luoxia and River Valley, for the sake of Vault 0, for the sake of those shipwrecked crewsβ"
"If you can hear us, send reinforcements now while you can hear them now!"
