Chapter 410: Funeral and Distant Visitors

"Dog spring water takes life!"

"Damn! I've pumped so many times...... Why can't you get hit?! Let me go! I've done a lot for the Union! I want to see the manager! ”

"Here, give me a hand!"

"The left leg is handed over to you!"

β€œοΌŸοΌŸοΌŸβ€

"Oh oh! This eyepiece is amazing! The little people you see are glowing! Tsk, alas, if only I could see through! ”

"Ahh Show me too! ”

"No, no, your head is too big! It's going to break me! ”

The sanatorium above Vault 404 was bustling with activity in the square at the entrance, and the players who landed got their prizes.

Portable shield backpack with spring water.

Thermal imaging eyepiece for the tail is included.

And so on and so forth.

The spring water, which was carried and dragged by the good brothers to a big tree, screamed miserably, and repeatedly called out "Dog Battlefield" and "Where is my son".

It's a pity that the brave general under his command has already followed the legion to the desert, and he may have turned into the shape of the legion at this time.

Wearing glasses with a square head and a square brain, the tail that made a hehehehe laugh was chased all over the square by the flesh, and Sisi and Sesame Paste sat next to the square and watched leisurely.

"I feel the eyepiece...... It should be attached to the helmet, isn't it strange that it is tied so directly with a rubber band? Si Si said with a little concern.

The cat's ears on the top of his head shook slightly, and Sesame said with a smile.

"Well...... Don't worry about these details. ”

The edge of the square.

Lao Bai held a short axe in his hand, and scratched the back of his head with his left hand.

"This thing...... How to use it? ”

The grip of the axe is orange-red.

The blade of the axe is not sharp, or even a little dull, but the side is as bright as a mirror, reflecting a bewildered face.

The chicken killer came over curiously and took a look, and saw that the axe was blunt and could almost be used as a hammer, so he went away with little interest.

Lao Bai's face was full of confusion.

This......

It's just a fire axe, right?

"Why don't you find something and try chopping it?" Ye Shi, who was standing on the side, didn't understand what was so special about this thing.

Tempest pinched his chin and thought for a moment, and was about to say what he thought, when a familiar and reliable voice suddenly came from the side.

"Hot melt cutting axe."

"Although the application scenario is firefighting, it is different from ordinary firefighting axes, it can squeeze the gas on the blade of the axe according to special effects, and form a directional jet of thermal cutting air at the moment of hitting the target at high speed."

"The charging port is at the lower end of the axe handle, and there is a button two inches above, and you can charge the capacitor by pressing and holding it."

The equipment that has appeared in the game can basically be retrieved in the official website database, and the equipment produced by the Vault has detailed information.

Even if it's just one piece.

Before logging into the game, Fang Chang had already gone through all the new equipment added to this lottery and had a general understanding of these weapons.

After all, the weapons in the vault are from the pre-war era, not exclusive to players, and since they appear in the hands of players, they may also appear in the hands of other forces.

However......

What everyone was surprised was not what Fang Chang said, but himself.

"Physical penetration, it's a black cut, that's rightβ€”it! Fang Chang!? ”

Looking at Fang Chang who was walking from the direction of the base gate, Ye Shi's eyes suddenly widened, and even the wind on the side showed a surprised expression on his face.

"You're up?"

"Hmm...... Sorry for being late, I just finished reading the update. ”

Fang Chang had dark circles on his face, probably because he hadn't slept well. Unlike usual, he also wears a windproof scarf around his neck.

Obviously, there are trees everywhere here, and there is no wind and sand to block at all.

"Aren't you hot?"

"It's fine."

On that calm face, a rare flush appeared.

After coughing lightly, Fang Chang changed the topic slightly stiffly, and said with a serious expression, "...... I'm putting things aside, what did you all draw? ”

"Big Sniper!" Ye Shi smiled, and his tone was a hint of show-off, "Type 15 'Python' Gauss Rifle!" Finally a European one! ”

Fang Chang glanced at him with some surprise.

"So you drew that gun...... Anyway, why didn't you bring it out? ”

Ye Shi said with a shy smile.

"Go to the city today, it's useless to take that."

Tempest teased.

"It's because the ammunition is not good."

Yajuchi scratched the back of his head.

"Ammunition is a minor problem, the main thing is the barrel ......"

Unlike the Administrator's Type 20 'Stinger' Gauss rifle with no barrel, the Type 15 is a long-range Gauss rifle with a barrel and rifling.

Because the projectile relies on rifling spin and the muzzle velocity of the projectile is relatively fast, the wear and load on the barrel is far greater than that of ordinary small arms.

However, compared to the Type 20 "tail stabilized bullet", the Type 15 bullet is much cheaper, and can even be rubbed by hand on the workbench of the weapons store.

Most of the company's Gauss rifles use a similar "barrel" design, and the barrel is made into a detachable type that is easy to replace, mostly for cost and convenience of local materials.

Fang Chang nodded knowingly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I've seen the data of your weapon, the capacitor can accelerate a 65g 7mm projectile to Mach 5 with full charge, and the lethality performance of long-range and ultra-long-range targets is very good, and it should come in handy after going to the desert map. ”

With a pertinent assessment of Night Ten's weapon, he then looked back at the Tempest.

"What about you?"

Tempest replied.

"Alpha Dog."

Fang Chang was slightly stunned.

"What?"

Tempest continued.

"A mechanical dog, he gave it a name."

"Mechanical Dog...... That A-1 ground weapons platform? Fang Chang nodded knowingly.

He also saw that weapon on the official website.

The shape is a 1.5-meter-long four-legged robot, with a conventional load capacity of 2.7 tons, which can be used as a mobile supply station, battlefield signal repeater, and even a "charging pile" for drones.

At the same time, it can also be used as a firepower platform, carrying 12mm machine guns, 40mm grenades, smoke generators, and more.

Whether it's a book or a team, this thing is very useful, and it's a god costume tailored for intelligence players.

It only took Fang Chang 5 seconds to come up with more than 6 application scenarios, and so far the whole server seems to have come out of this one.

Lao Bai looked at Fang Chang.

"What about you?"

Fang Chang smiled and said.

"Power wingsuit aircraft! I'm going to take it out of the shelter, and I see that it can be carried as a backpack or detached as a fixed-wing drone, but I can't wear a heavy exoskeleton after wearing this thing...... And I haven't played wingsuit flying, I still have to practice. ”

Night Ten: ", awesome!" ”

Tempest: "Goes well with your bow and arrows." ”

"It's okay," Fang Chang said modestly, and then looked at Lao Bai again, "Speaking of Lao Bai, your contribution points have already reached the knight?" ”

"Well, 100125, just got the knighthood!" Lao Bai grinned and said, "That power armor is quite expensive, it cost me 1 million silver coins." ”

Hearing this, everyone around was envious.

The first power armor on the whole server!

The server power ceiling has been raised again.

Fang Chang couldn't help but roll his eyes: "It's good to be able to buy a million silver coins, be content." ”

Ye Shi couldn't help but complain.

"It's Versailles!"

Lao Bai was embarrassed and smiled.

To be honest, he was a little worried about whether there would be any flaws in that thing at first, but when he actually put on that power armor, he immediately understood why the manager was always wearing power armor and was reluctant to take it off.

Although it looked bulky, it was actually more agile than expected, and when the power was full, it barely felt the slightest bit of weight.

Not only that, but the comfort of the armor is also quite exquisite, with a built-in air purification system and air conditioning. The service life of the portable reactor and the fuel rods that provide energy is calculated in years and months, respectively, so there is no need to worry about endurance.

Such a perfect equipment is obviously worth more than just one million silver coins, even if a zero is added to the back, the nobles of Boulder City will definitely not hesitate to take out tens of millions of chips to buy it.

It is precisely for this reason that the equipment needs a contribution level to be purchased, and after purchase, it will be bound to the user, and it can only be sold at a discount to the refuge shelter.

Speaking of which, some cloud gamers must be wondering, what happens if I don't follow the rules and laws and have to sell my bound gear to other survivor colonies?

That's a very good question.

After getting the helmet, spend nearly a year training the contribution points to the knight, and try it with an account worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, and carrying countless memories and feelings.

Of course, if you can't stand even the ban from the dog group owner, it's best not to overestimate your blood pressure and mentality.

After a general understanding of his teammates' equipment, Fang Chang continued.

"Speaking of which, what do we have for today?"

"The mission of the scientific expedition team, within the second ring road in the city center, will help our little brother Yin Fang get some research samples and come back, and by the way, test the new equipment he just got." Lao Bai looked at Fang Chang and teased, "Anyway, you are in such a hurry to do the task and don't go to accompany your little girlfriend?" ”

"By the way, I almost forgot to ask, where have you got?" Night Ten's gossip soul instantly burned, and his eyes flashed with light.

Tempest didn't speak, but looked curiously.

Fang Chang's gaze drifted to the side with a slight evasion, and the index finger and thumb that had nowhere to be placed pinched the sideburns of his hair.

The crowd waited for a while.

As a result, it only waited for an ambiguous perfunctory sentence.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's all too real. ”

There was silence all around.

Night Ten suddenly looked at the wind.

"Why don't you send this guy to accompany the spring dude."

Tempest nodded subtly.

"Hmm...... I think so. ”

Fang Chang: "......?" ”

Vault 404, Level B3.

Lying on the scanning table in the infirmary, Chu Guang confirmed the updated attribute panel through the tablet handed by Hea.

28 property points.

More than half of them are due to the fact that the progress of gene sequence development has exceeded 30%.

Compared to other players, his attribute growth is relatively balanced, and although one item is not outstanding, the total amount is ridiculously high.

In addition, after "Wild Instinct", "Psychic Deterrence" and "Swarm Thinking", the fourth stage of the genetic sequence gave him a new "gift".

["Victory Call": The vocal cords vibrate at a special frequency, injecting courage into the sound of the cry and making the resonant person feel invincible. 】

The new talent is also an aura.

At Heya's suggestion, Chu Guang experimented with her.

According to his own evaluation, his heart rate and prarenaline have increased, and there are small changes in other indicators, but the effect is not too obvious.

Maybe it's because of the wrong application scenario, maybe it's not enough volume, or maybe the biomimetic organ weakens the resonance between organisms and organisms......

In short, the effect is not as obvious as that of swarm thinking.

After all, when he was standing in the command headquarters and opening his talent, Chu Guang could clearly feel that the speed of thinking of the officers was much faster.

I don't know when I can give him a "total combat power +8".

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It seems that my previous conjecture was correct, and that your genetic sequence will gain evolutionary elements from the development progress of other individuals, thus accumulating your own development progress. Like you said, rubbing experience...... Although the principle is not clear, the general effect is similar. ”

Staring at the slowly fluttering DNA sequences and three-dimensional human body structure diagrams on the screen, Heya, who clasped her arms in front of her chest, whispered with emotion.

"Keep going at this rate...... It won't be long before you're a monster. ”

"Thanks for the compliment."

After putting on his shirt, Chu Guang's gaze fell on the terminal screen not far away, and the expression on his face suddenly became a little subtle.

Although it is a three-dimensional structural drawing, although this is an infirmary, although it is ......

It's still a little strange to be stared at all the time.

Noticing Chu Guang's gaze, Heya raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Anything else?"

"It's gone."

"Then get out of here, I'm going to continue my research too." Heya urged with a slightly excited expression.

It can be seen that the research materials she just got from herself have brought a lot of inspiration to her research topic.

I hope that her project will be concluded soon.

He was equally confused about what had happened to him, especially when he thought about the dream he had had last night.

In a dream.

He returned to the wilderness where he had been, but instead of heading south to Bate Street, he walked uncontrollably to 76th Street to the east, in search of the lights of the Shan Shan Tree.

It's a mutant lair.

The green-skinned men sat in the doorway and feasted, munching on rotten pieces of meat and humming doomsday ballads in rude voices.

He clearly "saw" himself, the man in the blue coat retreated with a pale face, accidentally stepped on the tripwire of a mine, and in a puff of smoke, collapsed next to a scrap car.

This is the end of the dream.

However, the slight difference was that the night was not a clear sky, and there were no two-headed dogs with harassers, but a heavy snow like goose feathers......

After coming out of the infirmary.

Chu Guang happened to bump into Yin Fang who walked out of the warehouse, only to see him with a sad face, muttering quietly in his mouth.

"What a waste......"

Chu Guang, who was thinking about the nightmare last night, raised his head, looked at him in confusion and asked.

"Waste?"

Yin Fang sighed.

"Well, that black box that produces coffee beans."

When he came back from the front line, Chu Guang brought back the black box from Vault 79 with him, leaving only a box to make blue coats for the newcomers, and the box that was too big to move away and used to produce portable reactors.

The "Champion" injection is a good buff for the player, the Vault researchers can also use it to refresh themselves, the "Fun" multi-flavored biscuits can be used to earn foreign exchange, and the "Asteroid" brand canned meat can be used as military rations.

How to use each black box, Chu Guang has already made proper arrangements, only the one that produces coffee beans is useless, so it is simply thrown to Yin Fang for study.

When he first got the black box, Chu Guang also saw this guy's expression as if he had won a treasure, it had only been a day, and he was already tired of it?

Chu Guang's expression couldn't help but be a little weird.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Is there anything wrong with that black box? ”

"No problem, the magic is like magic, the perfection is fascinating, and the coffee beans grown at an altitude of 1,500 meters are undoubtedly the best of the best......"

As he spoke, the expression on Yin Fang's face suddenly became indignant, "But why dry and dehydrate!" Can't it omit the last extra step! ”

Chu Guang was stunned for a moment.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Isn't it good to be dried? ”

He didn't understand it very well, and he didn't drink it.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Can husked rice still grow rice? And that cookie-cutter bean, even if it is ground into powder, can't hide the fact that it has no soul, I might as well drink it instantly. ”

Muttering difficult words in his mouth, Yin Fang shook his head, and under Chu Guang's blank gaze, he walked in the direction of the elevator......

……

The dawn rising in the distance climbed the treetops, and the midday sun shone on the northern outskirts of Qingquan City, which was much quieter than yesterday.

Yesterday was a celebration.

Today is the funeral of the glorious.

Since most of the creatures that survive in the wasteland are not picky eaters, most survivor colonies will burn the corpses to avoid attracting dangerous xenomorphs.

Over time, cremation became a custom.

The League perpetuates this habit.

However, for the glorious who have died for the Alliance, the Alliance will keep a tombstone for future generations to pay respects to, and respect their wishes whether to bury their ashes under the tombstone or scatter them where they want to go.

In addition, players have more options, whether they can cremate or lie down in the active substance conversion furnace and refine their corpse.

The recovered active substance can be used to offset the cost of resurrection.

The Soyuz's propeller planes stretched white smoke in the air, and several ace pilots kicked off the funeral with a superb flight performance.

The plane slowly landed on the airport runway.

Taking off his pilot's hat, Falling Rain complained.

"Damn! Why is my plane called Xiaochuan? ”

The mosquito who walked to the side said with a smile on his face.

"You gave your own name, who do you not open?"

Falling rain: "@#%! ”

The cemetery east of Dawn.

On the verdant lawn sit a blue-gray stone monument, and the quiet atmosphere carries a touch of sadness.

The master of ceremonies, dressed in formal attire, reads the eulogy in a long, steady voice.

There are many people standing inside and outside the cemetery.

There were officers of the City of Dawn, officers of the 1st Corps, as well as representatives of various professions and soldiers of the guard of honor. Outside the cemetery, there are also people who come here spontaneously.

This includes mercenaries who join the Alliance in battle.

Funerals are a rare thing for most of the survivors in the wasteland, especially if they are held publicly.

The corpse wilderness is where the wastelanders belong.

Standing in the middle of the group, Chu Guang quietly watched the funeral progress.

In the ceremonies regulated by the Alliance, people attending the funeral ceremony are not required to wear a certain color of clothing, but only formal and appropriate attire.

The blue armor called "Order" is undoubtedly the highest level of courtesy for the souls who died in the war.

Standing next to Chu Guang, Luo Hua's mood was a little low, and his eyebrows were full of heaviness. Although he was still recuperating from his injuries, he insisted on coming here on crutches.

"Sorry...... It's caused you so much trouble. ”

Chu Guang glanced at him and said softly.

"Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault."

Regardless of whether there is Luo Hua or not, the people of the legion will be here sooner or later after solving the troubles in Luoxia Province.

The jackal's ambition knows no bounds.

Unless they hurt.

However, Luo Hua didn't think so, still immersed in self-blame, his eyes were full of complexity, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Halfway through the funeral.

At this time, Lukka suddenly moved to Chu Guang's side and whispered in a very soft voice.

"The envoy of Boulder City has arrived in Dawning City, and the head of the mission is the head of the Boulder City Militia Regiment, who claims to represent the lord of Boulder City, and wants to talk to you face-to-face about the establishment of the embassy, the Iron Heart, and future cooperation."

After listening to Luca's report quietly, Chu Guang nodded lightly and said in a very soft voice.

"Let them come to me."

Lukka asked softly.

"Is it here?"

Chu Guang nodded.

"Yes." Without further questioning, Lukka bowed his head respectfully, turned and retreated into the crowd, and hurried out of the cemetery.

About half an hour.

When Lukka returned, he was accompanied by two guards and the Boulder Mission.

The delegation consisted of six people.

Chu Guang glanced at the man closest to Luca,

He was wearing the uniform of the militia regiment, with golden ribbons on his epaulettes, and his eyebrows were majestic and sharp, thinking that this should be the head of the Megalith City militia regiment.

If I remember correctly, his name seems to be Zhao Yongxu, and he is a close associate of the "Lord Fang Ming" in the mouth of Mr. House.

Chu Guang's gaze stayed on him for two seconds, then moved away and continued to look at the master of ceremonies who was presiding over the funeral.

The militia leader's expression was slightly surprised, and then a hint of displeasure flashed.

Noticing the expression on his face, Luca, who was standing next to him, whispered.

"Our Administrator is attending the funeral of a fallen soldier, and this is the most important thing on his itinerary today...... Please wait a little longer. ”

Zhao Yongxu's voice carried a hint of displeasure.

"Is there anything more important than our relationship?"

In his opinion, it was just a few boxes of ashes, and he could just find a place to bury them, so why bother so much.

After the usual wave is over, they usually pack the corpses of the mercenaries and the corpses of the xenomorphs to the cooperative trading houses for disposal, and they don't waste any time on funeral ceremonies.

Luca's expression didn't change, and he whispered in a calm tone.

"The Administrator often tells us that respect for death is respect for life...... You are in the prime of life and you should have a long time to go, so why race against the clock with the deceased? ”

Zhao Yongxu's eyes narrowed slightly, and a fierce light flashed in his expression, but it was only for a moment, and he quickly retracted his eyes.

Suddenly visiting without making an appointment in advance, he really lost money on his side.

But even so, the "pretentious" attitude of these people still made him feel a burst of anger.

They simply don't take them seriously!

However, now after all, it is under the eaves of other people.

Signaling his subordinates and other envoys beside him to calm down, Zhao Yongxu stood quietly outside the cemetery, intending to see what tricks the manager wanted to play.

It didn't take long.

He heard the master of ceremonies speak in a solemn and solemn voice.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Honor the 2,934 Vault dwellers, 231 Dawning residents, 71 Dawn residents, and 397 Boulder residents who lost their lives. ”

"Your sacrifices have brought hard-won peace, and we will continue to move forward with your ideals."

The officer standing next to Zhao Yongxu raised his eyebrows, lowered his voice and whispered to the messenger on the other side beside him.

"Residents of Boulder? Could that be what the man was talking about...... Those mercenaries who exchanged their lives for drinks? ”

The nobleman from the inner city also nodded with a subtle expression.

"It should be."

These people actually buried the ashes of the mercenary?

The officer glanced at his lips, and although he didn't say anything, the disdain in his eyes was even more red.

He didn't care who the hillbillies in the northern suburbs were buried, but he was offended by the fact that the mercenaries were the inhabitants of Boulder City.

If the cockroaches lying on the edge of the fence can be considered residents of Boulder City, then there are too many of them.

Zhao Yongxu frowned slightly.

What made him care was not the conversation of the subordinates beside him, but the mercenaries standing next to the cemetery not far away.

The complicated expressions on the faces of those people made him feel a little unhappy, but he couldn't tell where the unhappiness came from.

Chu Guang, who was standing in the cemetery, walked to the tombstone and placed a bouquet of flowers, finished reading the eulogy prepared in advance, and quietly returned to his position.

At this point, the funeral was nearing its end.

Chu Guang didn't expect the envoys of Boulder City to choke up with emotion from this solemn funeral, so that they would make concessions in the negotiations......

That kind of idealistic thing is simply not realistic.

But if their head is willing to come up at this time and put a bouquet of flowers on the tombstone, it may change the evaluation of many people.

Whether it's the people of Dawn City, or the people of Boulder City.

However, it is a pity that the man did not do this, and he did not even want to perform fakely, but felt that it would be a waste of life to stay for an extra second.

If it were replaced by that Duron, eighty percent would have taken this opportunity to make an impromptu speech and announce his friendship with the Alliance...... Anyway, you don't suffer when you move your mouth.

"Looks like a 'hawk'."

Chu Guang thought silently in his heart.

The status of the "supreme military commander" is out of importance, and the attitude of the "head of the mission" himself represents the attitude of the city lord himself.

I'm afraid this negotiation will be difficult.

But from another point of view, if the hawks' claws can be smoothed, the south side will become the strongest shield of the alliance.

This may be an opportunity.

He already knew what the head of the regiment was going to say next, and just when Chu Guang was thinking about how to talk about it for a while, Xiao Qi's light words came from his ears.

"Master."

"There's a plane coming due east!"

Chu Guang hesitated slightly.

"Airplanes?"

Xiao Qi said energetically.

"Hmmm! There are a lot of them. ”

……

(Thanks to the leader of "iiiiiiiiiiix" for his reward!! οΌ‰
