"Good brother, the task of promoting the art is entrusted to you!"

"Hehe, I remember you didn't ask Ah Guang if he could build a female number? Here's an opportunity for women's clothing! ”

"Try Black Silk too!"

"Don't forget the artwork of Fuji Fuji!"

", !!"

Someone's hoarse shouts were heard from the runway of the airport, and the door of the "killer whale" transport plane slowly closed amid the laughter and farewell of everyone.

The drum-shaped engine spewed out a blue arc of light downward, pushing the massive body up from the runway of the airport and flying smoothly forward.

Carrying the friendship and blessings of the inhabitants of the southern part of the river valley province, the faint blue light and shadow disappeared into the distant sky.

It will bring more here.

In the crowd outside the airport, Dolly folded her hands in front of her chest and silently recited her blessing.

After the plane vanished, she quietly turned away from the crowd.

Lao Bai, Night Ten and Tempest stood outside the crowd, one power armor plus two exoskeletons, and a "Alpha Dog" next to them, the lineup was quite luxurious.

Walking up to Dolly, Lao Bai tapped twice on the helmet and undid the mask.

"We'll take you to Boulder...... But isn't you really here waiting for him to come back? ”

"I have to go back to work," Dolly whispered, looking at the power armor in front of her, with some restraint, "that ...... I can't afford to pay that much. ”

Lao Bai smiled and said, "The reward has already been given, you don't have to worry about it, we will send you safely." ”

Dolly was stunned.

"How much did he give you?"

"That's not at least three meals," said Lao Bai with a grin, "Dude talks about money and hurts feelings." By the way, don't think about paying for that guy, we won't recognize what others invited. ”

Seeing that Lao Bai said this, although Dolly was still a little embarrassed, she still accepted everyone's kindness and nodded lightly.

Fang Chang told her before leaving that these three were his good brothers.

When he is away, he can contact them if he has any trouble.

On the other side, on the airport.

Looking at the direction in which the plane disappeared, Yi Chuan was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses, looking at Chu Guang on the side and asking.

"Just now...... What is he shouting? ”

Seems to hear a ""?

What is ""?

"Uh...... In short, it means goodbye," Chu Guang coughed dryly, and said with a subtle expression, "In Vault 404, we will only use this word for our best friends. ”

Yi Chuan had a sudden expression on his face.

"I see...... 'Get out' means goodbye, your language is so strange."

Shouting out loud must be an expression of strong feelings and reluctant thoughts of friends.

This should be remembered.

"It's been 200 years...... It's normal for accents to change somewhat, and everyone has a scripture that's hard to read, so let's not discuss it. Afraid that this guy would go to his heart, Chu Guang hurriedly diverted the topic.

Repeating the strange pronunciation over and over again in his mouth, Yi Chuan nodded, except for writing down this pronunciation, he didn't take it too much to heart.

The world is so big.

Many of the shelters went.

Compared to the bizarre plans and schemes, Vault 404 seemed to him to be relatively normal......

……

In the distant province of Luoxia, a small town in the northeast, on the edge of a coal mine like a loess mound, there is a row of shacks.

On one side it was for slaves, and on the other side it was for temporary workers.

"Wake up, get up, it's time to get to work. Damn, I slept like a pig, and I still don't want to be paid? ”

A calloused hand slapped his face.

The Battlefield guy, who had just landed in the game, opened his eyes.

The scorching sunlight penetrated through the cracks in the wooden wall and sprinkled on the face, but what caught the eye was not a lovely face, but an old face that had been sunburned to molt and was black and red.

That man was the overseer of the mine.

The wrinkled skin reminded the Battlefield of a nibder, and his eyes subconsciously exuded murderous aura.

Stunned by the miner in front of him, the overseer subconsciously took a step back, but soon realized that he was the overseer, and glared back viciously.

"What do you see? Are you still going to do it? ”

The guard standing at the door carried a revolver on his waist, and his eyes drifted to this side intentionally or unintentionally, and the threat was as obvious as the shining silver light on the revolver trigger.

However, the Battlefield didn't take him seriously at all.

As a Dexterity Awakened with a third stage of genetic sequence, even if he was lying on his back now, there were at least three or more ways to press these two idiots to the ground and rub them on the ground like dead dogs.

However......

He couldn't have done that.

“…… Dry. ”

Shaking his groggy head, the Battlefield slipped out of his sleeping bag and walked towards the hill not far away, carrying a pickaxe resting next to the shack.

Seeing the man's back, the overseer breathed a sigh of relief, raised his sleeve and rubbed his forehead, only to realize that he was sweating in his palm.

There are two types of people who work in the mines.

One is the slave of the mine owner, and the other is the odd job.

The former is easy to manage, and according to the laws of the Golden Lizard Kingdom, slave owners have the right to dispose of their slaves in any way they want, as long as they can provide a fair contract as proof.

The latter is more complicated.

Some of them fled from their enemies, and some of them were merchants or mercenaries who had fled here after encountering marauders and losing their luggage.

Like the one just now.

The look in his eyes......

It's like crawling out of a pile of dead people......

At this moment, the Battlefield guy who was walking to the mine didn't know what the overseer who had become an ugly eater thought of him, and he was silently calculating how many gold lizard coins he would have to spend to get to Oasis 9.

This is a third of the town, also known as the town of three points, the origin of the name is unknown, he only knows that this is located in the northeastern border of Luoxia Province, the southernmost part of Oasis No. 8, and the oasis where it is located belongs to the territory of the Golden Lizard Kingdom.

It is rich in coal mines, iron ore, and the most common slaves found in the wasteland.

The locals themselves did not capture slaves, but there were always travelers who, for various reasons, lost their possessions and could not afford to leave the desert, so they had to sell themselves to nearby mine owners or wealthy local owners.

It's probably like the predecessor of the Red River Alliance.

However, due to the low output value, the futures market has not been developed.

In addition, the development level here is also very low, unlike in the southern part of the valley province, where nutritional pastes can be bought. The only generator in town is in the mine, and a vending machine-converted punch-card robot is probably the blackest technology here.

The cheapest food here is dry brown bread, which can buy about a pound of gold coins, and then milk, which is so cheap that the locals use it as water.

The Warfield calculated that if he wanted to get to Oasis 9, he would have to prepare water and food for at least two weeks, and it would be for two.

Even if you eat bread every meal, you have to prepare at least 32 gold lizard coins, including the cost of fresh water.

I'll give 4 gold lizard coins for a day's work.,I'm an awakened person.,Although it's an agility system.,But the strength attribute is not low.,It shouldn't be a problem to work hard to get 6 gold coins.。

“…… In this way, it will take at least 5 days. ”

"Wait, no, I almost forgot to count my daily expenses...... In fact, you can only save 2~3 gold lizard coins in a day. ”

The battlefield guy counted with his fingers, and suddenly found that even if he tried his best to dig the mine, it would take nearly two weeks to save enough money for the journey.

"Spicy chicken game, play Nima!"

With a curse, he slammed his pickaxe against the rock wall.

Gan!

The jumping sparks startled the miners next to them and dodged to the side.

Boy.

This grandson wants to collapse the mine!

Gotta stay away from him!

Maybe the exaggerated action was too terrifying, or maybe his expression was too terrifying, and before he knew it, only the battlefield guy was left in the entire mining section.

The battlefield guy who turned his grief and anger into strength seemed to be a real pangolin at this moment, only listening to the continuous sound of clanging, and in a short time the chiseled ore filled an entire minecart.

Rolled up my sleeves and worked all day.

Finally exhausted and out of the mine, the Warfield took the day's pay from the pesky overseer at the door.

The overseer wanted to withhold a little water, but he was frightened by the angry eyes, and he didn't dare to reach for it.

Weighing the pitiful 6 gold coins in his hand, the battlefield guy couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart.

Compared to these vampires, their managers are simply too conscientious and gentle!

The minimum hourly wage for the league is one silver coin.

You can earn at least 12 silver coins for working 12 hours a day, but that's the minimum wage, and since the Union was founded, almost no one has lived on it.

Due to the rapid economic growth, coupled with the alliance's investment in industry regardless of cost, to encourage production internally, and to issue bonds to attract investment, the major factories in the alliance industrial zone are recruiting.

As long as you are literate, you can easily find a job with a monthly salary of 500~600 silver coins, and if you are illiterate, you can also register for a class in a night school, and learn cultural knowledge while doing odd jobs.

If it is a technician with a skill, the salary starts at 4 figures, and there is no upper limit.

The only thing that he couldn't figure out was that since "Wasteland Online" always flaunts being true, where did all this money come from?

I didn't see the manager pick anyone's wool or cut anyone's leeks, I saw the alliance bank scattering money everywhere, and the rewards given by the task were never ambiguous.

How did this exaggerated quantitative easing keep inflation under control?

Puzzled, the Warfield decided not to think about this complicated issue for the time being.

Anyway, he couldn't figure it out, just do the job that pangolins should do.

With today's paycheck, the Warfield did not go back to the shack, but went to a nearby town.

There's also a drag bottle waiting to be fed.

He swears.

When the task given to him by the manager is completed, this guy must be chopped up!

Taking a deep breath, the Warfield put away his negativity and pushed open the door to the hotel.

As soon as he entered the lobby of the hotel, and before he could go up the stairs, he saw Colway lying drunkenly at the bar in the lobby, with a table of halax and a half-drunk beer beside him.

Noticing the shadow falling on the table, Colway opened his half-squinted eyes and saw the Battlefield guy standing nearby.

With a grin, he waved his furry arms.

"Ah...... Pangolin, you're back, Hiccup—"

"The beer here is really good...... Let's have a drink together, by the way, do you have any money on you? Settle the money for the drink for me, and I'll pay you back when I get back. ”

Battlefield took another deep breath.

Not good.

Blood pressure is elevated!

Resisting the urge to kill, he looked at the boss behind the bar and asked through gritted teeth.

"How much?"

"5, 5 Golden Lizard Coins."

Watching with the murderous eyes, the boss's voice stammered, and his hand had already reached for the gun hidden under the bar.

5 pieces?!

Hearing this number, the Battlefield almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood, his eyes instantly turned red, and he reached out and grabbed Colway's collar.

It doesn't matter what identity you are.

He dragged the drunken Colway up and carried it in front of him, his nose eager to poke into his eyes.

"Are you crazy! 5 golden lizards, do you know how much Lao Tzu earns in a day of exhaustion?! ”

"6 pieces! 6 pieces! ”

"Lao Tzu worked all day for those vampires who eat people and don't spit out bones, and I didn't eat a bite of food, but you drank here for a day!"

"Why do you want to go back to the Legion? Isn't it a gentleman? ”

The Battlefield roared angrily, swearing and even hoarse, so that the original stammering human coupling slipped out of breath.

The entire tavern fell silent, staring dumbfounded...... Including the boss standing behind the bar.

Corps?

These two ...... Is it the Legion?

His shoulders rose and fell violently, like waves lapping on the shore, and the battlefield guy's eyes turned into brass bells.

If his eyes can kill, the guy he carried in his hands has died countless times, and he has never been soft on killing the legion.

Grass!

Niang Xipi, Lao Tzu can't bear it!

He feels that he is aggrieved at this moment, like a little daughter-in-law who has worked two jobs to support the family, and her husband is still a waste who eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, does not work, and is addicted to alcohol all day long.

Anyway, the legion is red, right?

It's a red name, right?

Red names can be killed, right?

It doesn't matter what the whole district is worried about, he has already thought about it, if he kills this guy, he will commit suicide, three days is three days, it's better than wasting three months!

Your NPC is not a person-

Don't blame you for being a bad person!

"What the are you doing—"

Colway, who was grabbed by the collar, was stunned, looking at the pangolin who grabbed his collar and was about to scold angrily, when he suddenly noticed the look of "hating iron does not make steel", and stopped when the words came to his mouth.

A wave of shame rolled in his chest.

When he rolled up his sleeves in the coal kiln to work in order to save the money for the return of the original army, he actually used his hard-earned hard-earned money to buy drunk, anesthetize himself with alcohol, escape from failure, and escape from reality.

As a noble Willant, his loyalty to the Legion and His Majesty the Marshal was lost to a wasteland guest who was born in the wilderness......

Shame turned to remorse, and Colway closed his eyes in agony and let out a sigh.

"I'm sorry ......"

“……”

The Battlefield's chest rose and fell violently, and he gritted his teeth with hatred.

He was thinking about how to arrange this guy's death, but he didn't expect to hear the words sorry in this mouth.

“…… I know that my escapist appearance is ugly, my cowardice and incompetence have betrayed your loyalty, and I am not a good leader. ”

Looking at the angry pangolin, Colway's Adam's apple moved, and the guilt in his eyes became more and more intense.

Suddenly, as if he had made up his mind, he spoke.

"Pangolins."

"What for?" The Battlefield said viciously.

He was angry when he heard the name pangolin now, and he was so angry that he wanted to cut himself down.

Colway looked at him.

"Kill me."

The battlefield guy was slightly stunned, and was stunned by the expression on his face and this sentence.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Colway continued in a calm tone.

"Take my head back to the province of the River Valley, where the survivors live...... It should give you a sum of money. I am ashamed of my decadence and self-defeating, I am not worthy of your loyalty, this is the last reward I can give you, and I hope it will compensate for your disappointment. ”

Looking at those sincere eyes, the Battlefield fell silent, and the hand that grabbed him by the collar loosened, and then tightened again.

This bastard......

“…… Lao Tzu walked for a week...... No, it's two weeks, just for the head of a centurion? ”

Who cares about your head!

Is it true that the Alliance is a scalping native?

Staring at the guy deadly, he squeezed a word out between his teeth.

“…… If you still have a little bit of self-esteem and pride in your heart, slap yourself twice and get up from here! You lose, but you're still alive, and what you can do is die! I'm going to die on the way back! ”

The Warfield let go of his hand and nudged him, throwing him back to the bar to sit.

It's easy to kill someone.

But dead people are worthless.

Battlefield admits that he did have some impulsiveness just now, and thought about giving up on himself.

Just a game.

Lao Tzu needs to suffer from this bird's anger?

But after calming down and thinking about it, he finally let go of the anger in his heart.

Especially when he recalled that night, the little girls who fought bravely with the pursuers of the legion in the forest, made him feel even more red.

Anyone who came into contact with the game later than him, and who was weaker than him, was able to hold on with optimism and fight bravely to the end......

What qualifications do you have to give up lightly?

He did a good job along the way, not only did he succeed in gaining the trust of the Legion officers, but Colway even promised to introduce him to General Griffin, and he was only a little bit away from success......

He is far from the end of the mountain.

“…… It seems that I am not strong enough. Glancing at Colway, who was lost in thought, the Battlefield muttered in his heart.

For different reasons, both of them seemed to fall into reflection and calmed down in unison.

However, at this moment, the Warfield suddenly noticed that the entire tavern was watching him.

Also noticing the eyes of the onlookers, Colway's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed, and he whispered.

“…… Did you just say the Legion? ”

At this time, even if it was denied, it was useless, and the people around him obviously heard it.

The battlefield's Adam's apple moved, and he nodded slightly.

"Hmmm......"

, sloppy.

There were more than two dozen people in the lobby, each with a gun, and although they had drunk a little, they didn't look like weak chickens.

With his skills, I'm afraid that at most half of it will be solved and it will have to be beaten into a sieve.

This is still a relatively optimistic situation.

To his surprise, however, there was no movement from the crowd.

Is it waiting for an opportunity?

Just as he was thinking in his heart, in front of a round table near the door, a man who looked like a merchant exchanged a few words with the two mercenaries next to him, stood up from the table, and walked in the direction of the two.

The battlefield nerves tensed, staring at him intently, and his right hand had already touched the table knife.

It's not just about being on the lookout for this person.

It's also about keeping an eye out for the innkeeper behind the bar.

The movement under the table was obvious, whether it was the sound of opening the safety or pulling the trigger, the bearded middle-aged man had already grasped the gun hidden there.

And it's to put the revolver.

The battlefield calmly observed the situation in the lobby, and had already calculated in his heart.

If the boss pulls out the gun, he will immediately slit the guy's throat with the dinner knife in his hand, and then throw Colway behind the bar, using the bar as cover to exchange fire with the rest of the lobby.

This is the border of the Golden Lizard Kingdom, and it should not be difficult for camels to be tied to the backyard of the inn to steal supplies from other caravans, and escape into the desert......

"Don't be nervous...... We have no ill will. ”

The merchant smiled as he walked towards the two of them, raising his hands to indicate that he had no weapons.

"My name is Adan and I am from the Free State of Bougerra...... Two of you are from the Legion? ”

The battlefield guy was slightly stunned.

"Yes."

The merchant, Adan, continued with interest.

"It's really strange...... This is Oasis 8, have you already made it here? ”

The battlefield exchanged glances with Corway on the side.

The latter cleared his throat, stood up from the front of the bar, regained his officer's aura and style, and took over the conversation from the Battlefield.

"We had a bit of an accident and got separated from the army."

Hearing this, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief and no longer looked at this side, but there were some topics related to the frontline war in the staggered voices.

The merchant named Adan nodded abruptly, and looked the man in front of him up and down with his eyes, as if he was pondering the identity of this person.

Touching his chin, he said thoughtfully.

"I see...... In other words, the battle on Oasis 9 is not over yet? ”

Colway's expression was a little embarrassed.

Originally, the Iron Heart planned to return to Oasis 9 and join the troops on the front line, but no one expected that they would encounter a group of deadly natives, and they were stunned to knock down the airship that could not fail.

Without the Iron Heart's fire support and high-altitude reconnaissance, the Falcon Kingdom and the Legion's coalition forces in Oasis 9 clearly did not meet expectations.

If they had succeeded in meeting the division, I am afraid that Oasis 9 would have been taken long ago.

As if he had misunderstood the expression on Colway's face, Adan smiled and said.

"Don't be nervous, we have no ill will, in fact...... We happen to have a shipment of supplies to be delivered to Oasis 9, and if you don't dislike it, we can go with us. ”

A shipwrecked officer.

The identity itself is full of stories.

If this hapless creature can be sent back to the Legion, the Legion will never be stingy with payment.

What's more, this favor is definitely beneficial and harmless to a businessman like him who deals with the Legion, and many people in the Free State of Bugerra have made a fortune from these big noses.

Colway's eyes lit up, but his heart quickly became alert, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"How do I know you won't sell me into the hands of the Lion Kingdom."

While drunk.

But his IQ is still online.

Adan made a helpless expression, put his hand into his arms, and took out a list under the alert gaze of the two.

"You should know this order, right?"

Cole narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the words written on the order, and surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.

The Warfield noticed the change in his expression, but he didn't have a translation tool and couldn't recognize the words written on the paper, so he could only ask in a low voice.

"What's written on that?"

"Eight thousand rifles, 1.2 million rounds of ammunition...... It was a purchase contract with the stamp of the regiment and the signature of the logistics chief, and I recognized the guy's handwriting. ”

Colway looked at the merchant named Adan with no longer alarm in his eyes, but excitement.

"You're going to Oasis Nine?"

"Of course, it seems that you are the same," Adan smiled as he withdrew the order from his arms, and then held out his right hand to Coleway, "In that case, if you don't dislike it, we can be together." ”

Colway grabbed his right hand and shook it, his eyes drifting around unconsciously, and asked in a low voice.

"Are these people all right?"

Seeing the worry in his eyes, Adan smiled and said.

"What could be the problem? Revering the teachings of the spirit of the sand sea, according to the ancient covenant, although all the kings of the desert have sent a declaration of war to the falcon kingdom, only the lion kingdom has really sent troops. ”

"The Hump Kingdom is in the southernmost part of the desert, too far away, and it doesn't want to fight. The royal family of the golden lizard has long been less religious...... It seems a bit inappropriate for me to say this here, but they prefer nerds who can give them weird gadgets to ethereal existence, you know who I'm talking about. ”

Colway frowned.

"Academy?"

"That's right."

After a pause, Adan said with a smile.

"All in all, it's safe, and the locals may not like your nose very much, but they don't want to cause trouble. Our trade routes have been running for some time, and the guards of the kingdom know where the arms are being delivered, but no one will look closely, and everyone will turn a blind eye. ”

Hearing this, Colway breathed a sigh of relief, and a relieved expression appeared on his face.

"Looks like I'm worried in vain...... Thank you for the information. ”

In the past two days, he didn't dare to show his nose even when he was drinking, but blocked it with a scarf.

But it makes him uncomfortable!

"You're welcome, you're our valued customers," Adan said in a pleasant voice, bowing slightly, "There are quite a few caravans here heading from the Free State of Bougerra to Oasis No. 9...... General Griffin was very generous, and thanks to that lord, we also made a lot of money. ”

Looking at Colway, who was talking happily with Adam, the Battlefield guy standing on the side was secretly surprised.

Boy.

Isn't the Bougra Free State a vassal of the Great Rift Valley?

The merchants there are actually trading with the Legion!?

What's even more outrageous is that the battle situation in Luoxia Province is also different from the information published on the official website.

There was no kingdom alliance at all, and from beginning to end, the kingdom of lions was supporting alone, and the kings declared war on the surface, but behind the scenes, they were all appeased.

The northernmost kingdom of the golden lizard is even more awesome.

These wise men turned a blind eye to the enemy's supply lines within their borders, acquiescing in the delivery of equipment from the northern part of the Valley Province to the front line of Oasis 9.

Do you think you won't be beaten up if you have your back against the academy?

This is too sassy!

"Your Excellency...... I was tired and wanted to go back to my room and lie down for a while. The Warfield whispered, a tired expression on his face.

He wasn't tired at all.

Now the important thing is to go offline quickly and go back to the official website to share this exciting news with everyone.

After the last update, the official website forum also has a taskbar, and this heavyweight intelligence is not only silver, but also a huge contribution point reward!

Hearing the pangolin's voice, Colway turned his head.

Not paying any attention to the rudeness of this subordinate to him, he nodded lightly and said in a gentle tone.

"Go ahead...... By the way, you don't have to go out to work tomorrow, I can't let my loyal subordinates do that kind of menial work. ”

The gentle eyes looked at the battlefield guy with goosebumps.

Not noticing the strangeness in his men's expressions, and having no doubt about his loyalty, Colway looked back at Adam.

"Can you lend me some money? I vouch for my honor, and I will pay you back twice as much when I get to the Legion's station. ”

"You're too polite, it's just something outside of your body, and this money should be used as a friend." As he spoke, Adan smiled and placed a bag of gold coins on the table.

There were 200 dinars in it.

Being able to recognize the signature on that order is worth the investment in him alone.

Grabbing a handful of gold coins from his bag and slapping them on the table, Colway looked at the boss behind the bar.

"Is that enough?"

Looking at the gold coins on the table, the boss's eyes were straight, and he didn't care how annoying the bulging nose bridge was, so he quickly nodded and said with a smile.

"Enough is enough...... In the case of dinars, 10 is enough! ”

Before, he was afraid that these people would repay the debt, so he touched the gun under the table.

For now, there is no need to worry about this problem at all, and a bag of gold coins is enough to stay with him until the end of next month.

Looking at the innkeeper who was carefully counting the money, the drunken decadence could no longer be seen on Corway's face, and the glory of the Legion seemed to return to him.

He lifted his chin, looked at the boss through his nostrils, and said lightly.

"Don't count, the rest of the money will open another room for my warriors, and I want the most spacious one in the store!"

"Also, get a bucket of hot water and clean towels, as well as a pound of cooked beef and the best beer to send to his room!"

"Remember, the best beer," Colway nodded with his index finger on the table, pointing to the half glass of beer, and squinting at the innkeeper, "If anyone dares to fool me with this swill-like garbage, the next time I pass by here, Lao Tzu will lead someone to demolish your home!" ”

"Okay, sir!" didn't care about the threat at all, the boss who had made money suddenly had a happy eye, and hurriedly took the gold coins on the table into his arms, went back to the back kitchen behind the bar, and beckoned the people to get ready to go.

Colway looked back at the pangolin and said in a gentle voice.

"Thank you for waking me up and reminding me that there is something more important in this world than life...... Go back and rest, take a hot bath and eat before you go to sleep. ”

"We're on our way tomorrow morning."

Looked at by those gentle eyes, the battlefield guy only felt goosebumps all over his body fall to the ground, and his scalp was tingling as if he had touched the electric door.

Damn it.

You'll need to lock the door tonight......
