Next to the wheat fence, Avne looked at the pod connected to the steel airship and the figure standing next to the pod from a distance, and a soft smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

Legend has it that in the distant province of the River Valley, there was a great hero who, with a group of survivors as brave as himself, defeated jackal beasts several times their size.

To be honest, in reality, he is not as tall and powerful as in the painting, and he does not have a thick beard on his face, but he feels far more reliable than the gorilla in the painting. In particular, the handsome and resolute face often has a warm smile, and even in the early winter of November, it will make people feel like a spring breeze.

Like now......

At first, she didn't really understand what kind of feelings it was, but it wasn't until this moment that she suddenly realized that-

She longed for neither his bravery nor the wisdom she admired, not even for her saved kingdom...... It's just that smile that makes people's hearts warm.

Even in the devastated and devastated wasteland, you can still see the prosperity reflected in the dark eyes.

As strange as it sounded, she suddenly felt a little envious of the doll sitting on his shoulder...... It can see landscapes that it can't see.

It must be beautiful there......

Thinking like this, Aphni, who had just planned to take a look from afar, unconsciously walked over there, stopped not far from him, and saluted slightly.

"Dear ...... Mr. Administrator, congratulations on your victorious return from the front. During my time in Dawning City, I heard people's praise and expectations for you every day. ”

Hearing the congratulations from the side, Chu Guang ignored Xiao Qi's protests, took it off his shoulder and stuffed it into his pocket, and looked at the girl from a foreign country with a smile.

"Thank you for your congratulations, Miss Avne, and before Summer's goodbye to me about going back to his father's funeral, I thought you were going back with your brother."

She wore a long light green dress with a swaying hem like green grass that hid her ankles. Beneath the slightly curly long brown hair was a slightly immature face, which was now gilded with a faint layer of gold by the morning light.

Staring at him intently, Avne blinked.

"My brother went back first, he asked me to stay here to represent the Honey Badger royal family in the League's triumphal celebrations, and he asked me to say goodbye to you on his behalf, and to thank you again for taking care of you during this time...... The Honey Badger Kingdom will always be a friend of the Alliance, and he personally regards you as his teacher. ”

Chu Guang smiled and shook his head.

"This guy...... I don't even know when I became his teacher. ”

Summer went back in such a hurry, most likely because he was worried about the throne, after all, he was only acting king, and Yard held the military power in his hands.

As for the sentence that regards him as his teacher, eighty percent of them are said to himself, hoping to get his own support.

However, he did not intend to interfere in the internal affairs of the Honey Badger Kingdom, and both Summerer and Yard left a good impression on him.

The Alliance only acts as the Alliance itself, abides by seeking common ground while reserving differences, and will not force other survivor settlements above the orderly neutrality to follow the same route as itself. Just as the major you choose is the most suitable for you, you should decide your own future.

Which way to go is not the main contradiction in the wasteland, chaos is. Until all mutants and marauders die, even the Legion can be counted as lawful evil.

As long as the situation in the Honey Badger Kingdom does not deteriorate to the point of civil war, he will not meddle in the affairs of the locals themselves, and at most will only ask the local rulers to make gradual improvements according to the opinions of the alliance.

Vonne looked at him with a sparkling gaze.

"Really? But I think you still influenced him a lot...... I have often seen him copy your words and ponder them. In the past, he used to say that the future of the kingdom lies in uniting the wavering nobles, and that most of the military expenses of the Restoration Army are supported by those nobles, but now he occasionally mentions that if the kingdom wants to develop, it must unite the unknown majority, who have no money, but have something more useful than money. ”

Chu Guang said casually.

"It means that he has grown, maybe inspired by us, but I am more inclined to think that it is his own realization."

He doesn't teach anyone like that.

In the Union, people are people.

Avnee sighed softly.

"Perhaps, but I still think that his growth is inseparable from your help. If I could, I would love to grow like him. I can...... Something for you? Anything other than sorting out books, like Princess Teresa. ”

Almost by God, Avne couldn't help but say the second half of the sentence, and even she herself was a little surprised that she would say that.

But she didn't take it back.

A voice in her head told her that perhaps this was what she was thinking deep down......

Chu Guang glanced at the little girl strangely, paused for a moment and said.

"You don't need to help me do anything, you have learned that knowledge, just go back and help your country."

"Why? Because I'm a princess of the Honey Badger Kingdom? I can give up my identity like Teresa and become a normal Union resident—"

Chu Guang looked at her seriously and said.

"You have to be clear about one thing, Teresa did not become the lord of Pioneer City because she gave up her status as a princess, but because her ability proved that she was up to the job."

Pioneer City is said to be the fourth city of the Alliance, but the number of survivors there is not as good as Bette Street in Dawning City, and the conditions are far more difficult than in the River Valley Province. Being a lord there, too, is not a good job, and the staff at the Dawning City Trading Post are much more comfortable than the lords there.

In the Alliance, the lord is just a position with a salary, it doesn't mean rank in any sense. If Bate Street had acquired some kind of strategic position and needed to be developed as a settlement in its own right, its village chief could also be called the lord of the city.

"I'm sorry, but I was abrupt. I didn't look down on her abilities, I just felt that since she could, she could ...... What can I do for you too. ”

There was a hint of jealousy on Avne's face, although she didn't realize that she was jealous, after all, she had no reason to do so.

Chu Guang could understand her eagerness to display her talents, but he couldn't immediately assign her important work just because she had read a lot of books.

Theories are important.

But practice is more important.

The lesson of Vault 401 is the best example of this, those blue coats with the same abundance of economy, only to be chained by a group of barbarians carrying iron rods.

It's not that the theory of the Age of Prosperity isn't advanced enough, it's that the kind of thing is so advanced that there's simply no suitable soil for it to survive in the wasteland.

But it's always good to be willing to do something.

Just when Chu Guang was thinking about what to say, someone suddenly shouted his name not far away.

"Chu Guang!"

Hearing the voice, the two of them looked over there in unison.

Seeing the fiery red hair, a trace of confusion appeared on Avne's face, and Chu Guang showed a surprised expression.

"Summer salt? You're back? ”

Xia Yan curled the corners of his mouth and said with a hint of pride.

"I've completed this year's credits, and my tutor praised me for being very talented in the field of mechanics, that is, if only I could be better at mathematics."

With the approval of Vault 101, it seems that she has indeed learned something.

Chu Guang asked with a smile.

"What about the little fish? Didn't come back with you. ”

"She stayed with Pai and didn't know what she was up to, and said she would be back tomorrow, and she said ...... Who is she? Xia Yan suddenly looked at Avni who was standing aside.

That face looks harmless and cute, but it is precisely because of this that she always has a bad feeling

"She's a honey badger—"

"I'm a student of Mr. Manager," Avni bowed slightly, looked at Xia Yan with bright eyes, and said in a nice voice, "You are Ms. Xia, I heard Chu Guang talk about you before." ”

Xia Yan looked at Chu Guang in surprise and looked at him suspiciously.

"Why are you still a teacher?"

"This is a misunderstanding," Chu Guang coughed lightly, "I just borrowed some books from her—"

"I learned a lot from those books, and I was impressed by your words and deeds," Avney bowed slightly, "and for me, you are my mentor." ”

Hearing this, Xia Yan was instantly stunned.

"Words, what do you teach?"

"That's what it means to teach carefully," Avne's eyes flickered slightly, and she looked at Xia Yan with those innocent eyes, and suddenly made a sudden appearance, "...... Ah, please don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that. ”

How can this expression not be misunderstood!

Staring at this little girl with a knife hidden in her smile, Xia Yan suddenly felt that her blood pressure was about to rise.

Looking at the two of them who suddenly became more energetic, Chu Guang coughed.

"I'm just saying what I should say in my position, and I don't have to feel unnecessarily good for what I said. Okay, don't always focus on me...... Don't you have your own business? ”

Speaking of which, the time for the physical examination with Heyayo is approaching.

Chu Guang ended the topic with a headache on his face and walked towards the truck that had been waiting for him for a long time.

Speaking of which, the direct flight between Ideal City and Dawning City has been opened recently, do you also have to improve the means of transportation?

It is somewhat unsuitable to always ride in this truck, and some private transport companies have uneven means of transportation.

Another day, let the city hall bid for a few buses......

"Wait, wait!" Seeing that Chu Guang was about to leave, Xia Yan hurriedly looked away from Avonne and stopped him.

"What else?"

Xia Yan's eyes rolled, he didn't speak, and secretly handed out a palm-sized box.

"Here you go."

Staring at the unsightly box, Chu Guang asked curiously.

"What is this?"

"Leave it alone, my school year assignments...... You see. ”

Reaching out to take the box, Chu Guang opened it, two pairs of flexible wings gently popped out, and a silver-white metal ball lay on the cotton lining.

A touch of surprise suddenly appeared on Chu Guang's face.

Hummingbird drone?!

No......

This one is obviously bigger.

Xiao Qi, who was stuffed in his pocket, muttered a comment.

"So-so...... I reluctantly accepted it. ”

Ignoring the self-inflicted little guy, Chu Guang took the drone in his hand and looked at it excitedly.

"Not bad! That's great! ”

It can't be compared with the "hummingbird" he opened the blind box, but as a DIY product from parts from the wasteland, it is already quite good!

I didn't expect that the NPC who came back to rub the bullet casing had such great potential, and Chu Guang also sighed in his heart.

Slightly larger than hummingbirds.

Let's call it—

"Sparrow" is good!

Seeing Chu Guang so happy, Xia Yan couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth happily, but soon realized that his expression was too proud, so he coughed lightly.

"Ahem, not bad, right? It's a pity that I'm in a hurry, or I can get something more powerful. ”

Chu Guang smiled and stuffed the drone into his pocket hanging on the power armor, handed it to Xiao Qi to fiddle with, and said approvingly.

"Yes, yes, thank you if you could give me the whole power armor."

Xia Yan said with a numb scalp.

"Uh, that...... I'm working hard. ”

Avne, thoughtfully resting her index finger on her chin, suddenly lowered her head in shame.

"A gift...... Sorry I was negligent, please give me a few days to prepare, and I will dedicate it to you before the celebration. ”

Looking at Avni, who was overly serious, Chu Guang coughed lightly.

"There's no need to be so formal."

It doesn't matter if you have a gift or not.

He has gotten what he wants from this war.

Avnee shook her head and said seriously.

"How so? You saved us from a group of bandits, and I thank you for all the reason...... Please accept a little bit of our kindness. ”

Looking at the stubborn Avne, Chu Guang finally gave up the idea of convincing her.

When he came back, he had a mountain of things to deal with, and he really didn't have the energy to worry about such trivial matters.

Not to mention, Heya had already booked a medical examination for him just before he got off the airship.

In fact, even if Hea didn't say it, he would ask her to check it for him.

He dreamed again last night.

Not surprisingly, he is one step closer to not being a human being......

……

Just as Chu Guang was returning to Vault 404, outside the guardrail of the civil airport in the north of Shuguang City, it was blocked by a group of people who were pressed by the black.

Some of them are wastelanders watching the excitement, and some of them are players who come to join in the fun.

Today is the day of the first flight from Ideal City to Dawning City, and it is said that a large plane will fly from the east.

This has been uploaded on the official website for several days.

And the performance of the company did not disappoint the crowd of melon-eating people, the large plane that landed vertically from the air was like a real whale, and after retracting the plume behind the engine vent, it stopped steadily on the wide tarmac like a football field.

Looking at the behemoth, the Killing God said with emotion.

"This plane is awesome enough......"

If only I could make one whole in reality!

Persuading the Rack nodded approvingly.

"Indeed...... It's just not scientific. ”

In reality, he works in a major drone factory.

Putting aside the unscientific plasma thruster, he couldn't tell what the material used in the plane was.

How strong does it take for a structure to support this whimsical design?

He couldn't imagine it at all!

"It's all a game, what else do you need science, it doesn't seem like reading a book is stupid! A little imaginative, okay? The mosquito patted the guy on the head, "Let's go." ”

The persuasion who touched his head looked confused.

"Where are you going?"

The mosquito said with a fluttering eyebrow.

"Build our big plane! Didn't you get the wreckage of a killer whale transport plane back last time, let's think about it, and try the whole thing that sprays plasma plumes! ”

He couldn't figure out how it worked, but it didn't matter, the engineers at Camp 101 could understand it.

He only needs to design the big picture and figure out how to put this thing on the plane!

The Killing God and the Persuasion Frame glanced at each other, exchanging the confusion in their eyes.

An entire plasma-engined aircraft?

This guy is crazy......

Just when the "apprentices" of Brother Mosquito were wondering if their boss had broken their brains, the passengers were getting off the plane through the open hatch one after another.

At this moment, a petite figure stood in the corner of the crowd, looking at the direction of the hatch on tiptoe, with a face sometimes expectant and sometimes apprehensive.

Didn't get a ticket?

She didn't see that face until the end, and a hint of loss was written on Dolly's face, and just as she was about to turn around and quietly leave, a hand suddenly rested on her shoulder.

Completely unaware of the approach, she felt a creep of her left arm, almost reflexively raising her left arm, and a strong wind blew backwards from her steel-forged elbow.

"Wait, it's me!" The angular steel hung an inch away from the bridge of his nose, and Fang Chang broke out in a nervous cold sweat.

It's dangerous!

He hasn't archived it for half a year, and it would be a loss if he took a hit.

He had almost forgotten that this was a wasteland.

Even if Dolly is just an ordinary girl, her combat power is far from being comparable to that of a girl in reality.

"Fang Chang?!"

The moment he saw his sweetheart, the fierce eyes full of murderous intent softened into excitement and joy in an instant.

She pounced on him and hugged him tightly.

In response to the enthusiastic embrace, Fang Chang made a joke in a very soft voice.

"I saw you in the sky, and I wanted to come down to surprise you, but I didn't expect to be almost carried away by you."

Just now he spared a little bit of a long way and circled the side of the plane.

"Who wants you...... Sneak up on me. ”

With a flushed face and averting her gaze, Dolly whispered sweetly and shyly in her heart.

"I ...... Is it that conspicuous? ”

The short emerald green hair is still quite conspicuous in the crowd.

But......

At this point, there is no need to explain in such detail.

Gently touching her head, Fang Chang said with a warm smile.

"Of course, I saw it at a glance."

The Adam's apple moved, and he continued.

"Sorry, this business trip is a bit long...... Keeping you waiting. ”

Yin Hong climbed all the way from his cheeks to his ears, and the lovely man in his arms buried his head in shame and hid his face in his chest.

Fang Chang noticed the khaki scarf she was clutching in her hand.

"Is this a gift for me?"

Dolly blushed and hid it behind her back and whispered.

"I knit it myself...... Is it okay? ”

Fang Changguan said.

"It's okay, it's great, but it's ...... It seemed to be a scarf last time, but unfortunately I only had one neck. ”

"It's different," Dolly bent the corners of her mouth happily after sneaking a glance at the scarf around her neck, then shook her head vigorously and said solemnly, "Last time it was windproof and sandproof, and winter is coming...... This time it's warm. ”

Looking at Dolly who was seriously explaining, Fang Chang's heart couldn't help but warm.

"Speaking of which, I have a gift for you too."

"What gift?" An interested expression immediately appeared on Dolly's face, and she glanced left and right, but saw nothing.

Fang Chang said with a mysterious smile.

"Follow me."

At the same time, the exit of the airport.

Kimo craned his neck and looked around, muttering quietly.

"What about people?"

I was next to him just now.

It's rare to meet a confidant who understands him better than his father, and he planned to invite the man to dinner and talk more, but as soon as the plane arrived, the man didn't know where he went.

It's weird!

Next to him, a group of tourists were looking around curiously. Everything here is full of novelties for them, even the air smells different.

"Incredible...... I've seen virtual models on endpoint clouds, but when I'm actually standing here, it feels completely different. ”

"Is that ruin in the distance the legendary Qingquan City?"

"It is estimated that it is the same as going public on the cloud and offline on the cloud...... However, the area of the cities in the central metropolitan agglomeration should be larger. ”

"No wonder the brood here is so big!"

"Ahhh......h I'd love to meet their managers, and I'd be happy if I could take a group photo! ”

"There will be a chance! Celebration he will definitely appear. ”

Looking at the rich lady who had been a nymphomaniac before getting off the plane, Kishu pursed his lips disdainfully.

"Cut...... There's something so strange about that guy. ”

It's just a power armor, it's still a pre-war police model, and it's more handsome power armor than this, and there are so many in Boulder City that I don't know where it is!

And as the leader of the survivors' settlement, he shows his head every day like nothing, and there is no majesty or force at all.

In comparison, their city lord is much more forced, and even the prince who is dominating in Megalith City like himself has only seen that adult on the screen.

At this time, Ji Xiu suddenly thought of his plan, and he couldn't help but feel a surging excitement in his heart.

If all goes well, he may be able to become a more powerful figure than his father.

At that time, perhaps the lord of the castle will receive him personally.

……

Vault 404.

Chu Guang, who sat up from the scanning table, saw the results of his physical examination from the holographic screen.

Talents: 1. Wild Instinct: In the limit state, it can awaken the wild instinct, increase all attributes by 10~15% during the duration, and increase the accumulation rate of fatigue value by 20~30%.

2. Mental deterrence: It can produce the effect of psychological coercion on completely mental life forms that are weaker than themselves, and weaken their will to resist.

3. Swarm thinking: For the complete mental life form that is weaker than itself, it can share 3~15% of the intelligence attributes, so that it can get inspiration and thinking speed bonus. The effect is affected by a variety of factors such as distance, number of people, acceptance, etc., and the maximum distance is 10m.

4. Call to Victory: Inject courage into the voice of the cry and make those who resonate with it have the determination to be invincible.

】

After reading the attribute panel, Chu Guang was silent for a long time, and looked up at Heya who was sitting in a chair.

"Got no new talents to unlock?"

"Don't ask me, the talent column is the data stored in the Vault's database, and some algorithm left on the server seems to be doing a specific analysis of the genetic sequence of the entire Vault dwellers...... I can only guarantee that the attribute column is accurate, and if you want to see more detailed physiological parameters, you can click on the details in the bottom right corner. ”

When she said this, Heya looked at Chu Guang with a calm face, and couldn't help but complain.

"Anyway, the focus of your attention is actually on that talent column...... Don't you notice that you're looking more and more like a monster? ”

Four Awakenings......

The fifth stage of the gene sequence!

She wasn't sure if she had seen too little, or if it was all humans in the wasteland.

Chu Guang shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.

"Maybe I'm used to it...... Anyway, I'm just lying down and doing nothing, and the progress of gene sequence development will automatically go up. ”

In fact, he can understand it now.

In reality, there is a system called reCAPTCHA that allows computers to ask humans for help.

The specific method is to send the scanned text images that OCR cannot recognize to the world's major websites to replace the original verification code, and when the user does recognize the text, the answer will be sent back to the CMU, which is said to have an accuracy rate of 99%.

The genetic sequences stored in the Vault are like subcontracted tasks to the player, and each player's game behavior is actually "solving", and the final results of the project are summarized and embodied in a certain way, and recorded and analyzed by the Vault.

Therefore, his "evolutionary" direction is the most balanced.

Perhaps this is the optimal solution that Vault 404 has come up with with reference to numerous "control variable experiments".

Chu Guang didn't know the principle, he could only roughly guess that this kind of achievement that was gathered on him might not be able to be replicated through simple clone culture.

Therefore he cannot be "resurrected".

As for the purpose of this experiment, it may involve the biggest secret of Vault 404.

Chu Guang didn't know why.

He's not the kind of person who would trust someone for no reason, especially someone they've never met.

However, he subconsciously believes two things.

One is that the original managers are dead.

The other is that that person will never harm himself......

"This is the most outrageous part, the 'awakening' has become a cancer cell in your body, or you should leave yourself a descendant as soon as possible," Heya, who was leaning back in the chair, sighed and crossed her arms in a different position, "By the way, I will tell you something about this opportunity." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Remember, that little feather."

Looking at the sharp eyes, Chu Guang was slightly stunned and frowned.

"Remember...... What's wrong with it? ”

Hea said as she stared at him with blazing eyes.

"It's about to evolve!"
