Its name is Jinhe City, and it is seven or eight hundred kilometers away from Qingquan City, which is equivalent to the distance from Jiangcheng to Shancheng in reality.

On the outskirts of Kinkawa City, on a gentle slope at the edge of the forest, lies a small settlement called "Dust Town".

There are two or three hundred families living here, and the town is surrounded by a low wall one meter high, and inside the town is a granite turret.

This form of settlement is common in Geumcheon Province.

After all, unlike the Luoxia Province, there are deserts and river embankments that act as natural barriers to restrict the migration and predation of xenospecies.

On the contrary, because it is located in the subtropics, the climate is humid, warm and rainy, so a large number of xenospecies migrate here from other provinces.

Here, instead of being the most dangerous, mutant slime molds are the mutants who have migrated here from the East Coast and the radioactive waste scattered across the land.

About a month ago, when the Alliance's troops were in full swing with the Legion in Luoxia Province, this dusty town in a remote corner was still making a lot of money, and the mayor of the town made a lot of silver coins by trading with the Alliance. Then he used silver coins to buy a lot of LD-47s and Maxims from the front, replaced the original iron-barreled rifles and rusty short knives, and hired some vicious thugs as bodyguards, so that he could further squeeze the old peasants who were working in the fields, and also to keep the silver coins he had hoarded in the turret.

However, the good times were short-lived.

The mayor is a man of ideas, and so are the thugs who have been hired.

Seeing that there are mountains, rivers and fields here,

Doing business with the rich men who opened factories in the north can make money with their eyes closed, so this group of thugs with bad records suddenly hit it off, decisively returned to their old business, and slaughtered the mayor's family with the mayor's gun.

Dust changed hands for the first time.

Those thugs have been doing fairy days of bullying men and women for a while, and most of them are doing business

The merchants did not care about this, and it was not surprising that in a few years, when the people who could work were almost killed, one day an evil would be born in the guts, and this place would become a new camp of marauders.

Unfortunately, a talking lizard, a talking mouse, and a non-talking human misread the map, and they happened to be here.

Originally, they were just going to ask for directions to the beach, so they sent the only guy who was most like a human to inquire.

However, the thugs laughed out loud when they heard the new mindless speech, and remembered the silver coins in his pocket, so they moved to kill people and buy goods.

I want to kill people and sell more goods.

That has to be a predator.

And then what happened was logical.

More than 20 marauders are the opponents of this group of people, not to mention the new human beings, the garbage king and the strongman are the old players of the Ip version, one to ask for the enemy and one to output, and even the guns are useless, so the marauders in the whole town are swiped as popular monsters.

The townspeople

At first, I was really scared to death, but after discovering that the death claw could speak, I was not afraid.

After all, there are so many strange things going on in the wasteland

There is nothing surprising that the claws of death spit out such a trivial thing. And it is not surprising that a few dead can speak, and there is no surprise that a mouse can speak

The survivors of the town liked the two guys.

Compared to the tyrannical mayor and the robber who bullied them, the lizard who called himself a garbage guy and the rat who called it a strongman was just a little ugly, but not so terrible.

In order to thank these three good "people" who saw injustice and drew swords to help, the villagers built statues for them, and even built an ancestral hall dedicated to them.

At first, the three little players refused, but the feeling of being adored was so cool, they accepted it with a half-push, half-on-the-spot hehehe, hehe, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

Then, the lizard promised them that it would keep the villagers safe. The rat even said that there is no other rat with it

Dare to steal the grain from the barn.

The townspeople promised to give them 20% of the grain as an offering.......... This is much lighter than the seventy percent collected by the old mayor and the ninety percent collected by the thugs!

And the players, on the other hand, are flattered.

Twenty percent of the output of a small town with two or three hundred households, no matter how much garbage you can eat, you can't eat so much.

So the three "men" decided to sell the uneaten grain to the passing merchants, and then use some of the silver coins they earned to help these poor people buy some tractors and fertilizers from the alliance to increase the output of the farmland, and by the way, buy some tools for digging wells and repairing houses, so that they can have more offerings.

For ease of management, they let survive

They voted for a new mayor of the town,

Then find a few respectable people to take charge of the militia and ordnance, money and food.

This is the second time that Dusttown has changed hands

It's only been a month, but everything seems to be getting better.

Until a strange patient appears in the town.

His hands and feet were sore, and pus flowed from them.

The body is hot, the nose does not stop, and he looks terminally ill. However, the strange thing is that these symptoms did not make him lie in bed and wail weakly, but instead made him unusually strong and eat an astonishing amount of food.

Nothing so weird has ever happened in this area.

The town's survivors were terrified

So the healthy patient was locked up and immediately reported to the three gods who had sheltered them.

After interrogation, the man confessed that he had a small cold some time ago, and he had listened to the words of a hunter from another village, and he had eaten a green fruit that was said to cure all diseases, and his condition had improved.

However, the good times were short-lived.

After some time, there was no sign of healing from the small cold, and it even intensified. In order to suppress the torture of illness and not affect his daily work, he could only eat the green fruit constantly, and even secretly planted it in his own yard.

Eventually his body seemed to reach with the virus

It became a reconciliation in a sense, as long as he kept eating that green fruit, he would

can be free from the torment of the disease, and in infinity

Stronger in pleasure... Even if his body has become a breeding ground for viruses.

But if he stopped eating that fruit, his body's reconciliation with the virus would end, and his health would take a turn for the worse, gradually rotting away like a rotten piece of wood.

After learning what had happened, the three little players immediately paid attention to it, and it didn't take much effort to find the hunter in the patient's mouth, and quickly locked down the source of the green fruit.

It was a place called Hope Town

Dust Town.

An ancestral hall dedicated to the "gods".

"Anyway, you don't remember us

Originally, you were going to the south to see the sea? Sitting on a wooden chair, I wanted to be quiet, and suddenly sighed and said.

Level 99 yawned when picking up trash.

"I remember."

"When are we going to hit the road?

"Damn! You're not addicted to being a savior, are you? ”

Looking at the blind screaming, I wanted to be quiet, picked up garbage level 99 and rolled my eyes.

"Tsk, aren't you enjoying it yourself!"

I wanted to say quietly crying and laughing.

"I'm alone, I can't help it

, And besides, we haven't archived it for more than a month, is it really okay? ”

He used to be in the game every day

On the forum, he said that he wanted to explore the boundaries of the map, but when he really entered the game, he found that it was as difficult as the sky.

The first is the language issue.

At present, even if it is an old player of the lp version,There are only a few who can speak fluently"Human Language",V's translation function is too obvious in offline mode.,Some things don't understand when they are translated.,Some are even more simply not translated。

Until now, he will communicate those words on a daily basis.

I thought about it by relying on this half-baked human talk

Wandering the wasteland, that's simply looking down on the man-eating stuff in the wasteland.

However, the garbage gentleman was indifferent to his rhetoric.

Archive?

What the hell do you want to do with that.

Human stuff is weak!

"Hey, it's a ball if you don't save it, you'll know if you've been playing this game for a long time, and the level is actually only a very small part of all the elements of this game, just like the dragon, the wizard and the rainbow."

"Poof, what the hell is Rainbow Six's rainbow!"

Level 99 of picking up garbage said proudly: "What the hell is the sequence level of a meaning?" Is it important? Does the low level of the master affect the master's pretense? Is the NPC here not realistic enough? Or is it not enough to let you live again with another identity? ”

"Hey, I really envy you xenomorphs

Gamer. I wanted to say quietly with a look of envy.

If you're a xenomorph, you'll probably be able to walk freely in the wasteland.

After all, most xenos walk around when they see the claws of death, and ordinary survivors rarely provoke them when they see them

。

"Calm, this is like a serial QQ, that is the treatment only available to the European emperor." Looking at this cute new look of envy, the garbage gentleman smiled, but tears flowed in his heart.

He's strong.

And there is no doubt about it.

But it's a pity that no matter how strong he is, he has Ding Ding

There is also a group of spiritual wives, but he is in the claws of other deaths

There will only be a sneering slap in front of him.

Yes.

The other Deathclaws looked down on him as a "stunted" guy, and even the white bear could please the other earth bears because he was white.

Every time he thought of Niko's contemptuous eyes, he bared his teeth in anger, but he couldn't do anything.

Damn.........

This damn game setting!

It was for this reason that when the new mayor of Dust Town cautiously asked him if he would like to prepare a shrine maiden to serve the gods for the ancestral hall of the sacrifice, he almost did not hesitate to flatly refuse.

Joke.

The frame was fought by Lao Tzu, why is it cool

Next to this new grandfather!

The tail of this feudal era must be cut off

At this moment, Jing Jing didn't know what he was missing, and his attention was completely attracted by the rats that slipped in outside the door.

I saw a fat big mouse, beckoning a few mouse brothers, carrying a sack in and throwing it on the ground.

Quietly stepped forward, opened the opening of the sack and glanced inside, and was immediately smoked by the stench that came to his face.

"Holy!? What the hell is this?

It stinks! ”

"Emerald Fruit! The locals call this thing, it grows on a kind of tree, and it is said that eating it can cure all diseases," the strong man said with a slender arm wiped his sweat, shook his long beard, and said, "Go to the special one to cure it."

That's big

Diseases_... Get this thing back, and I'll kill several of my younger brothers. ”

It is in the nature of rats to cheat and trick, and the little mice who succumb to his force do not fully obey his commands, especially where they are out of his sight.

Stealing food is a common thing, not to mention stealing food, his "harem" is often suddenly pregnant for no reason.

In the end, it was not a pure mouse who listened to his orders the most, but a groundhog who had been with him for a long time.

Ever since he ordered a set from Mosquito

After the steel claw was attached to the grandson, it bit the traitors of the tribe for itself.

Holding back the stench, I want to be quiet again

I opened the sack and studied it

of the emerald fruit. He found that the stinky thing wasn't

The fruit itself, but a layer of dark green slime attached to the surface of the fruit, and the green-soaked soil.

The garbage gentleman also stared curiously at the contents of the sack for a while, and then looked at the fat mouse who was resting on the stool.

"Don't you have an iron stomach? You take a bite. ”

"Fuck off! old

Zi has an iron stomach, but it does not mean that Lao Tzu is highly poisonous! The strongman rolled his eyes, "You have a high physique, why don't you take a bite!" ”

The garbage gentleman smiled, scratching his head with thick claws.

"Just because I'm tall doesn't mean I like it

Eat, Ming people don't say dark words, I don't look like a good thing when I look at this thing! "Look at the green.

As a warrior of pure love, he felt a physical discomfort.

The strongman coughed lightly.

"Anyway...... The information was accurate, and as the patient confessed, Hope Town had come up with this thing. At first, only a few people planted this kind of fruit, but later the land where fruit trees were planted could only grow this thing, and the local landlords were greedy for this thing to sell it for money, so more and more people planted it. ”

I asked quietly curiously.

"Is this thing expensive?"

The strongman continued.

"It's definitely more expensive than grain, although it's harvested

There are not many traders, but according to the local survivors themselves, at first they did plant it to make money, but as they planted, they felt that it didn't matter whether they made money or not, and they were not afraid of disease if they ate it

Pain, no clothing, no cold, and you can see Elysium, where money is like dung in front of it. ”

Hearing this, Jingjing's expression gradually became serious.

"If you eat this thing, you lose everything, and there is no doubt that this thing is poisonous

"Nonsense, it's up to you." Patting the back of the sprout on the head, the garbage gentleman looked at the strongman and asked, "So this thing came out of that Hope Town?" ”

To his surprise, the strongman shook his head.

"No, they're from someone else, too

Tree species that I got in. It is said that the original fruit tree sapling, from a mutant tribe called 'Qi', is about the same distance from us

Twenty kilometers away from the abandoned old town. ”

I wanted to hear it quietly, and my eyes widened suddenly

Eye.

"Mutants?!"

The strongman smiled.

"Surprised, isn't it....... But you look at the officer

Observational descriptions of mutants on the Internet, actually

It's not hard to understand. ”

"Mutants are a special group

, in the first stage they will take the form of a tribe

They live in groups and 'hunt' for food

and multiplication. By the second stage, they will

Out of violence breeds a certain 'civility'

, the concrete manifestation of which is the birth of 'farming' and '

Captivity' concept, such as growing for food

The mutated fruit of things, a certain number of people are kept in captivity

Female-like and a small number of males, allowing domestic animals

Self-reproduction, then planned 'use'

The Lord wants us to offer our livers, down

A brand new set and slaughtered. I've heard that there is a third stage, but that's just speculation at the moment. ”

"The 'Blackstone' that other players found in the Great Desert before

'The tribe is probably between the first stage and the second stage, and this 'Qi' is probably the late stage of the second stage, and the system is ....... to the third stage."

Trash-kun touched his chin.

"What about the arguments?"

"Arguments? Isn't that obvious? I've heard that there are tens of thousands of mutants there, and even tens of thousands! It is impossible to maintain a race of 10,000 people by violence alone, they must have given birth to something 'else' like the Orc Gul'dan. As he spoke, the strongman's eyes flashed with excitement.

Perhaps he can learn from some of the society

Learn from experience and find a way to build a vast empire of rats.

I thought it was quiet, but my expression became serious

_This is not a trivial problem, the mutant tribe of tens of thousands of people is only twenty kilometers away from us, and yet we have been here for so long and have not heard any news. ”

Junjun also nodded and said seriously. "Well, this group of mutants has no interest in plundering the surrounding villages, it's so perverse

Whether anyone cares or not, they have to sync this noteworthy news to the official website.

Whether it's a story about "odd".

Or about the weird "Emerald Fruit"

While the "pioneers" of the south were struggling with what to do with the patients in the village and how to send samples of the "Emerald Fruit" back to the Alliance for testing, preparations for the triumphal celebration had entered the final countdown.

The streets are lit up with lights, the streets are bustling with pedestrians, the holiday season began yesterday, and the shops on the streets have started to do discount promotions, and the stalls in the market have more than doubled compared to the previous days.

It is not only the residents of Dawning City who set up stalls here, but also merchants from Dawn City, Fallen Leaf City, Nai Garbage City, Red River Alliance, and other survivor settlements.

The dazzling array of goods and the business opportunities everywhere have not only made Dawning City one

No. 524 in the city of Xiaoquan. "The eyes of all nations" is the city of vision

A living expo center, but also let the silver coins

It has become the eyes of countless merchants who have passed here

Sweet and sweet. Only those who come and want to come again

Will keep silver coins in his pocket as currency, looking at the warehouses and shelves stuffed with supplies, people

There is no doubt that the purchasing power of silver coins will remain as strong as ever in the future.

Especially as the inhabitants of the Vault returned from the front, not only did those people bring

The treasures of Luoxia Province are also counted

The excitement that I had taken away from here a month ago was also brought back with me.

Since the large army left for Luoxia Province, Dawning City has not been as lively as it is today for too long.

Such a grand occasion can be described as "the coming of all nations"!

"It's so lively here!"

Watch the people around her, Ellie

Sha was as excited as a bird out of the cage,

The pale face that has not seen the sun for a long time

Moments are red with excitement.

Looking at the elated daughter, Mel

Neither is the text

Ban smiled relaxedly.

"So you have to hold on to Daddy's hand."

"Hmm!"

Alyssa nodded vigorously and squeezed

Tightened his father's hand.

It was her first time in Dawn.

Although it is only two days away from their home

More than ten kilometers, but there are less than ten kilometers of this

It's hard to walk.

For these ten kilometers, his paternal system

There are fifty fewer bodyguards, and the uncle who doesn't speak seems to be a bionic produced by the Boulder Military Industry.

From the moment she walked into the settlement, she had been looking around curiously.

Everything here is full of novelty for her.

The men and women who were picked and selected on the street and the smiling salesmen were not much older than her, mostly seventeen or eighteen years old, and few old faces were seen

Passing by a stall, she couldn't help but stop and her eyes rested on a beautiful hair.

To be precise, don't show on that head

Hairpins in the shape of fish bones.

The little fish bones looked like they had been eaten by a cat

Gnawed a notch, very flattering.

And in the shops in Boulder City, she never saw her

Over such a cute accessory.

The older sister with the hairpin is also beautiful.

Her complexion is slightly darker, like wheat sun-dried in autumn, and has a wild charm

, but the smile on his face was soft

And, in stark contrast to her complexion.

Noticing Alyssa's gaze, Akikusa immediately realized that she was looking over her head

, so he smiled slightly and looked at the little customer and said.

"Do you like it?"

Alyssa nodded.

"Well, like..."

Autumn grass blinked and looked at the lovely girl in front of her.

"Because the guests are cute, it only costs 1 silver coin."

So cheap!

And.........

This sister speaks strangely nicely.

Alyssa's cheeks flushed, and she felt a little sorry for her sister if she didn't pay, so she looked at her father pleadingly and tugged at his sleeve.

Seeing that his daughter liked it so much, Malvin, who originally thought that the hairpin was a little cheap, didn't say anything, and waved his hand at his bodyguard with a smile.

The latter nodded silently, took a silver coin from his bosom and placed it on the stall, completing the transaction.

Malvern looked at his happy daughter and admonished.

Please the 524th Emperor of Quanshi City "All Nations Come to Ming" of the warm light city

"Don't wear it in front of your mother."

"Hmm!"

Alyssa nodded obediently.

Malvin smiled and rubbed her hair, picked up the hairpin in her hand, and personally pinned it to the side of her hair.

The delicate little fish bones and blonde hair are strangely cute.

Of course, he knew very well that it wasn't

It's because of how cute the hairpin is, how skilled the hillbillies in the northern suburbs are, but her daughter has noble blood flowing in it.

The destination of their trip was Embassy Street, the most palatial part of Dawning City, and he had already booked a VIP suite in advance at the ideal hotel on that street.

It's the most famous wine in the neighborhood

The store, invested and built by Ideal Group, only supports Cr payment, mainly for residents visiting Ideal City, but others can also book if they can afford Cr.

The 20-storey hotel stands out from the crowd in the city of Dawn, with all the furniture and cement used to repair the walls brought from the city, and 100 bionic maids produced by the Kangmao Group.

Whether it's to live or talk about things, it's the first choice there.

The Alliance's cameras were roaming around the sky, but they wouldn't drill into the hotels of Ideal City, and he knew it.

On the way to the hotel, Alyssa looked around curiously, and a sentence suddenly popped out of her mouth. "Why do they all seem happy?"

Malvern said with a smile.

"Because it's about to be celebrated."

"What about us?" Alyssa tilted her head to watch

Father, "Why don't we have a celebration too?" There will be a lot of interesting things coming up.

"We?" Malvin was stunned for a moment, then regained the smile on his face, looked at his daughter and said gently, "We don't need that kind of thing, there will be a lot of interesting things, remember the store I took you to?" ”

"Is it from the inner city?"

"That's right, the good things in the whole settlement are there, and we can even buy biomimetic prosthetics imported from Ideal City, so there's no need to go to the market and grab them from those people."

Noticing that her daughter's expression was slightly a little

Regretfully, Malvern lovingly touched her head.

"My child, how can you envy those people... It's just a hairpin, if you like it, I can ask someone to make it for you, and it's a unique style. You should know that your life is much better than theirs. ”

Alyssa said sullenly.

"But in Boulder City, people always keep their heads down when they look at us."

Malvin sighed and said patiently.

"That's because they respect us."

Alyssa looked at her father in bewilderment.

"But... You can't even see their eyes, how can you know if they have respect or hatred in their eyes. ”

Hatred?

Malvern frowned.

"Who taught you these things."

He was really angry this time.

He had been very careful to maintain the wonderful world in her daughter's heart, and he did not expect himself to live in that wonderful world, but he hoped that his beloved little daughter would never touch his usual things for the rest of her life.

But there was always something nasty that got into his house, again and again

Blow open the curtains that he hung up.

Hatred?

How could that word appear in his daughter's dictionary!

Seeing her father's displeased look, Alyssa closed her mouth, a touch of fear appeared on her face, she didn't dare to say anything, and she didn't answer.

Realizing that his expression frightened his daughter, Malvin quickly changed into a warm smile and touched her beautiful hair dotingly

"My baby daughter I'm sorry, I didn't mean to aggravate the tone, please forgive Dad for occasionally bringing negative emotions at work home, and please believe in Dad, Dad will never hurt you."

After a pause, he said patiently.

"Your shoes, your skirt, and your beautiful rag doll didn't come out of nowhere, the world has been ruined for a long time. Those lowly fellows have worked hard to give all the good things to you, not because they love you as much as Daddy, but because your Daddy, Uncle Duron, and those who support me

Our shareholders, all of us work together. You don't need to sympathize with the losers who have a gloomy life, if you really know them, you will know that those people don't deserve sympathy at all... From tomorrow, you don't have to look at it. ”

Maybe you should say hello to Duron when you get back.

He supports newspapers, radio, and other pastimes, such as Mr. House's channel, which teases the ugly wastelanders and teaches the surrounding survivor colonies to grow cash crops... But only if it's entertainment.

But looking at it now, it's clearly not that kind of thing.

Although the sub-magazines are all provocative and fantasizing, those innocuous and amusing jokes always make him feel offended after laughing is himself. Are the nobles of the inner city so anxious?

What beauties have they never seen? How can you lose your temper because you can't tear the stockings made of devil's silk!

What's even more odious is why those serialized ones are all poor and two

The white grassroots rise, and those are spoiled by beer

Doesn't the guy with the brain know that this is not at all

Is it logical? No matter how awesome the mercenaries are, they will break the sky

It's also a dog's leg, even if it's the awakened

How can you touch a fist with power armor?

Thinking of the workers each holding a newspaper of the same style, Malvern suddenly felt a faint chill in his heart.

Maybe his daughter was right.

How did he know that those people were hiding in the 524th "Warm Light City of All Nations" in Xiaoquan City

Whether there is love or hate in the eyes, people are much more complicated than mutants.

But this matter can be relieved.

The most urgent thing he has to deal with is the chips

circulation problems.

They've already earned too much "local currency", and that's not okay!

The essence of trade is reciprocity, but now it seems that only the alliance has drunk beer, and they have a belly full of foam.

There must be a stable channel.

Swap the excess chips for silver coins, or better yet, skip the junk silver coins straight

Convert to Cr!

If this problem can be solved, the nobles of the entire inner city will thank him, even if it is not his core customer!

No matter how good life is in the inner city, it can't be more comfortable than the ideal city.

If they can exchange a large amount of chips for Cr, they can use the Cr exchanged for chips to go to Ideal City to live a fairy life that they couldn't even imagine before. The factories of Boulder City are running endlessly, and the excess chips are pouring into a pool that never runs out.

Thankfully, the Alliance did what he wanted to do most in his life and didn't have the opportunity to do

- Solve the problem of Cr exchange.

It's not a consignment-style exchange like the exchange.

The soup and water spilled by the merchants when they shook the bottles and cans were not enough for them to divide up, and he had to carefully control the money for his son's tuition.

But corporations are too generous to the alliance.

I heard that the profiteers on the east coast wanted to support it

Alliance, gave the Union a preferential exchange rate of 1:3! 3 Silver Coins can be exchanged for 1 Cr!

It's unclear what the upper limit of the exchange is, but even if it's only one hundred million, it's enough for the nobles in the inner city to dance.
