According to the general idea of games, it is natural to pile the most expensive equipment on your body, but "Wasteland Online" is a different matter entirely.

Whether it is equipment, level, or the player's own experience, it is only one of the factors that determine the outcome of the battle, but not the whole story.

Overly realistic collision volumes and physics can often make combat unpredictable.

It's like throwing dice.

Experienced fighters have a higher probability of rolling a higher score, but a small mistake or a split second hesitation can make the dice roll again.

If he could read the file, Ye Wei swore that he would never spend a million silver coins to buy an iron coffin as an injustice.

Although the OD-10 "Dragoon" is the equipment of the orbital airborne division, the lightweight is only relative to the T-10 "Champion", and the application scenario is to be airdropped into the city to cooperate with armored units and lighter infantry to complete street combat tasks, so the armor still has a certain width.

If you really want to repeatedly jump sideways and parkour between high-rise buildings, you have to get a "special combat model" that is more mobile and lightweight.

It would be nice if you could add optical camouflage and chemical thrusters.

"Ahem——!"

In a dark tunnel.

Suddenly awakened from his coma, Ye Shi, who was lying on the roof of the elevator car, had a convulsion like a corpse, coughed and sat up from the sunken iron shell.

"Damn, it's up to you!"

The tactical eyepiece flashed a yellow exclamation mark, but fortunately the power components and mechanics were not damaged.

After moving his lower limbs and confirming that the motors of the various joints of the armor were functioning normally, Ye Shi breathed a sigh of relief and got up from the ground numbly.

If it weren't for the power armor's cushioning lining, which unloaded some of the impact, that moment alone would have sent him away.

Thinking of this, Ye Shi couldn't help but sweat in his heart.

The old antiques of two centuries ago have been repaired and repaired to the present, and they can still be used after falling from fifty or sixty meters.

The technology of the Prosperous Era is really awesome.

But that long string of yellow exclamation points......

This time I went back to 80% of the time I had to overhaul.

Consciousness had fully recovered, and the signs of crisis had crept into his mind.

Knowing that this place was not suitable for a long time, Night Ten quickly jumped off the roof of the scrapped elevator car and moved it away with the brute force of the power armor.

Tearing down the elevator door and entering the hallway, Night Ten caught a glimpse of the B4 figure on the wall.

Boy.

This pit is deep enough!

Quickly finding a map of the floor on the wall, he reached out to wipe the dust off it, and quickly confirmed the location of himself and the safe passage.

“…… Turn left around the corner of the hallway. ”

To be on the safe side, he took a picture, but just as he was about to leave, a faint sound suddenly reached his ears.

"Hah-"

The sound was like the gasp of a beast.

It was abrupt and strange in the dark corridor, and the hairs on his body couldn't help but stand up.

This was followed by the creaking of boots on the dust, coming from the other end of the hallway, and getting closer......

"...... Said to be a happy game, for the master to play a horror game. ”

Cursing, he hung the Gauss rifle with an excessively long barrel behind him and took out the LD-50 carbine, which hung from his waist.

The other side already knew that he was here, and there was no point in concealing it, so he opened the safety and loaded the rifle cleanly.

As he expected, the other party's footsteps did not hesitate at all, as if he decided that he had nowhere else to escape, and walked towards this side step by step as if he was playing prey.

Staring at the end of the corridor with a locked gaze, Night Ten's pupils couldn't help but shrink when he saw the figure walking around the corner.

It was a green-skinned giant, with a heavy steel helmet on his head, almost reaching the ceiling of the hallway, and his broad shoulders taking up half of the hallway.

His knotted muscles were like mountains of granite blocks, and his clenched right fist carried a half-man-high chainsaw. And what makes people even more chilling is that the left half of his body, from the waist to the head, has been completely replaced by a metal structure, and his left arm is inlaid with a huge caliber barrel!

it!?

Prosthetic mutants?!

What a lack of virtue to operate on this thing!

"Oulu."

The dull roar was like a war cry.

It's also like its name.

This guy seems to be going to go head-to-head with himself.

Swallowing his saliva, Yeshi clenched the weapon in his hand, turned on the speaker, and also reported his home in his native language.

"Daddy!"

"Daddy......"

Looking through the pitch-black tactical eyepiece, Oulu read the panic of the human in front of him at the moment, and the corners of his mouth twisted into a cruel smile.

These ugly human things had been harassing them for a while, and he swore he would chop this guy up in the most brutal way possible.

Oulu, who didn't pay attention to the small water pipe at all, shook the chainsaw in his hand and made a provocative gesture.

“…… Good guys, don't you panic when you see power armor? ”

Reading the provocation in his eyes, Yeshi raised his eyebrows and decisively pulled the trigger with his index finger.

"Sudden ——!"

The sound of gunfire echoed through the hallway, and the muzzle of the LD-50's gun erupted with a surging tongue of fire, and bullets rained down on the side of the hallway.

The prosthetic mutant didn't panic.

I saw it slam its heavy chainsaw directly to the ground, and the two-palm-wide saw blade was like a shield, and the rain of bullets blew strings of jumping sparks on it.

It's too weak!

Oulu, who was standing sideways, looked at the human at the end of the corridor with cold eyes, and the corners of his mouth grinned a cruel arc.

However, at this moment, a mutation protruded.

I saw that the human suddenly put down the carbine with the empty magazine, instantly grabbed the Gauss rifle behind his back, and put it in his hand.

Oulu looked stunned.

From the pitch-black muzzle of the gun, he could faintly see the arc of leaping electricity.

Charging has been completed -

But when?!

"Death to Grandpa!!"

A sonic boom exploded through the hallway, and the scorching trail seemed to distort the air.

Less than twenty meters away, the high-speed mass projectile blasted the chainsaw and the mutant away.

When he was shooting at the green baboon with his carbine just now, Night Ten turned on the charge switch of the Gauss rifle behind him, and almost at the moment when he emptied the last bullet in the magazine, he switched to the Gauss rifle that had been charged.

At such a close distance, there is no chance of survival as long as you hit.

However, the warning signs that lingered in my heart had not yet dissipated from Ye Shi's mind.

"Isn't it...... How the hell is still alive?! ”

The capacitor's cooling CD was almost over, and Night Ten pressed the charge switch again, intending to give the green baboon another shot.

However, almost as soon as he flipped the switch, a deafening explosion came from the other side of the hallway almost simultaneously.

"Bang ——!"

The massive impact slammed into his chest, sending him staggering backwards.

Two more gunshots rang out, one shattering the door panel that was hanging behind him and the other pushing him into the twisted elevator case.

"Roaring ——!"

The huge barrel of the gun emitted green smoke, and the bloodshot eyes burned with rage.

Oulu, who struggled to get up from the wall, grabbed the half-cut chainsaw that had fallen to the ground, and no longer dared to hold it up, roaring angrily and rushing towards the crooked elevator.

Of course, a few buckshot bullets couldn't penetrate the power armor, but with enough strength, he had no doubt that he could smash the guy in the iron coffin into flesh.

He didn't care where the rat came from, or if he was in the same group as the other mice.

He just wants him to die now!

"Die!!"

"Daddy——!"

The half-cut chainsaw slammed into the power armor that had fallen to the ground, but the sudden feeling of slashing on the steel did not come, and the chainsaw in his hand smashed straight through the floor of the elevator car, and the blunt teeth stuck in the dented and broken metal plate.

His attack seemed to have been predicted.

The human in the iron bump rolled sideways to dodge the fatal blow, slamming into the side of the elevator car and setting up the Gauss rifle in his hand.

Of course, he wouldn't let this guy succeed, and with a flick of his left arm, the stick-like barrel fanned the high-tech rifle straight out.

"Bang ——!"

A flickering arc of electricity was released, and a hot trajectory almost passed through them, blasting a large hole in the elevator car.

Oulu grinned, let go of the jammed half-chainsaw, and rolled over and rode on the power armor, restricting his joints, and the fist-sized barrel slammed directly into his neck.

However, something unexpected happened to Oulu.

Almost as soon as he triggered the trigger - or perhaps a second earlier, the power armor he was riding under him raised his right hand, slammed the muzzle of the gun to his chest, and clung to it so desperately that the barrel of his gun was almost welded to his own breastplate.

Oulu's face changed, and he instinctively sensed danger from the human's movements, but it was too late.

The gunpowder exploded, and the energy that went nowhere exploded the chamber of the gun, sending hot sparks and charred flesh flying in the elevator car.

Oulu screamed in pain, his broken left arm was dripping with blood, and he couldn't tell where the blood was and where the machine was, so he staggered backwards and fell to the ground.

Night Ten's breastplate was knocked out by the kinetic energy of the lead bullet and fell to the ground with a muffled grunt, although it was also unflattering, but it was still much better than the ruthless man who welded the barrel of the gun to his body.

“…… Master told you, Lao Tzu is your father. ”

With a grin, Yajuchi struggled to get up from the ground and walked over to the mutant named Oulu.

There was no signal in the elevator shaft, so he wasn't worried about this guy asking for help, but considering the mutant's cockroach-like vitality, it was better to make up for it as soon as possible.

Sensing the threat of death, Oulu struggled to get up from the ground.

Without giving him a chance to breathe, he directly pulled out the battle dagger tied to his waist and stabbed him fiercely in the eye socket.

"Roaring ——!"

The dagger stuck in the eye socket, and Oulu let out a howl of pain, but before he could be killed, his right fist slammed into Yashi's head.

This guy's vitality is indeed not ordinary tenacity, and he is still struggling at this point.

The helmet was firmly punched, and the prepared Yashi's head just shook slightly, and without pause, he picked up his fist and slammed it into the grip of the dagger like a hammer.

Smack——!

The blunt sensation of metal splitting flesh and bones came from the fist, and the dagger stuck in the skull pierced directly into Oulu's skull.

Oulu twitched like an electric shock, and then the electronic eye on the left half of his face rolled upward, completely unmoving.

Worried that this guy was not dead, Ye Shi made up for him a few more times, and the entire elevator car was in a mess, and the plasma almost soaked the floor.

"...... Damn it, right? ”

Ye Shi, who was almost out of strength, breathed a sigh of relief, let go of Oulu, who was no longer moving, pulled out the battle dagger from him, looked around, and couldn't help but smash his tongue again.

This amount of bleeding has to catch up with the B-grade film.

No, B-grade movies are simply weak compared to this one!

What is this called a joy-oriented game?

Silently complaining about Brother Guang in his heart, Ye Shi picked up the Gauss rifle running in the plasma and shook off the blood stains on it.

The barrel was smashed crooked by the mutant, but the Type 15 "Python" was originally a detachable barrel, which didn't affect much.

Hanging the Gauss rifle behind him, Night Ten took a few pictures of the prosthetic mutant corpse, picked up some wreckage with him, and hurriedly evacuated the elevator car and rushed to the safe passage.

Although the mutant named Oulu came down alone to fight him, it was obviously not just the "big guy" who surrounded him.

Four or five mutants crouched at the staircase of the safe passage, the killing intent visible to the naked eye almost overflowing from his retina.

However, killing intent is killing intent, and the combat power of these little minions is obviously much worse than the elite monster that was transformed by the prosthetic body just now.

Estimating that he couldn't break through the blockade of the firepower net, Ye Shi simply exited the stairwell and returned to the B1 floor, raised his hand and pasted a C4 on the ceiling, turned around and turned into the room on the side.

"Come down, you!" A wicked smile curled up at the corners of his mouth, and he clenched the detonator in his hand hard.

A loud bang echoed through the hallway, and the blast wave not only shattered the ceiling, but also collapsed the old concrete slabs.

The mutants guarding the exit of the safe passage on the first floor didn't have time to react, and they fell down with them, falling into the billowing dust.

If it were an ordinary person, it is estimated that they would have been killed on the spot, but the mutants shook their heads and rested for a while to recover.

Without giving them a chance to breathe, Yashi stepped over the concrete shards all over the ground and shot them directly at the heads.

The sound of explosions in the building caught the attention of the mutants patrolling the streets, and Yashi did not dare to walk through the gate, but went around the street through the back door.

Almost as soon as he fled into the street, however, the lights lit up on both sides of the street that blinded people's eyes.

Through the tactical eyepiece, Night Ten saw that it was two armed pickup trucks with steel plates welded, and the machine guns on the roof were aimed straight at him.

"Grass—"

His face changed slightly, and Night Ten was about to find cover to dodge, when two missiles whizzed down from the night sky, and the flames of the explosion engulfed the two armed pickup trucks almost instantly.

The mutants, caught in flames, stumbled out of their cars, and gunshots rang out on the other side of the street.

At the same time, sudden gunfire rang out on the other side of the street, and the commander of Fang, who had previously covered the evacuation of the guerrillas, returned with his men.

A familiar and long-lost voice came from the communication channel.

"Night Ten! How's it going? ”

Hearing that voice like a heavenly sound, Ye Shi said excitedly.

"Good brother—"

"Don't talk nonsense, come over here !!"

The rude voice unceremoniously interrupted his half-brewing mood.

"Hey, hey, Roger!" Smiling embarrassedly, Eleven Night kept running towards the meeting point on the map.

Mutant shouts can be heard in the distant streets, and the raucous gunfire is like a cannon, chasing the ass of the group to the corner.

Night Ten quickly joined up with Team B led by Commander Fang and rushed to the evacuation point together.

The evacuation point was in the open-air parking lot of an abandoned building, only 300 meters away from their location, and the Viper transport plane was parked in the middle of the open-air parking lot.

The group hurriedly boarded the plane, and the pilot immediately raised the altitude and flew in the direction of the suburbs with a vertical take-off and landing transport plane.

The crisis has finally been resolved.

Seeing that the lights were boiling half of the city farther and farther away, Ye Shi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Fang Chang, who was sitting opposite.

"Didn't you withdraw? How did you get back? ”

Before Fang Chang could speak, he quit smoking and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

"Brother, a million! It's not a shame to leave you behind! ”

Another team member also laughed and teased.

"yes, I'm going to have to pick up your body."

Night Ten: "Gan! Is it so ruthless? ”

Fang Chang rolled his eyes.

"Stop talking nonsense, what the hell did you just do?"

Thinking back to the previous tense and exciting experience, Yajuchi sighed.

"It's a long story, the mutant touched my downstairs and was going to steal my ass, and I sensed it in advance and was going to get down the elevator. As a result, these guys don't talk about martial arts, and they probably heard the movement in the elevator shaft and cut the cable directly on it......"

"There's nothing wrong with the train of thought, if you move quickly, the other side may not react, but you ...... equipment" Fang Chang's expression subtly glanced at his power armor, "Aren't you afraid of the inside of the card?" ”

Ye Shi scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, suddenly remembered something, and immediately changed the topic and said.

"By the way, those mutants are kind of weird."

As he spoke, he removed the wreckage that was hanging from the power armor.

It was black, sticky with toasted blood and scraps, and it was impossible to tell where it had been removed.

Several players leaned over and took a look, but they couldn't figure it out.

Fang Chang frowned slightly.

"It's ......"

Ye Shi's eyes were blazing and he said, "Transform the prosthetic body!" I took it from that elitist - oh no, from that boss. ”

Hearing his answer, the players immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Damn?! Prosthetic?! ”

"Mutants?!"

"You're not dazzled, aren't you?"

Seeing that these animals didn't believe it, Ye Shi suddenly became anxious.

"This can be wrong, Lao Tzu has poked the dagger in his head."

As he spoke, he vividly described the shape of the prosthetic mutant and how dangerous the situation was.

It wasn't until he was dry and satisfied that he shared the photos he took to his teammates' terminals, and he was slapped in the face again.

Quit smoking is attentive enough, it has always been what others say he believes, especially when he hears the dangerous fight in the elevator, his eyes are round.

It wasn't until the night ten brothers finished bragging that he sighed with emotion.

"Good fellow...... When will mutants also be able to have modification surgery? ”

"It's not that it's incomprehensible that the top brass of the Torch Church are not believers in the pure sense of the word, but experts in the Vault, and religion is more like a tool for them."

Fang Chang stared at the photo on the VM screen with a frown on his brow and continued.

"I had similar feelings just now...... Those mutants don't look like ordinary mutant tribes, either tactically or with equipment. ”

Lao Bai also fell into deep thought.

"Well, especially those vehicles and weapons, it's like they're made for them."

Several players next to them exchanged glances.

It seems that the task of recycling nuclear fuel is not as simple as they imagined......

Instead of flying back to the station, the helicopter flew to the outskirts more than a dozen kilometers away and landed on the edge of the forest, where the trees were relatively sparse.

One of the good things about this jet helicopter is that it doesn't have to worry about the propellers getting into the branches, and it can basically land anywhere.

Another viper also stopped nearby, and the player who had retreated there first lit a fire and sat down next to it.

There are also six other guerrillas who have been withdrawn with the player nearby, two of whom are severely injured and unconscious.

Seeing Lao Bai and his party coming, the wind threw the branch that was playing with the fire into it, got up and walked over from the fire.

He was flanked by a middle-aged man with a scarf around his neck, a cement-gray coat, an armband with the tower logo on his arm, and an assault rifle wrapped in strips of cloth and duct tape on his back.

Looks like a seasoned veteran.

"Thank you for coming to the rescue."

"You're welcome, I have a lot of complaints to say, and a lot of questions to ask you......" Lao Bai stared at him for a while, and then asked straight to the point, "Your name, who are you?" And then who sent you? ”

Maybe he asked more directly.

The atmosphere was a little tense for a while.

Excluding the two unconscious, the three partisans sitting next to the fire tensed their nerves.

However, they clearly knew that their stragglers could not be the match for these well-armed "professionals", so they wisely did not make a misleading move.

The man's expression was very calm, and he looked at Lao Bai and said.

"Li Jinrong, you can call us 'Iron Tower', and that's what our organization will call us. No one sent us, we are not anyone's men, we fight only for ourselves...... Seeing you firing at those mutants, I thought we could be allies. ”

Lao Bai smiled faintly.

"Whether we can be allies depends on your sincerity."

Li Jinrong looked at him and said.

"I think sincerity is mutual."

Lao Bai succinctly reported his home.

"Old white, Alliance. As for the rest, we saved your life, and I think that sincerity is enough. ”

Hearing a few of these key words, a touch of surprise appeared in Li Jinrong's eyes, and he looked at Lao Bai in disbelief and said.

"Alliance...... Are you from the Alliance? That alliance in the southern part of the province of the River Valley? ”

"Yes, there's nothing like this guy to prove our identity," Lao Bai patted the LD-47 assault rifle hanging on the power armor as he spoke, and looked at him and raised his eyebrows, "You seem to have heard of us?" ”

Li Jinrong nodded slowly.

"I've heard that you relied on shoddy equipment to beat the legion in Luoxia Province...... However, it seems that the shoddy equipment is a rumor. ”

Although the rifle looks a little retro, but the power armor and vertical take-off and landing of the aircraft...... These equipment are not considered crotch pulls.

Lao Bai could feel that after learning that they were members of the alliance, although this guy did not completely relax his vigilance, his vigilance was significantly reduced.

Obviously, there is some benefit to this thing.

Just like the merchants in Yunjian Province, whether they have been to Ideal City or not, they like to say that they are from enterprises.

Ye Shi Hehe smiled and interjected.

"It's a rumor, but overall, those big-nosed guys are better than us."

didn't let the kid Ye Shi take the topic crookedly, Fang Chang interjected into the topic and asked.

"Why Champion Biopharmaceutical Institute?"

Li Jinrong hesitated slightly.

"Why ......"

Fang Chang stared into his eyes and continued.

"If you're targeting mutants, there's more to them than just a stronghold in the city. What do you all know about that facility? ”

Li Jinrong pursed his lips.

"Mutants? We don't care about the green-skinned guys, we're targeting the torch-carrying sticks. ”

Quit smoking: "Torch Church? ”

"Yes...... They ruined our homes and killed my family," with a twinkle of hatred in his eyes, the man said word by word, "I don't care what their plan is, as long as I can bite a piece of meat off them, I'll do it." ”

"Coincidentally, we don't have a good relationship with those gods, they supported the Bone Chewing Rebellion, and in the alliance they are the 'Xie Sect'." After a pause, Lao Bai looked at him and continued, "The purpose of our visit to Jinchuan Province happens to be related to those guys who spread the plague everywhere, so does that facility have anything to do with the Torch Church?" ”

"I don't know, but when those guys came to Geumhe, the first stop they went to was there. We followed them all the way from Haiya Province to here...... But alas, our power is too weak, and the locals like them more than we do, so we can only watch them form an alliance with mutants, and then watch them make the land stinky and end up repeating our mistakes......"

When he said this, Li Jinrong stared at Lao Bai with blazing eyes.

Lao Bai knew what was going on in his heart.

However, this is beyond his purview, and he needs to report the matter to the manager, who will make a decision.

"We have a common enemy, and we may be able to cooperate, but I'm just a corps commander, so I can't give you an answer right away."

"It's okay, we can wait!"

In order to increase his own weight, Li Jinrong then continued, "Our members are not only these people, we have bases near various settlements! ”

Lao Bai nodded.

"I'll report it to our managers as it is."

"Haiya Province? Where is that? Night Ten exchanged glances with quit smoking and muttered quietly.

Quit smoking scratched his head, confused.

But fortunately, Elder Brother Youfang is here.

"The southern part of Geshikigawa Province is located in the tropics, with a long coastline and large hilly mountains, with only a few plains...... It is said to be the nest of the Torch Church. ”

Glancing at the night sky to the south, he paused and continued.

"The Dead Coast is there."

It should be the closest place to the sea for the Alliance.
