Vault 404.

Browsing room on the B4 floor.

Chu Guang, who had finally finished editing and uploading the update file, was browsing the feedback from the players and cloud players below the post.

Passing by the melon-eating crowd: "Why don't you have a version number!" When exactly will it be updated! (Crazy)"

Ayanami little angel: "The dog is planning to work, what about a small number of bugs?" Still can't fix it? ”

Pig Farmer: "Dad!! Closed beta qualifications come to one! ”

Professor Yang of the Thunder and Lightning Law: "Borrow the building to advertise, ergonomic game cabin!" The basic model comes with a helmet lying stand, which can be customized for vital signs monitoring, nutrition maintenance, and auxiliary metabolic functions, so that you no longer have to be woken up by hunger or urine! Buy now and give away two physical examinations, interested in private!! (bared teeth)"

Raiden General: "Professor Yang!" Be careful when you buy it, this is a cloud, and you haven't played this dick game before. ”

Night Ten: "You may not believe it, this guy is also a veteran player." (Funny)"

Fang Chang: "I think that more than whether I have played this game or not, I should be more worried about this guy playing some tricks in other places, and it is recommended to go to the public security to prepare for the case." (Squint)"

Professor Yang of the Thunder and Lightning Method: "Gan! You are prejudice! ”

Tyrannosaurus Warrior: "Can Brother Guang give me a helmet?" I promise not to mess with the game, I just want to see if it's realistic. ”

Authentic Water Heater: "I I want to ride a mammoth!! QAQ”

After eating, he held on: "Can Brother Guang send an experience card, I just want to go in and take a look!" Just at a glance! ”

Tail: "Whoa! That guy is huge! (ω)”

Roshan Big Bun: "When we loaded that guy on the ship, we almost trampled our boat over. (Khan)"

Fujito: "Anyway, this expansion is really far enough, and you have to take a boat when you get off the train." ”

Crow: "Die once and play for half a month, and sure enough, it is still safe in the novice village." (=ω｀=)”

Less calf: "Damn! You're too salty, aren't you? ”

“……”

Previously, the White Bear Knights had brought back two mammoths from the Mammoth Country, and now they are being kept in the zoo in Dawning City.

The wastelanders of the Riverdale Province have long been accustomed to the various styles of xenomorphs, after all, their esteemed rulers even keep Deathclaw as pets, but their children are still interested in this large, docile animal.

There was a wave of baby booms in the Coalition just after the Bone Chewing Rebellion, and now the children have learned to speak.

The world in their eyes is different from the world in the eyes of their parents, and when they see those two fluffy hills, they only feel new and cute, and even want to climb up to play.

While some right-leaning survivors hold a conservative view that the misuse of genetic technology is the culprit of today's xenomorph epidemic and that prehistoric creatures resurrected by genetic technology should not be displayed as a positive image, there are also some survivors on the left who take an enlightened view of the two mammoths as a symbol of the Mammoth's friendship with the Alliance.

For example, the workers of the workers' union.

In addition, the two mammoths are also quite popular on the forum, and they are even about to become the new mascots after "Niko" and "Xiao Yu".

In the past, some cloud gamers yelled for a helmet because they wanted to see how realistic the game was, but now there is another reason to "want to see mammoths".

In addition to the new booth at the zoo, Dawning City has a lot more things that weren't there before.

For example, the second museum, and then the art gallery, the gymnasium, and the exhibition hall of the wreckage of the space station, etc., which did not exist before.

Looking at the various changes brought to the game by these little players, Chu Guang was also very relieved in his heart.

A truly smart manager is not a guy who is addicted, has a lot of ideas and is confident like Wu Camel, but can develop a complete framework for a systematic project, so that the people and things in this system can perform their duties and make the best use of them.

If the alliance grows to the same size as before, and requires him to deploy every command himself, it will only mean that he is busy in vain.

With both hands on his cheeks, Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the pen holder, stared at Chu Guang intently.

"Speaking of which, the master hasn't updated the version number for a long time."

Letting go of the hand holding the mouse, Chu Guang said with a smile.

"Isn't that good? My biggest concern was what the alliance would do without me. Now I'm not worried, even if we don't intervene, the game will continue to update itself. ”

"But Xiao Qi thinks it's too early for you to think so far now...... Ah, the number of applicants has exceeded 30,000! It's amazing! For some reason, Xiao Qi didn't seem to want to talk about this thing, and suddenly changed the topic.

Chu Guang didn't think much about it, and said with a faint smile.

"That's pretty much the limit...... It is estimated that it will be almost 35,000 in the end. ”

Although Borneo has been hotly discussed on forums recently, Wasteland Online is not the only region.

There is a special area of Ice Sea City in the wandering swamp to the north, a special area of Yunxia City in the province of Yunjian to the east, and ten planned settlements in the south, and the players of the alliance have long been spread throughout the eastern world of the Middle-earth continent.

In addition, the Alliance's biological research institutes and scientific expedition teams are also frequently sending scientific research teams to Baiyue Province and the eastern provinces, and players are also needed to protect these personnel.

Although there are a lot of people online today, after being distributed among the various clusters, there are not many players who can actually squeeze out.

But this war isn't just about players.

Due to the active presence of some players in the area, the local survivors have spontaneously united, temporarily putting aside their grievances and forming a united front.

Not to mention that there are 30,000 players who go there.

Even if there are only three thousand, then the Southern Legion has no chance of winning!

Closing the update announcement page, Chu Guang continued to wander around the forum, and found that Fang Chang had already opened another post to communicate with Mole and the other players who participated in the expansion about the strategy of the war.

At present, the Burning Corps has arrived in Tiandu by plane, and the armored unit of the Skeleton Corps has also driven to Xiangzhou, and is advancing towards the area of Niuzhou, where Tiandu is located.

Soon there will be a good show to watch.

Just when Chu Guang was happily peeping at the screen, Xiao Qi, who was sitting in the pen holder, suddenly spoke.

"Master, Foreign Minister Cheng Yan said that there is something important to communicate with you face-to-face, and he has arrived at the door of the shelter."

Chu Guang glanced at the time, it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and he couldn't help but wonder what was it that made Cheng Yan anxious like this, so he spoke.

"Let him come and see me here in the browsing room."

Xiao Qi said energetically.

"Okay!"

After handing over the reception to Xiao Qi, Chu Guang asked X-16, who was standing on the side, to make two cups of coffee, and then went to the room next to him to change into his regular clothes.

Not long after, the door of the browsing room opened, and Cheng Yan walked in from the outside with a serious face.

"Dear Mr. Administrator, I'm sorry to disturb your rest, but just now we received news from the South Sea Alliance that they were intercepted by an unidentified fleet on their way to the blockade port in the western Borneo Sea, and were forced to change their original plans."

Unidentified fleets?

Chu Guang was slightly stunned, and his expression quickly became serious.

"Is there anyone suspicious?"

Cheng Yan reported truthfully.

"The other party did not take the initiative to contact our side, and the two sides tested each other for a round but there was no result. However, according to Li Minghui's speculation, the power system they used was significantly different from that of the ships of the Southern Army...... Not surprisingly, those ships were supposed to be Western Legions. ”

Western Legion ......

Hearing this unfamiliar name, Chu Guang's brows furrowed slightly.

He had heard from Vanus a long time ago that there were four legion commanders, divided into four legions, southeast, northwest, and north.

The Northern, Eastern, and Southern legions are all on the mainland of the Middle-earth continent, and one Western legion is in the distant New World.

Due to the distance, Vanus did not have much information about it, only knowing that the Western Legion had relatively developed naval technology, and the settlements were mainly located along the east coast of the New World, but there were also a small number of ports on the west coast.

To be honest, there are actually some loopholes in the ancient "contract" signed between the Enterprise and the Legion under the witness of the Academy and the Great Rift Valley.

The contract only stipulates that the legion cannot expand eastward across the Great Desert, but it does not stipulate how much the legion can expand westward.

After all, this planet is round, and it is not only the Middle-earth continent, there is a slightly smaller continental plate on the other side of the planet.

And now it is more tricky that due to the poor orbital environment, there are no space facilities that can directly observe the New World. And the merchants of the alliance have rarely heard of who has been to such a far place.

The use of telepathic interference technology to repel marine xenomorphs has only been a matter of recent years.

In the early years, ships sailing in the southern waters of the Middle-earth continent either used the indigenous method of "black ironwood" or the sonar sensors of the South China Sea Alliance, and no one would venture to explore completely unfamiliar waters.

For the Alliance, intelligence on the Western Continent is close to a blank slate.

Looking at Chu Guang, who was deep in thought, Cheng Yan cautiously proposed.

"I'm thinking...... Will there be any intelligence on the Western Legion on the side of the enterprise? After all, Ideal City is located in the easternmost part of the East Coast, at least closer to the New World than we are. ”

Chu Guang thought for a moment and said.

"Let me ask...... Although I don't think they are as enthusiastic about matters outside of the Cloud Province as we are. ”

The Eastern Legion has been held down by him, but the Northern Legion and the Western Legion have not yet expressed their position.

In fact, so far Bennott has only been able to represent the opinion of Triumph City, and the Alliance does not have any diplomatic channels to communicate directly with the Northern Legion and the Western Legion.

But—

Why would the Western Legion be interested in things in Borneo?

Those guys are much farther away from Borneo than the Union is from Borneo.

Looking at the hot air on the coffee cup, Chu Guang thought quietly, and suddenly his eyes moved slightly.

“…… Is it arms? ”

Cheng Yan was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed slightly.

"What do you mean...... The Western Corps is exporting arms to the port of West Sails? ”

"It's not just as simple as exporting arms, it's not a 'project subcontracting'......" With a slight snort, Chu Guang took a sip of the coffee cup and put the cup back on the table, "I should have thought that this might happen." ”

The relationship between the Southern Corps and the civilian officials of Triumph City has become strained, and it is unlikely that the logistics will be handed over to the latter to ensure that they are any longer.

Now the Eastern Legion has also made it clear that it will not participate in this campaign, and the temporary port located in the southwest of Luoxia Province, near the Chobar Mountains, and the transportation route across the Great Desert will not be open to the Southern Legion.

In this case, it is not surprising that the Southern Corps would choose other partners.

He could even guess that the top brass of the Southern Legion must have promised certain benefits to the top of the Western Legion.

For example, 30% of the interests of the "new colonies".

It's like a collaboration between the alliance and a company on a space elevator project.

Whether you want to admit it or not, the forces of like-minded survivors are natural allies.

Cheng Yan asked seriously.

“…… The Southern Union wants us to give them a suggestion, what to do next? ”

Chu Guang thought for a while and said.

"The other party did not show his identity, but hid behind and made small moves, which shows that they do not want to have a direct conflict with us. Since they are pretending to be stupid, then rely on them, and we will not debunk their tricks. ”

Cheng Yan asked with a frown.

"Leave them alone?"

"How is it possible, are our submarines and submarines ornaments?" Chu Guang smiled, his voice carrying a faint chill, "I heard that there are many sea monsters in the Borneo Sea, such as ...... Laken, who can fire torpedoes. The transport ship that was sunk by Laken can't be counted on our heads. ”

Cheng Yan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"That's a good idea!"

Chu Guang shook his head with a smile and did not speak.

What a good idea......

Isn't that the basic?

He believed that even if he didn't open his mouth, Cheng Yan would be able to come up with this idea.

But people have their own thoughts, and this guy is obviously no exception.

When one's prestige reaches a certain height, the people around him will subconsciously lower their posture, whether out of respect, dependence, or other purposes.

The inhabitants of the Vault are fine, and the Coalition Wastelanders are more or less a little.

Except for scientific research-related positions, the only wasteland guest who unreservedly displays his talent may be Xiaoyu alone.

It was not until not long ago that many people, including Lu Bei, changed their address to him from "adult" to "sir" at his repeated request.

Chu Guang could see the restraint in Cheng Yan's heart, but he didn't break it, just briefly explained the follow-up work, asked him to deal with this matter flexibly, and ended the meeting.

Some things are too much, but they are too much.

Cheng Yan's work has always been very good, whether it is to the Golden Gallen Port or the Eastern Army.

Chu Guang didn't want him to interpret this as "being dissatisfied with his work......

"Master, Xiaoqi feels that your survivors are still quite dependent on you." Seeing Cheng Yan leave, Xiao Qi's voice was slightly proud, and he gently shook his calf hanging next to the pen holder.

Looking at this little guy with the tip of his nose cocked proudly, Chu Guang stretched out his index finger and touched its little head.

"Got it...... But I don't think that's anything to be happy about. ”

"Uh-huh, Xiaoqi just thinks it's happy!"

smoothed out the messy hair, Xiao Qi rarely did not follow his meaning, but raised a bar with him.

But after a moment, the corners of the smug mouth drooped again, and for some reason it suffered from a cautious tone, and the swaying calves stopped moving.

"So...... Is it okay not to leave? ”

The index finger hung above the little guy's head, and Chu Guang, who was about to push it into the pen holder, was stunned for a moment.

"What are you talking about?"

Holding his head in both hands, Xiao Qi muttered.

"Hmm...... Xiaoqi is worried that one day, you will be the same as that person, and they will all be me in the future, and then I don't know where to go. ”

Looking at Xiao Qi, who was suddenly depressed, Chu Guang was slightly stunned, and it took a while to remember who it was talking about.

That's the designer of "Fang Ming".

When the space-based weapon operation authority was first sent, the AI named Fang Ming told it a lot about its designer.

Perhaps it is the sensitivity of AI, Xiaoqi sees a similar shadow from himself.

Chu Guang was silent for a while, and instead of continuing to play with this little guy as usual, he gently picked it up and put it on his shoulder.

"Even the computer buried beneath the ruins of the inner city that was designed to calculate the future is not 100% accurate...... Even the development of things is always far from what we originally envisioned, and the unexpected is the majority. ”

"So don't always worry about things that are far away, at least I'm still here now, and we're both young."

"Even if I go to a distant place in the future, I will take you with me."

In reality, something is delayed, sorry brothers, I'm short......
