Chapter 979: Endgame Crisis Strikes Again?
The official website of "Wasteland Online".
Today is as lively as ever.
Players who received the expansion rewards shared their experiences on the forum, and it was no surprise that complaints about Goblin Technology products dominated the hot list of forum topics.
After all, the customers of other brands, including "Jushi Military Industry", have not been disconnected, even if they want to complain, they have to be carried back.
The Great African Chief: "it! Mosquitoes, you're too pitiful! ”
Yuan Infant Stage: "Why did the said good explosive thruster explode directly at the press of a button?!" (Confused)"
Repeat Torturer One: "Hahahaha, exploding thruster, nothing wrong!" ”
Brave Piggy: "Pit Bi! My brother and cow blew up! (Angry)"
Brave Niu Niu: "Get out of Nima!" Lao Tzu is called Niu Niu! ”
A thoughtful person: "Why are there still players scolding, aren't you going to screen players, Ah Guang, how do you choose players!! ”
The Tyrannosaurus warrior has blackened: "Give me his helmet!! (screams)"
Irena: "It's the first time I've played this game, Goblin Tech's products are like this, just get used to it." (Funny)"
Elf King Fugui: "You have actually wronged the mosquito, he has already given you the best, and he can't accept the suggestion to fork out the option of 'Player Product Reward Pool'." (Funny)"
Several versions ago, players were allowed to log in to the system store to sell their own DIY gear, but the entry into the prize pool of the expansion raffle is a recent thing.
Of course, considering that the player's brain hole does not always have a positive effect, whether or not to access the prize pool is not a mandatory option, and the checkbox will also compensate for the weight of the winner's probability of winning.
Wasteland Online has always been very user-friendly in this regard.
As for the brothers who play and can't afford to play......
Then you can't afford to play.
Anyway, the mosquito's skin is already as thick as the city wall, and this output is too weak for him.
Just when a group of budding newcomers were criticizing mosquitoes, a powerful post suddenly inserted into everyone's field of vision.
Night Ten: "Big news!! The missile cruiser Orion is suspected of being taken away! 100,000 neutron torpedoes are ready to fly!! ”
Tail: "Giao??? ”
Quit smoking: "What's the matter?!" ”
Commander of the Spring: "Ahem...... Missile cruisers? South China Sea Alliance? What is a 100,000 neutron torpedo? ”
As soon as the post was issued, it immediately stirred up a thousand waves!
Although there has always been no shortage of title parties on the forum, this guy Night Ten is not an ordinary title party after all.
Because he often broke the inside information, this guy was even ridiculed in private as Ah Guang's own son, which shows that his words still have a certain degree of credibility, at most it is a question of how much credibility he has.
It is precisely because of this that not only those players who "defend their rights" were diverted by this eye-catching news, but even the mosquito boss who had been pretending to be dead jumped out.
WC really has mosquitoes: "What the hell?! And what blind guy is coming to trouble our alliance? ”
The Great African Chief: "Whoa! him! (Angry)"
As usual, the first post on the night ten took up a pit, and when the post covered hundreds of floors and whetted everyone's appetite, he posted the whole story on the forum eloquently.
“…… We captured a disciple of the Enlightenment, a resident of Vault 68, in the city of Avent, who, according to clues unearthed from his memory, hijacked the Academy research ship in order to reach the USS Orion, a guided missile cruiser in synchronous orbit. ”
Commander of the Spring: "Two questions, aren't they on the space station at Lagrange Point, why do they need the Academy's research ship?" Also, there are so many scientific research ships in the academy, why don't you occupy the pit in the synchronous orbit first? ”
Fang Chang: "The first one is actually very easy to explain, just because they are on the space station at the Lagrange point does not mean that they have the ability to travel back and forth between the Lagrange point and the geosynchronous orbit. Maybe they weren't actually there, just a piece of information on a hard drive or server. ”
Siss: "A 'digital ghost'?" ”
Roshan Big Bun: "Hiss...... It's scary. (scared)"
Commander of the Spring: "What about the second one?" ”
Fang Chang: "There are many possible explanations, but I am more inclined to think that the academy tried, but failed due to insufficient conditions, so this matter was shelved. But to be honest, no matter which angle you interpret it, it is to reverse the cause from the result, which is actually meaningless. ”
The mole in the canyon is on the run: "I don't think it's meaningful, you just say it." ”
Fang Chang: "How do I know what's going on, I'm not a manager." Anyway, the next expansion may be related to space, probably ...... So be it. (Squint)"
Quit smoking: "Damn! Your analysis is too sloppy! ”
Debt-indebted: "The planner was about to copy it, and he put down the pen again with a scolding." (Funny)"
The construction site boy and the brick: "Ah Guang: Brother, you make it difficult for me to do this." (Funny)"
Professor Yang of the Thunderbolt Law: "Hey, it hurts me to see you guys play "Wasteland OL" into "Space OL". ”
The Tyrannosaurus warrior has been blackened: "Ahhhh ”
Night Ten: "Starry Sky OL, Launch!" (Funny)"
Tail: "Oh! Meat Meat Number, Launch! ”
Meat: "Our ship can drive in the sea!" (laughs and cries)"
Siss: "It looks like the housing prices in Coral City are going to go up, if the deep sea can stop the neutron torpedo." ”
"I think it's all called torpedoes...... It's a bit of a hanging. (helpless)"
“……”
The post quickly skewed up.
And there is no intention of getting back on track at all.
Chu Guang, who was sitting in the shelter, opened a few game groups and took a look, and found that the old players had indeed transferred the battlefield, but they didn't have any good ideas.
Think about it too.
That's 100,000 "neutron bombs", and this level of combat power is beyond the limits of what the survivor forces in the wasteland can handle.
Looking at the lines of information dancing on the holographic screen, Chu Guang frowned and turned the pen in his hand.
"It's not easy to do......"
……
The other side.
The sewers of the city of Avent.
The glow of the flashlight swayed on the moss-covered stone brick walls, disturbing the rats hiding under the garbage heaps.
Walking in the aisle, Fengqing and Oni were following the path marked on the VM map towards the goal, chatting with each other.
“Emmm…… That is, at this moment 100,000 neutron bombs have been aimed at the top of our heads? ”
"That's what the forum says."
"Babble...... It's hard to do. ”
"It's going to be difficult."
After the friends who cooperated with the Burning Corps escorted the "prisoner" to the security station, the two of them simply checked the injuries, then changed into new equipment and returned to the sewers, continuing the previous task that was not completed due to extraneous problems.
Although both of them were not lightly injured, they were not serious enough to be unable to move.
But the thought of so many big guys hanging overhead made the ghost feel discouraged.
It felt like the world was going to be destroyed, and she was still clocking in to work.
“…… Gan! So what are we doing this mission! As he spoke, the ghost kicked the pebbles on the ground and watched as the clatters slammed into the metal barricades of the sewers.
Feng Qing gave the ghost a strange look.
"Why...... Of course, it's 1,000 silver, that's 1,000 silver. ”
Looking at this guy who is all apocalyptic and doesn't care, the ghost said with a smile.
"But...... The world is going to be destroyed, what's the use of silver? ”
Feng Qing: "It's a little cheesy, at least you can exchange money?" ”
"Well, it seems to be too." The ghost scratched his head, and for a moment he couldn't refute it.
At least there have been no major fluctuations in the "silver exchange", and several mysterious buyers are still secretly buying.
And it seems that there are more to buy?
Feng Qing smiled and patted the ghost on the shoulder.
"Anla, he's going to have a tall man on top of it when the sky falls, so it's useless for us to worry here."
"You're in a good state of mind," the ghost sighed, and suddenly said on a whim, "By the way, did you say that the dog couldn't afford to play and wanted to do it this way...... Restart the server? And then the open beta? ”
"It's hard to say." Feng Qing thought for a moment and said, "But I think...... When the time comes, I'll probably give the helmet to someone who needs it. ”
The ghost looked at her in surprise, as if taken aback by her words.
"Gan, I just said that you have a good mentality, you are AFK?"
Feng Qing said with a smile.
"It's not AFK either, although it doesn't seem to make a difference in terms of results......
After thinking for a moment, she suddenly used a rare serious tone.
"I just think...... The familiar people are gone, and the rebooted world no longer has their traces, nor does it have their continuation, so why not let them and everything about this world live in my memory? Anyway, for me this story is over, maybe that's how it feels, right? ”
Although she is not the main character, she has no regrets about this adventure.
The rebooted world won't end there, the world won't stop running because of the lack of a gear like her, and maybe even it will run more smoothly than before.
She had a strong premonition in her heart.
The descendants who take the torch from them will run faster and go farther than them!
Even among those energetic newcomers, there will be a girl named "Fengqing", although she is a completely different person, but she has the strength and courage that is not lost to her.
She will inherit her ID and climb over the peaks that she once could only look up to.
Looking at Feng Qing, who had a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, the ghost sighed deeply and reached out to scratch the back of his head.
"I can understand what you're saying, even if it's not your way of thinking...... It's so much trouble for me to re-acquaint myself with new people and do what I've done all over again. ”
After a pause for a few seconds, she turned her face sideways to look at Feng Qing and said in a serious tone.
"If there was a day, I would probably do the same thing as you."
Feng Qing smiled and patted her best friend's shoulder.
"Isn't it too early for us to say this? Let's earn 1000 credits first. ”
"Hmm!"
The ghost nodded vigorously, and his otherwise listless face rekindled his enthusiasm with enthusiasm.
Even if tomorrow is the end of the world, she has to finish the tasks on her task list!
Otherwise, if she really "shut down", wouldn't the xenomorph nest in the sewers of Avent City become a regret for her life?
Guided by the VM map, the two men walked through a narrow hallway, demolished a fence gate, and went down a well, then over a waterlogged area, and up a metal ladder to a high platform.
The frightened little mouse had run far enough to squeak and grind its teeth as it waded under 17th Street.
Is the water pipe sweeter there?
The two of them then got into a zigzag passage, and then the scenery in front of them suddenly opened up.
It's a very different space.
There is no rancid smell of sewers, and the air is surprisingly dry.
The walls on either side were not masonry, but a polymer material that the two had never seen.
Soon, an escalator-like structure appeared in front of the two of them, and judging by the garbage scattered on the ground and the closed roller shutters on both sides, this should be an underground shopping street?
Or something like that.
"Is this the ...... Remnants of a pre-war civilization? The ghost's tone became excited, he didn't expect to be able to do a big deal before the end of the world.
Feng Qing was obviously surprised by this astonishing discovery, and just held a flashlight to look around, and couldn't say a word for a long time with his mouth open.
The ghost walked to a roller shutter and tried to lift it, but found that the roller shutter was rusted to death, and gave up.
Taking two steps back and glancing at the nearby layout, she couldn't help but whisper.
"So the Willantes built a sewer on the ruins?"
Feng Qing thought for a while and said thoughtfully.
"Maybe it wasn't built by the Willantes...... This settlement didn't belong to the Willant people in the first place, did it? ”
The ghost was stunned.
"Seems to be."
Feng Qing walked over to the dusty escalator, glanced at the pitch-black circular hall below, and continued.
"Two centuries ago, the earliest survivors established a settlement on the ruins called the city of Avent, and they recovered everything they could, separating the underground facilities that could not be recovered with a fence to prevent xenomorphs from mixing in and nesting."
"It's been about half a century, maybe more than half a century...... The settlement was occupied by the Willantes. Most of the survivors living in Avent City were born in the Wasteland Age, and they have forgotten about the area that was sealed off by their parents and the memories of it. ”
"The Willantes, though they have inherited the legacy of the city of Avent, have not taken over what even the locals have forgotten. They have improved and expanded the original facilities, and the former new district has become an old town, and it has become a thing of the past. ”
Listening to Feng Qing's analysis, the ghost touched his chin and said.
"That explanation sounds weirdly plausible."
Feng Qing smiled embarrassedly and said humbly: "It's just a little guess on my part, it's not true." ”
"Whether it's true or not, it's true that this is a relic of the Age of Prosperity!"
Excitedly, the ghost took out the recon drone in his backpack and inserted the thumb-sized hard drive into his helmet.
Sync complete!
The field of view of the drone camera has already emerged on the tactical eyepiece of the helmet!
"Let's see what the old things of the Prosperous Era have left here!"
