Chapter 141 Salute to You! Residents of Vault 404 (1/2)

Luo Hua and Ai Si continued to build the barracks, but the players around them were impatient to wait and whispered to each other impatiently.

"The movements of these NPCs are too slow!"

"That's right! Why is it so hard to build a shed?"

"Can't you just set up a table and get things done first? You don't know how to work around it!"

"How long will it take for these NPCs to take up their posts? Can you give me a progress bar? I'll see if I need to chop down two trees first."

"It's too slow! I can't stand it anymore. I want to open a new map. I want to move bricks on the new map!"

If Luo Hua and Ai Si knew that the residents of these shelters were complaining about their inefficiency, they didn't know what kind of expressions they would show.

Happy?

After all, people are anxious to get to work.

Speechless?

It's not without reason, after all, no one likes to be rushed.

But the two of them couldn't understand.

Just like the surrounding players couldn't understand, the NPC named Luo Hua was chattering away.

"Don't these blue coats have anything else to do except watch the fun? Why don't you come up and help us if you are so free?"

Ace: "..."

Luo Hua: "Speaking of which, what should we eat for lunch?"

Ace: "Freeze-dried food."

Luo Hua: "Hey, okay, I guessed it was freeze-dried food. When I think of those people sitting in an air-conditioned room drinking hot cocoa and playing poker, while I have to chat with a group of blue coats, I just want to ask Is this reasonable? I’d rather not get the 50CR daily subsidy! What’s the use of this damn money? How many times do the natives not want this waste paper?”

Ace: "..."

Perhaps realizing that he was a little annoyed, Luo Hua sighed.

"Okay... I admit that I talk a bit too much, let's get to work quickly."

Ace: "I agree."

While it's not snowing now, we need to shore up the barracks first.

Taking out the folding stand from the box that Aisi carried earlier, Luo Hua carefully marked four points on the ground with the help of a protractor, inserted the stand securely, and then surrounded the four walls with plastic sheets.

The framework of a model house just came out.

Of course, this is not over yet.

Luo Hua then used a marker and ruler to draw doors and windows on the plastic film. Aisi on the side held a metal can with a nozzle and sprayed gray foam on the transparent plastic film.

These foams are very light, highly adhesive, fine and even in texture, with no pores visible to the naked eye, and a matte texture on the surface.

Luo Hua took out a folding spatula and skillfully spread the foam sprayed on the plastic film evenly.

The whole job looks as easy as spreading butter on plastic wrap.

A layer of light gray foam was quickly applied to the plastic film. After it completely solidified, the color of the foam gradually darkened, and the whole became a foam wall that looked no different from concrete.

Of course, it just looks like it.

If you touch it with your hands, there is a big difference in texture between polymer materials and silicate materials.

[Leave a Person under the Knife] standing aside, his eyes were straight, and he kept talking.

"What the hell? What kind of material is this? Polyurethane? It doesn't look like it... Just spray it on the plastic film? Can this thing be used as an exterior wall?"

Ye Shi said with a playful smile: "Be more imaginative. The background setting is in the future. Is it weird to build a house with foam?"

Liu Ren held it in under the knife for a while, and finally convinced himself.

"That's right, it's a game after all."

As a game setting, it’s not unacceptable.

The first foam wall was completed quickly, and the second wall followed the same pattern. When the two NPCs completed the construction of the second wall, the first wall was completely dry.

In less than 30 minutes, a windproof, rainproof and warm mobile barracks was completed.

Although the shelf life is less than one year and the quality is not as reliable as the serious "silicate materials", it is completely sufficient as a temporary facility!

Chu Guang, who was standing on the third floor of the nursing home, looked at him with envy.

These guys really have a lot of good stuff.

I have to find a way to do something...

At this time, old Luka, who came back from outside, walked towards the guests who had come from afar and handed Luo Hua a VM.

Luo Hua gave the old man a strange look and did not reach out to pick it up.

"We don't bring this stuff."

Old Luka said respectfully.

"This is what the administrator ordered me to send to you. It can help you have some simple communication with the residents of these shelters."

Only then did he remember the language barrier, so Luo Hua stopped refusing and took the VM from Luka.

"OK, thanks."

Luka nodded slightly.

"You're welcome."

…

After the barracks were built, two signs, one large and one small, were put up at the door, which read in Chinese characters "Pioneer Office at Outpost No. 404" and "Volunteer Registration Office".

That's right.

These words were written by Chu Guang and they looked quite neat.

At the same time, almost all players near the outpost received a message reminder on their VM, and players without VM also heard the broadcast echoing in the base.

[Server Announcement: Quartermaster NPC is now online! A new building has been added to the outpost - the "Pioneer" office in Outpost 404! 】

[Quartermaster Luo Hua: Dear residents of Vault 404, I salute you! I'm the quartermaster from the Pioneer, and we're having a little trouble with our land-based fortress. This may be a presumptuous request, but we need you! 】

[Tip 1: The quartermaster from the Pioneer seems to be troubled. An exclamation mark appears on the map. Go and talk to him quickly. 】

[Tip 2: The VM character page is now updated with activity scores exclusive to the expansion pack. Go to the new area and perform tasks to get activity scores! For characters without VM, you can check the scores at NPC Luka or administrator assistant Xiaoqi, or you can log in to the official website after going offline to check! 】

A human wall was formed around the door of the barracks.

Almost as soon as they received the announcement, the players ran so fast that they almost overturned the table at the door.

"Me me me! Tails want to sign up!"

"Choose me! I'm a power type! I'm great at moving bricks!"

"Gan! You have so much energy to move bricks! Stop squeezing, I'm going to die!"

"How can we squeeze in?" Crow Crow, who couldn't squeeze through, stood on the edge of the crowd and stamped her feet anxiously. She stood on her toes and looked inside. She felt desperate at this look.

The collision volume in this game is so annoying!

It would be nice if I could pass through other players like other MMORPGs.

"Give it up," Teng Teng looked up at her and sighed, looking at the sky. "This feels like an Internet celebrity milk tea shop suddenly opened downstairs. Anyway, I can never make it, so it's better to wait. Try them when they’re cold.”

Crow Crow suddenly came to his senses.

"It makes sense... Anyway, it rotates every three days, so we can still wait for the first wave of players' strategies."

Teng Teng nodded in agreement.

"Yes?"

Unexpectedly, the residents here were so enthusiastic. Luo Hua, who was in charge of the registration list, was caught off guard for a while.

Aisi, who was standing next to him, was also stunned.

She actually saw a bear in the crowd?

And it’s a white bear.

"...Why is there a bear?"

Luo Hua, who was sweating profusely, couldn't care about this. He only took pictures with his tablet to register, and hurriedly issued numbered work badges to people.

"Who knows, it's probably their pet... Come and help me!"

Ace: "..."

This was the first time she had seen such a well-behaved bear, and it looked so furry.

Well.

Kind of like RUA.

There was chaos at the door of the office.

Fortunately, the manager had anticipated this situation in advance and sent a helper over to assist him in completing the registration work.

After completing the personnel registration.

Luo Hua set up a cauldron and antenna on the barracks. After a brief debugging, he finally received the contact signal from the Pioneer.

The voice of a colleague from the logistics department came over the radio.

"...How is the situation over there?"

Luo Hua: "It went very smoothly, beyond my imagination! These blue-coated people were so enthusiastic. As soon as our office opened, they all came in droves... To be honest, I was a little touched. To think that there is such a group of kind people living in a remote inland area!”

There was silence on the communication channel for a while.

Li De coughed dryly and continued.

"...It's quite surprising."

Luo Hua: "Forget about my side, how long will it take for your side to arrive? Judging from their looks, they can't wait."

Li De: "We are almost there. Our captain is still 2 kilometers away from you."

Luo Hua: "Captain?"

Li De: "Yes, he personally led the team to escort our reinforcements."

…

Leaning his shoulder against the door of the weapons store and biting a piece of frozen foxtail grass in his mouth, Xia Yan looked at the bustle at the entrance of the office from a distance.

Today, no players came to bother her. They all went to queue up for the new "NPC".

After working here for so long, she has accepted the identity of "NPC".

However, occasionally she would be confused by this identity, because Chu Guang always emphasized the difference between NPCs and players, and said that NPCs rarely call themselves NPCs, just like players rarely call themselves players.

So what does this identity mean?

This role play is really weird.

At this time, Chu Guang walked towards her direction holding a long spindle-shaped weapon.

"I need you to help me make something. This is a sample. The material should be tungsten steel or other metals with a higher melting point. The rest can be copied in a one-to-one ratio."

"Okay, I'll help you take a look later."

Reaching out to take the strange-looking shuttle, Xia Yan looked at Chu Guang's exoskeleton curiously and asked, "Where did you get this exoskeleton?"

Seeing that someone finally noticed the difference between him and yesterday, a smile appeared on Chu Guang's face.

"Handsome."

"It's not bad," Xia Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly when he saw this guy's stinky fart, "So where did you get it from?"

"Picked it up."

Xia Yan: "..."

Chu Guang smiled and said, "Just kidding, I found it in the shelter."

Xia Yan looked helpless and said, "I'm just asking casually. If it's not convenient for you to answer, forget it. Speaking of which, how do you get along with people in the company?"

"They came yesterday and helped us deal with the mutants on Street 76... Are there any problems?"

Sensing Xia Yan's strange expression, Chu Guang couldn't help but cast a questioning look at her.

"No, I just find it a bit incredible," Xia Yan looked at the two people not far away with an intriguing expression, "A long, long time ago, the company's expeditionary force came to Qingquan City."

"Expedition?"

"Yes, but that was all a long time ago. And I heard that the 'Enterprise' is very big, and there are so many internal factions, gathered along the east coast. I heard that they were not called the Enterprise at first, but because they often changed their vests, others called them I simply called them the name "Enterprise". Later, they may have gotten used to it, or they may have started to call themselves "Enterprise" because they felt that this vest was the most famous."

Chu Guang looked at her in surprise.

"You still know this?"

Xia Yan said nonchalantly: "This is not a secret, but the expeditionary force is a bit old. I wasn't even born at that time."

Chu Guang: "Then do you know what they are here to do?"

"What else can we do? They said it was an expeditionary force, so it must be a war?" Xia Yan gave him a strange look, "Anyway, I only heard that they lost in the end. After that, it was difficult to see their people in the entire Qingquan City. , but we can often see their caravans coming to do business.”

It seems that the folk customs in Qingquan City are quite strong.

But think about it, with thousands of kilometers of straight-line distance and tens of thousands of kilometers of supply lines, it would be crazy if we don't lose.

After hearing some interesting information, Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, I'll talk to you when I get back. I plan to go out. If anything happens, please contact Xiaoqi and he can find me."

Xia Yan: "Where are you going? What kind of fortress is that?"

"What are you going there for?" Chu Guang glanced at the map on the VM and set a coordinate on it. "There is a signal tower on Street 76. It should be near the mutant's lair. I plan to go there to look for it. , see if it can be fixed.”

Luka was helping to watch over the Pioneer, so there was no need for Chu Guang to go in person. His players are his eyes, and what they see is naturally shared on the forum.

The top priority now is to repair the signal tower.

After repairing the signal tower, the communication radius of Shelter 404 can cover at least the entire northern suburbs of Qingquan City, and the range of drone activities will be further expanded.

By then, whether it is sending tasks to players or peeking at his little players, it will be much more convenient than now.

"You'd better pay attention to your safety. How about bringing two people with you?"

This was definitely not out of concern, Xia Yan was simply worried that she would lose this meal ticket.

Not even her father, who died who knows where, never raised her like this. It no longer mattered whether he was a devil or not. She now felt that devils were pretty good too.

"makes sense."

Chu Guang thought about it and thought it made sense.

However, players are now focused on the expansion pack, and may not be interested in doing ordinary tasks.

But Chu Guang was not in a hurry, it would only take a while anyway.

There are currently 250 players in the server, and his contract with Captain Lu Yang only promised to send 200 workers. And this also means that no matter how hard you try, there will definitely be 50 young players who are not qualified, beating their chests, and heartbroken.

As a manager with high emotional intelligence, Chu Guang felt that he needed to comfort them who were hurt inside.

Um.

When the time comes, pick two high-quality human cannon fodder and follow you for a walk near the mutant's lair.
