Chapter 386 Wait Until I Go to the Forum to Shake People (1/2)

Vault 79——

Or rather Underground City No. 79.

The flashing light from the muzzle moved from the entrance of the shelter along the wide corridor towards the nearest building.

The lift has fallen into disrepair and can only be moved via a stairway to a safe passage.

The corridors hundreds of meters high are covered with moss, and the most deadly thing is the mutated creatures that shuttle through the corridors.

It's not just a certain building.

Every building here is the same.

Fortunately, they don't have to fight all the way from the top floor to the ground. They can move along the overpass between the buildings.

The manager named Yongshi has already planned the nearest action route for them and downloaded it to the vm. It is enough to just move forward along the set path.

But even so, it is not easy to "clear the level".

Even if they don't take the initiative to find trouble with those alien species, the alien species will take the initiative to find them.

"I giao! What on earth are these guys?!"

Seeing the multi-legged alien race running towards him, Tail, who was riding on Rourou's back, was startled. He held the machine gun with both hands and his index finger was digging into the trigger.

The orange-yellow ballistics instantly tore the alien species apart, but more quickly rushed forward.

Rourou roared, and the bear claws inlaid with steel armor were violently shot out, instantly sending the two charging monsters flying away and falling into the abyss outside the corridor.

Sisi and Sesame held rifles in their hands to make up for the gap in firepower.

The bullet casings thrown from the gun barrel hit the alloy floor one after another. The clanging sound was completely covered by the explosion of gunfire. In just a few breaths, the three of them had fired hundreds of bullets.

Fortunately, this game does not have an infinite monster spawning mechanism.

Facing the overwhelming firepower of the White Bear Knights, the surging offensive finally weakened.

The group of people finally broke through the alien siege and broke into the building at the end of the corridor.

The space here is wide, with enough for three or four basketball courts. Directly opposite the semi-curved front desk are rows of seats. I think this place must have been a registration office or a similar place.

The trap door slammed shut.

With his back against the cold metal door, Sis put the rifle aside, took a deep breath and slowly sat on the ground.

Her face was slightly pale, and her chest was rising and falling gently.

The sesame paste standing next to her was also breathing calmly, and his index finger hooked the collar that was stuck to his neck with sweat and loosened it.

"It's a spider..."

"Well..." Sisi took a breath and nodded his head, "Although it is reasonable for arthropods to be more adaptable in narrow terrain... but if possible, I really don't want to deal with this kind of thing. Son."

From the entrance to the shelter to the current location, they have made about 3% progress.

First, they eliminated two "saber-toothed tigers", and then faced a group of large wolf spiders that were as high as their waists.

The death claws were not facing each other for the time being, but they saw one through the bulletproof glass.

The size of the Death Claw is not very large, but it is still a bit larger than Jun Jun.

"Huh? Si is actually afraid of spiders!" Taili looked over with sparkling eyes as if he had discovered a new world.

Si Si looked away with a subtle expression.

"...Actually, it's okay. If it's just an arthropod, it's fine. But if it's an arthropod and it's furry... I can't stand it."

It would be great if a gaming helmet could block this feeling too.

pity……

Games in closed beta testing cannot always be expected to be as perfect as officially released games.

"hey-hey."

"...You can't play pranks, Owei."

"No, is Tails that kind of person?"

"emmm..."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu My Si actually hesitated!"

A smile appeared on Sisi's face, and he was about to say something, but at this moment, a soft creaking sound suddenly came from the distance.

It's like stepping on dust on the ground.

Sisi was alert and immediately reached for the rifle, but three piercing sounds sounded almost at the same time.

There were only three whooshing sounds, and before she could get up from the ground, she let out a muffled grunt. She fell to the side and pulled the trigger in the direction of the sound.

The thunderous sound of gunfire echoed in the empty room.

At the same time, Taili and Sesame Paste reacted quickly, nimbly dodged the flying arrows, raised their guns and fired back at the uninvited guests outside the window.

Piercing screams soon came.

Those who were shooting arrows were frightened by the fire-breathing stick. They screamed and fled in all directions under the cover of walls, chairs, and counters.

"people……?!"

Seeing the face in the darkness clearly, a surprised expression appeared in Si Si's eyes.

However, what these people speak is not Renlianyu.

Or to be more precise, it wasn't like language at all, but more like the roar of a wild beast.

Looking at Sisi lying on the ground, Taili rushed over immediately, with worry written on his face.

"Si! Are you okay?!"

"fine……"

Two arrows hit his chest, but with the body armor blocking it, he barely felt anything.

What's more troublesome is that the one inserted on the shoulder...

Si Si reached out and grasped the arrow shaft, moved it slightly, and soon gave up on pulling it out, instead breaking it in the middle.

Seeing Sisi standing up from the ground with a rifle, Sesame said worriedly.

"...How about we retreat first."

It's not like this shelter can be conquered in one day.

Tails and Rourou also nodded one after another.

"Tails thinks so too!"

"+1."

"Well, anyway, let's go back to the entrance of the shelter first..." Looking at his worried friends, Sisi nodded.

At this time, her eyes suddenly fell on the body that had been shot and fell to the ground.

With a thought in her heart, she walked forward and knelt down to observe.

The man was wearing clothes made of leaves and rattan. His skin was pale and sickly white, as if he hadn't seen the sun for a long time. His eye sockets are dark red and his pupils are bloodshot. His facial features are similar to those of humans, but his arms are slightly longer and his nails are sharp.

Sisi frowned slightly and stretched out his index finger across the man's chest. After groping carefully for a while, he took his hand back.

"Did you find anything?" Rourou, who was following her, moved forward curiously.

"...26 ribs."

"26 ribs?" Tai Tai looked confused.

"Normal people have 24... This guy shouldn't be human, at least not the same type as us," Sisi stood up from the ground, clapped his hands and said, "Let's take one back and study it."

…

The group of people returned along the original path and came to the previous door connected to the shelter, a room overlooking the entire underground city.

The old radio was placed at the entrance of the room.

Sesame Paste walked forward and picked it up.

Apparently he had seen the battle just now, and a compliment came from the radio.

"Yes, you are stronger than I thought."

"It seems I didn't make a mistake."

Hearing this sentence, Sesame paste showed a shy smile... Although she only understood roughly, she could vaguely feel the tone of appreciation in that sentence.

As for the tail, he was not so modest, and raised the corners of his mouth happily.

"Oh! The tail is amazing!"

"Haha, it's awesome, but you have to work harder..." Happy laughter came from the radio, but the voice sounded somewhat meaningful.

Si Si suddenly spoke.

"Why is there anyone inside?"

The radio replied nonchalantly.

"They are just savages who have degenerated into animals...Don't worry about them, you can treat them as monkeys."

After a pause, it changed the subject without leaving any trace.

"It's getting late...Compared to those savages, I suggest you deal with the wounds on your body as soon as possible."

It's almost evening in the game.

Unknowingly, they stayed in Vault 79 for a whole day.

The milky white light shining from the dome is slowly converging, and the underground city outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is gradually being swallowed up by darkness.

It seems that there is not only a steel jungle here, but also the changing of the sun and the moon.

If the fortress had not fallen...

"...If the world is ending, it feels good to live in a place like this." Standing at the door of the buffer room, Sesame paste suddenly said with emotion while looking at the floor-to-ceiling window behind him.

"Um."

"Why do you think people here are running away?"

"Who knows, maybe I'm too full."

Sisi said nonchalantly, but from the corner of his eye, he glanced at the radio in Sesame Mu's arms.

She always felt that this matter was not that simple.

After thinking for a moment, Sisi said in human couplet.

"This is not an option. We don't have enough manpower... Do you mind if we call in more people?"

The radio replied nonchalantly.

"I don't mind, there's nothing to worry about."

He wished that more people could help.

However, what he understood by "calling more people" was obviously not the same as what Si Si wanted to express.

The corner of his mouth turned up into a smile. Sis continued.

"I can rest assured that."

…

The elevator moves upward slowly.

Stopped on the second floor of Zuigu Municipal Library.

After walking through the rows of bookshelves to the door, Si Si reached out and opened the door, only to see Wu Tao, the mayor of Xiangling Street, leading several strong survivors, waiting at the door.

The weapons they hold in their hands can be said to be diverse, including iron-pipe rifles, hoes, hatchets and meat-cutting knives.

When Si Si and Sesame Paste went back to call their teammates, they didn't go back empty-handed. Instead, they killed the tiger with its teeth turned out at the door and carried it back.

The survivors in Xiangling Town were frightened when they saw the hateful-looking alien being carried out of the room on the second floor of the library.

Compared with the tiger whose teeth are longer than daggers, the big white bear named Rourou is simply handsome and naive.

When Sisi offered to help them get rid of the alien species underground in the library, the local residents no longer excluded them from entering the settlement, and even took the initiative to help them make a stronger ladder, allowing Rourou to climb out of the wall. Come in.

Before Sisi could speak, Wu Tao, who was standing at the door, hurriedly asked.

"How's the situation down there?"

Sisi said with a serious face.

"It's terrible! There is a nest of alien species under your feet!"

"Alien lair?!"

The air was quiet.

A trace of fear gradually appeared on Wu Tao's face.

Including the people behind him, everyone had panic on their faces, and they exchanged doubtful looks with each other.

"And it's not just alien species, there's also a group of... savages who can't communicate at all. We brought back a body, right over there."

As she spoke, she glanced behind her and signaled Rourou to place the body they brought out from Vault 79 on the ground.

Staring straight at the dead body on the ground, Wu Tao swallowed hard, then moved his eyes to her shoulders.

There was a broken arrow stuck there.

"Your injury..."

"Don't worry, I'm planning to deal with it..." Sisi continued with a calm expression, "Vault 79 has been occupied, but we can't just leave it there. We will clean up the monsters below, and we may have to stay here again. A few days ago.”

There are many entrances to Vault 79, but most of them are in disrepair.

She and Tails had explored below before, and currently the only accessible entrance was the elevator on the second floor of the library.

Upon hearing this, Wu Tao nodded quickly without any hesitation.

"It doesn't matter, you can stay as long as you want!"

A happy smile appeared on Sisi's face.

"Well, don't worry. With us here, those alien species can't hurt you."

After a pause, she continued.

"However, our strength alone may not be enough. Our companions will be here to help us in a few days... Can you prepare a few more rooms for us?"

Wu Tao was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly.

"How many...are you there?"

"About thirty or forty?"

Maybe one or two hundred.

Sisi gave a conservative number, mainly because she was not sure how many people could be called.

However, even so, after hearing this number, Wu Tao, standing in front of her, still had a surprised expression on his face.

"...Are you a mercenary group?"

Then, he added in a low voice alertly.

"We can't afford to pay."

Sisi smiled.

"It doesn't matter, we don't charge you."

No charge?

Is there such a good thing? !

Upon hearing her words, the faces of the residents surrounding the door showed expressions of surprise, suspicion, and even disbelief.

The expression on Wu Tao's face was equally wonderful, but he couldn't think of any reason for rejection, let alone what these people were after.

After exchanging glances with the survivors around him and discussing in a low voice, he finally looked at Si Si and nodded slowly.

"We can lend you the second floor, and we will move the books to the room on the third floor. I'll just trouble you here..."

…

"Wasteland OL" official website.

Every day during the peak offline period, the forum is bustling with activity.

Especially these days.

As battle reports from the frontline and information about new maps are released one after another, the enthusiasm of players for discussion is getting higher day by day.

At this moment, a special post suddenly appeared.

Si Si: "We are looking for a team member for the No. 79 Sanctuary Reconnaissance Team! The requirement is LV10 or above, and there is no equipment limit. Anyone who is interested can speed up!"

Edge paddling: "Me me me!"

Debt-eyed: "Raise your hands!"

Lao Wang next door: "Wait a minute, shelter No. 79 is in Ruigu City, right!? It's a hundred and fifty kilometers away in a straight line... This is too far."

Sisi: "You won't parachute at a position of about 120 kilometers."

Lao Wang next door: "Damn it, yes, you can fly there!"

Aoao Sesame Paste: "Well, if you plan to parachute here, can you help us bring some ammunition? Our ammunition is a little weak... Please everyone. QAQ"

Fang Chang: "Although I probably won't be able to spare the time to go there, I still want to say a few words. It would be better to discuss the issue of profit distribution before starting the group."

Sisi: "Oh, don't worry, we have already considered this! Since the level income and clearance cycle are uncertain, we plan to give each player who joins the group a fixed income of 10 silver coins per level. To put it simply, LV12 follows the car for one day 120 silver coins. You need to take care of the weapons yourself, and we can reimburse you for the death penalty. 20% of the final profit from the copy will be used as a bonus, which will be distributed to all players in the group according to their progress contribution!”

Mole on the run in the canyon: "...Awesome, aren't you worried about losing money?"

Quit smoking: "Damn it! Rich woman!"

Sisi: "I'm sorry to disappoint you. (´ｰ∀ｰ`)"

Chu Guang was dragging his mouse to browse the posts, sitting in the shelter and looking at the screen with an interested expression on his face.

"There's something."

According to the numerical system he designed, if a LV10 player chooses a task with a moderate risk level, the income from a day's task will be in the range of 80 to 100 silver coins.

The daily salary of 10 silver coins per level can be said to be relatively reasonable, and there should be many players between LV10 and LV15 interested.

As for losing money?

From a player's perspective, there is indeed such a risk.

But as the tyrant of the players, how could Chu Guang let his hard-working little players suffer?

When the level is completed, he will calculate a relatively reasonable income based on their total expenses and level difficulty, and pay them a reward that will make other players envious without affecting the balance.

As for myself, I don't even need to worry about the specific strategy. I can "buy" a shelter for free by just moving my mouse and keyboard.

Thinking of this, Chu Guang couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

He is worthy of the players he brought out.

Not only can he lead troops to fight for him, but he can also open up new strongholds for him, and he doesn't even need to worry about the initial investment.

Really don’t poke it.

…

Just when Si Si was shaking people on the forum, on the second floor of the Ruigu City Municipal Library, the room where the elevator was located had been evacuated due to the busy work of the survivors in Xiangling Town.

All the bookshelves and books have been moved to the third floor, leaving only the bare floor and the luggage brought by the White Bear Knights.

Maybe it's for the sake of the serum, maybe it's because of the safety of those books.

The manager named "Yong Shi" said nothing and acquiesced to their behavior of transforming the elevator entrance into a temporary camp.

The night is getting darker.

Sisi and Sesame Paste, who were huddled in sleeping bags, were already offline, while Taiyi and Rourou were sitting next to the two sleeping bags, watching over the first half of the night.

There was nothing to do, and the restless Tails had already yawned out of boredom, but Rourou sitting next to him was still very energetic, stretching his inconspicuous neck and looking around.

"By the way, what are Rourou looking at?" Seeing that she was always looking around, Taitail looked over curiously and asked.

"Well, it's nothing, I just care a little bit," Rourou muttered in a low voice, "By the way... there is the manager's camera in this room, right?"

"Yes, did you just know?"

"I don't know it just now, but I feel that doesn't it mean... that he was watching while we were sleeping?"

Tails looked at Rourou in surprise.

"I giao! When you say that, I suddenly feel so changed!"

Rourou couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Don't make it sound like I'm the mutt... Don't you think it's weird? There's a camera next to me when I'm sleeping."

Tails held his chin and thought about this question seriously for a while, then nodded and said.

"Hmm... It would be really weird if it were in reality, but this is a game, right? And we don't change clothes here."

If I have to say it, the entire "Wasteland OL" is full of operational "cameras", right? And the onlookers are not NPCs, but real-life programmers and siege lions.

Otherwise, how does Dog Planning improve the game content through the game behavior of closed beta players?

Thinking of this, Tai Tai's expression suddenly changed slightly.

etc!

if it is like this……

Couldn’t it be that Planner Dog heard all those strange songs she sang while taking a bath? !

"Giao!"

Looking at Tail, whose face suddenly turned red, Rourou sitting beside him was stunned for a moment.

"What’s wrong with you……"

This was the first time she saw this guy blush.

And it was still red all the way from the face to the roots of the ears.

"No...nothing."

The twitching brows and forced smile are as stiff as possible, and the knees rub against each other uneasily. No matter from any angle, it doesn't look like anything is wrong.

Just when Rourou was curious and wanted to continue asking, there was suddenly a loud "boom" outside the window, and the floor and walls were shaking.

The awkward atmosphere disappeared in an instant.

One person and one bear reflexively jumped up from the ground.

"South! The sound came from the south... The field of view here is too narrow, I can't see anything!"

Rourou approached the boarded up window and tried to take a look outside through the gap in the window, but was helplessly blocked by the plants and buildings outside the house.

Looking at Rourou lying completely on the window, Tails said immediately.

"Routou! You stay here and watch over Sisi and Sesame Paste. I'll go upstairs and take a look!"

"Got it!" Rourou replied immediately.

There was an angry roar in the distance, disturbed by the sound of cannons, and the death claw outside seemed to be going crazy and was killing people.

Gunshots rang out.

Grabbing the tail of the rifle, he quickly rushed out the door and ran up to the third floor, just in time to bump into Wu Tao, who was rushing in.

He carried a shotgun on his back, and his eyes were full of panic.

He grabbed him by the tail and spoke in non-standard couplets, syllable by syllable.

"What happened outside?"

"Army, legion!"

The hunter, who had just been the mayor for a few days, exclaimed in a stammering voice and incoherently, "Those soldiers in black robes! They are back again!"
