With the completion of the guide to Vault 79, the official website of "Wasteland OL" has been updated with a lot of content.
This kind of gameplay, in which the game content advances simultaneously with the player's strategy progress, is a new experience for most players.
Although there are many open-world games, there are very few MMORPGs in which players' decisions can permanently affect the game world.
This feels like participating in the game while also participating in the development of the game.
One game, two fun, no charge, you can even make money!
This game is too conscientious!
However, even though the players' dog planning has been so conscientious and has updated a lot of things, the focus of players and cloud players on the forum today is still not him.
It’s not even about taking down the “World BOSS Kill” White Bear Knights and Death Corps.
But it was the warlord who picked up a "head" in the end...
"Wasteland OL" forum.
Battlefield Atmosphere Group: "Brothers!!! I'm back haha!"
Quit smoking: "Fuck! This shit finally bubbled up!"
Debt-eyed: "I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Mole on the run in the canyon: "I heard that you took the Deathclaw's head and went to the Taijun to ask for credit?"
Irena: "I also gave you ten beauties! (Funny)"
Elf King Fugui: "Real or fake?? (funny)"
Battlefield Atmosphere Group: "Ahem, first of all... of course this is true, but am I the kind of person who covets beauty? Obviously not!"
Debt-eyed: "I almost believed it!"
Kakarot: "Damn it, did you really give it to me?!"
Battlefield Atmosphere Team: "First of all, let me say that I didn't do anything. However, one thing to say is that our planning is still very kind. The game is very realistic and quite reasonable. It should be sold for only 99,999 when the public beta is launched. (Shy)"
Tyrannosaurus: "Huh?! Come on, buddy, my pocket money is only 10 yuan a week... I'm a student, can it be free? T.T"
What's wrong with me: "Laughing, no way, no way, there are still people relying on pocket money these days?? What can you do with that little money! My annual New Year's money alone is eight zero, let alone stock dividends, investment The income and other things, the bank interest is more than that! "
Irena: "The case has been solved. The reason why Brother Yeao was unable to qualify for the closed beta test has been found. (Funny)"
Battlefield Atmosphere Team: "Again, children should not play this game! Don't be ridiculous. Thanks to that Deathclaw's head, I am now a centurion, but now I only have ten soldiers... Are there any good brothers here to follow? I’m here to help with big things! (Baring teeth)”
Debt-eyed: "Me, me, me! Good brother, look at me!"
Lao Wang next door: "I'm coming!!!"
Kakarot: "Holy crap, spring water! I really want to surrender to the enemy!"
Commander Quan Shui: "Damn you, you idiot! Are you so unable to withstand the test?"
Ghost Hunting at the Grave: "What does it mean to be unable to withstand the test! I just want to... challenge my weakness. (Shy)"
Teng Teng: "You guys... are too dirty."
Crow: "┐(‘~`;)┌"
Although the players signed up quite enthusiastically, and even cloud players came to join in the fun, in the end, the Warlords only recruited about a hundred people.
As promised at the beginning, those who infiltrated the legion's "subordinate army" were all brothers of the Death Corps. They were best at using light weapons and cold weapons. The proficiency of the weapons was inversely proportional to the selling price.
After all, with such high battle losses, using high-tech equipment would be too much of a loss and not cost-effective at all. It would be better to have a rifle and an engineer shovel, and go back to the forum and wait for the reopening after death.
As for Edge Paddling, who was the commander of the corps, he didn't go with him.
A person with a strong sense of morality cannot be an undercover agent. He is self-aware of his own character, so he stayed in Vault 79.
What's more, he has other tasks.
The Alliance Army Command issued new instructions to him, hoping that he could combine the technology and resources of Vault 79 to develop tactics for collaborative operations between aliens and light infantry.
That is, the "Wolf Cavalry" plan!
The plan requires giving full play to the mobility of the alien species and the excellent independent combat capabilities of the Death Corps soldiers, and combining the two to create a light cavalry capable of "all-terrain assault operations"!
Although this sounds a bit whimsical, there might actually be a market in the wasteland.
Without reliable road and railway networks, flat tires and broken shoes are commonplace. If you are not careful, a crooked anti-tank tree can lift the front of the car.
Compared to wheeled and tracked vehicles, a parkour variant that can flexibly shuttle through high-density urban agglomerations and ruined forests is a more suitable choice.
Especially the Deathclaw.
As a "copycat" of the Creeper, the Deathclaw is so good that it's hard to find fault with in terms of mobility and battery life.
The only drawback is that I have a big appetite.
However, the food rations of alien species can be solved by hunting and eating the corpses of enemies. As long as they are not stationed for a long time, the pressure on logistics may not be as great as imagined.
The managers attached great importance to this plan. Not only did they allocate one hundred sets of neural connection equipment to him, they also named Goblin Technology to provide them with "technical support."
Although I felt that the latter was a bit redundant, Brother Mosquito was very excited after hearing about it, and even expressed his willingness to support their plan with his own money, so he didn't say anything.
…
Fallen Leaf Camp.
A group of ragged scavengers came in front of the door. These people were dressed in rags, carrying sticks and steel bars, and they were not registered.
There are not many survivors who took the initiative to come here. After all, working as dogs for the legion can at least stutter. However, this is the first time that they have come here in a group.
And more than twenty people came at one time.
When the patrolling sentry saw them, he stopped these people and looked up and down suspiciously.
"Where did you come from?"
"Bate Street!" The debtor with big eyes, leaning on a wooden stick, stumbled and replied, "My fellow countryman has become an official, and we are here to join him."
The sentry was stunned for a moment.
The recently promoted native seemed to be the Pangolin, and if he remembered correctly, that guy was promoted just the day before yesterday...
Did the news spread so quickly?
His eyes were full of suspicion. Just when the sentry was about to continue questioning, a man wearing a retinue's military uniform trotted all the way from the camp gate to here.
"They are my fellow villagers."
The sentry stared at him for a while, said nothing, and put away the rifle in his hand.
"Take them to register."
The Battlefield Atmosphere Group said in a pretentious tone.
"That's what I was going to do."
Although his identity is only an "indigenous", he is after all a centurion appointed by General McClun, and his status is still higher than that of ordinary soldiers.
Although the soldiers with swollen nose bridges looked down on him, they did not want to take the initiative to provoke him. As expected, they did not continue to make things difficult and turned around to continue patrolling.
Following the Battlefield Atmosphere Team into the Fallen Leaf Camp, all the players looked around curiously with expressions that they had never seen in the world.
"Damn it, the conditions here feel worse than the prisoner of war camp near Dawn City."
"More or less, we all let them build their own houses."
The debtor's big eyes rolled, he came over and asked slyly.
"By the way, Pangolin, where are your ten wives?"
Hearing these words, the Battlefield Atmosphere Team almost choked on his own spit, coughed and shouted back: "Get out of here, wife! I told you I didn't do anything bad... Later I asked them to help with the laundry. "
Hu Congjun will be issued two sets of linen military uniforms. They are either practicing or patrolling every day. If they don't change them, they will soon become worried.
He simply threw his clothes to them to wash, and found some work for them to do.
As for sleeping...
What do you say?
The main reason is that there is no fun in sleeping together. He goes offline as soon as he closes his eyes, and having a stranger next to him makes him feel insecure.
And he always feels like "OP" is watching the live broadcast.
However, in order to avoid some unfriendly rumors, he still placed the tents of the ten women next to his tent.
Just pretend he had slept.
After hastily ending the topic, Warfield asked urgently: "Stop staring at me and asking questions. I'll take you to get your dog tags later... By the way, have you decided on your stage name?"
Liability Big Eyes said excitedly: "My Big Eyes!"
The boy at the construction site and Brick followed up and said, "My name is Brick!"
Other players also reported their names one by one.
The battlefield atmosphere team had a headache and said: "...Damn, all the names you got are just random, there is no creativity at all."
The big-eyed debtor couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Come on, it doesn't sound much better than your pangolin!"
The construction site boy and Brick: "That's right! My name is easier to remember than yours!"
Lao Wang next door asked excitedly: "No nonsense, Dog Battlefield, where are we going to pick up human heads today?"
Warlander looked up at the sky.
"Let's have an afternoon. We made an appointment with Brother Quanshui last night to play a fake match... then we'll pick up a few heads and let you become a leader of ten."
Everyone looked at each other and smiled and said hehe.
"okay!"
…
After taking the good brothers to receive the "dog tags" and equipment, the warlord then took them to his subordinates and introduced them to Li Ba and other ten commanders of the retinue army.
From this moment on, they officially joined Hu Congjun's "Pangolin" Hundreds and became a glorious senior double agent of the alliance.
Many players are extremely excited about the new identity of the undercover agent.
Especially that afternoon, they ushered in their first mission after becoming undercover agents - following the warlord to patrol the West District!
Except for the NPCs, all the players knew what was about to happen and were ready to attack friendly forces.
After a long journey, the Pangolin Hundred finally arrived at the agreed upon location, and just as agreed upon, everyone was ambushed by the "Enterprise" team as expected.
Bullets were flying in the sky, so frightened that Li Ba and other puppet soldiers immediately fell to the ground, their heads glued to the ground and they did not dare to move.
But those people are different...
Not only did they not have any fear, they didn't even hide. They grabbed their guns and rushed forward. That beast-like fighting style actually drove away the company's guerrillas.
Li Ba, who was lying on the ground and watching, felt his head was buzzing.
Could it be that the company is actually very good?
He couldn't understand anymore.
Not to mention that he couldn't understand, the other ten captains were the same. They just lay down on the ground and shot out their faith randomly, and then they won.
"Damn...you guys look so good at acting." Looking at the friendly troops being beaten away, the warlord couldn't help but kick Big Eye's ass.
Big Eyes said with a confused look on his face.
"ah?"
"This is how we usually fight."
Warlander: "..."
When Colway arrived with his men to support him, the battle was over.
Looking at the company soldiers fleeing in embarrassment in the distance and several corpses dropped on the ground, a satisfied smile suddenly appeared on the officer's face.
Having been harassed by corporate guerrillas for so long.
This time I feel proud and proud!
Looking at the murderous puppet soldiers, Colwe narrowed his eyes slightly and said proudly to the adjutant beside him.
"We found a treasure!"
…
evening.
After returning to camp.
Colway walked up to the centurion named Pangolin, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said with satisfaction.
"Well done! The people in your village fought bravely. Our legion needs just such warriors... By the way, what is the name of that village?"
Warlander said with a loyal look on his face.
"Bate Street!"
Corvillo pondered.
"Bate Street...where is that settlement?"
Warlander said nonsense.
"At the junction of Jinchuan Province and Hehe Province, there is a mountainous area! There are many people in our village. Do you need me to call them here?"
A smile suddenly appeared on Colway's face.
"Okay! Call them all! Also, tell the people in your village that the Legion never skimps on rewarding the brave!"
"Starting from today, in addition to half a catty of potatoes, each of you will also receive a reward of 5 dinars!"
An excited expression suddenly appeared on the Warlander's face.
Isn't this what he was waiting for?
Standing at attention, he said immediately.
"Follow your orders! I'll have someone send you a message back right now!"
Potatoes and dinars are nothing.
The key is that he successfully gained the trust of these big noses!
In a few days, I can arrange for more good brothers to come in and accompany me as undercover agents!
…
Vault 79.
Riding Nico on day and night, Chu Guang and Heya finally arrived in the East District of Ruigu City and arrived at the Municipal Library at No. 79 Xiangling Street.
"My waist... is almost broken."
After climbing down from Nico's back, Heya, whose legs were so weak, could hardly stand still. She rested with her hands on the wall for a long time before she recovered.
Glancing at the weak female, Nicole grinned and snorted, as if she was mocking.
The intelligence of Deathclaws is close to that of human babies, but the ferocity of the beasts makes them difficult to tame like dogs.
However, technological means can solve this problem.
Chu Guang just glanced at it and let it put its head on the ground obediently, as docile as a husky that had just been beaten.
When Heya slowed down, Chu Guang led Nicole and walked in front, passing through the trash wall that had been blown down.
The entire library has been evacuated.
Including the collection of books inside.
After the local residents evacuated, the legionnaires seemed to have visited here, but found no one, set a fire and left.
I guess I didn't expect that all the residents were hiding underground, so the fire was set very perfunctorily, only burning the hall black and then extinguishing it hastily.
Chu Guang found the elevator hidden behind the bookshelf on the second floor, and took Nico and Heya underground. They walked along the underground bunker and soon saw the huge alloy gear.
The spacious buffer room and preparation room of Shelter No. 79 have become a camp for refugees to rest. The residents here are peeling the skin of death claws to make leather, and salting and preserving the prey sent by the players.
In exchange for helping to process the prey, the players gave them some supplies, including instant noodles, bottled water, and soap.
These three things are hard currency in any survivor settlement, and are even better than currency.
In short, with the help of the players, these survivors are not living a miserable life, at least much better than those in the Fallen Leaf Camp.
In order to avoid disturbing these poor people, Chu Guang tied Neeko to the entrance of the shelter, told it not to hurt anyone, and then took Heya through the gate of the shelter.
The player named "Sisi" was waiting at the door of the buffer room, and the tail, sesame paste and meat of the White Bear Knights were standing next to him.
After seeing the azure power armor, she bowed slightly respectfully like those players who were deeply immersed in the game.
"Dear Administrator, we have obtained the permission for Shelter No. 79."
Looking at the girl in front of him, Chu Guang nodded approvingly.
"You did a great job. Thanks to your efforts, we have taken another big step towards the revival of civilization."
Sisi smiled and was about to say something to gain favor, but the tail standing beside him suddenly cleared his throat and interrupted the topic with a strong voice.
"You're welcome. It's an honor for the White Bear Knights to serve you! As a reward for the mission... we can reward ten maids in maid costumes---woo-woo!"
"I'm sorry, my partner accidentally injured his head in the battle with the 'Yong family'..." Glancing at the tail struggling in the belly of the meat, Sisi looked at Chu Guang again with a little apology and continued, "Please forgive her rudeness."
Although he knew that there was nothing wrong with the guy's head, it was just that the players were not serious in their daily lives, but in order to take care of the players' sense of substitution, Chu Guang still followed the character setting and made a caring expression.
"Is she really okay?"
"It's okay, we'll take her to the hospital..." Sisi nodded quickly, and suddenly remembered that she seemed to have forgotten something important, and quickly lifted the VM, "By the way, hand in the task... I'll transfer the administrator's permission to you."
The tasks of Shelter No. 79 have been completed so far, and the rewards of hundreds of thousands of silver coins and huge contribution points have made everyone in the White Bear Knights jump up excitedly.
Including the little girl whose head was injured by the claws of death.
After taking back the administrator's permission from Sisi, Chu Guang noticed that the relevant entries of Shelter No. 79 had been updated in his shelter system.
With the help of his assistant Xiaoqi, he can now control every building and every room in the entire underground city - and the life and death of every life living here.
Searching the various facilities of the shelter, Chu Guang found a lot of interesting things.
For example, in the equipment warehouse directly below the central research area, there are 500 sets of Type 5 "Light Cavalry" police exoskeletons, 50 sets of Type 6 "Heavy Cavalry", and a large number of police riot control equipment.
These equipments are almost 90% new, including the small reconnaissance drones, most of which have never been used, and I think there is no chance to use them.
In addition, there are a large number of professional experimental equipment stored in the central research area, as well as twelve "black boxes" with different functions!
Now, these treasures belong to the alliance.
Later, Chu Guang will arrange for logistics personnel to collect them.
Before that, he plans to visit the original owner here.
The mother of the death claw.
Or in other words, the big-horned deer god praised by countless nomads and wastelanders...
...
There were footsteps in the room, and the mother of the death claw, who was dozing with her eyes closed, raised her eyelids slightly and looked at the light flickering in the darkness.
The amber pupils shrank slightly, and it only took a glance at the azure power armor and guessed the identity of this person.
"...Are you the manager of Shelter No. 404?"
"Chu Guang." After introducing himself concisely, Chu Guang looked it up and down.
This guy is even bigger than the "Yong family", no wonder it is trapped here and can't move.
"Chu Guang..."
Muttering this name softly, Mother Deathclaw stared at him for a while and slowly spoke.
"This is the first time I've heard of the number 404... Can you tell me what your shelter is planning?"
"I don't know."
"Don't know?"
The amber pupils shrank slightly, and there was obvious surprise in Mother Deathclaw's voice, obviously surprised by this answer.
Chu Guang: "I only know that my mission is to rebuild my home on the surface with my residents... Aren't all the shelters with three-digit numbers like this?"
Including Shelter No. 117 and Shelter No. 401.
Chu Guang has read their manager's log. Although there are some additional tasks in it, the main work is basically centered around the grand theme of rebuilding civilization.
On the contrary, shelter facilities like Shelter No. 79 that were born for research are rare.
"Is that so..."
Mother Deathclaw pondered for a long time, and suddenly sighed softly.
Although its obsidian-like facial features did not reveal much emotional change, Chu Guang unexpectedly heard a hint of relief in its sigh.
"My mentor... who was the first generation manager here, told me before he died that the failure of Plan 79 was actually part of the calculation, but even if we did not succeed, our sacrifices were not worthless... All shelters will eventually end in destruction, but green shoots will eventually sprout from the rotting corpses.”
Chu Guang asked the only confusion in his heart.
"Is the experimental goal of Vault 79 really to cultivate an immortal emperor?"
He had been curious about this when following up on players' strategies before.
As if she expected him to ask this question, the Deathclaw Mother who was lying on the ground grinned.
"Yes and no..."
"Since we know very well the unreliability of human nature, how could we not predict what happened today? Of course... I only figured this out now."
"Most of the researchers who participated in the experiment were only told that we would cultivate an immortal emperor who would accompany our civilization through the dark years and return everything to his people after the end... However, That’s not all Plan 79 is about.”
"The unmentioned part of the experiment log is that when the Emperor's soul begins to decay, when he is consumed by arrogance, when he refuses to fulfill his mission, those loyal to him will make choices for him. He ends with the dark feudal era and finally completes the closed loop of history... and the fire of civilization will be rekindled in this wasteland. "
"I once asked my mentor in confusion, what is the point of doing this? Why don't we teach advanced theories and technologies to our residents from the beginning? However, his answer was that both theory and science can be acquired through learning. , but courage cannot.”
"This may sound ridiculous, and I've been thinking about it for a century without figuring out the use of that kind of thing. But after seeing you and your residents, my confusion was answered."
"Even if our home is in ruins, even if our glory is forgotten by future generations, as long as they are brave...sooner or later they will get back everything we have lost."
"There is no doubt that you are the most suitable successors... I also hope that you will inherit not only our property, but also our lessons."
Chu Guang nodded slowly.
"I think that's part of your legacy, and when this is all over, I'll give it to a museum."
The aging giant smiled faintly and lowered its rotten wood-like eyelids.
"Yeah……"
"Thank you."
-
(Thanks to the leaders of "Vera 0205", "Subi Qinghua", "Sighing Shengge", and "Pianyi Eagle" for the reward!!!)
