Chapter 479 It’s so Unjust to Miss the Gold Coins in the Pockets of Old Friends (1/2)
If it was Professor Yang's post, probably few people would believe it.
But those at the top of the rankings are different.
Seeing that he had quit smoking and was leaning down the stairs, Ye Shi quickly clarified.
"Ahem, it's not that...even though we captured a few E-class personnel, we didn't meet anyone who came to intercept us along the way."
Fang Chang: "It seems they don't want to make things worse."
Commander Quan Shui: "After all, we shot down an enterprise plane, and neither side probably wants to admit it."
Quit smoking: "Wait, here's the question, where's that plane? Have you fixed it?"
Ye Shi: "I was just about to say this! One engine of the plane was broken, but the other engine was still good. I thought it would be too wasteful to throw it away. I might as well pick it up..."
Fang Chang: "It's okay to pick it up. How are you going to pick it up with the size of the killer whale transport plane?"
Ye Shi: "Don't I expect you to think of a solution? (Funny)"
Murderous Dagger: "We finally got the gold coins from the old guy! Please!"
Kidney Fighter: "Good guy, Daqing Enterprise is the old thing you mentioned."
Murderous Dagger: "Hahaha, it's not important!"
"...Do you think I'm Tinker Bell?"
Looking at the posts on the computer screen, Fang Chang couldn't help crying or laughing for a moment.
Ye Shi: "Hurry up. Anyway, you have no one to spare lately. (Funny)"
Fang Chang rolled his eyes and replied on the keyboard.
"Get lost, I'm busy."
During the time he went to Ideal City, he didn't just wander around with nothing to do. Instead, he enrolled in an adult class at Yunjian University. While learning about the situation in Ideal City, he also improved the details of Changyue Company's business plan.
This is the first real private commercial cooperation between the alliance and an enterprise, and it is related to how far the two sides can develop their relations in the economic and trade field in the future.
To this end, he also deliberately studied the company's rules and regulations, business models, etc. in depth to avoid stepping on obvious pitfalls.
Just like what Li Shuyue did when she went to the league.
To be honest, although he is a hardcore gamer, this is the first time he has invested so much emotion in a game.
What surprised him even more was the production team of "Wasteland OL".
He actually designed such rich content for a survivor colony that he spent a month feeling that he only understood a little bit of it.
He had wondered a long time ago whether the development team of "Wasteland OL" would be aliens. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the advanced AI, virtual reality technology and global delivery logistics capabilities.
And Aguang...
Is it really the A Guang he knows?
"Forget it, now is not the time to think about this... We have to find a way to tow that plane back first."
Pressing his eyebrows, Fang Chang held the mouse again, clicked on the map in the official website's information collection, and dragged it to the approximate area where the crash site was located.
Since there is no reference object, the Burning Corps cannot determine its specific coordinates and can only circle a general direction.
But don’t worry about finding that plane.
Even without searching for a drone or telescope, such a large target can still be located through the VM that Ye Shi threw there.
If you are in Yunjian Province, you can spend Cr to entrust a private armed company or a salvage company to recover it.
But thousands of kilometers away in the wasteland...
etc.
It’s not exactly a wasteland either.
Fang Chang's eyes suddenly fell on the Great Rift Valley, his eyes suddenly became excited, and he typed immediately.
"Isn't there an Origin City and a Endpoint City in the Great Rift Valley? You should be able to find mercenaries there to collect money and do things, and maybe they can help us transport them directly to the Xizhou City Industrial Zone... Speaking of which, Brother Bian has not been there before. Why don't you ask him?"
Edge paddling: "Uh, what are you asking me? (Awkward)"
Good guy.
It turned out that I was peeking at the screen.
However, seeing his reaction, Fang Chang had an ominous premonition and typed to confirm.
"Did you just go on a mission?"
Edge of water: "Uh...what else? Did I miss a branch line? (Embarrassing)"
Even without the awkward expression, Fang Chang felt the embarrassment through the screen and couldn't help but hold his forehead.
When you arrive at a new map, isn’t it basic to walk around for a while before pushing the main storyline?
How can you just ignore the task after handing it in?
Just when he was having a headache, his eyes suddenly fell on the map where Luoxia Province meets the west side of the Great Rift Valley.
If he remembered correctly, he seemed to have seen it in Big Eye or someone else's post, saying that there were nuclear craters and ancient battlefields stretching for hundreds of kilometers.
Many scavengers pick up garbage locally, and even form nomadic-like settlements, camping wherever they pick up. Many waste picker groups have used the money earned from picking up trash to upgrade their equipment, including trucks, forklifts, forklifts and even cranes, as well as artificially built "power armor" and "exoskeletons."
This is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that those scavengers recognize the value of silver coins!
The Death Corps even bought supplies there!
Fang Chang suddenly had an idea in his mind, and he immediately picked out the words and wrote a reply in the post.
"You can divide a few people to search near the Great Rift Valley to see if there is a settlement of scavengers. Spend some silver coins to hire some scavengers and ask them to dismantle the aircraft into parts and transport them back to the Rift Valley province... give me more Maybe we can even get them delivered to your door.”
Edge paddling: "Fuck?! Is this possible?"
Fang Chang: "The money has been paid, so what's the problem? Besides, the garbage collectors are professionals, so professional things should be left to professionals. I think there's nothing wrong with it."
Quit smoking: “Awesome!”
Ye Shi: "666!"
Debt-eyed: "Good guy, let's explore this map."
Construction site boy and brick: " x-on:Edge paddling"
Drum hair washing machine: "Damn, where is the leader of my corps? He was still in the post just now."
Mole on the run in the canyon: "Hahahahaha!"
…
While the players were discussing how to drag the big plane back, Chu Guang, who was peeking at the screen in the forum, had a completely dumbfounded expression on his face.
Good guy.
Is this the first time today that he has been stunned?
After a long while, Chu Guang finally couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"...These guys are really talented."
Speak with your conscience in mind.
It's so unfair to miss the gold coins in your old friend's pocket.
Well, that's so unjust.
This is not in line with their own personalities. Since the players have already made up their minds, let them play freely.
Posting a special task is a bit redundant.
"Master, your expression is so strange." Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the edge of the pen holder, held her chin in her hands and observed the expression on his face curiously.
"You're wrong."
Chu Guang coughed slightly and immediately put on a serious face and continued.
"Let the Lord of Dawn City, Jiuli, make preparations. After the parts pass through Tianshui, he will buy them from the players in surprise."
Xiaoqi nodded enthusiastically.
"Okay, Master! But...how do you buy it as a surprise?"
Chu Guang explained patiently.
"Just be more surprised when you pay for it... Referring to other Wang Daoxiang RPGs, in short, the players must understand that they have done a great thing, and as long as they contribute to the alliance, the alliance will not miss them. reward.”
In short, players are encouraged to discover "Easter eggs" outside of the mission on their own.
After all, the number of people on the server has exceeded 10,000 after unlocking the B6 layer. It is already too much to rely solely on the mission system to push players forward. Smart young players must take the initiative appropriately and learn to manage themselves.
Like now.
Chu Guang had always wanted to import large aircraft with long endurance from the company, but the company was very cautious about this and was not at all as generous as when it sold the "Seagull" drone and No. 60 electromagnetic gun.
Chu Guang could understand their caution.
After all, "projection ability" is a more sensitive matter than dangerous weapons to the major forces in the wasteland.
Dangerous alien species can be dealt with with the sharp tools of civilization, but the only thing that can bring a sense of security to civilization is a far enough distance. The wasteland full of alien species and the low-Earth orbit blocked by debris have become a problem in this era. The ideal moat.
Therefore, Chu Guang only asked Yi Chuan once if he could import a "Killer Whale" transport aircraft with a range of more than 3,000 kilometers.
After getting a negative answer, he politely didn't mention it again.
Unexpectedly, what he wanted but couldn't get was actually obtained by his little players in such an unexpected way.
This is really an unexpected surprise.
After the alliance's researchers digest the plasma propulsion technology, he will select some of the front-end technologies that are not too advanced for the real world and share them on the forum.
The main application scenario of plasma propulsion technology is aerospace, and these technologies will certainly be of great benefit to the development of aerospace technology in the real world.
As for the method, of course it is still the same as before.
The chips on the table will not be monopolized by any party. This is a real win-win situation for those who directly or indirectly participate in the game. Smart people will naturally understand the tacit understanding.
The corners of Chu Guang's mouth couldn't help but curl up with a fatherly expression.
good.
The guy who designed this system is so awesome!
At this time, a sound like wind chimes floated from the direction of the pen holder.
"Owner."
Chu Guang, who was in a good mood, replied somewhat ecstatically.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just think you look handsome when you smile!" Ren Xiaogui Dadi touched his chin, and Xiao Qi gave a thumbs up with bright eyes.
Chu Guang laughed.
"That is required."
But having said that, has this guy had more rainbow farts recently?
When did it start...
…
Tiny flames were rising above the bonfire.
Lao Bai, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the fire, suddenly opened his eyes.
Guangfeng, who was sitting opposite him, was stirring the fire with branches. When he heard the sound of him waking up, he asked casually.
"woke up?"
"Um."
"That's good. I'll go offline and have a meal." He threw the branch into the fire, Guangfeng patted the ashes on his hands, and suddenly remembered something and continued, "By the way, someone is following us, about five kilometers away."
Lao Bai said seriously.
"Can the quantity be determined?"
Guangfeng said casually.
"A crawler truck, the same people, they didn't leave."
"I understand, please log off and rest first," Lao Bai nodded and continued, "By the way, I have posted tomorrow's arrangements in the group, you can take a look when you have time."
Kuangfeng made an OK gesture, then clasped his hands on his chest, leaned against the stone behind him, closed his eyes and went offline.
Watching shifts is already a basic skill for the players of "Wasteland OL", especially these veteran players who have already mastered the skills of getting online and offline on time.
However, for the academy, this scene is really new.
In Zhao Xiao's eyes, he saw a group of soldiers on patrol walking toward the fire, their buttocks almost touching the ground. Another soldier sitting in front of the fire stood up at the same time, patted his trouser legs and headed in the direction where the man came from. Gone.
The entire shift change was smooth and smooth.
Not to mention flaws, the time interval is even less than half a minute!
Looking at the well-trained soldiers, Zhao Xiao, who was leaning against the stone pillar, couldn't help but swallowed and complained softly.
"Are these guys all robots..."
Chen Yutong, who was sitting next to him, said nothing, but his eyes were also full of surprise.
After observing them for so long, what impressed her most about these soldiers who claimed to be from the Alliance was their discipline.
But then again...
Can this kind of tacit understanding of falling asleep almost in seconds and waking up almost at the same time really be something that can be achieved through training?
She quite envied this ability.
At the same time, about five kilometers away from the Burning Corps camp, a tracked vehicle parked quietly on the reverse slope of the hill.
Jiang Xuezhou, who was sitting in the back row of the carriage, closed his eyes slightly and frowned slightly.
Seeing the change in her expression, the team member sitting next to her immediately asked eagerly.
"What? Is there any chance?"
"No……"
Jiang Xuezhou shook his head slightly and said solemnly, "Their patrol route is very tricky...the field of view covers all areas within 800 meters, and there are almost no blind spots!"
And they have drones too!
Although those people thought they were well hidden, she saw them all in the sky. The four-rotor drones were lying on the surrounding rocks, like fixed cameras.
Cooperating with the patrols outside, it was almost impossible for them to approach those people's camp without alerting those people.
Lao Song, who was sitting in the driver's seat, couldn't help but said.
"They always have to change shifts, right?"
Jiang Xuezhou nodded.
"Yes... they just rotated once, but the whole process took less than half a minute."
Silence fell in the carriage.
Whether it was Song Changfeng or Zheng Hao, their expressions were not very good-looking.
Originally, they planned to find a chance to rescue their captured teammates, but now it seems that there is no chance.
Jiang Xuezhou raised his head and looked at Zheng Hao, who was sitting in the passenger seat and smoking a cigarette.
"Captain, what should I do?"
Zheng Hao was silent for a while and said.
"Keep following."
Everyone looked at each other and remained silent.
Old Song nodded and said nothing in silence.
They really have no better way besides waiting for the opportunity.
But……
Can they really wait?
…
After handing over the night watch duties to Kuang Feng, Lao Bai then found a player who had also just come online and gave him instructions.
"Take two brothers and set off first, go to the nuclear bomb crater in the northwest of the valley province, find the scavenger camp there, and ask them if they are willing to take on a big deal."
Having read Ye Shi's post before going online, the player immediately understood what Lao Bai meant and nodded with a smile.
"clear!"
The three players temporarily left the team and headed toward the southeastern fork.
Feeling a little hungry, Lao Bai went back to the fire and sat down, preparing for a midnight snack.
The transport plane brought a lot of supplies, and they took everything away without wasting any. There was no shortage of food and fresh water, so there was no need to save anything.
An iron plate and brackets were set up on the fire. Lao Bai skillfully tore open the plastic packaging, poured the rice, mineral water and braised pork into the iron lunch box in order, closed the lid and threw it on the iron plate.
Before long, bubbles began to bubble on the edge of the lunch box.
Lao Bai reached out and took the lunch box off the iron plate. He took a look at it and nodded with satisfaction.
A simple braised pork rice bowl is completed.
The strong fragrance immediately spread out, and the two prisoners who were still awake not far away swallowed their saliva and looked here unconsciously.
Seeing this, Lao Bai smiled knowingly. He made two more portions and threw them on the iron plate. When they were cooked, he walked over with the lunch box and asked the two of them.
"hungry?"
Zhao Xiao looked at him nervously and said nothing.
Chen Yutong, who was sitting next to him, was equally nervous, but seeing that his expression was not ferocious, he still nodded disapprovingly.
Lao Bai smiled and gave each of the two prisoners a portion of the lunch box in his hand, including the stubborn young man.
After taking the lunch box, Chen Yutong lowered his head in embarrassment and said.
"Thanks……"
"You're welcome, eat slowly and be careful not to burn it."
Lao Bai replied casually and sat across from the two of them.
Unable to bear the hunger in his belly, Chen Yutong couldn't wait to open the lunch box.
Although the food in front of her made her feel indescribably strange, she still imitated Lao Bai's movements and reached out with a spoon to scoop out a spoonful of rice soaked in soup.
The moment the spoon was put into her mouth, a strange color suddenly appeared in her pupils.
The smell...is a bit strange.
Take another taste.
To figure out what was happening to her taste buds, she took another spoonful and stuffed it into her mouth, and then another.
The tense expression relaxed a little as her cheeks moved, and the surprise in her eyes became stronger.
This...
What kind of strange technology is this? !
Did you pick it up from some ruins? ?
Seeing that the young man was still sitting there motionless, Lao Bai smiled and teased.
"Eat it, it's not poisonous, it's not worth using that thing on you."
Staring at the lunch box in his hand, Zhao Xiao, who had been silent all the time, suddenly whispered.
"I killed your people... Don't you hate me?"
Chen Yutong quickly looked at the fool who was talking about something else. His face was covered with rice grains and was full of surprise. His expression seemed to say "You don't want to die".
However, Lao Bai, who was sitting opposite them, didn't take it to heart. He just ate his meal and replied lightly.
"It's not hatred. He is a soldier. A 17 or 18-year-old boy can't kill him. He can beat you up with his bare hands. It was the war that killed him. You just happened to hit him with that shot." Of course, after saying so much, it's mainly because he can be resurrected. If it were in reality, he might have other feelings. Thinking of this, Lao Bai couldn't help but make a joke. "Of course, I'm the only one who thinks so. You won't be so lucky if you get caught by others next time." Zhao Xiao's expression was a little stiff, and his heart was full of complexity. Chen Yutong quickly changed the heavy topic. "What kind of place is the Alliance?" Although it was a question that came to mind at the last minute, she was curious before. "This question is very abstract," Lao Bai thought for a while and said, "For the wastelanders, it's probably a place where they can gather together for warmth." Zhao Xiao looked up at the man unexpectedly. "From your tone, you are not a wastelander?"
"A resident of the shelter," seeing the two people's surprised expressions, Lao Bai touched his stubble and said with a smile, "It's normal to feel that they don't look like him... This beard grows too fast, it still looks like him after shaving it."
Zhao Xiao's expression was a little subtle.
In his impression, the residents of the shelter were not like this...even if they shaved their beards, they couldn't imagine it.
"Then...what about you?" Chen Yutong continued to ask, "What kind of place is the alliance for the residents of the shelter?"
"Me..." Lao Bai thought seriously for a while and continued, "I don't know about others, but for me, it's probably a place where I can be reborn."
Zhao Xiao: "Reborn?"
Lao Bai said in a chatty tone.
"Well, I left the army for a while, and my life after demobilization is pretty good, but the experience and knowledge I accumulated before are no longer useful. I still feel sorry when I think of it occasionally...but here, I have found the meaning that I subconsciously desire again."
Although it sounds a bit strange to pursue "meaning" in a virtual world, it would be even stranger to desire to fight in the real world.
If it really comes to a critical moment, he will, like other soldiers, report back to the original team without hesitation and defend the bottom line that cannot be compromised with his burning will.
But if possible, he certainly still hopes for eternal peace, and it is best not to use this skill in reality for the rest of his life.
Neither of them can really understand what he said, especially since there are many words they have never heard of in this paragraph.
Chen Yutong frowned slightly.
"Meaning?"
"Yes, the meaning of life," Lao Bai smiled and said in a casual tone, "In addition to eating and drinking, people always have to pursue something. It just so happens that the style of the alliance is also quite to my taste. It is also interesting to watch our alliance grow day by day with other wanjia - I mean the residents of the shelter."
In addition to eating and drinking, there are pursuits.
What a luxurious idea.
Staring at the clean lunch box in his hand, with no soup left, Chen Yutong couldn't help but laugh at himself.
This is a wasteland.
It's not easy to survive...
Looking at the two people who were silent, Lao Bai continued in a joking tone.
"Don't just ask me who is the prisoner, what about you? Let's chat."
Zhao Xiao said vigilantly.
"What to chat about..."
Lao Bai said with a smile.
"Whatever you want to chat about, life, ideals, and the girl you like."
It's convenient to find out things when the relationship is close.
He can be said to be familiar with this.
Generally, they rarely ask about the captured prisoners. They chat about their hometowns and family matters, so that the prisoners remember that they are not only a paid soldier, but also someone's friend, husband or relative, and they happen to be. If it weren't for their respective positions, they might still become friends.
Moving people with emotions is much more effective than torture. The prisoners may confess everything while chatting, and they haven't recovered yet.
Of course, this only works for ordinary captives, especially those of low castes. If they are professionally trained spies, that's another matter.
That's not their job either.
