This Game is Too Real

The snow began to snow, but it kept falling.

The north wind was blowing, and the woods were whizzing. The woods outside the outpost were dark. It was like hiding people behind every tree, and every grass seemed to be breathing.

The guards on the wall tightened their nerves one by one. They were deeply afraid that they would be killed by the plot, just like the fisherman who was hit by the nest.

On the official website ob, it's too painful.

Not only the players on duty are nervous, but Chu Guang is also nervous.

He has eaten two groups of people of the blood hand clan. The other party can't leave him alone. Even if he is seriously injured, he has to find the field back.

However, the predators in the North did not move. Chu Guang was always uneasy. He sat upstairs in his exoskeleton for half a night. He didn't come down until more than one o'clock in the morning. He slept the next day and didn't get up until eight or nine o'clock.

Instead, those players were full of energy and went online in shifts. It seemed that they didn't feel the heavy snow. They were not affected at all.

I envy you.

Anyway, the body is not your own, and you can't feel the pain beyond the limit. Even if your hands and feet are numb, you can eat some meat and carbon water and lie back in the incubator for a few hours.

Of course, it's just winter, and the coldest time hasn't come yet.

Don't say that ten degrees below zero is not cold. Go to the south to feel the magic attack? You don't need to be below zero. A wind can blow away half your life.

"A heating tube should be added to the exoskeleton."

"Forget it, wait until they make the armor lining."

Looking at the carts of bricks transported from the warehouse into the industrial zone, Chu Guang smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

not bad

These players are very sensible.

Brother xisuo and brother Levin, who got the budget, spent hard. As soon as they went online the next day, they used the budget given by Chu Guang and directly bought 5000 bricks and 500 kg of cement in the warehouse. Under the envious gaze of a group of players, they pulled them to the industrial zone.

Since all the silver coins used are in the enterprise account, it's OK to transfer them directly to the account book. Old Luca has been able to finish the work skillfully, which doesn't even bother Chu Guang.

As for the sand for plastering, there was not much in the warehouse, and it was basically used up when repairing the wall.

But it doesn't matter. Just spend some silver coins to rent a cart and hire two people to pull it at the abandoned construction site due north. 1 silver coins per car, calculated according to five cars per party, pulling about nine cars is enough for the time being.

Anyway, it's only a little more than 2km once. The road is also flat. It's not difficult to walk. Many people rush to do this job.

There, piles of sand and stones are used to build 100 meter high-rise buildings. We can't tell the composition from the varieties, but the quality of things in the pre war era will not be poor.

Although some of the sand was washed into the foundation by rain, the part buried in the soil on the surface alone has been enough for them for many years.

Building an 18 square wall requires 96 bricks, 10 kilograms of cement and more than 50 kilograms of sand.

A 20X10 steel plant is completely sealed with 30000 or 40000 bricks and 45 tons of cement. Even if the warehouse is hollowed out, it can't take out so many materials.

But it doesn't matter.

There's no need to pay so much attention to the waste soil. It's really impossible. Paste the north wall first, then pick up some waste metal and plastic sheds, and build a "same" semi open plant, which can directly save more than half of the materials.

Waste soil, there should be an atmosphere of waste soil. The shack in Beite street before Chu Guang was useless for a kilogram of cement. It can be used for living.

It's called post apocalyptic style.

At least brother toilet rope and brother Levin don't care.

The top priority is to first make the steel-making converter, then melt and cast two rolls of waste metal, and then create a set of powerful armor for the great manager!

That's their top priority right now.

In addition to hiring two people to transport sand, they also hired three players who had worked on the construction site to help build the wall and build the base of the converter.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

However, compared with the smooth progress of "No. 81" steel plant, the progress of niuma brick plant is not so smooth.

Lao Bai and Fang Chang, who were one step slower on the line, were stunned as soon as they arrived at the warehouse.

Good guy, what about the pile of building materials?

Yesterday, there were so many high piles, which were sold out as soon as they were online?!

"Gan!"

"Why are they moving so fast?!"

"Gee, it's a mistake."

"Bucket people are professional... Forget it, brothers, don't panic. Let's investigate the terrain first and then find a way."

After a selection in the warehouse, the four people only bought a wooden cart, shovel, axe and firewood knife for land reclamation, and set out with four people's dry food against the heavy snow.

No, they want to save money for the shelter.

But I can't spend money

By the way, because the enterprise account can only be used in the warehouse, it is not allowed to buy guns in the weapon store.

In order to verify, Fang made a special trip to try, but the landlady of the weapons store didn't care about him at all, so she had to give up.

The snow outside the outpost is heavy, and the north wind is swishing.

Yeshi, holding an iron pipe rifle in his hand, bared his teeth, freed his arm, wiped the snow hanging on his bangs and eyebrows, and complained in a low voice.

"The wind is so strong that it's exaggerated at the end of September, isn't it?"

Lao Bai was optimistic and said with a smile.

"I guess it's to test whether the weather system is stable. Whether it snows in the game world is not a word? I'm not surprised if it snows in summer."

The square commander looked at the only perception system in the team and reminded him.

"You'd better be careful. We are now at war with the bloody hand clan. Although the river is in the Wetland Park, it's not far from the north gate. If the predators sneak attack, I'm afraid we will be the first to meet the enemy."

It's ten in the night.

"Be afraid! In the forest, our home! When the predators come, I'll go up - hiss, it's hard, there seems to be someone in front of us."

"Sleeping trough? Really?!"

Although night ten is not reliable, this guy's perception is the highest among all players at present.

After getting the alarm of night 10, the other three players didn't dare to hesitate, hurriedly threw down the scooter and spread around.

It's not the first time they've teamed up to hunt.

It's not the first time to face predators.

Night ten leaned against the tree. The usual expression of playful and smiling face had disappeared, leaving only seriousness and vigilance.

He looked out carefully, glanced around the snowy forest, and his eyes suddenly locked in one place.

He drew a general direction with his hand, and night ten threw a positive look to the other three teammates.

"Encircle the past."

"Understand."

The outermost Lao Bai acted first, and the four people moved forward in turn with tacit understanding, spreading out in a quadrilateral to surround the past.

Ten meters.

Fifteen meters.

Twenty meters!

A furtive figure finally appeared in the vast snow and fog.

Wearing a gray coat, a thick cotton felt hat on his head and an iron pipe rifle on his back, the man pressed the brim of the hat constantly blown by the wind with his right hand and walked towards the outpost base.

It's not a good thing at first sight!

The square commander immediately made a judgment. Before the man found them, he immediately opened the bow string, put on an arrow, aimed at the man's right arm and released the string.

Just listen to a whizzing sound.

The man had no time to respond, so he was shot in the thigh with an arrow, and fell to the ground with a painful howl.

"Don't move if you don't want to die!"

Lao Bai rushed up first, kicked away the gun he held in his hand, and angrily put the javelin on his head.

The man looked frightened and croaked. He didn't know what he was talking about.

Fang Chang suggested.

"Let's get someone to take him back."

"I'll do it."

The wind raised the crossbow in his hand.

Although it is an intelligence department, crossbow doesn't need too many attribute bonuses.

The other three were also very relieved about the carefulness of the strong wind and had no opinion.

Lao Bai returned to the cart, found the rope and tied it up for the man, and stabbed him in the back with a javelin as a threat.

"If you dare to run away, we'll unload your other leg!"

After that, regardless of whether the man understood it or not, Lao Bai handed him over to the strong wind and watched the strong wind escort the limping prisoner away in the direction of the outpost base.

……

Earlier, seeing that the cattle and horses team left the outpost base, Chu Guang saw that it was getting late, so he went to the warehouse to chop a crab leg down and found a room to roast in the former sanatorium.

In this snowy weather, the food is not so perishable. It's no problem to eat the crab legs for two or three days.

This stuff is high-quality protein. You have to eat it more to increase your muscle.

Chu Guang is idle every day. He just walks in his exoskeleton without turning on the power supply, or does push ups and push ups with a nitrogen powered hammer on his back.

After every practice, I took a shower in the bathroom, dried my clothes, and made some food for myself when I ordered dinner. My childhood was much more comfortable than when I was on Bette street.

Although the training trace on his body is not obvious, and the attribute panel has not changed due to exercise, he can still clearly feel that his strength and muscle coordination have improved slightly.

Chu Guang speculates that the data scanned and summarized by the physical examination equipment mainly measures the "basic hardware" of the body, and exercise may provide an efficiency bonus for the hardware in the form of buff.

Such as "strength + 3%" or "strength + 5%".

The larger the base value of the attribute, the more obvious the effect of exercise.

For players with power gene sequences, exercise can also accumulate the development progress of gene sequences and break through the boundaries of hardware.

At present, the strength attribute of Chu Guang is 10, and the hardware foundation is almost 200% of that of normal adult men (benchmark value 5).

Even without any skills, the coordination of muscles can not be brought into full play, and they can easily crush the heavyweight opponents with their attributes.

If he meets the climber again, even without exoskeleton and nitrogen power hammer, Chu Guang doesn't say how easy he can win, at least he won't be as embarrassed as he was at the beginning.

however.

This assumption is unlikely to hold.

After all, let alone going out, even in the outpost, he wore his exoskeleton in a deerskin coat.

It's just that you don't turn on the power at ordinary times. Power should be weight-bearing training.

Two and a half catties of crab legs are shells, but the remaining two and a half catties of crab meat are also very solid. Chu Guang clapped his hands after eating and put out the fire.

Just then, a player pressed an aborigine in a coat and came in from the outside.

The prisoners were taken to the main building of the sanatorium. The strong wind stood at attention with a serious face and reported to the manager.

"Dear Manager... We caught a predator scout!"

"Prisoner?"

Chu Guang wiped his mouth and squinted at the man in front of him.

The man was covered with snow, mud and dead leaves, with a broken arrow in his thigh, and half of his trousers were stained with dark red blood. He looked very embarrassed.

He said, gritting his teeth.

"Is this your hospitality?"

"The way of hospitality is reserved for guests."

Chu Guang felt that he was not much like a predator, but also not like a nearby scavenger, so he continued in an interrogative tone.

"Who are you? Why did you enter our territory? There are signs at the three entrances of the Wetland Park, which clearly say that no admittance is allowed. You should recognize the skeleton sign even if you don't know the words."

"I'm here to mediate!"

"Mediation?" Chu Guang narrowed his eyes and said in a bad tone, "are you a bloody man?"

"No! I don't belong to anyone!"

Feeling the bad tone, the man quickly clarified, but the wound was too painful. As soon as he was excited, it involved muscles, and it hurt, he showed his teeth.

After a long time, the man tried to stay awake and squeezed out half a sentence from his teeth.

"... can you take care of my wound first? I may not have it in a while."

No, it's OK.

Look at you so calm, I thought you weren't badly hurt.

Chu Guang was happy, but he didn't embarrass him.

He lost five silver coins in the hand of gale and sent the little player away. Then he took out a roll of bandage from the blind box from his pocket and threw it to the man.

I haven't tried the hemostatic effect of this thing.

Just do an experiment with him.

The man obviously knew how to use it. After skillfully opening it, he first broke the arrow rod, plunged it into the meat with the tools inside, and took out the arrow with pain.

The blood flowed down the trouser legs like a tap on.

Chu Guang frowned and couldn't help talking. However, the man seemed to be all right. After biting his teeth and binding the bandage, he was relieved.

"Feel better."

"Better," the man nodded, took a deep breath and continued the topic, "my name is hain, a businessman from Honghe town."

"Why did the merchants in Honghe town mix with the marauders?" Chu Guang looked at him with great interest and continued, "and it must be fifty or sixty kilometers from Honghe town."

"Fifty or sixty kilometers? Oh, that's a straight-line distance. If you want to bypass the urban agglomeration, you have to walk at least 130 kilometers! Of course, if you want to be safe, you have to bypass the highways and bridges... About 150 kilometers."

"So?" Chu Guang looked at him and raised his chin. "You didn't answer my question. Why did you mix with the predators."

"Well, it's not mixed up, it's just... We have some business contacts."

Hain's eyes drifted away and continued after an awkward moment.

"Well, let me be frank. I'm a businessman... Or an employee of the horseshoe firm in Honghe town. Because of the boss, we occasionally do business with some trusted predator tribes in the south of the river valley province, mainly related to the population. Don't look at me like that. Without us, those prisoners would not survive the winter. At least we gave them a new life A chance! "

"So you're in the slave business?" Chu Guang touched his chin with great interest, but he didn't show his interest on his face.

"That's right!" Hain nodded and continued. "This time I was sent to Qingquan city by my boss to buy some slaves from them. But when I got here, I heard you were at war?"

Chu Guang smiled kindly and said.

"Yes, and the enemy of your trading partner is thinking about something now. Suppose your boss doesn't know you've been to me -"

Hain swallowed his saliva and nervously interrupted Chu Guang's words.

"I know what you want to say, but it doesn't make sense. There are dead people on the waste land every day. My death doesn't matter to my boss."

"Really?"

"Don't you want to hear my proposal first than what to do with me?"

"You say."

Hain continued quickly.

"The bloody hands want to stop the war with you. They are willing to pay a ransom of 20 chips for each prisoner... Of course, if they lack arms and legs, they are only willing to pay half."

"Oh, what about the contract they gave you?"

"My contract? What contract -"

"Come on, don't pretend," said Chu Guang impatiently, looking at Hain pretending to be a fool there. "Do you think you can deceive me? You said that there are dead people on the waste land every day. Will someone block their lives for something bad? Or is it good for you to stop the war?"

Hain said with a smile.

"I'm not trying to hide... But I really don't have a contract with them. Well, I'll tell the truth. His leader promised me that as long as I can take their people back, they are willing to 'deal with' the wounded to me cheaply. But it's actually good for you, isn't it?"

"No one wants to fight in the heavy snow, and your neighbors have a headache about this terrible weather. Why don't you sit down and have a good talk? In fact, it's not an endless contradiction. The misunderstanding in this can be solved."

"I took the prisoners back to work. You got a war compensation and shook hands with your neighbors... We can win-win!"

Chu Guang smiled.

But the arc of the corner of the mouth is cold.

Misunderstanding?

Untie?

Ha ha ha.

He has never heard such a funny joke.

If I hadn't met him and happened to meet this group of players, if it were other survivor strongholds, not to mention what would happen to men and women, even the bones would have been sucked clean.

Make peace?

Those people are just waiting for an opportunity.

For example, the snow stopped.

"Mr. hain, I feel like you're making me laugh. Reconcile with the predators? Do you believe what you said?"

Hain's expression was a little embarrassed.

In fact, before entering the outpost, he had a hunch that this group was different from the survivor stronghold he had been to before.

Walls, trenches, duty sentries, hunting sentries

No one here is a professional soldier, but everyone seems to be able to fight, and the most important thing is to dare to fight.

They wear blue coats, but they have no illusions about the goodwill of the world.

I'm afraid the negotiation will collapse

"I see, you have your difficulties. Since I can't talk, I'm not reluctant... Can you let me go? I'll keep everything I see tight lipped." Hain made a stop loss judgment in a second.

However, Chu Guang didn't open his mouth. He just stared at his eyes, and just looked at it for a long time.

The latter felt very angry when he was looked at. He only felt that he was stared at by a climber, and sweat gradually seeped from his back. Unable to bear the pressure, his lips trembled and opened.

"Even if you kill me, you won't do any good... Why? I have no grievance with you. You can continue to fight. I promise I won't be involved again."

"But there is no harm."

For a moment, Hain felt that his heart had stopped beating.

However, Chu Guang's next sentence raised his hope of life.

"You said you were in the slave business?"

"Yes, yes!" as if grasping the straw, Hain nodded nervously, "do you need slaves? I can help you! We not only import slaves, but also export slaves, but also provide door-to-door delivery. If you need --"

"Come with me."

Looking at the man walking out the door, Hain was forced to stop talking, swallowed his saliva, dragged his lead filled legs and limped up.

The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier. The wind blew on his face like a knife, especially on the wound. Hain felt as if his blood was going to be frozen.

Fortunately, it's not far.

The man took him to a simple hut, and then said a few words to the old man on duty at the door. He saw the old man nodding, turning back to the house and taking out a wooden box.

Chu Guang weighed the weight of the box and handed him to Hain.

Hain, who took the box, felt his hands sink and looked puzzled at the man who handed him the box.

"... what is this?"

"Open it."

There was an ominous feeling in his heart, but Hain released one hand and opened the box.

When he saw the ornaments made of finger bones in the box, his blood seemed to solidify and his face lost its color.

Of course he knows these things when dealing with predators all year round.

Those people will take the prey's index finger as a booty, dry clean it, make jewelry and hang it on their bodies, like lifeblood.

This demon in blue!

I didn't leave any

"Winter is coming, and I don't have so many cells here. I'm afraid the prisoners you want can only be found from here."

Looking at Hain who lost his soul, Chu Guang smiled carelessly.

"Let's make a deal."

"I promise, you will get a large number of... And a large number of prisoners. You will behave ruthlessly in front of your boss, and then go to the peak of your career. With good luck, you will even say goodbye to the life with your head pinned on your belt."

"And I can solve the trouble in the North once and for all."
