This Game Is Too Realistic

Boss help!

Damn it, this nibbler doesn't talk about martial arts! Why do you still grab Lao Tzu's equipment?!

Get out! Don't bite Lao Tzu's shield!

Clothes! My clothes!

Ask if you don't understand, is this game serious???

Come closer to me! Gan! Don't you f*ck run away!

In the subway tunnel, the noise of the players echoed.

The sixth in the corner of the strength department is still trying to stabilize his teammates, but the sniper in the agility department has run away without a trace, leaving only the perceptual department's Lost Mengxin shivering, and the intelligence department's props teacher staged a chase and run on the spot .

Seeing the four little Mengxins running around the field being chased by the nibblers, quitting smoking felt a headache.

He felt that even if he smoked cigarettes all night, he probably couldn't figure out how these people got the qualification for the closed beta test.

Gan!

So angry!

Looking at the IDs of these people, he thought they were awesome.

Seeing that the boss didn't move during the whole process, the props master hurriedly asked for help.

Boss! Shoot quickly!

Quit smoking and can't help spraying.

Damn, you need a fucking gun to hit the eaters!

But if I don't make a move again, these cute newcomers may not see the sun tomorrow.

After quitting smoking in the end, he turned on the insurance, raised the sickle assault rifle in his hand, and shot and killed the nibblers surrounding the prop guide with two bang bang shots.

Then, he pulled out his short axe, rushed forward and slashed wildly, leading his apprentices to fight a bloody path from the encirclement of the eaters.

Leaning against the wall, he took a breath and swung the ax covered in black slime.

One thing to say, this nibbler feels really enhanced!

Whether it is speed or strength, there is a clear difference from those he met in the tunnel in the previous winter.

Even though he has experienced many battles, he still feels a little tricky.

However, this does not prevent him from pretending to be aggressive in Mengxin.

He took a deep breath, quit smoking steadily, and said calmly.

There are only a few attacking methods of the nibbler. Grab it with your hands, jump up and bite it. Don't panic when you hit your face. Remember not to get entangled with them. Just hit it with a shield to make it lose its balance, and then take the dick to it. It’s enough to say hello on the head...you will get the hang of it the more you get used to it a few times.”

Leaning against the tunnel wall and panting heavily, the four young players who survived the catastrophe listened to Quit Smoking explain the strategy skills, their eyes sparkling.

The boss is awesome!

too strong!

Is this the T0 combat power!

Invincible!

Hearing the embarrassment of this group of people, Quit Smoking coughed dryly.

Cough...it's not as exaggerated as you said. Didn't you read the strategy?

Look! We've been doing homework for a long time! The sixth child in the corner chuckled, and continued, I'm in the strength department! I'm a DPS player in the front row!

The other three also raised their hands in unison.

Lost Mengxin: I, I, I perceive! Professional scouts!

Bai gave him a sniper: I'm in the agility department, so I'm just short of a sniper!

Props teacher: I'm in the intelligence department! After awakening, I plan to use the brain wave mechanical flow! Late stage dad!

Quit smoking: ...

He seemed to know what the problem was.

...

Four hundred players have all left shelter 117 and followed the old players to the world outside the shelter.

Through the VM device associated with the Passing the Torch task, Chu Guang can easily grasp where the newcomers have gone, what tasks they are doing, and who is leading them.

Coupled with the hummingbird drone patrolling in the air, he can even move the camera above the players' heads to peek at the screen.

Of course, there are also a few hard-headed players who decide to take the 5 silver coins issued by the novice gift package and go to the wasteland to venture alone.

Sandbox game.

A high degree of freedom is part of the game content.

As an excellent planner, Chu Guang certainly would not interfere with each player's specific gameplay.

He only makes macro decisions and rule rulings to ensure that most individuals are running on the right track.

A few exceptions are irrelevant.

The meaning of the rules will be reflected after they own the property in the game.

When the newcomers are equipped with magical costumes and have a lot of buddies or sisters in the game who have a stronger relationship than in reality, they will naturally understand that obeying the rules is not for others, but for themselves...

Vault 404.

Chu Guang, who had just finished training with the newbies in the shelter next door, took off his power armor and went straight to the medical laboratory on the B3 floor.

Butch, dressed in a tin can, happened to be there when he got here.

Since he lived in the refuge, he would wander to the medical laboratory whenever he had time to inquire about the latest research progress on the slime mold variant.

Before Heya came out of the analysis room, Chu Guang looked at Butch sitting on the chair and asked curiously.

Is there no mutant slime mold in the province among the clouds?

Butch: Of course there are. No matter whether it is a cloud-listed market or a cloud-based market, it is almost impossible to completely eradicate them.

Chu Guang: I heard that the legion will limit the living space of slime mold by demolishing cities.

A giggling laugh floated out of the tin can.

Hehe, don't listen to the idiots of the Legion bragging about demolishing those high-rise buildings? The entire People's Federation's nuclear bomb reserves have not been used. How can they have this ability?

Chu Guang gave him a strange look.

Why did People's Federation demolish their own house?

Who knows what happened two hundred years ago, Bucky shrugged, I heard that there are still many companies in Prosperity Era.

While talking, the alloy door of the sample analysis room opened

Heya, who was wearing a white coat, came out from behind the door, and handed a wrist-mounted computer into a tablet to Chu Guang who had just returned from the outside.

Chu Guang glanced at the densely packed data on the screen. Although he knew every letter and number, he couldn't read them together.

But that's okay.

If I can understand, what else do I need her to do.

This is?

With unconcealable excitement between her brows, Heya said happily.

A detailed analysis report on the juvenile brood! Thanks to the samples obtained by your residents, we now have a more comprehensive understanding of the formation of the brood, and this further confirms my guess-these slime Bacteria are dominated by a unified consciousness, and the transmission of this information is likely to be achieved through spores!

That is to say...

Spores are not only reproductive cells, but also the medium of information exchange between mutant slime molds?

Similar to insect pheromones?

Chu Guang, staring at the tablet, fell silent.

What a convenient creature.

But at this time, Butch, who was standing aside, suddenly became nervous.

Wait, that means... the brood gives orders through spores? Will the slime mold on me be controlled by the spores released by the brood?

He Ya looked at him and said.

You were infected outside Qingquan City, right?

Bucky nodded nervously.

...After I was infected, I walked west and north for five or six hundred kilometers before arriving in Qingquan City.

Chu Guang said.

Five or six hundred kilometers, it should be beyond the boundaries of the River Valley Province.

He Ya said in a relaxed tone: Then don't worry, these mutant slime molds have strong regional attributes, they rely on RNA transcription proteins to identify their own kind, only the same kind can have a unified consciousness coordination, and different The slime mold 'identification code' is different from region to region.

Hearing this, Bucky finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Guang looked at Heya and asked the question he was most concerned about.

Does this brood have any weaknesses?

Heya answered very simply.

Its weakness is the weakness that all creatures have. If it is killed, it will die.

Chu Guang: ...

Saying this is tantamount to not saying it.

Heya replied bluntly.

If you want to kill them completely, the best way is undoubtedly fire, followed by explosives. Strong acid is also a good way, but the cost is too expensive. If you want to ask if there is any shortcut, unfortunately, currently Look no, unless...

Chu Guang immediately asked, Unless?

Unless we can find a way to get samples from the brood in the city center, Heya said confidently, According to the model I have established, more than 80% of the spores in the city are produced by the brood in the city center, and A series of other fruiting entities, including nibblers, hatching chambers, and even new broods, are ultimately rooted in the oldest brood located in the city center!

Chu Guang: ...

What's the difference between this and not saying?

The honest and upright Butch vomited out his inner thoughts for him.

...I think that even without model analysis, you can draw this conclusion by looking at it with your eyes.

Heya glanced at him.

Eyes can deceive, but data can't.

Chu Guang coughed lightly.

You're right, the data won't lie, but what we need most now is a way to crack the wave, and we don't have much time left.

However, what surprised Chu Guang was that these slime molds had formed a highly organized hive society as Heya guessed.

They imitate not only the forms and hunting methods of other creatures in nature, but even go deep into more complex social levels.

Some fruiting bodies are responsible for reproduction, some are responsible for development, and some are responsible for hunting. When necessary, the nibblers as worker bees will even sacrifice themselves to become the nourishment for the expansion of the incubator's creep.

The spore cloud covering the whole city can even act like a local area network, providing information services for the slime mold variants in the city, and these variants themselves act as routers, releasing spores all the time.

There is no shortcut to destroying them.

After a pause, Chu Guang continued.

As for the samples of the brood... your request is very difficult, but I will try my best to help you find a way.

Boulder City, located on the edge of the Third Ring Road, may have a solution.

Chu Guang had heard from Xia Yan before that some powerful mercenary regiments could go deep into the city center to search for relics of pre-war civilization.

As long as he has enough chips in his hand, this problem may be solved with money.

While Chu Guang was deep in thought, Ba Qi, who was sitting beside him, hugged the tin can on his head in pain.

Damn...why on earth did I make this long trip?

He's already starting to regret it.

Perhaps, like other alumni who choose to travel for graduation, it is enough to travel in the province of clouds.

There is no need to go so far, and there is no need to set the goal so high as soon as you come up.

When he thought of his handsome face turning into this ghostly look, he felt so painful that he wanted to die.

I will become like this, no matter how I think it is the fault of that guy Luo Hua!

Chu Guang glanced at this friend who came from afar with a strange expression, and said a kind reminder.

Actually, it doesn't matter if you take off the helmet, I think... the people in the shelter won't mind your appearance.

Rather...

Strange-looking NPCs are more popular?

However, after hearing Chu Guang's words, Butch shook his head bang bang, showing strong resistance.

I don't even want to kill me!

...

at dusk.

The little buddies who had been playing the game all day, dragged their tired bodies and tattered equipment, and returned to the outpost.

When they set off from Shelter 117, many of them still carried engineering shovels and axes produced by No. 81 Steel Plant, or shields, javelins, bows and arrows, and spears made by carpentry huts.

But now, almost everyone's equipment has been replaced by steel bars, sticks, and even bricks picked up from nowhere.

Some players didn't even come back at all.

After being cloud players on the forum for several months, they finally experienced how real a 100% real virtual reality game can be.

Throwing the tattered stick on the ground, Meng Xin, whose ID is called Painter, sat down at the south gate, cursing.

Nimma, this nibbler is too strong. Holding the shield, he gnawed wildly, and almost gnawed off my nose!

A good friend whose ID is an illustrator also echoed.

That's right! Didn't the Gnaw be a novice monster? This intensity is too outrageous!

The encounter between the two Mengxin is not an exception.

In fact, it's not just the newcomers who find it difficult, even the awakened players can clearly feel that the strength of the nibblers is much higher than before.

And this enhancement is not just an optimization of monster AI, it is obvious that even the panel data is a point or two higher than before.

Once surrounded, even the awakened ones of the strength system and constitution system can easily fall into a dangerous situation.

Not to mention newcomers whose panel attributes have not yet grown up.

But complaints belong to complaints, and no one is discouraged.

If you can't even accept this level of difficulty, it's unlikely you'll be able to complete the questionnaire with increasingly outrageous questions and difficulty, let alone have the chance to become a lucky beta tester.

It's not just the unloading point at the south gate and the market at the north gate that are bustling, the front of the hunter union's wooden house is also bustling with people.

Looking at the predators whose hands and feet were chained, Yu Hu's expression was a little befuddled.

If I remember correctly, the task I posted should be to search for the slime mold variants in the area, clean up the hatching room where the gnawings are produced, and the source of spore diffusion.

However……

Why did these players capture a bunch of living people?

Roughly speaking, there are hundreds of them.

His hunter union doesn't have the task of capturing slaves either.

Looking at the president of the hunter union, the commander of the spring smiled: I didn't find the hatch, but I found the predator's lair.

The battlefield atmosphere group said with emotion: These people are real cowhide, and they are actually hiding in the bridge hole!

I am the darkest: It stinks!

Old Wang next door: Hey, the hangers I caught are actually nesting on the hanging tower!

Kakarot: Damn it, are you afraid of falling if you sleep so high?!

The old Wang next door shook his head, and poked the predator next to him with his gun, I don't know, why don't you ask him?

The looter who was poked by the gun was trembling, afraid and did not dare to hide aside.

The same goes for other predators.

Apart from fear, there was more confusion on his face.

They didn't intend to pay attention to these poor ghosts who didn't even have a two-headed cow. Those fat caravans were their targets.

However, when these people saw them, their eyes seemed to glow green, and they rushed forward without saying a word.

In fact, from the perspective of players, there is nothing wrong with it.

After all, the fighting power of the alien species has increased significantly, and the only ones that have not changed are these predators.

Those old players are very experienced in dealing with predators. From bloody hands to bone chewers, which one is not their defeat?

Not to mention that these predators are much fatter than gnawers, and they can earn a fortune in silver coins after taking over their lair, and they can also increase their contributions.

Who would say no to a walking experience pack?

In addition to captured marauders, there are also slaves the player has rescued from their lairs.

Among them are men and women, some with healthy limbs, and some with missing arms and legs, and some are even dying.

Some of them even had big bellies.

Yu Hu, who had never dealt with predators, didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Fortunately, the manager came over at this time.

After learning about the situation, Chu Guang immediately found Guo Niu, who was in charge of the outpost warehouse, and gave him instructions.

People are sent to the POW camp first, and the guards there know how to identify who is the predator. After the interrogation, the predator remains in the prison camp, and other rescued survivors are sent to Changjiu Farm.

If they have other places to go, let them go. If they are willing to stay, put them in a refugee village and let Jiuli find something for them to do.

On the west side of Changjiu Farm, there is a large piece of farmland that needs to be cultivated.

And besides farm work, Jiujiu Farm has recently opened a lot of hotels and taverns for businessmen, and they are recruiting bookkeepers, accountants, cooks, cleaners and waiters.

Whether you have a skill or not, if you want to work, there will never be a shortage of job opportunities there.

Guo Niu nodded seriously.

Yes, my lord!

According to the price of 50 silver coins and 50 contributions for a prisoner and 80 silver coins and 80 contributions for a predator, Chu Guang settled the mission rewards for the players.

Looking at the players rushing to the north gate happily, Yu Hu lowered his head in shame and said in a muffled voice.

Sorry, I didn't do this little thing well.

Chu Guang said in an encouraging tone.

Don't say that, you've done a good job. As for similar things, you'll gain experience after dealing with them a few times. If you're really undecided, you can contact me or Xiao Qi.

In fact, let alone Yu Hu, Chu Guang himself was quite surprised.

Originally, his original intention of establishing the Hunter Union was to deal with the impending wave and enrich the gameplay of the hunter players along the way. However, he did not expect that the hunter players did not find a few hatching rooms, but instead destroyed many predators' lairs.

The large piece of land in the northern suburbs is worrying about not being able to grow it.

It was a surprise to be able to retrieve so many captives.

Clearing his throat, Chu Guang looked at Yu Hu and continued.

Let's talk about the business first. How is the matter I asked you to investigate?

Yu Hu nodded quickly and said immediately.

There are already results! I'm planning to report to you!

After a pause, he continued.

According to the clues collected by the hunter team we sent to the edge of the Fifth Ring Road to the Fourth Ring Road, a large number of nibblers are moving from the city center to the suburbs along a number of highways out of the city.

Their speed is not fast, but their pace is firm. Especially at night, their marching speed is almost twice that of the day... If the current speed is maintained, the first wave of nibblers may reach the northern suburbs within two days. I'm afraid it's no less than a hundred thousand!

One hundred thousand? !

Chu Guang's face was slightly dignified.

Has something similar happened in the northern suburbs before?

If the scale of the wave is really so huge, the strength of the northern suburbs is simply not enough to resist it.

Not to mention the few bolt-action rifles in the old leech warehouse, it is impossible to add Brown Farm and the Bloody Hand clan together.

Yu Hu frowned and thought hard for a while, then shook his head and said.

I haven't heard that the tide goes north before, but there are a few times when there is fog...but not every year.

The difficulty of the wave has increased significantly this year.

Is it because of population?

Chu Guang looked serious and said immediately.

I need to know the specific course of action of the wave, do you have a map here?

Yu Hu nodded immediately.

Yes! I'm just going to take it for you!

With that said, he returned to the cabin of the Hunter Union, quickly took out a map, and walked out of the cabin again.

Back beside Chu Guang, Yu Hu unfolded the map in front of him and pointed to the mark he had drawn on the map.

right here!

I saw a red line and four yellow lines drawn with a marker pen on the paper map.

The lines of these two colors represent the main direction of the wave and the branch lines running through the streets of the city respectively.

The Garden Street subway station between Beit Street and Brown Grange is just on the red line!

Without a moment's delay, Chu Guang took the map and went directly to the guard station, and recalled the guard captain Spanner, who was far away in Changjiu Farm, and his capable generals.

The battle meeting begins.

Chu Guang spread out the map on the table.

...If the tide continues to push, not only will our neighbors suffer, but Vault 117, the outpost, and the new industrial area will all be in trouble.

There is a relatively open area at the entrance and exit of the ring road to the south of Huayuan Street subway station. I plan to build a defense line around this area and deploy more than 500 troops and heavy weapons.

If you have any good opinions, you can put them forward now!

Vanus, who was staring at the map, thought for a moment, then suddenly said.

I wonder if our opponents are just Gnabblers, or include Creepers and Tyrants?

Chu Guang: Maybe both!

Everyone in the conference room held their breath in unison.

It would be fine if they were just gnawers. Those aliens who could only run and gnaw would only be killed in front of the guns. A few heavy machine guns were enough to press them to the ground and rub them.

However, if there are monsters with all-terrain mobility like creepers and tyrants with unfathomable blood, the situation may not be optimistic.

Coupled with the monsters like Martyrs who didn't follow the rules at all, this battle would probably be a disaster.

Vanus only took half a minute to think, and immediately made a judgment.

One line of defense is probably not enough! On the basis of this line of defense, we need at least three kilometers of strategic depth to stop them from advancing through multiple levels of defense!

The wrench frowned.

I'm afraid it's too late for three kilometers. It's too much to build this line of defense before they arrive!

Vanus didn't speak, but looked at Chu Guang.

The same goes for everyone else.

As if he was the only hope.

Under the gaze of everyone, Chu Guang nodded slowly and only said three words.

In time!

Anytime is too late.

It just takes a little sacrifice...

At the same time, on the viaduct more than ten kilometers away.

In the queue moving forward like the tide, a pair of scarlet pupils are staring at the northern sky intently.

In that line of sight, there was a coercion that even the claws of death could not meet their eyes.

It opens its mouth.

The hoarse voice was like the howling of a ghost.

children……

Burning...

It is necessary...to purify...

Those scarlet pupils were filled with the desire for killing and blood!
