This Game Is Too Realistic

Next to the warehouse.

Survivors carrying handbags looked at me and I looked at you, exchanging surprise and bewilderment in each other's eyes.

Join a new alliance?

...are they serious?

The voice of the mayor doesn't sound like he's drunk too much.

Shh...you can't talk nonsense about this, be careful to be overheard by those with guns.

Nobody hates this decision.

I just can't believe it.

The new alliance is actually willing to take in these scavengers who pick up garbage?

This sounds too magical!

After thinking about it, there was nothing in Xizhou City that was worthy of those people's rarity.

Apart from a tomb-like concrete ruin, there is only one Xizhou Lake, which is flooded all the year round. The lake water not only turned the entire east bank into a swamp, but also poured back into the low-lying urban areas, making it difficult to find a plot of land for farming.

As for the trade value, it is almost zero.

Generally, merchants would not come here at all. The Valley Province has only two plains in the north and south, with either mountains or rivers in the middle. Even if there are no predators, few people will come here. Until last year, they lived almost in isolation.

Do you think this is the pie that the mayor painted for us? A thin middle-aged man whispered.

...Very likely, the slightly shorter old man swallowed, Anyway, if I were the leader of the new alliance, I would definitely not recruit a group of beggars into my home.

Although what Wu Chengyi said on the radio was serious, few survivors believed what he said.

Unlike those survivors, however, the guerrilla soldiers knew well that their leader never joked.

Especially when it comes to such serious matters.

So...we are soldiers of the new alliance from now on?

At the entrance of the settlement, the guerrilla soldiers on duty heard the broadcast from beginning to end, with strange expressions on their faces.

His name is Liao Feng, and before joining the guerrillas, he came from a survivor colony called the Good Weather Cooperative.

When the Bone Chewing Tribe attacked Xizhou City, they were the first to fall, and less than fifty people escaped alive from a village of thousands of people.

He instinctively distrusted those who came from the outside world. Whether it's the Marauders of the Bonechewer Horde, or that alliance.

...Maybe? The man with a hunting bow behind his back also listened to the radio and answered in an uncertain tone.

His name is Lie Gong, and like Liao Feng, he is a member of the resistance organization in Xizhou City, but he is not from the Good Weather Cooperative, but from other survivors' settlements.

In the broadcast just a few minutes ago, Wu Chengyi seemed to have mentioned something about the guerrillas.

After that, the new alliance will send officers to train them and provide them with new equipment.

And their identities will also be officially changed from miscellaneous troops to the Third Corps of the New Alliance, and they will participate in the final battle with the Bonechewer...

Do you think joining that alliance is really a good thing? Liao Feng glanced at him and said.

Hunting Bow was silent for a while, then shook his head and said.

I don't know, but I don't think...it's not a bad thing.

How bad could it be?

Not to mention weapons and equipment, they are already so poor that they can't even replenish the nutrition cream.

In the past, the soldiers of the guerrillas could still be given croissants and green wheat porridge, and occasionally they could eat two bites of meat, but now everyone is uniformly rationed with nutritional cream.

The logistical situation is evident.

At this time, a bearded man wearing hyena boots walked towards this side.

Seeing their immediate superiors, the two immediately stopped talking.

I need someone to show our allies around here. Stopping at the entrance of the settlement, Wang Sijie looked around at the people standing guard, Is there anyone who volunteers to come out?

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Nobody moved.

They can be said to know nothing about this ally that suddenly appeared. They neither knew the nature of those people nor their taboos.

Being able to fight those predators inextricably in the city, those people are undoubtedly ruthless people.

What if I offend others?

No one wants to be this early bird.

Seeing that no one came out, Wang Sijie was about to call the roll.

At this time, Hunting Bow stood up.

Let me do it.

Liao Feng, who was standing aside, peeked at him in surprise. He didn't expect this guy to be so courageous, and he took the initiative to take over this thankless job.

Wang Sijie nodded in satisfaction and gestured.

follow me.

...

Fairly clean single room.

Lao Bai, who was lying flat on the bed, opened his eyes without warning, turned over and sat up from the bed.

It is six o'clock in the evening.

After confirming the current time through the VM, Lao Bai was about to meet up with his teammates when he suddenly found a long string of small windows on the screen.

[Task 1: Inspect Hope Town, complete the full map search with VM and camera equipment. 】

[Task 2 (Subject): Write a 200-word report, explaining the situation of local survivors from various aspects such as economy, culture, politics, and education. 】

[Mission 3 (Branch): Find NPCs with special talents or special identities]

[Mission 4 (branch): ...]

The task rewards are very generous, not only giving silver coins, contribution points, but also giving the prestige of the new map area.

Looking at the long list of tasks on the VM, Lao Bai's face was full of bewilderment, and he couldn't help but feel a little weird.

Especially the second task.

Good guy, even the map introduction is left to the players to write it themselves.

Shouldn't this kind of thing be a planning job!

This is too lazy!

But this task is actually quite easy to say, Fang Chang likes to do it the most, so he should be very happy to take it over.

As for the third...

Lao Bai stared at the task interface for a long time, but couldn't figure out any clues, and finally shook his head giving up.

Forget it...don't care.

There are only more than 5,000 people in this survivor settlement.

In short, trigger more conversations, maybe you can find clues.

After simply sorting out his equipment, Lao Bai pushed open the door, walked through the narrow corridor, and went to the lobby of the rest area to meet his teammates.

The environment here is very simple, and the air condition is terrible, but even so, this is already the room with the best condition in Hope Town.

Most of the survivors are crowded in the shops or even the aisles of the underground commercial complex, separated from each other by cloth curtains, or simply crowded together.

Not to mention a separate room, not even a decent bed.

Since yesterday morning, following the little boy and discovering the hiding place of the survivors in Xizhou City, the cattle and horse team have lived here.

Compared with sleeping in the ruins, it is undoubtedly much safer to log off here, at least there is no need to arrange for people to log in to guard the corpse in turn.

Frightened by the strength of the new alliance, the survivors of these resistance organizations respected them, even cautiously.

Unless the looters find this place, go offline here and don't have to worry about security issues at all.

When Lao Bai came to the lobby of the rest area, Fang Chang, Ye Shi, and Kuang Feng had already been here for a while.

Looking around, Lao Bai found that not only his good brother was here, but also two strange NPCs were standing here.

...Your Majesty Wang Sijie, the guerrilla leader of the resistance organization in Xizhou City. The man next to him is Bowhunter, my soldier. During the time you stay in Hope Town, he will be your guide. Looking around When everyone was present, Wang Sijie introduced himself briefly and introduced the guerrilla soldiers standing beside him to everyone.

Seeing the officer introducing himself, the man with a bow behind his back immediately answered.

Welcome, friends from Dawn City...you can come to me if you encounter any problems here, and I will do my best to help you solve them.

Fang Chang said with a smile.

You don't have to be so polite, just show us around.

I still have tasks for a while, so I won't bother you. Patting the hunting bow on the shoulder, Wang Sijie left a sentence of I leave it to you, then turned and left the hall.

Watching the guerrilla leader leave, Ye Shi whispered.

I thought we would arrange for a young lady to be our guide.

The wind squinted at him.

After a rational analysis, even if you arrange for a young lady in this settlement of survivors with a poor living standard, the possibility of meeting your aesthetics is about the same as—

Ye Shi immediately covered his mouth.

Okay, I don't want to hear your nonsense.

Gust: ...

Lie Gong looked blankly at the two whispering, unable to understand what they were talking about.

Fortunately, the officer had specifically explained the language problem to him before, and his reaction was quite calm, speaking in a serious tone.

I'll show you around here...please come with me.

After finishing speaking, Hunting Bow was about to lead the way, but at this moment, the man who was also carrying a bow behind his back stopped him.

Wait a minute, Fang Chang took out a bag of wheatbread from his pocket, and handed it to him, This is your reward.

The bag of wheat cakes weighed half a catty.

Hunting Bow, who received the paper package, was taken aback for a moment, but soon he realized what it was, and an expression of ecstasy immediately appeared on his face.

We don't need to be paid... Although he said so, he didn't mean to return the things at all.

Fang Chang looked at him and smiled.

You're welcome, we don't let people do our jobs for nothing.

In Dawn City, one silver coin can buy two pieces of these wheat cakes, not to mention that the supplies sent by airdrops do not need money to buy.

It only needs to pay a small fee to gain the loyalty of a guide, and it can also make the view that people who work for the new alliance can be paid to get paid take root in the hearts of the locals.

This deal is simply too cost-effective!

Putting away the paper bag with a grateful face, Hunting Bow carefully put it in the inner pocket of his clothes, planning to take it home after work and share it with his family.

Taking a deep breath, he looked at Fang Chang.

Thank you for your generosity!

Fang Chang nodded.

Show us around, our managers want to know what's going on here.

Hunting Bow said immediately.

No problem, please come with me!

Because of the piece of green wheat cake, the guide named Hunting Bow was obviously much more enthusiastic.

After learning that Fang Chang and his party wanted to know the real life conditions of the residents of Hope Town, they immediately led them through several corridors to the residential area on the B1 floor of the commercial complex.

As soon as he stepped into this area, Lao Bai felt an unpleasant smell blowing towards his face.

The narrow aisles and stairs were almost filled with garbage piled up in a disorderly manner, and there were six or seven hundred people lying here and there in a space of less than 500 square meters. The ceiling of the corridor is covered with crooked ventilation ducts like centipedes, but cockroaches and mice have nested in them.

And this is just the corner of this small town.

The sanitation here is terrible, although the problem here is much more than sanitation. Because of the lack of nutrition, fuel and warmth, people fainted or even starved to death every day.

As for those bodies...

There is a high probability that it will be dragged to the nutrient paste synthesis device, and it will be made into a green paste-like substance with other plant fibers, animal and insect corpses.

Sallow and emaciated faces were hidden in the darkness, and people huddled up on the garbage dumps, which were simpler than shacks, like rats in the sewer.

They carefully observed these strangers who were out of place with them and the surroundings with curious eyes, and whispered about the identities of these people.

Are they... from the new alliance?

Is the mayor not joking?

Thank goodness... we are finally saved.

The sound spread like ocean waves.

While the local residents were sizing up the group of people behind Lie Gong, the team of the cow and horse team were also sizing up at them.

Walking behind the strong wind, Ye Shi involuntarily held his breath.

Not only because of the suffocating smell, but also because of the shocking scenes in front of me.

It's hell here...

The last time I saw such a tragic situation was in the dungeon in Qingshi County.

...Those damn bandits. Ye Shi couldn't help cursing in a low voice, Go to hell.

Fang Chang and Kuangfeng didn't speak, one was treating this place as a game, the other was that they didn't talk much at first, and Lao Bai, who was walking in the front, was in a heavy heart, as if he was thinking about something on his mind.

Noticing the expressions on everyone's faces, Hunting Bow explained.

This is the area where ordinary residents live. Our supplies are scarce, and it is already very difficult to maintain the status quo... My chief does not want me to bring you here. He asked me to avoid the area on the B1 floor as much as possible and show our beauty side. But if you want to know the real situation here, it can't be more real than here.

Fang Chang looked at him and asked.

Bringing us here won't trouble you, will it?

Hunting Bow said with an embarrassed smile.

How? Please don't worry about me. Our officer told me to obey your orders. If he asked about it, I would say that you insisted on coming.

Lao Bai glanced around, and said in a stumbling language.

You put so many people here, won't the looters find it?

Hunting Bow continued.

Don't worry about that. The entrance on the surface has completely collapsed. We have completely sealed off the entrance directly from the subway station. There is only one way to get in from the outside, and that is the secret door hidden in the subway tunnel.

At this time, Lao Bai's heart suddenly moved, and he whispered a few words to Fang Chang about the task on the VM.

Fang Chang froze for a moment, then immediately looked at Hunting Bow and asked.

Speaking of which, are there any people with special talents here?

Special talent? Lie Gong was stunned for a moment, What kind of talent are you talking about?

Fang Chang tried to ask, In terms of technology, whether it's blacksmithing or manual work, there are always skills!

Hunting Bow was stunned and replied.

It's just a skill...the threshold is too low. Most of the survivors from the Lagrange Mansion are craftsmen. Many people who used to live on the TV station can sing and blacksmith. The survivors in the Sixin District live in different places. Few people are good at fishing and stealing split-claw crab eggs...

Fang Chang wrote down the information silently, and then asked.

What about the others? Like shelter residents?

The residents of the shelter? There is a shelter in Xizhou City, but the Ya clan just came here, they closed the door...

Fang Chang was overjoyed and asked immediately.

What's the number of the shelter? Do you know the exact location?

I remember 101? I don't know the exact location, but I do remember the camp they built on the surface. It seems to be... Hunting Bow scratched the back of his head and told Fang Chang the address.

However, at this moment, a disheveled man suddenly jumped out from the side, and rushed to the feet of everyone.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, before they understood what happened, the man looked at everyone with pleading eyes and said.

You are from the new alliance, right? Please, help me!

What are you doing?! Take your hands away— Hunting Bow was about to drive him away, but was stopped by Lao Bai.

Reaching out to lift the unkempt man from the ground, Lao Bai looked at him and asked.

Get up first and tell me your name.

My name is... Wang Zhong. The man said incoherently.

Okay, Wang Zhong... what trouble did you encounter?

The man who had just calmed down his breathing suddenly became excited again.

My wife is seriously ill. If there is no antibiotics, she may not last long... Please, can I share some medicine and food?

Seeing this man's miserable appearance, Lao Bai couldn't bear to help him. Fang Chang, who was standing aside, instantly guessed what he was going to do, and immediately stopped his hand from reaching for the backpack.

Everyone here needs medicine and food, and if you help him, there will be a second, a third soon.

Lao Bai looked at Fang Chang.

Should we just leave him alone?

Fang Chang said calmly.

Of course not. We will truthfully report the situation here to the manager, and he will decide how to assist the local survivors.

After a pause, he looked at Lao Bai and continued.

There are more than 5,000 people here, and we can't help them at all with our little supplies.

Lao Bai fell into silence.

Reason told him that what Fang Chang said was right, but psychologically it was hard for him to accept it.

To blame can only be blamed for making this game too real.

At this time, the man named Wang Zhong suddenly spoke.

I won't take your things for nothing... I just heard on the radio that you plan to build a survivor colony here, right?

Lao Bai is still watching the translation on the VM.

Fang Chang, who understood this sentence, immediately looked at the man.

Yes, do you have any good ideas?

Seeing the drama, Wang Zhong swallowed and continued, No, but I know... There is a spare controllable fusion reactor hidden underground in Xizhou City.

The moment the voice fell, the expression on Fang Chang's face immediately became serious, and he stared into the man's eyes and asked.

Are you serious?

Wang Zhong nodded vigorously, and swore poisonously.

I can guarantee it with my life! Those blue coats... are the residents of shelter 101, they said it themselves. That reactor is a civil air defense facility built during the Renlian era, specially prepared for the underground transportation network, it is said The output power can reach GM level. They tried to repair the reactor, and they have successfully repaired half of it!

After barely understanding what he said with the help of a translation tool, Fang Chang asked immediately.

How do you know this?

Wang Zhong said immediately.

Because I am a resident of Camp 101! They hired some local people in the camp to help them pick up garbage, build houses, move things, take care of their daily life... in short, do some jobs that they don't want to do. I It was the cook in the cafeteria, they talked about it during the meal, and they joked that when they repaired the reactor, the survivors in the entire Xizhou City would not have to worry about using electricity.

If this reactor really exists, then this statement is really not a joke.

GM-level power generation, compared with reality horizontally, the output power of this reactor alone can kill the total power of many small country power grids in seconds!

It can be said that it is more than enough to meet the electricity needs of tens of thousands of survivors.

Fang Chang looked excitedly at Hunting Bow standing aside.

Although the latter was at a loss for what the king said, he still nodded after hesitating for a moment.

He's telling the truth... Camp 101 did hire some wastelanders living nearby and let them live in their camp. But what kind of reactor is that, I don't know much...

Controlled Fusion Reactor!

Everyone exchanged glances, and excited expressions appeared on their faces in unison.

Although the new alliance currently has high-end energy storage methods such as solid hydrogen, the way of power generation is still backward, even primitive.

If you can master this controllable fusion reactor, the impact on the new alliance industry will undoubtedly be huge!

Fang Chang restrained the excitement in his voice, looked at the man and asked.

Do you know where that reactor is?

Wang Zhong nodded nervously.

I can take you... but you have to heal my wife. And... I need food, food that will keep our family alive.

Fang Chang said with a smile.

Don't worry about that! A batch of supplies will be sent here tonight. Whether it's food or medicine, your reasonable demands will be met!

After leaving this sentence, Fang Chang looked at Hunting Bow standing aside in front of Wang Zhong and said.

The information he possesses is critical, and I need you to ensure the safety of him and his family.

Hope Town has been merged into the new alliance.

I believe that as long as the members of these resistance organizations are not stupid, they will definitely consider the weight of their words carefully.

Sure enough, right after he said these words, the expression on Hunting Bow's face immediately became serious, and he said seriously.

No problem, leave it to me!

Fang Chang nodded and continued.

Also, please spread the word in the town for us. If you have similar information, no matter how big or small it is, please let us know!

Once the value of the information is confirmed, the alliance will definitely reward you!

(Thanks to the leader of Bragging Fatty for the reward!!)
