This Game Is Too Realistic

Today is January 1, 2342 in the old calendar, and January 1, 213 in the Wasteland Era. The following is the important news of the Alliance today.

The New Year's Eve event came to a successful conclusion, and all settlements in the alliance held grand celebration ceremonies that night to celebrate the arrival of the new year...

The City Hall of the Giant Rock announced that it will lift the curfew from today, and the blockade of the gates of the giant wall will also be officially lifted from today. At the same time, the city entrance tax levied for the construction of the giant wall will be cancelled, and the height of the giant wall will be reduced. no more.

On the other hand, in order to deal with the impact of the turmoil in the Qingquan City area, a volunteer team of 200 people composed of teachers, medical staff, biologists and engineers has arrived at Shuguang City North Airport from Ideal City.

The manager stated in his New Year's Eve speech that improving the living standards of residents is still the focus of the Alliance's work in the new year. Currently, the registered population of the Alliance has exceeded the million mark. In addition to the affordable housing and rail transit under construction, the Alliance There will also be 12 new full-time schools, and eight social support facilities...”

Daily Survivor Radio has you covered!

The firewood crackled in the fireplace.

The warm temperature makes people drowsy, as if even the sound of the radio and the ticking of the wall clock have been stretched.

This is Dust Town, located on the edge of the ruins of Jinhe City in Jinchuan Province. It is seven or eight hundred kilometers away from Qingquan City, which is equivalent to the distance from Jiangcheng to Mountain City in reality.

Since Boulder City joined the alliance, the alliance has recently built several new signal stations, and many broadcasting stations, including Survivor Daily, have added medium-wave and short-wave signal bands.

Although there are special climates such as radiation clouds on the wasteland, which will affect the electromagnetic wave signal, this interference is not absolute.

Now Jinchuan province can also hear some voices from the alliance intermittently.

so good.

Listening to the content on the radio, I think Jing Jing has a little fascination on her face.

For the New Year's Eve event, I heard that anyone who participates will have a red envelope. The minimum prize is 6 silver coins, and the maximum prize is a Dragoon Powered Armor.

And it's the kind with no level restrictions!

Pity……

This event is only available within the Alliance.

There are only three players in the entire Dust Town. Although the locals were dragged by them to hold a sacrificial activity, the food as tribute was only poor.

He distributed the unfinished tribute to the children in the village. He didn't go online at all last night, so he went offline and ordered a takeaway to enjoy.

Sighing, he quietly looked at the lizard curled up by the fireplace and yelled.

Hey, trash brother.

Picking up garbage Level 99 buckled his buttocks, changed his posture and lay down, and lazily replied.

What are you doing?

I couldn't help but say quietly.

We've been in this poor place for half a year, how long are we going to stay!

We agreed to go south together.

As a result, the other two guys stayed here.

Garbage Jun said with a smile.

No hurry, no hurry, the 'Naguo' matter has not been resolved yet, we can't leave those villagers alone, can we?

According to the information on the official website, it has been confirmed that Naguo and Emerald Fruit are the same thing, suspected to come from the Nanyang Islands, and flowed into the southern part of the Central Continent through the port of the Dead Coast.

Jinchuan Province is one of the most affected provinces.

Combined with the predictions about the next version on the official website, Mr. Garbage and Brothers who are in trouble agree that there is some kind of ulterior conspiracy behind that Naguo.

So they decided to stay.

On the one hand, observe the situation of the user in the village, and on the other hand, send some observed samples back to the biological research institute in the alliance.

At the same time, monitor the movement of the mutant tribe called Qi.

However, several months have passed, and neither Naguo nor the mutant tribe has made any new moves. I think Jing Jing feels a little impatient.

They haven't had any progress for months!

It's fine if you don't continue going south, at least form a team and go home to save a file!

Looking at the laid-back garbage gentleman, I think Jingjing couldn't help but complain.

You don't think you are addicted to God, do you?

Jun Jun was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

Hahaha, how come!

That smile was somewhat false.

I think Jingjing couldn't help rolling her eyes.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the sound seemed to come from the floor.

Guessing who came, he sighed, got up from the chair covered with blankets, walked over and opened the door.

A knee-high fat mouse slipped in from the outside, and the cold wind that was swept into the house together made Mr. Garbage shrank his neck uncontrollably.

Something went wrong.

As soon as she heard that something had happened, Jing Jing suddenly became excited, and Jun Jun, who was lying on the edge of the fireplace warming up, was no longer sleepy, so Ma Liu got up and came over.

what's up?!

Tell me!

Seeing the excited expressions of the two companions, Qiang RenZuoNan cleared his throat and said mysteriously.

Didn't I keep staring at Hope Town all this time? There were some magic sticks there yesterday.

I wanted to be silent for a while.

God stick?

Well, anyway, they are pastors or apostles. I thought there was something wrong with those people, so I quietly followed them in and eavesdropped on their conversation, and talked a lot. In short, the light of the sky fire will soon shine on this area. The earth corrupted by chaos, all sins will be cleansed, embrace the glorious evolution to join the kingdom of God away from all suffering and pain... Then they asked the locals to build a church for their holy son.

I wanted to ask quietly.

What does evolution mean...

This was the only keyword he understood.

The strong man shook his head.

I don't know, maybe it's Naguo. At first I thought Naguo was made by mutants, but I didn't expect it to be the trick of those guys from the south...

As he spoke, he stretched out a finger to dip the snow on his hair, and drew two upside-down triangles on the floor.

The symbol is painted on their robes.

Mr. Garbage took a closer look, and gradually frowned.

torch?

Strongman nodded.

Well, the Church of the Torch.

I wanted to touch the back of my head quietly, and said with some incomprehension.

Actually... I don't quite understand why you are so focused on that Torch Church. As long as they don't cause trouble, it doesn't really matter what you believe in.

It seems that many people in the Alliance believe in the Great Horned Deer God, and most of the survivors in Luoxia Province also believe in their Sand Sea Spirit.

When there are no laws to restrain people's words and deeds, faith can play a little role.

Although the Torch Project is not a good thing, the Church of the Torch and it seem to have nothing to do with it except that the symbols are very similar.

He is a newcomer in test B, and what happened in test A is not well understood.

The strong man glanced at him.

What if there are mutants among the missionaries?

I wanted to be silently stunned.

Mutant?!

Don't mutants treat people like food?

What belief is so popular that mutants can be assimilated! ?

Jun Jun grinned and said.

Even if there is no such thing, it is impossible for us to let them go. I have not forgotten that during the Bones Rebellion, the Legion and the Free State provided weapons to the group of plunderers, and they provided faith to the group of plunderers And high technology, the earliest batch of neural connection equipment of the Alliance was seized from them.

The entire central part of the River Valley Province was almost wiped out by these guys. Many residents of the alliance are survivors of that catastrophe, and this account will be settled sooner or later.

The strong man frowned and said: I don't know what they plan to do, but I have a bad feeling...and if the surrounding settlements believe in that torch, what about the big-horned rat and big-horned deer god?

When I heard the first half of the sentence, I thought Jing Jing was still thinking about it seriously, but when I heard the second half of the sentence, I almost didn't choke on my own saliva.

...You are just worried that you will be kicked out of the altar!

Junk Jun coughed and ignored his complaints.

In any case...it involves the Torch Church, this matter can't be sloppy, I'll go to the official website first to ask everyone's opinions.

What he was really afraid of was another thing.

Perhaps it wasn't that the Church of the Torch assimilated the mutants, but those lunatics used some method to turn people into mutants in a planned way, and made the land here suitable only for mutants to survive.

Ordinary people and animals will produce hallucinogenic effects after long-term consumption of naguo, and enter a state called fugue.

For mutants, however, Nago seems to have only the good side. They will grow stronger and have a greater chance of fighting and breeding.

The tribe of mutants who depended on plundering for a living was at most a hundred people, but the mutants in the desert had learned to plant, breed, and mastered the social division of labor, and only then did they increase their number to more than a thousand.

But here, the tribe of mutants called Qi has a scale of more than ten thousand!

It is impossible to maintain such a large population only by relying on primitive breeding methods.

His intuition told him that there might be some terrible conspiracy brewing in this land...

Closing his amber eyes, the God of Lizards in Dust Town hurriedly went offline to the official website.

Jing Jing opened his mouth, and just about to say something, a sudden knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

He walked over and opened the door, only to see the village head standing at the door, speaking nervously.

My lord, I'm sorry to disturb you... There are guests at the entrance of the village.

Quietly asked with a frown.

Guest? What guest?

It's winter now, and there are almost no peddlers wandering around outside, and some peddlers go straight to their destinations for safety reasons. It's not that the supplies are running out, and they won't go near those settlements that don't look too rich. .

The village head lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully.

That guy claims to be the servant of the Holy Son, talking nonsense, insisting that we are blinded by barbarism, and he wants to save us from suffering...

As he spoke, the old man clenched his fists and cursed angrily.

I told them all, we have our own beliefs, and we don't need their fallacies, let alone their Naguo!

Jing Jing met the fat mouse behind him.

Good guy!

Did it all come here?

This speed is too fast!

...

Wasteland OL official website.

The forum is still as happy and lively as ever.

[Event Announcement: The New Year's Eve event has ended successfully!

Judging results in the Boulder City competition area: The most popular delicacy among players is Cream Leech Mushroom Soup, the most popular delicacy among wastelanders is Marshmallow, and the most popular delicacy among managers is Beef Corn Fried Burritos! 】

[Update: Added Mercenary Guild system]

[Description: Some commissions from the Merchant Guild have been transplanted to the Mercenary Guild. Now players can register as mercenaries and receive tasks through VM. 】

Tail: Whoa, mercenary guild! My mercenary guild! Obviously I came up with it first! QAQ

Quit smoking: Haha! Ah Guang copied the forum for real! (smirk)

Sisi: Move your head, Awei is not crying, we can get one outside the alliance.

Guigui: Oh! Our cotton candy was selected!

Feng Qing: Okay, the limited title has been unlocked! Hehe, happy!

Ye Shi: Damn it, why is it sweet again! Last year it seemed to be sweet too! Do these wastelanders like sugar so much! (Crazy)

Tomato scrambled eggs: That's right! Why can't our braised warship shrimp work! It's so delicious! T.T

Ye Shi: The worst thing is, Fang Chang's wife only gave us an 8!

Fang Chang: You guys... I insisted on looking at my face, I chose a group of beautiful girls as judges, and I blamed them for their sweet tooth. (Squint eyes)

Last night, he took Dolly to patronize the stalls of the brothers, and ordered a big pot to save face.

But because it was too oily, Dolly didn't eat two bites, and all the shrimps that were peeled ended up in his stomach.

Out of 10 points, 8 points is actually a lot.

However, since the final score of the event is not a simple average score or the accumulation of scores, but is calculated according to a specific formula, the favorable rating and the number of judges attracted are very important weight values, and only one high score is obviously very important. Hard to win.

Although the throttle warship prawns with a heavy oily smell did attract a lot of customers, but last night there were marshmallows floating all over the street.

But that thing doesn't take up your stomach, even if you are full, you can still have two mouthfuls.

With so many buffs superimposed, the outcome seems to have been doomed from the very beginning...

Ye Shi: Hiss... that's hasty!

Lao Bai: Hahaha, I get it, next time I'll choose a few from my drinking buddies! Make some snacks or something! (smirk)

Fujiteng: Hey, but having said that, seeing Xiaoyu happily soaking in marshmallows is really healing. ( @` @)

Yaya: Yes~

Ye Shi: !!! I vote for Xiaoyu!

There are really mosquitoes in WC: Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooones, i want to raise one too!

Tail: @Guang, Uncle Policeman, this is the man! (｀)Ψ

There are really mosquitoes in WC: Damn! I'll just say hello! (Frightened)

Irena: Make a record bro. (funny)

WC really has mosquitoes: %￥#@!

Picking up garbage level 99: Big news! There seems to be some movement in the expansion pack in the south!

Fang Chang: What's happening?

Picking up trash level 99: A few apostles from the Torch Church have come to Dust Town to preach! They have already stretched their hands to a place only more than 800 kilometers away from us!

Mole on the run in the canyon: Where is Dust Town...

Picking up trash level 99: Uh, it's the place I told you about before, hehe.

Big eyes in debt: Oh, it's just your village. (Funny)

Construction site boy and Brick: Hey, I think it's a big deal. (Funny)

Picking up trash level 99: Damn! I'm serious!

Lao Bai: Brother Garbage, your settlement is near Jinhe City, right?

Picking up trash level 99: Yes! It's right there!

Lao Bai: Okay, just in two days we have a mission to go to Jinhe City, and take a look at what's going on there by the way. (Show teeth)

Paddle on the edge: Damn! What mission?

Lao Bai: Recover nuclear fuel. (Grind teeth)

Edge paddling: Awesome!!!

Spring Water Commander: Crying with envy! T.T

Lao Bai: Hey, just ask for the supplies!

Picking up trash level 99: Haha, don't worry! We're short of everything here, except for food! By the way, bring us a few bags of seeds and fertilizer. There hasn't been a caravan here for a long time!

Ye Shi: Damn, where are you helping the poor!

Picking up rubbish level 99: What is poverty alleviation! This is called helping the alliance expand its territory!

Elven King Fugui: Isn't it a magic stick? (Funny)

Picking up trash level 99: Hey, that's all bragging, don't take it seriously...

Irena: How did I hear that there are idols. (Funny)

...

In the Boulder city hall, the manager's office.

While the players were discussing on the official website, Chu Guang was holding an investigation report from the Guards Corps.

Long before the snow fell, he asked Lu Bei to withdraw a 100-man team from the Guards and head to Jinchuan Province in the south to collect information about Naguo.

At that time, Nago first appeared at the alliance's celebration.

Although Heya told him that the thing was not as scary as he imagined, he still smelled a hint of conspiracy from it.

The survey results of the Guard Corps and the players' discussions on the forum also just confirmed his previous guess.

It seems that it's not just viruses and bacteria... even the Church of the Torch, mutants, and southern slave owners, these three insignificant garbage, have all been mixed together by this little fruit.

Seeing the end of the report in his hand, Chu Guang couldn't help clicking his tongue.

According to the survey results of the Guard Corps, the sphere of influence of the Torch Church highly overlaps with the planting scope of Naguo!

This is obviously no coincidence!

Taking advantage of the fact that the slave owners in Jinchuan Province lost the grain market in the southern part of River Valley Province, those believers secretly promoted a cash crop called Naguo, and then exported it to the settlements of survivors who could not do without Naguo Torch of Faith.

As for why those survivors were so obedient, the clues that the guards investigated were that the Church of the Torch has an antidote called Holy Water.

As we all know, most people and animals will become more and more docile after long-term consumption of Naguo, and will enter a hallucinogenic state called fugue from time to time.

The specific manifestation is that it loses response to all external stimuli, and is immersed in the illusion of happiness until death, even if it is prey, it will not resist.

Like the wireworm is to the praying mantis.

Considering the characteristics of Naguo, people or animals who enter the state of fugue will become Naguo in another sense, passing the seed along the food chain.

Only mutants, deathclaws and other powerful species that were born in the laboratory can be exempted from Naguo's captives to a certain extent.

The holy water developed by the Torch Church can make people wake up from the fugue state and live in the illusion of happiness soberly.

At first, some slave owners just let the slaves eat Naguo, so that the slaves would become docile and obedient. Later, after realizing the benefits of Naguo, the slave owners themselves began to eat Naguo, and finally willingly offered to the torch holding the holy water The Church offers faithfulness.

And the Torch Church does more than that.

On the one hand, they played the role of shepherds, civilizing the survivor settlements and turning the people there into sheep in the sheepfold.

At the same time, they used the lambs in the sheepfold to bribe the mutants in Jinchuan Province.

Addicts who have entered the fugue state will not break no matter how hard they toss. For brutal mutants, they are not only the most delicious food, but also the best seedbed for reproduction.

This is also a clue discovered by the Guards Corps during the investigation.

Originally, the slave owners of Jinchuan Province were able to compete with the mutants by relying on the weapons produced in the southern part of the River Valley Province.

However, after being infected with Nago, those survivor settlements that had the upper hand almost immediately lost their combat capabilities, and were quickly brought into the sphere of influence by the Church of the Torch.

At the same time, the mutants would hardly invade the survivor colonies that were brought into the sphere of influence by the Church of the Torch, and would withdraw soon after even a brief invasion.

This undoubtedly shows that the Torch Church and the mutants in Jinchuan Province should have reached some kind of tacit understanding, even a contract.

After reading the report on Naguo, Chu Guang immediately looked at another investigation report on the Torch Church.

He had always suspected that there was a relationship between the Torch Church and the Enlightenment Society before, but to his surprise, the findings of the Guards Corps pointed in the opposite direction.

The core of the Torch Project is to destroy the world first and then create the world, and finally realize the rebirth of Nirvana in the sense of civilization.

The teachings of the Church of the Torch are in line with the unfinished Torch Project. They also agree that the world should be destroyed once, but they are completely different from the Enlightenment Society in terms of specific routes.

What they want to build is not a new world ruled by the pre-war elites, but hope that through biological technology, human beings can break out of cocoons and become butterflies in the sense of species——

That is, to incubate the cocoons of new humans with the civilization heritage of old humans!

They don't have efficient neutron killing technology, and they don't expect to be able to remove all species on the surface with one click.

Their real purpose is to use their best biotechnology to make this land suitable only for the survival of life forms defined by themselves in a long-term and slow process.

They promised believers that all survivors who suffered or suffered sins in the old world would receive eternal blessings in the new world.

In human terms, as long as believers work diligently and contribute to the plan of the Torch Church, they can become great gestalt life forms in the new world.

And the so-called Gestalt life form is the root of the Willantes, eight-fold growth clones, and mutants—the singularity technology that was not completed in the pre-war era.

This is undoubtedly a crazy plan.

If the Enlightenment is terrorism against the post-war order and old civilization, then the Church of the Torch is terrorism against old humans in the sense of species.

In the teachings of the Church of the Torch, mutants are interpreted as intermediate products on the road from human beings to Gestalt life forms.

Those vulgar and savage green orangutans are not perfect, both in the sense of aesthetics and in the sense of civilization, but in the teachings of the Church of the Torch, mutants who are better adapted to the wasteland than old humans are still higher than The old humans have a higher starting point than the old humans.

So they will use biological technology to turn some pious believers into noble mutants, giving them unrivaled physical strength and privileges over ordinary human believers—that is, those meek lambs!

However, the upper echelons of the Church of the Torch will not take the initiative to become mutants.

They are still waiting for a more perfect container.

And those middle-level members of the church who have become mutants are also waiting for a better container, ready to transform into a new life form at any time.

...There is no doubt that the Church of the Torch is the most urgent problem at the moment, far more urgent than those criminals in the north.

After reading the report to the end, Chu Guang made a concise evaluation.

I think so too, Lu Bei who was standing next to him nodded, and continued in a deep voice, However, there is one thing that makes me a little concerned. The nuclear fuel that the academy gave us happened to be in Jinhe City. 'The mutant hordes are there too... I suspect those cunning researchers are planning to use us as pawns.

Although it was obvious, Chu Guang still looked at the young man unexpectedly, and smiled approvingly.

Yes, I am glad you can see that.

Lu Bei smiled embarrassedly.

It's all your advice...

Chu Guang smiled faintly, looked at the map hanging on the wall, looked over the Free State and the Great Rift Valley, and landed on the wandering swamp in the north.

Many of us have the impression of the academy as a group of nerds. In fact, those guys are not stupid at all, but very cunning.

They may have more minds than legions and enterprises combined, and they are good at disguising. In order to let us take the bait willingly, they will deliberately pretend to let us take advantage of it. We fought fiercely with the legion in Luoxia Province By then, they would probably have already set their sights on our south side.

Lu Bei frowned.

Sure enough...

Chu Guang nodded.

This is a conspiracy. Even if we know they are using us, at present we can only go in the direction they imagined.

That's a thousand cubic meters of liquid helium three!

A full 127 tons of nuclear fusion fuel!

Whether it's for the alliance's power armor or the fusion reactor in Xizhou City, he must get these energy sources!

Even if it is to help the academy do work again, this generous amount of energy is more than enough as a reward.

Moreover, the Church of the Torch is about to extend its hand to Jinhe City. If the alliance does not take any action, the nuclear fuel may be in the hands of the Church of the Torch.

Averting his eyes from the map, Chu Guang said slowly.

Little Qi.

A vigorous voice came from beside my ear.

Here it is, master.

Without any hesitation, Chu Guang immediately ordered.

Notify the Burning Corps, let them assemble at least a hundred people to stand by in Boulder City, and set off for Jinhe City in Jinchuan Province within three days!

There was also no hesitation in responding to his voice.

receive!
