This Game is Too Real Chapter 205

   Chapter 205 Relocation Plan and Reinforcement

   "Is the battle situation so tense?"

   Staring at the dark blue power armor on Chu Guang's body, Ye Xiao, whose mouth couldn't keep his mouth shut, couldn't help but muttered in a low voice.

   Didn't understand what he meant by this sentence, Du Conglin tilted his head slightly and questioned.

"Do you mean?"

   "Put this on early in the morning," Glancing at the power armor, Ye Xiao smacked his lips and said, "In my case, I wouldn't be walking around the house wearing such a bulky guy."

   I wear it when I go out.

   Doru, who was walking beside him, couldn't help laughing.

   "Hehe, do you have one?"

   Ye Xiao glared at him and was about to say something when the manager's voice came from in front.

"We have arrived."

  This is the reception room of the outpost. They came here yesterday and watched a "movie" at the invitation of old Luca.

   After asking everyone to sit down, Chu Guang walked in front of them.

  Because he was wearing power armor, he did not sit down with everyone, but chose to stand and talk.

   "Regarding the relocation, my subordinates should have conveyed our suggestion to you last night. I would like to know what your thoughts are."

   The room was quiet for a while.

  Brown was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head and said.

   "Is this a negotiation or an ultimatum?"

  Chu Guang looked at him and said.

   "Of course it's the former. Even if you have your own plans, as long as you don't rely on our enemies, we won't do anything to interfere."

The phrase    has another meaning.

   That is, we will also not be responsible for your safety, let alone send reinforcements when you are attacked.

   The survivors present exchanged glances, their faces slightly embarrassed.

   Seeing the concerns on their faces, Chu Guang continued.

   "I know what you are worried about, such as whether you will be treated unfairly by relying on others, or whether we will keep our promise to keep you safe."

"It's human nature to have these worries. My subordinates did not make a promise to you for me out of strict consideration. Here, I make a promise to you as the manager of Vault 404. Survivors of Long Term Farm will be fairly protected by Vault 404 law and live in dignity under our order."

  When they heard Chu Guang say these words, the survivors sitting in the reception room whispered and whispered.

   Some people have already moved, and some people are still swaying, but it is obvious that the attitude has been shaken.

   As Chu Guang said, as outsiders, they worry about two things.

   One is whether he can be treated fairly, and the other is whether his own safety can be guaranteed "as promised".

  For now, don't worry about the first point, these blue jackets are even taken in by nomads, and there is no reason to treat them differently.

   As for the second point, let alone.

  Although I don't have a more intuitive understanding of the strength of the residents of these shelters, they even have power armor, so I think they are at least not weak.

  It's not a bad thing to be attached to the strong, as long as it's worth it.

   At least for those smaller, decentralized survivor gatherings, having a lap is far better than being an orphan to fend for yourself.

   However, a proposal that is friendly to other survivors may not be so good to a landlord.

   The ambiguous expressions on the faces of other survivor representatives around him made Brown feel a little nervous.

   If everyone other than yourself accepts the olive branch from Vault 404, does your opinion still matter?

   He could almost foresee what would happen to him.

  The ghost knows if these blue jackets will take the opportunity to settle their previous payment of protection money to the Bloody Hand clan, and copy his house before the Bone-biting Tribe targets them.

  No one can guarantee that such a thing will not happen.

   "Will you keep your promise?" Looking at Chu Guang, Brown said nervously, "I've heard that you invaded Bate Street."

Brown regretted the sentence    as soon as he said it, but it was too late to take it back.

   The survivors in the room whispered.

   didn't care about those voices, Chu Guang looked at Brown without hesitation, and the moment the latter met his gaze, he avoided his eyes in fear.

   "Invasion? If you've been there, you wouldn't say such things."

"Once our people arrived on Bate Street, the residents of Bate Street took the initiative to open the gates and welcomed us. We ended the rule of a vampire and returned the street to their people, allowing them to live in a new order. Now they don't have to endure the exploitation of the old mayor, and they don't have to dig up their own flesh to try to feed a pack of jackals that can never be fed."

   "I prefer to call it liberation than invasion."

  The reception room was silent.

   When hearing the second half of Chu Guang's words, many of the survivors' faces flushed red, and invariably they showed embarrassed expressions.

   To dig up his own flesh and blood to try to feed a pack of jackals that can never be fed. Isn't that what they are talking about?

   If it wasn't for the protection fee for the Bloody Hand clan, they wouldn't have to live so hard this winter.

   "You and your inhabitants are a noble bunch, I never doubted."

  Du Conglin looked at Chu Guang and continued with a solemn tone.

   "Bone-biting vanguard has arrived at the boundary of Qingquan City, and the crisis is imminent. The current situation does not allow us to disagree any more. Our Morrowind community is willing to accept your resettlement, and thank you very much for your willingness to take in us."

   "Me too," Ye Xiao, who was sitting next to him, also raised his hand, "One hundred residents of Highway Town, there is no objection to this!"

   The other survivors also nodded, expressing their acceptance.

  Brown originally wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't dare to speak again, holding back the words that had already reached his lips.

   Only Doru couldn't help but whispered.

   "Can you tell me the specific resettlement plan... I mean, property."

  Chu Guang looked at him and said.

   "Sure, that's what I'm going to say next. I'll convince you that it's not a bad thing to accept our placement."

   Having said that, Chu Guang took out a map and drew a circle in the northern part of Linghu Lake and Yumu District, enclosing a large area of ​​land.

"It is ten kilometers from the northern part of Linghu Lake to Yumu District, and the usable land area exceeds 100,000 mu. I have visited this area before. It is rich in fresh water resources and fertile soil, which is a good place for farming. Although there are Mutated jackals, mutated hyenas and even claw crabs and other xenomorph activities, but it's not a big problem, our patrol team will solve these troubles for you."

"I hope you can relocate to Changchang Farm, where the guards and the fence can guarantee your safety to the greatest extent. In the coming year, I will give you some land for cultivation. In addition, the forest farm in Yumu District will also be Open to you, it's a natural hunting ground and one of our main sources of meat right now."

"Your property is all your own, we will not take any action, there are only two things you need to pay attention to, one is to obey our laws, and the other is to use our currency on our turf. If there is any problem If so, it can be brought up now.”

   Hearing this, Brown immediately asked.

   "What about slaves? Slaves are part of our property, but your laws don't seem to recognize slaves."

   Guessing that someone would ask this question, Chu Guang decisively moved out the set of rhetoric he had already thought of.

"Vault 404 advocates equality. We advocate employment and prohibit anyone from enslaving others in any form. Of course, we will not ask you to give up your ownership of slaves for free. You can free them voluntarily or sell them to us. Here, a young adult from 16 to 35 years old can exchange 5 mu of arable land, and the rest will be counted as 3 mu of land.”

   "They will be incorporated into the pioneering team as semi-free people, and together with our captives, they will undergo ideological transformation in labor, and after a period of time, they will be reintegrated into our society as free people."

   It is unrealistic to expect these wastelanders to understand the benefits of the employment system and consciously free slaves. They neither have that ideological awareness, nor do they have this realistic foundation in the wasteland.

   Swapping heads for fields is a good idea.

   This is the method that Chu Guang summed up from practice when dealing with refugee issues.

Some refugees who held slaves, although they resisted handing over the slaves in their hands, would rather kill them than let them go, but when they learned that the slaves could be exchanged for land, they immediately handed over the shackles with joy on their faces. A rope around a slave's neck.

   Only when they have land can they settle down, and when they have a home, they can get rid of their status as refugees and no longer have to live a precarious life of wandering.

   As for Chu Guang, he happened to have a large area of ​​land waiting for people to open up wasteland. It would not be a problem to set aside a little wasteland, but it could reduce his workload.

   After those refugees have land, they will immediately change from time bombs that endanger order to shields that maintain order.

   Of course, when it came to the land issue, Chu Guang did not take the initiative to mention the "tax".

Now is the early stage of the business. He needs people to make the cake bigger. It is meaningless to charge one or two poor silver coins. Anyway, the money in their hands is distributed by themselves. It is better to let them flow in the market and drive the economy. develop.

   When long-term farms have developed, the wasteland outside the farms has become saturated, and the originally worthless land has become valuable, and tax collection is a natural thing.

   After listening to Chu Guang's answer, Brown silently made a calculation in his heart.

   The slaves themselves are not valuable, and in winter they are even completely negative assets. They don't want them to freeze to death and starve to death, and they have to spend food and fuel to support them.

   He has more than 20 serfs in his hands, and if all of them are replaced by land, he can exchange more than 60 mu.

   This arable land may be a little less than the land he has now, but the manager's attitude towards the land gave him a glimmer of hope.

  The location of his farm is not very good. It is too close to the city, and the cost of land reclamation is too high. He has not expanded the planting area for many years.

   If he can buy some more land from the manager, he might be able to own a bigger farm than before.

   Of course, this is not without risk.

  No one has really dealt with these blue jackets, and no one can guarantee that they will obey the rules and will not kill the donkey after taking over their property.

  Brown weighed in his mind.

   At this time, the night owl from Highway Town asked.

   "What about weapons? Do you also need to hand them in?"

  Chu Guang replied.

   "Guns are prohibited in settlements, and there are no restrictions outside settlements. Private armed forces who stay in our jurisdiction for a long time need to be registered, and their business and business projects must comply with our laws, and there are no other restrictions."

   None of the survivors here spoke.

   These conditions may sound harsh, but at least they survive.

   Seeing that no one was talking, Chu Guang continued to speak.

   "If there are no other questions, then the above is all the things you need to know about the relocation work."

   "We will provide you with a resident handbook later, which contains all the things you need to pay attention to in our gathering place, you can understand it as our law."

"In addition, I hope that the relocation work can start as soon as possible. According to the information sent by our investigation team from the front line, the reinforcements of the Chewing Bone Tribe have arrived in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City, and are now about 16 kilometers northeast of us. Will they do something irrational?"

   noticed that the faces of the survivors changed slightly and became restless. Chu Guang paused and continued.

   "I'm not sure if any of you live around there, and if so, you'd better inform them to take shelter as soon as possible—"

Before the    voice could finish, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the reception room.

   There was a knock on the door.

   After getting permission, a guard walked into the house quickly, gave a military salute to Chu Guang, and reported with a serious expression.

   "Lord Manager, according to the news from Changchang Farm, we saw a lot of smoke in the northeast direction... It seems that something is burning!"

   Hearing this sentence, Chu Guang was stunned.

  What the hell?

  Is this crow's mouth open? !

   There was an ominous premonition in his heart, Chu Guang said immediately.

   "Can you determine the exact location?"

   "Our captain's wrench has already sent someone over there to check the situation, we can only speculate about the approximate location..."

   At Chu Guang's instruction, the guard stepped forward, stared at the map hanging on the wall for a while, and drew a circle on it with charcoal.

   Looking at the circled position, Ye Xiao, who was closest to the map, was slightly taken aback, and blurted out subconsciously.

   "Winter Willow Camp?"

  Chu Guang was the first to hear this word.

   However, judging from the reactions of other survivors around, they were obviously no strangers to this place name, and looked at the slender man sitting in the crowd.

  Chu Guang also looked at him.

   That person's presence is very low, and he hasn't said a word from the start of the relocation work conference to the present.

  The sudden bad news made his face lose its blood color, white like the snow on the ground outside the door, his lips trembled uncontrollably, and his dilated pupils were filled with fear.

"Do not!"

   Northeast of the outpost, open field.

  Two heavy bikes were struggling to move forward on the snow.

   Some places where the snow is not very deep are fine, but if you slide it with your feet, you can barely ride it. In the kind of snow where even the wheels are buried, it can only be pushed down.

   "Bikes are useless in this horrible weather, why don't you send us a few sleds!" Ye Shi couldn't help complaining as he stepped on the pedals laboriously.

   Gu Feng, who was sitting in the back seat, looked at the VM screen and asked casually.

   "Can you ski?"

   "No! But I can learn!"

   Fang Chang, who was sitting behind quit smoking, was also brushing the VM, and casually inserted a sentence: "I know a little bit, this terrain is still a bit difficult to slide, unless you raise two huskies to run in front."

   Ye Shi glanced at him.

   "Damn, how can you do anything?"

   Fang Chang thought for a while and said.

   "emmm... maybe it's because I'm too busy?"

   The north wind howls.

   blows people into a trance.

   couldn't help yawning, and Ye Shi whispered something.

   "This game is too real... the game characters will get sleepy."

   Gu Feng, who was sitting in the back, nodded.

   "Well, it's really outrageous. I already have the fatigue debuff here, but the 5% debuff effect is not obvious... Wait, it seems to trigger a new mission."

   As soon as he heard that there was a new task, Ye Shi, who had not been sluggish a second ago, suddenly became energetic.

   "What mission?!"

   Fang Chang who also stared at the VM screen followed suit.

   "I also received... a mission requesting us to go to the Winter Willow Camp one kilometer away to support the survivors there, prevent the looters from getting supplies from the local area, and buy time for the reinforcements to arrive."

   Winter Willow Camp?

   What the **** is that?

  Drag the map with your long index finger and find a green tent icon on the map.

The    icon is located in a forest that no player has explored, so they don't know anything about what's going on there. However, judging from the pre-war map, it should be a forest park or something, with a ranger's hut and a tourist rest area.

   In short, it's a place where birds don't shit.

Gu Feng touched the bridge of his nose and said calmly: "...Additionally, the number of enemy units is unknown, it is best to be prepared to encounter elite monsters or even trigger a boss battle. Fortunately, the battlefield is in the forest, which is half of our home field. ."

  Hum hum hum, the quit smoking brother who was pedaling a bicycle, was completely speechless and shouted out of breath.

   "Brother, give me a direction, do you want to turn around?"

   Staring at the VM screen and thinking for a moment, Fang Chang said.

   "No, just go in the current direction. I will tell you in advance where you need to turn right... Tsk, there is a time limit for this mission."

   is surrounded by woods, the terrain is ups and downs, it is difficult to find a suitable sniping point, the terrain on the west side is relatively high, but it will take some time to get around there.

   Fang Chang already had a plan in mind.

   The strong wind patted Ye Shi on the shoulder and urged.

   "The mission fails after 30 minutes, please hurry up, can you learn to quit smoking?"

   Ye Shi cursed.

   "Hey! Why is Lao Tzu a perception system, can this be compared to a constitution system?!"

   Looking at the expanse of white snow in front of him, Fang Chang sighed silently in his heart.

   "It would be nice if the motorcycles could be straightened out."

   Think about it carefully, the road conditions on the wasteland, the four-wheeled vehicle is not easy to run, and the two-wheeled motorcycle is simply an artifact! It can also be used as a sleigh boat in winter.

   The only pity is that the difficulty of the engine is a little high.

   I hope Brother Toilet Suo and Brother Levine from No. 81 Factory can give us some help!

   "What a big smoke in front!" Quit smoking suddenly shouted, "Do you want to turn a corner?"

   "I can see with my eyes, so speak softly!"

   Fang Chang couldn't help but complained and took off the compound bow from his back.

While    was talking, there was a faint sound of gunfire in the distance, and the distance was not very far, just in the forest in front.

   Fang Chang made a decisive decision and said.

   "Stop."

   "Gu Feng and Ye Shi go to the high **** on the west side, quit smoking and follow me, close the insurance, and remember not to get caught!"

   "Contact the enemy within 700 meters, and we will walk on the rest of the way!"
