This Game is Too Real Chapter 502

  The Great Desert is located in the west of Luoxia Province.

  Although it is named after a desert, it is actually not as "desolate" as most wastelanders imagined.

  The concrete buildings that collapsed or were submerged in yellow sand, as well as the rusted warehouses and factories; all of them indicate the prosperity of the past. Even though the rolling yellow sand has been blowing for two centuries, it has not completely submerged this man-made miracle spanning thousands of kilometers.

  Not only that, because the underground ocean current transportation pipelines meet here, a large amount of desalinated seawater penetrates into the underground rock formations due to the rupture of the pipelines, forming a rich groundwater reservoir.

   Therefore, even though there are many meteorological disasters such as earthquakes, sandstorms, radioactive dust, and thundercloud storms here, the species active in this area are more prosperous than the next-door Luoxia Province. The favor left to Luoxia Province at that time was only a few oases, but the situation here is quite the opposite. The remaining favors are even overflowing"Damn...what is that thing"

  The giant snake as thick as an oil barrel swam slowly through the middle of the two collapsed high-rise buildings. The cracked skin was like dry loess, lurking in the soft quicksand like a fallen giant tree.

   Looking at the tens of meters long giant snake wriggling forward in the quicksand, the soldier wearing the exoskeleton took two steps back with a tingling scalp.

  His name is Su Ming, his position is a precision marksman, and the 26 printed on his breastplate and arms is the number of him and his brothers, and is also the symbol of the "26th Commando of the Enterprise".

  As one of the few companies involved in the Battle of Luoxia Province

   team, they mainly perform forward, guerrilla and sabotage missions in war.

  Although most of the residents of Ideal City take all the credit for the victory of the war to their allies, they are not involved in many battles. It's just that it doesn't sound so good in the press release.

   walked to Su Ming's side, Yun Song stared at the giant snake for a second, the box in the tactical eyepiece locked it in the center, and the progress bar walked around the edge of the box.

  "There is no record about it in the database... You found it first, or would you give it a name?"Su Ming touched the back of his head. "Sandworm"

   Yunsong hadn't spoken yet, when Gu Wei, who was wearing power armor, laughed and teased. "It's too earthy, and the desert next door already exists, which is completely different from this guy.""Then... Earth dragon? Big earthworm? Ground worm?""Just dig the ground worm... Don't waste it It's time."

   interrupted the conversation between the two, Yunsong stretched out his index finger and double-clicked in the air, operating the holographic window to save the image data, and then switched to the tactical map. "The target is about a kilometer ahead... Everyone should be vigilant, and we will be able to pick up our employees home soon." "Oh" Su Ming let out a weak voice. They have been on duty for almost a full year.

   Spanning thousands of kilometers of wasteland, it was even involved in the war in Luoxia Province in the middle. In his mind, he kept thinking that he would be able to make a movie when he went back. Under Yunsong's order, the 26th Assault Squad continued to operate. Led by android soldiers and drones, the group walked along the broken concrete road for a while, carefully avoiding large areas of quicksand and several areas with abnormal life signals.

   At this time, there was new news from the signal trooper. Yun Song raised his right fist to signal the team to stop at the gate of an abandoned factory.

   So far, they are only the last 300 meters away from the mutant tribe. On the abandoned building in the distance, you can even see the camouflage bunker piled with garbage, and the mutant whistle with binoculars standing guard.

  "!!! The mission status update is good news. The Alliance has decided to send airships to support our operations before withdrawing troops." After hearing this, many people were relieved.

   They didn't bring everyone on this trip, and more than 30 logisticians and 20 soldiers stayed at the campsite.

   Relying on ten power armors, thirty sets of exoskeletons, and less than thirty android soldiers, without heavy firepower support, it is still somewhat difficult to kill a tribe of mutants that are ten times their size.

   Even if they can win, they will suffer no small casualties. The mutants in the great desert don't just use iron-barreled rifles. These beasts have mastered semi-automatic and even fully automatic weapons through transactions with the Legion and the Falcon Kingdom.

   Not to mention that they take the **** and **** of the pre-war era and make their own DIY weapons. Those things don't seem to be very reliable, but it's a big loss to underestimate them.

   For example, a mutant they had seen before, with a hot melt ray gun made of the head and spine of the "Pioneer" robot, attacked and even killed one of their power armors.

  These unexpected attacks are hard to guard against. Hearing that the alliance's support was on the way, Su Ming excitedly said "That 400mm heavy artillery" Yun Song nodded.

"Yes...including ground troops, and those unreliable gliders, but we need to confirm that there are no people in the camp before we can decide whether to use an ax or a scalpel." He said, looking at the station Drone operator at the back of the line. "The investigation will be handed over to you.""Received."

A steady-looking man made a gesture, tapped his fist on his shoulder, and the drone backpack behind him bounced off the hatch. The whistling sound of the sky rushed into the sky. The screen was connected to the tactical goggles of the helmet.

  Although the signal is very poor, it can barely be used. Under the control of the drone operator, the quadcopter carefully bypassed the mutant sentry's line of sight, moved to the side of the building, and flew through the twisted rows of steel and concrete debris to the mutant horde's over the sky. The entire tribe is located in an abandoned factory building.

  The shacks made of garbage and the semi-collapsed factory buildings are integrated, and the large iron sheds and dried animal skins block the twisted alleys. However, through the gap in the cover, a coal-like body can still be seen, with bloodthirsty fangs and knotted muscles, they are like orcs in fantasy movies.

   What is chilling is that these animals that drink blood and hair have developed cities by imitating the appearance of humans, and even clarified the social division of labor...

There are residential areas that stink of feces, a arena where violence is vented and mutants are entertained, a blacksmith's department and tool workshops full of the sound of hammering iron, a plantation with unknown fruits, and prisoners. pastures for various livestock

   Overlooking the huge tribe through the camera of the drone, the drone operator only felt scalp tingling.

  Especially when he found the same kind who was imprisoned in the cage at the end that was like a garbage dump, anger rushed to his forehead. "Damn!!!""What's wrong" Hearing his low scolding voice, Yun Song cast a questioning glance at him.

  The drone operator didn't speak, just stretched out his index finger and swiped in the air, and passed the picture he saw to his teammates who were looking at him. The drone's footage is zoomed in.

  I saw a battered body with scars and no strands in the iron baskets made of steel bars.

   Most of the people with a pouty stomach are "lucky", mutants usually don't eat them, and those who fail to bear children for them are miserable. Many of them were tortured, not only had their arms and legs been removed, but the wounds had rotted and grown maggots.

  The mutants themselves have strong resilience, they don't need bandages or anti-inflammatory drugs at all, and naturally they won't bandage the animals that haven't finished eating. Many people sat on the ground with dazed eyes, and they didn't even have the strength to drive away the mosquitoes and flies that were surrounding them. Others remained motionless, wondering if they were dead. On the chopping board not far away, a bare-armed mutant priest was using a primitive and rude way to deliver the human being handcuffed to the chopping board. They don't care if those people die in the process

  The followers of Chaos are never picky eaters, and their stomachs are as strong as their muscles and bones.

The slaves who were kept as livestock may come from the kingdom of falconry, or they may be from honeydew or lions, or even sent by slave traders from farther places... Few people will pay attention, those who disappeared in the war Where did the people end up going.

   Even though he saw a lot of hellish scenes on the march in the wasteland, Su Ming's face still turned pale. That's far more cruel than those imitated predators. The soldier not far from him couldn't help retching. "Those bastards!" Gu Wei clenched the heavy machine gun in his hand, wishing he would rush in and smash them all. "They were originally beasts, when did you think they were not."

   Yunsong operated on the holographic window with a blank face, framed some areas of the camp, and marked the places where there may be living people. After doing all this, he motioned the signal trooper to set up a signal booster, roughly aiming in the direction of the Heart of Steel.

"This is the twenty-sixth commando. We have confirmed the location of the Blackrock mutant tribe. The number of mutants is about 2,000, the same as in the information." "We found survivors in the tribe... We can't get any closer, not sure. Are there any of us in there, I hope not." After a burst of white noise. The answering voice came from the other end of the communication channel.

   "Got it... We have half an hour to arrive, if it's convenient, please help us direct them to a more open area.

  Yunsong turned his attention to two abandoned buildings not far away from next to each other——the previous "digging worm" was passing through there. That's a nice location. Either as a drop point for artillery.

   is still used as a tomb to bury those beasts. "Received, give it to us."

   After finishing the communication, he waved to the soldiers behind him. "Ready to work.""......

   At the same time, on the edge of the desert dozens of kilometers away, a huge steel airship was slowly pushing away from the edge of the rolling yellow sand, heading towards the endless ruins.

   When he first entered Luoxia Province, Chu Guang was once shocked by the endless yellow sand and rolling clouds. So the shock in his heart at this moment can be said to be no less than that at the time.

   even worse

   "Unbelievable... Was this a city before?" Standing on the bridge, Chu Guang overlooked the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and his face was full of surprise. The 100-meter-wide highway stretches straight forward and merges with the high-rise buildings on the horizon. Even if you stand on the airship at a height of 1000 meters, you can't see the end at a glance. The earth is divided into countless grids by the staggered roads and track wreckage, half of which are densely packed buildings and half of which are endless deserts. Perhaps it will take hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, before this piece of land will completely turn into the shape of the Luoxia Province... Standing next to Chu Guang, Wu Changnian narrowed his eyes slightly, his face was not only shocked, but also With a hint of melancholy.

  ...I heard that in the prosperous era, that is, two centuries ago, the great desert was not called the great desert, but the four industrial divisions of the People's Federation. Chu Guang glanced at him and asked in confusion. "Four industrial divisions""Yes."

   Wu Changnian nodded, looking out the window as if caught in the memory of a certain video material, after a pause, he slowly opened his mouth and continued.

  "!!! The Western Industrial Zone is the beginning of all industrial chains, responsible for the production of the most basic raw materials, as well as the rough processing of raw materials transported by the logistics network and space elevators, such as synthetic chemicals, catalysts, alloys, etc."

“The northern industrial area is the logistics warehouse center, responsible for the storage of logistics surplus, the distribution of finished goods, and the transfer of intermediate products and waste materials. There is the highest density of traffic winds in the boom era, whether it is trackless or rail!! In theory, as long as you choose the right vehicle, you can go there from any corner of the planet, and there are also the highest density of office buildings there

"The eastern industrial zone is the end of the industrial chain, and the huge, efficient and dense industrial chain is responsible for processing or assembling raw materials, intermediate products into final products." "As for the southern industrial zone, it is mainly an energy hub. It is like a big The charging plug of No. 1 is used to receive the energy produced by the power generation facilities in outer space.""With the space elevator, the four industrial areas around the space elevator form a complete closed loop of the industrial chain."Chu Guang Surprised.

   "Building an Industrial Center in the Middle of the Continent"

   For him from another world, this sounds a bit counter-intuitive.

   After all, in his hometown, most of the industrial areas are concentrated in the east, especially the coastal areas. There are few inland industrial centers in the west, and the distribution is relatively sparse. Here, however, it seems to be something else entirely. Wu Changnian nodded and continued.

"Yes, here has stable climate conditions, far away from the junction of continental plates, there is no active earthquake and volcanic activity, and unlike the sea or the coast, there is a typhoon from time to time... There is no more suitable place to build a space elevator foundation place."

   As he spoke, his tone could not help but contain a hint of emotion. "At first it was just an elevator, and then the dense transportation network began to extend into low-Earth orbit, gradually becoming a tower, a mountain, and even a larger mountain. Endless and abundant resources poured from space to the surface, and the abundance was amazing The prosperity of that era is hard to imagine in this era, and even the ideal city is just the tip of the iceberg.'

  Wu Changnian also heard that in the original plan, the People's Federation planned to spend another two centuries, centering on the space elevator, to radiate the urban agglomeration to all corners of the Central Continent. Use energy and alloys obtained from space mining to turn the entire planet into a world

  U City.

   That blueprint is the collective dream of everyone throughout the prosperous era, a personal ideal. Ambition and imagination will extend infinitely on this infinitely prosperous planet, and use it as a starting point to spread to the farther galaxy.

   But unfortunately, a war that lasted only three years made all dreams come to nothing. Just when Wu Changnian was reminiscing about the past, Chu Guang, who was standing beside him, hadn't recovered from the huge blueprint.

  Although what he can see with the naked eye is not bragging, he still can't figure out how this huge industrial center was placed in the center of the continent. "Where does the industrial water come from"

   Wu Changnian was stunned for a while, but he didn't expect his focus to be here, and then said with a smile. "Isn't there an underground ocean current pipeline? What do you think the Great Rift Valley did before?" Chu Guang suddenly came back to his senses.

   He seems to have vaguely heard before that the existence of the Great Rift Valley is to store the surplus energy generated by the controllable fusion power station, and the specific way to achieve this is to electrolyze seawater. As for by-products such as surplus chlorine, sodium and various metal elements precipitated from seawater, they will be packaged and sent to industrial areas for processing. It turned out that the underground ocean current pipeline was not only built for the Great Rift Valley, but also for the purpose of transporting industrial water to the center of the continent. The power of that era was even more terrifying than he imagined!!! Chu Guang was shocked, Also got a tingling scalp

Especially when I think of the coercion that I pretended to be, and the "cake" drawn for Yin Fang, Heya, Vanus and other survivors... How can this special be back to the greatness of the prosperous era? Mobilization Seven billion players is not enough!

What's more, it is obvious that the formation field can't hold so many people... Otherwise, it would be unreasonable that the first-generation managers would set up a lot of rules and give him an activation code in a planned way. I don't know what Chu Guang was thinking at this moment, Wu Changnian laughed He smiled and continued.

"Of course, the solid hydrogen underground in the Great Rift Valley is a strategic reserve, which is usually not used. The main supply of industrial water is the southern industrial area. It is not only an energy hub, but also responsible for seawater desalination and sewage recycling... I'm not too professional, I just looked at it from the database. If you want to understand how the whole system works, you have to ask an expert in this field.

"In short, the four major industrial zones account for more than 60% of the GDP of the People's Federation, and the highest peak is said to have reached 70%. ""So please remember, no one knows what will be in Vault 0. , we'd better be careful and arrange the candidates carefully." Hearing that cautious tone, Chu Guang also nodded with a serious expression. "I will arrange for a shelter resident Wu Changnian with outstanding perception ability to nod in approval."That's the best. "

   He had heard about the per capita Awakened in Vault 404.

Although he believes in Al and machines more than the unstable biological factor of awakening, in previous wars, the Alliance has proved that people are not defeated by machines under certain circumstances, and can even create miracles that machines cannot match. Bringing two more reliable experts is not a bad thing.

   And this is why he was able to persuade the enterprise and the legion to help the alliance "inexperienced in excavation of ruins" to win two places. There is only one access card.

  According to the description of the employee named Luo Hua, the elevator they found that can lead to Vault 0 is not very big, and the number of people who can go down at one time is limited...

   Just then, the bridge door was pushed open.

  Vanus came in from outside, gave a military salute, and said neatly.

The 26th commando of the enterprise came to the news that they have confirmed the coordinates of the Blackrock mutant tribe, but they are not sure whether there are employees of the enterprise among the slaves imprisoned by the mutants. To Vanus, Chu Guang said seriously, "Is there a new battle plan?" Vanus nodded.

  "The battle plan is a frontal attack, we have informed the 26th Commando that fire support will arrive in half an hour, and they intend to attack in half an hour and lure enemy units to their recommended shelling coordinates."

"Very good, just follow this plan,"Chu Guang nodded, paused for a moment, then continued to order, "Let the gun positions of the airship prepare firepower, and at the same time let the Burning Corps stand by on the lower deck, ready to support our ally."

   "Yes!" After giving a neat military salute, Vanus turned and walked out of the bridge. Withdrawing his gaze from his back, Wu Changnian looked at Chu Guang with grateful eyes. "Thank you for your attention to our staff."Chu Guang said with a faint smile.

   "You're welcome, the crew of the Trailblazer are not only our friends, but also kind to us."

   Without that epoch-making machine tool, the subsequent industrialization would not have progressed so smoothly. No matter how big the brains of the little players are, there must be something to turn their ideas into reality.

   Although it was a deal that each took what he needed, he knew very well that the other party actually took care of them, otherwise he would not acquiesce to them so much wool. When he parted with Captain Lu Yang, he said that he would remember this favor, and now is the time to pay it back. ...But then again, was that person from Willant just now? "Wu Changnian suddenly mentioned something as if he had thought of something. "Well, yes. "

   Seeing that Chu Guang's reaction was so indifferent, Wu Changnian couldn't help but ask "Is it really okay"

   He reminded the young leader to be careful with every Willant. Looking at the slightly worried gaze, Chu Guang said indifferently "He stayed voluntarily."

   Long before he went to Luoxia Province, Chu Guang talked to Vanus about this issue. If he felt embarrassed about fighting with the legion, he could stay in Qingquan City, and he would not force a person to participate in a war he did not want to participate in.

   Objectively speaking, the officers Vanus trained for the alliance and contributed to the alliance's construction of a command system in the early days of his business were enough to repay his "debt". After the war, he could return to his homeland as a prisoner of war in exchange, like other captives, and no one would ever know that he had served for the Alliance.

However, after hearing his proposal, Vanus not only resolutely refused the only chance to go home, but even stood magnanimously in front of the two captives, Finold and McClen, who were destined to be exchanged. own loyalty to the alliance.

   And the reason he gave made Chu Guang silent for a long time.

"!!!! I've spent a year thinking about the meaning of this war and yet we seem to get nothing but hatred and death. My troops were pointlessly slaughtered in the south by my officers and His subordinates vanished into ashes in the north, and I didn't have any regrets at the moment of failure, but felt a sense of relief."

  "I don't think His Majesty the Marshal is wrong, and I don't think General Klaas is stupid. Maybe if we continue on their path, we can really lead to a better future, but we don't understand it right now."

"As General Klaas always said, we are heinous criminals, and all of us will be nailed to the pillar of shame by future generations, but they will thank us for leaving them a vast and boundless world. There are only Willands in that world, and the Willantes will not hate the Willands, and the tragedies that happened in the past...whether two hundred years ago or more distant past, will not be repeated.

"But with you, I see another possibility that we haven't imagined, maybe there is a kind of unity beyond blood in this world... As Yuu said, we are all survivors, whether it is a sanctuary. Residents, or wastelanders outside. It is not one of us who should be wiped out, but the savagery raging in the wasteland."

"War is a job for me, and unfortunately it's the only thing I can do. But if it makes a little bit of sense here with you, please let me be by your side Keep going."

   At the same time, on the lower deck, the flashing signal lights had already conveyed the battle order.

  A player who is eager to try has already put on the exoskeleton, took the most elite equipment, and brought enough ammunition. This time to pick up an old friend home.

   And it was an open military operation under the watchful eye of the three forces of the legion, the company, and the academy.

Everyone is ready to show off in front of the old ones, and show the new governor of the Willands, whether they have lost right or not"Brothers! This time the opponent is a mutant People! Back at 76th Street, our friends from the East Coast caught us, and this time it's our turn to get them." Walked up to a group of good brothers.

  Old Bai, who was wearing a dragoon power armor, glanced around at the imposing brothers, and said loudly in a loud voice. "There is only one purpose of action - ""No one left"

   There was a deafening cry from the hatchway leading to the deck, and even the alloy floor shook violently under the burning fighting intent. "Oh oh oh ""Kill all those beasts"
