Shelter No. 79
Or rather, Underground City No. 79.
The flashing fire from the muzzle of the gun moved quickly from the entrance of the shelter along the wide corridor towards the nearest building.
The elevator has been in disrepair for a long time and can only be moved through the stairs of the safe passage.
The corridors hundreds of meters high are covered with moss, and the most deadly are the mutant creatures that shuttle through the corridors.
It's not just one building.
Every building here is the same.
Fortunately, they don't have to fight all the way from the top floor to the surface, they can move along the skybridge between the buildings.
And the manager named Yong has planned the nearest route for them and downloaded it into v. It is enough to move forward along the set path.
But even so, it is not an easy task to "pass the level".
Even if they don't take the initiative to find trouble with those alien species, the alien species will take the initiative to find them.
"My giao! What on earth are these guys?!"
Looking at the multi-legged aliens running wildly, Tail, who was riding on Rourou's back, was startled. He held the machine gun with both hands and pulled the trigger with his index finger.
The orange-yellow trajectory instantly tore the alien apart, but soon more rushed up.
Rourou roared, and the bear claws inlaid with steel armor plates slapped out fiercely, instantly slapping the two monsters that rushed up and falling into the abyss outside the corridor.
Sisi and Zhimahu held rifles in their hands to fill the gap in firepower.
The shells thrown from the gun barrels hit the alloy floor one after another, and the clang clang clang sound was completely covered by the explosion of gunfire. In just a few breaths, the three had fired hundreds of bullets.
Fortunately, this game does not have an infinite monster spawning mechanism.
Faced with the overwhelming firepower of the White Bear Knights, the surging offensive eventually weakened.
The group finally broke through the encirclement of the aliens and rushed to the building at the end of the corridor.
The space here is wide, with three or four basketball courts. There are rows of seats opposite the semi-arc-shaped front desk. I think this should have been a registration office or a similar place.
The sliding door was closed heavily.
With her back against the cold metal door, Sisi put her rifle aside, took a long breath and slowly sat on the ground.
Her face was slightly pale, and her chest rose and fell slightly.
Zhimahu, who was standing next to her, also calmed his breathing, and his index finger hooked the collar stuck to his neck by sweat and loosened it.
"It's a spider...
"Yeah." Sisi took a breath and nodded his head, "Although it is reasonable that arthropods are more adaptable in narrow terrain... but if possible, I really don't want to deal with this kind of thing. "
From the entrance of the shelter to the current position, they have made about 3% progress.
First, they dealt with two "saber-toothed tigers", and then faced a group of waist-high large wolf spiders.
They have not faced the Death Claw for the time being, but they saw one through the bulletproof glass.
The Death Claw is not very big, but it is still a little bigger than the Garbage King.
"Huh? Si is afraid of spiders!" Tail looked over with sparkling eyes as if he had discovered a new world.
Si Si looked away with a subtle expression. "Actually, it's okay. If it's just an arthropod, it's okay, but if it's an arthropod and it's furry, I can't stand it.
It would be great if the game helmet could block this feeling.
Unfortunately...
A game that is in closed beta can't be expected to be as perfect as a game that is officially released.
"Hehe." "Don't play pranks, Awei."
"No, is Weiwei that kind of person?"
"Emm"
"Woo woo woo, my Si actually hesitated!"
Sisi smiled and was about to say something, but at this moment, a slight creaking sound suddenly came from the distance.
It was like stepping on the dust on the ground.
Sisi was alert and immediately reached for the rifle, but three sounds of breaking through the air sounded almost at the same time.
There were only three whooshes, and she groaned before she could get up from the ground. She fell to the side and pulled the trigger in the direction of the sound.
The thunder-like gunshots echoed in the empty room.
At the same time, Weiwei and Zhimahu reacted quickly, nimbly dodged the flying arrows, raised the muzzle of the gun and fired back at the uninvited guests outside the window.
A shrill scream soon came.
Those archers were frightened by the flaming sticks, and they all screamed and fled in all directions, using the walls, chairs, and counters as cover.
"People...?!"
Seeing the faces in the dark, Sisi's eyes showed a surprised expression.
However, these people were not speaking human language.
Or to be more precise, it was not like language at all, but more like the roar of a beast.
Looking at Sisi lying on the ground, Tail immediately rushed over, his face full of worry.
"Si! Are you okay?!"
"It's okay..."
Two arrows shot into the chest, but with the bulletproof vest blocking it, it was almost unnoticeable.
The more troublesome thing was the one stuck in the shoulder...
Sisi reached out and held the arrow shaft, moved it gently, and soon gave up pulling it out, instead breaking it in the middle.
Looking at Sisi standing up from the ground with a rifle, Zhimahu said worriedly.
"Why don't we retreat first?"
This shelter didn't look like it could be conquered in one day.
Tail and Rourou also nodded.
"Tail thinks so too!"
"+1."
"Well, let's go back to the entrance of the shelter first." Looking at the worried companions, Sis nodded.
At this time, her eyes suddenly fell on the body that was shot and fell to the ground.
With a thought in her mind, she walked forward and squatted down to observe.
The man was wearing clothes made of leaves and vines. His skin was pale, and it was a sickly white, as if he hadn't seen the sun for a long time. His eye sockets were deep red, his pupils were bloodshot, and his facial features were similar to those of humans, but his arms were slightly longer and his nails were sharp.
Sis frowned slightly, stretched out his index finger and swiped it across the man's chest. After carefully groping for a while, he took his hand back.
"Did you find anything?" Rourou, who was following behind her, curiously leaned forward.
"…26 ribs."
"26 ribs?" Tail looked confused.
"Normal people have 24 ribs. This guy should not be human, at least not the same kind as us," Sis clapped his hands and said, getting up from the ground, "Let's take one back to study it."
The group returned along the original path and came to the door connected to the shelter before, which overlooked the entire underground city.
The old radio was placed at the entrance of the room.
Zhima Paste walked up and picked it up.
Apparently seeing the battle just now, a compliment came from the radio.
"Not bad, you are stronger than I thought."
"It seems that I was not wrong."
Hearing this, Zhima Paste showed a shy smile. Although she only understood the general idea, she could vaguely feel the tone of appreciation in that sentence.
As for Tail, he was not so humble and raised the corners of his mouth happily.
"Oh! The tail is so powerful!"
"Haha, it's powerful, but you need to work harder..." A happy laugh came from the radio, but the voice sounded a little meaningful.
Sisi suddenly spoke.
"Why is there someone inside?"
The radio answered nonchalantly.
"They are just savages who have degenerated into animals... Don't worry, you can treat them as monkeys.
After a pause, it changed the subject without leaving a trace.
"It's getting late... Compared to those savages, I suggest you treat your wounds as soon as possible. "
The time in the game was approaching evening.
Unknowingly, they had spent a whole day in Shelter No. 79.
The milky white light from the dome was slowly fading, and the underground city outside the French window was gradually swallowed by darkness.
It seems that there is not only a steel jungle here, but also the change of sun and moon.
If this fortress had not fallen... "If the world is coming to an end, it feels good to live in such a place." Standing at the door of the buffer room, Zhima Paste, who was looking at the French window behind him, suddenly said with some emotion.
"Yeah."
"Why do you think the people here want to run away?"
"Who knows, maybe they are too full."
Sisi said nonchalantly, but the corner of her eye lightly glanced at the radio in Zhima Paste's arms.
She always felt that this matter was not that simple.
After thinking for a moment, Sisi said in human language.
"This is not a solution. We don't have enough manpower... Do you mind if we call more people over? "
The radio answered nonchalantly.
"No problem, there's nothing to worry about. "
He wished more people would come to help.
However, his understanding of "call more people" was obviously different from what Sisi wanted to express.
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Sisi continued.
"Then I'm relieved. "
The elevator slowly went up.
It stopped on the second floor of the Ruigu City Library.
After walking through rows of bookshelves to the door, Sis stretched out his hand to open the door, and saw that Hao Tao, the mayor of Xiangling Street, was waiting at the door with several strong survivors.
The weapons in their hands can be said to be varied, including iron rifles, hoes, hatchets and meat-cutting knives.
When Sis and Zhimahu went back to call their teammates, they did not go back empty-handed, but killed the tiger with protruding teeth at the door and carried it back.
When the survivors of Xiangling Town saw the hideous alien being carried out of the room on the second floor of the library, they were all terrified.
Compared with the tiger whose teeth were longer than the dagger, the big white bear named Rourou was simply handsome and naive.
When Sisi offered to help them get rid of the alien species in the basement of the library, the local residents stopped blocking them from entering the settlement and took the initiative to make a stronger ladder for them and helped Rourou climb in from outside the wall.
Without waiting for Sisi to speak, Wu Tao, who was standing at the door, asked hurriedly.
"What's the situation down there?"
Sisi said with a serious face.
"Very bad! There is an alien species nest under your feet!"
"Alien species nest?!"
The air was quiet.
A trace of fear gradually appeared on Wu Tao's face.
Including the people behind him, everyone's face was filled with fear, and they exchanged doubtful looks with each other.
"And, not only alien species, there is also a group of savages who can't communicate at all. We brought back a corpse, right over there.
As she said that, she glanced behind her and motioned Rourou to put the corpse they brought out of Shelter No. 79 on the ground.
Staring at the dead body on the ground, Wu Tao swallowed hard, then moved his gaze to her shoulder.
There was a broken arrow stuck there.
"Your injury"
"Don't worry, I'm planning to deal with it." Sisi continued calmly, "Shelter No. 79 has fallen, but we can't just leave it there. We will clean up the monsters below, and we may have to stay here for a few more days."
There are many entrances to Shelter No. 79, but most of them are damaged due to disrepair.
She and Wei had explored below before, and the only entrance that can be easily entered is the elevator on the second floor of the library.
Hearing this, Wu Tao nodded without any hesitation.
"It doesn't matter, you can stay as long as you want!"
Sisi smiled happily.
"Well, don't worry, we are here, those aliens can't hurt you."
After a pause, she continued.
"However, our strength alone may not be enough. Our companions will come here to help us in a few days. Can you prepare a few more rooms for us?"
Wu Tao was stunned and hesitated.
"How many people are there?"
"About thirty or forty?"
Or maybe one or two hundred.
Sisi gave a conservative number, mainly because she was not sure how many people she could call.
However, even so, after hearing this number, Wu Tao, who was standing in front of her, still showed a surprised expression on his face. "Are you a mercenary group?"
Then, he added in a low voice with caution.
"We can't afford the reward."
Sisi smiled.
"It doesn't matter, we don't charge money. "
No money?
There is such a good thing?!
Hearing her words, the faces of the residents gathered at the door showed surprise, suspicion, and even disbelief.
Wu Tao's expression was equally wonderful, but he couldn't think of a reason to refuse, let alone what these people were after.
After exchanging glances with several survivors beside him and whispering a few words, he finally looked at Sisi and nodded slowly.
We can lend you the second floor, and we will move the books to the room on the third floor. I'll trouble you here."
"Wasteland OL" official website.
Every day when the peak of offline time comes, the forum is very lively.
Especially in recent days.
As the battle reports from the front line and the information of the new map are released one after another, the enthusiasm of players to discuss is getting higher and higher.
At this time, a special post suddenly appeared.
Sisi: "Seeking a team to explore the No. 79 Shelter! Level 10 or above required, no equipment limit, interested friends are welcome to join us!"
Edge paddling: "Me, me, me!"
Debt eyes: "Raise your hand!"
Wang next door: "Wait, No. 7⑨ Shelter is in Ruigu City, right? The straight-line distance is 150 kilometers... This is too far."
Sisi: "You won't parachute at a location around 120 kilometers."
Wang next door: "Fuck, yeah, you can take a plane!"
Aoao sesame paste: "Well, if you plan to parachute here, can you bring us some ammunition? Our ammunition is a bit low, please. QAQ"
Fang Chang: "Although I probably can't spare the time to go there, I still have to say that it would be better to discuss the issue of profit distribution before starting the group."
Sisi: "Oh, don't worry, we have already considered this! Due to the uncertainty of level income and clearance cycle, we plan to give each participating player a fixed income of 10 silver coins per level. In short, LV12 following the car will earn 120 silver coins a day. You need to take care of your own weapons, we can reimburse the ammunition, and the death compensation is 3 silver coins. 20% of the final income of the copy will be used as a bonus and distributed to all participating players according to the proportion of progress contribution!"
Canyon Escape Rat: "... Awesome, don't you worry about losing money?"
Quit smoking: "Fuck! Rich woman!"
Sisi: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm not. (——)"
Chu Guang, who was sitting in the shelter and peeking at the screen, dragged the mouse to browse the posts, with an interested expression on his face.
"Something."
According to the numerical system he designed, a V player, if he chooses a task with a moderate risk level, the income of a day's task is about
80~100 silver coins.
The daily salary of 10 silver coins per level is a reasonable reward, and there should be many players between V10 and LV15 interested in it.
As for losing money?
From the perspective of players, there is indeed such a risk.
But as the boss of the players, how could Chu Guang let his hardworking little players suffer losses?
When they pass the level, he will calculate a relatively reasonable profit based on their total expenses and the difficulty of the level, and pay them a reward that other players envy but does not affect the balance.
And he himself does not even need to worry about the specific strategy process, just move the mouse and keyboard to "self-prostitute" a shelter.
Thinking of this, Chu Guang couldn't help but smile.
It's worthy of the player he brought up.
Not only can he lead troops to fight for him, but also open up new bases for him, and he doesn't even need to worry about the initial investment.
It's really not bad.
While Sisi was calling people on the forum, the elevator room on the second floor of the Ruigu City Library had been emptied by the survivors of Xiangling Town.
All the bookshelves and books had been moved to the third floor, leaving only the bare floor and the luggage brought by the White Bear Knights.
Perhaps it was for the sake of the serum, or perhaps it was for the safety of the books.
The manager named "Yongshi" said nothing and acquiesced to their behavior of transforming the elevator entrance into a temporary camp.
The night gradually deepened.
Sisi and Zhimahu, who were curled up in their sleeping bags, had already gone offline, while Weiba and Rourou sat next to the two sleeping bags, guarding the first half of the night.
There was nothing to do, and Weiba, who couldn't stay idle, had yawned out of boredom, but Rourou, who was sitting next to him, was still very energetic, stretching her not-so-obvious neck to look around.
"By the way, what is Rourou looking at?" Seeing that she was always looking around, Weiba looked over curiously and asked.
"Well, nothing, just a little concerned," Rourou muttered softly, "By the way, there is a camera of the manager in this room, right?"
"Yes, you just found out?"
"Not that I just found out, but I feel that this means that he is watching us when we sleep?"
Wei Ba looked at Rourou in surprise.
"My giao! When you say that, I suddenly feel so horny!"
Rourou said with a smile: "Don't make it sound like I'm the horny. Don't you think it's weird? There is a camera next to you when you sleep."
Wei Ba pinched his chin and thought about this question seriously for a while, then nodded and said.
"Well, it would be really weird if it was in reality, but this is a game, right? And we are not changing clothes here. "
If you must say, the entire "Wasteland OL" is full of operational "cameras", right? And the people watching are not NPCs, but programmers and siege lions in reality.
Otherwise, how can the dog planner improve the game content through the game behavior of closed beta players?
Thinking of this, Wei's face suddenly changed slightly.
Wait!
If that's the case...
Those weird songs she sang in the bath, weren't they all heard by the dog planner?!
"Giao looked at Wei's face, which suddenly turned red, and Rourou, who was sitting next to him, was stunned. "What's wrong with you?"
It was the first time she saw this guy blush.
And it was red all the way from his face to his ears.
"No... nothing."
The twitching eyebrows and the forced smile were as stiff as they could be, and his knees were rubbing against each other restlessly. No matter from which angle you look at it, it doesn't look like nothing is wrong.
Just when Rourou was curious and wanted to continue asking, there was a loud "bang" outside the window, and the floor and walls were shaking.
The awkward atmosphere was swept away in an instant.
The man and the bear jumped up from the ground reflexively.
"South! The sound came from the south. The view here is too narrow, I can't see anything!"
Rourou approached the window nailed shut with wooden boards, trying to look outside through the gap in the window, but was helplessly blocked by the plants and buildings outside the house.
Looking at Rourou lying completely on the window, Weiba immediately said.
"Rourou! You stay here to guard Sisi and Zhimahu, I'll go upstairs to check!"
"Got it!" Rourou replied immediately.
There was an angry roar in the distance. Disturbed by the sound of the artillery, the Death Claw outside seemed to be mad, and was killing people. The sound of gunfire rang out.
He grabbed the tail of the rifle and rushed out the door quickly, running up to the third floor, just in time to run into Wu Tao who was rushing over in a panic.
He had a hunting rifle on his back, and his eyes were full of panic.
He grabbed the tail and spoke in non-standard human language, breaking up the words one syllable at a time.
"What happened outside?"
"Army, Legion!"
The hunter, who had just become the mayor for a few days, screamed incoherently in a stuttering voice, "Those soldiers in black robes! They are back again!"
