Chapter 1048: Victory for all survivors

  Chapter 1048: Victory for all survivors

  At the same time when Tianhong was killed by the commander of the Desert Corps in the chaos, on the other side of the battlefield, Morton, who had been transformed into a bionic man, also fell under the chaotic gunfire of the Death Corps.

  His legs were blown off, and one of his arms was broken. There was not a single intact part on his body, and the damage information on the main control program kept ringing.

  However, even so, he still did not stop fighting, but used his remaining left hand to pull out his pistol and tried to aim at the Death Claw that was rushing towards him.

  ”Bang!”

  The bullet burst out of the chamber, but missed the target.

  ”Roar!!!”

  The Death Claw roared furiously, rushed to him in an instant, bit his only remaining arm, and pulled it off his shoulder.

  Electric sparks flew everywhere, and pungent smoke rushed out of Morton’s shoulder. The

  Death Claw stepped on his chest, threw away the half arm in its mouth, and opened its ferocious bloody mouth again.

  Morton looked at it expressionlessly, waiting calmly for death, but saw that the open mouth was pulled shut.

  Perhaps worried that his mount would have an upset stomach, the cavalryman wearing an exoskeleton jumped off the lizard’s back and took down the engineer shovel hanging next to the lizard.

  The side of the shovel was sharpened, which could be used as a bayonet or a demolition axe.

  Looking at the man walking towards him, Morton, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

  ”I don’t understand…”

  Looking at the bionic stick lying on the ground waiting to die, he raised his eyebrows while paddling with the edge of the engineer shovel.

  ”What do you not understand?”

  Morton looked into his eyes and said in a staccato electronic voice.

  ”How did you… do it? We… have at least… four active human union officers. We expect that we may not be able to resist… but it won’t be so fast against the wastelanders.”

  According to the calculation results, the three lines of defense they deployed around Shelter No. 13 can last at least half a month, and it is impossible that they can’t even hold out for one night.

  However, the result of this war was beyond his expectations.

  The mechanical soldiers who should have lasted longer suffered a systematic collapse in a way he had not imagined, but these organic bodies lasted longer than he expected…

  ”The active officers are okay…”

  Looking at the confused iron lump, Edgewater grinned and said jokingly.

  ”You have been fighting for three years, and we have been fighting for two centuries. Why do you think you are more professional? Just because your military ranks are stamped with the rubber stamp of the Human League?”

  The electronic eyes embedded in the iron lump flickered slightly, and then dimmed.

  ”I see…”

  They have lived in the glory of the past for too long.

  Whether it is the celestial being.

  Or the self before becoming a celestial being…

  Morton did not speak, as if he had finally figured everything out, and silently accepted the failed outcome.

  The gunfire in the distance continued.

  Although the commander had died, the mechanical soldiers who did not know what death was did not stop, but still executed the previous orders. Even

  though they had lost the reason to continue fighting.

  In a sense, they and the celestial being who made them may be the same kind of people.

  Their era is over.

  Still living 200 years ago, they not only failed to help rebuild the world, but also became an obstacle for people to move to a new era…

  Burning steel covered the wasteland under the old space elevator. The battle of blood and fire lasted all night until the morning sun hung in the dim sky.

  With the scrapping of the last humanoid combat armor, the fight finally ended with the victory of the Alliance.

  As for the price.

  Although it was not heavy, it was not easy. Even

  though the first-hand strategic strike of the orbital gun wiped out the combatants and mutant cannon fodder deployed on the surface by the Enlightenment Society, the robot army of the Celestial Beings still caused considerable casualties to the players.

  In just one battle, the total casualties of more than a dozen participating corps reached 20,000.

  Among them, the casualties of the Death Corps were the most tragic, with 11,000 people killed in the entire corps.

  Of course, their number was also the largest in the entire server, and the number of people remained around 30,000 for a long time.

  As for the Skeleton Corps, which was mainly composed of armored units, the casualties were not that heavy.

  The blood dyed the reddish-brown sand even more red, like a glowing sea of ​​blood under the morning sun.

  The only thing to be thankful for is that players who died in battle will not really die.

  Three days later, they will be able to wake up from the incubator and see the morning sun shining on the earth again…

  …

  The official website of “Wasteland OL” is bustling with activity on the forum.

  Cloud players are busy arguing about which one is stronger between Tianren and Enlightenment, and how they compare with other forces in the wasteland, while players who have logged off early are waiting for the latest first-hand battle reports from their brothers who just died.

  Soon, the good news from the front came, and the reward announcement on the official website was also flooded at the same time.

  It is not just Taran Raider who got the reward and limited title of the full server announcement.

  Including marginal paddling, including Mole Brother, etc., almost everyone has unlocked their own achievements and boarded the official website’s Hall of Fame with golden glory. After

  waiting for several months, we finally waited for a hearty decisive battle, and almost all the participating players were happy.

  Coupled with the generous activity points and rewards, the three-day resurrection CD and the withdrawal reaction of being unable to go online do not seem so difficult to endure.

  Probably.

  Edge of Pause: “It feels so good! Hahahaha! I haven’t felt so good in a long time! (grin)”

  Drum Shampooing Machine: “It’s just a little lonely, empty and cold. I didn’t expect the Enlightenment Society to be so weak. They were knocked down with just one map cannon. (sigh)”

  Debt-Eyes: “Speaking of which, the Enlightenment Society has been taken down. Should we take down the Eastern Empire next? (smirk)”

  Irena: “Saren: Don’t come over here!! (funny)”

  Elf King Fugui: “I don’t think so. We can’t just go after anyone who is different from us. (funny)”

  Canyon Fleeing Mole: “Unless a new expansion is released. (funny)”

  Leftover Egg Old Man: “But they are still in slavery now. It’s not impossible to analyze them rationally.”

  Battlefield atmosphere group: “That being said, they have begun to change. For example, New West Sail Port is actually a good start. Although the power of the people there is still very small for the time being, they will eventually grow up and become a political force to promote the reform of the Eastern Empire. If we intervene rashly, it will have the opposite effect, and we may create another weird thing.”

  The previous legion was actually a weird thing, but it became normal after the disintegration.

  The reason why the Eastern Empire is the Eastern Empire is not because they have an emperor named Saren, but because of the common hope deep in the hearts of everyone living on that land.

  The latter is the reason, and the former is just the result.

  From this point of view, the people of Willant Province and Battoa Province are fundamentally different.

  The former already had a constitutional tradition during the period of Julius, otherwise he, the consul, could not change anything even if he shouted at the top of his throat.

  Although the Southern Legion took the path of militarism for a period of time, the main body of society was citizens, officers and industrialists, which was fundamentally different from the Eastern Legion where landowners and military nobles played the main body of society.

  Whether the Weilants of the Eastern Empire admit it or not, the ecological niche belonging to the tyrant objectively exists, including the tens of thousands of slave owners who are dependent on the tyrant.

  Once the visible Majesty is overthrown, the invisible Majesty will emerge to fill the vacant ecological niche.

  This is not just a problem of the Eastern Empire, but a problem that all forms of feudalism exist together.

  Even relatively speaking, the feudalism of the Eastern Empire is actually much more advanced.

  At least, whether it is their Majesties or the tens of thousands of military nobles themselves, there is a desire for progress in their heads.

  I’m the Darkest: “Tsk, why do you sound more and more like Fang Chang?”

  Kakarot: “Reasonable suspicion. You probably had an affair with an NPC. (Smirk)”

  Battlefield Atmosphere Group: “???”

  Luo Yu: “I’m only curious about one thing now, what will the next expansion pack be. (Looking up at the sky)” Feng Qing

  : “Maybe another planet?”

  Garbage Picker Level 99: “Damn, isn’t this a bit too big a leap? (Stupid)”

  Canyon Escaping Mole: “You guys are so hard to please. You’ve been yelling about flying since we weren’t even out of Qingquan City, but now that you’ve really flown up, why are you still holding back? (Funny)”

  Laplace: “Wait, so “Wasteland OL” is actually just a prequel to the background setting of the public beta version of the game?! (Shocked)”

  Madam, you don’t want to either, do you? “Although I feel There are problems everywhere, but somehow it makes sense. (Laughing and crying)”

  Garbage Picker Level 99: “Awesome! I’m invincible using the prequel as a beta version.”

  Tail: “Oh oh oh! “Starry Sky OL”, start! (Wearing sunglasses)”

  Strongman: “I’m crying, can I delete my account and start over as a mouse? (Crying)”

  Outlaw: “Speaking of which, why didn’t I see Lao Bai and the others showing off this time? It’s unscientific.”

  Fountain Commander: “Their battlefield is not on the ground, but at the Lagrange point. I remember that their attack time was about the same as ours, and it probably hasn’t ended yet.”

  Lightning Mage Professor Yang: “Wow, this “Starry Sky OL” has already been played?”

  Tyrannosaurus Warrior: “Yes, it has been installed. (Crying)”

  Canyon Fleeing Mole: “(Funny)”

  …

  The war on the ground is over.

  The NPC troops of the First Army of the Alliance began to move in, and the players began to clean up the battlefield after a short rest.

  The Enlightenment Society left a lot of good things.

  Especially the pre-war exoskeletons and power armor scattered on the battlefield, which are almost 90% new and can be used after washing, which makes a group of unsophisticated players very happy.

  Although these equipments are not owned by whoever picks them up, but are exchanged according to the battlefield score, it is okay to “try them on” before handing them in.

  The NPCs in “Wasteland OL” are not as rigid as other games. They will not excessively investigate the origins of the things players wear. Only when “registering and binding” will they conduct a relatively strict review procedure.

  In addition to the equipment and wreckage left on the battlefield, the most valuable ones are the black boxes collected by the Enlightenment Society and the production facilities restored through the black boxes.

  These black boxes were robbed by the Enlightenment Society from other shelters, and now they have all become treasures of the Alliance.

  The heavy trucks of the First Army drove into the production facilities of the Enlightenment Society in waves, and drove to the direction of the Ravenka Industrial Zone in waves.

  These treasures will be loaded into containers and shipped to the port of Death Coast by cargo ships. Depending on their use, they will be shipped to the Dawn City Industrial Zone or left at Death Coast to support local construction.

  Just as the players were having a great time picking up items on the battlefield, a group of people came from the direction of the Ravenka Industrial Zone.

  Obviously, the bloody smell that permeated the area not only attracted vultures in the sky, but also attracted nearby scavengers.

  When the Enlightenment and mutant mercenaries were still active in this area, almost no one dared to approach this area, but now it is a different situation.

  After all, looking at the trucks heading to the Ravenka Industrial Zone, even the dumbest people know who won the battle last night.

  Following the ruts on the ground, scavengers along the way came here one after another.

  Looking at the increasing number of scavengers, the player on duty at the checkpoint stepped forward and shouted at the noisy crowd.

  ”The battlefield is still being cleaned up. It is not safe here. I suggest you wait until it is safe before coming over.”

  The scavengers made a lot of noise.

  A brown-skinned woman with dreadlocks walked to the front and shouted at the players in front of the checkpoint.

  ”Sir, this is what we do. What else do we need to do when it’s safe?”

  The cloudy pupils carried one point of respect and two points of cunning, and the remaining seven points were vigilance.

  Although she heard that the alliance had a good reputation, no one could be sure that the rumors were necessarily correct. But

  even so, she was still willing to try her luck here. After all,

  other places where you can pick up garbage can never catch up with this Feng Shui treasure land under the foot of the space elevator.

  Without waiting for the player to answer, several scavengers standing in front of the crowd also stepped forward and shouted.

  ”Sir, we can help you clean up the battlefield… for a suitable price.”

  ”We have no other thoughts, we just want to make a living.”

  The two players exchanged glances, and then one of them stepped forward and said to the scavengers standing in the front row.

  ”We understand your situation, and I think there is no problem, but I can’t make the decision. I have to ask the superior.”

  ”Thank you.”

  The female scavenger winked at him.

  However, the unique style was a bit too “waste punk” and did not attract the interest of the little player, but made the latter feel embarrassed.

  The shy look caused laughter around, which made the atmosphere in front of the checkpoint a lot more lively.

  The local wastelanders are more passionate and unrestrained than the wastelanders in the River Valley Province, but unfortunately their appearance is much worse.

  The news was reported one level at a time and soon delivered to the staff of the First Army.

  After a meeting, the supreme commander “Wrench” quickly approved the scavengers’ application.

  Although unexploded stray bullets and war machines left on the battlefield may pose a safety hazard, they need to consider not only safety, but also the establishment of a reliable order in the local area.

  Arranging jobs for these scavengers is part of establishing order.

  Rather than letting these guys sneak into the battlefield to steal the spoils at the risk of being caught and killed, it is better to recruit most of them at a suitable price, and then use iron-fisted means to deal with those desperate criminals, increasing the latter’s risks and costs.

  In the end, when the battlefield is cleaned up, they will return the garbage dump to these scavengers and recycle valuable dismantled items from them at a suitable price, thus completing the transition from wartime order to peacetime order.

  The manager plans to build a new settlement here.

  In addition to resettling nearby scavengers, the gentleman also hopes that the residents of Shelter No. 13 will also participate in the construction of this settlement, and take on the responsibilities and obligations they once abandoned…

  …

  At the entrance of Shelter No. 13, the alloy door slowly opened.

  Under the guidance of the watchmen, the hurried crowd passed through the long corridor one after another, leaving the cradle that had sheltered them for more than a century.

  The wasteland is in front. It is

  also their new home in the future.

  The morning sun was reflected on faces with different expressions. People looked at the desolate ruins and battlefield, their faces full of confusion and hesitation.

  Until yesterday, they were still listening to Director Feng’s sweet words, believing that as long as they joined forces with the Enlightenment Society and the Heavenly People, their future would be infinitely bright and full of beauty.

  However, the reality was not so –

  all they saw were devastated ruins and death everywhere.

  ”The wasteland is ahead…”

  Medical Miracle said to Director Feng and his secretary who was still supporting him, squinting his eyes and looking at the road ahead.

  ”You have been comfortable for 200 years, and it’s time to learn to face reality.”

  Feng Zhiheng stared into his eyes, and his pale face due to excessive blood loss did not have much expression. After a long time, he squeezed out a word from his mouth.

  ”In fact, you saw… Most people are not prepared.”

  Medical Miracle said with a smile.

  ”So?”

  Looking at this unsympathetic guy, Feng Zhiheng’s mouth twitched slightly, and he lowered his voice and said.

  ”Because of your plan, they were hastily driven out… Is this fair to us?”

  Before the medical miracle could speak, Zhuang Lan, who came from the side holding the head of the Enlightenment Society by the neck, answered for him first.

  ”I should ask you this question. When Shelter No. 68 opened its doors to explore ways to rebuild the civilized world, you lived a prosperous life in Shelter No. 13 in advance… Is this fair to us?”

  Feng Zhiheng’s eyes were a little evasive, but in the end he couldn’t avoid the sharp gaze and fooled the question.

  ”So? You have proved that the group of beggars are not worth saving at all. These guys are the root of all problems-”

  ”Anyone can discuss this issue, but you can’t,” Zhuang Lan looked into his eyes and said word by word, “including me.”

  If you want to know why, it is because the shelter is not built to shelter anyone, but to shelter everyone.

  This is the legitimacy of why it can give up the lives of some people and concentrate its strength to let some people survive first.

  From the beginning, it exists to continue the fire of civilization, even if there are some twists and turns in this process.

  If even this most basic responsibility can be shirked, then the police can refuse to enforce the law because the victim is not perfect enough, and the firefighters can refuse to rush into the fire because the victim is also the arsonist.

  But this is obviously not possible.

  Whether it is worthy or not is the evaluation of future generations, and saving those who survived is the duty of the blue jackets at this moment.

  Looking at the speechless Director Feng, Zhuang Lan suddenly raised the corner of her mouth in a teasing manner.

  ”No wonder they didn’t call you an administrator, and you never called yourself that.”

  Looking at the blank face, she said in a half-joking tone.

  ”At least, you still have some self-awareness.”
