…
In the evening.
Brother Mole led a group of players who had fought with the devil moth nest, singing the song of victory, pulling five carts full of loot, and returned from the direction of the greenhouse ruins.
”The sparrow is so happy~sleeping naked on the antenna pole~~~”
”Bring the pork fat bones, I forgot to wash the eggs~~~”
”Fuck, what the hell are you singing?”
”That’s right, what the hell are you singing? We just lost a brother, and we have to send another away later, can you be serious!”
”I’m washing kelp, washing kelp~~~”
”Fuck, who will sew up this mole’s mouth?”
”Let me do it, I’m good at this.”
”No, I’ve made contributions to the planner! I’ve shed blood for the base! You can’t do this to me~~~”
Facts have proved that the devil moths are not endless. If one time is not enough, then come twice. If two times are not enough, then come a third time, a fourth time. For
two consecutive days.
Eighteen players formed a “531 lineup” according to the strategy of the mole brother, and attacked in two teams in turn. In the narrow passage, a large number of devil moths were killed.
Some were burned, and some were stabbed to death with cold weapons.
Interestingly, these devil moths do not seem to have completely inherited the habits of moths, or they have evolved a special habit similar to the hive consciousness.
When the number of tribes in the space dropped to a certain level, these insects suddenly gave up the suicidal active attack, but retreated to the nest, protecting the larvae and the cocoons that hatched the adults, and launched sneak attacks on the targets that entered the nest under the cover of shadows.
This has a certain impact on the players’ fixed routine play.
According to Brother Mole’s understanding, it is probably that the dog planner discovered that they were using the “BUG” to spawn monsters and adjusted the server parameters.
But it’s not a big problem.
The remaining devil moths on the first floor are no longer enough to pose a fatal threat.
The strength players are still in the front row, and the agility players are in the back. The group quickly harvested the devil moth cocoons near the exit of the passage, picked up the devil moth corpses near the exit of the passage, and took the rich spoils home.
Although the price of one death and one disability was paid, compared with the gains of their trip, the loss is not worth mentioning at all.
More than a hundred devil moth corpses piled up into a small hill, and there were more than a hundred football-sized cocoons. If there hadn’t been another batch of devil moths coming up, they could have taken a little more.
Adding the small amount of spirit leaves harvested from the planting unit, the total mission income reached 841 silver coins!
41 silver coins per person!
Of course, it is definitely impossible to divide the money equally, as human lives and equipment losses are both costs, but after calculating, at least everyone can get more than 33 silver coins.
This is much better than burning bricks.
The group passed through the east gate.
After exchanging supplies from the outpost, Wu Tiefu and several natives who had just walked out happened to see the devil moth corpses and piles of moth pupae piled on the wooden cart, and their faces showed shock.
Of course they knew what this thing was.
Especially in summer, the season when spirit leaves grow most luxuriantly, this thing is simply the god of death in the wilderness, and even a complete corpse cannot be found wherever it sweeps.
However, why did this insect appear in Qingquan City?
And where did the spirit leaf field come from?
This damn weather, it’s already several degrees below zero, don’t the moths here need to hibernate?
”They can even defeat the devil moth…”
”Incredible, how did they do it.”
”They came from the east… There is a devil moth nest in the eastern city.”
”We have to stay away.”
Several tribesmen carrying sheep horn potatoes on their shoulders whispered, but Wu Tiefu, the leader of the tribe, was thinking about other things.
All the way from the northern part of the Valley Province, they experienced countless dangerous fights for survival.
In the most dangerous battle, in order to escape from the guns of the slave traders’ slave-catching team, his father and uncle died in the fight.
There were more than 50 young and strong men in the tribe, but now only in their early twenties, and the rest are the elderly, weak, women, and even babies who have not been weaned.
Now that there are strong people willing to protect them, it is time to seize the time and recuperate.
However, the problem now is that due to the previous heavy losses, the number of women in the tribe who can still give birth to children has far exceeded the number of men with fertility, and many of them are blood relatives.
Intra-tribal marriage in a small tribe is a very troublesome problem. For the health and strength of the newborn, his tribe needs to replenish fresh blood.
And these powerful warriors seem to be the best choice.
Recalling the long talk between the elders of the tribe and himself last night, Wu Tiefu did not say a word on the way back.
After instructing the tribe members to store the exchanged food, he returned to the outpost alone and found the ruler here at the door of the sanatorium.
”Sir.” Chu
Guang glanced at him.
”What’s the matter.”
Wu Tiefu lowered his head and said in a muffled voice.
”I want to borrow some seeds from you.”
Borrow seeds?
Strange, you nomads can also farm?
Chu Guang thought it was quite interesting and said with a smile.
”Unfortunately, we don’t have any seeds either. I’m afraid I can’t help you with this. Besides, it’s snowing so hard outside that the soil has already frozen. Even if we get the seeds, I’m afraid we can’t plant them.”
Wu Tiefu scratched the back of his head.
”No, you may have misunderstood me. What I want to borrow from you is… not that seed, but that seed.”
”What that one?” Chu Guang frowned and looked at him and said, “What do you want to say? Don’t beat around the bush with me.”
Wu Tiefu didn’t dare to be careless and explained quickly.
”That’s it, for breeding people.”
Hearing this, Chu Guang almost choked on his saliva.
What the hell.
Did he hear it wrong or misunderstand it.
What the hell is breeding people? !
Noticing the change in Chu Guang’s expression, Wu Tiefu was stunned for a moment, not understanding why this adult reacted so strongly.
But he continued to lower his posture and asked sincerely.
”Our tribe experienced a war a few days ago, and the population is sparse, so we need to replenish fresh blood. We dare not ask for your blood, but only hope that you can nod and allow unmarried young women in our tribe to stay in your camp for a few days.”
”We won’t let you do this for nothing. As a reward, we are willing to offer a camel skin and a dagger to the father of each newborn.”
At this point, Chu Guang finally understood what this guy meant.
It’s understandable, where does the tribesman get the concept of integrity.
In addition to the combination within the tribe, the large tribe with a prosperous population can also plunder foreign tribes to obtain slaves and reproduce through slaves. Small tribes with a sluggish population can only rely on the strong and get fresh blood from the suzerain power.
”I understand your difficulties, but I can’t help you with this favor,” Chu Guang said with a serious face, “We are a serious game… Ahem, what I mean is that our customs are different from yours. I can consider other favors, but I really can’t help with this.”
Besides, even if I want to help, I can’t help.
Chu Guang had read the instructions for the incubator before, and remembered very clearly that it seemed difficult for these clones to have genetic factors?
Originally, they were not designed for normal reproduction, but were just “containers” for the players’ consciousness bodies and “products” made by the incubator.
Especially for heterologous sequences, the genetic factors could not be stably inherited by the next generation, and even due to chromosomal abnormalities, the functions were castrated.
Besides, “Wasteland OL” is a leisure and fun game.
Chu Guang did not even think about it, and decisively rejected it for the players.
Youxi?
Wu Tiefu was confused and did not understand what the adult meant.
But looking at the expression on his face, he did not seem satisfied with his proposal.
Come to think of it, these wanderers came from the wilderness after all.
Even if it was out of concern for disease, the leader would not allow the strong young labor force of his tribe to waste their vigorous energy on foreign women.
”I am abrupt.”
Wu Tiefu lowered his head with regret and shame, and after expressing his sincere apology, he turned around and left under the curious eyes of the surrounding players.
The players whispered to each other.
”What are they talking about?”
”I don’t know.”
”Farming! I heard the manager mentioned ‘farming’! I know that word!”
”You only know farming.”
…
Late at night.
The natives who had built the camp lit a bonfire in the center of the camp.
The flames flickered in the snow.
The refugees sat around the bonfire, playing flutes made of animal bones, singing folk songs with unclear pronunciation, sharing turbid broth and black pancakes, celebrating the end of this journey and praying for the newborn.
Although the players were curious, they did not approach, but just stood on the wall and watched from a distance.
”What tune are they playing?”
”I haven’t heard it before. It’s probably the background music of the Alpha 0.5 version. Didn’t I say that the new version will probably focus on the development of the human-computer interaction system? But I didn’t expect that the production team is so awesome that even the refugees in the wasteland have their own culture.”
”The bone flute they use is quite interesting. Let’s see if I can buy one tomorrow to take a look.”
”What if it’s made of human bones? Do you want to play it?”
”Fuck, do you have to think so curiously?”
”It’s just a reasonable analysis. I heard that some African tribes will make musical instruments out of their parents’ bones after they die.”
”Thank you, I’m touched.”
It’s not just the players who are curious
. Chu Guang, who was standing on the third floor of the sanatorium and looking out, also had an interested expression on his face.
I didn’t expect that these refugees actually have their own unique tribal culture.
These settings can be updated on the official website to help those online players pass the time and satisfy their curiosity.
I just don’t know what to call these people.
Chu Guang thought about it and decided to give them a name after a while, and make a flag or totem or something.
”This song is quite nice.”
”Do you want to record it, Master?”
”Can you record it from so far away?”
”There is a technology called laser monitoring. Even if it is far away, as long as a beam of light is sent over, the audio can be recorded through the frequency of the object’s vibration.”
”You have this ability?!”
”Of course it can be within a range of several hundred meters, and it can also reduce the noise of the audio.”
”…Then record it.”
It is also good to record the original soundtrack and put it into the database of the official website. It can be regarded as an investigation of the local customs and customs of the wasteland.
After 12 o’clock in the middle of the night.
Chu Guang carried Xiao Qi back to the shelter, then turned on the system and checked his manager’s allowance.
In the past half a month, he actually saved 222 points.
”Two advanced blind boxes, two intermediate blind boxes, and two primary ones… Just draw them directly.”
It happened that the lollipops were almost eaten.
There is no point in hoarding points. There are daily activities to do every day. Now that the number of players has increased, if you are lucky, you can save more than ten or twenty points a day, and if you are unlucky, you can still save seven or eight.
Chu Guang stretched out his hand and clicked the extraction button a few times.
A light blue light flickered.
The wall on one side of the resident hall trembled slightly. As the alloy door opened, the rewards from the blind boxes were sent out along the conveyor belt.
Two primary blind boxes opened a bag of 500g of white sugar and a bag of 500g of salt, and the intermediate blind box opened a box of antibiotics and a treatment needle.
Overall, it was pretty good. Even Chu Guang himself, who was lucky, felt a little surprised. Although there were no needles with added attributes, the sugar, salt and medicines that were opened were all good things.
As for the advanced blind boxes…
to be honest, it’s a bit exaggerated.
”A mechanical compound bow with a sight, it seems to have a motor on it, and it can also be equipped with batteries. It seems that it should be able to charge and shoot? But there is no special arrow?”
He can’t shoot arrows, so this thing can only be used by players.
”And what is this… a grenade?”
Chu Guang picked up a silver-white ball from the conveyor belt, but he couldn’t find the pull ring after searching for a long time.
Chu Guang took it in his hand and tossed it gently, weighing it. He really couldn’t figure out how to play this thing. He glanced around and wanted to find a target to try it out and see if it would hurt someone.
It seemed that he couldn’t bear it anymore. Xiao Qi, who was squatting quietly beside him, reminded him weakly in a low voice.
”Master…”
”That thing, you don’t use it like this.”
