Chapter 141 Salute to You! Residents of Shelter 404

  Chapter 141 Salute to you! Residents of Shelter No. 404

  Luo Hua and Ai Si continued to build the barracks, but the players around them were getting impatient and whispering to each other impatiently.

  ”These NPCs are too slow!”

  ”That’s right! Why is it so slow to build a shed?”

  ”Can’t you just put a table and get the job done? You don’t know how to adapt at all!”

  ”How long will it take for these NPCs to start working? Can you give me a progress bar? I want to see if I should go cut down two trees first.”

  ”Too slow! I can’t stand it. I want to open a new map and move bricks in the new map!”

  If Luo Hua and Ai Si knew that the residents of the shelter were complaining about their low efficiency, I wonder what kind of expression they would show.

  Happy?

  After all, they are in a hurry to work.

  Speechless?

  Not without reason, after all, no one likes to be rushed.

  But the two of them didn’t understand.

  Just like the players around them couldn’t understand what the NPC named Luo Hua was chattering about.

  ”Don’t these blue jackets have anything else to do besides watching the fun? Why don’t they come up and help us?”

  Ai Si: “…”

  Luo Hua: “Speaking of which, what are we going to eat for lunch?”

  Ai Si: “Freeze-dried food.”

  Luo Hua: “Well, okay, I guessed it was freeze-dried food. When I think of those people sitting in the air-conditioned room drinking hot cocoa and playing poker, while I have to chat with a group of blue jackets, I want to ask if this is reasonable? I would rather not have the 50CR subsidy every day! What’s the use of money in this damn place? The natives don’t want these waste papers at all. How many times has this happened?”

  Ai Si: “…”

  Perhaps realizing that he was a little annoyed, Luo Hua sighed.

  ”Okay… I admit that I talk a lot, let’s get to work.”

  Ai Si: “Agree.”

  While it’s not snowing now, we have to prop up the barracks first.

  Taking out the folding bracket from the box that Ai Si brought earlier, Luo Hua carefully marked four points on the ground with the help of a protractor, inserted the bracket firmly, and then surrounded the four walls with plastic sheeting.

  The framework of a model house was thus created.

  Of course, this was not the end.

  Luo Hua then used a marker and a ruler to draw the doors and windows on the plastic film, while Ai Si, who was standing by, held a metal can with a nozzle and sprayed gray foam on the transparent plastic film.

  These foams were very light, had strong adhesion, and had a fine and uniform texture. The pore size was invisible to the naked eye, and the surface had a matte texture.

  Luo Hua took out a folding spatula and skillfully spread the foam sprayed on the plastic film evenly.

  The whole work looked as easy as spreading butter on plastic wrap.

  The light gray foam quickly formed a layer on the plastic film, and when it was completely solidified, the color of the foam gradually darkened, and the whole thing became a foam wall that looked no different from concrete.

  Of course, it was just an appearance.

  If you touch it with your hands, the texture of polymer materials and silicate materials is still very different.

  Standing by, [Knife Spare] stared with his eyes wide open and kept mumbling.

  ”What the hell? What kind of material is this? Polyurethane? It doesn’t look like it… Can you just spray it on the plastic film? Can this thing be used as an exterior wall?”

  Ye Shi said with a smirk: “Be more imaginative. The background setting is in the future. Is it strange to build a house with foam?”

  Daoxia Liuren held back for a while and finally convinced himself.

  ”That’s right, after all, it’s a game.”

  As a game setting, it’s not unacceptable.

  The first foam wall was completed quickly, and the second wall was done in the same way. When the two NPCs finished the construction of the second wall, the first wall was completely dry.

  In less than 30 minutes, a windproof, rainproof and warm mobile barracks was completed.

  Although the shelf life is less than one year and the quality is not as reliable as the regular “silicate material”, it is completely sufficient as a temporary facility!

  Chu Guang, who was standing on the third floor of the sanatorium, looked at it with envy.

  These guys really have a lot of good stuff.

  I have to find a way to get some…

  At this time, old Luca, who came back from outside, walked towards the guests who came from afar and handed Luo Hua a VM.

  Luo Hua looked at the old man strangely and didn’t reach out to take it.

  ”We don’t carry this stuff.”

  Old Luca said respectfully.

  ”This is what the manager asked me to send to you. It can help you have some simple communication with the residents of these shelters.”

  Only then did Luo Hua remember the language barrier, so he stopped refusing and took the VM from Luca’s hand.

  ”Okay, thank you.”

  Luca nodded slightly.

  ”You’re welcome.”

  …

  After the barracks were built, two signs, one large and one small, were put up at the door, with Chinese characters on them, [Office of the “Pioneer” Outpost 404] and [Volunteer Registration Office].

  That’s right.

  These words were written by Chu Guang, and they looked pretty neat.

  At the same time, almost all players near the outpost received a message reminder on their VM, and players without VM also heard the broadcast echoing in the base.

  [Server Announcement: Quartermaster NPC is now online! New building added to the outpost – “Pioneer” Outpost 404 Office! 】

  【Quartermaster Luo Hua: Dear residents of Shelter No. 404, I salute you! I am the quartermaster from the “Pioneer”, and our land fortress has encountered some trouble. This request may be a bit presumptuous, but we need you! 】

  【Hint 1: The quartermaster from the Pioneer seems to be in trouble. An exclamation mark appears on the map. Go and talk to him quickly. 】

  【Hint 2: The VM character page now updates the expansion pack exclusive activity score. Go to the new area to perform tasks to obtain activity points! Characters without VM can check their scores from NPC Luca or administrator assistant Xiaoqi, or log in to the official website after logging off! 】

  A circle of people surrounded the door of the barracks.

  Almost at the moment of receiving the announcement, the players ran so fast that they almost overturned the table at the door.

  ”Me, me, me! Tail wants to sign up!”

  ”Choose me! I’m a strength system! I’m great at moving bricks!”

  ”Fuck! Save your energy for moving bricks! Stop squeezing, I’m going to die!”

  ”How can I squeeze in here?” Yaya, who couldn’t squeeze in no matter what, stamped her feet anxiously at the edge of the crowd. She stood on tiptoe to look inside, and the whole person was desperate. The

  collision volume of this game is too annoying!

  It would be great if I could pass through other players like other MMORPGs.

  ”Give up,” looked up at her, sighed, and looked up at the sky, “This feels like a popular milk tea shop suddenly opened downstairs. Anyway, I can never get in line, so I might as well wait until they are cold before trying it.” Yaya suddenly came to his

  senses.

  ”That makes sense… Anyway, it rotates every three days, and we can still wait for the first wave of players’ guides.”

  Teng Teng nodded in agreement.

  ”Really?”

  Unexpectedly, the residents here were so enthusiastic. Luo Hua, who was responsible for registering the list, was a little unprepared for a while.

  Ai Si, who was standing next to him, was also stunned.

  She actually saw a bear in the crowd?

  And it was a white bear.

  ”…How come there is a bear?”

  Luo Hua, sweating profusely, had no time to care about these things. He was only busy taking photos with a tablet and registering, and was busy handing out numbered work badges to people.

  ”Who knows, it’s probably their pet… Come and help me!”

  Ai Si: “…”

  It was the first time she saw such a well-behaved bear, and it looked furry.

  Hmm. A bit

  like RUA.

  There was chaos at the entrance of the office.

  Fortunately, the manager had anticipated this situation in advance and sent a helper to assist him in completing the registration work.

  After completing the personnel registration.

  Luo Hua set up a large pot and antenna on the top of the barracks. After a short debugging, he finally received the contact signal sent by the “Pioneer”.

  The voice of a colleague from the logistics department came from the radio station.

  ”…How is the situation over there?”

  Luo Hua: “It’s going very smoothly, it’s beyond my imagination! These blue jackets are so enthusiastic. As soon as our office opened, they all swarmed up…To be honest, I’m a little touched. I didn’t expect that there would be such a group of kind people living in the remote inland area!”

  There was silence on the communication channel for a while.

  Li De coughed dryly and continued.

  ”…It’s quite surprising.”

  Luo Hua: “Let’s not talk about my side. How long will it take for you to get there? From the looks of them, they can’t wait.”

  Li De: “It’s almost there. Our captain is 2 kilometers away from you.”

  Luo Hua: “Captain?”

  Li De: “Yes, he is leading the team in person to escort our reinforcements.”

  …

  Leaning her shoulder against the door of the weapon shop, biting a frozen dogtail grass in her mouth, Xia Yan looked at the bustling scene at the door of the office from afar.

  No players came to bother her today. They all went to line up at the new “NPC”.

  After working here for so long, she has accepted the identity of “NPC”.

  However, she would occasionally be confused by this identity, because Chu Guang always emphasized the difference between NPCs and players, and said that NPCs rarely called themselves NPCs, just like players rarely called themselves players.

  So what is the meaning of this identity?

  This role-playing is really weird.

  At this time, Chu Guang walked towards her with a long shuttle-shaped weapon.

  ”I need you to make something for me. This is a sample. Try to use tungsten steel or other metals with a higher melting point. The others can be copied in a one-to-one ratio.”

  ”Okay, I’ll help you take a look later.”

  Reaching out to take the strange-shaped shuttle, Xia Yan looked at the exoskeleton on Chu Guang’s body curiously and asked, “Where did you get this exoskeleton?”

  Seeing that someone finally noticed the difference between him and yesterday, Chu Guang smiled.

  ”Handsome, right?”

  ”Not bad,” Xia Yan couldn’t help rolling her eyes in her heart when she saw the guy’s cocky look, “So where did you get it?” ”

  I picked it up.”

  Xia Yan: “…”

  Chu Guang smiled and said, “Just kidding, I found it in the shelter.”

  Xia Yan said helplessly, “I just asked casually. If you are not convenient to answer, then forget it. By the way, how did you get involved with the people in the enterprise?”

  ”They came yesterday and helped us deal with the mutants on Street 76… Is there any problem?”

  Noticing Xia Yan’s strange expression, Chu Guang couldn’t help but cast an inquiring look at her.

  ”No, I just find it a little unbelievable,” Xia Yan looked at the two people not far away with an intriguing expression on her face, “A long, long time ago, an expeditionary force of the Enterprise came to Qingquan City.”

  ”Expeditionary force?”

  ”Yes, but that was a long time ago. And I heard that the ‘Enterprise’ is very large, with numerous internal factions, and they are gathered in the east coast area. I heard that they were not called the Enterprise at first, but because they changed their vests frequently, others simply called them the Enterprise. Later, they may have gotten used to it, or they may have felt that this vest was the most famous, so they also began to call themselves the Enterprise.”

  Chu Guang looked at her in surprise.

  ”You know all this?”

  Xia Yan said indifferently, “It’s not a secret, but the expeditionary army happened a long time ago. I wasn’t even born then.”

  Chu Guang: “Then do you know what they are here for?”

  ”What else can they do? Since they are an expeditionary army, they must be fighting a war?” Xia Yan gave him a strange look, “Anyway, I only heard that they lost in the end. Later, it was hard to see their people in the whole Qingquan City, but their caravans could often be seen coming here to do business.”

  It seems that the people of Qingquan City are quite tough.

  But think about it, with a straight-line distance of thousands of kilometers and a supply line of tens of thousands of kilometers, it would be a miracle if they didn’t lose.

  After hearing some interesting information, Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction.

  ”Okay, I’ll talk to you when I get back. I plan to go out for a while. If you have anything, contact Xiaoqi, it can find me.”

  Xia Yan: “Where are you going? What fortress?”

  ”What are we going there for?” Chu Guang glanced at the map on the VM and set a coordinate on it. “There is a signal tower on 76th Street. If nothing goes wrong, it should be near the mutant’s nest. I plan to go there to look for it and see if it can be repaired.”

  Luca is helping to watch over the “Pioneer”, so Chu Guang doesn’t need to go there in person. His players are his eyes, and what they see will naturally be shared on the forum.

  The top priority now is to repair the signal tower.

  After the signal tower is repaired, the communication radius of Shelter No. 404 can at least cover the entire northern suburbs of Qingquan City, and the range of drone activities will be further expanded.

  At that time, whether it is to send tasks to players or to peek at his little players, it will be much more convenient than it is now.

  ”You should pay attention to safety. How about taking two people with you?”

  This is definitely not because of concern. Xia Yan is simply worried that she will lose this meal ticket.

  Even her father who didn’t know where he died didn’t raise her like this. It doesn’t matter whether he is a devil or not. She now thinks that devils are pretty good.

  ”That’s right.”

  Chu Guang thought about it and felt that it made sense.

  However, now the players’ interests are focused on the expansion pack, and they may not be interested in doing ordinary tasks.

  But Chu Guang is not in a hurry, it will only take a while.

  There are currently 250 players in the server, and his contract with Captain Lu Yang only allows the dispatch of 200 workers. This also means that no matter how hard they fight, there will definitely be 50 small players who will not get the qualifications and will beat their chests and stamp their feet, heartbroken.

  As a manager with high emotional intelligence, Chu Guang feels that he needs to comfort them who are hurt.

  Yeah.

  When the time comes, pick two high-quality human cannon fodder and follow me to stroll around the mutant’s nest.
