Chapter 165: Changjiu Farm and clues to unlocking level B3!
Chapter 165: Changjiu Farm and the clues to unlocking the B3 floor!
At the same time.

]
Looking at the series of messages popping up on the VM, the little players standing in the open space exchanged surprised glances and started to discuss.
”Damn! The expansion pack is really over!”
”What the hell is the industrial index and commercial index both 0?”
”After all, the black workshops and black brick kilns are registered at the outpost, so there’s nothing wrong with the industrial index being 0. The NPCs are all gone, so the commercial index is also 0… I’m just guessing.” ”
Changjiu Farm? Where is Nonghe Farm? What about the things being planted? Why can’t I see anything?”
”+1! The operator is selling dog meat under the guise of sheep meat!”
At the same time, on the B2 floor of the shelter ten kilometers away, more than two hundred incubators were opened at the same time, and the sound of banging doors rang out one after another.
Not only the players who died in the previous battle.
There were also newcomers who just logged into the game.
More than two hundred people logged into the game at the same time!
Those newcomers still followed the old rules, letting them get excited in the room for a while, and after they were dressed and the radio in the room played the novice tutorial and user precautions, the alloy door would open.
As for the old players who had just resurrected, Chu Guang also locked them up and let them calm down for a while before letting them out.
After all, I have been holding it back for so long, and it is inevitable that I will do some stupid things when I am emotionally excited. This game does not allow you to register a small account, so it is better to do those things that will kill you alone when there is no one around.
This is also for their own good.
However…
Chu Guang still underestimated the power of withdrawal rebound.
As soon as the alloy door of the single room was opened, brother Makabazi rushed into the B2 floor lobby like a wild husky.
He slid forward, hugged the door of the central elevator with both hands, and poked the up button with his fingers like a convulsion, shouting excitedly while poking.
”Hahahaha! I’m back! The first place is mine!”
Soon, the sound of footsteps rushed from the corridor to the lobby, and followed the footsteps of brother Makabazi.
”Fuck! How can this guy run so fast! Is he a dog?”
”Don’t rush! There are only a few elevators, come one by one, I’ll go up first to help you explore the way and see if the snow is heavy!”
”Ahhh, let me go up first! I want to see Xiaoyu counting money!”
”You bastard, what’s so good about Xiaoyu! I want to see the handsome manager!”
”I was here first! It was obviously me first!” Makabazi, who was squeezed out of the crowd, screamed and cried when he saw the elevator going up.
They had opened a bet on the official website forum before, betting 1 silver coin, whoever left the shelter first would be the winner, and everyone else had to pay him.
In addition to the Trashman who was miserable and couldn’t get out, more than a hundred small players who were stuck with a bug participated.
More than a hundred!
One coin per person, it adds up to a huge sum of money!
There was a huge crowd in front of the elevator.
Those new players who were still in the back, slowly moving around, looking around, and sighing at how realistic the modeling was, were petrified on the spot after seeing the performance of these old players. What are
these people doing
? Is this game so wild?
Xia Yan, who was standing next to him with her arms folded, looked at the guys squeezing at the elevator door with disdain, and couldn’t help complaining to Xiao Qi next to her.
”Are these guys’ brains broken? Why do I feel that they are not very smart?”
Like old Luca, she probably guessed some inside information. These players are similar to clones and will not really die.
She didn’t know much about cloning technology. She only knew that this thing was not rare in the wasteland, so she didn’t take it too seriously.
Who knows?
Maybe there is a technology that can extract a tube of brain and re-create a clone. She is not an expert in studying this thing. Besides,
considering that every corpse, Chu Guang would carefully have someone take it back and throw it into the furnace that was used to refine something unknown.
Maybe it is really possible.
Xiao Qi moved the camera, looked at Xia Yan beside him, and said helplessly.
”The master said this is performance art, don’t worry about them. If someone does something strange, just let Xiao Qi deal with it.”
Performance art?
What is that?
Frowning and thinking for a long time, Xia Yan couldn’t figure it out, so she decided not to think about those troublesome things. She
walked in front of the new players.
She put down her arms in front of her chest, gently shook her fiery red hair, and scanned them with sharp eyes.
”Are you the newcomers sent by the organization?”
”Unfortunately, the administrator is not here, and I will train you today.”
”If you don’t want to be embarrassed, you’d better be obedient.”
The above is all the lines of the weapon shop owner.
The next part of the novice guidance will be carried out by the assistant and chief repeater of the administrator-Xiao Qi.
However…
it is obvious that no one pays attention to the little guy who looks like a wastebasket.
The new players who are still in shock have not very smart expressions on their faces, staring at the heroic boss Xia with their eyes straight.
Training?
Be obedient?
Wait, is this content that can be played without spending money?
…
With the new and old players coming online, the number of players in the “server” was full again, reaching the upper limit of 500 people.
Almost at the same time, Chu Guang’s manager system finally received a new non-daily task after a long absence.
And two of them were triggered at once!
[
Task: Explore Shelter No. 117.
Type: Main quest.
Requirements: Use the map information collection function of the VM to complete the exploration of all areas of Shelter No. 117, leaving no corner untouched.
Reward: Unlock the B3 layer.
]
[
Task: Find the VM of the manager of Shelter No. 117.
Type: Side
quest. Reward: 200 reward points.
]
”The authority of the B3 layer is actually related to Shelter No. 117?”
In the central square of the action camp, Chu Guang, who had just assigned tasks to the players here, touched his chin and looked at the two task cards updated in the system interface with interest.
Neither of these two tasks is difficult. Boss Xia knows the location of Shelter No. 117, and even the magnetic card for opening the door is here.
In this snowy and frozen weather, he doesn’t have to worry about mercenaries from the Boulder City coming to compete with him.
As long as he solves the alien species from the subway entrance to the shelter entrance, his little players can not only explore the map, but also scrape the ground!
As for the VM of the manager of Shelter No. 117, this requires a bit of luck, after all, no one can say for sure whether that guy is still in the shelter.
”The Iron Fist rocket launcher in the armory is just right for use. It seems that there are also ten light machine guns? It shouldn’t be a big problem to deal with the crawlers.”
Anyway, the firepower is definitely enough, so let the players worry about this task.
As for Chu Guang himself, he has more important things to complete.
They came to the east side of Changjiu Farm, where there was a foam-structured barracks where the Legion’s prisoners were held.
Twenty-six people squeezed into a room, all sleeping on the floor, wearing only a single piece of clothing, and had to stick to the water heating pipes because of the cold.
When Chu Guang arrived nearby with two small players of the strength system, the centurions in the barracks were whispering quietly.
”Those corporate people left…”
”They didn’t take us with them.”
”Are they going to leave us to the natives?”
Thinking of the hundreds of shelter residents who died in that battle, many people showed panic on their faces.
God knows how those barbarians will treat them.
Maybe they would throw them into the snow and watch them freeze to death, or they could let them kill each other and then cruelly execute the last survivor.
They were afraid because they had seen these things even if they had not done them.
In the Legion, similar methods were common. They were not only used against the enemy, but also occasionally used to punish their own people.
Vanus did not participate in their discussion, but just sat quietly against the wall, quietly waiting for his fate.
The answer was actually obvious.
The people of the enterprise refused to sell them to the local survivor base and refused to mediate, obviously not intending to let them live.
Now it was nothing more than a question of how to die.
At this time, the door of the barracks opened, and the cold wind wrapped in snow foam blew in all of a sudden, freezing the people at the door and huddled together, shivering.
Of course, it was not entirely because of the cold.
It was also partly because of the man standing at the door.
Here he comes!
Looking at Chu Guang’s face, Vanus felt his heart in his throat. He just hoped that these people would give him a quick death and not torture him for too long.
However, to his surprise, the shelter manager standing at the door did not immediately order them all to be executed.
Instead, he looked at them and said,
”From now on, you will be reformed by labor. If you want to live, you have to work.”
Looking down at the people in the cell with cold eyes, Chu Guang looked at them and continued.
”Who is your superior?”
A pair of eyes looked hesitantly at the man leaning against the wall in the cell.
Knowing that this thing could not be concealed at all, Vanus sighed in his heart and simply stood up from the ground.
”It’s me… my lord.”
Chu Guang always felt a little funny when he heard this guy call him lord.
Just when he was about to say that he had some backbone, he softened.
However, Chu Guang’s face still maintained an expressionless majesty, and his sharp eyes stared at the man.
”The rest of you stay here and wait for arrangements. As for you, come out with me.”
Following Chu Guang out of the barracks, Vanus felt that his legs were as stiff as if they were filled with lead. He always had a feeling that this road led to the execution ground.
But even so, he had to go.
The north wind was howling.
The wind and snow were like knives, whizzing at him. Vanus, who was only wearing a single layer of clothes, was frozen to the point that his lips were purple and blue, and his muscles were shaking uncontrollably.
The two little players next to Chu Guang whispered to each other.
”Damn, our manager is still a sadist.”
”He tortured people before hanging them.”
”Tsk, tsk, tsk, too miserable, too miserable.”
Chu Guang ignored the two little players’ whispers about the mission plot and took Vanus to the warehouse of Changjiu Farm, took out a piece of dead people’s clothes that the players had looted from the battlefield, and threw it in his hand.
”Put it on.”
Vanus, who thought he would be executed, was surprised when he took the fur coat with bullet holes, but he reacted quickly and did it.
Although the cold coat did not bring him a bit of warmth, at least it prevented his body temperature from disappearing so quickly.
”Your men will stay here to burn cement, carry stones, and build our home, while you will be assigned to a brick kiln ten kilometers away.”
Vanus swallowed his saliva to moisten his parched throat.
”Can I say a word?”
Chu Guang looked at him.
”Yes.”
He forced a smile from his frozen face and tried to suggest.
”I’m in the west and have family. I can pay the ransom for myself… How about 100,000 dinars? No, 200,000! I can take out all my property!”
Chu Guang: “Dinar?”
Vanus quickly explained: “That’s our currency, made of gold. Two hundred thousand dinars is enough to buy 100 strong slaves. They are not mass-produced cannon fodder. They are all capable of working and understanding human language, almost the same as normal people.”
Seeing the mocking smile on the man’s face, Vanus spoke faster, even a little flustered, and completely lost his previous calmness.
”Of course, if you are not interested in coolies, you can also use this money to buy dozens of beautiful female slaves. Their genes are excellent and they have been professionally trained… I promise you that I will pay the ransom, just ask you to let me live!”
It seems that the legion uses precious metals as currency and mainly trades in slaves.
But think about it, after all, their cloning technology is so advanced, there is no reason to produce only one kind.
The mass-produced clones are sent to the battlefield to charge and serve as cannon fodder, while the naturally grown clones and survivors serve as coolies and are sent to factories or mines to work.
The strength of this legion should not be underestimated.
Chu Guang interrupted his plea for mercy and said to him.
”When the next spring comes, if there is a caravan heading west, you can send a letter to your family and ask them to bring the ransom to redeem you.”
”But not now.”
”You, like your officers, need to undergo labor reform. This has nothing to do with the ransom. Do you understand what I mean?”
Although he felt humiliated, at least his life was saved.
Vanus moved his stiff neck and lowered his head.
”Understood…”
”I am willing to obey your arrangements.”
Whether this sentence is sincere or not is not important.
Chu Guang only needs to keep these troubles under his nose until the war situation in the north becomes clear.
After all, it is not appropriate to release or execute these people. If he does not arrange some work for them, Chu Guang feels that he is at a disadvantage.
He is not the group of good guys on the Pioneer who are willing to take out precious food to feed them for nothing.
In addition to Vanus who was sent to the brick factory, a total of 25 junior officers were issued a shovel and a fur coat that barely kept out the cold. Under the supervision of four guards armed with rifles, they cleared the snow from the open space and roads in the camp.
In the afternoon, they would be assigned to level the land outside the farm.
Chu Guang planned to build a cement factory to the south of Changjiu Farm. The cement produced would be used to build roads to connect the outpost to Changjiu Farm.
When the road is built, the commuting time from the outpost to Changjiu Farm will be shortened by more than half.
At that time, Chu Guang also planned to build roads to the subordinate towns in the north to facilitate his players to open up wasteland there and establish a new action camp in the farther TS city.
It is said that the survivors there will be slightly weaker and more scattered, not as strong as the Boulder City.
Since it is impossible to expand to the south, it is better to expand to the north.
Chu Guang plans to occupy all the land along the elevated road out of the northern suburbs of Qingquan City to absorb refugees from the northern part of the Valley Province.
Anyway, that’s the idea.
On the other hand, those little players who finally succeeded in resurrecting finally received compensation for missing the expansion pack.
The highest compensation is 300 silver coins, and the lowest is 150 silver coins. In addition, there are 100 activity points and a chance for everyone to win a prize.
The final lottery is the highlight of the entire expansion pack.
According to the rules announced on the official website.
100 activity points can be exchanged for an advanced gift box, which can be guaranteed to open a Legion Iron Pipe Rifle worth 100 silver coins. In the reward pool, there are also expensive, expansion-limited, and Pioneer-like assault rifles.
10 activity points can be exchanged for an intermediate gift box, which can be guaranteed to give out weapon accessories, armor, or medicines such as bandages. In the reward pool, there is also a red dot sight worth 233 silver coins that is limited to the expansion pack.
Although 1 activity point cannot be used for the lottery, it can be exchanged for 1 silver coin – but no one uses it to exchange.
Are you kidding? The gift box contains limited rewards!
If it contains a red dot sight, wouldn’t it be a big success?
Only a fool would exchange activity points for money!
Since not all players have VMs, the lottery for this expansion pack was arranged on the official website.
It was 6 o’clock in the evening in wasteland time, and 6 o’clock in the morning in real time.
The announcement of the exchange of gift boxes was updated on the official website on time.
When the players and cloud players squatting on the forum saw the dazzling reward pool, the whole server was instantly boiling!
