Chapter 202 It’s a miracle, sir

  Chapter 202 is a miracle, the Lord’s

  Zhongzhou Space Experimental Base.

  With the surrender of the predators in the underground ecological park of Building 3, the last sporadic resistance was also extinguished.

  When the captured predator leader “Ka” heard that they were defeated by a group of blue coats, every inch of muscle on his face was filled with disbelief.

  But whether he accepted it or not, the outcome of this war had been decided.

  From the beginning to the end of the battle, it took a total of 1 hour, 15 minutes and 7 seconds.

  More than 200 players participated in the battle, 28 died, 21 were injured, and except for 4 people who were seriously injured and chose to counter-attack, the rest were minor injuries that were not disabling.

  There were even 5 players with physical fitness, whose wounds had basically scabbed in less than half an hour after the end of the battle, and they turned from serious injuries to minor injuries, and from minor injuries to abrasions.

  At the same time, more than half of the losses in this battle were paid by the 40 players in Group A who served as the feint group.

  As a force that confronted the predators head-on, they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of manpower, terrain, and firepower, but they incredibly contained more than 80% of the predators’ combat power, and repelled the predators’ two consecutive charges, creating a decisive opportunity for the large forces on the eastern front.

  In recognition of their bravery, Chu Guang awarded a medal of honor to all 40 players.

  Although the medal in the closed beta version does not have a specific physical object, it is just a small logo that can be displayed on the VM character page and the forum personal homepage, but for players who are keen on unlocking and collecting game achievements, this reward is undoubtedly a pleasant surprise!

  On the predator side, the total number of participants was 152, 94 died, and the remaining 57 were all captured, and half of them were seriously injured.

  This battle was a great victory!

  …

  ”…If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe this battle report.”

  Vanus, who returned the VM in his hand to Chu Guang and watched the battle from beginning to end through the drone’s perspective, still had an expression of disbelief on his face.

  The equipment gap between the two sides was not obvious.

  Although Shelter No. 404 launched two rounds of support rockets, the morale-strike effect was significantly higher than the actual killing effect. On the other hand

  , the looters on the high ground had obviously more equipment from the legion they took over.

  Through the drone’s aerial images, Vanus saw at least five light machine guns.

  This is not counting the ones on the four trucks!

  In terms of terrain, the looters were high above, relying on existing houses and walls as shelters.

  The residents of the shelters on the hillside could only rely on the roots of pine trees and the snow piled around them… These could not be called reliable shelters at all, at most they could only be considered as a cover that was better than nothing.

  Vanus really couldn’t imagine how these residents of the shelters took down the entire high ground at the cost of only more than 30 people.

  Compared to Vanus’s disbelief, Chu Guang’s expression was expected.

  Although the casualties counted in the battle report were much lower than he expected, it basically met his expectations.

  Chu Guang took the VM from Vanus and put it away. He did not mention the bet for the time being, but looked at him and asked.

  ”What do you think of those predators?”

  Vanus pondered for a moment and gave an evaluation.

  ”They are not like ordinary predators.”

  However, Chu Guang was not satisfied with his answer.

  ”This is nonsense. Of course I know they are not ordinary predators. What I want to know is whether you see familiar shadows in them.”

  Vanus was slightly stunned, frowned and thought for a moment and said.

  ”… Now that you say it, it is indeed a bit like it. Although they have certain flaws in tactics, it can be seen that they have received professional training.”

  And the person who trained them is likely to be his former colleague!

  At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door of the temporary command post. A guard stood at the door and saluted.

  ”Report! The results of the interrogation have come out. We pried out from the mouths of those prisoners that they are only the vanguard, and the main force is still behind. Their leader asked them to hold on until dawn, saying that reinforcements will arrive before tomorrow morning.”

  Arriving before tomorrow morning is okay.

  A strange expression appeared on Chu Guang’s face.

  How confident must he be to think that this mob can hold out until tomorrow morning in front of his players?

  ”How many people are in their main force?”

  The guard shook his head and said.

  ”We can only confirm that it is a thousand-man team, but we don’t know the exact number.”

  Chu Guang looked at Vanus.

  ”What is the general size of the thousand-man team of the legion?”

  Vanus thought for a while and said.

  ”On average, there are about 2,000 people. If there are fewer, there are 1,000 people, and if there are more, there may be 5,000 people. It depends on the configuration of the ten-thousand-man team it belongs to. For example, the thousand-man team I led before was composed of 2,000 people, mainly light infantry, equipped with two howitzers. If they are confident that the reinforcements can arrive before dawn, they should be equipped with wheeled vehicles or other vehicles that can maneuver quickly.”

  Chu Guang tried to ask.

  ”Are there any tanks?”

  ”How can I know that?” Vanus said with a smile, “I sincerely suggest that you send a team of scouts to search north along the route they use to transport supplies.”

  ”I’ve already sent someone.”

  Chu Guang glanced at the map and saw that Fang Chang and the other two had left the original observation point and moved to the experimental base.

  He prepared some equipment for them there.

  It should come in handy.

  …

  At the same time, at the Zhongzhou Aerospace Ecological Experimental Base.

  On the devastated battlefield, Fang Chang and his party finally received the equipment supported by the administrator – two bicycles.

  ”Damn? Just give us two bicycles?”

  Looking at the crudely made and economically made bicycle in his hand, Ye Shi was completely dumbfounded and didn’t know where to start complaining.

  There are three people, at least give them three!

  Lao Bai, who had reunited with them a few minutes ago, smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

  ”The trucks are all used to transport supplies, so it’s good enough to give you two bicycles. Be content. Many people came here by car, and have to walk back when they leave!”

  Unlike the picky Ye Shi, Kuang Feng didn’t have any objections to the means of transportation in his hands.

  After all, he rode this thing to go to class every day.

  ”Old White, are you coming?”

  ”I’m not going to come, I’m already so injured.” Old White lifted his clothes up, revealing the bandage on his stomach.

  There were two bloodstains there.

  Even though it had dried up, it was still shocking to look at!

  Looking at the wound, Ye Shi was shocked.

  ”Fuck, are you okay?!”

  Old White said with a smile.

  ”What can happen in the game? Go back to the incubator and lie down later. Maybe you will be completely healed by tomorrow.”

  At this time, Fang Chang suddenly remembered something and looked at him and said.

  ”Speaking of which, Old White, I wanted to ask you just now, how did you get the first kill?”

  Hearing this, Old White’s expression suddenly became a little subtle, and he looked away awkwardly.

  ”Uh, if I say I picked it up, would you believe it?”

  Fang Chang rolled his eyes at him and threw the question back.

  ”What do you think?”

  …

  Inside the experimental base.

  Five trucks drove up to the high ground, and with the four trucks seized from the looters, a total of nine trucks were parked neatly in a row on the open ground.

  Under the command of the deputy captain of the guard team, the players were carrying large and small bags of loot and grunting to load them onto the trucks.

  Cleaning the battlefield is also part of the campaign.

  Although the seized supplies are “mission props” and belong to the shelter collectively, these mission props can provide additional “war points” for all players participating in the campaign during the reward settlement phase after the campaign. That’s

  why the players are moving so hard.

  If there weren’t guards watching, these guys might have even moved the tables and chairs in the laboratory up!

  Battlefield atmosphere group: “Wait, why can’t corpses be considered loot? Can’t they be used to produce resurrection coins?”

  I am the darkest: “This is unreasonable!”

  Construction site boy and brick: “I can help drive, let’s make a few more trips, and I guarantee that there will be no land left in this experimental base!”

  The players next to the truck chattered and made a lot of noise.

  Walking over from a distance, Lv Bei looked at the boxes of supplies on the truck and couldn’t help sighing.

  ”We should be able to have a good year this year!”

  Nearly 50,000 rounds of ammunition filled dozens of large boxes. Bundles of cotton-padded clothes and bedding for the winter,

  15 tons of green wheat, 15 tons of sheep’s horn potatoes, filled several trucks!

  It can be seen that it took the looters a lot of time to transport these supplies from the rear.

  In addition, there are more than 30 boxes of dried rats, cockroach slices, mysterious meat jerky, and a large amount of nutritional paste of unknown ingredients.

  However, the administrator does not seem to intend to keep these suspicious foods of unknown origin.

  The nutritional paste was poured down the hillside, and the dried rats, cockroach slices, and meat jerky were thrown into the fire and burned. As much as can be burned is as much as possible.

  The order issued by the administrator is to evacuate from here before twelve o’clock, and take away all the supplies that can be used first.

  As for those that are not useful and inconvenient to take away, they will be destroyed on the spot, and it is imperative to ensure that not a single usable bullet is left for the looters!

  At this time, Lu Bei suddenly saw a few strange boxes. He opened the lid and was shocked.

  They were artillery shells!

  ”Why are there still artillery shells here?”

  Lu Bei counted them and found that there were quite a few, more than 50 rounds. The caliber looked quite large. He gestured with his hand and it was about 10 centimeters.

  But he didn’t see any artillery here?

  These looters wouldn’t use them as bombs, right?

  The slightly older guard standing next to him said.

  ”Maybe the artillery is in the back. I heard that the vanguard arrived here first.”

  ”Just the vanguard?!” Looking at the residents of the shelter who were preparing to evacuate, Lu Bei said nervously, “What if those looters attack? Isn’t it too early for us to evacuate now?”

  The slightly older guard continued with a smile.

  ”What are you afraid of! We dismantled the fuel rods in the reactor and took away their supplies. Even if they take back the high ground, what will happen? Can they still turn out food!”

  …

  Next to the construction site for loading and unloading supplies.

  Chu Guang, wearing a power armor, finally saw the 4-meter-long lizard in a dirty tent.

  Speaking of which, after traveling to the wasteland for so long, this is the first time Chu Guang has seen the Death Claw with his own eyes.

  And it was at such a close distance!

  Looking at the beast in front of him, Chu Guang fell into deep thought.

  From this point of view…

  Junk King and this thing really look a bit like each other.

  ”Xiao Qi.”

  ”Yes, Master, may I ask you for anything?”

  ”Take a photo with this Death Claw.”

  ”……?”

  Although Xiao Qi was confused by the master’s request, he still landed the drone and took a photo of Chu Guang and the Death Claw at the door of the tent.

  The photo was sent to the helmet.

  Chu Guang admired his own look for a while and nodded with satisfaction.

  Not bad.

  I’ll use this selfie to post on the official website later!

  At this time, Chu Guang suddenly noticed that the Death Claw’s eyes had opened at some point, and a pair of amber pupils were staring at him.

  Chu Guang, who was being stared at, was not at all flustered. He silently pulled out the nitrogen-powered hammer on his back, and his index finger had already hit the touch button on the hammer handle.

  As if sensing the danger from the hammer, the Death Claw lying on the ground instantly became much more obedient.

  After taking a look at the metal collar on the Death Claw’s neck, Chu Guang then looked at the old man wrapped in a robe standing in the tent.

  Just as Lao Bai mentioned in the forum, this man was obviously different from those predators in terms of both his dress and temperament.

  Especially the gray robe with a hood, which always gave him a mysterious feeling.

  Without any nonsense, Chu Guang got straight to the point and asked.

  ”What is hanging around its neck?”

  The old man replied softly.

  ”It’s a miracle, sir.”

  Chu Guang was slightly stunned and glared at the old man.

  ”Speak human language.”

  The old man said unmoved.

  ”The name of this device is Miracle, sir. If you insist on explaining it, it allows us to establish spiritual communication with alien species.”

  Through the old man’s determined eyes, Chu Guang can now confirm that this guy probably doesn’t know how to explain this thing, nor how it works.

  But it doesn’t matter.

  There are exactly two experts in the shelter, one is proficient in mechanical equipment such as implants, and the other is proficient in biology.

  Chu Guang believes that one of them will definitely be interested in this thing.

  Putting aside the question of the death claw for the time being, Chu Guang looked at the old man and asked.

  ”Let me change the question. Who are you?”

  The old man said softly.

  ”An apostle of the Torch Church, sir, you can regard me as a neutral third party.”

  Torch?

  … Church?

  Hearing the familiar word “torch”, Chu Guang’s face showed a strange expression, looking at the old man in front of him who seemed to have not figured out the situation.

  ”You were captured by me on the plunderer’s position, and you still have the nerve to tell me that you are a neutral third party?”

  Looking at the stunned old man, Chu Guang continued.

  ”We will settle the account with Torch later.”

  ”Now, take your things and follow me.”

  ”I will take you to where the prisoners should stay.”

  …

  The sky was getting light.

  With the roar of the engine, three pickup trucks with steel plates cruised around the outside of the experimental base, but finally did not muster up the courage to drive up the high ground and left to the north.

  A few hours later.

  At noon.

  The three pickup trucks with steel plates came back again.

  In addition to these three vehicles, there were more than 200 plunderers, led by 20 centurions, divided into 20 teams, and pressed up the high ground from the east and west at the same time.

  The man holding a telescope in his hand, with only a tuft of hair on his head, looked in the direction of the experimental base, with a triumphant smile on his lips.

  ”It seems that those people have escaped.”

  His name is Steel Teeth. He is a centurion of the Bone Chewing Tribe. He belongs to the Thousand-Man Team under the Black Snake and is also a direct descendant of the clan of the chief of the Bone Chewing Tribe.

  The man standing next to him at this moment, wearing a dark blue thick coat and an eye patch on his left eye, is named Kevin. He was once a legion centurion of the expeditionary army.

  After General Kras was defeated, he happened to meet the people of the Bone Chewing Tribe on his way to the south.

  These predators are very interesting.

  After seeing the dark blue coat on him, they did not attack him for the first time, but gladly accepted him.

  Kevin was confused by them for a while.

  You know, after catching the people of the legion, the general predators will be excited to make them into human leather sofas or other things and show them off as trophies.

  However, these predators are very pragmatic.

  The deserters of the legion who were incorporated into the Bone Chewing Tribe have transformed themselves and have taken up positions such as staff officers and instructors in the Bone Chewing Tribe.

  Here Kevin also met many deserters who had no hope of returning home like him.

  Thinking that there was nowhere to go anyway and that he had no other skills to make a living except fighting, he stayed here.

  Looking at the overly excited Steel Teeth, Kevin felt that he should remind him, so he coughed lightly and said.

  ”This is not a good sign… Since they chose to evacuate, it means that in their eyes, this place has lost its original strategic value.”

  Hearing this, the excited Steel Teeth’s expression suddenly became gloomy.

  At this moment, his subordinates trotted over and sent him the battle report from the front line.

  Just as Kevin’s crow mouth said, the worst thing happened after all.

  His people easily recaptured the experimental base, but there was only an empty shell left here.

  Those who attacked them not only took away the supplies prepared by their troops, but also dismantled the fuel rods in the ecological park under Building 3!

  The only ones left were about twenty seriously injured wounded, who were thrown directly into the lobby of Building 3 and were now lying on the floor wailing with their last breath. This group of

  shameful thieves!

  Cowards who fear war!

  And those teammates are so stupid! They can’t even hold on to such a high ground for one night!

  Gangya clenched his fists and looked at the direction of the experimental base, his eyes spurting out anger.

  Those were the supplies they looted from many survivors’ strongholds, and there was even a share for him, and all of this was to pave the way for the army to go to the front line.

  Kevin could probably guess what he was thinking, but he still made a cautious suggestion.

  ”Without supplies, even if we send a large force here, we can only suffer from cold and hunger here… This place has lost its strategic value, let’s retreat.”

  ”We can’t just let it go!” Gangya narrowed his eyes dangerously and said hatefully, “They should be the survivors in this area! We have to take the supplies back!”

  Kevin looked at him, stunned.

  Take it back?

  From those crazy people who took this high ground in just one night? Does

  this guy really know what he is talking about? ? ?
