Chapter 21 Hostile Forces! New information unlocked!

  Chapter 21 Hostile Forces! New intelligence unlocked!

  At about 3:00 p.m.,

  Chu Guang returned to the outpost on the surface of Shelter 404 with Ye Shi and the prey they had hunted.

  The harvest from this outing was quite gratifying. Although the two mutant hyenas looked a little thin, they each weighed about 40 to 50 kilograms.

  As one of the main sources of meat for the survivors in the wasteland, mutant hyenas are the most cost-effective prey. The meat they can provide is more than ten times that of mutant mice, and there are also many of them. They often appear in groups of three or five, and the most important thing is that the risk of food poisoning is not too high.

  However, in contrast, without a gun, it is difficult for ordinary scavengers to defeat this kind of alien species that acts in groups with cold weapons.

  ”Two mutant hyenas, and… one good news and one bad news.” Chu Guang said as he threw the prey at the door of the sanatorium, looking at the players coming towards him.

  Lao Bai asked first.

  ”What is the good news?”

  Chu Guang replied.

  ”The good news is that there is an unfinished construction site northeast of the wetland park along the elevated road leading north out of the city. We found a lot of limestone for the project there, which should have been desulfurized. There are also some abandoned carts that should be usable after repair.”

  Lao Bai’s face was filled with joy, and he clenched his fists excitedly.

  ”Great!”

  He was worried about not being able to find the raw materials for refining calcium carbonate cement, but he didn’t expect the problem to be solved so quickly.

  And it’s ready-made materials!

  However, Fang Chang, who was standing next to him, felt that things were not that simple.

  ”What about the bad news?”

  Chu Guang continued.

  ”At the main east gate of the wetland park, continue along Street 76, there is a mutant camp. Roughly estimated, there are more than 20 of them.”

  The three players looked at each other and did not understand the meaning of this sentence.

  Seeing the confusion of his companions, Ye Shi hurriedly supplemented the explanation.

  ”Mutants are hostile forces! They are strong in combat, and the most important thing is that they eat people. We must be careful!”

  Chu Guang nodded.

  ”That’s about it.”

  After hearing this, the three players were not afraid, but showed eager expressions. However, Chu Guang quickly poured cold water on their excitement.

  ”Those mutants are not what we can deal with now. They are at least level 10. If we contact them rashly, we will not only be killed, but also expose our position.”

  ”From now on, no one is allowed to approach Street 76, and is also prohibited from leaving the east gate of the Wetland Park until the threat is lifted!”

  …

  The players are quite obedient.

  Although they are curious about what the mutants look like, they dare not disobey the order since the administrator who holds the GM authority has said so.

  Being locked up in a small dark room is a small matter.

  It is too uncomfortable to lose the favorability that has been hard to increase.

  It seems that there is no need for me to worry too much about the players.

  After a brief inspection of the work results of the morning, Chu Guang concentrated on thinking about how to deal with the prey he had just caught.

  Although he had eaten this thing before, he bought it at the barbecue stall on Bette Street. He had never dealt with this kind of thing himself.

  Chu Guang only heard that the prey that had just been captured needed to be bled immediately, otherwise the meat would become fishy and smelly. As for how to bleed it specifically and what to do after bleeding, he was not very clear.

  In the past five months, he mainly relied on picking up garbage to earn chips, and he did not have much experience in hunting.

  After all, hunting is too dangerous for a lone traveler. Anyway

  , after killing the prey, he cut the prey’s aorta, but he always felt that the blood was not drained clean.

  Just as Chu Guang was thinking about it, Kuangfeng walked towards him.

  ”Respected Manager.”

  ”What’s the matter?”

  ”Can you give me some blood from the prey?”

  ”Blood? What do you want that for?” Chu Guang asked.

  Kuangfeng explained.

  ”I want to verify some conjectures and need it.”

  Chu Guang didn’t think much about it. He picked up the short knife, chopped off a front leg from the mutant hyena in front of him, and threw it into Kuangfeng’s hand.

  ”Take it.”

  ”Thank you!”

  After Kuangfeng thanked him, he left mysteriously.

  Although Chu Guang was curious, he didn’t ask much.

  Around dusk, all the players returned to the sanatorium. Seeing the expression on Lao Bai’s face, he knew that today’s harvest must be great.

  Chu Guang wanted to ask about it, but before he could ask, Lao Bai couldn’t wait to speak.

  ”Dear Administrator, under your wise guidance, the cement kiln at the outpost has been basically completed. When the cement dries tomorrow, we can start to test-fire the first batch of cement!”

  ”Very good.”

  Chu Guang nodded approvingly and encouraged.

  ”Thanks to you, we are one step closer to the great goal of reviving the People’s Federation! I hope you will keep up the good work, and the organization will remember your contributions.”

  Chu Guang felt that he was becoming more and more skilled in painting cakes.

  However, the players didn’t seem to care whether he was painting cakes or not. It seemed that they had discovered new fun from the labor of rebuilding their homes.

  To put it bluntly, isn’t this what sandbox games are like?

  Watching your home get better little by little is also part of the fun. It is a lucky thing to be the first to experience this epoch-making immersive virtual reality technology.

  Chu Guang was of course happy that these players could enjoy it.

  The shelter is too poor now, and he really can’t give them any substantial rewards. He can only draw pie in the sky and give them some air coins.

  …

  After going offline.

  The Cow and Horse Club is bustling again.

  Recently, many night owls have changed their schedules to the living world.

  Led by brother “Quit Smoking”, people who used to go to bed before dawn now go to bed on time at 10 pm every day and get up on time at 5 am, just to watch a few dog managers “do something”.

  Ye Shi: [Mutants! New force update! The manager encountered a mutant settlement on Street 76! To confirm that mutants are a hostile force! ]

  Ye Shi, who went offline first, couldn’t wait to be the first to bubble up, igniting the gossip enthusiasm of group friends.

  [Mutants?! What do they look like? ]

  [Why hasn’t it been updated on the official website? ]

  [Awesome! The enemy forces are here, the internal test should be coming soon! ]

  [Fuck, I really want to play! ]

  A series of news was released.

  Ye Shi continued typing.

  [I don’t know what it looks like yet, I haven’t seen it either! But don’t panic, the official website will definitely update the information about mutants, I’m also waiting for news here! ] Quit

  Smoking: [Where are the other three people? Why are you the only one online today? ]

  Ye Shi: [I don’t know! The boss seems to be studying cement, Kuangfeng should have classes in the morning, I don’t know about Fang Chang, this guy has always been very mysterious. ]

  (Public Enemy of Girls Ye Shi was banned for 1 hour by the group owner for the second time.)

  Lao Bai: [You are calling me the boss again! (Angry)]

  Spare someone under the knife: [Hahaha, good ban! ]

  WC really has mosquitoes: [Excited… Wait two more days, I can participate in the test! ]

  Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes: [+1 (funny.jpg)]

  Quit Smoking: [Fuck! Ban these two show-offs too! Too hateful! I made the reservation first! TT】

  Ye Aonaiwohe: [Alas, it’s hopeless, it’s really hopeless. ]

  Even now, this brother named “Ye Aonaiwohe” still doesn’t believe in the nonsense of “fully immersive virtual reality online games”, let alone “100% real”.

  He and his fans still firmly believe that this is a trick of dog managers who have joined forces to spread rumors.

  ”The future is long” did not bubble up in the group today, but updated today’s trial experience on the official website forum –

  or handwritten game live.

  [Today is the third day of the closed test. The charcoal kiln provided us with a large amount of charcoal, and with the successful firing of plant ash cement, we built a larger cement kiln under the leadership of the boss. If tomorrow’s trial firing is successful, we will get more reliable building materials to build our homes. ]

  [I have to praise the production team. The experience brought to me by this game is something that no game released on the market has ever brought me. Especially when the cement kiln is completed, the sense of accomplishment that comes with it is simply too much to stop and can’t help but addicted! 】

  【Today’s test content is not much, mainly testing the game’s sandbox system. 】

  【However, it is worth noting that today the administrator revealed to us that there is a mutant tribe at the end of Street 76, which has been confirmed as a hostile force. All players need to be careful to avoid it, but the administrator did not reveal more information about the mutants. As of now, the official website has not updated the mutant photos. Perhaps the plot has not reached there yet. 】

  【If there is new information, I will update it in the post as soon as possible. Please continue to pay attention to this post! 】

  ”Tuyou” is the self-proclaimed name of the players who have made reservations.

  Although there are only about 40 people now, these people are all active-even fanatical users. It didn’t take long for the post to be covered dozens of floors.

  Chu Guang silently peeked at the screen and did not participate in the discussion of the players.

  But it was still the old rules. He wrote down some good opinions with his pen, and marked some players with special ideas in the background.

  If there is a new plan to recruit players, these loyal users will be given top priority, while those who like to argue and stir up trouble will be given a break. It is better to let them act as an atmosphere group online rather than letting them come in to make trouble.

  To put it bluntly, you are here to make trouble, why should we let you in?

  Just because you have a small face and a poor brain?

  At the current closed beta stage, Wasteland OL is actually more like a private server, and it is also an acquaintance server managed by a power dog, which will not give people the opportunity to make trouble. And by gradually increasing the reservation threshold, those players who have the game qualifications will also cherish the opportunity in their hands.

  As for the public beta stage, it is easier to say.

  The public beta naturally has its own gameplay.

  At that time, just enclose a piece of land as a novice village. Without a certain level or honorary title, you can’t even see him.

  Chu Guang found that he had become more and more sinister without realizing it.

  When did it start?

  Forget it.

  There is no point in thinking about such things.

  After turning off the computer, Chu Guang turned on the system and confirmed the rewards for today’s daily tasks.

  [Task: Cut down ten trees, reward: 1 bonus point]

  [Task: Kill an alien, reward: 3 bonus points]

  ”Today’s tasks are a bit too few.”

  Only 4 points in total.

  Chu Guang struggled with his thoughts, but finally couldn’t help it. He opened the manager’s allowance and threw all 4 bonus points on the primary blind box. The

  alloy door opened.

  The conveyor belt rolled.

  Looking at the 4 lollipops lying at the end of the conveyor belt, Chu Guang almost couldn’t help but spit out a friendly Chinese curse from his mouth.

  However, at this moment, above one of the lollipops with a light gold outer packaging, a line of translucent holographic pop-up windows suddenly floated up.

  Just like a label –

  [Reinforced Chocolate Flavored Lollipop: Strength increase +10%, duration 10 hours. ]

  Chu Guang: “?”

  What?
