Chapter 529 We are in the same group!

  Chapter 529 We are in the same group!

  There is a species called sandworm in Luoxia Province. When it stands up, it is as tall as a building. It can kill a kid at a time, and its combat power is amazing.

  In front of that guy, let alone the awakened, even the power armor can be broken.

  At that time, a widely circulated saying on the forum was that the fierce destructive power of sandworms would destroy all infrastructure outside the river bank. If the problem of sandworm infestation is not solved, it would be useless for the alliance to build more roads and railways in Luoxia Province.

  It is precisely because of this that many players further speculated that in order to ensure the smooth progress of construction, the alliance would issue a large-scale task of exterminating sandworms in the form of limited-time activities. Some high-level players even deduced a series of tactics for this special species of sandworms.

  However, to the surprise of many people, the limited-time event did not appear.

  And the sandworms that they originally expected to have a major impact on the direction of the war did not even appear in the vision of the front-line troops and logistics troops.

  This is certainly not because the sandworms are afraid of the alliance. After all, it is too idealistic to expect the beasts to think so much. The real reason is that the transport route from the frontline troops to the logistics troops of the alliance perfectly avoids all the areas where sandworms are active.

  Then the question is, the areas where sandworms are active will not be written on the map by themselves. Even the most experienced merchants dare not assert that they know the location of every sandworm nest in the desert. How did the alliance headquarters do it?

  This is a long story.

  At that time, in order to ensure that the highway and railway leading to the Lion Kingdom could be smoothly started, Chu Guang specially sent the Guards Corps to conduct in-depth investigations in nearby villages and asked merchants who often traveled along the trade route in Luoxia Province.

  After some investigation, it was found that although the combat effectiveness of sandworms is strong, their reproductive ability is actually very weak. They stay in one place all year round and do not move, and do not expand the size of the population.

  Later, the Biological Research Institute of Shelter No. 79 conducted a further in-depth investigation on its project and found an amazing coincidence-the sandworm nests and the underground ocean current pipelines in the pre-war era highly overlapped!

  After an in-depth investigation of one of the sandworm nests, the biologists of the Alliance discovered that the nest of that thing grew on a damaged ocean current pipeline. The

  next problem is easy to solve.

  Isn’t it enough to choose the location of the roads and railways and the location of the front-line positions to bypass the areas where the underground ocean current pipelines are active?

  It’s that simple.

  This is also the most efficient and economical approach. In fact, this is what the Legion did when planning marching routes and deploying positions.

  After all, where there are sandworms, there are abundant groundwater resources. There are often not only sandworms, but also dangerous mutant arthropods such as radiation scorpions lurking there, which are not suitable as stable transportation routes. It may be okay when there are many people, but when there are fewer people, the alien species will start to stir.

  This is also one of the contests between the two sides in invisible places. Although there is no gunpowder smoke, it may not be less exciting than places with gunpowder smoke.

  After all, if the managers of the alliance at that time blindly believed the views of one party because of rumors on the forum or a little disturbance, and fully mobilized players to launch a campaign to eliminate sandworms, the final result would most likely become a classic case of strategic decision-making mistakes – treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

  After all, considering the situation in the wasteland, unless the damaged ocean current pipeline is completely repaired or the water source is cut off, the mutant creatures in Luoxia Province will eventually gather towards the only water source.

  In the short term, the road can pass through the corpse of the sandworm, the distance can be shorter, and the one-time construction cost of the road and railway will be cheaper. Maybe the alliance can also get the title of “Sandworm Conqueror” and prestige +10.

  But in the next few months, the alliance’s logistics and front-line troops will have to fight the legion with high-loss debuffs, weakening combat efficiency and increasing non-combat casualties.

  And in the end, even if the war is won, the alliance and its vassals will enjoy a period of peace and tranquility. Due to the special situation in the wasteland, the sandworms that once stood at the top of the food chain will eventually come back in another form.

  For example, they may evolve into the kind of “digging beasts” or other things that can migrate freely in the Great Desert, or be replaced by more “less powerful but equally deadly” alien species.

  The consequences of this mean that the Alliance has to allocate hundreds or even thousands of people to the task of “highway patrol” for a long time, and the railways and highways will become a loss-making project due to the accumulated risk costs.

  Perhaps the Alliance will be unable to bear it one day in the future and will make up its mind to build another one.

  If the Alliance has enough and cheap manpower, it can certainly ignore natural science and even go against it. But unfortunately, the shelter did not issue Chu Guang more closed beta qualifications.

  Sometimes Chu Guang even couldn’t help but think conspiracy theories, whether the first generation of managers guessed that he would think of taking shortcuts, so they deliberately tightened the release of the “gene sequence”.

  After all, there are too many players, and game companies really can treat players as non-human beings. This is not just a problem for a certain large company.

  The “Sandworm Investigation Report” is just a small episode in the expedition.

  After listening to the reports of the logistics system, professional life players and alliance researchers, Chu Guang made a relatively reasonable judgment.

  Since the incident itself was not a big deal and only a few players participated in the investigation, he did not elaborate on it in the update announcement.

  After all, compared to the war with the Legion, the investigation of the scientific expedition team and the experiments, discussions, and analysis of the researchers were just a small matter at the time.

  Similar situations happen almost every day.

  Chu Guang hears more than a hundred threats that are more direct than Binaguo every day. There are countless strange species and technological creations circulating in the wasteland.

  If the wastelanders have seen all kinds of strange things and are not surprised even by the talking death claws, then he must be a master. The amount of information he has heard and seen from Xiaoqi or the players must account for at least half of the “total information output value” of the alliance.

  Unless the alliance builds a huge wall like the Stone City, it is almost impossible to form a top-down or bottom-up three-dimensional defense mechanism in a stable environment through the concerted efforts of billions of people like the countries in the real world to completely isolate all threats.

  Strange things that may not happen once in a hundred years on Earth happen almost every day in the Wasteland Era. Some players, after brushing up their regional reputation, went to the guard team to take up a position. Every day, they did nothing but go out on the police, and serialized the strange things and strange prisoners they encountered on the forum, and there were many spectators who watched them.

  Therefore, compared with the random guesses made by players on the forum based on common sense, Chu Guang would still listen more to the opinions of professionals when making specific decisions.

  In short, Naguo did not affect the triumphant celebration of the alliance.

  The fruit that spread filth and the countless troubles that came with prosperity were quietly cleaned up by the guard team and the celebration autonomous committee…

  Because Chu Guang urged her to do it, Heya immediately put down her work and devoted herself to the research on Naguo, and called him back before dusk.

  ”… Let me tell you the conclusion first. First of all, we can rule out that this thing is a product of slime mold. Secondly, according to my observation, not only ordinary crops, but even slime molds cannot reproduce in soil infected by this special hyphae.”

  When she said this, Heya paused and continued.

  ”In addition, it is indeed not a fruit bred by ordinary plants, but a kind of fungus that accompanies plants… Do you know wood ear?”

  ”Of course I know… Wait, in other words, it does not grow from trees? Instead, it needs to rely on other plants and attach to it?”

  ”Yes.”

  ”But soil infected with hyphae cannot grow crops, right?”

  Looking at Chu Guang’s confused expression in the holographic image, Heya nodded approvingly.

  ”Smart… but lacks flexibility.”

  Chu Guang coughed lightly.

  ”I’m busy… don’t beat around the bush.”

  ​​Putting down her arms, Heya said patiently.

  ”This is what makes Naguo special. Normal plants, animals, and even microorganisms find it difficult to survive in its territory, but those assimilated and infected by it are different… they may even become stronger in its territory. For example, the Kamu tree, which produces rubber and biomass oil, will not wither after being parasitized by the hyphae of Naguo, but will become a hotbed for cultivating Naguo. Do you understand what I mean?”

  ”In other words… the way to grow Naguo is not through seeds, but only-”

  ”Just pour the feces of people and animals who have eaten Naguo on the roots of the Kamu tree,” Heya interrupted Chu Guang and said concisely, “Nago has no core, only sweet and greasy pulp like honey, so many animals like to eat it. And the fiber-like hyphae in the pulp are its ‘seeds’. So in essence it is a pure fungus, which is fundamentally different from the mutant slime mold. Do you understand?” The mutant slime mold

  only shows the characteristics of fungi at certain stages of its life, and shows the characteristics of animals at other times.

  It is a predator in the ecosystem and a consumer in the food chain!

  Just like tigers and lions, or monsters and death claws.

  The fungus called “Nago” is different. It is a very special existence. Its birth changes the rules of the food chain.

  The immune system of organisms no longer competes with viruses and microorganisms for living space, but achieves coexistence and prosperity under the action of the adhesive called Nago. The originally opposing existences in the food chain will also achieve unity in the new natural law. The

  emerald green hyphae, symbolizing vitality, penetrates into the soil. The seeds of the old era cannot germinate in the soil baptized by it. Only organisms that embrace “Nago” can prosper in its territory and spread “Nago” to further places.

  Good guy!

  What a fatherly love!

  Chu Guang was shocked.

  How can this be a Nago? It’s clearly Nurgle? !

  Chu Guang asked immediately with his Adam’s apple moving slightly.

  ”Is there any way to purify the land contaminated by it?”

  ”…Strongly acidic disinfectants will do. It is not an anaerobic bacterium and will not penetrate deep into the soil. However, I recommend burning it directly. Have you heard of flame weeding? I see your little players seem to use it instead of herbicides.”

  After hearing what Heya said, Chu Guang was stunned.

  ”…Is it that simple?”

  It can be burned to death with fire…

  But then again, it is also feasible to burn slime mold with fire. At the beginning, he and his little players fought against the wave by dropping incendiary bombs on a large scale and using flames to clean up the fruiting bodies and spores.

  When dealing with fruiting bodies other than evolved bodies, oil barrels are much more useful than high-explosive bombs and armor-piercing bombs.

  Looking at Chu Guang, who obviously made the problem complicated, Heya rolled her eyes.

  ”Don’t think biology is too mysterious. The mutant slime mold is a special case. After all, it is a trouble left over from the prosperous era. This Naguo was born in the wasteland era… Of course, I am still studying other characteristics of Naguo. Some strange things really concern me.”

  ”What are they?”

  ”Repulsion with slime mold. Logically, slime mold can devour all organisms, but it cannot devour the hyphae formed by Naguo. The gnawers we captured even felt obvious disgust for this fruit and refused to eat it. I wonder if there is a possibility… This is actually a new problem created by a shelter or research institute to solve the slime mold problem.”

  When Chu Guang heard this, he suddenly understood why the academy moved to the swamp.

  The most dangerous thing in the wasteland is neither radioactive dust nor slime mold, but those crazy people whose knowledge level far exceeds that of ordinary people.

  Any mother nest is “self-limiting”, but Naguo is almost unlimited in expansion.

  Once the whole world is planted with this stuff, slime molds will most likely be gone, but Naguo will become a new slime mold and completely change the rules of the entire ecosystem.

  In a green hell, mutants will become stronger, and humans will probably become… green-skinned goblins?

  The Alliance has not yet observed what symptoms patients who take Naguo for a long time will have. The “case” in Dust Town only shows the situation after withdrawal.

  The young man who tasted the forbidden fruit was tortured to death by the germs that embraced Naguo and his own “awakened” immune system. At present, the players there have distributed some antibiotics to the patients, but the effect is not obvious, and the follow-up situation is still under observation.

  ”In any case, there is no need to panic too much and scare yourself, but this kind of immature research results is better controlled… The immune system and the virus coexist harmoniously, this is no joke, small problems are treated as no problems, even small problems can be dragged into big problems. And if someone becomes a breeding ground for disease, even if other people don’t eat that thing, they will be infected with the disease, right?”

  ”Well,” looking at Heya with a serious expression, Chu Guang nodded, “While you are researching, I have already activated the emergency plan to remove this thing from the market.”

  Heya smiled slightly, and was about to say something, but suddenly sighed softly, and said in a teasing tone.

  ”Just now I wanted to complain to you, don’t always pull me away from what I’m doing to do something else, I’m not the only researcher in the alliance… but I suddenly feel sorry for you.”

  ”Feel sorry for me?” Chu Guang said with a smile, “I didn’t hear you wrong.”

  ”You should have been meeting with representatives from other survivor settlements at that time, right?” Heya looked at him sympathetically and muttered with mixed feelings, “If only those idiots could grow a little more brain cells, at least understand that not everyone is as idle as them…”

  As she spoke, a rare flash of resentment flashed in Heya’s pupils.

  Chu Guang knew that the idiots she was talking about were not residents of the alliance, but were complaining about her hometown – Shelter No. 117.

  They originally lived a routine life in the shelter, but because some people did not trust the managers and the shelter plan, and even hated them, the entire shelter was eventually destroyed.

  The original “Torch” was born in Shelter 117, and became a belief in the following twenty years.

  Chu Guang didn’t know how to comfort this girl who “traveled” from twenty years ago, but he still hoped that she could be freed from that dark memory.

  ”I am not Seven, and the residents of Shelter 404 are not the residents of Shelter 117. The missions of each shelter are different. I dare not jump to the conclusion that your manager knows nothing. Maybe he has his own ideas and hidden secrets that we don’t know. But put yourself in the shoes of your residents. They can obviously return to the ground like saviors, but because of the orders of the managers, they have to give birth to children in narrow caves. Their panic and despair about the future are understandable.”

  ”You actually understand them!”

  Looking at Heya, who was staring at her eyes in disbelief, Chu Guang said patiently.

  ”Understanding does not mean agreement. The biggest revelation your manager’s log gives us is, ‘Never give up communication because of communication difficulties’, not ‘The ignorant majority is not worth understanding’.”

  Heya snorted softly.

  ”Well, at least we have a consensus. We all think those guys are stupid enough… I’m off work, and I should go enjoy the celebration. I really sympathize with you for nothing!”

  Chu Guang smiled faintly.

  ”Go ahead. I recommend applying some berry jam on the liver. The sour taste can neutralize the bitterness. This is our latest unlocked formula.”

  ”Oops! I’ll put cumin!”

  Heya hung up the phone.

  Looking at the light particles scattered on the holographic screen, Chu Guang couldn’t help but smile.

  He could feel that her mood was slightly better and she had reconciled with her past memories.

  Although she and Yin Fang had completely different personalities, they actually grew up in a similar environment and were essentially rational materialists.

  Then she must understand what she wanted to express.

  …

  Just like the last celebration.

  After nightfall, gorgeous fireworks were set off in the sky above Dawn City. The endless

  stream of pedestrians on the street stopped and looked up to admire the beautiful fireworks. Even the people in the distant Boulder City could see a glimpse of bright light from the cracks in the concrete ruins.

  ”…Mr. House guessed right again. They are really venting their ammunition in impotent fury.” Standing at the edge of the industrial zone, Kent, who had just finished a day’s work, muttered.

  A few months ago, he led the workers of the cannery to surround the city hall in order to throw the goods of the Alliance out of Boulder City, because the Alliance’s factory took away their job opportunities.

  That was definitely the highlight of his life.

  Du Long, who was usually high and mighty, was sweating profusely. Not only did he get the job as he wished, but he also got a bargaining chip from the security captain Alec. It is said that because of his earth-shaking righteous act, the Alliance has fallen into a hot inflation, and the daily wages of 1 silver coin have soared to double digits. I really dare not imagine how they usually live.

  But he occasionally envies those people in the northern suburbs. The lackeys of the city hall dare to kick their asses, but they dare not bully the poor ghosts of the Alliance, and even dare not touch the vassals of those poor ghosts. After all

  , those people are so poor that they only have guns left, while they are wearing shoes, so they can’t be easily angered.

  Sberg, who was walking beside him, glanced at his patched jeans and muttered.

  ”Hey, do you really believe what Mr. House said?”

  ”You don’t believe it?”

  Seeing Kent raised his eyebrows and looked like he was going to hit him, Sberg didn’t expect him to be so excited, and quickly changed his words.

  ”I believe it, of course I believe it… We are undoubtedly the victorious country, but why don’t we celebrate the victory?”

  Kent’s eyes widened, and his neck turned red with anger.

  ”Are you crazy? This is a wasteland, how can there be so many things for you to celebrate.”

  Convinced that he was not going to hit him, Sberg continued cautiously.

  ”But I heard that yesterday or the day before yesterday, someone saw President Malvern leaving the city with great fanfare, and he brought his baby daughter with him. I also heard that many nobles in the inner city went to the alliance to wait for the celebration to begin several days ago, and several powerful mercenary groups were almost booked until next month…”

  Kent said impatiently.

  ”They went there to eat and drink.”

  Sberg looked at him blankly.

  ”Eat…eat and drink?”

  ”Yes! That’s right!”

  Kent didn’t know what he was fighting with. Maybe he was dissatisfied with the confused expression of his co-worker, or maybe he just had hyperthyroidism. He stared at him closely.

  ”What’s wrong? We are their creditors. What’s wrong with us eating their food? I hope they eat more tonight! It’s better to come back strong!”

  Sperger raised his hand quickly.

  ”No…nothing, I think you are right. I hope they have a good appetite tonight and eat back our money.” It would

  be great if they could spit out a mouthful of soup.

  Perhaps he was very satisfied with his frightened expression. Kent calmed down a little, and his tone became much more patient. He began to reason.

  ”Lister is the largest factory owner in the alliance, and he is our man. This is the best proof! The residents of the alliance will come to us to apply for black cards when they make money, but the nobles in the inner city will never be residents of their shelter. Doesn’t this explain a lot of problems?”

  Looking at the chattering Kent, Sperger suddenly felt distressed, but he didn’t dare to show it on his face, because if he did, he would have to explain why he felt distressed, and this was something he could never say.

  He was a timid man. He

  was only a little braver when reading aloud from the newspaper.

  He didn’t know why Kent was speaking for those old men with capital, but at least he didn’t want to be punched at the moment.

  Looking at Kent who was expecting his feedback, Sberg nodded cautiously.

  ”Of course.”

  ”I have no doubt that Mr. House is right.”

  …

  ”Haha, congratulations! Our friends! The best friend of Boulder City!”

  The banquet hall of the alliance.

  Sid, who was well-dressed, raised his glass excitedly, looking at Chu Guang who appeared in the banquet hall, and was about to go up and clink glasses, but before he got close, he found that the person had gone somewhere else.

  ”… Tsk, what are you showing off!”

  A trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes, and Sid wanted to put the glass back on the long table without interest to cover up his embarrassment at the moment.

  But at this moment, a wine glass suddenly reached out and touched him lightly.

  ”Why are you drinking alone?”

  Seeing Lister appearing in front of him, Sid’s eyes lit up, laughed and drank the wine in the glass, and said by pulling his shoulder.

  ”You should give me some face, my friend!”

  Lister was a new rich man in the inner city, of course he knew him, and after all, he helped to get the black card.

  It was in this banquet hall at the beginning.

  This guy asked him to discuss a deal. To be honest, Sid was not very interested at first, after all, it was not decent to go out and make money in Boulder City.

  But recently he slowly experienced the joy of soaring wealth.

  He didn’t need to understand how to balance the logistics surplus, how to adjust the job functions, or even what to produce to make money.

  As long as he moved his fingers and threw the chips like throwing darts, people would naturally do the details for him, and they would do it to his satisfaction.

  ”Of course,” Liszt smiled, took a sip and put down the glass, saying politely, “After all, we are in the same group.”

  ”Hey! You are the best! To be honest, the country bumpkins in the northern suburbs are not suitable trading partners. They are vulgar and have no manners. They invited us here, but threw me to Luca to entertain. I heard that the old man was a serf. They must be crazy to let a mud-legged man be the city lord! But Melvin is right, we don’t need to get hard with the chips. You should understand that feeling when doing business with plunderers.” In order not to offend others, Sid lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear it.

  Liszt nodded with a friendly smile on his face.

  ”Indeed, shit doesn’t taste good… The chips they hand over are always greasy, which reminds me of the bones and meat scraps floating in the boiling oil pan.”

  ”What a vivid picture! I really want to hear you talk about your legendary stories. It’s not an ordinary person to be able to do business with the plunderers!” Sid gave him a thumbs up and said excitedly, “But I haven’t eaten yet. Can we talk while eating… talk about something with a lighter taste?”

  Liszt said with a smile.

  ”Of course, I know a good deal. I wonder if you are interested.”

  When Sid heard that there was an opportunity to make money, a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face.

  Liszt was of course trustworthy, not only because he owed him a lot of favors, but also because he had become his own.

  ”I’m so interested! My friend, I know you won’t let me down! You can always bring us new fun!”

  Liszt said with a smile.

  ”The Alliance recently issued a bond.”

  ”What is that?”

  ”An alternative debt,” Lister tried to process what Chu Guang described, making the twists and turns sound less complicated. “You bought a bond with 100 chips, and the Alliance will automatically give you 3 chips every year, and pay off the principal of 100 chips in one go after five years.”

  Sid was stunned, sipped his lips, and said dissatisfiedly.

  ”Why is it so little?”

  Although he is rich, it doesn’t mean he is stupid.

  The aid loans from Boulder City to the Alliance have an interest rate of 5%!

  This one not only has a low interest rate, but it doesn’t sound like compound interest. Only a ghost would buy it!

  Sid’s reaction was expected. Lister’s smile did not change, and he picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip.

  ”So… what if I have a special channel and can use the issue price of 90 chips to get a bond with a face value of 100?”

  The moment he heard this, Sid was stunned at first, and then his breathing suddenly became rapid.

  ”Doesn’t that mean…”

  ”You’ll earn 10% as soon as you get it,” Lister said meaningfully, “Not only that, you can also earn 3% interest every year. If you are interested in 10-year bonds, the interest will be one point higher, and the issue price is 85.”

  ”The alliance recognizes debts but not people, and allows bond trading. Now everyone’s pockets are full of chips, but the alliance cannot use chips to sign orders. They need to be exchanged for silver coins first, and the exchange of silver coins is not free… So you understand, right? Buying bonds can indirectly share their development dividends.”

  He would not tell Sid that as a first-level dealer, the issue price he got was actually cheaper.

  As for how to pay back the money in the future?

  That’s too easy!

  When the chips gather in the pockets of the alliance, how much the chips are worth is up to the alliance itself?

  If Chu Guang’s plan is finally realized, then in the most extreme case, the excessively circulated chips may become a pile of useless plastic sheets.

  Money is worthless, so are you still afraid of not being able to pay it back?

  As for whether it can get to that step, it depends on the level of the manager. Lister was also surprised. He didn’t expect that the man who looked so upright could have so many tricks, and he was so cruel when he attacked.

  Sid hugged Lister’s shoulders, his eyes full of enthusiasm. He treated him as his own brother, as if he was afraid that he would eat alone.

  ”Good brother! You have to take me with you! I have made so many chips, but I don’t know where to invest!”

  ”That’s a must,” Lister smiled and patted his shoulder, saying softly, “My friend, have you forgotten?”

  ”We are in the same group.”

  …

  Chu Guang was going to miss the fireworks show tonight, and he didn’t even have time to stand on the bridge of the Iron Heart to appreciate it.

  After all, there were too many guests to receive.

  Whether it was the representatives of the company or the representatives of the surrounding survivor settlements, they all wanted to talk to him on behalf of their settlements. While coming to learn from him, they also wanted to see if they could catch the speeding train of the alliance and get some benefits.

  As the focus of the whole venue, Chu Guang also experienced for the first time in his life what it felt like to be so busy that he couldn’t keep up.

  The people waiting in line to see him could line up from the door of the auditorium to the back kitchen.

  And he needed to condense the huge amount of information into three sentences, and remember as much as possible every representative and settlement he had talked to.

  Fortunately, Xiao Qi helped.

  But somehow, just when he was about to meet the large number of nobles in Boulder City, Xiao Qi suddenly became willful and said that the fireworks it had designed with great difficulty were about to end, and asked him to go outside to see it no matter what.

  Otherwise, it would not do it next time!

  There was no way.

  Chu Guang originally wanted to pretend to be nice to the nobles of Boulder City, but he couldn’t stand Xiao Qi’s soft and hard bombardment in his ears, so he could only let Old Luca down and go to be polite to the nobles in the inner city.

  As for the bond matter.

  Chu Guang believed that even without his cooperation, Liszt would do things for him beautifully.

  That guy is a smart man.

  He knows what to do…

  …

  outside the auditorium.

  Chu Guang found a secluded place with no one around, and looked up at the fireworks blooming in the night sky.

  It turns out that fireworks set off by the cannon of the Heart of Steel are so beautiful.

  No wonder so many people looked up at the sky that night without moving.

  My neck was tired of watching.

  Finally, when the last cluster of fireworks was over, Chu Guang couldn’t help but praise it.

  ”It’s pretty beautiful.”

  Sitting on his shoulders and swinging his calves, Xiao Qi smiled happily and put his hands on his hips proudly.

  ”Hehe, huh?”

  Chu Guang looked at the little guy helplessly.

  ”But there’s still a while before the fireworks end, right? Why can’t I wait until I meet the representatives of Boulder City before coming out to watch.”

  Xiao Qi pouted.

  ”Xiao Qi doesn’t like them… The master is wasting time on them, so why not come out to watch Xiao Qi’s performance!”

  By the way, does artificial intelligence also have standards of good and evil?

  Chu Guang couldn’t help but feel a little magical.

  ”How did they offend you?”

  Xiao Qi said righteously.

  ”No! The master doesn’t like it, so Xiao Qi doesn’t like it either!”

  Chu Guang was slightly stunned, then smiled and shook his head.

  ”You guy…”

  There are so many things he doesn’t like.

  Strictly speaking, there are no absolutely good or bad people in the wasteland. Pure evil and absolute kindness are not common here. The most common is reckless chaos and barbarism.

  If you can’t tolerate a grain of sand in your eyes and don’t care about the means of doing things, the final result will be an extremely twisted thing like the Enlightenment.

  Those guys firmly believe that both the post-war reconstruction committee and the survivor settlements in the wasteland are degenerate things compared to the great era of prosperity, so they must be physically and resolutely eliminated!

  In their eyes, it is the alliance that goes along with the wastelanders who is more ignorant.

  It is precisely because of this that it is even more difficult to transform the disciples of the Enlightenment who have firm beliefs than to transform the plunderers.

  As for Xiaoqi…

  maybe because he cares too much about his own feelings and accepts a lot of information of varying quality, he has been affected a little.

  Chu Guang could guess a little from its expression. It must be that the nobles in the inner city secretly arranged it to be “accidentally” heard by it, but they were restrained by themselves and could not do anything to them, so they could only express their dissatisfaction in this way.

  He had already scolded it once for its cleverness in the Falcon City Palace, and believed that it would not use its authority at will again.

  ”…There are actually many people in this wasteland that we don’t like and don’t agree with. You should know this after following me for so long.”

  ”In fact, the more familiar you are with them and the more you understand their inner thoughts, the more you feel that they are hopelessly corrupted. It is both laborious and thankless to help them.”

  Chu Guang stretched out his index finger and gently rubbed Xiao Qi’s little head. Looking at the confused eyes, he continued in a gentle voice.

  ”But we allow them to live, give them enough time to change, give them opportunities, and even pull them forward when necessary.”

  ”This is the alliance.”

  A place where survivors unite and unite –

  a place where they huddle together for warmth in the ruins.
