Chapter 733: The Alliance’s Main Business
”Survivor Daily”
[Last night, the 1,000-man team of the 310,000-man team of the Legion and the “Purge” team launched an offensive against the second peak of the Ten Peaks Mountain, Black Cloud Peak, and successfully controlled the entire peak at 22:10…
】
Facts have proved that
the direct troops of the Eastern Legion are still quite capable.
After paying 112 casualties, the elite group of Willant people equipped with automatic firepower finally planted the flag of the Legion on the top of the mountain before the clock struck midnight. The
remaining green-skinned big guys and goblins either hid in the tunnels and bunkers dug by humans, or retreated to the third peak of the Ten Peaks Mountain – Broken Blade Mountain.
Compared with Black Cloud Peak, the natural barrier called Broken Blade Mountain is shorter, but the magic of nature is no less.
The whole mountain is like a steep and upright long sword, cut off in the middle, leaving only half. There are cliffs on both sides of the mountain, and even a few trees can’t stand, let alone people.
A slanting road spirals up to the top of the mountain, from south to north, and this road is also the most dangerous section of the 80-mile bone road. Not to mention that heavy vehicles are difficult to pass, even the Death Claws that can climb on rocks have some difficulty going up.
But even so, compared with several other natural dangers nearby that are rarely visited by people, it is easier to build bridges and roads here.
According to the combat deployment of the coalition headquarters, the infantry of the 100th Mountain Division of the Enterprise is responsible for attacking this mountain, and the Alliance and the Legion are supporting in the rear.
The offensive will be launched in three days!
Regardless of the combat arrangements in three days, the marginal paddling is more concerned about the performance of the Legion in this battle.
According to their previous analysis on the forum, the real trump card of the Legion has never been the combat capability of a single soldier, or even a certain unit. The real magic weapon for those guys to win is the huge logistics system and the ability to fight continuously.
Their entire social system is prepared for war. The purpose of all systems is either to complete the production of war weapons, or to train officers and soldiers, or to reward military nobles who have made meritorious contributions on the battlefield.
Therefore, it is not very meaningful to discuss the combat effectiveness of a certain unit. Enterprises need to rely on numbers to bluff, and these guys really have a hundred divisions.
And they are standing troops that can be taken out at any time without mobilization!
If it were not for the great desert, the eastern provinces were too far away from Triumph City, and most of the logistics could only be undertaken by vassal states, the performance of the expeditionary force would not be so difficult to describe, let alone not being supported in the rear area where the pro-war factions are everywhere.
However, what surprised the edge was that, apart from the poor performance of the Glorious Army, the performance of the 310,000th team in the battle last night was unexpectedly good? What
surprised him even more was the special force called the “Purge Team”.
There are a total of one hundred soldiers, each of them is nearly three meters tall, with a burly figure like an iron tower, and their whole body is covered with black bulletproof linings and exoskeletons.
Their positioning is probably similar to the special operations company under the division-level unit, but in fact their performance on the battlefield is more like a “human-shaped infantry fighting vehicle” that cooperates with the infantry to advance.
These tall and strong guys use shotguns and heavy machine guns as their main weapons, especially when using the latter, they can fire and advance forward without setting up.
In addition, they are also equipped with a large number of heavy grenades of various types such as incendiary and shrapnel, and a melee weapon such as a tomahawk or a hammer is hung on their waist as a close-range “firepower supplement”.
The combat style of these guys is extremely fierce, and they are comparable to the brothers of the jungle corps. They often appear in the most dangerous places on the front line, using the simplest and crudest methods to kill opponents. Even the most vicious mutants cannot withstand their raids.
If the face that was accidentally revealed was indeed human, Bianbianhuashui could not help but wonder if it was a mutant wearing an exoskeleton…
”You mean those people? Of course they are Weylanders… They just failed to take the medicine.”
The cafeteria of the military base.
While eating, Bianbianhuashui and Su Ming talked about this matter. The latter talked in a casual tone while dealing with the fried rice in the bowl.
Bianbianhuashui asked in confusion.
”What do you mean?”
Su Ming said.
”Using the awakening potion to force the expression of non-coding genes is not 100% able to awaken. There is a certain probability of side effects of varying degrees depending on the technical route… Death in severe cases, disability or various genetic diseases in mild cases, you should have heard of it, right?” Bianbianhuashui
nodded.
”Yeah.”
The object of the Fang Chang brothers seems to be a victim of the awakening potion.
It seems to be a product of Giant Stone Military Industry. I remember it was called “Dragon Blood”.
Because it is free, many people in Giant Stone City who want to be mercenaries but have no power have used it. Giant Stone Military Industry even launched a loan specifically for those who are disabled by the Dragon Blood potion.
After the inner city collapsed, the new authorities listed “Dragon Blood” as a banned drug.
Shelter No. 404 also has similar products, but they are much safer than Dragon Blood.
Although the probability of awakening is also a mystery, and it needs to be vaccinated several times, the biggest accident at present is that it cannot be awakened, and there will be no limb disability or the like.
Of course, if “difficult to give birth to offspring” is also considered a disability, it is another matter. Most awakened people have this problem.
Edgewater estimated that this may also be a self-protection mechanism of some biological populations-that is, to prevent the ability to randomly express non-coding genes from being passed on.
Of course, this is just his guess based on the game settings.
In reality, there are no awakened people at all, and there are not so many mutant creatures.
”…The Weilant people in the purge team are in a similar situation. You should know, right? Those guys were “natural warriors” synthesized by the Weilant Laboratory under the Technology Department through genetic technology during the War Construction Committee period.”
Looking at the Alpha Task Force soldiers who were eating not far away, Su Ming fiddled with the spoon in his hand and continued in a very light and slow voice.
”If the non-coding genes of ordinary people are a long string of naturally formed shit, then their non-coding genes are artificially designed… There is a saying that the designers of the Technical Department wrote the unfinished part of the code in the ‘gestalt life form’ into it, and then commented it out in some way to make up 23 pairs of chromosomes.” ”
The original intention of the War Construction Committee was to use these tools to deal with slime molds, and by the way, they could also collect some experimental data to complete the singularity technology that was not completed in the Prosperous Era. After the Wasteland Era is over, these unstable guys will be eliminated through sterilization or other more civilized methods to prevent genetic pollution…”
”This is the information I found on the Endpoint Cloud before, maybe it can answer some of your confusion. As for whether it is true or not, you have to identify it yourself…Everyone can chat with each other on the Endpoint Cloud, and sometimes they are just bragging.”
I relied on the VM’s translator to understand this sentence with a lot of professional terms. After trying to understand it, my eyes widened.
Oh my goodness!
In other words…
Mutants live in the DNA of the Weilantes? !
No, this statement may not be accurate enough. It would be more appropriate to change it to “parts of mutants live in it.”
Mutants are unfinished products of “gestalt life forms”, and so are Weilantes.
It’s just that the former released all the unstable genes and completely formed a new species, while the latter mixed some gene fragments homologous to mutant DNA into human genes!
It is precisely because of this that when the Weilantes awaken, some will become stronger humans, and some will become humans with mutant characteristics.
After all, the essence of awakening is the specific expression of non-coding genes in individuals, and no one can say which part is expressed.
”But why is the latter considered a loser?” Bianbianhuashui continued to ask in confusion, and
Su Ming made a helpless expression.
”Then you have to ask the experts of the Weilant people… I said, I also heard it from the endpoint cloud.”
Bianbianhuashui: “…”
Just as the two were eating, the Alpha Mobile Task Force at the next table had cleared the plates, and the four of them walked to the meal pick-up point in unison.
”Potato roast meat rice, three more servings, with more rice.” The leading team leader took out the meal card and said concisely. The waiter who was in charge of the food
was stunned when he heard this, and counted the people standing in front of the meal pick-up point again. No matter how he counted, there were four.
But he didn’t ask any more questions.
These guys with gas masks hanging on their helmets and goggles covering their eyes don’t look like normal people.
”Three servings for you…” After placing the prepared plates on the table, he couldn’t help but remind them, “If you three want to eat together, you can actually order a few stir-fried dishes and rice separately.”
”No need, thank you.”
The team leader nodded, holding three plates in both hands, and turned back to the previous table.
Just when the waiter thought that he was done, the team member behind the team leader stepped forward and took out the meal card in the same way.
”Potatoes and pork, three more servings, with more rice.”
The waiter: “…”
As he expected, the two behind him did the same, ordering three servings of the same dish, and even the actions of passing the plates and thanking them were like they were carved from the same mold.
These guys seemed to have made an appointment.
Everyone ordered the same dish, and they ordered a large bucket of potatoes and pork, and didn’t even consume half of the other dozen dishes.
In this case, the waiter could only contact the kitchen and ask them to work overtime to fry another bucket and send it over.
What he didn’t know was that in the communication channel that he couldn’t hear or see, a series of invisible radio waves were communicating at the speed of light.
”The potatoes and pork are good, I recommend it.” “It’s
really good.”
”Not bad.”
”Really good.”
”Satisfied.”
”…”
Just when the soldiers of the Alpha Task Force finished their meals and returned their plates, a group of corporate soldiers who had just finished training swarmed into the cafeteria.
These recruits had received three months of training in the boot camp before, and the training did not stop after arriving here. The hungry eyes of one or two were green.
One of the young men squeezed in front of the food pick-up point, glanced at the menu on the wall, and quickly slapped the meal card on the clock punch machine.
”Boss, give me a portion of potatoes and pork! Another portion of braised eggplant, and two portions of rice!”
Hearing this dish, he was overwhelmed. The waiter waved his hand impatiently: “The potatoes and pork are gone. They were eaten by those guys in masks. If you want to eat, wait another half an hour.”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
”Damn!?”
”Finished?!”
They didn’t want to eat much, but when they heard that it was all gone, a group of people immediately swallowed their saliva and lined up curiously.
The line was getting longer and longer.
Later, not only the enterprises, but also soldiers from other settlements such as the Free State and Garbage City came to join in the fun. In
just one day, the entire Weifu military base sold nearly 100,000 portions of potatoes and braised pork!
Especially the king of eating from the academy, starting with three portions per person, the mobile team of a thousand people ate like a team of ten thousand people! Although the
canteen of the coalition is not for profit, the profit of a meal is not much, only 1 to 2Cr, but it is also a considerable amount when added up.
On that day, there was no fighting on the northern front.
A small number of legion soldiers were clearing out the remaining mutants and goblins in the tunnels of Black Cloud Peak, and behind those Willant people, the alliance’s potato and braised pork rice bowl quietly swept the entire military base…
Not only were the players dumbfounded, but even Chu Guang, who was far away in Dawn City, was caught off guard.
With just one dish, these soldiers from all over the world showed off all the potatoes in the military base…
When Chu Guang, who was far away in Dawn City, received the report from the front line, he was stunned for a few seconds.
”Wow… This military base can still make a profit?!”
To be honest, Chu Guang really didn’t think about making money from sticky donors.
Today’s alliance is no longer the poor little village it was in the past.
As the manager of the alliance, his responsibility is not just to do everything possible to feed those who support him, but to lead those guys who have already eaten and drunk enough to rebuild a greater era and unite more people who are not yet full.
It is precisely because of this that, including train transportation capacity, many places that could have been profitable, he almost gave them to the friendly forces of sticky donors at cost price.
And if the logistics materials are produced by OEM in the industrial zones of Dawn City and Boulder City, they can even be discounted by 50% on the basis of the cost price! It is equivalent to the alliance giving financial subsidies to encourage all forces of sticky donors to produce logistics materials in the industrial zones of the alliance!
Although doing so will increase the fiscal deficit in the short term, in the long run, the benefits of doing so far outweigh the deficit.
”Foreign trade orders” bring not only funds, technology and talents, but also closer cooperative relations.
Even if the war is over, these orders will not all disappear. Some will always be retained by inertia because of the close cooperation between the two sides during the war.
Including the funds, technology and talents that come with those orders.
This can also be regarded as a kind of conspiracy.
All parties have long-term interests in solving the slime mold problem and short-term demands to solve the “natural disaster” of the Torch Church.
Even the most stingy colleges are willing to take the risk of certain technology outflows and transfer some less important industries that are in great demand on the front line to the Giant Stone City closer to the front line for production, or even to Giant Stone Military Industry for OEM.
For example, the capacitors used in Gauss rifles and the polymer bulletproof linings of exoskeletons.
The related technologies are enough to drive the upgrade of more than a dozen industrial chains in the alliance.
In comparison, the financial subsidies paid by the alliance for this are insignificant.
It is no exaggeration to say that Chu Guang has been prepared to pay money for a long time to launch this war.
What he didn’t expect was that they actually made a profit from the cafeteria less than three weeks after the war officially started?
Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the pen holder, looked at him with bright eyes and raised his thumb with admiration.
”You are worthy of being the master! Others lose money in wars, but the master not only did not lose money but also made a fortune!”
Chu Guang coughed dryly.
”…Even if you praise me, it will not do any good.”
”How could it be?”
Holding her lower cheeks with both hands, Xiao Qi acted shy, and stared at him through her fingers with a pair of bright big eyes.
”The master is happy, which is the happiest thing for Xiao Qi… Hehe.”
Huh? !
Chu Guang looked at the little guy in surprise.
Why does it feel like this guy is getting smarter and smarter?
But who did he learn this dirty talk from?
Is this how it is used?
”I always feel that the master is thinking about something rude…”
Staring at Chu Guang with a suspicious face, Xiao Qi crossed his arms in front of his chest, and the slightly raised tip of his lips seemed to be dissatisfied with his surprised expression.
With a light cough, Chu Guang brought the interrupted topic back on track.
”No, I was just thinking… I was negligent before and almost forgot our old business.”
The alliance developed so fast that he forgot the salaries in the soldiers’ pockets.
Including the mission rewards he gave to the players.
These guys couldn’t spend the money they made in Dawn City anyway, and most of them would be exchanged at the official website’s silver exchange.
It’s better to let them spend it on the front line.
What the alliance lacks now is not productivity, but a place that can release productivity and generate positive returns. Maybe we can rely on the consumption power of these guys to spend a settlement.
This is not impossible.
According to the report from the front line, some vendors in Ma Fu Town even drove ox carts to the terminal of the railway – the Weifu Military Base Station where non-military personnel are not allowed to take the train, and set up stalls there to sell some milk, mare’s milk and other dairy products produced in abundance locally.
When the survivors from other parts of Jinchuan Province also gathered here, over time, a new settlement might be formed there.
”Old business?” Xiao Qi tilted his head, not knowing which one Chu Guang was referring to, after all, he had too many tricks.
”Heavy industry barbecue, light industry beer… Of course, the conditions are better now than before, and there are other things besides food.”
Chu Guang smiled faintly, waved his index finger lightly in the air, and flicked the holographic screen to open the window for dispatching tasks and server activities.
His imagination is limited, but he believes that his little players’ imaginations are unlimited.
”…Send some life professional players to the front line.”
…
Just when the coalition forces on the northern front were busy eating, the mutants on the Ten Peaks Mountain were also eating heartily.
But they were not eating rice, but livestock or livestock-like people.
The Torch Church provided them with rich food and tools for reproduction.
Since the fire in Haiya Province started, they have been holding banquets every day, and the good days have never stopped.
Although they have lost two hills, these green guys are not in a hurry at all.
This fierce battle has just begun, and the coalition forces of human things have just entered their home court.
In addition to the things that can dig holes, they also have things that can fly. When those human things really reach the halfway point of the mountain, their nightmare will begin.
They will tear those guys apart bit by bit, and use their blood and internal organs to sacrifice their dead kind, to please their “king of beasts”!
Broken Blade Mountain.
The green-skinned mutants and goblins on the entire mountain are busy preparing for war.
Except for one guy.
In a spacious cave, a green-skinned big guy about ten meters long sat in the middle of a pile of human skeletons like a rockery, snoring.
The green skin was like moss that had not seen the sun for a long time, and it was bumpy like a toad. Its arms were like the shovel of an excavator, and the snoring from its mouth was like thunder. The saliva hanging from the corners of its mouth dripped on the bones below from time to time, making a corrosive hissing sound.
Its name is Orlon, the leader of the Rock Axe Clan. It is the biggest guy with the best appetite and the strongest strength in the entire tribe. It is also a rare natural mutant among mutants.
As an exception to the Gestalt Lifeform Project, it has some characteristics of super mutants. Even if its head is blown to pieces, it will not die. Instead, it will go crazy because of losing its mind. Its recovery ability can even exceed some fruiting bodies of slime molds, and it can even withstand more than “Meat Mountain”.
Although he looks like a disabled person with severe obesity when he is sleeping, he is not slow at all when he is awake. He can even slap a tank away with one slap.
At this moment, there was a movement at the door. The ears drooping on the big head were lifted up like pig ears. Orlon, who was sleeping soundly, raised half of his eyelids, snored heavily, and hummed dully.
”What’s the matter?”
This is one of its special functions. Only half of the head is awake, and the other half is still asleep.
Standing at the door of the cave, the middle-aged man in a white robe said in a calm voice.
”I have good news for you.”
Orlon snorted expressionlessly.
”Tell me.”
The man said slowly.
”You will have a good meal soon.”
Orlon laughed dully, like a roaring dragon.
”Then I’m really looking forward to it.”
After saying that, it closed half of its eye again, and seemed to fall into a deep sleep.
The man nodded, turned around and disappeared into the cave entrance, as if he had never been there.
Orlon, who was sleeping soundly, opened his eyes, and a trace of impatience flashed in his amber pupils.
Although many people in the tribe called that human thing “Beast King”, he didn’t like this guy who pretended to be a ghost.
It is obviously the Beast King!
It’s a pity that the guy is transparent.
Whether you throw stones or spit at him, they will pass through him.
If that guy had a physical body, it would have eaten him in one bite!
…
Just as the human soldiers and mutants on the northern front were busy eating, Iser, who got on the wrong ship and ran to the Baiyue Strait, and his 10,000 subordinates finally had their first bite of hot food.
Grabbing a golden stick-shaped “bread”, Iser, who was eating with a greasy mouth, couldn’t help asking.
”What is this?”
”Dough sticks.”
After taking a look at this inexperienced guy, Fang Chang, who was standing on the dock, said concisely, “Remember, this is your first meal after landing. From now on, this place will be called Youtiao Port.”
Yesterday at noon, the Jungle Corps sent a team of people to go deep into the jungle on the south bank to clear out the local alien species, and cooperated with the W-2H seaplane of the Goblin Corps to remove at least five nests.
At about noon today, this group of expeditionary soldiers landed on the south bank of the Baiyue Strait, camped on the beach, and cooperated with the construction team of French Fries Port to build a simple wooden pier on the south bank, and pulled up an underwater isolation net along the coastline.
By the evening, the supply ship of French Fries Port finally delivered the fried dough sticks before these soldiers were hungry.
Unexpectedly, the Alliance actually sent bread to them. The rat soldiers were so excited that they wolfed down the rations one by one.
In the province of Borneo, bread is at least something that citizens with decent jobs can afford. Most people eat dirt and beans.
Although this bread is a bit oily, no one dislikes it. Instead, they shed tears of gratitude for the generosity of the Alliance.
In fact, let alone the soldiers, the officers who were born as citizens have never seen such oily bread.
Although some delicacies from Dawn City have appeared in the Golden Gallon Port, due to the closure of the border and the distance, the Alliance’s food culture has not yet entered the hinterland of Borneo Province, and has only spread to a small area in its surrounding areas.
Even if these officers have seen some of the world, they can’t stand eating dry food for two weeks at sea. Everyone’s mouth is almost dry.
Not to mention the grassroots officers, even Captain Isselwan’s eating style is not very elegant. He chews and swallows hard, while mumbling with his mouth full of oil residue.
”Thank you… We will remember your help to us. After the war is over, I will say a few good words for you to His Majesty.”
Fang Chang laughed and did not take his stubbornness seriously. He continued in a businesslike tone.
”You are welcome. You did a good job today. This is the reward you deserve. Starting tomorrow, we will assign you new tasks, including the construction of barracks and road construction, etc. If your performance meets our expectations, we will pay you.”
Hearing Fang Chang’s words, Iser was stunned at first, and then he came back to his senses and suddenly said angrily.
”Wait! We are here to fight, not to help you build a port!”
He understood the dock.
After all, people can swim to the shore holding driftwood, but the supplies will be useless if they are soaked in the sea. Tens of thousands of people are waiting for food, and they can’t all rely on the small boats to deliver them to the shore one by one.
He can even understand the construction of barracks, after all, his people also need a place to live.
But what about the road construction?
Why do they seem to be here to open up wasteland!
But although this guy’s mouth was very hard, he didn’t stop chewing at all.
Fang Chang laughed.
”Then you pay the bill.”
Iseil was stunned.
”Bill?”
Fang Chang rolled his eyes.
”That’s right, you don’t think the food is free.”
Iseil heard this, and the fried dough stick in his mouth almost fell to the beach. He pulled it off and said anxiously.
”Wait, didn’t you… say that you would bear our supply? What about your promise on the sticky donor?”
Fang Chang explained patiently.
”We did promise to bear your supply, but it’s not free. In addition, I have inquired that your emperor did recharge your meal card for you, but the money was charged to the cafeteria of the Weifu Military Base. This place is at least 1,000 kilometers away from the Weifu Military Base. We can’t ask them to come here to build a stove specifically for you.”
Iseil was anxious.
”What’s the difference? Aren’t they all your settlements?”
Fang Chang resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said patiently.
”What do you mean by what is the difference? French Fries Port is French Fries Port, and the Guard House is the Guard House. Can you understand that one thing is different from another?” It
was too much trouble to explain the rules to this guy.
Looking at General Iser who was still confused, Fang Chang took a deep breath and decided to change the communication method.
”Listen, we are not benevolent administrators, let alone charity. You have to pay for your meals. If you don’t have money, we can lend it to you, and we can even generously waive interest, but you must repay the debt in our way, otherwise let your Majesty send the money, or you can find a way yourself, don’t expect us to support you for nothing.”
Iser was so angry that his face turned pale and he wanted to pull out a gun and point it at this guy’s head.
But thinking that his Majesty’s most elite Gray Wolf Army was beaten up by this guy, and the people behind him were all rat people, he could only swallow his anger.
Looking at General Iser who was silent, Fang Chang suddenly thought of something and said with a laugh.
”Be happy. It’s not a bad thing. If you knew the situation on the northern front, you would thank me.”
Iser asked subconsciously.
”What happened on the northern front? Has the fight started?”
Fang Chang did not answer his question, but asked with a smile.
”Do you know a guy named Modrick?”
Iser said immediately.
”He is the captain of General Babita’s army! I know him. What happened to him?”
”What happened to him?” Fang Chang smiled faintly and continued, “He and his men were reincarnated last night.”
The Legion fired two 400mm heavy artillery shells. Judging from the explosion effect, they should be thermobaric bombs or something similar. In short, the power is amazing.
Although the effect on the mutants under the mountain can only be said to be average, all the people on the mountain, whether dead or alive, were blown away by this shell.
Babita claimed that the guy named Modrick died in the battle with the mutants.
However, the players of the Death Corps clearly saw that there were actually some people fighting on the mountain when the shell fell.
Those people did not look like ordinary soldiers, but more like officers.
After all, they also saw how low the morale of the rat soldiers was.
The name of the unlucky guy appeared between the lines of the discussion post on the official website forum, but there were only a few sentences.
Fang Chang did not sympathize with the guy. After all, he did not know him and did not care, but he felt that the man in front of him was ungrateful.
The survivors of Jingalon Port did not need to thank him. After all, Baiyue Company’s behavior in the local area was more of a business, using advanced methods and technology to exchange for the labor of local people. Before they went there, those people could survive by eating dirt, and at most they suffered the punishment they deserved.
But these guys, I pulled them out of the gates of hell, so that they didn’t have to roll into the meat grinder like those clones.
And he was still picking and choosing.
”If you still want to have breakfast tomorrow, then do as we say.”
Throwing down this sentence, Fang Chang shook his head and turned to walk towards the dock.
Watching his back, Iser swallowed his saliva, only feeling the heat and sweat on his back, but his palms were slightly cold.
The moment he heard about Modric’s fate, he suddenly felt that it was a good thing that he got on the wrong ship…
Several rat cannon fodders holding shovels not far away exchanged blank glances, but were thinking about other things in their hearts.
Breakfast?
What is breakfast?
