Chapter 152 Mission "Blood Debt!"

All right.

  After listening to Lu Yang's explanation, Chu Guang realized that it was a false alarm.

  The two thousand people are all clones, and they are still mass-produced.

According to Lu Yang, the black technology mastered by the Legion can produce a clone that develops eight times faster than normal humans. This kind of clone not only has low maintenance costs, but also quickly leaves the cabin, and it only takes 2 years to form after leaving the cabin. fighting power.

   Unlike other clones, they either stay in the jar for a year or so and come out after reaching the desired biological age, or start developing from the age of 0 like normal babies.

  The clones of the legion are almost impeccable when used as cannon fodder, and their morale is much stronger than that of the general predators. With the support of the legion industry, their equipment is not too hip, at least better than the predators.

  The only flaw is that two years is not enough for them to build a complete mind. These clones are usually driven by fear and pain, relying on the instinct of beasts to fight.

  The vast majority of people can only be used as light infantry, and only a few veterans can operate slightly more complicated equipment, and there is no need to expect too much efficiency and hit rate.

   Therefore, legions usually need a large number of junior officers to command or drive these cannon fodder, and occasionally enslave ordinary survivors to serve as coolies and build complex fortifications.

  The real backbone of the legion is also the huge junior officers. They are ten commanders on the battlefield and small slave owners outside the battlefield.

  An average of ten to twenty clone light infantry requires a commander to command. Only a few legions that believed in the "human sea tactics" army theory could achieve a ratio of 1:50 or even 1:100 between ten captains and clone light infantry, relying on a large number and sufficient weapons to overwhelm the opponent's defense line.

  No doubt.

  1000 clones are definitely cheaper than 1 power armor.

  According to Lujan, even in the utopian society before the war, there is no technology that allows clones to have a complete and mature mind in a short period of time.

   And when Chu Guang asked whether there was such a clone that "can be cultivated in only one month and has a complete mind", Lu Yang looked at him incredulously.

"Impossible! Produce a clone with a full mind in a month? If there is, wouldn't it be more convenient than a machine? I have walked all the way here from the East Coast, and I have heard of many strange things, but I have never heard of it. Said something like that."

"People are the cells of society. You can't completely break away from society to create a person who can adapt to society. Even we need to let employees receive basic education and induction training, and pass exams to select outstanding employees from the lower class, refugees, and indigenous people. talent."

"As for technology, at most it can speed up this process, shortening it from the original ten or twenty years to five or eight years. The mind must be built up bit by bit during the stage of brain development. This is not to insert a memory into the computer. something as simple as that."

   "If someone tells you that there is a technology that allows clones to have full mind in just one month, they are either crazy or liars."

  After listening to Lu Yang's resolute speech, Chu Guang couldn't help falling into silence, not knowing what to say for a while.

  I understand the truth.

  But what are my players?

  …

  Before leaving, Lu Yang solemnly promised to Chu Guang that he would compensate the injured workers and the families of the victims, and at 8 o'clock tonight, he would strike hard at the looters who claimed to be legions!

   The First Pioneer Corps will never tolerate anyone who dares to provoke them and harm their allies!

  Perhaps in order to appease his allies, Lu Yang even told Chu Guang the specific time of action.

   To be honest, this helped Chu Guang a lot.

  Two thousand people.

   These people can't fight with fire sticks, can they?

  Even if the equipment is rotten, the active substance is still a good thing...

  After Lu Yang left, Chu Guang turned and returned to the center of the camp.

  The dead and wounded have been sent away.

Old Luca, who had handled the corpses for himself, knew something, so he calmly covered the faces of the dead and seriously injured with things, preventing the people on the Pioneer from seeing their faces clearly, and letting the guards They carried them back.

   The players are very sensible, knowing that they are on a stretcher, this bug must be stuck, so they all pretend to be dying and stay motionless on the stretcher.

   Later, the screen went black.

   Those players who didn't die stomped their feet angrily, cursing and yelling.

   "Damn! Why is two pieces of shrapnel inserted into the stomach counted as a fatal injury, can't he still talk! It's not the head that was injured!"

  Of the 11 injured, 3 died of serious injuries. Including the 2 who died on the spot, this round of shelling caused a total of 5 deaths.

   This is not just a number, behind it are 5 families, and all the people who are familiar with them...

  The surrounding medical staff in the logistics department were silent.

  Only as if he was venting his sadness, and regarded the stones on the ground as those hateful villains ten kilometers away.

   At this time, it is better to let him stay alone for a while.

   As for the other 8 wounded, after their treatment, the wounds have basically healed.

  Looking at Chu Guang coming from the entrance of the camp, Werther took the initiative to find him and said that the captain had contacted him just now, and the pension would be paid to them later.

   At the same time, he also brought a piece of bad news—

  The collection plan for the afternoon was cancelled.

"The acquisition plan was cancelled? Why?" Seeing Werther with a dumb face, Chu Guang immediately came back to his senses, and explained righteously, "I mean, aren't those predators who claim to be legions in the northwest? I I heard that our construction site is in the north."

  The more wars are fought, the more production cannot be stopped!

   You can shoot out half a catty of working fluid with one shuttle, don't you have any clue about your own working fluid consumption speed?

  When fighting mutants before, Chu Guang had people recover their bullets and calculated that they fired tungsten steel bullets with a mass of 9g.

  A shuttle is calculated as 30 shots, it must be half a catty!

Werther hesitated and said: "That's what I said, but the straight-line distance between Yumu District and our resource collection point is only 5 kilometers, it's hard not to attract their attention... In order to reduce unnecessary casualties, our section chief's suggestion is, I hope you It can be temporarily withdrawn to avoid accidental injury during the battle."

   When he said this, Werther's mood was also very complicated.

   They certainly hope to continue production.

   But you can’t expect that something like this just happened, and let their allies risk their lives to help them pick up trash, right?

  At any rate, give people some time to grieve for a while, and deal with funeral affairs.

   Even their stingy section chief couldn't do the job of urging people to work after the front foot died.

  Chu Guang had no objection to the pension, but when he heard that the collection plan for the afternoon had been canceled and his people had to retreat, his mood was not so beautiful in an instant.

   MMP!

  Is it easy for him to earn some foreign exchange?

   Without money, how to improve the game experience for players? They can't be allowed to move bricks for a lifetime and burn cement for a lifetime.

   If this is withdrawn, the light industry plan that he had worked so hard to lay out will also be affected. This is just a trivial matter, and the key is that his players will not understand the content of the expansion pack.

   Afraid of wool!

  Grandpa is not cowardly, you guys are cowardly.

   Isn't it just right to come out from the forest on the opposite side?

  Drag into the city to fight street fights, it's not sure who beats who.

  However, Werther misunderstood the expression on Chu Guang's face, thinking that he was grieving for the residents of the shelter who died, and he couldn't help but tinge a trace of self-blame on his expression.

   "We are sorry that this happened, no one would have thought...they had two howitzers hidden."

  "It's not your fault, you don't have to apologize, those shameless people who suddenly fired at us should pay the price."

   Chu Guang's heart moved slightly, his heavy expression remained unchanged, he shook his head lightly, and walked away from Werther's side.

  Under the latter's surprised gaze, he came in front of the players, raised his volume, and said loudly.

   "A band of marauders calling themselves the Legion invaded our homeland from the north, and they fought undeclared war, trying to bring us to our knees with shells."

   "This is a shameful sneak attack!"

  The players fell silent and looked in the direction of the manager.

   Trigger the plot?

  A task is coming?

  Responding to the expectant eyes, Chu Guang continued in a loud and resolute voice.

  "The residents of Vault 404 will not surrender, and the blood of our compatriots will not be shed in vain."

   "We will let them know the price of angering us!"

   Almost at the same time, all the players with VMs on the scene received a task pop-up window at the same time.

  【Mission: Blood debt paid in blood! 】

  …

  The south gate of the Operation Camp.

  Looking at the blue coats retreating towards the south, two employees of the logistics department whispered to each other.

   "Those blue coats are gone?"

   "It should be. I heard that in order to avoid casualties, our section chief asked them to avoid it first."

   "Day...then you won't be able to eat steamed stuffed buns tomorrow?"

   "You know how to eat!"

   "You didn't eat less! But speaking of it... why do some of them wear VMs, while others don't?"

   "I don't know, not all blue coats carry that thing."

   "Well, I just thought it was a bit weird, because the ones who left were the ones with the VM. The ones who didn't, stayed in the camp."

   "Hiss... It's really strange for you to say that."

  The two employees of the logistics department were puzzled. After thinking about it, they didn't think it was something that needed to be reported, so they didn't take it to heart.

   As a matter of fact, those blue jackets with VM did go.

   But this is not a retreat.

   Instead, go back and copy the guy, ready to **** him!

  The 20-kilometer journey back and forth does not stop the player's determination to complete the task. The heavy snow floating all over the sky can't quench the boiling blood in their hearts.

   Legion is it.

   Who cares who you are, if you dare to bomb me, you will die!

eye for eye!

   A group of people returned to the shelter aggressively.

  In addition to picking up the bound rifle, all the little players who took over the mission also went to the warehouse to pick up a woven bag according to the requirements of the mission.

  When I searched the abandoned construction site before, there were a lot of bags made of high molecular polymers in the warehouse.

  For a long time, players in the scavenging stream usually use it instead of a backpack to hold the garbage they pick up, and now it just happens to be used to hold the loot!

if there is not.

   Then pretend to be yourself!

  Suddenly, the atmosphere in the shelter was surprisingly tragic. Looking at their inventory, many players are hesitating about what to bring to the battlefield.

  Fang Chang also fell into similar troubles.

   There is no doubt that Daybreak is the best choice. The explosive arrows can kill targets behind cover, and the armor-piercing arrows can even shoot through some light armor.

   But the problem is...

   The difficulty of this battle is probably not small.

  Even if you bind your equipment, there is no guarantee that you will be able to bring the equipment back intact.

  Standing by the side to check the equipment, Lao Bai saw the hesitation in his partner's eyes, put his right hand on his shoulder, and said with a smile.

   "Stop moaning, just take it if you want."

  Fang Chang shook his head and said solemnly.

   "The big guys chipped in to buy it. To be honest, this battle will definitely be much more difficult than when we fought against the Bloody Hand clan. I'm not sure I can bring it back."

  The death penalty in this game is a bit heavy.

In the past, when everyone's pockets were cleaner than their faces, they didn't feel much. Now as the game progresses further, Fang Chang feels more and more that the loss of equipment is the biggest loss compared to deducting the silver coins and the three-day resurrection CD. punish.

  So he must carefully calculate the benefits and risks involved, and what equipment to bring for what tasks.

  Expecting Fang Chang to say that, Lao Bai grinned and patted him on the shoulder.

"Equipment is bought for use, and there is a sense of being shy. Isn't the meaning of the game to do things that you want to do but dare not do in reality? Don't bring so much burden. Although the big guys chipped in to buy it for you , but I said I bought it for you, so don’t treat it as ours! If you don’t think you can use it, so don’t bring it, then I have no problem. But if you’re afraid of losing it, don’t use it at all, then you might as well hold a bow and arrow Spears fight and count."

Ye Shi giggled, and came over: "That's right, you're afraid of a ball! Are you planning to die there? I don't want to die! This bug hasn't been dealt with, and if I die, I don't know how many days it will take to be an OB , Let those cute newbies give away the head, I have to live to the end! No matter what, I have to bring back some spoils!"

  Guangfeng coughed softly: "Everyone, don't say that you will die, don't forget, we have to avenge the quitting smoking man."

  Old Bai laughed and said, "That's right, to avenge the smoking cessation dude! I almost forgot if the wind didn't mention it."

  Ye Shi: "That's right! Our smoking cessation buddy finally got the qualification to go online, and he was killed by the plot without experiencing anything. He must do something special!"

  Facing the encouraging eyes of his companions, Fang Chang was moved, a smile appeared on his face, and he finally stopped hesitating.

   "Well, what the hell!"

  …

   In the shelter.

  Fang Chang did not hesitate anymore, but at this moment [WC really has mosquitoes], he was still hesitating in his heart.

  After thinking for a long time, he finally sighed and went underground to the B2 floor.

  Since the end of the Winter is approaching expansion pack, Junk Jun hasn’t been out of the shelter. Still, he would regularly log in, doing push-ups and squats in the lobby.

  In his words, it can be upgraded in this way. Anyway, exercising in the game is not as tiring as in reality. If you don’t go online and can’t sleep, it’s better to find something to do.

  The big guys didn’t believe it at first.

   Turns out it really got him up a notch.

After that upgrade, Mr. Garbage was as excited as a two-hundred-pound child, and even went to the forum to update a guide, created a fitness game, and became the first person to play iron in "Wasteland OL", and " The tree-cutting demon stunned man "Midnight Killing Chicken" can be called a pair of crouching dragon and phoenix chicks.

  By the way, since he didn't do any tasks and it costs money to eat, mosquitoes are feeding him during this time.

  Of course, the same as when buying the land, the money is borrowed.

  Looking at the lizard squatting in the corner, Mosquito coughed softly.

   "Are you going to squat to level 99?"

   Jun Jun looked up with a look of surprise.

   "Huh? Why are you back?"

   Mosquito: "Mission, come back to get the equipment."

   "Oh, I received it too," Jun Jun nodded, with an envious expression on his face, "I really envy you, being able to roll in the snow, the last time I went out to fight—"

"Is it the same as last time?" Brother Mosquito comforted, "Don't worry, we are all normal people, even if we can go out, we will not roll in the snow. At most, we will do tasks, eat barbecue, and have a bowl of mushroom soup when we are thirsty." , listen to the lady boss’s trash talk, watch the cute and serious little fish count the money—"

   "Hey! Are you here to show off?!" Garbage Jun looked sad and angry, but because his face was too ugly, the grief and anger were not obvious.

   Mosquito said with a smile.

   "It's not...in fact, I'm here to tell you good news."

   “…no bad news?”

   "Yes, but not important."

   "???"

   Didn't pay attention to the vigilant expression on Garbage Lord's face, Mosquito coughed lightly and continued with a serious expression.

   "A while ago, didn't I help Fujito design a steam engine?"

  Jun Jun nodded vigorously.

   "I know, I saw Fujiteng complaining about you on the forum, saying that you only cared about playing for yourself, and what you made was not what she imagined—"

"That's not the point!" Mosquito interrupted him without hesitation, "The point is, after exchanging experience with Brother Suo, we have improved the steelmaking process, and now we can cast lighter and more durable boilers! Speaking of which, How much strength do you have?"

   "I've reached level 4 now... I have 14 points of strength," Mr. Junk's expression was slightly hesitant, and suddenly he understood something, his eyes widened, "Wait, are you trying to-"

  Seeing that his good brother understands him so well, Mosquito has a smile on his face.

"I need you to carry a 40kg heavy armor, a 10kg boiler and 60 liters of boiling water, rush into the forest in the most vicious posture you think, jump into the trench, and tear up the enemies in front of you! Or directly put Put boiling water on their faces! In short, use all the methods you can think of to kill them!"

  The mosquito stared at him with bright eyes.

   "Art is a blast!"

   "I often think that the explosion is not powerful enough to produce effective damage... Now I have a new way of thinking!"

   "Will you be my spark!"

  …

   7 p.m.

  Beside the steel platform of the Pioneer, 10 power armors have assembled.

   In addition, there are 15 light infantry wearing exoskeletons, and 5 mechanical dogs carrying dual-carrying drone hives.

   All morale high.

   Even the four-legged mechanical dog was rubbing against the metal soles.

   Lu Yang, standing in front of the formation, armed with a Gauss rifle and wearing a burly alloy heavy armor, was making the final pre-battle mobilization of his subordinates.

   These are almost all the ground weapons that can be dispatched on the Pioneer.

  As for the four-wheeled off-road vehicle, since it can’t play a big role in the complex mixed terrain of jungle and ruins, it is easy to be set on fire by the opponent when it breaks down in the snow pit, so it’s better not to bring it.

  Anyway, there are exoskeletons, and the ammunition that the light infantry can carry is enough for them to finish the battle, and their mobility will not be too bad.

  Although compared to the Legion, they are indeed at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

   But it's not a big problem.

In addition to running on the ground, there is also a light fixed-wing UAV in the sky, carrying 600 rounds of electromagnetic acceleration mass bombs, two metal hydrogen high-explosive bombs with an equivalent of 50 kilograms, and an adjustable equivalent of up to 10 tons. The tactical nuclear bombs are on standby at any time.

   Air supremacy is entirely on their side!

   At the same time, in the forest more than ten kilometers away.

  Vanus, who was sitting in the dark temporary command post, was quietly facing an old paper map.

  There are dense dots distributed on the map, like chess pieces on a sand table.

   Since the light source cannot be used, nothing can be seen here.

   However, it doesn't matter.

  Although the communication channel was silent, and the information about the enemy was also dark, Vanus didn't panic at all.

   This is not the first time he has fought an asymmetrical war. During the year of fighting the Great Rift Valley, he and his men have already experienced the power of technology.

   But so what?

  They themselves are the crystallization of technology.

  Extreme quantity is also a kind of quality.

   All deployments are done.

  He believes that his subordinates will bring him the glory of victory.

  At this time, a light shone in the distance, a mushroom cloud rose from the flat ground, and the shock wave of the explosion even faintly rushed to the door of the tent.

  The communication signal in the radio station is like a candle in the wind, intermittent, and under the influence of the electromagnetic pulse, it emits a noisy current sound.

  The lake-like calm pupils finally imprinted a trace of fanaticism, Vanus stood up from the chair, and put his fists on the map.

"finally come!"

  The sound of explosions came one after another, and the flames from the muzzle and the flames of the explosion ignited the edge of the forest and the ruins.

  Under the order of the commander of the tenth, the clone light infantry crawling in the trench pressed down the needle with the thumb and injected the anti-radiation agent into the blood vessel.

  The scorching light scorched their backs and burned their sides. The skin began to rot, the bone marrow was dying, and the organs were gradually failing. Their mouths seemed to contain a lump of rusty iron—

   But even so, it was not enough to make them die immediately.

  Even though hundreds of people died in just a moment ago, it was still not enough to shake them. The sting of the ants on the back of their necks constantly awakened the memory of fear in their brains.

   Don't look back!

  No retreat!

   "Fire!"

  The orange-yellow trajectory weaves a net over the forest and ruins, and the collision of steel and flesh plays the prelude under the snowy night.

  Under the cover of drones, power armor, exoskeleton infantry, and quadrotor drones are like a sharp armored spearhead piercing the side ribs of the legion.

  The line of defense was torn apart instantly, like a snowman being toppled.

   However, the Legion is obviously not just for nothing.

  The clone light infantry rushed forward one after another, and the bazooka shuttled between the silent forest and the ruins. Accompanied by the fragmentation grenades thrown by the grenades, the gravel and rubble were blown up everywhere.

  Snow is dyed red by fire.

   The night burns in the north wind.

  Lu Yang's face was solemn, and he turned off the night vision function of the helmet while replacing the barrel, because it is no longer needed.

   What no one knows is.

  At this moment, a group of blue coats with long guns and short cannons, taking advantage of the cover of night, quietly approached from the east of the battlefield...
