Chapter 152 Mission "Blood Debt and Blood Payment!"

All right.

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

   Those 2,000 people were clones, and they were mass-produced.

According to Lu Yang, the black technology mastered by the legion can produce a clone with a development speed eight times that of a normal human being. This clone is not only low-maintenance, but also quick to leave the cabin, and can be formed in just 2 years after leaving the cabin. combat power.

   Unlike other clones, they either stay in a jar for a year or a half, and then come out after reaching the desired biological age, or develop from the age of 0 like a normal baby.

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

The only flaw of    is that two years is not enough time for them to build a complete mind, these clones are usually driven by fear and pain, relying on the instinct of the beast 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 efficiency and accuracy are not expected.

   Therefore, the legion usually needs a large number of junior officers to command or drive these cannon fodder, and occasionally enslaves ordinary survivors to serve as coolies and build complex fortifications.

The real backbone of the    legion is the huge subordinate officers, who are ten commanders on the battlefield and small slave owners outside the battlefield.

   An average of ten to twenty cloned light infantry would require a ten commander to command. Only a few legions that believe in the army doctrine of "human sea tactics" can achieve the ratio of ten commanders and clone light infantry to 1:50 or even 1:100, relying on a huge number and sufficient weapons to overwhelm the opponent's defense line.

   No doubt about it.

  1000 clones are definitely cheaper than 1 power armor.

  According to Luyan, even in the utopian society before the war, there was no technology that would allow clones to have a complete and mature mind in a short period of time.

   When asked by Chu Guang if there is a clone that "can be cultivated in a month and has a complete mind", Lu Yang looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Impossible! To produce a full mind clone in a month? If there is, wouldn't it be more convenient than a machine? I've been here all the way from the east coast, and I've heard a lot of weird things, but never heard of them. Said something like that."

"People are the cells of society, you can't completely separate from society and create a person who can adapt to society. Even we need to let employees receive basic education and induction training, and select lower-level employees and refugees and indigenous people through examinations. 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 little by little 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 can give clones full minds in just one month, it's either a lunatic or a liar."

   After listening to Lu Yang's determined 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 Chu Guang that he would compensate the injured workers and the families of the deceased, and attack those looters who claimed to be legions at 8 o'clock tonight!

   The First Pioneer Corps will not tolerate anyone who dares to provoke them and hurt their allies!

  Perhaps to appease his allies, Lu Yang even told Chu Guang the specific time of the 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, active substances are still good things...

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

   The dead and wounded have been sent away.

Old Luca, who had dealt with corpses for himself, knew something, so he calmly covered the faces of the dead and the seriously wounded with things, so that the people on the pioneer ship could not see their faces clearly, and let the guards They were carried back.

  The players are very sensible and know that they are on the stretcher, this bug must be stuck, so they all act as if they are dying and stay motionless on the stretcher.

   Later, the screen simply went black.

   On the other hand, those players who didn't die, stomped angrily and cursed.

   "Hey! Why are two pieces of shrapnel inserted in the stomach a fatal injury, can't he still speak! It's not the head that hurts!"

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

   It's not just a number, behind it are 5 families and everyone who knows them...

   The medical staff in the surrounding logistics department were silent.

  Only when he was venting his sadness, he regarded the stones on the ground as the wicked group of villains ten kilometers away.

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

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

   Looking at Chu Guang coming from the entrance of the camp, Werther took the initiative to look for it, saying 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 canceled.

"The collection plan has been canceled? Why?" Looking at Werther with a dumb face, Chu Guang immediately came back to his senses and explained righteously, "I mean, aren't those looters who call themselves legions in the northwest? I I heard that our construction site is in the north."

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

   You can shoot out half a catty of working fluid in one shuttle, don’t you have any idea about the consumption rate of your working fluid?

  When he fought mutants before, Chu Guang asked people to recycle their warheads and calculated that they fired tungsten steel bullets with a mass of 9g.

   A shuttle is calculated at 30, which must be half a catty!

Witt hesitated: "That's what I said, but the straight-line distance between Yumu District and our resource collection point is only 5 kilometers, it is difficult not to attract their attention... In order to reduce unnecessary casualties, our section chief's suggestion is to hope that You can withdraw temporarily to avoid accidental injuries during the battle."

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

   They certainly want to keep producing.

   But you can't expect such a thing to happen just now, and let their allies risk their lives to help them pick up garbage, right?

   Anyway, give people some time to grieve for a while and deal with the future.

  The front foot dies and the back foot urges people to work, even their stingy section chief can't do it.

  Chu Guang had no objection to the pension, but when he heard that the collection plan in the afternoon was actually canceled, and he had to let his people retreat, his mood instantly became less beautiful.

  MMP!

   Does he want to earn some foreign exchange easily?

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

  If this is withdrawn, the light industry plan he has finally laid out will also be affected. This is only a small matter. The key is that his players will not understand the content of the expansion.

   Afraid of wool!

  Master is not cowardly, you are cowardly.

   Isn't it good to come out of the forest on the opposite side?

   dragged into the city to fight in the streets, who is not sure who beats who.

   However, Werther misunderstood the expression on Chu Guang's face, thinking that he was sad for the refugee residents who died, and his expression couldn't help but bring a trace of remorse.

   "We're sorry that this happened, no one thought...they were hiding two howitzers."

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

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

   As the latter watched in surprise, he came to the players, raised the volume, and said loudly.

   "A gang of raiders calling themselves the Legion invaded our homeland from the north, undeclared war, and tried to bring us to their knees with cannonballs."

   "This is a shameful sneak attack!"

  The players quieted down and looked in the direction of the manager.

   Trigger the plot?

   Mission is coming?

   Responding to the pair of expectant eyes, Chu Guang continued to speak in a loud and determined voice.

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

   "We'll let them know, the price of angering us!"

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

  【Mission: Blood Debt Repayment! 】

  …

   South gate of the action camp.

   Looking at the blue jackets retreating towards the south, the two employees of the logistics department exchanged whispers.

   "Those blue jackets gone?"

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

   "Sun... Then won't we be able to eat steamed buns tomorrow?"

   "You know how to eat!"

   "You don't eat too much! But speaking of it...why do some of them bring VMs and some don't?"

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

   "Well, I just thought it was a little weird, because the ones with VMs walked. Those without VMs stayed in the camp."

   "Hey...you're really weird to say that."

   The two logistics staff were puzzled, and after thinking about it, they didn’t think it was something that needed to be reported, so they didn’t take it to heart.

   In fact, those blue jackets with VMs did go.

   But this is not a retreat.

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

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

   Legion?

   No matter who you are, you will die if you dare to bomb me!

eye for eye!

   A group of people returned to the shelter menacingly.

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

   When searching for abandoned construction sites before, there were a lot of bags made of this kind of polymer woven in the warehouse.

   For a long time, scavenger players usually use it instead of backpacks to hold the garbage they picked up, and now it is just used to hold the loot!

if there is not.

   Then pretend to be yourself!

  In an instant, the atmosphere in the shelter was unexpectedly tragic. Looking at their inventory, many players are hesitant about what to bring to the battlefield.

   Fangchang also fell into a similar trouble.

   There is no doubt that Daybreak is the best choice, explosive arrows can kill targets behind cover, and 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 own equipment, there is no guarantee that you will be able to bring back the equipment intact.

   Old Bai, who was standing beside him checking his equipment, saw the hesitation in his partner's eyes, put his right hand on his shoulder, and said with a smile.

   "Don't grind, just take it if you want."

   Fang Chang shook his head and said cautiously.

   "The big guys bought it together with money. To be honest, this battle will definitely be more difficult than the **** 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 compared to deducting the silver coins and the three-day resurrection CD. punish.

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

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

"Equipment is for use when you buy it. The point of the game is to do things that you want to do but dare not do in reality? Don't bring so much burden. , but they all say that we bought it for you, so don't take it as ours! If you don't think you can use it, so don't bring it, then I don't mind. But if you're afraid of losing it, don't use it at all, then it's better to take a bow and arrow Spear fights count."

Ye Shi smiled and came over: "That's right, I'm afraid of a ball! Are you planning to die there? I don't want to die! This bug has not been dealt with, and if it dies, I don't know how many days it will take to OB. , the heads are given to those cute newbies, and I have to live to the end! No matter what, I have to get some spoils back!"

   Gufeng coughed lightly: "Everyone, don't say whether you will die or not, don't forget, we have to avenge the quit smoking brother."

   Lao Bai laughed and said, "That's right, avenge the quit smoking brother! I almost forgot about Gu Feng."

  Ye Shi: "That's right! We quit smoking bro finally got the qualification to go online, and we killed the plot without experiencing anything. We must do something special!"

   Seeing the encouraging eyes of his friends, Fang Chang was moved, a smile appeared on his face, and finally he no longer hesitated.

   "Well, what the hell!"

  …

   Inside the shelter.

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

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

   Since the end of the Winter is approaching expansion, Junkman has not been out of the shelter. Still, he'll be on the line regularly, doing push-ups and squats in the hall.

   In his words, it can be upgraded in this way. Anyway, the exercise in the game is not as tiring as in reality, and you can’t sleep if you are not online. It is better to find something to do.

   Big guy didn't believe it at first.

   The result really gave him a level up.

After the upgrade, Jun Jun was so excited like a 200-pound child, he even went to the forum to update a guide, created a fitness method, and became the first person to play iron in "Wasteland OL", and " "Chopping down trees and bewildering people" can be regarded as a pair of crouching dragons and phoenixes.

  By the way, since he didn't do the task and he had to spend money on food, mosquitoes were feeding him during this time.

   Of course, the money is borrowed, just like when buying the land.

   Looking at the lizard practicing squats in the corner, Mosquito said with a light cough.

   "Are you planning to train your squat to level 99?"

   Junkman raised his head with a look of surprise.

   "Huh? Why are you back?"

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

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

"Is it the last time?" Brother Mosquito comforted, "Don't worry, we are all normal people. Even if we can go out, we won't roll in the snow. At most, we can do tasks, eat barbecue, and come to a bowl of mushroom soup when we are thirsty. , listen to the trash talk of the boss, watch the cute and serious little fish count the money-"

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

   Mosquito laughed and said.

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

   "...no bad news?"

   "Yes, but not important."

  “???”

   Ignoring the alert expression on Junk Jun's face, Mosquito coughed lightly and continued with a serious expression.

   "Some time ago, didn't I help Teng Teng design a steam engine?"

   Junkman nodded vigorously.

   "I know, I saw Fujiteng complaining about you on the forum, saying that you were just playing around with yourself, and the things she made were not what she imagined-"

"That's not the point!" Mosquito interrupted him without hesitation, "The point is, after I exchanged experiences with Brother Toilet Suo, I improved the steel-making process, and we can now cast lighter and more durable boilers! Speaking of which, How much power do you have?"

   "I've reached level 4 now... I have 14 points of strength," Jun Jun hesitated, suddenly understood something, and his eyes widened, "Wait, are you thinking—"

   Seeing his good brother understand him so well, Mosquito's face showed a smile.

"I need you to carry 40 kilograms of heavy armor, a 10 kilogram boiler and 60 liters of boiling water, rush into the forest in the most ferocious posture you think, jump into the trenches, and shred the enemy in front of you! Or directly put Boil water on their faces! In short, kill them in any way you can think of!"

   Mosquito stared at him with shining eyes.

   "Art is a blast!"

   "I often think that the power of the explosion is not strong enough to produce effective damage... and now I have a new idea!"

   "Would you like to be my spark!"

  …

   7pm.

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

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

   All morale is high.

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

   Standing in front of the battle, Lu Yang, holding a Gauss rifle and wearing a burly alloy heavy armor, is making the final pre-war mobilization for his subordinates.

   This is almost all the ground armament that can be deployed on the Pioneer.

   As for the four-wheeled off-road vehicle, since it cannot play much role in the complex mixed terrain of jungle and ruins, it is easy to be caught by the opponent when it is anchored in the snow pit, so it is better not to bring it.

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

   Although compared to the Legion, they are indeed a bit inferior in numbers.

   But no problem.

In addition to running on the ground, there is also a light fixed-wing UAV in the sky, carrying 600 electromagnetically accelerated mass bombs, two metal hydrogen high-explosive bombs with an equivalent of 50 kilograms, and a variable-yield, maximum 10 tons tactical nuclear bombs on standby.

   Air dominance is entirely on their side!

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

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

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

   Nothing can be seen here as there is no light source available.

   However, it doesn't matter.

  Although the communication channel was silent and the information about the enemy was pitch black, Vanus didn’t panic at all.

   This is not the first time he has fought asymmetrical warfare. During the year he fought against the Great Rift Valley, he and his subordinates had already experienced the power of technology.

   But so what?

   They themselves are the crystallization of technology.

  The ultimate quantity is also a quality.

   All deployments are done.

   He believed that his men would bring him the glory of victory.

   At this moment, a light lit up in the distance, the mushroom cloud rose from the ground, and the shock wave of the explosion even rushed to the door of the tent.

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

   The calm pupil of the lake finally showed a hint of frenzy, Vanus stood up from the chair and put his fist on the map.

"finally come!"

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

  Under the command of the ten commander, the cloned light infantryman crawling in the trench pressed down the needle with his thumb and injected the anti-radiation agent into the blood vessel.

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

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

   Even if they had died in a few hundred people just now, it was still not enough to shake them. The sting of the ant's nibbling on the back of the neck constantly awakened the memory of fear in their brains.

  Don't look back!

  No retreat!

   "Fire!!"

  The orange-yellow ballistics weave a net over the forest and ruins, and the collision of steel and flesh played an overture under the snowy night.

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

The    line of defense is torn apart instantly, like a snowman being pushed down.

   However, the legion is obviously not dry.

  Clone light infantry rushed forward one after another, the bazooka shuttled between the silent forest and the ruins, along with the fragmentation grenades thrown by the grenade launcher, the gravel and rubble were blasted everywhere.

  Snow is dyed red by fire.

   The night burns in the north wind.

  Lu Yang looked solemn and turned off the night vision function of the helmet while replacing the barrel, because it is no longer needed.

   No one knows that.

   At this moment, a group of blue jackets carrying long spears and short cannons are quietly approaching from the east of the battlefield, taking advantage of the cover of the night...
