Chapter 188 What year is it now?

  The passageway hidden behind the wall is dark.

   can even be used to describe the five fingers out of reach.

   The circuit here doesn’t seem to be connected to the outside world. Although something like a light-emitting strip is attached to the corner, there is no response at all when approaching the past.

   With the light from the vm, the two little players explored the passage with excitement and anxiety.

   Teng Teng with a red nose, rubbed his shoulders with both hands, and glanced left and right.

   "It's so cold... Why does it feel like the temperature here is lower than outside."

   "It's really a bit... and it still feels so eerie." Ya Ya shrank her neck and looked at the front nervously, "Do you think there will be something strange running out?"

"for example?"

   "You, ghost or something..."

   What nonsense is this.

   Hearing this mindless remark, Fujito sighed and said.

   "Impossible, it's a sci-fi game anyway. Even if something does come out, it should be something like a gnat, a leech, or a big spider, right?"

   "Hey! Don't scare me."

   Ya Ya stopped and did not dare to go forward.

  Teng Teng looked back at her helplessly.

   "I'll just say it casually. As for... Are you not a perception type? And the level is not low. Even if there is such a thing, the perception attribute can be a warning."

   Hearing this sentence, Yaya's face flushed, and after a while, she whispered.

   "I... I'm not very good at fighting, and the experience is all the time I gather."

   Although the level has risen, the combat experience is almost 0... Fujito tried to understand it, it should be the meaning.

   "It's okay, so do I... But I thought you were someone who died once, so you should have some experience in this area."

   Ya Ya said with a bitter face.

   "That being said, but I don't want to die, do you know how hard nights are without a helmet?"

really.

  Teng Teng can't imagine how boring nights would be without a helmet.

   This game is simply poisonous.

   Since the helmet, the social needs in reality have completely dropped to 0. She disappeared completely after get off work, and no one sent messages to harass her again, and she should not be seen if she did.

   A world where you can do what you want without having to deal with complicated relationships is a wonderful place!

   put his hands on Yaya's back, and Fujiteng pushed her forward urgingly.

   "Yes yes yes... let's go, wait for a while before the eggs will be cold."

   "Yeah, don't push me."

   If there was really something ahead, I would have spotted them long ago when I heard their voices.

   But Teng Teng, who raised the corners of his mouth, did not panic at all.

   If the battle is really triggered...

   You have a lot of meat, so you should be able to eat it for a while, right?

  Please feel free to go with big breasts!

  Teng Teng will go out and call for reinforcements to avenge you!

   The corridor soon came to an end.

   Passing through a door, the two of them quietly walked into a room of about twenty or thirty square meters.

  This is like a warehouse with 20 dormant cabins on display.

   Seeing these dormant cabins, Crow's eyes suddenly turned into the color of silver coins.

   "Sleep Pod!"

   A well-preserved sleeping pod can be sold for 50~100 silver coins!

   turned his head to look at Fujiteng, Crow's eyes shone brightly.

   "Teng Teng! We are one and a half!"

   "What nonsense are you talking about, you can't take the things here... But, there should be Easter eggs here."

   All 20 dormant cabins are closed.

  Tengteng walked in and took a look at the hatch. However, it didn't matter when she saw it, her little face turned white with a swipe, and her lips trembled as she said.

   "Dead, dead man..."

  The dry corpse is covered with a blue coat, and the organic matter has almost decayed, leaving only a layer of dry skin and mildew.

   Fear spontaneously emerged, she subconsciously took a half step back, and the back of her head just hit a ball of softness.

   "There are a lot of corpses, is it because the dormant compartment is powered off?" Yaya standing behind Fujiteng didn't care, rubbing his chin with his right hand, staring at the mummy in the dormant compartment, lost in thought.

   Seeing that she was still thinking about observation, Fujiteng couldn't help swallowing and whispered nervously.

   "You, are you not afraid?"

   Ya Ya tilted her head.

   "Well... if I have to say it, I'm not completely afraid. Even if the filter is added, the model is quite realistic, but this is a game, right?"

   "Just, even if it's a game..."

   Ya Ya continued as a matter of course.

   "And there's nothing to be afraid of that's already dead, it's not a moving monster. Anyway, it's much better than the slimy mutant leech."

  Teng Teng: "..."

   Completely incomprehensible!

   She didn't feel any better.

When    was talking, Ya Ya had already walked to the side of another sleeping cabin.

   While muttering something, she lit the floor with the light of the VM, searching for some trace that she could not see.

   Suddenly, as if she had found something, she quickly walked to the side of a sleeping cabin in surprise.

   "Fujiteng! Come here! This way!"

  Teng Teng said alertly.

   "I'm not coming, you tell me what is there first?"

   "Don't worry, it's not a corpse! The people inside seem to be alive!"

  “?!”

   Hearing that there was a living person, Fujito hurried over.

   At this moment, his hands groped for a while on the dormant cabin, as if he had touched a switch.

   Hearing a babbling sound, cold gas leaked from the gap between the hatch cover and the cabin of the dormant cabin, and then the frost-covered hatch slowly opened.

  Teng Teng noticed that there was a young lady in a blue coat lying in the ice coffin-like cabin.

   She looks young, about twenty or so, with slender and soft lines, and her physique is between herself and Raven. Especially striking are the long silver-white hair—and the blue eyes.

   As the hatch opened, the man also woke up from his slumber.

   However, it seems that because she just woke up, her expression was a little dull, and after a long time, she glanced around blankly.

   His eyes fell on Yaya, who was closest to her, and the woman lying in the cabin said in a hoarse voice.

   "What year is it now...?"

  Teng Teng and Ya Ya glanced at each other.

"what did she say?"

   "It seems to say 'now'?" Occasionally, nomads will come to her stall to buy mushrooms. Yaya has learned a few phrases, but she doesn't know the grammar.

  Teng Teng's heart moved, he hurriedly approached, and gestured three numbers with his fingers.

   "211?"

   The woman looked blank, but seemed to understand, and there was a hint of relief in her eyes.

   "Year 211 of the Wasteland Age?"

   I slept for more than 20 years...

   is really long enough.

   stared at Yaya for a while, her eyes suddenly lit up, she laboriously raised her weak arm and held her right hand.

   "DNA... can you lend me some? I want to study it."

  Yaya looked confused.

   Ah this...

   Are you saying thank you to yourself?

"……you are welcome?"

   It seems that she realized her abruptness from the dazed expression on her face. The woman took her hand back embarrassedly and said with a light cough.

   "Sorry... Occupational disease committed."

  Teng Teng and Ya Ya looked at each other and exchanged in a low voice.

"How to do?"

   "It seems to trigger a hidden mission."

   "But there are no subtitles... By the way, do you understand what she's saying?"

"do not understand at all!"

   "Then... let's take her to the guards first."

   The two reached a consensus.

"we can only do this."

  …

  On the road leading to Changchang Farm.

  Vanus, who was sitting in the back of the truck, bumped his shoulders with the truck. Glancing at the road outside the truck, he spoke to the young guard sitting next to him.

   "You cleared all the obstacles on the road?"

"Yes."

  Although he didn't really want to pay attention to the captive, Lu Bei thought of the manager's instructions to him, so he replied impatiently.

  Vanus couldn't help but praise.

   "The wise choice... Few of the survivors' settlements would go to the trouble of building those roads, yet they didn't know that this was the greatest wealth left to them by the pre-war society."

Every time the    Legion occupied an area, the first thing to do is to repair the road there, and if conditions permit, build a railway.

   Even if it is extremely difficult to maintain a stable traffic route in the wasteland, the combat effectiveness of the front-line troops can only be guaranteed by ensuring smooth logistics.

   To ensure smooth logistics, they even arranged for young junior officers to patrol the legion's road network with clone light infantry.

   Coincidentally, at this time, Vanus saw that the people who were clearing the road were his subordinates, his expression suddenly embarrassed, and he stopped talking.

   The only consolation is that his subordinates seem to be looking good?

   At least they were all wearing thick clothes, and they didn't seem to have been brutally abused, but they looked confused and numb.

   admired his expression of eating turtles, Lu Bei laughed and said nothing.

   Joke!

  Do you need to say more about the wisdom of the manager?

   Stupid captive!

  The ten-kilometer journey is not far, plus it is a nearly straight road, there is not much place to slow down in the middle, and the truck quickly arrives at the station.

   hit his back with the **** of his gun, and Lu Bei motioned for him to get out of the car.

  Vanus didn't say anything, he didn't even think about escaping in this horrible weather, and jumped out of the truck obediently.

   followed him out of the car, Lu Bei carried the rifle on his back, stepped on the snow to the south gate of Changchang Farm, and gave a military salute to the guards on duty at the gate.

   "By the order of the administrator, I brought the war criminals."

  The slightly older guard looked at him and nodded.

   "Good job, the manager is in the middle room, you should bring people over there."

"Yes!"

  Lu Bei turned around in good spirits and waved to Vanus, signaling him to come over.

   "Listen, I'm taking you to see the manager now, you'd better pay attention to your words and deeds."

   Vanus said meekly.

   "Ok sir, I will."

   It has been a while since we last met, and he really wanted to meet the person who once defeated him on the battlefield.

   Although the one who defeated him on the frontal battlefield was that Lu Yang, he did not have much respect in his heart for those profiteers who relied on the strength of their equipment to stand opposite him.

   On the contrary, it was the survivors who were not afraid of death and rushed to the flanks of his position, which left a deeper impression on him.

   When he was in the prisoner of war camp before, Vanus heard from his ten commanders how brave those survivors were on the battlefield.

   They are as flexible as normal people, interspersed in front and back, but they are more unafraid of sacrifice than clone infantry, and regard death as nothing.

What kind of charismatic leader is   , so that his soldiers have such a noble spirit of sacrifice and enthusiasm.

   After this period of work and communication with the brick factory workers, Vanus found some answers, but more confusion followed.

   Intuition told Vanus that maybe only that person could answer the question in his heart.

   Through the city gate, Vanus followed in the footsteps of the young guard and soon came to a concrete house.

  Through the half-closed window, a roaring fire can be seen.

  Lu Bei stepped forward and knocked on the door. After getting the answer to come in, he brought Vanus in.

   There were a lot of people sitting in the room, including Luca, who was in charge, the captain of the guard, and two people who he had never met or knew.

   They seem to be negotiating something.

  Vanus noticed that when he entered the house, everyone looked at him.

  Especially the tall and strange man, after seeing his nose, a trace of anger appeared in his pupils slightly stagnant. The other man, who looked a little thin and dressed as a nomad, had a trace of fear in his eyes.

  Vanus probably had some idea in his mind.

   Both of them should be refugees, one is a landless survivor, the other is estimated to be a migratory herdsman, and 80% of them are from the northern or central regions of the River Valley Province.

   He saw a lot of people like this when he went south. Basically, he turned around and ran away when he saw his flag.

   Walking in front of the manager, Lu Bei straightened his back, put his right hand on his chest, respectfully—even said reverently.

   "Sir, I brought you the person you want!"

   Looking at the guard who looked only a little older than a child, Chu Guang nodded in appreciation.

   "Very good, people can stay here, you go down first."

"Yes!"

When    went out from the house, Lu Bei closed the door.

  As the wooden door closed, the air in the room suddenly quieted down, only the crackling of firewood in the fireplace was heard.

  Vanus' Adam's apple moved, hesitating whether he should take the initiative to say something.

   However, at this time, the manager sitting on the main seat turned his eyes away from him and looked at the nomad with fear written on his face.

   "Go ahead."

   "Yes, my lord..."

   glanced at Vanus, who was standing by the door, the nomad swallowed and continued cautiously.

"We passed through the northern part of the valley province, where the situation was beyond description, the hills were sunk by shells, the hard ground was turned into a quagmire, the ground was full of corpses, attracting vultures, hyenas, gnawing Or even Deathclaw..."

"The people of the Great Rift Valley refused to take us in. We dared not stay there. We had to bypass the battlefield along the west side and continue to the south. However, the situation in the south was also very bad. We got on 2 and killed 5 people before we killed one and controlled the other. After inquiring, we learned that the people from the Great Rift Valley won, the Legion's expedition force collapsed, and General Klaas died in the chaos. ."

   The expedition was defeated?

  Vanus looked blank.

   However, for some reason, when he heard the news, there was no trace of turbulence in his heart. Obviously, until half a month ago, he still firmly believed that General Klaas was invincible, but at this moment he felt a sense of relief.

it is finally over.

   Jiuli, who was standing in the room, glanced at him, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, his expression was a little mocking, but he didn't think that this person didn't look at him at all, so he looked back in disappointment.

  Chu Guang stared at the nomad and asked, "Is the news reliable?"

  The nomads are obedient.

   "My lord, I don't know, but it should be accurate... After all, it was said by the people of the legion."

  The people of the Legion said it themselves.

  The reliability should still be quite high.

  Chu Guang fell into deep thought.

   At this time, the captain of the guard who was standing beside him took a step forward with a wrench and said with a serious expression.

"My lord, if the troop of the Legion continues to the south, we will probably encounter those locusts before long. I suggest digging trenches and fortifications in the north of Long Long Farm, and deploying patrols further north, and at Elm Set up outposts in the Wood District and the northern urban area."

   Old Luca also remonstrated.

"I think so too."

   Building defense lines and expanding patrols are the most basic and inevitable. I am afraid this winter will be more lively than I imagined.

  Chu Guang nodded, agreeing, then looked at the nomad and continued, "Have you seen anything else along the way?"

   The nomadic herdsman was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought hard for a while, then suddenly, as if he had remembered something, he hurriedly said.

   "When we were passing through TS City, we heard a rumor from the survivors who stayed there to rest... But I'm not sure if it's accurate."

  Chu Guang looked at him and said.

"you say."

   The nomad continued cautiously.

   "They say that in the central and western parts of the river valley, a huge tribe of predators is rising rapidly. Some people say that they have absorbed part of the legion's rout soldiers, and some people say that they are the legion's rout soldiers themselves.

  Chu Guang asked.

   "What's their name?"

   the nomad whispered.

   "Bone Chew, my lord, I remember it's Bone Chew."

   "It must be the gang of Legion!" Jiuli scolded, "Those bugs are like the plague, there must be no good things where they are!"

  Vanus did not dare to make a sound, and tried to pretend to be air.

  Luka looked at Chu Guang and whispered Nuo Nuo.

   "My lord, the chaos is spreading, and I have an ominous premonition."

   Does this need a hunch?

   The index finger lightly tapped the armrest of the chair, Chu Guang stared at the nomadic nomad with a worried expression in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

   This group of nomads, like Wu Tie Axe, also migrated from the north, but they are obviously not the same tribe.

   More than 50 people are not too many, but only less than 30% of the young and middle-aged labor force. Obviously, there are many battles along the way.

   Another thing that Chu Guang is more interested in is that these people not only brought 5 yaks, but also raised a certain number of poultry.

   This is definitely a surprise.

   He hadn't eaten tea eggs for a long time, and he didn't know the taste of eggs boiled with spirit leaves.

   After a long time, Chu Guang said.

   "Your tribe is allowed to migrate to Linghu Wetland Park to stay with other nomadic tribes who migrated here."

The    man sighed in relief, knelt down on the spot in gratitude, and put his head on the floor.

   "Thank you, sir! My tribe and I have decided to serve you to the death!"

"The word spear is too murderous and easy to confuse. You came in winter and will be called Frostspear in the future." Looking at the man kneeling on the ground, Chu Guang continued, "I will confirm your loyalty with my eyes, now Stand up, we don’t want to kneel here. You don’t need to kneel when you see me, just put your right fist on your left chest.”

   "Yes! Thank you for your name!"

   Frostspear, who received the name, happily retired.

   It doesn't matter what the name is.

   The key is who gave the name.

   In the culture of most tribesmen and refugees in the wasteland, giving a name means acceptance and naturalization. They will pass on part of their name from generation to generation until the bloodline dies.

   As soon as the door opened and closed, a cold air blew into the room.

  Chu Guang then looked at Vanus who was standing beside the door and said.

   "Now, let's discuss your problem."

  ——
