Chapter 21 Hostile forces! New information unlocked!

   Around 3:00 noon.

  Chu Guang returned to the outpost on the surface of Refuge 404 with Ye Shi and the prey harvested from hunting.

   The harvest of this outing was quite gratifying. Although the two mutant hyenas looked a little thinner, they both weighed forty or fifty kilograms.

   As one of the main sources of meat for survivors in the wasteland, mutant hyenas are the most cost-effective prey. The meat it can provide is more than ten times that of mutant mice, and the number is also quite large, often appearing in groups of three or five, and the most important thing is that the risk of food poisoning is not too high.

   is only relative, in the absence of guns, it is difficult for ordinary scavengers to defeat this kind of group action alien with cold weapons.

   "Two mutant hyenas, and... a piece of good news and a piece of bad news." Chu Guang said, looking at the players approaching after throwing the prey at the entrance of the nursing home.

   Lao Bai was the first to ask questions.

   "What is the good news?"

  Chu Guang replied.

"The good news is that there is an unfinished construction site in the northeast of the wetland park along the out-of-city elevated road, where we found a large amount of limestone used for the project, which should have been desulfurized. There are also some abandoned carts. , it should work if you fix it."

  Old Bai had a happy expression on his face, and clenched his fists excitedly.

"Great!"

   He was worried that he could not find the raw materials for refining calcium carbonate cement, but he did not expect this problem to be solved so quickly.

   And it’s a ready-made material!

   However, Fang Chang, who was standing next to him, felt that things were not so simple.

   "What about the bad news?"

  Chu Guang continued.

   "The east gate of Wetland Park, continue along 76th Street, is the camp of mutants, roughly estimated, the number is above 20."

   The three players looked at each other and did not understand the meaning of this sentence.

   Seeing the confusion of his companions, Ye Shi hurriedly explained.

   "The mutants are hostile forces! They are powerful in combat, and the most important thing is to eat people, we must be careful!"

  Chu Guang nodded.

   "That's pretty much what it means."

   The three players were not afraid after listening to it, but showed eager expressions, but Chu Guang quickly poured cold water on their excitement.

   "Those mutants are not something we can deal with now. They are at least level 10 and above, and rash contact will not only give us nothing, but also expose our position."

   "From now on, everyone is prohibited from approaching 76th Street and from going out from the east gate of Wetland Park until the threat is lifted!"

  …

  The players are pretty obedient.

  Although I am curious about what mutants look like, the managers who hold the GM authority have said so, and they dare not disobey the order.

  Closing the little dark house is a trivial matter.

   The favorability level that has finally been raised has dropped, which is too uncomfortable.

  The player doesn't seem to need to worry about it.

   After briefly inspecting the fruits of the morning's labor, Chu Guang concentrated on how to deal with the prey he had just hit.

  Although he had eaten this stuff before, he bought it from the BBQ stall on Bate Street, and he had never dealt with it himself.

  Chu Guang only heard that the newly caught prey needs to be bled immediately, otherwise the meat will turn fishy and smelly.

   For the past five months, he mainly earned chips by picking up garbage, and he didn’t have much hunting experience.

   After all, hunting is too dangerous for a solo traveler.

   In short, after killing the prey, he cut the main artery of the prey, but always felt that the blood was still not drained.

   Just as Chu Guang was thinking about it, the wind came towards him.

   "Dear Manager."

"Is there a problem."

   "Can you give me some blood from the prey?"

   "Blood? What do you want that thing for." Chu Guang asked.

   Gale explained.

   "I want to verify some conjectures and need to use them."

  Chu Guang didn't think much of it. Holding a short knife, he chopped off a front leg from the mutant hyena in front of him and threw it into Gu Feng's hand.

"take it."

   "Thank you!"

  After the strong wind thanked him, he left mysteriously.

  Chu Guang was curious, but didn't ask much.

  Around the evening, the players all returned to the sanatorium one by one. From the expression on Lao Bai's face, he knew that today's harvest was definitely not small.

  Chu Guang wanted to inquire, but before he could ask, Lao Bai couldn't wait to speak.

   "Dear Manager, under your wise guidance, the cement kiln at the outpost has been basically completed. When the cement is air-dried tomorrow, we can start trial firing the first batch of cement!"

"very good."

  Chu Guang nodded in approval and encouraged.

   "Thanks to you, we are one step closer to the great goal of reviving the People's Federation! I hope you will continue to work hard, and the organization will remember your credit."

  Chu Guang felt that he was getting more and more skilled at drawing cakes.

   But the players don't seem to care whether he is drawing cakes or not, and it seems that they have explored new pleasures from the labor of rebuilding their homes.

   To put it bluntly, isn’t that what sandbox games are like?

   Watching your home get better is part of the fun. It is a lucky thing to be able to experience this epoch-making immersive virtual reality technology first.

  Chu Guang is of course happy that these players can enjoy it.

   Refuge is so poor right now that he really can’t give them any substantial rewards, so he can only draw cakes and give out some air coins first.

  …

   After going offline.

   There was another lively scene in the Bull and Horse Club.

   Recently, the routines of many night owls have changed.

  Led by brother "Quit Smoking", people who used to be blind at night now go to bed on time at ten o'clock in the evening and get up on time at five in the morning, just to see a few dogs and manage their "jobs".

  Ye Ten: [Mutants! New forces update! Managers encounter a mutant colony on 76th Street! To confirm that mutants are hostile forces! 】

   Ye Shi, who was the first to go offline, couldn't wait to bubble up first, igniting the gossip enthusiasm of the group friends.

【Mutant? ! What does it look like? 】

  【Why hasn’t the official website been updated yet? 】

  【Cow batch! There are hostile forces, and the internal test should be coming soon! 】

  【Grass, I really want to play! 】

   A series of news was blown up.

  Ye Shi continued typing.

  【I don't know what it looks like, and I haven't seen it either! But don't panic, the official website will definitely update the information about mutants, and I am also waiting for news here! 】

   Quit smoking: [What about the other three? Why are you the only one online today? 】

  Ye Ten: [I don't know! The old man seems to have gone to study cement. Gu Feng should have a class in the morning, Fang Chang didn't know, this guy has always been quite mysterious. 】

   (Girl Public Enemy Ye was banned for 1 hour by the group owner ten times.)

  Old Bai: [Why are you telling me to try it out! (anger)】

  Leave someone under the knife: [Hahaha, it’s better to ban it! 】

  There are really mosquitoes in WC: [Excited... Wait two more days, and I will be able to participate in the test! 】

  Tomato scrambled eggs: [+1 (funny.jpg)]

  Quit Smoking: 【Grass! Ban these two show-off dogs too! So hateful! Obviously I made an appointment first! T.T]

  Master is so proud of me: [Hey, there's no way to save it, it's really hopeless. 】

   Even now, this old man named "Ye Ao Nai I He" still doesn't believe in the nonsense of "completely immersive virtual reality online games", let alone "100% real".

   He and his fans remain unwavering in their belief that this is a hoax by the dog managers working together.

   "Fang Chang in Japan" did not bubble up in the group today, but on the official website forum, updated today's trial experience——

   or the handwriting game live.

  【Today is the third day of the closed test, the charcoal kiln has provided us with a large amount of charcoal, and with the successful firing of grass ash cement, we built a larger cement kiln under the leadership of Lao Xi. If tomorrow's trial firing is successful, we will get more reliable building materials to build our homes. 】

  【I have to blow a wave of the production team. The experience this game brings to me is something that all games released on the market so far have never brought me. Especially when the cement kiln is completed, the sense of accomplishment that comes with it is simply irresistible and irresistible! 】

  【The content of the test today is not much, mainly to test the sandbox system of the game. 】

[However, it is worth noting that the manager revealed to us today that there is a tribe of mutants at the end of 76th Street, which has been identified as a hostile force. All players need to be careful to avoid it, but the manager has not disclosed more information about mutants. At present, the official website has not updated the photos of mutants, and perhaps the plot is not there yet. 】

  【If there is any new information, I will update it in the post as soon as possible, and please continue to pay attention to this post for the local friends who are looking forward to the public beta! 】

   "Tuyou" is the self-proclaimed name of the reserved players.

  Although there are only about 40 people now, but these people are all active - even avid users, and they have built dozens of floors of posts in a short time.

  Chu Guang silently peeked at the screen and did not participate in the players' discussion.

   But it’s still an old rule, he wrote down some good ideas, and some players with special ideas made a mark in the background.

If there is a new player recruitment plan, these highly loyal users will be given the highest priority, while those who prefer to raise the bar and jeer will be slowed down first, rather than letting them come in to make trouble, let them be online atmosphere groups Better.

   To put it bluntly, you are here to do something, why let you in?

   Just because your face size is not developed?

   In the current packaging and testing stage, the Wasteland OL is actually more like a private server, and it is also an acquaintance server managed by the authority dog, which will not give people the opportunity to do things. And by gradually increasing the reservation threshold, players who have game qualifications will also cherish the opportunity in their hands.

   As for the public beta phase, that's better to say.

  The public beta naturally has a public beta gameplay.

   When the time comes, we will directly encircle the land as a novice village. There is no certain rank or honorary title, and even his face will not be seen.

  Chu Guang found himself becoming more and more black-bellied.

When did    start?

never mind.

   It doesn't make sense to think about such a thing.

   Turned off the computer, Chu Guang turned on the system, and confirmed the rewards of today's daily tasks.

  【Task: Cut down ten trees, reward: 1 reward point】

  【Mission: Kill a Xenomorph, Reward: 3 Reward Points】

   "There are a few tasks to complete today."

   only adds up to 4 points.

  Chu Guang struggled in his heart, but in the end he couldn't hold back. He opened the manager's allowance and threw all 4 reward points on the primary blind box.

  The alloy door opens.

   The conveyor belt rolls.

   Looking at the 4 lollipops lying at the end of the conveyor belt, Chu Guang almost couldn't hold back a cordial scolding from his mouth.

   However, at this moment, a line of translucent holographic pop-up windows suddenly appeared above one of the lollipops in the pale gold packaging.

   is like a label—

  【Enhanced·Chocolate Lollipop: Strength increase +10%, duration 10 hours. 】

  Chu Guang: "?"

What?
