Chapter 238 People can't, at least shouldn't

That night.

  Chu Guang had a long, long dream.

  Although he couldn't remember the specific content of the dream, the vague visual sense told him that it was probably some kind of bizarre nightmare.

honestly.

  Chu Guang sometimes feels that at least half of the reason why he is a bit lazy is related to those dreams.

  Dreams are real to a certain extent, as if they really happened...

   "What is the way to die this time?"

  Muttering something in his mouth, Chu Guang sat up from the bed.

  80% of the days of hard work and exercise have paid off.

Hard work pays off.

   He's leveled up again.

  ]

  Medical laboratory.

  Lying on the scanning bed, Chu Guang looked at the attribute panel in front of him, with a look of surprise on his face.

   Good guy.

   Actually added two points this time!

   I remember a similar situation before, but that was a long time ago.

  1 point of perception and 1 point of agility, which strengthens the intuition and response ability to crises.

   As for talents, they still haven't changed, they are still "wild instinct" and "mental deterrence".

  The former's full attribute improvement effect, combined with power armor and nitrogen power hammer, can deal tons of damage in a short time.

  The latter is very useful during interrogation.

  Besides, in Chu Guang's impression, it seems that new players can have a chance to use the cutscenes when they first enter the game.

  Looking at the 17% progress bar, Chu Guang couldn't help feeling a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

   It is only three levels away from the second awakening.

   I don't know what kind of talents will be unlocked in the third stage of the gene sequence.

   "Your DNA is unstable."

  Heya, standing next to the terminal, poured a basin of water on Chu Guang who was getting excited.

  Pinching his chin with his index finger and thumb, his fair face was full of confusion.

  If it wasn't for the babbling look that made her look a little nervous, she would be a beauty with white hair and childlike face.

Pity.

   Add the wordless attribute, and this SSSR card is perfect.

   "Arguably not."

   "The expression of genes should be a stable process. Even with human intervention, it is difficult to adjust the shape of the representation multiple times in such a short period of time."

   "And the most incredible thing is that these 'adjustments' happened in completely different directions!"

   Interrupting her thoughts, Chu Guang went straight to the point.

   "Let's just say, is it a good thing or a bad thing."

  Heya thought for a while, then shook her head.

   "It's hard to define good and bad—"

understood.

   is a good thing.

  Chu Guang nodded.

   "Okay, I understand, you don't need to say any more."

  Seeing that Chu Guang was not interested in his own judgment, Heya shrugged her shoulders with a helpless expression on her face.

"as long as you are happy."

  …

   The west gate of the outpost.

  This is the shooting range of the guards, and the cells where the prisoners awaiting trial are held, and it is also the place where the manager keeps Death Claws in captivity.

  Hearing footsteps outside the shed, Deathclaw curled up in the haystack, slightly rolled up his wrinkled eyelids.

  Human breath?

No…

   Also has a familiar taste.

  The amber pupils moved slightly, scanning around the people at the door, and finally stopped at a strange figure.

   That's a lizard.

  This guy is wrapped in a strange cloth and dressed like a human being. In addition, a cauldron emitting heat was also carried on his back.

  Is there something cooking in it?

   It's never seen such a strange guy.

but…

too weak.

   Standing up only a little over two meters, not as long as your own tail, how did this little guy survive until now.

  The fist-sized nostrils let out a snort of "嗤", and the slightly mocking greeting blew away a few pieces of dry grass.

  The thick and long tail changed direction to form a circle, and the Death Claw closed his eyes with little interest, and continued to doze off.

  The players standing at the door looked at each other.

   This response...

  It's different from what they planned.

  They originally thought that Mr. Garbage and this guy could share a common language.

  Ye Shi: "That expression just now..."

  Fang Chang: "I seem to understand."

  Guangfeng: "I feel sorry for Brother Garbage."

   "Gah! You feel bad for a ball of yarn!" Picking up trash level 99 said dumbfoundingly, "I just said it's useless? You still don't believe it!"

   This thing is not a bear!

  It's the claws of death, brother!

  If you don’t count the nonsense of the brood, this thing can be regarded as one of the alien species at the top of the food chain in the wasteland.

   Rational analysis, at least level 80!

   And myself, just reached 8...

  Following the other mosquitoes, they rubbed their chin thoughtfully, their eyes full of confusion.

   "It's not right, this beast doesn't look like this when it sees the manager."

  Old Bai nodded in agreement.

   "Yes, I saw it once... this beast is much more honest."

   More than honesty.

   That lying on the ground trembling, you almost pee out of fear, okay?

   Of course, it might be because of the power armor.

  Looking at that kind of iron bump that has nowhere to bite and has eaten its teeth, any animal with a normal IQ will panic.

   Not to mention in the case of serious injuries.

   Mosquito looked at Mr. Garbage, and continued with a suspicious expression.

   "Could it be that you are too weak?"

  Hearing this sentence, the 99th level of picking up garbage was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he cursed.

   "You are so weak! You are a little boy, and your level is not as high as mine!"

  WC really has mosquitoes: "Get out! I'm already LV7, okay?"

   Picking up garbage level 99: "Hehe, 嶸!"

  WC really has mosquitoes: "%￥#@!"

  The two quarreled.

   The people in the herd of cattle and horses have long been accustomed to this, so they don't take it seriously at all.

   Touching his chin and thinking for a moment, Fang Chang tried to analyze.

"Now there are two possibilities. One is that the reproductive function of the heterogeneous player is defective, which leads to the lack of obvious secondary sexual characteristics. The other possibility is what Ye Shi said, your current level is too low, and in the eyes of this Death Claw, you are too old. Weak, like the cubs of its pack."

  Guang Feng: "...It seems that the method of seducing Deathclaw with Jun Jun is useless?"

  Ye Shi suddenly had an idea, and said with an open mind.

   "Could it be because there isn't one?"

   "How about we give it a fake try?"

  The air is subtly quiet.

  Everyone froze there.

  Old Bai: "What the hell?"

  Gust: "People can't, at least they shouldn't..."

  Fang Chang: "Hiss, you little genius."

  Picking up trash level 99: "Get lost!!!"

   While the little players in the cows and horses were doing experiments with Mr. Garbage, Chu Guang, who was standing on the third floor of the nursing home, was also watching from a distance.

  From a genetic point of view, Junk Jun’s DNA does have many similarities with Deathclaw. It can even be said that apart from the brain structure being similar to that of a human, other parts of the body are designed based on Deathclaw.

   Or at least from the same source.

   Sadly however...

  The female Deathclaw didn't seem to be interested in Junk Jun, and didn't even bother to look at him.

"Pity."

   "It seems that Mr. Garbage's charm is not enough to conquer that deathclaw."

   Is it because it is too small?

  Chu Guang stroked his chin, lost in thought.

   Speak up. There also seems to be a mouse in his shelter?

  Compared to other mutated mice on the wasteland, that big mouse was obviously much bigger than them.

  If you can tame a few mice or even a few litters...

  Chu Guang's eyes lit up instantly.

   "Fuck!"

   "Maybe this panel data looks very weak sequence, but it is actually very powerful?!"

  Thinking of this, Chu Guang couldn't sit still. He immediately opened the VM, edited a task, and sent it to the brother 【Strong Man Can Difficult】.

  【Mission: King of Mice】

  【Explanation: Maybe we can try to unite creatures that are different from us. 】

  The name of this task is not simple at first glance, it should be fine to coax Xiaomengxin.

   As for rewards.

  In addition to silver coins and contribution points, it shouldn't be too much to give a special achievement.

   As for the name of the achievement, Chu Guang hasn't decided yet.

   I'm not in a hurry anyway.

  Whether this task can be completed is still unknown.

   It's not too late to wait for that little player to finish.

  …

  Located at the edge of the forest, Yuanxi Town is as quiet as ever today.

  Standing next to the barricade made of wood, the Marauder with the "Blade" assault rifle hanging on his chest, yawned.

  The shift from midnight to morning is the hardest.

   Not just sleepy, but also hungry.

  Will someone really attack at this time?

  At this point, except for those who are on guard who are sleepy, everyone else is a group of energetic people.

   "When will this snow melt?" The predator, holding a dog chain in his hand, said boredly.

   "I don't know, if you are in the north, you have to wait until early February."

   "Maybe a little less in the south, maybe next week? Or next week?"

"I can not wait any more."

   "Hahaha, coincidence, me too!"

  The two looked at each other, and they both smiled like everyone knows how to do it.

   Not even just people.

  Even the hyena lying next to the two of them bared their teeth and gasped excitedly.

  About yesterday, they heard that Black Snake's people had set off from the southern suburbs of TS City, marching southward to the northern suburbs of Qingquan City.

   That guy is a tough guy.

   Fighting all the way from the north to the south, it can be said that it was a series of victories. The survivors' settlements were burnt and they could not be counted with one hand, and the looted treasures were piled up into hills.

   Otherwise, the leader will not reward him with a tank.

   They only worry about one thing now.

   That is, the survivors in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City are too insensitive.

   Don't wait until they reach the northern suburbs, they can't even drink broth.

   That is really uncomfortable!

   Just as the two of them were chatting, a dark figure suddenly appeared at the edge of the forest on the east side.

  The two looters immediately became alert, and hurriedly loaded the guns in their hands and opened the safety, pointing at the group of people walking in the distance.

   "Stop! Stop there!"

   "Who are you guys?"

  The group of people stopped.

  The person walking at the front of the line shouted loudly.

   "We are the people of Black Snake...I am the Centurion Steel Fang under his command."

  The Black Snake?

  Centurion?

  Hearing this sentence, the two predators were stunned.

   Isn’t the black snake in the south?

  How did his people appear here?

  Could it be...

   Already finished playing?

   Realizing that the situation might be wrong, the two didn't dare to delay, and immediately separated one of them to run to the camp.

   Not long after, the looter who went back to report the news came trotting back again.

   "Which of you are steel teeth."

   "Lord Lion Tooth said, he wants to see you!"

  The man who shouted earlier stood up and said.

   "I am, take me there."

  The predator nodded quickly.

   "Follow me please!"

  Through the heavily fortified camp, Steel Fang followed in the footsteps of the marauder sentry and came to Lion Fang's camp.

   There was a brazier in the room, and a bearskin was spread on the ground.

  Sitting on the wooden chair, Lion Fang was staring intently at the man who walked in from the door.

   "...Are you a steel tooth?"

  The tooth clan is very large.

  There are at least ten people named Gang Ya.

  He had never seen this clansman before, and he only felt that his tattered attire really looked like a scavenger, not at all what the direct clan of the Bonechewing Tribe should look like.

   "I am, my lord."

   Gang Ya knelt on the ground with one knee, his forehead slightly lowered.

  Lion Fang looked down at him, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and said in a deep voice.

   "Since you are under the command of Black Snake, why didn't you follow him to conquer the northern suburbs of Qingquan City, but came to me instead."

  Gang Fang had a bitter expression on his face.

"Master Black Snake was ambushed by survivors from the northern suburbs at the intersection of the inter-provincial highway. We resisted desperately, but our enemies were huge in number... Gunshots came from all directions, and at least hundreds of shells fell on our position. "

   "We had to move westward, retreat while fighting, and escape into the woods. After some fighting, both of us left hundreds of corpses..."

   "Master Black Snake's whereabouts are unknown. The four centurions around him are almost completely wiped out, and the other five scattered around the centurions can't be contacted. We can only risk our lives through the woods and come to meet you."

  Everyone in the camp held their breath in unison, with disbelief and surprise written all over their faces.

   Except for one person.

   "Hundreds of shells?! Are you sure?!"

   Bernie fixed his eyes on Gang Fang who was kneeling on one knee, and asked aggressively.

   "Also, how many people ambushed you?"

   To be able to tilt hundreds of shells in a short period of time, at least ten guns are needed.

   Even if he was beaten to death, he would not believe that ten cannons could be built in a ruined survivor settlement in the northern suburbs!

  And what is the use of that kind of earthen shells against the Legion's No. 10 tank? If it is a high-explosive bomb, it can't even scrape off a layer of skin!

   "It is true, my lord, if I have half a lie, you can cut off my head."

  Gang Fang lowered his head and said in a low voice.

   "As for the number... I don't know, but according to the brothers who ran out from the front line, there are at least four thousand-man teams!"

  The expressions of Lion Tooth and Bernie changed at the same time.

  Four thousand-man teams!

  How come there are so many people?

   Lion Fang said angrily.

   "Are you kidding? There are four thousand people in the entire northern suburbs?"

  Even if you count all the elderly, women and children, you can’t make up so many people, right? !

  There are no wealthy survivor settlements in the entire northern suburbs, but small villages with hundreds of people.

  The slightly larger survivor settlement has to go further south, going deep into the dangerous urban area, until it enters the edge of the third ring.

   This information was already in their hands long before they came here!

  "...If what he said is true, I'm afraid it was the people from Boulder City who made the move."

   Bernie continued with a heavy expression.

   "I didn't expect their combat effectiveness to be so strong, far exceeding our expectations."

  Shiya swallowed, a rare bewildered expression appeared on his face, and he looked at his staff officer.

"what should we do?"

  Bernie had a bitter smile on his face.

   "How? I don't know."

   "If the Black Snake joins us, and the two thousand soldiers join together, there may be a slight chance of winning. But now, we have to bear all the risks alone."

  Lion Fang fell silent, clasping the armrest of the chair tightly with his ten fingers.

   A thousand-man team!

   There are armored pickups, there are tanks...even heavy artillery and support from the Torch.

  Whether it is equipment or combat experience, the troops under Black Snake are all elite.

  However, such an elite unit was wiped out in less than a day.

no doubt.

  Conquering the northern suburbs of Qingquan City is beyond his ability.

   Bernie, who was standing aside, glanced at the silent Lion Fang, and said in a low voice.

   "After the snow melts, maybe they will take the initiative to attack. My suggestion is... strategic transfer to Xizhou City."

"You mean to retreat?" Liontooth angrily said, "We've been preparing here all winter! If you leave without fighting a battle, what do you let the rest of the clan think of us! They will laugh at us and think we are coward!"

   Marauders who believe in killing and war respect the strong.

   Even more so with the Bonechewer Tribe.

  The weak do not deserve to enjoy the spoils. This is not only about his reputation in the clan, but also about his prestige in the eyes of his subordinates.

   Guessing what Lion Tooth would say, Bernie sighed in his heart and continued.

   "It's not that we haven't fought a single battle, and this is not a retreat. I prefer to call it a strategic shift... to preserve our strength for future victories and recharge our batteries."

   "As you have heard, they have four thousand troops and more than ten artillery pieces. With our current strength, it is simply not enough to crack this tough bone."

   "We need more manpower and equipment, otherwise we will only repeat the mistakes of the Black Snake."

   "If anyone thinks we are cowards, let them come, and we can exchange with them."

  Liontooth fell silent.

  How to choose, he actually already has the answer in his heart.

   I just don't want to accept it.

   "Withdraw..."

  When he uttered this word, Lion Fang felt the strength of his whole body, as if being emptied.

  He wasted two months or even three months here, and even broke a centurion.

  The result was such a humiliating ending.

   He swore.

   When his iron hooves step here again, he will definitely kill everyone here!

   Standing aside, Bernie breathed a sigh of relief.

  Although the previous remarks were alarmist, it is obvious that if even Black Snake loses the battle, he can't think of any reason for himself to win.

   Nodding slightly, he said softly.

"Wise choice."
