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

That night.

  Chu Guang had a very long dream.

   Although he couldn't remember the specific content of the dream, the vague sense of sight told him that 80% of it was a bizarre nightmare.

seriously.

  Chu Guang sometimes felt that at least half of the reason why he was a little stubborn was related to those dreams.

  The dream is real to a certain extent, as if it really happened...

   "What is the way to die this time?"

   murmured, Chu Guang sat up from the bed.

   Eighty percent of the time, the hard work and exercise paid off.

Hard work pays off.

   He leveled up again.

  】

   Medical Laboratory.

   Chu Guang, who was lying on the scanning bed, looked at the attribute panel presented in front of him with a surprised expression on his face.

   Good guy.

   Actually added two points this time!

   I remember something similar happened before, but it was a long time ago.

   1 point of perception and 1 point of agility, which strengthens the intuition and reaction ability to crisis.

   As for the talent, it has not changed, it is still "Wild Instinct" and "Spiritual Deterrence".

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

  The latter is very useful during interrogation.

   In addition, in Chu Guang's impression, it seems that it is only the cutscenes when new players first enter the game, and they can have a chance to use them.

   Looking at the 17% progress bar, Chu Guang couldn't help but have a hint of anticipation in his heart.

   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."

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

   Forefinger and thumb pinched his chin, confusion was written on his white face.

   If it wasn't for the ramble, which made her look a little nervous, she should be a beauty with a childish face.

Pity.

   Add a mouthless attribute, and this SSSR card is perfect.

   "No way."

   "Gene expression should be a stable process. Even with manual intervention, it is difficult to make adjustments to the shape of the representation in such a short period of time."

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

   interrupted her thoughts, and Chu Guang went straight to the point.

   "Let's be honest, it's a good thing or a bad thing."

  Heya thought for a while and shook her head.

   "It's hard to define good or bad—"

understood.

   is a good thing.

  Chu Guang nodded.

   "Okay, I got it, you don't need to say it anymore."

   Seeing that Chu Guang was not interested in his own judgment, a helpless expression appeared on Heya's face, and she shrugged her shoulders.

"as long as you are happy."

  …

   West gate of the outpost.

  This is the shooting range of the guards, as well as the cell where the prisoners awaiting trial are held, and it is also the place where the adult manager keeps the death claw in captivity.

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

   Human breath?

Do not……

   also has a familiar taste.

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

   That was a lizard.

   This guy is wrapped in strange cloth and dressed like a human being. In addition, there is a large pot emitting a heat source on his back.

   Is there something cooking in it?

   It has never seen such a strange guy.

but……

too weak.

   It was only a little over two meters when he stood up, and his tail was not as long as his own. How did this little guy survive until now.

   His fist-sized nostrils let out a snort of "chi", and that slightly mocking greeting blew away a few pieces of hay.

  The thick and long tail changed direction to form a circle, and the death claw closed his eyes lacking interest and continued to doze off.

   The players standing at the door looked at each other.

   This reaction...

   is not quite what they planned.

   They originally thought that Garbage Jun and this guy could have a common language.

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

   Fang Chang: "I seem to understand."

   Gusty Wind: "I feel sorry for Brother Garbage."

   "Hey! You feel so bad for a ball of wool!" Picking up trash at level 99 said with tears and laughter, "I'll say it's useless, right? You still don't believe it!"

   This thing is not a bear!

   is the claw of death, brother!

   If you don't count the brood, this thing is one of the top xenomorphs of the food chain in the wasteland.

  Rational analysis, at least level 80!

   And myself, just reached 8...

   Mosquito, who joined in the fun, stroked his chin thoughtfully, his eyes filled with confusion.

   "Something's wrong, that's not what this **** looks like when he sees the manager."

  Old Bai nodded in agreement.

   "Yes, I've seen it once... This beast is much more honest."

   is more than honest.

   The way he was lying on the ground and shivering, he was almost scared to pee, right?

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

   Looking at the iron lumps that have nowhere to put their mouths and eat their teeth, all animals with a normal IQ will panic.

   Not to mention in the case of serious injuries.

   Mosquito looked at Jun Jun and continued with a suspicious expression.

   "Could it be that you are too weak?"

   Hearing this sentence, his nose was crooked when he was picking up garbage, and he cursed in his mouth.

   "You are so weak! You little old sixth, your level is not as high as mine!"

  WC really has mosquitoes: "Fuck off! I've already reached LV7, okay?"

   Picking up trash at level 99: "Hehe, Chi!"

  WC really has mosquitoes: "%￥#@!"

   The two quarreled.

  The crowd of cattle and horses has long been accustomed to this, so it does not take it seriously at all.

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

"There are two possibilities now. One is that the reproductive function of the xenogeneic player is defective, resulting in inconspicuous secondary sexual characteristics. The other possibility is that Ye Shi said that your current level is too low, and it seems too much to this dead claw. Weak, like the cubs in its population."

   Gale: "...It seems that the method of seducing Deathclaw with Junkman is useless?"

   Ye Shi suddenly had an idea and said with a big brain.

   "Could it be because there is none?"

   "Shall we give it a fake try?"

   The air is delicately quiet.

   Everyone was stunned there.

  Old Bai: "What the hell?"

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

   Fang Chang: "Hey, you little genius."

   Level 99 Picking Up Trash: "Fuck!!!"

  While the little players in the group of cattle and horses were experimenting with Jun Jun, Chu Guang, who was standing on the third floor of the sanatorium, was watching from a distance.

  From a genetic point of view, Junk Jun's DNA does have many similarities with Death Claw. It can even be said that in addition to the brain structure similar to human, other parts of the body are designed with Death Claw as a blueprint.

   or at least from the same source.

   But unfortunately...

   That mother death claw doesn't seem to be interested in Junkman, and doesn't even bother to look at him.

"Pity."

   "It seems that Trash Jun's charm is not enough to conquer that death claw."

   Is it because it is too small?

  Chu Guang touched his chin and fell into contemplation.

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

  Compared to other mutant mice in the wasteland, the big mouse was obviously much bigger than them.

  If you can tame a few or even broods of mice...

  Chu Guang's eyes lit up instantly.

   "Fuck!"

   "Could it be that this series of panel data looks very weak, but it's really awesome?!"

  Thinking of this, Chu Guang couldn't sit still, and immediately opened the VM, edited a task, and sent it to the [strongman is difficult] brother.

  【Mission: King of Mice】

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

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

   As for the reward.

   In addition to silver coins and contribution points, it should not be too much to give a special achievement.

   As for the name of the achievement, Chu Guang has not thought about it 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.

  …

   The town of Yuanxi, located on the edge of the forest, is as peaceful as ever today.

   Standing next to a barricade of wood, a predator with a "Blade" assault rifle dangling from his chest, yawned.

   This shift from midnight to morning is the hardest.

   is not only 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?" said the looter with a dog leash in his hand, bored.

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

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

"I can not wait any more."

   "Hahaha, coincidentally, me too!"

  The two looked at each other, and invariably revealed that everyone knows how to smile.

   Not even just people.

   Even the hyena lying beside the two of them gasped in excitement.

  About yesterday, they heard that the people from the Black Snake had set out from the southern suburbs of TS City and marched south to the northern suburbs of Qingquan City.

   That guy is a ruthless man.

  The battle from north to south can be said to be a series of victories. The burned survivor settlements cannot be counted with one hand, and the treasures looted are 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 were too unscrupulous.

   Don't wait until they arrive in the northern suburbs, they won't even be able to drink the broth.

   That is really uncomfortable!

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

  The two looters were immediately alert, hurriedly loaded the guns in their hands and opened the safety, and pointed at the group of people who came from a distance.

   "Stop! Stop there and don't move!"

   "Who are you?"

   The group stopped.

   The man at the front of the line shouted at a loud voice.

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

   The man with the black snake?

   Centurion?

   Hearing this sentence, the two predators were stunned.

Isn't    the black snake in the south?

  How could his people appear here?

  Is it…

   Already finished?

   Realizing that the situation might not be right, the two did not dare to delay, and immediately separated one of them and ran to the camp.

   After a while, the plunderer who went back to report the news trotted back.

   "Who are you steel teeth."

   "Lord Liontooth said he wants to see you!"

   The man who shouted earlier stood up and said.

   "I am, take me there."

  The predator nodded quickly.

   "Please come with me!"

   Passing through the heavily fortified camp, Steel Fang followed in the footsteps of the Marauder Sentinel and came to Lion Fang's tent.

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

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

   "...You are Steel Teeth?"

The   Tooth clan is very large.

   There are at least ten people called Steel Teeth.

   He had never seen this clan before, he only felt that his tattered attire really looked like a scavenger, not like a direct clan of the Bone-biting Tribe.

   "I am, my lord."

   Steel Tooth knelt on one knee on the ground, his forehead lowered slightly.

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

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

   A bitter expression appeared on Gangto's face.

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

   "We had to move westward, fight and retreat, into the woods. After some fighting, we both dropped hundreds of corpses..."

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

   Everyone in the camp held their breath in unison, and their faces were full of disbelief and surprise.

   Except for one person.

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

   Bernie stared at Steel Teeth, who was kneeling on one knee, and asked aggressively.

   "Also, how many people ambushed you?"

   It can tilt hundreds of shells in a short period of time, at least ten cannons.

   Even if he was killed, he wouldn't believe that ten cannons could be built in a settlement of ruined survivors in the northern suburbs!

   And what use are those earthen shells on the Legion's No. 10 tank? If it is a high-explosive bomb, even a layer of skin can't be scraped off!

   "It's true, my lord, if I say half a word, you can chop off my head."

   Steel teeth lowered his head and whispered Nuonuo.

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

  Lionfang and Bernie's expressions changed.

   Four Thousand Teams!

  Why are there so many people?

   Lion Fang said angrily.

   "Are you kidding? There are 4,000 people in the entire northern suburbs?"

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

   In the entire northern suburbs, there are no rich survivors' settlements, but small villages with a size of a hundred people.

   The larger survivor settlements have to go further south, deep into the crisis-ridden urban area, until you reach the edge of the Third Ring Road.

   These intelligences were mastered long before they came here!

   "...If what he said is true, I'm afraid it was someone from Boulder City who shot it."

   Bernie continued with a heavy expression.

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

  Lionfang swallowed, with a rare look of bewilderment on his face, and looked at his staff.

"what should we do?"

   A bitter smile appeared on Bernie's face.

   "What? I don't know."

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

  Lionfang fell silent, his fingers clasped tightly on the armrest of the chair.

   A thousand-man team!

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

   Whether it is equipment or combat experience, the followers of the Black Snake are all elites.

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

no doubt.

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

   Bernie, who was standing beside him, 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... Shift the strategy to Xizhou City."

"You mean retreat?" Liontooth said angrily. "We've been preparing here all winter! We're leaving without a fight. What do you want the rest of the clan to think of us! They'll laugh at us and think we're coward!"

  The looters who believe in killing and war respect the strong.

  Bone-chewing tribe even more so.

  The weak are not worthy of the spoils, it is not only about his reputation in the clan, but also about his prestige in the eyes of his subordinates.

   Guessing what Liontooth would say, Bernie sighed and continued.

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

   "You also heard that they have four thousand troops and more than ten artillery pieces. Our current strength is simply not enough to gnaw this hard bone."

   "We need more manpower and equipment, otherwise we will just repeat the mistakes of the black snakes."

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

  Lionfang fell silent.

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

   is just unwilling to accept it.

   "Withdraw..."

   When uttering this word, Lion Fang felt the strength of his whole body, as if he had been evacuated.

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

   The result was such a humiliating ending.

   He swears.

   When his iron hoofs step into this place again, he must kill the people here!

   Bernie, who was standing beside him, breathed a sigh of relief.

   Although the previous remarks were alarmist, it was obvious that if even the Black Snake was defeated, he couldn't think of any reason for him to win.

   nodded slightly, he said softly.

"Wise choice."
