Chapter 289 Fierce battle in the jungle

  Green covered every street and every tall building.

  Dense vines and tree roots criss-cross, buildings are crumbling, and concrete walls are covered with cracks and moss.

   It is hard to imagine that this was once a bustling urban area.

  The primeval forest and the city seem to be integrated together. Although this is the case in many urban areas in Qingquan City, it is far less shocking than here.

   Looking around, every frame is like a world famous painting! Every shot is like a work of art!

   Is this the height of human modeling technology?

   Can't help but use the ear-mounted camera to take a picture. While being shocked by the scene in front of him, Fang Chang's eyes can't help showing a trace of solemnity.

  How do they get there?

   The group is only one kilometer away from the mission site.

  However, this short one kilometer, placed in front of the ups and downs of the ruins, seems so far away.

"Look at the background information... This is one of the core business districts in the east district of Qingquan City. The giant egg directly in front of us is the goal of our trip." Standing beside Fang Chang, Lao Bai, wearing a light cavalry exoskeleton, Referring to the pre-war map, he said.

   Quit smoking and asked curiously.

   "What's there?"

  Gust: "The Zoo."

  The full name is "The Third Ecological Protection Park of Qingquan City". The structure of the entire facility is similar to the artificial biosphere they discovered at the Zhongzhou Aerospace Experimental Base before, but the purpose of use is different.

  One is to provide research support for outer space colonization, and the other is to watch and play for the surrounding citizens.

   The technical content must be higher than the former.

  But in terms of scale, the latter is much larger.

  Ye Shi said with a delicate expression: "...I suddenly have an ominous premonition."

   "Me too, be vigilant and prepare for battle," Lao Bai turned off the display screen on his arm, took off the rope made of nylon fiber from his waist, and threw it to a bundle of wind standing beside him.

   "Time to work."

  Working, naturally refers to the hidden mission of the scientific expedition team.

  In fact, it is not considered a hidden mission, but because the mission requires a higher level of occupation, currently only they meet the criteria for accepting the mission.

   As for the mission rewards, they are also quite generous. If you can lock the specific location of Shelter 401 and successfully control this area, you will be able to get a total of 5,000 silver coins as rewards!

   Of course, this is the most optimistic scenario.

  Because the information in this area is blank, and regarding the clues of shelter No. 401, the scientific expedition team only analyzed that it may be located under the zoo or a nearby subway station.

  If you use the VM to scan the map and find that Vault 401 does not exist at all, or you have to retreat when you encounter dangers that are difficult to deal with such as death claws, you can only get intelligence rewards.

  But Lao Bai felt that this was not a big problem for them.

  He was also the man who "killed" Death Claw first.

  Although it was under the circumstances that Deathclaw had been crippled by the large army of predators...

  The rope was thrown from the half-collapsed tall building.

  Lao Bai skillfully descended to the **** below. After confirming the safety below, the other four members of the team also descended to the surface through ropes one after another.

Quit smoking wearing heavy KV-1, holding a hatchet and walking in the front to open the way, followed by Laobai who has already opened the insurance of LD-47, Ye Shi, who is a perception department, walks in the middle of the line, and then the hand The square length for holding the "Dawn" compound bow.

  Gust released the Y-1 Firefly quadrotor UAV, set the following path with a tablet, and let it maintain a certain flying height to follow.

   A group of people went deep into the jungle.

  Boots stepped on the wet concrete debris, the soles made a creaking sound, and the rushing moisture was mixed with the rustling of the woods and the sound of insects.

  Everyone's nerves are on high alert—or excitement.

  The rustling sound always made them feel that something was spying on them in the dark, waiting for an opportunity.

   But there were no dangers along the way.

  In addition to encountering a few hyenas wandering for food, a boa constrictor hanging from a tree branch surprised everyone.

  The boa constrictor was as thick as a tree trunk, and the silver color climbed from the mouth to the corners of the eyes, resembling a clown's smiling face.

   It was coiled on the branch of a tree, probably sleeping. Ye Shi didn't realize its existence until he opened his eyes and looked over, and quickly reminded everyone.

   "It's a good thing, just use it to make wine!" With a knife stacked to the snake's head, Quit happily picked up the python and put it into the backpack behind KV-1, making blood everywhere.

  Smelling the smell of blood, Ye Shi took a step aside in disgust.

   "Hey, why are you just like Lao Na?"

  Quit smoking hehe said with a smile.

   "There is still a difference between a snake and a worm, can this be the same?"

  Fang Chang asked curiously.

   "Does this stuff work?"

  Guangfeng: "A wave of rational analysis, alcohol can cause protein denaturation and inactivation, the only use of snake wine... is that it is useless."

  Old Bai coughed dryly.

   "Okay, this topic is dead of debate...we moved on."

   Recycling materials is also part of fighting monsters.

   Some prey can also be exchanged for money and contributions from the Hunter Union or warehouse.

  For example, the three hyenas that Fang Chang shot to death.

   It's just that it's too far away from Dawn City. Compared with the high-yield mission they are performing, it is not worthwhile to waste time on prey.

  The cattle and horse team continued to move forward.

  After passing through a large undulating dense forest and building gaps, the group finally arrived near the moss-covered "giant egg".

  The streets here are finally relatively spacious, and a collapsed high-rise is right between the zoo and the subway station.

  There were several corpses lying beside the iron fence at the security checkpoint, and everyone became alert for a moment.

  Old Bai made a gesture with Fang Chang next to him, signaling him to cover himself, then pointed to the earphones, then lowered his body and held his rifle, and approached carefully.

  The chests and heads of several corpses had scars from blunt force blows and traces of being pierced by sharp objects, which were obviously not left by wild animals.

   "Judging from the traces of corruption... it should be within ten years."

   It could also be twenty years.

  He is not a professional doctor, he only knows some simple first aid measures such as hemostasis, bandaging, suturing, etc.

   "After these people died, they were eaten by wild beasts, and there were many bite marks on the bones...but the fatal injury was the bow and arrow."

  Listening to the voice from the communication channel, Fang Chang looked in the direction of Lao Bai and frowned slightly.

   "A bow and arrow?"

   "Well... I didn't see bullet marks here," Lao Bai searched around, and suddenly frowned. He reached out and picked up a rusty iron plate that was half buried in the soil, "What is this?"

  The vegetation is dense, and the light here is very dark, but with the mottled light, you can still clearly see the outline of a triangular base and flames drawn on it.

  torch?

  A look of surprise appeared on Lao Bai's face.

   That was a few versions ago. At that time, the refuge had just defeated the Bonechewer tribe. The NPC store put 37 "torch" psychic interferometers snatched from the black snake on the shelves. The function is to use brain waves to command alien species.

  Although there are some intelligence players who have developed pet-style gameplay, there are too few intelligence players in combat professions, and most intelligence players follow the life career route, so this gameplay has never had a sense of existence.

   I remember correctly...

   This should be the symbol of the Torch Church.

  But why does it appear here?

   Just when Lao Bai was confused, two whizzing sounds suddenly came from one side, and two arrows went straight to his chest and head.

  Dangdang!

  Although the arrow was as fast as lightning, it only left a shallow scratch when it hit the polymer bulletproof plate and helmet of the Type 5 "Light Cavalry".

"Grass!"

   Lao Bai, who was attacked by a sneak attack, was shocked all over his body. He raised the muzzle of his gun without hesitation, and pulled the trigger in the direction of the bow and arrow.

   chug chug—!

   Bullets shuttle through the densely forested streets.

  Large pieces of sawdust splashed in the dark shadows, and there were two shrill screams from the shadows, and soon something fell from the tree.

  At the same time, Fang Chang and Ye Shiyi's group also noticed the situation on Lao Bai's side for the first time, and they all set up their rifles and fired to cover Lao Bai who was attacked.

   "Old Bai! What's the situation with you?" Fang Chang said quickly.

   "I don't know! I didn't see what it was...but I should have knocked down two. Can you see it over there, Gust?"

  Guang Feng, who closed his eyes tightly, shook his head and opened his eyes.

   "The high-altitude vision is so poor that the drone can't see anything."

   There were a few more whizzing sounds of piercing through the air, and arrows shot out from the shadows continuously, chasing after Lao Bai. But at this moment, a Molotov cocktail was suddenly thrown out, and flames burst into flames in the chaos.

"Oh shit!"

  Faced by enemies from three sides, Lao Bai cursed secretly, while firing back fire, he quickly retreated more than ten meters, moved behind a collapsed concrete block, and leaned against the bunker to observe the surroundings vigilantly.

  The light here is very poor!

   And the other party is hiding in the dark.

  If it’s just a bow and arrow, there’s nothing to be afraid of.

  Although the light cavalry exoskeleton is known for its defensive performance, it is still no problem to block a shuttle bullet, let alone a cold weapon.

  However, I am afraid that there are other guys on the other side.

  Like Molotov cocktails...

   It is not the first time Lao Bai has learned how cunning the hostile NPCs in Wasteland OL are. In this game, even hyenas can outflank and find weak spots, let alone humans.

   "Damn it, why didn't I notice them at all?!" Ye Shi clenched the Pu-9 submachine gun in his hand, staring at the densely forested street ahead.

  The field of view here is narrow, and the sniper rifle is not useful at all.

  Guangfeng said calmly: "Maybe the other party's hidden attribute is too high, and the passive perception judgment failed. Didn't similar things happen before? Don't rely too much on the panel attribute...By the way, what about your killing intent perception?"

  Ye Shi frowned tightly.

   "Feel it now! Everywhere!"

  Gust: "..."

   Fang Chang made a decisive decision immediately.

   "Old Bai, there are too many opponents! Withdraw first!"

"good."

  Old Bai changed the magazine of the rifle and left the bunker.

   And at this moment, a few dots of fire suddenly lit up in the shadows under the dense forest.

  Fang Chang quickly shot a bursting arrow in the direction of the fire, and with a "bang", flying fragments entered the forest, and soon several black shadows fell from the trees.

  However, at the same time, flaming arrows shot out from the forest, like an airtight net, covering Lao Bai and the cattle and horse team standing behind to cover.

  The fire arrow did not do much damage, but it exposed their specificity.

   "Aww!"

  There was the sound of an ape in the jungle, and the black shadows waved their long arms and walked through the forest. The pupils of Fang Chang narrowed slightly, and they finally saw clearly who was attacking them.

No-

   Not human exactly.

   It's a group of apes who are no more than 1.5 meters long, with arms hanging down to their ankles!

  They held not only bows and arrows in their hands, but also short spears made of steel bars, hammers tied with concrete stones, and long and short knives picked up from nowhere.

  Ye Shi aimed at the ape that was rushing nearby and pulled the trigger. The submachine gun burst into fire instantly, and in just one breath, four or five monkeys fell from the tree and hit the ground heavily.

  However, soon, more apes emerged from the shadows, bared their **** fangs, and brandished all kinds of strange cold weapons to encircle them.

monkey! ?

  Smoking Quit raised his gun and fired, with disbelief written all over his face.

   "Damn it! Monkeys in Wasteland OL can still use tools?!"

   "Who knows, maybe someone taught them..."

  Guang Feng calmly raised his rifle and fired, killing the apes chasing Lao Bai one by one, covering Lao Bai and retreating to their surroundings.

   Gunshots continued in the forest.

  The flickering gun flames repelled the swarm of monkeys again and again.

  After suffering huge casualties, the apes seemed to finally realize that this group of people in front of them was not easy to mess with, and the pace of attack gradually slowed down.

   A group of people fought and retreated, and quickly withdrew from the streets near the zoo, and got rid of the pursuit of monkeys near a collapsed commercial square.

   "I just thought it was strange, why there are no eaters here... I dare say a group of monkeys have taken over here!"

   Sitting down on the concrete stone, Ye Shi took a deep breath and checked the ammunition of the submachine gun.

  There are two magazines left!

  Because it was a scientific expedition mission, considering that the possibility of encountering large-scale battles was very low, they only carried the amount of ammunition required for conventional battles based on experience.

   It wouldn’t be scary if it was just a group of monkeys, but the key point is that this group of monkeys not only knows how to use tools, but also is familiar with the terrain, and they are not even afraid of death, and they seem to have mutated.

   This situation is a bit tricky!

  Fang Chang: "You should call Junk Jun up."

  Put the drone back into the backpack, and while adjusting his breathing, Kuang Feng looked at Lao Bai.

   "Do you want to continue?"

   "...the opponent has too many people, and we don't have enough manpower. Let's retreat today." Lao Bai looked at the iron plate with the torch engraved in his hand.

  Although the goal was not achieved, this operation cannot be regarded as a failure.

  At least they figured out the situation near the mission objective.

   And also found an interesting piece of information.

  Fang Chang sighed, with a rather regretful expression.

   "It would be nice to catch one... even if it's dead."

   At this moment, Quit Smoking, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his hand weakly.

   "You mean... this?"

   Looking over with a pair of eyes, I saw that this guy's backpack was open, and he was holding a dead ape in his hand.

  The cattle and horse team finally got a close look at what the monster they had been fighting with for nearly half an hour looked like.

  This ape has very long arms, small eyes, and dark green pupils, like a crooked potato with two small mung beans on it. The most prominent part of the ferocious face was the teeth, not only were they shockingly long, but the two fangs were turned out of the lips.

  The most special thing is that although this monkey has black hair all over its body, it only has no hair on its back. Instead, it has a layer of black scales that crawl from the neck to the base of the tail.

  Ye Shi said in surprise.

   "Damn it! It's ok bro, when did you pick it up?"

  Smoking Quit Hey smiled embarrassedly.

   "When I was retreating, I just killed one with a hatchet. I thought it was a pity to throw it away, so I took it off and stuffed it in my backpack."

  Ye Shi couldn't help but praised: "You are so smooth! You have made great achievements!"

   Quit smoking: "Hey."

  Fang Chang walked over, took the ape from the hand of quitting smoking, and cut a knife on its back with a dagger, but found that it was not cut, and suddenly showed a surprised expression on his face.

   "Is this thing cut resistant?"

  Guangfeng stroked his chin thoughtfully.

   After a long time, I gave a comment.

   "Should be good for making gloves."

   At the same time, on the edge of the dome-shaped building covered with vines, on a tower made of wood and steel bars, was standing a man wearing a fur coat.

  His face was painted with dark green mud, he held a telescope made of human bone drilling in his hand, and a camouflage cane was wrapped around his neck.

  The surrounding monkeys were in awe of him...or rather afraid, as if there was something about him that frightened them.

  Watching the group of uninvited guests disappear from view, he cursed, chased away the monkeys who came to his feet, and put away the binoculars.

   "These trash!"

   Two sets of exoskeletons!

   And the guns in the hands of those wastelanders!

   It looks good at first glance!

  Thinking of this, a hint of greed appeared in his eyes.

   It's a pity not to keep that group of people!

  …

  【Added information on the East District of Qingquan City: The East District of Qingquan City is a virgin forest, and for some reason the vegetation there is much denser than other areas. 】

  【Additional information on Vault No. 401: The Church of the Torch is suspected to be related to it. 】

   With the return of the cattle and horse team, the database on the official website has also updated the information they collected in the East District of Qingquan City.

   New map!

   There are new variants!

  Many players are full of curiosity about that area that few people have set foot on.

  Tail: "Understood! The new map is the high-rise version of Yumu District! (o°ω°o

  Sisi: "The number of unintelligible magical animals has increased again."

  Irena: "Hey! Poison glands are all over the body, so scary? (Funny

  Elf King Fugui: "What do you want to do, I advise you not to think about it. (Funny

  Fang Chang: "About the new map, let me tell you my point of view. Vault 401 located in the East District may become the next novice village. The progress of this map will most likely directly affect the release speed of the test qualification!"

  Guangfeng: "Well, the test progress of this game follows the main story line. There is a limit to the capacity of the shelter. After reaching the capacity limit, the support of the People's Federation for the new alliance will also be suspended. This is also very true."

  Professor Yang, Thunder Dharma King: "Fuck, come on big guys! Hurry up! Our happiness depends entirely on you! T.T"

  Riding a donkey to the market: "+1, woo woo woo, I want to play too. QAQ"

  Fang Chang: "Everyone, don't worry, we are already doing our best to capture the new map!"

Lao Bai: "The scientific research team has raised the mission income based on the information we collected. We plan to organize another wave of strategy plans. However, there are too many alien species active in the local area. It may not be enough to rely on just a few of us. Do you have any good brothers? Together?"

   Picking up trash level 99: "I, me, brother Bai, take me! I am also a member of the Burning Legion! (excited

  WC really has mosquitoes: "Do you need air support? My plane has been repaired! You mark it with a signal flare, and just leave the rest to me. (squinting smile

  I am the darkest: "Fuck, that thing can still be repaired?! Isn't it all blown up!"

  Deadly: "Don't listen to his bragging, our prodigal boss has built a new one, but this time with a gyroscope and pitot, it should be able to land... (sigh

  Midnight Kill Chicken: "Hands up! The Jungle Corps applied for the battle! (Proud

   Piltover Paratrooper: "Partrooper One is ready!!"

  Xiaoxiao Xiaoxiao bookworm: "Hey, we are best at field battles. (smirk

  Old Bai: "Steady! It's up to you! (Show teeth

  …

  Vault 404.

   Administrator's Office.

  While the players on the forum were discussing in a hurry, Chu Guang looked at the iron plate with the torch painted in his hand, and fell into deep thought.

   "Vault 401 opened fifty years ago?"

  Yin Fang, who was standing aside, nodded.

   "According to the intelligence we have collected, it is indeed the case."

   Chu Guang continued.

   "The Torch left Vault 117 twenty years ago...which means they had their eye on 401 by then."

   "What the **** is in there?"

If I remember correctly, the black box stored in Vault 117 is mainly for the production of bionic organs, and should not contain the so-called "mind control device", and Heya, who has been dormant for 20 years and woke up, has never heard of it. related things.

  Obviously, the heterogeneous manipulation technology possessed by the Church of the Torch that dominates the Southern Coast of Death was not brought out from Vault 117, but recovered from other refuge facilities.

   And this place is probably Vault 401.

  The treasure chest that was finally found was likely to have been accessed 20 years ago, which is not good news for Chu Guang.

Yin Fang changed his posture and folded his arms, and said helplessly: "Three-digit refuges are already classified as secrets, and it is impossible to find out the public information, not to mention that after two centuries, I can only use some indirect methods." clues to its approximate location."

   After a pause, Yin Fang continued.

   "However, when I was investigating the Third Ecological Protection Park in Qingquan City, I discovered some interesting things."

  Chu Guang: "What is it?"

"Of the 20 biology professors who received admission tickets to Shelter 401, seventeen of them have given academic lectures in the ecological protection park. Although the original copies of those papers have not been found, it can be confirmed according to the ticket information that these At the same time, the lecture mentioned a thing called 'resonance theory' at a high frequency."

  Chu Guang frowned: "Resonance theory?"

   Facing someone's expectant eyes, Yin Fang said helplessly.

"Don't look at me like that. It's also my first time to do archeology in the River Valley Province. I haven't heard of these inexplicable things before. But the good news is that at least we can now confirm that the No. 401 refuge is located in that ecology. Near the protected area."

   Chu Guang pondered for a moment.

   "It seems that we can only go in and have a look."

  Yin Fang shrugged: "That's what I suggested too. Anyway, we have confirmed that there is something there, so why not just send your people over there to have a look?"

  Just a group of monkeys.

   Can it still turn the world upside down?

  Even Tide is no match for this group of blue coats. Yin Fang has no doubt that it is only a matter of time for them to clean up a group of beasts.

  At this time, footsteps came from outside the door, followed by a knock on the door.

   "Come in."

  The door is pushed open.

  The person who entered was Heya.

  Chu Guang raised his head and just saw the excited expression on her face, so he asked curiously.

   "Did something good happen?"

   It's not a secret, Heya said happily.

   "About the induced expression serum you asked me to study before."

   "The result is out!"

   (Thanks to the leader of "Rin Dong Little Pig Hot Pot City" for the reward!)
