Chapter 289 The fierce battle in the jungle

   Green covered every street and every tall building.

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

  It is unimaginable that this place used to be a bustling city.

  The virgin forest and the city seem to be integrated together. Although many urban areas in Qingquan City are like this, they are 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 that human modeling technology can achieve?

   couldn't help taking a picture with the ear-mounted camera. While being shocked by the scene in front of him, Fang Chang's eyes couldn't help but have a trace of solemnity.

   How are they going to get there?

   The group is only the last kilometer away from the mission location.

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

"Look at the background information... This is one of the core business districts in the eastern district of Qingquan City. The dome right in front of us is the goal of our trip." Standing beside Fang Chang, Lao Bai wearing a light cavalry exoskeleton , said against the map before the war.

   Quit smoking and asked curiously.

   "What's there?"

   Gale: "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 had previously discovered at the Zhongzhou Aerospace Experiment Base, 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 is definitely higher than the former.

   But in scale, the latter is much larger.

   Ye Shi said with a subtle 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 Gu Feng who was standing beside him.

   "Time to work."

  Work, of course, refers to the hidden tasks of the scientific research team.

   is not actually a hidden quest, but because the quest has a high level of occupational requirements, only they currently meet the criteria for accepting the quest.

   As for the reward of the task, it is also quite rich. If you can lock the specific location of Vault 401 and successfully control the area, you will be able to get a total of 5,000 silver rewards!

   Of course, this is the most optimistic scenario.

  Because the information in the area is blank, and the clues about Vault 401, the scientific research team only analyzed that it may be located below the zoo or a nearby subway station.

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

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

   He is also the man who "killed" Death Claw for the first time.

  Although Deathclaw has been crippled by the concentrated fire of the Marauders...

The   rope was thrown from the half-collapsed building.

  Old 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 a heavy KV-1 with a hatchet in his hand, led the way, followed by Lao Bai who had already opened the LD-47's insurance. As a perception system, Ye Shi walked in the center of the team, followed by his hand. The square length of the "break of dawn" compound bow.

  The gust of wind released the Y-1 Firefly quadrotor drone, and set the following path with the tablet, allowing it to maintain a certain flying height to follow.

   The group went deep into the jungle.

   Boots stomped on wet concrete debris, the soles creaked, and the rushing moisture was mixed with the rustling of trees and insects.

   Everyone's nerves are high - or excited.

  The rustling voice 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 python hanging on a tree branch startled everyone.

  The python was as thick as a tree trunk, and silver climbed from the crevices of its mouth to the corners of its eyes, resembling the smiling face of a clown.

  It was probably sleeping when it was coiled on a tree branch, and Ye Shi did not perceive its existence until he opened his eyes and looked over, and quickly reminded everyone.

   "Good stuff, it just happened to be used to make wine!" With a knife, he removed the snake's head, quit smoking and happily picked up the python, put it into the backpack behind the KV-1, and blood was everywhere.

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

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

   Quit smoking and laughed.

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

   Fang Chang asked curiously.

   "Does this thing work?"

   Gusty Wind: "A rational analysis, alcohol will cause protein denaturation and inactivation, the only use of snake wine... is that it is useless."

   Lao Bai coughed dryly.

   "Okay, this topic is inconclusive... We move on."

  Recycling materials is also part of fighting monsters.

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

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

   It’s just that the distance from Dawn City is too far, and it’s not worth wasting time on prey compared to the high-yield tasks they are performing.

   The bull and horse team moved on.

  After passing through a large undulating jungle and building gaps, the group finally arrived near the "dome" covered with moss.

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

   There were several corpses lying next to the iron fence at the security checkpoint, and everyone was instantly alert.

   Lao Bai and Fang Chang next to him gestured to him to cover himself, then pointed to the earphones, then lowered his body and held the rifle, and approached carefully.

   The chests and heads of several corpses have scars from blunt blows and marks penetrated by sharp objects, which are obviously not left by beasts.

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

   Or maybe twenty years.

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

   "These people were eaten by wild animals after they died, and there were many bite marks on their bones... But the fatal wound was a bow and arrow."

   Hearing the voice from the communication channel, Fang Chang frowned slightly in the direction of Lao Bai.

   "Bow and arrow?"

   "Well...I didn't see bullet marks here," Lao Bai looked around, suddenly frowned, and reached out to pick 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 dim, but through the dappled light, you can still clearly see the outline of a triangular base and a flame.

   Torch?

   Old Bai's face showed a hint of surprise.

   That was several versions ago. At that time, the sanctuary had just defeated the Bone-biting tribe, and the NPC store listed 37 "torch" mind interferometers that were robbed from the black snake. The function was to use brain waves to direct alien species.

  Although some intelligence players have developed the pet flow gameplay, there are too few intelligence players in the combat profession, and most of the intelligence players follow the life career route, so this gameplay has no sense of existence.

   I remember correctly...

   This should be the logo of the Torch Church.

  Why is it here?

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

   clang clang!

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

"Grass!"

   Old Bai, who was attacked by a sneak attack, was stunned, raised the muzzle without hesitation, and pulled the trigger in the direction of the arrow.

   chu chu ---!

  Bullets shuttled through the densely forested streets.

  A large piece of sawdust splashed in the dark shadow, and there were two shrill screams in the shadow, and something soon fell from the tree.

   At the same time, Fang Chang and Ye Shishi pedestrians also noticed the situation on Lao Bai's side for the first time, and they set up their rifles and opened fire to cover Lao Bai who was attacked.

   "Old Bai! What's the situation on your side?" Fang Chang said quickly.

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

   Gu Feng with his eyes tightly closed shook his head and opened his eyes.

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

   There were a few more swooshing sounds, and arrows kept shooting out of the shadows, chasing in the direction of Old Bai. And at this moment, a combustion bottle was thrown out, and the flames instantly burst into the chaos.

"Oh shit!"

   Encountered by the enemy on three sides, Lao Bai scolded secretly, and while firing back, 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 poor!

   And the other party is hiding in the dark.

   Nothing to be afraid of if it’s just a bow and arrow.

   Although the light cavalry exoskeleton has excellent defensive performance, it is still no problem to block a shuttle of bullets, let alone a cold weapon.

   However, I was afraid that there would be other guys on the other side.

   Such as Molotov cocktails...

  Wasteland OL's hostile NPCs are so cunning, and it's not the first time for Lao Bai to experience it. In this game, even hyenas will detour around, looking for weak spots to attack, let alone people.

   "Fuck, why didn't I find them at all?!" Ye Shi clenched the Pu-9 submachine gun in his hand and stared at the densely forested street ahead.

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

   Gufeng said calmly: "Maybe the opponent's concealment attribute is too high, and the passive perception judgment failed. Haven't similar things happened before. Don't rely too much on the panel attribute... By the way, what about your killing intent perception?"

   Ye Shi frowned.

   "I feel it now! It's everywhere!"

   Gale: "..."

   Fang Chang made a decisive decision.

   "Old Bai, there are too many opponents! Pull back first!"

"it is good."

  Old Bai changed the magazine of the rifle and left from the cover.

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

  Fang Chang quickly shot an explosive arrow in the direction of the firelight. With a bang, the shards flew into the forest, and soon several black shadows fell from the tree.

   However, at the same time, flaming arrows shot out from the forest, like an airtight net, covering Old Bai and the team of cattle and horses standing behind him.

  The fire arrow did little damage, but it exposed their specifics.

   "Ow!!"

  There was a sound of apes in the jungle, and the shadows waving their long arms through the forest, their square pupils shrank slightly, and finally they could clearly see who attacked them.

Do not--

   Not a human being, to be precise.

   is a group of apes with a body length of less than 1.5 meters and their arms hanging down to their ankles!

  In their hands they not only held bows and arrows, but also short spears made of steel bars, hammers tied to concrete stones, and long and short knives they had picked up from somewhere.

  Ye Shi aimed at the nearby monkey and pulled the trigger, the submachine gun exploded in an instant, and in just one breath, four or five monkeys fell from the tree and hit the ground heavily.

   But soon, more apes emerged from the shadows, baring **** fangs, waving all kinds of strange cold weapons to encircle them.

monkey! ?

   quit smoking and fired with the muzzle of the gun, his face was full of disbelief.

   "Fuck! The monkeys in the Wasteland OL can still use tools?!"

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

   Gu Feng calmly carried his rifle and shot, killing the apes chasing Lao Bai one by one, covering Lao Bai and retreating to their surroundings.

  The sound of gunfire continued in the forest.

  The flickering gunfire pushed back the siege of the monkey group again and again.

  After paying huge casualties, the apes seemed to finally realize that this group of people was not easy to mess with, and the rhythm of the 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 the monkeys near a collapsed commercial plaza.

   "I thought it was strange just now, why are there no gnaws here... Dare a group of monkeys occupied this place!"

   Sitting 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 the low possibility of encountering large-scale battles, they only carried the amount of ammunition required for conventional battles based on experience.

   If it was just a group of monkeys, it would not be scary, but the key point is that this group of monkeys not only can use tools, but also are familiar with the terrain, not even afraid of death, and suspected of having mutated.

   This situation is a bit tricky!

   Fang Chang: "Should call the trash man up."

   put the drone back in his backpack, Gu Feng adjusted his breathing and looked at Lao Bai.

   "Do you want to continue?"

   "...There are too many opponents, and we don't have enough manpower. Let's retreat today." Old Bai looked at the iron plate with the torch in his hand.

  Although the goal was not achieved, this operation is not considered a failure.

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

   And also found an interesting piece of information.

   Fang Chang sighed with regret.

   "If only I could catch one...even if it was dead."

   At this moment, quitting smoking, who had not spoken, suddenly raised his hand weakly.

   "You mean...this?"

   A pair of eyes looked over, only to see this guy's backpack open, holding a dead ape in his hand.

   The Bull and Horse Squad 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 potato with two small mung beans inlaid on it. The most prominent feature of the hideous face is the teeth, which are not only shocking, but the two fangs are even turned out of the lips.

   The most special thing is that although this monkey has black hair all over the body, but there is no long hair on the back, but a layer of black scales, which climbs from the neck to the base of the tail.

  Yaju said in surprise.

   "Fuck! It's okay, brother, when did you pick it up?"

   quit smoking and smiled embarrassedly.

   "When I was retreating, I happened to stab one to death with a hatchet. I felt 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 easy to do! You have made a great contribution!"

   Quit smoking: "Hey hey."

   Fang Chang walked over, took the ape from his quit smoking hand, slashed its back with a dagger, and found that it was not cut, and a surprised expression appeared on his face.

   "This thing is cut-resistant?"

   Gust rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

   After a long time, he gave a comment.

   "It should be good for gloves."

   At the same time, on the edge of the dome-shaped building covered with vines, on a tower made of wooden boards and steel bars, stood a man wearing an animal skin coat.

   His face was covered with dark green silt, he was holding a telescope made of drilled human bones, and around his neck was a circle of camouflage rattan.

The monkeys around    were in awe of him... or rather scared, as if there was something in him that terrified them.

   Watching the group of uninvited guests disappear from sight, he scolded, drove away the monkeys who were at his feet, and put away the telescope.

   "This bunch of trash!"

  Two sets of exoskeletons!

   And the guns in those wastelanders!

   It looks like a good thing!

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

   What a pity we didn't leave that group behind!

  …

  [New information in the east area of ​​Qingquan City: The east area of ​​Qingquan City is a virgin forest, and for some reason the vegetation there is much denser than other areas. 】

  [Additional information from Vault 401: The Torch Church is suspected to be associated with it. 】

   With the return of the Niu Ma team, the database on the official website has also been updated with the information they collected in the East District of Qingquan City.

   New map!

   There are also new Xenomorphs!

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

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

  Siss: "The number of magical animals that you can't understand has increased."

  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, tell me my opinion. Vault 401 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 packaging and testing qualifications!"

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

  Professor Yang, King of Thunder and Lightning: "Fuck you, big bosses, come on! Hurry up! Our happiness depends on you! T.T"

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

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

Old Bai: "The scientific research team has increased the mission income based on the information we recovered. We plan to organize another wave of strategy plans, but there are too many alien species in the local activities. 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: "Me, me, old white brother, take me! I'm also a member of the Burning Corps! (excited

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

  I am the darkest: "Damn it, that thing can still be repaired?! Isn't it all fried to slag!"

  …

   Vault 404.

  Administrator's Office.

   While the players on the forum were chatting, Chu Guang looked at the iron card with the torch in his hand, and fell into deep thought.

   "Vault 401 opened fifty years ago?"

  Yin Fang, who was standing aside, nodded.

   "According to the information we have gathered, it is true."

  Chu Guang continued.

   "The Torch left Vault 117 twenty years ago...that means they were already targeting 401 by then."

   "What the **** is there?"

If I remember correctly, the black box stored in Vault 117 is mainly for the production of bionic organs, and it should not contain the so-called "mind controller", and Heya, who has been awakened from dormancy for 20 years, has never heard of and that thing. related things.

   Obviously, the alien control technology possessed by the Torch Church, which dominates the southern coast of death, was not brought out of Vault 117, but recovered from other refuge facilities.

   And this place is probably Vault 401.

   The treasure chest that was finally discovered was likely to have been preempted twenty years ago, which was not good news for Chu Guang.

Yin Fang changed his posture and hugged his arms, and said helplessly: "The three-digit refuge is already a secret, and it is impossible to find out the public information, not to mention that after two centuries, I can only use some indirect information. Clues pinpoint its approximate location."

   After a pause, Yin Fang continued.

   "However, when I investigated the third ecological protection park in Qingquan City, I found some interesting things."

  Chu Guang: "What's the matter?"

"Of the twenty biology professors who received admission tickets to Refuge 401, seventeen of them have held academic lectures in the ecological protection park. Although the originals of those papers have not been found, it can be confirmed from the ticket information that these The high frequency of the lectures also mentioned something called 'resonance theory'."

  Chu Guang frowned: "Resonance theory?"

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

"Don't look at me like that, it's my first time to do archaeology in River Valley Province, and I've never heard of these inexplicable things before. But the good news is, at least we can be sure now that Vault 401 is in that ecosystem. near the reserve."

  Chu Guang thought for a moment.

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

  Yin Fang shrugged: "That's what I suggested too. Anyway, we've already confirmed that there is something there. Can you send your people over there to take a look?"

   Just a bunch of monkeys.

   Can it still be turned upside down?

   Even Tide is no match for this group of blue jackets. Yin Fang has no doubts that it is only a matter of time for them to clear a group of beasts.

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

   "Please come in."

  The door opened.

   The person who came in was Heya.

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

   "Did something good happen?"

   didn't sell anything, Heya said with a bright face.

   "About the inducible expression serum you asked me to study earlier."

   "The result is out!"
