Chapter 39 finally has a new NPC?

   In fact, there is no choice at all.

  Xia Yan knew very well that with only one leg left, it would be difficult for him to even walk out of this street, let alone return to Boulder City.

   What's more, what if we go back?

Although she has been working as a mercenary for a long time, she basically didn't save any money. The better neuron-linked bionic prosthetics cost tens of thousands of chips, and the lesser mechanical transmission prosthetics cost thousands of points. point.

   This price has caught up with a chemically powered exoskeleton.

   Even if you sell her, you can't afford it.

  Either go with these people, or die here.

  The choice is actually not that difficult.

   Sitting on the edge of the rickety wooden cart, bouncing up and down together with the piles of sacks, Xia Yan sighed silently in his heart.

  Maybe this journey is my last free time.

  Besides taking herself back to have children, she really couldn't think of any use for the man in front of her.

  A skill?

Work?

Ha ha.

  Thinking about it, I only have this body left, and it still has a little value.

  I heard that it will hurt, but I don’t know if it’s true...

"Here we are."

  The voice from the front interrupted at least 200,000 non-existent brain supplements.

  Recovering from the daydream, Xia Yan suddenly raised his head, and found that he had been taken to a small forest by this group of people at some point.

  In the center surrounded by the jungle, there is an open space scattered with wooden piles, and an unfinished concrete wall stands on the open space.

  Beside the concrete wall, there are kilns with blue smoke, and behind them are earth pits for bacon and racks for smoked fish.

  The air is filled with the smell of barbecue, and there is the sound of ding ding bang bang in my ears.

  Some people are beating stones with hammers, some are operating bellows to blow air into the furnace, and some are moving stones, building walls or cutting trees.

  This place is like a large construction site.

   Raw and busy.

  These people... are all his subordinates?

  Seeing all this, Xia Yan's pale face was full of surprise. She made a rough count and found that there were still quite a few people here, and there were a dozen or twenty of them who could only be seen, wearing uniform blue uniforms.

  The moment she saw the clothes clearly, it took her less than a second to guess the identities of these people.

  Refuge residents! ?

   I haven't heard that there is a refuge near here.

but…

  What are they doing?

  Xia Yan was a little confused.

   It is not uncommon for shelters to be located in Qingquan City. Some have been opened many years ago, and many are still locked up until now, waiting for the unlocking period to come.

  Those shelters that mix well can occasionally be regarded as one of the forces, and those that mix poorly basically become the rations of mutants or alien species.

Xia Yan remembered that there seemed to be a refuge not far from Boulder City, but the survivors living in it were relatively xenophobic, unwilling to contact outsiders, and quite doggy, let alone building on the surface. , and rarely come out of the shelter.

   Does this kind of fence make sense?

  Sturdy is indeed a good acquaintance, bullets should be impenetrable, but no matter how strong the wall is, can it be stronger than the door of the shelter?

  That thing is opaque to gamma rays.

   "...are you people from the shelter?"

   "Yes," Chu Guang glanced at the wound on her leg, and said, "I thought you passed out."

   She was very honest along the way, and there was no movement.

   But Chu Guang's attention was basically scattered around, and he didn't pay much attention to her side, thinking that this person had lost too much blood and passed out.

   Unexpectedly, he was still awake.

   "I'm not that vulnerable."

  Xia Yan raised her chin, her brows and expression were as stiff as lead, she felt that this might make her look a little bit more spineless.

   At least not looking timid.

  Unfortunately, no one paid attention to her pretending to be tough, or even noticed it at all.

   "I see," Chu Guang said casually, looking away from the **** broken leg, "Your wounds are indeed healing a little faster than ordinary people."

  Using the attribute template of Vault 404, this guy's physique has at least 8 points, and the error is about ±1.

  An ordinary person, even if he didn’t lose too much blood, would still have a high fever and pass out.

  However, this guy can still hold on, just sweating on his forehead, his face is pale, and his consciousness is not so clear.

   Of course, it may be due to "talent".

  The survivors on the wasteland are more or less attached to the word mutation, and it is not surprising that they have some physical characteristics that are different from ordinary people.

   Chu Guang looked at the two players and ordered.

   "You send the food to 'Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes' and let him keep it properly."

  A few days ago, Chu Guang told Brother Chaodan to build a granary that could preserve grain and meat.

   No surprises, it should be built now.

   Whether it is dried and put into the warehouse, or directly piled up in the whole bag, I believe this cook is more professional and reliable than myself.

  Since there are players here, Chu Guang doesn't bother to worry about these trivial matters.

  Last time, just getting bacon was enough for him. If I let myself plan the granary, I'm afraid it will get moldy or be eaten by mice if it doesn't last winter.

  Hearing the manager's order, Fang Chang and Ye Shi nodded in unison and took over the task.

"yes!"

   "Obey!"

  Chu Guang didn't say anything.

  I saw him reaching out to pick up the paralyzed female mercenary on the cart, ignoring the latter's exclamation, and carrying her on his shoulders like a sack.

  Then, the other hand stretched out, grabbed the backpack that Ye Shi licked from the other three mercenaries, and strode towards the nursing home.

  Ye Shi and Fang Chang watched in admiration.

  This big bag is equipped with a living person, and the addition will cost a hundred kilograms at least.

   Picking up with both hands and walking away, this is too strong!

  Looking at the manager walking towards the nursing home, Lao Bai, who noticed the situation here, quietly leaned over.

   "What happened? Who is that person our BOSS is carrying?"

   "You asked Fang Chang, but he finished watching the plot, and I watched it lonely." Either licking the bag or being a hostage, Ye Shi felt like a tool man, with a depressed expression on his face.

  Fang Chang made a helpless expression.

   "Don't look at me, this game doesn't have subtitles, and I can't understand what the NPCs are saying to each other when going through the plot... You can just understand her as a newly added NPC."

  Guess I can get a general idea, but it’s a bit difficult to tell it completely, so let’s wait for the official website to update.

  Old Bai was stunned.

   "Okay...but then again, how did she get hurt so badly?"

   "Hey, don't say the injuries are serious, everyone is almost gone," Ye Shi said with a sigh, "You don't know what we encountered on the way back."

   "What happened?"

"crawler!"

   "Damn it?" Lao Bai looked at Ye Shi in surprise, and hurriedly asked, "Did you meet a creeper? What does that thing look like?"

   There is information about the creeper on the official website, but apart from a few abstract text descriptions, there is no description about its combat effectiveness.

   There is no illustration book to refer to.

  Old Bai only remembers that this thing seems to belong to the same category as the Gnaw, both of which are symbiont alien species born under fungal infection. It seems to be related to biological weapons, and its ancestors can no longer be traced.

  At first, he was still thinking that this thing is probably a monster in the setting, and the game company might not have made the model yet.

   I didn't expect these two to meet each other!

"It looks ugly. It has four long arms. It is about half a person's height when lying on its stomach, and it is estimated to be two meters when standing up. This thing is not only incredibly powerful, but the key is that it moves very fast! Our three guns shot After a round, I missed a single shot, and then the manager was awesome, picked up the steel pipe, and was stabbed to death by it a few times."

  Ye Shi vividly described the situation at that time, although this abstract narrative style basically did not explain anything clearly.

  Old Bai looked at Fang Chang begging for help, and the latter sighed.

   "I can't tell for a while, but basically like what Ye Shi said, that creeper is a bit too strong."

"I guess the new expansion pack not only updates the in-game activities, but also adds more alien species, new NPC camps, and related tasks. I will talk about this after I go offline later... The manager asked me to send the cart to Brother Chaodan, I will hand in a task first."

  Although I really want to share his new discovery with Brother Fang Chang, but now there are only three hours left before dark, and there is really no time to touch fish.

  Old Bai sighed, nodded.

   "Okay, you go first... I'll go and think about the blast furnace for steelmaking. Come and help me when you're done!"

   "Well, see you later."

  …

   On the other side, in the nursing home.

   The players who were constructing on the scaffolding noticed the manager returning from the outside.

  Of course he also noticed the woman on his shoulders.

   "Damn, look, look, the manager has a person on his shoulders!"

   "Who is that person???"

   "New NPC?"

   "Still a girl!"

   "Finally a new NPC! Brother Meng, we are one step closer to the closed beta!"

"Oh oh oh!"

  Thinking that it is one step closer to the closed beta, the players seem to have been beaten one by one, and they have to work harder to move bricks and plaster.

  Xia Yan, who was carried by Chu Guang on her shoulders, seemed to be on fire on her cheeks, not only because of her posture, but also because of the lines of sight that made her feel like a light on her back.

  She couldn't understand what those people were saying, but she didn't have to.

  You can guess it, it's nothing more than trash talking like the dirty eyes of these men.

  She could imagine that they were like hyenas in the wasteland, using this method to flatter and compliment the male as the leader, hoping to get a bone or a mouthful of broth after he finished eating his prey.

  Obviously, I am the fresh and delicious lamb.

  The more Xia Yan thought about it, the more frightened she became, her clenched teeth couldn't help but fight, and her eye sockets became a little wet, even dripping down.

  She suddenly regretted it. Instead of being humiliated and thrown to the wolves for food, she might as well have committed suicide and died with a little backbone.

   But the body won't listen to her.

  The elevator goes down.

arrive.

  Chu Guang strode through the gate of the shelter, passed the buffer room, and walked into the resident hall. He threw aside the package full of equipment, and then threw Xiayan on his shoulders on the chair.

   "Hiss, lighten up... what are you doing?"

   Gasping in pain, Xia Yan stared nervously at Chu Guang who was approaching.

"be honest."

  Being too lazy to pay attention to her, Chu Guang opened the drawer casually, took out a silver-white metal round tube from inside, flicked off the plastic cover with his thumb, and flicked it with his index finger habitually.

   "It shouldn't hurt, just bear with it."
