Chapter 411 Funeral and guests from afar

   "The dog spring water is coming!"

   "Damn! I've drawn so many times...why can't I get one?! Let me go! I have made contributions to the alliance! I want to see the manager!"

   "Come on, give me a hand!"

   "The left leg is handed over to you!"

   "???"

   "Wow! This eyepiece is so powerful! The villains you see are all glowing! Tsk, it's a pity, if only I could see through!"

   "Ah, don't run away! Show me too!"

   "No, no, your head is too big! It will break me!"

  In the sanatorium above shelter 404, the plaza at the entrance was bustling like a festival, and the players who landed got their prizes.

   Portable shield backpack including spring water.

   Includes thermal imaging eyepiece for tail.

   There are also a series of novelties.

  The spring water that was dragged to a big tree by good brothers screamed, repeatedly calling "dog battle field" and "where is my son".

  It's a pity that the brave general under his command has already followed the legion to the desert, and now he may have changed into the shape of the legion.

  Wearing glasses with a square head and a square brain, the tail making a hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee to run all over the square, Sisi and Sesame paste sat by the side of the square watching leisurely.

   "It feels like the eyepiece... should be connected to the helmet. Isn't it strange that it is tied directly with a rubber band?" Sisi said with a little concern.

  The cat ears on the top of the head shook slightly, and said with a sesame paste smile.

   "Well... don't care about these details."

   The edge of the square.

  Old Bai held a hatchet in his hand, and scratched the back of his head with his left hand.

   "This thing... how to use it?"

  The handle of the ax is orange-red.

   The blade of the ax doesn't look sharp, even a bit blunt, but the side is as bright as a mirror, reflecting a bewildered face.

  Brother Chicken Killer walked over curiously and took a look, seeing that the ax was blunt enough to be used as a hammer, so he left without interest.

  Old Bai's face was full of confusion.

this…

   Is it a fire axe?

   "Why don't you find something to chop and try?" Ye Shi, who was standing aside, didn't understand what's so special about this thing.

  Guang Feng held his chin and pondered for a moment, and was about to express his opinion when suddenly a familiar and reliable voice came from the side.

   "The Fusion Cutting Axe."

   "Although the application scenario is firefighting, it is different from ordinary fire axes. It can squeeze the gas on the blade of the ax according to special effects, and form a directional jet of thermal cutting airflow at the moment it hits the target at high speed."

   "The charging interface is at the lower end of the ax handle. There is a button two inches above it. Press and hold it to charge the capacitor."

  Equipment that has appeared in the game can basically be found in the official website database, and the equipment produced by the shelter has detailed information.

   Even if there is only one piece.

  Before logging into the game, Fang Chang had gone through all the new equipment added in this lottery, and had a general understanding of these weapons.

  After all, the weapon settings in the shelter come from the pre-war era, and are not patented by players. Since they appear in the hands of players, they may naturally appear in the hands of other forces.

However…

   What surprised everyone was not what Fang Chang said, but himself.

   "Physical penetration, it's a black cut, that's right—fuck! Fang Chang!?"

  Looking at Fang Chang coming from the direction of the gate of the base, Ye Shi's eyes suddenly widened, and even the strong wind beside him showed a surprised expression on his face.

"you get up?"

   "Hmm... Sorry for being a little late, I just finished reading the update."

  Fang Chang had dark circles under his eyes, probably because he didn't sleep well. Unlike usual, he still had a windproof scarf around his neck.

   Obviously there are trees everywhere here, and there is no wind and sand to block it.

   "Aren't you hot?"

"fine."

  There was a rare blush on that calm face.

   After coughing lightly, Fang Chang changed the topic a little bluntly, and said with a serious expression, "... put aside my affairs for now, what have you all gotten?"

   "Big sniper!" Ye Shi chuckled, with a hint of showing off in his tone, "Type 15 'Python' Gauss Rifle! I finally got it!"

  Fang Chang gave him a slightly surprised look.

   "So you got that gun... By the way, why didn't you bring it out?"

  Ye Shi said with a shy smile.

   "Going to the city today, it's useless to bring that."

  Guangfeng made a joke.

   "It's because the ammunition is not easy to deal with."

  Ye Shi scratched the back of his head.

   "Ammo is a minor issue, mainly the barrel..."

  Different from the manager's Type 20 'Needle' Gauss rifle with no barrel design, the Type 15 is a long-range Gauss rifle with a barrel and rifling.

  Because the projectile relies on the rifling to spin and the projectile has a relatively fast muzzle velocity, the wear and load on the barrel is far more than that of ordinary light weapons.

  However, compared to the "fin stabilized bullets" of the Type 20, the Type 15 bullets are much cheaper, and can even be rubbed by hand on a workbench in a weapons store.

  Most of the Gauss rifles of the company adopt a similar "barrel" design, and the barrel is made detachable for easy replacement, mostly out of cost and local materials.

  Fang Chang nodded in understanding.

"...I've seen the data of your weapon. The full charge of the capacitor can accelerate a 65g 7mm projectile to Mach 5. It has excellent killing performance against long-range and ultra-long-range targets. It should be able to be used after going to the desert map. Useful."

   After making a pertinent evaluation of Ye Shi's weapon, he then looked at Kuangfeng.

"And you?"

  Guangfeng replied.

   "Alpha Dog."

  Fang Chang was slightly taken aback.

"What?"

  Guang Feng continued.

   "A mechanical dog, the name he gave it."

   "Mechanical dog... the A-1 ground weapon platform?" Fang Chang nodded clearly.

  He also saw that weapon on the official website.

  The appearance is a 4-legged robot with a length of 1.5 meters, and its conventional load can reach 2.7 tons. It can be used as a mobile supply station, a battlefield signal repeater, or even a "charging pile" for drones.

   At the same time, it can also be used as a firepower platform, mounting 12mm machine guns, 40mm grenades, smoke generators, etc.

  Whether it’s a book or a team, this thing is very useful, it’s simply a magical costume tailored for intelligence players.

  Fang Chang only took 5 seconds to come up with more than 6 application scenarios, and it seems that this one has been released in the whole server so far.

  Old Bai looked at Fang Chang.

   "What about you?"

  Fang Chang smiled and said.

"Powered wingsuit aircraft! I'm planning to go to the shelter to take it out. According to the instructions, it can be carried as a backpack, or it can be disassembled to use as a fixed-wing drone, but after wearing this thing, you can't wear a heavy exoskeleton... And I have never played wingsuit flying, I have to practice."

  Ye Shi: "Fuck, awesome!"

  Guang Feng: "It matches your bow and arrow quite well."

   "It's okay," Fang Chang said modestly, and then looked at Lao Bai, "Speaking of Lao Bai, your contribution point has already reached the knight?"

   "Well, 100125 points, just got the title of knight!" Lao Bai grinned and said, "The power armor is quite expensive, it cost me 1 million silver coins."

  Hearing this, everyone around was envious.

   The first power armor in the whole server!

  The ceiling of server combat power has been raised again.

  Fang Chang couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "It's not bad if you can buy one million silver coins, please be content."

  Ye Shi couldn't help complaining.

   "Too Versailles!"

  Old Bai smiled embarrassedly.

  To be honest, at first he was really worried about whether there would be any flaws in that thing, but after he actually put on the power armor, he immediately understood why the manager always wore the power armor and refused to take it off.

  Although the thing looks bulky, it is actually more flexible than imagined. After the power is fully pulled, it hardly feels the slightest weight.

   Not only that, the comfort of the armor is also quite particular, with a built-in air purification system and air conditioner. The service life of the portable reactor and fuel rods that provide energy is calculated in years and months, respectively, so there is no need to worry about battery life.

   Such perfect equipment is obviously worth more than one million silver coins. Even if a zero is added at the end, the nobles of Boulder City will definitely spend tens of millions of chips to buy it without hesitation.

   It is precisely because of this that this equipment requires a contribution level to purchase, and it will be bound to the user after purchase. If it is not used, it can only be sold back to the shelter at a discounted price.

   Speaking of this, some cloud players will definitely be curious, what if I don’t abide by the rules and laws and insist on selling the bound equipment to other survivor settlements?

  This question is very good.

   After getting the helmet, it took nearly a year to train the contribution points to become a knight, and you will know if you try it with an account worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, and carrying countless memories and emotions.

  Of course, if you can't even stand the ban from the dog group leader, it's best not to overestimate your blood pressure and mentality.

   After getting a general understanding of the equipment of his teammates, Fang Chang continued.

   "Speaking of which, what are our plans for today?"

"The mission of the scientific expedition team, the target is within the second ring road in the city center. Help our little brother Yin Fang get some research samples and come back to test the new equipment we just got." Lao Bai looked at Fang Chang and joked, "Speaking of which you In such a hurry to do the task, don't you go to accompany your little girlfriend?"

   "By the way, I almost forgot to ask, how far have you guys developed?" Ye Shi's gossip soul instantly burned, and his eyes sparkled.

  Although Kuangfeng didn't speak, he looked at this side curiously.

  Fang Chang's eyes slightly dodged to the side, and his index finger and thumb, which had no place to rest, pinched the temples of his hair.

   Everyone waited for a long time.

   As a result, there was only an ambiguous perfunctory sentence.

   "...this game is too real."

   There was a silence around.

  Ye Shi suddenly looked at the wind.

   "Why don't you send this guy to accompany Brother Spring?"

  Guangfeng nodded subtly.

   "Well... I think it's okay."

  Fang Chang: "...?"

  …

  【

  ]

   Shelter No. 404, Floor B3.

  Lying on the scanning bed in the infirmary, Chu Guang confirmed the updated property panel through the tablet Heya handed over.

  28 attribute points.

  More than half of them are brought about by the progress of gene sequence development breaking through 30%.

  Compared to other players, his attribute growth is relatively balanced. Although a certain item is not outstanding, the total amount is ridiculously high.

  Besides, following the "wild instinct", "psychic deterrence" and "hive mind", the fourth stage of the gene sequence endowed him with a new "talent".

  【"Call of Victory": The vocal cords vibrate at a special frequency, injecting courage into the voice of the cry, and making those who resonate have the determination to be invincible. 】

  The new talent is also aura.

  At Heya's suggestion, Chu Guang experimented on her.

  According to his own evaluation, the heart rate and adrenaline have increased, and other indicators have also changed slightly, but the effect is not too obvious.

  Maybe it’s because the application scene is wrong, maybe the volume is not enough, or the bionic organ weakens the resonance between organisms…

  In short, the effect is not as obvious as hive thinking.

  After all, when standing in the headquarters and opening his talents, Chu Guangneng could clearly feel that the thinking speed of the officers was much faster.

   I don't know when I can give him "all combat power +8".

"...It seems that my previous conjecture is correct. Your genetic sequence will obtain evolutionary elements from the development progress of other individuals, thereby accumulating your own development progress. Just like what you said about rubbing experience... Although the principle is not clear yet, but The general effect is similar."

   Staring at the slowly floating DNA sequence and the three-dimensional human body structure diagram on the screen, Heya, with her arms folded on her chest, sighed softly.

   "At this rate...you'll be a monster in no time."

"Thank you for the compliment."

   After putting on his shirt, Chu Guang's eyes fell on the terminal screen not far away, and the expression on his face suddenly became a little subtle.

  Although it is a three-dimensional structure diagram, although this is an infirmary, although...

   It is really strange to be stared at by people.

   Noticing Chu Guang's gaze, He Ya slightly raised her eyebrows.

   "Anything else?"

"Gone."

   "Then get out quickly, I will continue my research." He Ya urged with a slightly excited expression.

   It can be seen that the research material she just obtained from herself has brought a lot of inspiration to her research topic.

  I hope her subject can be completed as soon as possible.

  He was also full of confusion about what happened to him, especially when he thought of the dream he had last night.

  Dream.

  He returned to the original wilderness, but he did not go south to Beit Street, but walked to the east of 76th Street uncontrollably, looking for the dim lights.

  There is a lair of mutants.

  Green-skinned big guys sat at the door and gorged themselves, chewing rotten pieces of meat, humming doomsday songs in a rude voice.

  He clearly "saw" himself, the man in the blue coat retreated palely, accidentally stepped on the trip wire of a landmine, and fell beside an abandoned car in a puff of smoke.

  The dream ends here.

  However, there was a slight difference. That night, it was not a clear sky, and there was no two-headed dog with halazi, but heavy snow like goose feathers...

  After coming out of the infirmary.

  Chu Guang happened to bump into Yin Fang who was walking out of the warehouse, and saw that he had a sad face and muttered softly in his mouth.

   "What a waste..."

   Chu Guang, who was thinking about the nightmare last night, raised his head, looked at him in confusion and asked.

"waste?"

  Yin Fang sighed.

   "Well, the black box that produces the coffee beans."

When he came back from the front line, Chu Guang brought back the black box of No. 79 refuge, leaving only a box for making blue coats for the newbies, and a box that was too big to move away and was used to produce portable reactors. of boxes.

"Champion" injection is a good BUFF for players, researchers in the shelter can also be used to refresh, and "Fun Qi" multi-flavored biscuits can be used to earn foreign exchange, "Asteroid" canned meat can be used as military rations .

  Chu Guang has already made proper arrangements for how to use each black box. Only the one that produces coffee beans is useless, so he simply left it to Yin Fang for research.

  When he first got the black box, Chu Guang saw the expression on this guy's face as if he had found a treasure. It's only been a day, and he's already tired?

  Chu Guang couldn't help but feel a little weird.

   “…is there something wrong with that black box?”

   "No problem, the magic-like technology is perfect and fascinating, and the coffee beans grown at an altitude of 1,500 meters are undoubtedly the best of the best..."

   While talking, the expression on Yin Fang's face suddenly filled with righteous indignation, "But why do you need to dry and dehydrate it! Can't it omit the last redundant step!"

  Chu Guang was stunned for a moment.

   "...Isn't it okay to dry it?"

  He doesn't understand it very well, and he doesn't drink that stuff very much.

  “…Can rice be grown from rice grains that have been peeled off? And the same beans, even if they are ground into powder, can’t hide the fact that they have no soul. I might as well drink instant ones.”

   Muttering difficult words, Yin Fang shook his head, and walked towards the elevator under Chu Guang's blank gaze...

  …

  Dawn rising in the distance climbed up the treetops, and the sun at noon shone on the northern suburbs of Qingquan City, which was much quieter than yesterday.

  Yesterday was a celebration.

   Today is the funeral of the honorable.

  Because most of the creatures that survived in the wasteland are not very picky eaters, most survivor settlements will burn their corpses to avoid attracting dangerous alien species.

   Over time, cremation became a custom.

The    Union continued the habit.

  However, for the glorious people who sacrificed for the alliance, the alliance will reserve a tombstone for future generations to look up to, and respect their wishes whether to bury the ashes under the tombstone or sprinkle them where they want to go.

  In addition, players have more choices, they can be cremated, or they can lie down in the active substance conversion furnace to refine their corpses.

  Recovered active substances can be deducted from the resurrection cost.

  Alliance propeller planes drew white smoke in the air, and several ace pilots kicked off the funeral with superb flying performances.

  The plane landed slowly on the airport runway.

  Take off the pilot cap, Luo Yu complained.

   "Damn! Why is my plane called Xiaochuan?"

  The mosquito who walked to the side said with a playful smile.

   "You made up your own name, who will open it if you don't?"

   Rainfall: "@#%!"

  The cemetery on the east side of Dawn City.

   On the green lawn, there are pieces of blue-gray stone monuments, and there is a hint of sadness in the tranquil atmosphere.

  The master of ceremonies, dressed in formal attire, read the eulogy in a long and steady voice.

  Many people stood inside and outside the cemetery.

   There are officials from Dawn City, officers from the First Corps, representatives of various industries and soldiers of the guard of honor. Outside the cemetery, there are also people who came here spontaneously.

  Including mercenaries who fought with the alliance.

   For most survivors of the wasteland, a funeral is a strange thing, especially if it's done so publicly.

  The corpse-exposing wilderness is the destination of wastelanders.

   Standing in the middle of a group of people, Chu Guang quietly watched the funeral.

  In the ceremonies regulated by the alliance, people attending the funeral ceremonies are not required to wear clothes of a certain color, only formal and decent attire is required.

  The blue armor named "Order" is undoubtedly the highest standard of courtesy for the heroic souls who died in the war.

  Standing beside Chu Guang, Luo Hua's mood was a little downcast, and the brows were filled with heavy writing. Although he was still recovering from his injuries, he insisted on coming here on crutches.

   "Sorry... for causing you so much trouble."

   Chu Guang glanced at him and said softly.

   "Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault."

  Regardless of whether there is Luo Hua or not, the people of the legion will kill here sooner or later after solving the troubles in Luoxia Province.

  The jackal's ambition knows no bounds.

   Unless it hurts to beat them.

  However, Luo Hua didn't think so, she was still immersed in the feeling of self-blame, her eyes were full of complexity, she didn't know what she was thinking about.

  Funeral halfway through.

  At this time, Luka suddenly moved to Chu Guang's side and whispered in a very soft voice.

"The envoy of Boulder City has arrived in Dawn City. The head of the mission is the head of the militia group of Boulder City. He claims to represent the lord of Boulder City. He hopes to meet with you face to face regarding the establishment of an embassy, ​​the Heart of Steel, and future cooperation. talk."

  After quietly listening to Luka's report, Chu Guang nodded slightly and said in a very soft voice.

   "Let them come to me."

   Luka asked softly.

   "Is it here?"

   Chu Guang nodded.

   "Yes." Without asking any more questions, Luca nodded respectfully, turned around and retreated into the crowd, and hurriedly left the cemetery.

   About half an hour.

  When Luca returned again, he was accompanied by two guards and the mission from Boulder City.

   There are six people in the mission.

  Chu Guang glanced at the man closest to Luca,

  He was wearing the military uniform of the militia, with golden ribbons on the shoulder straps, and majesty and sharpness between his brows. I think this should be the head of the militia of Boulder City.

   If I remember correctly, his name seems to be Zhao Yongxu, and he is the confidant of the "Master Fang Ming" that Mr. House said.

  Chu Guang's eyes stayed on him for two seconds, then moved away, and continued to look at the master of ceremonies who was presiding over the funeral.

  The head of the militia regiment had a slightly surprised expression on his face, followed by a flash of displeasure.

   Noticing the expression on his face, Luka who was standing beside said softly.

   "Our lord manager is attending the funeral of the fallen soldiers. This is the most important arrangement in his itinerary today... Please wait for a while."

   Zhao Yongxu's voice was slightly displeased.

   "Is there anything more important than our relationship?"

   In his opinion, it was just a few boxes of ashes, and it was enough to find a place to bury them casually, so why bother.

  Usually, after the wave is over, they usually pack the corpses of the mercenaries together with the corpses of those alien species and send them to the cooperative firm for processing, and they don't waste time at all for funeral ceremonies.

  Luka's expression did not change, and he still spoke softly in a calm tone.

   "The manager often tells us that respect for death is respect for life... You are in your prime, and there should be a long time left. Why do you want to compete with the deceased?"

  Zhao Yongxu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a fierce light flashed in his expression, but it was only for a moment, and he quickly restrained his eyes.

   He didn't make an appointment for a surprise visit, and he was really at fault.

   But even so, the attitude of these people's "pretentiousness" made him feel a little angry.

   Simply ignore them!

  However, it is now under the roof of others after all.

   Signaling his subordinates and other envoys to stay calm, Zhao Yongxu stood quietly outside the cemetery, intending to see what tricks the manager was trying to play.

   It didn't take long.

  He heard the master of ceremonies speaking in a solemn and solemn voice.

   “…in honor of the sacrifice of 2,934 Vault residents, 231 Dawn residents, 71 Dawn residents, and 397 Boulder residents.”

   "Your sacrifices have brought you hard-won peace, and we will continue to move forward with your ideals."

  The officer standing next to Zhao Yongxu raised his eyebrows, lowered his voice and whispered to the messenger on the other side.

   "The residents of Boulder City? Could that person be talking about... those mercenaries who trade their lives for wine money?"

  The noble from the inner city also nodded subtly.

"should be."

   These people even buried the ashes of the mercenaries?

  The officer glanced at his mouth. Although he didn't say anything, the disdain in his eyes became even more fruitful.

  He didn't care who these northern suburban bumpkins planned to bury, but he was offended by calling those mercenaries residents of Boulder City.

  If those cockroaches begging on the edge of the wall can be regarded as residents of Boulder City, then there are too many of them.

  Zhao Yongxu frowned slightly.

   What he cared about was not the conversations of his subordinates beside him, but the mercenaries standing by the cemetery not far away.

  The complex expressions on those people's faces made him feel a little unhappy, but he couldn't tell where the unhappiness came from.

   Standing in the cemetery, Chu Guang went to the tombstone and placed a bunch of flowers. After reading, he prepared the eulogy in advance and quietly returned to his seat.

   So far, the funeral is drawing to a close.

  Chu Guang didn’t expect that the emissary of Boulder City would be so touched by this solemn funeral that he would make concessions in the negotiation...

  That kind of idealized thing is not realistic at all.

  But if their leader is willing to come up at this time and put a bouquet of flowers on the tombstone, it may change many people's evaluation of them.

  Whether it is the people of Dawn City or the people of Boulder City.

   Unfortunately, that man didn't do that, he didn't even want to put on a fake show, he just felt that staying for one second was a waste of life.

  If it was that Dulong, he would probably have taken this opportunity to make an impromptu speech, announcing his friendship with the alliance...Anyway, there is no disadvantage in talking.

   "Looks like a 'hawk'."

   Chu Guang thought silently in his heart.

  The status of the "Supreme Military Officer" is out of importance, and the attitude of the "Head of the Mission" generally represents the attitude of the city lord himself.

  I am afraid that this negotiation will be very difficult.

  However, if you think about it from another angle, if you can smooth the claws of the Hawks, maybe the south will become the strongest shield in the alliance.

  This may be an opportunity.

  Already knew what the team leader was going to say next, and when Chu Guang was thinking about how to talk for a while, Xiao Qi's light words came from his ear.

"Owner."

   "A plane is coming due east!"

  Chu Guang hesitated slightly.

"airplane?"

  Xiao Qi said energetically.

   "Hmm! There are a lot of them."

  …

   (Thanks to the leader of "IIIIIIIIIIX" for the reward!!)
