Chapter 564 Because it is less than 20mm, of course it is a gun

   "Wasteland OL" official website.

  At the peak of offline, a freshly released post hit the hot list at lightning speed, and became a hot topic among countless players and cloud players.

  Ye Shi: "Big news! Jinhe City found prosthetic mutants!!"

  In the post, Ye Shi emphatically described the danger of the situation at that time, and how he wittily counter-killed the opponent to escape.

   In addition, there are several restricted-grade pictures attached to the post. Although they have been processed by the system's own filter, they still need to verify the age information to view.

  However, to Ye Shi's disappointment, the situation where all the fanboys and girls shouted 666 did not appear in his post.

   Instead, there was booing.

  Tyrannosaurus Warrior: "You can win 50/50 in Liushen costume, that's too much!"

  Cheerful netizen: "Yes!"

  Professor Yang of the Lightning Dharma King: "It's better to wear it for me for identification! (Funny

  Ye Shi: "Damn! You're so easy on your mouth, go and try to kill one!"

  Professor Yang of Thunder Dharma King: "It's easy to say, you give me a helmet, and I will show you right away. (smirk

  Ye Shi: "#@%￥!"

Lao Bai: "Haha, the mutant transformed with a prosthetic body still has something. He can run and jump with a charged shot from a Gauss rifle. He swings half a chainsaw and rattles it. Give it to our brother Ye Shi. Several parts of the power armor are dry and yellow."

  Quit smoking: "Wait, I remember that didn't fall?"

  Fang Chang: "Catch an honest man alive."

  Gust: squinting smile

  Vine: ╯▽╰

  Night Ten: "T.T"

  Tail: "Wait a minute... sis, did we go too far south?! (#Д

  Sisi: "I thought the south was the south of Luoxia Province... After all, the south of River Valley Province wouldn't be too obvious. (guilty

  Roshan Da Momo: "Sure enough, it's too difficult. T.T"

   Aoao Sesame Paste: "Ahaha... Actually, survival on a deserted island is also quite interesting, I rub my head."

  Yaoya: "Survival on a deserted island?! Where did you go? Σ(°△°|||

  Sisi: "Phuket Island, anyway, we are repairing the boat... By the way, there are crabs as big as small houses here, so they shouldn't be counted as split-claw crabs. Unfortunately, the photos can't be uploaded. (￣～￣;

  Spring Water Commander: "Shocking..."

  Grand Ao Nai I He: "I laughed, the picture can't be opened at all, so I just made it up? Hot chicken!"

  The post is full of cheerfulness.

  Although there are many good brothers who ridicule Ye Shi's brother wearing power armor and fighting so hard, most players still recognize his strength.

   It is not easy for the perception system to be able to counter-kill after being put on the face. Theoretically, in terms of strength, physique, and agility, mutants are far superior to humans. Power armor can provide high damage reduction, but it is not invincible after all.

   Apart from the voice of ridicule, the focus of discussion among most players is still on the game itself.

   That is, those outrageous mutants that appear on the new map!

  As early as when the server was first launched, veteran A-test players have experienced the horror of mutant combat power.

  If the crew of the Pioneer hadn't killed the group of beasts, with their manpower and equipment at that time, I'm afraid they really couldn't do anything against the mutants on 76th Street.

  At that time, everyone discussed it on the forum. Considering the intelligence level and physical fitness, the strength of the mutant should probably be comparable to that of a level 40 or 60 monster.

  After all, they are not animals like split claw crabs that will only rush upwards after being beaten, but primates with learning ability.

  They will not only make their own iron-pipe rifles and Molotov cocktails, but also stuff iron nails and gunpowder into cans to make traps like trip wire mines.

  And now, these mutants are not carrying those homemade iron barrel rifles.

  They not only have special vehicles and modified prosthetic bodies for their body size, but also have radio command and simple and crude but effective tactical cooperation.

  The strength of this 10,000-person mutant tribe is probably far more outrageous than a 100-person mutant tribe.

  Of course, even if it is a serious discussion, it is inevitable that there will be indecent content.

Luo Yu: "Speaking of which, I also saw another kind of mutants here. The locals call them hybrids, probably similar to half-orcs? They occasionally appear in survivor settlements, and they look similar to humans in size, but No penis, or no primary sexual characteristics."

  Siss: "?"

  Fang Chang: "??"

  Luo Yu: "Uh, why are you posting question marks... Can't this be discussed. (guilty

  Fang Chang: "Well, it's not that we can't discuss it."

  Sis: "It's just... how do you know?"

  Tail: "!! Expand and talk! (ω

  Luo Yu: "???"

  Elf King Fugui: "As expected of Luo Yu, Lao Na called him a good guy. (Funny

  The mole on the run in the canyon: "Although they all eat, they are completely different, right? (Funny

  The boy on the construction site and Brick: "Hahahaha, big eyes gave me a thumbs up."

   Debt big eyes: "Fuck! What's wrong with me?"

  Irena: "Thank you, I was offended. (The fist is hard limited edition funny.jpg

  …

  Vault 404.

  In the browsing room on the B4 floor, Chu Guang, who was sitting in front of the computer, was looking at the report that Lao Bai submitted to him.

  In fact, before receiving this report, he had learned all about what happened last night from the forum posts.

  However, compared to the bragging narration of that boy Ye Shi and the dismantling of his good brothers, the report written by Lao Bai is obviously much more professional and rigorous.

   Not only the plan and complete process of the entire operation, but also a detailed report on the entire process of their contact with the Iron Tower Organization.

  According to the members of the "Iron Tower" organization, the Torch Church did not contact the local survivors immediately after arriving in Jinhe City, but took the lead in finding the local mutant tribe "Qi".

   This is what happened the year before last.

   And in the year before last, that is, the year 211 of the Wasteland Era, the year he just woke up in the wasteland. The Church of the Torch sent an apostle to Qingquan City, through the middleman White Shark in the Pirate Bay Tavern, and hired local mercenary forces to search for Vault 117 and the black box inside.

  Currently, the White Shark has been controlled by the guards and has become one of the alliance's "informants" in Boulder City, so this part of the information will naturally be unlocked.

  Combined with the rhetoric provided by the Iron Tower Organization, basically they can be matched.

  Including the Church of the Torch later providing limited weapons and intelligence support to the Bonechewers through the springboard of Boulder City, not only for the black box in Vault 117, but also plans to carry out missionary activities in Jinchuan and Hegu at the same time.

It's just that the group of predators really couldn't support the wall with mud, and they caught up with the blizzard of winter, and at the same time lost the right time, place and people. The operation like a gourd baby saving grandpa not only killed themselves, but also kept them alive. A "new alliance" was forcibly formed in a wilderness.

  At that time, the Iron Tower Organization tried to win the help of the nobles of Boulder City, but those guys didn't even look up to the country bumpkins in the northern suburbs, let alone the country bumpkins from other provinces.

  According to Lao Bai's report, according to Li Jinrong, the envoy they sent to Boulder City didn't even see the then head of the city hall, and was sent away by the gatekeeper.

  But it may be precisely because of the arrogance of those old nobles that the Church of the Torch also failed to get their attention. On the contrary, because the interests of Boulder City were concentrated in the south at that time, the ambitions of those missionaries aroused the vigilance of the "noble merchants" headed by Wei Jia.

  Many plantations in Jinchuan Province are actually remotely controlled by the owners of Boulder City, and this limits the expansion plan of the Torch Church to a "certain extent".

It's just that with the rise of the alliance, the decline of Boulder City and the old aristocratic forces, the cheap agricultural products produced by the river embankment in Sunset Province gradually flowed into the southern part of River Valley Province as the front line advanced. removed.

   This is something that happened outside the league's view.

  Now the Church of the Torch has brought almost the entire Jinchuan Province into its sphere of influence, and the "Odd" tribe has become a staunch ally of the Church of the Torch.

   And this part of the information is basically consistent with the information that Chu Guang has investigated through the Guard Corps before.

   Not only that, the man named Li Jinrong also provided a clue that he didn't expect.

   That was the first stop of the Church of the Torch after arriving in Jinhe City, and it was the "Champion" Biopharmaceutical Research Institute. And that place is exactly the coordinates provided to him by the academy!

   So what exactly is the research institute?

   Now Chu Guang is more and more convinced that the academy is using his hands to do something.

   Do you want to use his hand to get rid of the Church of the Torch?

   Or just to divert one's sight from Luoxia Province or the Great Desert, or other things.

  Those guys have too many minds, he really can't guess.

  Sometimes Chu Guang even suspects that even the accidental encounter between the Beacon Squad and the Burning Corps at the edge of the Wandering Swamp was arranged by an invisible hand...

   "A mutant with a prosthetic body..."

   Tapping his forehead with his index finger, Chu Guang, who was leaning on the chair, pondered for a long time before suddenly speaking.

   "Xiao Qi, help me contact Ibbs."

  Since you are undecided, it is better to ask the opinions of experts first.

   Almost at the same time as his voice fell, a clear and pleasant voice floated.

   "Okay, master... Ah, Ibers is still in the operating room, and his assistant told Xiao Qi that it will take about 15 minutes."

   It should be the player doing the surgery.

  Chu Guang said.

   "Let him not be in a hurry and get things done first."

"receive!"

  Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the table, saluted playfully.

  Listening to the energetic voice, Chu Guang couldn't help smiling, and the solemnity between his brows could not help but dissipated a little, and stretched out his index finger to rub its small head.

   "Could you get me a cup of tea?"

  Xiao Qi, enjoying the head massage, nodded happily.

   "Yes! Leave it to Xiao Qi!"

  Chu Guang always felt that the smile was not that simple, but he didn't take it seriously.

   Not long after, the door of the reading room opened, and Yaya hurried in with a cup of black tea.

   "Oh **** ho! Dear lord manager, the sleeping black tea you wanted is here!"

  Hearing this off-line speech, Chu Guang almost didn't choke on his own saliva, but barely maintained the majesty of the faction boss, and nodded solemnly.

   "Thank you, please put it here."

   It's getting harder and harder to stand up in front of players.

"okay!"

  Crowing the corners of his mouth happily, he floated out of the door like a gust of wind.

   It can be seen that the mission rewards are quite a lot.

  Chu Guang glanced at the black tea on the tray and sighed.

   "Xiao Qi."

  A figurine sitting at the corner of the table tilted its head pretending to be silly.

"Um?"

  Chu Guang: "..."

never mind.

  At least Yaya is considered a more serious type among all players, and will not add some strange things to drinks.

  If several "big filial sons" serve it, even if Xiao Qi is there to OB, he must hesitate.

  Chu Guang picked up the teacup and took a sip.

   Some milk was added to the black tea. The taste of the tea was very light, but it was slightly sweet. It was different from the one he usually made himself, and also different from the one Alisa invited him to drink.

   When he took the teacup in his hand, he found a note on the tray, which was written in funny and scrawled handwriting.

  【The black tea has added cube sugar and milk, I hope it suits your taste. Even if you are busy, don’t stay up late, pay attention to rest. (^_～)】

This guy.

  Chu Guang smiled and shook his head, but his heart felt warm.

  Even if the motive is to gain favorability and unlock hidden tasks, it feels good to be cared about.

  He had been in Boulder City a few days ago, and he didn't come back from there until yesterday. His whole body was like a clockwork wound up, and it didn't stop for a moment.

  He suddenly thought, maybe it's not just this cup of black tea, maybe asking himself to wait for 15 minutes is also thoughtful in some sense?

  Although he couldn't imagine Ebbers's considerate appearance, according to his visit to the giant stone military industry, prosthetic body reconstruction surgery usually does not require that guy to be present at the scene.

  Standing in the operating room and admiring the engineers' "opening the guts" of the organisms is just a bad taste of an AI.

Looking at the problem from another angle brought unexpected fun. Chu Guang decided to temporarily put aside his work matters while he was waiting for Ibers. During the time in Boulder City, memories that have nothing to do with work.

   Perhaps because of the cup of black tea in his hand, the first thing he thought of was Alisa.

The little girl would occasionally ask him some management questions in her spare time, and as a thank you for the trouble, she would politely invite herself to taste the black tea she brewed herself, and always gave him some over-roasted tea. cookies.

  That polite and lovely girl is very popular with everyone.

   Especially the aunts in the kitchen of the city hall treat her like their own daughter and often teach her some cooking skills. And for these skills that she hadn't been exposed to before, she herself was very happy to learn, and she didn't feel tired at all.

  Easy to learn is a great skill.

  Chu Guang always had a premonition that she might become a great person in the future.

  Especially when he learned that she was determined to go to camp 101 to study with Xiaoyu and Pai, he was even more convinced of this.

  The three of them seemed to have established a deep friendship during the ceremony, and Xiaoyu seemed to say that he would introduce Boss Xia to her.

   Alisa is also full of curiosity about how mercenaries live.

   Maybe they will become good friends.

  Thinking of Boss Xia, Chu Guang suddenly felt a little sorry.

   I heard from Xiaoyu that she was working on something very powerful, saying that she wanted to give everyone a surprise, and she even turned down the celebration.

  Although Xiaoyu didn't describe in detail what that powerful thing looked like, Chu Guang knew at a guess that it probably had something to do with the power armor.

  Maybe I shouldn't have joked about asking her to help build a power armor last time, but she obviously took that sentence seriously.

  He seldom forces a person to do things beyond his ability, whether it is an aborigine in this world or a player from another world.

  The guy who used to be greedy for fun and food, and loved fishing would become so diligent and studious, so that such an interesting celebration was skipped, he never expected...

   "Looks like I'm bothering you."

  An abrupt voice came from the table, and Ibers, whose body was half immersed in the holographic beam, bowed slightly to salute.

  Those eyes made of azure blue light and shadow intertwined, with a playful expression.

   Putting down the teacup in his hand, Chu Guang looked at him.

   "No, I was waiting for you."

   "Really?" Ibbs smiled slightly, and said gently, "Then, my lord manager, what are your orders?"

  Chu Guang didn't speak. He flicked his index finger in the air and sent him the battle scenes captured by the Burning Corps.

   Staring at the miserable corpse of the mutant soaked in blood plasma, Ibers had a strange expression on his face, as if admiring an interesting piece of art.

  Rubbing his index finger against his chin, he muttered to himself with interest.

   "Ah... the smell of blood, what did I say?"

   Not wanting to deal with this guy's nervousness, Chu Guang went straight to the point.

   "I want to ask your opinion about these prosthetic bodies."

"...There is no entity but a photo. It's really hard for me to see anything." Sliding his index finger to the right on the photo, Ebbers commented with interest, "But the design idea is very creative, and it can even be said... It's just a variant. Human characteristics are specially designed."

  The implication is that this thing was not seized, but installed by the original factory.

   It can be seen that the forces behind the mutants not only have reliable prosthetic body transformation technology, but also have the production capacity to realize the technology.

  Chu Guang couldn't help frowning.

   What worries him is not the technology mastered by the enemy, but the information revealed behind this technology.

  The Church of the Torch obviously didn't start researching how to use prosthetic body technology to strengthen mutants after arriving in Jinchuan Province.

   This set of equipment for actual combat has obviously been improved and matured.

   Those fanatical lunatics are likely to have mixed with mutant tribes in other parts of the wasteland before.

  Not only did they provide mutants with food and breeding grounds, they also systematically made them stronger with prosthetic modification technology.

   Admiring the expression on Chu Guang's face, Ebbers said with a slight smile.

   "It seems that little things can't escape your eyes, so I won't remind you any more nonsense."

   Chu Guang looked at him and asked.

   "Well, I will pay special attention... By the way, how about the equipment I asked you to develop?"

   "I'm planning to report this matter to you."

  Ibers raised an index finger and flicked it lightly in the air, and the light blue light particles quickly gathered into a uniquely shaped rifle.

   At the same time, a line of labels appeared next to it, giving a brief introduction to this special equipment.

  The shape of the whole gun looks quite generous and bulky. The unique design of the front grip and hand guard makes it look like the real P90.

   However, its clip is not inserted above the gun body, but is inserted in front of the trigger like most traditional rifles.

  The most prominent feature is naturally its caliber, which is a full 19mm! Can continuously fire the legendary .75 caliber ammunition!

  Although this caliber is a bit outrageous for an automatic rifle, but since it does not reach 20 mm, it is a gun of course.

   After confirming that the caliber was marked correctly, Chu Guang was shocked.

   Good guy!

  Bolter? !

   "...XB-1 heavy rifle, a new product of Jushi Military Industry! Of course, the products we produce are naturally high-quality products!"

   Appreciating the expression on Chu Guang's face, Ebbers made a supplementary explanation in a eloquent tone, and continued.

"It is worth mentioning that since the ammunition of this rifle uses the principle of rocket propulsion, it will undergo a second acceleration after being discharged, so there will be a safe distance of about 10 meters... Simply put, sticking it too close will affect the power. A distance of 100 meters to 300 meters is just right, and a little farther has no effect."

   "Its killing mode is not the same as that of traditional rifles. You may think it looks like a grenade, but in fact it is a directional release of a metal jet similar to an armor-piercing bullet."

"I don't recommend ordinary people to equip it. Although it is a secondary acceleration, it is not a recoilless gun after all, and the recoil is not small. If you don't want to be shaken apart, it is best to match it with a heavy exoskeleton or power armor, or it is best to focus on it. Muscle-strengthened Awakened."

   "Similarly, I don't recommend using it to hit ordinary people. Most of the metal jets will be sprayed from the back or the back of the head... It's too wasteful, just like hitting mosquitoes with a cannon. It's not efficient at all."

"However, to deal with mutants, or some alien species with strong resilience, I bet there will be no more perfect product than this on the market! You can even use it to deal with light vehicles, and the 20mm steel plate can be pierced in one shot. .”

   "Because you get three beeps when you fire a shot, it's quite noisy, what do you think of the name 'Growler'?"

  Hearing the question from Ebbers, Chu Guang, who was immersed in the shock, came back to his senses and said immediately.

   "I have no objection... By the way, change the heavy rifle to a bolter."

  Ebbers was stunned for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he said happily.

   "This name is good, enough image!"

  Chu Guang's expression was a little subtle.

  This is no longer an image, it is almost exactly the same.

"...Sure enough, we hit it off. It is the greatest honor in my life to be able to serve you." Looking at Chu Guang who did not speak, Ibers, who flattered Chu Guang, continued with a smile, "By the way, this weapon has just After testing in the laboratory, if it is convenient, I want it to go to the battlefield to see the actual combat performance, and then decide how to design the 'anti-mutant exoskeleton' and 'anti-mutant prosthetic body'."

   "That's easy to say," Chu Guang said immediately, "I plan to send the Jungle Corps to Jinchuan Province to support the actions of the Burning Corps."

   "They will cooperate with your experiments. If necessary, you can directly issue branch combat missions to them through the terminal I gave you."

   "Of course, they have their own judgments on whether to complete side missions. You'd better exercise this authority carefully."

  Hearing this inconceivable sentence, Ebbers stared blankly at Chu Guang, and opened his mouth wide in surprise.

   Seeing that the AI ​​was being stupid and didn't speak for a long time, he frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?"

   "Nothing, no... I mean, thanks, this is great!" Ebbers clenched his fists with vigor.

  In the past more than a hundred years, no one has given him such great support, and even my dear Mr. Fang Ming has never let go of his command.

  However, this generous lord did so without hesitation!

   It's the first time he's shown such respect to an organism... How about dedicating X-17 to him too.

   No, forget it, he hoped that this adult would stay with him for a little longer, as such things really need to be restrained.

  Looking at Ibers whose holographic image kept shaking, Chu Guang frowned even more, with a strange expression in his eyes.

  Xiao Qi whispered her worry in his ear.

   "Master... Is this guy really okay?"

  To be honest, Chu Guang didn't know either.

  The AI ​​in this world is too advanced for him. In order to keep up with the footsteps of those old ones, he is also slowly learning and understanding a lot of things.

   Ebbers might be a try.

   This guy is an AI completely designed by AI, and in a sense, he is unique in the alliance.

   "...help me keep an eye on him."

  Xiao Qi who was sitting on the desk nodded silently.

"Um."
