  Chapter 135 Visitors from afar   Northern suburbs of Qingquan City.

Stepping on the snow buried in the calf, five pitch black power armors, walking under the abandoned viaduct and moving towards Qingquan City.

"...Wireless Electronics activity is detected. Up ahead about four kilometers away, the signal activity is low and cannot be resolved."

"Can you identify the other party?"

p>

"Obviously we can't, we don't know anything about the situation here... I suggest to find a nearby native to ask about the situation."

"Good idea."

Looking over the street sign with the place name, Lu Yang raised his head to look at the dead city ahead, frowning under his helmet.

"This is Qingquan City."

Qingquan City is located in the southern part of the River Valley Province. As one of the important hubs of the central urban agglomeration, hundreds of millions of people once lived here.

As for now, I am afraid that the number of people living here is not enough.

Lu Yang stretched out his index finger, tapped lightly on the side of the helmet, and quickly retrieved the geographic information image of the Qingquan area from the database.

Compared with the good times before the war, this place is now like hell, only desolation, rundown, depression and death are left.

"This damn war..."

Lu Yang checked the map, fisted forward, and led his four squad members along the viaduct. The wreckage continued forward.

It is not only Qingquan City that has become this ghost. If they want to remember the past, they can remember from the horizon to the Kuiper belt.

But it makes no sense to do so.

The reason why they did not travel far from the shore of the Eastern Sea to come here is neither for archaeology nor to make a documentary, but to continue forward, all the way to the west, deep into the wilderness, to find human civilization The last hope-the legendary refuge No. 0.

As for why I stopped here...

Honestly, Lu Yang didn't want to.

Unfortunately, their transportation has a little trouble.

If you want to fix it as soon as possible, you can only ask for help from nearby survivors.

He doesn't want to waste months of time here.

According to the experience during the journey, once they stop for more than a month, they will have successive troubles to come to their door.

"Captain, there is a drone watching us."

The Marines walking on the left of Lu Yang raised his head, looking at the airspace up ahead, using He continued jokingly.

"It's a cute little fellow... I don’t have a matching model in my database, but just looking at the appearance, it should have been modified from a civilian model drone before the war. It flies so high."

Another Marine drowsily said.

"It seems that there should be a refuge nearby. Very good, I don't have to deal with the indigenous people."

"How do you know that the refuge lives? Not a native? Did you forget the blue jacket we saw last time? He kept claiming that he was from Vault 117, and then swallowed the gum I gave him."

"hahahaha !"

As he talked, there was an unstoppable laughter from the communication channel.

Obviously, they did not take that little fellow in the sky seriously.

"Don't interrupt, others are looking at us."

Pull out the jamming gun inserted in the waist, walk on the outermost Marines, to their Captain Cast the inquiring sight.

"Do you need me to get it down?"

"No."

Lu Yang made a gesture and motioned his comrades to stop. , And then moved towards the sky and waved his hand, indicating that he had found it here.

"Friends from afar, we are not malicious. If it is convenient, can we talk about it?"

Lu Yang is not sure whether the drone has a sound collection system, so he turned it on The loudspeaker on the power armor helmet expresses his friendliness with a loud voice.

The voice echoed over the ruins.

Maybe I heard his voice, maybe I realized that I had been spotted, and the drone descended and flew in front of them.

It was a silver white sphere. It was surprisingly small. The propeller blades didn't know what material they used, and they were flying silently.

Lu Yang watched it stop in front of him, circled around him, and then slowly drifted towards the wetland park ahead.

The squad members on the side exchanged their sights.

"Is this showing friendship?"

"Probably so, it seems to be inviting us over."

"Captain, shall we go there? "

Lu Yang thought for a moment, opened the mouth and said.

"Wang Yi stays, in the vicinity to find the commanding heights to observe, and the others follow me."

"Yes!"

……

The outpost, the third floor of the nursing home.

Through the screen worn on his arm, watching the four people entering the wetland park, a little dignity appeared on Chu Guang's face.

Power armor!

He had only heard of this stuff from survivors before, but now he saw it with his own eyes for the first time, but he didn't expect it to be more exaggerated than he thought.

The heavy full-protection armor covers every inch of their skin. The rectangular modular rifle in the hand exudes a cold light.

They are like humanoid tanks coming out of a science fiction studio, which is daunting.

Chu Guang even had some doubts, what is the difference between ordinary caliber bullets and tickling them?

The heavyweight armor and equipment did not affect their mobility at all, at least judging from the way they can walk freely in the jungle, crossing obstacles is like playing for them.

Chu Guang roughly estimated that the equipment of these people was at least 1.5 tons or even more than 2 tons, and it should be fusion battery power without accident.

He was operating the "Hummingbird" just now, flying around the power armor in front of him, without seeing any obvious fuel tank or battery structure. If it is powered by a fuel cell such as solid hydrogen, the fuel density can be made very high, but it is also impossible to such a level.

Obviously, the power armor worn by these people is high level goods!    If there is a conflict, it is estimated that the entire outpost, only the hammer behind him, can pose a certain threat to their armor.

Compared with these people, the green-skinned muscular guy on 76th Street is just a shit.

"Xiao Qi, you go back underground first."

Xiao Qi tilted the camera and looked at Chu Guang and asked.

"But is Master, it’s only the afternoon."

"It doesn’t matter what time, I’m not sure if the people outside are friends or enemies. If there is a conflict, I’m afraid I can’t take care of you. It’s safer to go down first."

"Although the master said that Xiao Qi is very happy, but Xiao Qi will not leave you behind and hide. Also. Yes, in fact, you don't need to be too nervous. Those people are probably also coming out of a certain shelter. It shouldn't be too embarrassing for us."

Chu Guang glanced at it in surprise.

"Can you see this?"

Xiao Qi said.

"Well, it's not necessarily true, but the electromagnetic rifle in their hands does look like a model of a pre-war standard weapon. And after they discovered our drone, they did not My drone shot down, but took the initiative to express kindness to us... If they came with hostility, there is always no need to do so. Master, what do you think?"

"Me? Me?" I don't know, but I generally don't place my hopes on the kindness of others."

After thinking for a moment, Chu Guang weighed the EMP grenade in his hand and slid it into his pocket.

Although it’s not clear how useful this thing is for power armor, it’s better than nothing.

Even if you can only paralyze the other party's electronic equipment for two seconds, you can get two more seconds to deal with.

Chu Guang will control the negotiation distance within 3 meters.

In this way, even if there is an accident, he can also use the nitrogen power hammer in his hand to teach the opposite party a profound lesson.

……

The north gate of the outpost.

Looking at the four iron bumps coming from a distance, the players at the North Gate Bazaar all showed expressions that they had never seen before.

"I am giao! What is that?"

"Is it the power armor on the official website!"

"Where did these NPCs come from? Yeah."

"A rational analysis. This game should have a setting to hide prosperity. When the prosperity reaches a certain level, it will attract wild NPCs to visit!"

"Their guns are so handsome...frankly, I want to buy them!"

"The price is at least 100,000 silver, buy them."

"Gan !"

The sisters of Qiucao and Qiuye, who were sitting in a stall in the market, also noticed the situation outside the market.

Looking at the four iron bumps coming towards the north gate, Qiuye blinked curiously.

"Elder sister, what is that? I feel that their armor is more beautiful than the manager's."

"I don't know... it seems to be called power armor," Qiucao nervous He took the younger sister's hand and embraced her in her arms, "Don't stare at them."

Obviously, these people don't know the blue coats around them.

A group of strangers with guns and live ammunition suddenly appeared at the door of the house. No matter what the circumstances, it cannot be assumed that they came with kindness.

Are you going to tell patriarch?   Qiu Cao thought nervously.

At that moment, a silhouette appeared at the north gate.

The manager who carried the long-handled Warhammer, surrounded by a few blue coats, walked out of the outpost.

Seeing the man walking here and following a Marine next to Lu Yang, he couldn't help teasing him in the communication channel.

"Did you see the hammer behind him? I have never seen such a strange weapon... By the way, is it a weapon?"

"Shut up."

Glancing warningly at the teammate beside him, Lu Yang put the weapon in his hand behind his back, raised his index finger to click on the side of the helmet, and put away the face mask covering his face to show his friendship.

"Are you from the refuge?"

"The manager of Vault 404, Chu Guang," stopped in front of the man, Chu Guang stared sharply. Staring at him and saying, "Are you who? Why are you here."

"Lu Yang, an employee of the company, works for the No. 1 Pioneer Corps of the Overseas Division of the Silver Wing Group. We are from far away. On the shore of Eastern Sea, we went to the west to find something. We didn’t have any bad intentions, we just happened to pass by here."

Chu Guang has heard of the term "enterprise". It is said to be a large Survivor stronghold. Some of its predecessors are said to be Refuge No. 6 and others say that it is Refuge No. 66. Their sphere of influence is very large, and it is said that they cover an entire province on the Eastern Sea coast.

However, due to its special expansion method, the company has very weak strength control over the "branch companies" within its sphere of influence. The assets that are truly completely controlled by the "companies" may be a larger than Boulder City. Stronghold of survivors.

Many caravans that are clearly not companies, or even merchants from the Eastern Sea at all, like to do business under the banner of a company.

As for the Silver Wing Group, it is probably a certain branch of the "enterprise". Maybe they have just set up to achieve a certain purpose. Chu Guang has never even heard of it anyway.

The straight-line distance from the Eastern Sea shore to the river valley province is thousands of kilometers, if the actual distance is farther, it may be tens of thousands of kilometers.

At such a long distance, any news may get distorted here.

In short, no matter who they are loyal to, they can walk from the banks of the Eastern Sea to the valley provinces, the equipment and strength of this group cannot be underestimated!    Although he was curious about what the "enterprise" was looking for in the west, Chu Guang knew that even if he asked, this person would not tell him 80%, so he didn't take the liberty to speak.

Staring at Lu Yang for a while, Chu Guang then asked.

"Is the thing you looking for in Qingquan City?"

Lu Yang shook the head said.

"Of course not. River Valley Province can only be regarded as the middle part of this continent at most, and the west we call is a place farther away than here."

There was a pause. , He looked at Chu Guang and continued.

"Open the skylight and speak up. Our troops are stationed in an open area about 10 kilometers away. If we can, we don’t want to stay here, but our Blazers came out a bit. In small situations, I can only come here for help."

Chu Guang: "What is the pioneer number?"

"You can understand it as our means of transportation. The predecessor was four SC-500 crawler transport platforms, but we modified them a bit, connected them together, and added some modular facilities suitable for long-distance travel. As for the specifics..." Lu Yang didn’t know what to do. How to describe it, I can only make a rough gesture with my hands, "Anyway, it's huge!"

"Crawler transportation platform?"

I was surrounded by his general description. Yes, Chu Guang couldn't help frowning, "Can you be more specific? For example, length and width or tonnage..." Lu Yang thought for a while and said in a positive tone.

"If the tonnage is about twelve thousand tons!"

"???"

What the hell? !   Twelve thousand tons? !   Chu Guang was stunned when he heard this number.

If he remembers correctly, the Gustav train gun is only 1,500 tons, right?

Even the crawler platform used to transport the giant rocket like "Saturn 5" has a total weight of only 3,000 tons, and a total load of only 8,000 tons...

Twelve thousand tons!

Is this driving the cruiser to land?

Chu Guang did not ask whether this 12,000 tons is the net weight or the maximum load. Anyway, no matter what it is, this number has exceeded his cognition.

It's hard to imagine how such a big guy "navigated" on the wasteland.

Anyway, it's definitely not burning oil.

From the shock came back to his senses, Chu Guang took a deep breath and looked at Lu Yang who looked expectant and shook the head.

"Sorry to let you down. Although there are some engineers in our refuge... But the kind of thing you said is obviously beyond their ability. I am afraid I can't help with this. You guys!"

Not to mention it is beyond the scope of ability.

For his little players, this tonnage of transportation can only be understood by game settings.

Chu Guang suddenly became a little curious about what this thing looks like.

If possible, he would like to take a photo and post it on the official website.

Seeing that the manager had misunderstood what he meant, Lu Yang waved his hand and explained.

"no no no, my friend, you misunderstood! We are not asking you for technical help. We have our own engineers and production tools. We know how to repair damaged parts. But the problem is that we don’t have enough manpower, and the reserves of materials and energy are about to bottom out."

To sum up, is there a shortage of people, minerals and electricity?   But I am lacking too!

Chu Guang looked at him and asked cautiously.

"So what is your proposal?"

Lu Yang said in a sincere tone: "We hope you can lend us some manpower to help us gather nearby resources that can be used. Apart from this, we also need a guide who is familiar with the terrain in this area! We know where to find what we need! Of course, we will not let you help us in vain, we will pay."

Upon hearing the word remuneration, Chu Guang finally became interested in his topic.

And listening to what he meant, they seemed to know where to find the fuel for nuclear fusion?

That's a good thing!

With a happy smile on his face, Chu Guang stretched out his right hand.

"Of course it’s okay, my friend, helping others is the noblest virtue!"

"But this snow, it looks like it’s getting bigger and bigger. If it’s convenient, Please follow me in and talk."
