This Game Is Too Realistic

2021-12-13

  Chapter 260 Engineers from the EnterpriseIn the   mud.

The iron bumps in the nest suddenly twitched like an electric shock.

With both hands on the ground, before it can get up from the ground, a gun has reached the back of its head.

"Don't move."

Xu Shun stared at this guy intently, ready to fire at any time.

"How to get to... Beijiao." The dull voice floated out from under the armor intermittently, making people wonder if he could only say this.

"What the hell is this guy?" Yu Xiong frowned, staring at this weird man covered with steel plates. "Is he a human?"

"I don't know. "

Xu Shun knelt down to check the man's armor, and found that the helmet was welded to the breastplate.

More than that, the connecting parts of the breastplate steel plates are all riveted, with a neat row of hexagonal rivets, and there is no opening mechanism at all.

Then the question is coming.

What should I do if I shit?    "I can't take it off." Shun shook the head, Xu Shun stood up, took a look at the VM, and said, "I'll leave it to the manager to judge."

If you say Mr. Manager, yes. There is a way.

Yu Xiong nodded, found two guards over and looked at this guy, and then went to the prisoner's side.

A total of four prisoners.

In addition to six ran away, a total of fifteen people were killed in the melee.

Including their leader-the man named Wu Qiu.

After interrogation, I learned that these people are mercenaries in Boulder City, but they are not part of the mercenary group. They are temporary workers who usually don't get serious work.

As for why you can't get the job, there are different reasons for each.

Yu Xiong didn't care about these, but ordered people to tie their hands and feet, rush to squat by the wall, and wait for the manager to come.

The situation of the players and the guards is quite optimistic. Because of the timely support, there is nothing serious except a slight injury.

Including the guy who was shot in the leg.

The bullet passed through his leg fortunately, without hurting the bones, nor the arteries. The probability of falling disability is not great.

However.

He was injured like this, and he was still an ordinary person who hadn’t awakened. He probably had nothing to do with the profession of mercenary for the rest of his life.

From the small alley, Roshan Da Momo buried his head in shame, wishing to find a crack in the ground to get in.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I was scared as soon as the gunfire..."

"It's okay, little problem." Sisi patted Great White Bear on the shoulder, comfortingly said.

The tail touched the chin analysis and said: "Is it because there is something missing on the back? It feels like I was quite brave when I was at the experimental base last time."

Sisi was slightly surprised, and then seriously recalled, looked thoughtful and nodded.

"Hey, maybe it's really possible."

"Don't be discouraged! This place is too small to use, I will definitely ride you next time!"

Flesh: "Wait, wait, I always feel something is wrong—"

Sisi: "Illusion."

Tail: "Yes! It must be Your illusion!"

Flesh: "???"

On the other side, with the help of Fujito and Sesame Paste, the crow jammed by half of the wall is finally Break free from the pile of broken concrete.

"Damn..."

Taking off the helmet stuck on the breastplate with great effort, Yaya shook his groggy head and muttered, "Just now The internet is bad for me."

"Are you really okay?" Fujito looked worriedly at the breastplate that was almost dented, whispered, "Or...you Go back and save a file."

"No need, don’t worry, I’m okay!"

Shaking the confused head that was hit, Yaya posed her self Thinking of a reliable smile, he gave a thumbs up, "Don't worry Fujito, I will surely deliver you safely!"

Fujito held his forehead with a headache.

"How can I feel relieved by you..."

Yaya: "Hey! You woman, are you not touched?"

Fujito looked away delicately.

"A little bit."

What do you say.

Although it is an MMORPG, it feels pretty good to be protected.

Looking at the two who are in a good relationship, Sesame Paste said in a low voice: "By the way, who is the one who helped us just now?"

Yaya was stunned. Down.

"Yes, I remember it when you said it."

Fujito: "Maybe... It's Xia Boss?"

Yaya was surprised Looked towards her.

"Xia Boss?!"

"Um, I guessed it."

Fujito silently pointed to a street corner not far away.

A power armor painted with Zhan blue and a vigorous silhouette are walking towards this side from the end of the golden-plated street by the setting sun.

Behind Xia Boss, he was carrying an LD-47s with a scope-the "Scythe" semi-automatic rifle.

The cat's ears moved lightly, and a surprised expression appeared on the sesame face.

"manager?"

"en."

Fuji Fuji nodded, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"It seems to have triggered the plot."

……

Qian Lai, who was previously hidden next to the two-headed cow, patted the dust on his clothes from the alley. When I walked out, I just ran into Chu Guang coming from the west.

Qian Lai's face showed a surprised expression. It was obvious that he didn't expect to encounter this great character from the northern suburbs here.

"Manager...sir?"

Chu Guang looked at him and said.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm okay, thanks to your subordinates, otherwise we may lose more than one cow today."

Qian Lai admitted that he had been rash before.

The strength of these people is not weak.

Although it seems unreliable, their insight and battle strength are much stronger than he imagined.

"You should tell them this sentence."

Chu Guang nodded, moved towards The strange man in armor walked over.

Beside the armored man, Xu Shun and two guards watched.

Until Chu Guang walked in front of him, he was sitting against the wall, repeating the sentence like a repeater in his mouth.

"How to get to... the northern suburbs."

"This is the northern suburbs, and I am the manager here," Chu Guang said, looking down at it, "explain your intentions."

Responding to this sentence, the man in the armor slowly raised his head and hugged the helmet with his hands.

Chu Guang caught a glimpse of scarlet from the leaky mask.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

He always felt that these eyes looked familiar.

At this moment, with a sudden "click", the weird man in the armor removed the helmet from the breastplate.

Seeing his face clearly, Chu Guang was taken aback.

Xu Shun and the guards who were standing aside changed their faces wildly, and quickly raised the rifle in their hands and aimed them at the rotten head.

"It's a creeper! Your lord!"

"Wait a minute!"

Raising his hand to stop the guards who were about to shoot, Chu Guang stared There was a hint of curiosity in the scarlet's eyes and rotten face.

"Your name?"

It's really strange.

Can the slime bacteria alien species actually speak human words? The   rotten face gasped lightly, and there was no rational color in scarlet's pupils.

Chu Guang was a little disappointed in his heart.

However, just when he was about to give up this meaningless thing, the rotten face suddenly opened his mouth slowly.

"B...Batch."

Seeing this guy speak human's words, the guards standing around were shocked.

Including Xu Shun.

Although there are some alien species that can speak humans in the outpost, they are all refuge technology, pets in blue coats in his cognition.

And such a wild alien species-and a slime mold alien species, unexpectedly opened his mouth and said human words, he had never heard of such an outrageous thing!   "Batch?" Chu Guang stared at him and asked, "Your name is Bach?"

The man slowly nodded.

"Yes."

Chu Guang frowned.

This name...

It sounds familiar.

……

"The analysis results are out."

Refuge No. 404, B3 floor.

Medical laboratory.

Heya, who came out of the laboratory, expertly handed a screen modified from a VM to Chu Guang's hands, which was filled with a series of test results including blood tests.

As the expert in the refuge who has the most say in alien species, the person who hopes to figure out what happened to this "Batch" man is probably only this silver-haired SSSR.

However, Chu Guang couldn't understand what was written on the tablet.

"What the hell is he?" Taking a look pretendingly, Chu Guang returned the tablet to Heya.

Heya explained patiently.

"Variety slime mold infection, and the erosion rate is as high as 67%. This situation is quite rare, because according to my research results, the relationship between the slime mold heterogeneous species and other organisms should be a predator. Do you remember Well, creepers are the fruiting bodies of slime molds."

Chu Guang nodded, indicating that he still remembers it.

"What about him?"

Heya: "Symbiosis."

Chu Guang was slightly stunned.

"...Symbiosis?"

Heya sighed, her forehead with her hands around her chest.

"I don’t think much about popular science knowledge... In short, he is now about half human and half turned into slime mold. At first the slime mold ate most of his organs, but I don’t know why he suddenly decided Let him survive, so it derives into a fruit body with similar organ functions, replacing his original organ."

The fruit body evolved from the mutant slime mold can imitate the behavior and characteristics of the swallowed organism , Such as gnaws, creepers, martyrs, and even tyrants.

However, after the organ is eaten, it is rare to replace the original organ and form a symbiotic relationship with the host.

Even summer salt, who talks about urban legends, is unheard-of.

Chu Guang pinched the center of his eyebrows.

"That means he only has one brain left?"

"Perhaps three-quarters?" Heya hesitated for a moment, thinking for a moment, "The slime mold infection is It stopped after reaching the cerebellum, and at least half of the spinal cord has been replaced by fruiting bodies formed by slime mold."

Chu Guang: "How long can he live?"

Heya: "I don't know, maybe I can live forever."

Chu Guang was taken aback for a moment.

"Always live?!"

Heya nodded.

"Well... because according to my research results, there is no Hayflick limit for mutant slime molds. Even with the passage of time, the organ functions formed by the fruiting bodies will be further improved, and their functions will be better than before. More powerful. Of course, there is another possibility. When these slime molds'feel' the host is no longer necessary, it might eat the rest of the brain."

" Wait a minute," Ba Qi, who was sitting next to the scanning bed, slowly raised his hand covered with steel, and said in a weak voice, "I am like this, is there any help?"

Chu Guang unexpectedly Take a look at this guy.

"Are you awake?"

He thought this guy could only say a few words.

"I injected him with an inhibitor to inhibit the activity of slime molds that invade the nervous system," Heya looked towards Bach sitting on the scanning bed, and continued, "Can you save me? Knowing to answer this question, if you want to completely restore the original appearance, it is probably impossible, but if you can accept the prosthetic transformation, you can completely remove the heterogeneous organ and replace it with a bionic prosthesis."

She is like that.

The bionic prosthesis can not only extend the lifespan, but also is far more reliable than the original organ of the organism. But Heya also knows that replacing overwhelming majority parts with technology is not acceptable to everyone.

Chu Guang coughed slightly.

"There is no black box for the production of bionic organs in Vault 404... Actually, from another perspective, isn't the organ in your body now considered a bionic organ? And it can still evolve actively."

Heya looked at Chu Guang in surprise, and after thinking for a while, nodded said.

"It's kind of a bit when you say that."

A painful expression appeared on Buggy's face.

"This feeling is not good at all."

Chu Guang: "Does it hurt?"

Buqi shook his head: "That's not true, don't Saying it hurts, I have lost my pain, and I don’t even feel that I’m still alive."

Chu Guang: "What exactly did you meet?"

Bachi was silent for a while. , Lightly sighed.

"Then it will be a long story..."

That was the winter of 211 Wasteland.

Batch, who is far away in Ideal City, has just received his graduation certificate and is planning a graduation trip, but at this moment, he received a letter from a good friend from afar.

Luo Hua described in the letter that in the far west, in the middle of the continental continent, there is a good place called Qingquan City.

There lived a nice group of people from Vault 404, which had just been unblocked. Recently, they have become permanent partners of the company.

Of course, the most important thing is that there is amazing food and culture there. Those blue coats master many cooking methods he has never seen before, and can even treat the alien meat that is difficult to swallow. Become a delicacy.

In Bach’s perception, this thing about food should be related to technology. Those wastelanders who can cook the food are already worthy of praise. What can they know if they don’t have enough food? Called delicious? Let alone culture.

But this letter still aroused Bach's interest. He happened to be bored in Ideal City to the point of getting moldy. Although life here is organized and regular like a code on a holographic screen, it is precisely because of this that the necessary errors are lacking.

So, with the instigation of a good friend, he set the destination of the "graduation trip" in the middle of the River Valley Province, and stepped into the western wasteland with the idea of ​​exploring the unknown.

However, what made him didn't expect was that this journey from the very beginning was full of successive accidents...

"...My father is a wine merchant, I initially followed the caravan sponsored by my father to the west of Yunjian Province. Since then, I have been on the road alone. I hired guards, guides, and doctors, and I was fully prepared to follow the trail of the Trailblazer. The traces moved forward, and everything went as planned. However, when I was passing by Yongdong City, there was an accident."

"There was no one there, it was like a dead city. Originally. The survivors’ settlements that should appear on the map, no one knows where they have gone. Out of caution, we plan to withdraw from the city. However, at this moment, we suddenly encountered thousands—perhaps tens of thousands. The siege of the eater."

Batch took a deep breath.

"I thought I was dead when I was thrown down by the eater, but when I woke up, I found that the eater around was gone...including my teammates. Me. I always thought it was a nightmare. Until I found a mirror, I realized that the real nightmare had just begun."

Batch's Adam's apple moved and continued.

"From then on, I became like this."

Heya and Chu Guang looked at each other in blank dismay and couldn't help but say.

"This is too weird."

Chu Guang nodded.

"Indeed."

When he heard the first half, Chu Guang had already figured out the identity of this Bach, who was Luo Hua on the previous Opener, and said To be introduced to his engineer friends.

However, Chu Guang still has several points of doubts in his heart for the second half of Bach's sentence.

Occasionally, players will be killed in the tunnel. This is not unusual, but he has never heard of any player being parasitized by the slime bacteria alien species.

As Heya said, the first reaction of the fruit body of slime mold to the captured prey is to eat it directly, turning it into a nutrient for producing spores.

It was the first time he heard that someone was turned into a "person" by slime mold.

Bach bitterly laughed and continued, lowering his head.

"In short, since then, the alien species seem to have lost interest in me. The slime mold alien species treats me like a similar species, and the mutant hyenas are not very hungry and they will not give me a mouth. My mouth can only eat one hand...or my legs. But it doesn’t matter, because I don’t feel the pain at all. The lost hands and legs will grow out slowly after a week or two, and they will be better than before. It’s stronger. The hyena can’t bite me anymore, and I’ve become the way I am now."

Severed limbs to regenerate? ! The   evolution of regenerative limbs? !   Fuck.

This ability is a bit awesome.

After listening to this guy's description, Chu Guang's face was full of surprise.

He bet that if there is a choice, I am afraid that many players are willing to exchange "life" with him. Apart from this "sequence" being a little ugly, he can hardly think of any weaknesses. As long as his head doesn't break, wouldn't he be able to live forever?

"Are you envious?"

"That's not..."

"No, I can feel it," Buggy shook the head, With a bitter expression on his face, he continued, “You don’t understand this feeling at all. I have never been to a human survivor’s colony since then, and I have seen people hiding far away. They don’t. Believe that I am a human being, even if I tell them this is an accident, they will drive me away."

Chu Guang: "...Then your armor is always impossible to make by yourself?"

Batch: "I ran into a slave vendor when I entered the river valley province."

Chu Guang: "Slave vendor?"

"Um," Bach nodded, "That guy was the only good person I came across on my way. He said he would take me to the wandering swamp and sell me to the Academy for research. I wondered if the Academy I can really understand what happened to me. It seemed good to be sold to Academy, so I followed him."

"That man found a blacksmith and made me a set of steel armor. I can easily enter the survivor’s settlement without attracting attention, but... the plan will never catch up with the changes. His slave hanged him on a tree because of some riots."

" I don’t know how to get to the Academy. I ask those slaves and they don’t know, they just want to go home, and I can only walk the rest of the way. At this moment, I suddenly remembered that Luo Hua and I said Qingquan. There is a place called Refuge No. 404 in the city, so I continued to go west, but my physical condition suddenly deteriorated as I walked, and my consciousness began to trance... It’s hard to describe that feeling, it's like There is a rope between my soul and my body."

Heya cut in.

"It should be that time. The slime mold has invaded the nerve system. I can perform a minor operation on you in a while to prevent the slime mold from spreading to the nerve system."

" Thank you," Baki took a deep breath, looked towards Chu Guang pleadingly, "Later, I only remembered the northern suburbs of Qingquan City, and then walked all the way here...this is all my experience. I don’t do it now. I know what to do, can you help me?"

"Of course I will help you. Your friend Luo Hua is also my friend. He helped me a lot. even more how You came across this kind of thing on the way to me, and I'm impossible to leave you alone." Chu Guang then looked towards Heya, "Apart from replacing the bionic organ, is there a way to restore him to his original state? "

Bionic organs are too expensive.

If you just change your eyes, hands and feet, if you change the whole set from blood vessels to skin, I am afraid that few rich people in Ideal City can stand it.

Many things are non-renewable resources. Just like nuclear fusion, there is more than one dimension difference between the words "usable" and "can be made."

Heya shook the head.

"His immune system has been completely replaced by the fruiting bodies of slime molds. Strictly speaking, it is not that he accepted those slime molds, but those slime molds allowed him to keep his brain and dominate the changed. A heterogeneous body. Instead of replacing the bionic organ, I actually recommend changing the body directly... How about putting the head in the petri dish first?"

Batch hugged his head in pain.

"Then I might as well die..."

Heya eyes shined, and she was about to encourage a few words, she interrupted Chu Guang lightly coughed when she saw her mind. This guy has almost reached his lips.

"I don't think changing the body of the machine will be more optimistic than the current situation. Anyway, you can live here for a while. You look like you and there is no other place to go."

paused, Chu Guang continued.

"By the way, you just talked about the graduation trip...What major are you in?"

Batch: "Materials Engineer."

Chu Guang happily said: "Materials engineer? How specific? What are you researching?" The expression on Buqi's face is a bit subtle.

"Carbon nano-direction...but you still don't expect too much of my professional ability, I may know more about wine and food."

His diploma It was mixed.

This kind of situation is not uncommon in Ideal City, especially for people like him who have no plans to engage in this business, and don't have to worry about the problem of wearing gangs.

Bucky originally planned to go back to inherit his father’s wine business after the trip, and open up markets outside Yunjian Province, but now let alone go back, he doesn’t even dare to let his father know himself. Become this ghost.

He can be sure that his father will not spend the wronged money to replace him with a mechanical prosthesis that cannot reproduce offspring, but will choose to regenerate one without the slightest hesitation.

"It doesn't matter, everything is from unskilled to skilled, what you lack is just a little experience, and I can just provide you with an internship opportunity," Chu Guang patted his shoulder excitedly, "As for Wine, don’t worry, we’re not just wine here, there’s more interesting things... So, can you still drink when you become like this?"

"Of course, my taste is still Normal..." Buqi whispered with a guilty conscience, "What are you going to let me do?"

Chu Guang did not answer. He reached out and clicked on the VM. After a while, footsteps came from outside the door, Yin Fang walked in from outside.

"What's the matter with me? I'm busy."

Yin Fang, who was standing at the door, had a clearly impatient expression on his face.

Recently, his players have recovered a lot of valuable information from the ruins, and he has been analyzing the valuable clues in those information.

When this guy is busy, he even eats in the laboratory. He probably hasn't bathed for a while. Not only has his hair messed up, but his beard hasn't been shaved.

But Chu Guang doesn't care about these.

"I will introduce you to a new employee, this is Buqi. Although...a little scary in appearance, he is a good person."

Yin Fang stared at Buqi. For a while.

"Creeper?"

There was a bitter expression on Bach's face.

"This was an accident. Am I...really like a creeper?"

Yin Fang's face was nodded weirdly.

"It's kind of."

Looking at Buqi who was depressed, Chu Guang coughed slightly.

"Don't judge people by their appearance... Also, this is the D-Rank prospector of Academy. Haven't you been looking for Academy? He is from Academy, although it is a thing of the past."

"Hello Mr. Bach," Yin Fang still stretched out his right hand, the bionic prosthesis from the Academy, "What is your specialty?"

" Brewing, and...know a little about the materials," Bach slowly raised his heavy steel arm, barely shook his hand, and added cautiously, "But I only know a little."

Yin Fang eyes shined.

"In terms of materials? Very good!"

Chu Guang looked towards him.

"Do you have any new discoveries?"

"Of course! It is part of the information about Zhongzhou Aerospace. Some data about the aerospace external equipment needs to be repaired. I just need a material Academic experts, this will greatly speed up the progress of my work." Yin Fang looked at Bach with joy, "Can I trust your professional ability?"

Bach actually wants to say no, Because he himself didn't really believe in his level, but the look full of expectation made him unable to say anything.

Since he became this ghost, everyone he met wanted him to roll away, as far as possible.

This is the first time that someone does not care about his face and says that he needs his help...

nodded, Bach said cautiously.

"Although I want to say that brewing and trading are more suitable for me, but...I can give it a try."

"Very good!"

Chu Guang patted the old man's shoulder with joy.

"Don’t worry, you will have a lot of time. In addition to work, you can of course also try those things that interest you. At the same time, we will do our best to find The way to go back."

Bachi smiled bitterly.

"I hope it."

He originally planned to use Vault 404 as the starting point for his journey.

But now it seems that my graduation trip seems to have ended early...

Academy, enterprise, Legion, and the old popsicles of refuge... NPC of refuge 404 The lineup is getting bigger and bigger.

Just when Chu Guang settled down with this friend from afar, ten iron horse 60 pan camel machines bought from Boulder City were finally delivered to the industrial zone of the outpost base.

Eight of them were sent to No. 81 Steel Plant, and two were sent to Goblin Technology.

According to the task received.

No. 81 Steel Plant needs to convert four of them into a large tractor capable of providing 60 horsepower within two weeks, and complete a set of towed four-row subsoiling planters for it.

Apart from this, there is also the irrigation canal on the north bank of Linghu Lake, and the mechanized mill needed by the granary. These will use two respectively.

Looking at the compact and well-designed equipment in front of me, the lone wolf who happened to be helping in the No. 81 Iron and Steel Plant showed a surprised expression on his face.

"Is this a pan-camel machine?"

Brother Toilet Suo and Brother Levin looked at each other, looking at him suspiciously.

"Is there any problem?"

The lone wolf shook the head.

"It’s nothing... I just think it’s rare."

Guo camel machines consume a lot of wood. They were basically eliminated in the 1970s. Only a few rural and remote areas are in use.

In his impression, the more common power is 8~12 horsepower, rarely above 20, let alone 60 horsepower, which is comparable to a monster with a fuel engine.

But...

This is quite a wasteland.

"The wood consumption of this thing is probably not small."

Brother Levine chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter, the most indispensable thing here is wood, from city to city. It’s everywhere outside. I cut a bunch when opening up wasteland, which just consumed a little!"

Brother Suo Suo agreed: "Yes! But we are also studying internal combustion engines recently."

The lone wolf said in surprise.

"Is there oil here?"

Brother Levine: "There is a crop that can produce oil in the setting."

Brother toilet cable: " That's right! Although we don't have any seeds, the manager said that he can help us borrow a little from the neighbor's house!"

It's okay to borrow a little.

The lone wolf looked towards that pot camel machine.

"Can I take it apart and study it?"

Brother Levine said readily.

"It's okay! Originally we planned to disassemble and study the structure inside."

"Yes!" Brother Suo was excited and nodded," the manager said that it can be dismantled, as long as it can Just put it back!"

There was a hint of excitement in the eyes of the lone wolf.

He is very curious.

To what extent can the developers of this epoch-making MMORPG be realistic in the details.
