This Game Is Too Realistic

"Roar--!!"

In the center of Qingquan City, the desolate and dilapidated streets were shrouded in gray-green fog, creating a desolate and desolate scene.

A monster covered in bruises was struggling furiously, but the iron hand covered with scarlet bacteria on its head remained motionless.

The crack in the center of the helmet was filled with a penetrating red light, like a devil's pupils.

Out of fear and awe of it, the noisy Bipeds call it the "Enter Body" or the "Knight of Decay."

However, for the mother nest that controls every slime mold cell in this city, one of these tiny billions is just an insignificant atom that constitutes its existence, and does not need to have its own name at all.

Thea is actually the same.

But unlike other slime molds, He put extra effort into creating Thea.

Your mother's body not only inherited the essence and nutrients he accumulated through two hundred years of research and study on the road to progress, but also inherited his will.

At the same time, it, called Thea, also carries more of His expectations——

That is, spreading the footprints of the ethnic group to more distant places.

Spread to places that His tentacles cannot yet reach!

The "little guy" who mistakenly entered the territory was still struggling in vain, roaring, trying to disobey the achievements of his two centuries of progress with his savage muscles.

He silently stared at the unopened organism. He did not instruct one of his billions to devour it and digest it as usual. Instead, he glanced down at Thea, who was standing in the middle of the dilapidated street.

"Eat it."

Pheromones are spread through spores that fuse together.

Sensing the call from her mother, Thea nodded slowly, and then raised the scarlet tentacles that were like mud.

The tentacles are like its arms.

The cilia at the end gave out a silent call, creating invisible ripples in the ocean of spores.

The gray-green color began to gather towards the furry bear-shaped beast, wrapping around its body and becoming increasingly dense.

"Roar!!!"

The monster's face began to show panic, and it struggled more and more fiercely. Its thick-haired muscles swayed like a twisting caterpillar, trying to break free from the hand holding its head.

Thea just looked at it, and then gently squeezed the "hand" stretched forward.

The thick gray-green fog spread out a few inches in an instant, and the monster's chest suddenly expanded, and its eyes bulged out.

It panted desperately, but its body became heavier and heavier uncontrollably, until finally its body completely lost strength, and could not even resist the gravity on its shoulders, and finally stopped struggling to resist.

A wisp of gray mist drifted from the gap in the helmet, and the Decay Knight released his hand holding its head and stepped aside like a real knight.

"Very silly."

Looking at Thea, who had mastered her own power, He showed a happy smile, and the spores in the entire city slowly fluctuated with the frequency of joy like ocean waves.

His child has fully mastered the ability to take away the breath of its prey, and it will be stronger than its last child.

He seemed to have seen those weak organisms running away, chased by the young homosexual fighters.

Thea stared at the tentacles—or rather arms—that she stretched forward, and spoke after a moment.

"My body couldn't breathe and I felt their screams."

The spores that permeate the surroundings and the fruiting bodies controlled by it are all part of its body, and are also the conductors and carriers that carry its consciousness.

He spoke softly to the confused child.

"Don't worry, my boy."

"The same goes for your enemies. Those weak pieces of flesh are like the prey under your feet. They must keep breathing at all times to stay alive. You can bear much more than them. You are more adaptable to the land under your feet than they are. Land, this world ultimately belongs to those who can adapt to it.”

"Now, eat it."

Thea nodded slowly, and her skirt-like lower limbs wriggled forward, moving to the side of the unconscious monster.

The open hem of the skirt was like a bloody mouth, opening a gap against the outline of the ground.

Countless scarlet tentacles rushed out from the gap, like slender leeches that instantly pricked the monster into a hedgehog. While drilling through the skin and draining the blood, the remaining organic nutrients were also involved in it. inside the body.

The surrounding spores fluctuated with pleasant frequencies. The decayed knight standing aside lowered his head, but the scarlet light in his eyes became brighter.

At this moment——

The slime mold fruiting bodies throughout the ruins witnessed the "coronation" of a king and cheered for its surrender.

Except for a certain outlier.

Feeling the bloodlust flowing in the air, I couldn't help but hold my breath, not daring to make a "sound".

Fortunately, it does not rely on spores to transmit information, and other mutant slime molds cannot recognize or sense its existence.

Otherwise, there is no need to doubt that those guys will kill this heretic in his infancy at any cost...

…

The official website of "Wasteland OL" and the forum are as lively as ever today.

This is all because of a new server announcement.

[Server Announcement: "The Return of the Tide" expansion pack is released! 】

[Introduction: Spring is here and it is the breeding season for animals, and asexually reproduced slime molds are no exception.

In the past, we naively thought that the mother nest was formed by a natural mutation after the spore concentration exceeded the threshold. However, more and more evidence shows that the mother nest is born from the mother's body, and the mother's body is hatched from the old mother's nest. form.䜥㳓’s mother inherited not only the genes of the old mother nest, but also the experience of fighting against us. Combined with the influence of the warm winter, this wave will probably be more violent than in previous years!

According to the forecast from the Institute of Biology, the wave is expected to come around March 1st, the in-game time! Players please be prepared!

This may be the most severe test since the launch of the server! 】

[Event rewards: Completing event tasks and killing the target will give you event points as rewards. Points can be exchanged for limited equipment and titles, and you can also participate in the final lottery! There are rich rewards in the prize pool, including not only mysterious props that even the planners don't know about, but also many expensive prizes such as DLZJ-1 "Xiaguang" power armor! Everyone is welcome to participate! 】

It's been more than half a month.

"Wasteland OL" has once again launched a full expansion pack after "Operation Fire Fighting".

Such an astonishing update speed really shocked the attention of many players.

Just as Chu Guang expected, immediately after the announcement was issued, there was an earthquake of magnitude 18 on the official website, and the discussion of the expansion pack instantly topped the list of hot topics among players and cloud players.

"Holy crap! Beta 0.6 is here!"

"I remember that during the Alpha 1.1 version, Tide was just a sub-project of the server update? Changed the skin and it became an expansion pack?!"

"This activity is too perfunctory!"

"Bad review! It's worse than the P agency that copied the MOD and the CA that raised the price of plasma!"

"Brother Guang, rather than being my father, give me a helmet! T.T"

"Thirty thousand helmets in two years. This production capacity is so unreasonable. Aguang, can you do it?"

"I don't think this is Brother Guang's fault. Could it be that the cows and horses in the factory are lazy? Come to our village to open a factory! I'll ask the village chief to help you recruit people!"

"You'd better come to our place, I'm the village chief, and I'll bring my people to work for you for free!"

"I'll let you do it for nothing!"

"???"

"Damn it, brother, you're a bit harsh!"

"Pass it down, someone wants to fuck Brother Guang."

"Crazy, all crazy!"

"Trash! What about the broken helmet? I laughed and the dog didn't even play with it!"

Chu Guang, who was sitting in the browsing room, browsed around on the official website, laughing and saying nothing. He had long been used to the teasing of these guys.

However, one thing is that the alliance already has a population of one million, and this number is still growing. In comparison, the issuance speed of 50 to 100 closed beta qualifications per day is indeed a bit unable to keep up with the development needs of the alliance.

Counting the closed beta qualifications that have been issued, he currently only has 30,000 accounts. Even if all are issued, players will account for less than 3% of the total population.

Although this number sounds like a lot, when spread across a series of items in various regions of the alliance, this manpower seems to be somewhat insufficient.

Chu Guang suddenly realized that he was just like playing a SLG game of kneading noodles. When he was short of food, there was no shortage of people, and when there was no shortage of food, he started to be short of people again. When there is no shortage of both, the shortage of land begins. When the land is gone, the shortage of people begins.

"...If we solve the brood nest in the city center, I don't know if we can unlock your floor."

Your "activation code" should be released by then, right?

Looking at the little leeks "waiting for food" on the holographic screen, Chu Guang couldn't help but reveal a faint smile on his face.

Don't be in a hurry.

Everyone has the opportunity to be a leek!

Everyone will have it!

At this moment, Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the pen holder, suddenly raised his head and said in a voice that sounded like Tuo's.

"Master, your little player has arrived at the Second Ring Road in the city center!"

Chu Guang's heart moved, and he closed the web page on the holographic screen with his index finger.

"Turn the screen over to them."

Xiaoqi gave a playful military salute and said energetically.

"receive!"

…

Immediately after the event news was released on the official website, two "Viper" transport planes took off from the apron of Shuguang City. After a period of navigation, they arrived at the edge of the Qingquan City Ring Road and slowly hovered over an abandoned building.㱕Next to the roof of a skyscraper.

A dozen gnawers with slumped shoulders sat in a daze on the roof of the building, while a crawler with long arms and legs lurked among the abandoned water tanks and ventilation pipes, watching with vigilance the two flames flying next to the tall building.

"The enemy units have been marked. A total of nineteen gnawers, one crawler, evolved bodies and other high-threat targets were found."

"Prepare to attack."

"Collect it."

A Viper transport plane crossed the nose of the plane and aimed its side cabin machine gun at the roof, ready to provide fire support at any time.

Another hovering "Viper" transport plane quickly came forward and flew directly to the top of the building, a distance of less than five meters.

The crawler under the shadows hissed and growled, its thick and powerful limbs began to bend, and it was ready to attack.

But it doesn't know that the players flying in the sky have already seen it.

Before it could gather enough strength to leap up, a large black shadow fell from the sky, dragging a scorching red light and hitting it straight.

Before the crawler could react to what happened, a dull, unedged ax struck it in the face, followed by a burst of sparks that split open its body smoothly.

Before he even had time to make a scream, the unlucky crawler turned into mud and covered the ground, and then there was a muffled sound of feet hitting the ground.

A total of ten soldiers wearing exoskeletons have completed their deployment. They have pulled the bolts of their guns and loaded them, opened the safety and raised the muzzle.

Pay attention to the movement coming from the side. One after another, the gnawers raised their heads, and the turbid pupils were gradually stained with a layer of bloodthirsty scarlet.

They moved their frozen legs, opened their rotten cracks, and roared like hiccups at the landing soldiers.

"Well--"

He shook off the black slime on the axe, and when he hung it on the power armor, he waved his hand before it landed cleanly on the ground.

"Fire."

As soon as those understated words fell, thick and long tongues of fire turned the top of the mist-filled building into a sun.

Amidst the burst of gunfire, nineteen gnawers on the roof rushed up from the stairwell, and more than a dozen of them were beaten into pieces in an instant.

According to the plan, the ten players were quickly divided into two teams.

One team quickly searched every corner of the roof to confirm that no slime mold fruiting bodies were left behind, while the other team quickly advanced to the entrance of the stairwell and pushed a steel plate slightly wider than the door towards the door. He went up, pulled out the safety bolt, and punched the red button.

With a series of "bang" explosions, steel nails were driven into the concrete wall, and the steel plate was firmly embedded in the door.

That alone is not enough.

Several players took out their electric drills, steel bars, and welding guns, and reinforced the door panel on the embedded wall, inserting a layer of "well"-shaped steel bars on the outside.

The sound of banging against the door came from behind the steel plate that sealed the entrance to the stairwell, but the steel plate was still embedded there, motionless.

Not to mention dozens of gnawers, not even the Tyrant can hit this thing. Now that they have taken control of the stairwell, Team B has put down their weapons and turned off the safety. Team A has already completed its mission and spread out at the four corners of the building, guarding against alien species with flying capabilities flying over to harass them.

Although we are deep into an area occupied by mutant slime mold, neither the players nor the NPCs show excessive nervousness.

As the Alliance's Biological Research Institute continues its in-depth investigation, the Alliance now has more and more secrets about the mutant slime mold.

In the past, conclusions were reached based solely on experience or even conjecture, but now they are supported by more scientific and rigorous theories.

Every slime mold fruiting entity in Qingquan City is connected to the mother's nest consciousness, but this does not mean that the mother's nest can monitor the situation of each child entity all the time, just like the alliance manager cannot keep an eye on every child entity all the time. Like players, the best thing to do is to call up the VM or official website records when necessary.

The same goes for slime mold mother nests.

Most of the non-climate and passive threats will be dealt with in sub-machine rooms such as "incubation rooms". Only when unrecognizable organisms invade the territory on a large scale will the mother nest be directly alerted.

Just like now.

At most, the mother nest in the city center will only feel that a few little flies have landed on it, just like usual, and will never think that what these few little flies are doing may threaten its own life.

Looking at the packed equipment in the cabin and a staff member wearing protective clothing, almost strapping himself to the seat with a seat belt, Jiang Xuezhou finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and spoke.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing the unfamiliar expression on this guy's face, Ye Shi sat aside and raised the corners of his mouth proudly.

"You don't understand this. We plan to wait until the wave is busy to send a little alliance shock to the big guy in the city center... The shock is ready, and now is the preparation stage."

Jiang Xuezhou looked confused.

What the hell?

Without explaining in detail, Ye Shi glanced at her and continued.

"By the way, what are you doing here with us? Aren't you here to help us get rid of that Naguo thing?"

Compared with the existence of the "self-limiting" mother nest, the disorderly expansion and the manifestation of fruits alarm the fallen empire in the north.

Ye Shi still remembers clearly that Jiang Xuezhou and her mentor who never showed his face were here to help them solve problems related to fruit collection.

As for Qingquan City's Mother's Nest, it is not within their scope of work.

Regarding Ye Shi's question, Jiang Xuezhou coughed lightly and said seriously.

"According to our analysis of the samples, there is a large amount of DNA in the gene library of the Nagobacter strain that is highly compatible with the mutant slime mold from Qingquan City. It can be basically concluded that this biological weapon is based on the mutant slime mold from Qingquan City... I The instructor suspects that the residents of Vault 117 have explored the ancient battlefield in the center of Qingquan City. There may be clues we need there. Don't worry, I have applied with your manager, and he has approved me as an accompanying researcher. Participate in wave-related actions.”

According to her observation, the residents of the alliance have extraordinary respect for the manager, and even worship them. Many people talk about that guy at every turn and wish him a long life.

She had no interest in that person, but since she was on his territory, she still showed some respect as the Romans did.

What she didn't expect was that someone didn't care about the rest of her words at all, but focused on a certain inconspicuous detail.

"Wait a minute, you said the residents of Shelter 117 might have been to the city center?!" Ye Shi stared at Jiang Xuezhou in surprise, with an expression on his face as if he had discovered a new world.

"I……"

Realizing that he had spilled the beans, Jiang Xuezhou thought to himself that it was bad. He was about to open his mouth and close it, but looking at the exaggerated expression on that guy's face, he quickly realized that this might not be that good. Fool it over.

"I, I never said..." Out of a guilty conscience, she added in a superfluous tone and added in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense."

Ye Shi chuckled and gave her an "I understand" look.

"Don't worry, I understand, I understand, you never said it."

Good guy!

Another contribution point from prostitution!

When he just woke up from the Iron Heart recently, he received a task on the task bar, asking him to serve as a bodyguard for a D-class researcher visiting the Alliance, and report what he heard from her. College information.

Based on the value of the intelligence, the alliance will reward him with contribution points. Ye Shi still remembers the envy and hatred in Fang Chang's eyes when the group talked about it that day.

Seeing that Ye Shi clearly didn't understand, Jiang Xuezhou suddenly became anxious.

"I really didn't say that! Don't talk nonsense. If you spread it to my mentor's ears, I will be dead. I am really dead..."

Ye Shi: "Don't worry, our managers are very strict with their mouths."

Jiang Xuezhou: "???"

After just a few words between the two of them, the battle on the roof of the skyscraper was over.

Standing next to the crawler corpse, the old man reached out and tapped the side of his tactical helmet, then changed the command channel.

"The landing area is under control and ready for deployment."

There was a rustling sound and a clean sound coming from the communication channel.

"Collect it."

When the words fell, two "Viper" transport planes landed one after another towards the roof of the skyscraper, and the hot plasma plume blew away the thick residual snow and dust.

After the fuselage came to a stop, ten staff members wearing chemical protective suits, gas masks, and oxygen tubes on their backs also landed on the roof.

Along with the deployment, there is also a communication radio, an air detection equipment, and a paraglider bag disassembled into parts, etc.

The Alliance's Institute of Biology will calculate the approximate location of the mother nest in the city center based on changes in spore concentration and activity trajectories of slime mold fruiting bodies during the wave.

As long as it can obtain an approximate coordinate, the alliance can directly send ground troops there. Under the cover of "Dragon" missiles and 400mm naval gun firepower, it can carry out a surgical precision strike on the mother nest in the city center!

Even if that guy is hiding in a nuclear bomb crater or a nuclear bunker and can withstand the bombing of conventional weapons, he will definitely not be able to prevent the Burning Corps from bursting out.

The Alliance will take advantage of this turbulent wave to end once and for all the threat that has plagued Qingquan City for two centuries.

Lao Ji was full of confidence in this.

It doesn't matter if the current wave is different from the past. After all, the current alliance is no longer the original alliance.

The survivors in Qingquan City no longer have to fight alone, and they don't even have to face the threat of waves alone. The survivors in Luoxia Province will provide them with a steady stream of food, while the survivors in Dawn City will provide them with weapons and steel.

Not only the NPCs are united.

The scale and quality of players are also comparable to those of earlier versions.

If he remembered correctly, the manager at the time didn't seem to be at level 10.

Now the average level of the entire Burning Corps has exceeded this number, and he himself has reached LV43.

In terms of strength alone, among all the players in the entire server, I am afraid that only the "inappropriate" guy Trash Brother can compete with him.

As for the attribute, it is combat experience.

Each of them is a veteran who has experienced many battles.

"Come on."

Looking at the strange and changeable gray-green thick fog in the distance, he felt that the fighting spirit in his heart was burning like a flame, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but grin.

"Let's see what new job A Guang has prepared!"

(Thanks to the leader of "Chengfu or Chengfu" for the reward!!!)
