This Game Is Too Realistic

  Chapter 89 and the Tiger's Skin (subscription required)

The snow is up, but the next thing is not stopping.

The north wind hu hu blows, the sou sou in the woods rustles, the woods outside the outpost are dark in the woods, every tree is like a person hidden behind, and every grass is like breathe.

The guards on the wall tensed one by one, fearing that they would be killed by the plot, just like the fisherman who was beaten up.

On the official website OB, it's too torturous.

Not only the players on duty are nervous, but Chu Guang is also nervous.

He has eaten two groups of people from the Bloodhand clan, and the other party is impossible to leave him alone. Even if he struggles with strength and great injury, he has to find the place.

However, the robber in the north has not moved. Chu Guang is always unsure. He wore an outer skeleton and sat upstairs for half the night. He didn't get down until after one o'clock in the morning. The second day did not sleep until eight or nine o'clock in the morning. get up.

Those players, one by one, are full of energy. They go online in shifts. The heavy snow seems to feel like they don’t feel anymore. They are not affected at all when they work.

I really envy it.

Anyway, my body is not my own, and I can't feel the pain beyond the limit. Even if my hands and feet are cold and unconscious, I eat some meat and carbohydrates, and I return to the incubation cabin and lie down for a few hours.

Of course, this is also the first time winter has come, and the coldest time has not yet arrived.

Don't say anything about minus ten degrees is not cold, go to the south and feel the magic attack? It doesn't need to be below zero, a single wind can blow half of your life.

"We should add a heating tube to this outer skeleton."

"Forget it, wait for them to make the armor lining."

Look Carriage of trucks of bricks from the warehouse into the industrial area, Chu Guang's face was filled with a smile, nodded with satisfaction.

Not bad.

These players are very sensible.

Brother Suo and Brother Levin, who got the budget, were too hard to spend money. As soon as they went online on the second day, they used the budget given by Chu Guang and bought 5000 bricks and 500kg cement directly in the warehouse. Under the envious gaze of a group of players, he pulled to the industrial area.

Since the Silver Coins used are all from the corporate account, it is enough to transfer the account directly to the ledger. Old Luca was already able to do this job skillfully, and Chu Guang didn't even bother about it.

As for the sand used for plastering, there is not much stock in the warehouse, and it is almost used up when repairing the walls.

But it’s okay. Spend some Silver Coin to rent a cart and hire two people to go to the abandoned construction site in the north. 1 Carriage of Silver Coin is counted as 5 cars per side, and a car of 9 cars or so is enough for the time being.

Anyway, once I went there, it was only 2 kilometers away. The road was not difficult to walk on flat ground. Many people were rushing to do this work.

There are piles of sand and stones, which are used to build 100-meter-high buildings. You can't tell what the variety is, but the quality of things that come to the pre-war era will not be poor.

Although part of the sand was washed into the foundation by the rain, the part buried in the soil on the surface alone was enough for them to use for many years.

To build a wall of 18 per square, 96 bricks, 10kg of cement, and more than 50kg of sand should be used.

A 20X10 steel factory, sealed up with 30,000 to 40,000 bricks, and four to five tons of cement, even if the warehouse is emptied, it will not be able to produce so many materials.

But it doesn't matter.

There is no need to pay attention to the waste soil. It is really impossible to paste up the north wall first, then pick up some scrap metal and plastic sheds, and build a semi-open factory building with a "same" shape. The materials Directly save more than half.

Wasteland, it should have the atmosphere of wasteland. The shack that Chu Guang used to be on Beit Street, even a pound of cement is useless, and it can live in people.

That is called post-revelation style.

At least the two factory directors, Brother Suo Suo and Brother Levin, don't care.

The most urgent task is to first make the steel-making converter, then use scrap metal to smelt and cast two rolls, and then create a powerful armor for the great manager!

This is their top job right now.

In addition to hiring two people to transport sand, they also hired three players who had worked on the construction site to help build the walls and build the base of the converter.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

However, compared with the smooth progress of the "No. 81" Iron and Steel Plant, the progress of the Niu Ma Brick Factory is not so smooth.

Old Bai and Fang Chang, who were a step slower to go online, were dumbfounded as soon as they arrived at the warehouse.

Good fellow, where's the pile of building materials?

Yesterday there was a pile of such a high pile, this one was sold out on the line? !    "Gan!"

"Why do they move so fast?!"

"Tsk, they made a mistake."

"People who carry buckets are professional Well... forget it, brothers don’t panic, let’s go to investigate the terrain first and then find a way."

The four of them selected in the warehouse, and finally only bought a wooden cart and land reclamation. His shovel, axe, and hatchet set off under the heavy snow with four people's dry food.

It's not that they want to save money for the shelter.

But there is really money that can’t be spent...

By the way, since corporate accounts can only be used in warehouses, it’s not possible to buy guns at a weapon store. .

In order to verify, Fang Chang made a special trip to try, but the weapon shop Lady Boss didn't bother to care about him, and had no choice but to give up.

The snow outside the outpost was heavy, and the north wind was blowing sou sou.

Ye Shi, who was holding the iron-barreled rifle in his hand, bared his teeth, freed his arms and wiped the snow hanging on his bangs and eyebrows, and whispered.

"The wind is so big, so exaggerated at the end of September, as for?"

Old Bai is optimistic, hehe said with a smile.

"It is estimated that it is to test whether the weather system is stable, right? It is not a plan for whether it will snow in the game world? It is not surprising that it snows in summer."

Fang Changzhu He reminded him of the only perception system in the team.

"You still have to be careful, we are now in the war with the Bloodhand clan. Although this river is in the wetland park, it is not far from the north gate. If robber sneak attack, we I'm afraid it's the first one to catch the enemy."

Ye Shi grinned horns.

"Fear of a der! In the forest, our home court! When the robber comes, I will go up one-hiss, not strong, there seems to be someone in front of us."

" Groove? Really?!"

Although Ye Shi is not very reliable, this guy's perception is currently the highest among all players.

Received Ye Shi’s alert, the other three players dared not hesitate, and hurriedly threw the pallet down, and the copy guys scattered around.

It's not the first time they team up to hunt.

This is not the first time I have faced robber.

Ye Shi leaned against the tree, his usual frivolous expression was gone, only seriousness and alertness remained.

I saw him poking out his head carefully, his gaze scanned a circle along the snowy forest, his eyes suddenly locked in one place.

Showing a rough direction with his hands, Ye Shi threw a positive look at the other three teammates.

"Outflanking the past."

"Understanding."

The outermost Old Bai acted first, and the four people proceeded in a quadrangle with a tacit understanding. Scattered and surrounded in the past.

Ten meters.

Fifteen meters.

Twenty meters! In   the vast snow and fog, a sneaky silhouette finally emerged.

The man is wearing a gray coat, a thick felt hat on his head, an iron-barreled rifle on his back, and the brim of the hat that is constantly being blown by the wind with his right hand. , While moving towards the outpost.

It's not a good thing at first sight!

Fang Chang made a judgment immediately. Before the man had spotted them, he immediately drew the bowstring, hit an arrow, aimed at the man's right arm, and snapped the string to loosen it.

Just listen to an air-splitting sound.

The man had no time to react, so he was shot in the thigh with an arrow, and fell to the ground with a howl of pain.

"Don’t move if you don’t want to die!"

Old Bai rushed up first, kicked off the gun he was holding, and aggressively placed the javelin on his head on.

The man was terrified and screamed, not knowing what he was talking about.

Fang Chang suggested.

"Let's score someone and take him back."

"I'll do it."

The wind raised the crossbow in his hand.

Although it is an intelligence system, this thing crossbow does not require too many attribute bonuses.

The other three are also very at ease about Gale, and have no opinion.

Old Bai returned to the cart, found the rope to tie up the man, and poked his back with a javelin as a threat.

"If you dare to escape, we will take off your other leg!"

After all, regardless of whether the person understood or not, Old Bai handed him over to the wind There, watching the limping prisoner under the strong wind, moved towards the outpost and moved away.

……

Watching the cattle and horse squad leave the outpost earlier, Chu Guang saw that it was too early, so he went to the warehouse and chopped off a crab leg and looked for it in the former nursing home. Bake it in a room.

In this snowy weather, the food is not that easy to rot, and this crab leg can be eaten for two or three days without any problem.

This stuff is high-quality protein, so you should eat this stuff for muscle gain.

Chu Guang is now idle every day, just walking in the outer skeleton without turning on the power, or doing push-ups and bench presses with a nitrogen power hammer on his back.

Every time I finish practicing, I go to the bathroom to take a shower. I dry the changed clothes. When I have a meal, I can make some food by myself. My little days are better than when I was on Beit Street. Too much comfortable.

Although the training marks on his body are not obvious, and the attribute panel has not changed due to exercise, he can still clearly feel that his strength and muscle coordination have a small margin. promote.

Chu Guang speculates that the data scanned and summarized by the physical examination equipment mainly measures the "basic hardware" of the body, and exercise may provide an efficiency bonus to the hardware in the form of BUFF.

Such as "strength + 3%" or "strength + 5%".

The greater the base value of the attribute, the more obvious the effect of exercise.

For players of the strength gene sequence, exercise can also accumulate the development progress of the gene sequence and break through the boundaries of the hardware.

At present, the power attribute of Chu Guang is 10, and the hardware base is almost 200% of that of a normal adult male (baseline value of 5).

Even without any skills, the coordination of the muscles cannot be maximized, and it can easily crush opponents of the same heavyweight with attributes.

If you meet a creeper again, even without the external skeleton and nitrogen power hammer, Chu Guang won't say how easy it is to win, at least it won't be as embarrassed as it was at the beginning.

However.

This assumption is also unlikely to hold.

After all, let alone going out, even if he was in the outpost, he would wear the outer skeleton in a deerskin coat when he was all right.

It's just that the power is not turned on at ordinary times, so the weight is training.

Two and a half catties of crab legs weighing five catties are shells, but the remaining two and a half catties of crab meat are also quite solid. After Chu Guang finished eating, he patted his hands and put out the fire.

At this moment, a player walked in from the outside while pressing a native wearing a coat.

The captives were taken to the main building of the nursing home, Kuangfeng stood at attention with a serious face, and reported to the manager.

"Dear manager...We caught a robber scout!"

"Captive?"

Chu Guang wiped his mouth and squinted Eyes looked towards the person in front of them.

I saw that man was covered with snow, mud and dead leaves, a broken arrow stuck in his thigh, and half of his pants were stained with dark red blood, looking very embarrassed.

He clenching one's teeth and said.

"Is this your way of hospitality?"

"The way of hospitality is reserved for guests."

Chu Guang thinks he doesn’t Too much like robber, but not like scavengers nearby, so he continued in an interrogating tone.

"Who you are? Why did you enter our territory? The three entrances of the wetland park have signs, which are clearly written, and no people are allowed to enter. Even if you don't know the word, you should recognize that. Skull logo."

"I'm here to mediate!"

"Mediation?" Chu Guang squinted his eyes, his tone was a little unkind, "Are you a blood-handed person?"

"no! I don’t belong to anyone!"

Feeling the bad tone in that tone, the person clarified it quickly, but the wound was so painful, and the emotion was involved. His muscles hurt again, and he grinned.

It took a long time to get over. The man tried to stay awake, squeezing out a word of air leakage from his teeth.

"...Can you treat me the wound first? I may be gone after a while."

It's okay.

Seeing you are so calm, you thought you were not hurt badly.

Chu Guang looked happy, but didn't embarrass him either.

Lost 5 Silver Coins in Kuangfeng's hands, and sent the little player away, then he took out a roll of bandages from the blind box from his pocket and threw it to that person.

Never tried the hemostatic effect of this thing.

It happened to be an experiment with him.

The man clearly knew how to use this thing. After he took it apart expertly, he broke the arrow shaft first, plunged it into the flesh with the tool, and took out the arrow enduring the pain.

The blood ran down like a tap, running down the trouser legs.

Chu Guang frowned as he watched from the side and couldn't help but be speechless, but the man seemed to be okay. After clenching his teeth and tying the bandage, he relaxed instead.

"Does it feel better."

"It's better," the man nodded, took a deep breath, and continued the topic, "My name is Hain, a A businessman from Honghe Town."

"Why would the businessman in Honghe Town mix with Robber?" Chu Guang looked at him with interest and continued, "And from Honghe Town to here, there must be It’s a fifty-sixty kilometers."

"Fifty-sixty kilometers? Oh, that’s a straight-line distance. You have to walk at least 130 kilometers if you want to go around the city group! Of course, you have to go around if you want to be safe. Open the highway bridge... It’s about 150 kilometers away."

"So?" Chu Guang watched him lift his chin, "You didn’t answer my question, why would you talk to me? Robber mixed together."

"Ah, it's not mixed together, it's just... we have some business dealings."

Hain's eyes drifted a little, and he continued after a moment of embarrassment. Said.

"Well, let me just say it. I am a businessman of the Horseshoe Trading Company in Honghe Town...or an employee. Because of the relationship with the boss, we occasionally talk to some trustworthy people in the southern river valley. The robber tribe’s business is mainly related to population. Don’t look at me like that. Without us, the captives would not survive the winter. At least we gave them a chance to be a new man!"

"So you are Slave business?" Chu Guang stroked his chin with interest, but did not show interest on his face.

"Yes!" Hein nodded, continued, "This time I was sent to Qingquan City by the Boss to buy some slaves from them to go back. But when I got here, I heard Are you fighting?"

Chu Guang laughed kindly.

"Yes, and the enemy of your trading partner is thinking about one thing now. Suppose your boss doesn't know that you have been here to me--"

Hai Enyan He spit, and interrupted Chu Guang nervously.

"I know what you want to say, but it doesn't make sense. Everyday is dead in the wasteland. My death is not important to my boss."

" Really?"

"Compared with how to deal with me, don't you want to listen to my proposal first?"

"You said."

Hein He continued speaking quickly.

"Bloodhand wants to truce with you. They are willing to pay a ransom of 20 chips for each prisoner... Of course, if they lack arms and legs, they are only willing to pay half."

"Oh, what about the contract they gave you?"

"My? Contract? What contract—"

"Oh, don't pretend," look Looking at Hain, who was pretending to be a fool, Chu Guang said impatiently, "Do you think you deceived me? You all said that every day in the wasteland is dead, and someone will stop their lives for no good things? Is our truce good for you?" Hein said with a smile.

"I didn't deliberately conceal it... It's just that I don't really have a contract with them this thing. Well, I'm telling the truth, his leader promised me, as long as I can bring their people back , They are willing to'handle' the wounded to me cheaply. But it is actually good for you, isn't it?"

"No one wants to fight in heavy snow, and your neighbors are also very troubled by this spooky weather . It’s better to sit down and talk about it. In fact, it’s not an irreconcilable contradiction. The misunderstanding here will definitely be solved."

"I took the prisoners back to the business, and you got a sum of war compensation. And shook hands with your neighbors and said... We can all win together!"

Chu Guang laughed.

But the curvature of the corners of the mouth is cold.

Misunderstanding?

Unlock?

hahaha.

He has never heard such a funny joke.

If I didn’t run into him, and happened to run into this group of players, I would switch to other survivors’ strongholds, not to mention what would happen to men and women, even their bones would have been sucked a long time ago. It's clean.

Make peace?

Those people are just waiting for an opportunity.

For example, the snow stopped.

"Mr. Hein, I feel you are making me laugh. Reconciling with Robber? Do you believe what you said?"

Hein's expression was a bit embarrassing.

In fact, before he walked into this outpost, he had a hunch that this group of people was different from the survivor strongholds he had visited before.

Walls, trenches, sentries on duty, sentries for hunting...

No one here is a professional soldier, but everyone seems to be able to fight very well, and the most The key is to dare to fight.

They are wearing blue jackets, but they don't have any illusions about the kindness of this world.

I am afraid that this negotiation will collapse...

"I understand, you have your problems, since I can’t talk about it, I’m not reluctant... you can let me go Leave? I will be tight-lipped about everything I see." Hein took a second to make a stop loss judgment.

However, Chu Guang did not speak, but motionless stared into his eyes, and just stared at him for a long time.

The latter's heart is hairy when he is seen, only to feel that he is being stared at by a crawler, and sweat is gradually oozing from his back. Unable to hold the oppression, he spoke with trembling lips.

"Even if you kill me, you will not do any good... Why bother? I and your lacking hatred and enmity, you can continue to fight, I promise not to mix up."

"But it doesn't hurt."

For a moment, Hein felt that even his heartbeat had stopped.

However, Chu Guang's next sentence rekindled hope for his life.

"You said, you are in the slave business?"

"Yes, yes!" As if grasping the life-saving straw, Hain hurriedly nodded, "You need a slave I can do it for you! We do not only import slaves, but also export sales. We also provide door-to-door delivery. If you need it--"

"Follow me."

Seeing the man walking outside, Hein was forced to stop talking, swallowed, dragged his lead-like legs, and limped along.

The snow outside is getting bigger and bigger. The wind blows on his face like a knife, especially on the wound. Hein feels that his blood is about to be frozen.

Fortunately, it is not far.

The man took him to the front of a simple shack, and then said a few words to the old man on duty at the door, and saw that the old man was nodded, turned back to the house, and took a wooden box come out.

Chu Guang weighed the weight of the box, then handed him to Haien's hand.

Hein who took the box felt his hands sink and looked towards the man who handed him the box in a puzzled way.

"...Is this?"

"Let's open it and take a look."

There is an ominous premonition in my heart, but Hein still spares one Hand, opened the box.

When he saw the jewelry made of finger bones in the box, the blood in his whole body seemed to be solidified, and his face lost its blood.

Of course, he who has dealt with robber all the time recognizes these things.

Those people will regard the index finger of their prey as spoils of war, dry and dry them into accessories and hang them on their bodies, like a lifeblood.

This blue-skinned demon! No    one left...

"Winter is coming, and I don't have so many cells here. I am afraid you can only find the prisoners you want from here."

Looking at Hain who lost his soul, Chu Guang laughed carelessly.

"Let’s make a deal."

"I promise, you will get a large number... and a large number of prisoners, fiercely in front of your Boss Fan, since then embarked on the peak of his professional career, good luck even completely bid farewell to the life of his head pinned to the waistband."

"And I, can solve the trouble in the north once and for all."
