This Game Is Too Realistic

Chapter 907 I am not your captain of ten thousand (1/2)

Unlike Singularity City, which has inextricable historical connections with the War and Construction Committee, Weifu City, located in the Weifu Wasteland, is a settlement built from scratch by surviving people from all over the world.

The only thing that can be traced here, apart from the disappeared old city, is only a slave owner's manor with a large population.

After the Torch Church came here, the slave manor with a large population was no longer left, only some mutants and the fruits that mutants loved to eat were occupied.

The kingdom of heaven, which is close to perfection, once came to this land, and the mycelium of Naguo once penetrated every inch of the soil here, but now the corroded soil has gradually been cleaned by Xiaoyu's mutant slime mold mother nest. nourishment.

There are vast plains and rich rivers here. In time, it may become as fertile as the Tasang River in Borneo Province.

The only thing missing here may be people.

Compared with the more developed Dawn City, Dawn City and Boulder City, there are many shortcomings here in terms of infrastructure and medical conditions.

Fortunately, this immediate difficulty did not prevent the alliance's pioneers from setting foot on this soil.

The factories in Boulder City and Dawn City provided a wealth of tools for those who opened up wasteland.

They set up carriage-style tents in the wilderness, installed solar panels on the top of the tents, used exoskeletons with exploration plug-ins to search for mineral deposits, drove agricultural machinery to reclaim land, and occasionally released information to nearby players to eradicate alien species or mutants, or A commission to plunder the nest.

In addition to the pioneers from other settlements in the alliance, there are also the Weirant people from the far western border, the wastelanders from the Yunjian Province, and even the settlers who migrated from the Wandering Swamp, as well as the people from Thousand Pillars City. Borneo.

Their specialties vary, some are good at fighting, others are good at mining, farming or brewing wine.

Of course, the largest number of homeless people here are from Jinchuan Province.

With the threat of the Torch eliminated, Weifu City, which deployed the psychic interference device, has become a paradise in this basin second only to Singularity City.

And unlike Singularity City, there is no AI here that cares about everything and wants to be a mother.

They can do whatever they want, as long as it does not violate the laws of the alliance and does not hinder the equality of others.

It’s the same as when Dawn City rose.

The production workers formed industry representatives, and then people outside the production workers also elected people who could represent themselves, and finally the representative meeting was born.

Within the framework of the Alliance Constitution and Alliance Laws, the local surviving people gradually clarified their own rules and selected representatives to go to Dawn City to participate in the formulation of the first two laws.

In addition, they can also represent the citizens of the alliance to exercise the supervisory power that every citizen naturally possesses, ensure that the administrative organs of the alliance operate within the framework of the law, and submit the case to the court for arbitration if it is determined to be illegal. .

This system and the alliance's municipal system operate independently of each other, which is quite appropriate at present.

As for what kind of rules will be adopted in the new era after the end of the "settlement era", that is a matter of the future.

The alliance at that time would have had a larger administrative division and a larger population, and its territory might have spanned dozens of light-years and encompassed several stars.

At that time, the city lords and governors, whose functions are becoming more and more marginal, may withdraw from the stage of history along with the position of management.

Including "shelter residents."

From now on they are no longer blue coats or blue gophers.

Their children will be honorable Alliance members like the children of other Wastelanders and Valantians, instead of distinguishing between inner and outer cities like the Stone City, or using letters to divide class and status like the Academy.

But that was probably a long time later.

Chu Guang had no intention of planning everything for the alliance for the next few hundred years.

After all, even if things happen within a few years, he and others will always be surprised.

He believes that his children will be able to find a balance between tradition and innovation that suits them, and pass on their experiences into the distant future.

Just then, the train stopped at the station platform.

Chu Guang stood up and was about to get out of the car when he suddenly noticed Lu Bei walking in with a serious expression.

"Sir, there is something going on in Settlement No. 1."

Although Chu Guang had just finished eating the melon on the forum, he still said to Lu Bei with a smile.

"Tell me."

Looking at the manager walking towards the train aisle, Lu Bei hurriedly followed him and whispered in a serious tone what the Guards had noticed.

After hearing this, Chu Guang nodded and said with a smile.

"What's wrong with this?"

Lu Bei hesitated for a moment, then expressed his opinion in a deep voice.

"You said that if we want to end the Wasteland Era, we must unite with the people we can unite and save all the surviving people who are suffering. But that representative of Gu Ning is inciting others to hate the Borneo people... …”

His loyalty to Chu Guang is unquestionable, after all it was the gentleman who pulled him out of hell a long time ago.

It was precisely because of this that he didn't like that glib guy.

In his opinion, that person was completely distorting the meaning of management, and even taking advantage of people's emotions for personal gain, instead of truly understanding the gentleman's teachings.

However, even though he didn't like that guy, he still remembered what Chu Guang said to him, and just watched from the sidelines to see if the parties in the vortex acted out of line, without making any further moves.

After listening carefully to Lu Bei's views, Chu Guang thought for a moment and sighed softly.

"What you said before was very objective, but you forgot the objective criteria when evaluating specific people. For example, I don't like the word 'incitement'. That Mr. Gu just expressed his opinion, and I never There was no hatred directed at any specific person or any distortion of facts in his expression.”

"I..." Lu Bei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and wanted to explain anxiously.

Seeing the young man's anxious look, Chu Guang smiled gently and continued.

"I know you don't mean any harm, you're just a little too anxious."

After a pause, he continued.

"People will have their own ideas, and we should give them the opportunity to express their ideas. It is precisely for this reason that even in the most difficult times, we must select those who were born in the factories from the workshops of the factory and the farmland of the long-term farm. Representatives from all walks of life.”

"If the opinions of a large number of individuals are not taken seriously, we will become a wild horse, just like the former Boulder City. The survivors there, whether they are ordinary people or elites, are following an outdated blueprint. Building a building that most people don’t like at all. The harder they work, the more painful it becomes, and the more it goes against their dreams, except for the people who live in that building.”

"In the end, both the tenants of the building and the survivors outside made the worst choice without exception and entered a lose-lose situation. It was not until the building collapsed that they gained real relief. "

Lu Bei said in a low voice.

"We are not going to become Stonehenge."

Chu Guang smiled and said.

"I hope not. The 'black card' will not disappear because we ignore its existence. But we can distribute it to more people to spread the risks we may encounter in the future."

Lu Bei couldn't help but ask.

"Is there no way to completely eliminate the risk? For example, to nip it in the bud."

Chu Guang shook his head gently.

"Even the sun will burn out one day, not to mention the civilization that only has tens of thousands of years and us who are only a few years old... Risks can only be reduced, but cannot be eliminated. Don't think about those things that don't exist. "As for practical matters, they are either the bold assumptions of dreamers or the rhetoric of liars."

Foolproof ideas are the ones we should be most wary of. Invisible risks are more dangerous than visible ones, because they are often not really foolproof, but just bury the 10001st worst possibility in the soil.

Once you embark on that path, everyone will passively participate in a huge gamble with no return.

The final endings of gamblers are generally nothing new. They either rush into the sky for a short period of time and exile themselves in outer space with weak gravity, or they fall to the ground with great force and are torn to pieces by the gravity of reality.

Looking at Lu Bei who was deep in thought, Chu Guang stopped at the door of the carriage, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and continued in a gentle tone.

"I said a long time ago that I have only one request from you, and that is loyalty."

"This sentence will always apply to the Guards Regiment. I hope you will always remember it and remember the second half of the sentence that I did not finish at the time."

"You should remain loyal to the citizens of the Union and the laws to which they swore allegiance, and dedicate all you have to defending their dignity and rights."

"If one day I am gone and someone tries to kidnap you in my name, that person will be the enemy of everyone in the alliance and your undisputed old enemy."

He not only had to be wary of himself as the city lord of Boulder City, but also of Marshal Julius.

The huge army is full of traitors with unspeakable loyalty.

The Alliance must not do it for them.

There was a hint of understanding in Lu Bei's pupils, and a little bit of shame.

He lowered his head and placed his right fist on his chest.

"I remember."

Smiling at this promising young man, Chu Guang stepped off the train and stood on the platform of the train station.

Just when he got off the bus, Captain Li Jinrong and the leadership team of Wei Fucheng were standing not far from the platform, looking like they wanted to get closer but couldn't make up their mind.

Seeing those familiar faces, Chu Guang knew that the news of his patrol south had indeed spread.

Although the Alliance has not popularized the Internet, the speed of information flow is different from before.

In addition, he didn't deliberately hide it. He just opened a holographic image when chatting with the crowd. It is possible that someone saw or guessed it.

To be honest, it was not easy to get this far before the news got out.

When he made eye contact with Chu Guang and saw that the manager had noticed him, Li Jinrong came forward with a smile.

"Dear Mr. Manager, why are you here?"

Perhaps because of his political work experience, this man who once led the Iron Tower Organization to fight guerrillas against the Torch Church is much more stable than before.

It's also a bit more tactful.

Chu Guang smiled, shook hands with him, and said in a gentle tone.

"I haven't been here for a long time. I just came here to take a look around and see how the survivors here are doing after I left. You don't need to be nervous. Just do whatever you need to do."

Li Jinrong said with a smile.

"Don't worry, we are all doing well, and life here is now on the right track."

When he said this, he smiled sheepishly and continued awkwardly.

"Just...please tell me in advance when you come next time, so that we can be prepared. This is not Dawn City after all, and it is better to be prepared in terms of safety!"

Chu Guang laughed when he heard this, and looked at Li Jinrong, who was still a little bit reluctant to let go, and made a joke.

"You don't need to worry about my safety. People who can threaten [my safety] don't exist in this world."

This is indeed not a boast on his part.

There are very few people in the wasteland who can simply outdo X-16 in terms of individual combat effectiveness, let alone take him as a direct opponent.

As for rising the level of [War Machine], that's another story.

For example, with things like tanks, planes, cannons and missiles, it is quite difficult to get close to him without anyone noticing.

It's just that because the individual's power has limited space to play in the confrontation between the system and the system, they rarely charge on the front line like the players.

As for taking the lead in charging into battle, he also did it when the league needed him to do so in the early days.

Looking at Li Jinrong who was smiling bitterly, Chu Guang did not make things difficult for him and said in a generous tone.

"We're all here. If you want to report on your work, just report on it. Just try to pick out the rest. I'll confirm the rest with my own eyes... By the way, let's wait until we get out of the station, so as not to disturb the passengers here. "

He suddenly noticed that more and more people were gathering around to watch the fun.

Among them are local residents, wastelanders, and players who come to this area to do missions.

A pair of eyes looked here curiously.

People are less curious about why he is here than they are curious about him.

Players are concerned about the expansion pack, while other people living in this land are concerned about whether this means that the Alliance is making big moves in the south.

In fact, they were not wrong.

After the power well is activated, this land will fast forward to a new era.

Seeing that Chu Guang was really just here to take a look, and not because he had done anything wrong in his work, Li Jinrong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became much more sincere.

"Please come with me."

Due to the commotion on the station platform, the news of Chu Guang's visit to Weifu City spread like wildfire, and the very next day, it immediately became the headline of the "Survivor Daily" of the entire alliance and even the South China Sea Alliance.

Not only the survivors in Weifu City were excitedly discussing this incident, but even the survivors in Settlement No. 1 were also excitedly discussing whether the gentleman would drop by to visit their settlement. Look.

Although there really isn't much to see in Settlement One, except for the urban area adjacent to the port.

At the breakfast shop near the pier, white mist floated on the big iron pot, and the dockers wearing safety helmets chattered.

"Why did the manager come here suddenly?"

"Could it be the one from the city hall?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can a little bitch like that catch the eye of a manager?"

"Then why...there haven't been any treasures fished out of the sea recently."

"Maybe it's a visit from the South China Sea Alliance. I heard that Coral City has finally been fully electrified recently, and the people who used to live there and some residents of Vault 70 have moved back to the city. It should be this one."

"I don't think it has anything to do with that stall. It's probably the elevator guy."

"Space elevator?"

"And the Lijing Well! I heard that thing can pull down the garbage on the track."

"Hiss... I hope we don't drag down the nuclear bomb that our ancestors left on top."

"Even if there was, it would have taken effect long ago, right?"

Just as everyone was talking about it, a man in formal clothes walked next to the check-in area.

The man wearing a safety helmet was yawning, and suddenly a pair of shiny leather shoes appeared in his eyes.

Thinking that the supervisor or manager was coming, he quickly shook off his drowsiness and sat up straight in his chair, but his eyes met Henk's wretched face.

He rolled his eyes angrily, leaned his head on the chair again, and cursed.

"What the hell are you crazy about?"

Henk, who was dressed like a dog, grinned and put the resignation letter on the table.

"I'm here to resign."

"Have you hired me?" He picked up the resignation letter and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

The operations at the dock are very fluid, and no one under him has ever written about this thing, especially those who work daily.

Usually if I can't contact anyone for several days, I'll default to resignation.

A confident smile appeared on Henk's face and he nodded.

"To be precise, I found the starting point of my career...wish me good luck, brother."

The man was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Haha! Okay, okay, I wish you good luck. I hope I won't see you here next month."

Hunk said with a smile.

"No...but when I get rich, I will definitely come back and show off to you. I hope you won't find me annoying then."

As he spoke, he placed the exoskeleton folded in the suitcase on the table, along with the suit and helmet he had used some time ago.

The boss smiled at him, wrote him a note, and stuffed it into his hand.

"The rest of the money will be collected from the finance department... Damn it, you guy wanted to give me a free meal before you left."

Henk said with a smile after taking the note.

"If I still miss it, I won't be able to eat it in the future."

"Damn it, stop talking nonsense and get out of here."

The boss laughed and cursed and made a move to drive away the people, but the latter stopped disturbing his work and said goodbye to the others.

In fact, to be honest, he didn't hate the big nose, it could even be said that he liked him quite a bit.

Although Henk was a bit slow at work and often absent, his relationship with the others was good, and he would visit from time to time.

Maybe this kind of person shouldn't be working on the dock in the first place, and he should also play his due value on a broader platform.

His only wish is that this guy can use his intelligence in the right direction...

Just as Henk said goodbye to his last friend and walked towards the first office that the "Henk Group" had just rented in Settlement No. 1 with his remaining funds, the representative of the representative council Ning Zheng took Yaman, a representative elected by the Weiland immigrants, to inspect the homes of more than a thousand Weiland people.

It is worth mentioning that one representative is not the other representative.

Arman, who has just begun to apply for the status of a citizen of the alliance, still holds the status of a "supervised person". He is not an official citizen of the alliance, and he does not have complete political power. Naturally, he cannot propose proposals or make proposals at the representative meeting. vote.

However, in Gu Ning's view, with Arman's ability and popularity, it is only a matter of time before he joins the alliance and becomes the representative of the people of Weiland... as long as he has this idea himself.

Although as a conservative political commentator in the Congress, Gu Ning actually does not object to those "coming from here". After all, he was not born in the Alliance. He was also attracted by the concept of the Alliance, and later he became a member of the Alliance. The organization that ends the wasteland.

What he hates are only those who don't follow the rules, and those who treat the alliance like a trash can and stuff everything into it, regardless of whether the trash is suitable for the alliance or not.

He didn't want to target the Borneos, but those guys were messing around more than once or twice, and the so-called progressives on the radical side were too soft on them.

In comparison, those Weirant people were slightly more likable to him.

They like to drink vodka, and he happens to like whiskey, and the most popular one in Settlement No. 1 is the 40-proof one. The only difference is that one uses potatoes and the other uses wheat.

At this moment, Arman didn't know that Mr. Gu beside him had already regarded him as a potential ally.

If he knew, he would definitely laugh or cry.

After all the fucking, he didn't want to touch politics at all.

He just wanted to open ten churches to the Silver Moon Goddess to fulfill her vow and seek peace for his family.

"This is an open area to the east of Settlement No. 1. Because it is far from the water source, there are not many people living here... But these are not problems. As long as the money is available, the water pipes can be moved here at any time. , including Lu and so on.”

"All in all, there is more than enough water for domestic use. Don't worry. I don't think you will farm on the seaside anyway. In addition, other needed materials can also be imported from the South China Sea Alliance. Their factory is quite powerful. It is said to be able to produce strands of hair." Book copy... Haha, it sounds like bragging, but I’ve actually seen it.”

Looking at the empty wasteland in the distance, Gu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile.

"As for public opinion, don't worry. The news of the manager's move south has replaced all the headlines, including the 'Wilante Street' district, including the protests of some nasty people... Now that you have your own start-up funds, I believe you should I also hope to spend this time in a low-key manner, rather than being like those guys who chatter all day long just thinking about begging.”

Arman smiled sheepishly, looked at him and said sincerely.

"Thank you for thinking so much for us. I really don't know how to thank you."

These days, his compatriots are living on the boat. Some old people and children are sick because they are not adaptable to the climate. Some young people want to get off the boat to find work, and a pregnant woman is in labor.

The problem is always proportional to the number of people.

Settlement One had never received so many immigrants, and he had never cared for so many people at once.

Thanks to the help of this representative and that Henk, they were able to obtain a hospital bed and the necessary medicines.

Not only that, young people who wanted to find work also found jobs to support their families under the introduction of Mr. Gu, and moved into the staff dormitories of the working units.

Although the accommodation conditions are average and most of the positions are manual jobs with no threshold, it is a good transition.

The actual conditions were there, and the local survivors did not complain, nor did they have any reason to complain.

People with strong abilities can naturally find more suitable jobs.

"Heaven helps those who help themselves. I followed this truth when I was in the wasteland. You don't need to thank me. We welcome all capable survivors and us to work together to destroy this fucking wasteland and send everything from the old era to Into the grave."

Gu Ning held Arman's hand, smiled and patted his shoulder, looking at the experienced man and continued.

"But to be honest, I have to talk about something practical. Even if you have your own street, I hope you will try to treat your tradition and culture more as a symbol rather than a precept to distinguish your identity, and then try to Look around... After all, you have seen that even people we sympathize with can also arouse our disgust if they behave too unreasonably. "

Armen said seriously.

"I will pass on your advice to my fellow citizens."

Gu Ning smiled and let go of his hand.

"Relax, don't be so serious, I'm just your mouth, not your captain of ten thousand."
