Chapter 345 The ground is full of "evolutionary bodies"

Over Qingquan City.

A "Dragonfly" transport plane is circling along the edge of the Fifth Ring Road.

Looking at the boundless yellow-green fog outside the cabin, the unprofessional Anti-man couldn't help but smashed his tongue, and his eyes filled with surprise.

The spore cloud gathered in the city center is like a waterfall rolling down from the clouds, and it looks like a giant tree with lush leaves from a distance.

The towering torso devours the earth, and the spreading branches and leaves invade the sky.

Is there really a weapon that can destroy this thing in reality?

Even a nuclear bomb...

A faint chill crawled along his line of sight, Brother Mantou shook his head, picked up the walkie-talkie hanging on his shoulder and shouted.

"Are you ready?"

Sandwiched the electric sound of fried wheat, Lao Bai's intermittent voice came from the earphones.

"Ok."

The signal has begun to fluctuate erratically, and my intuition tells Brother Mantou that without the protection of anti-electromagnetic interference equipment, this is the limit that the aircraft can approach.

He pulled the joystick aside.

Accompanied by an unstable tremor, the hanging door locked at the tail of the aircraft was slowly lowered, and the restless airflow was involved in the cabin.

"The hatch opens"

"Wish you guys good luck!"

At the same time, Lao Bai, who was standing at the door of the cabin, gestured towards his teammates behind him, and stepped out of the cabin first against the whistling airflow.

The camera zoomed out, and I saw a few black spots separated from the cabin and galloped towards the center of Qingquan City. Not long after, six parachutes bloomed above the Third Ring Road.

After the landing, everyone quickly gathered in the direction of the airdrop, and recovered the ammunition and RPG rocket launchers and other support equipment placed there.

At the same time, the other side.

Boulder City, located on the edge of the West Third Ring Road, is located in the radar station on the giant wall. The operator on duty has already spotted the plane hovering in the air.

"The UFO is approaching our airspace!" The operator sitting in front of the radar control terminal was the first to spot the red dot on the screen.

However, instead of being nervous, he shouted out excitedly.

The radar station was instantly busy.

Most of the staff here are in the same mood as him at the moment.

It has been too long since they saw the aircraft of other survivor forces appear within the range of the radar warning area.

"Damn, I'm sure! It's the stuff of those scavengers in the northern suburbs!" An operator scolded excitedly.

"The other party did not respond to our communication!"

"Could it be that they don't have radios that receive signals at all?"

"Haha, it's possible!"

When he was talking, the colleague sitting next to him had already operated the air defense system and aimed a rapid-fire gun at the slow silver "big bird".

The computer has calculated the preview circle based on the motion parameters of the aircraft.

He just needs to press the fire button, and the big silver bird will turn into a ball of fire.

"The other party has entered our range!"

"Do you want to shoot down?"

Unlike the excited operators in the radar station, the station master in charge of managing the radar station was obviously much more cautious.

"hold on."

The plane did not continue to move towards the boulder city, it quickly turned around and headed back towards the northern suburbs of Qingquan City.

The staff who operated the weapons looked slightly disappointed.

He has been sitting on the cold bench under his **** for almost ten years, and the air defense system on the giant wall has never come in handy.

a staff member said indignantly.

"This is a challenge to us!"

"Whether it is a provocation or not is up to the Lord of the City," the head of the radar station interrupted his speech and looked at his deputy, "Report this incident immediately!"

The deputy who was standing by the side nodded.

"Yes!"

South Third Ring Road, Qingquan City.

The five bullocks and horses team that landed safely successfully converged near the airdrop box and got the weapons inside.

However, everyone's expressions are not very optimistic.

The situation here is far worse than they imagined.

we can even say

was completely beyond their expectations.

Dark red creeps covered almost every building, every viaduct, and every corner of the street.

The hideous-looking gnawing, as well as those slime molds that are even more ferocious than the gnawing, wander aimlessly on the broken streets.

The most troublesome thing is more than that, but the intricate terrain makes the risk factor here multiplied.

The high-rise buildings that penetrate deep into the clouds are connected by tunnels, making it truly a "steel forest".

When he parachuted down earlier, Ye Shi almost hung on the pedestrian bridge.

But fortunately, he was lucky, the parachute passed through the middle of the two truncated bridges, and then he landed safely and smoothly merged with his teammates.

"Mom... It turns out that the center of Qingquan City looks like this ghost."

On the 50th floor of the kilometer-high building, Ye Shi, wearing a gas mask, stood beside the broken wall, holding the binoculars and looking in the direction of the crash site.

The crashed W-1 Mosquito glider was stuck on the outer wall of the tall building directly opposite them, and the front half of the body was inserted into the wall.

Feather should be inside.

Ye Shi glanced at his feet.

Below him is an invisible abyss, the thick cloud of spores is like water in a venom pool, and the area that can be observed is very limited.

The visibility here is less than 200 meters due to the cloud of spores gathered in the city center.

In fact, due to the countless construction waste and reinforced concrete, the actual visibility is less than half of this figure.

This is much more exciting than a wave.

"Haven't you explored this place before?" Quit smoking said nervously.

Gu Feng shook his head.

"I haven't heard of anyone here."

Fang Chang also said: "There are no tasks here, and there is no way to save files. Even if you come here, it is meaningless."

You can't go far without high-value equipment, and you have to consider the risks when you bring high-value equipment.

This game does not limit the specific gameplay of players, but it also emphasizes that everyone is an adult and needs to be responsible for their own choices.

In fact, earlier, they tried to start from Boulder City and explore the direction of the third ring road.

However, the combat effectiveness of the aliens encountered along the way became stronger and stronger, and a lot of bullets were wasted without any profit, and finally gave up.

Carefully observed the situation on the forward path, Ye Shi's face became heavier and heavier, and he lowered his voice and said.

"...There are a lot of evolutions here!"

Hearing the word evolution, everyone's expressions immediately became serious.

"Corrupted Knight?" Old Bai said solemnly.

Ye Shi shook his head, did not speak, but pointed lightly outside the tall building, connected to the concrete elevated of another building.

I saw the wreckage of cargo drones lying there, roughly hundreds of them, and there were packages and takeaway boxes from two hundred years ago.

The dark red shell looks like rust, but if you take a closer look with the telescope, you will find that the surface of the drones is not rust at all.

is a shocking creep!

"Those things... I can sense that they are alive," after a pause, Ye Shi said in a deep voice, "and I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with!"

Gu Feng frowned.

"Are you going to bypass them?"

"The situation below isn't much better. Did you forget the things we saw when we came up?" Lao Bai took out the RPG bazooka behind him, inserted a high-explosive grenade, and hit the smoker who was carrying a heavy machine gun. With a gesture, "I can only try."

It is impossible to go around.

The difficulty of sneaking in this game is not ordinary, especially for those mutant slime molds, where there are spore clouds covered, the head seems to have an antenna for finding enemies.

A little closer, and rushing up.

The best strategy is to choose a relatively safe path, lead out the monsters in the area and clear them, and then move on.

Seeing that Lao Bai took out the RPG, the other team members also went to their respective combat positions in tacit understanding, and the weapons in their hands were insured.

"I'm ready."

"I'm here with Orc too."

+1

Everyone cooperated quite tacitly. After all, it was not the first time for them to form a team, and they had already experienced the tempering of countless battlefields.

Seeing that his teammates were getting ready one after another, Lao Bai pulled the trigger first.

Tail flame jet!

A high-explosive grenade slammed into the middle of the dense drone swarm!

As the firelight and thick smoke exploded in an instant, a large area of drones was blasted out by the shock wave and fragments of the explosion, and fell towards the bottom.

Quit smoking, who set up a machine gun not far away, and pulled the trigger immediately, venting ferocious firepower towards the area ahead.

The 10mm bullets fired weave an orange fire rain in the air, frantically harvesting the swarms of drones that were alerted and floated.

"Fuck... can this thing really fly?" Fang Chang, who fired with a rifle, had a hint of surprise in his eyes.

In two hundred years, unless it is nuclear power, no matter how durable the chemical energy battery is, it will not last so long!

Apparently those mutated slime molds replaced the batteries on the drone, became a new power source, and drove the propellers in a strange way, and even evolved a part of the creep into the propeller itself.

but--

In the face of absolute firepower, these are nothing. Against the swarms of drones rushing out of the billowing smoke, large areas were harvested by bullets.

Everything seems to be going well.

However, at this moment, a mutation suddenly occurred!

Not all the drones that were knocked down by the high-explosive grenade fell to the ground and shattered, and some of the surviving little guys flew up again.

At the same time, more and more drones floated out from the viaduct, and even the building opposite, and even began to flank the sides.

The bull and horse team behind the bunker immediately fell into a hard fight.

"Damn it! That's too many, right?!" After emptying the entire drum, quit smoking and scolded, and immediately changed the magazine.

At this moment, Gu Feng, who was pulling the trigger and pouring out firepower, suddenly said.

"Is there a possibility?"

Fang Chang: "What do you want to say?"

"The mimetic ability of the mutant slime mold imitates not only the individual drone, but the drone group itself..." After a pause, Gu Feng continued, "In simple terms, it is not a certain express package that is attacking us, but the An entire courier locker."

Ye Shi was startled.

"Fuck! Don't be a crow!"

"It's not a crow's mouth. As long as you find the 'drone hive' that dominates these little guys, they should be able to lose their organization..."

Watching the machine gun that quit smoking regained its firepower, Gu Feng took out the drone with the IED strapped to the backpack, and prepared to control it to fly to the opposite building.

VM opens.

The neural access device is worn on the head.

However, at this moment, Gu Feng's expression suddenly froze.

Noticing the change in his expression, Ye Shi hurriedly asked.

"what's the situation?"

Gu Feng, who was holding the headset, frowned, glanced at the VM screen in front of him, and said solemnly.

"Can't connect..."

Damn it.

There is still a little signal left!

Ye Shi cursed and knocked off the empty clip on the rifle.

No one can count on it now.

If you want to survive, you can only do your best to shoot down all the drones in front of you!

However, at this moment, a drone suddenly broke through the firepower network, passed through the broken wall on the side of the building, and rushed towards Ye Shi.

The warning signs in my heart suddenly rose!

Yaju reflexively released the magazine he was holding in his hand, and pulled out the Touji pistol attached to the belt.

However--

Even though he had warned of danger in advance, his hand was still one step behind.

The drone, which was covered with dark red mushrooms, slammed into it, and the tentacles protruding from the bottom of the fuselage popped out like lightning, and slammed into his face.

Ye Shi only had time to see the shadow flash, and then his consciousness fell into the boundless darkness.

A light blue pop-up window appears.

Disconnect

At the same time, another world.

Jiangcheng University, in a dormitory of the boys' dormitory, an abrupt ghost scream suddenly sounded.

"Boil!"

Hearing the movement from the bed, the animals who were sitting under the black and eating chicken were stunned on the spot, and the hands that pressed the gun stopped.

what's going on?

There was silence in the bedroom.

Sun Gan turned his head to look at the bed behind him, just as he was about to ask what was going on, Brother Wei's voice floated over from the bed.

"Sao Rui... something happened just now."

Ye Wei, who was sitting on the bed, stared at the helmet in his hand, his chest slowly heaving.

The three roommates looked at each other.

Although I don't know what happened, it's good that people are okay.

"Huh... a small problem, it's not in the way."

"We don't care, but you pay attention to your body..."

"Indeed, playing R18 games is so loud, it's hard not to worry about you guys."

Ye Wei: "..."

MMP!

This bunch of gou things!

Ye Wei rolled his eyes and threw the helmet beside the pillow.

got up and helped the ladder to get out of bed. He went to the balcony to wash his face, leaned against the guardrail, took out his mobile phone, and glanced at Xiaoqun.

"Anyone?" He sent a message over.

After a while, no one came back.

Seeing this, Ye Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that everyone is fine, only I accidentally gave it to me.

But when he thought that he would not be able to get on the account for the next three days, he felt a burst of depression.

Good guy.

Withdrawal has begun!

Just when Ye Wei was about to close the Q group and went to the official website to see what new work the sand sculptures had done, a message suddenly popped up in the group.

Aguang: "Yes, what happened?"

Ye Shi was startled when he saw the ID of this sudden corpse fraud.

What the hell?

Dog planning!

"Brother Guang?!"

"you are still alive??"

Suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with his question, Ye Wei hurriedly retracted the message, and typed at the speed of light to pick up a sentence below.

"Uh, I mean you actually remembered your account password."

Aguang: "..."

Ye Wei looked a little embarrassed, and sent a dog head over to ease the atmosphere.

However, the broad-minded Brother Guang didn't care about such trivial matters, and quickly changed the subject on his own initiative.

Aguang: "How is the situation on your side? Are you facing the enemy?"

Isn't this a knowing question?

But it was rare to chat with Gou Planning, Ye Wei answered truthfully.

"Well, we hit the Xenomorph not long after we landed. The situation inside the Third Ring Road was worse than we expected, on the ground, in the sky, and underground... The intricate traffic is like a maze, paper maps and compasses It's not useful at all, we end up relying on VMs and weak signals to get our bearings."

"And then there's the xenogeneic... It's not just gnaws, creepers, and tyrants, there are plenty of ancient machines operating in this area."

Aguang: "Ancient machine?"

Ye Wei continued typing.

"It's the evolutionary body! For example, the power armors, tanks, self-propelled robots, etc., which were covered by slime molds that appeared in the wave expansion before... Anyway, they are all strange things."

"By the way, there are also drones! We met a large swarm on the way to the crash site, densely packed like locusts!"

Aguang: "Can you explain to me in detail about those evolutionary bodies?"

After a few seconds, he added another sentence.

"I mainly want to know the situation on the new map from the player's perspective."

Although it felt a little strange, Ye Wei didn't think much about it. He licked the screen of his mobile phone and described his experience in the Third Ring Road to Ah Guang one by one.

After a while, Aguang replied.

"Well, I probably understand."

After such a long time, Ye Wei continued typing.

"Brother Guang, will the difficulty in the Third Ring Road be too high? If the equipment can't keep up, it's difficult to advance with just a few light weapons."

"Power Armor is highly recommended in weapon stores!"

There are too many advanced monsters!

This level design is simply unreasonable!

However--

Aguang doesn't seem to intend to take his advice.

"I can't do anything about the difficulty. Part of the game content is generated by the server itself, and part of it is added by the players. We are only responsible for maintaining the operation of the server and dealing with violations...sorry."

"I have something to do here, let's go down first and talk back."

Auto-generating game content is okay.

What Ubisoft behavior is this?

Looking at the two lines of messages on the screen, Ye Wei had a helpless expression on his face.

Whether he believed it or not, Aguang didn't continue to explain his plan to him. After asking what he wanted to ask, he went offline ruthlessly.

I was alone in the group.

There is no point in continuing to guard. Ye Wei, who is empty and lonely, sighed, closed the group chat window, opened the browser and boarded the forum.

This point on the forum is quite lively.

The speed of the news in the gossip section is dizzying. Almost every time it is refreshed, the posts on the home page will be changed.

At this moment, Ye Wei was suddenly surprised to find that Ah Guang had secretly updated an announcement while he was not paying attention?

Curiosity went in and took a look, he was stunned on the spot.

Map Information Update: Qingquan City Center

[Map overview: The central area of Qingquan has been completely occupied by slime molds, and a large number of equipment left over from the prosperous era have been assimilated by the fruiting bodies of the mutant slime molds, forming an evolutionary body with a special structure...]

Recommended exploration level: LV.25 or above

Map Tip 1: Recover the wreckage of the evolutionary body and exchange it for high rewards in the scientific research group!

Recommended exploration levels and map tips are nothing to lose.

is just the column of this "map overview"...

Why does he look so familiar? ?

Wasteland world.

Dawn City Industrial Zone, the railway platform near the Bachi Aluminum Factory.

The staff is busy operating the crane equipment, dismantling some large equipment into parts and loading them on the pallet of the freight train.

The industrial area of the new alliance is migrating north.

This work will be carried out at the same time as the construction of Dawn City.

By then, the industrial area of Dawn City will be transformed into a light industrial base focusing on the production of consumer goods.

And heavy industry, including steel, weapons, and heavy equipment production, will be transferred to Dawn City to the north.

After listening to Xiaoyu's introduction, Pai asked curiously.

"Why are you moving north?"

Xiaoyu said helplessly.

"Because it's too close to our neighbors."

Pai got to the bottom of it.

"Do you have a bad relationship with them?"

put her index finger on her chin, she thought for a while and replied.

"Well... I can't say whether it's good or not. In Big Brother Chu's words, we are too close to them and are dangerous to each other."

Of course, there are also a series of factors such as being closer to the origin of raw materials and having a larger population in the north, but it is too troublesome to explain in detail.

"All right."

Accepting this statement for the time being, Pai put this trivial matter aside for the time being, and continued to search around the stacking area.

Xiaoyu looked at her movements and asked curiously.

"What are you looking for?"

"Some ingredients!"

"Ingredients?"

"It's nothing, you don't have to worry about it, it won't hurt you anyway!"

Looking at Pai with a confident face, Xiaoyu tilted his head in confusion. Although he was still curious, he didn't ask any further questions in the end.

"Okay... can I help you?"

"Really? That's great!" Pai's eyes lit up, and excitedly gestured with his hands the size of a cup, "First of all, I need a bottle of crude oil, it doesn't matter what kind...probably more than enough!"

To teach that rude guy a hard lesson.

This is the necessary material!

"Yuan, crude oil?" Xiaoyu was stunned and asked in a low voice, "Is biomass crude oil okay?"

Pai touched his chin and thought for a while.

"Biomass crude oil... a little troublesome, but it's okay!"

"Anyway, get a bottle and see!"

the other side.

South of Dawn City, a sanatorium in Linghu Wetland Park.

Just finished learning the situation in the city center from Ye Shi, and Chu Guang is planning to continue thinking about the unfinished reform plan and the update content of the Beta0.3 version.

However, just as he was staring at the newly created folder on the screen, thinking about a more appropriate title, an unexpected phone call suddenly came to him.

Seeing that the communication request came from the "New Alliance Office in Boulder City", Chu Guang temporarily stopped his work and pressed the connect button.

Soon, Shuyu's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Five minutes ago, people from the City Hall of the Stone City came to visit me."

People from City Hall?

A trace of surprise appeared in Chu Guang's eyes.

"What did they say?"

Shuyu continued.

"On trade and security issues..."

"The Minister of City Hall would like to speak with you on the phone."
