This Game Is Too Realistic

Before leaving Linghu Wetland Park, Chu Guang first took Ye Shi to visit the mutant leech nest near the parking lot.

"That's where we found those mushrooms." Ye Shi pointed to the broken cement pipe not far ahead.

"It's a good thing you didn't go in."

Chu Guang patted Ye Shi on the shoulder.

"Let's go."

"That's not our goal today."

I heard that leeches can be used as medicine, but I don't know if mutated leeches can be used.

The two carefully circumvented the mutant leech's nest, avoided lush vegetation and concrete ruins, and walked in the sun as much as possible.

Walked some distance towards the east.

Looking at the viaduct and residential buildings ahead, Ye Shi, who was following Chu Guang, couldn't help but ask.

"Aren't we going hunting?"

"Yes."

"Then why are you getting further and further away from the forest?"

"The forest lies ahead."

"?"

Chu Guang didn't explain much. He silently took off the iron tube rifle on his back and pushed the bullet into the chamber. His aura also changed.

Not far away is a broken viaduct.

On the concrete load-bearing columns covered with moss, the traces of time are hidden by the shadows of green plants.

The rat as big as a washbasin licked the muddy water in the stone pit of the sewer. When it discovered the two uninvited guests, it quickly scurried to the grass on the side.

Ye Shi raised his head, his pupils dilated slightly with a shocking color.

Behind the broken viaduct, there were tall buildings covered with vines and moss. Thick roots broke through the cracked concrete ground, and tree trunks rose up in the middle of the road, overturning cars and bus stops that had long been reduced to iron slag.

This green hell is full of life, but also contains the murderous intention to devour everything.

The world in his eyes was so shocking, every frame looked like a post-apocalyptic style work of art, that Ye Shi even forgot that this was the "game world".

At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of Chu Guang's words.

This is the real forest...

"You have to be careful from here on out."

As Chu Guang spoke, he opened the safety of the iron tube rifle and explored forward step by step.

Although this can only be regarded as the northern suburbs of Qingquan City and is far from the core urban area, we still cannot let down our guard.

High-rise residences, sewers, three-dimensional gardens, parking lots, drone hives, CNC planting towers, maglev stations and behind every window...

All man-made wonders, after being abandoned by civilization, have become natural greenhouses and seedbeds.

After the nuclear war, there was indeed a long cold winter on this land, but it only lasted less than half a century.

The power of nature turned everything around.

The first thing to fall was the high-rise building. The moss started along the backlight, eroding upwards, and finally covered its entire body.

And those non-high-rise buildings are not immune.

During the years of human decline, all it took was a few downpours and a sultry summer to turn this place into a paradise for fungi and angiosperms growing wildly.

They provide abundant food for wildlife.

After the city's drainage system was paralyzed, the freshwater resources in the city were even richer than those in the nearby Linghu Lake.

Wild animals and out-of-control poultry began to migrate from forests, lakes, and farms to cities with more comfortable living environments. Under the triple effects of radioactive substances, genetic weapons, and time, they evolved into vicious and bloodthirsty mutants.

They are collectively called alien species!

certainly……

The dangers here go far beyond that.

After carefully walking along the street of No. 76 Street for a while, the surroundings were quiet. Just when Ye Shi was thinking about where all the alien species had gone, Chu Guang's voice came from the side.

"There is a situation."

In front of a scrapped car, Chu Guang suddenly stopped.

Ye Shi came back to his senses immediately, stopped, and looked around nervously, but saw nothing.

"What happened?"

Chu Guang looked solemn.

"There are traces of survivor activity."

"Other survivors?!" Ye Shi was stunned for a moment, imitating Chu Guang and lowering his voice, but couldn't hide the excitement in his tone, "Are they the aborigines of the wasteland?"

Finally get to meet other NPCs!

He has been waiting for this moment for a long time!

Chu Guang glanced at him and knew what he was thinking.

"You don't have to be so excited. This is not something to be happy about."

"Why?"

"Because in a place like this, strangers are more dangerous than alien species."

Without explaining more to him, Chu Guang knelt down and found a bunch of cans strung with wire behind the scrapped wheels.

The aluminum can was broken outwards. From the fracture, it looked like something had exploded. You could still vaguely smell the residual smell of rotten eggs.

"Gunpowder containing excessive amounts of sulfur, as well as thumbtacks and pieces of iron..."

Chu Guang frowned.

Mutant?

Or a predator?

Normally survivors will not deploy trip mines near settlements.

This kind of thing is difficult to harm alien species with a sensitive sense of smell, in other words, it is not harmful to humans.

Judging from the residual smell, the explosion time should not be long, at most five hours or even less.

Chu Guang turned around and asked.

"When you came out of the underground, did you hear explosions coming from the east?"

Ye Shi shook his head nervously.

"No."

"wait for me here."

Looking at Chu Guang who put down the can and stood up, Ye Shi asked nervously.

"What do you want to do?"

"Inspect the situation ahead."

"I can come with you-"

"You, stay here."

Ye Shi wanted to insist, but when he met Chu Guang's eyes, he choked on his words again, and finally nodded slowly.

The pressure from the authority dog ​​made him feel that the man in front of him was not messing with him, and he might really be kicked off the line...

Instruct Ye Shi to hide next to the abandoned car.

Chu Guang put away the gun, pulled out the sharpened steel pipe from his back, and quickly slipped into the building on the side of the street with a low body.

Although he did intend to use this player as bait when he came out, the situation is different now.

Opposite are other survivors, and they are most likely predators or mutant tribes. The bait has lost its meaning, and will instead alert the snake.

Chu Guang looked solemn and held the steel pipe tightly in his hands.

The straight-line distance from this place to Linghu Wetland Park is at most 1 kilometer, which is too close to Shelter 404!

Especially now that players are engaged in large-scale production, even if the smoke, dust and sound generated are partially blocked by plants and concrete barriers, they will be discovered by people here sooner or later over time.

Keeping these dangers is always a hidden danger.

Chu Guang was ready to kill.

Once he determines that the other party may pose a threat, he will strike first without hesitation.

In the ten-story building along the street, the passage is very narrow and the small space is covered with moss.

But fortunately, there are no particularly dangerous alien species here.

On the fifth floor or so, there were a few fat mutant rats. Maybe they felt that they were "outnumbered" and bared their teeth at Chu Guang in a desperate manner.

If they were running away with their backs turned, they would definitely have pounced on him in a swarm, but they were not afraid of this uninvited guest at all, so they who were timid by nature did not dare to act rashly. They only dared to pounce tentatively, screaming and baring their teeth.

I have long been accustomed to this.

Without saying a word, Chu Guang moved forward with his pipe and pierced the nearest mutant rat, killing one immediately.

When the rats saw how fierce this guy was, they immediately fled like birds and beasts, got into the entrance of the floor, and disappeared into the shadows.

"It doesn't look like a rat's nest."

"Probably only about ten or twenty..."

Any more and these guys will be difficult to deal with.

The swarms of mutated rats would be troublesome even for heavily armed mercenaries, let alone me who only had an iron pipe rifle.

Chu Guang breathed a sigh of relief, shook the pointed steel pipe, and shook off the fat rat and the blood stains.

Go directly to the top of the tenth floor.

Chu Guang used the steel pipe in his hand as a crowbar to pry open the rusted door panel and enter the rooftop.

It was very windy on the rooftop.

He walked to the rusty water tank and looked towards the community to the east. What he saw confirmed his suspicion.

I saw a wooden camp standing in the open space in the middle of the concrete building, with rags and construction debris blocking the view of the outside world.

Survivor strongholds in the wasteland are roughly divided into two categories. One type lives directly in houses that did not collapse before the war, and the other type builds new homes in ruins or open spaces, depending on the surrounding conditions.

Raiders who lived in urban areas usually lived in buildings and rarely built such primitive dwellings and fortifications.

Only mutants with an average height of two meters and a weight of more than 300 pounds would build such wooden shacks when there are clearly ready-made houses available.

The wooden stakes at the entrance of the camp were sharpened like the fangs of wild beasts, with several severed limbs and corpses scattered randomly on them, and there were dried blood on the ground.

They eat everything.

Not just fungi, but also the fruits of plants, and even the flesh of mutated flies, rats, and cockroaches.

Of course, their favorite food is still the same kind as before——

Two-footed man.

Chu Guang searched along both sides of the street, and sure enough, Chu Guang saw a mutant sentry carrying a metal longbow on the roof of the shop along the street at the end of No. 76 Street.

The green skin resembles the orcs in fantasy movies, and in fact they are as strong, savage, rude and bloodthirsty as the orcs.

He is two meters tall and has gnarled muscles covered in armor made of scrap metal. There is even a sign on the breastplate that says "Second one is half price."

The two outward-turned steel bars embedded on the shoulders are faucets removed directly from the bicycle - these things are miraculous in dealing with chopping and blunt force injuries, and can jam a chainsaw or an axe.

It can be said to be quite cyberpunk.

If Chu Guang and Ye Shi had continued to walk forward, they would have been ambushed by the mutant sentry until they reached the intersection at most!

There was a faint fear in my heart.

Chu Guang's Adam's apple moved slightly, moved his eyes, and continued to look at the mutant camp in the east community.

Due to too many obstructions, he couldn't see how many people were inside. He could only roughly judge from the size of the camp based on experience that the number of mutants should be between twenty and thirty.

"A small mutant colony..."

Chu Guang's expression gradually became serious.

These guys are not easy to mess with!

Almost at the same time, a light blue system pop-up window appeared in his field of vision.

[Mission: Destroy the mutant tribe on Street 76

Type: branch line

Reward: 200 bonus points

】

etc--

Can tasks be triggered outside the shelter? !

Chu Guang was stunned for a moment and immediately tried to exhale the system, but there was no response.

The light blue mission pop-up window disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

It seems that the system can only be opened near the shelter, but the mission can be triggered anywhere outside the shelter?

but……

These two hundred reward points are a bit impressive.

No hesitation.

Chu Guang immediately put away his weapon, turned around and went downstairs, quickly leaving the area with Ye Shi, who looked confused.

That’s a 200-point reward!

The side quest to summon a hundred players only gave 100 points, but this reward was given to 200. Obviously, this task is not that easy to complete.

Maybe there’s a big hole hidden inside!

Chu Guang is not stupid.

He wouldn't fall for something so obvious.

"Master Manager, what exactly did you see?" Looking at Chu Guang who finally stopped, the panting Ye Shi rested with his hands on his knees and couldn't help but ask.

Chu Guang, who was standing still to rest, answered casually.

"It's a mutant camp."

"Then we...just leave like this?"

"Otherwise, what if we fight with them? If we lose, we will be thrown into the frying pan?" Chu Guang glanced at him, "Think about it, we only have one gun."

Even only one person can fight.

Ye Shi shut his mouth and stopped talking.

He didn't think about it just now, he only thought that mutants were NPCs in this game. Now, according to the manager, these mutants should be a hostile force?

And he also eats people...

Secretly memorizing this information, Ye Shi planned to share it with other players when he returned.

"It's not a good idea to provoke those beasts now. We need to be better prepared and concentrate our efforts to defeat them once and for all."

Chu Guang cursed as he walked away.

"It's so unlucky... the mutant camp is actually on 76th Street, directly opposite the east gate of the park."

"No matter what, we have to be careful!"

…

The original hunting route can only be deviated!

Chu Guang took Ye Shi to bypass No. 76 Street, walked north along the viaduct out of the city for about a mile, and found an abandoned construction site.

The construction site is very large. It should be a real estate that has just started construction. One of the buildings has reached seventeen or eighteen floors. The other large holes should be the foundations being dug.

Most of the construction equipment was scrapped, and the hanging tower even hit the unfinished building, forming a slope.

It can be seen that the quality of this house is quite good.

Even the pendant tower was knocked down by the shock wave of the nuclear explosion, but the concrete building was only hit with a gap, and the main structure was not even damaged.

The steel piled at the construction site has corroded, and the cement packed in bags has also hydrated and deteriorated, making it no longer usable.

However, what is surprising is that Chu Guang found a large number of unused blue-gray stones here!

Chu Guang recognized it at a glance. This thing was limestone. The main component should be calcium carbonate, which I remembered correctly, and it could be used as a raw material for firing cement.

"Good stuff!"

Chu Guang was secretly happy, pulled out the map and made a mark on it.

It is not a problem to refine all the limestone into cement and build two buildings.

As long as Laobai unlocks the technology for firing calcium carbonate cement, they won't have to worry about cement raw materials for a long time in the future!
