On the desert shrouded in the night.
Two people were lying on the gentle raised dunes.
Their bodies were covered with desert-colored cloaks, each with a telescope, looking at the valley on the horizon to the east, a trunk of small sandy weeds shook gently beside their arms.
On the slope not far behind the two, a battery motorcycle from Goblin Technology was tilted.
Time went back several hours ago.
It wasn't completely dark at that time.
After deciding on the treasure hunt plan, Ss proposed to explore the road near the entrance of the ruins first, so he greeted Rou and Sesame Paste, rode the only motorcycle in the group, and headed towards the Lost Valley in the east with his tail.
According to the plan, they will arrive around 8 pm to confirm the status of the ruins entrance, and return before 9 o'clock to switch shifts with the meat and sesame paste to watch.
However, in fact, the two spent a lot longer than expected.
Although Goblin Technology's electric motorcycle has enough horsepower and can drive to more than 150 yards per hour, it is in the case of flat road surfaces.
The nearest Highway 7 has been cut off several times.
They can only cross-country along the edge of the road, and the speed is only about forty or fifty yards per hour. If they are faster, there is a risk of flying on a slight steep slope.
It took nearly 150 kilometers to see a slight shadow of the valley.
And at this moment, a sandstorm suddenly blew up on the Gobi Desert, and the visibility suddenly dropped to within a hundred meters. Not only did the whistling wind blow even more and more difficult for people to move forward.
In desperation, the two of them had to stop the car for the time being, leaned behind the dunes to shelter the wind, and planned to wait until the sandstorm passed before continuing to move forward.
Fortunately, the sandstorm did not last long.
But just as the two were about to continue moving forward, Sce suddenly saw the place where the sandstorm swept across the distance, and there were scattered lights flashing.
There are people in Lost Valley!
And many!
Out of caution, she put the motorcycle down on the ground, took her tail to the high point next to her, took out her telescope and watched for a while.
It doesn't matter when they see it, and the two of them were instantly shocked by the amazing discovery.
...Party.
Holding the telescope tightly in his hand, Sis's gaze searched along the distance horizon and frowned slightly.
And it's from the Legion!
Although she didn't see the black robe, she would not admit her mistake with the bulletproof armor and the rifle in the hands of those people. After all, she had fought so many times at close range.
A three-wheeled motorcycle dropped an anchor on the sand dunes, probably because of the dust storm just now.
Several soldiers were surrounding the motorcycle, fiddling with tools in the repair box, trying to fix the motorcycle.
Another patrol team came from a distance, with a total of ten people approaching the broken three-wheeled motorcycle, as if to understand the situation.
These people have high patrol density and are very vigilant.
It can be seen that there should be some amazing secrets hidden in the valley behind them.
Sis changed his direction to look at the campground surrounded by sandbag walls in the distance.
There were people working in the north, as if they were digging something, and some earth was piled up at the entrance of the valley to the south, as if they were transported out of the valley.
What are you planning to do?
Sis was also a little confused.
Awei, lend me your thermal imager to use...Awei?
No response for a long time.
Sis turned his head and looked at it, but saw his tail lying motionless on the pile of sand without any reaction.
After a little stunned, Sis then smiled and shook his head.
She could guess with her feet what Awei was doing.
She reached out and took off the thermal imager above her tail, and she put it on her head and continued to look in the east.
The world has turned black and white.
On the white sand in the distance, bright white dots swayed.
Looking at the open space north of the camp, a surprised expression appeared on Sis's face.
oh……
So bright!
……
Another world.
"Wasteland OL" official website forum, a post suddenly appeared in the player communication section where only closed beta players can speak.
Tail: Ooooooooooooooooooo!A major discovery!!(° °)
Quit smoking: What's the situation???
Ye Shi: What did you find?(surprise)
Irena: Is it delicious?(funny)
Tail: Uh, you probably can't eat it, you're from the Legion!We saw many soldiers from many legion!
Lao Bai: ???
When I heard that I met the Legion, the post suddenly became lively.
Compared to where to encounter a wild claw of death or being knocked out by the tentacles of the multi-legged beast, it is obviously more topical to those collectively appearing elite monsters.
Fringe paddling: Are you in the Golden Lizard?There may indeed be corps activities there... The guerrillas of the Restoration Army transferred 50 of their tanks and a large number of trucks and supplies. Now the north of Oasis No. 9 is full of legion patrols, and we almost bumped into it.
Debt Big Eye: +1, Awei, be careful, don’t let the legion catch it.(funny)
Construction site boy and brick: +10086, be careful of mole, that guy can draw a book.(funny)
The Mole Escaped in the Canyon: Get out!The dog has just painted that thing, and I have already washed my hands!Haha, wait and see, wait until my game is sold in Ideal City, and you all call me dad!(Blank your eyes)
Since being banned by Brother Guang, this guy has indeed not drawn any strange books on the forum for a while.
But this is even more worrying.
An unemployed painter and traveling to the valley province.
The buffs are almost full.
Elf King Fugui: Haha, good brother, you have to come on!Lao Na saved all the money she saved from eating mantis!(funny)
Irena: It's okay, he sold his butt and returned it to us. He said it himself, (funny)
Makabazi: Hahahaha.
……
Tail: Oh!Don't worry, brother on the edge, we are no longer in the Golden Lizard!I heard that Oasis No. 4 is close to the beach, and we turned around and went south two weeks ago!(ˉ?ˉ)
Night Ten: (Sweat)
Tail: Then, we found that the legion's base was found 150 kilometers away from the Dowbal Mountains, a place called Lost Valley!There is at least a team of ten thousand people there!
Edge paddling: South?!Wait, how could there be people from the legion in the south?
Commander of Quanshui: I want to know more about how many people the legion is... From the map, their troops are too scattered. If they were not planning to attack three kingdoms at once, I would always have a bad premonition.
Battlefield Atmosphere Group: Do you see clearly what they are doing there?
Tail: Of course it is treasure hunting!
Edge paddling: Treasure hunt?!
Tail: Yes!There is a very large camp there, about the same size as the previous fallen leaf camp!There were many people in the north outside the camp. They were digging on the ground with shovels and carts, and their tails were seen with thermal imaging cameras!hey-hey.
Qianfeng: It's about the same size as the Luoye Camp... It may indeed be a team of ten thousand people, and maybe there may be 20,000 or 30,000.
Spring Commander: Battlefield...
Battlefield Atmosphere Group: Don’t ask me, the manager asked me to continue lurking. I really don’t know anything. I’ll say it long ago if I know it.(Awkward)
Kakarot: Damn, can you do it?The chicken soup is almost rotten!
My darkest: That's it!Not becoming a marshal yet, that's too bad!
Battlefield Atmosphere Group: %$&!
……
At the same time, the wasteland world.
The army command of Dawn City, the combat conference room was full of people at this moment.
Although it was already late at night, there was no intention of breaking up the meeting at all.
Sitting at the conference table, the commander of the First Corps suddenly spoke.
I've been thinking about a question.
Everyone in the conference room turned their eyes to him.
Except Chu Guang staring at the map.
What's the problem.
He responded casually, and Chu Guang's gaze did not move away from the map, and his expressionless face seemed to be thinking about something.
Wrench sorted out his ideas and carefully expressed his opinions.
I was wondering...What are the benefits of using this nuclear bomb in the capital of fertility?In the eyes of the residents of Luoxia Province, the river bank is not only a tool for irrigation, but also a favor from the gods. Even if they don’t mind losing a piece of fertile soil... they are not worried about being enemies with the entire desert?
Chu Guang nodded.
He was very satisfied that his subordinates had finally grown up and would consider more issues in decision-making, including thinking from the enemy's perspective what means the other party might use.
This is also one of the questions I am thinking about... Vanus, tell him why.
Vanus, who was sitting at the conference table, nodded, looked at the commander of the First Corps sitting opposite, and spoke in gentle words.
There are many benefits. Although the price is to increase the cost of suppression, the advantage is that it can destroy the resistance will of the Lion King royal family in a short period of time and end the war early.
It is obvious that the Legion is not ready to go into full war with the company, whether it is sending airships to intercept fleeing employees, launching a sudden blitzkrieg raid, or deploying nuclear weapons like now... it is not so much a careful plan after a long period of preparation, but rather a gamble.
They are betting that they can fully control Luoxia Province before the company completes its mobilization, and negotiate with the company after forming a fait accompli... They are playing games on a series of issues such as the ownership of the Trail Blazers, the Shelter No. 0, and the regional control of Luoxia Province.
Chu Guang nodded.
The key to shelter No. 0 is in his hands.
If the Legion achieves the expected goals in the military operation of Luoxia Province, they can exchange the keys of Shelter 0 with themselves with the Trail Blazers and crew members above.
The officers in the conference room exchanged their gazes and whispered in a low voice.
Vanus looked at Chu Guang.
However... there is still a doubt here. Do I need to continue talking about it?
Chu Guang nodded.
Say whatever you think of.
Vanus nodded slightly, cleared his throat and continued.
Deploying nuclear weapons is a conspiracy, and it may not be possible to use nuclear bombs wherever they are. I think the intelligence of our allies is worthy of trust, but the problem is that their intelligence is too detailed.
Not only did they know that the legion was deploying a nuclear bomb to Luoxia Province, but they even knew where the nuclear bomb was intended to be used... I couldn't help but ask, how did they know.
Unless the king or marshal of the Falcon Kingdom is a traitor, I can't think of anyone else who can get such a specific combat plan.
Our respected manager, this is probably the case that we are doubting at this moment.
Hearing this invisible flattery, Chu Guang smiled.
To be honest, Vanus does have two brushes.
He has indeed been thinking about this for a while since that meeting with Kariman.
Including diplomatic notes with enterprises.
Including the morning mobilization speech...
Because this is really suspicious.
Before the blitzkrieg started, the desert kings did not get a little of the wind in advance.
Why did it seem like the Ren and Du meridians were opened after being hit by a random punch? The intelligence system suddenly became enlightened, turning the Falcon Kingdom and the Legion into sieves.
That's a nuclear weapon Ah.
Vanus's estimate is still a bit conservative.
Not to mention the king and marshal of the Falcon Kingdom, I'm afraid only Griffin himself knows where this nuclear bomb was thrown.
Chu Guang always had an ominous premonition in his heart. This bait might not only be to attract spies who leaked the 530 camp, but to be open-minded at the strategic level.
Underestimating your opponent is a big taboo.
The legion is very strong. If it is a full-scale war at the mobilization level, the academy and the enterprise may not be able to defeat those fanatical war madmen... Even if the enterprise's ideal city and weapons and equipment do look very stylish.
Including the previous battle in Ruigu City, the Air Marine Corps that used the power of the entire alliance to fight against the Iron Heart. With the players' individual combat capabilities being absolutely superior, the orders of each corps are implemented resolutely, and the commanders perform beyond the level, the alliance's chances of winning are only less than 30%.
If McClane hadn't been too conceited and had a series of wrong judgments in tactical terms, even if he lost a game, he wouldn't have lost the Iron Heart.
In fact, even with a series of tactical mistakes, the guy almost turned the tables at the last moment.
The league is not facing McClass now, but an old fox who is far more cunning and cautious than that guy, and is said to be a high-ranking position from the grassroots of the Army.
Rather than taking out the nuclear bomb in anger, Chu Guang felt that the man was sitting calmly on the card table and told him in a smile-like tone.
‘I plan to use a nuclear bomb.’
‘Now it’s your turn to play cards.’
Just as Chu Guang was thinking, Xiao Qi's voice suddenly came from his ears.
Master, your player found the traces of the Legion directly northeast of Oasis 4, and it seemed that a team of ten thousand people was stationed there.The player named Tail said they were hunting for treasure, but Xiao Qi felt that things were not that simple...
Xiaoqi has been monitoring the posts on the forum. After discovering suspected important information, she immediately reported it.
Upon hearing this news, Chu Guang was slightly stunned.
Oasis No. 4?
Directly northeastward?
His gaze fell on the Zhubar Mountains on the map, moved eastward, and finally stopped at the ruins in the southwest corner of Oasis 7, 150 kilometers northeast of the Camel Kingdom.
This Lost Valley is almost 900 kilometers away from the rich capital of Oasis No. 9, which can be said to be quite far away from the front line.
Going east for more than 800 kilometers, you have to go to the River Valley Province... and so on.
Chu Guang suddenly thought of something, picked up the marker from the side, and drew a red circle at the location of the Lost Valley on the map.
Vanus, sitting at the conference table, frowned slightly.
Is there anything wrong?
Chu Guang replied concisely.
...According to the report of our informant, a large number of legion ground troops were witnessed on the north side of Oasis No. 4, with a number of more than 10,000 and less than 30,000.
A surprising voice came from the conference room.
Liu Ding, the commander of the Second Corps, opened his eyes wide.
Oasis No. 4?Does the legion plan to divide his troops to attack the Camel Kingdom?
Another officer frowned.
I remember... the population of the Hump Kingdom is about 1.5 million, and I heard that industry and commerce are developed, and conservatively, I can also gather 5 full-scale teams of 10,000 people... If it is the 10,000 team at the headquarters of the Legion, there is still hope. Relying on the Falcon Kingdom's entourage army, what are they going to fight?
The wrench next to him nodded and said in a deep voice.
Moreover, Oasis No. 4 and the desert are separated by the natural danger of the Zhuobar Mountains, and the tanks may not be good... If you want to attack Petra Fortress from the front, you must configure a large number of support squadrons, and the infantry and artillery coordinated attack will have hope of winning.
The target is probably not Oasis No. 4.Vanus suddenly spoke.
The crowded conference room became quiet.
His eyes looked at him.
Chu Guang, staring at the map, nodded and said slowly.
Well, if the target was Oasis 4, they wouldn't have to station there...it could be entirely camped in the northwest, closer to their rear, rather than letting the supply line pass through the fortress they were planning to conquer.
He paused, and he continued.
Their goal... may be us.
Everyone in the conference room showed surprise expressions on their faces.
Although some people think of this possibility, they are not very sure.
If you want to win Qingquan City’s air advantage, you need to face not only the alliance, but also the Giant Rock City next to you!
Although the city lord had a low presence in this war, and could even be said to have no sense of participation at all, the radar, anti-aircraft guns and missile launchers deployed on the giant walls were not a joke.
What you mean is...that nuclear bomb is actually prepared for us?Liu Ding's expression moved slightly.
Chu Guang nodded.
If the capital of fertility falls, the resistance of the Lion Kingdom will end... I am the commander of the alliance. Normally, I must stop this from happening, and the best strategy is to transfer the Heart of Steel to Oasis No. 9.With the Iron Heart's air defense capabilities and battlefield suppression force, nuclear bombs are prevented from being delivered to nearby airspace.
But if we do this, it will hit their minds.
They clearly wanted to end the war quickly. They knew that we had figured out what they thought, so they deliberately acted anxiously, even taking out nuclear bombs and deliberately exposing flaws for us to show them, but in fact they were playing the trick of hitting the world.
Chu Guang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt his thoughts open in an instant.All the clues marked on the map are now connected together.
...Once our strategic focus shifts to Oasis 9, their planes will take off from the southern part of Luoxia Province to carry out a nuclear strike on our homeland.
The terrain of Lost Valley is a natural shelter.
Compared with the Gobi Desert with yellow sand, it is more suitable for large troops to stay for a long time.
They do not need to form absolute air excellence in the valley.
Only one or a few pilots who are not afraid of death are needed to fly a jet with a speed of Mach 2 or above and throw the nuclear bomb down the moment they break through the defense line.
Then detonate in the air.
What happened in Qingquan City 200 years ago will happen again.
The equivalent of one million tons, the absolute killing radius for exposed people under open terrain is 63 kilometers, the killing radius for people in trenches is 36 kilometers, and the tank is 28 kilometers... This is the data that can be referenced during the Cold War.
The actual killing effect will change according to the situation, but the power of destroying the world is undoubtedly enough to erase the Giant Rock City and Dawn City from the map together.
Not even very precise aiming is required.
The distance from the Falcon Kingdom near the Great Desert to the River Valley Province is too far, it should be beyond the voyage of their plane, so they need a springboard.
If my judgment is correct...
Looking at the map full of markings, Chu Guang said in a positive tone.
The thing they built near Lost Valley should be the airport!
……
On the sand dunes seven or eight kilometers away from the Lost Valley.
The tail, which was lying on the ground on the side, moved its eyelashes and slowly opened its eyes. What caught my eye was a pair of bright eyes.
Um...
Rubbing his eyes, his tail was embarrassed to smile.
Hehe, I just went offline to report to everyone, I'm sorry to wait for a long time.
Sce said jokingly.
Oh, if Awei doesn't wake up again, I will take a pen to draw regular words on your forehead.
Tail said in surprise.
Eh?!Then I'll sleep for a while.
Let's wait until you go back.
Crawling to the back slope of the sand dune, Ss got up from the ground and patted the sand on his clothes.
Fortunately, I didn't take a shower before going out.
This piece of dust must be cleaned up when you go back.
By the way...we just leave it alone?
Tail looked at the valley in the distance with some concern, obviously worried that the baby buried there would be taken the lead.
Maybe this is really possible.
God knows how long those people have been digging there.
Sce said in a casual tone.
Well, it's better to withdraw first.There were at least 10,000 people stationed there. If they were caught, they wouldn’t be full of regular words on their foreheads.
Alas!So terrible!
The tail shivered and quietly climbed down the dunes.
Go down the slope.
She whispered as she looked at Sis who had lifted her motorcycle from the sand.
But what if our baby is dug out first by the Legion?That's a Titan, maybe it can still move.
Sis made a helpless expression.
Not to mention the Titan, even if it was an interstellar cruiser there, there was nothing we could do with just the two of us.
At least.
I have to go back and make some preparations.
Petra Fortress is a trade hub in the southern part of Luoxia Province. It is better to use the money you earn to hire some people than to ride a motorcycle.
Fight a single infantry division.
Let alone the legendary SSSR card manager.
Even the Human Emperor Sigma can't do it.
If the awakened person is strong, he will not be as strong as he can hit the planet with one punch.
Throwing the motorcycle helmet to the tail with regret, Sce gently patted the back seat of the motorcycle and comforted her with a smile.
Okay, don’t be disappointed, I will find a way to help Awei find that big baby... Get in the car first, otherwise the meat and sesame paste will worry about us.
oh!What I said is... I'm gia!It's all this!After taking a look at the time on the VM, Tail was startled and immediately jumped onto the motorcycle.
A smile appeared on Sis's face, pulled down the windshield hanging on his helmet, twisted the handle and activated the electric motorcycle.
Sit firmly.
……
Morning and dusk rise from the east coast.
To be honest, although it is not a perception system, Mole sometimes really admires his sixth sense.
I just set up a flag in front of the younger brothers yesterday. Before I went online today, I received a mobilization order from the administrator to ask him to return to Dawn City immediately.
Ideal City.
On the apron on the roof of the building.
Standing not far from the apron, the mole's face was filled with reluctance and hugged the staff of the Skeleton Studio one after another.
Looking at the boss who was about to board the plane, Xue Hongliang couldn't help but say.
Can you not go to the front line if you donate money?
What are you saying? Mole looked at him seriously and said seriously, is this a problem of money?
The reason why the alliance is united under the banner of the shelter is precisely because the residents of Shelter No. 404 are always on the front line and will never proudly push the residents of the alliance to the forefront because of that blue coat.
This is an obligation!
It's also a responsibility!
Of course, this is a big picture.
To put it simply, the rewards given to each such national war activities and tasks are the most important.
If you want to make money, you can do business, but if you want to become T1 or even T0, you must go up when the league needs it.
There are two things in this game that cannot be bought with silver coins.
One is a helmet.
The other is the contribution point.
Especially the latter, it is of too much use.
Seeing the firmness in his eyes, Xue Hongliang stopped persuading and said solemnly.
boss!Take care of yourself!
Mole said with a smile.
Don't worry, your boss is lucky and will never die!When I come back, I will create glory with you again!Make our studio bigger and stronger!
After saying that, he resolutely boarded the plane, leaving a grand back for the employees and reporters behind him.
Get on the plane.
The mole saw a long-legged lady sitting in the cabin.
The man looked very beautiful, and not just beautiful. She had a smart and capable temperament, and she had the style of a president in both sitting posture and appearance.
The Mole is not a shy person, let alone facing the NPC, but she still subconsciously sat down two seats.
However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he sat down, the beauty took the initiative to talk to him.
Hello, my name is Li Shuyue.
Hello…I’m a mole.The mole was a little embarrassed and suddenly regretted taking such a casual name.
However, the beauty didn't think the name was strange and said calmly and naturally.
Where is the one who came with you?
The mole said with a smile.
Do you think Fang Chang?The person who was recalled this time was the commander of the corps. The little brother was not of sufficient level and had not yet reached his mobilization.
The relationship between the two is actually quite good, but it doesn't prevent him from saying anything if he has something to do or not.
Anyway, that guy has hurt himself a lot.
So what if you make a high contribution?
Not a dog-headed military advisor!
After all, I am the commander of the corps, so I can't help but shout "Young brother"!
oh.
Li Shuyue nodded and stopped talking, ending the topic.
As for the corps commander Ah, level Ah..., she didn't seem to be very interested, and this also made the Mole embarrassed.
……
Damn it!
Are all the NPCs in this game so real?
By the way, he didn't think Fang Chang's dog was so handsome, at least he wasn't much handsomer than himself.
Why does he have constant luck in love with love!
Any passerby NPC is interested in this guy.
The mole cursed in his heart.
Dark Silence!
It's definitely a shady scene!
It must have been betrayed the sacred py to A Guang!
In this silent atmosphere, the killer whale transport plane slowly took off, dragging the light blue arc and heading towards the west sky.
Next to the tarmac.
Xue Hongliang and a group of employees wearing skeleton T-shirts were still immersed in the sadness of losing their boss.
battlefield.
That's a place where you will die.
I hope to see you again next time, not only a box of ashes and a photo...
At this time, a reporter noticed the sad young men.
The intuition of the practitioner made him keenly smell the fragrance of news and immediately walked over with his interview drone.
Hello, may I ask, who is the commander of the Skeleton Corps... who is yours?
Xue Hongliang sniffed.
He is our boss.
boss?
The reporter showed a surprised expression.
When the reporters passing by heard this, they leaned over, took out the interview pen again, and put out the interview drone that had just been put away.
I was a little panicked by so many cameras.
After all, he is just the CEO of a small studio. Although he has seen some scenes, he has never seen such a big one. He nodded nervously.
Well... we are Skeleton Studio, we are playing games.
The reporter said in surprise.
Make a game!?But...is that gentleman not the commander of the corps?This position should be an officer.
Yes... He told us that his job is to drive tanks, and making games is his dream.
dream!
As soon as he heard this word, the reporters around him lit up, and the person who asked the question earlier immediately followed up.
Can you talk about it?
Xue Hongliang was indeed a little nervous.
But looking at the intensely interesting expressions on the faces of the people around him, he gradually found some feelings, and his speech speed and voice gradually became natural.
I still remember that during the interview that day, I met him for the first time and he told me...he had never seen such a great thing before.
He continued looking at the faces that were listening attentively.
Just wear a pair of glasses to enter a completely virtual world, communicate with real people without any obstacles, share their own stories, and bring joy to others...
He said that since he came to this city, since the moment he put on virtual reality glasses, he has found a new goal and has a new dream in his life.
Although he was born in a world full of death and ruins, he hoped to share his story with the people living in the ideal city through the magical medium of Endpoint Cloud, and bring happiness...
In fact, it is not as difficult as imagined when facing the camera.
Just pick up what everyone loves to hear.
Having grasped the core element of special identity and background, Xue Hongliang continued to make up his story while observing everyone's expressions.
A wastelander living in dire straits.
Even though I suffer from the torture and destruction of fate, I still have a dream of light and simplicity, hoping to bring more happiness to the world.
He even took out all his savings for this!
How kind this is!
When his hometown was in war, the man worth millions gave up his wealthy life in his ideal city without hesitation, embarked on the plane returning home, and rushed to the front line to resist the jackals who invaded his hometown...
Many people at the scene showed admiration on their faces, and their eyes even shook the mist in emotion.
certainly.
Not entirely because of the touch.
Many people are excited because they have dug up big news.
They had already made up a script of hundreds of thousands of words, a two-hour movie.
A reporter looked at him seriously and handed out the interview pen.
What is your game called?
After glanced at the interview drones around and those expectant gazes, Xue Hongliang's eyes were lost for a moment.
But, it was only a moment.
He knew very well.
At this moment, it was the one that his boss said, with only one chance.
Battle Royale…
Xue Hongliang opened his mouth almost conditioned.
Although his boss has never said that, he has made up so many stories, and he is not short of those sentences.
He continued in a burdened and enthusiastic voice.
It was a game adapted from our boss’s real experience on the wasteland, and everyone in our studio saw it.
I can guarantee it with personality that this game is absolutely real!
Two people were lying on the gentle raised dunes.
Their bodies were covered with desert-colored cloaks, each with a telescope, looking at the valley on the horizon to the east, a trunk of small sandy weeds shook gently beside their arms.
On the slope not far behind the two, a battery motorcycle from Goblin Technology was tilted.
Time went back several hours ago.
It wasn't completely dark at that time.
After deciding on the treasure hunt plan, Ss proposed to explore the road near the entrance of the ruins first, so he greeted Rou and Sesame Paste, rode the only motorcycle in the group, and headed towards the Lost Valley in the east with his tail.
According to the plan, they will arrive around 8 pm to confirm the status of the ruins entrance, and return before 9 o'clock to switch shifts with the meat and sesame paste to watch.
However, in fact, the two spent a lot longer than expected.
Although Goblin Technology's electric motorcycle has enough horsepower and can drive to more than 150 yards per hour, it is in the case of flat road surfaces.
The nearest Highway 7 has been cut off several times.
They can only cross-country along the edge of the road, and the speed is only about forty or fifty yards per hour. If they are faster, there is a risk of flying on a slight steep slope.
It took nearly 150 kilometers to see a slight shadow of the valley.
And at this moment, a sandstorm suddenly blew up on the Gobi Desert, and the visibility suddenly dropped to within a hundred meters. Not only did the whistling wind blow even more and more difficult for people to move forward.
In desperation, the two of them had to stop the car for the time being, leaned behind the dunes to shelter the wind, and planned to wait until the sandstorm passed before continuing to move forward.
Fortunately, the sandstorm did not last long.
But just as the two were about to continue moving forward, Sce suddenly saw the place where the sandstorm swept across the distance, and there were scattered lights flashing.
There are people in Lost Valley!
And many!
Out of caution, she put the motorcycle down on the ground, took her tail to the high point next to her, took out her telescope and watched for a while.
It doesn't matter when they see it, and the two of them were instantly shocked by the amazing discovery.
...Party.
Holding the telescope tightly in his hand, Sis's gaze searched along the distance horizon and frowned slightly.
And it's from the Legion!
Although she didn't see the black robe, she would not admit her mistake with the bulletproof armor and the rifle in the hands of those people. After all, she had fought so many times at close range.
A three-wheeled motorcycle dropped an anchor on the sand dunes, probably because of the dust storm just now.
Several soldiers were surrounding the motorcycle, fiddling with tools in the repair box, trying to fix the motorcycle.
Another patrol team came from a distance, with a total of ten people approaching the broken three-wheeled motorcycle, as if to understand the situation.
These people have high patrol density and are very vigilant.
It can be seen that there should be some amazing secrets hidden in the valley behind them.
Sis changed his direction to look at the campground surrounded by sandbag walls in the distance.
There were people working in the north, as if they were digging something, and some earth was piled up at the entrance of the valley to the south, as if they were transported out of the valley.
What are you planning to do?
Sis was also a little confused.
Awei, lend me your thermal imager to use...Awei?
No response for a long time.
Sis turned his head and looked at it, but saw his tail lying motionless on the pile of sand without any reaction.
After a little stunned, Sis then smiled and shook his head.
She could guess with her feet what Awei was doing.
She reached out and took off the thermal imager above her tail, and she put it on her head and continued to look in the east.
The world has turned black and white.
On the white sand in the distance, bright white dots swayed.
Looking at the open space north of the camp, a surprised expression appeared on Sis's face.
oh……
So bright!
……
Another world.
"Wasteland OL" official website forum, a post suddenly appeared in the player communication section where only closed beta players can speak.
Tail: Ooooooooooooooooooo!A major discovery!!(° °)
Quit smoking: What's the situation???
Ye Shi: What did you find?(surprise)
Irena: Is it delicious?(funny)
Tail: Uh, you probably can't eat it, you're from the Legion!We saw many soldiers from many legion!
Lao Bai: ???
When I heard that I met the Legion, the post suddenly became lively.
Compared to where to encounter a wild claw of death or being knocked out by the tentacles of the multi-legged beast, it is obviously more topical to those collectively appearing elite monsters.
Fringe paddling: Are you in the Golden Lizard?There may indeed be corps activities there... The guerrillas of the Restoration Army transferred 50 of their tanks and a large number of trucks and supplies. Now the north of Oasis No. 9 is full of legion patrols, and we almost bumped into it.
Debt Big Eye: +1, Awei, be careful, don’t let the legion catch it.(funny)
Construction site boy and brick: +10086, be careful of mole, that guy can draw a book.(funny)
The Mole Escaped in the Canyon: Get out!The dog has just painted that thing, and I have already washed my hands!Haha, wait and see, wait until my game is sold in Ideal City, and you all call me dad!(Blank your eyes)
Since being banned by Brother Guang, this guy has indeed not drawn any strange books on the forum for a while.
But this is even more worrying.
An unemployed painter and traveling to the valley province.
The buffs are almost full.
Elf King Fugui: Haha, good brother, you have to come on!Lao Na saved all the money she saved from eating mantis!(funny)
Irena: It's okay, he sold his butt and returned it to us. He said it himself, (funny)
Makabazi: Hahahaha.
……
Tail: Oh!Don't worry, brother on the edge, we are no longer in the Golden Lizard!I heard that Oasis No. 4 is close to the beach, and we turned around and went south two weeks ago!(ˉ?ˉ)
Night Ten: (Sweat)
Tail: Then, we found that the legion's base was found 150 kilometers away from the Dowbal Mountains, a place called Lost Valley!There is at least a team of ten thousand people there!
Edge paddling: South?!Wait, how could there be people from the legion in the south?
Commander of Quanshui: I want to know more about how many people the legion is... From the map, their troops are too scattered. If they were not planning to attack three kingdoms at once, I would always have a bad premonition.
Battlefield Atmosphere Group: Do you see clearly what they are doing there?
Tail: Of course it is treasure hunting!
Edge paddling: Treasure hunt?!
Tail: Yes!There is a very large camp there, about the same size as the previous fallen leaf camp!There were many people in the north outside the camp. They were digging on the ground with shovels and carts, and their tails were seen with thermal imaging cameras!hey-hey.
Qianfeng: It's about the same size as the Luoye Camp... It may indeed be a team of ten thousand people, and maybe there may be 20,000 or 30,000.
Spring Commander: Battlefield...
Battlefield Atmosphere Group: Don’t ask me, the manager asked me to continue lurking. I really don’t know anything. I’ll say it long ago if I know it.(Awkward)
Kakarot: Damn, can you do it?The chicken soup is almost rotten!
My darkest: That's it!Not becoming a marshal yet, that's too bad!
Battlefield Atmosphere Group: %$&!
……
At the same time, the wasteland world.
The army command of Dawn City, the combat conference room was full of people at this moment.
Although it was already late at night, there was no intention of breaking up the meeting at all.
Sitting at the conference table, the commander of the First Corps suddenly spoke.
I've been thinking about a question.
Everyone in the conference room turned their eyes to him.
Except Chu Guang staring at the map.
What's the problem.
He responded casually, and Chu Guang's gaze did not move away from the map, and his expressionless face seemed to be thinking about something.
Wrench sorted out his ideas and carefully expressed his opinions.
I was wondering...What are the benefits of using this nuclear bomb in the capital of fertility?In the eyes of the residents of Luoxia Province, the river bank is not only a tool for irrigation, but also a favor from the gods. Even if they don’t mind losing a piece of fertile soil... they are not worried about being enemies with the entire desert?
Chu Guang nodded.
He was very satisfied that his subordinates had finally grown up and would consider more issues in decision-making, including thinking from the enemy's perspective what means the other party might use.
This is also one of the questions I am thinking about... Vanus, tell him why.
Vanus, who was sitting at the conference table, nodded, looked at the commander of the First Corps sitting opposite, and spoke in gentle words.
There are many benefits. Although the price is to increase the cost of suppression, the advantage is that it can destroy the resistance will of the Lion King royal family in a short period of time and end the war early.
It is obvious that the Legion is not ready to go into full war with the company, whether it is sending airships to intercept fleeing employees, launching a sudden blitzkrieg raid, or deploying nuclear weapons like now... it is not so much a careful plan after a long period of preparation, but rather a gamble.
They are betting that they can fully control Luoxia Province before the company completes its mobilization, and negotiate with the company after forming a fait accompli... They are playing games on a series of issues such as the ownership of the Trail Blazers, the Shelter No. 0, and the regional control of Luoxia Province.
Chu Guang nodded.
The key to shelter No. 0 is in his hands.
If the Legion achieves the expected goals in the military operation of Luoxia Province, they can exchange the keys of Shelter 0 with themselves with the Trail Blazers and crew members above.
The officers in the conference room exchanged their gazes and whispered in a low voice.
Vanus looked at Chu Guang.
However... there is still a doubt here. Do I need to continue talking about it?
Chu Guang nodded.
Say whatever you think of.
Vanus nodded slightly, cleared his throat and continued.
Deploying nuclear weapons is a conspiracy, and it may not be possible to use nuclear bombs wherever they are. I think the intelligence of our allies is worthy of trust, but the problem is that their intelligence is too detailed.
Not only did they know that the legion was deploying a nuclear bomb to Luoxia Province, but they even knew where the nuclear bomb was intended to be used... I couldn't help but ask, how did they know.
Unless the king or marshal of the Falcon Kingdom is a traitor, I can't think of anyone else who can get such a specific combat plan.
Our respected manager, this is probably the case that we are doubting at this moment.
Hearing this invisible flattery, Chu Guang smiled.
To be honest, Vanus does have two brushes.
He has indeed been thinking about this for a while since that meeting with Kariman.
Including diplomatic notes with enterprises.
Including the morning mobilization speech...
Because this is really suspicious.
Before the blitzkrieg started, the desert kings did not get a little of the wind in advance.
Why did it seem like the Ren and Du meridians were opened after being hit by a random punch? The intelligence system suddenly became enlightened, turning the Falcon Kingdom and the Legion into sieves.
That's a nuclear weapon Ah.
Vanus's estimate is still a bit conservative.
Not to mention the king and marshal of the Falcon Kingdom, I'm afraid only Griffin himself knows where this nuclear bomb was thrown.
Chu Guang always had an ominous premonition in his heart. This bait might not only be to attract spies who leaked the 530 camp, but to be open-minded at the strategic level.
Underestimating your opponent is a big taboo.
The legion is very strong. If it is a full-scale war at the mobilization level, the academy and the enterprise may not be able to defeat those fanatical war madmen... Even if the enterprise's ideal city and weapons and equipment do look very stylish.
Including the previous battle in Ruigu City, the Air Marine Corps that used the power of the entire alliance to fight against the Iron Heart. With the players' individual combat capabilities being absolutely superior, the orders of each corps are implemented resolutely, and the commanders perform beyond the level, the alliance's chances of winning are only less than 30%.
If McClane hadn't been too conceited and had a series of wrong judgments in tactical terms, even if he lost a game, he wouldn't have lost the Iron Heart.
In fact, even with a series of tactical mistakes, the guy almost turned the tables at the last moment.
The league is not facing McClass now, but an old fox who is far more cunning and cautious than that guy, and is said to be a high-ranking position from the grassroots of the Army.
Rather than taking out the nuclear bomb in anger, Chu Guang felt that the man was sitting calmly on the card table and told him in a smile-like tone.
‘I plan to use a nuclear bomb.’
‘Now it’s your turn to play cards.’
Just as Chu Guang was thinking, Xiao Qi's voice suddenly came from his ears.
Master, your player found the traces of the Legion directly northeast of Oasis 4, and it seemed that a team of ten thousand people was stationed there.The player named Tail said they were hunting for treasure, but Xiao Qi felt that things were not that simple...
Xiaoqi has been monitoring the posts on the forum. After discovering suspected important information, she immediately reported it.
Upon hearing this news, Chu Guang was slightly stunned.
Oasis No. 4?
Directly northeastward?
His gaze fell on the Zhubar Mountains on the map, moved eastward, and finally stopped at the ruins in the southwest corner of Oasis 7, 150 kilometers northeast of the Camel Kingdom.
This Lost Valley is almost 900 kilometers away from the rich capital of Oasis No. 9, which can be said to be quite far away from the front line.
Going east for more than 800 kilometers, you have to go to the River Valley Province... and so on.
Chu Guang suddenly thought of something, picked up the marker from the side, and drew a red circle at the location of the Lost Valley on the map.
Vanus, sitting at the conference table, frowned slightly.
Is there anything wrong?
Chu Guang replied concisely.
...According to the report of our informant, a large number of legion ground troops were witnessed on the north side of Oasis No. 4, with a number of more than 10,000 and less than 30,000.
A surprising voice came from the conference room.
Liu Ding, the commander of the Second Corps, opened his eyes wide.
Oasis No. 4?Does the legion plan to divide his troops to attack the Camel Kingdom?
Another officer frowned.
I remember... the population of the Hump Kingdom is about 1.5 million, and I heard that industry and commerce are developed, and conservatively, I can also gather 5 full-scale teams of 10,000 people... If it is the 10,000 team at the headquarters of the Legion, there is still hope. Relying on the Falcon Kingdom's entourage army, what are they going to fight?
The wrench next to him nodded and said in a deep voice.
Moreover, Oasis No. 4 and the desert are separated by the natural danger of the Zhuobar Mountains, and the tanks may not be good... If you want to attack Petra Fortress from the front, you must configure a large number of support squadrons, and the infantry and artillery coordinated attack will have hope of winning.
The target is probably not Oasis No. 4.Vanus suddenly spoke.
The crowded conference room became quiet.
His eyes looked at him.
Chu Guang, staring at the map, nodded and said slowly.
Well, if the target was Oasis 4, they wouldn't have to station there...it could be entirely camped in the northwest, closer to their rear, rather than letting the supply line pass through the fortress they were planning to conquer.
He paused, and he continued.
Their goal... may be us.
Everyone in the conference room showed surprise expressions on their faces.
Although some people think of this possibility, they are not very sure.
If you want to win Qingquan City’s air advantage, you need to face not only the alliance, but also the Giant Rock City next to you!
Although the city lord had a low presence in this war, and could even be said to have no sense of participation at all, the radar, anti-aircraft guns and missile launchers deployed on the giant walls were not a joke.
What you mean is...that nuclear bomb is actually prepared for us?Liu Ding's expression moved slightly.
Chu Guang nodded.
If the capital of fertility falls, the resistance of the Lion Kingdom will end... I am the commander of the alliance. Normally, I must stop this from happening, and the best strategy is to transfer the Heart of Steel to Oasis No. 9.With the Iron Heart's air defense capabilities and battlefield suppression force, nuclear bombs are prevented from being delivered to nearby airspace.
But if we do this, it will hit their minds.
They clearly wanted to end the war quickly. They knew that we had figured out what they thought, so they deliberately acted anxiously, even taking out nuclear bombs and deliberately exposing flaws for us to show them, but in fact they were playing the trick of hitting the world.
Chu Guang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt his thoughts open in an instant.All the clues marked on the map are now connected together.
...Once our strategic focus shifts to Oasis 9, their planes will take off from the southern part of Luoxia Province to carry out a nuclear strike on our homeland.
The terrain of Lost Valley is a natural shelter.
Compared with the Gobi Desert with yellow sand, it is more suitable for large troops to stay for a long time.
They do not need to form absolute air excellence in the valley.
Only one or a few pilots who are not afraid of death are needed to fly a jet with a speed of Mach 2 or above and throw the nuclear bomb down the moment they break through the defense line.
Then detonate in the air.
What happened in Qingquan City 200 years ago will happen again.
The equivalent of one million tons, the absolute killing radius for exposed people under open terrain is 63 kilometers, the killing radius for people in trenches is 36 kilometers, and the tank is 28 kilometers... This is the data that can be referenced during the Cold War.
The actual killing effect will change according to the situation, but the power of destroying the world is undoubtedly enough to erase the Giant Rock City and Dawn City from the map together.
Not even very precise aiming is required.
The distance from the Falcon Kingdom near the Great Desert to the River Valley Province is too far, it should be beyond the voyage of their plane, so they need a springboard.
If my judgment is correct...
Looking at the map full of markings, Chu Guang said in a positive tone.
The thing they built near Lost Valley should be the airport!
……
On the sand dunes seven or eight kilometers away from the Lost Valley.
The tail, which was lying on the ground on the side, moved its eyelashes and slowly opened its eyes. What caught my eye was a pair of bright eyes.
Um...
Rubbing his eyes, his tail was embarrassed to smile.
Hehe, I just went offline to report to everyone, I'm sorry to wait for a long time.
Sce said jokingly.
Oh, if Awei doesn't wake up again, I will take a pen to draw regular words on your forehead.
Tail said in surprise.
Eh?!Then I'll sleep for a while.
Let's wait until you go back.
Crawling to the back slope of the sand dune, Ss got up from the ground and patted the sand on his clothes.
Fortunately, I didn't take a shower before going out.
This piece of dust must be cleaned up when you go back.
By the way...we just leave it alone?
Tail looked at the valley in the distance with some concern, obviously worried that the baby buried there would be taken the lead.
Maybe this is really possible.
God knows how long those people have been digging there.
Sce said in a casual tone.
Well, it's better to withdraw first.There were at least 10,000 people stationed there. If they were caught, they wouldn’t be full of regular words on their foreheads.
Alas!So terrible!
The tail shivered and quietly climbed down the dunes.
Go down the slope.
She whispered as she looked at Sis who had lifted her motorcycle from the sand.
But what if our baby is dug out first by the Legion?That's a Titan, maybe it can still move.
Sis made a helpless expression.
Not to mention the Titan, even if it was an interstellar cruiser there, there was nothing we could do with just the two of us.
At least.
I have to go back and make some preparations.
Petra Fortress is a trade hub in the southern part of Luoxia Province. It is better to use the money you earn to hire some people than to ride a motorcycle.
Fight a single infantry division.
Let alone the legendary SSSR card manager.
Even the Human Emperor Sigma can't do it.
If the awakened person is strong, he will not be as strong as he can hit the planet with one punch.
Throwing the motorcycle helmet to the tail with regret, Sce gently patted the back seat of the motorcycle and comforted her with a smile.
Okay, don’t be disappointed, I will find a way to help Awei find that big baby... Get in the car first, otherwise the meat and sesame paste will worry about us.
oh!What I said is... I'm gia!It's all this!After taking a look at the time on the VM, Tail was startled and immediately jumped onto the motorcycle.
A smile appeared on Sis's face, pulled down the windshield hanging on his helmet, twisted the handle and activated the electric motorcycle.
Sit firmly.
……
Morning and dusk rise from the east coast.
To be honest, although it is not a perception system, Mole sometimes really admires his sixth sense.
I just set up a flag in front of the younger brothers yesterday. Before I went online today, I received a mobilization order from the administrator to ask him to return to Dawn City immediately.
Ideal City.
On the apron on the roof of the building.
Standing not far from the apron, the mole's face was filled with reluctance and hugged the staff of the Skeleton Studio one after another.
Looking at the boss who was about to board the plane, Xue Hongliang couldn't help but say.
Can you not go to the front line if you donate money?
What are you saying? Mole looked at him seriously and said seriously, is this a problem of money?
The reason why the alliance is united under the banner of the shelter is precisely because the residents of Shelter No. 404 are always on the front line and will never proudly push the residents of the alliance to the forefront because of that blue coat.
This is an obligation!
It's also a responsibility!
Of course, this is a big picture.
To put it simply, the rewards given to each such national war activities and tasks are the most important.
If you want to make money, you can do business, but if you want to become T1 or even T0, you must go up when the league needs it.
There are two things in this game that cannot be bought with silver coins.
One is a helmet.
The other is the contribution point.
Especially the latter, it is of too much use.
Seeing the firmness in his eyes, Xue Hongliang stopped persuading and said solemnly.
boss!Take care of yourself!
Mole said with a smile.
Don't worry, your boss is lucky and will never die!When I come back, I will create glory with you again!Make our studio bigger and stronger!
After saying that, he resolutely boarded the plane, leaving a grand back for the employees and reporters behind him.
Get on the plane.
The mole saw a long-legged lady sitting in the cabin.
The man looked very beautiful, and not just beautiful. She had a smart and capable temperament, and she had the style of a president in both sitting posture and appearance.
The Mole is not a shy person, let alone facing the NPC, but she still subconsciously sat down two seats.
However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he sat down, the beauty took the initiative to talk to him.
Hello, my name is Li Shuyue.
Hello…I’m a mole.The mole was a little embarrassed and suddenly regretted taking such a casual name.
However, the beauty didn't think the name was strange and said calmly and naturally.
Where is the one who came with you?
The mole said with a smile.
Do you think Fang Chang?The person who was recalled this time was the commander of the corps. The little brother was not of sufficient level and had not yet reached his mobilization.
The relationship between the two is actually quite good, but it doesn't prevent him from saying anything if he has something to do or not.
Anyway, that guy has hurt himself a lot.
So what if you make a high contribution?
Not a dog-headed military advisor!
After all, I am the commander of the corps, so I can't help but shout "Young brother"!
oh.
Li Shuyue nodded and stopped talking, ending the topic.
As for the corps commander Ah, level Ah..., she didn't seem to be very interested, and this also made the Mole embarrassed.
……
Damn it!
Are all the NPCs in this game so real?
By the way, he didn't think Fang Chang's dog was so handsome, at least he wasn't much handsomer than himself.
Why does he have constant luck in love with love!
Any passerby NPC is interested in this guy.
The mole cursed in his heart.
Dark Silence!
It's definitely a shady scene!
It must have been betrayed the sacred py to A Guang!
In this silent atmosphere, the killer whale transport plane slowly took off, dragging the light blue arc and heading towards the west sky.
Next to the tarmac.
Xue Hongliang and a group of employees wearing skeleton T-shirts were still immersed in the sadness of losing their boss.
battlefield.
That's a place where you will die.
I hope to see you again next time, not only a box of ashes and a photo...
At this time, a reporter noticed the sad young men.
The intuition of the practitioner made him keenly smell the fragrance of news and immediately walked over with his interview drone.
Hello, may I ask, who is the commander of the Skeleton Corps... who is yours?
Xue Hongliang sniffed.
He is our boss.
boss?
The reporter showed a surprised expression.
When the reporters passing by heard this, they leaned over, took out the interview pen again, and put out the interview drone that had just been put away.
I was a little panicked by so many cameras.
After all, he is just the CEO of a small studio. Although he has seen some scenes, he has never seen such a big one. He nodded nervously.
Well... we are Skeleton Studio, we are playing games.
The reporter said in surprise.
Make a game!?But...is that gentleman not the commander of the corps?This position should be an officer.
Yes... He told us that his job is to drive tanks, and making games is his dream.
dream!
As soon as he heard this word, the reporters around him lit up, and the person who asked the question earlier immediately followed up.
Can you talk about it?
Xue Hongliang was indeed a little nervous.
But looking at the intensely interesting expressions on the faces of the people around him, he gradually found some feelings, and his speech speed and voice gradually became natural.
I still remember that during the interview that day, I met him for the first time and he told me...he had never seen such a great thing before.
He continued looking at the faces that were listening attentively.
Just wear a pair of glasses to enter a completely virtual world, communicate with real people without any obstacles, share their own stories, and bring joy to others...
He said that since he came to this city, since the moment he put on virtual reality glasses, he has found a new goal and has a new dream in his life.
Although he was born in a world full of death and ruins, he hoped to share his story with the people living in the ideal city through the magical medium of Endpoint Cloud, and bring happiness...
In fact, it is not as difficult as imagined when facing the camera.
Just pick up what everyone loves to hear.
Having grasped the core element of special identity and background, Xue Hongliang continued to make up his story while observing everyone's expressions.
A wastelander living in dire straits.
Even though I suffer from the torture and destruction of fate, I still have a dream of light and simplicity, hoping to bring more happiness to the world.
He even took out all his savings for this!
How kind this is!
When his hometown was in war, the man worth millions gave up his wealthy life in his ideal city without hesitation, embarked on the plane returning home, and rushed to the front line to resist the jackals who invaded his hometown...
Many people at the scene showed admiration on their faces, and their eyes even shook the mist in emotion.
certainly.
Not entirely because of the touch.
Many people are excited because they have dug up big news.
They had already made up a script of hundreds of thousands of words, a two-hour movie.
A reporter looked at him seriously and handed out the interview pen.
What is your game called?
After glanced at the interview drones around and those expectant gazes, Xue Hongliang's eyes were lost for a moment.
But, it was only a moment.
He knew very well.
At this moment, it was the one that his boss said, with only one chance.
Battle Royale…
Xue Hongliang opened his mouth almost conditioned.
Although his boss has never said that, he has made up so many stories, and he is not short of those sentences.
He continued in a burdened and enthusiastic voice.
It was a game adapted from our boss’s real experience on the wasteland, and everyone in our studio saw it.
I can guarantee it with personality that this game is absolutely real!
