Chapter 157

Far away.

The snow and more than a dozen gunshots played up a trace of sadness for the funeral.

Three dead Marines were sent to the freezer, and the crew of the pioneer held a simple funeral for them.

In order to prevent the corpses of their comrades in arms from being eaten by different species, they will freeze the corpses and store them in the morgue. After the triumph of the expedition, they will take them back to ideal city for burial.

When the pioneer set out, there were 100 people. Now there are only 90 people left. Three people are lying in the medical cabin for treatment, waiting for the implant operation.

Looking at the remains of his comrades in arms, Lu Yang felt a little heavy, even a little confused.

He does not doubt the decision of the top management of the enterprise, nor is he afraid of dying on the way to find refuge No. 0. However, what worries him is that he does not know how many people will die if he goes on like this.

After arriving at the valley province, the staff has been reduced by 10%.

If we continue to go west into the wilderness

At this time, his adjutant Yi Hai came to him and whispered.

"We should increase our weapons reserves by at least 500 tons. The more we go west, the more likely we are to encounter Legion forces. I'm afraid... There will be new situations at that time."

Luyang nodded.

"Last night, I discussed this issue with section chief Li of the logistics section. On the one hand, we need to increase weapons reserves. On the other hand, we need to actively obtain reinforcements from the enterprise headquarters. I intend to help the residents of shelter 404 strengthen their operation base. If the reinforcements from the enterprise headquarters arrive later, we can obtain supplies from them."

Not just for this level of consideration.

Lu Yang was worried that general Klaas of the expeditionary army learned that refuge 404 won the title of "permanent partner of the enterprise" shortly after the loss of his 1000 person brigade.

That undoubtedly told them that refuge 404 played a decisive role in the outcome of the war.

Perhaps general Klaas would not lose his mind for a commander and forget what he was doing in the valley province.

But it is hard to say whether they will take other retaliatory actions.

After all, those Marauders are the "number one fans" of the Legion. Many marauders' skills in compiling and taming slaves are simply copied from the Legion.

Yi Hai nodded gently.

"I think so, too."

……

It's light up.

In the distant operation camp, the industrious residents of refuge 404 have begun to light a fire to cook.

Sitting in the camp, Fang Chang wrapped a bandage around his left arm and a bowl in his hand. He drank a mouthful of noodle soup and said with emotion.

"Hey, fortunately, brother scrambled egg is still alive, otherwise I can't eat this noodles."

The bow and life were saved.

The only pity is that the night ten brothers were sacrificed. Lao Bai couldn't get on the number today. Brother gale lost an arm and is being treated on the pioneer.

He can only sit here and eat this bowl of noodles alone.

"At least I'm also a physique department. It's not that easy," said the fried egg brother with a plaster on his face. "Next."

Although more than 100 people died last night, the living people did not seem to be affected. They just sighed occasionally in gossip, as if they were sorry for the victims.

Leaning against the waterwheel and eating the steamed stuffed bun just bought, Yuan Hao looked at the white smoke floating in the distance and couldn't help sighing.

"Maybe we should learn from their optimism."

"Yes..." Witt nodded, his eyes full of admiration and emotion. "Maybe that's why they can survive in this tragic world."

"Today's soybean milk is good."

"Indeed! To be honest, I really want to leave the planting cabin to them... It's a waste to let the freeze-drying workshop and mobile kitchen deal with those precious ingredients."

At this time, a painted black transport plane flew in the direction of Linghu Lake in the south.

It looks like a dolphin. It has a wide nose and a slender fuselage. The two engines in front and behind at the bottom of the cabin spray an enchanting blue fire arc to push the fuselage forward.

The electromagnetic point defense on the top of the pioneer aimed at it, followed its outline and moved slowly for a while, and then fired two mass bombs.

The explosion that broke through the sound barrier forced the plane to stop. It stopped forward wisely and landed slowly in the open area south of the pioneer.

When the engine turned off, four men in exoskeletons jumped out of the cabin and walked far towards the pioneer.

Many players in the action camp saw this scene and showed surprised expressions on their faces.

"Shit?"

"Helicopter without propeller!"

"The engine with blue light is so handsome..."

"If only I could buy one!"

"One million silver coins. Go and buy it."

"Shut up quickly. I'm sorry to be heard by the planner."

For this group of uninvited guests, although the pioneer did not sound the alarm, it also entered the level I combat readiness stage. The employees of the logistics section took the elevator back to the interior of the fort, and four Marines wearing power armor came down from the elevator instead.

With three teammates, Captain Lu Yang stared at the four people in front of him and frowned gently.

"Who are you?"

The first man stepped forward and said politely.

"We are from Jushi civil corps. My name is Lihua."

Luyang stared at him.

"The first development corps of Yinyi group, Lu Yang, explain your intention."

"After the aftermath, we don't want to intervene in your contradiction, but after all, this conflict occurred in our territory..."

Yu Guang glanced at the fixed wing UAV taking off from above the fort. Li Hua reluctantly raised his hands. "Don't be nervous, friends from afar, anyway, your fight is over. How about stopping now? You might as well deal with the prisoners to us, and we can pay a ransom for them... It's no use for you to keep them anyway?"

"Are you here on behalf of the Legion?" Lu Yang's tone sank.

Li Hua said.

"A neutral third party. Of course, if you refuse, we won't say anything. After all, he is your prisoner and you have the right to deal with him."

Luyang pondered for a moment and said.

"I'm not the only one who makes decisions about the captives. I have to ask our allies for their opinions."

"Ally?" the man was stunned and exchanged surprised eyes with his teammates. Finally, he looked at Lu Yang and nodded helplessly, "OK... We can wait."

How dare anyone meddle in the affairs of the Legion?

What a warrior!

Seeing those people back on the plane, Lu Yang also returned to the pioneer with his subordinates and hung up a phone to Chu Guang.

When the phone called, Chu Guang happened to be at the office and received the pension payment list from Luo Hua.

117000cr and a magnetic confinement plasma processing machine tool.

Yes, the latter is free.

After the battle, the chief of the logistics section changed his previous attitude and decided to repair the machine tool for them free in return for the help of shelter 404 in the encounter.

However, the technology of that machine tool is complex, and it will take about a week to repair it completely. He needs to wait patiently for a while. Luo Hua assured Chu Guang that she would definitely deliver it to them before leaving.

Chu Guang certainly doesn't mind waiting. He's not in a hurry.

It's blood to save 100000 Cr, okay?

The price he paid was only 117 active substances. Because of the more than 2000 bodies left by those clones, rounding is equal to no cost.

In addition, there is a pension of 117000cr. It's great to buy guns or grain, okay?

Of course, due to the huge amount of materials involved in tens of thousands of Cr, Luohua also reminded Chu Guang that the production capacity of the pioneer is limited. If it is necessary to purchase a large number of materials, it is best to place an order in advance. Their inventory will not reserve a lot, and it takes time to arrange production.

Like assault rifles.

Such as agricultural products.

If you can't deliver it before departure, you can only give them the money and let them buy it with the caravan of the enterprise.

Of course, these problems are not a problem in Chu Guang's view.

If shelter 404 becomes a permanent partner of the enterprise, even if the CR is not spent, it is no problem. It can be used one day.

Chu Guang was happy at the moment, but he couldn't be too excited at the moment. He felt that he took all his 16 points to hold his smile.

However, he was not happy for a while, and soon received a call from Lu Yang

"Boulder City? They're going to redeem people?" Chu Guang was stunned after listening to captain Lu's words.

Two days ago, he was still saying that the people in this huge stone city had no movement for a long time. As a result, they came early this morning.

"Yes." in the holographic image, Lu Yang nodded. "Their people have just arrived in the northern suburbs."

Chu Guang then asked.

"How did they come?"

Such heavy snow!

The whole road from the northern suburbs to the third ring road has been closed. This is not a short ten or twenty kilometers, but a problem of turning over several mountains and drilling several holes!

The most important thing is that they didn't go through the north out of the city viaduct. The hummingbirds wandering in this area didn't even see their figure at all.

Can't you cross the lake?

Lu Yang: "it's a twin engine rotorcraft."

Chu Guang: "

ok

He wasted his expression.

However, since they can afford to fly, they are not ordinary mercenaries or mercenaries. They are probably from the people's corps of Boulder City.

Looking at Lu Yang's holographic image, Chu Guang looked serious. He didn't even have a ransom, so he said.

"We can't take this ransom!"

Lu Yang looked at Chu Guang and asked.

"We didn't promise them. I'd like to know your views before deciding how to deal with the prisoners."

Opinion?

What do you think?

It would be a lot of fun if the prisoners were put back and the expeditionary forces in the North knew that they had ruined their good deeds.

Although the expeditionary troops of the Legion will know sooner or later that they did it, the possible consequences of knowing the same thing in different ways are completely different.

If vanus did not return, even if the general of the expedition knew the inside story, he might not send someone to the south to search for a stupid loser.

The marching speed was slow in heavy snow. When the snow stopped, the pioneer had long disappeared. It was not worth crossing 500 kilometers to beat a group of Hicks.

When people go less, they give away their heads. When people go more, they can't get back their capital.

But if vanus goes back alive, it's hard to say.

What if this guy persuades his general, gathers a team of 1000 people and runs back to find a field?

It's not completely impossible.

Considering the contacts of the commander in the Legion and the expeditionary army, and the possible kinship, Chuguang can list at least four completely different possibilities.

Lu Yang asked with a little thought.

"What do you think is better?"

"If you don't intend to take him with you when you leave, give us these prisoners," Chu Guangcheng said, looking at Lu Yang in the holographic image. "After the Northern Expedition army is defeated, I will give him a chance to redeem himself, but not now."

It's definitely not good to let him go. It's not appropriate to kill him. It's best to stay until the expeditionary army withdraws from the valley province. Depending on the specific situation, decide whether to dispose of him or give him a chance to redeem himself.

The commanders of the Legion are slave owners and can always find ways to squeeze some benefits from them.

It's really not good. It's the same to sell to Boulder at that time.

At least during the period when the expeditionary army of the Legion was still in the valley province, Chu Guang could not put this unstable factor back.

Lu Yang probably thought of this layer and nodded.

"OK, in fact, I don't agree to let him go now. At least before we leave, we have to control him and make sure he won't run around. Since we have the same idea, I'll play well with the messengers from boulder."

Chu Guang was relieved and nodded his head gently.

"So good."

……

The painted black helicopter took off again and returned to Jushi city on the edge of the Third Ring Road of Qingquan city.

Looking at the farther and farther pioneer, Li Hua had some regrets on his face.

The militia soldier sitting next to him couldn't help asking.

"Sir, let's just go?"

Li Hua glanced at him.

"What else? What better idea do you have?"

The soldier shut up at once.

He can have any good ideas.

He was just worried that the Colonel would blame them for their failure.

But speaking of it, these hillbilles in the northern suburbs are brave enough to get involved in the disputes between the Legion and enterprises.

Are they going to dance in the minefield?

I don't understand.

Not far from the operation camp.

The players who thought there would be a new plot scattered one after another and went to do their own business.

"What the hell are these people doing here?"

"I don't know..."

"Who do you think those people will be?"

"The equipment is different from that of the enterprise... Are they from boulder?"

"It's possible."

At 12 a.m. in the game time and 12 noon in the real time tomorrow, a booty auction will be held on the official website.

From the pictures posted in the announcement, many good things are on the list of the auction. Many small players who are still online have decided to make some money at this time. When the auction is held, they can also take pictures of their favorite equipment.

Meanwhile, on the pioneer.

Lying on the medical bed, the wind looked at his right hand in surprise, and his face was full of disbelief.

That's a manipulator.

The shiny steel shell looks quite strong and heavy, but it doesn't affect its flexibility at all.

To be honest, it doesn't look like righteousness at all.

It's like growing out of him!

At that time, he was lying in the trench. He thought he would go down to accompany ten ob at night. Unexpectedly, a soldier wearing exoskeleton rescued him, croaked, and then carried him on a stretcher.

In short, he seems to be the only seriously injured person who survived.

In order to get him back, the pioneer carried him to the operating table, injected him with anesthetic... And then the strong wind dropped the line.

In reality, I spent an ordinary afternoon. At night, the gale just put on the helmet with a try attitude, but unexpectedly, it was successfully connected.

When he woke up from his coma, he found himself like this.

Then the door of the infirmary opened.

The doctor in the surgical suit came in.

"How do you feel when you wake up?"

Strong wind: "

What is this man talking about.

No subtitles.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the doctor continued with a slight sigh.

"Sorry, we have tried our best. More than 90% of the tissue in your right hand has been necrotic, so we can only amputate you. Later, we checked your nervous system and found that the neurons were unexpectedly active, which just met the conditions for prosthesis implantation, so we installed this mechanical arm for you."

"This manipulator is as like as two peas, but it is not very convenient for life. But it is quite convenient to carry heavy weights and manipulate instruments. We have no conditions to create bionic elements. If you expect the same feeling as before, you can take care of the business caravans... If you are lucky, you should be able to buy them."

Gale couldn't understand what the doctor was talking about. He just felt that the new arm was terrible. He wanted to run and pretend to be forced with his little friends now——

Oh, no, it should be good news!

This wave is more than good.

It's making a lot of money, okay!

When the doctor finished, the wind sincerely nodded.

"Thank you!"

A smile appeared on the doctor's face. Although he didn't understand what he said, he could still distinguish the patient's expression.

"You're welcome. That's what we should do!"

……

Take the elevator to get down from the Pathfinder. The strong wind returning to the operation camp just heard the conversation of the players around.

"There seems to be another collection task... What's the point of moving stones to the site sites in the northern urban area? Are you going to burn cement again?"

"I don't know, don't worry about him! Anyway, the task income is quite high. Just go and have a look."

After this battle, there seems to be a wave of soft updates in the game. Although the bug of the expansion is still unresolved, there are a lot of new tasks, so that there is a labor shortage in the operation camp.

In addition to the task of recycling garbage, old Luca also released some tasks of collecting stones and driving trucks.

The trucks previously captured from the Legion were taken to the operation camp. The ally's fortress seems to have a new action - a modular production tool is deployed next to the operation camp.

Judging from the materials stacked nearby, which module seems to produce cement?

But the strong wind still doesn't quite understand what these people want cement for. Do they still plan to build a permanent fortification here?

At this time, the commander came over and was about to say hello. He glanced at his arm.

"Sleeping trough?! what's the matter with your arm."

A sullen smile appeared on that sullen face.

"I don't know. I woke up like this."

"Go!" the chief excitedly stretched out his hand to pull him.

"What are you doing?"

"There seems to be a group of mutated snow wolves on the battlefield in Yumu district. I don't know where they wandered from. In short, it affects our recovery of cloned human bodies," the square commander put a bag of Javelin into the hand of the gale and said with a smile. "I just took the task of driving away the mutated snow wolves. Why don't you try it?"

Fengfeng just had this plan. He wanted to try the power of the mechanical arm. He weighed the feather light javelin bag in his hand and nodded his head.

"OK... When shall we start?"

"Right now! The truck to Yumu district is about to leave. Let's hurry to rub it. It's not far from ten kilometers!"

The engineer and logistics staff standing next to the cement production workshop looked up at the back of the two players.

"... are they hunting?"

"It seems so."

"I always feel that the man with the javelin looks familiar."

"I remember him. He was the one who was rescued from the battlefield yesterday. His arms were all blown out, and only half of his drooping sleeves were connected to his shoulders! Section chief Li personally arranged the prosthetic implant operation for him. Now he must be awake..."

As they spoke, their faces showed admiration.

As soon as he got off the operating table, he went out hunting with weapons.

That's awesome!

(RMB 5.3 million a day, please get a ticket! After a few chapters, the action camp will become a new gathering point, equivalent to the second "town" in MMORPG. In the early stage, it will be similar to the caravan post station, which is related to the northern resource collection point and the hunting ground in elmu District in the northwest. What do you think is a better name? If you have a good name, use yours!)
