This Game Is Too Realistic
chapter-141-1

[Mission: To the operation camp]

[Introduction: Volunteers from Outpost 404, thank you for your help! The reinforcements escorting you to the operation camp have arrived at the north gate of Wetland Park. We have prepared a warm barrack for you ten kilometers away. Please come with us now!]

[Requirement: Follow the crew of the Pioneer to the operation camp and start the follow-up mission.]

[Reward: 10 Event Points]

North gate of the outpost.

The players who were ready to go had assembled. None of them looked like laborers who were going to do hard work at all. Instead, all of them looked a bit like a group of curious tourists going on an outing.

Players who did not get the qualifications watched with envy. Especially when they heard people say that they would get 10 event points by simply arriving at the destination, their envy almost turned to hatred.

"They would get 10 event points just because they go to the new map, is this reasonable?"

"The gap is forcibly widened as soon as the expansion is released. Is this reasonable?"

"Unreasonable! Too unreasonable!"

"Developers! Get out here now! Explain this!"

However, there was no use.

Those who were going to the new map were the majority, only the minority stayed behind.

Ample Time, who was standing in the front of the team of lucky players, laughed and said, "Brothers, don’t panic, we will scout the new map for you! If there is anything good, I will update it on the forum as soon as possible! In that way, when it is your turn, you won’t have to run around blindly."

Escaping Mole, who was late, immediately shouted in anger when he heard this. "Screw you! Are you not ashamed of saying this? All the good stuff will be taken away by the time we go over! What about your dungeon? Don’t you want to clear that first? The priority to explore is only seven days!”

Ample Time chuckled, "There’s no rush. Besides, the new map is much more interesting than a dungeon. Maybe you can help me clear the monsters in the dungeon first?"

Escaping Mole growled angrily in response, “Fuck off!"

In the distance, a pitch-black exoframe appeared in the snow-covered forest and walked towards the north gate of the outpost.

Arriving outside the market at the north gate, Chu Guang grabbed the right hand stretched out by Captain Lu Yang, shook it and said with a smile. "Please take care of my people."

Lu Yang promised solemnly and seriously. "I swear on my honor and credit score, I will guarantee the safety of each of them!"

What Chu Guang actually wanted to say was that he didn’t need to swear on his honor and credit score. If there were really some accidents that happened to his player, he just needed to give him some compensation.

He won’t ask for much.

1000CR would be enough!

Right, then again, what is a credit score?

At this time, the players standing around noticed that the inferior-version armor on their administrator was gone, and it was replaced by an expensive-looking exoskeleton. In addition, apart from a hammer hanging on his back, there was also a cool looking rifle next to the hammer.

Although there were too many surprising elements, what surprised them the most was that their dear administrator actually changed equipment again!

"Dang! Check out the administrator’s exoskeleton!"

"Huh? When did he change his gear?!"

"My god, Fallout 2077 has become Cyberpunk 2077!"

"Come on, guys. Didn’t Escaping Mole analyze it on the forum already? The NPCs in this game could become stronger depending on the player’s behavior in the game! After a wave of rational analysis, it must be because of our hard work that our administrator has changed to a new skin!"

"This is so cool!"

"Brothers, let’s try harder to get the administrator an exoframe!"

"Yeah!"

While his captain and the shelter administrator were talking, Luo Hua who was standing beside them glanced at the unresponsive VM and said with a frown, "Why is this translation function sometimes working and sometimes not working?"

"..."

Luo Hua turned to Ace and asked, "Hey, what are they talking about?"

"..."

Luo Hua couldn’t help but continue speaking, "Are you not curious at all? Uh, fine then, just pretend that I never asked... I’m going to boil some water and defrost the frozen food."

Finally, ace spoke. "I want the corn flavored one."

"..." It was Luo Hua’s turn to be speechless.

After Chu Guang waved towards the backs of his players and Captain Lu Yang, sending them away, he suddenly noticed Luo Hua who was talking not far from him.

The dude looked like the type that couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

Thinking of this, Chu Guang suddenly had an idea.

However, it was still too early, far from the time to eat. He still had things to do later, so he decided to do it when he came back at night.

...

In the wild, it would take about 200 minutes to walk over. After all, the road conditions in the wild were slightly better than those in the city.

In order to clear the snow on the roads for the residents of Shelter 404, Lu Yang also brought an off-road vehicle when he came. The bumper at the front of the vehicle was installed with a snow shovel, so it could clear the snow on the road while driving in front of the group.

The morale of these shelter residents was quite high, and their physical fitness was also very strong. Originally, Lu Yang was worried about whether they would be tired. But later he found that his worries were purely unnecessary.

Before 10:00 in the morning, the group finally arrived near the Pioneer land fortress after 2 hours.

Looking at the four mountain-like steel fortresses that were connected to each other, many players had expressions of surprise and even excitement on their faces.

The huge structure sat on the wasteland, and behind the towering crawler were ravines extending to the horizon, with no end in sight.

No matter if it was grass, towering trees, broken roads or a deserted country house, they would all become a pile of gravel and rubbles under its feet.

There was no road ahead, but wherever it went would become one.

Looking up at the towering fortress, Sword Execution, who was a civil engineer, reacted like the other players next to him. He raised his head and his eyes widened in shock.

In the face of such a magnificent engineering miracle, he felt like a caveman as he looked up at the engineering marvel.

Even though people kept reminding him that it was just a game, the immersive shock was real.

After his Adam’s apple moved for a long time, he only squeezed two words out of his mouth.

"HOLY SHIT..."

This is too shocking!

Night Ten, who was standing not far from him, also raised his head and yelled, "Holy shit". However, the shock he felt was completely different from what Sword Execution felt. "... This expansion pack is too freaking awesome!"

After all, it was indeed rare for games to bring the good things out during the testing stage.

The players continued to follow the NPC to move on.

When they arrived at the operation camp next to the Pioneer, they happened to see the huge land-based fortress unfold a gantry crane-like structure before using a mechanical cantilever to remove a container-like module from its body. It was deployed in an open space about 5 meters away from the steel platform.

Cloud of dust instantly rose into the air.

The staff in gray coats stepped forward, pulled out an arm-thick pipeline from the side of the fortress platform, connected it to the module that had just been deployed on the ground, and then entered the parameters on the touch screen.

After the power was connected, the equipment started working, but there was only a humming sound. None of the players knew what was going on inside.

The two survivors who served as assistants beside old Luca opened their eyes wide and exchanged shocked glances with each other.

"What is that?"

"The production workshop." Hearing the conversation between the two, Captain Lu Yang smiled and said, "That should be a carbon dioxide trap, which produces starch and glucose. We will also deploy one for producing long-chain alkanes and olefins in a moment. The last one that will be deployed will be the production workshops for smelting alloys and cutting."

"But this is not urgent. We will continue to deploy after your people have rested well and leave the camp."

Deploying the modular production workshop would kick up a lot of dust, so they wanted to try their best to choose a time when there were few people in the operation camp.

The two natives next to them looked at each other in confusion. They didn’t understand what the man dressed like a tin can was saying, and why they had to wait for them to set off before continuing to deploy at all.

Luca understood a little bit, but only the second half of what was said.

As for carbon dioxide traps, long-chain alkanes, olefins, and whatever else, he just treated it as some kind of garbage that was harder to pick up in the wasteland.

...

The operation camp where the players were stationed was next to the fortress with less than 100 meters distance between them.

All the barracks were sprayed with heat-activated polymer, so it only took one night to build.

These houses looked like concrete from a distance but plastic to the touch. Although they were light in texture, they were not bad at all, and they were quite warm and soundproof.

There were 5 rows of barracks. The structure and layout were very similar to the prefab houses on the construction site. They were divided into upper and lower floors. There were 22 single rooms on each floor, measuring 3x4m, which was more than enough room for a single bed and a folding table.

In addition, there was a public bathroom and toilet for men and women in the center of the barracks, while the second floor had a water tank for water storage.

Including the public area in the middle, the entire camp covered an area of 9000 square meters, which was equivalent to a stadium with a runway of 400 meters. The floor area ratio was still acceptable, and it even looked a little more spacious than the players’ outpost.

The perimeter of the camp was patrolled by two quadrotor drones and two remote-controlled all-terrain crawler vehicles, which were responsible for clearing approaching monsters or other threats.

Seeing Li De at the gate of the barracks, Luca’s expression was a little restrained. When he thought of how he was representing the administrator, he still straightened his back...
