This Game is Too Real Chapter 258

   Chapter 258 Encounter on the Fifth Ring Road

  The gate of the boulder city.

   The man in full-body plate armor stood like a statue, and the temperament of his whole body was out of tune with his surroundings, which attracted the attention of mercenaries and traders in the past.

   Not only because of his height of 2.5 meters, but also because of his armor, which was armed from the top of his head to his toes, there was hardly any gap. Even the helmet welded with steel plates had only a few small eyes that seemed to slip through the net.

This guy……

   Don't you use your eyes to see the road?

  Two mercenaries lined up at the city gate, nothing to brag about.

   "I bet that armor won't hold me for a whole shuttle."

   "Shh, keep your voice down, that guy might be an Awakener."

   "What about the Awakened? There are more Awakeneds who died in my hands than Death Claws!" The mercenary did not panic at all. The fifty meters above the city gate were also within the jurisdiction of the militia.

   Forget about the Awakened.

   What if it was a Bonechew tribal tank?

  The towed artillery on the giant wall is enough to crush all armor.

The companion next to    obviously didn't believe what he said, and said with a sneer.

   "Stop bragging, and I don't know who urinated his pants when he heard the cry of Deadpaw."

   "You say it again!"

   Ignoring the chatter of the people around him, the man in armor stayed at the door for a while, then walked to the Faraway Wind Hotel across the street.

   The waiter standing at the entrance of the hotel was not too surprised by this man in heavy armor. Among the many guests he has received, this kind of attire can only be regarded as conservative at best, not even strange.

   Don't say he's wearing anything, even if he's not wearing anything, he won't say a word.

   "Welcome, sir, do you need a room?"

   A dull sound wafted from the armor.

   "This is the northern suburbs?"

   "Northern suburbs?"

   The waiter was stunned for a moment, then answered subconsciously.

   "This is Boulder, not a country place."

   The man continued to ask.

   "North Suburbs, how to get there."

   Looking at the scarlet in the gap of the helmet, the waiter felt his heartbeat freeze for half a beat. He wanted to say something perfunctory, but his Adam's apple moved and said.

   "Follow the road ahead and go straight up the elevated road, then go east again and see a crooked building, then go straight north..."

The    man nodded, and without saying thank you, dragged his heavy body and walked towards the elevated direction.

The    man doesn't seem to worry that the person he asks for directions will deceive himself.

   The waiter standing at the door of the hotel stared intently at the man's back and muttered something in his mouth.

   "Damn..."

   "How come the eyes are the same as those of the gnaw."

  【The fat sheep are already on their way. 】

   Four-ring line edge.

  In an abandoned shop, a man in an animal skin coat sat in front of the extinguished brazier, unfolding a crumpled note in his hand.

   He had been playing with this note in his hand for some time.

   His name is Wu Qiu, a mercenary, and an awakener.

   In Boulder City, awakening is not a particularly rare thing, but there are very few people who are like him who are clearly awakened. Many business groups and caravans are very happy to recruit the Awakened into their team, and spend a lot of money to train them and give them the best weapons and equipment.

  On the wasteland, only fists are the greatest protection. Powerful force can not only deter the little ones, but also effectively reduce risks and insurance premiums. Businessmen in Boulder City are particularly sensitive to these two things.

   However, Wu Qiu is different from them.

   One is that he hates living a restrained life, and the other is that his reputation is really not very good.

   Since two employers died in his hands, the middleman who introduced him to the task lost a lot of money, and few people are willing to introduce him to the job of honesty and money.

but……

Who cares?

   At least he was quite satisfied with his living condition.

   To serve as a guard for those cunning profiteers, the reward for a day is up to 10 chips, but if the weak and arrogant poor **** is robbed, this number may increase a hundred times or even a thousand times.

   Fame?

   Might as well wipe your ass.

   However, Wu Qiu does not consider himself a plunderer, although he knows a lot of plunderers and occasionally picks up jobs from them.

   Like now.

   A week ago, a batch of spirit leaves appeared out of nowhere in Boulder City, and a bottle of 10-chip dilution made a lot of people rich.

   Someone was eyeing this piece of fat and offered him a price.

   Grab two blue jackets in the northern suburbs, and don't care about the rest. In addition to the goods they shipped to the northern suburbs, they could get an additional 5,000 chips.

   Wu Qiu agreed without thinking.

   In his opinion, these 5,000 chips are no different from white picks.

Bought the gangs in the slums to help stalking, he then hired twenty or so cannon fodder from the slums, gave them weapons, and then taught them how to shoot, and promised them 50 chips as a reward, the requirement is to catch at least Two live.

  50 chips.

   For the people in the city, it is less than a month's salary, but for the survivors who eat scraps and scavenge for a living, these fifty chips are enough for them to easily pass the first half of the year.

   Of course, a team cannot have only cannon fodder.

   In order to be safe, he also sent four of his men to help.

  According to the plan, they will start when those people are close to the edge of the Fifth Ring Road. If there is no accident, there should be results by now.

   Just then, footsteps came from outside the door.

   Put away the note in his hand, Wu Qiu raised his eyes and looked at the men standing at the door.

   "Any news?"

   Wuqiu is ready to receive his reward.

   But what he didn't expect was that the man standing at the door lowered his head and didn't speak.

   The heavy expression on his face made Wu Qiuyin vaguely guess something, and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

"Ran?"

   Sweat seeped from the man's forehead.

   Feeling the venomous snake-like gaze, he said daringly.

"Yes……"

   Wu Qiu suddenly stood up from his chair.

  I saw him striding to the door, grabbed the man by the collar, pressed him against the door frame, and stared at him.

   "There are only eight people on the other side. You brought more than 20 people to block them, but you told me... let them slip away?"

   Feeling the murderous gaze, the man's face was full of horror, and he explained quickly.

"This, this can't be entirely my fault, there are indeed only eight of them, but four of them are Awakened. Those cannon fodders are not useful at all, I have stressed with them countless times, divided into two teams, flanked from the side, but they only Knowing that, he rushed forward, was beaten in pain, and then swarmed back..."

   He didn't even dare to say that in less than fifteen minutes, half of them were beaten to death by the other side, and the other side was almost fine except for some minor injuries.

   So much so that he and three other brothers didn't dare to go up...

   "What a waste!"

   Really can't count on these guys!

   dropped the collar in his hand, Wu Qiu cursed, turned around and walked back, picking up the Drone X-2 assault rifle leaning against the leg of the chair.

   "Call all the brethren."

   "I personally lead the team this time!"

   He still doesn't believe it.

   It's just a group of blue jackets, what tricks can you play!

  Wuqiu is only worried about one thing now, after those blue coats made a deal, they went back to the cave and couldn't hide.

  If this is the case, the ghost knows when he will have to wait to finish the deal.

  Linghu Wetland Park South Entrance.

   Five people and one bear are escorting the caravan from the outpost, heading towards Qingquan City with high morale.

  Although this time there were more guards than last time, one person and one bear, but there was a lot of money in the caravan, and the eyelids couldn't help but jump.

   He doesn't doubt the combat effectiveness of these blue jackets, after all, he has seen it several times with his own eyes.

  Whether it is the archer, the macho who can use the machine gun as a rifle, or the "mechanical hand", the combat effectiveness is first-class.

However……

   Those people were slightly injured in the last battle, and this time they went to Boulder City with another group of people.

   does not mean to look down upon.

   He just felt like they were on an outing...

   "Damn it! It's a bear with a tail..."

   "Alright, alright, don't be sad," Si Si patted his tail and said comfortingly, "Wait a while to get the VM back for you to ride, okay?"

   "What the hell? Have you tacitly agreed that I will give it for nothing!" Yaya, who was riding on the back of the big white bear, protested.

  Roshan Damomo: "Wait, wait a minute, why do I feel like I've become a mount?"

  Siss looked to the side with a subtle expression.

   "I didn't say that."

   Fujito who was walking in the back row said worriedly.

   "Yow, don't interrupt, you are the reconnaissance position, keep an eye on the front."

  Speaking of which, since she got the qualification for the beta test, she has been playing this game as a simulation business game. Every day she is not running the Fujiteng hut, or visiting the sisters' house of Akica Akiba.

   This is her first time in such a dangerous place.

  Looking at the timid Fuji, the one riding on the bear's back said proudly.

   "Hey, don't worry, the perception system's intuition is passively triggered! I've tried it several times!"

  Rourou: "Don't move around, I... I mean the bear's fur is messed up by you."

   "It's okay! Let me help you rua!"

   As for the set of iron cans on Yaya, Boss Xia had no choice but to help them make a leather saddle for the bear.

   One thing to say, Boss Xia's hands-on ability is still very strong, and the temporary DIY products are much easier to use than the unconscionable goods made by Mosquitoes.

   Raven riding on the flesh is like a heroic female knight, and the 300kg plate armor is full of security.

   Of course, the premise is not to speak.

   The two caravan guards looked at each other, and invariably looked at the only normal guard.

  Kia swallowed.

   "Are you sure they are capable of fighting?"

   He has painted both arms, hopefully this is not the last assignment of his career.

   Xu Shun nodded and said seriously.

   "Of course! I've seen it."

   Qian Lai coughed lightly.

   "To be honest, I have an ominous premonition... The group of people we met before clearly didn't look like ordinary predators."

   Wang Zhong, who had not spoken, nodded.

   "Indeed, it's like a cannon fodder being called to make up the numbers."

  Xu Shun frowned, wondering.

   "Doesn't that just mean they're all a mob?"

   Qian Lai shook his head.

   "The rabble will not take the initiative to fire at us. They are not professional predators, just a group of temporary workers. It is obvious that someone has organized them."

   It may be difficult to understand for those who have not been to Boulder City, but for those who live there, this kind of thing can be said to be commonplace.

   Not only militias and mercenary regiments recruit in the slums, but so do looters. And since gangs there are prevalent in the business of selling loot to looters, it's easy for looters to get a bunch of looting temps from there, just by paying for a gun up front.

   Even as long as you give enough, it is okay not to issue weapons. Many scavengers will make iron pipe weapons themselves. This, like building a shack, is almost a necessary survival skill for them.

  According to Qian Lai's own experience, the attack was more of a trial.

   The other party was not sure enough, so he decided to mobilize some cannon fodder to try their skills. It's hard to say how the other party evaluates their strength, and whether they will dispel the idea of ​​taking action against them.

   He and the boss suggested that it would be better to rest for a few days before setting off.

   But the boss was in a hurry to replace the spirit leaves with chips. Not only did the shipment double this time, but he also gave him a purchase list worth 100,000 chips.

  The pot camel machine can no longer satisfy the appetite of the owner of the northern suburbs. The adult is obsessed with buying second-hand machines from Jushicheng, and he wants to get some back no matter what it is.

   "Just be more careful."

   glanced at the cemetery-like city in front of him, Qian Lai muttered softly.

   Hope everything will be ok...

The city with concrete ruins is like a labyrinth. There is more than one road from the northern suburbs to the Boulder City. An experienced trade association usually remembers more than ten roads, and analyzes this time according to all factors such as weather, temperature, intuition, etc. Which way to go.

   For hunters in the labyrinth, it is not easy to catch the rabbit who got into the ruins.

   But there are more ways than difficulties.

  Most predators will set up an observation point at a high place, monitor one or two blocks that can be seen, and then predict which one they choose based on the direction of the prey's movement.

   Located on a high-rise building within the Fifth Ring Road, a mercenary in a gray coat was lying on the side of the broken wall, looking at the street not far away with the binoculars in his hand.

  His name is Sha Tooth, one of Wuqiu's capable generals, mainly serving as a sniper and reconnaissance in the team.

   When he saw the team appearing in the camera, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, he immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said excitedly.

   "Boss, they're off!"

   After a short electric sound, Wu Qiu's unbelievable voice came from the walkie-talkie.

"you sure?"

   Those talents just crossed the edge of the Fifth Ring Road in the morning, and it was not even a day, and they immediately set foot on the road to the Boulder City.

   Aren't these people going to take a day off?

  Sha Tooth said immediately.

"I'm sure...that direction, it can only come from the wetland park! A total of nine people, in addition to the two-headed cow carrying the goods, there is also a white bear, which should be their pet. They are heading to 1101 Street No., presumably intended to pass through the commercial complex there."

   "This group is different from what we met before, those four Awakeneds are not in the team!"

   Hearing this, Wu Qiu's eyes flashed with excitement.

   The commercial complex on 1101st Street, the half-collapsed shopping mall, is a good place for looting, especially since the four Awakeneds are not in the team, which is even more great news for him.

  The only pity is that the time is too rushed, they didn't expect these people to go from there, and they didn't have time to ambush in advance.

   But no problem!

   The number of people on my side is twice as many as those people!

   Wu Qiu made a decisive decision.

   "You go around to their west side and support us on the roof! Listen to my gunshots!"

"receive!"

  Shatooth's face was filled with excitement.

   put down the walkie-talkie in his hand, he was about to put away the binoculars and pick up the sniper rifle on the ground. However, at this moment, he suddenly saw the armor riding on the bear, and looked straight towards him.

The action of    scared him so much that his whole body was jolted, and the telescope almost fell from his hand, and he quickly hid behind the cover.

   Coincidence?

   Not like…

   That action was too obvious.

   Realizing something, Sha Tooth's face changed slightly.

   The one riding on the bear's back is 80% Awakened!

   "Why do I feel like something is looking at me?" Looking at the tall building behind him, the crow dressed in a tin can frowned.

"where?"

  Tail quickly raised the telescope hanging around his neck and looked in the direction of Yaya's line of sight, but he saw nothing but a pile of ruins.

   There are too many buildings there.

   There may be eyes hidden in every window.

   As the caravan NPC said, if it is a person, it is fine, if it is a team, there is no secret at all to enter here.

   "The 12th-level perception system is estimated to have 18~19 points of perception," Si Si, who was holding a submachine gun, moved the brim of his helmet and muttered, "I can't ignore it."

   "Can't determine the location?" Fujiteng looked at Yaya and asked.

   Ya Ya said helplessly.

   "I just have a higher perception, and I'm not using a plug-in."

  It's a pity it's too far.

   If you get closer, her talent can come in handy.

   The group drove the two-headed ox forward.

There are more and more ruins and buildings around   , the wreckage of cars and billboards is everywhere, and there are half buildings across the street.

   There are bunkers that can be hidden everywhere, and everyone's nerves are gradually tightening.

The ruins of the commercial complex were less than 200 meters away. Looking at the half-collapsed ruins in the distance, Qian Lai was walking in the center of the caravan and motioned for everyone to stop. sentence.

   Xu Shun nodded with a serious expression and walked in front of the players.

   "After passing the ruins in front of you, go 1.2 kilometers west to the campsite. For safety's sake, we need to send someone to scout ahead. Uh, why don't I go—"

   "Leave the scouting to the tail! The tail is agile!" The tail volunteered to raise his hand, and the scythe assault rifle in his hand had already opened the safety.

   Sesame paste next to him also stepped forward, clenched the PU-9 in his hand, and said nervously.

   "I, I am also an agile student, I can go with you!"

   But at this moment, Yaya, who was riding on the bear's back, suddenly said.

   "Do you have to go through here?"

   Xu Shun, who was staring at the subtitles, was slightly taken aback, and his expression immediately became serious.

"what have you found?"

  Yaya nodded silently, stared intently at the ruins two hundred meters ahead, and whispered.

   "The distance is a little fuzzy...but it shouldn't be wrong."

   "Someone's there—"

Before the    voice could fall, a gunshot suddenly sounded between the tall buildings in the distance.

   Hearing the sound of the gunshot, everyone was startled, and immediately retreated to the bunker to hide. However, they soon found that no one was injured at all, and even the bullet did not land on their side.

   "Another group?!"

   "The gunshots came from the high-rise building due west of us!"

   "There's another group here?"

"Probably!"

   "It doesn't matter which group of people it is, bring the cow in!" Qian Lai hurriedly pushed Kaia and urged, "Come on!"

   That is worth hundreds of thousands of chips!

  If he loses it, the boss will definitely kill him!

"Oh shit!"

  Kia gritted his teeth.

  Although his reason told him better not to do this, he still bit the bullet and ran out short.

   "Hey, don't go, I'm not sure if the gunshots were aimed at us."

  Siss shouted at him, but the NPC obviously didn't understand what she was saying.

   Holding his rifle at the tail of the alley exit, he suddenly let out a sentimental sigh.

   "Maybe this is life."

  Poor laborer.

   This game is always a real batch in weird places.

   "Don't worry about what it is, what should we do now?" Roshan Damomo said nervously, "Is there someone in the ruins ahead?"

  Yuya, who was riding on her back, nodded, and a heavy voice floated out of the armor.

   "And there are still a lot of people! Wait, they came out of the ruins, and they seem to be coming towards us!"

   Although it was blurry, she could see the figures shaking!

  Tujiteng raised his head nervously.

   "A predator?"

   "Well, I don't think it matters in this case," Sisi pushed the brim of the helmet and analyzed, "Even if they can prove their goodwill, we have to let them lay down their weapons first."

   "Don't be afraid, there is a tail!" The tail excitedly loaded the rifle in his hand and put it next to the bunker, "S, it's coming!"

  Siss took out half of her energy and loaded her submachine gun.

   "Oh! We're going! By the way, Awei, don't rush too fast for a while, we'll detour from the side... They probably want to surround us, we have to fight before that."

   "Oak!"

   You can't let the cute new people behind you look down on it!

   Just when Tail and Sisi were ready to take on the enemy, Kaia was rushing the last cow to the side alley.

   In the commercial complex directly across the street, a machine gun was suddenly mounted on the window.

   There was no time to react at all, the flames above the bipod shot out, and dense bullets were shot out, rampaging on the ruins.

   The two-headed cow was killed on the spot.

   Caught off guard, the guard of the caravan driving the cattle was also shot in the thigh.

   "Fuck!"

  Kia, who was shot in the leg, was sweating coldly from the pain, and immediately fell to the ground, sticking firmly to the back of the bulging concrete waste on the street.

The    bullet landed right in front of his cover, splashing a meter of dust. The spewed stones landed on his face, making him tremble with fright, but he didn't dare to move at all.

   "Damn, I'm so held back!"

   "Help me!"

   "Stay on your stomach and don't move!"

   Another caravan guard, Wang Zhong, took the opportunity to pull out a smoke bomb and threw it at it.

  Dense fog soon filled the streets.

   However, the sound of gunshots did not stop because of this, and three shots were still fired in the direction of Kaia, as if they were going to nail him there.

   Dare to move casually, Kaia pressed her ear to the ground, her face suddenly changed and shouted.

   "They're approaching us!"

   "Orientation?"

   "Where else could it be! Just the ruins in front! At least 10, no, maybe 20!"

   When he shouted, the 20 mercenaries had already divided into two teams and pressed towards the alley 200 meters away.

   Wu Qiu, who personally led the team, had a trace of anger on his face, the rifle in his hand was loaded, and he snorted.

   "Damn, this stupid thing! I told him to wait for my gunshots! Why did you do it without authorization!"

  It took a lot of effort for him to get ahead of the group and arrive at the ruins of the commercial complex.

   A problem that could be solved simply by putting the gun to the forehead has now become a head-to-head contest.

very good.

   There is at least one awakened person on the opposite side, and a bear with a steel plate hanging on its chest?

   Although he doesn't consider those people his opponents, he hates adding extra variables to the plan.

   But at this moment, there was another gunshot in the distance.

The sound of    breaking through the air came from overhead, and the machine gun that shot down the street instantly went out.

   Wu Qiu was shocked, he immediately understood what was happening, and then shouted loudly.

   "Sniper!"

   "Spread the cover and be careful of the building due west!"

"two."

   Twenty floors of the ruins of a high-rise building.

   Lying beside the floor-to-ceiling window without glass, Ye Shi took a deep breath and pulled the bolt with his bandaged right hand, pulling the hot cartridge out of the barrel.

  This sniper rifle was captured by the mercenaries of Boulder City, and it has been used for some time.

  The position of the original sight has been replaced by a thermal imager.

   This good thing was photographed from the official website for 2400 silver coins. It supports 6x zoom. All heat sources exposed outside the bunker have nothing to hide in front of this thing.

   Combined with his perception ability, it is simply an artifact.

   Without hesitation, seeing that the mercenaries had discovered him, Ye Shi immediately moved his gun and fired a shot at the looters scattered in the ruins.

   This time the hit was on the chest.

   The man who fell to the ground did not die immediately, but cried out to his teammates for help.

   Ye Shi quickly pulled the bolt, not in a hurry to fix the gun, but stared at the bunker beside him, ready to wait for the rabbit.

   But he waited until the man died, and no one came out to help him.

   "Three..."

  Ye Shi glanced at the VM that was left beside him. The two green dots had dispersed from the alley, and the remaining four green dots were guarding around the caravan and staying with the NPCs.

   "It should be the tails and the others."

   Those two are old players, and they definitely know what to do in this situation.

   "It's so annoying... I can't hit it here at all."

   Ye Shi muttered, picked up the sniper rifle and hung it on his back, took out the submachine gun and held it in his hand, crossed the corridor full of gnawing corpses, moved to the safe passage, and quickly went downstairs.

   A Hell Breath is parked downstairs.

   Although the road conditions in the city are difficult for vehicles to pass through, a motorcycle with two wheels is better than a car with four wheels.

   The sound of a tractor sounded.

  Yoju quickly started the engine, and followed the pre-planned route and circled to the south side of the battlefield at the fastest speed.

   There is an office building with hundreds of floors, which is a landmark that he and his teammates have explored before. Ye Shi even remembered that he found a lot of office equipment and printing paper there.

   The gnaws below the 20th floor have basically been eliminated, and even if new alien species spread in the past two months, it will not cause a lot of trouble.

  The sound of gunfire in the distance continued one after another.

   Ye Shi faintly heard the sound of Pu-9 shooting, and within 50 meters of the fighting distance, the battle situation has obviously entered a white-hot!

   Anxious, he turned off the engine of the motorcycle and threw it on the side of the road, climbed to the second floor along the half-collapsed concrete wall in three steps, rushed into the safety passage, and moved to the office area on the 20th floor.

   smashed open the floor-to-ceiling windows with the **** of his gun, Ye Shi lay on the ground, set up his sniper rifle again, and aimed at the battlefield half a street away.

   Adjusting the rate of his breathing, he was about to pull the trigger when an alarm suddenly appeared in his heart, he picked up the sniper rifle he had just set up and left the window.

   Almost at the same time, a bobbin came in from the window and slammed straight on the ceiling not far from him, causing a burst of fire.

  The heat wave of the explosion spread, and large pieces of concrete fell from the ceiling. Fortunately, Ye Shi evaded in time, but he was not injured.

   "MMP!"

   How did these gangsters find out about themselves? !

   looked at the group of looters downstairs, and separated out five people and surrounded him.

   Ye Shi, who hurriedly re-arranged his sniper rifle, secretly thought that it would be worse.

   The distance is less than 500 meters, and when I go downstairs at this time, I must have just collided with them!

  Ye Shi hurriedly pulled the trigger, but there were too many bunkers on the street, and the looters who had already discovered his location didn't show him too many flaws, so he easily avoided the shot.

  Ye Shi hurriedly pulled the gun bolt, muttering in his mouth.

   "Mom, I just bought the equipment that hasn't been warmed up yet, isn't it?"

   Don't, Brother Guang.

   Five-on-one is a little bit out of martial arts.

   Show mercy!

   I don't know if the planner Aguang heard his prayers, and just as Ye Shi hurriedly continued to shoot, a sudden change occurred.

  A figure covered in steel appeared in the center of the battlefield at some point.

   The firepower of both sides of the war was obviously stunned. Whether it was the caravan guards or the predators, this guy confused the situation a little.

   Tail eyes glowing behind cover.

   "S! That armor is amazing!"

   is much more powerful than Yaya!

  Siss' face was solemn.

   "...Awei don't take it lightly, he may not be here to help us."

   Turning a blind eye to the surrounding atmosphere, the man standing in the center of the battlefield glanced left and right, and was silent for a while.

From under the    armor, a ghostly voice suddenly wafted out.

   "How to get to the northern suburbs."

   (Thanks to the leader of "Qingningzi" for the reward!)
