This game is too real

It was late at night.

Chu Guang slept very uneasily, waking up several times, and fell asleep again after touching the gun hidden in the sleeping bag.

The shelter was too comfortable, and there was no need to worry about any danger, so he was a little unable to adapt to the unstable environment when he suddenly returned.

"I've been lazy."

Chu Guang sighed, and his hand unconsciously touched the gun hidden in the quilt. The thick and long barrel was full of security.

I don't know what happened to the players.

Although I told Xiao Qi what to do when I'm not around, I still can't let go of my worries.

I woke up at five in the morning, but Chu Guang couldn't fall asleep, so he just kept his eyes open and waited quietly.

He didn't get out of his sleeping bag until it was light outside the window, put on his clothes, and carried the steel pipe and the gun he had just bought.

It would take a long time for him to come back this time.

The mayor's collection forced him to move forward the plan of moving, and all preparations had to be completed before the end of the month.

If he could not reserve enough supplies for a hundred people, he would have to wait until February or March next year to conduct the next round of testing.

The whole winter would be wasted.

Pushing the door open.

Chu Guang, who had packed his equipment and was ready to leave, happened to meet the men of the Wang family.

Wang Defu, who was making trouble at his door yesterday, glanced at him without saying a word, but his eyes were somewhat provocative.

Perhaps because his father and eldest and second brothers were beside him, and because he was carrying a hunting tool, he was obviously much braver than yesterday, and seemed to be showing off.

Chu Guang certainly would not argue with a little brat.

The sixteen-year-old boy was already a man who could stand on his own in Beth Street, but in his eyes, he was just a child who had not even grown all his hair.

"Hey, don't die."

Chu Guang ignored him and didn't even look at him.

The child of the Wang family was angry, gritted his teeth, and his face turned red. He felt humiliated by the disregard of this outsider.

However, just when he was about to do something irrational to provoke, the elder brother next to him suddenly put his hand on his shoulder.

Although he was still a little indignant, Wang Defu quickly calmed down.

It can be seen that this child listens to his brother very much.

Chu Guang glanced at the eldest son of the Wang family, and the strong man was also looking at him.

From that man, Chu Guang sensed a hint of danger, but it was not obvious.

Interestingly, when observing him, the man's face also showed a hint of surprise, although it was hidden very carefully.

Hunter's intuition-

This guy is not easy to deal with!

After a brief eye contact, both sides quickly looked away.

There is no need to cause unnecessary trouble.

The people of the Wang family walked away.

Chu Guang was also ready to leave.

At this time, a crisp voice came from behind.

"Be careful on the road."

Chu Guang stopped and looked back, and saw Xiaoyu hiding behind the door and peeking at him.

Chu Guang smiled and said lightly.

"Well, thank you."

"No need."

In the blink of an eye, the little girl slipped back into the house and disappeared.

...

At six o'clock in the morning, it was almost dawn.

The gate of Bet Street slowly opened, and the survivors carrying backpacks, bows and arrows, short knives, crossbows and other tools, stepped on the cracked concrete road and the weeds growing out of the cracks, and headed towards the devastated ruins in groups of three or five.

However, today, two hundred years later, it is not so easy to search for good things in the wasteland. Occasionally picking up the shells dropped by mercenaries or predators can be regarded as treasures.

Chu Guang did not leave the settlement immediately, but spent some time at the door. After everyone walked away, he went to Old Charlie's recycling station.

"I need 7 kilograms of green wheat, which is the blackjack chips. And tobacco leaves for pickling meat... How much can 4 chips be exchanged for?" Chu Guang had never bought anything before, so he asked.

"1 point for 1 tael."

"Then give me 4 taels!"

Food is the key to development.

Only by preparing more food can we recruit more players to work for us.

The survivors can't drink porridge made from green wheat every day. Even if they can bear it, I can't bear it.

Now that I have a gun, hunting will be much easier than before.

Chu Guang plans to buy some tobacco leaves and make pickled meat that can't be eaten as a reserve for the winter.

Old Charlie raised his eyelids.

"I remember you bought five kilograms of green wheat a few days ago."

"Any questions?" Chu Guang answered casually.

Old Charlie grinned.

"Nothing, it's good to save more money."

Chu Guang, who was planning for the future, suddenly became alert.

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is attentive.

He suddenly realized a problem.

I haven't brought back any useful garbage or other gains for a while, but I bought a lot of supplies twice in a row.

The mayor may not pay attention to me, a small person, but other people will inevitably wonder where I got so much money from.

But Old Charlie didn't say anything, maybe he didn't care at all. He helped him weigh the food and sent him out with a smile.

"I was careless..."

After leaving the gate of Beth Street and turning a corner, Chu Guang breathed a sigh of relief, stopped and observed for a while, and then continued forward.

More than 10 chips are already a considerable "huge sum" for scavengers, because they usually can't save money.

However, I took out more than 20 chips twice in a row to buy supplies that I couldn't consume in a short time.

Old Charlie was kind to me. After all, they all came from the shelter, but he was the mayor's servant after all.

Thinking of this, Chu Guang frowned.

Unfortunately, the merchant named Lister only accepts grain and sells industrial products from Boulder City.

Perhaps, I should try my luck at Brown Farm.

…

Seven kilograms of green wheat and ten liters of drinking water, plus bullets and equipment, weigh more than twenty kilograms, weighing heavily on my shoulders.

In addition to moving things, Chu Guang also had to be careful to conserve his energy and guard against the dangers lurking in the shadows.

Even though his muscles were full of extraordinary strength, he could only walk a certain distance and stop for a while to observe the road conditions before moving on.

The road outside the settlement was not easy to walk, and sometimes you had to bypass the collapsed road and pass through the collapsed high-rise buildings.

Chu Guang suddenly envied the protagonists in "The Last of Us" and "Dying Lights" who could parkour in the ruins with a lot of things on their backs, while he could only walk one step at a time.

Maybe…

Should I buy a cow next time?

I just don't know if Lister will sell it.

Fortunately, none of the aliens he encountered along the way discovered him.

Passing through the ruins.

After walking along the road for a while, Chu Guang finally arrived at the sanatorium in the wetland park before 8:30 in the morning.

However, what surprised Chu Guang was that when he arrived, he found that the four closed beta players had all come online.

Not only that.

Outside the wall of the sanatorium, there were four half-person-high earthen stoves and a hemispherical earthen kiln about one person high.

This...

What is it?

He didn't remember that he had given the task of building a stove.

"Mr. Administrator! You are finally back." Looking at the surprised administrator, Fang Chang smiled and walked up to him and said.

"I was delayed outside all night," Chu Guang stared at the furnaces intently, forgetting to put down the things on his back, "... How is the situation here? Have you encountered aliens or other survivors?"

"Everything is normal! There are no unexpected situations!"

Fang Chang reported their work to Chu Guang with a red face.

The four half-person-high furnaces are used to burn charcoal, and the furnace with blast holes next to them is used to calcine the coarse materials of cement at high temperature.

"We burn the bark into ash, then add it to water and stir it, filter out the potassium alkali water on the top, squeeze out the remaining mud, and get calcium hydroxide and calcium carbonate for making cement."

"Then, we add these raw materials to the blast furnace and calcine them into orange-red, then mix them with the sand picked up from the river, add water and mix well, and we get ash cement!"

WTF?

To be honest, Chu Guang was shocked by the hands-on ability of these players.

It's not like he hadn't tried to make cement by mixing wood ash with mud before, and he used the method taught by Bihu, but the things he made broke into pieces when he squeezed them, and they were completely useless.

Now it seems that his method was wrong.

Is the key the blast furnace and secondary calcination?

And the purity of the wood ash…

Fang Chang continued talking.

"…We plan to use cement to repair the walls of the sanatorium! By the way, we also collected the filtered potassium alkali water in a container. This stuff can be used to tan leather, which is very useful!"

"You… did a great job."

After thinking for a long time, Chu Guang couldn't think of what to reward these players, and he could only think of such a word of praise.

However, Fang Chang, who heard this, was excited.

It's up!

Favorability!

It must have increased!

Without missing this opportunity, Fang Chang read out the lines he had thought about all night with a serious face.

"For the continuation of civilization!"

"It is our honor to share your worries!"

"..."

Chu Guang suddenly didn't know how to face him.

Compared with himself, these players are too noble.

"Well said... For the continuation of civilization, and for the future of all of us."

After coughing, Chu Guang maintained a majestic expression and looked at the excited players and continued, "I will go downstairs to put the supplies. Your plan is very good... Go ahead and do it boldly!"

Fang Chang stood up straight and said energetically.

"Yes, sir, the manager!"

"You should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest, don't be too tired." Chu Guang instructed.

It's not because of a guilty conscience, but because he is worried that these players are overdoing it and overdrawing their enthusiasm too early.

However, this player did not seem to appreciate his good intentions and expressed his loyalty with his head held high.

"It is our mission to serve you, and this is also my declaration under the banner of the Human Alliance!"

Chu Guang almost couldn't hold back his breath when he heard this.

The declaration is okay...

Have you seen what the Human Alliance banner looks like?

"...Okay, very energetic, go ahead."

Watching the players trotting away, Chu Guang sighed silently in his heart.

In the end, his worries were unnecessary.
