Wrench yelled hurriedly, "Yes, sir!"

Chu Guang nodded, patted the snow off his shoulders, and continued looking at his firm eyes. "Tomorrow, I will take you on a long trip. This will be your first mission. You are the captain of the guards, remember to watch and learn more."

"Also, go to the warehouse later and find the warehouse manager to get 14 VMs. Distribute them to your other brothers. You should know how to use it, so I don’t need to explain it.”

Including the VM currently on Wrench’s arm, there were a total of 15 VMs that were specially designed for guards by Chu Guang with Little Seven’s help. Guards would be able to directly identify the player’s ID with the help of the map, and report violations directly to Chu Guang.

If the violation was confirmed, Chu Guang would punish players according to the rules.

Although the test players on the server were relatively friendly at present, various problems could always arise when there were more people in the future.

Guns could only deter low-level newcomers and obedient refugees, while higher-level players would have to be controlled with his high authority.

Wrench said in high spirit, "Yes!"

...

On the fourth day of the Alpha 0.7 release.

Early in the morning, Wrench took the 15 guards of the outpost and lined up neatly at the north gate.

Practicing for several days in a row was quite useful.

Regardless what fighting strength they had, at least their postures and formation looked more serious, no longer looking disorganized and lazy.

With their daily meals being fish, meat, shofar potatoes, and green wheat, the complexion on their faces was much better than when they just came out of the marauder’s dungeon.

Lu Yang, who came from the Pioneer to escort the workers to the operation camp to change shifts, glanced at the guards who were carrying rifles and stood in a neat line with a surprised expression.

Those people were poorly equipped. They carried cumbersome rifles and packed luggage on their backs, and they also wore coats made of mutant reindeer fur which barely reached the standard of having a uniformed outfit.

The only piece of high-tech equipment on their body was probably the vital monitor worn on their arm, which was the VM commonly seen in shelters.

What was surprising, however, was their discipline.

However, Lu Yang always felt that they were less like shelter residents and more like refugees in the wasteland. Most of the blue coats in the shelter looked clean, and their appearance was more similar to that of the middle-level and above employees of Enterprise, looking like the type of people that couldn’t endure hardship.

However, those people were different. Just by looking at their faces, it looked like they had suffered a lot in the past.

While Lu Yang was thinking about random thoughts, the two marines behind him were chatting in the communication channel.

"What did you eat this morning?"

"Bought two buns from the blue coats."

"Damn. What time did you come down?"

"5:00 in the morning."

“Holy shit, that early?”

Lu Yang cleared his throat in the communication channel and then scolded, "Quiet."

The two marines immediately shut their mouths and turned off their communication devices.

At this time, Wrench met Lu Yang’s eyes, then walked over with the rifle on his back, and gave a neat military salute. "The administrator asked me to wait for you here. He will bring people up at 8:00 in the morning. Before that, he needs a little time to mobilize his residents."

Lu Yang looked at him and nodded. "I see. In that case, we will wait."

He and Chu Guang agreed to set off at 8:00 in the morning.

It was just that the journey went relatively smoothly, and he and his subordinates arrived at their destination half an hour earlier than expected.

"Please allow me to take you to the reception room to rest for a while."

Lu Yang shook his head and declined. "No need, I’ll just wait here."

Wearing an exoframe, it was the same wherever he waited.

Anyway, no matter how big the snow was outside, it wouldn’t be able to affect him, and he wouldn’t feel the slightest bit of chill.

Wrench nodded and did not insist any longer. He turned around to return to the formation, then stood with the brothers in the guard team.

And at this moment, level B2 of the shelter was very lively.

The newbie welcoming assembly, which happened once on every version update, was reaching its climax

The players dressed in blue coats came out of their rooms and came to the square in front of the elevator on level B2 according to the instructions of the broadcast with their eyes wide open.

The shocked emotions resonated in the crowd, and almost everyone couldn’t believe their eyes. Everything in front of them seemed so real.

But the truth was right in front of their eyes!

It was a completely real world!

And they were all standing here in the form of living people, breathing the air here, listening to the roaring voices in their ears, and feeling the blood surging in their chests.

Those people didn’t lie!

Wasteland Online…

Is freaking awesome!

"HOLY FREAKING SHIT!"

"Is this Shelter 404?!"

"Damn it! This wall is so hard! I cannot clip through walls at all! And this texture is too damn real!"

"Hahahahaha, awesome. This game is awesome! I didn’t expect to actually play a fully immersive virtual reality game in my lifetime! Brothers, just wait, I’m going to poop while standing upside down when I’m offline!"

"Brother, remember to live stream it!"

"Need help? I’ll send you a bottle of fish oil!"

"Damn, are you guys serious?"

It was almost the same as the first few waves of newcomers who entered the game.

The newcomers standing on the square in front of the elevator on level B2 danced with excitement, exploring left and right. Some even threw themselves onto the wall or jumped on the spot, as if they were holding some kind of grand ceremony.

Dozens of old players who didn’t get a chance to participate in the expansion event stood on the side and commented, reminiscing their lost youth and past.

Chu Guang was also watching these players, ready to deal with emergencies. To his satisfaction, none of the players who came in this time took off their pants.

It seemed that the new batch of newbies were more reserved.

Of course, it was also possible that after the advice of the old players in the forum, these new people still had a good understanding of the basic settings of the game, and they had reached the level of Cloud Gamers before entering the game.[1]

For example, Wasteland Online only allowed one account per person, and this account would accompany them from the closed alpha to the public beta. It could not be deleted. If the player decided to quit the game, the game company would give the account to other players.

At this time, Chu Guang happened to see that a player in the crowd suddenly let out a soft "Urgh" before falling to the ground.

Slightly stunned, Chu Guang said in a low voice, "Little Seven."

Little Seven, who was following Chu Guang, raised its camera. "Hmm… What’s the matter? Master."

Chu Guang was lost in thought while his eyes stayed on the system interface that only he could see. "Can getting too excited also lead to disconnection?"

Little Seven buzzed, "Uh, generally not, but it’s not absolute. For example, if the clone goes into physiological shock due to being too excited, the connection between the conscious body and physical body would naturally be interrupted… But this probability is too small, can someone really go into a shock because of excitement?"

"..."

So it is physiological shock....

Chu Guang glanced at the player list, wanting to see which unlucky player it was. But as soon as he saw the name, he was slightly stunned.

Quit Smoking?

Okay… What the hell…

It was quite understandable. The 80 points he scored in the quiz were considered quite satisfactory, and it was stuck on the edge of the second grade. However, Chu Guang still didn’t expect that it would take him that long to get the qualification.

But then again, what

will happen if he continues

to get excited after getting disconnected?

Could he even be shocked in reality...

Chu Guang suddenly became a little worried about him.

Not far away, Tail clasped her arms, shook her head in disappointment, and said like an old veteran, "Tsk, this batch’s newcomers are really terrible. They are all humans!"

Sisi rolled her eyes. "Humans can’t satisfy you anymore."

Tail snapped with dissatisfaction, "I mean, can’t we have more fantasy creatures? Like skeletons, slimes, or tentacles! By the way, if we can customize our character, I want to be a tentacle monster!"

Sisi sighed. "As expected of Tail."

She felt that she saw a side of Tail that she wouldn’t normally see.

1. Cloud Gamers are people who are not actually playing the game, but often discuss the game with the actual game players ?
