Chapter 227.1: GIVING MONEY MAKES ME HAPPY

North of Longevity Town, an abandoned town.

There was light snow in the whistling north wind, and the branches on the roadside swayed gently.

The truck with quadruple anti-aircraft cannons on the back was hidden on the edge of the woods, and the cannons were lined up, aiming at a snowfield to the north.

Beside the truck, Gray Wolf was holding the binoculars and looking in the north direction, his face couldn't help but look a little anxious, and his mouth kept murmuring softly.

"It's impossible..." It stands to reason that after he fired the flare, a 100-person group would set off from Remote Creek Town and immediately head to Longevity Town to help him consolidate the fortress' defense, and subsequent troops and supplies would also be transferred to the Longevity Town one after another, incorporating the entire northern suburbs into the territory of the Bonechewer Clan.

It was already noon, but no one came!

Not to mention the 100 person group, he didn't even see a shadow of a person from the north.

There was a flash of anger in Gray Wolf's eyes, and he felt that he had been deceived.

It seemed like Lion Fang, who handed the flare gun to him, had no intention of sending reinforcements at all. They even used himself and his subordinates as cannon fodder from the moment he set off.

But why?

Gray Wolf wondered why Lion Fang did this.

If that man had some information that made him think that it was impossible for him to capture this place, then why should he agree to let him take the risk and head over?

Even if he was an outsider, his men were still part of his fighting force. Moreover, he didn’t think that his men were weak. So no matter how much he racked his brains, he still couldn't figure out why Lion Fang would give up on him.

Liu Ding, who was standing next to him, had no surprise on his face.

Before the departure, the administrator had explained to him that probably nothing would happen, and the marauders of Remote Creek Town might not even plan to bring reinforcements because of some other factors.

With an assault rifle hanging on his chest, Liu Ding, who was standing beside him, glanced at the time of the VM on his arm and said with a blank expression, "It seems that your reinforcement will not come."

Gray Wolf gulped softly. "Maybe they are stuck in the heavy snow..."

Liu Ding ignored him, knocked on the door of the truck with his fist, and signaled the player sitting in the driver's seat. "The mission is over. Let’s go back."

Athlete Foot sitting on the truck yawned, started the engine of the light truck, and shouted to the people on the back of the truck. "Hey, wake up, it’s over now, so stop dozing off."

Bathroom Goer, who was about to fall asleep, shook his head violently to wake himself up and climbed back into the truck, looking at the half box of ammunition and muttering. "Damn it. I almost fell asleep and got disconnected from the game..."

This was the first time that he actually felt sleepy when playing a game.

The developers of Wasteland Online would always put extra effort in weird places.

Is it reasonable to restrict the players from playing the game 24/7?

Is it reasonable for the characters in the game to feel sleepy?

Probably no other game company in this world would develop an anti-addiction system like that!

...

Chu Guang barely slept the night before, and there was tons of work for him to deal with in the morning.

There was no new movement in the north for the time being, so the next attack would probably come from the northeast direction, It should come from the brigade led by Black Snake.

In order to prepare for a sneak attack, Chu Guang arranged two patrol routes near the Central Continent Aerospace Ecological Experimental Base, using the former sites of the three survivor settlements of Winter Willow Camp, Highway Town, and Battery Factory as patrol nodes to search for possible threats in the northeast of Clearspring City.

The patrol mission would be jointly undertaken by the guards and Combat Profession players, not only to execute the patrol mission itself, but also to get familiar with the terrain in the area to prepare for the upcoming battle.

It was worth mentioning that Dillat Rubber was really useful. It could not only be used to seal a device but could also be made into continuous tracks easily, increasing the speed of light trucks in the snow.

However, the poor quality of the suspension was a problem, which may cause people sitting in the truck to feel uncomfortable or even lose the ability to fight. This could be clearly seen from the fact that the ride was so bumpy that it made a player of intelligence type vomit the night before.

After returning to the shelter, it was already noon. Chu Guang fell asleep without eating, and when he opened his eyes, he realized that it was already afternoon. "Sigh, I messed up my rest schedule again."

Shaking his drowsy head, Chu Guang sat up from the bed and glanced down at his sweat-soaked clothes. Then he looked at the sheets and the floor. "... If anyone saw this, it would definitely cause misunderstanding."

Just when Chu Guang muttered to himself, an energetic voice floated over from the wall on the side. "Hmm, hmm... It's okay master, Little Seven won't tell anyone."

Chu Guang didn’t know where Little Seven downloaded the voice pack from, but it seemed like Little Seven was taking up the style of a cool older sister.

"Okay, you can shut up now."

The voice stopped, but a message popped out of the VM on the bedside table.

QAQ

"..."

Closing the dialog box that popped up on the VM, Chu Guang skillfully took off his clothes and threw them into the basket by the door.

Picking up the towel hanging on the side of the basket, and simply wiping off the metabolites on his body, Chu Guang changed into clean clothes and went to the bathroom on level B3

After a simple wash, he went to the medical laboratory on the same floor.

Seeing Chu Guang appearing at the door, Hyrja raised her eyebrows slightly with a hint of surprise in her expression.

"You've

leveled up

again?"

Level up was the phrase she learned from Chu Guang.

Like the word "player," they were all words that were hard to understand just by listening to the pronunciation.

"That's right." Chu Guang said simply and then lay on the scanning bed. "Let's get started."

"Wait a minute. Let me put the sample away first." Stopping what she was doing, Hyrja skillfully removed the Petri dish from the microscope, carefully placed it back in the sample bank for cryopreservation, and walked over briskly in high spirits.

Compared to the Deathclaw's tissue sections, the genetic samples preserved in this shelter were significantly more interesting.

For her, the shelter was like a treasure house with infinite potential.

𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

It’s really wonderful to wake up after 20 years!

Walking to the terminal at the bedside, Hyrja stretched out her index finger and tapped the touchscreen a few times, skillfully operating the device and starting to work.

The scanning unit started.

After waiting for a while, the updated property panel quickly appeared in front of Chu Guang.

This time, his intelligence increased.

Chu Guang closed his eyes and felt it for a while, but maybe because he was smart enough, he didn't have a very intuitive feeling.

Hyrja, who was standing next to the terminal, had surprise written all over her face. Nerve cells were non-regenerating cells. It stood to reason that after the human brain matured, it would not add new neurons. At least not under natural conditions.

However, the changes in Chu Guang had subverted her cognition.

Without the help of drugs or other auxiliary equipment, the fully developed body actually grew twice in a row! And this was not exercise-based growth. Rather, the way genes were expressed had fundamentally changed.

In fact, not only Chu Guang alone, but almost all the residents in this shelter had many similar situations in the expression of DNA which puzzled her.

"Unbelievable... The speed of your growth is simply amazing! I remember I just gave you a medical examination a little over a week ago, right? Last time it was the immune system and metabolic function and bones... But this time it's neurons? This is really incredible!"

Chu Guang didn't feel that he had grown much. In fact, he felt that he had neglected his exercise a little recently.

"Amazing?"

Hyrja nodded solemnly. "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't use the word incredible."

Chu Guang gave her a strange look: "Why do I think you use it very often."

Hyrja was dazed. "Do I?"

Without wasting time on irrelevant issues, Chu Guang moved the topic back to the subject of the genetic sequence. "So is growing faster a good thing or a bad thing?"

Hyrja said after thinking for a while. "It's hard to say. From different standpoints, the definition of good and bad is different."

Chu Guang frowned. "What do you mean?"

Hyrja explained, "In short, the growth of an individual helps to improve the survival probability of an individual in the environment, but relatively, overly complex gene expression is not conducive to inheritance... Can you understand what I said?"

Actually, that wasn’t a big problem at all.

It was said that in the distant Prosperity Era, a considerable number of people had abandoned the old social relations and reproduced the next generation entirely by means of technology.

Especially with the boom in android companions and virtual reality technology, which had directly accelerated the process of this social change.

After all, who would refuse an andriod whose character would never fall apart?

Especially when this andriod was almost no different from a real person?

"In a way, but I'm not sure if what I understand is consistent with what you want to express."

In short, it would be difficult for him to have children.

Chu Guang, who sat beside the scanning bed, fell into deep thought.

Hmm, so is this a good thing or a good thing?

...
