Yellowstone Farm.
Buzz buzz buzz
Five large harvesters are harvesting beans on the farm. Each soybean pod is cut by gears and enters the machine.
These plants covered with pods are exceptionally tall and bear numerous fruits. They are the few beneficial mutant plant species in the wasteland.
Although this type of bean is also yellow, it is no longer the same as traditional soybeans.
It is more nutritious, provides a stronger sense of fullness, has a longer storage time, and can be ripened 2 to 3 times a year.
This is why beans have become the basic food for all survivors in the city.
The Yellowstone Farm is the largest bean-producing farm around Colossus City.
It is located in a plain with fertile soil and is close to a river. There is nutrient-rich riverbed silt that can be used as fertilizer. It is a natural grain-producing area and is said to have been the city's granary before the war.
When it comes to Yellowstone Farm, all the leaders of the settlements, big and small, around Colossus City know about it.
In order to maintain food for the settlement, they had purchased goods from here.
But few people know... The actual controller of Yellowstone Farm is the 303 Shelter not far underground, and this is just one of their wasteland industries.
“Huh~”
Huang Fan got off the harvester, took out a white handkerchief from his suit pocket, wiped the sweat off his head, and said to the rugged man who was driving the harvester with him:
"Wenjie, this harvester is so exciting to drive! All the grain goes into the bucket with a clatter, it's so relaxing! It's more exciting than driving a tank!"
The eldest brother looked at Huang Fan with admiration and said, "Mr. Fan, if you like it, come back tomorrow and I'll replace it with a new blade we just produced. It's guaranteed to be smoother and more stress-relieving!"
Huang Fan showed a sincere smile: "Thank you Wenjie, I have something to do tomorrow, I will come again when I have the chance. That... Xiao Wu, take out a box of new energy drinks from the 303 Beverage Factory in my car and share it with Wenjie, Kuang Xin, Dongqiang and others."
These rough guys who drove the harvesters and farmed the fields all looked embarrassed.
"Mr. Fan... You are so kind. Not only do you help us with the work yourself, but you also give us some delicious food every time you come... Last time I came home full, but my wife prepared a meal but I didn't eat it. She thought I ate it outside secretly."
"Hahaha~ Me too."
"Mr. Fan has been so kind to us... I will definitely grow more big and good beans for you!"
These farmers started talking to Huang Fan one after another, and their words were very familiar. It was not the kind of flattery to a superior, but it was like talking to... an elder.
Huang Fan looked into their eyes one by one, and from time to time he told some interesting stories about each of them.
It was obvious that he knew everyone here very well.
A moment later, Secretary Wu brought in a box of drinks in tin cans with the logo of the 303 Shelter Beverage Factory printed on them and a hefty price tag on them: 50.
The coins issued by the Colossus City are also used here.
50 yuan is enough to wholesale 100 kilograms of beans from them.
Card bar~
The farmers opened their cans and drank tons of it.
A surge of energy rose from within my body, and all the muscles in my body seemed to be cleansed. All the fatigue disappeared, and I felt warm as if I had taken a hot bath.
“This… this!”
"This feeling..."
“It feels so good!”
Huang Fan: "If you like to drink, I'll ask them to send you more drinks."
"This... is so embarrassing."
Although these men said they were embarrassed, there was a look of desire in their eyes. They rarely had the chance to drink this kind of drink that only rich people could afford in their lifetime.
These new beverages immediately captured the hearts of the farmers.
Huang Fan smiled at them and left Huangshi Farm with his secretary.
In the car.
Huang Fan wiped the dirt off his suit with a wet wipe and turned on his phone.
"Hmm... OK... I know about the Cang Niao."
After hanging up the phone, the secretary asked, "Boss Fan, our satellite signal can lock the location of the giant worker ants. Do we need to send out a super-killing team to deal with them?"
Huang Fan acted as if he hadn't heard anything. "Let the beverage factory provide a bottle of energy drink to the farm workers every week. They do the most tiring work in the shelter, there's no reason for them to live so poorly. Big Brother talks about common prosperity every day... The farm is just a few steps away, but he doesn't even look at how the farmers are treated."
The secretary asked in confusion, "Boss Fan, but... this energy drink is a drink with crystal energy added. It is a new product exported to Colossus City and the Great Settlement... The current production capacity is limited, and the people in the beverage factory may not be willing to do so."
"These capitalists are obsessed with money. If anyone says no, I will ask him to come to my office at night to discuss which street lamp is more comfortable to hang."
Secretary Wu: “Yes.”
Huang Fan carefully cleaned the dirt off his body and paused.
He said calmly: "Regarding the matter of the blue bird... let the astrologers go and see if those little guys are still alive. If their spirits are fine, just bring them back. If anyone is dead... then kill all the people who participated in it, and make their bodies into ever-bright lanterns and hang them on the four mountains."
Secretary Wu: "Some people in the shelter want them to pay for the bird. You see..."
Huang Fan looked out the window: "It's just a gray bird. If it's alive, bring it back. If it dies, just catch another one."
"In the wasteland, fighting is inevitable. As long as you don't kill our people, it proves that you still fear us. Do you know why the law in the pre-war world didn't execute human traffickers?"
Secretary Wu: "I understand..."
After Secretary Wu arranged things, the ground in a ruined building not far away slowly opened up.
Two elevators rose from it, and an old man in a blue robe walked out.
The glass door of another elevator slowly opened, revealing a large Gothic-style motorcycle with two wheels as thick as those of a truck, very exaggerated!
The old man in the robe jumped on the motorcycle and roared towards the four mountains.
On the way, the mutant creatures were frightened and fled in all directions.
Occasionally, some predators tried to intercept, but they were ruthlessly thrown away by the big motorcycles.
In the sky, a large red-eyed eagle with flames in its beak swooped down towards the motorcycle, trying to capture this conspicuous prey.
This is an extremely terrifying predator in the wasteland. Ordinary firearms cannot pose any threat to it at all. The feathers on its body are as hard as steel and it is extremely fast. There is almost no prey that it cannot catch. It can be said to be a member of the top food chain among mutant creatures.
All human survivors in the area are trying their best to avoid this red-eyed eagle to avoid being discovered by it.
stop!
As it swooped down from the sky, it rubbed the air and made a sharp whistling sound, and its big mouth was aimed at the astrologer's head hidden in the hood.
The astrologer didn't even look at it, just raised his hand slightly, and a bolt of lightning fell from the sky!
boom!
The red-eyed eagle that had been wreaking havoc in the wasteland for many years suddenly fell from the sky as if it had been hit by a huge hammer. The strong electric shock on its body destroyed all its muscles.
At this moment, the fear of death enveloped the eagle.
After absorbing fire crystals many times, it has acquired a small amount of wisdom. Before dying, it remembered... the running under the sunset that day, which was its lost youth.
վ'ᴗ'ի
At that time, it could not fly, but was just a pheasant walking on the ground. It had nothing but hard feathers. It was kept in captivity by humans and plucked every day until it accidentally ate a fiery red stone...
By the way, it vaguely remembers that many humans once called it - Chicken Titanium Magnesium.
Thinking of this, its last gasp of glory ended.
Pah~
The charred eagle fell to the ground.
No one absorbed the scattered death energy, but the smell of barbecue attracted a large number of mutant creatures.
... ...
Four mountains.
All players have returned to the Scourge base on the top of the mountain.
After many days of hard work, Uncle Tian finally directed the skeletons to build a pure solid wood door for the Scourge Base.
The road from the bottom of the mountain to the top was blocked.
With a thickness of 50cm, it can completely block bullets from rifles and pistols, providing players with adequate protection.
There are also wooden walls on both sides of the wooden door, where players can stand on them to fight back against the enemy.
"Hahaha! I am still the best! What does this lord know about city defense? Doesn't he still have to rely on me?"
The Inquisitor player gave Lao Tian a wave of 6, and they all stood on the wooden wall and found a good shooting position.
The necromancer who had learned the bone spear also stood up.
Cheng Shaofeng's shadow guard was watching the battle below just now. He felt a little relieved when he saw the players kill 10 soldiers in the first round of ambush.
"Soldiers, come on, you are the best!"
As a top-level forum user, he knew that the best thing he could do at this moment was... not to interfere with the players' operations.
He is just an ordinary person, who knows nothing about fighting in a team. Here are special forces, police officers, rich guys, professional players, and martial arts masters... Which one of them is not better than him
Let the players play freely, just lie back and let the shadow guards help fight.
At this time, the warriors of Colossus City halfway up the mountain were preparing to launch a second wave of attack after recovering their health through the energy infusion of a transcendent.
Before the attack, Zhang Bao looked through the body of "The Unsealed Secret Book" who was killed by them and found the smart watch on his hand.
"Hmm? This communication device has quite a bit of technology. Each of them has one... Maybe there are some secrets hidden here."
He glanced at the top of the mountain. It was very close, only about 100 meters away.
Zhang Bao pulled out his gun and aimed it at the head of the prisoner he was carrying up.
Bang!
Shot dead.
Blood was spilt everywhere.
The player "Septic tank" has been killed.
"From the attack just now, we can see that... the enemy doesn't care about the death of the prisoner at all. He is no longer useful and is just a burden."
The Christians also nodded in agreement.
"It looks like they don't have much escape route... Let's go up!"
The soldiers of the Colossus City continued to move forward, and several of their extraordinary people destroyed all the traps on the way, rendering Lin Tang's level 8 Storm Magic Box useless.
In the Scourge Base.
Lin Tang looked at the 25 traps he had made by drinking the blue bottle before the war. Only the first one of them worked, and his face was very grim.
"MD, the IQ of these AIs is too high! You deserve to die, you idiot planner!"
The player who was just shot in the head, "The Unsealed Secret Book", has been resurrected. He immediately agreed: "Indeed! The bastard planner is not a human being! The NPC's shooting skills are more accurate than mine!"
"Wuhu! I'm alive again!"
The unsealed secret book crawled out of the clone warehouse.
"Fuck! These NPCs are really perverted. They tied me up and whipped me. They almost extended my XP..."
All players:
But this was not the time to chat, as the battle began again as the Inquisitors began their second round of shooting.
This time the Colossus soldiers learned their lesson. Instead of purely defending, they fired back while moving forward with shields raised. The dense stream of bullets made the players unable to raise their heads. I don't know if their climbing speed was enhanced, but it was even faster than before.
The long-range abilities of the Crusader superhumans above also put great pressure on the Inquisitor players.
What bothered them the most was... the opponent's 6 extraordinary people's summoning skills could be used again, and 6 strange birds that could throw lightning balls flew over again, and the Inquisitor player could only shoot the birds.
The demon fox would only say: "Dead players... let the skeletons go down the mountain to stop them!"
"good!"
If we gather together all the skeletons in the Scourge base, there are a total of 34!
Most of the Undead players who learned the Skeleton Resurrection skill upgraded this skill to level 5 and summoned 2 skeletons.
Interesting thing is... Cheng Shaofeng can summon 4 skeletons.
Because his main body summons 2, the Shadow Guard who inherits his level 5 Skeleton Resurrection skill can also summon 2.
Seeing players frequently using this skill to summon skeletons that could attack from a distance, Atton secretly learned it himself. Moreover, during the time he was training at the Scourge Base, his energy increased rapidly, and he can now control 3 skeletons.
Looking around, there are densely packed skeletons.
Melee and ranged are about half and half.
The 12 imprisoned necromancers looked at him with envy.
Captain Li Zhe said: "Brothers... I think we should learn their skills. Being a necromancer is quite fun. It is much more interesting than I thought."
The team members responded one after another.
"Yeah, and their skill of firing bone spears. It consumes very little energy, but is very powerful against single targets."
"Brother Dun's Death Armor is even more amazing. It adds an energy shield to our Necromancers, forcing their energy to a higher level. It can protect themselves and increase spell damage... If it is possible to escape, I want to learn these three skills first and then bring them back to our 303 Shelter to give a surprise to our friends who were forced to switch to Necromancer training like us!"
"Right, right, right! We will lie dormant first... steal everything they have learned from their base, and then break out of the prison! By then, not only will we no longer be prisoners, we will also be the heroes of Shelter 303!"
Li Zhe nodded: "Let's do it this way! We won't leave now even if someone tells us to!"
12 new undeads began to worship a better future.
Squeak~
Uncle Tian opened the door and saw a group of skeletons with ghost lights coming out of their heads standing in front of the door.
“Go!
!”
At the command of the demon fox, all the skeletons launched a fearless charge towards the enemies at the foot of the mountain.
Level 5 Skeletons can kill ordinary plunderers in close combat. As for these ordinary human soldiers... as long as they get close to them, it will be a one-sided massacre.
Kachakacha~
“What’s that sound!”
The soldiers of Colossus City, who had already climbed 70 meters and were about to attack the enemy's gate, heard a strange noise, as if someone was running above.
Bang bang bang!
Their gunshots completely suppressed the Inquisitor players above.
The extraordinary people of the Crusaders released skills continuously and were already a little tired. They raised their staffs again and aimed at the strange noise in front of them.
Kachakacha!
Fast-moving skeletons popped up and pounced down the mountain ferociously.
"Necromancer's Skeleton!"
A certain extraordinary being who knew what was going on immediately raised his hand and used an evil eye attack, knocking off a piece of the sternum of the skeleton in the front, but it did not affect the charge of the skeletons at all. They... were even less afraid of death than the players.
Bang bang bang!
The soldiers immediately turned their guns around and shot at the skeleton, but their bullets passed through the gaps between the skeleton's bones, causing little effective damage.
After smashing the 8 skeletons in front.
Their extraordinary people were helpless, there were simply... too many of them!
"Ah! Ahem~ Help~ Me~"
A soldier covered his neck which was bleeding madly, struggling for help, but no one could save him...
The skeleton archers above charged forward while shooting bone arrows downwards.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
The long-range skeletons' bone arrows were so powerful that they shot through the hearts of the soldiers who didn't have time to raise their shields.
Even if the soldiers who were hit by arrows were not hit in vital parts, the high-level skeleton arrows had the ability to absorb vitality, causing the parts that were hit to age rapidly and lose vitality.
This is the vitality damage of the skeleton!
boom!
The Crusader's extraordinary person used an extremely energy-consuming energy wave to push away the skeleton that was already close to him, and shouted: "Hurry up and let the soldiers retreat!"
The blood plague they can cause among humans has no effect at all on dead creatures like skeletons!
The effect caused by the debuff is also very general.
Undead creatures are immune to most skills targeting living creatures!
Zhang Bao watched the soldiers around him fall down one after another, and he was extremely anxious: "Retreat! Retreat immediately!"
Phew!
The fox demon's level 8 melee skeleton moved flexibly and pounced directly on a female transcendent in front, chopping off her arm holding the staff with one knife!
"Ah! My arm!"
She covered her increasingly festering wound, her face filled with fear, and crawled towards the group of soldiers. She did not have the composure and grace she had at that moment, and quickly deflated like a punctured balloon.
The level 8 skeleton, which was obviously larger than the other skeletons, stared at these people with cold soul fire. After succeeding in killing them with a single blow, it continued to chase them.
Bang! Poof!
Zhang Bao shot the skeleton in the skull, and the evil eye of another extraordinary person also hit the skeleton, causing a lot of damage, but... the level 8 skeleton had extremely strong vitality, and continued to chop down two soldiers despite the intense damage before being killed by their concentrated fire.
"Damn it! What level of necromancer is this? The summoned creatures are so powerful! We are in big trouble! Zhang Bao, are you stupid? You led us to provoke such a powerful enemy!"
The older Crusader superhumans cursed loudly, saying that they had no other specialties except for a few more skills than ordinary people. They could not fly in the clouds and were invulnerable to swords and guns. They would die if they were hacked by skeletons!
Zhang Bao really wanted to scold them. Who would say that the other party was only capable of this
"The number and capabilities of the other side's extraordinary people... have far exceeded our expectations. We must go back and report to the captain!"
"It's no use reporting to your captain. You need to report to the top leaders of the Cross Church!"
Everyone fled in a panic as they were chased by a sea of skeletons.
While they were fighting fiercely, no one noticed... the shadow guard had sneaked up behind them.
Cheng Shaofeng's shadow guard was hiding in the dark... observing the battlefield clearly.
Seeing the soldiers of Colossus City retreating in panic, he was delighted.
"It's time for me to take action!"
He blocked behind the soldiers of Colossus City and gathered all his strength.
"roar!
!”
A battle roar enveloped the soldiers and even the extraordinary people who were unable to react.
They only felt a buzzing in their ears and their vision went black.
They all stayed where they were.
"Take another one of my jump shots!"
Shadow guard Cheng Shaofeng condensed an energy shadow sword in his hand and leaped towards the crowded place!
At the same time, Cheng Shaofeng at the base also sent signals to the players in a timely manner.
"Soldiers, it's our turn to attack!"
