Exploration quests are not looting.

This mission is different from scavenging. Players who enter the map can only look around and cannot take away the contents.

After all, this place can no longer be regarded as the wild, even the data cards are there.

Mole speculated that it should be planned by the dog planner to check the BUG in the map, so this event was arranged, and the labor force of the players was prostituted with game currency.

If you look at it this way, it's hard to say whether the Easter egg is there!

After storing his favorite gun in the locker, Mole followed the footsteps of other players, passed through the buffer room with two gates, and finally stepped into this dusty shelter.

The space here is very spacious, with a floor height of five meters. Behind the half-moon-shaped hall is the residents' square. Two arc-shaped corridors circle the outline of the square. On both sides of the square are four fan-shaped partitions—this is quite true. The layout is somewhat similar to the B2 floor of shelter 404.

However, judging from the structural diagram printed on the front wall of the hall, the overall structure of this shelter is quite different from that of shelter 404.

Shelter 117 has only 3 floors in total. From B1 to B3, the occupied area decreases successively, and the space is like an upside-down pyramid.

Shelter 404 is the complete opposite. Although the players haven't been to the space below B3, comparing B1 and B2, it is obvious that the area below is larger.

After a brief stroll around the B1 floor, Mole returned to the resident hall, and happened to meet Brother Mosquito who came out from the right area.

The guy said with envy.

"My side should be a functional area! There is a canteen, a reading room, and an infirmary! Damn...I even saw a basketball court!"

Mole smiled and said, "It's not surprising, there are only a hundred people in this shelter, and it's normal to have a higher configuration. I also saw private bathrooms in their rooms, and each room has them."

Mosquito said enviously.

"If you don't understand, just ask, can I change to a shelter after the public beta?"

Mole gave him a speechless look.

"What's the point? The name of this game isn't Sanctuary. The content is all on the surface. Even if you change the resurrection point, it won't give you a buff."

Mosquito: "F*ck, what you said makes sense."

Not good and justified.

But it was originally...

Mole was about to tease him a few words, at this moment, two players came out from the safe passage next to the elevator.

Richest Elf King said excitedly, "Have you guys gone to the B2 floor to see it? It's just going to blow up there!"

Mole looked at them both curiously.

"What did you see?"

Irena said helplessly: "Hey, it's an artificial greenhouse. I don't understand what he's excited about."

Richest Elf King: "Isn't it amazing to be able to farm in the shelter? And it's not just a plantation, there are water purification devices and processing workshops behind it... and things I can't understand. This shit is simply man-made Ecosphere!"

While talking, he, like Brother Mosquito, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Hey, this is called a shelter! Unlike ours, there is nothing, and you have to pay for taking a bath and going to the toilet!"

Mole: "By the way, which of you went to the B3 floor?"

Richest Elf King: "We all went. There is nothing to see on the B3 floor. The area is small. Except for the manager's office, there is only a reactor that has been turned off. I thought there would be radiation, but I went in to see it." It was only at a glance that there was nothing... By the way, you have already explored the B1 floor? Did you find anything?"

As soon as he entered the door just now, he and the old man went straight to the B2 floor, and they hadn't had time to look at the B1 floor.

Mole shook his head and said.

"There are a lot of rooms on the B1 floor, I looked carefully."

However, it seems that some fast-moving players have finished browsing the B1 floor and started rushing to the B2 floor.

Mole saw just now that a short-haired female player was pulling another female player with a high ponytail and rushed to the B2 floor excitedly.

Followed by a white bear.

With a slight movement in his heart, Mole looked at his VM and switched to the page of active tasks.

At this moment, his expression froze for a moment.

[ Full Server Exploration Progress: 90% ]

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Mole always feels that this task is not as simple as he imagined.

...

Facts have proved that even if it is not a perception system, his intuition is very accurate.

It took a full hour, and Mole opened all the doors that could be opened, and walked around all the rooms that could be entered.

However, even though he visited every corner of the shelter, and even walked around the wall after visiting, the "Personal exploration progress" was still stuck at 90%.

No matter how hard he tried, the number didn't budge!

"Hey, that's really weird!" Staring at the map on the VM screen, he touched the gray-nosed mole with a bewildered expression on his face.

He was obviously not alone in this problem. The same goes for other players.

If there is something missing, it's fine, but even the "Full server exploration progress" is stuck at 90%.

In other words, everyone is stuck in the same place...

After going offline that day.

More than half of the posts on the official website forum are discussing this matter.

The Boy On The Construction Site: "I have an ominous premonition, could it be another bug?"

Mole In The Hole: "+1, the progress is stuck at 90% and I can't move. I can be sure that I didn't miss a corner. I ran all over the shelter!"

WC Really Has Mosquitoes: "MMP, I ran all over, I ran three times! The paint on the wall is almost wiped off by me!"

Richest Elf King: "Could there be a hidden passage?"

Sisi: "It's really possible...but it's too secretive, isn't it?"

Tail: "Damn it, Tail ran eight laps! Didn't find anything!"

Mole In The Hole: "I'll go to the manager's office tomorrow, I always feel that there may be something hidden in it..."

Yaya: "Well, my feeling is exactly the opposite of yours. When I explore the B2 floor, I always have a strange feeling... It seems that something is missing."

Walker: "Missing some mushrooms? (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)"

Yaya: "Go to hell! I'm serious! (`Д′*)9"

WC Really Has Mosquitoes: "Maybe that easter egg is the remaining 10%!"

Killing Chicken At Midnight: "It's not good, my obsessive-compulsive disorder is about to attack."

Looking at the discussion on the official website forum, Lucius was as confused as these players.

Speaking with conscience, it is true that he made up that easter egg, but 90% of the obsessive-compulsive disorder is not his fault.

The "Full server exploration progress" that players see is actually the progress bar he sees on the manager system page.

Could it be that in shelter 117, there is still a hidden snow area that is not marked on the blueprint?

Not so.

The event is not in a hurry, and half of the players haven't explored it yet.

Lucius planned to wait and see if the remaining players had any new discoveries.

On the other hand, the cowboy team who went to explore the Aviatium Aerospace Ecological Experimental Base also made new discoveries.

According to the terminals and other electronic equipment they recovered in the guard room, Tom restored the data left on the storage hardware and came to the conclusion that the entire facility is actually a fully enclosed nuclear fusion reactor. artificial biosphere.

"...At present, there is no direct clue to prove which project the ecological experiment base is related to. Maybe it serves the shelter plan, or maybe it is for studying how to establish colonies in outer space."

After listening to Tom's report, Lucius directly asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Can you find the fuel rods?"

Tom nodded.

"It should be possible, but according to the information explored by your players, there seem to be a lot of alien species hidden inside, and it may take some time to clean up those alien species."

Hearing this, Lucius breathed a sigh of relief.

Taking time is the little things.

As long as you can get your hands on the fuel rods, it's worth the extra time.

...

While the players were busy with their respective tasks, Lucius was not idle.

The weaving of the guard expanded from 15 people to 45 people. Of the 30 new recruits, 50% came from Beit Street, and 50% came from the refugee camp.

As one's own direct troops, it is impossible to completely let go of it.

In addition, after a day's detention of Prieter and others who were captured earlier, Lucius sent them all to the brick factory, where they were reformed by labor.

Looking at the new workers, Eugene recognized at a glance that the identities of these guys were the same as his own, and they were all captives of the blue coats.

Not only that, he also smelled a familiar smell from them.

Lunch time.

The new captive sat in a corner to eat.

Eugene, who was carrying a lunch box, walked over and spoke to the four of them.

"Hey new here, how did you get in here?"

Prieter glanced at him.

"Mercenary, what about you?"

"Coincidentally, me too," grinning, Eugene glanced at the man with the bandaged arm, "By the way, what's wrong with your hand?"

Carl said with a straight face, expressionless.

"I fell down."

Eugene whistled: "It's okay to fall, you can break your wrist. I'm afraid you fell on the vice."

Machine gunner Lambert stepped forward, staring at this guy, and said in a deep voice.

"Are you here to find fault?"

Eugene raised his eyebrows, not paying attention to his provocation at all.

Lambert was annoyed and was about to start, but at this moment, a voice came from beside him.

"I advise you to stay out of trouble."

"If you don't want to be hanged."

Lambert's expression froze, and the other three also looked at the voice, only to see a man standing there with a bulge in the middle of the bridge of the nose.

Prieter glanced at Lambert and gave him a look, which the latter swallowed with difficulty and drew back.

The tense atmosphere eased a little.

Coincidentally at this moment, a man who looked like a guard walked in from the outside, looked around everyone, and said with a blank expression.

"Who is Vanus?"

The man who had stopped the confrontation earlier raised his hand.

"I am."

The guards didn't talk nonsense and said straight to the point.

"Come with me."

Vanus nodded, put down the lunch box in his hand, got up and followed the guard.

The atmosphere in the room was a little delicate.

Prieter looked at Eugene and asked.

"Who's that person?"

"You mean him?" Eugene looked at the man who followed the guards out of the brickyard, and said with a tut, "He's amazing."

Prieter asked.

"Which aspect are you referring to?"

Eugene said.

"In all aspects, have you heard of the Legion?"

Prieter nodded.

The Legion has been fighting the people of the Great Rift Valley in the north for a year, and the refugees from the north have never stopped. The taverns in Boulder City can always hear rumors about the expeditionary force, but most of them are not very reliable.

Some people said that they had already won half a year ago, and the legion forces had already entered the River Valley Province. Some people also said that they lost so thoroughly that even the general was captured. Others say that General Klass died at the front, and now a new general is leading the army. And even more outrageous rumors also said that the people of the legion, seeing that they couldn't move the Great Rift Valley, decided to send their troops south to invade Spring City.

One thing is beyond doubt, those people are strong!

"I heard that people from the Legion have a bone protruding from the middle of the bridge of the nose..." Recalling the man's facial features, Prieter said in his heart, "Is he from the Legion?"

Eugene looked at him and said in an intriguing tone.

"Yes, and the commander-in-chief."

Commander!

Lambert gasped, and Jerry and Carl looked at each other with expressions on their faces.

Although they haven't seen the legion with their own eyes, they have heard a lot about the legion.

To capture a commander of a thousand, at least one thousand-man brigade of a legion must be wiped out.

Prieter swallowed hard, feeling his index finger tremble.

What kind of opponent are they fighting?

If he was still a little bit unconvinced before, and regretted that he didn't put on the power armor to fight out, at this moment he can only feel lucky.

The strength of these blue coats is probably even more terrifying than he imagined!

Fortunately, there was no resistance to the end.

It's great to be alive...

Meanwhile, outside the brick factory.

Following the footsteps of the guards and walking towards the north gate of the Wetland Park, Vanus glanced around and couldn't help asking.

"Where are we going?"

The guard said blankly.

"My lord wants to see you."

Vanus reminded cautiously.

"The outpost is not here."Said the guard impatiently.

"Your Excellency went to Starwood Farm before noon... If you are told to follow, you will follow, how can there be so much nonsense!"

Hearing this reprimand, Vanus immediately shut his mouth, but he was slightly relieved in his heart.

When he first came out, he was still a little nervous, thinking that he was going to pull himself out and kill him.

Now it seems that at least there is no need to die...

...

Meanwhile, B2 floor of shelter 117.

In a huge artificial greenhouse.

Yaya standing next to the hydroponic tank, rubbing his chin seriously, frowning slightly.

"There is indeed a problem here."

Shuri yawned, with a helpless expression on his face.

"Are you sure you read it right?"

About two hours ago, she was about to start work, but was dragged here by Yaya involuntarily.

To be honest, she didn't think at all that the two of them could find the clues that the bigwigs on the forum hadn't found so easily.

As a professional life player of the Buddhist system, she prefers to wait for the strategy to come out before making up for the 10% rather than wasting time on such details...

"I'm sure, I'm absolutely right!" Yaya said seriously, "Don't forget that I'm a perception department!"

Hearing this sentence, Shuri's expression was a little subtle.

Perception? Isn't it mushroom type...

Not noticing Shuri's subtle expression, Yaya's index finger groped along the side of the hydroponic tank, and soon discovered what made her feel unnatural.

I saw a small light green trace printed on the side of the hydroponic tank!

"Toxin?!"

Yaya's heart moved, and she moved closer to observe carefully.

The traces are very shallow and thin, like the silk spit out by a spider. If it weren't for her 10 points of perception, coupled with the talent of "Poison intuition", it would have been missed!

Realizing this, the expression on Yaya's face instantly became excited.

Can't go wrong! It is toxin!

Groping along the intermittent traces, she soon came to a wall.

Following behind Yaya, Shuri said in a daze.

"Is there anything here?"

"My talent is toxin detection. There is dried venom on the ground...but the clue is broken here. Could it be in the wall?"

Yaya reached out and tapped on the wall twice.

However, it may be because the wall is too thick, just by listening to the sound, it is impossible to determine whether there is something hidden behind it.

Shuri asked suspiciously.

"This is a very ordinary wall, can you read it wrong—"

In the middle of speaking, Yaya, who was groping on the wall with both hands, suddenly seemed to touch some mechanism, and there was a clear click on the wall.

Immediately afterwards, a crack suddenly appeared on the seemingly flat alloy wall, and it began to move steadily to the sides, revealing the passage behind.

This wall is actually a secret door!

The two little players standing in front of the wall were stunned on the spot.

Shuri swallowed, and whispered to himself.

"I, we... found the hidden map?"

The hidden map that even the bosses didn't find was so easily found by the two of them?!

Although it is mainly due to Yaya...

However, now is clearly not the time to discuss credit.

Looking at the passage hidden behind the wall, Yaya's face was full of excitement, and she hugged Shuri excitedly.

"Easter egg! It's an easter egg!"

"Hahahaha, as expected of me, I actually found it!"

"Goooooh-"

Shuri, whose head was buried, made a sound like drowning.

Easter eggs haven't been seen yet.

She felt that her blood bar was going to be empty...
