The outpost square is crowded with people at the moment.

Although it was already dark in the wasteland at this moment, it was already dawn in reality, but due to the recent update, many players who had just gone offline came back from the forum.

Big Eyes in Debt: "Brother, what occupation did you choose?"

The Boy On The Construction Site: "Hey, in the game of picking up trash, of course, you have to bring scavengers!"

Crazy Bookworm: "I choose soldier!"

Quit Smoking: "Damn? Bullets are so expensive, and your shooting experience has reached 3?"

Crazy Bookworm: "No, but you can also meet the job requirements if you have participated in three or more war mobilizations. The bullets in the NPC store will be 10% off."

Quit Smoking: "I'm crying, envious of old players!"

The door of the guard room.

Tail and Sisi led a big white bear and took it to forcefully register as a soldier.

Looking at the VM strapped to her arm, Roushaa The Big Momo whispered with an aggrieved face.

"But, I don't want to fight...I want to be a professional gamer."

Sisi pretended to be serious and said: "How can it be called a fight, you are clearly protecting everyone as shields."

Tail gave a thumbs up energetically, his eyes sparkled: "That's right! Roushaa, show a little manliness!"

Roushaa The Big Momo: "Yes, but I am a girl."

Tail was taken aback.

"Hey! I'd have forgotten if you didn't tell me!"

Sisi went up and pulled the fur on its stomach, trying to make the big pyrene stand upright.

"All in all, you first say that orcs will never be slaves, hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

Roushaa The Big Momo looked embarrassed, and was forced to open his paws helplessly.

"Ho, ho... oh."

The air was subtly quiet.

Sisi and Tail looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

"Tail, I give up."

"Tsk, it really should be used as emergency food."

Roushan Big Momo: (⁠。⁠ŏ⁠﹏⁠ŏ⁠)

Not far from the industrial area.

Walker, who had just come out of the shelter and worked as a scavenger at the warehouse manager, happened to see Brother Mosquito, so he walked over and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

"Brother, what kind of occupation do you have?"

"Craftsman! Scavengers! There is another thought," Mosquito said with a chuckle, "As for last why not I choose an inventor or a weapon master?!"

Walker almost choked when he heard these words.

"Pfft, you're supposed to be playing in an alliance—"

Before he finished speaking, there was a slight tremor under his feet.

The players standing on the square and exchanging the new version all had surprised expressions on their faces, looking left and right.

"Damn it? An earthquake?"

"Is this testing some new system?"

"It's awesome! There are even earthquakes, this game is getting more and more real."

Players didn't feel much about the sudden earthquake, but felt that the game's physics engine was getting more and more realistic.

On the contrary, the NPCs in the outpost were quite frightened by this sudden situation.

Market at the North Gate.

Autumn, who was setting up a stall, hugged her younger sister Akiba in her arms, embracing her shivering shoulders, her eyes full of panic.

Not far from the tribe of nomads.

The animals in the barn were restless, and the elderly herdsmen knelt on the ground, muttering something in their mouths, praying to the gods.

Maybe the prayers worked?

The tremor only lasted for a while and then stopped.

NPCs ran to check whether the house was damaged, while the players were discussing what new tricks their planner, Light, was doing.

At this moment, a shout of excitement suddenly came from the square.

"Damn! Look at the VM!"

Hearing this voice, the players all looked towards their VMs.

"VM? Is there anything on the VM?"

"New mission! But it seems that only soldiers, hunters, and scavengers can receive it!"

Staring at the VM screen, I opened Walker in the task bar, and I found something different in the column of professional tasks.

[ Task: Clean up the B3 floor passage ]

A surprised expression appeared on Walker's face.

"A new exit has been unlocked on the B3 floor?!"

Mosquito was also startled.

"Damn it?! Why didn't I see it down there just now?"

Walker said with a strange expression.

"Maybe it's because the area hasn't been unlocked just now... In short, let's go and see it first!"

"Go together!"

...

There is a new mission, so naturally I have to take a look.

A few small players immediately formed a team, took a risk to take a look at the tunnel outside the B3 floor, and found that there were quite a few alien species inside.

However, there is a very serious problem now. Everyone's weapons are stored in the equipment room on the B1 floor.

According to the shelter resident manual, the shelter is a safe area, and you cannot pass through the buffer room with weapons. However, apart from the shelter, there is no other entrance that can directly reach the outer door on the B3 floor.

It is equivalent to that their weapons cannot be carried at all!

You can't fight with aliens with your bare hands, right?

Except for the power-type and the intelligence-type transformed by a certain prosthetic body, I am afraid that there are not many who can fight against the alien species head-on!

Fortunately, the dog planner probably discovered this bug and fixed it soon.

Now, you can submit an application for "Carrying weapons through the shelter" through the VM. Just check the bound equipment in the item bar, and you can take it through the gate of the buffer room to enter the shelter.

However, after entering the shelter, the player with the weapon will be temporarily locked in using the facilities. In principle, he only has the right of passage and needs to leave the restricted area as soon as possible.

In this state, the player cannot return to his room, use weapons, or enter the living area to use the equipment there.

After more than 5 minutes, the VM gets the first alert, and at the 10th minute, the second warning.

If you do not leave the shelter within 15 minutes, it will be considered a minor violation and you will be kicked out of the game, and your login status will be locked for ten minutes.

The equipment brought into the shelter will also be regarded as contraband and will be confiscated by the shelter.

From the buffer door on the B1 floor to the buffer door on the B3 floor, it takes only 3 minutes under normal circumstances, and the maximum time of 15 minutes is still very generous.

The manager dragged two vending machines from shelter 117 and put them in the maintenance room outside the buffer zone on the B3 floor.

However, what was placed in the vending machine was not drinks, but bullets and bandages. Among them, the bullets are divided into two types, one is cheap reloading ammunition, and the other is stamped ammunition with more reliable quality.

If players need supplies, they don’t even need to bother to go to the surface, they can buy them directly at the exit on the B3 floor of the shelter.

It can be said that it is very convenient!

...

While the little players were fighting with the alien species in the tunnel, Lucius was in the warehouse on the B3 floor, confirming the products produced from the black box.

A dormant cabin and a VM are lying next to the outlets of the two black boxes, and they are still hot to the touch, which is amazing.

There is nothing to say about the VM. It is the same model as the ones he found on the B2 floor. Maybe those VMs were produced by the black box in front of him.

As for the dormant cabin dedicated to clones...

Tom rubbed his chin and looked at it for a while, then gave his evaluation.

"This thing is kind of like a simplified hibernation pod."

Lucius asked.

"What is a simplified sleep cabin?"

Tom replied.

"To put it simply, the organism lying in it doesn't stop metabolism, it just makes the organism go to sleep... Well, it seems to have a scanning function."

While speaking, a light blue pop-up window appeared in Lucius's field of vision, floating above the dormant cabin. It seems that in the eyes of the administrator system, the things produced by the black boxes in the shelter are also part of the shelter 404.

Now, it is the managers who systematically exercise the right of interpretation.

【 Item: Hibernation cabin dedicated to clones. 】

【 Explanation: It includes organism scanning, genetic information, and DNA expression detection functions, and can upload data to the main server of the shelter within the coverage area of ​​the signal. 】

It's a save point!

After reading this line of instructions, Lucius immediately gave an evaluation in his heart.

Pity. This thing does not have the function of clone breeding, it can only help players go offline and save the development progress of the gene sequence.

It seems that the black box for the production training cabin is not on this floor.

But think about it, if it’s on this floor, why put training cabins in the 600 rooms on this floor?

Just let yourself create things that don't work and you're done.

Just when Lucius was feeling regretful, the door of the warehouse opened, and Hena walked in quickly from the outside, walking towards him, and said full of praise.

"Your infirmary is really great. It not only has a dispensing room but also a sample library. It's a small medical laboratory! It's much more functional than our infirmary in shelter 117! You can lend it to me for a while?"

"Of course, it was meant for you."

Seeing that Hena was so satisfied with the working environment, a smile appeared on Lucius's face. He likes hardworking employees the most!

"Thank you! I'm planning to start a new project, mainly for the study of the ecological environment and species on the wasteland. Those equipment will come in handy!" Hena said happily, with a cheerful smile on her face, If It would be nice if you could lend me some more samples."

Emmm...

The samples here should refer to samples of different species, right?

Before Lucius came back to his senses, Tom, who was standing next to him, suddenly took two steps forward excitedly, staring straight at her.

"Wait a minute, I don't take the liberty to ask... have you installed a prosthetic body?"

Hena was slightly taken aback, then nodded slightly.

"Yes……"

"Eyes? Hands? Or organs? It's unbelievable...can you borrow me to study it?"

Looking at the fanatical Tom, Hena's face turned pale, and she hid behind Lucius in fear.

Lucius sighed, and looked helplessly at his other employee.

"You know what, you look like a pervert right now."

Tom looked at Hena in a daze and asked.

"You... aren't bionics?"

"I just installed more bionic organs." Hena, who was standing behind Lucius, looked at him with a frosty face.

Standing between the two of them, Lucius couldn't help but touch his forehead.

This guy is too bad at talking. How can anyone say that others are bionics!

Not far away, Sumeria, who was standing with Pipi, suddenly muttered something in a low voice.

"Too close."

Popo raised the camera and looked at the proprietress of the weapon shop next to her in a daze.

Noticing Popi's gaze, Sumeria glanced at it.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"Popo is just curious."

"Curious?"

"That's right, Popo wants to know what strange things are thinking in your little head. By the way, strange things specifically refer to things related to reproduction."

Popo blushed and stared at it murderously.

"You, you robot vacuum! What nonsense are you talking about!"

The sweeping robot seemed to have stimulated Popo, and it was so angry that it circled around in place.

"You, you, you! Popo has decided not to speak a word to you within 24 hours from now on."

Seeing the "Wastebasket spinning top" spinning in place, Sumeria rolled her eyes.

Who cares! Don't ask me to carry you up if you have the ability.

...

On the first day the new version was launched, there were rave reviews on the forum.

In the past, tasks were either piled up and thrown on the public screen, or swiped on a player's VM alone. Every day, I had to struggle with which to do and which not to do, and which person planned a PY transaction with the dog again.

Although "Wasteland OL" is still in the beta test stage of crossing the river by feeling the stones, many players have obviously taken it seriously and regard it as a second home outside of reality.

There is the super righteous manager Shuguang, the super cute little fish, the arrogant Boss Sumeria, the dedicated Old Luka, the little hunter brother who always comes to visit, Dr. Tom who can put his face on his butt, and the recently updated SSSR card.

After playing enough fast-food games and tired of being cut off by operators as leeks, it is not bad to experience slow-paced casual games occasionally.

Especially after lying down and playing games all night, not only will I not be sleepy at all the next day, but I will also be able to welcome the rising sun refreshed.

There is probably no other game like this in the world.

Forum:

The Boy On The Construction Site: "Hahaha, the new version is too cool!"

Kakarot From The Future: "Damn! There are still two days left, so anxious to wait!"

Sleepy Moon Fox: "Whoa, I've already put the helmet on the pillow!"

Quit smoking: "?! What kind of strange strategy is this, no, how did this happen!"

Red Face Boxer: "By the way, can the planting area on the B3 floor be open to players? I think something can be planted there!"

Stop Talking Nonsense: "Nonsense, that's obviously a fish tank!"

Red Face Boxer: "You are the fish tank, and your whole family is a fish tank!"

Martin: "Guys, can you type slower, I can't see anything!"

8th Level Gale: "Compared to the planting area, what interests me most about the new version is the power room. I'm curious whether the operator will design the controllable fusion reactor as a model of a tokamak or stellarator, whether they use magnetic confinement or Inertial restraint or the unpopular electrostatic restraint, what is the ignition device. But this part seems to have no content, sorry."

Get Up Ten Times A Night: "Operator: Sorry, we really didn't think about it that much, why don't you help us make one. (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)"

Irena: "+1, since the rifle imitates CF, then I have a reasonable suspicion that the reactor should be copied from Overwatch's ass. ⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠"

Night Commander: "The air is shaking and cold, am I not worthy of big EVE?"

The Thunder King: "What about the tokamak and the stellarator, what a fool! Someone in my family is an academician of the Academy of Physics, I won't mention the name, it involves too much. Fusion pile or something, just smile when you see it, it’s full of loopholes!”

8th Level Gale: "In front of the universe, we are all frogs at the bottom of the well. I personally think that naive thoughts are not ridiculous. What is ridiculous is the arrogance that thinks it is mature. You think that you have seen the whole sky just by looking at the mouth of the well."

Get Up Ten Times A Night: "Damn it, Gale is serious! He started saying things I don't understand! "

Badass Bunny: "I remember that Gale is a physics teacher."

Gale: "ᕙ⁠(⁠⇀⁠‸⁠↼⁠‶⁠)⁠ᕗ"

Irena: "You people, can you be kinder to the pet, how do you know what he said is not true? (funny)"

Elf King Fugui: "This old man is very bad, you say he is a pet, and you still pretend to be stupid. (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)"

Red Face Boxer: "Hahahahaha!"

There is a cheerful atmosphere on the forum.

There was no accident, Brother The Thunder King after pretending to be aggressive, and did not give anyone a chance to tease him. Everyone guessed that this guy probably didn't get the beta test qualification, so he came to the forum to vent.

Brother Light was bad enough, he secretly sent a forum badge to reserved players, which was displayed on the personal page by default.

Now everyone knows that this guy made an appointment while spouting, which is really his brother's behavior.

...

The next day.

All players carrying VMs have received a server-wide announcement.

The abandoned tire factory located between the outpost and Starwood Farm has finally completed its preparations, and the relocation of heavy industry facilities including No. 81 Steel Factory has finally been completed.

Since it was too close to the outpost, less than five kilometers away, no new stronghold was set up, but a part of the outpost.

In the newly established factory building, [ Yamasaa, I Want To Go To The Toilet], [ Ward's Beriberi Levin ], and [ WC Really Has Mosquitoes ] gathered together.

Three young players who have served the maximum sentence are discussing something intensely.

Yamasaa: "We need an anti-aircraft weapon!"

Levin: "Better cheap and easy to build!"

Mosquito: "And it can target both the air and the ground!"

Levin: "Why don't we make the 88 gun!"

Brother Yamasaa's eyes lit up and he gave a thumbs up.

"This can be!"

The two immediately looked at Mosquito, but they didn't expect Mosquito to have no brainwaves with them this time.

"I object! The 88 gun is neither cheap nor easy to make!"

Levin: "We didn't say to make an identical one, so why not change it?"

Yamasaa: "That's right! It's a big deal to build an 88mm smoothbore gun, which can also be called an 88 gun!"

Mosquito couldn't help complaining: "That's a fucking 88 gun! Can it hit the plane?"

Yamasaa: "How do you know what we built won't hit!"

Mosquito looked up at the sky and sighed, and suddenly said righteously.

"For the sake of the future of shelter 404, it seems that we have to part ways."

Brother Levin looked at him cautiously.

"By the way, what are you going to do?"

Mosquito looked brightly and said: "Jabbazooka! I plan to change the 9 launch tubes to 12! There are fibers that can increase the detonation speed of gunpowder. I think it is very good!"

Brother Yamasaa: "..."

Brother Levin: "..."

Does this thing have a record of shooting down planes?
