A person is mortal, either heavier than Mountain, or as light as a feather.

If it were in reality, Bunny felt that he might hesitate for a long time before making such a decision, after all, it meant that there were too many things to give up.

But luckily, this is the game world.

And in the game, you can die many times.

Without even a second of hesitation, his body has already made a choice——

"Run!"

While roaring and yelling this word, Bunny raised the sickle assault rifle in his hand, and pulled the trigger towards Deathclaw who was looking at Gale.

Da da da--!

Flames spewed from the muzzle of the gun, and the bullets swished across the verdant vegetation, heading towards the monster.

Blood splattered on the black scales, and Deathclaw let out a painful roar.

With its powerful feet exerting force violently, it dodged the incoming bullets from the side, rushed towards Bunny, and swiftly swung its sharp claws.

Bunny didn't panic at all, and adjusted the output power of the exoskeleton to the maximum, but his seemingly bulky body was like a rabbit, flexibly dodging the roaring fatal blow, and dodged around the thigh-thick palm tree trunk. The dense forest behind him.

And the immobile palm tree was not so lucky. The whole thing fell apart as if it had been hit by a bulldozer.

Seeing that the prey dodged the fatal blow, Deathclaw let out an angry growl, his amber pupils narrowed dangerously, and without hesitation for half a second, he immediately locked the direction in which the prey was fleeing, and quickly chased after him.

Looking at Bunny who was dodging in the opposite direction from himself and others, Tomorrow was startled, and before he had time to ask Bunny what he planned to do, he heard Bunny's roar.

"Go to the elevator! Leave me alone!"

Walker said in surprise.

"F*ck? What do you want to do, Bunny?"

"What to do something big!"

Gale's right hand, Tomorrow's bow, and the sniper that Walker captured from the mercenaries in Boulder City—although the exoskeleton on his body is not cheap, but without the exoskeleton, he can still rely on the talent output of the strength department, But they can't.

Bunny never thought that he could hold on to his life until the end, how could MT never die? Since he stood in the front row, he was ready to give his life to his teammates.

"Speaking of which, I haven't died once in this game."

I don't know what it's like to die in a game.

According to those people on the forum, it seems to be a matter of closing and opening eyes——

"Roar--!"

The roar coming from behind made Bunny dare not be distracted, and all his attention was focused on the running road.

But helplessly, the movement of Deathclaw is too flexible!

If he is like a rabbit burrowing into the woods, that guy is like a rampaging Gundam, ordinary vegetation can't stop it at all.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and before Bunny could react, there was a muffled sound from his back, which made him stagger forward with his body and exoskeleton, and almost fell to the ground.

That tooth-piercing fricative sound made his heart rise to his throat. Fortunately, the adaptive gait of the exoskeleton allowed him to stabilize his body without falling down.

Feeling Gale leaking from behind, Bunny's head didn't dare to turn back, and continued to run forward with all his strength.

The claw directly pierced through three slits on the steel plate behind him!

Thanks to the steel plate blocking it! Otherwise, at that moment just now, he might be offline by now!

Seeing that Bunny could not be supported any longer, Tomorrow gritted his teeth, raised the mechanical compound bow in his hand, buckled the bowstring to charge, and shot an arrow at the light source on the ceiling.

The front end of the arrow pierced hard into the ceiling, the firing pin was triggered, and the charge exploded!

Clatter——

Transparent polymer fragments and electric sparks fell from the ceiling together, and the light in the ecological park dimmed for a moment.

The light in the rainforest is dimmer.

Deathclaw, who was rushing forward, obviously paused, and the amber pupils shrank into a slit, and quickly adapted to the suddenly darkening environment while focusing.

Although it was only a momentary pause, it was enough to buy time for Bunny, allowing him to break through the edge of the rainforest and rush to the front of the group of predators, directly hitting the unlucky guy closest to him with his shoulder.

Facing this humanoid "Tank" that suddenly rushed out of the forest, the surrounding predators screamed and raised their guns.

"Stop him!"

Flames spurted from the muzzle of the gun, and the bullets flew like raindrops. The unlucky guy who was hit by Bunny was the first among them and was beaten into a sieve by his teammates.

Immediately afterwards, the bullet rushed towards Bunny.

Under the extreme distance, the steel plate that had suffered excessive damage was pitted, the welding joint was broken, and it collapsed from the exoskeleton.

However--

It doesn't matter anymore.

Hearing the sound of running behind him getting closer and closer, Bunny, who had finally dropped a stone from his chest, pulled out the hatchet hanging from his waist, and the corner of his blood-oozing mouth curved slightly.

Bring it on. Fight a great battle, today!

"Limit--breakthrough!"

On the other side of the jungle—

"We have to save him!"

Tomorrow grabbed Walker, stared at him and shook his head.

"It's too late."

Gale also looked at Walker and said calmly.

"Staying here will only make Bunny's efforts in vain... let's go."

Hearing the gunshots, there were at least a dozen or twenty people, and there were many automatic weapons. If there were bunkers around to pull, they could still fight.

In this kind of plain rainforest terrain, even a reliable bunker can't be found, and the advantage is undoubtedly on the side with more people.

It just so happens that Bunny is also level 10, and has been reluctant to update his equipment. After that, everyone pooled their money and bought him a brand new Miner I.

The three rushed into the elevator, Tomorrow punched the up button.

The elevator slowly ascended.

The figure of Bunny was no longer seen at the entrance of the passage, but the Deathclaw that were in close contact with the predators were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, and there was a bloody storm where the sharp claws swung.

Those predators don't seem to be weak, though.

Walker, who was standing in front of the window, saw a predator standing near the safe passage, carrying a tube-shaped launcher, and pulled the trigger on the Deathclaw.

Three rockets blasted out from three different angles at the same time, and the orange tail flames drew three straight and interlaced trajectories in the air.

Two of the shots went sideways, scraping Deathclaw's tail into the bushes, while the other managed to hit Deathclaw's left shoulder, ripping him open with flames and fragments.

"Roar--!"

With a painful roar, Deathclaw staggered and turned around, and ran into the woods. At the same time, the fire system on the top of the ecological park was triggered, and it began to rain in the rainforest.

The predators didn't dare to pursue them, they grabbed their companions who were lying on the ground and were still breathing. While firing into the dimly lit jungle, they retreated in the direction of the safe passage.

Staring at the flames outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, Walker couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Monster……"

Carry the next bobbin with the flesh! It's outrageous!

At this moment, the leader of the predators who had already retreated to the entrance of the safe passage suddenly raised his head, squinting his eyes and saw the ascending elevator.

Even in the dim light, he still saw the three people in the elevator.

He yelled at his companion in the back row, and while directing his teammates to run outside, the man shot a shuttle towards the elevator.

The whizzing bullets crashed into the elevator's floor-to-ceiling windows, startling Walker who was standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The elevator was strong enough, the bullets only left a series of cobweb-like fine lines on the floor-to-ceiling windows, and did not penetrate.

The elevator arrives.

Before the door was fully opened, the three of them immediately got out of the elevator, ran north along the corridor, circled a big circle, and left the enclosure wall from the back of Building No. 3.

And only then did they realize that there were more than forty or fifty people standing at the main entrance of Building No. 3!

In the open space not far away, there were two unloading trucks parked. Several predators led the mutant hyenas and rushed into the building to support their accomplices on the front line.

The three climbed over the half-collapsed wall, stuck to the wall of the experimental base, walked around to the west side of Building No. 3, and observed from a distance of about 500 meters.

Tomorrow: "F*ck, I'm afraid we can't go out."

Walker couldn't help cursing and said, "Damn it, where did these bastard predators come from? They're also here to grab fuel rods?!"

"I thought so too at first, but it's hard to say now." Hiding behind the broken concrete wall, Tomorrow frowned, biting his thumb and said for a moment, "They obviously plan to camp here... Looking at those two trucks, do they look familiar?"

Walker squinted his eyes and was startled.

"The same style as the Legion? What the hell? Are they from the Legion?!"

"Bone Chew gang," Gale that hadn't spoken all this time suddenly popped out a word, "Do you still remember what was mentioned in the update of version alpha 0.9... Due to the defeat of the legion, a huge force of predators is in the middle of the valley province the region is rising. Looking at it now, they should have taken over part of the legion's equipment."

A group of predators came to Starwood Farm before, the leader seems to be called Lex, and now he is building roads with the ten chiefs and accepting the transformation of labor. And the weapons they use, and even the coats they wear, are the same as those of the Legion.

Even those scavengers can get legion equipment...

Presumably, these organized predators can only get more weapons from the legion.

The expressions on the faces of Walker and Tomorrow also became serious.

Tomorrow immediately made a judgment.

"We need to report the situation here to Master Manager as soon as possible!"

"Well," Gale nodded, "I think so too."

Bunny should be offline by now.

After going back, go offline and go to the official website to accompany him.

...

To be honest, Bunny also felt that he must be dead after rushing into the predator's face. After all, the exoskeleton is not a power armor, and it is still the basic model of KV-1. Although the steel plate can be bulletproof, it cannot withstand the metal fatigue caused by continuous shooting and the salvo from multiple angles.

The kind of "Rogue warrior" in the battlefield can only appear in the battlefield.

After chopping down three predators in a row and injuring four or five, he finally collapsed after being hit twice in the stomach.

However, to Bunny's surprise, when he put on the helmet again, he found that his character was not dead?

Bunny looked around and found himself lying in a room.

This is no longer an underground ecological park, it should be a room in the Building No. 3 laboratory on the surface.

His wounds were briefly bandaged, his VM and equipment were taken away, and his wrists and ankles were handcuffed, restricting his movements.

Bunny tried it, but found that he couldn't break free. Seeing that the blood on the bandage was showing signs of expanding, he quickly stopped his reckless actions.

While he was ready to die heroically, he wanted to figure out what was going on with him before he did.

At this time, the door of the room opened.

A man with tanned skin and tattooed face came in from the door.

Bunny sized him up. This man was wearing a very torn fur coat, with holes in his trousers, and a bunch of weird trinkets hanging around his neck. There were teeth and stones, and he looked like a punk.

Behind him was a strong man with lip studs, who should be a bodyguard. If he replaced the iron-pipe submachine gun wrapped in duct tape with a guitar or bass, he might be mistaken for a heavy metal band when walking on the street...

The man with the tattoo on his face walked up to him, and when Bunny was thinking about what this guy wanted to do, he saw the man suddenly squatting down, his eyes fixed on him, the eagle-like nose moved closer, almost poke him in the face.

Bunny felt a chill in his heart.

F*ck. No way?

Although the residents of the shelter are indeed a little thin-skinned and tender, they are not even...

"Are you survivors from Spring City?"

Bunny didn't understand what he was saying, and didn't want to know, so he put on an expression that he would rather die than surrender.

The man seemed to understand the expression on his face, smiled mockingly, and stood up.

"My name is Ka."

"You are strong, brave, and also rich."

"A warrior like you should have the status and wealth worthy of you, instead of being useless and turning into alien feces."

"Do you want to join us and enjoy all the glory and wealth, or become a lowly slave and be sold to work in the mines until you die."

"I'll give you time to think about it."

After leaving these words, the man turned and left.

Until the end, Bunny didn't understand what he wanted to express, only heard a series of chirping birdsong.

Facing the empty room, Bunny fell silent.

By the way...

What is my current state? Hostage? Captive?

F*ck!

Should I kill myself or not?

...

Shelter 404, B3 Floor.

Standing in the planting area, Lucius looked at the green spots the size of bean sprouts in the soilless planting unit, with an old father's smile on his face.

The cabbage germinates very quickly, and the seedlings have emerged in only three days after planting.

The leek next to it will have to wait for a while, and it will take about a week to germinate.

These leafy vegetables are all crops used to improve food, and the real good things are in the rows of planting units next to them.

By the beginning of next spring, crops such as corn, rice, wheat and sorghum planted there will just mature. He intends to save all the first batch of output as seeds.

Not just greenhouse ruins.

Lucius planned to use all the land from the north of Lonia Lake to the south of Tuna District.

As long as there are enough refugees on a land that is ten kilometers long and wide, it will be no problem to reclaim tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. If the situation is optimistic, maybe 2000 acres will be raised in the first year.

If the efficiency is not enough, the quantity must be used to make up.

No matter how efficient the theoretical planting area of ​​1 acre in the shelter is, it cannot even support a thousand people. No matter how low the efficiency of traditional farming is, even if he reduces the player's food supply a little bit, but still, that is the ration of tens of thousands of people.

Compared with any training cabin, food is the foundation of explosive soldiers.

You can't really feed the players carrion and cockroaches, right?

This is too hardcore.

Just as Lucius was admiring his cabbage, Popo's voice suddenly came from the speakers in the planting area.

"Master."

Lucius replied casually.

"What's wrong?"

"Your player seems to be in trouble!"

"If they encounter it, so they encounter it, this way they will learn their lesson. Don't worry, my players are very smart, and they will solve the troubles they encounter by themselves."

Hearing Popo's voice, Lucius didn't panic at all, and even comforted it.

After unlocking the B3 floor, there are more and more players in the shelter, and Lucius has gradually lost his care for so many people.

In the past, there were fewer people and more work, and it took a long time to feel distressed if one died. Now there is a lack of food, electricity, mines, and production capacity, but there is no shortage of people and resurrection coins.

He only needs to formulate the rules and let the players toss around within the rules. He can't handle the troubles of one or two players and doesn't bother to deal with them.

How can there be any reason for a bully to serve his son for the rest of his life?

The fun of this game lies in exploration. Players are asked to find ways to improve NPC favorability and trigger hidden tasks.

Popo: "But, but, the one who is in trouble is the cowboy you sent to the Northeast Ecological Park to look for fuel rods... Really don't worry about them?"

"Cough cough—what the hell?! The cowboy team?"

Lucius, who was choked, coughed twice, and quickly opened the system interface, only to find that the clones were still alive.

Only Bunny was disconnected, but his life was not in danger.

Relieved, Lucius continued to ask.

"What trouble did they have?"

Although I don't want to worry about the troubles of the players, the problem is that the cowboy team is doing the task of fuel rods.

Even if he didn't want to care about the players, Lucius still had to care about his fuel rods.

Popo continued.

"The player named Badass Bunny seems to have been captured by the predators, and the other three just escaped from the siege of predators and are now on the return truck."

Bunny was captured by the predators???

Lucius was a little confused.

Wait, what's up with the Predator?

"Didn't they go to find the fuel rods? How did they get entangled with the predators?"

Popo continued in a low voice.

"That's true, but when they were looking for the fuel rod in the ecological laboratory of Aviatium Aerospace, they encountered a group of predators with an unknown number of more than 50 people, and it seems that they also encountered a Deathclaw. Specifically, the situation is very complicated, Master, why don't you go to the official website and look for yourself."

There was a problem with a key project, Lucius didn't hesitate, and immediately rushed back to the B1 floor without saying a word, and returned to his office.

The computer turns on. Log in to the official website. Without much effort, Lucius quickly found Bunny's post on the homepage of the forum.

The title of the post is also straight to the point, summarizing his current situation in one sentence——

"I seem to be captured by predators?? "

In the post. At the beginning, Bunny briefly described the tasks he and his three teammates did in the eco-lab, as well as a series of things that happened.

Including the tropical rainforest in the ecological park, including the sudden Deathclaw, the predators who suddenly entered later, and myself in order to cover the retreat of my teammates. Unfortunately, I was seriously injured and was captured by those predators...

"These predators are a bit different from what we have encountered before. Although their equipment is uneven, it is not as broken as it seems on the surface. Not only automatic weapons, but even anti-armor weapons such as rocket launchers. I saw that one of them looks like the Iron, their power is not small."

"The other one is Deathclaw. One thing to say, this monster is too stupid to break the balance! The big lizard that is taller than two people is outrageous, and it runs so fast that it can scratch its claws. In the past, no steel plate could stop it!"

"We also suffered eight lifetimes of bloody misfortune, and we happened to be caught in the middle of that beast and predators! I spent a lot of effort and scrapped the exoskeleton, and finally led the Deathclaw to the predators."

"Then it was a melee. I found that the talents unlocked in the second stage are really awesome, and the actual combat effect is even better than the panel data. It's hard to describe the details. You will know when you reach LV10. "

Not long after the post was posted, there were hundreds of replies.

However, since the players are basically online at this point, most of the posts are cloud players who have ordered an appointment but have not made an appointment.

Although these players have never entered the game, they still have a certain understanding of the basic gameplay and settings of the game after listening to the discussions in the forum and combined with the centralized update of the official website settings.

And many new players are selected from among them.

The Thunder King: "Captured by predators???"

Only Ganna Can't do It: "I'm not right, why a few R-18 plots suddenly appeared in my head?"

Riding a Donkey To The Market: "F*ck, you old bastards!"

Badass Bunny: "Get out! I'm serious, what are you thinking? (⁠ノ⁠`⁠Д⁠´⁠)⁠ノ⁠彡⁠┻⁠━⁠┻"

④Who Understands: "Speaking of which, after listening to your description of that Deathclaw, I feel the same as that Mr. Garbage..."

Badass Bunny: "Damn, I feel a bit like you when you say that. Will we wait for the trash brother to reach level 99 and directly transfer to Deathclaw?"

Irena: "It's a pity that Mr. Garbage went crazy in the tunnel. Otherwise, at this point, we might meet him on the forum. (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)"

Badass Bunny: "Huh? Why aren't you online?"

Irena: "Hey, it's inconvenient to go into details, just slip away, I'll come later."

Badass Bunny: "666"

Richest Elf King: "If you don't understand, just ask, why do you make flying so mysterious? If I didn't read your past comments, I thought you would reward yourself later. ಡ⁠ ͜⁠ ⁠ʖ⁠ ⁠ಡ"

Irena: "Go away. (`Д′*)9"

At this moment.

Suddenly someone popped out a word.

The Thunder King: "Speaking of which, if this kind of elite monster is killed first, will there be a chance to broadcast it on the whole server?"

The post was quiet for a few seconds. Suddenly several submarines exploded.

"F*ck!"

"What the hell?"
