This Game Is Too Realistic

When Chu Guang and his party arrived at the Third Ecological Protection Park in Qingquan City, the fire caused by the previous air raid had gradually been extinguished.

However, the smell of barbecue that filled the air would not go away for a long time.

Ten KV-1 exoskeletons of the Jungle Corps are standing at the entrance of the building.

Seeing the blue power armor coming from a distance, Midnight Killer immediately rushed towards it, put his right fist on his chest and performed a military salute.

"Dear Administrator! The predators in the area have been eliminated, and the Third Ecological Protection Park is under your control!"

Brother Killer's expression was one of loyalty.

Players with a strong sense of substitution will occasionally do this. Of course, some players do it for favorability and hidden tasks.

"You did a good job." Chu Guang fulfilled his character, looked at them and nodded approvingly.

At the same time, a pop-up window reminding the mission to be completed was displayed on the VM of Midnight Killer and his teammates behind him.

[Mission: Raid the Third Ecological Protection Park of Qingquan City (Completed)]

[Reward: See the campaign settlement list for details]

Seeing the task rewards displayed in the VM, everyone had expressions of surprise on their faces.

The per capita income is 500+ silver coins!

Such a high return can be said to be earned with blood.

Sure enough, I will have to brush up on the level of the scientific expedition team in the future.

The mission was completed, and Midnight Killer left happily with his team members. The enemy units here have been cleared, so there is no need to leave both regiments here to stand guard.

Chu Guang led Yin Fang and He Ya forward, walked through the tree-covered streets, and walked into the vine-tangled ecological protection park in front of them.

"Do all zoos in the People's Federation era look like this?" Chu Guang took a look at the fully enclosed dome in front of him. He always felt that it was more like a gymnasium than a zoo.

Heya looked around curiously, but she was more interested in the wasteland vegetation in this area.

This was completely different from what she saw in the VR device, and even slightly different from the steep pine and cypress trees in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City.

As if from another world.

"It is said that all the things for tourists in the city look like this, but the large ecological reserves outside the city have another look. After the war broke out, all the animals here ran away. The monkeys active in this area probably left here. of."

Chu Guang glanced at her in surprise.

"Monkeys before the war also had scales on their backs?"

Heya said: "Gene mutation + natural selection, maybe monkeys with scales on their backs can survive here more easily. As for how the scales come from, only they themselves know."

At this time, Yin Fang, who had been staring at the tablet without speaking, suddenly raised his head and said something.

"found it."

Chu Guang looked at Yin Fang.

"What did you find?"

Yin Fang continued with an interested expression on his face.

"I have just restored the information about this ecological protection park from a damaged court record... In 2113, twelve years before the war broke out, a major event happened in the Third Ecological Protection Park in Qingquan City The scandal, or rather the scandal, caused a sensation in the entire People’s Federation at that time.”

Chu Guang had a strange expression.

“What kind of scandal could there be in a zoo?”

"An unauthorized experiment involved the life and safety of 23,000 tourists. The 20 researchers and professors involved were fired from their academic institutions, and the relevant person in charge was prosecuted. The entire ecological protection park was almost Close the door..." Yin Fang said excitedly while browsing the newly restored data as his index finger slid on the tablet.

Chu Guang is not interested in trivial matters from two hundred years ago.

But when he heard about the experiment, he raised his eyebrows with interest.

"What is the content of the experiment?"

"It has something to do with the colony of the People's Federation and the resonance field theory." Yin Fang turned off the tablet and looked forward excitedly. "It's been more than two hundred years, not to mention it was before the war. It can be restored from public information. There are only so many clues, but we’ll figure it out soon.”

The entrance to Vault 401 is in the basement of the Ecological Protection Park, and players have marked the location of the entrance with VM.

As for the control room of the psychic interference field, it is on the third floor of the Ecological Protection Park.

After entering the dome-shaped building, the group of people split up.

Yin Fang went to the entrance of Shelter 401, and Chu Guang issued a mission to ask Kuang Feng to follow him and be responsible for his safety. In addition, Chu Guang also equipped Yin Fang with a Hummingbird drone and asked Xiao Qi to support him within his ability.

As for Chu Guang himself, he took Heya straight to the third floor.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the door, before they entered, they heard the sounds of quarrels and curses coming from inside.

"You beast! This punch is for my compatriots who died for me!"

"That's enough, calm down... I'm a victim too, you can't blame me for all the people killed by those predators, can you?!"

"Haha, victim? I'm tui!"

In the control room.

Two old men over fifty were fighting each other, swearing in unintelligible slang.

The old man with a relatively strong body and wearing a blue coat was probably at fault. He had been passively defending and glanced at the players standing nearby nervously from time to time, as if he was worried that they would take action.

The other old man in tattered clothes and punching hard, although he was very aggressive, was covered in disease and had no strength in his fists and feet. He did not see any bruises or swelling on his opponent's nose and face even after punching wildly. Instead, he was out of breath.

As for the players?

Of course, I stood aside and watched the show.

You don't even understand what they are saying so how can you interfere.

The wind had gone out earlier, and Fang Chang is the best player here. However, the so-called good is only compared to other players. The parallel analogy is the level of "junior high school English" versus "bulk English".

Tomato Scrambled Egg looked at his teammates with a subtle expression.

"How about we pull them apart."

Lao Bai looked at Fang Chang.

The latter thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Don't act rashly, what if it triggers the plot?"

Quit smoking and nodded suddenly.

"That makes sense!"

Then let them continue fighting.

Anyway, the two old men have little fighting ability, and they are not afraid of causing trouble.

At this moment, the door to the control room opened. Seeing the power armor appearing at the door, the eyes of several players in the room suddenly lit up.

coming!

The plot really started!

"stop!"

A loud voice came from the door, causing the two old men who were fighting with each other to involuntarily stop their hands and look at the blue power armor.

Among them, the old man with thinning hair and ragged clothes clearly recognized the equipment Chu Guang was wearing. There was a hint of excitement and even tears in his cloudy pupils.

"Mr. Seven...is that you?"

Severn?

Is this old man from Vault 117?

Chu Guang's expression was subtle, and he tapped his index finger twice on the side of the helmet to unlock the mask.

When he saw the young face under the helmet, the old man was stunned on the spot.

"...I am the manager of Vault 404 and the manager of the New Alliance. You can call me Chu Guang. As for the Severn Willard you mentioned, he passed away many years ago."

The old man's expression dimmed and he lowered his eyebrows slightly.

"He passed away... too, it's been so many years."

The old man in a blue coat next to him gasped and muttered something under his breath.

"The new alliance? That post-war reconstruction committee? Didn't it become obsolete more than a century ago?"

At this time, Heya suddenly got in from behind Chu Guang, stared at the old man in ragged clothes, and suddenly exclaimed in shock.

"Zhao Yuan?!"

The old man looked at Heya and was stunned for a moment.

"Are you... Heya?"

Unexpectedly, he would see fellow villagers from the same shelter twenty years later. Heya nodded excitedly.

"It's me! Why...have you become like this?"

"Natural aging...I was no longer young twenty years ago, let alone now," the old man's eyes were a little evasive, as if he was a little guilty.

Chu Guang glanced at Heya, who rarely showed excitement.

He originally thought that she would hate these traitors who destroyed her home, but he did not expect that she would be unexpectedly open-minded after meeting her compatriots.

"Are you familiar?"

"Um!"

Her long white hair swayed slightly. Heya nodded vigorously and said excitedly, "He and my master are both experts in the study of bionic organs. I didn't expect that everyone is still alive... By the way."

Heya looked at the old man and asked expectantly.

"Where's Karen? Isn't my master with you?"

"She went to the south...many people followed that guy named Wang Yi," the old man named Zhao Yuan said to himself in a low voice with anger and regret in his eyes, "None of those wastelanders are good. Things should be left to fend for themselves! I should have recognized this a long time ago!"

Chu Guang stared at the old man for a while.

"Are you from the Torch Church?"

"Torch Church? Do you mean the Torch?" The old man was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and said softly, "I did join the Torch more than 20 years ago... This is also the thing I regret most in my life."

It seemed that the torch had not developed into a religion at that time, and the old man did not know where the companions who had parted ways with him had gone or what they had done.

Chu Guang nodded thoughtfully.

The person standing in front of him was probably one of the several "rebels" at the beginning of the Torch's founding, and it was their actions that led to the destruction of Vault 117.

Judging from the old man's tattered clothes and weathered face, he has suffered a lot in the past twenty years.

Chu Guang looked at the other old man and looked at the blue coat he was wearing.

"What about you? Are you also a survivor of Vault 117?"

Before the old man could speak, Zhao Yuan stared at him and said angrily.

"He is not from Shelter 117, he is just a dog, the dog raised by those bandits!"

"Sun Zewen, from Vault 401," ignoring the scolding old man, the old man in a blue coat cleared his throat and said politely, "Dear administrator of Vault 404, and the master of the new alliance... …Thank you for lending a helping hand to us in times of crisis.”

Scoffing this man's pretentiousness, Zhao Yuan said with a sneer.

"Mr. Chu Guang, please don't listen to his sweet words. He is clearly an accomplice of those plunderers! According to the laws of the People's Federation, he should be sentenced to at least three hundred years in prison for crimes against humanity, and he should not be allowed to freeze into hibernation."

As if being stimulated by a certain word in this sentence, Sun Zewen, who was polite a second ago, suddenly glared at the old man next to him with anger.

"I just want to survive. What's wrong with me?! Who let those outsiders in? Is it me? And I refuse to admit your accusation. I did nothing but help them tame a group of monkeys." did not do."

"You didn't do anything?" Zhao Yuan gave him a look of disdain, "Including the girl they rewarded you with? You two are hundreds of years apart. It's a shame you were able to do it."

Sun Zewen's old face turned red, red and purple, and he couldn't hold it in any longer. He held it in for a long time and choked out.

"I... I couldn't help it! If I didn't accept it, have you ever thought about what would happen to her? And how many hundreds of years old... you can't include the time I spent sleeping."

Chu Guang listened to the quarrel between the two with great interest, and roughly restored the original appearance of the matter. At this moment, he noticed the miserable corpse in the corner, looked at the players and asked.

"Who is that person?"

Junk Jun, wagging his tail, took a step forward excitedly.

"I did it!"

"He's Tooth!"

Although he didn't understand what Chu Guang said just now, Zhao Yuan probably guessed that the manager was probably asking about the identity of the deceased, so he continued.

"He is the bandit leader here. He has countless lives on his hands. It can be said that he has committed a heinous crime and deserves to die! Please don't blame your soldiers."

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"I certainly don't blame them. In the territory of the New Alliance, our attitude towards predators has always been zero tolerance."

Hearing these words, the old man named Sun Zewen's shoulders trembled.

"Sir, I——"

Chu Guang looked at him.

"I believe you can't help yourself. The laws of the new alliance will not be retroactive. I don't care what you have done before. From the moment I stand here, I hope you can do something useful to society and civilization again." people."

Now is the Wasteland Era, an era that is even more chaotic than the Troubled Times. Humanity has even fallen to the top of the food chain. At this time, it is meaningless to look back on the past.

Besides, there are no truly good people in this wasteland.

Including Zhao Yuan himself.

Chu Guang didn't think those torches were a good thing, but he also didn't want to pursue what happened in other shelters.

Sun Zewen lowered his head tremblingly and said.

"Thank you for your kindness."

Zhao Yuan still had a trace of resentment on his face, but he didn't say anything else.

These people saved his life.

Having already said this, he would not force them anymore. He must understand and sympathize with the suffering he has experienced.

At this time, footsteps came from the corridor outside the door.

Yin Fang, who returned from Vault 401, held a tablet in his hand, opened the door like a gust of wind and walked in.

"It's amazing! You won't guess what I found!"

Before Chu Guang could ask what he had discovered, Yin Fang started shouting excitedly.

"Resonance Field!"

"I've been looking for something for half a year, but I didn't expect it to be here!"

Taking a deep breath, he looked at Chu Guang and said excitedly.

"We found a treasure!"

…

It all started more than two hundred years ago.

Two years before the scandal that nearly closed the zoo, around 2111, a letter from a distant colony and the samples it carried shocked the entire biology and sociology world.

The original letter can no longer be found, but as a professional archaeologist, Yin Fang was able to reconstruct the general meaning of the letter based on limited clues.

In short, the colony is infested by alien creatures, and frequent biological activities seriously threaten the safety of the colonists.

At first, the colonists used the "infrasonic fence" prepared for them by the home planet to drive away alien creatures. However, in long-term practice, they discovered that the seemingly harmless infrasonic fence would cause serious damage to the health of the colonists.

Due to the limited scientific research conditions in the colony, the colonists hope that the academic community on the home planet can lend a helping hand to help them develop a harmless shielding field to prevent alien creatures from harassing the colony.

After obtaining the consent of the relevant departments of the People's Federation, the colonists sent several samples of extraterrestrial organisms. This was the first time that the People's Federation home planet accepted biological specimens from the colonies.

Prior to this, if biologists from the People's Federation wanted to study life in extraterrestrial galaxies, they could only take an immigration flight that only occurred once a month and go there in person.

Since the People's Federation has just stepped into the star sea, it is not yet proficient in mastering the gravitational channel, and the development level of the exocolonies is low, so the flights to the colonies are basically one-way tickets, and it is difficult to go back once.

One can imagine how valuable these samples are.

The samples and help-seeking information from the colonies soon attracted widespread attention from all walks of life in the People's Federation, and the research on alternatives to "infrasonic fences" has become a hot topic nowadays, attracting the participation of countless scholars.

"Wait...exocolony?"

Listening to Yin Fang's narration, Chu Guang rubbed his eyebrows with his index finger and said with a slight headache, "I always thought that the territory of the People's Federation only reaches the Kuiper Belt."

Heya also looked confused.

She grew up in a shelter. Let alone extraterrestrial colonies, it was only a few months ago that she saw the sky.

Yin Fang said patiently.

"There is indeed no problem with this statement. After all, going to extrasolar colonies and going to Mars and lunar colonies are two completely different concepts... But this has nothing to do with us. No matter where they are, they are too far away from us. I don't understand Not much more than you.”

Yin Fang coughed slightly and corrected Chu Guang's skewed topic.

"Continuing with the topic just now... The dissection of alien life forms has opened the eyes of the academic community. Reliable evidence shows that these alien life forms have evolved a set of A unique hive social form. They will divide labor and cooperate like ants, each perform their own duties, selectively express their own genes according to the needs of the group, and even modify their own genes."

"Are you surprised? A group of aliens who haven't even invented the internal combustion engine have mastered the secret of evolution. If only I had been born in that era..."

There was a hint of envy in Yin Fang's eyes, and he looked at the tablet in his hand and continued.

"In short, based on these research results, the research team of Nantianmen University's Institute of Biology used the 'resonance theory' and made a bold conjecture that those alien life forms are controlled by a unified consciousness."

“In order to prove this conclusion, the leader of the research team found a medical company called Silver Hope, and used their resources to establish a connection with the Third Ecological Protection Park of Qingquan City, hoping to use the venue and animal research resonance here. "

Chu Guang: "...They succeeded?"

“It’s more than just a success, it’s simply too successful,” Yin Fang said in admiration. “They were inspired by those alien biological specimens, put forward the resonance theory based on the resonance theory, and designed a set of mind interference devices. ——It can output specific messages and amplify them exponentially in individuals.”

"This kind of message can be as specific as a sentence, or even a complex picture, or it can be a vague dream, or just a pure emotion. The higher the mind, the more specific the information it can accept, but the smaller the impact. The lower the mind, the less information it can accept, but the relative impact will be greater."

Chu Guang touched his chin.

"I see."

The monkey's mind is probably somewhere between that of a human and a hyena?

He has a certain amount of intelligence and can understand simple commands, but his intelligence is not high enough, so he will be affected by the mind interference device.

The psychic interference device designed by Vault 401 is quite similar to the device used by the Torch Church.

It's just that the latter probably improved it to a certain extent, turning the "AOE skill" into a point-to-point single-target skill.

"...This device is much more reliable than the infrasonic fence. It not only consumes less energy, has more application scenarios, and has fewer side effects, but also only affects specific living organisms, and the frequency is adjustable."

"As long as you continue to output fear to the surrounding alien creatures, they will consciously stay away from the colony. And when used in the field of agriculture and animal husbandry, it can also allow animals to reproduce faster."

"However, the company that sponsored them was obviously not satisfied with the results at hand. They quickly focused on customers, so the experiment continued, but the subjects changed from animals in the zoo to tourists."

"There are various signs that they have still succeeded. Although it is difficult for people with advanced minds to be directly affected by this device, under the constant stimulation of 'buy it', the sales of souvenirs in the Ecological Conservation Park have reached a record high, and many tourists He even paid for a set of smart wearable devices for a product worth less than a bottle of mineral water... This almost subverted the advertising industry."

Chu Guang stared at Yin Fang dumbfounded.

"Is this okay?"

"People in the Prosperous Era are all monsters...whether they are researchers or businessmen," Yin Fang expressed sincere emotion. "Of course, it is true that the company was eventually punished and went bankrupt. People who treat others as fools usually don't end up like this. Okay. All the people involved have been prosecuted, and it is said that the one who received the heaviest sentence has not yet finished his sentence."

Sun Zewen, who had been listening by the side, had a look of shame on his blushing face.

"do not talk……"

These data are stored in the deepest part of the Vault 401 server. He has never told anyone, and he doesn't know how this guy dug these things out.

Chu Guang looked at the guy in front of him in surprise.

"Were you sentenced too?"

Damn it.

Talent!

This was the first time he saw the old popsicle from the People's League era.

In response to Chu Guang's surprised look, Sun Zewen said with a wry smile.

"I'm just a small researcher... The main person responsible has indeed been sentenced to a heavy sentence, but it won't be settled on us."

Yin Fang looked at him with interest and said.

"You even got tickets to Vault 401."

Sun Zewen was silent for a moment and nodded.

"Yes, I don't deny that my ability to survive to this day is somewhat related to the research I am engaged in. After all, technology itself is innocent. It can enable compatriots in the colony to escape the intrusion of alien creatures. It's just a pity... This newly born New things, used by the wrong people in the wrong places."

"I agree with what you said. Technology itself is not right or wrong. What needs to be supervised is the people who use it." Chu Guang nodded approvingly, paused for a moment and then continued.

"Now, not only the distant world, but also the land under our feet is infested by alien species. The New Alliance needs your technology, and I hope you can use your technology to do something more meaningful."

With this thing, the prevention and control of alien species no longer has to rely on fences, and farmland, pastures and villages near settlements no longer have to worry about harassment by alien species.

But the technology is not without risks.

Once the frequency is adjusted to the range suitable for the human brain, it is equivalent to opening Pandora's box.

Although spiritual resonance has a limited impact on higher mental beings, continuous emotional input is still tantamount to brainwashing.

And the effect is indiscriminate.

Thinking that the Torch Church also mastered similar technologies, Chu Guang couldn't help but feel secretly vigilant.

He is a person with a bottom line.

But it’s hard to say whether others have it or not.

He must take over the legacy of Vault 401, not only to deal with alien species and waves, but also to develop countermeasures.

"Of course, respected Mr. Manager..." Sun Zewen lowered his eyebrows and bowed, "It is an honor for me to serve for the great new alliance."

To be honest, he didn't care at all.

The world has become like this, and the knowledge in his head can be used by anyone. At least the man in front of me looked much better than those predators.

Zhao Yuan, who was standing aside, said nothing during the whole process.

He looked at Sun Zewen, who decisively surrendered to his new master, and then at Chu Guang, who was wearing the former manager's equipment, and suddenly spoke.

"You said the same thing as that guy."

Chu Guang saw that he was talking to himself and looked at him curiously.

"Which person?"

"Wang Yi... the boy we rescued from the wasteland, we raised him, and because he split twice, maybe we shouldn't open the door that day." Regret flashed in the turbid pupils, and the old man lowered his head. head.

Chu Guang remembered this name.

This name was the beginning of the disintegration of Vault 117, and it was also the leader of the Torch Church more than ten years later - his followers called him "The Son".

Since coming into contact with the Pioneer, Chu Guang has been trying his best to collect information about the major forces in the wasteland and identify useful clues.

"I've been wanting to ask you just now, after you came out of Vault 117, did you stay here for a while?"

"Vault 401 extended an olive branch to us. Their psychic interference device can drive away alien species within a three-kilometer radius. We originally planned to establish a stronghold here, and then take over the old diehards from Vault 117 and use beautiful The new home slaps them in the face...but that Wang Yi, he thinks we should continue south to find the specimen of the alien life form."

Zhao Yuan's Adam's apple moved and he spoke in a heavy tone.

"We parted ways again... There were only three people left except me, and the rest followed Wang Yi to the south. I even suspect that they were all brainwashed by that resonance field and mind interference device."

"Don't slander others. The resonance field doesn't have this function." Sun Zewen, who had joined his new employer, was much tougher than before. He looked at the old man and sneered, "Haven't you ever found the reason in yourselves? For example, you are too easy to deceive. Already?"

Zhao Yuan was angry again.

"Who do you think is easy to cheat!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Chu Guang had a headache and planned to intervene to stop it.

However, at this moment, Heya suddenly whispered something.

"Karen...my master is still alive."

The anger in his pupils was gradually replaced by shame. The old man slowly lowered his head and spoke in silence for a long time.

"I have no idea……"

"But like you, she can live a long time under normal circumstances."

"If nothing else, she should still be there."
