This Game Is Too Realistic

Chapter 245.1: The Graveyard of Civilization

As expected by Chu Guang.

After finishing the first day of the trip, his players immediately brought first-hand information to the official website after going offline.

Escaping Mole: Guys, I’m back! Whew! It’s so damn difficult to get to Red River Town, I think I’m going to wear out my shoes! (Exhausted)

Makka Pakka: Just cut the crap. Who cares about your shoes, are you there yet?

Quit Smoking: Tell us about the new map?

Tail: Hurry up!

Escaping Mole: Geez, calm down, everyone. How can it be that fast? It’s a journey that’s nearly 100 kilometers long! Not to mention the trouble on the road. According to the head of the caravan escort, this trip would take at least a week. OMG, can you imagine not being able to save the progress for a week? I’m so nervous right now.

Quit Bullshit: What the heck, why are you talking so much nonsense?

Quit Smoking: Stop showing off! If you don’t want to go, just come back. I’ll go! (Crazy)

There were more and more people appearing in the post, and all of them were urging the mole to stop talking nonsense and get directly to the point.

Seeing this, Brother Mole didn’t dare to talk nonsense anymore and hurriedly got to the point.

Escaping Mole: Ahem, alright, alright, let’s get to the main point! Our journey to the east was full of troubles. In the beginning, we could still take provincial roads, but later it was all curvy country roads; the road conditions there were so terrible that it was really hard to describe. Especially in some dangerous places, even the caravan guards who had installed mechanical prosthetics dared not approach, so we could only take detours.

- In addition to the fact that the snow has not completely melted, we weren’t moving very fast, and we only managed to walk one-third of the journey all day. I heard from the head guard who was equipped with robotic arms and electronic eyes that if we got lucky, we should be able to arrive there at noon on the third day. But if we were unlucky, we would probably get there on the fourth day!

The year before, it only took two days for the slave merchant from Red River Town to rush to the northern suburbs of Clearspring City to collect slaves just right before the early winter arrived.

But another businessman took five full days to come from there in order to bypass the areas with the marauder’s activities.

That showed how complicated the road conditions there were.

Construction Boy: You understand them? (Surprised)

Escaping Mole: Are you stupid? There is our guard with me. His name is Lu Bei. Anyway, if there’s anything I don’t understand, I’ll just ask him. And my VM has unlocked the subtitle function during the mission, but this function would only work intermittently, so don’t expect it to be useful all the time. Anyway, I’ve tested it, and it basically only works when I am camping or stopping to rest. Even so, some subtitles are still very strange. You have to combine your own understanding and experience to interpret the meaning. ?Á????S

Elf Wang: That’s awesome, brother!

Escaping Mole: Save the praise for later. Let me continue. This journey was quite exciting. Although according to the guard leader, we took a relatively safe road, we still encountered three waves of mutants on the road. The first wave was when we were passing through the forest. At that time, we were targeted by a group of very hungry hyenas, but it was not a big problem. We quickly killed the 5 rushing in the front, scaring the rest away.

- The second wave was even more exciting. An ugly creature with a lot of legs that would challenge one’s sanity suddenly came out from the side of the road, which startled me. I have never seen that kind of monster in the northern suburbs. Only after asking about it did I know that it’s called Multi-legged Beast, a kind of mutant that lives in a dark and humid environment. Its level of danger is between Creeper and Tyrant, and it has great speed and strength. But just by looking at the appearance, it is impossible to tell what it mutated from...

Kakarot: In addition to the new map, there are new monsters?!?!

Quit Smoking: Brilliant! What about the third wave?

Escaping Mole: Monster! Wastelanders call it that. It was written on the official website as well, but there has never been a picture of it. The creature is bigger than a bear, with a hunched back. Its head is almost buried in its shoulders, and its teeth stick out of its lips. Its pale and almost hairless rotten skin looks badly decomposed as if it had been soaked in water for a long time, and it can roar like thunder!

- It really lives up to its name. It looks like a monster, and it is ridiculously strong. With a wave of its hand, it can break a tree! In terms of strength, I am afraid that it can even beat the Deathclaw! But its weakness is also obvious. It’s slow, and it’s nowhere near as agile as a Deathclaw.

- As soon as the caravan guards saw it, they fired at it with their guns immediately, but after emptying the entire magazine, it didn’t do any damage to it at all! I suspect that its recovery ability is stronger than that of the mutant human, which completely subverts my understanding of the strength of those organisms. It wasn’t until later that a guard took out a steel tube-shaped bazooka and shot it in the chest before taking the beast out.

Quit Smoking: Fantastic!

Construction Boy: Sigh, I’m so envious!

Darkest: It’s not fair! So not fair! (Losing mind)

Not only did he get early access to the new map, he also got to see new monsters!

How was that reasonable?!

Battlefield Cheerleader: God damn it! You made me want to go as well! Can I go just by myself?

Spring Water Commander: Theoretically, you can. There is no map boundary in this game anyway, but the problem is that there is no save point and no mission to do. It’s definitely not worth it to go alone, and you definitely won’t be able to go far without equipment. (Smug Face)

Night Ten: +1. As far as I remember, five days ago, after seeing the snow outside the outpost begin to melt, a silly player wanted to find Boulder Town by himself before the new version was launched. But he died when he reached the fourth ring. Not only did he lose all his equipment, but he also had to buy a new VM. ( ?° ?? ?°)

Battlefield Cheerleader: Uh, in that case, forget it.

Irene: Welp. The road condition in the city was simply horrible. Who would’ve thought that a Crackleclaw Crab would be lying in a puddle of water? That asshole can also camouflage, carrying a big lump of garbage on its back, making it look like a pile of discarded waste when lying there. Without a perception type player, it’s really hard to detect it. ( ?° ?? ?°)

Elf Wang: Holy shit, Elaina, tell me the truth, are you the silly player who died?

Irene: What do you think? (Roll Eyes)

Escaping Mole: Speaking of which, where’s Ample Time? Did anyone see him?

Night Ten: I don’t know. I guess he’s probably still writing the post at the moment. This guy always likes to take his time.

Almost less than a minute after Night Ten’s post was posted, Ample Time’s ID popped up on the forum.

[Boulder Town Tour Day 1: Ruins, Death, and Dystopian Culture]

- The distance is just a mere number on paper, but it’s a heavenly barrier beneath our feet. We are only 20 kilometers away from Boulder Town in a straight line on the map, and if we only advanced 1 meter per second, it would only be a 5 hours journey. However, when we crossed the edge of the fifth ring into this cemetery where civilization was buried, we only discovered that every second here feels like forever.

- Thousands of tall buildings soar into the clouds and into the unfathomable abyss. Those tombstones have stood for 2 centuries, and are very likely to continue to stand for 2 more. With vigilance and caution, we passed through broken alleys full of damaged pavement and dilapidated billboards describing the prosperity of the pre-war era.

- The caravan guards told us that it was a paradise of chaos and death. We not only needed to be careful of mutants, but also to be wary of marauders lurking in high-rise buildings. They don’t need very advanced technology, a stone thrown from the 20th floor is enough to smash our heads open, and even some smart mutants have learned this trick. In addition, there are mines buried in the ruins, remote control bombs, and even gunners hidden in some dark corners.

- We had to choose our route carefully, especially after entering the fifth ring. It would be hard for one to see the sunlight the next day if they don’t keep their eyes open here...

There were 5 or 6 paragraphs in the preface alone, and even more in the main content.

Ample Time described in detail in the post how he felt after entering ?Clearspring City.

Before discovering Shelter 404, Chu Guang had been there several times, but he didn’t go deep enough, so he could understand the shock in Ample Time’s heart at this moment.

If the urban area of ??the northern suburbs was like Los Santos, then the urban area of ??Clearspring City was Night City loaded with wasteland mods and bugfixes.

"If this post wasn’t exaggerated, the situation in the fifth ring would be more complicated than I expected."

"But the good news is that the marauders who are active in that area have not formed a unified organization. The largest group there has no more than ten people... It basically matches the information from Boss Xia." Stroking his chin, Chu Guang thought for a moment.

"It seems that trading in the wasteland is indeed not something that anyone can do."

Due to the fact that it was still within the signal range, Brother Ample Time also took a few pictures, some of which were reviewed and synced to the post by him.

The reviewer was Little Seven.

By following the R12 rating standard, if there was no element of gore and violence, a filter with a perspective similar to the player would be added before the photos were synchronized to the official website.

Looking at the post in front of him, Chu Guang, who was sitting in front of the computer browsing the threads, was full of surprise.

My goodness.

For him to name it Day 1…

It seems like it’s going to be a live post
