I became the Martial Saint of the Wasteland

Go to the passage in the [0741] area.

This place has become a mess.

The walls on both sides were covered with black dirt left by withered plants.

There was a not too thick layer of humus accumulated on the ground.

It can be seen that the changes here should have appeared many years ago.

The scene in front of me could not happen overnight.

The heavy armor of the Forsaken trampled on the ground, leaving huge footprints.

There is almost no light in the passage, and the walls and ceilings in most places are the intertwined remains of withered plants.

Occasionally, a purifying lamp that flickers on and off can be seen flickering.

This situation is also very unreasonable.

The energy in the shelter has obviously not been completely exhausted, and there are still fluctuations in consumption.

But the lighting was not maintained.

Then it means that there is something inside it that continues to consume energy.

Rosen activated the low-light system, and the outlines of all objects in the darkness were clearly outlined.

The passage was very quiet, with only the sound of people walking past.

A bunch of spotlights shine forward, like golden lines outlined on black paper.

The focusing lens in the laser cannon glowed a chilling crimson.

The outside light seemed incompatible with everything in the passage.

"Stop."

"Be alert!"

Before walking fifty meters along the passage, Rosen raised his right arm.

All the war slaves following behind stopped immediately.

The battle helmet of the Abandoned Power Armor was slightly raised, and not far in front there was a root as thick as an adult's arm hanging on the ceiling.

The stem was entirely lavender, and its skin was not rough, but rather had a thin, translucent texture.

Through the automatic zoom of the sighting system, we can also see that there are things like blood vessels flowing and surging with unknown liquid inside.

In addition, there are clusters of white fibrous roots that look like downy hairs on the surface of the rhizome.

Under the direct sunlight, the rhizome reacted like a living creature, and the originally stretched ends gradually curled up.

It can be seen that this rhizome should be the mother parent of the mutant plants that previously extended to the [Gathering Area].

Because there are traces of fractures at the end of the rhizome that have not yet been healed.

It looks like an octopus with a severed arm.

With his previous experience, Rosen paused briefly to see the situation before issuing an attack order.

"Laser Strike on Unknown Roots."

"Lasts for 2 rounds."

He ordered over the communication channel.

The four slaves equipped with laser cannons behind the exoskeleton quickly took a few steps forward and came to his side.

Use the smart sight to aim at the front, middle and rear sections of the root in different areas.

After the preparations were completed, the energy accumulator was filled with light particles. After being restrained and focused by the lens, it turned into a fiery red stroke and shot towards the mutation roots.

"咻咻咻..."

Eight consecutive laser shots knocked all the roots within a hundred meters in front of the passage to pieces.

Then the fire-breathing war slave immediately stepped forward to burn it.

Those roots writhed a lot, but that was about it.

They did not show strong aggression like those plants in the [Gathering Area] before.

Rosen had no intention of stopping, so he quickly dealt with the thing and moved on.

Soon we came to the end of the passage.

The rhizomes located here had already retracted when attacked.

Judging from the shelter location map provided by Golden Ear.

【0741】The district is designed to accommodate a population of 300 to 400 people.

It is divided into dormant area, storage area, independent energy supply area and experimental area.

Among them, the dormant area and storage area occupy the largest area.

The seemingly important experimental area is actually located in a corner of the zone.

Outside the passage is a workshop used for the turnover of personnel and materials.

It is the intersection of all areas.

As a dormant shelter, there is not much space reserved for activities.

At this time, the turnover workshop was also in a mess.

The weird branches and leaves with suckers that we saw in the [Gathering Area] were entangled together, forming several huge plant spheres.

They hang from the ceiling like placentas, with roots intertwined like blood vessels behind them.

Small closed doors in every surrounding area were broken open.

It seems that the unknown plant has completely taken over this area.

"Spill oil."

"Prepare to throw plasma grenades."

As long as you are mentally prepared, these mutated plants are not too troublesome.

Take advantage of weapons and destroy or burn them in advance.

There is no need to rush in directly.

Rosen was prepared to spend hours here.

After receiving the order, the war slaves immediately took out several red fuel cans, pulled out the sealing plugs, and used brute force to splash the plant balls.

The air was suddenly filled with the pungent smell of volatile vinyl.

This made the mutated plants twist as if they were stimulated.

Especially the plant spheres were twisting and pulling away like snake masses, as if they were about to stretch out again.

Everyone wore gas masks and ignored the weird smell.

The smart filter element can dynamically display the remaining replacement time.

In the current environment, the anti-virus filter element of the war slaves can still last for more than ten hours.

Seeing that a new mutation was about to appear, the war slave who had poured oil on him returned to the entrance of the passage.

In the backhand, several plasma grenades were thrown in.

Several arcs of blue light shined.

The instantaneous temperature of plasma is very amazing and can reach nearly 10,000 degrees Celsius.

If it weren't for the short duration, it would be even better than a flamethrower.

The plasma ball instantly ignited the oil, and at the same time, like a big mouth, it fiercely swallowed part of the plant ball.

After receiving damage, the branches that were balled up would pull away faster.

It stretched out against the burning flames and turned into a dancing fire snake.

After the plasma disappears, the fuel does not burn as hot as a flamethrower.

So those branches still have room for twisting and lashing.

Rosen, who was well prepared, slowly led everyone back seven or eight meters into the passage.

The internal heat and the external ventilation system work together to cause hot airflow to surge inside the channel, which is also entrained with flying black ash.

The burning lasted for more than ten minutes, and Rosen and others did not dare to slack off.

It wasn't until the orange fire at the end of the passage gradually subsided that he returned with the people.

The previous huge plant balls were all burned to the ground.

This turned the entire turnover workshop into a carbon black color.

That's the color created by ash and burning.

And the flames have not been completely extinguished, they are like piles of bonfires burning in different locations.

The temperature in the workshop is not low and is within a tolerable range due to air circulation.

Rosen's goal for this trip is very clear, which is to give priority to finding an artificial ovary.

Even if you can't get it intact, you still have to take out the remains of the relevant equipment.

So he planned to go straight to the experimental area.

Next is the warehousing area.

Finally, there is the energy reserve area and dormancy area.

The reason why the dormant area is ranked last is because it has the lowest potential value.

In addition, consider that mutant plants have the characteristics of living parasites.

The residents of the shelter who were originally staying in the dormant cabin were probably in danger.

Under his leadership, everyone came to the passage leading to the experimental area.

The closed door here was seriously damaged, with a large area of ​​​​dentation and tilted to one side.

Judging from the direction of the dent, it was also broken from the inside to the outside.

This actually caused a trace of doubt in Rosen's mind.

He didn't know for the time being which division these mutated plants originated from.

But judging from the traces, they almost all extend from the inside.

This situation means that the mother body of this mutant plant is very likely to exist in the experimental area.

Of course, there must be more than one mutant plant in the entire B-074 shelter.

Judging from the location map of the shelter.

Only [0741] and [0742] have planned experimental areas.

And【0743】and【0744】only have other functional areas.

However, [0742] is the "cleanest" place among all the partitions. Even the partition door has not been damaged. Looking back at it now, it becomes even more questionable.

He returned his attention to the closed door in front of him.

The trouble doesn't stop there.

I saw that the smaller passage behind the door was completely occupied by tangled vines and branches.

Only a few gaps remain.

It was like a plug formed by vine branches, tightly blocking the passage leading to the experimental area.

The center position is exactly the kind of thick rhizome Rosen had seen before.

It's like a pencil lead embedded inside, looking a little abrupt and weird.

A fracture with burn marks can still be seen at the end. There is no doubt that this is the root that was broken by the laser cannon just now.

It seemed that he sensed something.

When Rosen and others got a little closer.

The broken end of the rhizome trembled, and a black bead squeezed out of it.

This round bead is entangled with purple meridians and looks like an eyeball, looking at the uninvited guests gloomily.

The light from the unburned fire reflected on the surface of the ball.

Intuition told Rosen that this was definitely not a good thing.

Without saying a word, he raised his left arm and fired out the particle cannon prepared in advance.

The high-energy particle beam hit the black ball straight.

Then it was like a green steel nail penetrated.

"Fire!"

He gave an order, and all the war slaves raised their rapid-fire machine guns and fired at the passage blocked by vine branches.

The vines and branches were so dense that they had to be broken up and then burned.

"Da da da da..."

The rapid-fire machine guns on everyone's arms burst out with a gun flame of more than 20 centimeters.

The scorching bullet flew towards the passage.

The barrage formed into a crazy lawn mower, which could visibly break the branches.

At the same time, thin the vine barriers blocking the passage.

After twenty seconds of firing at full speed, the first magazine was empty.

Everyone took out a new ammunition box from the carrying case installed on the rear side of the exoskeleton and replaced it.

The four fire-breathing war slaves each took a few steps to the side and adjusted their spray directions.

The flamethrower's ultimate range can reach 65 meters.

The pressure can be adjusted, making it a formidable weapon.

For example, a large flamethrowing device installed on a vehicle can even send the flames straight up to two hundred meters away.

Four clusters of flames surged out.

They were rolled into the channel for several meters, and then rolled out along the barrier.

The entire passage is like a cupping pot.

The scorching heat rushed towards them, causing the war slaves to take a few steps back.

Only Rosen, who was wearing power armor, remained motionless.

This level of high temperature is nothing.

…

At the same time, somewhere in the sanctuary was a supervisor's main control room.

Countless branches are connected to the main control devices like blood vessels.

On the quantum computer in the center, all the vine branches are twisted into one, like a fountain.

There is a lantern-like head attached to the top.

The head had its eyes closed tightly, a vein appeared on the forehead, and purple blood was flowing inside it.

This also caused his face to be covered with purple lines.

Suddenly, the head suddenly opened its eyes.

There was a hint of evil in his eyes.

At this time, another thick entangled vine slowly stretched out from the side.

There is another head connected to it, that of a delicate woman with short hair.

There were also traces of purple on her face, and she was speaking with a calm expression.

"Our guest looks grumpy."

"It seems that those guys who stayed outside have not had a good life in the past nineteen years."

"So violent, so impulsive, so fearless..."

"But we are the owners of the shelter."

After hearing this, the slender head slowly replied.

"They are heading towards the laboratory where the original mother strain is located."

"It should be about finding equipment and available supplies."

"Just now, the tree eyes I condensed using the mother roots were knocked out."

"The guy at the head is wearing a suit of fancy modified power armor."

"Although we have all separated from the original mother plant and evolved into a more powerful plant."

"But we still can't let them act so recklessly."

"Activate the plant servants in the 0741 dormant area."

"Those children are certainly weaker in combat power, but as long as we swarm them, they should be able to deal with the intruders."

The tall-headed words were approved by the delicate woman.

"I think so too."

"First deal with those who broke into the interior, and then activate the third-generation plant servants in zones 3 and 4 to kill those outside the shelter."

"We have to return to the ground eventually."

"All implants are now reaching their growth limits."

"All the energy that can be mobilized within the authority is used by us to cultivate the nutrient matrix."

“The hardened implants are still unable to break through these overly thick shelter barriers.

"And the remaining energy is the bottom line for maintenance when the shelter is designed."

"There's no value here anymore."

Qingxiu Nao's words made Shou Nao narrow his eyes.

"Get out."

“You can only continue to grow if you get out.”

"To be on the safe side, activate the armed implant now."

"Especially the 'big guys', I think it's time for them to take action."

"The outsiders' firepower is not weak, and the situation on the surface is destined to not be too peaceful."

"We cannot take these violent intruders lightly."

The sound stopped abruptly here.

Both heads closed their eyes and stopped communicating.

Silence returned to the room, as if the previous exchange had never existed.

…

[There should be an update tomorrow. It may be 3K chapters in 3 chapters, or 9K in a single chapter, maybe more. Let’s see if we can update the rest of the shelter part in one go. Anyway, it’s almost the same. It’s only two or three days long]
