Interstellar: Start as a cleaner

Chapter 653 D-level mutant plants (please vote for me)

 ps: Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will continue with three updates.

“In the harsh environment of the sinkhole below, any moving object, let alone zombies, will be strangled by these plants.”

“No wonder the machine I was given is called the Jungle Patrol Robot.”

“But I should be equipped with fire-breathing weapons, shouldn’t I be equipped with this kind?”

“Forget it, I’m here now, I don’t know the way back anyway.”

“It must be reasonable for the game official to prepare this for me. They also want me to complete the task.” Yang Bo comforted himself.

The diameter of this sinkhole is almost 500 meters. The deepest part is invisible, and the visible edge is about 100 meters away.

The entire Tiankeng is filled with clouds and mist. This Tiankeng is also located on a mountain.

It seemed like the entire mountain had collapsed.

The robot has two mechanical arms, matched with two legs, and it can forcefully descend from the stone wall of the sinkhole bit by bit.

This does not require Yang Bo's operation, because the robot can go down by itself.

Yang Bo paid close attention to the bottom of the tiankeng. The robot gradually approached the bottom of the tiankeng, and he could see the lush greenery below.

 The robot shows that the temperature below is higher than the temperature above, and the humidity is also relatively high.

“Could it be that the nuclear facility has been boiling water down there?”

“The resulting heat rises, causing the sinkhole to resemble a greenhouse.”

“I remember that there are some chemicals that can make these mists crystallize quickly?”

“Could it be that there is something the military wants in this sinkhole, but yes, these plants that can survive in such a high-concentration nuclear radiation environment must have research value.”

“Then why doesn’t the military come to explore? What unknown dangers are there?”

“Since the military has not completed the exploration, I’m afraid the danger inside is not small.”

 “It’s such a public environment after all.” Yang Bo muttered in his heart.

 Approaching the bottom of the edge of the sinkhole, you can see the dense vegetation and vines below, completely blocking the view.

 At the same time, we also found that the bottom of the sinkhole should be uneven, and there might be a deeper hole.

These vines look harmless now. If it hadn't been for the stone thrown just now, even Yang Bo wouldn't have believed that these vines could react so quickly.

 Adjust the machine gun to single-shot mode and hit these vines directly.

In the robot cockpit, Yang Bo could not hear the sound of machine guns outside, but these plants felt the sound of machine guns.

Countless vines emerged from the jungle and rushed towards the place where the sound came from with their claws and teeth.

These vines seem to be relatively slow and swaying from side to side, seemingly unsure of the target's location.

Such a slow movement made Yang Bo breathe a sigh of relief, and the machine gun fired continuously to break these vines.

 The broken vines fell under the tree.

Yang Bo interrupted the branch blocking the line of sight again.

"I...!" After using more than 2,000 bullets, Yang Bo finally opened a gap in the sight covered by vine branches.

 Mainly because the surrounding vines keep coming.

The bottom of this sinkhole is uneven, and you can see many gaps between the black stones. You can see some gaps, and mist is coming out.

Some gaps are relatively small, only a few centimeters, and some gaps are about a meter wide.

The length also varies, some are tens of meters long, and some are only a short distance away.

"I understand, the reason why these branches and vines are so tightly blocked is equivalent to a cooling effect." Yang Bo discovered through the robot radar that the ground temperature was relatively high. If there were no vine branches acting as condensers to drip down the fog cooling water, the high temperature The ground can't be that wet.

"No wonder the military doesn't dare to make big moves here. It doesn't know how big the reactor down here is."

“I don’t know how many years have passed in this world. Logically speaking, this kind of reactor will be gone after the fuel is exhausted after a certain period of time, right?”

Then Yang Bo carefully observed these trees and plants. It seemed that these trees had nothing to do with these plants and were two species, but Yang Bo always felt that there should be a relationship between the two.

 The trees here don’t look very thick, but they have lush branches and very large leaves.

Those vines cling to these trees, filling the gaps between the leaves.

These vines are covered with sharp thorns, and there are no branches or leaves in most places. Clusters of leaves burst out to fill the empty spaces of the leaves.

 “Something’s wrong!” After careful observation, Yang Bo finally discovered something was wrong.

There is an old saying on earth that a vine can entangle a tree and kill it.

The vine is attached to the tree. On the one hand, it absorbs the nutrients from the trunk. On the other hand, it grows along the trunk and reaches the top of the tree to rob the tree of sunlight.

The vines here only fill the gaps between the leaves and do not take away the space of the leaves.

Looking more closely, these tree roots and vines are all growing on the stone. The tree roots almost cover the entire stone. The steam condensed water left from the leaves and vines falls on the tree roots and is absorbed by the tree roots.

The roots of the tree are covered with dense fibrous roots and aerial roots.

 The space that had just been cleared with a machine gun in less than half an hour was slowly covered by new vines.

These vines grow very quickly, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

 Everyone in the background of the doomsday dungeon game saw this scene, and it was not surprising at all, because everyone had already seen it from the information.

"What danger is there in this place? The military has sent robots several times, and the exploration robots have lost contact inexplicably." Someone asked.

Military information shows that robots, drones, and even various drones were dispatched, but contact was inexplicably lost in the sinkhole. So now when everyone is watching Yang Bo explore the tiankeng, they are always on tenterhooks.

The robot controlled by Yang Bo is still on the stone wall, because since the military said it is extremely dangerous here, then it is 100% extremely dangerous. If it is not dangerous, it will not be his turn.

“The robot has one and a half hours left.” Today, the robot has been used for two hours.

“What kind of danger is it?” Yang Bo decided to try it with a missile.

 Directly control the robot to launch a missile, and the target of this missile attack is a big tree.

Yang Bo chose the electromagnetic missile. The missile flew out of the backpack and hit the root of a tree dozens of meters away with a stream of white smoke.

 Energy drain +4!

 A piece of information flashed in Yang Bo's mind.

“Huh?” This is a mutated plant, and its level is not low, equivalent to a D-level superpower.

"Yes, even if the military destroys these trees, they don't know that these trees are mutant plants."

“Imagine the military’s various robots. The drones have no idea that these seemingly harmless plants are actually D-level mutant plants.”

 And now the appearance of this tree does not appear to have changed at all, because electromagnetic missiles do not have physical killing capabilities.

“These powerful-looking vines are probably weapons used by these trees for self-defense.”

“But this is not enough for the military to label this place as extremely dangerous.”

With many thoughts running through his mind, Yang Bo decided to release another missile.

This time it was a purely explosive missile, hitting the root of a tree again.

This time, Yang Bo mainly wanted to use the sound of explosions to use passive detection capabilities.

However, Yang Bo soon discovered that something was wrong. The appearance of the tree he had just killed with an electromagnetic missile did not appear to have changed at all, but the mist sprayed from the two rock gaps around it seemed to have increased.

 “Could it be!” A very frightening thought formed in Yang Bo’s mind.

These mutated plants are able to absorb the energy released by the nuclear reactor below.

If someone invades the sinkhole, can these mutated plants not absorb the energy and release energy in specific areas through the gaps leading to the ground?

“D-level mutant plants should have their own primary consciousness.”

“In other words, as long as someone steps into this sinkhole, it is equivalent to infringing on the territory of these plants. The sinkhole itself is a huge trap.”

“The roots of these plants may all go deep into the ground, forming a similar closed structure to absorb the energy released by the reactor to maintain themselves or evolve themselves.”

“Maybe these plants can release energy in the opposite direction.”

I have a guess in my heart, but I still don’t know what it looks like, but this way Yang Bo can’t even set foot in the sinkhole.

 “What should I do?” Yang Bo had no idea for a while.

 “Let’s brush up on skills first.” Yang Bo decided to brush up on skills first.

So the gun in his hand fired, but he soon discovered that although the gun could break trees, it had no skills.

So the staff at the backend of the Doomsday Dungeon game saw a strange scene among gamers.

 I saw the player controlling the machine gun and firing continuously at the trunks, branches and roots of the trees, hitting the branches, trunks, roots and sawdust flying.

 “This…!” Everyone was a little surprised, this player must be crazy.

 Then he saw this player shooting out all the missiles carried by the robot.

 “This guy can’t break a jar, can he?” The boss of the game department, the colonel, was a little confused.

 And that’s not to mention that this player also threw all the bombs carried by his character through a throwing device of the robot.

 Soon a large area was cleared in the middle.

Yang Bo actually did this to cover up his use of electromagnetic bombs to improve his skills.

“Oh, I would have known they would all carry electromagnetic missiles and electromagnetic bombs.” Because Yang Bo already knows where the energy core of these trees is. Although it can be solved with bullets, the bullet will be discovered by the game backend as long as it hits.

“I just used 27 energy absorption skills.” Yang Bo looked at this large forest and thought it was a pity.

The energy core of these trees is in the roots. The roots of these trees intersect with the vines. It looks like a simple vine wrapped around the roots. In fact, this is the energy core of the mutant plant, which also controls the trees. and vines.

 So when Yang Bo controlled the machine gun to hit this place, a small energy crystal flew among the sawdust.

 “Poof!” The colonel in the background of the game was drinking iced coffee to relieve his anxiety, but he didn’t expect such a scene to suddenly appear.

The next second, I saw the game character controller robot jumping to the location of the crystal in three or two steps, picked up the crystal, and then ran back quickly.

 “Boss, we have made a great contribution!” Finally, other staff in the background of the game screamed.

Then everyone saw Yang Bo controlling the robot to continue shooting on the stone wall. As the bullets hit the intersection of the tree roots and vines, green energy crystals flew out of the wood chips.

“Quick, quick, prompt him to complete the task.” The colonel also realized that this is a tiankeng, this is a cornucopia. Looking at the size of this crystal, all the plants in this area are mutant plants.

The virtual screen has just been switched to Yang Bo in the game background, and the next second he saw a terrifying scene in the game background.

These gaps in the middle of the sinkhole instantly spurted out countless amounts of mist with brilliant light.

The next second, the robot and the android lost contact.

"tmd, I understand. This sinkhole is the territory of these mutant plants. These mutant plants control the energy of the nuclear reactors below and absorb their energy. As long as an intruder enters the sinkhole, these mutant plants will release this energy. "The colonel understood instantly.
