Chapter 48: Tai Sui
【Bronze Power Armor-Infantry Combat Type】
[Degree of loss: 88%]
【Power Type: Life Essentia】
[Basic Functions: Attack Amplification, Energy Shield, Instantaneous Maneuver]
Chen Ye immediately gathered his gaze, and a system prompt appeared in front of him:
[Consumes 499 Survival Points to strengthen Bronze Power Armor-Infantry Type (Normal)]
When everyone fled from the ruins of the town before, they killed a lot of snake-tailed Rafflesia along the way.
But the survival points obtained are only more than 100 points, and if you want to upgrade the power armor, there is still a lot of difference.
Chen Ye gave up and began to drive the power armor.
The bronze power armor, which looked heavy, became very light at the moment.
He tried to make some movements, but found that there was no stagnancy or stuttering.
The power armor will even intelligently provide power assistance according to the action model.
Looking at Chen Ye's constant shaking body, Liu Zijun couldn't help but smile: "If you consume a small amount of life essence, you can easily drive this set of metal armor, this is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Xihe clan!" ”
When Chen Ye tried the power armor, he was envious of Lu Ze, who was standing aside.
Unfortunately, there are only two sets of Power Armor in the arsenal.
This high school student, who suffers from secondary two disease, can only watch from the side.
And Lin Zimo and Li Ranran, who were standing next to them, didn't have much interest.
Because the bronze power armor decorated with animal patterns is somewhat ugly in their opinion.
"After the starship entered Terra for the second time, it encountered storm turbulence and crashed in this place."
"I manipulated the excavated bronze power armor to dig a tunnel that led directly to the underground ruins, and then built a courtyard nearby."
"Although as a conscious being, I don't rely on such buildings, but occasionally walking around the courtyard can somewhat recall the life on the earth at that time."
Liu Zijun, who was walking in front, said with emotion.
A few minutes later, Chen Ye and the others walked through the living area and storage area and came to the cockpit located at the front of the starship.
A circular tunnel with a diameter of about five meters appeared on the side of the cockpit.
The starship itself has lost its function, so in order to facilitate access to the underground ruins, Liu Zijun directly chiseled through the cockpit.
An elevator platform removed from the interior of the hull is also installed at the entrance.
Liu Zijun started the elevator platform, and Chen Ye immediately stood up, but the remaining three people did not move.
In the dark tunnel, where you can't see your fingers, there is a whimpering wind, which sounds terrible.
After experiencing the ruins of the town, everyone already has a shadow in their hearts.
Chen Ye was not too strong, and waved his hand to signal a few teammates to step back: "You three don't have to be reluctant, just stay at the mouth of the tunnel." ”
They were neither wearing bronze power armor nor any protection.
In this case, it is really dangerous to rush into the cavity of the rock formation.
If there is an accident that causes attrition, it will be too late to regret it.
Seeing Chen Ye's resolute expression, Liu Zijun, who was standing not far away, nodded with satisfaction.
The elevator platform rumbled, carrying the two through the dark and cramped tunnel into the cavity.
On the way, Liu Zijun introduced the precautions.
In fact, the underground is not as calm as imagined.
In order to defend against the ghouls who live in the ruins of the ancient capital.
Liu Zijun specially built a small fort like a fortress.
In addition, the high-voltage current barrier released by the starship presents a translucent sphere that shimmers with electric light.
So the defenses located under the rock formations are also wrapped in the barrier.
However, the fog that surrounds the barrier only exists on the surface.
But under normal circumstances, there would be no problems with the defenses.
The elevator platform arrived safely, and the roar stopped abruptly.
The caverns are very quiet.
It was so quiet that you could hear the sound of a needle falling on the ground.
Liu Zijun pulled out the bronze sword, and there was a little doubt in his tone: "When I came here before, those ghouls reacted very violently, and they would always attack the defense facilities at the first time, but why is there no movement now?" ”
On the other side, Chen Ye was using the light of the elevator platform to observe the situation inside the defense facility.
The defense facility is about 100 square meters of space.
The exterior walls are made of huge rocks and look solid.
However, due to the thickness of the rock layer leading to the underground cavity, there is only the edge part of the high-voltage current barrier, which shrouds the defenses.
The doorway is at the very edge of the barrier, not an inch, not an inch.
Just walk out from here, and leave the protection of the barrier.
At this time, Chen Ye found that some tiny gray-white mycelium spread out from the cracks in the doors and windows.
He immediately wondered, "When was the last time you entered this place?" ”
The suspended projection ball in Liu Zijun's body flashed with a point of light: "It should have been 65 years ago!" ”
"I wake up every 100 years to do the necessary maintenance on the equipment."
"The last time I visited, this place was quite lively."
"65 years ago?" Chen Ye was shocked, and hurriedly pointed to the mycelium on the cracks in the doors and windows, and asked, "Then have you noticed the changes in the fungal community?" ”
Liu Zijun stepped forward and observed for a moment, revealing a surprised expression: "Is this a high-grade fungus that I created?" It should be guarding the ruins of the town a few kilometers away, how did it come here? ”
Liu Zijun really didn't know what was going on outside, and Chen Ye couldn't help but shake his head.
"In the past 65 years, there should have been a lot of changes outside!"
"Fungal communities control hundreds of square kilometers of forest, including the organisms that inhabit the forest."
"After being controlled by it, the lifeform will mutate into a very terrifying monster......"
Chen Ye described in detail what happened during the two days, especially what he saw and heard in the ruins of the town.
Liu Zijun frowned when he heard this.
He took a deep breath and introduced the situation of the year.
And the next words, the truth that made Chen Ye even more shocked gradually emerged.
As a conscious body, Liu Zijun began to study the ruins of the ancient capital city in the cavity of the rock formation after returning from the earth star.
To do this, he built a small town in the forest.
There are several workshops with different functions in the town, as well as more than a dozen tower-shaped warehouses.
It is mainly used to study and store some excavated antiquities.
Due to the crash of the starship, Liu Zijun dismantled the high-frequency pulse transmitter inside the hull and placed it in the center of the town.
After changing the pulse frequency of the jamming tower, a high-intensity electromagnetic pulse signal is released, causing strong brainwave interference to life forms within 10 kilometers.
As a result, the Takas and other alien beasts who descended on Terra more than 2,000 years ago were unable to get close to the town and the ruins of the ancient capital, and could only wander through the labyrinthine forest.
"I see!"
Chen Ye couldn't help but sigh.
It's no wonder that none of the human adventurers who passed through the forest before found the remains of the town.
"Of course, there are always creatures that come to the outskirts of town by accident and pose a threat to me."
Liu Zijun paused and continued.
So, he used slime molds from the alien galaxy, ancient fungi in the rock formations of the planet, and paleontological samples from the ruins of the Terra Star Capital to fuse the cells of these three organisms together to artificially cultivate a higher fungus.
These fungi have low-order intelligence and tenacious vitality.
Named: Tai Sui.
Liu Zijun placed Tai Sui near the town to defend against the attacks of foreign races and alien beasts, and to protect the most important interference tower.
At first, it worked.
But as the Takas grew stronger, the Interference Tower and Tai Sui gradually lost their advantage.
To this end, Liu Zijun implanted a crystal nucleus loaded with an intelligent program in Tai Sui's mother, which accelerated its growth.
It's just that I didn't expect that a few years later, Tai Sui mutated under the action of the crystal nucleus, grew wildly uncontrollably, and became a super giant fungal community!
