Chapter 15: Black Flowers

Right now, right now.

About ten meters in front of Andy was a large abandoned truck with a large pile of iron drums loaded with radioactive materials in its body.

Stretched out from the bucket was a black "bud" about two meters long and one meter wide, covered with disgusting folds and growths.

It's alive, there's no doubt about that, because it's still squirming before Andy's eyes.

It's black like ink, and there are a lot of tentacles-like roots below, and a part of the body that stretches out of the discarded iron bucket above is a part that I don't know what it is for the time being.

"What's this......"

Andy turns on V mode, and in this state, Andy sees the other party's name.

【.........??? 】

Looking at the pile of ellipses and question marks, Andy's first-time feeling omnipotent Pip-Boy finally stood on the same running line as him.

Ended the V mode and glanced at the wrist.

"Haha, you don't know the result."

However, the beep-beep boy did not respond to his ridicule, and was still silently analyzing and comparing.

【......... Preliminary analysis results: 25% of sundew, 14% of astragalus, 25% of roses, the rest are unknown, and the specific data need to be further confirmed.

Andy looked at the results of this simple analysis, and felt that these speculations were completely unbeatable, and he thought back for a while to see if he could find any memories about this ghost in the scattered memories, but the result was nothing, and this huge black strange plant seemed to be the first time he had seen it.

Suddenly, the huge "bud" turned in Andy's direction.

“.... What? ”

Andy subconsciously took a few steps back, what would this thing do? For example, spewing some strange powder or emitting some strange colors are very likely, and given that this thing is rooted in a pile of radioactive material, I am afraid it will be a very vicious thing.

Under his gaze, the huge "flower bud" suddenly opened.

Contrary to Andy's imagination, the opening of this thing was not a symmetrical bloom like a morning glory, but a chaotic unfolding of a ball of waste paper, as it cracked some cracks, and a yellow liquid flowed down from it, burning the iron bucket underneath with white smoke, accompanied by the wind and sand, a foul smell came to the wind.

Quickly cover his nose, but the terrible smell is still seeping in, and after a moment of strange scenes like diarrhea, an unrecognizable object is spit out by the strange thing and rolls onto the sand.

Andy took a few steps sideways and watched from a distance, and after a short period of observation, he could almost confirm that the large piece of garbage that had been spit out should have been a person, although the body was completely shriveled and the clothes and belongings were in disarray from the horrible erosive saliva, some of the bone shapes could still be judged.

Away from the outlet, the terrifying stench finally moved away from him, and changed his perspective, this time he suddenly found that there were still a few black spots faintly in the distance of this place, if it was not bad, they should all be car wreckage similar to this big truck.

"Is it difficult? .....”

Andy looked left and right, compared directions, and then ran to a sandy area and scooped up a few handfuls of sand. Sure enough, in the not deep ground buried in the yellow sand, several pieces of broken and decayed asphalt pavement appeared.

Standing on the sand with his waist pinched, Andy knew that he had found a road that had been abandoned for an unknown number of years, this road was very wide and showed a north-south direction, and the road surface of the road had been completely destroyed by the wind and sand, either completely shattered or submerged in the ground by the sand. But the cars that broke down on the highway still stand here against the years, and until today they are a pile of rusty iron, and they are still lined up along the highway far away, becoming a special landscape in this vast desert.

“..... Why is this the case? There is no reason why the government would abandon the roads that were built at great cost and the sense of this terrible age. ”

He recalled the information he had read in Tibbetts prison that was not marked after 2077 in the general education, and even if there were, it was all kinds of words such as expectations, plans, and probably, and related to everything in front of him, Andy found that the state of the world was probably worse than he imagined, and he thought that it was just the name of the country that had become NCR, but now it seems that ..... I'm afraid there is only one truth, and the concept of that country in his subconscious is likely to have died out in this land.

"That's kind of bad..... I can imagine some catastrophic consequences. ”

Andy grabbed a whitish dead grass and put it in his mouth and bit it, and when he turned around, the huge black plant that had completed the "vomiting" had changed its form at this moment, and its "flower buds" that were shrunk together like waste paper balls were completely unfolded at this moment, and were spread flat above the body of the truck, and the color of the inner side was actually green, and some mimicked "grass" appeared.

Then, something that looked like a pale green fruit protruded from its center, followed by another ..... After a while, Andy's eyes saw something like a small tree full of fruit, but it was obvious that it couldn't be a small tree at all, it was just a bait for this monster.

The wind was blowing from the west, and some of the wind and sand covered and swallowed the remains of the dead that had just been spit out by the strange plant, but some of the sand on the other side of the truck was also blown away by the force of the wind, revealing a vague bulge.

Needless to say, those bulges should be the remains of creatures similar to the dead man, once tempted by those "fruits" to approach, these creatures thirsting for water will probably be immediately captured by those tentacle-like black roots, and then sent into the giant mouth, as the "buds" gradually tighten, the prey will howl and die in the squeezing and strong acid.

I don't know how long it will take before this man-eating flower will be spit into the sand next to it with a miserable face.

Andy stood and looked at the attractive-looking bait for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders and turned away.

There is no need to waste bullets.

"Since there is a highway here.... It's better to walk along here. ”

Andy walked towards the wreckage of the cars in the distance, this time at least the road was not as boring and lethargic as before, the black dots in front of him became his target, and when he got closer, he confirmed that they were indeed the wreckage of old scrapped cars, some passenger cars and some vans.

Once again, the sun was setting towards the horizon.

Seeing that night was approaching, Andy decided to find a nearby place to stay for the night.

He turned his head to look at a van on the left side of him, walked to the back door and tugged on the door, and found that the compartment was not only locked, but also completely rusted.

After trying for a while, it was still meaningless, and just when Andy wanted to use a pistol to violently open the lock, he suddenly saw a hole in the side of the carriage that was the size of a person.......
