Chapter 31: The Giant Black Flower
The bullet shredded its tentacles, sensing the pain of the monster hidden underground, and its tentacles gradually loosened its tank brain, and then shrank under the sand and disappeared, leaving behind a miserable-looking robot.
"Almost... I'm done. Jar Brain carefully examined his brain container, making sure that it was not splattered with the monster's blood, and if his brain container was damaged, he would soon have serious problems, and a leak of biogel would inactivate his poor brain, eventually leading to brain death.
Andy retracted the gun, he didn't expect this monster to be so difficult, even the body fluids have such a strong acidity, but if he hadn't shot just now, God knows where the tank brain would have been dragged.
"What the hell is that...", String looked around warily, and said that he could not do anything about Andy's question.
"I've never seen a monster that doesn't react to my biochemicals, how is that possible? Neither the mutant lizards nor the mutant scorpions could remain indifferent to my masterpiece, that thing ....." Before the words fell, a strange voice suddenly came out not far away, like something squirming wildly underground.
A large sand dune gradually rose from the desert, and as the dune continued to rise, the sand gradually slipped clean from above, revealing a behemoth hidden beneath it.
"What's that?" String looked at the large, black unidentified creature in amazement.
"A deathclaw?" Andy made a brief observation, and shook his head decisively, he had also seen a deathclaw in the desert underground during an unforgettable adventure, which resembled a ferocious giant erect lizard with long, narrow claws and sharp horns.
While it also burrows and likes to occasionally inhabit underground areas or caverns that give them a sense of security, it doesn't have the unrecognizable shape in front of them.
And in terms of size, this giant black flower is the size of two adult deathclaws combined. The thing that came out of the sand looked like a huge black spindle, and the surface was still slowly squirming, and there were many black tentacles flapping indiscriminately underneath, and it looked like the one that had just tied up the tank brain.
After a few moments, the large black spindle suddenly cracked, but not in order, but in a very haphazard manner, like a soaked ball of waste paper or an indescribable strange flower.
The inner part of the body is different from the black skin, and it emits a fierce green glow. A lot of juice flowed to the ground after it bloomed, and then smoke erupted.
This one
"Flowers" .... It can probably be described as simple as this, the intense green light shining from the stamen of this huge flower almost shook Andy Chord's eyes, and the light was still beating strangely, changing in rhythm and intensity.
Although it is far away, it still directly causes the surrounding environment to surge in radiation. [Warning, Geiger counter detected ambient radiation, current intensity: 6] Andy used V mode to lock on to the terrifying guy, so everything in front of him began to slow down, and a message popped up on the guy.
[Unknown mutant plants] [25% of sundews, 14% of astragalus, 25% of roses, the rest are unknown, and the specific data needs to be further confirmed] [Note: This machine has completed the upgrade of the applet, and a new chaotic naming algorithm has been added, which will automatically name and add labels for unrecognizable targets.
The current target has been renamed: Glowing Big Black Flower. Andy disables the analysis function of V-mode, and it suddenly remembers that he seems to have met this kind of guy shortly after leaving Tibbetts Prison, but at that time he chose to take a detour, and the guy in front of him seems to be preparing to take revenge.
"Gotta take anti-radiation pills!" String glanced at the Geiger counter he had with him, and an alarm was going off on it.
She took out a red bottle and distributed the pills to Andy, anti-radiant can improve the radiation resistance of the user in the short term, helping the user to avoid absorbing excessive radiation.
If an excess of radiation has been absorbed, it can only be expelled with radiation, but that has a lot of side effects, and Sergeant Larsen and his gang who were sent to protect the scientists of the Great Dome have paid a terrible price for it.
The huge black flower suddenly spit out a large stream of liquid glowing with a strong green light in the direction of Andy and the others, and the three of them hurriedly dodged, and the liquid splashed on the sand, emitting a very unpleasant smell.
[Warning, Geiger counter detected ambient radiation, current intensity: 7]
"Run!" The Tank Brain was already running wildly into the distance, and he noticed that many of the plant's roots were starting to move towards it again, burrowing out from under the sand to tie up and drag the small beings away.
Andy Chord didn't dare to slack off, and also fled in the direction of getting away from this huge monster, although the big black flower was very large, but it didn't move very quickly, and it mainly relied on those roots hidden under the sand to catch prey, so after the three of them made up their minds to turn around and run, it was really a little powerless.
There was a strange grunt in the distance, and the big black flower gathered its roots after losing its target, and gradually sank into the desert again, waiting for the next stupid prey to come closer.
Andy Chord gasped for breath and took a break in the desert, the fierce sun overhead and the temperature was unbearable.
"How can such a dangerous mutant plant exist? .... The most dangerous mutant plant I've ever seen is nothing more than a thing called Spore Grass, but it's not as scary as this. The tank brain next to him used a robot hand to remove the scum that remained on his body, muttering that he still had lingering feelings about what had just happened.
"Oh my God... It's weird, since it's isolated from outside pollution and it's just a plant and plant protection facility, why is this kind of guy here? It can't swim through the chasm created by the earthquake like those cute little black snakes, can it? The string straightened up and glanced around.
They had just run all the way and penetrated a long distance into the area, and the plants that appeared around them began to become more and more strange, such as the cactus next to it, which looked like a swollen corpse standing on one foot in the desert...... The spikes are long, pointed, and have a strange brown tint.
"What the hell..."The tank brain glanced at the purple-black strange cactus, and was about to complain about the ugliness of this thing, when he saw that the cactus suddenly cracked from the middle, and a distorted and deformed wet black unknown object slipped out of it.
"This thing also eats meat, be careful." Andy wiped a handful of sweat from his head and motioned for the strings and the tank to stay away from the weird plants.
"What's next?" String looked at Andy. He lifted the beep-boy to check the map, and saw that the three of them had run all the way from the edge of the garden area to the edge of the desert area, and not far to the north was another garden area.
Not far away, a metal security door appeared, which seemed to be a passage connecting the two greenhouse areas, and they walked over and opened it with trepidation.
Behind the door is an enclosed glass hallway, and a door can be seen not far in front of you that leads to another area.
"Here is a big greenhouse made up of four small greenhouses.... Moreover, each of the four small greenhouses should simulate a unique natural environment, and plant a group suitable for that environment, which is really a big deal. Standing in this corridor, everyone saw the overall structure of the garden area, four huge glass greenhouses connected to each other by glass corridors, and finally at the top of the area towards a center, forming a pyramid-like shape, which may be the general control area of this huge man-made greenhouse, and now the facility located on the high ground is constantly emitting a strange pale green haze downward.
"There's something wrong there, no wonder....", the string points to that position.
"Some of the equipment here is broken, and the wrong breed of those mutated plant monsters." Through the hazy translucent glass, several people could vaguely see that the simulated environment in the greenhouse area in the northeast could be a mountainous area, because there was a towering artificial rockery that probably collapsed due to the earthquake, and it happened to hit the place where it should be the main control room.
This could most likely lead to an anomaly. Andy rubbed his eyes, and he vaguely saw a strange humanoid moving on the stones, but it was limp as if it had no bones.
"Let's go, let's go to the rest of the place to see how it goes." The string patted Andy on the shoulder, and he was stunned for a moment, the strange presence had disappeared without a trace.
