Chapter 34: The Scarlet Past

A mutant sisal slashed through its long, thick and sharp blades, and before it could reach its target, it was scorched by the flames, rolling on the ground in vain, but the fire grew bigger and bigger.

Andy sweated profusely and spewed around with a flamethrower, and the high-temperature flames spit out from the nozzle swept in all directions, and all the mutated plants that dared to approach were on fire, and they turned into charcoal in a short time.

As more and more plants died, the plants seemed to begin to understand that something was wrong, and more and more mutated plants stopped in his distance.

"Serious ecological problems detected, clean up!" Mr. Spray raised two sprayers, and the spray of the herbicide mist spread far away, and as soon as it was contaminated with this poisonous preparation, the plants instantly began to turn yellow.

Some of the plants on fire scurried around in a panic, inadvertently spreading open flames to mutated plants that had been poisoned by herbicides, causing a larger fire.

Using the biopistol in her hand, String shoots concentrated herbicide ammunition, which is so powerful that she can destroy a mutated plant with a single shot, which will die in a matter of minutes.

They turn yellow, then brown, and finally completely black, dead grass. Relying on his metal body that is not afraid of poison or cutting, the mower is carried around with the lawnmower, which is made of unknown metal materials and has a specialized structure, which can chop plants with a single blow, and even a few plants standing together can be completely divided into two, which leaves a road full of grass juice where he passes.

“hiahiahia!” He lifted the lawnmower, and the mutated aloe vera blade in front of him had become as hard as spiked armor because of the mutation, and it was difficult to approach when it wriggled indiscriminately to attack, but it was vulnerable under the cutting of this artifact, and it was killed on the spot.

A large amount of translucent plant juice was sprinkled on the tank's body, giving him a strange scent of grass all over his body.

At first, she was happy with the results of the battle, but it didn't take long for her to notice the danger. The way the herbicides burned when they came into contact with an open flame was a little too terrifying, and a small piece of the herbicide burst into flames when it came into contact with the flames, covering a large area around the flames.

"Wait! Stop it! Andy! You don't breathe fire anymore!! She rushed over and held down the elated Andy and forcibly closed the valve.

"Didn't you notice that the fire was out of control? Those herbicides .... It's already all over the place! Andy was surprised to see the surrounding fire, Mr. Spray's spraying efficiency was a bit beyond expectations, and he didn't expect the herbicide to interact with the flames from the flamethrower.

By the time the few men finally stopped from the frenzied counterattack, the surroundings had become a mess, with a large number of broken branches and leaves and the corpses of mutated plants that had begun to decay piled up on the ground around them, and the flammable herbicide and flames blended with each other to form a fierce fire, which had developed for a period of time.

In the midst of the flames, the mutant plants fled in a direction away from here, and while this did successfully repel the enemy, several people were embarrassed to find themselves surrounded by raging flames.

"Get back to that house!" String turned around and ran first, but Mr. Spray's machine brain didn't react.

It was still stubbornly spraying herbicides, and with the sudden sweep of a wall of fire, the robot was suddenly drowned in flames, and soon after, a terrible explosion turned into charred parts.

Everything is just fueling the momentum of this fire.

"It's so hot...."The two of them were sweating and hiding in the maintenance facility, and even the tank brain began to worry that the temperature of their brain container was beginning to approach the danger line.

If the fire continues to spread, it may lead to the disintegration and destruction of the entire facility. Luckily, this automated facility also has a preset solution to this problem.

With a short, high-pitched alarm, the pre-war structures on the transparent dome began to operate according to the emergency fire fighting mode, and these irrigation devices, which could simulate rainfall, could also perform other types of functions, such as bringing the current fire under control, under special procedures.

Almost downpour-like precipitation began to fall from the sky. The fire was finally stopped, and everywhere became muddy, and the foul-smelling steam was so dense that the exhaust system in the area seemed to have been damaged by the earthquake and did not expel the toxic steam.

The condensed steam formed a miasma in a short period of time, and visibility in the plain area of the garden area was drastically reduced.

Through the window, Andy was surprised to see that it was getting dark outside, and a thick fog covered the greenhouse.

Under the bleak outdoor light, there was an unknown shadow in the fog. Although the situation became more complicated, at least the temperature had cooled down, and the tank brain had stopped trying to find a refrigerator in the second-story room to store his brain.

"Can't you just pay attention? If I hadn't stopped you, you'd have run into the fire!! String angrily shoved Andy, though it didn't make Andy move at all.

He scratched his head.

"I didn't expect those potions to catch fire, it's so cool to burn those guys who make me hurt to death, I don't even pay attention to what's going on around me....." Cylinder Brain poured a bottle of nuclear cola into his container, looking at the thick fog rolling outside the window, he always felt that this scene was very familiar, he thought for a while, and suddenly thought of a movie he had watched before the war when he was an ordinary human..... That time, I made an appointment with a cute girl, but the girl left halfway through.

In order not to waste the movie tickets he bought, he went to see the movie by himself. The movie is a horror movie, isn't it a matter of course.... But because of the unique plot design, Tank Brain left a very deep impression on this movie.

In that movie, a suspected military experiment caused a thick fog to surround a small town, and at first people wondered why the weather was suddenly so extreme, but it didn't take long for people to be horrified to find that there were many large, dangerous, and strangely shaped monsters in the fog.

These monsters go around attacking humans they can reach, killing or eating them if they catch them.

At that time, Cylinder Brain felt that this setting must have been written by insiders, because in the place where he worked, there were dozens of dangerous substances that could achieve similar results, and it was unknown whether these things could be guaranteed to be absolutely safe and not leaked during the experiment.... Of course, no one wants to lose their jobs, and no one will leak these things out to the people.

At the end of the movie, the male protagonist who found out that everything was done by the government was desperate to drive with his relatives and friends to escape from danger, but he was finally knocked down by despair, and everyone except the male protagonist committed suicide with a pistol in the car, cruelly leaving the male protagonist alone outside to cry bitterly.

But it was only after the male protagonist had just recovered from his extremely sad mood that he met the real despair.

The military, who he didn't trust, sent troops to rescue the crowd, and the cyborg soldiers in protective suits held flamethrowers and used high-temperature flames to disperse the fog, and the monsters exposed from the fog were vulnerable and destroyed in front of the flames.

The residents who were rescued by the military rode in military trucks and looked down at the tear-stained and surprised male protagonist below, with pity in their eyes.

Tank Brain sat in his seat and the last one left the cinema. This seemed to be an omen, just two months later, the city of Denver was hit by the Denver Red Fog tragedy that shocked the whole SA at that time in the early hours of the morning, and one of the main lines of a military poison gas laboratory at the Rocky Mountain Military Base had a serious leak due to a serious leak problem, and the highly toxic red fog descended on the city of Denver below and covered several blocks.

Hospitals were overcrowded, and many of the rescued citizens suffered from eroding lungs, and many were sent to intensive care units for severe poisoning.

At that time, as one of the senior scientists of the Great Dome, Cylinder Brain also participated in the investigation after the incident, and read some of the extremely confidential archival documents.

He was so scared by the pictures that he couldn't sleep. In one of the neighborhoods where the red mist was most accumulated, there were citizens who had turned into meat puree.

He pondered these old events, but was suddenly startled. In the thick fog outside the window, there was a distant and terrifying roar.
