I became the Martial Saint of the Wasteland.

Chapter 177 Chapter 0172: Going straight to the experimental area, the monster tree and all-out conflict [Please subscribe] [6K]

【0741】Within the partition.

When the surging flames stopped, more than ten meters in the passage were cleared.

Violence is always the most direct way to solve problems.

Rosen's expression calmed slightly, and he took the lead to enter the passage that had just been burned and cleared.

At this time, the temperature inside was still very high, with steam billowing out like a chimney.

There was a smoky look everywhere.

Large clouds of smoke poured out along the passage, then rose to the top of the shelter, where they were gradually filtered and exhausted by the ventilation system.

But there was too much smoke.

The dense smoke makes it impossible to see, and even the sights of smart helmets will be greatly affected.

Only power armor can ignore the effects of those thick smoke.

The anti-laser patch on the outside of the Abandoned Power Armor is also black.

After the thick smoke, it suddenly has a matte dark texture.

"Everyone is on guard at the entrance of the passage."

"Deploy fragmentation mines in front of the entrances to the dormant and storage areas."

Rosen warned cautiously.

The war slaves immediately took action.

Laying mines was just an insurance and warning measure.

Of course, considering the possibility of a temporary retreat, he would definitely not let the war slaves lay mines in the passage they came from.

After giving the order, Rosen's attention completely turned to the front that was covered in thick smoke.

The particle cannon on his left arm has already entered a new round of charging state.

The grenade launcher located above the right arm made a clicking sound.

The electromagnetic rapid-fire cannon on the right shoulder and the high-energy laser launcher on the left shoulder entered the standby state, each lighting up with different lights.

He directly asked the power armor to activate the bipedal sliding system.

Two rows of short wheels pop out from the feet, which can enhance Rosen's explosive power in short distances.

Not far from the front of the passage is a sterile room cubicle.

The flames smoked the place black, and the sprayer on the top for spraying disinfectant was dripping with disinfectant that had expired for an unknown number of years.

There are burnt black tones everywhere, but not many details can be seen.

After arriving here, Rosen discovered a new situation.

That is, none of these fires seemed to activate the shelter's emergency fire protection system.

It seems that even if the energy here is not completely exhausted, there may not be much left.

Rosen was thinking in his mind, and he used his tyrannical body and his sliding and accelerating feet to slam open the sterile room blocking his way.

The end of this passage is ahead.

The spotlight on the head of the power armor even illuminated the crooked sealed doors.

As far as the eye could see, all three floors of partitions and closed doors had been broken open.

A translucent plastic film to assist with sealing hangs from the ceiling.

It becomes brittle, hard and yellow under the high temperature baking in the tunnel.

At first glance it looked like the shed skin of some giant creature.

Rosen raised his eyebrows and entered a super-sensory state that enhances his reflexes.

The beam of the spotlight illuminates the front, and a large number of dust particles can be seen floating in the beam.

Everything was hazy.

Particulate matter similar to haze dust slightly interferes with the effect of low-light vision.

The image projected onto the retina through the armored visor was like an oil painting mixed with a handful of sand.

Those particles appeared, which affected his normal observation.

"Turn off low-light vision."

He simply turned off the auxiliary vision system and instantly released his spiritual thoughts.

Without the power of technology, he still has the extraordinary power of refining the gods.

Like the rippling lake surface, Rosen's spiritual thoughts spread out in an instant.

As soon as he covered his body more than ten meters away, his expression suddenly changed.

The laser transmitter on his shoulder suddenly became powerful.

Laser beams two fingers thick shot out.

"Shhhhhh!"

Red light flashes.

A vine whip made of multiple purple branches can be seen thrown out of the darkness.

This vine whip is very fast, and when the end is pulled and stretched, it creates a sonic boom.

But before the sound came, the whip arrived first, and wrapped around Rosen fiercely.

Before it even got close, its rear half was directly interrupted by those laser beams.

Like a cut cable, the aiming head shifted significantly, carrying elastic kinetic energy, passing by the power armor, and hitting the baffle of the sterile compartment behind him, making a dull impact.

Using spiritual power in conjunction with the laser transmitter that is on standby for firing, almost instantaneous countermeasures can be achieved.

No matter how fast the vine whip is, it can't be faster than the light beam.

Strictly speaking, the laser weapons here in the wasteland do not directly emit a beam of light.

Most of them emit plasma and particle beams in a concentrated manner.

A real laser beam has no visible trajectory at all.

Because its speed exceeds the limit of visual capture.

Even the best slow-speed observation equipment is difficult to effectively capture.

Unless it's in a lab.

But even so, the speed of beam energy weapons has reached a terrifying level.

It is far from comparable to a mere vine whip.

There were more and more particles floating ahead, but Rosen's spiritual thoughts were enough to extend to 50 meters away.

Especially in such a relatively cramped passage, you only need to let your spiritual thoughts extend in one direction.

In his mind, the laboratory became less like a building and more like the body of some weird creature.

The purple rhizomes are adsorbed on the wall like blood vessels and meridians.

All walls and floors are covered with a soft lilac substance.

He shook his head, which gave him a feeling of breaking through and moving forward.

Because the experimental area was relatively sensitive, Rosen was really constrained and did not dare to directly bombard it with heavy firepower. If the valuable equipment and artificial ovary were damaged, the gain would outweigh the loss.

At this time, the smoke in the passage behind him had almost dissipated.

Just when he was about to fire a few electromagnetic rapid-fire cannons to clear the way, and then let the war slaves help in the battle.

Several urgent warnings came from the channel, and there was also the faint sound of landmines detonating.

"Report! A large number of unknown parasites have appeared!"

"Defend on the spot, I'll come right away!"

The situation outside has changed, and it is not suitable to head directly to the experimental area at this time.

It's easy to be attacked from both sides, which is a big no-no when going deep into action!
But as soon as he finished speaking, dozens of purple vine whips suddenly appeared within the perception of his spiritual mind.

Laser launchers and electromagnetic rapid-fire cannons immediately came into play.

Arc flashes and beams of light flashed within the passage.

The mutated plants hidden in the experimental area were obviously prepared this time.

The number of vine whips exceeded the threshold that Rosen could instantly counter.

As a result, six or seven vine whips still hit the power armor of the Forsaken.

They are very powerful and their whip bodies are extremely tough.

But that's all, and it's not enough to break through the power armor's defense.

At most, it's just a few anti-laser patches removed.

However, whipping is only incidental damage. The real method of these vine whips is to entangle them.

I saw them wrapping around the waist and limbs of the abandoned person.

Rosen didn't care about hiding his clumsiness, and directly took out the high-frequency cutting saber out of thin air from the [Consciousness Space].

With a wave of his backhand, he cut off three or four of them.

But before he could continue to swing the knife, the remaining vine whip suddenly tightened.

Because of the lack of balance, after a huge force hit, the several-ton power armor was actually pulled down directly.

Just dragging it towards the depths of the laboratory.

The lopsided partition doors along the way looked as if they had been raked by battering rams, and the sound of collisions echoed throughout the aisles.

The purple gelatinous object attached to the wall was squeezed away, and the hard power armor rubbed against the wall of the experimental area, creating a series of sparks.

The five metal fingers on Rosen's right arm bounced up and inserted directly into the ground.

Then the rocket launchers attached to the legs activate.

Two jets of recoil flames spurted out, using brute force to contain the pulling force.

Several mini-missiles hidden in the thigh armor were fired directly at the stretched vine whips.

Several fireballs that were not too shocking exploded.

After the restraints were lifted, Rosen immediately controlled the power armor and stood up.

Now I don't care about going back to support those war slaves.

There are fire-breathing soldiers and cryo-gun soldiers, plus the fire suppression of rapid-fire machine guns.

As long as they don't run around, they should be able to guard the entrance to the experimental area.

At least a few minutes can still be gained.

"The situation is not right, please strengthen your defenses!"

"The team that came in with me stayed in the experimental area, waiting for me to come out!"

Rosen reminded in the communication channel in a hurried tone.

He was more worried that parasites would escape.

In that case, the situation becomes more complicated!

Barely made any stops.

Another twenty or thirty vine whips came from within the range of spiritual perception ahead.

The grenade launcher on his right arm shot out 40mm high-explosive grenades one after another like a champagne cork, and he didn't care to hold back at this moment.

If he couldn't charge in with the power of thunder, he might have to fight with those vine whips all the time.

Six violent explosions appeared.

The sudden expansion of the fireball made the dark passage brighter.

Laser launchers and electromagnetic rapid-fire cannons followed suit.

Under such circumstances, those vine whips were smashed into pieces before they even got close.

A grenade launcher that clears its magazine will automatically replace it with a new round.

Rosen advanced instead of retreating. The vortex engine behind him emitted arc light, which caused the sliding speed of his feet to accelerate suddenly. Overcoming the obstacles of layers of debris, he quickly approached the core of the experimental area.

All the vine whips come from there.

The mutant plant suspected of being the parent must be there!
He took out the Photoeye 2057 laser sword and the high-frequency vibration saber respectively.

In close combat, many thermal weapons may not be as effective as mechanical weapons.

And the two are not in conflict.

Two waves of vine whips were destroyed in succession, and when the third wave of vine whips struck, they became much sparser.

Rosen easily cut them off with his laser sword and high-frequency vibrating saber.

The sliding system and scroll engine underfoot did not stop.

In just a few seconds, they crossed the remaining distance and officially broke into the core of the experimental area.

It was quite a testing ground.

Inside are cylindrical cabins with mechanical bases and complex pipelines.

These cabins are placed about 2 meters apart from each other.

Just the artificial ovary the golden ear needs!
There are at least fifty sets of artificial houses in the entire core area.

However, not all artificial ovaries are intact.

Looking around, the central two-thirds are occupied by tangled mutant plants.

Countless thick roots gathered from the periphery to the center, twisting into a weird twist-like tree.

Those rhizomes are connected to core tubes in the artificial ovary.

Light green liquid continuously gushes out from the base. It is quickly absorbed by the roots and turns into purple sap.

And in the middle of the trees was an old man's head.

The old man's face was haggard, his eyes were tightly closed, and he looked as dead as a ghost.The floor height of the experimental area is about ten meters.

This mutated tree is lush and green, and its crown covers the top like an umbrella.

The vine whips that were flying and swaying before all emerged from the gaps in the tree.

When Rosen suddenly broke in.

Sections of new vines suddenly sprouted out of the gap.

Each one is stained with mucus, and this weird texture combined with tough vines makes them look more like soft tentacles.

At the same time, the old man's head suddenly opened his eyes.

It had no pupils, and its eyes were all purple that was so thick that it couldn't be melted away.

"Ugh..."

The corners of his wrinkled lips were grinning. This guy's teeth had already fallen out.

The severely damaged vocal cords made a dull and unpleasant friction sound.

It sounded like a roar of pain.

Without any hesitation, the Shenguang-2 generation beam energy particle cannon in Rosen's left arm had been charged on the way here.

A green beam as thick as an arm surged out.

It rippled in the air and accurately hit the weird head in an instant.

No matter what the hell it is, let's fire a particle cannon first.

The high-energy particle beam annihilated the head instantly, turning it into ashes in the light and shadow.

Then the entire tree body was penetrated.

As if in the blink of an eye, part of the strange tree was missing.

There is also an orange light shining at the breach, which is the trace left by the high temperature attached to the beam.

After that weird head was blown off, the new vine whips that appeared became crazy.

They pulled roughly from the gap, like restless loaches.

Rosen had no intention of stopping, and the electromagnetic rapid-fire cannon continued to fire at a rate of 2 rounds per second.

This strange and gaudy tree gave him a very bad feeling.

What's more, the experimental area is being attacked by unknown parasites, and he has no time to waste time here.

As for those man-made houses, it’s up to the extent that they can be saved. If they can’t be saved, just pull them down.

At the very least, you can bring back a lot of wreckage.

It can be seen that the core component of the so-called artificial ovary equipment is the disc-shaped base.

Secondly, there are all kinds of messy pipes.

The most fragile outer layer of high-strength glass cover is insignificant.

At this juncture, I don’t really care about that much.

The 0.85KG mass bombs are like oval-shaped plums, flying away with strong kinetic energy at a speed of Mach [-] to Mach [-].

Coupled with the head-to-head characteristics of tungsten alloy, each shot can blast a gap as big as a bowl of ocean in the strange tree.

The new vine whip, still stained with mucus, whipped towards the face and was immediately cut off by Rosen's backhand.

An old dog can't learn new tricks.

After suffering a small loss, it became difficult for the same tricks to hurt Rosen again.

After only ten seconds, the surface of the strange tree became as bumpy as the moon.

"report!"

"There are parasites at the entrance to the shelter trying to leave!"

"The number is about a hundred!"

"I have followed your orders to fight back!"

Suddenly, the voice of the war slave guarding outside came from the channel.

Accompanied by intensive gunfire, it proved that the fighting there was extremely fierce.

Rosen frowned slightly, although he had predicted in advance that there might be a trick to attack the east and attack the west.

But he didn't expect the other party to strike so quickly.

In order to snatch the man-made ovary, he had to fight fiercely in the [0741] subdivision.

Fortunately, around the opened door of the shelter, the remaining 100 or so war slaves had already arranged layers of blockades.

In addition, on his orders, three flame strips doused with flammable oil were deployed.

The above-mentioned methods can very well curb the raids of those parasites.

And the firepower of more than 100 war slaves was enough to completely suppress the exit of the shelter.

This is like a bag formation. As long as the firepower and position are superior, blocking the opening will naturally be the most advantageous.

But the advantages are also relative.

If the number of those parasites reaches a certain threshold, it is possible to break through the blockade.

In any case, the situation here has become increasingly serious.

The situation outside is changing rapidly, but here in Rosen, the overall situation has been decided.

Without the parasite, how could this mutated mother tree resist a powerful weapon made of iron and fire?

Even though his body was made of iron, resisting such an attack would only end in destruction.

After being bombarded by more than 20 consecutive rounds of 0.85KG mass bombs, the strange tree was almost torn apart at the waist.

The gaps where the vine whips could emerge were smashed, exposing the structure with air holes.

The number of vine whips that emerged became less and less, and soon the entire strange tree fell down.

But it's not completely dead yet.

A large number of twigs sprouted from the break,
There is also half a faceted crystal emitting fluorescent green embedded in it.

Those thin branches mainly wrap around the crystal.

Rosen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he rushed over with two swords in hand.

The laser sword and saber roughly chopped open the tree next to it.

Then he stretched out his hand to fish it out, and the strange crystal as big as a melon was pulled out by its roots.

A large number of thin branches are attached to the surface of the crystal, like veins connecting the heart.

He directly put the crystal into the [Consciousness Space].

The remains of the strange tree in front of me lost all its vitality in an instant.

All the trees were visibly withered.

"Master, there are too many parasites outside the experimental area!"

"It's... they're all children in the shelter!"

"We can't stand it any longer!"

Before he could clean up the battlefield, another call for help came from the team guarding outside the experimental area.

Rosen frowned slightly and could only order them to withdraw into the passage, narrow the defense area, and reduce the pressure of dispersing firepower.

After dealing with this matter, he began to quickly clean up the battlefield.

Directly cut off the energy pipeline, collect a few sets of those seemingly intact artificial ovaries in the [Consciousness Space], and pile the rest in the corner.

Rosen then discovered a headless corpse wearing a blue jumpsuit and a white coat next to the wall.

The corpse had been dehydrated and turned into a mummy. From the broken neck, the dead branches inside the body could be seen. It didn't take much to think about it. This corpse must be the owner of the strange tree head.

And it should have been the supervisor of the [0741] partition during its lifetime.

Because Rosen found the ID card and permission card clipped in his pocket.

He also took off the smart terminal on the corpse's wrist that was completely different from BP's.

After doing these things, another three or four minutes passed.

He is quick enough, but time is precious.

There were still many broken branches and vines on the ground that were twisted like living creatures, trying to find a host for parasitism. Rosen didn't bother to clean them up.

Through the life signal displayed on the terminal, the signals of three people from the team guarding outside have disappeared.

This means death.

He must return to the channel immediately for support.

Use the firepower of the power armor to kill the parasites.

The strategy operation is now in progress, and Rosen still has no intention of retreating.

From the moment he stepped in, he knew that a full-scale conflict had begun!

Parasites and mutant plants are troublesome, but they are not endless.

The shelter is full of treasures, and if it is fully occupied, it can be used as a stronghold.

Even if it doesn't work, you can dismantle all the available equipment and add it all to the camp.

Quickly return to the passage, and you can see the surging fire in the distance.

There are now only three of the four clustered flames left.

Relying on the passage in the experimental area, they confined their firepower within a certain range.

Even so, there are still a large number of mutants swarming in.

Those mutants were all short children.

The head and face are mostly covered with branches, and the arms and body are no exception.

Their hands turn into vine whips, and their mouths can spray juice containing volatile toxins.

There are only a few hours left to replace the smart filters of the war slaves.

It has shrunk a lot.

It can be seen that the concentration of unknown toxins is very high.

It was estimated that there were at least 200 mutants outside, swarming around to tear them apart.

These mutants are all children in the shelter.

Their bodies have been completely taken over by mutated plants.

The incoming parasites were quickly torn apart by the barrage, and then ignited by the sweeping fire dragon.

However, the fuel of the flamethrower is limited and cannot be sprayed all the time.

Fortunately, everyone still has a lot of conventional ammunition.

Each person's carrying case contains five bases of ammunition.

Rosen's appearance gave them a backbone.

To be honest, this kind of defensive battle where the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered is the most disturbing.

This is especially true when facing these extraordinary monsters.

This is because all war slaves are used to seeing mutant creatures, and their endurance is far greater than that of ordinary people.

Rosen said nothing and no longer had any concerns about saving ammunition.

This road must be cleared, at least to ensure the smooth flow of the [0741] subdivision.

Then they can cooperate with the war slaves outside.

Regardless of the cost, completely open the road from [assembly area] to [0741] subdivision!
Rosen's electromagnetic rapid-fire cannon still has more than 140 rounds of ammunition in reserve, and the particle cannon has only fired two rounds.

The grenade launcher also has six groups of 36 high-explosive grenades available.

The laser launchers and mini-missiles were not used much.

Even taking a step back, he still has nuclear grenades and a spare Xiaowei No. 1 in his [Consciousness Space].

The worst case scenario is to detonate a nuclear grenade outside.

It is not powerful enough to destroy the shelter, and it cannot even reach the experimental area in complex terrain.

After knowing it well.

The electromagnetic rapid-fire cannon opened fire, and the suppressive firepower instantly increased.

The crazy influx of child parasites was strangled faster.

Their remains were piled up outside the passage, like a hell on earth.
