Bringing Life To The Wasteland!

Well...that gave me quite the startle, who would expect a sudden visitor as I was over at my Zion Valley Colony,

Luckily I managed to see the woman before she could leave.

So, as anyone would do, I had my Spore Carriers sneak up from behind and knock her out before carrying her into the vault where I locked her in an empty bedroom with only a bed before closing the sliding door and leaving three spore carriers outside the door.

Did I forget to mention that the woman was carrying a knife?

Instead of letting her keep the knife, a somewhat dangerous weapon, I instead had one of my Spore Carriers carry it until the need arises.

Well then, since she is unconscious she would be a perfect subject to test the seed for when she awakes...

Hours later, the woman awoke in the bedroom.

[Claire's POV]

Ugh...my head...

Reaching up for my head I began rubbing it as I looked around the room and froze...

What the hell...where am I?

This...this is not my room!

As I began panicking and freaking out I started searching around the room for any kind of weapon, since I didn't have my knife, I ȧssume whoever put me in here has it.

I looked around for about two minutes and the only thing in here was a bed!

As I continued to panic, a strange ethereal, and deep voice spoke in my head.

"Calm yourself, I mean you no harm as long as you mean me no harm," The Ethereal Voice spoke.

"Who said that?! Reveal yourself!" I shouted in fear as I looked around the empty room.

"I have no physical form," The Ethereal Voice replied.

"Then how do you speak to me!" I shouted.

"Through the seed implanted within you," The voice told me.

Feeling my body grow cold, I asked, "W-What seed?!"

"Exactly as it sounds, I planted a Seed within your skull, allowing for communication between the two of us, but do not worry, the seed only allows me to communicate with you," The Voice ȧssured which did give me a tiny bit of relief.

"Who...what are you?" I asked.

"I am Yggdrasil, the Guardian, and Caretaker of Nature," The voice responded.

"N-Nature? What do you m-mean?" I stuttered.

"How about I show you?" The voice asked before the sliding door on the opposite side of the room from the bed opened and revealed two...green plant men?

"Please follow my Carriers," The voice told me.

With my guard up, I followed behind the two strange plant people and found that as we walked through the corridors that we must have been in some kind of underground structure.

He led me up to the top floor of the structure and found ourselves at some kind of vault door...

"Wait, we're in a vault?! I heard the stories but I never thought one would be out here!" I shouted as I found myself standing in the familiar area of green I saw just hours previously.

"You see the green around you? The beautiful and lush grass along with the Mutfruit trees? This is Nature, and I will protect and care for it and help it grow to the point where the ruined world we live in will return to the point where every man, woman, and child will grow up seeing the beauty of nature once more," The Voice spoke.

"W-Why are you telling me this?" I asked.

"You see, I can't just let you go after discovering my home, so I decided to give you an offer, I want you to join me, I will provide you clean water and food, and even give you a good room and the vault, I can also guarantee your protection, and in exchange, I want you to work for me," The Void told me.

"I-I need some time to think," I told the voice.

"Then we will give you some time, in the meantime, you can stay here, let me know if you get hungry, thirsty, or if you need something," The Voice Told me.

He then had me follow the plant men back to the room I awoke in where I lied down and got lost in my thoughts.

[MC's POV]

Well...that went better than I would have thought...

I even got to watch the Neural Implant Seed in action, it is kind of disappointing that the Neural Implant Seed only lets me telepathically communicate with the person, I can't use it for anything else besides that.

Well, at least I can also see through the person's eyes as well which does make it slightly better.

Hopefully, I can lure the woman into working for me, I honestly would not like to have to kill her, I never killed anyone in my last life and would prefer to keep my streak in this life as well, but...with how bad this world is, my no-kill streak will end eventually whether I like it or not....
