The Miniature Cataclysm has transformed humans into small figures about 7 centimeters tall, and all insects and animals covet their flesh and blood. However, they once again overcame another attack with human wisdom and courage, as well as discipline and order.
This battle did not last long, but the casualties were still quite heavy. Among the 215 people, 38 were killed by direct attacks from mice, cockroaches, and Jingba dogs, 27 were seriously injured, and nearly 70 were lightly injured.
More than twenty vehicles were damaged, including two Type 92 tanks, one was scrapped and the other was heavily damaged.
The counting and sheltering of casualties have been carried out in an orderly manner, and the disaster has been reduced for half a year. The exploration and combat missions of the shelter have also been carried out intermittently for half a year. They have gained a lot of experience in this area and are almost numb to the deaths of their comrades.
According to an Awakener's analysis, these things are likely to come from the huge plant in the rooftop garden.
At the request of Shen Jiayi, the team split out half of their armed forces and went straight to the outside of the garden, immediately sampling and analyzing this large plant.
Two typhoons wreaked havoc on the rooftop garden. All kinds of decorative items and decorative flowers and plants around have scattered everywhere, but this plant still stands tall.
On the other side of the corridor glass door, which cannot be seen, the bottom of this plant hangs branches, each with several withered flower buds. These flower buds come in different sizes, with smaller ones only having a diameter of 2 centimeters. The larger one reaches 13 centimeters.
This is very unscientific because in urban gardens, it is rare to plant plants with such large flowers.
Mutation is the best explanation for these scenes in front of us.
These withered flower buds are all dripping with foul smelling mucus. The soldiers carefully checked and found that there were still dead insects inside two flower buds.
This confirms Tom's speculation that the mice, insects, and even the five Jingba dogs that attacked them are likely to have emerged from these withered flower buds.
Number 5 quickly recalled Tom's mention of the missing 17th and others. He quickly ordered everyone to increase their guard, and then let the armored awakener act as a vanguard to approach the foundation of the mutated plant, intending to first test its reality and emptiness.
As soon as the talent leaned in, bullets hit them beside them. Fortunately, the two awakened individuals quickly activated the crystal barrier, which prevented them from being harmed.
Bullets were shot from the branches and leaves of plants, and under Tom's command, the mutated little black cat bell sprayed an air compressor towards the suspicious spot. The green leaves scattered and the three figures were lifted up.
The Armored Awakener immediately rushed forward and held down these three people. Naked, their expressions were dull and they struggled to resist, but ordinary people were no match for those wearing armor. They were easily controlled by three strikes, five strikes, and two strikes.
After identification, these three people are the missing soldiers from the 6th floor camp.
This once again confirmed Tom's speculation that the 17th and others were hypnotized by a mysterious sound and ran to the 5th floor, brainwashed by this plant.
The awakened ones quickly attacked, climbed up the branches, and cut off the small and large flower buds that were about to bloom. As expected, the missing soldiers were found in multiple flower buds, including number 17.
Unfortunately, except for the three soldiers who were captured just now, all the people who were liberated from their flower buds have lost their breath. After repeated confirmation by medical personnel, it has been confirmed that they have died and have no physiological activity characteristics.
Although prepared early, Tom still felt very uncomfortable when he saw the body of the missing 17th and others.
On two trips to carry out tasks, the 17th from the Special Investigation Department, as the overall leader, showed a very serious and responsible attitude, and also trusted Tom very much. Compared to Shen Jiayi's emphasis on him, the trust of the 17th is reflected in every command.
Looking at the neatly arranged corpses, Shen Jiayi personally led the team to bow and salute them, thanking them for their dedication to the exploration mission of the shelter. Later, Tom decided to engage in spiritual communication with this plant because he felt that since it could hypnotize ordinary people, would it have intelligence or
Shen Jiayi agreed to his request and on the 5th, dispatched an awakener who could also enhance the awakener's ability to assist, just like Liao Jinglei did in the beginning. Tom originally intended to refuse, but considering the unknown risks, he reluctantly agreed.
Amidst the eager gazes of the crowd, Tom activated the green crystal and slowly walked up to the foundation of this tall plant, touching his hand with a green glow.
Just pressed for a while, but Tom didn't get a response and nothing happened.
He tried twice again, but still had no effect.
So he sighed and gave up trying, saying to Shen Jiayi, "Mr. Shen, we can't communicate."
Shen Jiayi said coldly, "Try again."
Number 5 nodded at him, and he could only reach out his hand again. He tried a few more times, but still found nothing.
At this moment, Shen Jiayi snorted coldly and said, "Waste."
This gave Tom a strange feeling. In his impression, Shen Jiayi was not very good at expressing such strong emotions to employees. Often, she was like a bystander, calm and restrained.
He turned to look at Ouyang Haotian again, but saw his good friend looking at him with a disappointed expression on his face, as if saying, "It's really useless."
This is not right!
Tom's heart suddenly shook. Ouyang Haotian never said anything about him, and his friend had never looked up to Shen Jiayi. Shen Jiayi said that to him, his friend had already exploded.
"Where is this?" Tom turned around and saw that the others around were still busy with their own affairs, completely indifferent to Tom.
After thinking for a moment, Tom took out his pistol and took two steps towards Shen Jiayi, with the muzzle firmly pressing against her head. This poked a hornet's nest, and everyone pulled out their weapons at him. Number 5 angrily cursed, "What are you doing?"
"Who am I!" Tom grabbed Shen Jiayi and blocked himself, then asked sternly, "Tell me who I am."
"Hurry up and let the lady go!" exclaimed Number 5 anxiously.
Ouyang Haotian almost couldn't help but pounce, only to see him scolding loudly, his saliva splashing out: "Hurry up and let Miss go!"
Tom smiled and directly pulled the trigger with the gun against Shen Jiayi's head.
Blood splattered and the jade body softened. The helmsman of the Haiwei Mini Industry immediately collapsed to the ground, while everyone holding a gun pointed at Tom remained motionless and motionless.
"Haozi, thank me for doing what you want to do the most. Of course... I also did things that I wouldn't do normally, even in a fantasy world." Tom chuckled and muttered, then loudly asked around, "I found out what you did. Come out."
Shen Jiayi, who had been hit by Tom's head, suddenly rose up and floated in front of Tom, looking at him with her broken head, which had been hit by a bullet and had blood and brain plasma popping out.
Looking at his own masterpiece, Tom felt a bit guilty. After all, Shen Jiayi had sent people to look for him several times, and he still trusted him so much. However, he ended up breaking their heads, even though it was only in a fantasy world.
The strange behavior of Ouyang Haotian and Shen Jiayi made him realize that what he was seeing was not reality. It should be that as soon as he touched the plant to activate the ability, he was already dragged into this illusion. It's just that the other party fabricated a real-life scene to deceive Tom, but unexpectedly Tom caught through.
The plant that creates the illusion probably knows their relationship, but it doesn't understand everyone's way of interacting with Tom. At least Shen Jiayi appears to be very strict and unfriendly towards her subordinates, but Tom knows she is not a sharp and harsh person.
So he chose to take Shen Jiayi hostage and shoot her to death, so that the other party could not let everyone shoot at him. Once fired, it would definitely not be possible to kill Tom, which naturally exposed the situation.
This is not an adventure, but Tom has already confirmed that it is a fantasy.
The guy disguised as Shen Jiayi's "corpse" in front of me finally sacrificed himself. He said in Shen Jiayi's voice, "I have no ill intentions... I just can't control myself... I'm too scared, I need someone to protect me."
"Who are you?" Tom asked.
The surrounding environment immediately changed, and Tom immediately placed himself next to a swimming pool. Then he saw a woman wearing a three point swimsuit, with fair skin and slender thighs, lying on a beach chair wearing sunglasses, playing with her phone.
This is an indoor swimming pool, and Tom carefully identified it as the thermostatic swimming pool located on the 5th floor of Jinrui Hotel.
At this moment, a woman wearing sunglasses walked in, and Tom recognized that it was the woman he had seen from the surveillance footage, who seemed to be Wen Si Tian.
At this moment, there were not many people in the swimming pool, and several men and women were playing in the pool. There was no one around the woman lying on the beach chair.
Wen Sitian quietly walked up to the lying woman and lightly touched her. She felt as if she had been electrocuted and then relaxed. After a while, she stood up and followed Wen Sitian out in a daze. Walking all the way, they arrived at the rooftop garden, where there was no one in the garden.
Wen Sitian arrived at a remote grassy area, brushed it aside and pointed. The wooden woman then crawled into the grass and lay down. Then Wen Sitian squeezed open her mouth, fed her a pill, checked again, and left.
Under the cool evening breeze, the wooden woman wearing a bikini remained motionless with her eyes closed.
Then the screen went black, and when it lit up again, a plant trunk grew out of the grass. Tom crouched down and saw that the plant had broken through a woman's body, which was undoubtedly brought out by Wen Sitian's previous control.
"Is this your background?" Tom asked.
The same appearance captured Shen Jiayi's appearance, and the woman covered her face and wept as she answered, "Yes, that malicious woman controlled me and used me as the nourishment for this magical flower."
"Magic Flower?"
The woman nodded and said, "I gave it a name. When I woke up, I realized I couldn't move anymore, so I wanted someone to save me... As a result... wuwuwu... someone really came to me, but they were all too small. As soon as they came to me, they crawled into the bud of this magical flower, and then I felt their fear... They stood right in front of me, just like you are now, talking about their fear."
As expected by Tom, the woman's longing and longing for people were amplified into whispers that attracted ordinary people, making people approach her like hypnosis, and finally burrow into the flower bud.
"Are those insects, mice, and so on the same?"
The woman nodded again and said, "Although those things were reluctant, they still came over. Some of them didn't want to come, so they all ran away."
This explains why there are no other insect creatures in the five or six layers, either captured by this plant or they all ran away.
"How are my comrades doing?" Tom immediately asked about the situation of the 17th and others.
"They... don't want to be friends with me, just like some ants, and soon they will be silent... After a while, they will be absorbed into nutrients by this plant like other insects."
Although the expected 17th and others were hopeless, he still held a glimmer of hope, but it seems unlikely now.
"Why attack us?" This is Tom's most concerned question.
The woman hesitated for a moment before answering, "Someone... he told me that you will soon come and uproot me. If you uproot the root of the magic flower on my body, I will die... I want to die... I don't want to."
"Who told you that? When?"
"He... has a very tall figure... just a few days ago at the campsite on the sixth floor... ah... ah..." Before the woman could finish speaking, her entire thought space couldn't stop rolling and shaking. The next moment, the entire space was shattered. Tom opened his eyes and saw Ouyang Hao staring at him intently, while he was sweating profusely.
