In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone.

Chapter 115: Branches’ Poisonous Threat
"Uncle Hei! The tree man Beta and Shaman left the plane."

"You handle it. I have a work meeting here. In principle, as long as they don't harm the humans in the fortress, monitoring them is fine."

The black instructor fell silent after he finished speaking.

Wang Jixuan used his spiritual sense to investigate and found that the old man was tapping his fingers in the air, but there was no projection display in front of him.

'Is this an interface that only Mr. Hei can see?'

'The half-human mecha like Heidaya is fundamentally different from the fully autonomous mecha like Mudan, but their forms are quite similar.'

'Fantastic technology.'

Taoist Wang quickly put on the X-armor and activated the stealth device.

He was not very interested in that Shaman, but was very interested in the tree man Beta.

If possible, he would find a way to take appropriate action and collect some branches and leaves trimmed by the tree man Beta to determine their specific value.

Wang Jixuan just went out...

Eh?
He turned his head and looked at the loyal wingman R99 Peony, who had long dark blond hair and a perfect female figure, squatting quietly in the sand pit outside the door, alertly watching everywhere...

'You don't look very smart.'

Taoist Priest Wang gave up the idea of ​​taking a wingman on the mission and ducked down to the desert.

Mudan turned its head and looked in the direction where Wang Jixuan left, then continued to carry out the orders it had received before, squatting in the sand pit to do guard work.

There are three core logics of loyal wingman.

First, protect the superiors.

Second, obey the orders of your superiors.

Third, when the first two principles conflict, the first principle shall prevail.

This is significantly different from the three core principles of civilian autonomous machinery, namely the famous three laws of robotics.

……

The desert is dry and rainless, and most of the time the sky is clear, with stars at night and scorching sun during the day.

Shaman looked at the big sun in the sky, pursed her lips, frowned, and muttered a few words of complaint.

Because the two were not good at sudden investigations, they were only equipped with holographic belts and psychic shielding devices. Now they only needed to get a little closer to the surface camp of Fortress No. 82 to facilitate her to use her own abilities to explore.

"Right here, that should be enough distance."

Shaman raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face and said with a sad voice:
"It's so hard to risk your life with just this little subsidy a month!"

Treeman Beta asked, "Are you sure it's here?"

"Ah."

"Then I'll take root, coo coo coo."

The tree man Beta put his legs together and slowly inserted them into the sand. In just a few breaths, fibrous roots like a capillary network formed under the sand dune.

These fibrous roots extend continuously downward and outward.

This is the third unique skill of Tree Man Beta!

In this way, the tree man Beta can observe any movement within a range of 300 meters. Moreover, as the rooting time gets longer, the more fibrous roots there will be, and the detection range will be longer.

This sounds a bit useless. It takes a long time to prepare each time and it can only be done on natural land. He is helpless when encountering concrete and metal floors.

But when exploring the underground caves of the blade beasts, the tree man Beta can often produce some unique effects with his third unique skill.

His first and second special skills are even more powerful.

[The first unique skill: photosynthesis].

As long as there is light and air, he will not feel hungry, and it can also improve the oxygen content in the environment.

[Second secret weapon: emergency food].

This is not just some bark he picked and boiled in water.

The tree man Beta can stimulate branches to grow on his head, arms, and back. These branches can be grafted onto fruit tree branches or vines. He can use psychic energy to nourish them, allowing these branches and vines to bloom and bear fruit quickly. A large amount of fruits and vegetables can be harvested in two hours, and can be repeatedly provided for later supplies.

These three unique skills are the three magic weapons of Tree Man Beta, which enable him to firmly sit in the position of the first logistics officer in Aunt Dragonfly's investigation team.

——Although he is the only logistics officer.

“The water content in the soil is so low.”

The tree man Beta took out a bottle of mineral water that he carried with him, tilted his head back and took two sips, then squatted down, releasing the optical invisibility and maintaining the psychic shielding.

The 'hair' on his head began to grow continuously, and soon branches appeared, like small willow trees, providing a green shade.

The tree man Beta took out a cushion from his backpack and made a gesture of invitation to Shaman.

Shaman muttered, "Why do you have to prepare so thoroughly?"

"I'm a logistics officer, and this is my job," the tree man Beta explained quickly, "Please don't get me wrong, I'm not interested in normal human women, and my current method of reproduction is asexual reproduction."

Shaman rolled her eyes and sat cross-legged on the cushion, facing the surface camp of Fort No. 82 across the sand dunes.

She played with the crystal ball with both hands; her movements were graceful and smooth, her pretty face had a sacred feel, and she kept humming.

Not far behind the two of them, Wang Jixuan quietly approached within ten meters.

Wang Jixuan narrowed his eyes and stared at Shaman...and the back of the tree man Beta beside him.

Branches full of spiritual power!
I just don't know if his spiritual power will dissipate immediately if these branches are pulled off his head.

Taoist Wang pondered for a few seconds and squatted there thinking carefully.

That Shaman...

Wang Jixuan's spiritual sense took a few glances and understood everything.

She is a telekinetic psychic among the four categories. At this moment, some ripples appeared between her eyebrows. Some of the ripples merged into the crystal ball, gained a certain amplification, and spread to the military camp on the surface of the fortress.

Soon, Shaman's slender body trembled slightly, and suddenly began to mutter continuously.

The tree man Beta took a recorder and pointed it at Shaman's mouth.

Shaman's voice was sometimes low and sometimes light, and she said in different tones:
"Ah, I wonder if that damned Biology Minister Nagi Hamanaka will be sentenced to death."

"The death penalty is unlikely. He might be shot in the back in prison and then announced as a suicide. This would have lower political risks."

"She actually allowed a psyker to control our commander."

"Alas, the commander committed suicide after breaking free of this restraint. I don't know who the new commander is. I heard that the Archon is also going to resign. This is all the fault of those rubbish psykers. Why should the Archon bear the responsibility?"

Shaman paused, stretched her arms forward and raised them horizontally, and the crystal ball in her palm slowly floated.

She probed a little further and repeated:

"The Task Force's X-Armor is so cool!"

"Yes, he really was like a devil from hell. He wiped out dozens of psychics, including several C-rank psychics, all by himself."

"Seeing that the war zone is still developing this kind of high-end combat power, I feel relieved. Maybe we can really make a miniaturized terrifying mecha and kill all the king-level blade beasts."

"Not optimistic. We still have too little information about the Blade Beasts."

"We are of a relatively low rank and have access to less intelligence. The higher-ups may have figured out where the blade beasts came from, but they didn't announce it for fear of causing panic. Let's keep working hard..."

Shaman kept repeating while Beta provided shade and recorded the story.

Wang Jixuan felt like laughing when he saw this.

This method of exploration is somewhat similar to the use of spiritual consciousness. Every telekinetic psychic has the opportunity to develop spiritual consciousness, but they do not have such skills or such a path.

At this moment, Master Wang is still trying to find a way to pull some branches from the tree man Beta's head. What should he do?

It was somewhat unsafe to attack directly. Although the X-armor was not connected to the Black Storm, there was a Dragonfly Captain more than 200 meters behind these two people.

No one knows what Captain Dragonfly's abilities are, but both Beard and Instructor Black have said that she is a little scary.

Wang Jixuan thought again of the huge ball of ice and fire that fell from the sky.

'It should not be underestimated.'

Wang Jixuan raised his left arm and activated a small projection screen. After operating for a while, he finally entered the garrison command system of Fort No. 82.

Because he didn't know how to give orders, Wang Jixuan didn't do anything random. Instead, he found an officer on duty on the surface and sent him a few messages.

A few minutes later, more than a dozen quadcopter drones took off from the base and explored the periphery.

Two drones flew towards Shaman and the tree man Beta.

Wang Jixuan's X-Armor connected to the two drones on its own and activated two rapid-fire machine guns.

"There's a drone!" the tree man Beta shouted anxiously.

"Get down!"

Not far ahead, the tree men Beta and Shaman lay down at the same time. Their holographic belts worked synchronously, and they immediately became optically invisible. The light around them was a little dim.

Shaman suddenly kicked Beta: "Look at your head!"

The branches that had just grown out of the tree man were now exploding outwards and were not within the holographic coverage of the holographic belt.

Against the desert background, this patch of green is particularly eye-catching.

Beta acted decisively, took out the military dagger he carried with him, slashed it over his head, then dug the soil with his hands and quickly buried the branches.

The drone had actually spotted them both;

But Taoist Wang chose to clear the real-time data of the drone, help them hide, and let the drone fly around the two people's hiding place.

Taoist Wang waited quietly, his heart burning with anxiety.

Shaman and Shuren didn't investigate any further. After the drone flew away, they carefully returned to the plane.

After they went around one side of the sand dune, Wang Jixuan went straight forward, pulled out the branches, attached the demon-suppressing talisman, completely wrapped them with Qi, then turned around and ran back to the temporary supply station.

The tree man Beta might be able to sense these branches, so Wang Jixuan had to be more careful.

Soon, Wang Jixuan waved his arms excitedly.

it works!

These branches that are stimulated by spiritual energy are full of spiritual power and made of special materials, making them the perfect talisman paper for making talismans!

It's just that his magic power is not enough now, and he can't suppress the spiritual power fluctuations of the high-level talisman, so this thing is useless for the time being.

"It's better to have something than nothing. Every great cultivator has a collection of magical storage treasures, which are filled with the accumulation of cultivation."

Wang Jixuan tore the branches into small pieces, used his Qi to lock the spiritual power within them, took a box and put them all in it, and began to think about how to get more branches of the 'Tree Man Beta'.

A rare opportunity.

When he returned to the temporary supply station with the box, the plane had not left. Apparently, Shaman and the tree man Beta still thought they had not been exposed.

Just ...

Wang Jixuan looked at the peonies who were still squatting in the sand pit outside the door, observing the peonies everywhere tirelessly.

"After all, it's just a mechanical body, and its spirituality is still not enough."

Taoist priest Wang stopped and asked, "Can you use the instruments inside?"

Mudan immediately raised her head, her peach blossom eyes showing a hint of anticipation, and said cautiously:
"Peony can load any operation manual and maintenance manual."

"That's great. Come in and keep an eye on those instruments and help me inspect the armor."

"Peony is happy to help you."

There was a hint of smile on its lips, expressing its happy emotion at the right time.

Uncle Hei is still in the meeting.

There are not many second-generation semi-human mechas now, and each second-generation semi-human mecha plays an important role in the D5 war zone, so it is normal to be busy.

Wang Jixuan was also not idle. He watched Mudan's working status for a while and found that she was a hundred times more skilled in operating those radars and detectors than he, a layman, so he felt relieved to go back and continue his practice.

Although there is no shortage of crystal cores for the time being, the conflict between the Psionic City and the D5 war zone is escalating, and he also feels the urgency to improve his strength.

Wang Jixuan had been practicing for only two hours when Mudan gently knocked on his door.

"Sir, there is a situation. I have captured the communication between the target investigation team and the Psionic City, and I am eavesdropping on their conversation."

"coming."

Wang Jixuan immediately perked up, turned off the Spirit Release Formation, and put on comfortable shorts and a shirt.

When he came out, the black instructor was already standing behind the operating table with his hands behind his back.

The loyal wingman Peony, wearing a black maid outfit, black stockings and a cat hairpin, was looking at the instrument panel meticulously.

Wang Jixuan: ...

No, these instruments actually have so many interfaces that he had not discovered before!
He stood with his hands behind his back with Old Black, who bumped him with his shoulder and said with a smile, "How about this wingman?"

"Amazing."

"There are many skills that humans need to learn, and machines only need to load," Instructor Hei laughed, "This is just the tip of the iceberg of her abilities...Did you touch it? Does the texture feel the same as a real person?"

"Can you please be more serious..."

Wang Jixuan frowned and looked at this disrespectful guy.

Without even turning her head, Mudan responded in a calm tone, "Humans will always become obsessed with things they desire but cannot obtain. This old instructor who failed in his attempt to evolve into a mechanical life form no longer has the ability to enjoy these pleasures. Sir, you should be more considerate of him."

Instructor Hei couldn't help but raise his hand to support his forehead: "Can you turn off her poisonous tongue system?"

Wang Jixuan could no longer suppress his anger: "Mudan, what is your poisonous tongue system now?"

Mudan immediately said in a delicate tone: "Forty percent, sir, that's part of the humor system."

"Adjust this portion alone to 60 percent."

Instructor Hei kicked over, but Wang Jixuan dodged nimbly and Mudan immediately carried out the order.

At this moment, a crackling noise came from the instrument, and the sound of Aunt Dragonfly talking to an old man appeared again.

It all started with the old man saying:

"How have you considered it? Dragonfly, you are not young anymore. If you cannot enter S-level, you may only have ten or twenty years left to live. This is an opportunity. We don't ask you to do anything else. We just need you to produce a report."

"Report on Fortress No. 82 with a hazard rating of S."

"As long as you give it to me, you can come back immediately and get a promotion and a raise. I will give you a ticket to apply for S-level resources, and our entire control system will not have to bear any extra burden... Even if you don't give it to me, it will only be a little more troublesome for me, but the result will not change, and you will never be able to get S-level resources."

zizi.

"Sir?"

Aunt Dragonfly took a deep breath, as if letting the smoke pass through her lungs, and then said in her hoarse voice:

"I only do my job. This is my principle and my professional ethics. Oh, by the way, there is one more thing...

"Fuck you!"
