Chapter 23 The mastermind behind the scenes
The explosion caused a shock wave that spread in all directions.

The giant in the forest had just raised his head when he was hit in the face by the bronze bull cannon that came to support him and was pushed back to the ground.

It was also the first time that Zhou Yi saw the intensity of heavy fire suppression at close range.

At this time, a shadow ran out of the mushroom forest.

The Dark Warrior intercepted it.

The other party stopped hurriedly and spit out something.

"Master, Master, don't do it! It's me! It's your loyal Night Claw!"

Zhou Yi stopped everyone around.

This mushroom guardian had some scarred wounds on his body and purple-brown blood stains on his fur, making him look a little disheveled.

It panted and said, "Master, I'm glad you're here. I thought I was dead. The mushroom forest was blocked by a team of enhancers. They shot me with crossbows. I didn't dare to come out, nor did I dare to expose the mushrooms inside. I wanted to lure them away, but in the end I could only run inside..."

"Just now, a big monster revived from underground. I tried to break out, only to find out that you have taken over this place. Great, Master!"

"By the way, the mushrooms are still there. I brought them out."

It was only then that Zhou Yi noticed that what Night Claw spit out on the ground were several mud ball mushrooms, which were basically intact.

"Well done, thank you for your hard work."

Zhou Yi said something to comfort him.

"It's not hard, just do what you should do. Now that you are here, it's safe!" Ye Claw looked relieved and flattered him.

Zhou Yi turned his gaze back to the iron horse beside him: "What's the situation with the bronze bull?"

Tiema said, "It told me that there is something very dangerous in the mushroom forest, and its body is very strong. Tongniu asked us to evacuate here first, and it will try to delay that guy."

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment.

It seems that these two rocket launchers did not cause any substantial damage to the giant.

He immediately ordered the warrior crabs to gather the props and equipment left behind by the enhancers and retreat quickly.

At this time, the giant slowly stood up again from the dust.

The tanks in the distance opened fire again, and two rocket launchers dragged long red tails, turning into two night meteors to snipe the enemy.

However, this time, they were frozen in the air in front of the giant, as if captured by some strange force, causing them to turn into two suspended balls of light.

In the flying dust, thin strips grew out of the giant's body.

They weaved out a long, thin bone arm, the end of which unfolded into a cage-like cube, wrapping the two rocket launcher light balls.

The two balls of light seemed to melt and slowly flowed into the giant's body through the bony arms.

The voice of Hong Xun came into Zhou Yi's mind: "It transforms and absorbs the power of the artillery fire, turning it into the pure energy it needs."

"The strength and accuracy of this skill is beyond the C-level category, at least at the B-level. Considering that it has been dormant for many years and is in a poor state after just restarting, its body strength may also be B-level... It is extremely dangerous. We need to evacuate immediately."

Zhou Yi, however, had a strange look on his face.

Through the high-altitude camera of the Red Falcon, he saw the whole picture of the giant.

The giant was light gray all over, with stains all over its body, and a lot of sand and debris constantly falling off its body.

It is covered with holes all over its body, which is a real physical meaning. It has no head either, and its body is the same thickness from top to bottom, and is a straight and thick square prism.

The upper half of the giant's body was the most damaged, with a large slanted gap on the top, making it look like its head had been bitten off by something.

It's weird no matter how you look at it or describe it.

But these elements combined together formed something that Zhou Yi was very familiar with.

The so-called giant that cannot stand up is a tall building.

Its strange limbs and arms are made entirely of entangled steel bars.

Can buildings made of reinforced concrete also evolve life characteristics in the Dead Sea?

Zhou Yi asked Hong Shun with doubts. "If electromechanical life can be born, then architectural life can also be born, but their number is very small."

The drone replied: "They have different shapes and structures, and there are great differences between individuals. They are also called Dead Sea Aliens."

"Unlike mechanical and electrical life, which has clear regulations and guidelines, architectural life has been immersed in the Dead Sea environment for many years. It is not only affected by the radiation of the Dead Sea light, but also by various nearby life forms."

"A commonly accepted inference at present is that architectural life is the result of the collective evolution of many lives in a certain area. This includes the electromechanical life, flesh-and-blood light-producing species, and skeletons that come into contact with it."

"All kinds of life leave or die from the building, but their past behavior tracks and signals released will be retained in the building by the light film of the death light. With the continuous accumulation of life consciousness information, over time, under the high pressure field caused by the death light, the death light explosion and the catalysis of the torrent, there is a certain probability that architectural life will be born."

“It can be understood that they are a form of collective memory transformed into life.”

"It's a pity that we can't communicate with them at all, and they can't communicate with each other. Plus, they behave weirdly and do whatever they want. Their bodies are usually very strong, and they have all kinds of weird skills, so they are a walking natural disaster."

……

The broken high-rise giant stood in the mushroom forest, motionless, bathing in the sunlight, with a faint reflection on its surface, as if covered with a layer of oil film.

Zhou Yi was too familiar with this scene.

This big guy is absorbing the death light.

It has just awakened and is in urgent need of energy replenishment.

At present, the high-rise giant does not have any tendency to attack, but it is hard to say what it will do after it is fully charged.

Considering that it can directly absorb the heavy firepower of thermal weapons, if it goes crazy, its destructive power will be terrifying.

The camera on the front of the iron carriage flashed red. "First it was the strange weather, and then there was this level of monster... We can't continue farming until it leaves. Just passing by will destroy the entire farmland."

"Let's put the farm aside first. Safety comes first."

Zhou Yi said.

The bronze bull remained silent. It was towing a container of fertilizer, and the four rockets mounted on the front of the vehicle had been fired. The two cannons on the top were still aimed at the giant, keeping alert.

"My brother said that the guy's body strength is too high, and the gap between it and the opponent is too big, so it is impossible to stop it. It thinks that it has to find a way to lure the monster away, otherwise the guy is a super time bomb that may go berserk at any time."

Tiema relayed the opinions of his socially phobic brothers.

"I think so."

Zhou Yi looked at Tie Ma: "I'm curious, why do you have fake weapons, but Tong Niu is equipped with such powerful firepower?"

"Well, since you and I have a life-long friendship, it's okay to tell you."

The lights on the Iron Horse flashed: "I was originally a traditional farm machine, and I continued to do my job after awakening. The Bronze Bull is different. It was a multi-functional combat vehicle before, and originally had many years of battlefield experience, but later it didn't want to fight anymore, so it changed its job and modified its body."

"But it was once a veteran warrior after all, and the weapons it is equipped with are also from previous stockpiles. We can just use them as a deterrent, and they can come in handy at critical moments."

"I didn't expect that I couldn't use it at all before, but this time I met a guy who couldn't be beaten at all."

Zhou Yixin said, "So that's it."

According to Red Falcon's bird's-eye view, the activation of the giant was the final counterattack taken by the enhancer Luan Zuo. But for some reason, the giant did not start a massacre directly, but was just quietly charging.

"Master, I know something about the situation."

Night Claw next to him suddenly said something.

"When I was hiding in the mushroom forest before, I found a lot of human figures entering the giant's body. They were all black hand mushrooms. I suspect that those guys controlled the giant. That's why the giant was able to react quickly and block our attack."

Black hand mushroom?
Zhou Yi immediately asked Hongshun to further scan the tall building giant.

On the screen of the remote control, I could see figures hurrying in the window holes. They were busy and no one knew what they were doing inside.

Through the gaps, one could see that large amounts of mushrooms and soil were being sent from the bottom to each upper level by human figures.

The damaged high-rise building has turned into a mushroom kingdom.

Zhou Yi was shocked.

No.

Do these black mushrooms really treat the Alien as a Gundam?
