My apocalyptic heroine has come true

Some people took hammers, some took electric welders, and they hammered on the outer wall of Shelter 2737. The picture on Fang Ming's mobile phone kept showing sparks and clanging sounds.

After raising the drone's altitude by ten meters and moving the camera, Fang Ming was able to see the situation clearly amidst the howling sandstorm.

There was a huge hole in the outer wall of Shelter 2737...

It seems like something exploded here.

Judging from the size of the surrounding deep pits, the explosion range is about three meters in diameter, and half a meter of the killing power is applied to the wall of Shelter 2737.

Fang Ming enlarged the image and carefully examined the hole in the wall.

The hole was very deep, but the wall of Shelter 2737 was also extremely thick, so the explosion did not actually blow through the wall directly.

But even so, it can be seen from the anxious expressions of these residents that such injuries are not safe for them.

They have to repair the wall before dark.

Fang Ming originally wanted to find an old acquaintance to ask about the situation, but his drone flew around the shelter several times and did not see Shi Si and Shi Yi, the brother and sister.

"Will my reserve troops be wiped out?"

Fang Ming thought with great concern.

He turned the camera, and as the picture moved downwards little by little, Fang Ming was surprised to find that there was more than one deep pit on the ground.

The potholes are one after another, and from a distance they look like a string of twisted candied haws winding for dozens of meters.

As if they had been detonated in series, these holes were arranged in a regular pattern.

"Is Vault 2737 developing new explosives?"

This was Fang Ming's first guess after seeing this picture.

If this is true, then the explosive power of this new type of explosive must be quite large.

However, such a powerful weapon should be thrown far away... Detonating it right at the foot of your own shelter is no different from suicide.

Fang Ming didn't think that Xiao Ba, the manager of Shelter 2737, was such a fool.

Test failure? Problem with the explosives formula?

Or was it that Shelter 2737 was attacked by a more powerful mutant species last night, forcing them to use this suicidal method to resolve the crisis?

Fang Ming planned to go directly to Xiao La, the superior, to find out.

He controlled the drone and flew into Shelter 2737.

Because the damage was quite serious, even the people sent by the administrator to guard the gate were called away, and Fang Ming had a smooth journey.

However, when going up the stairs around the corner.

Fang Ming suddenly felt dizzy.

Something clicked over his head.

It appears to be a sack.

The screen of the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft went black for a few seconds, and then the screen reappeared with a rustling sound.

Fang Ming saw the short-haired woman squatting in the corner.

This person was Shi Yi, whom Fang Ming had just tried to find.

Shi Yi grabbed the reconnaissance plane with both hands, as if grasping at the last hope, and the expression on her face was very urgent.

Fang Ming tried to get the reconnaissance plane to fly again, but the woman held it even tighter.

This resulted in the reconnaissance plane's camera being forced to focus on Shi Yi's enlarged oval face.

Xia Xiaochi, who was secretly looking at his watch in the Ark Shelter on the other side, puffed up his cheeks silently.

"...When will you redeem us?" Shi Yi asked urgently.

"'redemption'?"

Fang Ming felt that the word was used in a subtle way.

The prerequisite for "redemption" is that the other party is a resident of the Ark Shelter.

But Fang Ming never admitted this.

"There are two mistakes in the mutant species manual I wrote for you. I need to go back and revise them!" Shi Yi said seriously. "And the wind turbine drawings are missing two steps at the end!"

Fang Ming: "..."

Fang Ming was speechless.

These brother and sister are really calculating!

"What's with the explosion marks outside?"

Fang Ming did not pursue Shi Yi and Shi Si's actions. In this world, it was understandable to leave yourself a few more ways out.

"It's those mutant spiders."

Shi Yi confessed without reservation: "Those mutant spiders have evolved again, and among them there has appeared an individual that can self-destruct!"

"Self-destruction?"

Fang Ming was surprised by this answer.

"That's right, it's a conscious act of self-destruction!" Shi Yi said in a trembling voice.

"Yesterday, Shi Si and I discovered a cyan energy crystal inside a small mutant spider. I told the people in Shelter 2737 about this discovery, but they didn't take it seriously. As a result, an explosion occurred outside the shelter that evening..."

"At first, the administrator thought it was a man-made attack, but later, through night vision goggles, they saw that the source of the explosion came from those small mutant spiders!"

"Before, mutant spiders rarely appeared at night. I infer this is because they don't want to compete for resources with the mutant species that travel at night. After all, they operate in groups, and the complex conditions at night make it difficult for them to move. But recently, they've become more active... Perhaps they've evolved further, or perhaps their group has reached a certain level of cooperation, eliminating the need to 'give way' to ordinary mutant species at night, so they've become more unscrupulous."

"But this is not what I want to say most."

Shi Yi grabbed the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in his hand and said excitedly.

"I witnessed a small mutant spider explode this morning... Did you know that the energy crystals in their bodies can actually cause a chain reaction?!"

"A chain reaction between species?" Fang Ming hesitated and asked doubtfully.

This reminded him of the string of beads-shaped holes he had seen on the ground just now.

Obviously, if the exploding material is the energy crystal in the mutant spider's body, then the formation of these pits... requires many energy crystals to explode at the same time.

"No, no,"

Shi Yi shook her head vigorously, and Fang Ming saw a hint of fear in her eyes.

"This is what Shi Si deduced... He said that when these small mutant spiders explode, the energy waves generated by the energy crystals in their bodies will cause some kind of energy resonance, directly detonating the surrounding energy crystals!"

"..."

After hearing what Shi Yi said, Fang Ming fell into silence for a moment.

Her description...

Fang Ming actually felt very familiar.

Fang Ming vaguely remembers the first time he bought a turret and the first time he fired.

At that time, Xia Xiaochi was being chased by these mutant spiders. Fang Ming used the only energy points he had to fill the turret and then fired at these mutant spiders.

At that moment, a blue beam of energy shot out far away.

The turret, which originally had a maximum range of only one kilometer, produced a certain degree of energy resonance, detonating the energy crystal in the mutant spider's body, causing the energy to increase halfway, allowing it to be launched farther.

The energy beam also exploded at that time.

Fang Ming was wondering if the way these small mutant spiders 'self-destruct' was similar to the way he detonated them himself?

Suddenly, a very outrageous inference emerged in Fang Ming's mind.

These mutant spiders...

Don’t you have the ability to learn?

Simulating energy resonance, thereby causing 'self-detonation' and 'detonating' the surroundings.

This... is this still simple evolution?

"At that moment, I saw multiple lights. The only way their frequencies could be so synchronized was through resonance."

Shi Yi was afraid that Fang Ming would not believe her, so she quickly continued to add.

Not only was she nervous, Fang Ming himself was also sweating.

Thinking about how I was still hunting mutant species at night...

If the energy crystals in the bodies of those mutant species were detonated by a small spider.

Then the explosive power released by the energy crystal weighing one hundred grams... will be an estimate that is difficult to make.

Not only that.

Fang Ming also thought of another point.

The resonant self-destruction of those mutated spiders will seriously hinder the development of the Ark Shelter.

I originally planned to stay calm and develop first, and then complete an upgrade after accumulating 5000 energy points.

But now, the worst result is that I will not get any harvest for a long time.

Before those small mutant spiders appeared around the Ark Shelter...

We have to seize every second of development time.

"Where is Xiao Ba?"

After a long silence, Fang Ming asked.

He wanted to find Xiao La to customize the next plan and to inquire about more information.

"If you want to look for him, you probably won't be able to see him today. He just left not long ago."

"He ran away?"

"It shouldn't be that serious... He took two of his men out. I don't know if they went to trade supplies or to the ruins of Shelter 0331. I don't know his whereabouts."

"Don't you plan to use this opportunity to escape?" Fang Ming asked again.

When Shi Yi heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
