Wasteland: I Awakened A Plant System

Dear Readers,

A big thank you to MagusBolt, Joechicken231, ryan_brogan, Grudail01, Phiak_Yu, DaoistbpRuip, and vanilirka for the Golden Tickets!

"Is the next natural disaster the Black Mist?"

"This doesn’t sound like it has any destructive power, does it?"

Logically speaking, the terror level of these natural disasters should gradually increase.

But then suddenly, this Black Mist appeared, it wasn’t a poisonous mist, nor did it specify any special characteristics.

It just looked like a natural disaster that simply obscured vision in the Wasteland.

"What are your thoughts on this natural disaster?" Looking at the three people beside him, he decided to hear their opinions.

Divya spoke first, "This natural disaster sounds like it’s not very dangerous, but it definitely won’t be that simple."

"Judging by the precedent of the gradually increasing danger of the extreme cold, perhaps later on, this Black Mist will develop into a poisonous mist or something similar?"

Vikram nodded in agreement.

"Hey, have you two forgotten that outside right now, besides the impending Black Mist, there’s also a group of Zombies eyeing us menacingly?" Anjali said slowly as she listened to their discussion.

After her reminder, Vikram suddenly slapped his head, thinking to himself that he was so preoccupied with the natural disaster that he forgot about this.

If all the deceased Survivors reappeared in the Wasteland World as Zombies, the number of Zombies would be around four billion.

That alone would be enough to become a natural disaster.

Recalling it now, he finally understood why this new natural disaster seemed so weak and powerless.

If the purpose of the Black Mist was to obscure vision, and Zombies happened to have poor eyesight but extremely powerful hearing, wouldn’t this be setting the stage for the appearance of Zombies?

Moreover, Divya’s words also made sense; the Black Mist would gradually intensify, and there was no telling what dangers would follow.

"Hiss~" Thinking of this, Vikram gasped in a cold breath.

Feeling the cold in his lungs, Vikram shook his head. He decided to put those unconfirmed thoughts aside for now.

In the current situation, worrying too much wouldn’t change anything.

It would be better to quickly think about how to upgrade his territory.

Fortunately, the Wasteland World had given him and the others a seven-day buffer period.

In these seven days, time was tight and the task was heavy.

Don’t forget, he also had to go settle accounts with the people from the Savage Wolf Shelter.

Now it seemed that this matter had to be resolved within a maximum of one day.

Otherwise, the time for building the Territory would be greatly reduced, and during that time, he also needed to collect some food and other supplies as reserves.

With a pile of things waiting for him to handle, Vikram felt like his head was about to explode.

He originally thought he had plenty of time, but now it seemed he had been a bit too optimistic.

"Time is too tight. If we wait until the natural disaster starts to slowly prepare, who knows what dangers might arise." Vikram clutched his head, a somewhat crazy idea appearing in his mind.

Seeing this, Divya also asked: "What’s wrong, Vikram? Are you feeling unwell? It’s okay, there’s still time. Get some good rest today, and we can talk about anything tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, he just shook his head, then spoke, "I’m thinking, the night is deep, and there isn’t much snow left outside. Why don’t we take advantage of this time to catch the Savage Wolf Shelter off guard?"

"What do you three think?" He looked at the three with an inquiring tone.

Actually, he also felt his method was a bit too reckless, and they would likely disagree.

However, to his surprise, they were seriously considering it. The final result was that they nodded.

For no other reason than that when the Savage Wolf Shelter pursued them back then, they also traveled under the cover of night, aiming for a surprise attack, so much so that by the time they reacted, the Savage Wolf Shelter was almost upon them.

Vikram’s current idea is perfectly aligned with the previous situation. The Savage Wolf Shelter had no information about their movements.

Departing at this moment was indeed a good decision.

Vikram nodded.

Since all the members of the Shelter agreed, he had nothing to hesitate about.

He would leave under the cover of night and finish quickly.

He simply took Phantom Druid, to assess the power of Savage Wolf Shelter, he has also informed Alex and his team to reach the location.

In the dark night, Vikram drove forward his bike with the Phantom Druid sitting behind him.

The current time was 2:20 AM, and they were expected to arrive there around 6 AM.

It was a bit late, but there was still a chance to ambush some high-ranking individuals who hadn’t woken up yet...

In a dense forest, the Wasteland World was just beginning to lighten with dawn.

Faint light filtered through the leaves in the forest, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

Just then, two figures blocked the sunlight shining down from above.

From the posture of their shadows, it was clear that the few people were hunched over, crawling forward.

The figure at the very front gestured, signaling the one behind him to follow.

The two were Vikram and his Phantom Druid, who had traveled through the night to a location several kilometers away from the Savage Wolf Shelter.

The journey had been relatively smooth. Vikram used biological detection to avoid many dangers.

This allowed them to arrive here so quickly.

And Abhishek had not deceived Vikram; the huge building in the dense forest indicated that they had come to the right place.

The building standing in the center of the forest ahead was entirely made of metal, but no snow could be seen on its roof.

This was enough to prove that the internal temperature was not low, and all the snowflakes had been melted by the heat.

Unlike the dispersed Shelters of the Brown Wood Shelter, the architectural framework of the Savage Wolf Shelter resembled a surrounded castle.

The tallest and largest house in the middle, Vikram knew without thinking, was where Rahul Soniwal, the leader, resided.

Outward from there were five smaller, shorter iron houses, built in a circular shape, enclosing the supplies in the center.

The impressive part was that their Shelter even had a courtyard wall outside.

Serving as the first layer of defense, it was also made of metal, and the top of the wall also had a protective net.

It was the barbed wire often seen on top of prison walls.

Seeing this setup, Vikram’s brows furrowed slightly.

"Damn it, how afraid of death is this Savage Wolf Shelter, to have so many defensive measures?"

Speaking of which, even his own Shelter had only implemented a little concealment methods.

As for other defensive measures, he hadn’t really bothered with them, since his territory vines can take care of it mostly.

And now with so much Plants Team on his defence, only death will await them the invaders.

Weaving through the bushes in the forest, the two of them searched for a way to enter...
