Battlefield of Civilization: From the Bottom to the First Citizen

Chapter 86 Information from the Capital

With a sudden increase in speed, the energy barrier on the outside of his body, combined with the speed, made Wu Ou a being with enormous impact power.

Click!

Several trees were instantly smashed in the middle, not to mention the animals blocking the way.

Da da da da!

The energy gun fired continuously, instantly detonating explosions on the ground.

boom!

The ground within the area covered by more than a dozen trees suddenly collapsed, revealing a large hole.

The area around the large pit was covered with a dense, airtight 'cloth' of mycelium, which made the originally ordinary stone walls colorful and even gave off a faint fragrance in the air.

Unfortunately, this is not a real fragrance, but rather a toxin, a hallucinogenic toxin.

The animals absorb it; at first, they are simply attracted, as if they have encountered the most delicious food.

Gradually, they settled down on the ground nearby, constantly feeding on things containing mycelium, or simply things that were mycelium in disguise.

In the end, it completely transformed into a puppet of mycelium, becoming the new bait.

Unfortunately, putting aside Wu Ou's current protective armor, even with his own abilities, he wouldn't be controlled by these mycelia.

"I'm getting more and more curious. How did you, a giant mushroom, manage to reach the mid-level of level one on your own?" Wu Ou smiled and jumped into the pit.

After falling for three or four seconds, I saw a rather strange scene.

The mycelium spread out like a carpet from the base of a giant mushroom about three meters in diameter, constantly decomposing the surrounding metal and other building materials into nutrients for its growth.

But there was only one thing that stood out so abruptly beneath this mushroom.

A large, dark iron pot, with a colorful liquid inside that looks like a witch's soup from a fairy tale, constantly bubbling.

You can even feel a wave of heat.

belch--

The sound was like someone burping after eating, but it was actually just the sound of bubbles popping in the pot.

Even though Wu Ou had already walked close, neither the big pot nor the big mushroom seemed to notice them and showed no reaction whatsoever.

It's as if what was attacking them from outside using various means just now wasn't them.

After thinking for a moment, he split the energy blade in his right hand into a small dagger-like length and tried to cut the large mushroom.

It felt like slicing buttered bread, with no resistance whatsoever.

It's like we're eating at a buffet!

Wu Ou raised an eyebrow and dispersed the energy blade in his hand.

Even after just a few seconds of contact, the mycelium was desperately trying to parasitize itself.

"There's no such thing as a free lunch, but I have the ability to dine and dash!"

Wu Ou chuckled and went to grab the big mushroom again, intending to pick it whole this time.

whoosh-

A whooshing sound came from the air.

"Huh!"

A third of the large mushroom in my hand disappeared in an instant.

The peregrine falcon hadn't died; instead, it rushed in as if intending to destroy the giant mushroom.

Despite his failed first sneak attack, the Peregrine Falcon was not discouraged at all.

Even though the space here is limited, it looks like they're going to completely destroy this giant mushroom.

"I'm sorry, I really can't give this to you."

As Wu Ou spoke, he grabbed it with his left hand once again, just like before.

"Yay!"

The peregrine falcon cried out, as if reminding Wu Ou just how dangerous it was.

Ignoring its warning, Wu Ou followed the opening it had created with his right hand and arrived at the center of the giant mushroom's umbrella.

A source crystal landed in his hand.

Suddenly, the entire giant mushroom, the bubbling pot, and even the mycelium throughout the room all came to life.

It's like a net that snaps shut as soon as its prey falls into the trap, or a mechanism that's designed to prevent thieves from taking away its treasures.

"ah--"

The peregrine falcon cried out once, then played dead.

"Little rascal." Wu Ou smiled and ignored it.

While swallowing the source crystal, he reached out and picked up the iron pot.

At this moment, the soup in the iron pot, which had seemed to be boiling, turned into cooled oil.

Fortunately, it didn't completely solidify.

Crunch, crunch, slurp—

After eating everything, the large mushroom in my hand seemed to have lost most of its vitality.

The once vibrant mushroom caps now have many more wrinkles.

But it clearly hasn't given up yet, desperately extending its mycelium to wrap around Wu Ou's body.

While coordinating with the other gathered mycelia, it attempted to penetrate the armor on Wu Ou's body.

For a moment, the entire cave fell silent.

The mycelium that was originally controlled by this giant mushroom to grow outside quickly turned into nutrients and were incorporated into the nearby soil.

Inside the cave, the original environment, a mixture of soil and metal, was gradually revealed, and it could be vaguely seen that this was probably a kitchen.

Here, Wu Ou began to absorb the 'nutrients' from the entire giant mushroom.

At the northern base, Coach Li looked at the translated radio information on the computer and revealed a look of surprise.

"Great! I didn't expect the technology at the capital base to return to normal so quickly!"

"With satellites, network communication can be fully restored!"

Looking at the content that appeared later, Yu Lei quickly reminded him, "Coach Li, it also says here that if you receive a base, you can report the specific coordinates."

The capital base will send an expert team to investigate the situation. What do you think...?

The development of the Northern Base is going quite well, and everything is progressing in a positive direction.

If the capital base really sends someone, it's uncertain what decision they will ultimately make!

More importantly, the actual connections between different parts of the Dragon Kingdom are not very close at present. Even in the entire northern region, there are at least eighty to a hundred cities, towns and other places of all sizes, as well as bases and settlements.

Can the capital base persuade its administrators with just one person they send?

Yu Lei wasn't very optimistic about it.

But the next moment, Coach Li's voice came from beside me.

"Of course! Quick, send us our coordinates!"

He could clearly hear the excitement and anticipation in Coach Li's voice.

Although they couldn't understand it, their hands moved quickly.

After sending the message, Yu Lei frowned as he looked at the radio wave information that appeared afterward. "It seems that the radio wave information just now was playing on a loop, and not..."

Before he could finish speaking, the radio message that was playing suddenly stopped, and a dozen seconds later, a new radio message appeared.

"We will be heading to your base in ten days."

After Yu Lei gradually translated the content, Coach Li burst out laughing.

"Great! This is fantastic news!"

He suddenly remembered something and turned to look at the captain of the personal guard standing to the side. "By the way, contact Su Lei and ask Dr. Wu if he has obtained any new energy supply technology."

If not yet, come back and establish the base's energy barrier system; at least it should be able to meet a normal demonstration standard!
