Why is this happening?
Is it her special ability? Or does the Atom God truly exist?
Su Ziyu doesn't really believe in the latter, because a Divine Spirit couldn't just appear out of nowhere. It is likely due to Mother Yisodel's ability, or it's related to the Old Gods in some way.
The Brotherhood is also investigating this matter.
They even sent people to infiltrate the Glowing Sea, but unfortunately, they found no useful intelligence within the Mechanical Atomist Pantheon.
However, the Bionics School has discovered something.
The people from the Bionics School have been monitoring the actions of the Genetics Faction. Recently, they discovered that a large number of researchers from the Genetics Faction are gathering toward a research facility, with at least over twenty researchers heading there.
The Genetics Faction is up to something.
Since the Academy civil war broke out, many researchers have dispersed to different places.
Such a gathering of researchers must be due to a major research project. Unfortunately, the facility is heavily guarded, and even the Bionics School people can't get inside. Even the Brotherhood sent people who lost contact as soon as they arrived. Now, the leaders of the Bionics School are meeting to discuss whether to launch a strategic assault on the research facility.
They also worry that the Genetics Faction is conducting some large-scale dangerous research.
When the super mutants were first developed, the Academy suffered great losses from the mutants running rampant, causing significant damage.
"There should be news coming soon."
Pasha leaned over and kissed Su Ziyu on the lips, softly saying, "Latest by tomorrow, the Brotherhood should inform us."
"If we're going to take action."
"Polaris also needs to send the Exoskeleton Power Armor Squad to assist."
"Dear."
"I'm heading to the factory now."
Su Ziyu nodded to show he understood. In this world, his foundation is still somewhat weak, so many pieces of intelligence have to rely on the Brotherhood. The specific action will be decided in due time.
But the estimation is that the assault on the facility will result in heavy casualties!
The super mutants under the Genetics Faction are very strong and possess a lot of advanced technology. The Brotherhood might not be able to succeed without concentrating their strength, depending on how much support the Bionics School can provide. The main forces in this operation are the Bionics School and the Brotherhood, with Polaris only able to provide a little help at most.
Meanwhile.
In a vast meeting room, the shadows under the projector gradually disappeared one by one.
Dr. A, somewhat weary, put down the documents and looked up, saying, "Gaia."
"How many synthetics have been produced?"
Soon, a cold female electronic voice sounded, "A total of 126 synthetics have been completed."
"Doctor."
"Do we need to conduct field tests with them for this operation?"
Dr. A solemnly nodded, saying, "Yes."
"Prepare to collect combat data."
The red light of the camera flashed slightly, and soon it said, "Understood. Establishing a database."
Dr. A hesitated for a moment and then spoke, "Gaia."
"Can you handle Apollo?"
A cold electronic voice responded again, "Yes."
"For this operation, Beidou will also provide some help. Nuwa can assist me in interfering with Apollo's computational abilities, temporarily cutting off its control over all satellites."
Hearing Gaia's words, Dr. A was much more excited and said in a deep voice, "Then that is sufficient."
"Prepare for the modifications."
Upon hearing this, Gaia hesitated slightly and slowly said, "Doctor, you don't need to take risks with the Advanced Bionic Transformations."
Currently, the success rate of Advanced Bionic Transformations is not a hundred percent.
"I understand." Dr. A shook her head and said, "But we now know for sure that Solomon possesses some unknown Supernatural Abilities."
"Just performing basic limb augmentations would make it quite dangerous when facing him."
"I must undergo more advanced bionic transformation."
Gaia then said, "Zero has already gathered some data on Supernatural Abilities. The research progress of the electromagnetic barrier is at 56%, which can somewhat resist attacks of a Spiritual nature."
"My mind is made up," Dr. A said solemnly.
Very soon, Gaia responded, "Alright, Doctor."
"The Advanced Bionic Transformation is already in preparation."
Glowing Sea.
This place used to be the stronghold of the Mechanical Atomist Pantheon, but recently the number of people active in this area has drastically decreased.
The main reason for this is that many followers of the Mechanical Atomist Pantheon turned into Corpse Ghosts, and after a massive chaos, many fled this radiation-polluted area.
"Who goes there?" a guard suddenly shouted, wielding a gun.
"It's me." A Latino-looking man walked over. Upon seeing his appearance, the armed guard relaxed a little, but in the next moment, the other guy suddenly pulled a gun and blew the guard's head off with one shot.
Quickly.
Another bearded white man slipped in. He appeared to be in his twenties, with a scar on his face. Yet, his mouth voiced Leon's tone, saying in a deep voice, "Is it done?"
"It's done. Many people have already withdrawn," the Latino man waved, saying, "Follow me."
"The Atomic Spring Water is just ahead."
The two swiftly entered a small valley, an area heavily polluted with radiation. Once, many from the Mechanical Atomist Pantheon guarded it, but recently, after the incident, it's been deserted.
"All these people turned into Corpse Ghosts?" Leon, disguised, looked at the bodies ahead, squatted down to check them, and frowned, "These are all recent mutations."
There were at least twenty to thirty bodies.
They all wore the attire of the Mechanical Atomist Pantheon, with their bodies covered in gunshot wounds, probably killed immediately after mutating.
Not far away, an area was enveloped in a faint green glow.
Leon glanced at his mechanical wristwatch and promptly injected himself with an anti-radiation serum.
Soon.
In their line of sight appeared a strange spring, once a sacred site of the Mechanical Atomist Pantheon. Every believer was required to come and drink from this eerily glowing green spring. Drinking the water would cause them to see various bizarre things, the most common being a shadow. The Brotherhood previously couldn't get in. Were it not for the disappearance of Mother Yisodel, they would find it hard to even access the outer areas.
"Do they drink this stuff regularly?" Leon expressed in disbelief.
——"Pollution level - High!"
The prompt on Leon's wristwatch indicated that an ordinary person gulping this would soon turn into a Corpse Ghost.
"New converts drink it once upon initiation," the Latino man said in a deep voice, "Usually, only core members have the privilege to consume Atomic Spring Water."
Incredible.
Leon was utterly shocked, yet he didn't forget his mission, swiftly taking out a bottle to collect some spring water. Then he said, "Let's go."
"Get this back for testing immediately."
"Dr. C is waiting for us."
Perhaps it was just his imagination, but upon interacting with the eerie Atomic Spring Water, Leon's vision blurred. Then it seemed as if he saw a fleeting shadow.
A day passed quickly.
Following the plan, Su Ziyu advanced the psychic ability level of the little girl to LV2. Meanwhile, during this period, he hunted down an ordinary Death Claw, gaining 3 Source Power Points. Collecting Source Power in the Wasteland World is relatively easy, but the monsters are scattered all around, and a single hunt may take half a day.
The fighting is relatively straightforward.
Most of the time is spent traveling, and Corpse Ghosts also need to feed, with their distribution dictated by the food chain.
It's still most exhilarating when encountering the wild hunts in the Demon Hunter World, or the attack on the Imperial City during the Hundred Demons World, as special events gather a huge number of enemies, allowing Su Ziyu to unleash a spectacular burst of power, earning a great deal of Source Power Points more efficiently than searching for scattered monsters.
By the afternoon.
The Brotherhood's command to act was issued. However, they also brought back a piece of news that is a mix of good and bad—that a huge number of super mutants are heading to the research facility.
These are all part of the super mutant forces that the Genetics Faction has let loose in the Wasteland World.
