[The fifth detachment of the Survey Corps traveled 270 kilometers in the jungle today, and observation equipment has been deployed along the way. According to the scheduled plan, they will contact the third detachment moving in other directions tomorrow.]
[According to the observation report of the second team, the target still remains stationary and disguised. After the round with the third team, the four mixed teams will begin the crusade.]
[Nothing happened today, and the newcomers in the team remain calm. The race called Transformers has important value in large-scale marches, but they are still under observation. ]
After Jonathan finished writing today's report, he put it into a closed cylinder, took out his staff and tapped it, and the cylinder twisted and disappeared in an instant.
As the "best at escaping" investigator, Jonathan is also proficient in making door keys. Sometimes even the team leader Alvin is not sure how many ways Jonathan has to save his life.
After ending the surveillance of Sam in the Transformers world, the Survey Corps recruited manpower according to Rorschach's orders and established a large-scale extra-wall investigation activity.
Beyond the Wall of Flesh is a special sacred and corrupted terrain, as well as a jungle to contend with.
In Terraria, the jungle is mainly composed of grass, vines, mud, jungle trees, bamboo and pools. The jungle will continue to spread on the soil.
The conflict between holiness, corruption, and jungle landscapes makes the world beyond flesh and blood full of variables.
No one can guess how the terrain that has been explored today will change next month.
The constant changes in intelligence make it difficult for outside-wall investigations to organize large-scale operations. They can only repeatedly explore the ecology near the Wall of Flesh in a small-scale manner.
Before the Wall of Flesh was destroyed, the jungle was still normal. At least in the original world, everyone had explored the mystery of the jungle.
But behind the Wall of Flesh, the changing jungle has become a forbidden place for life.
From time to time, man-eating monsters disguised as vines would lean out from all directions, just to take a bite of flesh and blood.
As long as anyone accidentally steps into the slime, which is like mud, a layer of armor will be corroded away from the body.
Not to mention that the jungle spiders with the ability to mimic will inject venom into any prey that falls into their webs, and the fortress-like giant tortoise cannot even penetrate its hard shell with a series of armor-piercing bullets.
There are even fleas with big blue shells. Terrifying insects as tall as a person will appear when any creature is unaware, jump high and try to land on them, and can drain a person's blood in a few seconds.
What is even more uncomfortable is that this kind of creature is a group creature, and once it appears, it means that it has to deal with an entire group of people.
The weirdness and danger of the jungle ecology makes the Survey Corps worry not about the investigation mission, but how to move forward.
Therefore, in order to reach the target location, the Survey Corps applied for the cooperation of Task Force 141, used mobile armor to drop explosives and incendiary bombs, and led the large troops forward after the road was clear.
In other words, traveling at a speed of 270 kilometers per day is chasing the footsteps of a nuclear explosion.
But even so, it is difficult to defeat the terrifying resilience of the jungle ecology.
Within days of a nuclear blast, jungles can repopulate the scorched soil with dangerous flora and fauna.
After sending back the daily report, Jonathan constantly compared the action routes of the other three teams and reviewed today's actions in his mind.
Until a crackling sound of burning made Jonathan pay attention to the current scene again.
The camp was almost built on steel. Thick steel plates were placed on the original soil of the jungle. You can still feel the heat of the burning earth under your feet.
This is to block the cannibals that can emerge from the soil, and to build a relatively safe residence.
The burning sound was not a bonfire, it was a flamethrower dealing with the vines on a Transformer.
The Transformer named Inspector raised his hands, showing every part of his body, and allowed the flamethrower to clear away the vines on his body.
The detective twisted his neck and said: "This is so comfortable. Those troublesome wasps made me feel what poisoning is once again..."
Putting his head close to the flamethrower, relying on the last trace of flame, Logan lit the cigar in his mouth and asked: "Robots can also be poisoned?"
The detective twisted his body, checking whether there were any vines that had not been removed, and said, "Why not? Viruses are also poisonous!"
No one knows whether robot viruses can be compared with biological poisoning, but dangerous creatures in the jungle can give them the same feeling.
Now the moss wasp in the jungle can fire its poisonous sting at any living creature. If it hits a flesh-and-blood creature, it will be poisoned. If it attacks a mechanical life, vines and moss will grow on its body and corrode the body.
The flora of the jungle has merged with the creatures that birthed it, rejecting outside life.
As Logan smoked a cigar, the detective's craving for cigarettes also increased. He took out an electronic cigarette that was more than one meter long and put it in his mouth.
Humans smoke cigars and robots smoke electronic cigarettes, it all looks harmonious.
However, Logan looked at the electronic cigar that only smoked but did not burn. He raised the cigar he was holding and asked, "Have you ever smoked this?"
"I'm a robot! I made this thing myself. It's burning diesel fuel. Do you want to taste what diesel fuel smells like?"
The detective handed his electronic cigar to Logan, as if recommending his unique flavor to Logan.
The smell of diesel made Logan couldn't help but take a deep breath, filling his nose with the sweet smell of cigars to cover up the outside smell.
Just when Logan was thinking about how to refuse, he saw Jonathan who was patrolling the camp, waved to Jonathan and shouted: "Jonathan, come here!"
Thinking that Logan had discovered some loophole, Jonathan pulled out his wand and rushed over.
The magician can quickly repair the loopholes in the camp with magic spells. Just when the "repair it as before" spell was ready to be silently cast, Logan spoke out his request.
Taking out a new cigar and handing it to Jonathan, Logan said: "Enlarge this cigar and give it to the detective to taste human taste..."
"Is this all you do?"
"What else?"
Jonathan reluctantly took the cigar, placed it on the steel floor, put his wand against the cigar and recited the incantation 'Grow Big Quickly'. It instantly expanded tens of millions of times and became the cigar in the detective's hand.
Then pointing the wand at the end of the cigar, Jonathan used a cutting spell to cut it off, and then lit it with a blazing flame.
After completing this step, the detective picked up the cigar and took a deep puff. Smoke billowed out like a steam locomotive.
Logan looked at Jonathan who had finished casting the spell and was about to leave. He chased after him and asked, "Is the situation difficult?"
It is a recognized fact that Jonathan is a prodigal, but when Jonathan becomes serious, it means that the situation has reached an irreversible bad state.
Sighing, Jonathan replied in a tired tone: "The second detachment is almost unable to hold on anymore, and the underground environment is changing almost every moment. When we meet up with other detachments tomorrow, we will start the crusade immediately."
The leader of the second team is Levi Ackerman, the most capable guy in the entire Survey Corps. If he can't hold on anymore, this crusade is destined to end in failure.
Only then did Logan realize that the nuclear blast that seemed to be singing all the way was just a helpless attempt to gain time.
"What is the enemy?"
"A flower."
"A flower?"
"Yes, a flower."
Except for the leader of the Survey Corps, Alvin, who was in the center, the other investigators led a team. Task Force 141 cooperated throughout the entire process and recruited tens of thousands of people for the investigation and crusade, just to deal with a flower.
This flower is called the 'Flower of the Century' and is a strange and deformed flower that grows deep underground in the jungle.
Levi, who was the first to enter the scene, after confirming the location of Plantera, stationed himself on the spot, waiting for support from his comrades.
The jungle environment caused countless hardships in the early operations before locking in the location of Plantera.
The flower is now just a bud, a person-high bud containing pink petals. Sunflower-like growths are swaying around the bud, and the green receptacle and vines all over the body support the entire body.
When Jonathan and the third team led by Hanji met, they saw Plantera guarded by Levi from the second team.
Position shields have been set up around Plantera to defend against any accidents that might wake it up.
Just like surface mineral mining, the center of the spirally sinking mine is the bud of Plantera. Various Transformers transformed into engineering vehicles dug a sinkhole here.
The Decepticon's combination of King Kong Hercules is the centerpiece here. The combination of five Transformers as engineering vehicles can become the most useful crusher.
The Hercules lying on the ground continuously absorbs the soil on the ground, sends it into the crusher and combustion furnace inside the body to destroy it, and then sprays it behind him to be transported by other Transformers.
On each level of the road that circles the mine, everlasting flames are lit with slime gel.
Levi, who stood on top of Hercules and supervised the entire construction process, immediately appeared beside Jonathan and Hanji after seeing the two teams arriving.
Levi looked at the two teams and asked, "Where's Sam?"
However, Hanji and Jonathan shook their heads and said they didn't know. Seeing this, Levi stopped asking and said, "Let's directly launch a crusade against Plantera."
Jonathan asked doubtfully: "Aren't you waiting for Sam?"
Sam Fisher is also a member of the Survey Corps. He was supposed to join everyone at this moment, but he encountered something unknown on the way.
Now Levi does not care about his comrades, but instead demands to start a crusade. This is an unreasonable behavior.
However, Levi pointed at the slime gel flames and said, "Have you seen these slime flames? When I first came here, I laid a fire field with a radius of five kilometers, and now there is only so much left."
"The jungle is resisting. I don't even dare to think about what will happen if we delay it any longer."
