Wasteland: I Awakened A Plant System

Counting his Treekins, Guardian, Warrior, Healer, Archer, Phantom, Fire Mage, and Water Mage each generate 100 Plant Essence per day, for a total of 800 Plant Essence per day.

Meanwhile, Assassin, Light Mage, Storm Mage, Ice Mage, and Earth Mage Druids each generate 60 Plant Essence per day, for a total of 300 Plant Essence per day.

This brings the total daily Plant Essence generation to 1,100 Plant Essence per day. With counting together with Treehouse, it was 6,100.

And now he has also unlocked the limitation of planting the new seeds, which has increased the limit of 60. While the plants merged with the Treehouse were not counted.

So he can also plant all the new seeds in territory 2, and same as territory 1, he can develop that territory into plant territory, gaining the massive numbers of Plants Essence.

He has already three Vine Sniper Tower seeds available, and also a sufficient number of Thornvine, Spikevine, Bloodvine and Demonvine. Also he can buy the Lumen Reed Seed and make the Territory 2 lights the same as the territory 1.

And he has already 145,900 plants Essence gathered from daily production, rewards and others.

If he wants, instantly he can upgrade his territory 2.

But currently he is still thinking that he should create territory 3, or is still stuck on territory 1.

Seeing he was not able to reach any decision, he arrived at the fifth floor.

After the treehouse upgraded, from who knows where, there appeared a digital screen. And it can also turn on. But since he has no drive to watch any movie or series, so currently it was useless.

Except for the screening room, there were other various empty areas, which Vikram decided to develop into entertainment facilities.

He then went to the sixth floor, it was the same as the previous third floor, but from now on he can see 1 sq km of his territory, he can easily monitor through the screen.

He was about to call his wives to show this,

Opening it, he found messages in the Shelter group chat he had created earlier.

He had created this group chat specifically for his territory members to communicate and exchange information.

The Survivors in it were, of course, the fifty people in Vikram’s Territory.

Opening the group chat, Vikram focused his gaze and saw that it was Percy who had sent the message.

[Percy: Brother Vikram, something’s wrong! Our Territory has been ambushed!!]

Upon hearing this news, Vikram’s expression immediately turned cold, and a chill flashed in his eyes.

"Are the people from Frost Shelter here again?" Immediately, this group of people came to Vikram’s mind.

The only force that had a grudge against him and knew the location of his territory, besides Snape’s Frost Shelter, Vikram couldn’t think of any others.

[Vikram: Don’t worry, let’s try the newly upgraded Treehouse.]

He had just closed the chat when his wives also walked out of their rooms.

The two had obviously also noticed the message in the Shelter group chat and now hurried to Vikram, looking at him worriedly.

Without much exchange, they exchanged glances and started looking at the screen on the treehouse.

Through the monitor, he can watch everything happening outside the enclosure.

What surprised him was that there were no Survivors at the enclosure; instead, a large group of zombies were repeatedly hitting the enclosure.

Vikram could still hear the dull thud clearly even from inside the observation room.

[Vikram: What exactly is going on? Why would these zombies attack our wall for no reason?]

After so many days, Vikram had long understood the habits of zombies.

Logically, zombies should not attack a wall for no reason.

Taking in the situation reflected on the screen, Vikram asked with a calm expression.

He can now also kill all the zombies through the defence Turret without going outside.

Vikram asked Percy. It seemed he was the member responsible for monitoring today.

Percy, who was currently in the observation room, immediately replied through the communication system.

[Percy: It’s...]

[Ron: What is it? Hurry up and tell us!]

Ron anxiously sent another message.

[Percy: It’s... it’s that someone approached our shelter first and then made a commotion near our wall, which attracted the zombies.]

Percy seemed a little nervous, causing his messages to appear somewhat incoherent.

[Ron: Are you sure you didn’t see it wrong?]

[Percy: Absolutely certain!]

[Percy: I couldn’t see clearly what exactly caused the noise, but it was very loud, almost like an explosion.]

[Percy: And after making the noise, they immediately ran away without looking back.]

[Vikram: An explosion?]

Vikram frowned.

He had been busy with other matters and hadn’t paid much attention to what was happening outside.

Now, hearing Percy’s report, it further confirmed his previous suspicions.

After all, he had been slightly injured by homemade explosives thrown by Snape’s subordinates not long ago.

Naturally, he couldn’t forget that incident.

Suddenly, Percy seemed to remember something.

In the observation room, he quickly adjusted several surveillance screens while searching through the recordings.

A few moments later, an excited message appeared in the group chat.

[Percy: Look! They’re still hiding in the distance!]

Inside the Treehouse control room, Vikram and his wives immediately looked toward the screen Percy had shared.

Sure enough, on a heavily magnified surveillance feed, they could clearly see around ten figures.

The group was being extremely cautious. Even though they had deliberately stayed far away from the territory, they were still hiding behind several trees.

If Vikram’s Treehouse hadn’t been upgraded and the surveillance cameras weren’t system-produced equipment, they probably wouldn’t have been able to spot them at all.

[Ron: Isn’t that the bastard who came to our Treehouse that day?]

[Ron: How did he end up here as well?]

Ron recognized the survivor standing at the front of the group at a glance and couldn’t help but curse.

[Vikram: You know them?]

Seeing that everyone seemed to recognize the people on the screen, Divya, standing beside Vikram, suddenly spoke.

[Divya: You all know them?]

[Sister-in-law, you don’t know. The reason we were so desperate to come to Brother Vikram’s shelter was because we were forced into a corner by that beast.]

[Ron: If Brother Vikram hadn’t accepted us so readily, we probably would’ve been captured and taken back to Frost Shelter by now.]

Ron spoke with a serious expression while pointing angrily at the figure displayed on the screen.

Naturally, he didn’t feel there was anything wrong with calling Divya "Sister-in-law."

The title immediately made Divya blush again, and she shyly glanced toward Vikram.

Anjali, however, placed her hands on her hips and softly huffed.

She seemed somewhat dissatisfied that Ron only called Divya "Sister-in-law" and not her.

She quietly moved closer and wrapped herself around one of Vikram’s arms. Following that Sophia and Luna did the same.

Vikram naturally noticed their little actions, but he didn’t have time to pay attention to them right now.

[Vikram: Have you fought them before? How strong are they?]

Vikram stared at the figures standing in the distance on the surveillance screen and asked in a deep voice.

At first glance, the biggest problem facing the shelter seemed to be the zombie horde surrounding the outer walls.

However, those zombies were simply acting on instinct.

Even if Vikram killed all of them, as long as those survivors remained nearby, they could simply attract the new zombies.

Therefore, the real problem wasn’t the zombies.

It was the people hiding in the distance.

Only by dealing with them could the current crisis truly be resolved.

[Draco: Vikram Boss, I know the leader.]

[Draco: His name is Scott. He’s one of the high-ranking members of Frost Shelter.]

[Draco: Ron fought him before, and the two of them were basically evenly matched.]

[Draco: As for the other survivors behind him, we haven’t seen them fight before, but they don’t seem to be at Scott’s level.]

Before Draco could finish speaking, Ron immediately interrupted.

[Ron: What do you mean evenly matched?]

[Ron: That day I was hungry and exhausted. I wasn’t even using my full strength. That’s the only reason we ended in a draw.]

[Ron: Now I eat and drink well every day at Brother Vikram’s shelter.]

[Ron: I’ve gained weight too.]

[Ron: Dealing with that dog? Isn’t that as easy as turning my hand?]

Ron snorted disdainfully.

Then he rolled up his sleeves and started walking toward the exit, clearly intending to go outside and teach Scott a lesson himself.

If Vikram hadn’t stopped him first, he probably would’ve already rushed out.

Seeing this, Vikram couldn’t help but shake his head.

This Ron was indeed loyal.

Whenever trouble appeared, he was always the first to step forward.

Unfortunately, he was a little lacking when it came to common sense.

Looking at the stopped Ron, Vikram silently shook his head.

The situation outside was extremely chaotic. Zombies were everywhere, and dangerous Mutated Zombies appeared from time to time.

As for why the people from Frost Shelter dared to take the risk of provoking him, Vikram could already guess the reason.

He had killed so many members of Frost Shelter that Snape was probably completely enraged and had decided to resort to desperate measures.

"Damn it, Snape’s men are showing up everywhere."

Vikram secretly complained.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but wonder how many supplies he could obtain if he completely wiped out Frost Shelter one day.

[Ron: Brother Vikram, why are you stopping me?]

[Ron: That dog attacked our home. How can we just tolerate this?]

Ron’s puzzled voice sounded through the communication channel, pulling Vikram back from his thoughts.

[Vikram: Don’t worry. If I wanted to kill them, Phanty alone would be enough. But I also want to conduct an experiment.]

[Ron: An experiment?]

The word immediately confused Ron.

[Ron: Then are we just going to let them manipulate us like this?]

He sounded extremely indignant.

Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Vikram’s face.

Instead of answering directly, he asked another question.

[Vikram: Ron, do you still remember those four survivors?]

[Vikram: The ones we tied to the trees?]

[Ron: Oh, right! There’s that too!]

Ron immediately slapped his forehead as realization dawned on him.

However, everyone else in the control room looked completely confused.

They had no idea what the two were talking about.

Only Vikram and Ron seemed to understand.

After noticing everyone’s puzzled expressions, Ron quickly explained the incident involving the survivors who had been tied to trees and eventually transformed into zombies.

Only then did the others finally understand what Vikram was planning.

[Divya: The black mist’s poison can turn people into zombies while they’re still alive?]

Aside from Ron and Vikram, who already knew about this and remained relatively calm, everyone else was stunned.

The group exchanged glances, each seeing a trace of fear in the others’ eyes.

Unlike Vikram, they didn’t possess a system panel capable of analyzing the black mist’s properties.

To them, the mist simply looked like an ordinary black fog.

Learning that it could potentially turn living people into zombies sent a chill down their spines.

One after another, they turned toward Vikram.

In their eyes, Vikram wasn’t just the strongest person present—he was also the most reliable.

Everyone silently waited for an explanation.

However, Vikram remained calm.

The truth was that even his own understanding of the black mist was limited.

After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke.

[Vikram: It’s not as outrageous as you’re imagining.]

[Vikram: The toxins need to accumulate to a certain level inside the human body before zombification can occur.]

[Vikram: Generally speaking, most people would probably die from the poison itself before reaching that stage.]

Vikram explained as calmly as possible.

Of course, he wasn’t completely certain about this conclusion.

It was merely a theory based on his observations.

Even if he told everyone about the worst-case scenario now, it wouldn’t help solve anything.

Instead, it would only create unnecessary panic.

If the situation truly became uncontrollable, there would be little anyone could do about it anyway.

So it was better to provide a reassuring explanation rather than increase everyone’s anxiety.

Sure enough, after hearing his words, the tension of everyone immediately eased.
