Chapter 7 - Seven: Awkward Situation...

[Randall Clark's POV]

Descending down the natural formation I headed north and camped out across the river from the 'Green Paradise' as I called it and was shocked by what I could see!

The 22's Camp was completely covered in beautiful green grass, what appeared to be green...humans? Were walking around mindlessly like they had nothing else to do, above the camp were giant plants that resembled Venus flytraps with giant sharp teeth.

Lined up on the Canyon walls were thick vines that were full of life.

And what shocked me the most was that the grass was spreading at a visible speed!

I watched for hours on end as the grass and plant life expanded through my Binoculars before something strange happened.

Suddenly multiple of the green men froze and looked in my direction at the same time.

I froze in surprise and a small bit of fear but continued to watch.

Then to my surprise, large red fruit began to grow at a visible speed on the vines on the canyon wall!

I watched as the green men began collecting these fruits and storing them away in a wooden crate left behind by the 22's.

Setting up my traps and other trip alarms I set up my campfire and lied down to go to sleep.

But in the middle of my sleep, I heard the loud sound of a Beartrap and immediately opened my eyes and pulled out my 10mm pistol from under my pillow.

But I froze upon seeing one of the green men caught in a bear trap with the box I saw earlier being filled with fruit sitting on the ground near me with a note on it!

Instead of firing at the strange green man, I froze in confusion.

Getting up from my bedroll I picked up my rifle and made sure to keep my eye on the green man as I walked over to the crate and picked up the note.

Reading through the note I looked up at the creature with a confused gaze.

The note read, 'Greetings, I noticed you watching me from the distance, I am Yggdrasil, the Guardian, and Caretaker of Nature. The Crate and its fruit is my gift to you, if you ever wish to 'talk' with me then you're free to come to visit, and if you have any kind of problems feel free to come to me in the future, I may be able to help.'

Having a mental struggle for a few moments, I eventually sighed, and slowly approached the green man.

"You aren't going to try to bite me, are you?" I asked.

"You...you can understand me?" I asked confused and the green man nodded.

"Are you...Yggdrasil?" I asked after a few moments.

The Green Man just shook his head and nodded at the same time before pointing down at its caught leg trapped in the beartrap.

"Ah...right," I responded before opening the beartrap with my bȧrė hands long enough for it...to pull its leg out.

Once its leg was out I quickly pulled my hand away and watched as the beartrap snapped shut.

Sighing in relief I looked back over to the Green Man and said, "Sorry about that, you never know when a predator could sneak up on you."

I watched as the Green Man waved me off, not bothered at all by its injury.

Now that I got a closer look at it I found that the green man wasn't bleeding, in fact, its insides looked yellow and nothing like flesh...is it some kind of plant?

"Are you...some kind of plant?" I asked curiously which the green man responded with a nod.

"So you control all of the...plant men in that abandoned camp?" I asked and the plant man responded with a nod.

After asking a few more basic questions the Plant man left allowing me to start heading back to Cueva Guarache in the morning.

[MC POV]

Well then, that went well...

After answering some basic questions from Randall, I got a notification from the system.

[Congratulations on reaching level 3!]

[You have unlocked the plant, Mutfruit Tree(50 Energy per plant)]

[You have unlocked the food, Mutfruit(50 Energy per batch)]

(A/N: Yes, Vine Fruit is 20 Energy per fruit, but they don't grow on vines in batches, so if I get a plant like Corn then I will get a batch of Cobs)

[You have unlocked the skill, Blood Synthesis(Energy Varies)]

[Blood Synthesis(Energy Varies)

Description: Allows the user to create creatures through the use of collected DNA and Energy, these created creatures are loyal to the user and can be controlled at will by the user.

Note that, creatures can only be created on solid surfaces and can be easily damaged and destroyed]

Now that is an interesting skill!

[A/N: Don't worry it will cost him many thousands of energy points to create most creatures. And I got this skill so it would make it possible to create creatures that are unique to a completely different area across the wasteland in the colonies, for example, the Honey Beast unique to 76 which would allow the MC to get honey and sell it for a profit]

Besides that, I also got a Mutfruit Tree!

Mufruit is a wonderful food source that I remember from Fallout 4 because to me, it was the most aesthetically pleasing and the fact that it gave 1 food point to my settlements made me like them even more(Seriously, why is the Mutfruit the only 1 Point food in the game? The other available food options are 0.5!).

Perhaps I will add them later since the Mutfruit trees will give me access to sticks and wood as well as leaves.
