A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, unavoidably feeling a little uneasy at this meaningful reminder.

"Dangerous? It says there will be danger here...Isn't it here...at night, there will be zombies or something?" The timid girl Zeng Xin asked timidly. Until now, her fear of this strange world It doesn't seem to decrease at all.

God knows why she thought of "zombie" all of a sudden.When ordinary people see this kind of prompt, shouldn't they immediately doubt the law and order in this game?

"Impossible, this is a business development game, not "Resident Evil."

"I think it's a thief or a robber or something."

A few people spoke to me one by one.

"No, it might be a wild beast." Fang Shiqing rubbed his chin, and said based on his own gaming experience, "Not to mention survival and construction games, even purely management games, wild dogs, wild boars and other wild beasts may appear. Not surprisingly."

"Didn't you find anything wrong?" You Qingyu suddenly said at this moment, pointing.

Now six people are crowding side by side in front of the bulletin board, and there is an obvious space between Zeng Xin and Gu Jinhong.Facing the vacant position, there was an announcement——

"There are seven notices on the bulletin board, and here we are...

"Only six people..."

There is an announcement, extra.

"Ah!" Zeng Xin exclaimed in surprise and took two steps back, tremblingly, "C-Could it be that there is a transparent person among us? Or... this announcement is not for 'people'?"

"..."

The extra announcements and the incident just now seemed to make her a little overly paranoid.

"You think too much, how is this possible, and it's not a supernatural story." Zhao Jun sighed, "Probably there are players who didn't come here in time. Maybe they got lost halfway, or they neglected to look at the bulletin board This kind of thing is not impossible."

In the end, everyone decided to ask Gu Jinhong, who lives in the bar next to the square, to pay attention to the situation here, and the others just dispersed.

After leaving the square, Fang Shiqing opened the town map.

After reading the announcement, the entities of the map and the operation manual disappeared, and turned into small icons attached to the item bar, which can appear in front of you in the form of translucent light projections with just one click, as convenient as possible. How convenient.

He hummed a little tune and walked on the small road in the town.Chirping birds are heard from the street trees on both sides of the road, and the passers-by are all at ease, and the whole environment is very comfortable.

The sun was shining warmly on his body, and his whole body was warm. He wiped his forehead, but there was no sweat dripping down at all.

Probably because it is in the game - this world is very similar to reality, but it is not reality.You won't sweat here, you won't get tired too easily, and you probably won't be sick.

Thinking of this, Fang Shiqing smiled more happily.Unlike others, not only was he not panicked by the status quo, but he even fell in love with it right away.

It is an ideal life for him to be able to play games honestly, confidently, and in good health for a long time!

Following the directions on the map, he found the grocery store in the town in time before closing time, and happily exchanged all the start-up funds on his body for the cheapest radish seeds.Seeds cost 30 yuan a bag, and 500 yuan becomes 16 bags of seeds. The same kind of props are stacked and placed in the props column, occupying only one prop slot.

By the time he returned to his home "Qingliang Farm", it was already evening.

From the map, Qingliang Farm is located on the westernmost side of the town, surrounded by mountains on both sides, and there is a large lake on the south side. The river drained from the lake passes directly under the farm. The location is quite comfortable.

Fang Shiqing looked at the "Planting Chapter" in the "Operation Manual", took out a hoe, sickle and sprinkler from the tool room next to the hut and equipped them in the inventory, and then began to clear the wasteland in front of the door.

He first opened a small road from south to north, ensuring that he could reach the small bridge over the southernmost river from the gate.Through this bridge, you can directly reach the lake in the south, and you can reach the town after bypassing the lake. Although it is farther than the east, it also has its existence value.

After finally being able to reach the river, he poured the river water into the watering can, and then started the formal farming activities——

Avoid large stones and trees that cannot be removed first, and move small stones away by hand.Cut the weeds with a scythe, dig the ground with a hoe, scatter the seeds, and water with a sprinkler.Farming in reality is of course not so simple, but this is just a game after all, as long as you sow the seeds in this way, and then water once a day, the crops will grow in a few days.

At the beginning, his movements were a little rusty, but then gradually became smoother, and the more he planted, the happier he was; a few times he went down with a hoe and dug up earthworms, which can be regarded as a small adjustment in the digging operation.

But after all, planting is a time-consuming job. During the process of completely planting the seeds, it was completely dark before we knew it.The birds had already returned to their nests, and the surroundings were completely silent, except for the lights in the town in the distance.

Taking advantage of the rising moon in the east, Fang Shiqing picked up the almost empty watering can, jumped over many obstacles on the ground, and walked towards the small river south of the pasture, trying to fill it up again.

The watering can is different from other agricultural tools. The amount of water in it is limited. Once it is used up, it has to be refilled next to the water source.

While walking crookedly, he happily looked at the field he had just planted.

Although only the well-turned moist land can be seen at present, within two days, there will be a field of young seedlings fluttering in the wind, and after that, there will be big white and fat radishes.At that time, just throw the radish into the selling box, and the next day it will be turned into a shiny banknote——

He has played this kind of game a lot, and he knows that the most standard and efficient way to start is to plant a large number of the cheapest seeds in the store: this kind of crop can be harvested quickly and can turn into more money in a short period of time. Money turns into more crops.

In reality, this kind of thing is naturally not feasible. Among other things, whether the planted crops can be sold is a problem, and storage is also a lot of trouble.But this is a game, there is no need to find a buyer at all, as long as you accept it, you can sell it.

After that, the funds will be able to snowball more and more, and it is not a dream to get rich by farming in the end...

Thinking about it, Fang Shiqing only felt that a bright future was just around the corner, and the future was bright. When he pressed the watering can into the river to fill it up, he couldn't help but patted the back of his head and giggled.

"Hey Hey Hey."

Suddenly realizing that he was laughing out loud, he quickly covered his mouth, thinking that it's too stupid to be smirking all by himself.

however……

Unexpectedly, the laughter spreading around did not stop with him.

"Hehe...hehehehe..."

A misty laugh passed behind him.

It wasn't his voice; the laugh was far deeper and harsher than his.Fang Shiqing was startled and almost fell into the river.

—Is this... an echo?But it's not quite like it.No matter how you look at this small farm, it doesn't look like it can form an echo.And the echo doesn't change the tone of the voice completely.

Did you hear me wrong?

"hey-hey……"

Laughter rang out again, in a low and staid voice.

This time, the sound came from close to the back of his neck, eerie and chilly.

At the same time, a cold hand rested on his shoulder—a blue, stiff hand...

"Wow!!"

Fang Shiqing screamed.He didn't care about the sprinkler half-soaked in the river, jumped aside suddenly, rolled over the stones by the river, climbed a few meters away, and finally had the courage to turn back.

That is……

The cyan skin was almost integrated with the night, and it was turning around staggeringly, turning its head to his "humanoid object", which should be——

- Zombies.

These two characters suddenly jumped to my mind.Fang Shiqing crawled back tremblingly, his arm touched the wooden post behind him.

Only now did he realize what he had overlooked before.

He planted radishes so much that he forgot the time, and he completely forgot about the warning message on the notice!

In the afternoon, Zeng Xin's timid words faintly flashed in his ears - "Could it be, there are some zombies... right?"

Is that girl Yan Ling!Fang Shiqing wanted to cry but had no tears.

Under the moonlight, the zombie turned his head and looked at him with a pair of cloudy eyes sunken deep into the sockets.The corners of the shriveled mouth were pulled to the sides, and an unpleasant sound came out of the throat.

"Hey... hey."

Then, dragging its heavy steps, it stepped into the river.The watering can was kicked by it and flew to the middle of the river, but it didn't notice it at all, just wading through the water and walking towards Fang Shiqing——

Fang Shiqing covered his chest with his hands, and hurriedly rolled to the side, barely dodging the zombie's big hand reaching out again.

Fortunately, this is a game, no matter how frightened he is, he will not lose his physical ability; otherwise, not to mention running away, he would almost have a heart attack from fright.

The zombie's movements were very slow, which gave him a buffer time.

He quickly avoided the obstructing trees and ran to the north side—the river was at the southernmost end of the pasture, and his hut was at the northernmost end of the pasture; at this time, he instinctively wanted to go back to the house and hide.

"Hey...hehe..."

The zombie repeated the syllable, and chased after him step by step.Both arms stretched out straight forward, as if they wanted to wrap around Fang Shiqing's shoulders.It wasn't until now that Fang Shiqing realized that the hehe sound wasn't laughter, but the sound of wind leaking from its throat.

Most of the space in the ranch has not yet been cleared, and there are shadows in front of it, full of shadows of various trees and stones.Because of running away in a hurry before, he couldn't tell which direction the path opened for a long time. Under the thick night, he could only run forward by groping.

It can be said that if you don't die, you won't die.If you had recalled the announcement early and returned indoors before dark, you wouldn't have to play with zombies in the dark, you chased me and ran away...

But it's no use regretting it now.

It was getting darker and darker, Fang Shiqing tried his best to squint his eyes and look around, but he still tripped over weeds or branches from time to time.He didn't dare to stop, got up quickly and continued to run forward, but bumped into something.

The "thing" in front of him was shaken by him.Fang Shiqing was so dizzy from running away, he vaguely felt that the person in front of him was a person, so he covered his forehead and said in a daze, "Yes, I'm sorry..."

He suddenly shut his mouth, how could there be another person in this farm besides him?

There was a smell of stench and corruption coming from the end of the nose, which was emanating from the front.

Another...another zombie!

He wanted to back away, but was frightened by the voice behind him.Two zombies, one behind the other, blocked him in the middle.

"Cuck... cluck..."

The "person" in front—no, it was another zombie, made a sound like choking on phlegm, and slowly opened its arms.

"...!!"

At the critical moment, Fang Shiqing's mind became extraordinarily clear-headed, and he slipped past the opponent in time.

The zombie's big hands with protruding muscles and bones grabbed empty space, it froze for a moment, then turned around slowly, and chased him like the previous one.

"Hoo, hoo..." Fang Shiqing panted and ran forward.Panting is not from exhaustion, but from surprise and confusion.Why would something like this suddenly pop up on the farm?This is obviously a farming game, why are there zombies?

Among the sparse trees, there were more rustling sounds of breaking ground, as well as the sound of "hey" squeezed out from the depths of the throat.I don't know how many zombies will emerge in this small farm?

What else is this place called "Qingliang Farm", he thought with a sad face, it should be renamed "Zombie Farm" directly!

This section of road is obviously not long, but it seems like it will never reach the end when running.

After finally seeing the radish field that had been reclaimed before, Fang Shiqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and boldly took a look back.Among the overgrown weeds and bushes, a layer of mist appeared at some point.Under the moonlight, in the mist, countless stiff shadows approached and walked towards him...

He quickly suppressed the scream that reached his mouth, and rushed towards his hut.

He ran to the door and stretched out his hand to push the door, but suddenly his ankle tightened.

——A big blue-black hand broke through the ground, grabbed his ankle and dragged it down.

Fang Shiqing only felt that half of his body was numb, and his whole heart was cold.The zombies gradually came out of the mist, and some of them seemed to have noticed the seeds he had just planted. They gathered around and picked up the soil with their hands, turned the seeds inside out, and stuffed them into their mouths together with the soil. In two blows, the whole land was completely destroyed.However, at this time, he was no longer in the mood to feel sorry for the fruits of his labor; more zombies seemed to be more interested in him as a living person than in that piece of land...

At least a dozen of them dragged around.He thought desperately, with so many zombies, even if he was torn apart, it wouldn't be enough, would it?

Just when he was about to close his eyes, a strange voice suddenly came from directly above his head.

"—reach out."
