A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Xiao Fengdi's frown became tighter and tighter, and when he reached the fifth fork in the road, he simply stopped.

"We can't go any further," he said. "This place is too complicated a labyrinth. If we go any further, we won't be able to find our way back."

There were not as many zombies in this underground cave as imagined, only six or seven appeared along the way, and with Xiao Fengdi's strength, he could easily deal with them.

However, it is not these monsters that are really threatening, but the cave itself.

——It is really too big!

It has been more than half an hour since the two went deep underground.During this period, they have been walking towards the west side. Judging from the distance, they may have already stepped out of the range of Fengyue Town and stepped under the western mountain range, but the passage in front of them has no intention of ending.

The four walls are still paved with blue bricks, and the unchanging walls. The winding tunnel extends forward, sinking into the darkness, as if it is endless.

Fang Shiqing was not unaware of this.

Although he was somewhat unwilling to invite the boss to go for such a trip and found nothing in the end, but as someone who hugged someone's thigh and rubbed against the picture, he didn't have the position to say anything.

"Then, let's go back first," he sighed, and kicked the gravel and wood residue that rolled under his feet, "I'm sorry, boss, I didn't expect...the bottom of this hole can be so big."

"There is no need to apologize, this maze is indeed strange and worth exploring."

This place is much bigger than the cool pasture on the ground.It now appears that it could never have been the basement built by the previous farmer; no farmer was capable of building such an exaggerated structure.

It might even have existed here long before Cooling Farm was established.It is not so much that it is below the farm as it is that the farm is built on top of it.

"Yeah, it seems that I have to spend a lot of time on it...but that's for later."

Fang Shiqing was thinking in his heart.

The farm on the ground has not been cleaned up yet, and this thing popped up underground, which really adds to the problem.But there is no rush here. Considering that there are zombies in the maze, why don't we put them aside for now, and wait until we find an effective way to deal with the zombies——

"You don't intend to explore this cave by yourself, do you?"

Xiao Fengdi's voice sank.Under the dim light of the flashlight, his expression was not very clear, but his attitude was obviously a little unhappy.

"If you want to come down, be sure to call me. There may be some danger lurking here. If only you, if something bad happens, it may lead to serious consequences."

"Huh?" Fang Shiqing was slightly taken aback.He really didn't think about calling the boss every time afterwards, "But..."

"There's nothing wrong with it," Xiao Fengdi said, "I'm not busy anyway. Besides, this is not your responsibility alone."

——How should I put it, boss, you are too kind!

Fang Shiqing was almost moved to tears.

It's embarrassing to say, but at this moment, he suddenly felt "being taken care of".This feeling is different from being rescued by his teammates, which makes his chest warm and bulging; this is strange and long-lost to him.

Is this what it feels like to be covered by a big boss?

He pressed his sore eye sockets, cleared his throat, and suppressed the strange emotion: "I, I see."

*

"Giggle, giggle...cluck..."

At this moment, a disgusting disgusting sound came from not far ahead, it sounded like it was coming from a throat stuck in thick phlegm.

Fang Shiqing was already familiar with this voice, it undoubtedly came from zombies.He immediately swept the flashlight forward.

Not surprisingly, at the end of the line of sight, a dirty green zombie was approaching here step by step——

Still the most common zombie, nothing special.Xiao Fengdi weighed the bat in his hand, completely in the posture of "as long as it dares to come over, it will be hit directly".

Strangely, when there were still more than ten steps away from them, the zombie stopped.

It kept wandering in place, making anxious roars, but it never took a step closer, as if it was afraid of something.

"It should..." Fang Shiqing silently glanced at the bat that was stained with a lot of rotten flesh, "Isn't it frightened by you, big brother?"

"how can that be possible."

This kind of low-level zombie doesn't have the ability to judge danger at all, it only knows how to pounce on living people by instinct.

"There must be something around here that makes it avoid it." Xiao Fengdi said, taking the flashlight from Fang Shiqing's waist, and swept it around the walls, the top of the head and the ground, and soon locked on the two people not far behind. Somewhere, on a pile of scattered rubble—there really isn't much else around here.

The ground in the maze is uneven, and it is easy to kick stones or bumps in the ground when walking, so ordinary gravel will not attract attention.However, in this small pile of stones, there seem to be some debris of different materials mixed in.

Xiao Fengdi squatted down next to it, and pulled out a slightly larger piece from the inside, which looked like a corner of a wooden board.

"It's wood." He shone a flashlight on the front, carefully looked at it again and again, "it seems to be peach wood. It has been placed for a long time, and it is a bit rotten."

"...Peachwood—!"

Fang Shiqing patted his head.

Most people know that peach wood can ward off evil spirits. It is better to say that when most people mention exorcising ghosts and evil spirits, their first reaction is a series of peach wood products such as peach charms, peach wood combs, and peach wood swords.But before this, he had never thought about it in this direction, God knows which brain short-circuited!

He casually picked up a few fragments from the ground, and tentatively took two steps forward.

The rotting flesh on the zombie not far away trembled unnaturally a few times.As he stepped forward, it eventually receded slowly.

--like!real!efficient!

Fang Shiqing threw the pieces of wood over there from a distance.Because the wood chip is too small and light, it can't be thrown very far, but it is surprisingly effective against the zombie. It made a gurgling sound from its throat unwillingly, turned around slowly, and fled away with a limp.

"The zombies here are really afraid of mahogany!" He immediately ran back and picked out all the wood debris that could be picked up, "It's easy to handle now, boss...huh?"

Holding the flashlight, Xiao Fengdi frowned, as if he didn't quite understand the situation in front of him.

"I've never seen a zombie so sensitive to mahogany," he said.

Peach wood can ward off evil spirits, in the final analysis because it has a very strong yang energy.But even so, it is a very common thing, and it is not a natural treasure. How could it be like the treasure in the cultivation novel, scaring the monster and running away as soon as it was shot.

"common……?"

Having said that, Fang Shiqing really found a problem.

"Peach trees are very common in reality, but in Fengyue Town, there doesn't seem to be any."

In the first few days when he first entered the game, in order to collect and make money, he ran the whole town and the surrounding hills.

Fengyue Town is well greened, and there are quite a lot of people who plant flowers, grass and trees in their yards, but no one plants peach trees.

Although, as an otaku who doesn't go out very much, his ability to identify plants is not very high, but it is not impossible that he can't even recognize peach blossoms.

Xiao Fengdi recalled it for a while, and had to admit: "...it seems not."

If you think about it this way-

"If you think about it this way," Fang Shiqing clapped his hands excitedly, "Peach wood must be the key tool to expel zombies! Brother, think about it, there are no peach trees in the whole town, but there are broken peach wood products in this underground maze , isn’t this just the hint the game gave us? It’s obviously guiding us to discover its ability to expel zombies!”

"...?"

The more Fang Shiqing thought about it, the more reliable he felt, so the more he said it, the more excited he was, "Maybe peach wood itself is a rare thing here, and it is difficult to get it. Since it is a rare product, it is natural to have some rare effects that are different from reality!"

"..."

"The next thing we have to do is to find enough peach trees, and then we can use peach trees to drive away zombies. If I can keep the zombies out, I can farm well! Although I don't know where to find peach trees yet, But—yes!"

He slapped his thigh and wanted to jump up, "Tomorrow, tomorrow is the Arbor Day event! The mayor said that the saplings are all bought by the town, and tomorrow I will ask him where the saplings come from, and then go to the place where the saplings are sold Ask if there are any peach trees, and you can always get some clues!"

"...Well." Xiao Fengdi handed him the flashlight, "Anyway, let's go back to the ground first."

"what……"

The other party's face was half hidden in the darkness, and there was an indescribable melancholy in his tone.Only then did Fang Shiqing come to his senses, rubbing his cheeks in embarrassment.

"Yes, I'm sorry, boss, I'm so excited. Did I speak too fast just now? That, that is..."

"It's okay, I probably understand everything," Xiao Fengdi walked forward first, "Anyway, let's go back first."

Fang Shiqing felt that the boss seemed a little unhappy.He suddenly felt guilty and guilty: "Yes, I'm sorry, boss, I just have this problem... I tend to talk too much. You—"

"Did you just say Arbor Day?"

"Hey?"

"You just said that you want to take advantage of tomorrow's Arbor Day to find someone to inquire about Taomu?" Xiao Fengdi started the topic flatly, "Tomorrow is still my day off, so I'll go with you. By the way Take a look."

He seemed to turn his head to look at Fang Shiqing, and Fang Shiqing quickly trotted two steps to follow.

"Uh, boss, you want to..." Come to Arbor Day?

For some reason, he always felt that "Xiao Fengdi" and "Arbor Day" looked weird together...

"I don't want to stay in the library these days," he said again, "You can see the construction around, it's too noisy over there."
