Interactive Fiction: The Right Choice After Unemployment

Chapter 139 The Snake Vine Escaped

Option 23.1 76.9%, Option [-] [-]%
……

【Option [-]】

[Collection]: Ensure the preservation of seeds.The elimination of snake vines is a secondary consideration.

……

Zheng Zhuo glanced at the vote.The weeding saw in his hand paused.

Seeds are important.

The weeding saw slowed down by half a beat, rubbing the root system of [Snake Vine] and hitting the ground, avoiding smashing the root system into a pulpy grass residue.

"Try to focus on interception—"

Zheng Zhuo tries to block the snake vines with a weeding saw.

thump.

thump.

sand.

The saw blade pierced the spore-laden air and hit the ground, sinking deep into the soil.

It cut off the roots of several snake vines, however, did not succeed in stopping the snake vines.

Snake vines shuttle left and right on the ground.

"Damn... so flexible..."

Zheng Zhuo didn't dare to knock hard, which seemed to be a fruitless attempt.The shape of the weeding saw determines that it is not suitable for intercepting running plants-you know, there are no running plants in reality.

Uh.

It seems to have.

That's not the point.

Only a few "rustling" sounds were heard, and the snake vine quickly squeezed past the small angle of the weeding saw.

"Well!"

Zheng Zhuo rushed forward.However, he caught a blank.

The roots of the snake vine slipped through his fingers and disappeared behind the bushes ahead.

……

Let the snake vine run away.Zheng Zhuo ran forward to push aside the vegetation, but he could no longer find the trace of the low root system.

Behind this is a very dangerous signal.

How long does it take for snake vine to recover its body?Will it turn around and attack?
Zheng Zhuo didn't dare to be careless.Holding the weeding saw in his hand, he looked around vigilantly.

In the meantime, he used a saw blade to trim as many nearby shrubs as possible.

The color of the raw earth is exposed more and more.

Time passed bit by bit.Zheng Zhuo built a trail where the stone wall entered the forest.

He didn't need to do this to this extent.Just cut out a path that allows you to pass.

But if the snake vine appears when fighting other strange plants, it will be very deadly.

Zheng Zhuo didn't dare to neglect.He trimmed the plants as far away from him as possible, and cleared the ground of all vegetation.

He spends a lot of time building roads.Then, go a short distance.

The sun moves across the sky.

Gradually, the time came to the afternoon.

……

【The situation of the small town】

[Town plot (+ advance road)]: 20 grids + 2 grids

[Forest Lot]: 80 grids

[Small town manpower]: 1
[Town facilities]: Docile and improved loofah flowers raised in captivity x 1, small building with vines x 1, mill, blacksmith shop
……

Zheng Zhuo heard strange noises deep in the forest.But he never encountered the strange plant again.

The advancement process was not very smooth because of his vigilant work.He thought, normally speaking, at this time, it can penetrate at least 6 blocks away.

But he couldn't help but be wary of the escaped snake vine.

He no longer has the [Corrosion Solution] with him, and he doesn't want to use the relatively expensive [Corrosion Solution] in such a place.

"……call."

Zheng Zhuo straightened up again and moved a little.

"Take a break."

He sat down on the spot, took out the tea and biscuits in his backpack and ate.

Simple camping.In this position, he can still clearly see the stone wall.So just such a simple rest is enough.

but……

"If we go deeper in the future, we will definitely need to do more complete camping work..."

If we cut out smooth and spacious roads like today, both forward and backward will be very fast.But in the future, for the sake of efficiency, it should not take a whole day to pave the road—after all, vegetation will cover these roads at night.

Considering the growth of plants at night, the best plan at this stage should be to go as far as possible in a day without looking back, and try to collect the most materials in one go before returning.After you can refine more powerful alchemy products, then consider the road issue.

But in this way, he needs to enter an area that cannot be visited in a day.

In this way, it is necessary to bring the alchemy crucible and more alchemy products that have been prepared.Tea and biscuits must be prepared. In order to ensure the safety of sleep, it is best to bring a hammock.

That luggage would be heavy.

"Is it feasible without the alchemy crucible? It's hard to say...would it be too unsafe..."

Zheng Zhuo thought about it for a long time.

Until I heard the "rustling" sound from the forest again.

Just like before, what kind of plant is passing by in the distance?
Zheng Zhuo looked forward.

……Do not.

That voice was approaching Zheng Zhuo.

"..."

Zheng Zhuo immediately picked up his backpack.He slowly put his hand on the handle of the weeding saw, and then lifted it up little by little...

at this time.

rustle!

The blades of grass ahead were snapped apart.

one...two...

Three [loofah flowers] appeared in front of Zheng Zhuo.

"Luffa flower?"

Didn't expect them to appear during the day too!Zheng Zhuo suddenly raised the weeding saw.

however.

In the next second, he noticed something unusual.

That is no ordinary [loofah flower].There are vine-like plants deeply pricked on their heads.

The root system of the plant got into the head of the loofah flower at the back, and then stretched out long vines, piercing into the loofah flower heads on the left and right sides.

Plants growing in their heads...

That is 【Snake Vine】.

"parasitic!?"

At the moment when Zheng Zhuo was astonished, a rancid wind rushed towards his face.

Three loofah flowers rushed towards Zheng Zhuo at the same time!

Their speed was a notch faster than the previous few nights, and their action goals were clearer.They stick out their mouths.

"Uh!"

Zheng Zhuo waved the weeding saw to block the first attack.But the loofah flower on the right waved its big head at this moment.

Bang!
With a muffled sound, Zheng Zhuo was knocked down to the ground.He rolled outward several times.

Fortunately, he didn't let go of the weed saw.

"This can't be lost... If I lose my life, there will be nothing...!"

Zheng Zhuo is clumsy on the left and right.He was attacked by three loofah flowers, and he was in danger.

If Zheng Zhuo just used the weeding saw to deal with the three loofah flowers, he didn't think there was any problem.

But now, under the command of [Snake Vine], there is a coordination between the three loofah flowers!
This cooperation is very simple, but it still increases Zheng Zhuo's pressure exponentially.

"Damn it!"

Zheng Zhuo swung out the weeding saw forcefully.The head of the loofah flower on the left was cut open, and flew far into the bushes.

One fell.However, the loofah flower on the right took advantage of this opportunity to catch up.

Click!

It bit Zheng Zhuo's shoulder.The corrosive liquid eroded the flesh in an instant.

"--Uh--"

It hurts so much!Even if bitten by a wild animal, it won't hurt so much——

The loofah flower in the middle rushed towards it at this time.

"!"

It slammed into Zheng Zhuo's stomach.

Zheng Zhuo was sent flying by this loofah flower.He fell to the ground, and for a moment, his eyes were completely black.

"... Goo... ah..."

Nausea welled up in my stomach.But Zheng Zhuo forcefully supported the ground and got up.

Jingle Bell.

The sound of wind chimes came from behind.

It turned out that Zheng Zhuo had reached the edge of the town while fighting and retreating!
"..."

There are stone walls and sliding tracks behind him.In front of them are the remaining two loofah flowers manipulated by [Snake Vine].

The wound on the shoulder was getting more and more painful.

Zheng Zhuo wasn't sure if he could insist on killing them.

If you use the stone wall to block, you can fight in a roundabout way.Maybe there is a way to get rid of this strange plant with a family.However, the corrosive liquid sprayed by the loofah flower will definitely destroy part of the stone wall.

There are also sliding tracks.

It will be safer if you can climb the sliding track and attack from a high place.

But at the same time, the corrosive liquid erodes the sliding track, which will cause greater losses-he has no steel.

"..."

Loofah flowers are approaching.

Zheng Zhuo needs to make a choice.

……
