【Option [-]】

【Docile Improvement】

……

After referring to the opinions of the vote, Zheng Zhuo finally decided to make a docile improvement on the snake vine.

Converting [crops] into [crops/population] is really attractive.

"Manpower is needed right now."

Zheng Zhuo was thinking while stirring the cauldron.

He is going to go deep into the forest for a long time.And the town must be manned to ensure basic material supply and weeding around the site, and the docile and improved snake vine can play its greatest role in this regard.

White smoke rises.Zheng Zhuo took out [Seeds of Docile and Improved Snakevine] from the pot.

This marks the official start of his next phase of work.

……

Zheng Zhuo made some [simple fences] and planted [seeds of the docile and improved snake vine] in the field.Having done this, he came to the edge of the field.

He carefully checked the condition of the stone wall.

"...not very optimistic."

There are two serious breaks in the stone wall.This makes the stone wall completely lose its defensive function.On windy nights, strange plants can find the entrance directly through changes in the sound of the wind.

They don't climb walls.But it is not difficult for them to pass through the collapsed wall.

"We need to quickly surround this side."

Zheng Zhuo left immediately.He returned to the middle of the town and dismantled a large number of [barbed wire fences]—now that the [sliding track] was laid, he no longer decided to use this place as a reserved position.

He turned all the [barbed wire fences] that he dismantled into [simple fences].He used [wide leaves] and [vines] to tie the simple fence to the sliding track, and used the sliding track to go back and forth between the mayor's office and the stone wall, and quickly moved a large number of fences to the stone wall.Restoration work then began immediately.

"First pile as many stones as you can..."

Zheng Zhuo tried his best to build together the stone bricks that hadn't been damaged too much.But unfortunately, most of the stone bricks were turned into a pile of fine powder because they were soaked in the corrosive liquid dripping from the loofah flowers.After building for a while, Zheng Zhuo realized that there was a serious shortage of stone bricks.

Zheng Zhuo had to use more [Simple Fences] than expected.He repeatedly reinforced the broken stone walls, where he erected more than three layers of fence netting.

Considering the problem of air leakage, Zheng Zhuo also used a kind of alchemy product made by mixing [water] + [wood glue] + [plant ash] + [wide leaves] + [hard shell fragments]: [quick-drying pulp].

This stuff feels like very thin cement.Zheng Zhuo stuffed it between the fence nets.

He did his best.

But at sunset on this day, there is still a big gap between the fence wall and the stone wall.

"Is it just a matter of luck?"

Zheng Zhuo was a little uneasy about whether the strange plant could find the weakness of the stone wall.

It wasn't all bad today, though.

When making the wall, Zheng Zhuo collected the materials left over from the three loofah flowers that he had killed.

Among the regular materials, he had a pleasant surprise.

"seed……!"

Perhaps because they have not been burned, the bodies of these loofah flowers are quite well preserved.Among the three loofah flowers, one dissected out the [loofah flower seeds]!
After discovering it, Zheng Zhuo immediately took the [sliding track] to quickly return.As a matter of course, he carried out [Docile Improvement] on this seed, and planted it in the field before dark.

Now, he has two [loofah flowers] and one [snake vine].

……

Night is coming soon.

On the first night after losing the stone wall, Zheng Zhuo didn't dare to just go back to the mayor's office and fall asleep.Worried about the possible danger, he stayed overnight in a small building near the field.

Those wanton vines provided good cover for Zheng Zhuo, and at the same time, it was also a good place to set up a [hammock].Zheng Zhuo set up the bed here, then closed his eyes and rested his mind.

During this period, whenever he heard the faint sound of a bell in the distance, he would get up and go to check.

It is true that some of the bell sounds are caused by plants.More precisely, a lot of loofah flowers.They do notice the difference between a stone wall and a fence wall, but not much - they will move closer to the fence wall, but will not take any further action after hitting it.Although the current walls can be easily smashed by them.

Zheng Zhuo cut off their leaves with a weeding saw and drove them away.He didn't pursue it, because it was not a wise choice to go into the forest of night.

And some of the bells sounded because of the wind.

The rest is Zheng Zhuo's auditory hallucination.

"..."

night shift.This is also a kind of work that destroys the human spirit.Especially when you finish your day shift and then go on to the night shift.

In the middle of the night, Zheng Zhuo's auditory hallucinations became more and more serious.For a while, he felt that the wind chimes everywhere were ringing non-stop.

So Zheng Zhuo simply slept in the middle of the field ridge.

This feels terrible.But leaving the original environment, auditory hallucinations did reduce a lot.

The wind chimes stopped ringing.Zheng Zhuo wants to sleep for a while before dawn...

……at this time.

"Hey hey—can you hear—can you hear—"

With a super loud volume, Zheng Zhuo bounced up from the ridge of the field suddenly, he only felt that there were stars in his eyes and buzzing in his head.

"Who - Zhuang Yusheng!?"

"It's me! Hey!"

"...you'd better have something really important."

Zhuang Yusheng was not standing in front of him now.This is a good thing for him.Zheng Zhuo wasn't sure if he had slapped himself awake with his hand, would he be able to control himself not to hit his nose.

"Huh? What? Hey, I said... I glanced at my phone and saw the scene again."

"..."

"That perspective is now near the farm surrounded by a large group of plants! TA is growing a very large plant - bigger than all the plants near the farm! The head looks like some kind of fruit, but the fruit is split , there are very sharp teeth inside...the root system below is also very thick...Hey, it moves! This thing can leave the soil, swing the roots at a very fast speed and move on the ground-is it true or not? "

"what?"

"I know it's hard to believe! But that thing can run! Is it still a plant?"

"No, no, I know the plants here can run, I mean..."

"...the other party is preparing more powerful plants?"

"From what I've seen, that's right."

……

Oops.

After cutting off the call, Zheng Zhuo began to see cold sweat on his back.

The other party is also preparing.Is it the same as [Evolution World] at that time, did it take defense?

Large plants with sharp teeth and great speed...

I also have to deal with it.What should I do?
Zheng Zhuo lay on the ridge of the field, thinking all the time.

But perhaps because he was too tired, he fell asleep before he knew it.

……

"..."

"……what!"

Zheng Zhuo suddenly opened his eyes.What he saw was a misty sky.

Spores floated in the air.Morning came.

"It's so cold..."

Zheng Zhuo gasped and got up from the ground.

He was sore.But when he saw the scene in front of him, he immediately forgot his physical feelings.

Beside him, in the field, new loofah flowers and snake vines have grown.

The snake vine has spontaneously inserted the vines into the heads of the loofah flowers on both sides of it.The loofah flower no longer circles slowly, but just stands there in the dawn air.

"Success."

Zheng Zhuo muttered to himself.

They look really scary.

"……come over."

He called out tentatively.

The two loofah flowers slowly turned to Zheng Zhuo's direction.

Chacha!There were two soft beeps.

The loofah flower jumped out of the [Simple Fence]!They swayed and quickly approached Zheng Zhuo——

"All right! All right—stop!"

stopped.

Can really understand people.It was just the feeling of not saying a word that was horrible.

Also, it turns out that you can jump out.

Zheng Zhuo tried his best to turn his hazy brain when he just woke up.He quickly realized one thing.

He can assign work.

……
