Interactive Fiction: The Right Choice After Unemployment

Chapter 146
Option 15.8 52.6%, Option 31.6 [-]%, Option [-] [-]%.

……

【Option [-]】

[Continue to explore the path and install the sliding track by yourself, let the loofah flowers defend the town]

……

The defense of the town is necessary.

[Stone Brick-Fence Mixed Wall] - [Damage Trap] - [Wind Chime] Now that the defense system has been destroyed, if you want to protect the town, you can only rely on the loofah flowers controlled by snake vines.

If the strange plants rush into the house, first the field will be occupied and hostile plants will grow.Secondly, mills and blacksmith shops may be destroyed.Worst case scenario, the mayor's office is taken over...

Zheng Zhuo is not yet ready to change homes with [caregiver].

He released the snake vines from searching and processing supplies, and let them wield [sharp claws] to guard the perimeter of the stone wall.

Then, take stock of the damage yourself.

Thirty percent of the damage traps are still usable.Most of the wind chimes were destroyed.

Zheng Zhuo put these usable alchemy products back outside the stone wall, and alchemized some new ones.

Time needs to be saved now.Zheng Zhuo didn't want to spend too much time on fortifications, so the layout was sparser and rougher.

Stonewall he gave up entirely.

"Look good here."

After letting the loofah flowers keep a close eye on the broken stone wall, Zheng Zhuo set off with the newly made [sliding track].

He took the supplementary [Broken Bomb], continued to explore the road, and stepped up the laying of the track.

He wants to hurry up as much as possible.

Just now, loofah flowers can climb on the sliding track like pumpkins.

They can also follow tracks.In this way, the road is necessary.

Zheng Zhuo only took the most basic rest.He wants to continue to go deep in a short period of time, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

rustling.

The sound of riding on the sliding track resounded in the forest.Zheng Zhuo flew over those low bushes.

Pumpkin knocked down many trees.This instead made Zheng Zhuo's progress smoother.

He installs along the path of the pumpkin bulldozed.On the basis of the original, 8 sliding tracks were installed soon.

……

【The situation of the small town】

[Small town plot (+ the path of the sliding track)]: 22 grids + 22 grids

[Unexplored forest (the distance from the end of the sliding track to the farm)]: 36 grids

[Town manpower]: 1+3
[Town facilities]: Docile and improved loofah flowers manipulated by snake vines x 3, small buildings with vines x 1, mill, blacksmith shop, stone-fence mixed wall system (damaged), sliding track

……

Now, he has reached the distance of a small town in the forest.

He is about 2 small towns away from the farm.

This is very close.

"6 squares..."

Zheng Zhuo wants to install another 6 blocks of [sliding tracks] before the sun goes down.In this way, the distance can be shortened to 1.5 small towns.

This is the limit distance he can install the sliding track in one day without being disturbed by strange plants.

intensify.

Zheng Zhuo swung the hammer head and struck the ground nails.

The sound of clanging echoed in the forest.

After a while...

Another voice came.

It came from the air.

"—Zheng—"

"—Zheng Zhuo!"

Human voice.

It is newsletter.

Zheng Zhuo raised his head and opened the panel.

It was Zhuang Yusheng.

"what happened?"

"It's a big deal!!! It's urgent—"

He says big things every time.

"Say it."

"I'm not talking about it! It's urgent——I saw plants gathering around the farm from that perspective!"

"There's a lot—a whole bunch of plants are densely flocking around the viewing angle!"

All the strange plants are concentrating on the farm?

Oops.

Zheng Zhuo was shocked.

Indeed, he hadn't seen strange plants in the middle of the forest for a long time.The strange plants in the forest seem to be concentrated in the front—that is, near the town.If we say that the strange plants in the middle are all moving closer to the farm, it makes sense that the forest is so empty.

"Why is your perspective gathering plants?"

Zheng Zhuo immediately asked.

Is it just to increase the manpower around the farm?In order to better protect the farm?

Or……

"My perspective is pruning those plants with big scissors! There is also some liquid, some bags of...fertilizer? I don't know what it is—" Zhuang Yusheng gave the worst answer, "This perspective puts those Parts of plants mixed-joined-to make them grow on top of each other-many kinds-I don't know how to describe-"

"……grafting?"

"Ah, that's right! I have that feeling! Hey, you're a genius, you can think of it!"

"Don't praise me. I'm just used to the naming convention here... I don't think it's a good thing."

Not good in every sense.

The strange plants and the strange plants are grafted together.There is also an army of strange plants.

[Carer] is fully prepared around her farm.

Will she just be defensive?
No, she even made a big guy like [Pumpkin].

Next, we must attack the town.It's just a matter of sooner or later.

"I'll go get ready."

Zheng Zhuo ended the call with Zhuang Yusheng.

Next, he immediately sought support from Chu Huairen.

"Hello?"

"--Hey--"

"What's the current situation in the forest?"

Zheng Zhuo cut to the chase.

"—There are a lot of damaged plants in the plot...The farmstead is becoming more and more obvious. The color and size of nearby plants are very abnormal, and they spread to a radius of 10 plots."

"..."

Zheng Zhuo originally thought that there was still a distance of 36 plots between him and them.But now it appears that there are only 26 plots left.

1 small town a little more distance.

"Thank you."

Zheng Zhuo can't talk for too long.

He still has a lot to do.

……

into the night.

The jingle still echoed.

Zheng Zhuo didn't return when the sun went down.He drank more tea, ate more biscuits, and worked more hours.

6 more grids were installed.

The distance between him and the farm shortened in one go.

There are 20 grids left.Just a small town away.

Zheng Zhuo stopped at this moment.

There is still a long time before dawn.At night, the air is full of dispersed spores and visibility is poor.

The installation speed has dropped a lot, but thanks to the weeding hacksaw and the damage left by the previous pumpkin patrol, he can still maintain a relatively acceptable speed.

According to this speed, Zheng Zhuo thinks that as long as he keeps relying on tea and biscuits and works hard all night, it is possible to advance 20 squares before dawn.

"Crush work before the deadline..."

Bad memories came back again.Strange, it is obviously an ideal pastoral life, how could it be like this?
Thoughts come back quickly.Now is the time for serious thinking.

Pushing 20 squares is a very reluctant tactic.The more likely scenario is that it was already daylight when the last few blocks were installed.

Zheng Zhuo is not sure whether the dawn is good for him.The plants will be more violent at night, but the [caretaker] as the commander now seems to be active during the day.

Moreover, in this case, he must attack alone.

Or should we go back now and take the loofah flowers with us and launch an all-out attack?

Just give up the town here...

Kind of scary.The track hasn't been built yet.It takes a long time to flee after being chased.

If the town is also invaded during this period of time, it will become a situation where there are enemies on both sides.

However, this is also the most promising plan to break into the opponent's interior before the opponent is fully ready.

Of course, there is one last solution...

Waiting to attack.

Playing at home is more familiar and reassuring.

But according to the amount Chu Huairen said...

I am afraid that even if the stone wall is intact and surrounded by damage traps, it will be difficult to resist such a terrifying wave of strange plants.
