Option one 41.6%, option two 58.4%.

……

【Option [-]】

[Block people first.Stop the flame attack, use the weeding hacksaw to go to the back door to catch people]

……

catch people.

In an instant, Zheng Zhuo made this decision.

He made the loofah flowers move sideways quickly.When Zheng Zhuo's body moved across the side of the house, he jumped off the loofah flower that supported him.

He landed on the outside of the back door, and at the same time, pulled out the weeding hacksaw that had been inserted between the loofah flower vines.

The hacksaw was scalding hot from the flames.

But that was the blow.

Squeak.

The back door opened.

Zheng Zhuo gritted his teeth and thrust the hacksaw forward——

chap!
The hacksaw missed the entry panel, and was hitting the throat of the middle-aged woman who ran out of it.

Slightly fat, not tall.Simple face, with gray temples.

Zheng Zhuo first saw the face of the [caregiver] in [Plant Disaster World].It was indeed her—he had seen it in the golden space.

"Alas……!"

[Career] let out a moan in his throat.She raised her hand abruptly—

what to doAre there any weird plants in the house?Are there any strange plants outside?Could it be that a trap has been prepared——

Zheng Zhuo has already held [Broken Bomb] in the palm of his hand.

[Career] raises hands to the sides of the head.

"—blame—monster—!!! No—don't kill me—"

[Carer] Cried and surrendered.

She was trembling all over, no matter how she looked at it, she was terribly frightened.

"……what?"

This situation is too unexpected.Zheng Zhuo couldn't figure out what happened for a while, so he froze in place.

……

"So, you thought that a monster had taken over the town, so you nervously planted many plants to resist the attack?"

Zheng Zhuo sat down in the living room of the [caregiver] farm, put his hand on his forehead, and asked.

"That's right! Oh, hey...boy, you are too scary."

The middle-aged woman who is the "caregiver" is sitting opposite.She leaned on her face and sighed.

"It's no wonder that Auntie is so nervous. I usually go to the town to buy some daily necessities every few days..."

So there was contact! ?
"They don't know that the spores are from the mushrooms you raised?"

"Huh? Is it made by the mushrooms I raised? I thought the sky here was always green."

Ok.Neither do the parties.

"...You continue."

"I went to the small town that day to buy some new nails, but when I got there... oh? Why did all the people disappear and no one was left behind! I thought something terrible had happened, so I ran back quickly. "

No, they just happened to have chosen that day to move out.

"Then, that night, I asked my lovely loofah flowers to go to the town to see if something happened - I didn't dare to investigate by myself, for fear of zombies or something - modern movies seem to be I like acting like that, it's scary."

"Then, suddenly it caught fire! The fire was so big, I could see it from such a distance—oh my god, it was so scary, not a single loofah flower came back..."

This time I did it.Sorry to scare you.

"The next day, I worked up the courage to take a look by myself. As a result, as soon as I got to the stone wall, I saw a black figure with a saw in his hand chopping vines like crazy! I know what it is - that thing suddenly turned its head, as if it saw me! I was so scared that I was out of my mind - I ran quickly! That guy even caught up, it really scared my life It’s gone! I’ve been running for a long time, and I don’t know when I will get rid of it... Hey, young man, why are you covering your face all the time?”

"...nothing. Just heard some horrible things."

"Right? You really think it's scary, don't you? Oh, drink some tea to calm your shock... The tea made from white grass is very good."

"Hey, where did I say it? Oh yes..."

"When I got back to the farm, I quickly called all the plants over. I didn't dare to call those close to the town, for fear that the thing would rush up suddenly! I piled them up at the door, for fear that the thing would rush over. Then in the early hours of this morning, there was a sudden commotion! Next, there were fires everywhere..."

"Er. I think it should be all right now. Really."

What else can Zheng Zhuo say?All he could do was nod his head to make himself appear sincere.

"Hey, by the way, little brother, do you know that thing? What is that thing? I think you are the same as that thing, you are all black."

"Black?"

Zheng Zhuo was taken aback.

【Carer】Can't you see your own appearance?

Why?He had no recollection of what he had done to his appearance—

He looked at the panel.

"what."

He saw that the [Transformation] skill was on.

When did this light up?In his memory, this thing is always on...

Not so when entering the world.after that……

Later, he was avoiding the loofah flowers patrolling in the middle of the night, all he wanted was not to be discovered...

Could it be that it was opened at that time?
Zheng Zhuo turned off [Transformation].

"Oh! Brother, I can see you now! What kind of magic is this?"

OKZheng Zhuo knew why he frightened the [caregiver], and he also knew why the [caregiver] had no hostility but never tried to communicate with him.

"What have I become... a shadow monster..."

He also knew why the strange plants couldn't see him and could only rely on his voice to argue his position.

Very useful skill.

But there was only a sense of exhaustion in his heart.

...Don't think so much, the more you think about it, the sadder it will be.

Do your job well.Task.

"Sister, do you remember your family?"

"Family? Oh, I've always lived here alone, don't tell me..."

"...Wait...I...remember..."

"I'm here to take you home to your family."

Zheng Zhuo used a more understandable term.He stood up from the bench.

……

The flames of the [Long Spitfire Gun] sprayed across the exterior of the farm.Vines, vegetation, thick leaves and caps turn into fly ash and fall off.

The farm was finally restored to its original form in the flames.

【Carer】Standing outside the farm, clasped hands, watching all this worriedly.

And Zheng Zhuo stood on the shoulders of the loofah flowers.

Soon, the last piece of vegetation on the facade was also burned.The house reveals the decorative garland that tops it.

As the garland was also burned, it fell, and a shiny golden card fell out of it.

Zheng Zhuo stretched out his hand and caught it.He patted the heads of the loofah flowers, jumped off them, and handed the card to the [caregiver].

The golden light lit up, overshadowing the flames.

……

……

In the pure white world, golden light flashed.

The young woman raised her head.She saw the eccentric participant return.

But this time, after he fell, he stood there as if he had lost his mind.

"I don't think your personality damage is very strong. What's the matter?"

"...after being suspected of abducting a little girl, he threatened a middle-aged woman with a knife...haha..."

"...?"

Zheng Zhuo didn't answer her.He just stood there, holding his head, muttering to himself.
