One afternoon, a mutated virus swept across the globe, and zombies emerged in droves. Even more bizarrely, after the disaster began, many men and women carrying various weapons appeared.
Duri...
The warm sunshine shines on my body, and I smell the fragrance of grass.
Lu Cai wanted to stretch, but heard a "hissing" sound.
She frowned, then relaxed when she thought of what had just happened.
I had made an appointment with Yue Xiaoyan before, but Qin Yu and Zhao Yan both gathered in the mission area, and even Shi Rukui, who I hadn't seen for a long time, showed up.
Yue Xiaoyan was not angry about these people's behavior of taking points for free. She transferred the advance points to Lu Cai and settled all the accounts after coming out of the copy.
By the way, what copy did they choose?
It seems to be called "Animal Farm"?
Lu Cai was reminiscing when he felt the sunlight gradually getting warmer and slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing I saw was a large greenhouse with muddy ground. There was a wide-open window on one side, offering a view of the clear blue sky. People were seen far and near, and from time to time, someone was leading a horse out.
When Lu Cai first entered this dungeon, his mind was still a little confused. Looking at the scene in front of him, he was unable to react for a moment.
This should be the beginning of the plot...
Lu Cai looked around and didn't see any other players. Just as he was about to walk around, he heard the voice of a simple and honest young man.
"Have you heard? This time the crew is filming a historical war drama and they need a lot of horse actors!" The young man was faintly excited.
She turned around to look, but saw no one. She was wondering when the boy's voice rang out again.
"You're so good-looking, you must play the famous horse. You don't have to compete with us for extra roles."
A famous horse? Lu Cai's mind, originally full of doubts, froze when his eyes fell on the cow-colored spotted horse that was slowly approaching him.
At first she thought the flower horse was becoming a spirit, but gradually she realized...
Lu Cai looked down and saw a dark rein tied around his face. Beyond the reins were two straight, pitch-black horse legs?
A spirit is a horse turned into a human, and she seems to be... a human turned into a horse.
"What's wrong with you?" Hua Ma said with a worried look on his face. "Don't be afraid. If you're unlucky and end up being an extra in a war scene, just follow me. I know how to get around the bombs!"
bomb?
The more Lu Cai listened, the more confused she became. She sorted out her thoughts. This copy was called "Animal Farm". She remembered that this book was recommended in high school. It seemed to be about the animals in a farm rising up to resist the rulers?
Could it be that the player’s mission is also to rise up in resistance?
Lu Cai first sent a message in the group, and everyone was within the signal area, which made her feel a little relieved.
"What's going on with the bomb?" She planned to collect all the information she could get.
Hua Ma was very proud. "The crew is filming a war scene! There are some gunpowder explosions, and they use real bombs. They like to shoot footage of horses being blown away or killed. We have to be careful when we go over there."
Lu Cai: “…”
When you're a human, your life is only in danger when you encounter doomsday monsters or ghosts. Why is it that this first time as an animal, the beginning is a battlefield minesweeper?
"We are still lucky here--" A pleasant girl's voice came from the other side.
Lu Cai looked in the direction of the voice and saw a dark brown mare with a very clean fur and a smooth and shiny mane on the back of its neck.
Brown Horse was a little scared, her voice trembling, "I heard a few days ago, they were filming a cliff-falling scene, and the horse actor refused to cooperate. He ran to the edge of the cliff and stopped..." She trembled even more violently as she spoke, "So they tied the horse actor's eyes and made him rush over like this, and then he jumped with his eyes closed..."
Lu Cai frowned: "Isn't there an animal association to restrain it?"
Hua Ma looked at Lu Cai with a pitiful look. "What are you doing? Those directors used the death or injury of a few horses on set as a publicity stunt to exaggerate the pragmatism and grandeur of their war scenes. Who cares if the horses live or die?"
Because animals are not like humans, the crew cannot communicate with them verbally and can only use coercive means to force animals to behave in a standard manner. Therefore, many film and television crews with animals have been reported to have abused animals. At the beginning, the rumors may make some waves, but after being suppressed by capital and diverting attention, they will soon be forgotten.
After all, animal lives are not as precious as human lives.
Therefore, there are endless cases of actors and actresses abusing animals in film and television dramas.
But Cai Lu still didn't expect that there would be a stupid crew using animal cruelty as a gimmick to promote their "professionalism"?
"Today's a group show. All we have to do is run with the herd—" The flower horse thought it was his responsibility to comfort his companions. "As long as we don't step on the bombs, the most we'll get is injured, but we won't die."
"You're just gambling on your luck." Cai Lu complained unhappily.
At this time, a message flashed in the group -
[Zhao Yan: Grass, how did it turn into an animal?]
[Yue Xiaoyan: I turned into a goldfish! What should I do? I can’t even escape TAT]
[Lu Cai: Where are you all? I'm a horse now, so I can run faster. I'll go find you.]
[Yue Xiaoyan: I don’t know where it is QAQ]
[Caller Lu: Please describe the scene.]
[Yue Xiaoyan: It’s indoors, and it feels like a girl’s room…]
[Yue Xiaoyan: They seem to be filming a horror movie QAQ]
Lu Cai felt a little bad. He was filming a costume war movie here, but it was an indoor horror movie over there. The environment was too different.
She had to find a way to escape.
"Where are we?" Lu Cai asked the two enthusiastic new friends around him.
"What's wrong with you?" the crocodile asked incredulously. "We're at Animal Farm!" As he spoke, he began to imagine the future. "This is the dream factory for animal stars. Many animal superstars have come from here! I'm going to be a big star like them, the center of everyone's attention!"
He's dead, yet he's still a big star.
Lu Cai couldn't help but grumble inwardly, but he pretended to be eager to learn. "How big is the manor? Are there any other animals besides us?"
"I heard from a senior actor who went out to act that there are many houses in this manor, and all kinds of animal actors live there." Brown Horse whispered, and she showed envy. "That senior participated in a magical children's movie. Because of his outstanding performance, he was adopted. I heard that he played many famous horses. He didn't have to worry about being killed by explosions when performing in group scenes like us..."
Lu Cai was silent. Was this why they wanted to become animal stars? To avoid being hurt on the set.
Despite sighing, Lu Cai quickly adjusted her mindset. She thought, this map is quite large, and she must find a topographical map of "Animal Farm," otherwise where would she find her companions...
"Look at this little black horse," a young man in a peaked cap approached, leading a boy and a girl. "She's just three years old, healthy, and pure black. She's perfect for the lady's mount."
They were discussing Lu Cai.
The flower horse beside her was even more excited than her: "They chose you!"
"The heroine's mount!" Brown Horse was also full of envy. "I asked around. This drama has a vase heroine with very few scenes. Her mount was given by the young general and accompanied the heroine all the way to the end of the drama!"
Lu Cai, with a sullen face, wanted her to carry the actress until the end of the shoot? What a joke.
But then again, this little brown horse looks timid, but it has good horse power and actually knows the entire script?
It is true that all things have spirits, and everyone has their own tricks.
The man and woman looked at Lu Cai for a while, and the man in the baseball cap quickly pulled the reins on Lu Cai's mouth, pulling Lu Cai left and right to show him to the two people.
Lu Cai was reluctant, but thinking that she had no choice but to turn around twice with her eyes closed.
Finally, it seemed as if it was finalized. The two people who were selecting horses decided on her and no longer looked at the others. The man in the baseball cap led Lu Cai out.
"You have to keep going!" The little brown horse and the spotted horse encouraged Lu Cai, "You must become an animal star!"
Lu Cai nodded to them, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He never thought that one day he would receive care from two ponies.
......
The man in the baseball cap led her forward. Although Lu Cai was a foal now, he was still a three-year-old young horse. To be chosen as the heroine's mount, his figure and appearance must be the best among horses.
So she raised her head, which was higher than the baseball cap in front of her.
When she left the greenhouse, a warm breeze blew through the hair on her neck, and there was even a faint scent of flowers.
The background season of this copy is actually spring.
She was being pulled along without even looking at the surroundings. As she gradually entered a meadow, she heard the sound of horses galloping from the other side of the gentle slope.
Lu Cai couldn't help but pay more attention, thinking that might be the filming location.
The man in the baseball cap pulled her forward until they entered an open-air horse farm surrounded by wooden fences. On one side of the farm, there were many compartments, similar to the car wash outside, except that horses were washed here.
"Master, this is the 'Jingying' chosen by the crew. Please wash up and put on the horse harness." The man in the baseball cap said to a middle-aged man in a quite respectful tone.
Lu Cai couldn't help but tense up. Although her body was that of a foal, her heart was that of a human! Being brushed by someone?
Alas--
Run! You must run!
Lu Cai planned to take advantage of the chaos to escape and then find a way to find his friends.
"Okay, you can leave it there." The middle-aged man smiled at the man in the baseball cap, then shouted to the other side of the horse washing room, "Cheng Juan! Wash this horse!"
He finished speaking, and a girl's voice echoed from behind. A moment later, Lu Cai saw a beautiful girl in her twenties, wearing gloves, walking towards him.
Lu Cai noticed the other woman's expression. She had a stern face and a frown on her face, and seemed very angry. But when she took the reins from the woman in the cap and looked at Lu Cai, her dark eyes suddenly became gentle.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a shower and brushing, don't be afraid—" Perhaps it was because the other party's tone was too gentle, and Lu Cai, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to escape, was led into the bathroom in a daze.
When she came to her senses, the harness on her mouth had been fixed with a rope, stretched straight on both sides to stabilize her body.
Hey! Beauty has misled me!
Lu Cai was in a bad mood, but he thought that he would change the horse harness later and then take advantage of the chaos to run away!
While she was thinking, Cheng Juan had already started running water, and the water temperature was just right. Taking a bath at such a suitable temperature in the warm spring sunshine was quite a pleasure.
Cheng Juan stood on a wooden ladder, stroking Lu Cai's neck while gently washing the horse's back with a water pipe.
Lu Cai was tickled by the gentle hand, and he was a little dazed again——
[Yue Xiaoyan: They killed the fish! That director actually dissected a goldfish alive for a close-up!]
