Chapter 20
"Is it right ahead? How far is it?" Si Shen swung the sword mechanically.
He had already walked ten kilometers and had not yet reached their destination.
Today is the fifth day since the mission began. There are still five days left. If he fails to complete the mission, he will be swallowed by the farm.
Frog led the way in front, while Niancheng Owl was a small ball, lying in Si Shen's pocket, acting as a reassuring pendant.
The adult owl split itself into two parts, with the larger part released back into the forest to hunt on its own near the farm.
A small number of them continued to stick around the judge and act as pendants.
So this time when Si Shen came out to look for the strange species, Nian Chengxiao asked Si Shen to bring a small pendant.
From time to time, it would crawl to Si Shen's neck and wipe the sweat off his neck with its little tentacles.
The young owl was a small ball, nestled beside Si Shen's neck, rubbing its head against it from time to time.
Si Shen didn't feel anything yet, but he turned pink first, and immediately retracted his tentacles, pretending to be a doll.
Seeing that the judge didn't react, he sneaked up again.
Si Shen could of course feel the alien rubbing against him, but the mature owl felt cool and it was quite comfortable lying on his neck.
And the little mushroom alien rubs against you like a kitten, which is really cute!
With the indulgence of the judge, the alien opened its tentacles, stretched itself out, and pressed itself against the judge's neck.
"Mmm~"
Warm human, stick to it~
Frog had amazing eyesight and immediately spotted the alien being acting coquettishly with humans, with an expression of disgust on his face.
It chose to turn a blind eye. This human was always endlessly tolerant of alien species. It was normal for the alien species to regard him as their partner and emit a mating scent.
Luckily, their destination was almost here, and by then he would be far, far away from this dog couple!!!
Amid Frog's resentment, the group finally arrived at their destination - the botanical garden!
After several days of hard work by the judge, it was discovered that the farmland on the farm actually responded to Duan Cang!
So the judge had his own guess about the planting on the farm.
Farms are for growing plants, but ordinary plants can no longer survive in this world.
Even humans have begun to eat low-level alien plants, so the plants that can satisfy the farm must also be alien.
So Si Shen went out and killed a few low-level alien species. It was easy to find plant alien species in the mountains.
However, whether it was the plant species or the adult owls, the farmland did not react at all.
The judge was a little confused. The system clearly said that the farm could only grow plants, but now there were only plant species, and it didn't respond.
But it’s not true to say that the farm has no reaction to the alien species. It is still very excited about Duancang.
Unfortunately, Duancang cannot be planted in farmland.
The judge began to think about a question: what is the difference between Duan Cang and other alien species!
The only difference between Duan Cang and other alien species here is that he is not a naturally born alien species.
He forcibly swallowed the energy core and was corroded and assimilated by the extremely strong pollution, resulting in his current state.
Suddenly, the judge had an idea!
Energy core!
If the farm does not support transplanting grown plant species, you will have to use the core to grow them from scratch!
It’s the same when playing games. At the beginning, players are given seeds to plant, but there is no time to plant the finished product!
He remembered that there was a rule in the farmer's bylaws that the farmer needed to provide nutrients to the farm.
Nutrients provide energy. The system issues a task to plant plants, so the things planted must be items that can provide energy.
He remembered that the novel said that in addition to the source crystals discharged from extremely polluted places and alien species, energy cores can also provide energy!
However, the alien energy core is too polluting, and humans who come into contact with it will be assimilated. Therefore, the energy core has not become an equivalent currency like the source crystal.
Since the farm is in urgent need of energy, the more energy it has, the better.
Moreover, the farm itself is already very strange. It is better to say that it is a variant of an alien species than a system.
Therefore, there is an 80% probability that the alien energy core is the nutrients needed by the farm and the seeds that can be planted.
So the judge asked Wa Wa to look for any alien species nearby that were easier to bully and had already condensed an energy core.
Thanks to Frog's efforts, he finally found such an alien species fifteen kilometers away from the farm.
From Frog's stammering expression, the judge knew that there was a huge plantation there.
There are vegetables, fruits and everything in it, but it is now in a semi-abandoned state.
After the plant mutation, many facilities were destroyed and looked like they had been abandoned for many years.
As for the alien species that manages this plantation, it was observed to be a mutated tomato.
In fact, in addition to this species, there are also some alien species in other places.
But among the mutant tigers, the army of rats as big as humans, and the huge rocks, this tomato looks so weak and helpless.
Judge: It’s decided to be you!
So Tomato became the soft persimmon that was squeezed and was visited by the three members of the Sishen family.
Si Shen parted the grass in front of him. An abandoned plantation lay in the valley. The iron roof had long since collapsed, leaving a jagged gap, revealing the rafters inside.
He walked into the garden, stepping on the cracked fragments of pottery. The smell of humus mixed with the smell of iron suddenly became strong.
A rusty hoe was stuck diagonally in the half-man-high weeds, and the wooden handle had long since rotted into honeycomb-like debris.
The cedar door of the main house was tilted and creaked in the wind.
The judge stepped forward and pushed open the half-open door.
The cold air leaking from the crack in the door brushed against the back of his neck, and the knuckles of Si Shen's hand, which were gripping the flashlight tightly, turned slightly white.
As the beam of light swept across the wall, it suddenly illuminated a large brown spot.
Is that mold or dried blood?
There was a pile of black sacks in the corner, and dark red mucus was slowly oozing out of one of the bulging bags, winding like a thin snake on the cement floor.
There was a clanging sound from the distance, as if iron sheets were blown by the wind. The judge turned around abruptly, but found nothing.
Suddenly, in the extremely quiet environment, the laughter of children was heard.
The judge immediately closed the door, climbed through the window, and left the hut.
Frog flew silently and left the main house with Cheese.
Wa Wa brought Si Shen to a place where they could observe the main house and saw several half-grown children dragging a large sack into the main house.
Si Shen felt it was not convenient for him to go over there himself, so he signaled Wa Wa to eavesdrop.
Frog immediately understood, glided above the main house, tilted his head and began to eavesdrop.
"Boss, is there enough fertilizer for the plants tomorrow?" Shi Lei's honest voice came out.
Kang Le looked at the two sacks in front of him and nodded, indicating that there was enough fertilizer for tomorrow.
Shi Lei saw Kang Le nod, showing his white teeth, and clapped his hands and cheered.
"Wow, then we can survive tomorrow and have food to eat, great!"
Yaya saw Shi Lei cheering and clapped his hands with a smile: "Yeah!"
Kang Le touched Shi Lei and Yaya's heads and said, "Yes, we can still have food tomorrow and survive."
Bi Jin gave an ugly smile, "Food."
He looked at the two bags of "fertilizer" in the house again, and for a moment he thought that there was nothing wrong with being a fool. At least he didn't have to worry every day.
They have been trapped in this strange plantation for five days. Ever since they entered the plantation, they have seen the rules of the plantation.
【Plantation Gardener Rules:
1. Everyone who enters a plantation is a gardener, and gardeners need to complete their work.
2. Gardeners must meet all the requirements of the plants and cannot refuse them.
3. It is normal for plants to suck blood and flesh, so don't be afraid.
4. Gardeners love plants and can give everything for them!
5. Gardeners cannot be lazy! 】
And the dried corpse hanging on the tree next to them was undoubtedly their predecessor.
If they can't complete the above details, then they can also go cosplay beef jerky.
The daily job of a gardener in a plantation is to fertilize and water the plants on a regular basis.
It seems not difficult, but in fact every step is lingering on the edge of death.
The plants in the plantation are not ordinary plants at all, and the fertilizers they need are naturally not ordinary fertilizers.
The plants in the plantation need blood food, and it is full of bloody mud.
They need to go to the northwest corner of the plantation, bring back the meat paste, and fertilize the plants in the northeast corner.
When Kang Le was picking up the meat paste, he also saw a severed hand.
His face turned pale in an instant. He had been mentally prepared, but when he actually saw the human hands, he felt an uncontrollable nausea rising in his stomach.
The stomach was already empty and could not vomit out anything except acid.
Kang Le looked at the children who were still waiting for him behind, and gritted his teeth, picked up a wooden stick, and picked the people out.
He picked up a bag of flesh and blood and took them back to the main house.
The next day, they had to feed the fertilizer to the serrated plants.
The plants growing in the northeast corner no longer look like their original appearance. Their roots are red and wriggling like blood vessels.
Throw fertilizer at the roots and you will see the red tubes start to move rhythmically.
Kang Le knew that these alien species were eating.
Throw a bag of flesh and blood to the aliens, and they still need to fetch water to irrigate it.
Fortunately, the water used for irrigation was normal water, but the area around the pool was covered with thorns.
The thorns are dark red in color, and the vines are covered with some black tubes that look like the blood vessels of the thorns.
The blood vessels are connected to the spikes, which are strangely covered with flower buds.
They coil around the pool, and if a living creature approaches, the strange buds will open, revealing a human eyeball-like sphere inside.
These eyeballs can rotate 180 degrees, and the pupils are always locked on creatures near the pool.
These thorns will not actively harm people, but their roots are deeply rooted in the bottom of the pond.
When someone approaches, the pool will make a buzzing sound, and a thin layer of black mist will float above the pool and begin to spread.
Kang Le knew that there was something wrong with the black fog, but he had to go.
Bi Jin tore off her clothes and handed them to Kang Le, asking him to use them as a mask.
Kang Le took the cloth, tied it around his face, and walked towards the pool.
Until the water in the pool was drained, the thorns did not cause any trouble, as if all this was just a scary special effect.
After getting the water, Bi Jin picked up the bucket and walked back.
They watered the plants with trepidation, and when they saw the blood vessels leading to the main house disappear, they knew that their mission for the day was accomplished.
Back at the main house, they can get their food for the day.
They are some rotten leaves. Although they don’t look good, they are edible.
These days, they survived on those rotten leaves.
Kang Le made a gesture, "Xiao Lei and Ya Ya are here, and Brother Xiao Jin and I will go get some food."
"Don't worry, Boss. I will take good care of Yaya. She will be a good boy!"
Shi Lei touched Yaya's head, Yaya rubbed it, and then nodded to indicate that she would be obedient.
Bi Jin followed Kang Le out, and only spoke after making sure that Shi Lei and Yaya couldn't hear him.
"There is not enough fertilizer." Kang Le's expression was serious.
Bi Jin had a look of understanding on his face. "I guessed it. Your expression has been off since yesterday. Besides, this is the aliens' territory. I don't believe they would be so kind as to let us work for them."
A child who personally handled the death certificates of his parents is very mature.
Kang Le looked at Bi Jin, and he didn't know what to do now.
They were too young and incapable to escape from such a large plantation.
But he was unwilling to let them give up their lives like this.
Bi Jin didn't say anything either. The two of them were only in their early twenties, and their shoe size was not even as big as Si Shen's.
There was truly no other way, so Frog flew over their heads and returned to the judge.
The judge was silent for a while. He didn't expect to see such a young child here.
From Wa Wa's retelling, we learned that these children were orphans.
Just now, the judge was still a little hesitant. After all, the last alien with an energy core was a puppeteer.
In that battle, the alien was killed at the cost of Duan Cang's sacrifice.
Now, to say that I’m not afraid of plantation tomatoes would be a lie.
But when he saw those children, the judge became unsure.
The judge decided to test the waters first, and if he could kill him, he would do it right away.
But if not, then take these children away first.
After making the decision, the judge pulled the Niancheng Owl off his neck.
They are going to war and need the help of the main body of adult owls.
The adult owl waved its tentacles, stroking and pinching its own fingers, and made strange chirping sounds from time to time.
The main body that was eating the alien outside had received the signal, dropped the half-eaten alien and immediately rushed to the plantation.
His spouse is calling him, and he wants to go find his spouse!
The academic alien who has already graduated from elementary school knows what a spouse means.
The judge did not refuse his proposal and even kissed him!
This means that the judge agrees to be his spouse, and they are a family!
The adult owl spread itself out in an instant, and the snow-white mycelium fell to the ground like catkins and disappeared.
The speed of the entire fungus moving on the ground was far slower than that of the mycelium moving underground, and the mycelium soon arrived near the plantation.
When we got here, the adult owl came out from underground again.
The ground of the plantation is covered with roots, like a developed monitoring network. If an adult owl wants to enter, it will be discovered by the alien species inside.
The adult owl climbed up the wall, crawled over it, and then rolled towards the trial.
Si Shen was on the tree when he saw a huge ball flying towards him. Of course, it would have been better if there was no head in the middle.
