Chapter 14 Chapter 14 [Get an additional "mysterious seed" x1...
"ha?"
"Then hold on tight!" Xue Kai, who was driving the car normally, was very confused, but he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom immediately, then suddenly turned the steering wheel, brushing against the abandoned car on the side of the road, and rushed through the guardrail with a "bang".
All of a sudden, the whole car seemed to fly out, falling from halfway up the hill, making another loud "bang" sound.
Even though the shock almost shook out his internal organs, Xue Kai still kept his foot on the accelerator, ignoring all the obstacles in front of him and the fields that were not even considered roads, and continued to drive forward desperately.
Almost as soon as we left the previous road, a loud earth-shaking sound came from behind.
The three people who had recovered subconsciously looked at the rearview mirror.
I saw the cars that were originally parked on the road sliding down one after another, raising a large cloud of dust. I could vaguely see some mutants struggling to get out of them. Some crawled back to the highway, while others heard the sound of the cars here and chased over directly.
One of the long-legged mutants was incredibly fast and reached behind the car in the blink of an eye.
Ye Mian glanced at the other mutants that were far behind, and said without thinking: "Turn around and hit it!"
"!!!" This is making things difficult for Fat Tiger.
Xue Kai gritted his teeth and turned the steering wheel to the maximum, drifting the car in the barren land, then closed his eyes and slammed into the long-legged mutant.
"Bang—Bang—"
Hearing two loud noises in succession, Xue Kai just opened his eyes blankly and looked at the front hood that was dented, and then he heard Ye Mian calmly issue the next instruction.
"parking."
He quickly released his foot on the accelerator and stepped on the brake, barely coming to a stop with a harsh friction sound.
Then he heard the sound of doors opening and closing, followed by a few bangs and the sound of punches hitting flesh. When Xue Kai looked out the window in doubt, he found that not only the long-legged mutant had fallen completely, but the several others that followed behind also fell crookedly in the weeds, completely motionless.
He first turned his head to look at the empty passenger seat and back seat, then looked at Ye Mian and Lu Ning who were already checking the mutant corpses outside, his mouth slightly opened.
It seems like they haven't discussed what to do?
It’s only the first day we met and we have such a tacit understanding?
As for the two people outside, it was not so much a tacit understanding as it was that the moment they saw the mutants chasing them, they both had an idea - to kill them.
After all, being chased all the time is too passive, and if you chase too long it may attract the attention of other mutants, which will only cause more trouble. It is better to end the battle quickly.
Moreover, the combined strength of these mutants is not as good as the one-handed one in the supermarket, so there is no need to discuss any special tactics.
“They are all low-level mutants…” Ye Mian glanced at the five rhenium stones he had just picked up, then closed the warehouse interface and stood up.
Lu Ning walked over and said, "No one is catching up with us."
After she finished speaking, she paused and looked at the highway in the distance that was blocked by trees: "Didn't you encounter these large troops when you entered the city?"
"No," Ye Mian shook his head, "They should have been deliberately brought together."
I just don't know if it's actively chasing something, or being lured into a trap.
"Is everything done?"
Ye Mian turned his head and looked at Xue Kai, whose face was pale and who seemed to have just realized and wanted to vomit.
"Um, are you okay?"
"No..." Xue Kai waved his hand, but his other hand involuntarily supported the car body to hide his trembling legs.
Seeing this, Lu Ning said, "I'll drive the back."
Although Xue Kai was not feeling well, he had no problem sitting in the passenger seat and occasionally giving directions. After driving through the wasteland for more than an hour, they successfully arrived at their destination.
All the land in the farm had to be reclaimed for planting, so Xue Kai asked Lu Ning to park the car outside. Then he quickly got out of the car and walked into the farm. Breathing the air which was much fresher and more comfortable than outside, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and recovered.
After getting out of the car, Ye Mian did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he first looked at the nearly scrapped car, thinking about the possibility of completely dismantling it and restoring it.
Then he noticed Lu Ning who was also standing still.
Ye Mian followed her gaze and looked into the farm. Although the cornfield had been completely deserted and the other vegetable fields were not in a hurry to plant new crops after the harvest, the wheat planted by Xue Kai yesterday had just entered the maturity period. The golden wheat fields swayed in the wind, and under the sunshine, they were beautiful and full of the joy of harvest.
In the past, this would have been just an ordinary sight, but at a time like this, it could be considered a miracle.
"It seems there is no way to rest."
Seeing Xue Kai just caught his breath and went into the wheat field to check, Ye Mian raised his hand to gather his scattered long hair and casually rolled it behind his head, then walked into the farm.
Lu Ning finally came back to his senses and realized that Xue Kai's words "enough food" were not an exaggeration. He followed behind with mixed feelings, but after taking a few steps, he seemed to be stopped by an invisible wall.
"Well……"
"?" Ye Mian turned around and saw Lu Ning trying to go in again, but couldn't move forward even half a step. He suddenly remembered something and said, "Come in."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Ning finally succeeded in stepping into the farm and felt the air and breeze which were completely different from those outside.
It seems that outsiders need her permission before entering the farm.
Ye Mian thought about it, opened the silent system interface again, and then asked again: "Are you willing to stay here?"
Just now in the supermarket, when Lu Ning heard Ye Mian ask whether he wanted to go with her, he thought that he would need to help deal with the mutants, but now it seems that is obviously not the case.
"Is there anything I can do?"
"Of course," Ye Mian said without hesitation, "and it's something only you can do."
Hearing her affirmative answer, Lu Ning's heart moved slightly, as if something broken was re-condensing.
"good."
[Employee 2: Lu Ning (Evolver), Initial Skill: Absolute Strength, Specialty: Boxing, Loyalty: 92] (Details can be viewed at [Farm] - [Employee])
Hmm? Is the loyalty so high right from the start?
Ye Mian raised his eyebrows and subconsciously jumped to the employee interface, and then found that after a few days of getting along, Xue Kai's loyalty had risen from the initial 78 to 89.
This means that we don’t have to worry about anything anymore and can happily grow crops and vegetables together on the farm.
Closing the interface, Ye Mian smiled at Lu Ning: "Follow me."
The two of them walked through the vegetable garden and around the house to the kitchen on one side. The body of the big gray rabbit from yesterday still remained in its just-dead state, but the bloody smell had long since dissipated.
"I'll leave this to you."
"Woof~"
Dahei, who had just been guarding the house obediently, came over when he saw Ye Mian. He wagged his tail to show his affection and sniffed towards Lu Ning from time to time, as if he was getting familiar with her scent.
Ye Mian patted its head and introduced it to Lu Ning, who was silent for a moment: "Its name is Dahei, and it is also a member of the farm. Don't be afraid of it."
"..." Lu Ning looked at the gray rabbit corpse on the ground, then looked at the big black one with three heads, and was confused for a moment, "Can the meat of mutant beasts be eaten?"
"Yes, some low-level, non-toxic ones can be eaten. If you want to gain weight, you should eat more meat, right?"
Although it is true.
But Lu Ning still didn't expect that he could eat the meat of mutant beasts.
After taking some time to accept this fact, she finally understood what Ye Mian meant: "What I want to do is to separate its fur from its meat, and then process it into ingredients for cooking?"
"Yes!"
Xue Kai, who had seen the wheat field, also came over and said, "You are very strong, so it should be easy for you to handle it. As for what to do next, don't worry about it, just leave it to me."
After that, he enthusiastically told Lu Ning where the utility room with many tools was, and that the water in the kitchen could be used and drunk, and that if he wanted to rest, he could find an empty room on the second floor.
If you are hungry, just be patient for now. After all, you will have a rabbit meat dinner in the evening.
Lu Ning listened silently, and the confusion in her mind gradually became clear. Here, she didn't have to worry about mutants appearing at any time, and she could eat and sleep well. The only thing she had to worry about was whether she could deal with this huge mutant beast before dark.
Seeing that she understood but just needed some time to digest it, Ye Mian said considerately: "Take your time, don't rush."
Then he called Xue Kai and said, "Let's go harvest the wheat."
"Okay. By the way, the peach and olive trees have sprouted. I think they will bear fruit in a day or two."
"Yeah?"
"Hey, now we have a water pipe. I will soak the rice seeds tonight and we should be able to plant them tomorrow."
"good."
Listening to the conversation between the two gradually fading away, a complex emotion flashed across Lu Ning's eyes, and then he lowered his eyes and smiled.
I really don’t know which is more magical, the collapsing world outside or the world here.
But since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it.
Lu Ning walked into the house, found suitable tools in the utility room and kitchen, and officially started to attack the gray rabbit.
On the other side, because they were harvesting wheat with sickles, Dahei also joined the working team.
Therefore, Ye Mian only needed to bundle the harvested wheat and move it to the warehouse.
Thanks to the 10 points of spiritual essence, the work of harvesting had barely begun when text boxes popped up one after another.

Stage rewards?
Does this mean that you can get an extra reward after completing each wave of main tasks?
This surprised Ye Mian a little.
Before checking the rewards, Ye Mian first opened the farm information to confirm the current points - 425, and immediately felt wealthy.
“It’s not easy.”
After sighing, Ye Mian went back to the warehouse and looked at the mysterious seed he had just obtained.
