The loud voice was like an arrow piercing the cloud. Under its command, the helpless and dull faces suddenly seemed to have found their backbone, and they were filled with righteous indignation one after another.
That's right!How can that work!
Who will schedule us?!
that is!
In addition to being excited, with red face and thick neck, there were also snot and tears. The old man with a cane walked up to the quit smoking tremblingly and begged.
Sir... You are not the one here and don't understand. Without the farmer, we will starve to death.
I was also confused when I quit smoking.
Ah...will that farmer still teach you how to farm?
He had met the farmer.
Standing on the stairs like a fool, he was merciless and was treated like a puppet by Luo Gan.
No matter how he thought about it, that guy didn't look like someone with that ability!
Several old men looked at each other and whispered to him.
That kind of rough work is not taught.
But sir, we only know how to farm...
The master will collect a little... but he doesn't collect much. The rest is enough for our family to eat, and he can still pay for his work. If he goes to the wasteland, it will be over.You don't know how those mutants called us, they called us two feet of animals Ah!
It’s Ah, there’s wasteland outside... If there’s no master to care about us, will you care about us?
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the servant in the manor next to him shouted anxiously.
We don't have to worry about it!The lady is still alive... She is the new owner of the farm!
Realizing his mistake, the old man quickly changed his words and shouted loyally.
That's right!Return the... Miss to us!
Shouts came one after another at the door.
The farmer's private soldiers stood in the distance and watched silently, neither standing with them nor the people who came to help the alliance.
This is the request of their superiors.
No matter whether the nightmare last night was written by the Torch Church, those who have experienced it once did not want to experience the feeling of being led by the neck.
That kind of powerful one is unreasonable.
When it sinks into that indescribable dream, it seems that a certain melody floats in my head, and then my body no longer belongs to me.
Don't talk about eating people.
I'm afraid even if the alliance asks them to eat shit, they can only lie on the ground and swallow it happily, and they will not retching nauseously after waking up.
After all, isn’t that mental interference device in the hands of those guys at this moment?
The conspiracy theory thought that maybe I had actually been brainwashed, but because the brainwashing was not over yet, I just didn't know.
Some officers do think so.
It is precisely because of this that they dared not stand up and compete for the position of this farmer, and they did not dare to ask the lady in the manor how she was.
The alliance will do whatever the alliance asks them to do, whether it is moving the body out or maintaining order, but it will never do redundant things.
Looking at the excited crowd, the people who quit smoking were stunned and could not say a word with their mouths open for a long time.
He wanted to help them.
There is no special reason.
He doesn't look at problems from the perspective of managers, he just looks pretty good, and he just happens to have no worries about food and clothing. A piece of equipment is more expensive than the rag on them.
To put it another way, does level 30 bosses need a reason to go to the novice village to show off?The realization of self-worth is also a need.
However, he really didn't know how to help.
That Zhao Tiangan is dead.
The survivors here can clearly discuss how to go next, no matter which path they will take in the end, just be responsible for their choices like an adult.
However, they were not. They would rather put all the blame on a child who was eight years old and was even having anger and quarrel with his good friends.
If it were in reality, she wouldn't even finish elementary school at this age.
Will everything be automatically better as long as someone is responsible?
Does it mean that as long as you dedicate your responsibility and power to the imaginary omnipotent God, the pie will fall from the sky by itself?
What kind of idealism is this...
No, this is your settlement...
Said quitting smoking and laughing.
You never thought about... taking care of yourself?
The complaint was drowned in the noise of the thunder and thunder.
Standing in front of the door, he didn't notice that his eyes mixed in the crowd were watching all this coldly.
The man seemed to have expected it, with a faint sneer on his face.
It's like watching a clown who teaches goats to learn to sing, and his smile is full of ridicule...
……
Other restaurants of Pinecone Farm.
The players who found an empty room were holding a combat meeting, talking about the information they had just moved from the official website.
The manager only has one prompt
The large number of pathogens present in Pinecone Farm is a hidden danger to the Torch Church's plan.
In particular, they are likely to have learned through the eyeliner in the farm that the alliance is developing antidotes and vaccines.
In order to block the alliance's plans and recover experimental data that was not taken away last night, the Torch Church is most likely planning the next round of offensive against the settlement!
As for information about a series of settings such as the Holy Land, the Apostles, the Executioners, etc., everyone learned about them in the settings updated on the official website.
According to Fang Chang's speculation, it should be that the executioner and apostle they caught last night were sent to the Iron Heart for interrogation and found a result.
However, Fang Chang didn't expect that he would be fooled correctly.
That holy domain is really a program running in the virtual space.
And more than that.
This thing is more awesome than ordinary virtual spaces. It is a distributed computing network formed by connecting countless brains implanted with bionic chips!
Ye Shi touched his chin and thought for a while, and was suddenly shocked.
Damn…I understand.
Qianfeng glanced at him.
What do you know again?
Simply put, this thing is like Voldemort's Horcrux!Can store some consciousness in other people's minds!
After hearing this metaphor, Luo Yu almost choked by spit.
Puff...You have a big brain.
But I understand this. Lao Bai touched his chin and said, in other words, there may be hundreds of Horcruxes hidden in the settlement now... Damn?
Finally realizing the seriousness of the problem, his face changed slightly.
Good guy.
This is the full picture Ah!
Fang Chang also looked solemn and nodded slowly.
In theory, any NPC here may become Luo Gan's eyes... But thankfully, only when entering the psychic state can Luo Gan personally interfere with the behavior of those chess pieces, otherwise the impact on them will be to communicate in the mind or to make the eyelids move.
Everyone was silent.
Even so, this cheat is amazing enough.
...The problem now is that I don’t know where the monster will be found. If there is another tunnel hidden in this settlement, I’m afraid we will have to fight street fights with mutants here.
Just when Fang Chang was feeling troubled, the voice of the old man quitting smoking suddenly came from the public microphone on the communication channel.
Have you found the result of the discussion?
Fang Chang subconsciously replied casually.
Still discussing, not that fast...what happened?
The sound on the communication channel was very noisy, and some messy shouts could be heard vaguely.
He said with a big head-on face.
The survivors of this settlement blocked the door of the manor... I feel that if we don't do anything, we will probably have to conflict with the survivors here first.
Hearing this sentence, Ye Shi was stunned.
The door is blocked?What's going on?
It was obvious that he was not the only one who was confused, but everyone else also showed confused expressions.
Knowing that this matter cannot be explained clearly in just a few words, I quit smoking without explaining it and directly sent the video on the scene.
Looking at the excited crowd in the camera, the players were stunned.
...I'll go.
Are these people crazy?
Ye Shi said in confusion, scratching the back of his head.
I don't understand...what they want to do.
The master is gone...
Isn't it a good thing?
Fang Chang looked calm and seemed to have expected the situation in front of him.Seeing that Ye Shiyi was confused, he said concisely.
This is actually easy to understand. Think about it, if you are a serf and the landlord dies, what is your first thought?
Ye Shi said immediately.
That must be the Ah of Doda!
No surprise at all, Fang Chang said with a smile.
Of course you are a young man in the new era of the 21st century, but the people here are not. They don’t think the land under their feet is theirs.So for all kinds of reasons, they will find ways to get a new farmer out so that they can continue to do their previous work.
Ye Shi was stunned for a long time, but he couldn't figure out why the original farmer died and he had to get a new farmer out.
Can't crops grow in the fields without a farmer?
...This is too ridiculous.
Looking at Ye Shi with a confused look on his face, Fang Chang said with a smile.
There is nothing ridiculous or ridiculous. Think about it from another perspective. When Singularity City was still in good condition a hundred and fifty years ago, would you be willing to go out to open up the land?
I didn't understand why Fang Chang asked this, but Ye Shi tried to listen to him and thought about it in the background of the game.
Go to wasteland to clear the land...
If he had no second life, he would most likely not dare.
However, Fang Chang did not wait for him to find the final answer, and he continued to speak almost a second before he opened his mouth.
Most residents of Singularity City live well under the care of the War Construction Committee, but that was the last few years of the War Construction Committee's lifespan, and the supply of materials could not always be so abundant.So the authorities promised to reduce the rations of ordinary residents and provide certain help to pioneers who go out.
You are a young man with ideals. You think you should go out and try your luck instead of starving to death. So you risked your life to go to the wasteland, digging the first well on the frozen land with a hoe and a shovel, begging out the first field, building the first house, and then exchanged surplus grain for seeds, fertilizers, cattle, sheep and animals...
The days went smoothly until this time, and a group of wandering wastelanders wandered to your doorstep, begging you for your intake.
Whether you like their labor force or out of sympathy, you nod your head generously and agree that they will live in a place not far from you. Anyway, you will never be able to cultivate those fertile lands to death, and it is safer to have more people.You know very well that the environment in the wasteland is getting worse day by day, and no matter how powerful you are, you are only one person, with only two hands and cannot use three guns.
Later, a crisis broke out in Singularity City, and the mutants replaced the old humans and became the new masters, and more refugees flocked to you.Although you really want to help them, you can't give the stored food you have worked hard to give it to others. So you thought of a compromise method. You lend them food, seeds, and production tools. In exchange, they need to pay back the food for the next year or the land they have cultivated, so that both of you will get benefits.
Ye Shi scratched his head.
Is there any problem with this?
Looking at Ye Shi who was puzzled, Fang Chang smiled and said.
There is no problem with this. The plantation economy was actually relatively progressive in the early stages of the Wasteland Era. It encouraged large settlements to expand to a certain extent. During the War Construction Committee, most settlements were unwilling to cause trouble for themselves because they had the universal "black box" of the production department.
Although some small plantations are technically immature, they have taken in a large number of survivors that the settlements can no longer accommodate, and to a certain extent inhibited the emergence of predators.
Without those plantations, after the crisis in Singularity City broke out, it would probably become a kingdom of predators, and it would not be just mutants who cannibalize people, but the situation would only be worse than it is now.
When he said this, Fang Chang suddenly changed his mind.
But the problem is that a century and a half have passed, and locals are still using the method of running a farm to run this society that has actually developed into settlements.
The farmer carefully managed the little power in his hands, hoping to use the wisdom of a mortal to do things that God could not do, and like his ancestors, he arranged everything carefully.His biggest dream in his life was to occupy all the surrounding settlements.As for what industry to develop, it was not something he could think of, or it was not something that any noble could think of. At least it had to be raised like the Giant Rock City.
Ye Shi didn't understand.
But there are also many officers here... For example, Luo Feihui, who wanted to take advantage of our power, could he be considered a noble?
Fang Chang shook his head.
Like Yang He who had escaped from this farm, he just borrowed part of the power enfeoffed by the farmer, and was essentially just a powerful servant.
He paused, and he continued.
However, this is not just a farmer's own problem, you can find that local survivors are careful not to take any extra responsibility.
They held the idea that it was better to have less than more things. They obeyed whatever happened. They wanted to pierce their heads into the soil so that the tall man could hold them up, and they wanted to stick their butts into the sky, so that they could grab a bench in time when dawn.
Mutants always talk about animals with their feet, and they want to eat people with their teeth and claws. The church does not treat them as human beings. Tens of thousands of people say they can kill them. Maybe you boy look down on them from the bottom of their hearts, but just stand in the standpoint of modern people and sympathize with their experiences... But where are the churches and mutants the least?Isn't it them themselves?
Didn't you notice it?This is actually the result of two-way rushing. No one put the rope around their necks, because there is no need at all. The situation here is completely different from that of the Stone City.So don't expect a few words to remind them that they are human. This four-wheel drive car doesn't even have the accelerator. Let's teach them to read first, and then give them a book "How the Stone City is Made" and it's good to be able to shout a few slogans at least.
Luo Yu interrupted.
Isn't it called "Bol the Awakened"?
Fang Chang coughed.
I forgot...
It's so embarrassing.
His object is still the editor of the book.
Looking at Fang Chang blankly, Ye Shi's Adam's apple moved, and he swallowed something back.
He thought of the lamb.
At the last moment, the little girl was not thinking about living by herself, and she was even willing to be eaten by that lady.
And she never thought at all whether her self-sacrifice was really good for Yin Yin.
Eat people...
Even if you don’t go crazy, it will be a psychological shadow for the rest of your life.
Even the guy like Lao Na who dares to stuff everything into her mouth and yells that it doesn't matter in the game anyway, and she doesn't dare to try what it tastes like.
What's more, it's the meat of a good friend...
In the end, she never regarded herself as an extraordinary person from beginning to end, even though she was so smart that she didn't look like a child at all.
For a moment, Ye Shi suddenly felt that although the Torch Church's approach was a bit extreme, it was not completely unreasonable.
These people went crazy because of Nago.
They are abnormal at all.
However, the absurdity is that this farm is a relatively normal settlement on this wasteland, far more mad at the same time than here.
...No wonder enlightenment will destroy the world.
Looking at Ye Shi who was muttering there, Lao Bai patted his shoulder.
OK, don’t listen to Fang Chang’s nonsense. This guy was probably the shareholder of the Enlightenment Association when he was thrown into the prosperity era. If you listen to him, he would not be taken into the ditch.
Fang Chang retorted dissatisfiedly.
You are slandering me now, I will never do such extreme things no matter how hard it is.
That's not good. You guys with good brains know what you guys are thinking every day. Lao Bai smiled and patted Ye Shi's shoulder. Go and talk to Yin Yin and let her cooperate with us.
Ah?Ye Shi was stunned for a moment and blurted out. What can she do as a little kid?
Luo Yu squeezed his eyebrows at him in a bad way.
If you don’t teach her Ah, don’t you just like young people?
As soon as he heard this, Ye Shi jumped up like a rabbit with his tail stepped on, glaring at Luo Yu who was smiling.
Get out!Me, I'm fucking... I like to be a little older than me.
The strong wind touched his chin.
I understand, no wonder...
Ye Shi blushed in an anxious mood.
No wonder you are a Hammer Ah!
The room was filled with joy, diluting the solemnity that had been before that moment.
Fang Chang, who was sitting aside, coughed and said, looking at Ye Shi who was anxious to argue.
It's serious, I think what Lao Bai said makes sense. If we don't help that little girl, she would probably be driven to the shelves by the people here and be the farmer.
In fact, that's what those officers think.
Except for the dead Luo Feihui, others tend to support the little girl as the owner here than to be the farmer himself.
In this way, they indirectly control the farm without worrying about messing up everything and causing trouble, and they don’t need to fight to the death for a position that is not pleasing.
After all, the situation is still unclear, and the war between the Torch Church and the Alliance has just begun, and anything can happen.
Ye Shi muttered.
If you are idle and inherit such a large amount of property, maybe someone will be secretly happy.
Fang Chang glanced at him.
Then I messed up everything and was slaughtered by those gangs as scapegoats?
Ye Shi couldn't help but say.
Then what do you expect a child to do?And haven’t you said everything yourself, those people are no longer saved.
Fang Chang shook his head.
I never said they were helpless, thinking that what they had lost was the torch. I just wanted to express that "awakening" is not something that fell from the sky. It is not a person's responsibility, but everyone has an unshirkable responsibility.
The same is true for that child. Of course, she could accept the power and responsibility given by the slaves with peace of mind, and the price was to become the puppet of the servants. After all, the farmer was not so easy to be a farmer. She didn't have the means of her father, right?
Of course, she has another choice now, which is to return the power and responsibility her father deprived of from everyone in this settlement, and to exchange for a decent ending, so that she can still save some property.
Lao Bai frowned and hesitated.
Would this be a little too heavy for her?Alyssa is almost adult at least... and she is only eight years old.
Fang Chang shrugged.
This is the easiest way. She just needs to nod and cooperate with us to say some scenes to get a pretty decent ending.And if she refuses our help, the heaviest part she has to face next.
Ye Shi looked at him in confusion.
What's the meaning?
This is a jihad war against the torch faith, so the battlefield will naturally not be limited to a place that is visible to the naked eye... I just thought of it. The sanctuary is actually not as impeccable as we imagined. It can be hidden in anyone's head, but it cannot be hidden in everyone's head, and these people are the majority of this land.If you were a manager, what would you do?
Fang Chang did not directly answer his doubts, but asked him this question.
Ye Shi thought hard for a long time, and was about to say he didn't know, but suddenly he felt a sudden change in his heart. Thinking of the Nago, he almost blurted out subconsciously.
Just let the torch lose its soil for survival...
Nago won't kill anyone.
But it will make the soil no longer suitable for the survival of old humans.
This is the foundation of all the plans of the Torch Church, just like the killing of the Neutron to the Enlightenment.
Similarly, the reason why the Torch Church and their plans can be implemented here is precisely because there are soils where dirt can survive and reproduce.
Then just make this place no longer suitable for them to survive.
The alliance allows the surrounding survivors to decide their own destiny, but the premise is that they cannot mess around with others on their own territory.
But now this is obviously no longer a problem for the locals.
The Alliance's Iron Heart has already opened here, which is the most direct proof.
Looking at Ye Shi who became smart, Fang Chang nodded with approval.
That's right, as long as the majority of this land is united, the torch and its nago will lose its soil for survival.In order to achieve this, managers will almost certainly distribute the land that originally belonged to the farmers to the serfs and re-establish the order in this area.
After the disaster last night, all settlements on this land have to face a single choice question
Is it the church or the alliance.
This war has begun.
That's right!How can that work!
Who will schedule us?!
that is!
In addition to being excited, with red face and thick neck, there were also snot and tears. The old man with a cane walked up to the quit smoking tremblingly and begged.
Sir... You are not the one here and don't understand. Without the farmer, we will starve to death.
I was also confused when I quit smoking.

The farmer carefully managed the little power in his hands, hoping to use the wisdom of a mortal to do things that God could not do, and like his ancestors, he arranged everything carefully.His biggest dream in his life was to occupy all the surrounding settlements.As for what industry to develop, it was not something he could think of, or it was not something that any noble could think of. At least it had to be raised like the Giant Rock City.
Ye Shi didn't understand.
But there are also many officers here... For example, Luo Feihui, who wanted to take advantage of our power, could he be considered a noble?
Fang Chang shook his head.
Like Yang He who had escaped from this farm, he just borrowed part of the power enfeoffed by the farmer, and was essentially just a powerful servant.
He paused, and he continued.
However, this is not just a farmer's own problem, you can find that local survivors are careful not to take any extra responsibility.
They held the idea that it was better to have less than more things. They obeyed whatever happened. They wanted to pierce their heads into the soil so that the tall man could hold them up, and they wanted to stick their butts into the sky, so that they could grab a bench in time when dawn.
Mutants always talk about animals with their feet, and they want to eat people with their teeth and claws. The church does not treat them as human beings. Tens of thousands of people say they can kill them. Maybe you boy look down on them from the bottom of their hearts, but just stand in the standpoint of modern people and sympathize with their experiences... But where are the churches and mutants the least?Isn't it them themselves?
Didn't you notice it?This is actually the result of two-way rushing. No one put the rope around their necks, because there is no need at all. The situation here is completely different from that of the Stone City.So don't expect a few words to remind them that they are human. This four-wheel drive car doesn't even have the accelerator. Let's teach them to read first, and then give them a book "How the Stone City is Made" and it's good to be able to shout a few slogans at least.
Luo Yu interrupted.
Isn't it called "Bol the Awakened"?
Fang Chang coughed.
I forgot...
It's so embarrassing.
His object is still the editor of the book.
Looking at Fang Chang blankly, Ye Shi's Adam's apple moved, and he swallowed something back.
He thought of the lamb.
At the last moment, the little girl was not thinking about living by herself, and she was even willing to be eaten by that lady.
And she never thought at all whether her self-sacrifice was really good for Yin Yin.
Eat people...
Even if you don’t go crazy, it will be a psychological shadow for the rest of your life.
Even the guy like Lao Na who dares to stuff everything into her mouth and yells that it doesn't matter in the game anyway, and she doesn't dare to try what it tastes like.
What's more, it's the meat of a good friend...
In the end, she never regarded herself as an extraordinary person from beginning to end, even though she was so smart that she didn't look like a child at all.
For a moment, Ye Shi suddenly felt that although the Torch Church's approach was a bit extreme, it was not completely unreasonable.
These people went crazy because of Nago.
They are abnormal at all.
However, the absurdity is that this farm is a relatively normal settlement on this wasteland, far more mad at the same time than here.
...No wonder enlightenment will destroy the world.
Looking at Ye Shi who was muttering there, Lao Bai patted his shoulder.
OK, don’t listen to Fang Chang’s nonsense. This guy was probably the shareholder of the Enlightenment Association when he was thrown into the prosperity era. If you listen to him, he would not be taken into the ditch.
Fang Chang retorted dissatisfiedly.
You are slandering me now, I will never do such extreme things no matter how hard it is.
That's not good. You guys with good brains know what you guys are thinking every day. Lao Bai smiled and patted Ye Shi's shoulder. Go and talk to Yin Yin and let her cooperate with us.
Ah?Ye Shi was stunned for a moment and blurted out. What can she do as a little kid?
Luo Yu squeezed his eyebrows at him in a bad way.
If you don’t teach her Ah, don’t you just like young people?
As soon as he heard this, Ye Shi jumped up like a rabbit with his tail stepped on, glaring at Luo Yu who was smiling.
Get out!Me, I'm fucking... I like to be a little older than me.
The strong wind touched his chin.
I understand, no wonder...
Ye Shi blushed in an anxious mood.
No wonder you are a Hammer Ah!
The room was filled with joy, diluting the solemnity that had been before that moment.
Fang Chang, who was sitting aside, coughed and said, looking at Ye Shi who was anxious to argue.
It's serious, I think what Lao Bai said makes sense. If we don't help that little girl, she would probably be driven to the shelves by the people here and be the farmer.
In fact, that's what those officers think.
Except for the dead Luo Feihui, others tend to support the little girl as the owner here than to be the farmer himself.
In this way, they indirectly control the farm without worrying about messing up everything and causing trouble, and they don’t need to fight to the death for a position that is not pleasing.
After all, the situation is still unclear, and the war between the Torch Church and the Alliance has just begun, and anything can happen.
Ye Shi muttered.
If you are idle and inherit such a large amount of property, maybe someone will be secretly happy.
Fang Chang glanced at him.
Then I messed up everything and was slaughtered by those gangs as scapegoats?
Ye Shi couldn't help but say.
Then what do you expect a child to do?And haven’t you said everything yourself, those people are no longer saved.
Fang Chang shook his head.
I never said they were helpless, thinking that what they had lost was the torch. I just wanted to express that "awakening" is not something that fell from the sky. It is not a person's responsibility, but everyone has an unshirkable responsibility.
The same is true for that child. Of course, she could accept the power and responsibility given by the slaves with peace of mind, and the price was to become the puppet of the servants. After all, the farmer was not so easy to be a farmer. She didn't have the means of her father, right?
Of course, she has another choice now, which is to return the power and responsibility her father deprived of from everyone in this settlement, and to exchange for a decent ending, so that she can still save some property.
Lao Bai frowned and hesitated.
Would this be a little too heavy for her?Alyssa is almost adult at least... and she is only eight years old.
Fang Chang shrugged.
This is the easiest way. She just needs to nod and cooperate with us to say some scenes to get a pretty decent ending.And if she refuses our help, the heaviest part she has to face next.
Ye Shi looked at him in confusion.
What's the meaning?
This is a jihad war against the torch faith, so the battlefield will naturally not be limited to a place that is visible to the naked eye... I just thought of it. The sanctuary is actually not as impeccable as we imagined. It can be hidden in anyone's head, but it cannot be hidden in everyone's head, and these people are the majority of this land.If you were a manager, what would you do?
Fang Chang did not directly answer his doubts, but asked him this question.
Ye Shi thought hard for a long time, and was about to say he didn't know, but suddenly he felt a sudden change in his heart. Thinking of the Nago, he almost blurted out subconsciously.
Just let the torch lose its soil for survival...
Nago won't kill anyone.
But it will make the soil no longer suitable for the survival of old humans.
This is the foundation of all the plans of the Torch Church, just like the killing of the Neutron to the Enlightenment.
Similarly, the reason why the Torch Church and their plans can be implemented here is precisely because there are soils where dirt can survive and reproduce.
Then just make this place no longer suitable for them to survive.
The alliance allows the surrounding survivors to decide their own destiny, but the premise is that they cannot mess around with others on their own territory.
But now this is obviously no longer a problem for the locals.
The Alliance's Iron Heart has already opened here, which is the most direct proof.
Looking at Ye Shi who became smart, Fang Chang nodded with approval.
That's right, as long as the majority of this land is united, the torch and its nago will lose its soil for survival.In order to achieve this, managers will almost certainly distribute the land that originally belonged to the farmers to the serfs and re-establish the order in this area.
After the disaster last night, all settlements on this land have to face a single choice question
Is it the church or the alliance.
This war has begun.
