The loud voice was like an arrow piercing through the clouds, and under its command, the bewildered faces suddenly seemed to have found the backbone, and they were filled with righteous indignation one after another.

"That's right! How can that work! ”

"Who's going to give us a shift?!"

"That's it!"

In addition to the excited red face and thick neck, there are also a handful of snot and tears, and the old man on crutches trembled and walked to the front of quitting smoking, and said pleadingly.

"Your Excellency...... You're not from here, you don't understand, without the farmer, we'll starve to death. ”

I was also confused about quitting smoking.

"Ah......h Does the farmer still teach you how to farm? ”

He'd met the farmer.

Standing on the stairs like a fool and pretending to be X, he was at the mercy of that Luo Gan like a marionette.

How did he think, that guy didn't look like a person with that ability!

Several old men looked at each other and whispered to him.

"You don't need to be taught."

"But my lord, we will only farm ......"

"The master will take a little ...... But the harvest is not much, and the rest is enough for our family to eat, and it can still be worth working for him, and if it goes to the wasteland, it will be called over. You don't know how those mutants call us, they call us two-legged animals! ”

"yes, it's wasteland out there...... If you don't have a master to take care of us, will you take care of us? ”

As soon as the old man's words fell, the servant next to him, probably from the manor, shouted urgently.

"We don't have to worry about you! Miss is still alive...... She's the new owner of the farm! ”

Realizing his gaffe, the old man quickly changed his words and shouted loyally.

"That's right! Handful...... Miss give it back to us! ”

Shouts rang out at the door.

The farmer's private soldier stood in the distance and watched silently, neither standing with them nor coming to help the Alliance.

This is a requirement from their superiors.

Regardless of whether last night's nightmare was the work of the Torch Church or not, those who have experienced it once do not want to experience the feeling of being led by the neck again.

That kind of strong power is not reasonable at all.

When you sink into that indescribable dream, it is as if some kind of melody floats in your head, and then your body no longer belongs to you.

Don't talk about cannibalism.

I'm afraid that even if the alliance asks them to eat, they will only lie on the ground and swallow happily until they wake up and retch in disgust.

After all, isn't that telepathic interference device in the hands of those guys right now?

Conspiracy theories think that maybe I have actually been brainwashed, but because the brainwashing is not over, I don't know.

That's exactly what some officers think.

It was precisely because of this that they did not dare to stand up for the position of the farmer, let alone ask the young lady in the manor what was going on.

They do whatever the alliance tells them to do, whether it's moving corpses out or maintaining order, but they never do anything superfluous.

Looking at the crowd of excited people, the ex-smokers were stupid, and they couldn't say a word for a long time with their mouths open.

He wanted to help them.

There is no particular reason.

He doesn't look at things from the manager's point of view, he just looks pitiful to them, and he happens to be well-fed and clothed, and a piece of equipment is more expensive than the rags on their bodies combined.

In other words, do you need a reason for a level 30 boss to go to the novice village to pretend to be forced? The realization of self-worth is itself a need.

But he really didn't know how to help.

That Zhao Tiangan is dead.

The survivors here can discuss the next path together, regardless of which path they end up taking, and take responsibility for their own choices as adults.

However, they prefer to put all the blame on an eight-year-old child who is even angry with his best friend.

If it were in reality, she hadn't even finished elementary school at her age.

Is it that as long as someone is in charge, everything will automatically get better?

Is it possible that if you give your responsibilities and power to an imaginary god who can do anything, the pie will fall from the sky on its own?

What kind of idealism is this......

"No, this is your settlement......"

Quit smoking and laugh and laugh.

"You never thought about it...... Do you take care of it yourself? ”

The spit was drowned out in the cacophony of mountains and tsunamis.

Standing in front of the door, he didn't notice that a pair of eyes mixed in the crowd were watching all this coldly.

The man seemed to have expected it, with a slight sneer on his face.

It's like watching a clown who teaches goats how to sing, and that smile is full of ridicule......

……

The annex of the Pinecone Farm.

The players who had found an empty room to sit were having a combat meeting, chattering and exchanging information that had just been brought from the official website.

There is only one hint that managers can give them -

The presence of a large number of "pathogens" in the Pinecone Farm is a danger to the Torch Church's plans.

In particular, they may have known through the eyes of the farmstead that the Coalition is working on an antidote and a vaccine.

In order to thwart the Alliance's plans, and to recover the experimental data that was not taken from last night, it is highly likely that the Torch Church is planning the next round of offensive against this settlement!

As for the information about a series of settings such as Sanctuary, Precursor, Apostle, Executioner, etc., everyone knows about it in the settings updated on the official website.

According to Fang Chang's speculation, it should be that the executioners and apostles they captured last night were sent to the Iron Heart for interrogation.

However, Fang Chang didn't expect that he would really let him be right.

That sanctuary is really a program running in a virtual space.

And that's not all.

This thing is even more awesome than the average virtual space, and it is a distributed computing network formed by the interconnection of countless brains implanted with biomimetic chips!

Ye Shi touched his chin and thought for a while, and was suddenly shocked.

"it...... I get it. ”

Tempest glanced at him.

"What do you know again?"

"Simply put, this thing is like Voldemort's Horcruxes! You can store part of your consciousness in someone else's brain! ”

Hearing this analogy, Luo Yu almost didn't choke on the spittle.

"Poof...... You're big enough. ”

"But I understand that," Lao Bai said, touching his chin, "In other words, there may be hundreds of Horcruxes hidden in the settlement now...... it? ”

Finally realizing the seriousness of the problem, his face changed slightly.

Boy.

This is the full picture!

Fang Chang also looked solemn and nodded slowly.

"Theoretically, any NPC here could be Luo Gan's eyes...... But thankfully, only by entering the fugue state can that Luo Gan personally interfere with the behavior of those chess pieces, otherwise the impact on them will be the degree to which they can communicate in their minds, or make their eyelids move. ”

There was silence.

Even so, this hanging is against the sky enough.

“…… The problem now is that I don't know where the monster will come from, and if there is another tunnel hidden in this settlement, we will probably have to fight the mutants here. ”

Just when Fang Changzheng was feeling in trouble, the voice of the old brother who quit smoking suddenly came from the open microphone of the communication channel.

"Have you discussed the results?"

Fang Chang subconsciously replied casually.

"It's still being discussed, not so fast...... What's wrong? ”

The voices on the other side of the communication channel were noisy, and some chaotic shouting could be faintly heard.

Quit smoking said with a big face.

"The survivors of the settlement blocked the door to the manor...... I feel like if we don't do something about it, we're going to have to clash with the survivors here. ”

Hearing this, Ye Shi was stunned for a moment.

"The door is blocked? What's the situation? ”

He was obviously not the only one who was confused, and everyone else also showed blank expressions.

Knowing that this matter could not be explained clearly in a few words, quitting smoking simply did not explain, and directly transmitted the video of the scene.

Looking at the crowd of excited people in the camera, the players were stunned.

“…… I'll go. ”

"Are these people crazy?"

Ye Shi said confusedly, scratching the back of his head.

"I don't understand...... What the hell are they trying to do? ”

The old man is gone......

Isn't that a good thing?

Fang Chang had a calm face, and seemed to have expected the situation in front of him. Seeing that Ye Eleven's face was confused, he said concisely.

"This is actually very easy to understand, think about it, if you are a serf and the landlord dies, what is your first thought?"

Night Ten said immediately.

"That must be a field!"

Not at all surprised by Ye Shi's answer, Fang Chang smiled and said.

"Of course you think so if you are a young person of the new era in the 21st century, but the people here are not, they don't feel that the land under their feet is their own. So for all sorts of reasons, they come up with a new farmer so they can continue to do their old job. ”

Ye Shi was stunned for a long time, and he didn't understand why the original farmer died, and he had to get a new farmer out.

Wouldn't there be no crops in the fields without the farmer?

“…… It's ridiculous. ”

Looking at Ye Shi with a blank face, Fang Chang said with a smile.

"There is no such thing as absurdity or absurdity, if you think about it from another angle, a hundred and fifty years ago, when Singularity City was still fine, would you be willing to go out and open up wasteland?"

I didn't know why Fang Chang asked that, but Ye Shi still tried to listen to him, and thought about it in the context of the game.

Go to the wasteland to clear the wasteland......

If he didn't have a second life, he probably wouldn't dare.

However, Fang Chang didn't wait for him to come up with the final answer, almost a second before he opened his mouth, he opened his mouth to continue.

"Most of the residents of Singularity City are alive and well under the care of the War Construction Committee, but after all, it was the last few years of the War Construction Committee's life, and the supply of materials could not always be so abundant. So the authorities promised to cut the rations of ordinary residents and give some help to the pioneers. ”

"You are a young man with ideals, and you think that it is better to go out and try your luck than starve to death, so you risk your life to go out into the wilderness of the wasteland, dig the first well with a hoe and shovel in the ground that is as hard as steel, dig the first field, build the first house, and exchange the surplus grain for seeds, fertilizer, and cattle and sheep and animals in the following year......"

"So far, things have been going well, and a group of wandering wastelanders have wandered to your doorstep, begging you to take them in."

"Whether you have taken a fancy to their labor, or out of sympathy, you generously nod your head and agree that they will live not far from you, and you will not be able to plough the fertile land anyway, and it will be safer if there are more people. You know very well that the environment in the wasteland is getting worse by the day, and no matter how good you are, you are only one person, with only two hands, and you can't use three guns. ”

"Then the crisis broke out in Singularity City, mutants replaced the old humans and became the new masters, and more refugees poured into you. Although you really want to help them, you can't give away the food you have worked so hard to hoard, so you think of a compromise - you lend them food, seeds, and production tools, and in exchange, they need to pay back the next year's grain or the land that has been cultivated, so that both of you get benefits. ”

Yajuchi scratched his head.

"What's wrong with that?"

Looking at the incomprehensible Night Ten, Fang Chang smiled and said.

"There's nothing wrong with that, the plantation economy was actually relatively progressive in the early days of the wasteland era, and it encouraged the expansion of large settlements to a certain extent, while most settlements in the War Construction Committee era were reluctant to make trouble for themselves because they had the all-powerful 'black box' of the production department."

"Some small plantations, although technically immature, have taken in a large number of surplus survivors that the settlement can no longer accommodate, and to some extent inhibited the emergence of marauders."

"If it weren't for those plantations, after the crisis in Singularity City broke out, this would probably become a kingdom of marauders, and it wasn't just mutants who could eat people, and the situation would only be worse than it is now."

When he said this, Fang Chang suddenly changed his words.

"But the problem is that a century and a half later, the locals are still running a society that has de facto developed into settlements by running farms."

"The farmer is very careful to manage what little power he has, and he expects to do with the wisdom of mortals what the gods cannot do, and to arrange everything in every detail, as his ancestors did. Eighty percent of his biggest dream in this life is 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 nobleman could think of, at least it had to be like Rock City with a group of nobles who could not be fed. ”

Night Ten puzzled.

"But there are a lot of officers here...... For example, Luo Feihui, who wanted to borrow our power to take the throne before, can't he be considered a nobleman? ”

Fang Chang shook his head.

"He, like the Yang River who had escaped from this farm, had only borrowed part of the power of the farmer's fiefdom, and was essentially just a powerful servant."

After a pause, he continued.

"But it's not just the farmer who is doing it, you can see that the local survivors are careful not to take on the slightest bit of responsibility."

"They have the idea that more is better than less, and they accept whatever happens, and they want to stick their heads in the dirt so that the tall man can carry them, and they want to pout their butts to the sky, so that they can grab a bench in time when the day comes."

"Mutants always put their two-legged animals in their mouths, and they want to eat people with their teeth and claws, and the church doesn't treat them as human beings, and tens of thousands of people say that they will be killed, maybe you kid also looks down on them in your heart, but only sympathizes with their plight from the standpoint of modern people...... But where are the churches and mutants who don't think of them as human the most? Isn't that their own? ”

"Didn't you notice? It's actually the result of running in both directions, no one puts a rope around their necks at all, because they don't need it at all, and the situation here is completely different from Boulder City. So don't expect to make them remember that they are human in a few words, this 4WD doesn't even have a gas pedal, teach them to read first, and then give them a copy of "How Boulder City is Made" to read, at least two slogans can be shouted. ”

Luo Yu interjected.

"Isn't it called Pol the Awoke?"

Fang Chang coughed.

"I forgot ......"

It's embarrassing.

He was still the editor of the book.

Looking at Fang Chang blankly, Ye Shi's Adam's apple moved, and he swallowed back when he wanted to say something.

He thought of the lamb.

At the last moment, the little girl didn't think about living by herself, and was even willing to be eaten by the young lady.

And she didn't even think about whether her self-sacrifice was really good for that Yinyin.

Cannibalism......

Even if you don't go crazy, it will have to be a psychological shadow for a lifetime.

Even the guy who dared to stuff anything in her mouth and shouted that it didn't matter in the game anyway, didn't dare to try what it tasted like.

Not to mention the meat of a good friend......

In the end, she never thought of herself as a human being, even if she was smart and not 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 are crazy because of Nago.

They're not normal at all.

The absurdity, however, is that this farmhouse is a relatively normal settlement in this wasteland, far more terrifying than here.

“…… No wonder the Enlightenment will perish. ”

Looking at Ye Shi, who was muttering there, Lao Bai patted him on the shoulder.

"Okay, don't listen to Fang Chang's nonsense, this guy was thrown into the era of prosperity, Bacheng was a shareholder of the Enlightenment Society, you can't be taken into the ditch if you listen to his nonsense."

Fang Chang retorted dissatisfiedly.

"You're slandering me, I'll never do anything extreme."

"That's not good, you guys with good brains, the ghost knows what you're thinking every day," Lao Bai smiled and patted Ye Shi's shoulder, "You go talk to that Yin Yin and let her cooperate with us." ”

"Huh?" Ye Shi was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "What can she do with a little kid?" ”

Falling Feather squeezed his eyebrows at him viciously.

"You won't teach her, don't you like young people?"

As soon as he heard this, Ye Shi suddenly jumped up like a rabbit with its tail stepped on, and glared at Luo Yu, who was smiling evilly.

"Fuck off! I, what the hell am I...... Likes to be a little older than me. ”

Tempest touched his chin.

"Got it, no wonder ......"

Ye Shi's face turned red in a hurry.

"You don't have a hammer!"

The room was filled with an air of joy, diluting the solemnity of that moment ago.

Fang Chang, who was sitting on the side, coughed, looked at Ye Shi, who was anxious to argue, and said.

"Seriously, I think what Lao Bai said makes sense, if we don't help that little girl, she will probably be driven by the people here to be the farmer."

In fact, that's what those officers thought.

Except for Luo Feihui, who is already dead, others are more inclined to support the little girl to be the owner of this place than to be the owner of the farmer themselves.

In this way, they indirectly control the farmstead without worrying about messing everything up and getting into trouble, let alone fighting to the death for a thankless position.

After all, the situation is still unclear, the war between the Torch Church and the Alliance has just begun, and anything can happen.

Yashi muttered.

"You have some leisure, inheriting such a large amount of family property, maybe the children are secretly happy."

Fang Chang glanced at him.

"And then messed everything up, and was slaughtered by those people as scapegoats?"

Ye Shi couldn't help but say.

"So what do you expect a child to do? And didn't you say it yourself, those people are hopeless. ”

Fang Chang shook his head.

"I never said that they were not saved, it was the torch that thought they were not saved, I just wanted to express that 'awakening' is not something that fell from the sky, it is not the responsibility of one person, but everyone has an unshirkable responsibility."

"It's the same with that child, of course she can accept the power and responsibility of the slaves with peace of mind, and the price is to become a puppet of the servants, after all, the farmer is not so easy to be, and she doesn't have the means of her own father, does she?"

"Of course, she has another option now, which is to give them back the power and responsibility that her father took away from everyone in this settlement, and exchange her active withdrawal for a decent end, so that she can still keep some property."

Lao Bai frowned and hesitated.

"Isn't that too heavy for her? Alyssa is almost an adult...... And she's only eight years old. ”

Fang Chang shrugged.

"It's already the easiest way to go, she just needs to nod her head and talk to us about some scenes, and she can get a decent ending. And if she refuses our help, the heaviest part of what she will face next. ”

Yashi looked at him puzzled.

"What do you mean?"

"This is a holy war against the Torch faith, so naturally the battlefield will not be limited to what is visible to the naked eye...... It also occurred to me just now that the Sanctuary is not as invulnerable as we thought, it can hide in anyone's head, but it can't hide in everyone's head, and these people are the majority of the land. What would you do if you were a manager? ”

Fang Chang didn't answer his doubts directly, but asked him such a sentence.

Ye Shi pondered for a long time, and just wanted to say that he didn't know, but suddenly his heart moved, and he thought of that Naguo, and almost subconsciously blurted out his debut.

"Just let the torch lose the soil to survive......"

Nago doesn't kill anyone.

But it will make the soil no longer suitable for old humans.

This is the foundation of all the plans of the Torch Church, just as the "neutron extermination" is to the Enlightenment.

In the same way, the Torch Church and their plans are here precisely because there is soil where dirt can survive and multiply.

Then just make it no longer suitable for them to live.

The Alliance allows the survivors around them to decide their own fate, but only if they fool others around on their own turf.

But now this is clearly not a problem for the locals themselves.

The Alliance's Iron Heart has arrived here, which is the most direct proof of this.

Looking at the clever Night Ten, Fang Chang nodded approvingly.

"That's right, as long as the majority of the land is united, the torch and its nago will lose the soil for survival. In order to achieve this, the managers will almost certainly re-establish the order in the area by distributing the land that originally belonged to the farmers to the serfs. ”

"Since last night's disaster, all settlements in this land have had to face a multiple-choice question—"

"It's the church, it's the Union."

This war has already begun.
