61.1 per cent for option I, 5.6 per cent for option II, 16.7 per cent for option III and 16.7 per cent for option IV.

……

[Option 1]

[Long Spitfire]: A huge flamethrower. Using gunpowder as fuel, it can spew enough flames to cover 1 block in an instant. Flexibility at its best.

……

Zheng Zhuo glided through the darkness. Behind, the flames were like serpents, lighting a line of fire in the dawn forest.

Rustling a few times. He walked out of the jungle and flew over the stone wall.

Below, the loofah flowers who were using their [sharp hook claws] to capture invasive plants looked up at him.

"All of them!"

He shouted.

The sound was dragged. In the blink of an eye, he slid towards the mayor's office.

There he jumped down, fell to the ground, and got up again.

Wooden sticks and hardshell fragments were thrown out of it and thrown into the hands of the loofah flower, who had just arrived at the door.

"Go to the [Mill] and grind!"

Sawdust, prismatic thorns.

Pig iron and steel were thrown to another loofah flower.

"Corrosion!"

He needs a lot of steel. Many, much more.

The last loofah flower......

Zheng Zhuo rushed out of it. He shoved the huge jar into the mouth of the loofah flower, and [corrosive liquid] flowed out of the mouth.

……

When.

The alchemy cauldron was dragged from the inside to the outside.

Zheng Zhuo held the "Alchemy Dictionary" in his hand and threw a large amount of alchemy materials into it.

Water, sticks, glue.

Hardshell fragments, vines, plant ash.

Rhizome mucilage, wheat flour, engine oil.

Sawdust and prismatic thorns? Very good.

Corroded pig iron and steel.

Corrosive liquids. Pour the whole jar into it.

And finally......

Zheng Zhuo threw off his backpack. He opened it.

[Gunpowder] flew all over the sky and was thrown into the crucible.

In the midst of the flying gunpowder powder, Zheng Zhuo saw the forest in the distance.

The whole forest was shaking.

The strange plants are chasing after them.

But Zheng Zhuo knew that now, it was not he who was forced to the base camp.

It's them.

……

Boom.

A cloud of white smoke that was bigger than any previous one rose, and a [Long Spitfire Gun] appeared in front of Zheng Zhuo.

It's huge. It's beyond imagination. The muzzle is at least a meter long, and the steel body glows in daylight.

Only the rearmost oil tank can be stuffed into the crucible. But that's too big.

Do you want me to carry it myself? It's a big test of physical strength -

No.

Zheng Zhuo looked at the stone wall in the distance that had stirred up smoke and dust. He was thinking of the grafted plants.

Basically, the design idea of the grafted plant was to have four loofah flowers lift three impatiens.

So.

Isn't it just a loofah flower carrying things?

So can we.

……

Boom!

The last impact. The already dilapidated stone walls collapsed completely.

Rampaging strange plants poured into the town like a tidal wave. Some of them still have sporadic flames hanging from them, while others have horrific wounds from the flames extinguished by the Corrosive Liquid.

They rushed into town.

Then, I saw a sight that made even plants that were almost irrational instilled fear.

Three loofah flowers stand together. The loofah flower at the head is carrying the [long flamethrower], and the loofah flower behind is holding the oil drum.

A person sits on the side of the loofah flower head in the side position.

The man was holding the handle of the long flamethrower firmly...... and control switches.

"Let's go!"

Knock knock knock!

The six legs move together, and the hard shell pounds the ground.

Compared to the sea of strange plants rushing towards the town, the sound was so insignificant.

But it's so shocking.

Knock knock knock.

Zheng Zhuo's team walked through the town. And the sea of strange plants also entered the fields.

When he came to the bottom of the small building covered with vines, Zheng Zhuo realized.

The time has come.

He pulled the trigger.

……

Fire.

More fire.

Far fiercer than the fires burning in the forest—far fiercer than the fires that had previously lit the fields.

Whoa.

All I could see was fire. Strange plants erupted in flames, and they screamed.

Even the scream was drowned out by the sound of burning flames.

"Forward!"

Zheng Zhuo gave the order. The firelight illuminated his face.

The edges of the leaves of the loofah flowers curl slightly due to the heat.

It can be seen that the snake vine is very hesitant.

But probably because it was surrounded by a sea of fire, and there was no way out, it finally manipulated the loofah flowers and stepped out.

The flames pushed forward, and the act of spitting fire pushed away the flames in front of them.

Nothing can be seen. Everywhere there were rising flames. Zheng Zhuo stepped into the forest, and the forest was ignited in an instant.

He heard the sound of liquid running. Aware that some plants are spewing corrosive liquids, rhizome slime, and other plant liquids around the flames to extinguish the flames.

The fire in that part has become smaller.

They're huge, and the liquid they spew out must be enough to extinguish the fire.

But that's okay too.

Zheng Zhuo's ultimate goal is not to set the forest on fire, but to reach the farm and subdue the caretakers.

"Forward, forward."

He kept giving this instruction.

There is nothing to see ahead.

But there are also previously erected sliding tracks.

The loofah flowers grab the sliding track. The track was hot from the fire. They had placed all the [Wide Leaves] that Zheng Zhuo had collected under their vines.

One by one, the leaves caught fire, burned, and turned into fly ash.

The three loofah flowers and the long flamethrower they were carrying and Zheng Zhuo spewed fire as they quickly approached the direction of the farm.

Mars was blown into the face of this strange combination by the wind. The petals of the loofah flower were burning, and Zheng Zhuo's hair was also scorched.

"Don't stop!"

Zheng Zhuo shouted.

He saw a multitude of plants—of all colors and sizes—leaving the farm in pursuit of him who had just fled. They follow the path of the sliding track and make a path through the forest.

It's amazing. It's scary. Many of them even had some ability to resist the flames, breaking through the flames and pulling at the body of the loofah flower.

The head of the loofah flower at the back was ripped off, but the snake vine still took over its body.

The vines of the two loofah flowers in front of him were also torn off quite a bit.

But in the end, it was the flames that prevailed over everything.

"Fast forward!"

Faster, faster.

Zheng Zhuo kept instructing.

The tougher these enemies were, the more hope they gave him.

This meant that all the strange plants had left the farm due to Zheng Zhuo's ultra-long distance.

This also means......

Now, the defense around the farm will be looser than ever.

Boom!

Burning countless leaves, Zheng Zhuo stepped over 2 plots in an instant.

In the next instant, there were 2 more.

He prioritized speed and burned only the closest threat, and that's it, while losing, while advancing—

Ultimately.

He returned to the farmstead.

In a very short time.

He didn't look back. He knew that the fire must have been brought under control, and that there must be a lot of plants coming back.

He landed in the last 6 plots.

The flames burned everything in front of them.

Zheng Zhuo led the loofah flowers forward, and finally ......

Step into the kingdom of the caregiver.

Around her farmstead.

Zheng Zhuo's long flamethrower burned some of the plants on the outside of the farm. He finally saw the facades and windows of the farmhouse.

That's when it happened.

“……！”

He saw a dark figure running from the window of the house to the back door.

Is it a carer?

……
