There were some strange things in this world.
If someone had told Lin Sanjiu that she would be buried alive a day ago, no, even half an hour ago, she would have just sneered and summoned her [Tornado Whip].
But now, she was holding a number plate with number 49 in her hand, sitting on the edge of the rooftop of a building, her legs dangling in the air, quietly waiting for the moment when she would be "buried alive."
After she chased the Land Rover out of the neighborhood, she soon lost track of Xiaowu. She tried to walk forward for a long distance, but when she turned around, she could no longer see the residential area where Xiaowu had settled down.
Lin Sanjiu only took a quick glance before she turned her head back. Her eyes were fixed on something not far away from her. Her attention was completely captured by the scene before her.
The city was in ruins, and even the traces of the roads had been swallowed by nature. Weeds poked out from the cracks between the broken bricks. Broken power lines hung from buildings that were riddled with holes. The cold wind whistled through the broken windows.

If it wasn't for the fact that there was a place that didn't fit in with the apocalyptic scene.
"That … that is …" Ji Shanqing's arms were still wrapped around Lin Sanjiu's neck as he mumbled, "What is that place?"
"Get down first," Lin Sanjiu said as she peeled him off her back. Lin Sanjiu peeled him off her back and took a deep breath. Then, she looked into the distance and said with uncertainty, "This … is probably a pocket dimension?"
"If it really is a pocket dimension, then this place is a little too ostentatious."
If everything in front of him was like a poster, then at this moment, in front of him, behind a few collapsed buildings, a corner of the painting had been torn off. Then, a corner of a painting with a completely different style was pasted up.
The dark and lifeless remains of the human buildings collapsed together like a chess piece that had been overturned. The black traces left behind by the flames and smoke continued to spread through the yellow weeds until a patch of green grass abruptly took over the next space.
Behind that patch of grass, there was a piece of land that had been carefully tended to. The land looked fresh under the sunlight. The land was plowed neatly, and there were green shoots growing from time to time. Even though all the exposed food in the world could no longer be eaten, it still looked like a piece of farmland.
When Lin Sanjiu got closer, she realized that the farmland was very large. As far as the eye could see, it was almost impossible to see where it ended. Only the bridge at the far end of the horizon, which had faded into ink-like ink, still showed that it had once been a human city.
"... I feel like I'm dreaming," Ji Shanqing mumbled.
Lin Sanjiu didn't reply. She walked closer cautiously.
Someone had opened up a narrow path in the farmland. Both of them followed the path and soon, their eyes fell on a clean and white hut. Lin Sanjiu narrowed her eyes and looked at the wooden sign in front of the hut. The words "Harry's Farm" were written in several languages. She took a deep breath and turned to her grand prize. "I was right. This is a pocket dimension."
Only a pocket dimension would be so considerate as to take care of visitors from different worlds.
"A pocket dimension?" Ji Shanqing looked at the two-storey wooden hut that was painted milky-white. A nostalgic expression appeared on his face as if he felt that everything here was very familiar. "So, are we going in?"
"Of course not," Lin Sanjiu was startled. She turned around and waved her hand at him as if she was chasing a duck away. "There is nothing unusual on this piece of land. This means that we haven't officially entered the pocket dimension yet. Let's go now —"
"Are you sure? Miss? "
Before he could finish his sentence, a deep male voice rang out from behind.
"The pocket dimension has been activated? We haven't even entered it yet... "
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help sighing inwardly. She turned her head away, perhaps due to her unstable mental state. Perhaps it was due to her unstable mental state that her Potential Growth Value had been damaged, so she didn't notice when a person walked out of the hut behind her.
The person was about forty years old. His cheeks were rosy and he wore a denim shirt. He even had a scarf tied around his collar. Be it his appearance or his attire, he looked like a typical southern American farmer. He leaned his arm on the railing and smiled at the two of them. "Miss, you can leave anytime you want. But if you don't listen to me, you will miss out on a good opportunity."
Lin Sanjiu raised one of her brows. Even though she replied, "Oh?" However, he took a few steps back.
"Wait, don't go yet. Look," Harry called out. He walked out of the hut and turned the wooden sign in another direction. The back of the sign was densely engraved with lines of small words, "After you read this, you will know why you shouldn't leave."
"Harry's Farm, the gospel of mankind, the Noah's Ark for posthumans." Ji Shanqing craned his neck to look at the wooden sign as he read softly, "Harry's Farm provides you with shelter. It is your most reliable partner in the storm. Did you meet any enemies in the apocalypse? Come here, we will cover your tracks. Did you not have a place to stay in the apocalypse? Come here, we have prepared a bed for you. Did you encounter a food shortage? Come — "
"Wait a minute. Food shortage?" Lin Sanjiu immediately interrupted the advertisement.
To be honest, perhaps it was because she had used up too much of her energy, but she had been feeling hungry for a long time. She did not think it was serious at first, but now that she was reminded of it, she realized that there was a faint aroma of food coming from Harry's farm. It was so alluring that her eyes turned green.
"Come here, we will provide you with safe and healthy nutrients," Harry nodded with a smile and finished Ji Shanqing's sentence. "That's right. You don't have to worry about food here."
Lin Sanjiu snorted. She felt that Ji Shanqing must have taken her for a fool.
"Since this isn't a compulsory pocket dimension, let's go." Lin Sanjiu had suffered enough in the Pocket Dimension, so she did not care about Harry who was behind her. She pulled Ji Shanqing up and walked away.
"Hey, wait a minute. Why don't you trust me?" Harry raised his voice, sounding a little anxious. "My writing is so good — Hey! Hey! Aren't you guys walking a little too fast? "
Lin Sanjiu ran as fast as she could. It didn't take long for her to widen the distance between her and Harry's farm pocket dimension. Farmer Harry's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost an echo in the sky, "If you are too hungry, you can go to the farm. You're welcome to come back — "
Ji Shanqing only came back to his senses when he could no longer see the farm.
"Sis, are you really not going to ask him?" he asked cautiously, "After all, it's a pocket dimension …"
"I can't trust him exactly because it's a pocket dimension," Lin Sanjiu interrupted him. Lin Sanjiu cut him off abruptly. She didn't seem to know that the grand prize's hometown was also a pocket dimension, "After all, I've been through so many apocalyptic worlds. I don't believe that I can starve to death. "
When she said that, she was actually quite confident. After all, she hadn't used her [Nostradamus's Card] ever since she came to Meat Elysium.
Since the [Nostradamus's Card] could absorb apocalyptic elements in a small area, wouldn't it work if she could absorb all the "crypt particles" on the surface of the food?
Lin Sanjiu felt that this theory was feasible. After she found a secluded spot to rest, she quickly took out a bag of buttered mutton pancakes that she brought from Red Nautilus.
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The roasted mutton pancake, which had just been turned into a card, was immediately restored to its original state. Steam rose from the pancake, and the aroma of oil was mixed with the aroma of garlic, chopped green onions, cumin, and milk. The pastry was golden. Even the characters in her imagination squatted down and stared at the pancake.
When the number on her [Nostradamus's Card] reached 1.5% and stopped increasing, Lin Sanjiu immediately grabbed a corner of the pancake and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Wait!" Ji Shanqing blinked. As if he had thought of something, he suddenly lunged forward and grabbed the hot pancake in his hand. When he saw Lin Sanjiu staring at him, he quickly explained, "Sis, didn't you absorb the particles in the air as well? Just to be on the safe side, why don't you try to absorb the particles again? "
"What he said makes sense." Lin Sanjiu swallowed her saliva and used her [Nostradamus's Card] to scan the pancake again.
This time, she was shocked. She was so shocked that she almost dropped the biscuit in her hand. Earlier, she had only absorbed 1.5% of the crypt particles, but this time, the number suddenly jumped to 4.5%.
"Ah … It seems more serious than I thought," Ji Shanqing stared at the number and couldn't help feeling a little dumbfounded. After thinking for a while, he suddenly sighed, "It's useless even if I absorb all the particles. The food itself is exposed to the air. Unless you can purify it in a vacuum environment, there's no way to prevent secondary contamination. Apart from everything else, a small piece of clean land without any crypt particles would immediately become a 'low-lying zone' in the atmosphere here. More crypt particles will flow over because of the attraction … "
Unwilling to give up, Lin Sanjiu tried a few more times. Finally, she realized that what her grand prize said was right. In fact, she didn't even need to use her [Nostradamus's Card]. She just needed to convert the food into a card again, and the title of the card would change from [Onion Lady's Butter Mutton Pancake] to [Contaminated Butter Mutton Pancake].
As for the sealed food that they found in the supermarkets and the houses, they were of even less help. Even though the food was isolated from the air, it was impossible for Lin Sanjiu to eat all the plastic bags and aluminum cans.
After wandering around the deserted city for a few more days, Lin Sanjiu, who didn't even dare to eat a single drop of water, finally couldn't take it anymore.
In order to maintain her abilities and stamina, she had to expend a lot of energy every day. Not to mention, she had encountered a few duoluozhongs and was involved in a few battles. Even though her current condition was still manageable, the issue of food and water was like a heavy, dark cloud that was pressing down on her with each passing day.
Without food and water, Lin Sanjiu's skin withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her muscles and fat were decomposing rapidly, gradually revealing the outline of her bony bones.
On a morning that was no different from any other day, Lin Sanjiu opened her eyes for a few seconds and realized that the world was still dark. She finally sighed and made up her mind.
"Let's go," she ordered Ji Shanqing with a hoarse voice, "Let's go to Harry's Farm."
As a precaution, both of them had memorized the location of Harry's farm before they left. Hence, when they returned to Harry's farm, other than the fact that Lin Sanjiu was a little slow due to her lack of stamina, everything else went smoothly.
Farmer Harry didn't seem surprised to see Lin Sanjiu again.
Even though he had expected that they would return, he did not show a "What did I say?" expression. Instead, he warmly welcomed the two of them into the house. Even though her vision blurred with every step she took, Lin Sanjiu still stopped cautiously before she entered the house.
"All the food in the world is contaminated and inedible, even the freshly grown ones," Ji Shanqing said as he held Lin Sanjiu's arm. She held onto Ji Shanqing's arm. She could not even speak properly. "Can you explain why you have food here?"
"Aiya," the ruddy-faced farmer scratched his scalp under his hat, "I didn't say that I have food here."
"What? You clearly — "
"No, no, miss. Don't misunderstand," Harry comforted her with a smile. Harry smiled and comforted her. "I can provide you with the nutrients you need to live — it's different from food."
"What do you mean?"
"It's true that everything that is exposed to the air and the surface will be contaminated, but underneath the layers of fertile soil, it is still clean," Harry said honestly. "I think you must have misunderstood when you saw the word 'farm'. You might think that I am growing crops or crops here, but I am actually growing humans."
Even Ji Shanqing, who was usually smart, couldn't understand what Lin Sanjiu was saying.
"In this instance dungeon, you will be fortunate enough to become a plant in the hands of a farmer. You will be able to absorb nutrients from the deepest soil. When you have completely grown out of the soil, you will be a person full of vitality and energy. Every time you go through this planting and harvesting period, you will be able to maintain your energy for at least a month. " As Harry spoke, he took out a number tag from his pocket and handed it to Lin Sanjiu, "Come … I have to take care of every seed I plant. So, if you want to be planted, you have to queue up … There are seven people in front of you. It will be your turn in a week."
Lin Sanjiu felt that her expression must be very ugly at that moment. However, after hesitating for a few seconds, she still took the number tag. (To be continued.)
PS:
"I have completely forgotten about my old idea. However, when I was on the bus to the hospital, I saw a patch of green land passing by outside the window and suddenly came up with this new idea … Anyway, 90% of the story is in a rectal prolapse state, so I don't think anyone would mind …"
