Ming spreads out four picnic mats and places plates filled with various fruits, honey-glazed grilled fish, and other snacks on them. He tells Little Bear to eat here, and he'll go in alone to harvest.
"If there are any enemies, just break their legs, and don't hit their heads. That's all money."
"Roar~" Little Bear sits on the picnic mat and grabs an apple to eat.
Ming hopes Little Bear understands, then pushes open the door to the earthworm forest, enters, and closes the door behind him.
The hunting time officially begins.
...
In Zone 109, four men and one woman stand at the foot of a square-shaped mountain, looking up at the webs covering the entire mountain.
"How many spiders are there on this mountain?"
"There should be at least a few thousand."
"This... should be the boss's house..." Alan hesitates. The location should be correct, but when he saw the boss's house through a telescope before, it was very tidy. Now... this place... is like a spider's nest.
"Look here!" Hawkins points to a wooden sign in the grass.
Everyone looks at it simultaneously, reading the text:
[Good person's home, fierce beasts inside]
[Keep your distance, if injured or killed]
[I won't pay a single cent...]
"..."
"This..." Alan pinches his chin.
The four men exchange glances and say in unison, "This must be the boss's house."
"..."
Eve looks at them, wondering how they can be so confident. She looks up from the foot of the mountain, "But... these dense spider webs covering the entire mountain show no signs of damage as if no one has been up there for a long time."
"What do you mean by that?" Mike glares at her, "Are you saying my big brother is dead?"
"I didn't mean that. I'm just being rational."
"We don't need you to be rational right now!"
ƥαṇdαηθνε| "Fine, my mistake." Eve doesn't continue the topic, as she understands the pain of losing a loved one. She wishes her sister were still alive.
"Why don't we just go up and see for ourselves?"
As David speaks, he points to the spider web, "Alan, use your eagle to take us up there. It's best not to destroy these webs."
"Alright," Alan commands the giant eagle to carry them up.
Three minutes later, everyone carefully stands on the mountaintop, surrounded by spider webs. A spider the size of a watermelon crawls past them, dragging silk from its rear...
They exchange glances and look around. They can hardly believe, but have to admit, that the spider created the webs covering the entire mountain. Such a small body with tremendous energy!
The five of them find no one here, their faces filled with disappointment and eyes brimming with tears.
When Alan sees the coconut tree and coconut crab inside the fine gold fence, tears flow from the corners of his eyes. He is sure this is his big brother's home. He remembers being chased by the coconut crab, a deep impression, and the birds his brother raised inside the wooden fence, which he had brought as gifts. His brother didn't even have the heart to eat them all...
Alan's tears grow thicker. At this moment, a squirrel stands on the roof, squeaking at them and throwing a walnut at David. David dodges, "You little thing, you're quite fierce. Stop throwing, I have lots of chestnuts for you..."
That's when David sees the neatly stacked sandbags in the corner of the first floor. His nose suddenly turns sour, not expecting that Gutmann has been thinking about him all this time, saving so much sand for him.
Gutmann, if you're still alive, I'll buy as much sand as you have, even if you mix in countless shells.
Tears in the corner of the eyes, people +1.
Mike looks at the gleaming mud flower field on the ground and remembers the scenes of fighting the stinky mud earthworms with his big brother. Although it was funny, those were warm memories. Big brother, please come back soon. After you come back, I'll follow you to drill into the sewer.
Tears in the corner of the eyes, people +1.
Hawkins recalls that Gutmann had invited him to his home, but now... well... that withered little yellow flower seems to be the one on his own...
Tears in the corner of the eyes, people +1.
Eve walks to the rooftop, wondering if Gutmann is really dead or if he's gone somewhere else.
Tears rolling down cheeks, people +1.
Upon reaching the rooftop, she sees the gazebo covered in spider webs, looking like a natural canopy. Next to a set of genuine leather sofas, a few small fruit-bearing trees grow, and there's a small pond with two blooming lotus flowers floating on it. Underneath the lotus leaves, there's a red koi fish. He truly loved animals, but it wasn't obvious at all.
The pots and pans are neatly arranged, and homemade smoked meat hangs from the roof. He was truly a man who knew how to live life. The row of nurse uniforms hanging to dry... hmmm, he really was a bit of a pervert.
...
Ming exits the earthworm forest gate, shaking off the mud all over his body. He had been careless; no matter how good his dodging skills were, he couldn't avoid the massive area of earthworms collectively spraying mud. There was nowhere to hide.
Lord-level earthworms were as numerous as hairs, and the king-level ones were countless, with even more mud spray. This wouldn't work; he needed a more effective method. While thinking of a strategy, he also repairs the durability of his equipment.
Looking at the little bear... hey~ the disdainful look in your eyes seems a bit off.
Come on~ hug me.
...
The others arrive on the rooftop, and David looks down at the two rabbits that are breeding, showing an envious look. He also wanted to get into animal breeding, as it was a trend for the future. However, it was difficult to purchase non-mutated wild animals. He had only bought a few birds from Alan, but how could bird meat compare to rabbit meat?
David looks at the steel house on the top of the mountain, "Now I finally understand why Gutmann liked to drill into the sewer every day. Those earthworms are an infinite cycle of experience. Killing one might turn it into two, endless. Do you know what that represents?"
Without waiting for others to speak, he continues, "That represents infinite experience, the safest way to gain experience, and an even more immeasurable market prospect in the future!"
David continues to marvel, "Bees combined with so many glowing flowers, sunflowers, and fruit trees create another food cycle system."
"What about this snail?" Eve points to a chicken egg-sized snail lying on the leaves of wild vegetables planted beside the pond.
David squats down and stares at the snail carefully, "I can't tell, but Gutmann must have had a good reason for keeping it."
"Are you done talking?" Alan glares at them and says, "Now that we're sure this is my brother's house, I'll wait here for him and look after this place. Nobody can touch anything here. Alright, I'll send you guys down. If my brother comes back, I'll inform you immediately."
Moments later, everyone is sent down the mountain by the giant eagle. Alan stands on the rooftop alone, looking at the small squirrel squatting not far away, "Don't be afraid, I'm your owner's good brother."
Then, he dodges the chestnut thrown by the little squirrel. After the squirrel finishes throwing, it jumps back onto the coconut tree. One minute later, when he isn't paying attention, it throws another pine cone at him.
At the foot of the mountain, Eve doesn't say that Gutmann might really be dead. She doesn't want to hurt the hearts of the three men around her because they still believe that Gutmann will return. Eve takes a deep breath, truly envious of such friendship.
"Big brother, I'll bid you farewell!" Mike takes out a musical instrument and begins to play.
...
Ming spreads his wings and flies in the air, holding a stack of spiked cards in each hand, ready to perform an air-to-ground bombardment. The next moment, a sky full of stinky mud is sprayed upward.
Ming, the 'Bomber', falls from the sky...
