00:00:00To celebrate our village's relocation, we held a feast.
00:00:02I got lucky and won a fully loaded luxury RV.
00:00:05But the chief's niece, Ellie Foster, only drew an abandoned mine.
00:00:08She instantly lost it.
00:00:09The chief forced me.
00:00:10I was an orphan with no backing, so I had to swap with her.
00:00:12But a week later, the acid rain apocalypse hit.
00:00:14And right after that, a massive zombie horde followed.
00:00:16Ellie tore around in the RV until the acid rain ate right through it, leaving her stranded.
00:00:19Zombies swarmed her and ripped her apart.
00:00:21Meanwhile, I found a hidden bunker built by the miners.
00:00:24Built like a fortress quake-proof and packed with supplies.
00:00:27It protected me from the apocalypse.
00:00:28I lived in peace.
00:00:30But before dying, jealous Ellie told the villagers about my secret bunker.
00:00:33I went soft and let them in.
00:00:35They robbed me blind and kicked me out.
00:00:37I ended up zombie food too.
00:00:38When I woke again, I was back on the day of the lottery.
00:00:40I turned and met Ellie's stare.
00:00:42So spiteful, dripping with envy.
00:00:44I knew then she'd been reborn too.
00:00:45She got the same mine, yet looked thrilled.
00:00:47Folks whispered she'd snapped from disappointment.
00:00:50Only I knew she wanted my bunker, planning to steal my lifeline.
00:00:53I was pressured to give her the RV.
00:00:55The chief doting on her swore at me.
00:00:56Travis Cooper, who had a crush on Ellie, said that if she lost her mind, I'd pay for it.
00:01:01His flunky, rusty chimed in.
00:01:03One word from Travis and they'd break my legs.
00:01:05More villagers gathered, all blaming me.
00:01:08Exact same scene as my last life.
00:01:09But Ellie cut them off, saying she just wanted the mine.
00:01:12She shot me a side eye.
00:01:14Smug as hell.
00:01:14The village gossiped Mrs. Collins asked why.
00:01:16But she couldn't mention rebirth.
00:01:17She acted pitiful, claiming she'd played there as a kid and the village started there.
00:01:21As the chief's kin, she had a duty to guard it.
00:01:23Hearing that, everyone praised her loyalty.
00:01:25Watching the show, I felt sick.
00:01:26I didn't call her out.
00:01:27I slipped the RV keys into my bag and brushed past her.
00:01:30She scoffed and said that last life, I stole the piece that was hers.
00:01:33This time, I'd be torn apart by zombies and she'd live happily.
00:01:37I acted clueless, but inside I laughed.
00:01:39That bunker looked like salvation, but it would only bring trouble.
00:01:42Those villagers were greedier than expected.
00:01:44Once the secret was out, they'd drag her through hell.
00:01:46I bolted to the RV, slammed the door, and called Mr. Thompson.
00:01:49I had to stack cash before doomsday, so I decided to sell everything.
00:01:52I told him I'd sell it 20% under market, but we had to close in three days.
00:01:56Mr. Thompson froze, then said yes.
00:01:58Then, I spent the whole night maxing out every loan app, yet only scraped 400 grand.
00:02:02Still way short.
00:02:03From my past life memory, I knew gold would skyrocket.
00:02:06So I threw every dollar at it.
00:02:08I was hoping to get rich quick.
00:02:10Relying on my memories, I made a fortune trading gold, and my money shot up tenfold.
00:02:13Staring at my account balance, I started thinking about how to ride out the apocalypse with it.
00:02:18If I built a mega bunker, I'd be stuck and become a sitting duck.
00:02:21Hire retired soldiers as bodyguards?
00:02:22They'd probably stab me in the back.
00:02:24Just as I was stressing, I spotted a tiny button under the wheel.
00:02:28Curiosity kicked in, so I pressed it.
00:02:29The wheel began to glow, and I instinctively placed my hand on it.
00:02:33The whole RV flashed with white light.
00:02:35When the glow faded, an elf appeared.
00:02:37It said if I signed a contract, I could unlock the RV's hidden system.
00:02:40For every mission it gave me, it would pay random rewards.
00:02:43That'd be my best shot at surviving.
00:02:44I froze for a beat, then came to my senses and agreed.
00:02:48Compared with humans, this nameless elf actually felt safer than people after I signed it.
00:02:52The first mission was to upgrade the RV.
00:02:54I rang up the world's top custom car shop, told them I was heading into a war zone, and
00:02:58only tank-grade armor could calm my nerves.
00:03:00I paid ten times the price to turn my RV into a three-story beast and demanded it in two
00:03:04days.
00:03:05Since mutated zombies hit like freight trains, I splurged on ex-special forces soldiers to weaponize
00:03:10the RV.
00:03:10Level 1 got a bulldozer blade to sweep obstacles.
00:03:12On level 2, I mounted remote control cannons.
00:03:15Level 3 got fully autogun turrets to repel attack.
00:03:18Outside, I hid 20 micro-cameras, so I'd have zero blind spots on everything outside.
00:03:22All windows became bulletproof glass, and even the tires got swapped for tank-style tracks,
00:03:27so any terrain felt smooth.
00:03:29I got a new door, too.
00:03:30Double-layer, blast-proof, openable only with separate codes and prints.
00:03:33The elf also provided a special anti-corrosion paint to shrug off acid rain.
00:03:37I coated the entire RV with it, tracks included.
00:03:40A neighbor saw that, and said I was just showing off just cause I'd struck it rich.
00:03:44I ignored her and flung out a box of cash right in front of her.
00:03:46Staring at the bundles, the workers started working faster.
00:03:50But my neighbor's eyes were green with envy.
00:03:52Once the upgrade was done, I bought the slickest closed-loop water filter so I'd never run dry.
00:03:56After this, my first reward appeared.
00:03:59After upgrading the RV, I unlocked a farm space as a reward.
00:04:02I jumped in right away and saw roughly 1.65 acres of land.
00:04:05There was a plot already tilled in the center.
00:04:07A fishpond on the left, a small farmhouse on the right.
00:04:10The elf explained that everything there grew ten times faster than outside,
00:04:14and even came with special buffs.
00:04:15Also, by completing certain missions, the farm could level up endlessly.
00:04:18Bigger fields, and brand new zones.
00:04:20Since this was my very first mission, it even came with a bonus reward.
00:04:23With a sharp whistle, a gigantic warehouse popped up.
00:04:26It could stash enough supplies to last me a lifetime.
00:04:29I rushed out and went on a shopping rampage, cleaning out two supermarkets.
00:04:33Thousands of barrels of water, crates of survival biscuits, ramen cans, antibiotics piled into a small mountain.
00:04:38Plus tampons, gasoline, and diesel.
00:04:40All of it made me feel safer.
00:04:42Next stop, the town seed shop.
00:04:43I bought veggie and fruit seeds.
00:04:45Then I bought fingerlings, eggs, chickens, and a handful of piglets, calves, and lambs from the farmer next door.
00:04:50With this farm system, and my old farming chops, I could live off the RV in peace.
00:04:55I also shelled out big bucks for guns, ammo, Kevlar vests, plus drones for scouting and hauling in the black
00:05:00market.
00:05:01It was the last day before the apocalypse.
00:05:03Staring at the packed warehouse, a sense of security wrapped around me.
00:05:05I knew I could survive the apocalypse.
00:05:07I pulled up the camera feeds.
00:05:08Everything looked normal.
00:05:09The village was calm and peaceful as usual.
00:05:11Before I turned it off, I spotted Travis and Rusty glowering at my RV, clearly plotting something.
00:05:17I could sense their greed and malice even from 30 yards away.
00:05:20My nerves tightened.
00:05:21The evil in people had revealed itself long before the apocalypse.
00:05:23I was ready to leave, and that was when things went sideways.
00:05:26Before the apocalypse, my RV had already been ringed by the villagers.
00:05:29Just as I was about to gun it and get away from the local thugs,
00:05:32Mrs. Collins jumped in front of my RV, pretending to fall, lying right there, and screamed for cash.
00:05:37Turned out she figured I'd struck it rich just from my shopping,
00:05:39so she pulled this stunt to squeeze some money out of me.
00:05:42Ellie saw it and instantly egged her on, yelling for the nearby villagers,
00:05:46claiming I'd hit her on purpose, refused to pay, and wanted to run.
00:05:48The villagers swarmed over, asking for an explanation.
00:05:51Seeing the numbers on her side, Ellie barked orders for me to get out and apologize.
00:05:55Otherwise, she'd have them smash my RV to pieces.
00:05:57Hearing that, Travis and Rusty immediately grabbed shovels, hose, whatever was handy,
00:06:01and moved to bash in my ride.
00:06:02I didn't want to waste my time on them.
00:06:04Money would soon become worthless paper anyway.
00:06:05So I opened the window and flung a fistful of bills out.
00:06:08Mrs. Collins, who had been on the ground just a second ago, sprang up and scooped up the scattered cash.
00:06:12The crowd rushed in too, scrambling for the money.
00:06:15Travis and Rusty reached to grab some, but one glare from Ellie froze them.
00:06:18She ordered them back to my RV, swearing to make me pay.
00:06:21Travis didn't blink and swung a shovel at my door.
00:06:24Bang!
00:06:24A huge clang echoed.
00:06:25The shovel flew from his hands, his palms went numb, while the door didn't get a scratch.
00:06:29Right beside him, Rusty was blasted by the recoil, landing on his ass.
00:06:33Just when I thought they'd finally quit, and this farce was over,
00:06:36Ellie said one thing that dragged me right back into hell.
00:06:39In the past life, Ellie's greed got her killed.
00:06:41This time, she swore to wipe out anyone who knew about her secret bunker.
00:06:44To track my every move, way back, she installed a Trojan on my phone.
00:06:48That was how she found out I'd struck it rich, flipping gold.
00:06:51She hyped up the villagers, telling them I'd made over 14 million dollars by trading gold and should pay up.
00:06:56People who'd been grabbing my cash suddenly froze, shocked by that crazy number.
00:07:00Then they all turned their rage on me.
00:07:02Some played good cop, some played bad, and a few old-timers glared with blood-red envious eyes.
00:07:06They cursed me as selfish, only caring about myself.
00:07:08I wanted to pay them off, but then I realized what I'd thrown out was every last cent I had.
00:07:11Naturally, nobody bought it.
00:07:13They started beating on my RV, with farm tools.
00:07:15And Mr. Collins rolled up in his tractor and slammed into the RV again and again.
00:07:18I had guns, but I couldn't bring myself to shoot them.
00:07:21I was stuck, clueless.
00:07:23Ellie just stood there, watching.
00:07:24Seeing I was frozen, she smirked.
00:07:26Her plan had worked, so she walked away, heading back to her bunker to await the impending apocalypse.
00:07:31The villagers seeing me sit tight in the RV grew more agitated.
00:07:35Thompson even climbed onto my roof, pressing against the windshield.
00:07:37Just when I thought it'd drag on, thick clouds suddenly rolled in, the sky flashing an eerie green.
00:07:42Moments later, the rain came down in sheets.
00:07:44They all looked up, staring at the sudden change.
00:07:46But soon they realized something.
00:07:47This wasn't just rain.
00:07:48It was corrosive acid rain.
00:07:50They scattered in panic, and I realized the apocalypse had arrived early.
00:07:54The apocalypse had hit.
00:07:55It was insanely corrosive.
00:07:56Even steel melted under it.
00:07:57Once caught in the rain, skin rotted within seconds.
00:07:59If the rot got bad enough, people turned into zombies.
00:08:02At first, no one knew how deadly it was.
00:08:04Minutes later, more and more villagers started howling in agony.
00:08:06Their skin burst into burn-like ulcers.
00:08:09They scattered in terror.
00:08:10Only Mr. Collins kept at it, gunning his tractor and slamming into my RV.
00:08:13He yelled that he wouldn't leave without the compensation.
00:08:15He never saw the tractor's roof already riddled with acid holes.
00:08:19With no cover left, the rain poured straight onto him.
00:08:21His clothes started to melt.
00:08:23Steam hissed off his body.
00:08:24Then his clothes hung in shreds.
00:08:26His skin was covered with ulcers.
00:08:28He jumped off the tractor, writhing on the ground, screaming.
00:08:31Soon he went completely still.
00:08:32Watching from inside my RV, I could do nothing.
00:08:35All I could do was sigh.
00:08:36I checked the situation outside.
00:08:38The villagers had all gone.
00:08:39Fields that were lush a minute ago now lay with crops drooping dead.
00:08:42They had turned yellow.
00:08:43Leaves shredded to ribbons.
00:08:44A food crisis was about to hit.
00:08:45I had to get back to my farm fast.
00:08:47Just as I was about to drive off, Mr. Collins, who was lying on the ground, suddenly jerked
00:08:51upright in a weird way.
00:08:52His limbs twisted, glaring at my RV.
00:08:54He sprang forward, smashing himself against my window, gnawing at the glass and slamming
00:08:58his head against it.
00:08:59There he was, the very first zombie in the apocalypse.
00:09:01My rebirth messed up the timeline, so the acid rain got worse.
00:09:04It was more corrosive, and mutations happened faster.
00:09:07My elf also said, the longer a zombie stayed in the rain, the harder it hit.
00:09:11Some might even evolve a second time.
00:09:12If I didn't want a shit show, I had to act fast and drop Mr. Collins.
00:09:16With that warning, I acted fast.
00:09:18I activated the turret, locked on him, and fired.
00:09:22After a burst of lead, the freak hit the deck.
00:09:24The elf glowed warm gold again.
00:09:26It congratulated me on the kill and unlocked the seed shop.
00:09:29It told me to check out the farm space.
00:09:31I stepped inside and spotted a tiny unmanned shop there.
00:09:33As I walked up to it, the system panel popped open.
00:09:36There were three options.
00:09:37Attack crops, support crops, enhancement crops.
00:09:39The elf explained this upgrades plants, so they come with special buffs.
00:09:42I could choose the type, but plant and buff were random.
00:09:46Out here, survival was all about firepower.
00:09:48So I clicked attack crops.
00:09:49Instantly, a new panel appeared.
00:09:52The elf reminded me the RV's third floor had become a special grow room.
00:09:56If I tapped the panel, planting would start.
00:09:58My chili seeds had evolved into explosive peppers.
00:10:00According to its instructions, I swiped the panel, and every plot filled with peppers.
00:10:04Right then, my RV started morphing again.
00:10:06A flash of gold hit, and a new rooftop field appeared.
00:10:09Each soil patch glowed faint red.
00:10:11After planting the crops, I split the rest of the farm into three blocks.
00:10:14Veggies, fruit, and corn.
00:10:15In the veggie zone, I planted lettuce, cabbages, tomatoes, and other quick-grow greens.
00:10:19For fruit, I picked oranges, peaches, and apples.
00:10:22No trellis needed.
00:10:23And corn was mainly for feeding my livestock.
00:10:26It was necessary.
00:10:27Once that was done, I pulled out my phone to check the time, but an official alert popped up.
00:10:31A new wave of dread hit me.
00:10:32In just one week, civilization had collapsed.
00:10:35Corrosive acid rain ate through the roof of Z-City's largest water plant.
00:10:38It mixed into tap water, and clueless people drank it, turning into zombies.
00:10:42Warning had been issued.
00:10:43Stay indoors.
00:10:44No showers.
00:10:45Drink only bottled water.
00:10:46The city went full chaos.
00:10:47But villagers who drank well water got through it.
00:10:50Still, I didn't want to stay.
00:10:51Because everyone saw me hauling supplies.
00:10:54So I planned to drive off to find a secluded place, lying low and working on my farm.
00:10:58After a three-day drive, I was dead tired.
00:11:01I planned to check the farm, then crash for a whole day.
00:11:04But surprisingly, I found the chicks, and even the calves had grown a lot.
00:11:07Every egg had hatched, too.
00:11:08Everything grows crazy fast in that pocket farm.
00:11:10My old headache of getting fresh meat was solved in an instant, so I decided to treat myself with chicken
00:11:15soup.
00:11:16Up on the RV's second floor, my DIY kitchen doubled as a lounge.
00:11:19I took a sip of the soup, its savory, meaty goodness bursting on my tongue.
00:11:22The chicken was juicier than I expected.
00:11:23Outside, acid rain was pouring.
00:11:25Inside, I was slurping hot soup.
00:11:26My past self could never have imagined it.
00:11:28Just as I was about to lie down and get some rest,
00:11:31I noticed a swarm of zombies has gathered in front of the RV.
00:11:34Every planned escape route was completely blocked.
00:11:36But this time, I'd got my ultimate fortress, the RV, ready to face the apocalypse.
00:11:40Come on, bring it on, you undead bastards.
00:11:42In my last life, all I could do was to run for dear life.
00:11:44But this time, my combat power soared.
00:11:46When the horde closed in, I wasn't nearly as helpless.
00:11:49I instantly chose to hit back, fired up the triple-layer auto-turrets.
00:11:52They mowed down the zombies on both sides.
00:11:54In a heartbeat, a dozen zombies were completely toast.
00:11:56I switched to the second-floor guns and shredded the ones on my windshield.
00:11:59The packed horde from a second ago was now split by a clear path.
00:12:03I thought the danger was over.
00:12:04Just as I was about to roll, I noticed another wave in the distance, stampeding at the RV.
00:12:08No way was I wasting all day on them, because the turrets could fry themselves.
00:12:11So I slammed the gas, trying to punch through.
00:12:13But they swarmed too fast.
00:12:14The route was blocked.
00:12:15The rig crawled forward inch by inch, while more and more zombies scrambled up the windows.
00:12:19My view was gone, too.
00:12:20Just as panic set in, the elf alerted me that my special crops were right.
00:12:24I should go check them.
00:12:25I yanked up the panel and found my peppers fully grown.
00:12:28Should I harvest?
00:12:29Hell yes.
00:12:29I also loaded them as ammo.
00:12:31After the preparation, I spun the turrets back on.
00:12:33Tiny peppers blasted out of the barrels.
00:12:35The moment they hit flesh, they blew to bits.
00:12:37The boom was insane.
00:12:38In a flash, the horde around me was dust.
00:12:40I stomped the pedal and bolted, then dropped the dozer blade to plow myself a path.
00:12:44I thought I had finally shaken the horde and was ready to leave.
00:12:46That was when the real killers made their entrance.
00:12:49I used the explosive pepper to blow back the zombie horde.
00:12:52But before I could celebrate, a new nightmare hit.
00:12:54Out of nowhere, the ground began to shake and the shaking kept growing.
00:12:57Through the cams, I saw a zombie as tall as my RV, a hulking freak, charging at me.
00:13:01My blood ran cold.
00:13:02I slammed the pedal down, hoping my speed would lose it.
00:13:04But to my horror, the gap between us kept shrinking.
00:13:07The elf popped out and told me it was twice mutated.
00:13:09That red-eyed giant wasn't just strong, it was fast, too.
00:13:12Risking an overload, I forced the turret online.
00:13:14But every round I fired pinged off its hide, not even a scratch.
00:13:17I swerved onto the mountain road, hoping the twists would shake it off.
00:13:22Panicking, I asked the elf if it had a plan.
00:13:24It just bowed its head in silence.
00:13:26Right then, the giant zombie vaulted up and landed behind the RV.
00:13:29It smashed a fist into it with insane force.
00:13:32I loaded another explosive pepper and blasted the giant.
00:13:35After the explosion, the smoke thinned and the giant corpse was gone from my mirror.
00:13:39I thought I'd finally nailed it, but a massive rock dropped out of nowhere behind me, blocking the road.
00:13:45Behind me, the giant zombie kept closing in.
00:13:47Then I saw an even crueler scene.
00:13:49On top of the rock stood another giant zombie.
00:13:51Two mountain-sized mutants lunged at me, claws flailing.
00:13:54My death clock just started ticking.
00:13:56Giant zombies came barreling at me.
00:13:57The system chime popped up just then.
00:13:59Congrats, host.
00:14:00Zombie horde repelled.
00:14:01Gaining extra reward.
00:14:02Plant fusion system.
00:14:03The elf explained that it was an assistant module, like a tile-matching game.
00:14:06On the control panel, if I merged any three crops of the same level, I would get one higher-tier
00:14:10plant.
00:14:10It'd be several times stronger.
00:14:12I instantly tapped the panel and fuse all the leftover peppers.
00:14:14They upgraded to blazing pepper.
00:14:15I fired them from the turret.
00:14:17Just like the elf said, the blast was way nastier, leaving everything ablaze.
00:14:21That hulking, bulletproof zombies got torched to ash.
00:14:23I'd pull it off without a scratch.
00:14:25Using the rest of the peppers, I blew the rock apart and gunned the RV forward.
00:14:29Finally, I shook off the whole horde.
00:14:30I figured I'd use this lull to catch my breath.
00:14:32Back-to-back crises made me exhausted.
00:14:34I entered the pocket farm, hit the seed shop for seeds, getting ready to plant more explosive pepper.
00:14:38But the elf said new crops just unlocked.
00:14:40I picked a support corp this round.
00:14:42My corn upgraded into energy corn.
00:14:44Sprite explained, if I fed it to the chickens, they'd grow way faster.
00:14:47And the corn doubled as fuel.
00:14:49Hearing that, I was thrilled.
00:14:50Now I could crank out almost every resource myself.
00:14:53No more reasons to leave the RV.
00:14:54And that was not the best part.
00:14:56My special corp farm leveled up too, and a surprise was waiting.
00:14:59Survived the giant zombie crisis, my specialty crop farm leveled up again.
00:15:02I'd been stressing because the space was too small.
00:15:05This upgrade doubled the planting area.
00:15:06Now I could grow both explosive pepper and energy corn.
00:15:09And the growth rate skyrocketed.
00:15:10Peppers that used to take seven days were ready in just five days now.
00:15:13And energy corn matured in only three.
00:15:15Good news kept piling up, so I figured I deserved a treat.
00:15:18First, I checked the crops in my pocket farm.
00:15:20Then I went to feed the chickens.
00:15:21Finally, I headed to the fish pond.
00:15:23To my surprise, the fingerlings I dropped in had already grown big.
00:15:25I'd spent the last few days running, living on survival biscuits.
00:15:28And I was sick of them.
00:15:29So I decided to whip up some braised carp.
00:15:31I got it done perfectly.
00:15:34Crispy, springy skin with tender, firm meat.
00:15:36I took a bite.
00:15:37It was fresh with a hint of sweetness.
00:15:38No muddy taste at all, and almost no bones.
00:15:40Guess anything raised in the pocket farm would level up in quality.
00:15:43Once I got some spare time, I'd expanding into livestock.
00:15:46Veggies were fine, but I enjoyed meat more.
00:15:48Just as I grabbed my phone to kill some time, I was shocked to see zero signal bars.
00:15:52With no news from outside, I got no clue where to head next.
00:15:54Out of options, I opened up the RV's radio, hoping to catch something.
00:15:57After a burst of static, I locked onto the official channel.
00:16:00But the announcement that followed threw me back into panic.
00:16:03The acid rain kept pouring.
00:16:04All the network cables had been eaten away.
00:16:06The entire internet was toast.
00:16:07Cities were a complete mess.
00:16:08An official broadcast said our only way to talk now was via radio.
00:16:12Later, every information would go out over the airwaves.
00:16:14The government urged everyone to go to the countryside or somewhere with fewer people.
00:16:18Big, crowded cities had way more zombies.
00:16:20And even had worse, new, tougher mutants.
00:16:22Hearing that, I started to freak out.
00:16:23If I wanted someplace quiet, I'd have to cut through a city.
00:16:26But forcing my way in meant facing stronger zombies.
00:16:28But I didn't want to go back to that village that hated my guts.
00:16:31While I'm stuck debating, the elf told me to retreat to the village and wait till my farm grew bigger.
00:16:36I should stack up enough peppers first.
00:16:38Out of options, I swung the RV around and drove toward the village.
00:16:41Meanwhile, in the village, a crowd is gathering outside Ellie's bunker.
00:16:44Before the apocalypse, she hauled supplies to the abandoned mine every day.
00:16:47She was careful, but a few kids spotted her.
00:16:50They tailed Ellie and found the bunker.
00:16:52Now that acid rain had trashed many homes, people crammed into that mine.
00:16:56They kept asking Ellie to hand over supplies, or they'd break in.
00:16:59Ellie's sure I snitched before leaving.
00:17:00So she hated my guts.
00:17:02Every day, she plotted payback.
00:17:03A massive scheme was silently unfolding across the village.
00:17:07Ellie wanted her revenge, so she started recruiting in the village.
00:17:09And I was clueless about it.
00:17:11Still enjoying the slow farm life.
00:17:13Since deciding to lie low in the village, I'd been half tending crops, half tinkering with the system.
00:17:17There was still a two-day drive.
00:17:19The cabbages and tomatoes I planted were all right.
00:17:22So today, I plan to harvest them all.
00:17:25Once the field was cleared, a system prompt popped up.
00:17:27Congrats, host.
00:17:28Mission complete.
00:17:29Progress.
00:17:291,000.
00:17:301,000.
00:17:30Your farm area has leveled up.
00:17:32With a flash of white light, my pocket farm just got way bigger.
00:17:34Time to try some new crops.
00:17:36I chose potatoes and peanuts.
00:17:37They could be kept for a long time.
00:17:38I swung by the barn.
00:17:40My chickens jumped from a dozen to over a hundred.
00:17:42The cows were giving milk again.
00:17:44And the pigs and sheep were fully grown.
00:17:45Even better.
00:17:47Thanks to the special crop upgrade, I cranked out a whopping 2,000 blaze peppers.
00:17:50Energy corn filled an entire silo.
00:17:51Food, fuel, and firepower were all upgraded.
00:17:54Back in the village, Ellie told people she'd stockpiled a mountain of supplies.
00:17:57But when she saw me drive off in the RV, she gave most of it to me.
00:18:00If I'd just hand that stash over, the whole village could eat and relax for a year.
00:18:03After hearing this, they all got fired up.
00:18:05But since no one knew where I was, nobody followed her.
00:18:08Just when they thought it was over, Ellie was pretty confident.
00:18:11She pulled out her trump card from a box.
00:18:12The apocalypse showdown between us began.
00:18:15Ellie had made me the village's enemy.
00:18:16Now she was rallying them to take me out for good.
00:18:18And I was heading straight into that death trap village.
00:18:21Ellie pulled a radar device from a box.
00:18:23She told the villagers it'd show my RV's exact location.
00:18:25Before the world went to hell, she'd secretly planted a tracker inside my RV.
00:18:29Never thought it'd pay off like this.
00:18:31She's noticed I'd been creeping closer to the village, which meant I was coming back.
00:18:34She ordered everyone to rig traps on my only way in.
00:18:36Whoever got me alive could get two whole cases of ramen.
00:18:39Local thug Travis perked up all fired up and greedy.
00:18:40He swore to Ellie, if I showed up, I'd never get out.
00:18:43He slapped a plank on his head and bolted for a cave with Rusty.
00:18:46Meanwhile, the nearer I got to the village, the worse my gut felt.
00:18:50I needed as much intel on the village.
00:18:52Suddenly it hit me that I bought a recon drone.
00:18:54I'd coated it with acid-proof paint and sent it buzzing toward the village.
00:18:58On the way, I saw most houses were wrecked shells.
00:19:00The pond had gone green from acid rain.
00:19:02Just then, up on the mountain road, I found Rusty and Travis with helmets on,
00:19:06crammed into thick chemical plant hazmat suits, crouched in a small cave.
00:19:09A huge round rock blocked the mouth.
00:19:11They wanted to shove it out as I passed and pancaked my RV.
00:19:14I yanked the drone back and started thinking.
00:19:16That mountain road was the only route home, so I'd gotta deal with those two.
00:19:19Lucky for me, they were idiots.
00:19:21I glanced down the slope at a few scattered zombies and was ready to make my move.
00:19:24In the apocalypse, people were even scarier than zombies.
00:19:26I was still on my way back when the villagers ambushed me.
00:19:28But after being reborn, I fought back right away.
00:19:31I flew my drone to lure a few stray zombies straight at Travis and Rusty.
00:19:35Those two idiots were so focused on the rock, they never noticed the zombies.
00:19:38When they did, the zombies were in their faces.
00:19:41They freaked out and bolted.
00:19:43Travis was about to get grabbed, so in a panic, he yanked Rusty by the arm and flung him backward.
00:19:47Rusty hit the dirt and Travis dashed ahead.
00:19:50The zombies behind them chomped into Rusty's left shoulder.
00:19:52He screamed for help, but Travis shot him a glance and kept running.
00:19:56Rusty was shredded on the spot.
00:19:57Meanwhile, I slipped onto the mountain road.
00:20:00And I realized again how ruthless Travis was.
00:20:02In the bunker, Ellie heard Rusty was dead and that I'd made it back.
00:20:06She cursed Travis for being useless and started counting what supplies were left.
00:20:09To her shock, the stash she'd built up, enough for 20 years, was already over half gone.
00:20:13If she kept handing it out, it'd be gone in under a month.
00:20:16To fix this mess, Ellie decided to launch an all-out attack on me.
00:20:20If they pulled it off, they'd survive the supply crunch.
00:20:22If they blew it, the acid rain would still kill some villagers, slowing the burn rate on supplies.
00:20:26And I'd soon be facing their batshit crazy revenge.
00:20:28To fix the shelter's supply crunch, Ellie rounded up the villagers to storm my RV and loot it.
00:20:32I was inside totally clueless.
00:20:34I had just finished tending my crops and was about to cook.
00:20:36Then I realized the RV was ringed by villagers.
00:20:38Every one of them was bundled up in thick rubber suits, helmet strapped on.
00:20:41It turned out Ellie had found a pile of discarded hazmat suits deep in the mine.
00:20:45Some were ripped, yet they still kept out the rain.
00:20:47The chief shouted at me from outside, playing the neighbor card to guilt trip me.
00:20:51Ordering me to hand over every supply so he could redistribute them.
00:20:54When I refused, his face flipped.
00:20:55Said that if I didn't cave, I'd pay the price when the rain stopped.
00:20:58But I shrugged off his threat.
00:20:59Right then, Mrs. Collins appeared, weeping as she pleaded.
00:21:02She said her husband died because of me.
00:21:03And now, she just wanted a little food to save herself and her kid.
00:21:06After that, she pointed at her seven-year-old beside her.
00:21:08My heart sank for a moment, but then I remembered how she'd screwed me.
00:21:11So I hesitated.
00:21:12Just then, a violent jolt snapped me back to reality.
00:21:14Miller, who was driving a farmseater, started ramming my RV madly.
00:21:18Meanwhile, Harris and his son closed in with a tractor and a loader.
00:21:21The hits were so hard that the whole RV rocked.
00:21:24They clearly knew they couldn't stay in the acid rain long, so they decided to win all out.
00:21:28Then the chief dragged out a homemade field cannon and started blasting my door.
00:21:31My battle with the villagers had flared up once again.
00:21:33The villagers tried every way for my stash.
00:21:36But before I could reply, they showed their evil side.
00:21:38And I completely lost my patience.
00:21:39I swung the turret toward them, hoping a little scare would back them off.
00:21:44But Ellie knew that I'd never hurt the villagers.
00:21:47So she played the pity card.
00:21:48She said I was an orphan.
00:21:49Without their help, I'd have been dead by now.
00:21:51If I dared shoot them, I was being ungrateful.
00:21:53While I hesitated, Mr. Barrett's protective suit got even more torn,
00:21:56slowly letting in acid rain.
00:21:58His skin melted in seconds.
00:21:59He writhed on the ground, soaking up even more acid rain.
00:22:02Moments later, he went still.
00:22:03Panic spread through the crowd.
00:22:04Everyone feared they were next.
00:22:06Thirty seconds later, Mr. Barrett, who lay still, mutated into a zombie.
00:22:08He slowly got up, lunging at the nearest person.
00:22:11The chief reacted first, firing two shots.
00:22:13Then Travis swung a shovel, smacking the zombie down.
00:22:15Just when everyone thought it was over, Mrs. Collins shrieked in terror.
00:22:18A horde of zombies was approaching.
00:22:19The racket we'd made had drawn every zombie nearby.
00:22:22The chief yelled for everyone to run.
00:22:24But the heavy protective suits and the muddy farmland kept them slow.
00:22:28The older folks were tackled first.
00:22:30Seeing this, the villagers who'd acted united didn't bother to lift a finger.
00:22:34The zombies' chaos helped me to dodge death again.
00:22:36And when the dust settled, I even scored an unexpected haul.
00:22:37The villagers got greedy and attacked me, drawing the nearby zombies.
00:22:41And that incident took a heavy toll.
00:22:43Now only about ten people were alive, all crammed inside the bunker.
00:22:46Zombie roars kept echoing outside.
00:22:47Ellie actually looked pleased with that.
00:22:49But before she could celebrate, Mrs. Collins spoke up.
00:22:51The zombies would break in sooner or later.
00:22:53And they'd all become their food.
00:22:54This whole RV raid was Ellie's idea, so she had to take the blame.
00:22:57She should lure the horde away.
00:22:59The rest of them agreed with this.
00:23:00Ellie sank into total despair.
00:23:02She begged the chief while buttering up Travis non-stop,
00:23:04vowing that if he'd go and draw the zombies off, she'd serve him for life.
00:23:07But it was a death sentence.
00:23:09He hung his head in silence.
00:23:10Ellie still wouldn't budge, so several villagers yanked her hard,
00:23:13dragged her to the doorway, poised to shove her out.
00:23:15Meanwhile, because I dodged the villagers' ambush, another reward dropped.
00:23:19I picked an enhancement crop this time.
00:23:21A giant pumpkin seed popped up on the panel.
00:23:22The elf explained that this kind of pumpkin was made to counter big zombies.
00:23:26The only downside was its size.
00:23:28The farm plot could only grow one at a time.
00:23:29But it grew so fast that it was ready to harvest in just an hour.
00:23:33While I was buzzing over unlocking another crop,
00:23:35I never imagined I was about to face the biggest crisis since the apocalypse.
00:23:38Because of our rebirth, Blue Planet's order was shattered.
00:23:40I scored the farm system.
00:23:42And by dumb luck, Ellie got one too.
00:23:44Inside the bunker, the chief hurled a homemade landmine.
00:23:46The huge blast drew in nearby zombies.
00:23:48The villagers seized the moment, flung the door open, and shoved Ellie out.
00:23:51She screamed for help and bolted in panic.
00:23:53But freaking out, she face-planted at once.
00:23:55A zombie swung an arm, clawing for her throat.
00:23:58Ellie shut her eyes in despair, cursing me and the villagers.
00:24:01She swore if she lived, we'd all pay.
00:24:03Right then, creepy green smoke curled around her.
00:24:05A small black imp popped up beside her.
00:24:07It told Ellie that her raging hatred had triggered the zombie commander system.
00:24:11Now she could boss the dead and even evolve them.
00:24:13The imp had a single request.
00:24:14She needed to rise above everyone and ruled the world.
00:24:16Ellie opened her eyes again, only to see the zombies kneeling before her.
00:24:20Her panel asked,
00:24:22Sacrifice 50 nearby zombies to summon the Lord-class Crimson Butcher?
00:24:25She hit confirm, and a hulking zombie with a giant axe materialized in the mine.
00:24:29The imp said, given her current power, she could control that single butcher or 50 regular zombies.
00:24:33Ellie ordered the butcher to smash the bunker.
00:24:35One swing, and the roof flew off.
00:24:38Everyone inside stared that monster in horror.
00:24:40Stone-faced, Ellie told the butcher to grab Mrs. Collins and crush her.
00:24:43The rest dropped to their knees, begging for mercy.
00:24:47Seeing them submit, Ellie drove the butcher and villagers to encircle my RV again.
00:24:51I gaped at the monster, cold sweat pouring down.
00:24:53My elf explained the butcher was way strong in attack and defense than the red-eyed giants.
00:24:57We had to end them fast.
00:24:58I loaded a blazed pepper, but after it blew, the butcher was untouched.
00:25:02It casually brushed off the flames, lifted the axe, and hacked at my special crop farm.
00:25:05The impact made the whole RV rock.
00:25:08Then the system warned that farm durability was down to 80%.
00:25:10If it broke, I'd never grow specials again.
00:25:13I tried to floor it, but both ends were blocked by the villagers' tractors.
00:25:17Just as panic peaked, the system chimed again.
00:25:20Giant pumpkin is now ripe.
00:25:21Harvest it with one tap?
00:25:22With her system, Ellie ordered the butcher to trash my RV.
00:25:25I was freaking out.
00:25:26Then, my new crop, the giant pumpkin, finally ripened.
00:25:29I slammed the one-tap harvest button, and my system panel showed a live feed outside the RV.
00:25:33I tapped on where the butcher stood, and another prompt popped up.
00:25:36Confirm drop point for giant pumpkin?
00:25:37I smashed yes, and up in the sky, a massive pumpkin materialized and crashed straight down
00:25:41on the butcher.
00:25:42The big guy got pancaked, pinned flat to the ground.
00:25:44The villagers saw this and scattered in a panic.
00:25:47Even Ellie froze in shock.
00:25:49The imp told her that I had a system too, and I'd be her biggest roadblock.
00:25:52If she wanted to rule the world, she had to take me out first.
00:25:54The crimson butcher thrashed on the ground, unable to rise at all.
00:25:57He went still 30 seconds later.
00:25:59Then both the pumpkin and the butcher vanished without a trace.
00:26:01Finally, I made another narrow escape.
00:26:03Meanwhile, I spotted Ellie bolting.
00:26:04I swung the turret and lined her up, but still couldn't pull the trigger.
00:26:08Yes, she'd tried to ruin me, but I didn't want to kill her.
00:26:11After some thought, I decided to plant a spy on her to watch her movements.
00:26:14If any accidents occurred, I could respond immediately.
00:26:16Then, I planted the giant pumpkin again.
00:26:18But the elf reminded me, according to the level of my farm now, I could only plant at
00:26:22most three giant pumpkins.
00:26:23Hearing this, I felt a sense of unease.
00:26:24I had to make sure that my farm's growth speed was faster than Ellie's, or I'd face danger
00:26:28again.
00:26:28Just then, my favorite sound rang out again.
00:26:30My reward had been granted, and it was different from before.
00:26:32First day back in the village, my RV's system had leveled up big time.
00:26:36Because I kept fixing trouble, the RV system showered me with double rewards.
00:26:39Basically, a total upgrade.
00:26:40First up, my pocket farm.
00:26:42The crops and livestock grew even faster now, and the land was way bigger.
00:26:45At the seed shop, I picked an attack crop and unlocked the frost eggplant.
00:26:49My special crop farm not only expanded, it also got auto repair.
00:26:52As long as it was not blown to bits, it would heal itself.
00:26:55Then, I was gearing up for a new work day, and the elf dropped more good news.
00:26:59Because Ellie had a system now, it would open a special partner system.
00:27:02Then, it let me pick a farm partner.
00:27:04I could choose from scout, attack, and homestead types.
00:27:06What I needed most was solid intel, so I chose the scout.
00:27:10With that, a weird-looking golden bird popped up in the farm.
00:27:13Its name was pretty odd.
00:27:14Chirpney.
00:27:15The elf explained its skills.
00:27:16I could picture a place in my mind, and it'd fly there.
00:27:19Its vision would sync with my RV system.
00:27:21Plus, it could go invisible, since it was not from Blue Planet.
00:27:24Vacid rain didn't phase it.
00:27:25I was instantly hooked, so I sent it to the abandoned mine to dig up dirt on Ellie.
00:27:29When Chirpney's feed came back, I sensed things were already spiraling way past my expectations.
00:27:33Threat was far from over.
00:27:35Through Chirpney, I learned Ellie's moves were crueler than I thought.
00:27:38She had been ordering the zombies to raid nearby villages.
00:27:40If anyone refused to bow, she'd unleash the undead on them.
00:27:43In just five days, three nearby villages had already knelt to her.
00:27:46She forced every household to hand over their supplies to be redistributed.
00:27:49She even formed a personal guard to keep her own hide safe.
00:27:51Travis, once her most loyal lapdog, botched the ambush on me, so she had frozen him out.
00:27:55Now, he could only survive on rot-streaked veggie scraps.
00:27:58I realized this was the perfect opening.
00:27:59I could buy Travis off as my mole.
00:28:01I sent Chirpney to see him.
00:28:03His eyes lit up like Christmas when he spotted the food Chirpney brought.
00:28:06I lured him to a quiet spot and spoke to him through Chirpney.
00:28:09He freaked at first, but calmed down fast.
00:28:11In the apocalypse, nothing really shocked you anymore.
00:28:13We struck a deal.
00:28:14If he feeds me daily updates on Ellie's whereabouts, I'd pay him a tub of ramen.
00:28:17Top shelf intel could earn him roast chicken and other crazy rare treats.
00:28:20To prove I was serious, I also promised to meet him here tomorrow with milk and cookies ready.
00:28:24He said yes before I even finished.
00:28:26Back in the RV with my spy problem solved, I was in a good mood.
00:28:28Time to spoil myself.
00:28:29I noticed the fruit I'd planted was ripe, so I whipped up a fruit salad.
00:28:33Sweet apple chunks, soft, juicy peach bits, and cherry tomatoes that bursted with juice.
00:28:37All that aroma swirling around.
00:28:38No one could dream of that in the apocalypse.
00:28:40But the real kicker was the crucial intel Travis brought me the next day.
00:28:43First day as my spy, Travis dumped a ton of intel on me.
00:28:46I piloted Chirpney to the rendezvous point.
00:28:48Travis had been waiting for a long time.
00:28:49He saw the cookies I sent and nearly lost it.
00:28:51He lunged forward, tore the bag open, and started eating.
00:28:54After he finished eating, he explained Ellie's powers.
00:28:56For every person who bowed to her, she gained control of five more zombies.
00:28:59Right now her zombie count was well into the hundreds.
00:29:01Two of them were crimson butchers.
00:29:03But Ellie worried others might awaken systems too.
00:29:05So she'd started building her empire in the countryside.
00:29:07Then she'd stormed the cities.
00:29:08I threw out another question.
00:29:10Why did you and Rusty ambush me ahead of time?
00:29:11Suddenly Travis's eyes flicked away.
00:29:13He finally muttered.
00:29:14He said Ellie planted a tracker in my RV earlier.
00:29:16So she knew my location.
00:29:17Hearing that, my hair stood on end.
00:29:18She had all of this planned all along.
00:29:20I had to erase this threat fast.
00:29:22I also clocked Travis acting weird and filed it away.
00:29:24But for now, I could only use him.
00:29:25So I told him tonight I'd bring roast chicken and he'd better be there.
00:29:28Travis nodded like crazy.
00:29:29After that, I jumped into my pocket farm and grabbed two chickens.
00:29:32After a bit of work, two sizzling roast chickens were ready to eat.
00:29:34I dug in while plotting my next move.
00:29:36I tallied the local population.
00:29:37If Ellie really swept the whole area, her zombie army could easily top 1,000.
00:29:41Letting her keep growing would be too dangerous for me.
00:29:43Problem was, I didn't have any killer plan.
00:29:45And now Ellie was more cautious than before.
00:29:47She knew that I got a system too, so she wouldn't show herself so easily.
00:29:50Instead, she sent her guards and zombies to subdue villages.
00:29:53While I was thinking, the system suddenly pinged me.
00:29:55My frost eggplant had ripened.
00:29:56My new special crop ripened.
00:29:58But I wasn't as pumped as I expected.
00:29:59Because its effect totally baffled me.
00:30:01The frost eggplant could freeze any flame.
00:30:02But in this acid rain apocalypse, fires would die the second they spark.
00:30:06If it had any use at all, it's probably the cooling.
00:30:08If I placed food next to it, the food wouldn't spoil.
00:30:10It was a walking fridge.
00:30:12I couldn't help feeling let down.
00:30:13So I sent Chirpney to keep tabs on Ellie.
00:30:15As usual, she dispatched her guards to raid villages.
00:30:18And the rest were building shacks in the mine.
00:30:20Ellie handed out supplies and rooms based on their contributions.
00:30:23Throwaways like Travis only got a few rotten cabbage leaves and slept in some hand-dug pit there.
00:30:28Her zombie empire was taking shape.
00:30:30I realized I needed intel fast and a plan to crush her.
00:30:33So I ordered Chirpney to drop Travis a roast chicken.
00:30:35And Travis teared up on the spot.
00:30:37He dropped to his knees, cradling it with both hands.
00:30:39Then dug right in.
00:30:40In under ten minutes, he polished it off.
00:30:43Bones and all.
00:30:44Wiping the grease off, he filled me in on Ellie's moves.
00:30:46He said pretty much every village was under her thumb.
00:30:49She could handle four crimson butchers at once.
00:30:51And in seven days, she would throw everything she had at me.
00:30:53She'd also put out a top-tier bounty.
00:30:55Dead or alive, whoever took me down could score ten years of supplies and become her number two.
00:30:59Hearing this, I knew I'd have to speed up construction on the farm.
00:31:02My next face-off with Ellie was approaching.
00:31:04I thought I had all the dirt on Ellie.
00:31:06But I had no idea this was a trap she had set up long ago.
00:31:08While I was preparing for our showdown, Ellie slipped in and surrounded me at night.
00:31:12Turned out Travis was actually in cahoots with her and it was all just a show.
00:31:15Every intel he fed me was half true.
00:31:17He messed up the date on purpose, hoping I'd drop my guard.
00:31:19Luckily, I had Chirpney watching them.
00:31:21I knew it the moment they moved.
00:31:23But what floored me was this raid was just Travis and a swarm of zombies.
00:31:26Ellie never appeared.
00:31:27And the zombies were way more than Travis claimed.
00:31:29There were eight crimson butchers and at least 100 regular zombies.
00:31:32They boxed my RV in tight.
00:31:34One crimson butcher charged first, swinging its axe at my RV.
00:31:37I didn't think twice and dropped a giant pumpkin to pin the monster down.
00:31:40I had upgraded the special crop farm and my stash of giant pumpkins had jumped to 10.
00:31:43Meanwhile, my turrets kept spitting blazed peppers.
00:31:46The pitch black night burst into flames.
00:31:48After a tough fight, my ammo was almost bone dry and Ellie's zombie army was nearly toast.
00:31:52What puzzled me though was that even though I'd won, Travis looked chill as hell.
00:31:57Kinda pumped even, like he'd called every move.
00:31:59Just as I wondered what they'd try next, the elf suddenly shouted, panicked,
00:32:03that something way scarier was closing in on us.
00:32:06I never imagined hundreds of zombies and eight crimson butchers were only a feint.
00:32:10The real strike was just showing up.
00:32:11I used my special crops to break Ellie's zombie attack.
00:32:14But I didn't expect they were just cannon fodder Ellie had planted.
00:32:17Then I saw two zombies approaching, bodies on fire.
00:32:20Acid rain hit their skin and just sizzled away.
00:32:22One of them puffed flame in its mouth and hurled a fireball straight at my RV.
00:32:26Flames erupted all around my car.
00:32:28And the fire felt even nastier than the rain.
00:32:29The downpour didn't smother it.
00:32:31It only burned hotter.
00:32:32I figured these had to be Ellie's newest summons, so I backed up to watch first.
00:32:36I gunned the RV through the blaze, but I couldn't outrun their flaming spit even at top speed.
00:32:41Both zombies spewed fire at my RV.
00:32:43Everything they touched turned to ash.
00:32:45Meanwhile, the elf said the RV's temperature was skyrocketing.
00:32:47If those two freaks kept hosing us, the RV would turn into a giant steamer and I'd get roasted alive.
00:32:52I decided not to run but to fight back.
00:32:55I summoned a pumpkin and slammed it onto a flame zombie.
00:32:57But this round wasn't that smooth.
00:32:59The fire roared higher, slow cooking the pumpkin on its body.
00:33:03In a flash, both pumpkins vanished and the zombies rose again.
00:33:06I was freaking out and fired a blazed pepper, but they didn't even dodge.
00:33:09They snatched it and swallowed.
00:33:11Every attack I had just fell flat.
00:33:13Right when despair hit, I remembered one last trump card.
00:33:15I called out my final crop, ready for a deathmatch.
00:33:18The special crops thought to be useless had actually saved me at crunch time.
00:33:22Up against the flaming zombies, every attack I tried was worthless.
00:33:25Out of options, I summoned a frost eggplant and dropped it right in front of them.
00:33:28They barely flinched at the sudden veggie.
00:33:31Both spat fire at the eggplant, but it didn't even scratch it.
00:33:35One of them lifted a foot to stomp it.
00:33:37The second its foot came down, the eggplant exploded.
00:33:40A blinding white mist burst out.
00:33:42Even the acid rain froze solid.
00:33:43That zombie turned into an ice statue.
00:33:45The other one sensed trouble and torched its frozen buddy, trying to thaw it out.
00:33:49I just kept lobbing more eggplants.
00:33:50In seconds, the whole area was coated in frost.
00:33:52The zombies started to panic and sprayed flames everywhere, nearly roasting Travis a few times.
00:33:56Travis finally realized things were bad and ran.
00:33:59More eggplants popped, and both flaming zombies got frozen solid.
00:34:02Then I lobbed an exploding pepper.
00:34:04This time, the two zombies and they shattered into snowflakes, vanishing into thin air.
00:34:08I'd beaten Ellie yet again, but it hit me how scary she really was.
00:34:10She was cautious and well prepared.
00:34:12If Travis hadn't slipped up, I wouldn't have sent Chirpney.
00:34:15I'd probably be dead by morning.
00:34:16Meanwhile, Ellie's zombies told her the mission tanked.
00:34:19But she didn't seem as pissed as I expected.
00:34:21She grinned weirdly, gave a casual wave, and ordered her guards to switch to plan B.
00:34:24A way bigger scheme had just begun.
00:34:26Thanks to the frost eggplant, I dodged a bullet.
00:34:28But that scare showed me my weak spots.
00:34:30If I'd figured out its use sooner, I wouldn't be in this mess.
00:34:33I had to learn more about special crops.
00:34:35The elf told me this reward was extra special.
00:34:37The system had delivered it.
00:34:38It was the steel potato.
00:34:40It could block a full ton of damage and stalls attack.
00:34:42If I ringed the RV with these potatoes, it would be a rock-solid wall.
00:34:46They couldn't break through it.
00:34:48Hearing that, I breathed out in relief.
00:34:49Steel potatoes are exactly what I wanted.
00:34:51Perfect for buying me time.
00:34:52With them, I could skip any head-on clash with Ellie.
00:34:54And I could be more prepared.
00:34:56To make up for not letting me choose the crop this round, the system threw in some bonus seeds.
00:35:00My farm multiplied in size again.
00:35:02Now I could grow different special crops at once.
00:35:04Good news kept coming, and I was pumped.
00:35:06I grabbed a piglet from my pocket farm and roasted it.
00:35:08Skin crackly and flaky.
00:35:09Meat tender and juicy.
00:35:11Since the world went to hell, this was my first real feast.
00:35:13After that, I went back to tending my fields.
00:35:15I pulled up every old crop and replanted fresh ones.
00:35:17Then in the fruit zone, I set up grape trellises and a strawberry tent, ready for more fruit.
00:35:20When I finally crawled into the RV, it was past midnight.
00:35:23Through Chirpney, I spotted Ellie bossing her crew to keep blasting the mine, digging even deeper.
00:35:27I had zero clue what she was plotting.
00:35:28But a sudden broadcast finally spilled the earth-shaking secret behind Ellie.
00:35:32The rain kept pouring, and the city was overrun by zombies.
00:35:34More and more people were fleeing to the countryside.
00:35:36From the nearest city, H-City, over 1,000 survivors were heading for our village.
00:35:40Ellie dug out the mine to cram more people inside.
00:35:42If she subdued this crowd, her zombie army would number in tens of thousands.
00:35:45I had to beat her to it and wreck her plan.
00:35:47So I drove to the village's only road in, ready to hold the line.
00:35:50No way I was letting zombies or her guards through.
00:35:52Sure enough, Ellie already had a pack of zombies waiting.
00:35:55I spun up the turrets, lobbing the peppers, blasting the nearby zombies.
00:35:58But her horde was way bigger than I thought.
00:36:01No matter how many I dropped, there was a stream of rotters rushing in from afar.
00:36:04Our showdown turned into a battle of attrition.
00:36:06After half a day, I ran out of ammo and food.
00:36:08Ellie's army, though, still packed a punch.
00:36:09Quitting wasn't an option.
00:36:10Because if she was this strong now, if she really enslaved those survivors,
00:36:14my defeat was honestly just a matter of time.
00:36:15I must think of a way to delay her.
00:36:17I launched many frost eggplants on the path they must take.
00:36:19The zombie horde was frozen solid.
00:36:21But because I had no peppers, I couldn't shatter the ice.
00:36:23All I could do was block their movements.
00:36:25And the worst thing was the acid rain could even erode the ice.
00:36:28In less than 15 minutes, the zombies thawed out one by one.
00:36:30A large wave of zombies was about to break through.
00:36:32Right then, my steel potatoes had all matured.
00:36:34I had a brainwave and found a solution.
00:36:36As the steel potatoes fell, the battle changed again.
00:36:39I gained the upper hand in the defense.
00:36:41I used the steel potatoes to seal the crossroads.
00:36:43Ellie's dream of a zombie empire went up in smoke again.
00:36:45The zombies were helpless in front of my potatoes.
00:36:47No matter how hard they hit it, the potatoes didn't budge.
00:36:50Even the savage crimson butchers couldn't punch through their shell.
00:36:53I had completely cut our village off from the outside.
00:36:55Just when I finally exhaled, I noticed the horde had stopped attacking.
00:36:58They started chewing on the potatoes.
00:37:00The elf explained that while the potatoes could block damage,
00:37:02they were still crops and could be eaten given time.
00:37:05To munch through the whole barricade would take them ages.
00:37:07Plenty of time for me to power up.
00:37:09Our crossroads battle turned into a race against the clock.
00:37:12Either I'd grow up a mass kill crop first,
00:37:15or Ellie would rebuild her zombie army faster.
00:37:18With that in mind, I bugged the elf to cough up new reward.
00:37:20But this time, no reward thing appeared at all.
00:37:23Looked like even the system thought I didn't win this battle.
00:37:25Perhaps the fight was not over.
00:37:27Then the elf added,
00:37:28There were still some changes.
00:37:29First, my special crop farm could now be tended manually.
00:37:31A couple taps on the panel, and I could water and fertilize.
00:37:34That would speed growth a ton.
00:37:36Plus, my pocket farm got a one-tap harvest button.
00:37:38No more spending hours picking stuff myself.
00:37:40To refill my ammo fast, except for food and a nap,
00:37:43I was glued to the fields.
00:37:44During that stretch, I even bred a brand new crop.
00:37:47My system upgrades were finally paying off.
00:37:49After countless tries, I managed to grow a brand new, insanely strong plant.
00:37:53I'd totally forgotten about the fusion module.
00:37:55Other than the blazed pepper, I hadn't tested the other specials.
00:37:58I juiced the giant pumpkins into a mega pumpkin, double the firepower.
00:38:01The frost eggplants leveled up to glacial eggplants.
00:38:03Their freeze zone was bigger, and it could tweak the weather,
00:38:05turning acid rain into plain snow.
00:38:07But the effect only lasted a minute.
00:38:09Energy corn became super corn, turbocharging my chickens and fish.
00:38:13Yet all that still didn't boost my combat stats much.
00:38:15I was whining about it when the elf popped up, scaring the hell out of me.
00:38:19My hand slipped onto the super corn, and I set it next to the mega pumpkin.
00:38:22Then the craziest thing happened.
00:38:24The two plants fused.
00:38:25I accidentally spawned a pump corn tank.
00:38:27The elf's jaw hit the floor too.
00:38:29They never thought I'd unlock hybrid tech by pure accident.
00:38:31It hollered at me to test it.
00:38:33So I loaded the tank with super corn and fired it.
00:38:36At my target point, a colossal corn cob dropped and blew up like a nuke.
00:38:40One shot, and all zombies vanished.
00:38:42With the pump corn tank, I cleaned up the crossroads in seconds.
00:38:46I almost pushed on to blow up Ellie's mind, but there were many innocent villagers there.
00:38:49So I decided to wait for the right time to eliminate her.
00:38:52Ellie heard the news and planned to fight back.
00:38:54She'd brewed up a brand new zombie, and of course, the kind I couldn't handle.
00:38:58I thought wiping out the zombies meant I'd won the whole checkpoint battle.
00:39:01But Ellie's power was already way beyond what I'd expected.
00:39:03One day, while I was tending my crops,
00:39:05Chirpney told me that there were massive, unknown creatures in the sky.
00:39:08I rushed to take a look.
00:39:09They were winged zombies.
00:39:10The elf saw them and tagged them as demon zombies.
00:39:13Their attack power was so-so, but they were a lot smarter, and incredibly agile.
00:39:17Great for recon and deadly as solo fighters.
00:39:19It was shocked at how fast Ellie's power had grown.
00:39:21It also warned me to stay on guard against them.
00:39:23I still didn't know what Ellie was after,
00:39:25but my gut screamed I had to act fast, or things would get real ugly.
00:39:28So I sent every creature I had to strike first.
00:39:30At the start, my turrets could still clip a few demon zombies,
00:39:33but once I shot some down, the rest wised up and flew higher.
00:39:36They were way out of my range.
00:39:37I tried to fire glacial eggplants to freeze them,
00:39:40but the eggplants couldn't reach that high either.
00:39:41I could only try to synthesize new crops.
00:39:43But after a few attempts, nothing happened.
00:39:45All I could do was watch those demon zombies fly away from me.
00:39:47Just then, I remembered I hadn't claimed the reward from the last battle.
00:39:50I pulled up the system panel,
00:39:52and sure enough, my seed shop had refreshed its stock.
00:39:54I prayed for a game changer.
00:39:55I clicked select and pulled a pea shooter.
00:39:58I planted it on the spot,
00:39:59while sending Chirpney to keep tailing those demon zombies.
00:40:01And I finally pieced together Ellie's.
00:40:03Ellie had been raiding supplies using her demon zombies,
00:40:05trying to build a zombie empire.
00:40:07But I planned to ruin her plans.
00:40:09While my pea shooters were still sprouting,
00:40:10I watched those demon zombies fly over my head every day, feeling anxious.
00:40:14What if my crops couldn't keep up with Ellie's expansion and her zombie's evolution?
00:40:17But today, the chime for my special crop finally rang.
00:40:19I placed the pea shooters onto the steel potatoes.
00:40:21As waves of golden light flashed,
00:40:23something popped up on the steel potatoes.
00:40:24They auto-locked onto the demon zombies in the sky and spat out golden peas.
00:40:28The peas flew so fast that the zombies couldn't react.
00:40:31In a blink, they mowed down the zombies.
00:40:33More zombies kept raining from the sky, along with all sorts of loot.
00:40:35I sent Chirpney out to snag guns, ammo, anything useful for a fight,
00:40:38because I could let Ellie grab basic survival stuff,
00:40:40but I couldn't let her have anything that would ramp up her firepower.
00:40:43After a full day of fighting, there were basically no demon zombies left.
00:40:46Unlike the previous one-shot special crops,
00:40:48these pea shooters stuck around.
00:40:50I tried to synthesize the extra pea shooters together,
00:40:52and they evolved into gatling peas.
00:40:54Now they could spit three peas at once,
00:40:56hit way harder, and even pierce targets.
00:40:57When Ellie heard I'd awakened another plant and wiped out her demon army,
00:41:01she went ballistic.
00:41:02She vented all that rage on the villagers.
00:41:03She cut their dinner rations and deprived them of rest.
00:41:06Their resentment hit the roof,
00:41:07but Ellie and her zombies kept them from fighting back.
00:41:09Just then, inside my RV, I got another ping from the elf.
00:41:12Hidden quest unlocked.
00:41:12Host, do you want to accept?
00:41:14In the apocalypse, I just got my first hidden quest.
00:41:16My farm system finally reached its final upgrade.
00:41:18Going by the elf's hint, I opened the hidden quest.
00:41:20It said I had to kill 1,000 zombies.
00:41:22After a few big battles with Ellie, my count was already at 780.
00:41:25Later, I kept frying zombies with special crops while taking care of the farm.
00:41:29After all this time in the wasteland,
00:41:31my pocket farm had grown into a giant plantation.
00:41:33I had planted almost every common veggie and fruit.
00:41:35With the sunlight and fertile soil, no more tending was needed.
00:41:39With a one-click harvest, life became effortless.
00:41:42Meanwhile, Ellie was not that lucky.
00:41:43Her demon zombies got wiped out by my steel potatoes above ground.
00:41:46I cut all her links to the outside.
00:41:48She had no way to raid supplies now.
00:41:49All she could do was send her villagers out to scavenge some junk.
00:41:52With resources drying up, the digging in that mine slowed down.
00:41:56Lots of villagers were so hungry, they couldn't even walk.
00:41:58Travis kept roughing them up too, almost sparking riots more than once.
00:42:01Ellie's empire was cracking.
00:42:03Like always, I drove the RV to clear the stray zombies nearby.
00:42:06When the last one hit the dirt, my mission progress finally reached 100%.
00:42:10I popped open the seed shop to see if any new seeds had dropped.
00:42:13But what appeared instead was a brand new system panel.
00:42:15Way more polished than before with a ton more options.
00:42:18My survival plan just got rock solid.
00:42:20Since I cleared a hidden quest, I unlocked the shop's coin feature.
00:42:23Now I could choose and buy any kind of seed.
00:42:25What really pumped me up was that it could open new spaces.
00:42:28The elf said my seed shop just leveled up into a super shop.
00:42:31From now on, I could pull whatever I needed from the special crop list.
00:42:34Like the peashooter, the spiky cactus, the carrot cannon, etc.
00:42:37Each seed cost only one coin.
00:42:39So I could tailor my loadout to the battle at hand.
00:42:42Plus, seeds bought with coins could grow faster if I spent more coins.
00:42:45With enough coins, I'd never run out of ammo again.
00:42:48I checked all the special crops and their perks, but there was a plant still locked.
00:42:53It was a question mark, and each seed cost 100 coins.
00:42:56I asked the elf what it was, but it didn't know either.
00:42:59Still, I had a feeling it was the game changer I needed.
00:43:02Then, I checked out the other feature, space expansion.
00:43:05It could unlock special zones right inside my farm.
00:43:07Suddenly, I spotted a hot spring option, priced at 1,000 coins.
00:43:10Since the apocalypse, all I'd managed were quick wipe downs.
00:43:12Never a real hot soap.
00:43:13That sounded heavenly.
00:43:14I eyed my reward of 10,000 coins and clicked it.
00:43:16I bought the hot spring zone, and an open-air spring appeared at the edge of my farm.
00:43:20I slid into the water.
00:43:21It came right up to my chest, and every clenched muscle started to relax.
00:43:24The exhaustion melted away.
00:43:25I marveled at how badass this coin feature was.
00:43:28At the same time, I set myself a tiny goal.
00:43:30I decided to live like an emperor in the apocalypse.
00:43:31The corrosive acid rain kept pouring outside my RV, yet I was soaking in a hot spring, munching on watermelon.
00:43:36I asked the elf how to rake in more coins.
00:43:39I wanted to upgrade my farm system.
00:43:40The elf said every zombie I killed would earn me 10 coins.
00:43:43Different breeds paid out different amounts.
00:43:45Take the crimson butcher.
00:43:46One kill could score 500 coins.
00:43:48A flame zombie could drop a wild 2,000.
00:43:49Hearing that, my blood started pumping.
00:43:51The zombies I used to dodge were now walking ATMs.
00:43:54With my mutant props in my RV, they couldn't even touch me.
00:43:58After the soak, I tossed together a quick meal, fried potatoes, eggplants, and tomatoes.
00:44:02Looking at the steaming plates on the table, I realized post-apocalypse life could actually be sweet.
00:44:07While I was eating, I mapped out my next moves.
00:44:08My stash could keep me alive for over 100 years,
00:44:10so my priority should be stacking as many coins as possible.
00:44:13That meant killing hordes of zombies.
00:44:15Lately, Ellie had been busy stockpiling supplies, so she hadn't sent her zombies to bug me.
00:44:19My coin haul was at a crawl.
00:44:21If I wanted a proper zombie bloodbath, I'd have to roll beyond the villages.
00:44:24I started to hesitate.
00:44:26Just then, Chirpney snapped me out of it.
00:44:28It told me about Ellie's moves.
00:44:29Turned out my days of slacking and not keeping track of her had let her empire rise from the ashes,
00:44:33and it was way bigger now.
00:44:34Scarier still, the sky and ground were totally zombie-free.
00:44:37Something huge was brewing again.
00:44:38Ellie's cunning was beyond my expectations.
00:44:40With a new batch of zombies, she started rebuilding her empire.
00:44:43And I didn't know a thing.
00:44:44When I sent Chirpney to Ellie's abandoned mine,
00:44:47I unexpectedly discovered she had a bunch of supplies.
00:44:48And she'd even built a private palace just for herself.
00:44:51It was imposing and utterly luxurious.
00:44:53I couldn't figure out how she'd managed to collect so many supplies in the apocalypse.
00:44:56So I camped out by the mouth of her mine, waiting for a slip-up.
00:44:59But days of surveillance turned up nothing.
00:45:01I just watched Ellie's power swell.
00:45:03Then I noticed Travis and the chief disappeared for a stretch each day.
00:45:06That shady routine made me suspicious.
00:45:07I decided to tail them.
00:45:08At last, one day, I caught Travis sneaking around.
00:45:10He was nervous, his eyes darting everywhere.
00:45:13I had Chirpney cloak and follow.
00:45:14He slipped out of the mine and walked into a house I'd never seen before,
00:45:17then shut the door.
00:45:18Later, he came out, lugging a huge sack of loot.
00:45:21Chirpney moved in and saw the place empty,
00:45:23except for a deep, bottomless pit.
00:45:25After a bit, a zombie in a miner's helmet crawled out with a big bag.
00:45:28Chirpney flew down and found an underground tunnel that led straight to the city ruins.
00:45:32So that was how Ellie had been bringing in supplies.
00:45:34With a cover that tight, nobody would ever notice.
00:45:37Now that I knew the truth, I popped open my super shop and started picking seeds.
00:45:41This time, I would crush Ellie so she could never bounce back.
00:45:44Thanks to Chirpney, I tracked down Ellie's secret tunnel.
00:45:47To destroy the tunnel, I bought some spud mines from the super shop.
00:45:50They would explode the minute you stepped on it.
00:45:52The blast wasn't crazy huge, so no need to worry about the ground caving in.
00:45:55To save time, I hit the rapid grow feature.
00:45:57At night, I planted 100 spud mines throughout the tunnel.
00:46:00The next day, once the zombies got in, they'd be wiped out.
00:46:03At dawn, Ellie led her zombies to that farmer's house to grab supplies.
00:46:07But as one zombie after another jumped into the black pit, the passage echoed with boom after boom.
00:46:12I watched my coin counter climb like crazy.
00:46:14I didn't know each tunnel zombie was worth 50 coins.
00:46:17I started wondering how much I'd make today.
00:46:19By noon, Travis showed up at that house to snatch the goods.
00:46:22He was stunned to see the tunnel completely destroyed.
00:46:24He panicked on the spot, bolting away screaming,
00:46:26God no, he totally freaked out, and I couldn't stop laughing.
00:46:28Inside the mine, Ellie glared at Travis in front of her.
00:46:30Her eyes and stance screamed pure fury.
00:46:32When she heard her tunnel had been blown up by me, she ground her teeth in fury.
00:46:35She ordered everyone to drop everything and count every last supply.
00:46:39Then she started plotting her next move.
00:46:40I figured that was the end of it.
00:46:42While I was still thrilled about blowing up Ellie's tunnel,
00:46:44I didn't realize I had completely enraged her.
00:46:46Now she was coming at me, and her brutality was about to shock me again.
00:46:50I blew up Ellie's secret tunnel, and Ellie unleashed her merciless revenge.
00:46:53She turned into a monster and backed me into a corner.
00:46:56Before dawn, Chirpney pinged me a warning.
00:46:58A huge horde of zombies was marching toward the RV.
00:47:00I immediately set up a row of pea shooters.
00:47:02I also hid frost eggplants and spud mines in the shadows.
00:47:04To my surprise, the zombies this time were all just regular ones.
00:47:07They were toast against my pea shooters.
00:47:09In less than a minute, over half were down.
00:47:11I watched my coin count shoot up like crazy.
00:47:13I was actually thanking Ellie for this sweet gift.
00:47:15I figured Ellie had lost her mind to make such a stupid move,
00:47:18but no, this was just Ellie running a feint to throw me off.
00:47:20The real strike force, led by Travis, was a pack of high-level zombies.
00:47:23Flaming zombies, crimson butchers, and giant red-eyed brutes
00:47:26looked like she'd dumped her entire army into this attack.
00:47:29I didn't hesitate to summon some giant pumpkins to squash their advance,
00:47:32but the elf popped up and stopped me.
00:47:33It told me to observe the horde.
00:47:35That was when I saw every zombie had a villager in its grip.
00:47:37If I attacked recklessly, those villagers would get hurt.
00:47:40So I decided to use frost eggplants to slow them down.
00:47:43But the elf warned me again that the eggplants would freeze the villagers too.
00:47:46While I hesitated, the zombie army was now less than 100 meters away.
00:47:49In a panic, I summoned my steel potatoes and wrapped the RV in them.
00:47:52But because there were too many zombies,
00:47:54the potatoes were getting chewed up in a matter of seconds.
00:47:57Inside the RV, I was scrambling for a plan.
00:47:58Then a new special crop showed up.
00:48:00The tables had turned again.
00:48:01Ellie used the villagers as shields and launched a full-scale assault.
00:48:04The zombie horde was about to break through my potato wall.
00:48:07At the last second, I happened to spot control-type crops in the super shop.
00:48:10After the elf explained it, I picked the hypno-shroom.
00:48:12It could release a funky scent that made zombies obey me for a bit.
00:48:15I blew half my coins to buy the shrooms and fast-forward their growth.
00:48:18I sprinkled them around the RV, tons of them.
00:48:20The restless horde went quiet in an instant.
00:48:22Travis, barking orders from the back, saw the situation and hurried over.
00:48:25All he found were zombies standing there, totally spaced out.
00:48:28I told every zombie to drop the villagers.
00:48:30The villagers broke loose and bolted like crazy.
00:48:32Once they were gone, I ordered the zombies to beat each other up.
00:48:35The horde exploded into chaos.
00:48:36The crimson butchers were hacking at the red eyes.
00:48:38The flaming zombies kept spraying fire into the crowd.
00:48:41Travis was stunned speechless by this.
00:48:43He had no clue what to do.
00:48:44Right then, two giant zombies locked in a brawl staggered over to him.
00:48:47One of them suddenly threw a heavy punch, and the other toppled over, landing right on top of Travis.
00:48:52The thug who'd bullied me in my past life died in such a ridiculous way, crushed by Ellie's own zombie
00:48:57army.
00:48:57Suddenly, every zombie stopped attacking.
00:48:59Looked like some of them had grown resistant to the shrooms.
00:49:02But the ones that stopped didn't go for my RV.
00:49:04They bolted the other way.
00:49:05Ellie knew she was outmatched and was trying to save whatever was left.
00:49:08I flipped to a fence in a heartbeat and began my zombie hunt.
00:49:12Ellie's attack was shut down by my shrooms.
00:49:14She called back all her zombies, but I wouldn't let her.
00:49:16Plus, I needed more coins.
00:49:18I started hunting the stragglers.
00:49:20First, I tossed frost eggplants right in front of the horde, freezing the ground solid.
00:49:24The lead zombies slid out and face-planted, staying down for good.
00:49:27I seized the moment and planted steel potatoes, cutting off every escape route.
00:49:31I herded the swarm into a corner.
00:49:32Then I wiped them out with blazed peppers and pea shooters.
00:49:35Finally, I dropped giant pumpkins and crushed the last big zombie.
00:49:37After that battle, my coin stash hit 100,000.
00:49:40Meanwhile, Ellie was down to fewer than 10 basic zombies.
00:49:42Our power gap was huge now.
00:49:44Just then, the system chimed.
00:49:45It said I'd unlock the last special crop.
00:49:47I opened the super shop and watched the padlock icon quietly click open.
00:49:50The final crop was the hope flower.
00:49:52The price was nuts.
00:49:53One seed cost 100,000 coins, and its effect list was completely blank.
00:49:57I asked the elf about it, but it was just as clueless.
00:49:59After hesitating, I decided to spend my coins on upgrading my living quarters first, opening up more zones.
00:50:03I bought a kitchen and a bathroom from the super shop.
00:50:06My quality of life took another big leap.
00:50:08Then the system dinged again.
00:50:09Since I'd burned through over 50,000 coins, my pocket farm had officially become automatic.
00:50:13Planting, tending, harvesting could all be done through the system panel.
00:50:17What used to take a whole day now took only in 10 seconds.
00:50:19The best part was, my special crop farm also got a massive upgrade.
00:50:23Ellie's revenge against me had been thwarted.
00:50:25She lost her bootlicker Travis and her zombie army.
00:50:28Meanwhile, my farm leveled up again and I scored a ton of coins.
00:50:30My special crop farm also got a full upgrade.
00:50:32No more limits on space or land.
00:50:33As long as I had enough special seeds, I could plant and stash them forever.
00:50:36I'd never run out of firepower again.
00:50:38But for Ellie, that reckless raid left her badly drained.
00:50:41Tons of villagers bailed.
00:50:42Without the zombies threatening them, the rest started slacking off.
00:50:45Ellie kept cursing me out, her eyes burning with hate and fury.
00:50:48Right then the imp showed up.
00:50:49It brought her some good news.
00:50:50Since I'd unlocked an ultimate crop, the space-time fabric rippled.
00:50:53Ellie also unlocked two ultimate zombies, the hell general and the commander.
00:50:57But given the few villagers she currently controlled, she could only summon one of each.
00:51:00Ellie fired up her power.
00:51:01A green magic circle flared on the ground.
00:51:02A headless general rode in on a ghost steed.
00:51:04On the other side, a cloaked zombie with a staff emerged.
00:51:07The imp broke down what the two beasts could do.
00:51:10The hell general was the fastest, deadliest zombie.
00:51:13It needed only one strike to split my fortress-grade RV.
00:51:16The commander was a high IQ undead who could control lower-level zombies just like Ellie did,
00:51:20and summon endless zombies.
00:51:22With them around, Ellie's world domination dream would accelerate greatly.
00:51:25Staring at her two ultimate zombies, Ellie flashed a murderous grin.
00:51:28She swore she'd gut me herself this time.
00:51:30She issued orders to both zombies.
00:51:32A far bigger scheme was just born.
00:51:34A month after the battle, I'd been living a carefree farm life.
00:51:37I thought this quiet routine would last forever.
00:51:39Then a radio bulletin yanked me back to reality.
00:51:42An announcement came through.
00:51:43The rain had been falling harder.
00:51:44It was faster, devouring stuff even quicker.
00:51:46Regular stainless steel would melt in a day of rain.
00:51:49At this pace, humans had maybe three months left.
00:51:52Hearing that, my anxiety spiked.
00:51:54The elf tried to calm me, saying the RV's special coating could shrug off any acid rain.
00:51:58So right now, I should keep leveling up quietly.
00:52:00But ever since Ellie's last assault, zombies in the village were nearly gone.
00:52:04My income had been stuck under a hundred coins a day.
00:52:06If I wanted more coins, I had to go to a bigger city.
00:52:10But I hated the idea of ditching our village, so I started browsing the super shop for crops.
00:52:14Maybe there was a plant that worked like a portal.
00:52:17Suddenly, a crop called Transdelyan grabbed my attention.
00:52:19It could carry other plants to any spot I chose, like giving my specialty crops a pair of wings.
00:52:24I planted one of those.
00:52:26Three days later, it was fully grown.
00:52:27I strapped a pea shooter under it to see what would happen.
00:52:30Sure enough, the Transdelyan drifted around with the shooter.
00:52:33And in a single day, it netted me five thousand coins.
00:52:35So I decided to plant more of them.
00:52:37They could rake in a hundred thousand coins a day.
00:52:39But what went down next was way beyond anything I'd pictured.
00:52:42I sent Chirpney out every day to stake out the mine, tracking Ellie's every move.
00:52:46But for a whole month, she barely made a sound.
00:52:48I figured she'd finally backed off.
00:52:50Turned out Ellie was secretly hatching something huge.
00:52:52But I didn't have a clue.
00:52:53One day, I launched my Transdelyans as usual.
00:52:55Then I noticed that my coin haul had slowed to a crawl.
00:52:58So I ordered Chirpney to tail the Transdelyans and find out where the leak was.
00:53:02Suddenly, a shadow whipped past Chirpney and swatted my Dandelions down.
00:53:06My pea shooters were smashed into the ground and vanished.
00:53:08I spotted the attacker through Chirpney's eyes.
00:53:10It was Ellie's demon zombie.
00:53:11And to my shock, tons of survivors in the city were locked inside places like gyms,
00:53:15guarded by a kind of zombie I'd never seen.
00:53:17I checked a few more cities.
00:53:19They were all the same.
00:53:20Zombies had overrun everything, and most survivors were locked inside indoor arenas.
00:53:23The zombie watching them could actually communicate,
00:53:26and it kept cranking out mini-zombies to do its bidding.
00:53:29Its intelligence made me gasp.
00:53:31I also noticed the survivors handing all their supplies to the Headless Rider.
00:53:36The Rider would vanish once he grabbed the loot, so fast that you couldn't track him.
00:53:39Only then did it hit me.
00:53:41These zombies were following orders, taking over city after city.
00:53:44At that thought, Ellie's face flashed in my mind.
00:53:46I never imagined this was actually her ultimate trap.
00:53:49My apocalypse was coming.
00:53:50I was holed up in my RV, but my arch-enemy Ellie kept expanding.
00:53:53In just a month, she'd seized several cities.
00:53:55To slow her expansion, I planted steel potatoes to seal every road into the village.
00:53:59I sealed off the whole place up.
00:54:00I figured that would be enough to cut her off from the outside.
00:54:02But then came the shock.
00:54:03The Hell General's power was freaking insane.
00:54:05Facing my steel potatoes, it vanished in a blur, fast as the wind, then lunged back in a howling cyclone.
00:54:10The impact made the ground quake.
00:54:13Soon, one steel potato had a gaping hole in it.
00:54:15My proud line of defense was toast, but I refused to give up.
00:54:18I froze the thing with frost eggplants, but within seconds, the ice cracked.
00:54:22I had to use Inglacial Eggplant and lock it down again.
00:54:24Meanwhile, I unleashed my strongest weapon, Pumpcorn Tank.
00:54:27Just to be safe, I lobbed many Blazing Peppers too.
00:54:29After three brutal minutes of shelling, one Hell General finally dropped.
00:54:33But there were still dozens more.
00:54:34Plus the one that could summon more deadheads.
00:54:37If Ellie got any more time to grow, I'd be totally screwed.
00:54:39I stared at the coins I'd scraped together lately and made a risky call.
00:54:43I blew 1,000,000 coins on the ultimate crop, Hope Flower.
00:54:46The other 1,000,000 would go into building a plant fortress.
00:54:49I armored my RV and turned it into an unbreakable military bunker.
00:54:52Even if Ellie launched a full-scale assault, I'd still have a shot.
00:54:54The final showdown between us started right now.
00:54:56To counter Ellie's ultimate zombies, I turned the space around my RV into an indestructible super plant fortress.
00:55:01Around the RV, I laid out ten layers of steel potatoes topped with Gatling Peas.
00:55:05Behind the Gatling Peas, I lined up Pumpcorn Tank.
00:55:07Along the outer edge, I scattered Spud Mines and Frost Eggplants so I could stall Ellie's attack.
00:55:13Finally, I used Transdaliens to airdrop another batch of Gatling Peas.
00:55:16Besides that, I poured most of my energy into growing the ultimate crop.
00:55:20All my hopes rode on the Hope Flower.
00:55:21But its requirements were insane.
00:55:23I couldn't even use the system to accelerate it.
00:55:25And every bit of care had to be done by hand.
00:55:27Still, it was worth it.
00:55:28My gut told me it'd pull off a miracle.
00:55:30On Ellie's side, she was still expanding like crazy.
00:55:32And based on Chirpney's scouting, Ellie had already taken ten cities.
00:55:36Almost all survivors had bent the knee to her.
00:55:38Her zombie horde was probably over a million.
00:55:40Worst of all, she had 100 of each ultimate zombie type.
00:55:43As for my Hope Flower, it was still five days from harvest.
00:55:45Ellie suddenly noticed the number of zombies she had hadn't risen at all these days.
00:55:49The imp figured her own growth rate had hit the ceiling.
00:55:52If she wanted to break through, she had to take me out and swallow my farm system.
00:55:55That was the only way.
00:55:57Burned twice already, Ellie won't rush in again.
00:55:59She and the imp needed a perfect plan, ready to land a fatal blow on me.
00:56:03The night before our final war, her empire was finally complete.
00:56:06The abandoned mine had been turned into a dazzling palace.
00:56:08With Hell General and the commander, Ellie hunted down many talented people.
00:56:12She sent demon zombies to haul them back to her base.
00:56:14The mine was rebuilt by a team of master architects.
00:56:17What's more, following the ways of ancient emperors,
00:56:19she set up a stack of ministries and officials to run her empire.
00:56:22The conquered villagers were forced to toil.
00:56:24They had to kneel like slaves, awaiting Ellie's inspection.
00:56:27Taking in the scene, Ellie basked in her newfound supremacy.
00:56:31And the last step was to kill me.
00:56:32She drafted a meticulous plan with her ministers, ready to wipe me out.
00:56:36Meanwhile, inside my RV, I waited patiently, praying my flowers would ripen.
00:56:39Seconds crawled by.
00:56:41Then my special crop farm burst into blinding golden light.
00:56:43The hope flowers were finally ripe.
00:56:44One of them slowly gave birth to a tiny blazing sun.
00:56:48I copped it, and a warmth washed through my entire body.
00:56:51I checked its stats.
00:56:52It was able to heal and radiate warmth.
00:56:55The description left me utterly clueless.
00:56:56I asked the elf, and it shook its head.
00:56:59The other flowers dropped fragments too.
00:57:01I scooped them up and put them in my pack.
00:57:03After watching all day, I figured their only job was to spit out fragments.
00:57:06One every four hours.
00:57:08But I still didn't know what they could do.
00:57:10Just as I was about to dig deeper, Ellie marched in with her zombie army,
00:57:12launching the final assault on me.
00:57:14The final war just kicked off.
00:57:15I thought it'd be a pretty even fight, but Ellie steamrolled me with overwhelming force.
00:57:20While I was studying the hope flowers, Chirpney warned me.
00:57:22Three layers of steel potatoes had been trashed.
00:57:24The frontline crops were getting slaughtered.
00:57:26I scanned the area at once.
00:57:28Turned out Ellie had Hell General clearing the path,
00:57:30smashing my potatoes, while the commander kept summoning regular biters to soak up my fire.
00:57:33The rest of the horde tore through my fields while my crops were on cooldown.
00:57:36Ellie's coordination was flawless.
00:57:38They advanced way faster than I thought.
00:57:40I rolled out the pumpkin tanks and fired right into the horde's center.
00:57:43The huge blast vaporized a swath of undead,
00:57:46but it wasn't enough to kill Hell General or the commanders.
00:57:50So I dumped a ton of glacial eggplants, hoping they would slow them down.
00:57:52But Ellie had seen it coming.
00:57:54She'd planted a batch of flaming zombies at the very rear.
00:57:56They'd roast any zombie that froze, melting the ice.
00:57:58Out of options, I played my ace.
00:58:00I called in the trans-de-lions I'd staged in the sky,
00:58:02launching a surprise strike, trying to catch her off guard.
00:58:05At first it worked.
00:58:06I dropped several Hell Generals and commanders.
00:58:08But this time was different.
00:58:09Ellie jumped into the fight herself and countered right away.
00:58:12She unleashed a swarm of demon zombies to tear into my trans-de-lions.
00:58:15Those freaks were too quick.
00:58:16They blasted the hanging crops out of the sky in seconds.
00:58:19My air raid was a total bust.
00:58:20And my ten layers of steel potatoes were down to the last two.
00:58:24If that shield cracked, my RV could not hold up against Hell General's charge.
00:58:27My death countdown had begun.
00:58:29Ellie's ultimate zombies erupted with terrifying power.
00:58:31My frontier crops were totally wiped out.
00:58:32Right now my RV was surrounded by zombies.
00:58:35Ellie yelled at me, telling me to crawl out and beg forgiveness.
00:58:39Then she'd give me a quick death.
00:58:40My breathing inside the RV turned ragged.
00:58:43I didn't kill her before, but my mercy had me cornered.
00:58:47Staring at the special crops, I decided to go all in.
00:58:49I'd rather die fighting than surrender.
00:58:51I summoned every crop I had.
00:58:52Seeing I was still stubborn, Ellie ordered Hell General to slam my RV one last time.
00:58:57As despair hit, the elf told me to toss out a sunpiece.
00:59:00Maybe a miracle would happen.
00:59:01I had nothing to lose anyway.
00:59:02I slotted the sunpieces into the turret, aimed at Hell General, and fired.
00:59:06The pieces erupted in blinding light.
00:59:07The instant Hell General touched it, he vanished on the spot.
00:59:10Watching the piece drop to the ground, one curious commander tapped it with his staff and
00:59:14disappeared too.
00:59:14All the zombies screamed and backed away, forming a wide circle around it.
00:59:18Suddenly, the sunpiece flared even brighter.
00:59:21The zombies squeezed their eyes shut, and a chunk of them blinked out.
00:59:24Ellie turned ghost pale.
00:59:25Perched on Crimson Butcher, she ordered them to retreat.
00:59:27I didn't give her that chance.
00:59:28I kept pumping out sunpieces.
00:59:30The horde plunged into chaos, ignoring her commands.
00:59:32They crashed and trampled each other, scrambling to escape.
00:59:35Ellie gripped Crimson Butcher, terrified she'd fall.
00:59:37Suddenly, a red-eyed giant zombie slammed into the Crimson Butcher.
00:59:40Ellie went down with her mount, smashing onto the ground, and got crushed to death by her own
00:59:44zombie.
00:59:44After I fired off the last sunpiece, the village was swallowed by white light.
00:59:48The zombie army was just gone.
00:59:49Watching my coin count skyrocket, I knew the karmic feud between Ellie and me was finally
00:59:53settled.
00:59:54But as I was celebrating victory, my ultimate mission quietly activated.
00:59:57My ultimate mission quietly activated.
00:59:59With my RV and farm system, I wiped Ellie out for good.
01:00:01What I didn't expect was to unlock the savior quest.
01:00:02After Ellie's zombie empire fell, my system threw up an ultimate hidden mission, and asked
01:00:06if I wanted to accept it.
01:00:07I hit confirm, and a prompt popped up.
01:00:09Savior of the apocalypse quest activated.
01:00:10Please collect the required items, and the apocalypse.
01:00:12The quest told me to gather 100,000 sunpieces, forge an artificial sun, and dispel the toxic
01:00:16rain.
01:00:17So after that, I was eating fruit and soaking in the hot spring, living the slow farm life.
01:00:20Meanwhile, I used Transdalliance to ship special crops worldwide, wipe out zombies, stack more
01:00:25coins, and buy even more hope flowers.
01:00:26About a year later, I'd finally collected every last piece.
01:00:28I turned in the quest, and the once torrential acid rain eased up, then quit altogether.
01:00:32The black clouds peeled away, and sunlight unseen for years bathed the planet at last.
01:00:36Polluted fish ponds cleared right up.
01:00:38After sending Chirpney to scout the area, I slowly stepped out of the RV.
01:00:41The apocalypse was over.
01:00:43The villagers Ellie had enslaved survived on the stash she'd looted before she died,
01:00:46but a few had done too much dirty work for Ellie, so the others drove them from the mine.
01:00:50And the zombies ate them.
01:00:51After the apocalypse, I gave some supplies to the villagers, and they picked me as the
01:00:55new chief.
01:00:55We tried to rebuild the village.
01:00:57In less than half a year, our place was booming again.
01:00:59I fired up the RV again, headed for the beach I'd longed to see, and kicked off a real
01:01:03vacation.
01:01:03But just as I was sunbathing, screams ripped through the crowd.
01:01:06The swimmers were suddenly thrashing toward shore.
01:01:08I looked out to sea.
01:01:09Towering black waves were rearing up.
01:01:11A tsunami was charging at us.
01:01:13I bolted for the driver's seat.
01:01:14Seconds later, the surge crumpled the beach like wet paper.
01:01:17Cars tossed around like driftwood.
01:01:18I tried to outrun the wall of water.
01:01:20Just as it was about to smash into me, the system's voice rang in my head again.
01:01:24Tsunami apocalypse detected.
01:01:25Host, will you take the mission?
01:01:27Stay near to Radio, the house, may they stay fully off, and let get more attention to the
01:01:27again, farken lima来了.
