Mutant Farmer's Farm

Five years later…

A little away from the meteor crash site in a region, a large forest of colorful living trees can be seen.

Trees had roots on the surface and moved from side to side.

Several dozen mutant creature skeletons pierced by the sharp branches can be seen in various trees scattered throughout the forest.

piuu!!! piuuu!!!!! piuuu!!!!!

boooom!!!! boooooom!!!!!

Suddenly, the sounds of lasers being fired and explosions echo through the forest.

Looking closer it was possible to see a group wearing high-tech clothing and weapons. They were fighting some giant insects like spiders and ants.

The weapons in their hands fired powerful lasers that blew up the bodies of the mutated creatures, but it was very difficult to defeat the creatures.

One of them raised a hand and screamed.

"Fireball!!!!" A soccer ball-sized fireball was created in his hand before being fired at one of the giant ants.

booooom!!!

A big explosion happened, but the ant was not defeated.

"CAUTION!!!!!!" One of them yelled at the other.

The big, sharp teeth bit into one of the group members and tore off one of his legs.

"ARG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He screamed painfully and with great agony.

Having a body part ripped off was very painful and agonizing.

But it didn't just happen to him, another member was unlucky and lost half his body. He was dead.

"ARGGGG!!!!!!!!!" Another member screamed in pain and agony.

The body lying on the ground was quickly taken away by the other ants.

The ants descended to the ground when this happened. It looked like they just wanted to catch a victim before hiding in the ground again.

"HELP!!!!!!!!! SOMEONE SAVE ME!!!!!!!" Another shouted.

The spider threw its webs and covered one of the more absent-minded members of the group before disappearing into the forest.

"Fuck!!!" One of them yelled angrily.

"We've already lost more than forty members during this damn expedition. Those greedy people are sending us to our deaths." Another complained when he saw the size of the remaining team.

When the expedition started, the group had fifty members, but they had already lost more than forty team members after almost a month traveling through the forest.

"Stop complaining. They knew the risks when they accepted the mission. Our job is to map this location and discover new types of resources to help the city grow. Our city was built over two years ago and still needs resources. Previous teams failed, but we will make it." Another commented.

The group's clothes completely covered their bodies, it was not possible to tell who was male or female from appearances. The only way to differentiate was by voice.

The group was silent on hearing these words. That was true.

Everyone knows the risks of exploring an unknown area. They were prepared to die on missions or earn fortunes when they returned.

The icy wind blew and brought a light, pleasant aroma.

"huh?? What is this smell??" Someone smelled the air and commented.

The masks covered their faces to avoid breathing poisonous air, but the delicious smell was still felt by them.

"This smell is delicious!!!!!!"

"Is there anyone living in this place??!!"

If there was a smell of food, it showed that there were people around.

"Are we near some lost village?"

…

Many comments echo among group members.

None of them knew what was going on.

"Leader, shall we go to this location? The smell is so delicious I'm getting hungry." That was everyone's thinking.

Such a delicious smell was very attractive to them.

After nearly a month of eating rations or poor quality food, the delicious smell lifted their spirits.

"Let's check it out. But we need to be careful to avoid attracting mutant creatures. This place seems to be quite dangerous." The leader spoke in a solemn tone. He was also curious about the delicious smell.

"Roger!!!!" The group shouted happily.

Their walk was smooth because there were no other creatures around.

Just a giant crater the size of a city.

The group looked down and saw a very large farm in the middle of a flat spot several meters below ground.

The farm had crops, a large pond with fish of varying sizes, a small forest, many fruit trees, and some small wooden buildings like barns and houses. Everything was surrounded by a small, fragile wooden fence.

The most amazing thing was that a small mansion was on the premises with one person barbecuing outdoors.

Near this person, some mutant creatures were sleeping.

A large sign with the following words was written: Mutant Farmer's Farm.

"Is there a farm in this desolate place? How is that possible??!!!" The leader commented in disbelief.

None of the group members could believe what they were seeing.

The scene was unbelievable.

"Leader, I think this place was created by some other group and got here first. According to the old information, this place should have been the meteor craters, but everything is flat with a single gigantic crater. It looks like everything has been cleaned up, but there are still pieces of destroyed buildings and some old stuff"

"Let's talk to that person. He should know more about it." The group saw a person having a barbecue at the entrance to the farm.

…

The closer the group got, the more shocked they were.

The person doing the barbecue was a young man of twenty-two or twenty-three years of appearance. This was unbelievable.

"Who are you? How did you get here?" The leader pointed the laser gun at the young man and asked.

The young man's appearance was as common as any person in a crowd. He was Zhou Lin.

After five years on the spot, he managed to build a large farm for himself.

The result was impressive.

"I'm just a farmer. And you? Who are you?" Zhou Lin was a little surprised by the appearance of these uneducated people. They pointed guns at him at first, but the reaction returned to normal.

During the five years at the site, he saw only a small number of people exploring the surrounding areas to the nearest towns, but few were still alive to tell the story.
