……

Song Yu was born in a wooden house, a two-story building facing the street.

It's a perfectly normal position, so normal it's almost unsettling.

The cabin wasn't large, but it was fully equipped with a bed, table, chairs, cabinets, and other amenities.

She was on the second floor of the cabin, where a simple wooden bed was placed by the window, and two keys were placed on the bedside table next to it.

Through the glass window, you can clearly see the bustling and prosperous scene on both sides of the road, with people coming and going.

This doesn't look like the apocalypse at all; it feels much more prosperous than Song Yu's real village.

Apart from the building looking a bit old, there was almost nothing unusual about it.

The initial impression from this instance is that surviving for thirty days shouldn't be difficult at all.

Judging from the scene on the street, there is no shortage of food, fresh water and other living resources. Song Yu can replenish the resources that he almost used up in the previous instance.

She took the keys and began a preliminary search of the cabin.

The room was completely empty except for some simple furniture, and the layout was also simple and crude.

The first floor has a living room, kitchen, and storage room; the second floor has a bedroom and a bathroom.

While searching the first floor, Song Yu also discovered a basement.

It's inside the storage room.

Was this basement used to hide from predators?
One of the two keys on the bedside table was the key to the basement. Song Yu opened it and took a look.

The basement was very small, probably less than 4 square meters, with a small platform in the middle and something that looked very special on it.

[Hidden Stone - Fragment]

Song Yu picked up the fragment of the Hidden Stone, which was probably no bigger than a grain of rice, and felt a bit conflicted.

It's so small.

It seems that the Hidden Stone is a key item in this dungeon.

Instead of taking the Hidden Stone fragment, she locked the basement door again and went out to explore.

The gate was locked, and as soon as Song Yu stepped out, he heard the indigenous people whispering and discussing something.

"Ten more people died?!"

"Yes, I heard that one family was completely eaten up."

"Don't they have any concealment stones in their house?!"

"They released them? Of course they released them! The high-level predators from the next village are no match for them! The few Hidden Stone fragments they released are completely useless!"

"This is just too unlucky."

"Well, who can argue with that?"

The indigenous people discussed the matter with a mixture of excitement and fear, with the threat of death looming large. But until they were dead, they still had to make the most of each day.

Better to die than live.

However, living under the shadow of death for a long time, with normal life on one hand and predators who could kill them at any time on the other, the natives of this world are somewhat mentally unstable.

"Oh, a new person has arrived."

The survivors stopped discussing as soon as they saw Song Yu and all eyes fell on her.

Song Yu remained completely unfazed; let them watch.

It's nothing.

Having already learned the truth about the dungeon, Song Yu's mindset changed slightly when he entered it.

These are all living, breathing people.

"How long do you think she can live?"

In front of Song Yu, these indigenous survivors began to whisper among themselves again.

I guess ten days.

"Maybe it'll be thirty days; sometimes there are lucky outsiders."

Without prior arrangement, the moment they saw Song Yu appear, a look of relief appeared on the faces of these indigenous people.

It also carried a hint of schadenfreude.

Song Yu raised an eyebrow but remained silent.

Although she didn't know anything yet, she could deduce some things from the expressions of these indigenous people and her past experience.

Her appearance made these indigenous people feel relaxed, and even gloated.

This reminds me of predators...

It's highly likely that these players will attract more predators' attention than the natives.

If that's the case, no wonder these indigenous people are happy.

Song Yu was happy to be replaced.

This isn't a player; this is a scapegoat.

"The new guy."

As Song Yu was considering whether to ask someone or go out and explore on her own, a local resident in a nearby building suddenly called out to her.

"Everything here has to be exchanged for Hidden Stones, which can only be found in the wild."

"The farther away from the village, the higher the probability of the hidden stone appearing."

"But the wild is dangerous, and the probability of encountering predators there is also very high."

"This is a map of the surrounding area."

"If you encounter a predator and are not spotted immediately, you can seek shelter in the nearest building."

"But be careful, predators may also be lurking inside these buildings."

This indigenous person acted like a guide NPC in a game, explaining some basic information to Song Yu.

They also gave Song Yu a map.

"This is not free."

"If you come back alive, remember to give me some Hidden Stones as a reward, however much you want."

The woman, with a cigarette dangling from her lips, leaned against the railing and spoke lazily to Song Yu.

"Thanks."

Song Yu took the map, waved to the woman, and walked out of the village under the watchful eyes of many indigenous people.

The map isn't big; the village she's currently in is called River Village because it's near a large river.

The river has been marked as high-risk.

There are five other villages near River Village, which together form a parallelogram.

The area outside the village is what the indigenous people call the "wilderness".

Forests, plains, quarries, swamps, ...

Various landforms surround the villages, with scattered buildings dotting the landscape.

The map is marked with these markers.

[Grocery store], [church], [school], [farm], [orchard]...

This world is quite unique; it really feels like a game.

It's still that kind of eerie game.

It's completely different from the world Song Yu had been to before, no wonder it became a sequel to the Omnic Crisis.

The few new players assigned to this instance are in for a major misfortune.

Song Yu planned to first go to several other villages to see if she could find Xiao Hei. If Xiao Hei wasn't in any of these villages, she would have to search for him outside the area on the map.

Given the system's notoriously unreliable nature, Song Yu figured Xiao Hei was most likely outside the map's area. There was probably another region like this one outside—

"..."

Song Yu paused.

She took out the map the woman had given her again and examined it closely; something seemed off.

Song Yu couldn't help but feel that this area on the map resembled... a human-raising farm?!

A full range of architectural facilities, and predators that may appear anytime, anywhere.

"..."

"Wow, I'm so lucky."

Song Yu said expressionlessly.

She was being sarcastic.

Song Yu was certain that he was telling the truth.

No wonder this world could become a replica of the Omnic Crisis, she remarked once again.

So that's where the danger was.

Why call it a predator crisis? Just call it a human farm.

Simple, straightforward, and clear!
[Ding—Thanks to player Song Yu for the suggestion, this instance has been officially renamed Human Farm.]

"..."

Are you crazy?!

Song Yu thought the system was really crazy!

They even issued a special announcement!
However, given the nature of this instance, Song Yu already had a plan in mind.

In short, first get some Hidden Stones, then go out and explore to find some NPC merchants.

Song Yu opened the backpack compartment and quickly packed out some supplies and weapons.

Then he left without looking back.

Although these six villages form a parallelogram, the area outside the villages is entirely considered the wilderness.

Compared to other wilderness areas, the wilderness near villages is not as dangerous.

However, it is not entirely without danger, only relatively speaking.

Even living in a village can be dangerous, let alone in the wilderness.

There were five villages in total that Song Yu needed to explore. After thinking for a moment, Song Yu returned to the village and hung a wooden plaque with her name on it on the door of her house.

In case Xiao Hei comes looking for her, he'll know she's here.

Speaking of which, since Little Black has cannibalistic talents, could it have another identity in this dungeon?

For example, what if it can be both prey and predator?

The system only states that all players are prey, but it doesn't say that players can't have an additional identity.

If that's the case, then this place, while not exactly a paradise for cannibal players, at least has a home-field advantage.

Song Yu was rather hypocritical about Xiao Hei's cannibalistic talents.

She will kill ogre players, but she will never kill Black Knights.

Song Yu wouldn't let Xiao Hei eat people willingly, and Xiao Hei itself wouldn't do that either.

Of course, if he encountered a powerful undead or a human of another race, Song Yu would not be able to see it.

If the cannibal players don't eat the humans in their world, Song Yu wouldn't really care.

Unfortunately, these cannibal players only possess this talent because they eat the people in their world.

Only after registering the house with his name on it did Song Yu officially leave the village.

The village was surrounded by a wooden fence, making it look very much like a farm.

Song Yu had seen chickens and pigs raised in the countryside, and that's how it was.

Some cattle and sheep farms also seem to enclose their pastures in this way.

Predator Explosion...

This name is quite interesting.

Hunter, food...

Riots sparked by prey hunted for food?
Stepping out of the village gate, Song Yu felt no discomfort whatsoever. The sun was shining brightly and a gentle breeze was blowing, making it very comfortable.

It is more suitable for human habitation than a gloomy village.

Birds chirped on the branches, flowers exuded fragrance, everything was so beautiful.

However, the unexpected happened in the next second!
Song Yu was walking normally down the street when a small white flower by the roadside suddenly swelled up, opened its gaping maw, and swallowed Song Yu whole!

The swallowing sound was incredibly clear, glug-glug-glug-

The indigenous people who were lying on the village fence could clearly see the process of Song Yu being swallowed!
"I knew this guy was unlucky; he got eaten as soon as he left the village."

The indigenous people began whispering again, their voices devoid of any discernible emotion.

"What a pity, I thought we could hold on for a few more days."

An indigenous person sighed and shook his head.

The woman with a cigarette in her mouth who gave Song Yu the map had a different opinion from the other indigenous people; her expression was meaningful.

Baihua was still working hard to digest Song Yu inside her stomach, basking in the glory of winning first place, swaying gracefully.

Unfortunately, Song Yu did not die so easily!

next moment!
The white flowers and dark green body began to crack, and dazzling light was released from these cracks!

"boom--!!"

The enormous explosion and terrifying lightning power blasted the white flower to smithereens!

The roots and stems of the flowers splashed directly onto the village fence!

The green sap emitted a fresh plant fragrance, and the nearby indigenous people quickly picked up the white flower fragments.

These are all edible, we can't waste them!

Birds flew down from the branches and began to feast on the white flower's corpse.

Judging from their mouthparts covered with dense, sharp teeth, these birds are not ordinary birds of prey.

At this moment, Song Yu was covered in a sticky substance that smelled rather pleasant than foul, but was a little disgusting.

It seemed that Song Yu killed Bai Hua easily, but only Song Yu, who was swallowed by Bai Hua, knew how terrifying Bai Hua's strength was.

Her skin showed signs of corrosion, and in some places, chunks of flesh had exposed the bone!

If Song Yu had been any slower, he probably would have been completely devoured by Bai Hua.

The white flower's digestive organs were like a black hole. As soon as Song Yu was swallowed, he was attacked by a tidal wave of digestive juices, which was terrifying!
It took her half of her energy to kill Bai Hua!
These are just the predators at the village entrance.

In other words, it's a monster in the beginner village.

If the monsters in the beginner village are this difficult to deal with, imagine how tough they are in the wild.

This dungeon is tough.

Song Yu took a bucket of water from the compartment of her backpack and rinsed off the digestive juices from her body.

But there is also good news.

Song Yu obtained a fragment of Hidden Stone the size of a fingertip, one of the spoils of war from killing Bai Hua.

Besides the Hidden Stone fragments, there were also a few copper coins.

Copper coins: One of the currencies in the Human Farm instance, which can be used in buildings such as the General Store.

"We've actually entered a game instance."

Song Yu muttered to himself as he wiped the copper coin and put it into his backpack compartment.

If it's really a game instance, give her some other items or weapons to drop.

It would be best to get some small blue potions, the kind that restore mana.

If she goes to the other side of the river, will she be able to find pearls?
Song Yu cleaned up the spoils, not even sparing Bai Hua's corpse, and then continued walking along the road.

They're tough to kill, but we still have to kill them.

Song Yu felt that he was unlucky and had no luck.

Just four steps after killing the white flower, another green flower appeared!
A familiar suddenness, a familiar swallowing...

A deafening roar of laughter erupted from the village behind them!

That unlucky newbie!
