Chapter 1248 Farm Owner 1
Tan You quickly settled her task this time and immediately started working on new ones to broaden her horizons. This time, however, a soul orb emanating a dense aura of death appeared, immediately piquing Tan You's interest.

Without even taking a break, she simply went through the original owner's memories before heading to the mission world. Both were intermediate-level missions; she figured she should be able to handle them.
However, after arriving in this mission world, Tan You felt that she should review the client's memories several times before leaving, just like now, when she arrived with a disastrous start.

When I woke up, I found myself lying in a desolate wilderness. In the distance, I could hear the roars of mutated beasts. Through the gaps in the vines, I could see shadowy mutated plants not far away. I moved my arms and legs, and thankfully, I wasn't missing any limbs.

The surrounding area reeked of blood, and the corpses of their companions were probably devoured by the mutated beasts.

As for why the original owner was unharmed, Tan You glanced at the green vines surrounding the original owner and poked them without hesitation: "Be gentle, you're choking me."

As if it had scratched an itch, the vine, which was as thick as a child's arm, gradually loosened and eventually became a small seedling with only two leaves.

This is the original owner's contracted mutated plant. It has little combat power, but its stealth abilities are unparalleled. Tan You touched the leaves at the top of the seedling, looked at the original owner's memories, and laughed in exasperation at this starting point.

Staring at the setting sun overhead, she reached into her bosom and pulled out half a yellowish-brown pancake. Taking a small bite, Tan You stretched her neck and swallowed it with great difficulty.

The flatbread scraped against her throat, leaving a rough, unpleasant sensation. Even during the most difficult times in her family's life, Tan You had never eaten anything like it. It was as if the coarsest bran mixed with withered grass had been kneaded with great force.

This was a rare delicacy within the base, something ordinary people couldn't even dream of. The original owner had this pancake because she possessed a special ability, albeit a wood-based ability that lacked combat power.

Tan You took a vicious bite of the pancake. After eating a small portion and regaining some strength, she put the pancake away, checked the direction, and then confirmed all of the original owner's documents. Tan You then slowly headed towards the land allocated to the original owner by the base.

Speaking of the original owner, she was unlucky. In this cannibalistic apocalypse, she awakened a superpower, albeit a support-type power based on wood.

You could say she's lucky, since she's the only one left on the household registration book now.

Tan You has gradually figured out the tricks of the trade: in mid-level mission worlds like this, the start is basically a dead end.

For example, Adina, the witch, and the Xuan Yu world—they didn't give her any chance to react; opening her eyes meant certain death. If this is how it is with intermediate-level missions, imagine what the high-level missions are like…

Tan You composed herself, not worrying about the future. No matter what, she had to travel to these worlds.

Focusing on this mission, we must recall that a natural disaster occurred a century ago. Following this catastrophe, plants and animals mutated, and many people perished. Although people barely survived the disaster, it resulted in a sharp decline in population, leaving less than a third of the original population.

After the disaster, the country needed to rebuild, so the base issued a policy to the survivors, encouraging them to leave the base and work hard to cultivate the land and support themselves.

For pioneers, the base will reward them with energy shields, spatial hubs, and pioneering tools. The original owner was alone in the base. Although he had superpowers, he was still young and his power level was low. If he stayed in the base, he would only become someone else's subordinate.

She was ambitious, so she signed up to participate in the base's land reclamation. However, she didn't expect to succeed so soon. On the way to her assigned land, she was attacked by mutated beasts. Because of her small stature, the original owner of this body fell out of the vehicle, and that's how Tan You ended up here.

As for the original owner's memories, that's all for now. Tan You walked for about an hour. Night fell, and the distant roars of beasts became clearer. Tan You quickened her pace, hoping to reach the safe zone as soon as possible. Spending the night in the wild was a high-risk activity, and people could easily die.

A cloud of dust billowed in the distance, and a pickup truck screeched to a halt in front of her. Tan You took a half-step back, instinctively reaching for the small dagger at her waist.

"Lin Wei? You're still alive?" Two soldiers jumped out of the car and were surprised to see Tan You. "Since you're still alive, we'll take you to your assigned location."

Tan You recognized the two men; they were the ones responsible for escorting the settlers to their assigned land. It's worth noting that when the battle began, the original owner was caught in the crossfire, and the warriors escorting the farmers to their assigned land didn't find her when they checked the survivors.

"That would be troublesome. How long will it take to get there?" Tan You didn't refuse. The original owner of this body was a fourteen-year-old girl, thin and small, and an undeveloped wood-type ability user. If others had any ill intentions towards her...

Therefore, it's better to accept it, since the regular troops in the base are still trustworthy.

“It’s a two-hour drive,” the person in the driver’s seat shouted. “Your farm is on the very edge, so be careful.”

"Why would a young girl like you choose such an out-of-the-way spot?"

Tan You said, half-jokingly, "The other survivors all brought their families with them. It was already very difficult for me to get a spot in the first batch of pioneers. Besides, there's a protective shield. There's always a way."

“That’s true. Let’s add each other on communication. The base will arrange for people to patrol more often.” Chen Xiaojun, the baby-faced guy, was clearly more outgoing. He took the initiative to add Tan You on communication: “If anything happens, just let me know. As long as I’m nearby, I’ll definitely help if I can.”

"Okay, thank you. May I ask your name?" Tan You readily complied; these were all connections she had.

Chen Xiaojun scratched his head and smiled somewhat sheepishly: "My name is Chen Xiaojun, this is Li Yong, you can just call him Brother Yong."

"Brother Xiaojun, Brother Yong," Tan You said, launching into a string of sweet words, "Thank you for taking me to my assigned location. I don't know how long it would have taken me to get here alone."

Li Yong paused for a moment, then said, "You're welcome. Escorting you to your assigned location is our duty."

"C88, we've arrived. This is your assigned location." The pickup truck crossed the plains and finally stopped at the foot of a mountain. Although it was called the foot of a mountain, it was actually quite a distance from the mountain range.

Tan You jumped out of the car, and Chen Xiaojun and Li Yong also jumped out. Instead of just dropping her off and leaving like they would with others, the two stayed to help Tan You install the protective shield.

Perhaps it was to make up for the original owner's embarrassment at being left behind in the afternoon?
The instant the protective shield activated, an invisible ripple spread out, and the field mice, rabbits, and other animals that had been assigned to the plot scattered in all directions. The vines coiled around Tan You's wrist moved at the sound of the rustling and quickly brought back a yellowish-brown rabbit.

A new chapter begins, set in a wasteland for survival. I'm currently updating once a day, trying to build up a backlog of chapters. Thank you for your votes and monthly tickets, everyone!
