Chapter 286 Going to Apple Manor 2

"Lin Zhi frowned, and an ominous premonition surged in her heart.

Wang Kai took over the conversation and said, "We just heard from the nearby villages that the Apple Manor has been occupied by an unknown force recently. They seem to be secretly planning something. In addition, the defenses around the manor have been strengthened, so it may not be easy to get in."

Lin Zhi frowned upon hearing this. He knew that this expedition was not only related to their personal fate, but also to the future of the entire Zerg world. So he quickly made a decision: "We must meet up with others as soon as possible and make a thorough plan."

Everyone nodded in agreement and quickened their pace. Soon, they met up with the four Zerg brothers and sisters Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua, Li Li, as well as Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan. This mixed team of humans and Zerg, although from different backgrounds, was closely united by a common goal.

"Everyone, listen to me," Lin Zhi stood on a boulder and looked around at his teammates. "The situation we are facing is very serious, but as long as we unite as one, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome. Now, we need to make a detailed plan to ensure that we can enter the Apple Farm smoothly while avoiding unnecessary conflicts as much as possible."

After a heated discussion, they finally decided to take a split action strategy. Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying led Wang Jun and Wang Kai to sneak into the manor and look for opportunities to get close to the core of those unknown forces; while Li Yan, Li Ming, Li Hua and Li Li were responsible for creating chaos outside to distract the enemy; Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan used their special abilities to provide intelligence support and logistical support for the entire operation.

The plan was set, and everyone started to act separately. Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying led the two Zerg brothers and quietly approached the Apple Manor along a hidden path. Along the way, they carefully avoided patrolling enemies, and finally arrived at the wall of the manor with their excellent concealment ability and tacit cooperation.

The wall was so high that it reached the sky, and it was covered with sharp iron spikes, which looked indestructible. But Lin Zhi was not discouraged. He carefully observed the structure of the wall and soon found a gap that could be used. He gently patted Wang Jun and Wang Kai on the shoulders, signaling them to prepare for action.

Under Lin Zhi's command, the four of them climbed up the wall and successfully entered the manor. They walked along a dim corridor, taking every step carefully, for fear of alarming the guards in the manor.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the front. Lin Zhi immediately signaled everyone to stop and hid in the shadows on the side. A group of guards in black robes hurried past, with hideous masks on their faces and sharp weapons in their hands.

"It seems that our opponent is not simple." Lin Zhi said in a low voice.

Wang Kai nodded, with a determined light in his eyes: "No matter how powerful they are, we can't give up. For the future of the Zerg world, we must succeed!"

Lin Zhi smiled slightly and patted Wang Kai on the shoulder: "Well said. Now, let's move on."

In the following time, they experienced countless thrilling adventures. Sometimes, they had to hide in a small space to avoid being discovered by the enemy; sometimes, they had to bravely fight the enemy to protect each other's safety. But no matter how great the difficulties were, they never gave up.

Finally, in a mysterious basement, they found the core of those unknown forces - a huge energy device. This device emitted a dazzling light and seemed to be absorbing the surrounding energy.

"Is this what we are looking for?" Zhang Ying looked at the device in front of him, curiosity and confusion flashing in his eyes.

Lin Zhi nodded, looking solemn: "That's right. This device not only controls the defense system of Apple Manor, but also hides the secrets to other worlds. We must destroy it to save the entire Zerg world."

However, just as they were about to take action, a deafening alarm suddenly sounded. It turned out that their actions had been discovered by the enemy.

"Oh no, let's go!" Lin Zhi reacted quickly and led everyone towards the exit.

In the process of escaping, they continued to fight with the enemy, and with their excellent fighting skills and tacit cooperation, they successfully got rid of the enemy's pursuit. In the end, they returned to the base safely with deep memories of Apple Manor and valuable intelligence.

Although this adventure is full of challenges and dangers, it also strengthens their trust and friendship with each other. They know that as long as they unite as one, nothing can stop them from moving forward.

Today, their mission is to repair the Apple Manor located on the edge of the Zerg territory. The Apple Manor was once a summer resort for Zerg nobles, but now it looks a bit dilapidated due to years of disrepair. However, the apple trees in the manor are still swaying in the autumn wind, as if telling of its past glory.

"Yan Jun, do you think this repair task will go smoothly?" Zhang Ying asked softly, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Lin Zhi smiled sternly and patted Zhang Ying on the shoulder: "Don't worry, with me here, nothing is impossible. Moreover, we have the help of the two Zerg brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai, plus the four brothers and sisters of the Li family, this mission will definitely be successfully completed."

When Lin Zhiyan mentioned the Zerg brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai, as well as Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua and Li Li from the Li family, she could not help but feel a warm current in her heart. These friends from different races became their strongest backing.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the Apple Manor. The gate of the manor was closed, and the rust on the door told of the vicissitudes of time. Lin Zhi Yanjun walked forward and pushed the door open with force. A creaking sound was heard, as if welcoming their arrival.

Inside the manor, weeds grew everywhere and the paths were covered with fallen leaves, making it look a bit desolate. But Lin Zhi Yanjun and others did not back down. They quickly divided the work and began to repair the manor. Wang Jun and Wang Kai were responsible for clearing weeds and fallen leaves, while the four brothers and sisters of the Li family were responsible for repairing the buildings in the manor. Lin Zhi Yanjun and Zhang Ying were responsible for checking the manor's defense facilities to ensure that it would not be disturbed by the outside world during the repair period.

Time passed quietly in the busyness, and in the blink of an eye, the sun had already set. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the apple farm, covering this ancient land with a golden coat. Lin Zhi Yanjun and others looked at the fruits of their labor with satisfied smiles on their faces.

"It seems that we have completed our mission today well." Lin Zhi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Zhang Ying.

Zhang Ying nodded, his eyes full of satisfaction: "Yes, thanks to everyone's efforts. However, we still need to continue to strengthen the defense of the manor. After all, this place is remote and we are likely to encounter some uninvited guests."

Lin Zhiyan frowned slightly when he heard this, but then he regained his composure: "You are right, we can't take it lightly. How about this, let's go to the nearby town tomorrow and buy some defense supplies."

Zhang Ying nodded in agreement, and the two smiled at each other, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.

As night fell, a bonfire was lit in the Apple Farm. Lin Zhiyan and others sat around the fire, sharing the day's harvest and joy. Zerg brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai talked about the interesting things they encountered when clearing weeds, while the four brothers and sisters of the Li family shared their experiences in repairing buildings.

In such a warm and harmonious atmosphere, Lin Zhiyan and Zhang Ying felt an unprecedented sense of belonging. They knew that no matter how many difficulties and challenges they would encounter in the future, as long as everyone was united, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

As the night deepened, the bonfire gradually died down, and Lin Zhi Yanjun and the others returned to their rooms to rest. In their dreams, they seemed to see that one day in the future, the Apple Manor would regain its vitality and become a shining pearl on the Zerg land.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and sprinkled on the apple farm, Lin Zhi Yanjun and others were ready to go. With a beautiful vision of the future, they set out on the road to the town.

The river finally came to the entrance of the apple farm. The gate of the farm was closed and surrounded by high fences, which made it look very mysterious.

"It seems that we have to find a way to get in." Wang Jun said after observing for a while.

Lin Zhi nodded. She looked around and found a gap in the fence. She pointed there and said, "We'll go in from there, but be careful not to alert the guards in the manor."

The team carefully passed through the gap and entered the manor. They were shocked by the sight before them: the manor was full of strange plants and insects, and the air was filled with a strange fragrance.

"Is this the Apple Farm? Why does it look so strange?" Li Li asked uneasily.

Li Ming seemed extremely excited, "Who cares? Let's go find the apple tree!"

They walked along a path and soon came to an open space. In the open space, there stood several huge apple trees, which were full of tempting red apples.

"Look, that's the apple tree!" Lin Zhi pointed ahead and said excitedly.

However, just as they were about to approach the apple tree, a low roar came from deep in the woods, and then a huge insect rushed out from the bushes and headed straight for them.

"Oh no! It's the insect beasts guarding the manor!" Zhang Ying reacted quickly and stood in front of the team.

The insect beast was huge, covered with a hard shell, with sharp fangs in its mouth. It roared angrily, as if it wanted to tear the invaders into pieces.

Faced with the sudden crisis, Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying quickly formulated a strategy. They commanded the Zerg brothers and Wang Jun, Li Ming and others to attract the attention of the insect beast from the front, while Li Yan, Li Hua and Li Li quietly went behind the insect beast and prepared to launch a surprise attack.

The battle was about to start, and the insect beasts attacked fiercely, but Lin Zhi, Zhang Ying and others gradually gained the upper hand with tacit cooperation and firm belief. After a fierce fight, they finally subdued the insect beasts and successfully protected the safety of the team.

After a thrilling and fierce battle, they were exhausted but full of joy and slowly came to the leafy apple tree. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadows, as if covering the orchard with a layer of golden gauze.

They looked up and saw red apples hanging from the branches, adorning the treetops like little lanterns. Each of these apples was large and plump, with bright and attractive colors, and exuded a sweet aroma that made them salivate.

They couldn't wait to pick the ripe apples. When they held the apples in their hands, they could feel their heavy weight and smooth and delicate skin. They took a bite and a crisp sound instantly rang out. The sweet juice immediately filled their mouths and flowed down their throats, bringing a refreshing and comfortable feeling. This wonderful taste was simply intoxicating and they couldn't help but taste it one bite after another.

Everyone ate with gusto, with satisfied smiles on their faces. After finishing one, they would reach out to pick more apples involuntarily, as if they would never get tired of eating this delicious food.

"Haha! It seems that our mission this time has been successfully completed!" Lin Zhi stared at the basket full of red, round apples with a smile on her face, her eyes showing unconcealed joy and satisfaction, and she couldn't help but exclaim. The apples were bright in color, with smooth and delicate skin, exuding an attractive fruity fragrance, as if showing people their freshness and sweetness. Lin Zhi gently picked up an apple and rubbed it in her hand, feeling its heavy weight and unique texture, and her heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment. She thought to herself: "After so many days of hard work, I finally reaped such a fruitful result. It's not easy!" Thinking of this, the smile on her mouth became even stronger.

Zhang Ying looked at the Zerg village in the distance, his heart filled with emotion, "Yes, we should not only help the Zerg increase their food reserves, but also teach them how to grow and protect their homes."

On the way back, the sun cast mottled shadows through the dense leaves, as if laying a golden carpet on the road. The breeze gently brushed everyone's faces, bringing a hint of coolness. At this moment, two figures appeared not far ahead. It turned out to be Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan who came to meet them. They stood there gracefully, like two blooming flowers. When the two Zerg women saw their companions returning with a full load from afar, their slightly worried expressions were instantly replaced by relief. The corners of their mouths rose involuntarily, revealing a warm and bright smile like the warm spring sun. That smile was like the bright stars in the night sky, illuminating the entire forest path; it was also like a clear spring, flowing into everyone's heart, sweeping away everyone's fatigue along the way.

"You did a great job, the Zerg will be proud of you." Hua Yuan said.

Zhang Yuan smiled at everyone, his eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation. He raised his voice slightly and added, "At this moment, let us work together to carefully carry these red, round and fragrant apples back to our warm and harmonious village! In this way, all the lovely and kind Zerg friends in the village will be able to taste this sweet fruit gifted by nature! Imagine everyone sitting together, happily enjoying the sweet and delicious apples with happy and satisfied smiles on their faces. What a beautiful picture that would be!"
