Chapter 50
The pea was still staring blankly at the cabbage in front of it.
Was it injured and hallucinating?
It feels like I've suddenly returned to the plant garden...
Cabbage, carrots, nuts, carnivorous plants...
While the pea was still in a daze, the giant nut rolled in, and the carrot was the last to jump to the ground.
"Whoa!" it waved and shouted, and the plant team that descended from the sky along with the cabbage began to move.
A giant nut rolled over and stood in front of the zombie king, forcibly forcing it back, while various ranged attacks were thrown from behind.
There were potato bombs, corn balls, chili seeds, pomegranate seeds, cactus thorns... the list goes on and on.
The zombie king moved slowly, seemingly disturbed by the sudden situation, and several wounds immediately appeared on its body.
It didn't care at all, raised its hand to pull out a radish thorn from its shoulder, and bent its leg to leap.
The giant nut also bounced, its enormous size knocking the zombie king down from mid-air.
The zombie king was forced back again, and two more wounds appeared on his body.
On the other side, the durian grows larger and follows the giant man-eating flower, using its spikes to repel the zombies.
New plants also arrived; one group was hanging on the radish thorns, while another group was perched on the heads of the carnivorous flowers, thus forming two groups.
The nuts are positioned further out, making them easy to move and block the zombie king at any time.
The watermelon and pumpkin grew more than ten times larger. The watermelon bounced around like a giant bouncy ball, while the pumpkin had a rough skin and thick flesh, equivalent to a second medium-sized nut.
The four-leaf clover whips its head wildly, creating gusts of wind blades; even the gaps along the edges of its leaves make it incredibly fierce in close combat.
The money tree activated its massive protective shield, allowing it to stay in a safer spot on the inside, along with the tulips and pothos.
The green ivy and tulip are also support types. One can continuously release air waves to slow down the movement of zombies around it, and the fragrance emitted by the other can increase the attack of its companions by at least 20%.
The cabbage was temporarily in charge of guarding the peas. It took out a few spare pills from the gaps in its leaves and stuffed them into the peas' mouths.
The pea ate in a daze, then finally came to its senses and hugged the cabbage, whimpering...
The cabbage tore it apart with a look of disgust and snorted.
It turns out the thing trapped here is a giant pea... Who knew it would end up like this!
Back in the courtyard, Pea was very mischievous, always teasing other plants and getting into fights. He was only well-behaved in front of Qianhui.
The cabbage still remembers how the pea came to pluck its own leaves to make a little bed for the fennel, making it much thinner.
However, the situation is special, so we won't worry about that now.
Cabbage clenched her fists and looked around warily at the human group behind her.
Upon meeting its gaze, Qi Yue subtly stepped back.
The pea had previously unleashed a charged attack, causing heavy casualties among the horde of zombies, which were then replenished by the continuously summoned zombies.
The arriving plants were busy killing zombies, and the group was completely surrounded, unable to leave immediately.
And witnessing firsthand the cooperation between plants in defending against enemies, everyone present was stunned and unable to express their feelings in words.
No wonder so many people died in Blackridge Mountain, no wonder the Sky Base branch was so easily breached.
Many people know how powerful the top-grade exotic plants are, but the mid-to-high-grade exotic plants that they originally thought were not a threat can also reach extremely high limits.
When so many exotic plants gather together... it's simply unimaginable.
Realizing that the plants had no immediate intention of attacking the group, Qi Yue recalled the many recent events and made an extremely bold decision.
He said in the live chat: "Focus on killing the zombies. If necessary... we can assist the alien plants."
Qi Yue was well aware that this was the best way to ensure the team's survival; otherwise, even with the interference of zombies, they might not be able to win if they really had to fight these alien plants.
And... Nan Tingjin's whereabouts are unknown.
Was he held hostage by the alien plant before, or has he already left?
The team members who came with Qi Yue this time were all the ones he knew best, and they cooperated very well with him.
They roughly understood Qi Yue's thoughts and immediately made adjustments.
However... assisting the alien plants in battle was too sudden, and the team members were not used to it, so they tried to avoid the plants as much as possible.
Several people tried to go around in another direction, but accidentally got close to the man-eating flower and almost brushed past it.
The giant carnivorous plant's gaze swept over them, carrying a cold scrutiny that sent chills down their spines.
Fortunately, the carnivorous plant did nothing to them and turned to glide away.
On the way here, Carrot noticed these modified vehicles parked on the outside by humans, and the markings on them were not from Skybase.
Since that's not the case, according to Qianhui's idea, their mission is to save plants and kill zombies, and to avoid conflict with the human team unless necessary.
These humans seemed to be quite sensible; upon seeing the arrival of the plant team, they did not launch an attack.
That's enough; you can't really count on anything else.
They'll deal with these zombies first, then consider how to handle these human superhumans.
Seeing this, the cabbage felt a little relieved. After the pea took the medicine and its wounds healed, it patted the pea's head and said, "Woo."
It told the pea to stay in a safe place on the inside and not to run around, then turned around and suddenly rushed out, punching a high-level zombie that was biting the root of a man-eating flower to the ground.
The zombies continued to pour in from all directions, and the hordes of zombies entrenched in the entire area were all summoned by the zombie king.
Gradually, the carrot squad and the carnivorous plant squad split into three different directions from the human team. The plants and humans basically did not interfere with each other, but worked together to resist the zombies.
The Zombie King stood in front of the giant nut, slightly bowing, his chest rising and falling like he was breathing.
The giant nut is huge, but it is very agile and nimble, and it always manages to block it.
Moreover, once the zombie king moves, the nut will roll over and crush the horde of zombies.
It has the highest defensive attributes of all plants, and with such a simple combat method, it trapped the zombie king in place.
But unlike the battle in the forest, the ruins were a poor environment and couldn't provide any help to the plants.
Most importantly, the Zombie King was here the whole time, and its wounds increased, with more wind blades seeping from its skin.
Wind blades danced in the air, almost forming a defensive wall protecting the horde of corpses.
The ranged attacks from the plant and human teams were blocked by the wind wall, but the zombies were unaffected, resulting in a stalemate between the three parties.
From the side, a high-level zombie was stirring, seizing the opportunity to pass through the wind wall, swing its claws to break through the defensive shield, and pounce on the nearest team member.
The team member couldn't dodge in time, and just as his throat was about to be slashed by sharp claws, a bamboo knife flew through the air and wounded the zombie.
The bamboo knife seemed to have been smeared with something like chili water. The zombie hissed, withdrew its hand, and took two steps back.
Just then, a new round of radish thorns fell, and the attached electromagnetic waves exploded, knocking it to the ground.
A green shadow leaped in, moving with lightning speed, and severed the zombie's neck.
The little bamboo shoot landed firmly and made eye contact with the team members.
It sheathed its knife, nodded, looking both indifferent and polite, as if to say, "You're welcome."
While the team members were still in a daze, Little Bamboo Shoot turned and ran away to assist other positions.
The carrot used a charged attack directly, and while the carrot rain was still falling, it forcibly neutralized the wind blades.
Taking this opportunity, the potato threw out two big bombs, and the corn grew larger and spat out a large ball of jelly.
The jelly was sliced in half by the remaining wind blades, but this did not affect its effect at all; it directly knocked seven or eight zombies into immobility.
Seeing that Corn had used its charged attack again, Potato looked on with envy.
It gripped another bomb, mustered all its strength, roared, and threw it with all its might.
The bomb was small and passed through the wind wall without incident. Suddenly, it split into dozens of smaller bombs, which then formed a long strip and exploded like firecrackers.
Potato was startled, then excitedly grabbed Corn's hand and shook it: "Woo woo!"
The three plants erupted in succession, causing even more casualties among the horde.
There were no more zombies to summon nearby. A high-level zombie turned and roared, asking the zombie king if they should evacuate.
If plants and humans unite, and this continues, only the zombie horde will be consumed.
However, the zombie king did not respond; it was filled with resentment and stared intently at the giant nut in front of it.
This is the same group of plants twice now.
But Qianhui and the human superhuman beside her weren't here. Even if they couldn't kill them all, killing one or two would be fine.
Then, the zombie king let out a low growl, ordering all the zombies to retreat to a safe distance.
The horde of zombies stopped attacking, but used the wind wall to trap all the plants and humans.
The Zombie King stood up straight, withstanding all the attacks, and stepped in front of Nut.
It raised its hands and placed its palms on its hard shell.
At the same time, Qianhui received a notification that Potato had acquired the Berserk skill.
He stood amidst the ruins, holding a sunflower in his arms, turning off the game notifications, and checking the status of the plants once again.
The little mushroom peeked out from the coat pocket, looking around cautiously.
The small cabbages, apples, and succulents also stayed with Qian Hui, some in her pockets and some hidden in her backpack, all under the protection of Nan Tingjin.
Standing beside Qian Hui, Nan Tingjin looked up and surveyed the surroundings: "Where are we?"
The mimosa plant pressed itself against the sunflower petals, then raised its leaves and pointed.
Not long ago, Qianhui separated from the plant team, originally planning to hide in a safer place.
Qianhui can see the information in the encyclopedia at any time. As long as the carnivorous plant does not use its berserk skill, it means that Nantingjin does not need to help.
After waiting for a while with some plants, the mimosa suddenly said that it smelled another scent not far away.
It should be human, and it doesn't smell of any superpowers... It's an ordinary human, surrounded by zombies, but very few.
Ordinary humans?
Qian Hui subconsciously thought, wouldn't that be very dangerous?
The mimosa's abilities have been greatly enhanced; when the distance is sufficient, it can even sense the emotions within an aura.
—Confusion, bewilderment, fear.
Just after Mimosa told Qianhui this information, Qianhui saw a hidden quest in the quest log about "quietly approaching the zombie camp and seeing what they are doing," and the progress suddenly increased to 60%.
Qian Hui frowned slightly, hesitating about what to do.
Should we wait until the plant team returns safely before doing this hidden quest, or should we go check it out now?
The mimosa plant had already sensed the presence of Zombie King 03. Its presence here meant the mission must be related to it. Coincidentally, both it and the horde of zombies were tied down by the plants and unable to leave for the time being.
Seeing Qian Hui's hesitation, Nan Tingjin offered, "Want to go? I'll go with you."
Qian Hui hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Mm."
So, following the mimosa's guidance, the two arrived at a low building not far away.
Qian Hui hugged the sunflower tightly, still a little nervous: "Or maybe..."
He was leading a group of plants that couldn't fight, and he also had to protect the little mushrooms, with only Nan Tingjin by his side.
Although she knew that Nan Tingjin was very strong, Qian Hui was still worried and afraid that he might encounter danger.
Suddenly, before he could finish speaking, three zombies rushed out of the low building.
Sensing the approaching unfamiliar presence, they immediately pounced.
The next moment, Nan Tingjin slightly raised his hand, and the bodies of the three zombies were simultaneously blown away, their bones cracking as their necks were snapped and they were lifeless.
Qian Hui opened her mouth, but hesitated, holding tightly to Nan Tingjin's sleeve.
After Mimosa confirmed that there were no zombies nearby, Nan Tingjin used his supernatural ability again to move the rubble that was pressing down on the low building.
The intact half underneath was also forcibly torn apart and gradually dug down.
When the three zombies guarding the low building died, the zombie king immediately sensed it.
The wind blades that were trying to cut open the giant nut suddenly stopped, released their grip, and turned to look at the location of the low building.
Realizing what might have happened, the zombie king's body trembled with extreme rage.
Then it leaped away, leaving the horde of corpses behind.
Seeing this, the carrot and the carnivorous plant tacitly chose to give chase.
That place is very close to Qian Hui, and I have a bad feeling about it. Moreover, the zombie king is seriously injured at this time, so there is a good chance of killing it.
The carnivorous plant shook off the zombies around it, its stem swaying rapidly as it swam away. Carrot pulled out its thorns and scooped up the nearest cactus.
It has already used its charged attack, so bringing another one would be safer.
Before flying away, Carrot let out a "whoosh," signaling the plant team to follow, ignoring the remaining horde of zombies for now.
Pea was still lying under a pile of rubble, resting with his legs crossed, when he saw Cabbage and hurriedly ran over.
It asked curiously, "Huh?"
What's going on? Are you trying to kill that zombie king?
There's really no need to rush. We can deal with the remaining horde of zombies first.
Cabbage didn't have time to explain further: "Waaah!"
Big Pea immediately flipped over and stood up, his eyes wide open.
What?! Huibao is here too?!
The big pea shoved the cabbage aside, even more anxious than the cabbage, and ran wildly after the carnivorous plant and the carrot.
