In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

After swiping the card and spending 54.5 million world points, Mo Chen successfully pocketed the five items.

The transaction was completed, and Mo Chen turned around and left with satisfaction.

Within a few seconds, the caravan was surrounded by excited manor residents.

After witnessing their own homeowners returning with full loads, everyone's enthusiasm for trading was aroused and they began to rush to buy the goods they wanted.

Customers came one after another, making the caravan members a little busy and flustered.

“When you’re busy, you’re always very relaxed.”

Mo Chen went and came back, hiding himself not far from the caravan's base, quietly observing the movements of the caravan.

The cargo box containing caffeine had been placed by the Stranger in a corner of the caravan's base, making it easy to steal.

"Rosemary, thank you for your hard work."

"Understood, dear."

Under Mo Chen's instructions, Rosemary assisted the caravan in maintaining order at the scene.

In fact, her eyes were always focused on where the caffeine was stored, so she would be able to spot any movement immediately.

"Now, we just have to wait."

Mo Chen muttered to himself and turned his gaze towards the caravan’s base.

"Excessive caffeine is not a good thing..."

In the first few days after taking over Manor No. 5905, Mo Chen, with the help of Xiao Da, systematically learned a lot of knowledge about the modern world.

In the information about the coffee bean plant spirit, Xiao Da specifically mentioned a controlled-level drug, which is caffeine that can only be extracted from the coffee bean plant spirit.

After gaining a deeper understanding of caffeine, Mo Chen also learned about many criminal incidents derived from caffeine, as well as the reasons why coffee bean spirits are generally discriminated against in the modern world today.

It is the addiction caused by excessive caffeine and the wanton abuse of caffeine and its products that lead to one tragedy after another.

As a model youth who grew up under the red flag before traveling through time, Mo Chen naturally knew what this "excessive caffeine" represented.

At the very least, the family will be broken up and the whole country will be devastated. Being labeled a "sick man" is shameful and humiliating.

It is said that there is also a mutant plant called "Devil's Leaf" growing in the Empire, which has a similar effect to caffeine (it can also excite and relieve pain, and is addictive).

In the Jiafeng region, which is under the rule of the empire, the control over the devil leaf is quite lax.

The empire seemed to have done this intentionally, allowing the devil leaf and its products to become popular in Canada.

Therefore, in Jiafeng, zombie addicts smoking Devil Leaf can be seen everywhere.

Everything has a limit. Once exceeded, it will always cause irreparable damage.

A small amount of caffeine/devil's leaf can cure diseases, but an excessive amount of caffeine/devil's leaf will mercilessly plunge people into the abyss.

"Caffeine...coffee bean spirit...Sophia..."

When reviewing the relationship, Mo Chen thought of Sophia again.

As a coffee bean plant spirit, Sophia must know about caffeine.

She must have had a deep understanding of or experience with caffeine; after all, this is common knowledge that every coffee bean plant spirit should know.

The more likely possibility is that the person Sophia used caffeine on was herself.

Thinking back to the various anomalies when he first met Sophia, combined with her wavering attitude and the fact that she unintentionally covered her arms with her sleeves, Mo Chen already had a bad feeling in his heart.

Could it be that Sophia is really a caffeine addict?

The highlights are gone, leaving only sunken pupils, perhaps due to the numbness caused by long-term caffeine injection.

The nagging tone, which is only for the purpose of pleasing others, may be the result of long-term submission due to being discriminated against.

And under Sophia's sleeves, on her arms wrapped in layers of bandages, there may be some hideous needle holes.

Although Mo Chen had great trust in his own plant spirit warriors, Sophia's condition and her race made Mo Chen very worried.

Since the caffeine crime was involved, even Mo Chen seemed a little forced to speculate Sophia from the worst perspective.

Sophia is young and only possesses second-level plant spiritual power. In theory, she cannot extract caffeine on her own.

But she gets caffeine in more ways than just extracting it herself.

Getting caffeine from others is also a common method used by caffeine addicts.

The others here are most likely criminals involved in caffeine smuggling.

Mo Chen's thoughts became more and more divergent, as if following clues, and gradually pieced together a reasonable conjecture.

But just as he was thinking deeply, an urgent call brought Mo Chen back to reality.

"House... Mr. Owner..."

When Mo Chen came to his senses, the person who appeared in front of him was actually Angela.

Angela, who was frail, looked out of breath after running all the way from the medical center.

Sweat soaked her white coat, making her look rather disheveled.

"Tell me slowly, what happened?"

Mo Chen patted Angela's back gently to help her adjust her breathing.

After a short while, Angela, who had caught her breath, finally said, "Sir, Sophia is missing."

When Mo Chen heard that it was about Sophia, he instantly became alert.

"Missing? When?"

"Some time ago, Ms. Miu Miu brought a child named Mu Mu to come for a physical examination. After I examined the child, I went to the warehouse with Miu Miu to get medicine for Mu Mu.

When we came back, Mumu told us that she saw Sophia, who was in a very bad condition, leave the medical center directly.

I suspected something had happened to Sophia, but I couldn't find her anywhere, so Ms. Miu Miu suggested that I come to you and maybe I could find out where Sophia had gone."

After listening carefully to Angela's story, Mo Chen pondered for a moment and immediately rushed towards the community tree.

As long as Sophia is in Manor 5905, Xiaoda can locate her through the community tree.

Just when Mo Chen brought Angela to the community tree, he found that someone had been waiting there for a long time.

With green hair and green eyes, the other party seems to be a pea shooter plant spirit.

He wore a cowboy hat, a red scarf around his neck, a leather jacket, and long riding boots.

He had a five-pointed star-shaped metal badge on his chest and a silver-gleaming revolver on his waist.

Mo Chen recognized the other person's identity at a glance. He was the federal law enforcer that Chi Yuan had mentioned before.

There are now law enforcers in every war manor in War Zone 59, and Manor 5905 is no exception.

"You must be the owner of Manor No. 5905. According to the order of Law Enforcement Officer Chi Yuan, this confidential file needs to be handed over to you for review.

At the same time, please cooperate with the other members of the manor in the actions of our Federal Special Operations Department."

The law enforcer's attitude was very respectful, and he handed another file bag to Mo Chen.

"The confidential document that Law Enforcement Officer Chi Yuan handed over to me. Will you cooperate with the operation?"

Mo Chen looked confused, then signaled Angela to go into the community tree to look for Xiao Da first, while he opened the file bag containing the confidential file.

"The member files of the caffeine criminal organization 'Fallen Heaven' in War Zone 59. Uh, why are there only two people?"

After complaining a little about the organization's pitifully small staffing, Mo Chen's gaze rested on the name on the second file.

After a brief silence, Mo Chen exclaimed in disbelief: "Sophia?"
