In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

The abandoned city tonight is different from the past, it seems very peaceful in the heavy rain.

There was not even a low-level zombie to be seen on the streets, which felt a bit weird.

Huo Jujian waded quickly through the rain-soaked streets and came to a single-family building that had been abandoned for a long time. This was the place where he and the other party had agreed to meet.

"Owner, are you sure you want to go in?"

The loyal Shovel Man-Man was waiting beside Huo Jujian. When he saw his master stop, he couldn't help but ask.

Huo Jiujian glanced at the Shovel Man beside him, as if he was thinking about something.

After a brief silence, he did not answer the question of his own Shovel Man, but stepped directly into the building.

Seeing this, the Shovel Man-Man immediately followed closely behind Huo Jujian.

As soon as he stepped into the building, the Shovel Man felt a vague sense of crisis.

It was as if a sharp thorn was piercing his back, making the Shovel Man feel a little uneasy.

Without relying on intuition, the Shovel Man-Man could conclude that there was an enemy here that posed a huge threat to him and the owner of the house.

He was just about to persuade Huo Jujian to leave for the second time when a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Homeowner, be careful, it's a zombie!"

When he saw the face of the person coming, the Shovel Man was slightly startled, then he immediately summoned his weapon and was ready to attack.

"She's not the enemy."

Huo Jujian snorted coldly and stopped his own Iron Shovel robot from taking action.

"But she..."

The Shovel Man-Man seemed to want to say something, but when he saw the extremely cold eyes of his owner and the dissatisfaction in his tone, he reluctantly retracted his weapon.

"Yes."

Despite this, the Shovel Man-Man still glared at the zombie in front of him.

"Mr. Huo Jiujian, this way please."

The woman with twin ponytails, smoky makeup, and even a bubble gum in her mouth laughed softly and gave directions to Huo Jujian in a strange smoky voice.

Huo Jiujian nodded and walked in the direction she pointed.

The Shovel Man could feel that beneath the other party's seemingly thin body, there was an unspeakable horror hidden.

He was indeed somewhat worried about allowing his homeowner to stay with such a being who could become an enemy at any time.

After gritting his teeth slightly, the Shovel Man followed Huo Jujian's back again.

It wasn't until the three men were far away that several hidden ZIA agents emerged from the darkness.

"As expected of a Shovel Man-Made, he was able to sense our presence. If it were an ordinary Plant Spirit Warrior, he wouldn't be able to detect even a hair of ours."

"A mere Shovel Man-Mage who is loyal to an ordinary house owner has such a keen intuition. If Lord Tianhua hadn't stepped in, he might have discovered us."

"It's hard to imagine how powerful the tools of the elite and even the veteran owners are."

"I heard that the Imperial Science Department has begun work on cracking the technology of artificial humans..."

Several ZIA agents were discussing happily until a ZIA agent, who was obviously the team leader, coughed lightly a few times and stopped.

"Stop talking nonsense and continue to perform your guard duty."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings fell into silence again.

·····

"Tianhua, could this be the owner of Manor No. 5935, Mr. Huo Jiujian?"

In front of the door of a room, a skinny man in a black robe stood in front of the three people.

"That's right, Black Death, this is Mr. Huo Jiujian who sincerely wants to become our 'partner'."

The woman called Tianhua smiled sweetly, revealing Huo Jiujian's identity.

But the details of her conversation with the other party surprised the shovel-like man next to Huo Jujian.

Whether it is "smallpox" or "Black Death", they are the names of diseases.

Zombies, codenamed after diseases, exist in the empire only in the "Plague Special Forces", one of the four major special forces.

The Plague Special Forces are good at launching biological and chemical warfare, and they carry out extermination attacks on the enemy by spreading diseases, releasing poison gas, creating pollution sources, etc.

In the list of major federal enemies, the threat posed by the Plague Forces is second only to the most terrifying "Death Forces".

Having an exclusive disease as a code name means that this plague special forces soldier is very powerful.

Two plague special soldiers with exclusive code names appeared at the same time, which made the Shovel Man-Man feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.

"That person has been waiting for you for a long time, Mr. Huo Jiujian, please come in."

After confirming that Huo Jujian's identity was correct, Black Death made way for him, allowing him to enter the room behind him.

"Haha, I've been waiting for you for a long time, Mr. Huo Jiujian."

Sitting behind the desk with a smirk on his face was Infinite Boy, one of the many zombie heroes in the empire.

Not long ago, he received an order from Ye Yang to carry out a plan to infiltrate the federal forces in War Zone 59.

Hard work pays off. After a lot of twists and turns, Infinite Boy finally found a breakthrough - Huo Jiujian, the owner of Manor No. 5935.

A zombie hero working for the empire appeared before him and had a pleasant conversation with his landlord.

How could the Shovel Man not understand that the owner of the house he was loyal to had betrayed the Federation and other war estates in the war zone and joined the Empire.

But without the owner's instructions, he could only stand there motionless, keeping everything he saw in his mouth.

After all, the most profound principle engraved in the mind of every tool android is to always be loyal to the owner who activated him.

"The Empire is in great need of talents like you, Mr. Huo Jiujian. After all, the Federation will not give you such generous treatment."

Infinite Boy was all smiles, his tone full of flattery.

"Say less useless words, Mr. Infinite Man. What do you, or the empire behind you, want from me?"

Huo Jujian had a sour face, but Infinite Little Man did not show any impatience at all.

"Since Mr. Huo Jujian has said so, I will also speak frankly. Fortress No. 59 needs detailed intelligence on the federal forces in War Zone No. 59.

Whether it is the 59th Federal Army or the various war estates, as long as the intelligence is valuable, the Empire will accept it all."

"And what about the reward?"

"Depending on the value of the intelligence, the Empire will pay a corresponding reward, which can be in the form of supplies, world points, or something else.

Of course, among these, there is also the thing that you, Mr. Huo Jiujian, want the most."

When Infinite Man mentioned "that thing", some light finally appeared in Huo Jujian's dead fish eyes.

"You... No, can the Empire really give me that thing?"

"Of course, the Empire will not lie to you. After all, there is no need to lie to you. Since we are going to cooperate, both parties should be honest with each other, right?"

Infinite Boy let out a weird laugh and showed a photo he had just taken.

When he saw the man in the photo clearly, Huo Jujian couldn't help but hold his breath.

His eyes suddenly became extremely fanatical and he couldn't help but clench his fists.

“It actually… really… exists…”

Huo Jiujian's breathing became rapid. He looked up at Infinite Little Man, and a rare expression of desire was revealed in his eyes.

"In order for our future cooperation to proceed smoothly, Mr. Huo Jiujian, shouldn't you also set an example?"

Infinite Boy smiled, took out a loaded pistol and pushed it in front of Huo Jiujian.

"Our Fortress No. 59 combat laboratory is currently lacking a humanoid body that can be used for experiments..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Jujian picked up the pistol without hesitation, turned around and pulled the trigger at the Shovel Man waiting behind him.

With a gunshot, the special bullet used to deal with tool androids directly blew up the shovel android's head at such a close distance.

Huo Jujian acted so quickly and ruthlessly that the Iron Shovel android who was loyal to him lost his life before he even had time to react.

Infinite Little Man nodded, seeming very satisfied with Huo Jujian's approach.

"Well, dear Mr. Huo Jiujian, I wish you a pleasant cooperation with the Empire."
