In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

In an alley in the slums of Hesse County.

There was still a smile on Yang's face, but the eyes behind the lenses were very sharp, staring straight at a shadow somewhere in the alley.

Joseph, realizing that they were being followed, suddenly changed his expression and immediately pulled out a Mauser pistol from his waist.

With the crisp sound of a gun being loaded, Joseph raised his pistol and pointed the muzzle at the shadow, with an expression of being ready for battle.

"Oh, how did you find me?"

Penny deliberately lowered her voice and asked back in a slightly surprised tone.

"A skill of choice to enhance your hearing, young lady."

Yang answered Penny's question very politely, pointing to her ears.

"Come out and meet us. We don't want to say this for the third time."

Joseph said coldly, his pistol was no friendlier than Yang's little face.

"Okay, I'll come out."

After a brief silence, Penny quietly appeared in front of the two of them from the shadows.

Although the other party may be related to the incident she is investigating, Penny does not want to conflict with these two good people who are willing to distribute bread to poor people.

When they saw who was following them, a hint of surprise flashed in Yang and Joseph's eyes.

Purple cape and eye mask, green hair and eyes, and the glittering golden medal on the chest...

The two SPC cadres had not expected that the person following them would be a plant spirit hero.

"It's the Plant Spirit Hero..."

Joseph snorted coldly, but slightly shifted the muzzle of his gun.

"You are...Green Shadow?"

Yang frowned and tentatively revealed Penny's identity.

After all, among all the plant spirits in the modern world, almost everyone knows the famous name of Green Shadow.

This chivalrous hero, who was a pea plant spirit, used his mysterious shadow magic to leave behind a green shadow legend in the modern world that is still dazzling hundreds of years later.

For a long time, the Green Shadow has been regarded as the patron saint of the people and always stands on the side of the people.

In the eyes of the World Communist Party, even if Green Shadow joined the Plant Hero Association and worked for the already corrupt Federation, he was still a target worth winning over.

But they also know that the Green Shadow today is not the great first generation, but his family descendant.

I wonder if this lady of green shadow has inherited her family’s traditions and beliefs and always stood on the side of the people.

Yang thought to herself as she continued to remain alert, always watching Penny's every move.

The purpose of the other party's visit is still unknown, but it is very likely that they are here to investigate the truth behind the demonstrations in Hesse County.

As the famine problem in Hesse County became more serious, the people who lacked food suffered terribly.

As soon as the famine broke out, the members of the World Communist Party deployed in Hesse County immediately reported to their superiors and took countermeasures.

Under the operation of the World Communist Party, two cadres (Yang and Joseph) led a small amount of food and personnel to the Hesse County City to rescue the people.

At the same time, the World Communist Party also spread the news to all parts of the modern world through various channels, and contacted the governments of Longan and Vodkagrad, successfully obtaining food aid for the Hessen County City.

During this period, the people of Hesse County City spontaneously held several marches and demonstrations to express and vent their dissatisfaction with the Hesse County City government.

Members of the World Communist Party in Hesse County also actively participated in it, guiding and leading the people to carry out activities.

As is the federal government's usual nature, the famine problem is nothing to worry about in the eyes of those termites. It is nothing more than the death of some lower-class civilians.

On the contrary, it is the marches and demonstrations that involve millions of people gathering together that are very likely to shake the rule of the top leaders.

As the second largest industrial city in the Federation, Hesse County City naturally needs to be firmly controlled.

With this in mind, it is quite reasonable for the Federation to send a plant spirit hero to investigate the ins and outs of this matter.

"Well... I'm the Green Shadow. Or rather, the modern Green Shadow. I'm sure you've heard of this title."

Penny did not hide anything and went straight to the point, telling Yang and Joseph her identity.

"Are you distributing food to the civilians in Hessen County?"

Penny's gaze passed over Yang and Joseph and rested on the empty cart behind them.

"Yes, Miss Green Shadow, the people of Hessen County are very hungry, and they need enough food to fill their stomachs."

Yang answered Penny's question neither humbly nor arrogantly, and the look behind the lenses softened.

"Now, the price of a pound of the most common black bread has been driven up to 5,000 world points by profiteers, but the government of Hessen County City has done nothing and has not thought about how to solve the famine problem in this city."

Joseph suppressed his anger and angrily took back the pistol.

He spat fiercely, not trying to hide his disgust for certain parts of the city beneath his feet.

"Miss Green Shadow came from the central city. I'm sure you've witnessed the current state of the city, right?"

“Yeah, I did see a lot.”

"But I can see that you want to know more."

Yang took off his glasses, wiped them gently, and put them back on his nose.

"For example... why did we come here with food, why did we distribute food to the people, and why did we participate in the demonstrations?"

Penny's thoughts were revealed by Yang, and she was a little surprised for a moment.

From the conversation she heard when she was tracking the two people, Penny clearly knew that Yang and Joseph, or the organization they belonged to, did participate in the demonstrations and played a dominant role in them.

The main task assigned to her and Nora by the Federal Parliament was to conduct an in-depth investigation of this organization.

But the fact that the other party could see through his purpose so easily showed that he was really capable.

This trip to Hesse County City did give Penny something to think about.

She was deeply moved by what she saw and heard during the journey.

Penny began to come into contact with things that she had once ignored or even cared about.

As this generation's Green Shadow, when Penny took over the medal from her father, she had already lost her direction in life.

She didn't know what the so-called chivalrous spirit meant, and she also lost her chivalrous spirit.

During her years of heroic career, Penny gradually began to doubt the concept of "hero".

Is the current Green Shadow the people's Green Shadow or a pawn of the federal high-level officials?

After the outbreak of the Second Garden War, in what state did she go through to slightly disobey her superiors' orders and quietly rescue several refugees?

During the trial against Lucky Wind several years ago, what was Penny, also a plant spirit hero, thinking when she cast her vote of abstention in the court?

It was not until she met members of the World Communist Party who were distributing bread in the slums that Penny gradually found an unclear path.

She suddenly had a premonition that if she continued along this path, perhaps she would be able to bring about a radical change.

"If you want to know more, please come with us. Perhaps, we will have a lot in common."

Yang smiled slightly and extended an invitation to Penny.

"Okay, let's go."

Penny readily accepted Yang's invitation and quickly caught up with the two World Communist Party cadres.
