In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

After closing and opening his eyes three times, Mo Chen finally woke up and returned to reality.

The candles used for lighting have burned out, and the morning light shines into the shop through the cracks.

Time passed quietly, and now it was dawn.

Fortunately, nothing unusual happened until the night passed, allowing the plant spirit warriors of the exploration team to have a good sleep.

The one in charge of the last night watch was Himiko. She was leaning against the door, glancing outside the shop from time to time.

Noticing that Mo Chen had woken up, she turned around and nodded to her owner, then continued to observe the situation around the store.

“It really is a dream…”

Mo Chen muttered to himself and put the cold-proof blanket on his body into the secret space.

He stood up and stretched his numb body, but a pair of charming colorful eyes appeared in his mind.

At some point, Mo Chen's hand had already gently stroked the ring on the ring finger of his left hand.

He stood there in a daze for a long time, without saying a word, just immersed in his memories.

Everything except the eyes and the name became blurry.

"Adele...will we meet again?"

"Adele? Who is Adele? Is she your lover?"

The sudden questioning voice startled the unsuspecting Mo Chen.

Turning around, the culprit was Ford who had woken up at some point.

This silly guy has big buck teeth and a silly smile on his face. No one knows what's going on in his mind.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you guy?"

Anton skillfully and helplessly grabbed Ford's collar and pulled the latter to the corner.

Ford's strange cry followed, mixed with Anton's nagging: "If Ms. Rosemary hears this, you'll be in trouble!"

Rosemary... shouldn't be so easily jealous... shouldn't she...

Mo Chen couldn't help but scratch his head, and then broke out in a cold sweat.

Forget it, it’s better not to think too deeply about this issue.

Several other plant spirit warriors have also woken up and are tidying up their clothes or packing their equipment.

"Get ready to go, target military base!"

Seeing that everyone was ready to go, Mo Chen directly gave the order to continue moving forward.

By the way, the rebel soldier who "turned from darkness to light" also temporarily joined the team.

······

Stopping and walking along the way, the exploration team of Courtyard No. 5905 cleared out a lot of low-level zombies and abandoned city monsters.

At noon, the distance to the military base was finally only the last three kilometers.

Thanks to the big sun in the sky, many low-level zombies hid in the shadows instead of standing or wandering in the middle of the street.

Not having to focus on dealing with the enemy made the journey a lot easier.

After a quick march for a while, Mo Chen wiped his sweat and opened the terminal to check the time:

"It's 12:34 AM now. Try to make it to the military base before 1:20 PM."

"As long as there are no enemies blocking the way, we might be able to arrive a few minutes earlier."

Siboko made a very optimistic estimate, and Nata and Anton also agreed.

"The enemies we have to deal with now are more than just low-level zombies and abandoned city monsters."

Himiko poured a bucket of cold water on everyone, making several plant spirit warriors realize that there was another force on their enemy list.

The weed spirit named Williams suddenly interjected, "There might be quite a few of my former comrades near the military base. Ah, I mean, the rebels."

Before he could finish his words, the former Confederate corporal, who had been a rebel not long ago, scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Corporal Williams, do you know how many people the Freedom Force has deployed near the military base?"

If the number of people is not too large, they can easily handle it with their strength.

Of course, ideals are full of hope, but reality is very skinny.

"I remember the platoon leader said that the infantry regiment his brother belonged to seemed to have been sent out by the higher-ups..."

Williams thought for a moment, then gave an ambiguous answer.

After hearing this, Mo Chen was a little troubled: "A regiment, there must be at least 1,500 people."

Although Sister Himiko can destroy a horde of more than 3,000 low-level zombies with one move, the rebels are no match for the low-level zombies.

After all, there are many veterans among them who have fought in the battlefield and experienced the cruelty of war.

Even if you have never fought in a war, you must have received the necessary military training.

Unlike the brainless low-level zombies that just rush forward, Chun Chun is a moving target.

Such an opponent is not easy to deal with at all.

In total, there are only eight people in the exploration team of Courtyard 5905.

Even with powerful fighters like Ji Bing and Himiko, it would be difficult to deal with an army of at least a regiment without any injuries.

"Speaking of which, could we disguise ourselves as rebels and approach the military base? Using Senior Williams' identity as cover, perhaps we could avoid a fight with the rebels."

The proposal from Ford is very attractive, and according to him, it does have a high probability of success.

The only apparent problem is that Williams's status in the Rebels is too low.

However, Williams was the first to reject Ford's proposal: "There is no one as conspicuous as you in the Freedom Armed Forces!"

He spread his hands helplessly and pointed at Mo Chen and the four plant spirit warriors.

Needless to say, there was not even a single human being among the rebels.

Ji Bing and Himiko were obviously from the special forces, which was too conspicuous. The special forces soldiers who defected from the Federation were all notorious and had no need to disguise themselves.

As for Nata and Siboko... a cactus plant spirit with a Ural face, and a thorn plant spirit located by a medic. They are too unconventional and there is basically no possibility of being difficult to recognize them.

In Williams' opinion, except for Anton and Ford, it would be difficult for anyone else in the exploration team of Courtyard 5905 to disguise themselves as rebels.

"Wait, I have a way. We can ignore the rebels along the way and quickly approach the military base."

Mo Chen suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of everyone present.

Himiko wondered, "Then what should we do?"

"It's very simple. I only ask everyone to do one thing: keep what happens next confidential."

Mo Chen's gaze lingered for a moment on Williams, who had just joined the team, and then he continued, "Are you ready?"

"I see···"

Ji Bing's eyes lit up, as if he remembered something, and the speed at which his fingers turned the claw knife became much faster.

Although the other plant spirit warriors and Williams were very curious about what method Mo Chen had, their qualities as federal soldiers prevented them from asking.

"This is also the first attempt, it should be feasible."

Mo Chen took a deep breath and then stretched out his left hand.

On his left wrist, a diamond-shaped tattoo suddenly lit up, followed by a burst of dazzling light.

“Relax and don’t resist.”

The light gradually dissipated, and the figures of the six plant spirit warriors and Williams disappeared.

When they opened their eyes, they found themselves in a colorful and vibrant world.

Himiko, who was the first to react, immediately raised her sword and looked around in a state of alert: "Where is this?"

"Don't get excited, Sister Himiko. This is a secret place controlled by the owner of this house, codenamed 'Bejeweled'."

Ji Bing, who had been to the secret realm, immediately stopped the excited Himiko and explained to the other plant spirit warriors and Williams.

Ford exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, a secret place full of gems!"

Si Bo Ke exclaimed in amazement: "Incredible, really incredible."

Williams was stunned. After a long while, he finally uttered a sigh: "God of the Burning Sun!"

······

Only after sending all members of his exploration team into the secret realm did Mo Chen breathe a sigh of relief.

I never thought that this method would work.

Let the exploration team enter the secret realm, then use Ender Run yourself, and after arriving at the military base, bring everyone out of the secret realm.

The only thing we need to worry about is the confidentiality issue afterwards.

However, Mo Chen was very confident in the loyalty of his own plant spirit warriors.

As for Williams, if the corporal knew what was happening, he would never make such a stupid mistake.

"Military base, get ready to welcome your new master!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Chen's figure disappeared from the spot, leaving behind only some ender particles that would soon dissipate.
