In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

"Open the door!"

The two demolition machines received the order and went forward to slam the door hard.

The heavy iron balls hit the door one after another, quickly destroying the two doors protecting the control center.

A hound rushed into the control center and ran around the entire space several times without being attacked by the enemy.

After confirming that there was no threat, Mo Chen, feeling temporarily relieved, led the plant spirit warriors into the control center of the command center.

Himiko walked in front with a big sword on her shoulder. If there was any danger, she would be the first to stand in front.

Anton and Williams stood on both sides, covering the group's progress. They looked around with vigilance, fearing that a hostile intelligent machine would suddenly appear in some corner.

The other plant spirit warriors followed closely behind Mo Chen, also holding weapons and ready for battle.

Many years ago, this place was the core of the military base under their feet. Countless military orders were issued from here, mobilizing soldiers from the entire base to go to the battlefield.

However, things are different now. The military base has long been deserted, and a group of awakened intelligent machines have taken advantage of the opportunity to move in and occupy its place.

Mo Chen looked around the control center and his gaze stopped at a very incongruous place.

There should have been something there, but now there is nothing.

"Strange, look, isn't there supposed to be something there?"

The group of plant spirit warriors looked in the direction of Mo Chen's finger and indeed noticed something unusual.

"It looks like there was supposed to be some equipment here..."

Himiko carefully observed the metal floor and soon discovered many traces left on it.

It seemed as if something very heavy was being dragged and moved with great force.

"Maybe a computer or something..."

Anton looked at the blacked-out displays on the wall, lost in thought.

Williams scratched his head and said, "Logically, the guards should be here."

"But it's not here."

Si Bo Ke shrugged, turning everyone's attention back to the strange open space.

"That's right, the missing things are the guards!"

Mo Chen, who suddenly realized something, slapped his forehead, then walked to the open space and squatted down.

His fingertips traced the remaining drag marks on the floor, and he said with certainty, "The disappearance of the guards is definitely not accidental. This removed device might be its carrier."

Ford, perplexed, asked, "But who moved the Guardian away? Did it give the other omnics an order?"

"I can't rule out this possibility... But if the guards left on their own accord, where could they have gone?"

Outside the command center was Mo Chen's army of intelligent machines, which had surrounded the building tightly.

Inside the command center, Prometheus has arranged for intelligent machines to check each room one by one.

It is impossible for the Guardian to leave this base and go somewhere else, so where did it go? This is a very critical question.

"The traces...disappeared?"

Following the traces on the ground, Ji Bing walked to the center of the control center.

Noticing that the traces disappeared here, she tilted her head and observed the floor under her feet, which seemed to be fine.

Soon, the perceptive Ji Bing noticed something was wrong.

Compared with other floors, this floor located in the center of the entire space has obvious signs of new installation around it.

It was like the floor had been lifted up, and then something put it back down.

After this thought popped up in his mind, Ji Bing hesitated for a few seconds, then stretched out his hand and released the plant spiritual power to explore under the floor.

Then, Ji Bing, shocked by the results of the investigation, took several steps back, instantly attracting the attention of others.

"Xiao Bing?"

Himiko's body reacted subconsciously and she suddenly clenched the sword in her hand.

Then, the ground of the entire control center suddenly sank.

"Everyone, be careful!"

The harsh sound of metal tearing rang in everyone's ears, mixed with Mo Chen's warning.

The ground of the control center cracked and collapsed like a broken puzzle.

Countless broken metal pieces and concrete slabs flew everywhere, and the affected lights went out, and darkness instantly obscured the vision.

Everyone felt a sense of weightlessness and their bodies fell downward at a high speed. Dust and sand were also lifted up by the huge force and fell down together.

The space underground of the command center's control center was actually hollowed out!

The moment he fell, Mo Chen directly entered the Enderman Sprint state, and his figure quickly shuttled between the ruins that were falling at the same time.

He stopped briefly on a concrete slab, and scanned the surroundings with his eyes blessed with plant spirit power. He soon found the traces of the plant spirit warriors.

Himiko and Ji Bing were relatively relaxed. Coming from special forces, they were agile and quickly maintained their balance in mid-air.

The burning sword lit up a dazzling fire in the darkness, and the scorching flames slashed hard at the ground, directly clearing out a landing area.

Himiko landed smoothly on the ground and swung her sword upwards again, accurately clearing the falling object above her head.

The air was filled with cold air, and with a flash of a knife, Ji Bing, holding the Snow Burial Frost Feather that had been unsheathed in time, chopped the ruins beside him into pieces and froze them.

A smooth ice slope quickly formed, allowing Ji Bing to reach the ground safely.

As for the other five plant spirit warriors, they really had no words to grievance.

Their strength was not as strong as the two special forces soldiers, and they tried their best to maintain a balanced falling posture in mid-air.

A few ender particles flashed by, and Mo Chen teleported to Anton's side, grabbed the latter's shoulders, and sent him into the secret space for refuge.

He then used the same trick again and successfully rescued Ford and Siboko.

Himiko, who was in the landing area, raised her head and instantly locked onto Nata's position.

She plunged the sword into the ground, used her legs to leap up, grabbed the frightened Nata, and brought her steadily to the ground.

As for Williams, he happened to land on the slope created by Ji Bing and slid to the ground smoothly, but he had a few bruises on his body.

Mo Chen appeared out of thin air and landed on the ground, bringing the three plant spirit warriors he had sent into the secret space back to reality. He immediately asked loudly, "Are you all okay?"

"No problem."

Himiko gently put down the unharmed Nata and reported to Mo Chen.

"A little bruise."

Ji Bing sheathed the Snow Buried Frost Feather, covered his left wrist with his right hand, which was constantly releasing cold air, and his expression was calm.

"I got hit, it hurts a bit."

"Me too."

"Me too."

The remaining plant spirit warriors smiled bitterly. Each of them was injured, but fortunately they were all minor injuries and not life-threatening.

【Thankfully, the response was quick and no major casualties were caused.】

Mo Chen took a deep breath and quickly made arrangements: "Himiko and Nata, stay alert. Everyone else, come here. I will heal you."

A warm green light shone from his hand, and a spiritual bud creation hit Anton's broken arm.

"Nata?"

"Understood, Major Himiko."

While Mo Chen was treating the plant spirit warriors, Himiko pulled out the greatsword that had been inserted into the ground, raised her hand to ignite a cluster of flames, and looked at the environment underground.

This place looks like a nest built by a creature that is good at digging. There are several passages on the wall of the pit that lead to unknown destinations.

Nata pulled out two daggers and looked up, vaguely seeing the ceiling of the control center.

Several Legion Omnics gathered around the pit, probably thinking about how to get to the bottom of the pit and rescue everyone.

Suddenly, a sound was heard from the bottom of the silent pit, causing Himiko and Nata to look at each other warily and tighten their weapons.

The sound grew louder and louder, and when you listened carefully, it seemed to be no different from the flapping of insect wings.
