In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

Chapter 540 Targeted Strike and Widespread Spread

"Duck, what's happening on the ground?"

The violent tremors made the entire underground area increasingly dangerous, with soil and gravel constantly falling from above and crashing heavily to the bottom of the pit.

While struggling to maintain his balance, Mo Chen circulated his plant spiritual power to form a protective barrier, and asked Prometheus a question.

The latter quickly took over a reconnaissance falcon located on the ground, and after controlling it to take off, he soon got the answer to the question: "It's artillery fire, coming from the Freedom Army, the federal rebels. They've launched a new wave of attacks on the military base."

Since Mo Chen led his AI legion into the command post, the hostile AIs, who were originally under the command of the guards, have relaxed their defenses around the military base.

The regrouped Freedom Army seized the opportunity to resume its offensive, aiming to seize the various valuable spoils of war held at the military base.

"Artillery fire? Does the Free Army have artillery?"

Just as Mo Chen was feeling puzzled, the real-time footage transmitted by the reconnaissance falcon finally made him realize the truth.

Eight massive, imposing corn-cannons appeared in the Freedom Armed Forces' ranks at some unknown time.

The bright yellow corn cob shells, wrapped in emerald green corn leaves, were steadily mounted on the gun carriage.

The two crimson eyes, one on the left and one on the right, exuded an imposing and chilling aura.

No one could believe that those seemingly ordinary, plump fruits were actually cannonballs powerful enough to blast hundreds of low-level zombies into pieces.

Whether fired horizontally, projectilely, or in a fixed position, the corn cannon can inflict extremely terrifying damage.

With their support, it's no wonder the Freedom Army dared to continue attacking military bases.

But the presence of these corn cannons here can only mean one thing—a high-ranking corn cannon plant spirit has decided to personally go to the battlefield and fight alongside his soldiers.

Without even thinking, Mo Chen knew that the other party must be a high-ranking member of the Free Army who advocated for occupying the military base.

Unlike most summoned creatures that cannot move after being placed, the Corn Cannon can move on its own on the battlefield after being summoned.

The six corn cannons are a relatively common four-wheeled model, with moderate power and speed.

Even more noteworthy are the two remaining tracked models, each equipped with a missile launcher – the corn cannons.

The tracks can easily traverse various rugged terrains, while the missile launchers provide additional firepower.

For this reason, they are more flexible and powerful than four-wheeled corn cannons.

After a round of shelling, the eight corn cannons, escorted by a group of rebel soldiers, quickly arrived in front of the high wall and formed a new cannon position.

Several rebel officers immediately directed their soldiers to set up a defensive line in front of the position.

The previous round of shelling was aimed at the military base's command post and surrounding area, but it also affected the Mo Chen family's AI legion.

Now, the Freedom Army has decided to break through the wall and remove all obstacles that are blocking their way.

Although the Corn Cannon Plant Spirit was not present at the moment, he had already handed over command of the summoned creatures to his subordinates.

A watermelon pitcher carrying a grenade launcher, Zhi Ling, strode over to the corn cannons and looked around.

Once he confirmed that everything was ready, he put down the heavy howitzer and took out a signal flag.

The eight corn cannons reacted immediately upon seeing the bright red flag.

They slightly raised their cannon barrels, signaling to the watermelon pitcher spirit that they were ready to fire.

Watermelon pitcher Plant Spirit nodded, then stretched out his free hand, gave a thumbs-up to the high wall, and began to calculate the distance between the two sides.

"Target: Outer wall of military base, coordinates XXX, XXX. Prepare for a standard round of pinpoint strike!"

After completing the calculations, the watermelon pitcher, Zhi Ling, raised the signal flag and gave the order to the corn cannons.

The eight corn cannons immediately raised their barrels, adjusted their angles, and pointed their muzzles at the sky.

"fire!"

As the signal flag was forcefully swung down by the watermelon pitcher, Ue-ling, a deafening cannon shot immediately followed.

The sound was so loud that many rebel soldiers near the cannon positions were temporarily deafened.

With the roar of these corn cannons, eight corn cob shells fell from the sky like golden meteors, hitting the high wall precisely.

The immense impact swept across, sending countless popcorn flying and blasting everything on the high wall to smithereens.

The sturdy wall collapsed under the precise strike of eight shells, and the omnics responsible for guarding the high wall were reduced to scrap metal.

"Come on!"

"Take down this military base!"

"Long live the freedom and armed forces!"

With the help of eight corn cannons, the morale of the Free Army reached its peak instantly.

They surged over the ruins of the high walls like a tidal wave, heading towards the military base.

"Okay, okay, let's play like this, right?"

Mo Chen, still at the bottom of the pit, was speechless. He hadn't even finished his battle with the swarm of insects, and now the Free Army was going to barge in and cause trouble.

This is intolerable! If that's the case, then let's make the situation even more chaotic.

"Duck, thank you for your hard work in operating on two fronts from now on."

Not only must they continue their advance underground towards the insect hive, but they must also send omnics to the surface to stop the Free Army.

"Understood, Captain. Leave it to me, don't worry."

Prometheus readily accepted the task Mo Chen assigned her, and then began to demonstrate the skills of a high-level player with exceptional proficiency.

Multitasking has become the norm for her, which is the confidence unique to the most powerful artificial intelligence in the modern world.

The infected are still retreating, while the Legion omnics are advancing triumphantly towards the hive.

Meanwhile, at the military bases on the surface, the Freedom Army forces also suffered attacks from the enemy.

Under Prometheus's command, the omnic legions remaining on the surface immediately set out to intercept the rebel soldiers pouring into the military base.

The Free Armed Forces assumed that the Omnic Legion and the Omnics controlled by the Guardians were allies, and as expected, the three factions clashed in a chaotic battle.

But in this chaotic battlefield, an unexpected fourth party suddenly intervened, choosing to take the initiative and attempt to eliminate other obstructing swarms of insects.

At the same time, the infected in the passage were gradually replaced by insects, which meant that the omnic army was about to approach the location of the insect hive.

"It's chaotic, so chaotic."

Ignoring the chaotic battle at the military base, upon learning that the battle line was about to advance to the entrance of the insect hive, Mo Chen immediately summoned all the plant spirit warriors.

The group prepared to enter the passage to settle scores with the mastermind behind the swarm.

But not long after Mo Chen led several plant spirit warriors into the passage, Prometheus's warning suddenly rang in his ears:

"Captain, a massive, area-of-effect fire attack has been detected en route! Be careful!"

Before Mo Chen could react, an even more terrifying tremor swept over him, instantly making the entire passage precarious.

"Grass (a plant)!"

In the live footage transmitted by the reconnaissance falcon, a cannonball suddenly appeared in the sky above the military base.

Although there is only one shot, its volume is one hundred times that of an ordinary cannonball!

The shadow of the massive shell almost completely obscured the chaotic battlefield before it suddenly shattered, sending countless shrapnel falling precisely from the sky and crashing into the midst of the free-armed enemy.

A series of explosions followed, devastating the military base (except for the warehouse area).

The person who started all of this calmly released the fuse he was using to fire the cannon, as if he had only done something insignificant.
