In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

Following the direction Himiko was pointing, Mo Chen felt his sanity level drop significantly.

How can one describe such a twisted existence? A bizarre brain parasitizing a computer?

That brain was actually a mutated worm named "Brain Worm".

These leader worms are the true rulers of the swarm. They possess extremely high intelligence and learning ability, and can command or completely control the swarm's actions by emitting brainwaves.

If you encounter a swarm of insects in the ruined city, simply eliminating the leader of the swarm will cause it to disintegrate.

The worm that appeared before Mo Chen was clearly the leader of all the worms in this worm nest.

For some reason, it has now merged with a computer equipped with an artificial intelligence "guardian".

This enormous and deformed mass of flesh seemed to be breathing, its surface undulating.

It embedded its body firmly into the computer's metal casing, standing tall at the highest point of the insect hive.

The outer layer is covered by a translucent biological membrane, beneath which are layers of neural networks and electronic circuits.

The eerie interplay of ghostly green and scarlet light resembled a living circuit board.

The rusty metal frame was corroded and enveloped by the biomass of the primordial worm itself, transforming into the supporting structure of this twisted creation.

Hundreds of repulsive tentacles, covered in layers of hard chitinous scales, entwine and cling to the rocks and countless cocoons like vines, constantly drawing nutrients from which they depend for survival.

A fragmented human face vaguely emerged, a projection of the guard's remaining consciousness, only now it was hideous.

Its eyes are covered by compound eyes, and its mouth has been replaced by mouthparts; it has completely fallen under the control of insects.

The combination of omnipotent machines and insect swarms (hereinafter referred to as omnipotent insects) cannot be described as a masterpiece of nature, but rather as a whimsical creation of this garden planet.

Has there been any precedent for this situation before?

Mo Chen swallowed hard, trying to calm himself down, and asked Himiko beside him.

"Never before, homeowner. There are no related cases in the War Courtyard's database. I also never saw anything like it during my service with the Red Flame Special Forces."

Himiko silently gripped the hilt of her sword, her expression more serious than ever before.

"Is that so? I understand."

Mo Chen took a deep breath and gripped the knight's sword, which gleamed with a cold light, in his hand.

"To deal with the leader worm, we must carry out a decapitation strike. We don't have many opportunities. Once we fail, it will be difficult to have a second chance."

"Yes, homeowner, please give the instructions."

Himiko, now in her peak burning state, nodded and drew her greatsword, ready for battle.

"Don't be stingy, there's plenty of sunshine energy!"

Mo Chen casually tossed three portions of sunlight from the bottle to Himiko, then took out a handful of gem powder and sprinkled it on the knight's sword.

"It's been a long time since we've fought such a fruitful battle."

Himiko uttered a sarcastic remark, then suddenly exerted her strength, crushing all three bottles of sunlight.

A flash of bright sunlight energy condensed into dozens of cards, which Himiko then threw out.

Many fiery peppers fell from the sky, bursting into flames and forming dozens of crisscrossing walls of fire, directly dividing the insect nest into more than a dozen areas.

Many insects and infected people were tainted by the inextinguishable flames, and pitiful screams and groans continued one after another.

Their bodies turned to ashes in the fire, filling the entire insect hive with a strong, acrid smell.

"The Flame of Protection!"

The white flames, which were beneficial and harmless to their bodies, ignited on Mo Chen and Himiko, allowing them to pass through the walls of fire unharmed.

"Homeowner, leave the clearing to me."

"it is good."

Himiko, leading the charge, wielded her greatsword and charged into the swarm of insects, unleashing a barrage of scorching slashes and fiery sword techniques.

Even the thick maggots with outstanding defensive capabilities would be instantly killed by this Crimson Instructor.

Himiko wreaked havoc among the insect swarms, and almost no insect could stop her advance.

Behind her, Mo Chen, who had entered Ender Movement mode, seized the opportunity and sped toward the location of the mechanical insect.

"Xia Guanghui Slash!"

A dazzling sword light flashed, and several fast-moving lightning mantises were cut in half at the waist by Mo Chen's knight's sword.

He raised his hand to cast a gem protection on Himiko, and then unleashed another slash imbued with triple-attribute plant spirit power.

Several fearless longhorn beetles that had been blocking the mechanical insects' path, trying to stop Mo Chen, were instantly shattered by this attack.

Mo Chen and Himiko worked together seamlessly, and within seconds, the distance between them and the mechanical insects grew shorter and shorter.

"Integration...Evolution...Ascension...Unification..."

A twisted whisper devoid of any emotion echoed in his mind's sea. Sensing the threat, the mechanical insect frantically waved its tentacles, accelerating the continuous transmission of brainwaves.

Under its control, countless insects and infected rushed towards Mo Chen and Himiko like madmen, trying to stop them from getting close to the mechanical insects at all costs.

"Is that all you've got? That's far from enough!"

One fiery chili pepper after another was summoned by Mo Chen, burning away the enemies blocking his path.

Seeing this, the mechanical insect quickly responded, its piercing shriek emanating from its body and transforming into invisible sound waves that attacked the two of them.

At the same time, the tentacles, controlled by the mechanical insects, swept over, releasing terrifying high-voltage currents.

"God falls!"

A colossal fiery giant, wielding a flaming greatsword, gradually took shape behind Himiko.

The burning blade slashed down, and a fireball as bright as the sun fell from the top of the insect hive, neutralizing the sound waves and electricity while sweeping away the surrounding insects and infected.

At the center of the insect nest, there was a completely empty vacuum area.

Faced with such terrifying destructive power, even those enemies who managed to dig downwards in time could not escape the several fire tornadoes that appeared afterward to finish them off.

With no other insects or infected around to protect it, this was the perfect opportunity to destroy this twisted creation.

Let's party!

Mo Chen's figure appeared in mid-air, and the object he carried on his shoulder was a Destruction Mushroom rocket launcher from the old era.

The rocket launcher was aimed at the mechanical bug in front, and a Doom Mushroom (the rocket launcher's own rocket) was already loaded into the chamber.

Mo Chen was a little excited as he used this plant weapon for the first time.

When the crosshair aligned with the mechanical bug, he didn't hesitate and forcefully pulled the trigger of the rocket launcher.

"Now, remember to say goodnight to the modern world!"

With a deafening roar, a Doom Mushroom rocket streaked through the air, leaving a trail of smoke as it arced gracefully through the air.

A few seconds later, an enormous blackish-purple mushroom cloud rose up, causing the entire insect hive to tremble violently.

On the ground, Fyodor, who was about to enter the military base, stumbled and almost got knocked to the ground by the sudden earthquake.

Fortunately, he managed to draw the weapon from his waist in time to support his body, which prevented him from losing his composure.

[A violent tremor? Originating from underground?]

Fyodor adjusted his slightly askew beret and looked thoughtfully at the ground.

He didn't notice that a faint blue light had appeared not far behind him.
