In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

Johnson didn't dare to slack off at all and hurriedly ran towards the community.

Odin strode down from the high platform where he was preparing for battle and stepped into the battlefield in the backyard.

Upon seeing him appear, the plant warriors seemed to have found their pillar of support and flocked to the old general's side.

The explanation of the fog's appearance eased the tense atmosphere somewhat.

"General Odin, what should we do now?"

Philian gripped Ivy's hand tightly and asked Odin anxiously.

"Stay vigilant."

Odin drew his command sword from his waist and began to charge his prosthetic limb.

"Yes."

Odin issued the instructions methodically, and the plant warriors sprang into action.

Angela threw out a card and placed her summoned creatures, and the Sun Mushrooms continued to grow and collect sunlight energy.

Philian led Ivy back to the high platform and began to put on their combat protective suits.

Odin and Kevin climbed the wall of the backyard battlefield together, looking out at the ruined city streets beyond the war garden.

A hazy mist spread out, shrouding the streets and buildings in a mysterious veil.

"No abnormalities have been detected so far, General Odin."

Kaiwen channeled her plant spirit power into her eyes, calmly observing the courtyard and checking every suspicious spot.

Although the darkness and fog significantly impaired visibility, a skilled Blue Ice Special Forces soldier's excellent perception relies on more than just his eyes.

"There seems to be...some strange sound."

After listening intently for a while, Kaiwen suddenly turned her head and reported her discovery to Odin.

"A strange...sound?"

Odin frowned, a bad feeling creeping into his heart: "What was that sounding like?"

"Hmm...it looks a bit like a flying object?"

Circulating her plant spirit power to enhance her ears, Kaiwen tried hard to discern the strange sounds entering her ears before giving a response.

"Flying objects? In foggy weather? Maybe they're the bee-eye mechs we deployed in the ruined city."

Before the recent rainy night attack, Courtyard 5905 had dispatched a number of Bee-Eye mechs into the ruined city to monitor the situation around the courtyard.

Even though many of them were discovered and destroyed by the attacking Imperial forces, a number of mechs were subsequently added to continue the surveillance.

Kaiwen scratched her head awkwardly: "So it was our mech? Sorry, I must have misheard."

"Wait, Kaiwen, what kind of sound did you hear?"

"It's sometimes big, sometimes small, like it's moving."

Upon hearing what Kaiwen said, Odin's expression instantly turned serious.

There are indeed some mechs near courtyard number 5905, and they are responsible for monitoring the area around the courtyard.

However, the positions of these mechs are fixed and they are not moved; they will only hover in place and will not move.

This only means one thing—the sound of the flying object that Kaiwen heard did not come from the mechs in courtyard 5905.

But before Odin could contact Xiaoda, her call was sent to Odin's personal terminal first.

"General Odin, there's news about BeeEye Networks."

"What happened, Lady Wisdom Tree?"

"Many mechs have been affected by unknown interference and have lost contact with the courtyard. The remaining mechs are also transmitting blurry images due to the foggy weather."

"Unexplained interference? By the way, Ms. Wisdom Tree, are there any machine soldiers moving around right now?"

"No, the mechs who are still in contact with the courtyard are staying in place and have not changed their positions."

Having received Xiao Da's affirmative reply, and knowing that the mechs used to monitor the abandoned city in courtyard 5905 had been interfered with, Odin could basically conclude that this was done intentionally.

Within Sector 59, only Imperial forces attempting to invade the courtyard would do such a thing.

"General Odin, look at that thing in the sky!"

Kaiwen suddenly exclaimed, bringing the old general back to his senses.

He looked up in the direction Kaiwen pointed and saw something flying in the sky, deliberately keeping a certain distance from the courtyard below at number 5905.

"This shape looks so familiar, it's like a..."

"A head!"

Coincidentally, the Imperial Army does indeed possess something that sounds like an urban legend: "flying heads." These are drones manufactured and controlled by Imperial engineers.

This drone is shaped like the head of an engineer zombie and is generally used for high-altitude reconnaissance and to provide additional fire support.

The top part is an engineering cap with a propeller attached, and the bottom part is a large head equipped with an automatic machine gun.

It is worth mentioning that the Imperial engineers basically used their own appearance as a reference when designing and manufacturing these drones that look almost identical to themselves.

While showcasing their perverse tastes, they also inflict considerable mental pollution on their opponents.

The drone, clearly an Imperial product, noticed that Kevin and Odin below had spotted it and immediately swooped down.

The two plant warriors not only saw the drone's appearance, but also noticed the automatic machine gun that was heating up beneath it.

Without a second thought, Kaiwen immediately activated her plant spirit power to create an ice wall, blocking her and Odin's path.

Bullets flew in, leaving dozens of bullet holes in the ice wall.

The drone seized the opportunity and fled, disappearing into the fog.

Odin immediately turned around and walked down the wall, leading Kaiwen back to the battlefield in the backyard. He shouted to the plant warriors, "Prepare for battle, the enemy is coming."

It is certain that an unspecified number of Imperial troops are currently near the courtyard, and this drone is the vanguard sent by the Imperial troops to scout courtyard number 5905.

These enemies may be reconnaissance units dispatched by the Imperial 59th Army specifically targeting Courtyard 5905.

The presence of drones also confirmed that at least one Imperial engineer was among the reconnaissance troops.

"Imperial engineers are enemies that Courtyard 5905 has never encountered before..."

After hearing Odin's assessment, Angela couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Although they usually stay in the rear to provide support, there are quite a few Imperial engineers who participate in frontline combat. I estimate that there will be a tough battle tonight."

Odin pulled his hat brim down and sighed with a hint of helplessness.

Light footsteps came from the high platform, and then a lantern was raised high by the newcomer.

The bright lights instantly dispelled much of the fog, restoring the plant warriors' vision.

"Everyone, can we see it more clearly now?"

Christine put down her lantern, and her gentle, sweet voice rang in the ears of the plant warriors.

Behind her, besides Johnson carrying the kinetic hammer, were several plant warriors who had come to provide support.

Euphemia licked her lips, seemingly very much looking forward to the delicious meals that would be served to her later.

The taciturn Gregory followed closely behind, gently lowering the tower shield in his hand.

Ye He immediately boarded his patrol boat and began warming up the engine, as was his usual practice.

The machine gun squad was also fully assembled and was now on standby on the high platform.

The plant warriors had assembled and were ready to face the impending invasion.
