I told you to plant peas, and you summon Mordekaiser?

Chen Yang's gaze was fixed on the forefront of the zombie army.

There, the burly figures of two level-five zombies stood out conspicuously.

The zombie on the left is wearing a black rugby ball armor, its dark metal surface gleaming with a chilling light.

Its helmet was pulled down very low, revealing only half of its bluish-green face.

This outfit was all too familiar to Chen Yang.

“Rand…”

Chen Yang murmured softly, his brows furrowed slightly, and cold sweat involuntarily seeped from his palms.

This zombie is the administrator of Zone 1.

Compared to his previous close encounter with Rand, Chen Yang clearly noticed that Rand's aura was now much stronger.

The zombie on the right is standing on a tall jumping pole, moving in a strange manner.

Its body is more slender than that of a normal zombie, but its limbs are extremely thin, like a dried specimen.

Each powerful jump allows him to easily leap over distances of tens of meters.

The bottom of the metal jumping pole is not flat, but a sharp triangular cone, specifically designed to pierce plants.

Each time the pole landed, it struck the ground like a drumbeat, accompanied by a slight tremor in the earth.

Despite his thin appearance, his strength as a fifth-tier zombie is beyond doubt.

Chen Yang clenched his fist slightly.

The power of a Tier 5 zombie is self-evident.

Having lived in the garden space for so long, Chen Yang has also summarized some patterns.

Plant enhancements have distinct focuses. For example, Yuumi's attack power increases significantly upon leveling up, but her health increases relatively little.

Although the Lava Nut has reached the fourth tier, its attack power is still weak, and the control effects of its hands can only play a supporting role.

Conversely, the Lava Nut's defensive capabilities are its strength, even surpassing those of a Tier 5 Yuumi.

In contrast, zombies face fewer limitations in terms of ability enhancement.

Although each zombie has its own specialty, their overall ability growth rate is generally stronger than that of plants.

This is why Chen Yang still struggled to deal with the level 4 zombies in Endless Mode, even with a level 5 Yuumi.

The two level-five zombies in front of him were beyond Chen Yang's current ability to handle.

"......"

As Chen Yang pondered, the fifth-tier jumping zombie had already entered the plant's attack range.

The plants along the entire road instantly came to life.

Peas shot out like raindrops, green dots drawing straight lines in the air, accurately targeting the jumping zombies.

Corn kernels mixed with sticky butter, cabbage mixed with watermelon, slammed down on the jumping zombie with heavy force.

These bullets intertwined to form an impenetrable barrage of fire, relentlessly raining down on the jumping zombie.

But the zombie leaped at high speed amidst the barrage of fire, managing to evade a large number of attacks. The few attacks that did hit it did little damage.

The strength of a Tier 5 zombie was now fully on display.

Without any hesitation, the players reacted quickly.

The Ice Mushroom was decisively placed down, instantly unleashing a burst of icy mist.

Ordinary zombies within the range of the cold fog were frozen into ice sculptures.

However, when the cold air touched the Jumping Zombie, it only slowed his movements down slightly.

"Useless?! Even a Tier 3 Ice Mushroom can't affect it?"

The player exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief.

At that moment, someone realized what was happening and yelled, "Use Power Beans! Tier 4 Ash Plants should be effective against Tier 5 Zombies!"

This news spread across the battlefield.

The players present who have survived to this day all know that they cannot let this jumping zombie get close to the defensive line, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

In a life-or-death situation, no player holds back.

They acted without the slightest hesitation.

Ice mushrooms, squash, and cherry bombs took turns attacking, while energy beans were thrown out one after another as if they were free.

The sounds of plants exploding, freezing, and crashing echoed, creating a chaotic web of fire around the Jumping Zombie.

The forest in front of the road was covered by various attacks in turn.

"Stop him! Don't let him get close!"

"Pay attention to defense on other fronts as well!"

"Concentrate our firepower and kill this fifth-tier monster!"

What's truly disheartening is that despite the relentless bombardment of plants, the hopping zombie only suffered minor injuries.

Butter, Ice Mushroom, and even Liu Yan's Enchanted Mushroom Archer couldn't stop it.

The Enchanted Mushroom Shooter cannot charm zombies of a higher rank than itself.

The jumping zombie gripped the jumping pole tightly with both hands, its scarlet eyes burning like flames on the battlefield.

Suddenly, it arched its body slightly, tensed its muscles, and pressed down on the bar, gathering its strength.

The next second, it leaped high into the air, rushing forward with unstoppable force.

This jump covered a distance of twenty meters.

The metal tip at the bottom of the vault bar slammed into the tall nut in front of the defense.

The nuts shattered instantly, turning into countless fragments that flew everywhere.

Countless players were furious.

"Where's the Ice Mushroom?! Is it all gone?!"

"It's no use! Even a fourth-tier Ice Mushroom can't completely freeze it; it can only slow it down a bit!"

A player screamed at the top of his lungs, his voice filled with uncontrollable terror.

"Another Tier 5 zombie has arrived!"

At that moment, someone pointed behind them in a panic, their voice trembling as it spread.

In the distance, the fifth-tier zombie Rand, clad in black rugby ball armor, was charging toward the garden defense line at an astonishing speed.

Its body was like a mobile fortress, and the heavy armor seemed to be non-existent on it, without slowing it down in the slightest.

"There are too many zombies around! We can't hold on much longer!"

More low-level zombies surged into the defensive line from all directions, filling the gaps left by the kills, forming an unstoppable torrent.

Butter, shredded leaves, and cabbage kept falling, but they couldn't keep up with the relentless onslaught of zombies.

"Nuts! Anyone have nuts? Come and get some!"

"The Chomper has been eaten!"

Does anyone have extra energy beans?

Chaotic shouts echoed across the battlefield, and the situation was on the verge of spiraling out of control.

The Tier 5 Jumping Zombie smashed two more Tall-nuts and stood atop the broken nut remains.

At this point, the player's three-row Tallnut defense line had been breached by this Jumping Zombie.

It glanced down at the debris at its feet, lowered its body slightly, and prepared to use the nut's remains as a springboard to leap forward again.

"It's over..."

"If he jumps in, everything will be over..."

Seeing its actions, the players felt as if they had fallen into an abyss, and a sense of despair quickly spread through them.

"Quick! Smash anything you can, stop him!"

"It's no use...we can't stop it..."

However, just when all the players thought the defense was about to fall, the Jumping Zombie suddenly stopped moving.

He suddenly retreated, the pole plunging into the ground, and landed steadily back among the zombie army.

Almost simultaneously, Rand, who was charging wildly, also suddenly stopped.

It stood still, its heavy armor emitting a slight metallic hum, a hint of apprehension flashing in its eyes.

A strange, ghostly wind silently rose, carrying with it a biting chill and faint wails.

There seemed to be a low whimper in the wind, like a murmur from the depths of hell, or like countless spirits speaking some forbidden language.

The zombie army also slowed down.

All the roars, footsteps, and sounds of attack seemed to have vanished from this world, leaving only that ghostly wind lingering on the battlefield.
