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

Chapter 117 First Encounter with Rank 6

The scene before them seemed even more bleak.

Even though several soldiers tried their best to maintain order, they could not stop the refugees from crying out.

The cries of children, the groans of the elderly, and the angry roars of despair mingled together to create a chilling sound of despair.

Chen Yang glanced around aimlessly, then his gaze suddenly fixed on a corner.

A thin little girl with empty eyes was being held in the arms of a middle-aged woman.

Even through the chaotic crowd, Chen Yang recognized her at a glance.

She was the little girl he had bought pudding for at the dessert shop.

Back then, her eyes were full of excitement and anticipation, but now, she seems to have lost her soul.

This is Hemu Town, which Chen Yang once visited.

Although they were xenophobic, at least they lived a peaceful life.

That once peaceful place has now become this scene, which is truly heartbreaking.

"The battlefield is on the other side, everyone follow me."

The river is located in the northern part of Hemu Town.

The company was stationed in the southern part of Riverwood Town to block the zombie attack.

A soldier led Chen Yang and the others to the company's defensive line.

To the south, the plains stretched endlessly, their flat terrain laid out before you, while further on, an endless expanse of blackness shrouded everything.

That was an endless horde of corpses.

Despite their astonishing numbers, they were stuck just a hundred meters from the town and could only advance with great difficulty.

Five rows, 183 columns of dual launchers lined up, firmly guarding the south gate of the town.

Before them, the torch tree stumps glowed with a crimson light.

After passing the torch tree stump, the peas transformed into scorching fireballs, carrying devastating heat as they struck the horde of zombies.

At the forefront were trenches made of tall nuts.

Flames and ash mingled, and the zombies, their bodies pierced and burned, fell one after another, only to have the zombies in the back immediately fill the gaps and continue to advance.

The firelight reflected on Chen Yang's face, and for the first time, he truly felt what war was.

Compared to this scene, what they experienced in the garden was nothing more than trivial matters.

"How many zombies are there...?" Chi Zigao murmured, his gaze fixed on the scene.

Huangfu Qinghe frowned, a rare hint of emotion flashing across his face: "I originally thought the final wave of zombies in the garden was already pretty insane. But compared to this..."

“It’s not even worth mentioning,” Chen Yang replied.

The sheer scale of this defensive line is astonishing.

High nuts formed trenches that stretched across the entire south side of the town, with each row of five twin launchers and torch stumps forming an attack system.

The entire position was like an iron fortress, forcefully keeping the zombie horde a hundred meters away.

Even so, the sheer number of zombies is chilling.

Those dark shadows seemed endless, and despite knowing that death lay ahead, they still surged forward fearlessly.

"What are you all standing there for?! Come and help!"

A burly man stood in the center of the defensive line, brandishing his command sword, his voice booming like thunder.

He was dressed in camouflage, and the insignia on his shoulder straps revealed his identity—the company commander of the Hemu Town defense line.

Chen Yang and the others immediately realized what was happening and moved closer to him.

"The refugee evacuation is expected to take another thirty minutes, hang in there!"

The company commander roared.

Behind the defensive line, 183 ordinary soldiers were nervously directing their respective plants.

A scream rang out: "Watch out! It's the Balloon Zombie again!"

Chen Yang and the others looked up, their pupils immediately contracting.

In the distance, the sky appeared to be filled with a dense swarm of zombies, like a swarm of bees.

They had balloons tied around their waists and floated slowly towards us.

"The wind is in the balloon zombies' favor!" an intelligence soldier shouted to the company commander. "At this rate, they'll be across the battlefield in five minutes!"

The company commander's face darkened, and he roared, "Not again? Where's the cactus?"

"Report! The balloon zombie is holding up the metal door, blocking all the cactus attacks!"

"Damn it!" the company commander cursed. "How did these guys manage to fly up while holding up the iron door?! Where's Clover?!"

"Our Tier 3 Clover is cooling down! Tier 2 Clover is completely useless against these Balloon Zombies!"

The company commander gritted his teeth, his grip on the command sword almost deforming: "Damn it!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of exclamations came from the front.

"It exploded! It exploded!"

"He fell to his death!"

The company commander was taken aback and looked in the direction of the sound.

Above the defense line, a plant resembling a cat's tail grass but with several extra tails was perched on a book, floating in the air.

"Cat Pu?! How can it fly?" The company commander stared wide-eyed, utterly shocked.

Yuumi flicked its tail, and sharp spikes shot out like arrows, yet they were so agile as to seem to have eyes, bypassing the iron gates held high by the zombies and piercing straight towards the balloon.

"Whizzing--"

With the sound of spikes piercing the air, balloons were precisely popped one after another, and balloon zombies fell from the sky, crashing into the zombie horde.

Within minutes, all the balloon zombies in the air were gone.

"Pretty!"

The company commander couldn't hide his joy and patted the soldier's shoulder heavily.

Then, he noticed that the cat's tail grass slowly flew back to the group and eventually landed next to Chen Yang.

"These are your plants? You have a talent?"

The company commander stared at Chen Yang, his eyes filled with undisguised shock and curiosity.

Chen Yang nodded without saying anything more.

With the addition of ten plant-based units, the battle situation changed instantly.

Yuumi, riding a magic book, and the little mage in a flowerpot riding a pumpkin head, unleashed a ferocious attack.

Chi Zigao's Destruction Mushroom Archers displayed their might, leaving the other ordinary soldiers stunned.

Each bombing sweeps away a large vacuum zone from the zombie horde.

"Haven't seen you for a few days, and your Destroyer Mushroom Archer is already at Tier 5?"

Chen Yang was surprised.

"Hehe, I'm lucky, I got a Tier 4 upgrade card in Endless Mode."

With everyone working together, the zombies were forced to retreat.

However, everyone remained vigilant, as the situation on the battlefield could change in an instant.

An urgent shout came from behind: "Warning! A large number of high-energy entities have appeared!"

The intelligence officer's voice cut through the battlefield's noise, and everyone instinctively looked towards the end of the plain.

Amidst the horde of zombies, a row of dark figures, as large as a small mountain, gradually emerged.

Their bodies were enormous, their steps heavy, and the ground trembled with each step.

"That's a Tier 4 Giant Zombie!"

The company commander's expression darkened slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. "It's alright. We've already withstood one wave of this level of attack."

"As long as the plant defenses remain intact, they will never be able to break through."

However, moments later, the intelligence officer rushed over again, his face filled with unprecedented panic:

"Company Commander! We've detected life signals from a Tier 6 zombie!"

"Sixth level?"

The company commander frowned, his tone tinged with disbelief, "A sixth-tier unit isn't going to the front lines, but instead coming to this desolate wilderness? Are you sure the radar isn't malfunctioning!"

"His radar is fine."

A voice broke the silence; it was Huangfu Qinghe.

He stood at the edge of the defensive line, his gaze fixed on the horizon of the plain, his expression solemn.

Behind the row of giant zombies, an even taller figure gradually came into focus.

It can be estimated that this guy is over five meters tall, with muscles as bulging as rocks, gripping a thick telephone pole in each hand, and his eyes gleaming with a dark red light.

"Garganthal!"

someone exclaimed.

Gargantuar, the exclusive title for a Tier 6 Giant Zombie.

The company commander took a deep breath, his temples throbbing slightly: "How many civilians are left to be evacuated? Is there any follow-up support from headquarters?"

The intelligence officer quickly responded: "Report, there are still 357 civilians who have not been evacuated. The order from headquarters is to evacuate immediately."

Just as the company commander was about to speak, a cold voice came through the communicator in his ear:

"You are no match for level six zombies, retreat immediately!"

His brow furrowed, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield and the defensive lines, his voice tinged with hesitation:

"Sir, there are still three hundred civilians..."

"I repeat, retreat immediately!"

The commands in the communicator were firm.

The company commander was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth, and finally replied in a low voice, "Yes, sir."
