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

Two hours ago, at the Nanshan Military Region headquarters,

The headquarters of the Nanshan Military Region stands quietly among the mountains, like an iron castle, relying on the natural barrier of the mountains to isolate it from external dangers.

This is the war hub in the southern part of the human world, storing strategic materials to support the war effort, and also the gathering place for all commanders.

It can be said that this military region maintained the operation of the entire southern war effort.

Steel streetlights hang from the high walls of the base, their cold beams piercing the thin mist and illuminating the distant mountain road clearly.

Despite the constant zombie hordes, this place has never faced a real threat.

As dusk fell, dark clouds loomed overhead.

The continuous mountain ranges lie dormant like giant beasts.

The air was somewhat muggy, with occasional gusts of cold wind blowing by.

The guards chatted idly in their sentry post, occasionally yawning, completely unaware of the danger lurking in the darkness.

A group of soldiers were escorting a supply wagon slowly toward the southwest gate.

The group was dressed neatly, marched in unison, and moved forward in silence.

The guards stopped them, checked their passes as usual, and then waved them through.

The moment the convoy entered the base, the soldier at the front suddenly stopped, looked up, and a strange red light flashed in his eyes.

"Click——"

The next moment, his face began to contort, and his muscles tore.

Its entire head had turned into a zombie-like shape!

Corpse Cult!

A zombie fanatic lurking among humans!

With a sharp howl, the "soldiers" in the group all transformed into their zombified forms and pounced on the unsuspecting guards.

A piercing scream echoed around the base, and amidst the splattering blood, the defensive line was instantly breached.

The plants in the convoy also began to awaken, and various stunted plants bombarded the unprepared machine gunners' defense team.

At the same time, explosions suddenly rang out in other areas surrounding the base.

Members of the Corpse Cult, lying in ambush, emerged from their hiding places and, together with traitors lurking inside the base, created immense chaos in a short period of time.

Communication equipment was cut off at some unknown time, and the alarm system failed to activate for a long time, plunging the base into chaos.

Under the cover of night, the Corpse Cult's offensive surged forth like a raging tide.

Small groups of elite zombified individuals mingled within the human defense perimeter, using the chaos as cover to quietly infiltrate the depths of the base.

Plant reserve storage areas are the primary target.

"boom!"

A deafening roar ripped through the night sky, and towering flames instantly engulfed the building.

Immediately afterwards, explosions rang out one after another, and the huge shockwaves made the earth tremble slightly.

The lights in the command center suddenly went out, and the communication equipment completely failed due to strong interference, paralyzing the dispatch capability.

And all of this was just the beginning of the chaos.

Lieutenant Said, the deputy commander of the Nanshan Military Region, rushed out of the room, glaring furiously at the headquarters filled with gunpowder smoke.

"Damn it! How did the Corpse Cult members infiltrate?"

The only Tier 8 commander stationed at the Nanshan Military Region's defense line, King Steel Tooth Flower, will be heading to the forbidden area tonight to carry out a special mission.

As fate would have it, the Corpse Cult launched its attack at that very moment.

Said's face was ashen, but he quickly realized, "There's a traitor in the Nanshan Military Region!"

But the situation was urgent, and his first priority was dealing with the attack at hand.

"Sir, the alarm system has been destroyed, and external communication has been blocked." A soldier rushed over.

Ignoring him, Seid strode deeper into the fortress.

Three floors underground.

Countless people dressed in white robes were scrambling around here.

Seid kicked the door open. "Activate Plan Zero!"

"Lieutenant Ced?!" The men all looked embarrassed when they heard Ced's words.

"The seventh-tier plants stationed at the fortress have already made their move; the Corpse Cult will soon be..."

"They know our strengths and weaknesses; they can't possibly be unprepared for a seventh-tier enemy. Enough talk! Activate Contingency Plan Zero!"

"But... only the Commander-in-Chief can access Contingency Plan Zero... with your authorization..."

"Shut up, use it!"

Seid didn't want to say another word.

He knew how urgent the situation was.

"If anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility!"

Upon hearing this, the figures in white robes walked deeper into the laboratory and began preparing 'Plan Zero'.

Is it really that serious?

Seeing that Seid breathed a sigh of relief, a sergeant beside him cautiously inquired.

"Lieutenant Seid, the seventh-tier Star River Yangtao and Frost Archer have gone to suppress the cult, and the firepower of the Corpse Cult has been initially suppressed."

"No...you don't understand, the Corpse Cult Bishop doesn't launch meaningless attacks..."

Said said in a deep voice, "After lying low for so long, no one knows exactly how much power the Corpse Cult has accumulated."

At this moment, the Corpse Cult members hidden inside the base finally revealed their fangs.

They had been hiding in the Nanshan Military Region for many years and were familiar with every corridor and passage.

While human soldiers are struggling to cope with external attacks, trusted comrades stab them in the back.

The soldier who rushed out of the lounge collapsed in the deathly silent corridor.

Bloodstains snaked along the metal floor, congealing into a shocking trail.

The soldiers on duty didn't even have time to react before their throats were slit by their comrades who suddenly sprang up beside them.

The shadow of betrayal spread rapidly, plunging the entire base into chaos.

No one could have imagined that the Nanshan Military Region had been infiltrated by the Corpse Cult.

After a thousand days of lying in wait, we have come for this battle.

However, the real fear comes from the front lines.

The Corpse Cult deployed its most terrifying fighting force.

Outside the main gate of the Nanshan Military Region, a huge nut nest stands quietly.

Seventh-order nut nest.

This is a twisted plant that should never have appeared in this world.

It was enormous and full of black holes.

Under the transformation of the Corpse Cult, this seventh-tier nut became a zombie's lair.

It has no offensive capabilities, yet it generates an endless stream of new zombies at a despairing rate.

These zombies surged relentlessly towards the human defenses, filling the battlefield with blood and mangled remains.

At the same time, the Melon-Eating Ghost and the Corpse Mushroom, two seventh-tier plants, directly defended against the two seventh-tier plants from the Nanshan Military Region, and even showed signs of suppressing them.

Despite their best efforts to resist, Xinghe Yangtao and Hanbing Archer were firmly restrained by the seventh-tier experts of the Corpse Cult and found it difficult to break free.

Flames soared into the sky from the valley, and the roar of explosions, mixed with screams and roars, wove together a tragic song of destruction in the night sky.

The collision of the higher-level plants was as deafening as thunder, and the aftershocks of the fierce battle even shattered the surrounding rocks, with fragments raining down on the battlefield.

The entire base was like a lone ship torn apart by a storm, teetering on the brink of collapse.

"Hehe, it seems I overestimated the strength of the Nanshan Military Region."

Beside the nut nest, a man clad in a black robe chuckled coldly.

He was the bishop of the Corpse Cult, the mastermind behind it all.

Caught off guard, the human army was being forced into a retreat when the earth suddenly began to tremble.

It started as a slight tremor, which quickly escalated into a loud, rumbling earthquake.

The remaining soldiers in the base lost their balance and fell to the swaying ground, and even the zombie horde of the Corpse Cult was temporarily halted by the violent tremors.

"what happened?"

The leader of the Corpse Cult narrowed his eyes coldly, looking at the central fortress where the epicenter was located.
