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

[Didi detected that the player is outside the garden.]

[Player will be wiped out...]

[Erase...]

Chen Yang's heart was in his throat.

He knew that if players were not in their gardens during the zombie invasion, they would face the risk of being eliminated by the system.

It was already noon.

It was the time when zombies invaded the garden.

It wasn't that Chen Yang hadn't tried to leave this place and return to the garden.

Instead, it was the zombie named A-Gang that restricted his movement.

Ever since the previous night, when the area manager, Rand, brought Chen Yang to this zombie-infested area, A-Gang had been keeping a close eye on Chen Yang.

This burly zombie named A-Gang also possesses a certain degree of intelligence.

Although it can't speak yet, it's much more intelligent than a regular zombie.

Moreover, he seemed to care quite a bit about Chen Yang, his new underling.

Every time he saw Chen Yang trying to sneak away, he would drag Chen Yang back.

They clearly regarded Chen Yang as an ordinary zombie without reason, and were worried that Chen Yang would wander off to other places if they weren't careful.

Chen Yang was powerless to resist and could only endure the passage of time in the zombie camp.

Just now, the moment I saw the words "[Player will be wiped out]" appear in the system.

Chen Yang's anxiety finally died.

God is killing me!

But the next twist revived Chen Yang's dead heart.

[No target player detected]

[System error, erase failed]

Damn it!

This damn system is trying to play sit-ups with me!

I almost couldn't catch my breath!

Chen Yang gasped for breath, his heart filled with the relief of surviving a disaster.

It's highly likely that because he's currently in zombie mode, the system can't detect the person 'Chen Yang' anymore.

I was terrified...

I almost thought I was going to fail here.

"Uh~"

Ah Gang walked over.

A small, short dagger was tossed in front of the still-shaken Chen Yang.

This is?

Seeing the huge snakeskin bag that A-Gang was dragging behind him, bulging with all sorts of weapons, Chen Yang understood.

This is to distribute equipment to the zombies.

He picked up the dagger in front of him, which had jagged, serrated marks.

I feel like I've seen this dagger somewhere before...

[Serrated Dagger]

Attack: 15

Armor Penetration: 10

Special effect:

Tetanus Blade: This plant has a chance to trigger this effect when it damages a living creature, causing a poison effect.

[A blade that tears through the darkness, only blood can bring it to rest...]

Holy crap...

Isn't this the armor penetration item from League of Legends?

Can this kind of equipment be distributed so casually?

Chen Yang secretly grumbled to himself.

He looked around and found that the other zombies' equipment was mostly scrap metal.

Only their weapons are unique.

Chen Yang looked at A Gang's retreating figure, his eyes filled with surprise.

Special treatment?

Does this mean they really consider me their subordinate?

As if sensing Chen Yang's gaze, A-Gang turned his head stiffly.

With his cracked lips twitching upwards, A-Gang gave Chen Yang a terrifying smile, expressing his "friendliness."

......

......

“Thank you all for coming!”

At this moment, the open space in the center of Dave's Tavern was cleared out, and more than 500 people sat around it, densely packed together.

Apart from Chen Yang, everyone from District One had gathered here.

Their eyes were all focused on Lin An, who was standing on the table.

"Everyone, the regional competition is in two days."

"We have gathered here not only for victory, but also for the survival of this region!"

His voice carried throughout the tavern, prompting nods from everyone present.

"Although our region has a relatively large number of survivors, the strength of other regions should not be underestimated."

"There are still about three billion survivors...which means that three million areas will have to participate in this regional competition."

"Out of three million regions, our region has two plants that can make it onto the combat power rankings."

"One of them is my Level 4 dual-launcher..."

At this point, Lin An paused and scanned the entire room.

"But it seems the owner of the other plant isn't very interested in our discussion."

At this point, the crowd stirred.

"Another plant on the power ranking? Who is it?"

"Chen Yang! He's the guy who attracted the huge beam of light that night."

"Why didn't he come at this crucial moment?!"

"Heh, I think he thinks we can't do without him..."

"He's not coming... could it be that the city has been captured...?"

Lin An clapped his hands, silencing the murmurs of discussion in the crowd.

"Everyone, Chen Yang's plants are still on the plant combat power ranking, which means he is still alive and well."

"But since he doesn't want to participate, we don't need to force him."

"Brother An is right..."

A glamorous woman walked gracefully out of the crowd.

She wore a huge gold earring on each ear, which swayed and shone in the dim light, making a crisp clinking sound.

"Our district doesn't need another plant ranked over 700..."

"Ango's level four dual-shooter is a plant ranked 417th on the combat power list!"

"He's just a nobody like Chen Yang, yet he really thinks he's someone important."

The woman's instigation further fueled the crowd's anger.

"Damn it, when it's a matter of life and death, he doesn't even offer a single helping hand!"

"Exactly! He's still putting on an act at a critical moment! Chen Yang is a real scoundrel!"

"There are only one in ten thousand areas with plants that are ranked high in combat power! With Brother An here, we can definitely win!"

Upon hearing this, Lin An's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile, before he quickly became serious and said:

"I will give it my all in this battle!"

"Most importantly, we trust each other and have the courage to fight side by side!"

"Unlike some coward who doesn't even have the courage to show his face!"

"Even without Chen Yang, I can still lead District One to victory in this battle!"

Lin An's words ignited the morale of those present, and many straightened their backs, their eyes gleaming with fighting spirit.

A tall, burly man slammed his hand on the table and loudly echoed his sentiment.

"Brother An is right! So what if we don't have Chen Yang? We won't lose!"

"Yes! We won't lose!"

"My watermelon and nuts are just as good as theirs!"

"Exactly! I could build an Iceberg Lettuce!"

At this moment, everyone's emotions reached a climax.

"Not bad!"

Lin An smiled slightly, "Next, we need to refine everyone's tasks, divide the work, and maximize our strengths."

"Each of us is a crucial link!"

As Lin An finished speaking, a heated discussion broke out in the tavern once again.

The tavern gradually transformed into a tense preparatory meeting, with everyone preparing for the upcoming battle.

Only Huang Aotian leaned against a stone pillar in the corner, his face full of sorrow.

He had originally intended to invite Chen Yang to join this competition discussion.

But he stood outside the courtyard and called for a long time, but Chen Yang did not respond.

The private message sent to Chen Yang also went unanswered.

Although they were only neighbors for a few days, he felt that Chen Yang was not the kind of person who would disregard the bigger picture.

Chen Yang, where the hell have you been?
