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

On the day of the regional competition.

Chen Yang got up early for the first time in a long time.

Unexpectedly, Huang Aotian got up earlier than him.

"The sun hasn't even risen yet, what are you doing up so early?"

Chen Yang asked Huang Aotian, who was practicing boxing in the yard, with curiosity.

"Well, we always got up at this time in the company, and we got used to it over time."

Chen Yang nodded and handed the equipment he had brought to Huang Aotian.

"Five iron buckets, an iron door, and this card."

"Fuck!"

Huang Aotian then noticed what Chen Yang was carrying.

"You robbed the zombie dealers?"

"These things would cost at least twenty or thirty gold coins..."

"Where did you get so many gold coins, kid?"

Chen Yang smiled mysteriously: "Then don't worry about it, as long as we have something to use."

Huang Aotian didn't delve into the details and instead turned to examine the card.

"A cross? What's that? It looks so much like a plant card."

Try silently praying for the cross to appear.

Huang Aotian was skeptical. "It can't be that mysterious, can it? Things can be put into cards."

But what happened next left Huang Aotian dumbfounded.

A dazzling white light burst forth from the card.

Immediately afterwards, a huge white cross slowly emerged from the light.

It is over two meters long, with a huge crossbeam. Its white surface radiates a cold luster, and mysterious patterns are engraved on its edges.

The cross landed steadily on the lawn in the garden, and a solemn atmosphere instantly filled the air.

"This, this, this..."

"This is too big!"

Huang Aotian was stunned.

"How about it? Isn't it better than the equipment of the leader in District 426?"

"Awesome, absolutely amazing!"

"This size is so big, it could probably crush a nut with a single blow."

Huang Aotian clicked his tongue in admiration, stepped forward, took a deep breath, and placed his hands on the huge white cross.

He pulled hard, and the veins on his forehead immediately bulged.

Even with his robust physique and muscles as solid as steel, lifting the two-meter-long cross was extremely difficult for him.

He held the cross horizontally around his waist, Huang Aotian suppressed his trembling body and showed a confident smile, but sweat had already slid down his forehead and dripped onto the white cross.

"This... is way too damn heavy!"

He gasped for breath, released his grip, and the cross fell heavily to the ground.

"It looks powerful, but I don't need it."

"Hehe, of course I don't mean you should just use it like that."

Chen Yang took out a purple reagent from his pocket.

[Z-type Zombie Serum]

Item Description: Consuming Z-type zombie serum will strengthen the bones and muscles of a zombie, greatly increasing its strength and speed. It is a powerful booster that all ordinary zombies seeking strength dream of. (Suitable for Level 1 zombies)

"Z-type zombie serum?! You managed to get your hands on that?!"

Huang Aotian's eyes widened in surprise.

He was already quite surprised by the equipment he had just received, but this vial of serum was even more unexpected.

That costs ten gold coins, which is equivalent to 100,000 suns!

Where did Chen Yang get so many supplies?

Huang Aotian was both amazed and curious.

"Take this serum once you're in the combat zone. That way, our chances of winning will be 10% higher."

Huang Aotian readily accepted the bottle of serum.

He didn't make excuses or hesitate.

But he knew in his heart that Chen Yang must have paid a heavy price to obtain this vial of serum.

Having accepted this vial of serum, he has taken on the responsibility of leading District One to victory.

Huang Aotian, unusually serious, said:

"Chen Yang, don't worry... leave it to me..."

"I will lead District One to victory!"

Afterwards, Chen Yang returned to his garden and began the final wave of upgrades.

Although he had strengthened his and Huang Aotian's equipment, he was still unsure of himself.

Chen Yang planned to make a final upgrade to the plants before the battle.

However, when Chen Yang opened the panel, the pitifully small amount of sunlight left him somewhat helpless.

Remaining sunlight: 3921

Let alone buying plant upgrade cards...

Even the cheapest garden upgrade requires 30,000 sun!

At this moment, Huangfu Qinghe sent a message.

"Chen Yang, the competition starts in a few hours. How are your region's preparations going?"

"It's a bit risky."

Chen Yang spoke frankly and then told Huangfu Qinghe about the current situation in District One.

After the zombie attack that night, District 1 never recovered.

They are now completely disorganized and their fighting strength is weak.

Although the opponent is not strong, the chances of winning in Zone 1 are still slim.

"...Our opponents don't have any particularly powerful plants, and their economy isn't very good either; they basically just equip each zombie with a roadblock."

"Even so, it will be extremely difficult for our District One to win."

Even through the screen, Huangfu Qinghe could feel Chen Yang's helplessness.

He never expected Chen Yang to face this situation.

Before the life-or-death battle, a zombie ambush occurs.

Apart from Chen Yang, who escaped this calamity, all the stronger individuals in District One perished overnight.

Their fighting strength is now less than one-tenth of what it used to be!

"Sigh, I can't even afford to upgrade my garden anymore."

"..."

"Chen Yang, this is my last ray of sunshine. I hope it can be of some help to you."

Huangfu Qinghe resolutely decided to give the remaining nearly 40,000 suns to Chen Yang.

To cope with a formidable enemy, Huangfu Qinghe is currently facing a financial strain.

In a life-or-death battle, no one dared to hold back.

Even though Huangfu Qinghe had nearly a million suns, he exchanged all of them for zombie equipment and distributed it to other people in the area.

The 30,000+ rays were produced by his plants just last night.

At this moment, he only hoped that the sunlight could increase Chen Yang's chances of winning.

Chen Yang quickly received a notification from the system.

Player [Huangfu Qinghe] sent you Sunshine Points.

"Thank you..."

Looking at the string of numbers with both zeros and whole numbers in the system notification, Chen Yang felt a lump in his throat.

Huangfu Qinghe remained the same as before.

They spared no effort in helping Chen Yang.

"Hey, no need for thanks between brothers. I already said, if you need more sunlight, just ask me, don't be shy!"

"Okay, then take care of yourself!"

"Take care of yourself!"

Chen Yang took a few deep breaths.

Reality did not allow him to continue wasting time.

There are two hours left before the regional competition begins.

Chen Yang looked at the sunshine balance in the status bar.

.

This sunlight was just enough for him to upgrade the garden's level.
