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

Zhao Qi swung the iron hammer in his hand and smashed it straight down on the lava nut!

The moment the hammer head made contact with the surface of the nut, a piercing metallic clang erupted.

However, the anticipated shattered scene did not appear.

Instead, an irresistible recoil force traveled along the iron hammer back to Zhao Qi's arm, causing him to stagger back several steps before he could barely regain his balance.

In contrast, the nut remained intact, its fiery red rock patterns gleaming faintly, standing tall and proud.

Zhao Qi's attack did not cause any damage.

That's the real value of 450 points of defense!

Zhao Qi's retreat halted the other blue team zombies' offensive.

They all looked at Zhao Qi with suspicion and uncertainty.

Why couldn't Zhao Qi crack the nut even though both of them had taken the zombie serum?

Feeling the questioning gazes from behind, Zhao Qi felt a little embarrassed.

What's wrong with these nuts?

It has two hands, and they're ridiculously hard too?

Zhao Qi's face darkened, filled with resentment.

Undeterred, he raised the hammer again and slammed it down on the lava nut with all his might.

However, this time the hammer hadn't even touched the surface of the nut before it was caught precisely by two giant hands.

The hammerhead was suspended in mid-air, completely unable to move.

Zhao Qi's eyes widened in surprise as he stared at the nut in front of him in disbelief.

Are you serious?

Is this a nut?!

Catching a white hammer with bare hands?!

The nut in front of him remained motionless, the giant rock hand gripped the hammer firmly, and blinked its eyes as it looked at Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi blushed and tried to pull the hammer back, but the nut-shaped hands were like iron clamps, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't take the hammer back.

A zombie and a nut are locked in a stalemate.

"That doesn't make sense, why can that other one smash the nut with one blow?"

"Did Brother Qi drink fake serum?"

"So, are we just going to... just watch like this?"

Zhao Qi couldn't hold back any longer.

"What are you waiting for! This nut is strange! Attack from the other four directions!"

The other zombies reacted and launched a massive attack on the other four routes.

The moment the zombie army stepped onto the lawn, a barrage of peas rained down on them, slicing through the air with a series of rapid "bang" sounds.

Peas, cabbage, corn, and butter—shoot them in swarms forward, killing any zombies that step into their range.

Blue-purple orbs were scattered among them, rapidly reaping the lives of the zombies.

+1 spell power

+1 spell power

+1 spell power

These ordinary zombies kept falling and resurrecting, crossing the road to face the surging attacks once again, launching an endless assault on the garden.

On the other side of the garden, Huang Aotian led the charge, and the attack from District One was unstoppable.

He also died once.

Even with a health pool far exceeding that of ordinary zombies, he couldn't withstand the endless barrage of fire peas from the opponent.

His health was depleted after he smashed the second nut in the middle row.

A ruthless glint flashed in Huang Aotian's eyes.

He had already smashed the first two nuts.

Once he breaks through the third row of Nut Walls, he can destroy the opponent's fourth row of Flame Stumps!

Once the Flame Tree Stump is lost, the opponent's damage output, primarily consisting of Pea Shooters, will be significantly reduced!

"Ow!"

Huang Aotian roared.

"Everyone, concentrate your firepower and attack the central route!"

There has been no progress on the other four fronts.

In the very center of the battle line, the first two small nut-sized plants had already been smashed, leaving only a tall nut-sized plant trembling as it watched the endless army of zombies approaching.

Behind it were the Flaming Tree Stumps, with no other defenses!

Huang Aotian stepped out of the respawn point, took a deep breath, and sprinted towards the garden.

With each step, the ground trembled slightly.

He moved faster and faster, stirring up a gust of wind that made his clothes flutter loudly.

A roaring beast charged straight at the high-nut!

Huang Aotian held the huge white cross high above his head, then suddenly leaped up, channeling his strength into his entire body.

He slashed down with the force of a landslide.

"Hahahaha, break it for me!"

The next second, accompanied by a deafening crash, the blow smashed off half of the top of the Tall-nut, leaving only half of its body standing alone in place.

The moment Huang Aotian landed, endless artillery fire bombarded him.

This giant zombie had ventured so deep that every plant was on high alert, and countless fire peas rained down on Huang Aotian.

His health dropped rapidly, instantly reaching zero.

But it was too late. Huang Aotian only needed to do it again to completely tear apart Blue Garden's defenses.

On the other hand, although Zhao Qi's side had a numerical advantage, they had only managed to break through the first layer of the Nut Wall, not to mention that they had no way to deal with the mutated Nut in the middle.

Zhao Qi also gave up attacking the center line.

This mutated nut wields a hammer with great force, creating a vacuum zone around it. Any zombie that enters will be smashed by this nut and respawn.

"Hahaha, weren't you guys so arrogant just now? Now you can't even handle a single nut?"

"Push harder! Is this all the strength you have?"

"Is that all? You were making such a big fuss before the competition, I thought it would be something really scary."

While the zombies in Zone 1 were attacking, they didn't forget to turn around and make a few sarcastic remarks.

Zhao Qi's face was gloomy. He hadn't expected that even with the initial advantage, they wouldn't be able to gain the upper hand.

"It's time..."

He shouted at the woman in the neighboring courtyard.

"Sister Xun! Use it!"

At the far end of the garden, a woman known as Sister Xun stood with her arms tightly crossed over her chest, her eyes darting around, extremely uneasy.

The moment Huang Aotian smashed Gao Jianguo's nails, she was extremely nervous.

Zhao Qi's voice pierced through the noisy battlefield and reached the woman's ears. Only then did her expression relax slightly, and she let out a long breath.

Psychologically, she was just an ordinary middle-aged woman.

But she is also the only player in District 426 with talent.

[Talent: Fury of the Forest]

Effect: Grants all plants in your garden a special mutation effect, greatly enhancing their combat power. Mutated plants will be upgraded. Lasts for one hour. Cooldown: Three days.

This innate skill is precisely why Zhao Qi chose him as the grower.

The talent effect is extremely powerful, capable of significantly boosting the combat strength of all plants in the garden.

The price is a three-day cooldown period.

At this moment, the woman slightly raised her hand.

"The Fury of Shenglin".

A rich, green arc of light surged out from her like a wave, spreading rapidly and instantly enveloping the entire garden.

The zombies were reduced to ashes and vanished without a trace under the green arc of light.

The plants in the garden have undergone an amazing transformation.

The Peashooter grew rapidly, its originally slender vines becoming as thick as tree trunks, its entire body gleaming with a dark green sheen, and its shell wrapped with fine thorns.

The nut tree, which was originally damaged, has now been restored to its original state and is even taller, standing like a city wall at the front of the garden.

The flames at the top of the Flame Tree stump surged, the flickering light carrying a blinding, blazing white glow, and a slight heat wave rose in the air.

Meanwhile, the unassuming bomber plant deep in the garden now had its explosives multiplied, and the glowing red fuse transformed into a burning fire serpent.

The entire garden was transformed into an insurmountable wall of bronze and iron.

"Hahaha, didn't expect that, did you? You poor wretches from District One, you didn't think you were going to win, did you?"

"That was just an appetizer; now comes the main course!"

"Don't just stand there, keep going and get yourself killed!"

"Look at them, they look like a pack of dogs."

The situation reversed instantly, with the blue team's zombies launching a barrage of taunts.

"Damn! They had this trick up their sleeve!"

"You killed so many nuts, and now they've all recovered?"

"Grass!"

Huang Aotian tried to break through, but he could only smash one-third of the nuts with his hammer.

However, the opponent's Flaming Pea could instantly annihilate his health bar.

Looking at the other side, Huang Aotian felt anxious as Zhao Qi's zombie army steadily advanced.

He instinctively wanted to ask Chen Yang for his opinion.

Wait... it seems like we haven't seen Chen Yang since the start of the attack.

Huang Aotian looked around but couldn't find Chen Yang anywhere.

Holy crap, where did everyone go?

At a time like this, where the hell is this guy?
