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

Zhao Qi charged wildly toward the garden, his eyes bloodshot, like a wild beast that had gone out of control.

In his Bloodthirst state, his physical functions more than doubled!

He plunged headlong into the horde of zombies, violently pushing aside those blocking his path and slamming his shoulder into every obstacle in his way.

Zhao Qi caught sight of the giant hammer on the ground, picked it up, and swept it across the ground, scattering zombies like fallen leaves wherever he went.

He abandoned all defenses and became unstoppable.

The giant hammer slammed down in his hand like a storm, and the plants instantly crumbled under his relentless attacks.

Zhao Qi frantically approached the depths of the garden, and even the Ice Giant Mushroom could not slow his advance.

The path on the lawn wasn't long.

Wang Dao, at the very back, swallowed hard. Although he knew he would be resurrected, he was still somewhat afraid of Zhao Qi charging at him so fiercely.

Grass!

It's done!

Wang Dao steeled his heart, closed his eyes tightly, and waited for Zhao Qi, who was rapidly approaching, to give him a quick death.

Heavy footsteps approached, growing closer and closer, and the earth trembled slightly.

Zhao Qi's violent aura rushed towards us, and the howling wind carried a destructive force.

Each step weighed heavily on Wang Dao's heart; the closer he got, the clearer the fear of facing death became.

His breathing became more and more rapid, awaiting the final blow.

[Match End]

A cold, automated voice sounded in my ear.

Eh...

I don't feel anything...

So fast...

Does a person not feel anything if they die in an instant?

Wang Dao was puzzled. He opened his eyes tremblingly. Zhao Qi's giant hammer was hovering an inch above his head, not falling.

what's the situation?

Is this a revolving door of memories?

[Victory Zone: 0001]

[Failure Zone: 0426]

A cold, ruthless female voice rang in his ears, and Wang Dao suddenly felt dizzy.

what?

Isn't that said backwards?

Wasn't District 426 the victor?

He suspected that he had heard wrongly.

[The 0426 area will now be erased.]

"Etc., etc!"

Wang Dao wanted to ask something, but helplessly discovered that the world before him was falling apart.

[We are very sorry, you have been eliminated.]

"No! I'm from District One!"

"I want to withdraw my region switching card!"

"System! Cancel! Cancel..."

......

Cracks appeared in the virtual space, like a mirror that had been struck hard.

The scene before me shattered, countless fragments scattering like glass.

The space for the competition vanished in an instant, like a dream being shattered.

Chen Yang opened his eyes and found himself back in the familiar little house.

"so close..."

"If this evolution takes any longer, I'm doomed."

"Luckily, those fire peas weren't very powerful, and they passed right through them."

Fortunately, they ultimately won the game.

Chen Yang patted his chest.

[Match Ended]

[MVP of this competition: Chen Yang]

"Holy crap? We won?"

"This can't be heaven, can it...?"

"We really won! We survived!"

"Hahahaha! It's good that Wang Dao died. I can already imagine what he looked like when he died. It's so satisfying!"

"I will never question it again, Yang Shen, please forgive me QAQ"

"Awesome! Yang Shen is awesome, he even managed to flip this!"

"Yang Shen is awesome!"

"Yang Shen is awesome!"

Within the regional forum, the survivors were excitedly celebrating in the chat channels.

Chen Yang smiled slightly.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door, and when Chen Yang opened it, he was greeted by a bear hug from Huang Aotian.

"Chen Yang, you've been hiding your true colors!"

"You're fucking awesome! If it weren't for your trick, I'd probably be a dead body by now!"

Huang Aotian burst into laughter.

"Let's go! Our hero, let's go to the tavern for a couple of drinks to celebrate!"

Chen Yang did not refuse.

Although he doesn't drink, after experiencing so much lately, he wanted to relax and unwind.

With the setting sun behind them, the two strolled leisurely toward the tavern.

Whether it was a tacit understanding or someone's suggestion, more and more people gathered at the tavern amidst laughter and conversation, until finally everyone in the entire district had gathered there.

The initial whispers turned into boisterous discussions, and several people began to sing victory songs at the top of their lungs, attracting even more people to join in.

The tables and chairs were moved aside, leaving a space in the middle where the young survivors danced freely to the songs.

The NPC bartenders bustled in and out, serving the players glass after glass of wine.

The clinking of glasses and laughter filled the tavern, and under the warm lights, the space was ignited by the joy of surviving the ordeal.

"Brothers and sisters! Tonight there are no zombie attacks, no regional competition troubles, only songs and fine wine!"

"Let's celebrate winning the regional tournament and surviving!"

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, someone started it up: "I think we should all apologize to Chen Yang..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him echoed his sentiments.

"Yes! Chen Yang is our biggest hero this time!"

"I'm guilty! I even questioned Chen Yang before..."

"It's all Lin An's doing. He and that woman are working together to put Chen Yang down and elevate themselves, all with the goal of turning District One into his personal fiefdom!"

"I suspected Lin An had ulterior motives all along!"

"Yang Shen must have been ashamed to associate with Lin An back then, which is why he didn't come to our discussion conference."

"I really misunderstood Yang Shen before, and even spoke ill of him behind his back. Waaah, please forgive me, Yang Shen..."

"I'm sorry, Yang Shen, I'm your dog..."

"Yang God, I was blind before... I am willing to use 100,000 rays of sunlight to wash away my sins."

The scene quickly spiraled out of control, and Chen Yang hadn't expected everyone to be so enthusiastic.

He stood up and walked to the center of the tavern.

The scene fell silent instantly.

Under the orange light, all eyes were focused on him.

Chen Yang glanced around and slowly spoke.

I appreciate your kindness, and let bygones be bygones.

"Without your plants, without everyone here holding back the time, we wouldn't have gotten this far."

"Even though we had moments of wanting to give up and struggling, we still survived in the end."

He paused, then raised his glass.

"So, this toast is for everyone!"

A cheer erupted from the crowd, and everyone raised their glasses to toast each other, filling the tavern with even more enthusiastic laughter.

After a few drinks, a warm, slightly tipsy atmosphere gradually filled the tavern.

People sat together, glasses clinking, recounting the hardships and perseverance of these past days, laughing and talking about their romantic past before they came into this world, slowly leaving all their previous unpleasantness behind.

The warm orange light shone on everyone's smiling faces.

The celebration party lasted until late at night. A few people couldn't hold their liquor and had to be carried back to the garden early, but the others were reluctant to leave and enjoyed this rare moment of relaxation.

The system prompt suddenly sounded.

[All regional competitions have ended]

[Winners' rewards will now be distributed. Please check your supply crate.]
