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

Who are you? What are you doing here?

Chen Yang emerged from behind the bushes, eyeing the man warily.

Although he saved the other person, whose identity was unknown, Chen Yang still maintained a safe distance.

The man stared at Chen Yang, as if he had discovered something, and asked in return:

"You... are you the man I saved that night?"

"Now it's my turn to ask you."

Chen Yang's tone carried a hint of authority.

Yuumi also bared her teeth at the man in mid-air, her three tail spikes pointing at him.

The man had witnessed the power of this stinger; it could easily pierce even a zombie. If it were aimed at his head, he would be meeting the King of Hell in the next second.

With Yumi's help, the tall man's imposing presence was noticeably diminished.

The air fell silent.

Just as Chen Yang was getting impatient, the man who was deep in thought slowly spoke.

"I only have one question. Can you answer me first, is this creature lying on the book some kind of plant... like, a mutated cat's tail grass?"

"So what?"

Upon hearing Chen Yang's affirmative answer, the man's eyes lit up with eagerness.

"You're a player!?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's eyebrows twitched violently.

what's the situation?

Could he be a player too?

He initially thought the other party was a local resident.

There was no sign of any plants around the man, and in Chen Yang's understanding, it was impossible for a player to venture into the Undead Mountains alone.

But now, the other party's remarks have forced him to consider this possibility.

"you are?"

"I'm a player too! Turns out I'm not the only player in this world!" The man breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh? Then why are you here all alone?" Chen Yang couldn't hold back his question any longer.

"Killing zombies, that's my job."

"Where are your plants?"

"Um...that's a long story..."

But having finally confirmed the man's player identity and that he was on the same side as Chen Yang, Chen Yang did not continue to make things difficult for him.

The man's name was Sun Yue. He was also assigned the status of an outsider and had nowhere to stay but to sleep in the stable.

According to Sun Yue, he always thought he was the only player in the town, and from the first day, he kept killing zombies in the Dead Mountain Range.

After five days of hard work, he continued to advance deeper and finally killed all the zombies on the perimeter, reaching this location.

But he didn't expect that the zombies deep inside were much stronger, and he was caught off guard and surrounded by them.

If Chen Yang hadn't appeared in time, Sun Yue would most likely have already failed here.

The two sat down and exchanged the information they had gathered.

Chen Yang discovered that although Sun Yue appeared unapproachable on the surface, he was actually quite outgoing and friendly.

"What? The kid who's been sleeping next to me is a player from the opposing faction?" Sun Yue exclaimed in surprise.

"You didn't know there were other players? Then why did you save me that night?"

"Dude, I always thought Som was just an ordinary outsider and never really paid him any attention. I happened to get up in the middle of the night and saw Som holding a knife, about to attack you, so I saved you."

Sun Yue stroked his chin, carefully recalling the scene from that night.

"No wonder Som didn't dare to attack me even though he had a knife. He probably also considered me a local and didn't dare to violate the rule of 'not attacking local residents'."

Chen Yang thought to himself, "Brother, with your two-meter frame, even if Som, that little guy, had a long sword, he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on you."

"Chen Yang, your plants are so powerful, let's just sweep through the Undead Mountains and the mission will be over. We might even get a high score."

Sun Yue was happily making plans.

"We can handle the zombies around here... We can go a little deeper, but if we encounter any zombies we can't handle, we'll retreat immediately."

Chen Yang finalized the plan, and the two continued their ascent deeper into the area.

Along the way, the zombies they encountered became increasingly larger.

Some zombies have even developed a certain level of intelligence, smearing their bodies with damp soil from the ground and letting it dry in the wind to form a hard layer of armor.

However, all of this was in vain under Yuumi's attacks.

Yuumi's spikes easily pierced the skulls of these zombies, killing them instantly.

The two pushed forward with ease, as if they were mowing the lawn in their own backyard.

"Is this the power of a level three mutated plant...?"

Sun Yue, standing to the side, was dumbfounded, completely unable to believe what he was seeing.

He swallowed hard. "I've seen the strongest player's plants in our area, and I thought he was already amazing. But yours is nowhere near his level!"

That's absolutely right. The Three-Tailed Cattail, with a spell power of 2000, is in a class of its own among all level 3 plants.

"I hope that in the upcoming matches, I won't have to fight against a monster like you."

Chen Yang chuckled twice and changed the subject.

"As a player, why don't you summon plants?"

This is the question that Chen Yang is most concerned about. Sun Yue killing zombies with a baseball bat bare-handed is a really bizarre scene.

"Ugh! Just thinking about it makes me angry. It's all that idiot's fault for having such a talent!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Yue suddenly became excited.

"You know, among players, only one in ten thousand possesses talent. With talent, one's starting point is already higher than others. Which talented player isn't one of the top players in the region?"

Chen Yang nodded, agreeing with Sun Yue's statement.

Take Zone 1 as an example. Chen Yang and Lin An are the only two players with talent, and their plant combat power far surpasses that of other players.

Having a talent means that a player has higher potential and a faster growth rate.

"But damn it, I'm ruined by this damn talent. Do you know what my talent is called? It's called Battlefield Hero!"

"Battlefield hero?"

Chen Yang was puzzled; the name sounded perfectly normal.

"Doesn't it sound pretty impressive to you too? That's where the problem lies!"

"My talent limits me to obtaining any damaging plants, nothing at all! I can't even get a regular Potato Mine! I can only get plants like Sunflowers and Wall-nuts!"

"Huh?" Chen Yang was dumbfounded. "Then how have you survived until now?"

"That's all it takes!"

Sun Yue waved the baseball bat in his hand and cursed.

"Every time I level up, this talent improves my physical attributes, you know? It means I'm going to fight the zombies myself!"

"Luckily I have a background in martial arts, otherwise I don't know how many times I would have died!"

Sun Yue seemed to have opened a floodgate of words, continuing to talk on his own.

"I finally managed to get a mutation card, and I was thinking of using it on a plant other than a nut or a sunflower to see if I could turn it into an attacking plant."

"I used it on the flowerpot that I just opened."

"And guess what? I conjured up a water basin!"

"Water basin! Damn! I was even live-streaming it with pictures and text in the channel back then, and now everyone calls me 'Water Basin Bro' when they see me. I'm speechless..."

Sun Yue continued talking to himself, completely unaware that Chen Yang's mouth was so big it could fit a fist.

what?

Such a coincidence?

Is he the "Water Basin Guy"?
