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

"How could there be such a towering pillar of light?"

"Is this a photoshopped image?"

"I'm from Zone 1, and I can vouch for the authenticity of this image!"

"Damn it, it's all because of this light! I glanced over twice, and the sunflower was eaten..."

"If a human were to unleash this skill, it would be absolutely overpowered."

"Could it be someone's talent?"

"Hey, hey, hey, didn't you guys notice the number of people online?!"

"Now we only have a little over four billion left!"

"Holy crap, almost half the people are gone..."

"We've only gotten through three waves of zombies..."

At this moment, the number of online users on the world channel has dropped dramatically from over seven billion at the beginning to four billion.

Nearly half of the players have already succumbed to the zombie onslaught.

"Damn, there are only two people online left in our district!"

"Dude, you guys are really pathetic."

"This is going to become a ghost town."

That night, countless players offered up their brains.

Meanwhile, Chen Yang, the focus of everyone's discussion, was fast asleep in bed.

----

The next day.

Chen Yang was awakened by shouts from outside the courtyard.

"Chen Yang!"

"Chen Yang! Chen Yang, are you there?"

"Chen Yang, if you're not awake, at least say something!"

"Noisy!"

Chen Yang angrily opened the door, intending to unleash a torrent of curses at the two-armed man who had disturbed his peaceful sleep, but was startled by the scene outside the courtyard.

A large crowd gathered at the entrance of Chenyang Garden.

Although there weren't as many people as on the first day, everyone's eyes were still focused on Chen Yang, which made him feel uneasy.

what's the situation?

Are they all infected by zombies?

You want to eat my brains, huh?

At that moment, a woman stepped out from the crowd, her large gold earrings gleaming in the sunlight.

Chen Yang knew this woman; she lived next door to him and seemed to have some unspeakable dealings with Lin An.

“Brother An, this is the person! The light last night came from his yard.”

The woman pointed at Chen Yang, then turned to look at Lin An in the crowd.

"Young man, please don't be offended."

Lin An spoke.

"We're just curious about what exactly happened in your yard last night."

"Everyone on the channel is talking about that beam of light right now."

"Ah, that's just one of my plant skills, nothing special."

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to sleep."

Chen Yang was getting impatient.

"and many more!"

The woman stepped forward again.

"You're saying that's your skill? That beam of light last night looked incredibly powerful..."

"I suppose you're no longer under any defensive pressure."

"You don't know, over a hundred people went missing from our district last night!"

Chen Yang was somewhat surprised to hear this.

He didn't expect the number of players to decrease so quickly.

The woman outside the courtyard continued, "Xiaoyang, everyone is suffering right now. You don't want to see your neighbors just disappear like this, do you..."

"You look quite young, and you don't seem like a bad person..."

"If you distribute the extra plant cards to players in our region, consider it helping everyone out."

After the woman finished speaking, a commotion began to rise in the crowd.

“Indeed, we can’t see what Chen Yang has planted in his yard either. I guess there are some particularly strong plants.”

"I saw that he's on the plant combat power ranking, so he must be under no pressure."

"This is not good..."

Chen Yang looked at Lin An, but Lin An simply turned his gaze to the side and did not respond to Chen Yang's look.

have to.

Lin An isn't a good person either.

Chen Yang yawned, pondering slowly in his mind.

This was only the third wave of attacks, and few players had any extra resources left.

Lin An couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

In Zone 1, only I and Lin An made it onto the combat power rankings.

Today's events are most likely Lin An trying to test him.

With so many other players brought in, the woman plays the good cop, and when Chen Yang can't take it anymore, Lin An plays the bad cop.

By doing so, he could outmaneuver Chen Yang and establish himself as the leader of the district.

Thinking about this, Chen Yang was speechless.

Why did you have to come and provoke me when you were just playing house peacefully...?

He didn't want to talk to these people and planned to go back to sleep.

Just then, Huang Aotian's voice came out.

"You filthy bitch!"

"Trying to morally blackmail my brother Yang, is that it?"

"I, Huang Aotian, despise people like you the most!"

"Who hasn't just survived the third wave of attacks? And who has any extra resources?"

"Even if there were, it wouldn't be your turn!"

“I’m telling you all right here, if you all kept quiet and tolerated this old shrew, I wouldn’t have given you a damn.”

Huang Aotian's sudden appearance caught everyone off guard, including Chen Yang.

Holy crap, this Huang Aotian.

Is its attack power that strong?

He is a ruthless person.

But he's also loyal enough.

Chen Yang secretly admired him.

At this moment, whispers began to circulate among the crowd outside the courtyard, and many people seemed to agree that the woman had done something wrong.

"No! I was just thinking of everyone's best interests..."

But everyone seemed to really dislike this woman's actions, as she took advantage of others and then dragged a group of people down with her.

"We're just here to watch the show. Don't treat us like fools and put on this fake show!"

"That's right..."

Seeing that things were not going well, Lin An tried to smooth things over.

"It's nothing serious, everyone can go home now."

The woman seemed to want to argue, but seeing Huang Aotian's wide eyes, she could only retreat back into the crowd in a huff.

After the excitement subsided, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Chen Yang was no longer sleepy and walked out of the courtyard to Huang Aotian's side.

"Thank you so much for getting me out of that predicament."

"Nothing much, I just can't stand guys who use their power to bully others."

"By the way, buddy, you just woke up, you probably missed the notification."

Huang Aotian then changed the subject.

"notify?"

Chen Yang subconsciously tapped the panel, and a blue message popped up.

[When more than 50% of players are eliminated, Endless Challenge Mode will be activated.]

"Endless Challenge Mode?"

"It's the mode that was just released this morning. I just tried it once, but unfortunately I couldn't even survive the second wave."

"Didn't make it? Then why are you still standing here?"

Chen Yang asked curiously.

Shouldn't they have their brains eaten if they lose?

"Haha, you didn't know that, did you?"

"This mode involves entering a virtual world to fight against endless waves of zombies."

"In this virtual world, you will not die, and plants will not disappear even if they are eaten; they will recover when you return to the real world."

It turned out to be the case.

Chen Yang understood.

At this point, almost all players are challenging the endless mode.

However, on the Endless Mode leaderboard, the number one spot is none other than the combat power number one, Chi Zi Gao.

Chen Yang remembered that this person was the owner of the Destruction Mushroom Shooter, a monstrous plant.

Even for him, the record at this point was only up to the eighth wave of Endless Mode.

Even the Doom Mushroom Archer couldn't survive the ninth wave?

Chen Yang was curious about what kind of zombies would appear in this endless mode.

"The first player to clear wave 10 will receive a special reward."

Huang Aotian added.

"Brother Yang, I think you have the makings of number one. Let's hurry up and climb the rankings to get the rewards!"

"I'm not going to say anything more. The midnight offensive is almost here. I'm going back to my house to get ready."

Chen Yang waved goodbye to Huang Aotian and turned back to his own courtyard.

Endless mode, is it?

Chen Yang felt a surge of excitement.

As a die-hard Plants vs. Zombies player, he holds the record of completing 9,999 waves of the original Endless Mode.

With the endless mode now available, Chen Yang was itching to play.

'Aww~'

The familiar zombie screams rang out again, and an ordinary zombie, clutching a small red flag, led a large zombie horde out of the woods.

The most powerful zombie this time has become the Buckethead Zombie.

This zombie was clearly different from the others; it was all muscle and exuded a putrid stench.

The zombies grow stronger at an unexpectedly fast pace.

Buckethead zombies are quite difficult to deal with.

Chen Yang could imagine that at noon today, another large number of people would lose their brains in front of the Iron Bucket Zombie.

The zombies' attacks were concentrated on the three middle paths, so there was no need to use skills.

The skill 'Solar Flare' costs 1000 sun.

At this moment, Chen Yang was not wealthy enough to squander this thousand suns.

Save money wherever you can.

A cracking sound came from inside.

The lava nut began to be eaten, and a large wave of zombies surrounded the strange-looking nut and began to feast on it.

The stone chips fell very quickly, especially around the buckethead zombies, where each bite brought down a large chunk of stone chips.
