Chapter 622 The Showdown on the Rooftop
Setting down the grenade launcher, Kretz channeled his plant spirit power, conjuring a card featuring the Cabbage Pitcher.
He tossed the card into the flowerpot next to him, and soon a plump cabbage pitcher emerged from the pot.
Its round body is wrapped in layers of leaves, the edges of which gleam with a tender green sheen.
A pair of large, bright black eyes darted around, revealing a cleverness as they curiously surveyed their surroundings.
Amidst the foliage overhead, a small wicker basket rests steadily, inside which lies a plump, round cabbage, swaying back and forth with the basket's movement.
It noticed an ordinary zombie approaching from not far away and immediately narrowed its eyes.
Aiming at its opponent, it suddenly exerted force, and the cabbage in the basket was thrown out, hitting the low-level zombie squarely on the forehead.
The ordinary zombie was hit so hard it staggered, stars popping out of its head, and its already unsteady steps instantly became chaotic.
The second cabbage fell quickly, then the third, the fourth...
As the fifth cabbage came hurtling through the air, the low-level zombie that the cabbage thrower had chosen as its target finally succumbed to the pressure.
The heavy cabbage slammed into the crumbling skull like a cannonball, the cabbage leaf and the head exploding together.
The headless zombie staggered, but before it could take a single step, it collapsed forward and remained motionless.
Kretz methodically placed the cabbage pitcher while adjusting the angle to provide additional firepower support.
The situation is relatively stable, and it's time to expand our formation.
----------
Tao Yuan, a flowerpot-shaped artificial human, is on standby.
----------
Flower pots don't need sunlight; they just need to be given enough time.
Taking advantage of the relatively small number of enemies on the field, Mo Chen issued two orders after making his decision.
"Tao Yuan entered the site and placed flower pots in the sixth and seventh columns."
"An Dong will enter the site to protect Tao Yuan from enemy interference during the engineering work."
The two plant warriors received orders and quickly entered the rooftop battlefield.
The agile Anton was the first to rush out, wielding a sword and a shield.
He channeled his plant spirit power to taunt, drawing away the attention of many low-level zombies, and then slashed out with his sword, beheading an ordinary zombie.
With Anton drawing away the enemy's hatred, Tao Yuan, with steady steps, climbed onto the roof and began making flowerpots on the spot.
His movements were full of ritual; every time he put down a flowerpot, he would gently pat the dust off the rim, as if he were giving the final touches to the work that was about to be created.
One minute later, the sixth and seventh columns of the rooftop battlefield were also incorporated into the courtyard's defensive line.
Tao Yuan straightened up, nodded slightly to Anton, and then retreated to the preparation platform.
Anton understood and, without lingering in battle, immediately sheathed his sword, raised his shield, and returned to defense. At the same time, he threw out a card and placed a nut at the very front of the defensive line to block the enemy from advancing.
More wormholes appeared on the roof ridge, and low-level zombies kept emerging from them.
The number of barricade zombies gradually increased, and they densely approached the defensive line.
The firepower of just a row of cabbage pitchers and Kretz is no longer enough.
"Kretz, place the summoned creature in the fourth row. I'll send reinforcements in immediately!"
“Received, homeowner.”
Kretz's eyes narrowed, and he quickly placed more cabbage pitchers while unleashing his first-day pick, "All-Out Attack."
After acquiring this chosen skill, the user can consume their own plant spirit power to make the next shot consume all the ammunition in the weapon.
Each additional bullet consumed increases the damage by 1%, up to a maximum of 100%.
He shaped six grenades in one go, loaded them into the launcher, aimed at the horde of corpses ahead, and pulled the trigger forcefully.
Six grenades were combined into one and fell from mid-air into the enemy ranks.
The deafening explosion echoed throughout the rooftop battlefield, and scorching waves of fire swept around, blowing away more than a dozen low-level zombies huddled together.
Burning limbs and charred armor fragments fell like raindrops, instantly clearing a space.
Mo Chen turned to look at his side, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the waiting plant spirit warriors.
Finally, his gaze settled on the glittering "newcomer".
The other party seemed to have noticed Mo Chen's actions, and winked playfully at their homeowner, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Mo Chen sighed helplessly. Seeing that another plant spirit warrior nodded to him imperceptibly, he then issued a new order.
"Mira enters the fray, free to fight!"
Princess Starlight from the Etherda family gave an elegant bow, then lightly leaped off the platform, her toes barely touching the brick ground before landing in front of the two rows of cabbage pitchers.
With a light tap of her fingertip, Mira's five floating cannons instantly arranged in a fan shape behind her.
A golden light shone from the muzzle, indicating that it had entered charging mode.
"Fire!"
As Mira's clear and sweet shout rang out, the five floating cannons instantly dispersed, silently sweeping towards different locations on the rooftop battlefield.
Sometimes they hovered close to the roof ridge, and sometimes they rose into the air to overlook the entire field, bringing the entire area under their range.
Just as a roadblock zombie, blocked by a nut, stretched out its claw, a scorching particle beam pierced precisely through its head.
The protection offered by the roadblock helmet is as thin as paper compared to the high-tech floating cannons manufactured by giant corporations.
As soon as another ordinary zombie stepped out of the wormhole, it was simultaneously locked onto by two floating cannons.
Two beams of particle light crossed and struck, leaving two charred holes in his thin chest.
Mira moved about the defensive line, her long golden hair fluttering in the wind. With a flick of her wrist, she caused five floating cannons to weave a dense web of death among the attacking horde of corpses.
A buckethead zombie poked half its body out of the wormhole, but before it could even let out a roar, it was bombarded by three floating cannons.
The sturdy iron helmet overheated and melted rapidly under the continuous burning of the particle beam, eventually exploding along with the head.
The situation on the rooftop battlefield reversed instantly, with particle beams flying everywhere, and enemies one after another were reduced to charred remains lying on the ground.
"So strong..."
Watching Mira's wonderful performance, Kretz couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Despite being positioned as a guerrilla fighter, the Starfruit plant spirit performed even better than him, the damage dealer.
Compared to the two, Kretz couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
Although his grenade launcher was quite powerful, it took time to reload each time, and its attack range was limited by the trajectory of the projectiles. Even with a group of cabbage-shaped grenade launchers, they could only barely stop the enemy's attack.
With just her five freely wielded floating cannons, Camilla alone was able to dominate the entire field, her efficiency was simply astonishing.
"Looks like I can't fall behind!"
Kretz gritted his teeth, his fighting spirit rekindling in his eyes.
He took a deep breath, shaped ten grenades, stuffed them all into the launcher, and fired all the grenades at once again.
This time, the explosion was no longer just a simple flash of fire, but formed a small mushroom cloud.
The shockwave spread in a ring, blasting away all enemies within a ten-meter radius. As the smoke cleared, a vacuum area reappeared on the rooftop battlefield.
