In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

Chapter 610 Generous Aid from Allies

The Aomori Rangers' gazes held scrutiny and suspicion, but more than anything, they were weighing the possibility of Situ Shaowu's words.

"Underground...subway hub..."

Kerberon did not respond immediately, but repeated those words in a low voice.

Qu Shounan tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "It is indeed a good place. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is well-connected and can be continuously dug down to expand in depth. If I were them, I would probably choose this place as well."

The group of wandering warriors present lowered their voices and exchanged their opinions, unanimously agreeing that this possibility did indeed exist.

"Indeed, for some time now, we have limited our investigation to the surface or high-rise buildings, thus neglecting the underground of this abandoned city."

Kerberon bowed slightly to express his gratitude to Situ Shaowu: "Thank you for your valuable advice, young homeowner. We will send someone to the northwest district of Abandoned City No. 59 to investigate the situation there."

Several veteran rangers nodded in agreement and cast approving glances at him.

"Notify all fellow adventurers that it is best to form groups of seven to ten and search in the northwest area of ​​Abandoned City No. 59. While ensuring your own safety, look for traces left by the Path of Redemption."

Kerberon's voice rang out again, instantly pulling the rangers back to reality from their chaotic thoughts.

"Remember, your mission is reconnaissance, not combat. Once you discover anything, immediately contact your fellow wandering knights nearby. The officers of Redemption Road are not to be underestimated. And don't forget, they never hesitate to use innocent people as bargaining chips."

His expression was grave as he added, "Avoid conflict with other forces, especially the Imperial forces and the Howling Moon Hunters, who have also been active in this war zone recently."

Qu Shounan frowned and asked in a low voice, "What if they make the first move?"

"Avoid if you can; if you can't avoid it, just defend and don't attack. Withdraw from the battle as soon as possible and don't get entangled with them."

Kerberon's reply was unequivocal: "We are knights-errant fighting for justice, not bloodthirsty thugs. Never forget who we are, and never forget our bottom line."

These words completely dashed the hopes of some warmongers. Alfred clicked his tongue regretfully and hung the flashbang grenade he had just pulled out back on his belt.

“There is another matter. Not long ago, I visited courtyard number 5976, and Mr. Zhao there said that the World Communist Party is willing to provide us with support.”

As soon as Kerberon finished speaking, the tense atmosphere in the cabin immediately relaxed considerably.

After all, these wandering knights from all over the world had also heard of the World Communist Party's resounding reputation.

Even Situ Shaowu, who had only recently become the homeowner, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard "Courtyard No. 5976".

He knew this reliable senior; not long ago, the senior had personally visited him to express his condolences for Master Ouyang and to donate a batch of basic supplies to courtyard number 5918.

"Courtyard No. 5921 is willing to provide us with supplies, while Courtyard No. 5944 will send a guerrilla team to assist us in carrying out a large-scale hunt on the Redemption Path."

Kerberon's expression softened slightly, and he gave a gentle smile: "Mr. Zhao also said that he is willing to help us contact some like-minded homeowners to obtain more assistance."

"The World Communist Party? They are indeed worthy of our trust."

An elderly swordsman with white hair and beard slowly spoke, his voice carrying the vicissitudes of time, yet each word was firm and powerful: "The help from the World Alliance is undoubtedly a timely gift for us swordsmen."

"Yes."

Spruance nodded vigorously and picked up his cedar longbow: "Now we don't have to worry about food and medicine, and we can focus more on searching for the stronghold of the Path of Redemption."

"But this does not mean we can let our guard down."

Kerberon raised his hand and gestured for the rangers present to be quiet: "I have been investigating in Zone 59 for some time and found that the Redemption Path has been cultivating this place for quite some time."

“The mentor is right. They have set up temporary outposts in many places in the abandoned city, such as the air-raid shelter cluster located between the hinterland and the buffer zone.”

A still somewhat green oak archer named Plant Spirit raised his hand to speak. He was a fellow clansman of Kerberon and one of the rangers who had followed this legendary ranger to track the Redemption Path to Zone 59: "At the same time, we also discovered some shops, all opened by the lower-level members of the Redemption Path, selling women and children that they had obtained through various means."

"That's right, that's why we must be even more cautious and never let even one fellow wanderer fall into danger or lose their life."

Kerberon's voice became low and solemn, each word like a heavy stone pressing down on the hearts of every knight in the cabin.

He slowly raised his hand and pointed to the spot on the map that was firmly pinned down by arrows: "They are not loose bandits, but an organized, large-scale, and territorial evil criminal group."

The legendary ranger's fingers slowly traced the arrows, as if he could see through the map and touch the intricate web of sin beneath the ground.

"If the previous deduction is correct, the Redemption Path must have used the complex underground structure to establish a base and hide their sins and secrets."

Kerberon's gaze swept over the group of rangers: "This also means that we will be facing a complex underground labyrinth, as well as those treacherous members of the Redemption Path."

"But this is precisely their Achilles' heel."

Gu Qinian, who had remained silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "This main base located deep underground can be their reliance, or it can be their grave."

"Gu Xiaojianxian, what do you mean?"

Alfred raised an eyebrow, his renewed interest making him temporarily forget the embarrassment of being loudly reprimanded by Kelsys earlier.

Gu Qinian did not answer immediately, but instead stretched out his hand and pointed to the arrow mark on the map.

"In the ruined city, the Redemption Path could scurry around like rats, but the underground is different. There aren't as many places for them to run. To protect this main base, the Redemption Path will inevitably have to set up layers of defenses. It's like a trapped beast fighting..."

He withdrew his hand and lightly flicked the hilt of his sword with his fingertips: "We only need to completely seal off the ground, and they will be trapped like turtles in a jar."

"What a perfect trap!"

A glint flashed in Kerberon's eyes, and a chorus of agreement immediately arose from inside the cabin.

Just as the adventurers were intensely discussing what to do next, there was a sudden knock on the door of the cabin.

"Seniors, a team has arrived outside the camp!"

The ranger who came to deliver the message was a young man in charge of guarding the camp. He always stayed on the watchtower not far from the main gate.

Seeing him rush into the wooden house, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead, it was clear that he had run all the way there.

"Why panic!"

Kelsys frowned and manipulated the vines to hand a towel to the other party: "Make it clear, are you a passing Imperial force, or the wolf riders of the Howling Moon Hunt?"

"None of them!"

The young ranger took a deep breath, trying to calm his rapid breathing: "It's the Spark Guerrilla Team from Courtyard 5949. They're carrying several truckloads of supplies. They say they were sent by the owner of Courtyard 5976 to deliver the first batch of supplies, as agreed between that owner and Senior Azure Arrow Shadow, and they hope to join our hunting operation!"

There was a moment of silence inside the cabin, followed by a burst of loud cheers.

"It's just the right time!"

"With these supplies, we can hold out in the ruins for much longer!"

"As expected of the World Federation of Communist Party of China, this is truly a grand gesture!"

Kerberon straightened his cloak and gave a relieved smile: "Let's go and meet our allies."

Led by him, the group of wandering knights left the wooden house and arrived at the entrance of the camp.

Outside the wooden wall, a fully armed elite team, carrying their red flag, had been waiting for some time in the open space not far away.
