In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

Chapter 577 New Residents, New Life

Earlier, after enduring at least dozens of waves of attacks from low-level zombies or abandoned city monsters, the convoy, having fought its way through the thorns and brambles, finally arrived safely at courtyard number 5905.

Odin received the news from Xiaodana and arrived at the front yard battlefield ahead of time with several plant spirit warriors and a group of guards to prepare to guide the convoy into the courtyard.

The lead mining truck stopped on the road outside the front yard battlefield. Kolo quickly got out of the truck and hurried into the yard.

Norman was a step behind him, since his bus was sandwiched in the middle of the convoy and not too close to the courtyard.

Some of the guards also got out of the car to carry out their guard duties in case low-level zombies wandering near the courtyard launch a surprise attack.

"I have fulfilled my mission, General Odin!"

Kolo strode up to Odin and gave him a solemn military salute.

"Hmm, how much damage did you suffer?"

Odin didn't bother with pleasantries and went straight to the point.

"None of the field personnel were injured, and all the homeless arrived safely, but..."

At this point, Chloe's tone became slightly hesitant.

Odin's expression remained unchanged: "Just what?"

"A bus broke down on its way to its destination and had to be abandoned."

As he said this, Chloe couldn't help but swallow hard.

"It's alright, it's good that everyone is back safe and sound. I will report the extent of the damage to the homeowner when he returns."

Upon hearing this, Odin breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just a modified bus; the damage is still within the acceptable range for the courtyard.

He turned to Norman, who had also come up to him: "How many wanderers did you recruit this time?"

Norman replied, "Including family members, there are a total of 527 people. I will have Lorne pass on the detailed files to Ms. Wisdom Tree, so please rest assured."

Norman is truly a veteran who can do the work of three people; he's so reliable that he's saved Odin a lot of trouble.

"Wait, where's Fengyu? Didn't she come back with you?"

Realizing that the plant spirit warrior reporting to him was not Wind Whisper, but Norman, Odin, suddenly realizing what was happening, quickly asked a question.

Norman scratched his head and immediately replied, "Captain Windwhisper said she has important business to attend to and asked us to take the wanderers back to the courtyard first."

"Okay, I see."

Considering Fengyu's special status, Odin felt he didn't need to worry too much.

After all, the wind, having been away for a long time, will always remember to come back.

"Oh, General, there's one more thing."

"What's the matter?"

"On this return trip, we took it upon ourselves to hire a Class B mercenary group to accompany and protect the convoy..."

Following the direction Norman was pointing, Odin quickly spotted the small vehicles (off-road jeeps and armed Humvees) mixed in with the convoy, as well as the conspicuous group of Heavy Armor mercenaries.

"The proper hiring process wasn't followed?"

"Correct."

Odin's gaze lingered on Glaus and Fengye for a few seconds before quickly shifting away.

His extensive experience on the battlefield told him that those two mercenaries were definitely skilled.

"Understood, Norman. Go to the Community Tree and tell Ms. Wisdom Tree about this. I will handle the hiring fee issue."

"Yes."

Norman nodded, then turned and left.

Seeing this, Odin gave Chloe new instructions: "Guide the convoy into the community, maintain order, arrange for new residents to register at the community center, and... settle those mercenaries down, don't let them cause trouble."

Chloe raised her hand in salute again: "Yes, sir."

······

Guided by directions, the convoy drove into courtyard number 5905, passed through the front yard battlefield, and arrived at the community.

Glaus and Maple jumped out of the off-road jeep they were riding in and stared at the thriving war courtyard in front of them, momentarily stunned.

"Wow, this is the courtyard? It looks really grand!"

Glaius, carrying a giant sword, looked around like a country bumpkin who had just arrived in the city and wished he had two pairs of eyes.

Feng Ye, with a long sword at his waist, nodded in agreement: "These courtyards in the war zone are independent territories that the Federation allows to exist. They are no different from the border towns in the Federation mainland, and may even be more prosperous."

The Chongfeng mercenaries also got out of the car and looked around curiously, examining everything in the courtyard.

Glaus suddenly slapped his forehead: "By the way, Lao Ye, where did Nono go?"

Feng Ye recalled carefully: "She was injured earlier and was taken onto the truck by that young female martial artist who wielded a long spear. She was probably taken to the hospital in the courtyard."

"Sigh, this child is really a worry for us."

Glaus sighed and decided to go look for Nono later.

As for the reason, a plant spirit warrior from courtyard number 5905 has already come before them.

The newcomer was Gregory. After carefully confirming Glaus and Feng Ye's identities, he slowly asked, "Are you the captain and vice-captain of Chongfeng?"

Glaus nodded. "Yes, what do you need us for?"

"Ms. Wisdom Tree and Brigadier General Krieg invite you both to the community center to discuss the issue of hiring fees."

Although Gregory was usually quiet and reserved, he never let anyone down when it mattered.

"As for the reward? We definitely have to go. Old Ye, you stay here and let Iron Fist and Wall Skin come with me."

Glaus stroked his chin and readily accepted Gregory's invitation.

"Row."

Feng Ye nodded slightly, then sent a message to the two captains who had been mentioned by Glaus.

Seeing the noisy group of Heavy Armor mercenaries not far away, Gregory couldn't help but remind them, "During this time, please keep your men in check and do not cause any unnecessary trouble."

Glaus said loudly, "Please rest assured, we understand the reasoning."

······

A long line had formed in front of the community center, with homeless people patiently waiting for community staff from courtyard number 5905 to register their household registration.

The plant warriors, having successfully completed their mission, returned home, intending to take a good rest and enjoy their rare vacation.

The newly arrived plant warriors, led by Lorne, each received their own house keys and eagerly began their new life in courtyard number 5905.

Only Ulanlinqin, who was invited as a guest, led Nono, who had just woken up and looked bewildered, towards the medical center under Eve's guidance.

Nono asked warily, "Where are you taking me?"

"This is Courtyard 5905. We're taking you to the courtyard's medical center. You were injured in the battle and need to be examined."

Eve pointed to Nono's shoulder, where Su Nuan had wrapped a bandage around it.

"No need, I can handle these minor injuries myself."

Nono turned her head away indifferently, opened her hands, and condensed a ball of sunlight energy in her palm.

Eve shook her head vigorously: "That won't do either, we need to get a proper checkup!"

"Tsk, what a nuisance!"

Nono let out a cold snort and reached for the tactical knife at her waist.

But before she could even touch the hilt of the knife, Ulanlinqin grabbed her arm.

"Little sister, that's not a good thing to do."

Ulanlinqin smiled, but her eyes held a hint of coldness: "Would you please cooperate with the examination?"

She emphasized the last three words, staring intently at Nuonuo, who was clearly somewhat dissatisfied.

"you···"

Feeling the force coming from her arm, Nono's golden eyes revealed a look of horror.

At this moment, she could clearly judge the vast difference in strength between herself and her opponent.

The thoughts of rebellion in my mind vanished in an instant.

"If you listen to me, you can suffer less. The medical environment here is much better than yours as mercenaries. You don't want your comrades to worry about you, do you?"

Ulanlinqin's smile remained unchanged, but her tone softened considerably.

Nono bit her lip hard, but in the end, she gave up the idea of ​​fighting back and decided to obediently accept the examination.

"let me go."

Her voice lowered, carrying a barely perceptible hint of submission.

"Hey, that's right."

Ulanlinqin immediately released her hand, her face still bearing that kind and amiable smile.
