In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

Chapter 574 The Road to the Future

Although Ulanlinqin demonstrated her formidable strength by killing a giant zombie head-on, the fearful horde of zombies dared not continue their pursuit.

However, not long after the convoy left the area where the giant zombie had died, the strong life force still attracted many new low-level zombies.

The reliable Heavy Edge mercenaries immediately joined the battle, and under the leadership of Glaus, Feng Ye, and the four captains, they wiped out all the enemies blocking their way.

The guards and plant warriors pulled the triggers, continuously shooting down key targets equipped with sturdy armor.

The able-bodied vagrants who had been given grenades also tried to launch an attack, throwing smoking grenades one after another into the depths of the horde of corpses.

boom! boom! boom! boom!

Deep, muffled explosions came one after another from the horde of zombies, and even the low-level zombies were blown to pieces.

Although these young and strong wanderers had not received formal military training, they still managed to inflict considerable damage on the horde of zombies thanks to their enthusiasm and physical strength.

Upon seeing this, the faces of the few daring vagrants, which had turned pale with fear, regained some color.

The fear and timidity in their eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by excitement and exhilaration.

The low-level zombies that would normally make me tremble at the sight of a group are now easy targets to eliminate. It feels so different to have a weapon in hand!

"Don't be afraid, we have grenades, let's blast these damn low-level zombies to death!"

The homeless people cheered each other on and stuffed new grenades into their companions' hands.

Seeing this, the guards nearby couldn't help but offer them some guidance.

"You have to throw a grenade like this, have you ever gripped the hand before? Not too tight, not too loose!"

"Remember, only move your arms, not your body."

"When releasing the grenade, snap your wrist down sharply. This gives the grenade an acceleration and increases the throwing distance."

With guidance from these former federal soldiers, the wanderers gradually found their rhythm, and their grenade-throwing efficiency improved significantly.

The explosions created a continuous burst of light, and the smoke, dust, and stench of blood filled the air, temporarily halting the low-level zombies' frenzied charge towards the convoy.

"Simmons, how many grenades did we actually get from that armory?"

He had just fired a barrage of machine gun fire, emptying the gun of all its ammunition.

Shunjue skillfully hid behind the platform's railing and used his zombie spiritual power to shape a new magazine.

While loading the ammunition, he asked Simmons, who was holding a sniper rifle, with curiosity.

"No more, no less, just thirty or forty boxes, twenty-five pills per box. You can calculate it yourself."

Simmons didn't look away; he was still carefully searching through the scope for a suitable target to snipe.

Soon, he spotted a bright red All-Star Zombie among the dense horde of corpses.

The opponent was incredibly fast, nimbly weaving through the low-level zombies, making it almost impossible for Simmons to track its movements.

"Qianming, Shunjue, do me a favor."

Realizing that he couldn't possibly take down the All-Star Zombie by himself, Simmons didn't hesitate to ask his two trusted partners for help.

"What's the deal?"

"An All-Star Zombie has appeared in the horde. Help me pinpoint its location."

Shunjue couldn't help but whistle: "All-Star Zombies? Wild ones? Interesting."

"It's quite rare that the Imperial 59th Army's reconnaissance unit didn't discover it."

Upon hearing this familiar military designation, Qianming couldn't help but recall a certain Imperial officer he had once met: "If Commander Reid knew, he might personally take this newcomer under his command."

"Do you remember Reed, that simple-minded, muscle-bound guy? I get angry just thinking about him."

Shunjue took a big sip of saliva: "Not very capable, but has a big temper. He just blindly leads his group of All-Stars forward, and after being repelled by the powerful firepower, we have to go up and clean up the mess for the All-Stars. How many of the brothers who followed him to attack the courtyard ever come back?"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Simmons couldn't help but urge, "Stop bringing up those old stories. The most important thing right now is to deal with this All-Star Zombie as soon as possible and prevent it from wreaking havoc on our convoy."

Upon hearing this, Qianming and Shunjue immediately stopped talking, then activated their zombie spirit power, using thermal vision and sound wave perception respectively, to search for the All-Star Zombie.

Qianming's eyes gleamed slightly, his gaze piercing through his glasses and into the depths of the horde of corpses.

In his vision, everything turned completely gray, except for the life forms with spiritual power, which retained their own colors and appeared before Qianming in the form of flames.

The more spiritual power one possesses, the more intense the burning flames become. That All-Star Zombie was very strong, so its spiritual flames were naturally larger than those of the lower-level zombies around it.

"Heat" refers to high temperature, and "energy" refers to abundant spiritual power. The combination of the two is the reason why Qianming's Chosen Technique is so powerful.

His gaze swept across the sea of ​​small flames, and soon Qianming noticed the most vigorous cluster among them.

"It's at three o'clock, over there!"

At the same time, using his enhanced hearing, Shunjue successfully captured the unique footsteps of the All-Star Zombie.

The sound of cleats clicking as they strode along was so jarring, like a discordant note in a piece of music, firmly locked onto by the fully activated perception.

"It's now!"

Qianming let out a sharp shout and aimed his fully loaded anti-materiel rifle at the All-Star Zombie.

Pulling the trigger, the bullet fired, creating a conspicuous hole in the latter's rugby helmet.

"Don't try to escape!"

The All-Star Zombie even tried to hide behind other low-level zombies and use them as meat shields.

But Shunjue wouldn't give it that chance. He grabbed a machine gun and unleashed a burst of bullets, turning the low-level zombie into pieces.

"Simmons!"

"give it to me!"

A muffled gunshot tore through the air, and a bullet imbued with plant-based energy pierced the sky, accurately striking the large hole in the rugby helmet and shattering the All-Star Zombie's head.

"Good job!"

Shunjue shouted excitedly, and the machine gun in his hand continued to spit fire, sweeping away wave after wave of low-level zombies.

Qianming stopped using his thermal vision technique and gave Simmons a thumbs up.

Simmons put down his sniper rifle, raised an eyebrow and said, "It's nothing. Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to take care of that All-Star Zombie quickly."

······

Gunshots, explosions, and the roar of engines echoed in everyone's ears, but no low-level zombie could break through the convoy's rock-solid defenses.

"Now's the time, full speed ahead!"

Upon seeing this, Kolo, who was closely monitoring the battle situation, immediately issued new orders.

The engine roared up a notch instantly, and the convoy left the horde of zombies far behind.

Around 8 or 9 p.m., they finally crossed the abandoned city and entered the southeastern suburbs where courtyard number 5905 was located.
