In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

Chapter 569 Let's Make a Big Scene

"Okay, let's not worry about that for now, let's continue the meeting."

Glaus waved his hand somewhat helplessly, signaling the remaining four captains to continue the meeting.

He knew that Nono had extremely serious personality problems, and the reasons that led her to become like this were too complicated to be resolved overnight.

At this stage, Chongfeng is unable to restore Nuonuo to normal, so it's best to let things take their course.

Glaius's voice became steady, carrying the authority befitting a commander: "The departure time is set for the morning. Once the convoy from Courtyard 5905 arrives, we will travel with them to that War Courtyard."

The four team leaders nodded in agreement, indicating that they knew what to do.

The mercenaries of Chongfeng come from all walks of life, including retired plant spirit warriors and ordinary people struggling to make a living.

But since joining Chongfeng, without exception, they have all been willing to entrust their lives to the two regimental commanders and their comrades.

"Steel Fist, you'll lead a team to follow me as the vanguard."

"Understood, my fists have been itching for a fight for ages!"

Steel Fist grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. He clenched his fists and slammed them together in front of his chest, displaying great energy.

"The second team has the most challenging task: protect the target and protect yourselves."

"As ordered."

He straightened the goggles on his nose and responded calmly.

"Team Three..."

Glaius's gaze fell on the spot that should have belonged to Nono, but was now empty.

He paused, then continued, "Their fire support is very important. Lao Ye, could you please inform the brothers in the third team later to make sure their weapons don't malfunction during the battle?"

Feng Ye nodded slightly, still maintaining his cool demeanor: "Okay."

"Spear tips, bullet casings, teams four and five will continue as usual, assisting the members of the other three teams in combat, and be ready to fill in at any time."

"Yes!"

The spearhead and the cartridge case spoke in unison, their eyes filled with intense fighting spirit.

"For this mission, we, the Chongfeng mercenaries, must perform well in front of the plant spirit warriors in that war courtyard and make a name for ourselves with our strength!"

Glaus slammed his large hand down so hard that it left a clear handprint on the table.

After the meeting, the team leaders dispersed to begin preparing for the upcoming mission.

Glaus plopped back into his seat, rubbing his temples wearily. He looked out the window at the gradually brightening sky, but his mind remained unsettled.

"Still worried about Nono?"

Feng Ye's voice rang in Glaius's ears, calm and undisturbed.

"Yes, ever since we rescued Nuonuo and she joined Chongfeng, her symptoms have become more and more serious. Even with the improvement of her medical skills, Nuonuo still can't cure her heart disease."

Glaius shook his hand and continued, "His emotions are becoming increasingly weak, almost non-existent, his personality is becoming more and more withdrawn, and he has even shown self-destructive tendencies. Old Ye, you saw it in today's meeting. What's the difference between Nono now and those low-level zombies in the ruined city?"

His voice echoed in the empty room, sounding lost and helpless.

“Nono can’t go on like this, Glaus. You need to be prepared to find a new medic for Chongfeng.”

Feng Ye spoke calmly and incisively, stating the truth of the matter.

Chongfeng is a mercenary group that lives on the edge, not a charity that shelters the sick.

What should they do if Nono affects or even drags down other members of the team, leading to failed commissions and personnel losses?

Glaius shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I noticed it during the last battle. Nono doesn't care about her own safety at all. Despite being the team's medic, she's always charging to the front. If Steel Fist hadn't reacted quickly and pulled her back, the consequences would have been unimaginable..."

“She wasn’t unaware; on the contrary, Nono was simply punishing herself in this way.”

Feng Ye interrupted Glaus: "That child thinks she doesn't deserve to live, doesn't deserve our care and attention. In her view, pain and death are the only fate she deserves."

The swordsman's mind was so perceptive that he understood the root of the problem simply through his daily observations.

Feng Ye's words reminded Glaus of the first time he met Nono.

A burning courtyard, corpses everywhere, a girl held tightly in her parents' arms, and a zombie-like face that still seems incredibly ugly to this day.

That damned mind-controller...

Pushing the code name that suddenly popped into his mind out of his head, Glaius muttered to himself, "We took Nono in, so we should take responsibility. We can't just stand by and watch her ruin herself."

Feng Ye sighed, a rare occurrence for him. He walked to the window, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "Then let's give Nuonuo some more time. I admit, she is indeed an excellent team doctor."

"It can only be the."

Glaus said nothing more and got up to leave the room.

······

Just as the Chongfeng mercenaries began preparing for their departure, the convoy from Courtyard 5905 successfully entered the streets of the abandoned city.

Unfortunately, as the convoy left the highway, it was suddenly attacked by a wave of monsters from the ruined city.

Those disgusting clumps of slime severely hampered the convoy's progress, even causing one bus's engine to fail and break down on the spot.

With monsters in front and hordes of corpses behind, Kolo had no choice but to abandon the bus and have the guards on board quickly evacuate to other vehicles.

Fortunately, although a bus was left behind in the ruins, no one was injured or killed.

"Captain, how far are we from our destination?"

The guard in charge of driving the lead vehicle rubbed his eyes and turned to ask Chloe, who was standing next to him.

Kolo looked up at the sky outside the car window, which was already beginning to brighten, and calculated the time and speed the convoy needed.

After thinking for a moment, he gave an answer: "There are still about 93 kilometers to go. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to reach the settlement around 7 a.m.

Upon hearing this, the guards nodded and continued to focus their attention on the road conditions in front of them.

Once they entered the abandoned city's streets, the convoy slowed down.

The reason is simple: the streets here are not as wide as highways, and there are many obstacles on the road.

Collapsed roads, abandoned vehicles, and buildings reduced to rubble all require the convoy to handle with care.

Besides, the convoy attracted not only countless low-level zombies and annoying monsters.

Aomori Ranger, hidden in the green belt, stared wide-eyed in shock as the convoy drove by.

In another block, a giant man walking among the corpses, fiddling with the prayer beads in his hand, raised his head warily and looked into the distance.

On a high-rise building, several figures stood on the edge of the rooftop, casting their slightly curious gazes at the convoy.

In the sky, a pink mech flying at high speed over Zone 59 detected the movement below and couldn't help but slow down its flight.

Without exception, they all had only one thought in their minds.

[Who is behind this huge commotion?]
