In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

Chapter 563 The convoy departs to prepare for the rendezvous.

On the street of courtyard number 5905, the thin mist of night had not yet dissipated, and a convoy was already ready to set off.

The roar of engines echoed through the quiet streets, and the headlights pierced through the fog.

This convoy consisted of buses and mining trucks, with the bodies covered in welded and reinforced steel plates, the tires fitted with puncture-resistant layers, and the windshields replaced with bulletproof frosted material.

All the vehicles have been modified, significantly improving their defensive capabilities.

After all, in the ruined city, only large vehicles with sturdy shells and stable chassis can avoid being overwhelmed and overturned by the horde of low-level zombies.

These large trucks were all purchased by Mo Chen from courtyard number 5979, allowing the shrewd fox fairy owner to earn a large sum of world points.

As payment for solving her caffeine problem, Qingqiu Shiyu not only bought the modified cars from the auto repair shop cluster in courtyard 5905 at a high price, but also gave her a batch of materials for modifying vehicles.

Mo Chen had no reason to refuse the seemingly generous but actually shrewd kindness of the fox spirit owner.

Only by maintaining a good, mutually beneficial relationship and avoiding any sense of obligation can we ensure that future transactions can proceed smoothly.

Of course, Mo Chen firmly denied that he had almost been distracted by the other party's alluring charm during the transaction and nearly overpaid by 20% of the world points.

Dozens of fully armed guards stood beside the convoy, waiting for the amateur mechanics to complete the pre-departure vehicle inspections.

These former federal veterans, who have followed Odin for a long time, are all highly skilled, having been on the battlefield and proficient in hand-to-hand combat, shooting, and driving vehicles.

The old general was extremely relieved to entrust them with the task of going to the university gathering area to provide support.

Courtyard 5905 simply doesn't have enough manpower available right now, so sending out the War Courtyard's garrison is a last resort.

However, after the operation to capture Nightmare was successfully completed, Xiao Da considered that the security force in the courtyard seemed to be too weak, so she suggested to Mo Chen that the guard team be armed.

This was exactly what Mo Chen was thinking, so he spent a huge sum of money to contact Qingqiu Shiyu again and purchase a full fifty AK-47 automatic assault rifles, along with matching ammunition and maintenance supplies.

As is well known, the Federation does not allow the Courtyard to possess armed forces other than Plant Warriors (active Federation soldiers), but there are always exceptions, and there are always loopholes to be found under the rules.

For example, the community could form its own security team to protect the neighborhood, or apply for the relevant authority from the federal military to train a group of loyal militia.

In this regard, homeowners always use their ingenious ideas to improve the overall quality of their yards, even at the cost of skirting the edge of the law.

Take Courtyard 5905 for example. The war zone is so chaotic. In order to maintain order and stability in the courtyard, it's perfectly normal for each member of our garrison to have an AK.

While the vehicles were still undergoing maintenance, the guards who were part of the support mission were not idle and began to carefully check the firearms that had been distributed to them.

For various special reasons, while still in the courtyard, the guards could only use the same non-lethal equipment as before (riot batons, riot forks, tasers, etc.).

However, once the need arises to go out on field duty like it is now, they will be able to carry and use these firearms appropriately.

Although the guards of Courtyard 5905 were mostly from the Metropolis, they had never used the AK, an automatic assault rifle that was very famous in the old days.

However, having served in the federal forces for many years and received systematic small arms training, they were naturally familiar with the use of these classic firearms.

Within two hours of receiving the firearms, the garrison members had mastered the skills to use these new guns.

Familiar footsteps came from not far away, and the guards immediately straightened their backs, stood at attention, and turned their eyes in unison.

The garrison captain, Kolo, quickly raised his hand and gave the newcomer a standard military salute: "General!"

"Okay, very energetic."

Looking at these veterans who had followed him for so long, a rare look of satisfaction appeared on Odin's face.

Even though time has left deep marks on their faces, their temples are gray, and their physical strength is no longer what it used to be.

But the guards' eyes remained resolute, just as they had always been.

Odin nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the familiar faces, and said in a steady and powerful voice:

"This mission is very important. You are excellent warriors that I can trust. That is why I am entrusting you with the task of going to the university gathering place to meet the plant warriors and wanderers."

He paused, then suddenly raised his voice, which boomed like a bell: "Everyone, listen up! Do your best to bring me back safe and sound, one by one!"

"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!"

Odin was met with a resounding promise from his teammates.

"Okay, let's go!"

At Kolo's command, the guards swiftly boarded the modified vehicles that had been inspected and repaired, and took their positions.

The convoy slowly drove out of courtyard number 5905 and headed towards the university area.

······

The residential building, temporarily rented by courtyard number 5905, is located in a university-populated area.

Several Rheinlots on night watch gathered together, discussing the mission with great enthusiasm.

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the convoy from the courtyard will arrive at the gathering point before noon."

Norman took out the metal pocket watch he had borrowed from Odin before leaving and muttered to himself.

"Our mission this time can be described as a complete success. We not only recruited enough people, but also gained several talented individuals."

Owen, standing next to Norman, was also extremely excited. He vigorously rubbed Klein's little head, only to be shoved away by his little brother with a look of disgust.

"By the way, Lorne, who are those two you and Eve brought?"

"The one with white hair is Ms. Su Nuan. She is a garlic plant spirit with second-tier plant spirit power. This agricultural expert from Long'an is willing to register her name in our courtyard and share the technology she brings."

After introducing Su Nuan to his brothers, Lorne continued, "As for that young girl, she didn't join the courtyard; she just wanted to visit courtyard number 5905."

Klein tilted his head, looking somewhat puzzled: "Didn't that older sister join?"

Lorne explained, "She comes from the town of Harmony and is a Harmony Walker on a mission."

"I see."

Norman understood, and then continued, "Since they are guests, we must not be impolite. We should treat them well when we return to the courtyard."

"that's right."

The Rheinlots all agreed, saying that they couldn't bring shame to Courtyard 5905 while out and about.

"Speaking of which, where did Captain Fengyu go?"

Irving suddenly raised his hand and asked a question that deserved attention.

Norman shrugged and showed the message Wind Whisper had sent him to his brothers.

"Then... will Sister Fengyu still come back to the courtyard with us?"

"We need to go back first. The captain... must have something important to take care of."
