In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

In War Base No. 59, there is a very special building.

The level of security here is equally tight, second only to the eldest princess's palace and headquarters among war bases.

Empire Combat Laboratory No. 59 is the name of this building.

Each war base is equipped with a combat laboratory, manned by members of the Imperial Scientific Corps.

The Imperial Scientific Force is a fourth army independent of the three armies. It is sparse in number and mainly consists of scientific researchers and prototype troops.

With the permission of His Majesty the Head of State and the strong sponsorship of "Z Technology", the largest emerging technology enterprise in the Empire, the Imperial Science Force was successfully established.

Scientific researchers are responsible for developing new technologies, and prototype troops are responsible for using these new technologies.

As a trump card in the hands of the Empire, the Imperial Scientific Force has caused a lot of trouble to the Federation.

Z-technology ray gun, suppressor robot, vacuum bomb, war fortress...

Various new inventions continue to appear on the battlefield, making the spiritual warriors of the Federation Army miserable.

In a spotless white room, dozens of zombie scientists gathered together to discuss this scientific research project.

They are scientific researchers sent to War Base No. 59 by the Imperial Science Force. They are led by a professor and three experts and have made great contributions to the scientific research of War Base No. 59.

It's just that when the previous commander-in-chief took office, he didn't pay much attention to scientific research, but instead devoted all his resources to offense.

This also left Combat Laboratory No. 59 idle for a long time. It was not until the arrival of the eldest princess that it got back on track.

Ye Yang understands very well that scientific and technological progress is the primary productive force.

What are the researchers doing if they are left idle? Eating almonds for free? Scientific research must continue.

So with a wave of her hand, she allocated 40 million world points directly from her private treasury for scientific research funding.

This move made all the scientific researchers of Combat Laboratory No. 59 extremely excited. In order to live up to the expectations of Her Majesty the Princess, they immediately began to study without sleep or food.

Among the Imperial Scientific Forces, the prototype troops were under the command of the Imperial Military Department, and the scientific researchers were naturally in charge of the Imperial Science Department.

The Imperial Science Department regularly assigns topics to the combat laboratories of each war base for scientific research to continuously promote the development of science and technology.

If the scientific researchers participating in the project can complete the scientific research within the specified time limit, then these researchers will be rewarded and receive more benefits.

Similarly, the commander-in-chief of the war base can also have priority to use the latest scientific research results on this topic.

Just as at this moment, the research topic of Combat Laboratory No. 59 is a tactical agent called "Death Bite".

This tactical agent is specially designed to provide effective support when attacking the War Garden.

The content of plant spirit energy in the War Garden is very rich. In the home battle, the combat effectiveness of the plant spirit warriors can also be strengthened to a certain extent.

"Bite of Death" targets the environment of the War Garden. When the agent evaporates, a large amount of zombie aura will be produced, which will dissolve the plant aura of the War Garden.

At the same time, a large amount of zombie aura can simulate an environment similar to a large cemetery, allowing low-level undead to be born in the war garden.

At present, the first "Death Bite" has been developed and can be put into actual combat and mass-produced.

However, the empire's scientific researchers feel that the current results are not outstanding, and they are trying every means to enhance the effect of the Death Bite.

After all, the better the results, the higher the bonus will be, and the future treatment and benefits will be better.

"I think the environmental effects of Death Bite can be enhanced. The best environment can enhance the warriors of the empire."

"The proposal is very good. If it can be combined with the captains' natural selection skills, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

"Perhaps, we should increase the proportion of death grass and add some underground rhizome debris and cold moon flower components."

"It might be better if we can make the plant spirit blind."

The zombie scientists were chattering and discussing, obviously full of great enthusiasm for the experiment.

The gray-haired professor felt the extremely enthusiastic discussion atmosphere of the students he taught personally, and showed a pleased expression.

He is the general director of Combat Laboratory No. 59, a veteran professor from Imperial Central University.

After joining the Imperial Science Corps, he took his students to the combat laboratory in War Garden 59 and began a long research career.

"Okay, okay. With outstanding talents like you, the Empire will be able to completely defeat the Federation in the future and become the sole overlord of the modern world."

While the old professor continued to praise his students, a somewhat lonely figure who did not participate in the discussion came into his eyes.

The silver-white hair shone under the sterilizing lamp, and although his face was handsome, his unkempt beard looked a bit worn.

This tall and thin young man was scrawled in a researcher-style white coat. He stared at the ceiling with a pair of dead fish eyes in a daze.

The old professor was stunned for a moment, then walked to him gently and patted his shoulder: "Hinkel, what are you thinking about?"

The zombie scientist named Schinkel was startled, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was a professor.

"Ah, teacher? I was shocked. When did you show up here?"

"Don't ask me why I'm here. Why don't you participate in the discussion among your classmates?"

The old professor frowned and looked at Schinkel with confusion.

"I···"

"I know you are a genius. You have won many awards at the age of only twenty-two, and therefore you were specially recruited into the scientific force.

But you must not slack off and give up on your ideals. "

The old professor narrated in Schinkel's ear, leaving the young zombie scientist a little at a loss.

"Sorry, teacher, I have been having trouble sleeping recently. I will go and participate in the discussion now."

Hinkel interrupted, changed the topic, and then walked towards the students who were discussing.

"Hinkel, you are my best student, you must not disappoint my expectations."

The old professor looked at Schinkel's back with some concern and couldn't help but sigh heavily.

Since returning from the field trip a year ago, the student I value most has become a little absent-minded, and I am not so passionate about the scientific research career I once loved most.

I really don’t know what evil was done to make Hinkel become like this.

The old professor did not notice that when he said the name Schinkel, a glimmer of darkness flashed in Schinkel's eyes.

But soon, Schinkel naturally joined the discussion.

"Professor, great news!"

An expert hurried into the laboratory with an expression of joy on his face.

"Elder Princess... Her Majesty the Commander-in-Chief has agreed to our request to go out and is willing to send troops to escort us there."

"Really? That's great."

When the old professor heard this, he also showed the same expression.

The exploration team of War Base No. 59 discovered a resource point in the abandoned city of No. 59, where many death grasses grew.

The plant Death Grass contains a large amount of zombie spiritual power and is one of the most important raw materials for preparing the "Bite of Death".

Combat Laboratory No. 59 does not currently have a large reserve of death grass. The discovery of this resource point has just alleviated the problem of material shortage among scientific researchers.

The old professor immediately informed his students of the news, and soon submitted the list of personnel for the expedition, and Schinkel's name was among them.
