In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

After a flurry of activity, Penny and Nora finally boarded the transport plane at the last second before it took off.

Colonel Boris had a dark face, but still instructed the pilot to start the engine and fly to the destination he designated.

As I said before, taking Penny and Nora along was just a side job, the transport plane's route this time just happened to pass through Hesse County City.

"Colonel, where is your mission location this time?"

Penny was a little curious, so she spoke to Boris.

"Military secrets."

Boris snorted coldly and did not intend to tell the location of his mission. He was obviously a little upset about the two women almost being late.

"Colonel, it was indeed our fault for arriving at such a tight time.

But just tell me, we are all heroes of the association, so we won’t leak anything.”

Nora blinked, apologized sincerely, and then showed an equally expectant expression.

"Humph, War Zone 21, you know what I mean."

Boris hummed in a cool sound, as if forgiving his two juniors.

"War Zone 21, Middle East, got it."

Penny and Nora looked at each other and saw that it was natural in each other's eyes.

The situation in War Zone No. 21 is turbulent. If the Federation wants to take action in this chaotic place, the heroes it sends must be able to calm the situation.

Of the many veteran heroes in the association, the only one best suited to carry out operations in War Zone 21 is Colonel Cream.

Boris stubbed out the cigar in his mouth, took a new one from the box and lit it.

He took a deep breath, letting the smoke pass through his lungs, and then said in a muffled voice: "Oil, and magic crystals."

In the modern world with advanced energy technology, oil remains an indispensable strategic resource.

The manufacture of plastics cannot do without it, the operation of old equipment cannot do without it, and the conversion to new energy cannot do without it.

The Federation's love for oil is just like America's love for oil before Mo Chen traveled through time, and can be said to be of the same origin.

Of course, the empire and other forces will naturally not let go of the oil-rich Middle East.

What's more, as long as they can make things difficult for the federation, they are more than willing to participate.

The chaotic land today contains not only oil, but also the super-large magic crystal veins recently discovered in the abandoned city.

The importance of magic crystal ore is even higher than that of oil.

It would be most appropriate to send a plant spirit hero to investigate this matter.

After learning about the mission Boris was going to perform, Penny and Nora also began to look forward to their missions.

As the second largest and most important industrial city in the Federation, this trip to Hesse County City will definitely be exceptionally exciting.

However, the time spent waiting for the transport plane to arrive at its destination is also very long and boring.

Different from the Egret Flower passenger planes commonly used by the Federal Civil Aviation, the plane the three plant spirit heroes took this time was a military corn transport plane.

As we all know, the "gold" among the three major families of the federal royal family refers to the corn plant spirit.

The reason why the corn plant spirit was able to enter the upper class society was because of the guns in his hands.

The military industry of the Life Camp is so developed, which is inseparable from the efforts of the corn plant spirits. The most representative of them is the corn cannon plant spirit.

After all, the corn cannon plant spirit in the modern world can really bring a cannon to the battlefield.

This is the case with the corn transporter, which was the predecessor of the corn bomber, which was specifically designed to carry out tactical bombing missions.

After removing the bomb bay and attaching the manned cabin, the corn bomber was transformed into a corn transporter.

This corn transport plane was assigned to Boris by the military so that he could quickly travel to various parts of the modern world.

There is naturally nothing to enjoy on this kind of military aircraft. After all, corn transporters cannot be used to make butter ice cream.

after a while···

"Colonel Boris, we are about to enter the airspace of Hesse County City."

After checking the real-time map, the pilot immediately reported the situation to Boris.

Penny and Nora looked through the window and saw that the sky in the distance had become extremely gloomy.

It wasn't because the weather changed, but because the sky was just like that.

As an industrially developed city, Hesse County City is dotted with a large number of industrial factories.

The conspicuous chimneys are also one of the symbols of Hesse County City.

These chimneys are constantly emitting industrial waste gas, and the black haze covering the sky above Hesse County City comes from this.

The smog not only causes air pollution, but also seriously interferes with the aviation industry in Hesse County.

After entering the haze, the aircraft is prone to lose its direction, and it is also prone to radio interference and engine operation.

It can be said that with the current concentration of haze over Hesse County City, all flights have become death flights, because there is a high possibility that they will never return.

In this situation, only military pilots dared to fly planes into it, such as this corn transport plane.

Some people may ask, why can't we change the mode of transportation?

The answer is actually very simple: it’s too time-consuming.

Traveling by land, the Hesse County City is surrounded by a large black forest, and there is only one railway that is still open, which is used exclusively for freight rather than passenger transport.

If we go by water, well, the water pollution near Hesse County is also very serious, and the problem of river blockage has not been solved yet.

"Can we successfully reach the Hessen County Airport this time?"

Boris frowned and asked the pilot.

"I'm afraid not, Colonel. The smog concentration is even higher than last time. If we enter the smog, there is an 80% chance of a crash."

The pilot's reply made Boris frown even more.

"I'm sorry, I can only take you here. You have to walk the rest of the way on your own."

Boris took a deep breath and told Penny and Nora the bad news.

"It's okay, Colonel. You did your best."

"We can walk the rest of the way by ourselves. After all, we are heroes!"

Penny didn't care, but Nora seemed very motivated.

"Wish ya'll good luck."

Boris found two parachute packs, handed them to Penny and Nora, and then forcefully opened the door of the transport plane.

We are very close to Hesse County City, and airdropping can save a lot of time.

The corn transport plane passed through the black haze above the Hesse County City, and at the edge of the haze, two parachutes slowly fell down.

······

“What a terrible smell.”

Nora entered a state of spontaneous combustion and used elementalization to dispel the smell of smoke that she had been exposed to when she was airborne.

Penny also hid in the shadows. The smell was really unpleasant after smelling it for too long.

"This is the city of Hessen County."

The city shrouded in black smog looked gloomy. The two plant spirit heroes did not stay outside the city for long, but walked straight to the entrance of Heisen County City.

Federal Security Service agents and Hesse County garrison set up a checkpoint at the entrance to the city, from where they can enter the city of Hesse County.

"Ms. Green Shadow, Ms. Flare Flower, you are welcome to Hessen County City."

The security agent who was in charge of receiving the two women gave a welcome speech, but his lifeless face made it seem insincere.

The area surrounding the Hesse County city is severely polluted, and due to severe famine and unemployment problems, a large number of refugees have poured into the city from the suburbs.

But is the city necessarily better than the suburbs?

Along the way, all Penny and Nora felt was deep depression.

This is just what you see when you enter the urban area. What kind of scene will you see after entering the city?
