In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

(二九五四 六二三 一三)

"Oh oh oh, don't get excited! Little brother, can you please put down the weapons in your hands."

The visitor who appeared in front of Mo Chen was a slightly stout middle-aged man. His attire was very strange, but it also made Mo Chen feel extremely familiar.

The man wore a somewhat dented iron pot, and his fat face was covered with messy brown hair and a thick beard that was not well taken care of.

His eyes are one big and one small, and while they look a little crazy, they also reveal a bit of wisdom.

He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, a large leather belt, a pair of blue trousers, and a pair of large leather shoes.

Although it looks a bit sloppy, it gives people an amiable feeling.

"May I ask who is calling?"

Seeing the visitor's appearance, although he was still very wary, Mo Chen put down the slingshot in his hand and asked cautiously.

"Me? Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. It's probably too late to make up for it now."

As if remembering something, the middle-aged man patted his forehead, and his thick palm collided with the iron pot, making a metallic sound.

"I am Kriztofer David Blazein III. Of course, if you think this name is too long, you can also call me--Dave Smith."

The middle-aged man who called himself Dave smiled heartily.

The other person's self-introduction and his image were combined with a certain figure in Mo Chen's memory.

"Dave...Dave...Dave!!! You are Crazy Dave!"

His thoughts were like a floodgate being opened instantly, and Mo Chen completely understood why the middle-aged man in front of him felt so familiar to him.

Crazy Dave is an NPC character from the childhood game "Plants vs. Zombies". As the player's neighbor, he is an excellent gardener and botanist.

As the game's guide, Dave provides a lot of help to players and also opens a store where players can obtain more props.

Although Mo Chen had always been unhappy with this profiteer when playing games, he often cursed the other person for a flat tire when he had no money to buy props.

But now, Dave in front of him has transformed into a real human being and Mo Chen's savior.

"Yoho! I like it when you call me that, little brother."

Dave burst out laughing and patted Mo Chen's shoulder hard, so hard that Mo Chen gritted his teeth.

"I'm a madman, hahahahaha."

He seemed to be seriously ill.

"Come in, Mr. Dave."

When he was sure that the visitor was a good person, Mo Chen put down the slingshot in his hand, stuffed it back into his waist, and turned sideways to let Dave in.

Dave didn't refuse and walked into the house carelessly. After all, that was why he came to visit.

Not caring about his own image, he sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs without taking off his shoes, and whistled happily.

Mo Chen didn't care, walked into the kitchen, found a glass from the cupboard, filled the kettle with water, and put it on the induction cooker to boil.

After a while, he returned to the living room with two glasses of hot water.

"Sorry for the poor hospitality, Mr. Dave."

Putting the hot water in front of Dave, Mo Chen also sat down.

"Ha, thank you for your hospitality."

At this moment, Dave also returned to his seriousness, sitting upright and looking at Mo Chen.

"Now that Lord Mo Chen has signed his name on the contract, from today on, you are the first owner of No. 5905 War Garden.

The war garden you are in is the war garden of the Plant Spirit Federation, numbered 5905. "

"The Federation of Plant Spirits?"

Mo Chen carefully captured a brand new term in Dave's words. This setting did not come from the game.

"That's right, Plant Federation, referred to as the Federation.

One of the two major camps in this world, a joint government composed of 96% of plant spirits and 4% of humans, occupies one-half of the world's territory.

In contrast, there is the Zombie Empire, the full name is Zombie Empire, and the abbreviation is Empire.

It was a sovereign empire composed of 98% zombies, or undead, and 2% plant zombies. It also occupied one-half of the world's territory. "

Dave explained the worldview to Mo Chen, a visitor from another world, in detail.

Plant spirit? Zombie spirit?

Could it be the plants and zombies in the game? I don’t know what they look like...

Mo Chen listened to Dave's words quietly and showed doubts appropriately.

“Plant spirits and zombie spirits are brand new races born after the ‘cataclysm’. Today, they have replaced the humans of the old world and become the new world masters.

They represent life and death respectively, and worship the sun and moon respectively.

After the catastrophe, an unknown virus infected countless humans and transformed them into the original undead.

The giant tree that reaches the sky and preserves the wisdom of the world rises from the ground, and the world is thus given life to plants again, making them spiritually transformed into humans.

As for the surviving humans who have not transformed into the undead, they have become the rarest existence in the world today.

The city was destroyed by disaster and turned into ruins, history was tampered with nothingness and became false, and everything changed. "

Seemingly seeing Mo Chen's doubts, Dave answered his doubts.

“The year when the great catastrophe occurred was also known as the ‘First Year of Zhizhi’, and the history before that was divided into the old era.

After that, the "Zhizong Calendar" became the unified chronological system used in the modern world. "

"So, today is September 2013, 9, Zombie Calendar?"

Looking at the electronic clock on the wall, Mo Chen blurted out involuntarily.

"Isn't it obvious?"

Dave glanced at Mo Chen with a slightly contemptuous look.

Mo Chen was stunned and felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

Dave didn't pay attention and continued talking on his own.

"Next, let me introduce the War Garden, which is my most proud invention."

Speaking of this, Dave's tone suddenly became a little excited.

"The War Garden can be both a prosperous realm and a front line against the undead.

The Federation spent huge sums of money to continuously order war gardens from me to fight against the undead invasion from the Empire.

They sent humans and spiritual implants to settle in the War Garden and set up a line of defense on the border between the two camps.

At my request, federal law requires that war gardens be occupied by human owners.

The responsibilities of a human homeowner include managing the garden, directing battles, and providing nutrients to the wisdom tree on time.

The wisdom tree in the War Garden will answer questions for the homeowners, be responsible for liaising with the Federation, and report on the development of the garden, which is equivalent to a bridge of communication between human homeowners and the Federation.

Plant spirit warriors are the most basic force against the undead. They come from all over the world with different abilities, but they are gathered here because of the recruitment of the Federation.

In addition, I have also provided tools for human homeowners in major war gardens, and they will be their best helpers.

Each war garden has a similar layout and consists of a total of six modules.

The residence, where the human owners live, is located in the center of the War Garden and is the most important core center.

When the residence is breached, the War Garden will be completely paralyzed, declaring its fall.

The front yard is a battlefield composed of lawns, located to the east of the War Garden. It is also the line of defense that most undead invaders will choose to attack.

The backyard is a battlefield composed of lawns and pools. It is located to the west of the War Garden. Both the degree of defense and the degree of offense are far greater than the front yard.

The roof, a battlefield made of bricks and tiles, is located on top of the house and faces the south of the War Gardens.

House owners can take the elevator directly to the roof, and plant warriors need to lay flower pots to move on the roof.

The community is a community built for the spiritual warriors and civilians who were recruited to the War Garden. It is located in the north of the War Garden.

The development area is a vast open space located to the south of the War Garden, where homeowners can add various useful facilities as they wish. "

After introducing a long paragraph eloquently, Dave stopped to take a breath and drank the lukewarm water in the glass.
