In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

Ji Bing walked quietly on the street where auto repair shops were gathered, always paying attention to the surrounding situation.

As an outstanding special forces soldier from the Blue Ice Special Forces, collecting intelligence is a piece of cake for him.

The Snow Buried Frost Feathers around her waist became increasingly colder, making it seem as if the other people around Ji Bing were ignoring her existence.

They would only feel that the temperature seemed to have dropped a lot, and they would involuntarily quicken their pace.

As one of the twelve swords that only exist in legends, it is naturally easy for it to conceal its whereabouts.

"Unknown radio signal... where can I find clues?"

Ji Bing muttered to himself, wandering aimlessly in the area where the auto repair shops were gathered.

After a while, Ji Bing, who still had nothing to show for it, stopped where he was.

"Let's go to a higher place and have a look."

This idea suddenly appeared in Ji Bing's mind, and she implemented it immediately.

Ji Bing took a deep breath, lightly tapped his toes, and using the wall as a relay, he climbed directly onto the roof of the prefabricated house next to the street.

“Sure enough, the view here is much broader.”

Ji Bing looked around, chose a direction at random, and moved forward on the roof or top of the tent.

Just as she stopped to take a rest, she heard a deliberately low voice coming from somewhere on the ground:

"I remember there seemed to be a path here that led to the big scrap yard."

Although the voice was very low, the perceptive Ji Bing still noticed it.

She deduced from the speaker's voice that it was a girl.

The girl was answered by a mechanical synthesized voice: "This is a major safety hazard, Lady Chlora."

"Yes, I know, Little Titan One, but time is of the essence. We can repair this place after we return from the big scrapyard."

"But, Lady Klora, is it really okay not to call on Lord Titan?"

"Well... I know, but I don't want to trouble Mr. Titan for everything. Let's go by ourselves this time."

"Yes, Lady Korra."

The sound soon disappeared, and Ji Bing immediately jumped down from the roof of the prefabricated house where he had been staying.

What appeared in front of her was the outermost wall of the auto repair shop cluster.

However, there was a break somewhere in the wall, revealing a gap that was just big enough for an underage plant spirit to pass through.

Ji Bing bent down and looked out of the gap, only to see the backs of a child in red and a metal ball gradually going away.

The hood of the clothes just covered the child's face, making him look like a timid red rabbit.

Wait, red rabbit? Scarlet rabbit?

As if he had thought of something, Ji Bing was slightly stunned, and immediately used the force to climb up the outer wall, looking in the direction where the child and the metal ball disappeared.

"The way the child was dressed, plus the fact that she just mentioned Titans... I guess she must be the scarlet rabbit lady that the gold digger Lao Jin mentioned."

Suddenly, a message came from the communication channel. It was Mo Chen who sent the detailed information about the four managers of the auto repair shop gathering place.

"Sure enough, that child is the Scarlet Rabbit Lady Chlora, but why did she leave the gathering place of auto repair shops and go to the large scrapyard in the industrial park?"

With doubts and confusion, Ji Bing sent a message to Mo Chen to inform him of the situation.

Then she jumped off the outer wall of the auto repair shop and followed the path where Clara disappeared.

······

“It’s really lively here.”

Wendy walked through several streets where auto repair shops were concentrated, collecting useful information according to Mo Chen's instructions.

A small cloth bag appeared in her hand at some point, filled with extremely sophisticated mechanical parts and fragments of rare metals.

As the former plant spirit hero Lucky Wind who loves to gather intelligence, it's normal for him to carry these little things with him.

"Scrap Iron Street, what a simple and unpretentious name."

Wendy stopped at the entrance of a street, and she heard a tinkling sound coming from the street.

It seemed to be the sound of tools hitting metal, from various sources.

These sounds combined together seem extremely noisy.

"No wonder there aren't any vagrants' homes around this scrap metal street."

Wendy thought for a moment and realized that the scrap metal street in front of her was home to most of the mechanics in the auto repair shop cluster.

From time to time, you can see gold diggers and mechanics coming in and out. The former are empty-handed or carrying materials, while the latter are more or less followed by some mechanical creations.

Mechanics in Modern World are similar to hunters who can keep pets, except that their pets are inorganic.

"Let's go in and take a look. Maybe we can get the information we want."

Wendy tossed the small cloth bag in her hand and entered the Scrap Street.

There were indeed many mechanics and their mechanical creations gathered in Scrap Metal Street.

But after visiting many shops along the way, Wendy found that the abilities of these mechanics could only be described as amateur level.

If judged from a professional perspective, most of the mechanics in Scrap Street are at the Iron or Bronze level, and only one or two Silver ones can be seen occasionally.

The reason they became mechanics, apart from the need to survive, was probably simply out of interest in mechanics.

Without systematic and professional guidance, it is not easy to improve your proficiency in mechanics by self-study.

After all, not everyone has the same superb talent for mechanics as the Scarlet Rabbit Lady.

"Excuse me, sir, which mechanics in the gathering place are currently studying the knowledge related to communication equipment?"

Wendy came to a shop and asked the mechanic inside.

"Sorry, I'm busy. You should ask someone else."

The mechanic was wearing a welding mask and holding a welding gun as he worked non-stop.

"Oh~Is that so? Then I can only give these jingling gadgets to the kind mechanics who are willing to provide me with information."

Wendy raised the small cloth bag in her hand with evil intentions and shook it gently a few times. The mechanical parts collided with the rare metals, which immediately attracted the attention of the mechanic.

There is no mechanic who doesn't like machine parts and rare metals, especially those in a garage.

"Ahem, I'm not busy now, ma'am, do you have anything to ask?"

The mechanic coughed a few times, took off his welding mask, and put down the welding gun in his hand.

"I still have the same question. Which mechanics in the gathering place are currently studying the knowledge related to communication equipment?"

"Communication equipment? Let me think..."

The mechanic thought for a moment and then gave his answer:

"I haven't heard of any mechanics in the gathering place researching communication equipment recently. After all, these things require a very high level of skill, at least the level of a gold mechanic.

There is no mechanic in the auto repair shop cluster who has reached the golden level, oh, wait..."

"Do you know something?"

"If you were to look for the best mechanic in a garage cluster, there would only be one..."

Wendy and the mechanic said in unison, "Ms. Scarlet Rabbit!"

"Thank you, sir. These jingling little things are for you."

Wendy threw the small cloth bag in her hand to the mechanic in front of her, then floated out of the shop, intending to meet up with Mo Chen.
