In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

"What's your name?"

"Rai...Raibel..."

Nora carefully wiped the stains off the girl's face and took the opportunity to look at the child she had saved.

Long golden hair, a beautiful face, and a pair of flawless green eyes...

Nora couldn't help but stand there in a daze, and even stopped wiping the girl's hair with her hands.

It turns out that this child, like himself, is a sunshine plant spirit.

Blonde hair and blue eyes, there is only one kind of sun plant spirit with such characteristics.

"Rebel, do you know what your race is?"

Nora came back to her senses and couldn't wait to ask Rebelle, with a hint of anticipation in her tone.

"Race...my mother seemed to have told me about it."

Rebelle blinked and racked her brains to recall.

After a moment, she gave the answer that Nora expected: "It seems to be the 'Golden Bud Plant Spirit'."

The golden bud plant spirit is an extremely rare existence even among the sun plant spirits.

Unlike the Sunshine Mushroom Spirits, whose population rapidly declined due to disasters, the Golden Bud Spirits can be classified as an endangered species.

There are many reasons why it is endangered. Putting aside other reasons, the most important point is the unique ability of the golden bud plant spirit.

It was said before that the Sunshine Plant Spirit can condense sunlight energy, but the condensed sunlight energy must be placed in a sunlight box for preservation as soon as possible, otherwise it will dissipate directly.

However, the ability of the Golden Bud Plant Spirit enables them to preserve the sunlight energy they condense for a long time and make it available for use anytime and anywhere.

Not to mention that the speed at which the Golden Bud Plant Spirit condenses sunlight energy is several times faster than that of other sunlight plant spirits.

Using the term "mobile sunlight energy battery" to describe the Golden Bud Plant Spirit is similar to the energy flower plant spirit which is called the "mobile plant spirit power battery".

To sum it up in one sentence, the status of the Golden Bud Plant Spirit among the Sunshine Plant Spirits in the Life Camp is only second to that of the Dawn Family.

Even Nora herself did not expect that her momentary kindness could actually save a golden bud plant spirit cub.

"Rebel, where are your parents?"

Rebelle has the pure bloodline of the Golden Bud Plant Spirit, which means that both her parents are Golden Bud Plant Spirits.

But seeing that the child was all alone and even on the verge of starving to death, Nora already had a bad feeling in her heart.

“A week ago, my father fell to the ground while fighting with others for food, and by the time the crowd dispersed, he was already dead.

Three days ago, my mother said she was going out to find me something to eat and told me to stay in this alley and not to move around. She never came back."

Rebelle's tone was very calm, but beneath the calmness, there was a sadness that was difficult to conceal.

Her father has passed away, killed in a stampede caused by overcrowding.

Her weak mother, who was barely able to even lift a finger, also found it difficult to successfully bring food back for her daughter in this chaotic city, and there was a high probability that she had met with an accident.

Nora took a deep breath, gently held Rebelle in her arms, and gently comforted the poor child.

She silently activated the fire-attributed spiritual power in her body, giving Rebelle waves of warmth and dispelling the chill brought by the October autumn wind.

This is the only thing Nora can do for Rebelle at the moment.

Several footsteps were heard near the alley, getting closer and closer.

Nora first showed a look of vigilance, and her body involuntarily became alert.

But after seeing the face of the person who came, she felt relieved.

Penny and Yang walked over quickly, followed by several members of the World Communist Party.

"Nora, is this the child?"

"Well, her name is Rebel, a very poor child."

Nora nodded to Penny and told her friend Rebelle's name.

Yang, who was standing by, pushed his glasses up with interest, his gaze lingering on Rebelle's eyes for a moment.

Nora did not ask about the identities of Yang and the others. Since they were brought by Penny, they must be trustworthy.

"Mr. Yang, can the World Communist Party help settle this child?"

"Of course, Ms. Green Shadow, please rest assured that we will take good care of the child."

Yang smiled gently and made a solemn promise.

"Go ahead, Rebel."

Nora patted the girl in her arms and carried her to Yang's side.

Rebelle nodded timidly and stood beside Yang gratefully.

······

After watching Yang lead the World Communist Party members and Rebelle away, Penny and Nora reunited and were able to exchange the information they had collected.

"It can be concluded that the biggest cause of the famine in Hesse County is the pollution of the land."

Recalling the information she learned from Rebelle, Nora made the first judgment.

"Pollution? The environmental pollution in Hessen County is indeed serious, but after so many years, it has never caused such a serious problem as today."

Penny seemed to be thinking about something. She always felt that the current famine problem in Hesse County was not just as simple as ordinary pollution.

"Nora, have you gone to the government officials in Hessen County to inquire about the situation?"

"Ah, not yet. I helped Rebelle and put this matter behind me."

Hearing Penny's question, Nora scratched her head in embarrassment.

"It's okay. Let's go and ask them together. I also want to know what those officials who are just sitting there doing nothing are doing."

Penny's green eyes narrowed slightly under the eye mask, hiding her dissatisfaction well.

After a while, Penny and Nora finally entered the central city of Hesse County.

"The central city area is really prosperous, and the air is cleaner than outside."

Nora looked around with an incredulous expression.

"Yes, it is completely different from other districts in Hesse County."

Penny's sight was like a sharp sword, able to penetrate the resin glass barrier that protected the central city.

Nora turned her head and looked at the civil servant next to her: "Where is your person in charge?"

"Please wait a moment, my Lords. Our Minister of Agriculture will be here soon."

As soon as the civil servant finished speaking, a fat man in a suit and tie walked towards the two women with a smile.

“Ms. Green Shadow, Ms. Flare Flower, my name is Deben, and I am the current Minister of Agriculture of Hesse County.

Hesse County City welcomes you both very much. We have prepared a banquet for you both at the Fire Dragon Grass Hotel in the central city. Please follow me..."

Seeing Deben's fat belly shaking, Nora felt uncomfortable and turned her head away involuntarily.

A hint of coldness flashed in Penny's eyes: "Minister Deben, let's talk about the banquet later. Can you take us to the agricultural area of ​​Hesse County City now?"

A few drops of cold sweat flowed down Deben's fat face: "Not good, you two, the banquet is already..."

"Right now, right now, immediately. I don't want to repeat it a second time."

The dark purple plant spiritual power turned into a stream of light, flickering on Penny's body, and instantly turned into an aggressive shadow, baring its fangs and claws towards Deben.

The spiritual pressure from the plant spirit hero was released, causing Deben to sweat profusely.

"Please forgive me, Ms. Green Shadow. I will take you there right away."

Deben understood that the two women in front of him were not the investigators sent by the federal government who could be easily fooled by using world points.

He was just a small Minister of Agriculture. In front of the famous plant spirit hero, he was just a small figure who could be easily manipulated.

Under Deben's attentive guidance, Penny and Nora passed through numerous obstacles and arrived in front of a vast farmland.

The most common thing seen along the way was the blockade set up by the Hesse County City Government.

Penny and Nora were still shocked when they saw the scene before them.

The reason is simple: the pollution in this farmland is too serious.

The land before my eyes gave off a terrible stench, and most of the crops had withered and died, leaving a barren landscape as far as the eye could see.

"This...is not just ordinary pollution..."

Staring at the clusters of green mold growing in the farmland, the two women already had bad guesses in their minds.

They had only seen this familiar tactic on the battlefield of the Second Garden War.

"Sure enough, this is definitely their doing."

"The Empire's Plague Special Forces..."
