In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

Chapter 621 Spacetime Fluctuations

Just as Mo Chen was pondering the matter of Adele and the Heart-to-Heart Ring, a sudden change occurred.

The piercing alarm suddenly shattered the tranquility of the early morning, echoing throughout the entire war courtyard.

Mo Chen's expression changed drastically. Without thinking twice, he rushed downstairs and stormed out.

He channeled his plant energy, stomped his foot, and unleashed Ender Movement, speeding towards the community tree.

The alarm's tone was completely different from previous ones, meaning the intrusion did not occur in the front or back yards.

Therefore, there is only one answer—this courtyard battle will take place on the rooftop battlefield.

"Dabao, what's going on? Is this invasion happening on the rooftop battlefield?"

Mo Chen rushed into the control room through the community tree and asked Xiao Da, who was in front of the control panel, with a slightly anxious expression.

"Very likely."

Xiao Da nodded, her fingers tapping on the virtual keyboard of the control panel: "The radar shows that a large-scale spacetime fluctuation occurred in the hinterland just five minutes ago. This means that soon, all the Tier 1 advanced courtyards and above in the hinterland that have activated the rooftop battlefield will face an invasion of a large number of low-level zombies."

"Spacetime fluctuations? What does that have to do with enemy invasion?"

Mo Chen frowned in confusion, unable to make sense of the relationship between the two.

"This phenomenon, scientifically known as 'spatiotemporal fluctuation,' originates from the spatiotemporal instability of various areas within the abandoned city itself."

Xiao Da explained quickly, "When the spacetime of two different regions merges, there is a chance that a wormhole will be formed, attracting nearby low-level zombies to enter."

She paused, her tone becoming increasingly serious: "Our courtyard uses too much spatial technology, resulting in extremely weak spacetime barriers within it. In particular, independent and relatively open spaces like the rooftop battlefield are more susceptible to spacetime fluctuations, which can lead to wormholes."

Pointing to the screen in front of her, Xiao Da continued, "Once the wormhole appears on the rooftop battlefield, the low-level zombies that are attracted will continuously emerge from it until the spacetime barrier completes its self-repair, the wormhole closes naturally, and this sudden invasion will end."

The air in the control room froze instantly, and alarm bells rang in Mo Chen's mind.

It was assumed that, according to Xiaoda's previous statement, the enemy could only launch an attack from the rooftop battlefield under the leadership of the Imperial forces.

However, the wormholes created by spacetime fluctuations undoubtedly tore through the rules, turning what was originally a controllable tactical offense and defense into an unexpected encounter.

This means that although the attacking low-level zombies have no commander, their number and type are unknown.

"I'll go now."

Without lingering any longer, Mo Chen turned and left the community tree, heading towards the location of the elevator.

Along the way, he also encountered several other plant warriors who had heard the alarm, and quickly helped them onto the elevator.

A moment later, Mo Chen led a group of plant spirit warriors out of the elevator and onto the preparation platform of the rooftop battlefield.

At this moment, several plant warriors have already arrived on the platform.

Upon seeing Mo Chen arrive, they immediately raised their hands in salute or nodded in greeting.

Mo Chen walked to the edge of the platform and looked at the rooftop battlefield ahead.

The five rows of brick and tile flooring near the platform have been secured by Tao Yuan using safety frames, and twenty-five flower pots are neatly arranged on them.

"Tao Yuan, how much longer can the safety rack and flower pots last?"

Out of caution, Mo Chen looked at Tao Yuan beside him and asked in a low voice.

"Until 2 p.m., Your Excellency the homeowner."

Tao Yuan adjusted his glasses and calmly gave his answer.

It's only 7 a.m., and there are still 7 hours until the next maintenance, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

"very good."

Mo Chen nodded in satisfaction and looked at the rooftop battlefield in front of him again.

Under normal circumstances, wormholes created by spacetime fluctuations will not be too close to the platform.

Even in the most recent situation, it will only occur at the edge of the roof ridge, so there is no need to worry about not having time to deploy troops.

Unless your own rooftop battlefield is completely undefended, those low-level zombies won't be able to get even a step closer to the platform.

While having conceived in his mind what formation to use against the enemy, Mo Chen also issued his first command through the communication channel.

"Eve enters the field at coordinates [3, 1] and places a summoned item on the flower pot in the same column."

Upon receiving the order, Eve immediately took action, carrying her energy pod as she left the platform and stepped onto the brick and tiled ground of the rooftop battlefield.

She sat cross-legged beside the flowerpot, channeling her plant spirit power to condense a card, which transformed into specks of golden light and disappeared into the flowerpot.

The sunflower stretched out its leaves, giving the sun in the sky a bright smile.

Then, it began to sway rhythmically, and after several tens of seconds, golden sunlight energy was produced, which Eve then stored in the energy box.

As the second sunflower sprouted in the pot, a twisting wormhole suddenly appeared somewhere on the roof ridge.

"Brain..."

An ordinary zombie staggered out of the wormhole, its murky eyes scanning the unfamiliar rooftop battlefield with unfocused intent.

But when it saw the smiling sunflower in front of it, it instantly became excited and let out a dry roar from its throat.

"Eve, finish it off. It'll be good for you to practice your marksmanship too."

Mo Chen did not send out any other plant spirit warriors, but instead shouted loudly at Eve, who was not far away.

“Received, homeowner.”

Eve nodded slightly, but instead of raising her hand to gather a pulse of sunlight, she stood up and pulled a pistol from her waist.

Eve squinted, pointed the gun at the slowly approaching ordinary zombie, and then pulled the trigger forcefully.

With a bang, the bullet sliced ​​through the air and precisely pierced the low-level zombie's eyeball, exploding into a cloud of black and white filth at the back of its head.

Like a puppet with its strings cut, the ordinary zombie fell straight backward, crashing onto the brick floor with a dull thud.

"Hmm... it feels good to use a gun once in a while."

Feeling refreshed, Eve put away her pistol, sat back down by the flowerpot, and casually tossed out her third card.

Soon, several more wormholes appeared on the roof ridge, and a few low-level zombies emerged, continuing to approach the defensive line.

Mo Chen tapped his personal terminal, and information about a plant spirit warrior appeared on the screen.

----------

Kretz, a Tier 3 Cabbage Pitcher Plant Spirit, is ready to be summoned. Summoning requires 75 points of Sunlight Energy.

----------

"Kretz enters the field at coordinates [3, 3] and places a summoned creature on the flower pot in the same column."

Without hesitation, Kretz picked up the grenade launcher and strode into the rooftop battlefield.

Upon arriving at the coordinates, he skillfully adjusted the angle of the grenade launcher and loaded a grenade, which was already shaped in his hand, into the chamber.

A green streak shot out and struck an ordinary zombie on the head, blasting its bald head to pieces.

"Full marks!"

Mo Chen excitedly pumped his fist and gave Kretz a thumbs-up.

Encouraged, Kretz remained calm. He turned the launcher around and unleashed another grenade without hesitation, blowing the enemy's upper body to smithereens.
