This is what Xu Nan saw when she arrived.

The trainees used the underground lake to build a temporary defensive line, while the western front, which was originally under the most pressure, suddenly became much easier due to the appearance of more than a dozen Pea Shooter!

Bie He Xi and the members of the West City Training Camp were stunned; even Xu Nan had never seen this thing before.

Is this Plants vs. Zombies?

Xu Nan got off the magic carpet and went over to see Jiang Yuanchi still diligently scattering peas.

"Senior, what's with all these Pea Shooter?"

As Xu Nan asked the question, the sound of green energy cannons piercing the air could be heard, which was quite pleasant, just missing the familiar background music!

"Oh, when I was playing in Stephenson, I accidentally met an old farmer who was farming. I talked to him about a lot of things. The old man was very interested in plants on Earth, so I had an in-depth discussion with him about Plants vs. Zombies and Protect the Carrot."

Jiang Yuanchi tilted her head. "Later, he came to see me and gave me these peas, asking if this was the kind of plant. I tried it and found it worked well, so I asked him for a few more..."

Xu Nan pondered for a moment and asked, "Does that old farmer have a name?"

Jiang Yuanchi shook her head. "He forgot his own name, he just likes green plants. I can't even remember what he looked like very clearly, the only thing I remember is that he had green grass growing on his head..."

Xu Nan frowned.

Could the rumors be true?

The old farmer must have entered the realm of gods to be able to turn the game that Jiang Yuanchi casually mentioned into reality; however, among the Pro Gods, not one of them is enthusiastic about plants.

Unless, it's that God of Forestry who supposedly had a graveyard party...

In the gossip gathered by the Ron Sorcerer, there was actually another version of the God of Forestry's fate. That version claimed the God of Love and Maidens wasn't truly a slut; to save her third husband, whose divine status had been shattered, she offered her virginity to other powerful gods in exchange for their intervention... After that graveyard party, the God of Forestry awoke, but having lost his divine status, he could only eke out a living as a saint.

Unable to bear the sacrifices his wife made to save him, he left. The World God Kingdom lost an honest, cowardly, and kind-hearted deity, Pro World gained an old farmer who claimed to love plants.

In many legends, people claim to have seen the God of Forestry, an honest and simple deity who is still alive and active in the Pro World in various forms.

It's just a story, after all.

The peas in Jiang Yuanchi's hands truly possessed the power to turn something rotten into something magical.

The green energy cannons fired by these valiant Pea Shooter are highly lethal to the Fallen Zombies, instantly blocking their path as they surge out from the side paths.

The trainees' morale soared, and with the lake at their backs, the eastern front, even without the Pea Shooter, stabilized.

It's important to know that Fallen Zombies are different from regular zombies.

These zombies were pitiful people who suffered greatly from the [Divine Art - Submersion] in their previous lives. After death, they turned into zombies, and their malevolence became even stronger. Whether it is physical or magical damage, it is easy for them to be immune to it because of their strong resistance!

In comparison, Jiang Yuanchi's Pea Energy Cannon is simply the nemesis of the Fallen Zombie!

As the situation stabilized, the Salted Fish Three Brothers joined the battle. With equipment that was clearly superior to the others, they demonstrated remarkable strength, and soon the number of the Fallen Zombie horde began to decrease!

Apart from a few trainees getting injured at the beginning, there were no further incidents. There are also doctors and priests in the West City Training Camp, so as long as the situation stabilizes and the medical team keeps up, everything will be fine.

If it weren't for the sheer number of fallen zombies, they would probably be able to turn the tables and launch an attack by now!

Biubiubiu!

Under the relentless bombardment of the Pea Shooter, the battle between the members of the Thousand Rays Society and the Fallen Zombies has turned into a tower defense game.

"My sister-in-law is truly amazing!"

"He seems to be a little bit more powerful than his older brother!"

"Why hasn't Brother Hua made a move yet? His Blazing Fire Blade Technique should be a great counter to these Fallen Zombies, right?"

The Salted Fish Three Brothers have all found time to gossip.

Inspired by their optimism, the other trainees also relaxed. Well, they're just a bunch of fallen zombies, we can just wipe them out!

Xu Nan and Elder Sister Yu met up.

"There are too many zombies. Although Jiang's Pea Shooter is very effective against them, this is not a solution."

Yu Simiao was somewhat exhausted; she hadn't had a proper rest since preparing to break through the encirclement.

Her skills were of little use against large numbers of Undead Creatures; while the druid uncle was injured and had not yet recovered. Although he was still in the lead as a giant bear, he was already showing signs of fatigue.

A prolonged stalemate is not beneficial to Thousand Rays Society.

"I don't believe in the existence of relatively advanced Undead Creatures like the Fallen Zombie unless someone summons them."

Xu Nan glanced at He Xi, whose expression remained unchanged. "What are your thoughts?"

He Xi pushed up his glasses, looking mysterious:

"I believe the Fallen Zombies didn't appear out of thin air. It's clear this is all a Cultists trap. There must be a lot of Cultists hiding around here. We can't guess their ultimate goal, but the only thing we're sure of is that they want to kill us."

"What puzzles me is how they were able to pinpoint our route? Even when we were in the Safe Zone, and they had already gotten close enough, they couldn't have been sure we would suddenly retreat through the tunnel, could they?"

Xu Nan watched him act with great interest:

"Comrade He Xi, just say what you think. We are very democratic."

He Xi said earnestly:

"I believe... there's a mole!"

Everyone was startled by these words. In that split second, He Xi suddenly smiled strangely and threw down a grenade-shaped object that was flashing with an eerie light!

He shouted loudly as he threw the food:

"My Lord, with divine might, grant me eternal life!"

A smug smile spread across his face: once this magic grenade from the goblins explodes, the formation that the Thousand Rays Society has been painstakingly maintaining will surely crumble on its own, and with several leaders gone, the remaining people will be leaderless and doomed!

But the next second, the sizzling sound of the grenade stopped abruptly.

Everyone stared in disbelief as Xu Nan rushed forward and stepped on the fuse on the side of the grenade, instantly extinguishing the lit fuse!

It's been stomped out!

"So... it's better if the fuse of a grenade isn't too long."

Xu Nan looked at He Xi expressionlessly. "We were prepared for this all along. Confess yourself, then?"

The others were completely bewildered; the pace was too fast for them to keep up with.

"Do you believe me or not, I accidentally threw this grenade?" He Xi chuckled dryly, mumbling something indistinctly.

Xu Nan frowned, a sudden sense of crisis washing over him!

It was that grenade!

"Who needs a fuse to detonate a grenade...? Goblin spells will work too!"

Although Yu Simiao slapped He Xi across the mouth as soon as she realized He Xi was happening, the spell seemed to have been completed. In that instant, Xu Nan could feel a terrifying destructive force coming from beneath his feet!

"Oh no, showing off really isn't for me!"

Xu Nan was filled with regret, pounding his chest and stamping his feet, trying his best to cast a few defensive spells on himself to withstand the damage.

Just then, he suddenly felt his feet sink into the ground.

The magic grenade, which was about to explode, was swallowed whole by Fairy Dragon loach that appeared out of nowhere!

Bang!

A low sound came from inside the loach's belly, and two wisps of smoke came out of her nostrils.

All around was quiet.

She let out a burp, and her childish voice rang out:

"... A royal flush!"

This is the first time Xu Nan has heard her speak other than "".

It wasn't for nothing that I played cards with her for so long!

These days, the friendship between card players is still reliable!

He Xi screamed, "Give me back my grenade!"

Unfortunately, he was immediately smashed in the head by Xu Nan's copy of "The Basic Principles of Marxism".

Under the watchful eyes of the Training Camp participants and the fallen zombies, the enraged Xu Nan, with "Das Kapital" in his left hand, "Political Economics" in his right, and "The Theory and Practice of the Sinicization of Marxism" dangling from his mouth, repeatedly slammed the book onto He Xi's forehead:

"Why did you have to join a cult!"

"And it's a cult from another world!"

"What did you learn from nine years of compulsory education? You still want to self-destruct like this?!"

"If I don't wake you up, I'm not a socialist successor born under the red flag!"

Xu Nan, now a powerhouse with a strength rating of 14, unleashed a flurry of punches that slammed He Xi into a pulp, revealing the Tiamat emblem on his wrist.

For a time, the students were filled with anxiety.

Only the three optimistic brothers had their attention elsewhere:

"Boss, why do you carry all these books with you?"

Xu Nan turned around, looking at him with disappointment and frustration:

"Isn't it normal for me, a successor to socialism, to carry these books with me?"

After giving guidance to his brothers who were clearly lacking in ideological awareness, Xu Nan continued to criticize He Xi.

It turns out that you can get far more Activity Points by hitting someone than by arguing with someone!

Xu Nan played for a full five or six minutes, his arms aching, but he had no choice; you know how thick Das Kapital is.

He Xi's weak voice came through:

"Stop hitting me... stop hitting me..."

"I can tell you where our boss is..."

Xu Nan sneered:

"No."

"Your boss is here."

Not far away, a figure rode Kangaroo horse and charged in, carrying a severed head with its eyes wide open, which it threw in front of He Xi.

"This is the head of the Divine Art Master A Kai. Brother Xu Nan, you were right, this guy really gives a lot of Slaughter Points!"
