Chapter Summaries

Wang Yu prepared his Big Tree’s defenses for five Level 3 Fog Winds, then used thrown Wall-nuts, Cherry Bombs, and his Mutated Plants to eliminate the Tractor Zombies and weaken the advancing horde.

Wang Yu defeated the first wave of five Fog Winds, though the battle damaged his Tall Wall-nuts and consumed resources. As he prepared for the next wave, nearly a hundred thousand players gathered to watch and realized he had challenged five Fog Winds at once.

• Wang Yu's Potato Mines and Pea Shooters killed the Football Zombies, and his plants wiped out the remaining Zombies after they attacked his defenses.

Wang Yu found that devouring every tombstone the previous night had left him without zombies to fight, so he recruited players whose domains still had many tombstones. He selected the only four applicants who each had 25 tombstones, setting up a team for the coming zombie attacks.

• Wang Yu checked the other players' domains and saw that many still had at least a dozen tombstones, while his own had none.
