Chapter Summaries

Wang Yu defended his Great Tree against 25 Catapult Zombies and 25 Level 1 Fog Winds, then learned that a far more dangerous wave was approaching. He prepared extra Fiery Chilis but doubted his plants could survive the next attack.

• Wang Yu harvested Solar Energy and received a warning that 25 Catapult Zombies and 25 Level 1 Fog Winds were approaching.
• Wang Yu used Dice to increase his Fiery Chili cards to 20 so he would have more powerful weapons ready.
• Wang Yu's plants attacked the Level 1 Fog Winds while he caught and hurled rocks back at the Catapult Zombies, clearing the wave with little damage to the Leaf Umbrella.
• Wang Yu received a warning that 15 Level 2 Fog Winds and 10 Level 3 Fog Winds would arrive in one hour.
• Wang Yu assessed the powerful Football, Jumping, and Tractor Zombies in the coming wave and feared his plants could not stop them.

Wang Yu watched players who had chosen higher difficulty modes panic as a sudden Storm Mode threatened to overwhelm them, then prepared for a massive assault on his Big Tree. When 290 zombies charged from approaching Fog Winds, he began countering the fastest threats with a Fiery Chili.

• Wang Yu read the Chat Channels and saw that players facing the coming Fog Winds were cursing the trap, with many choosing to leave the Survival Game rather than risk being killed and cursed.
• Wang Yu gathered Solar Energy as twenty-five Catapult Zombies, fifteen Level 2 Fog Winds, and ten Level 3 Fog Winds approached his area.
• The Fog Winds released 290 zombies, including Catapult Zombies, Jumping Zombies, Balloon Zombies, Football Zombies, Tractor Zombies, and other special zombies.
• Wang Yu identified the Catapult Zombies and fast-moving Jumping Zombies as the immediate threats, while judging that his Cacti and Three-Line Shooters could handle the Balloon Zombies.
• Wang Yu used a Fiery Chili card to attack one group of Jumping Zombies as the horde rushed toward his Big Tree.

Wang Yu fought off successive waves of Catapult Zombies while using [Fiery Chili] cards to clear Jumping Zombies and the hordes behind the Level 3 Fog Winds. After eliminating the Tractor Zombies and many other enemies, he faced a final rush of Football Zombies as his [Potato Mines] exploded around the Big Tree.

• Wang Yu caught and hurled boulders at the Catapult Zombies while activating [Fiery Chili] cards to destroy Jumping Zombies across multiple lanes.
• Wang Yu used more [Fiery Chili] cards as the remaining Zombies closed in on the Big Tree and caught another wave of boulders.
• Wang Yu hurled boulders at the front Tractor Zombies and used six [Fiery Chili]s to destroy the Zombies lined up behind six Level 3 Fog Winds.
• Wang Yu spent his remaining [Fiery Chili] cards and Solar Energy to clear the other four lanes, eliminating all ten Tractor Zombies and the Zombies behind the Level 3 Fog Winds.
• Thirty Football Zombies approached within 50 meters of the Big Tree, and the [Potato Mines] Wang Yu had planted around it exploded.

Wang Yu survived the Howling Storm Hell Mode after defeating 290 zombies, then claimed permanent enhancements for his Great Tree and plants. With no further Fog Wind announced, he prepared to recover while other players discovered that he had survived Hell Mode and remained unharmed.

• Wang Yu used his plants, Fiery Chilies, and Potato Mines to eliminate the 290 zombies, letting the Big-Mouth Flower swallow one Football Zombie for a Pumpkin Head.
• Wang Yu spent 3,225 Solar Energy and lost 12 Potato Mines, but considered the cost worthwhile after surviving the dangerous wave.

• Wang Yu replaced six damaged Leaf Umbrellas with Sunflowers to gather Solar Energy during the pause.
• Players in Wang Yu's region saw that he had survived Hell Mode, with his Great Tree intact and zombie corpses scattered around it.

After Wang Yu accumulated more than 30,000 Solar Energy, he unlocked Endless Mode and decided to challenge it after finishing his harvest. His first challenge began with a Level 1 Fog Wind, while an announcement naming him the first challenger stunned players across the game.

• Wang Yu's Sunflowers harvested Solar Energy until he surpassed 30,000, unlocking the chance to challenge Endless Mode.
• Wang Yu read the rules, weighed the potential costs and rewards, and decided to accept the challenge after harvesting all the Solar Energy available that day.

• The game announced Wang Yu's achievement to all players, leaving players across more than a million civilizations confused and stunned.

Wang Yu won 24 Machine Gun Shooter cards in a turntable draw and prepared his Big Tree defenses for Endless Mode. Fog Winds began bringing increasingly large groups of Zombies, which his plants killed quickly.

• Blue Star players tagged Wang Yu and urged him to explain how to challenge Endless Mode, but he ignored them.
• Wang Yu drew 24 Machine Gun Shooter cards, which fired four peas per attack and could replace his Three-Line Shooters as his main attackers.
• Wang Yu sawed down the 26 Sunflowers on the Big Tree, fed them to the Big-Mouth Flower, and planted Potato Mines around the tree.
• A Level 1 Fog Wind brought two Ordinary Zombies into Wang Yu's area, and his Big Peas killed them almost immediately.
• Five more Level 1 Fog Winds arrived with ten Ordinary Zombies, which Wang Yu's plants killed, before a warning announced ten more Fog Winds.

Wang Yu survived the escalating Fog Wind waves in Endless Mode and began upgrading his Great Tree as Level 2 Fog Winds approached. After replacing his Three-Line Shooters with Machine Gun Shooters, he discovered that Mutated Plants had only a five-second cooldown in Endless Mode.

• Wang Yu's Mutated Plants easily killed the first ten waves of Zombies as the waves grew larger, and Players shared his Endless Mode challenge across the Civilization Chat Channel.
• After the eleventh wave, Wang Yu saw that the next wave would include a Level 2 Fog Wind and decided to spend his resources strengthening the Great Tree.
• Wang Yu used all 24 Machine Gun Shooter Cards to grow 24 Machine Gun Shooters, giving his Great Tree enough firepower to fire 96 Big Peas per attack.
• The twelfth wave brought 50 Level 1 Fog Winds and one Level 2 Fog Wind carrying a Football Zombie and four Ordinary Zombies, but Wang Yu's plants killed them in one volley.
• Wang Yu grew two Torch Stumps and discovered that Endless Mode reduced Mutated Plant cooldowns to five seconds.

Wang Yu strengthened the Big Tree’s defenses with Cacti and Spike Kings as increasingly large zombie waves attacked. After the plants stopped Wave 22, a Level 3 Fog Wind was announced, and the surviving horde had advanced to within thirty meters of the tree.

• Wang Yu replaced six Three-Line Shooters with three Cacti and three Spike Kings, then fed the removed plants to the Big-Mouth Flower.
• Wang Yu tested a Spike King and confirmed that its spikes could kill a Jumping Zombie that ran over them.
• Waves 15 through 22 brought growing numbers of Football Zombies and Jumping Zombies closer to the Big Tree.
• Wang Yu’s plants killed Wave 22’s 20 Jumping Zombies and 30 Football Zombies, then fought through 250 other zombies.
• The plants eliminated the remaining horde only after it had reached within thirty meters of the Big Tree, while a Level 3 Fog Wind was forecast for the next wave.

Wang Yu reworked the Great Tree’s defenses and fought off a Level 3 Fog Wind wave, then prepared for five more Level 3 Fog Winds. After that wave, he faced an unexpected warning that the next one would bring ten Level 3 Fog Winds.

• Wang Yu replaced Three-Line Shooters with three Torch Stumps and five Tall Wall-nuts, then fed the remaining shooters to the Big-Mouth Flower for Solar Energy.
• Wang Yu destroyed a Tractor Zombie with a Cherry Bomb and fourteen rear Zombies with a Fiery Chili, while a Tall Wall-nut held back four Football Zombies.
• Wang Yu’s flaming Big Peas killed the four Football Zombies, and his Mutated Plants wiped out the rest of the wave; he replaced the damaged Tall Wall-nut.
• Wang Yu faced five Level 3 Fog Winds, including waves with Tractor Zombies, Football Zombies, Balloon Zombies, Jumping Zombies, and rear groups of fourteen Zombies.
• Wang Yu received a warning that ten Level 3 Fog Winds would arrive next, then threw a Wall-nut at a Tractor Zombie.

Wang Yu fought off successive Fog Wind waves by using Wall-nuts and Big Tree’s explosive and restraining plants, but the growing enemy numbers strained his Solar Energy and the five-second cooldown. After surviving ten Level 3 Fog Winds, he realized he needed a new strategy to endure the next waves.

• Wang Yu destroyed the Tractor Zombies and cleared the remaining enemies in five Level 3 Fog Winds, spending three Wall-nuts, four Cherry Bombs, and five Fiery Chilis.
• Wang Yu prepared spare Wall-nuts as a hundred and ten Fog Winds approached, including ten Level 3 Fog Winds.
• Wang Yu attacked the ten Level 3 Fog Winds with Wall-nuts, Cherry Bombs, Fiery Chilis, Squashes, and Entangling Seaweeds, clearing them at a cost of 2,185 Solar Energy.
• Wang Yu recognized that the five-second cooldown prevented him from growing plants quickly enough and considered using Tall Wall-nuts and Potato Mines to survive the approaching waves.

Wang Yu traded Solar Energy for Wall-nuts and used them alongside Big Tree’s plants to defeat the incoming Zombie waves. By scattering more than a hundred Wall-nuts across the routes, he created barriers that gave his Machine Gun Shooters time to attack, leaving him better prepared to survive further waves.

• Wang Yu listed a trade offering 60 Solar Energy for each Wall-nut, and players began sending him Wall-nuts.
• Wang Yu had Big Tree grow a Tall Wall-nut and prepared plants as the next group of Fog Winds approached.
• Wang Yu threw Wall-nuts at Tractor Zombies while Big Tree’s plants attacked, then used more Wall-nuts and plants to eliminate the wave.
• After spending 23 Wall-nuts and several plants to clear the wave, Wang Yu bought another 100 Wall-nuts and used 41 more during the 27th wave.
• Wang Yu realized the Wall-nuts he had thrown onto the routes blocked incoming Zombies and bought time for his Machine Gun Shooters.
• With more than a hundred Wall-nuts slowing the Zombies, Wang Yu’s Machine Gun Shooters dealt most of the damage, reducing his costs and helping him endure more waves.

Wang Yu spent his remaining Solar Energy on Wall-nuts and fought through the 31st and 32nd waves of Fog Winds. With his Wall-nuts gone, he prepared to spend his final resources on one more wave, relying on the Potato Mines buried around Big Tree.

• After clearing the 30th wave, Wang Yu traded 6,000 Solar Energy for 100 more Tall Wall-nuts.
• Wang Yu used Wall-nuts, Cherry Bombs, and Fiery Chilis to defeat the 31st wave, leaving 67 Wall-nuts and 2,645 Solar Energy.
• Wang Yu fought through the 32nd wave as 50 Level 1, 50 Level 2, and 45 Level 3 Fog Winds approached, using all 67 Wall-nuts and reducing his Solar Energy to 1,325.
• Wang Yu decided to challenge another wave despite lacking enough resources for it, placing his hopes in Potato Mines buried along all 36 routes and his remaining cards and reserve.

Wang Yu traded his Three-Line Shooters and Coffee Beans to gather resources for the approaching Fog Winds. After defeating the ensuing Zombie horde, he received a warning that an even stronger wave, including a Level 4 Fog Wind, would arrive in three minutes.

• Wang Yu spent Solar Energy on Wall-nuts, then auctioned his Three-Line Shooters for Wall-nuts and damaged Tall Wall-nuts when players lacked Cherry Bombs and Fiery Chilis.
• Wang Yu auctioned three Coffee Beans for 850 Solar Energy each, raising his Solar Energy to 2,625.
• A wave of Fog Winds appeared, and a warning announced that 50 Level 1 Fog Winds, 50 Level 2 Fog Winds, 50 Level 3 Fog Winds, and one Level 4 Fog Wind would arrive in three minutes.
• Wang Yu used a Wall-nut and had the Big Tree grow Cherry Bombs, a Fiery Chili, a Squash, and an Entangling Seaweed to eliminate the Zombies.

After surviving 33 waves of Fog Winds in Endless Mode, Wang Yu ended his challenge and claimed Solar Energy cards, a Tree Mother's Heart, and a Cattail Cat. He fused the Cattail Cat with his Corn Catcher and discovered it could attack continuously, while Players watched and argued about his strength and rewards.

• Wang Yu ended his Endless Mode challenge after using most of his resources and received 12 Solar Energy cards, a Tree Mother's Heart, and a Cattail Cat for surviving 11, 22, and 33 waves of Fog Winds.
• Wang Yu examined the Cattail Cat and learned it could fuse with an Attack Type Mutated Plant to attack any target continuously and later unfuse.
• Wang Yu fused the Cattail Cat with his Corn Catcher, creating a Big Cat whose tail fired a continuous stream of Corn Cobs.
• Wang Yu concluded that the Cattail Cat's rapid attacks made the costly challenge worthwhile.
• Players in Wang Yu's area noticed the Big Cat and debated his Endless Mode performance, with some accusing him of relying on unfair advantages and others defending him.

Wang Yu fused the Cattail Cat with the Machine Gun Shooter, then prepared for the third night of the Survival Game. After drawing 30 Tombstone Devourer Cards, he decided to save them and used a Coffee Bean to awaken his new plant for the approaching Zombie attacks.

• Wang Yu unfused the Cattail Cat from the Corn Catcher and fused it with the Machine Gun Shooter to create a more powerful attacker.

• Wang Yu used a Coffee Bean to wake the sleeping Cattail Cat (Machine Gun Shooter) for the night.

Wang Yu reorganized the Big Tree’s plants to boost Solar Energy production, then raised Tree Mother from level 17 to 18. The upgrade let the Big Tree move, though Wang Yu decided not to travel yet because he was surrounded by enormous trees.

• Wang Yu used Coffee Beans to wake Cattail Cat and Torch Stump, then replaced seven Cowardly Sprouts and six Big Sprouts with Sunlight Sprouts.
• Wang Yu used the Dice on a Tree Mother's Heart and gained three more, giving him enough Hearts to upgrade Tree Mother.
• Wang Yu consumed a Tree Mother Upgrade Card and a Tree Mother's Heart to raise Tree Mother to level 18.
• The Big Tree grew to 30 meters tall, and the upgrade increased its movement speed and improved its plants’ toughness, attack speed, damage, double-attack chance, and Solar Energy absorption.
• Wang Yu discovered that the Big Tree could uproot itself and move, but chose not to go anywhere while surrounded by trees thousands of meters tall.

Wang Yu used his Big Tree’s strengthened defenses and Cattail Cat to withstand waves of Zombies while gathering Solar Energy. After saving enough, he raised Tree Mother to Level 19 and learned that reaching Level 20 would also cost 10,000 Solar Energy.

• Wang Yu returned the Big Tree to its original spot and saw that reaching Level 19 required 10,000 Solar Energy.
• Thirty Sunlight Sprouts produced 900 Solar Energy every half hour as Zombies emerged from tombstones and attacked the Big Tree.
• Wang Yu watched the Cattail Cat (Machine Gun Shooter) and other Mutated Plants quickly wipe out the Zombies, including Football Zombies.
• By three in the morning, 42 new tombstones had appeared, and Wang Yu continued harvesting Solar Energy until he had 10,825.
• Wang Yu spent 10,000 Solar Energy to raise Tree Mother to Level 19, gaining additional bonuses for its Mutated Plants.
• A Prompt Message informed Wang Yu that raising Tree Mother from Level 19 to Level 20 would require another 10,000 Solar Energy.

Wang Yu used his newly increased Solar Energy to strengthen the Big Tree and prepared Cattail Cats to defend against the night’s Zombies. After surviving the final wave, he rearranged the Big Tree’s Mutated Plants to make room for Sunflowers, leaving it growing them as daytime began.

• Wang Yu rolled a two and added two Cattail Cats, then fused one with the Corn Catcher to create a Cattail Cat (Corn Catcher).
• Wang Yu’s Cattail Cats helped him survive the night, and he counted 151 Zombie tombstones after the final wave died at six in the morning.
