RLDRFH Chapter 132

T/N: I haven’t been translating the other titles on here… but I had to for this one: Plant vs. Zombies!!! ?

“The range under its control is too large. Even if we make a detour, we may not be sure we can go out…” They are not familiar with the streets around here. If they fail to make a detour when trying, they will eventually encounter its branches. In this case, it is better to plan to fight from the get-go – it’s better to seize the initiative than being forced to fight.

“But we are not sure what power this flower has…” Remember the weird flower they met when traveling with Samsara – it can even create blooms on a vine in an instant! It’s important to know whether this thing is poisonous or can produce some other effects.

“It would be fine if you could drop the bomb on it, or in the body…” He Zizhong rubbed his chin. This matter still has to rely on Tuanzi’s assistance. Tuanzi cannot transport anything other than crystal nuclei into and out of the space. Therefore, this matter has to be done manually by themselves, but if there is one mistake, it will be dangerous. But…

“Puff, puff, puff.” Beside the two of them, Tuanzi had little stars in its eyes, as it jumped around in excitement. At this time, its relatively simple thinking rushed in like brainwashing. In their minds, echoed – want to eat, want to eat, want to eat, want to eat…

Well, who asked them to raise a foodie?

“This thing is so big, there must be a lot of good things on it.” Fang Hao looked at He Zizhong and winked.

He Zizhong also pretended to think about it seriously. “Maybe the space can be directly upgraded a level after Tuanzi eats it.”

After the two looked at each other, He Zizhong pointed behind them again. “Go back to the space first, and then discuss what to do.”

The biggest problem with the mutant flower is – they have no idea what kind of abilities it possesses. If it releases dangerous gas, it will be troublesome for them to deal with.

But the problem now is that the two of them can’t test the ability of this mutant flower at all.

“Let the Tuanzi measure its sphere of influence first. If there is a better path, let’s detour around first.” After discussing for a long time, the two decided safety first, and let Tuanzi go out and float around in stealth, before deciding.

The scan gave a result that stunned the two of them. When they saw the flower, there was still a long distance from the mutant flower, because the flower grew on the top of the building where the two high-rise buildings intersect. Naturally, people can see it from a distance. But they didn’t realize how wide its sphere of influence was. There were countless small rhizomes hidden in the corners of collapsed buildings not far from their location detected by Tuanzi’s scouting!

The sphere of influence of this exaggerated flower is also very exaggerated. Because of Tuanzi’s limited field of vision, the two of them couldn’t see how large the range is, but after floating for more than hour, they didn’t even reach the end of outermost circumference. It can be seen how terrifying its sphere of influence is.

What’s even more terrifying is that around the huge flowers, on the vines hidden around the buildings, there are even small flowers that are exactly the as that huge flower!

Compared with Tuanzi’s petite body, the smallest of those “small” flowers is four to five times as large as its body. Most of the flowers grow on the nodes between several intertwined plants.

“God… Unless we turn back right now, I am afraid that even if we go around, we may not be able to avoid it…” Are there other parts of this plant besides the end of those rhizomes? Although they can’t see any doesn’t mean they aren’t there.

Since encountering mutant plants, from experience, they know that what’s on the surface is only a part of it. God knows how many roots there are deep underground? Maybe their ability to reach that location was a trap the plant deliberately led them into.

“Try it, maybe we can get rid of it.” He Zizhong looked more solemn. “Even if we retreat this time and let it develop like this, who knows if it will simply grow out of the city and over to the base.”

He Zizhong has no intention to be the savior for the future of all mankind, but the base of A city is where they settled. They might survive if it’s destroyed, but it will be very lonely, and it’ll hard to others of the same kind.

Although this mutant flower is terrifying, the two can still deal with it right now-as long as the thermal weapons in the space are used reasonably.

As the two of them were calculating, Tuanzi continued to circle outside. Suddenly, in Tuanzi’s eyes, the two of them saw the figure of something else-a zombie!

It is not the plants that are catching zombies, but zombies are fighting with this plant!

“…What is this?!” Fang Hao ‘looked’ at the strange zombies that appeared in Tuanzi’s field of vision. The tallest one was seven or eight meters tall. What is disgusting is that it isn’t an ordinary zombie that grew to such a height, but is composed of countless fragmented zombies!!

He Zizhong was silent for a moment. “I encountered this kind of thing last time in the dock warehouse in F city. The size wasn’t as big as this, but at least half the size.” It seems that this thing will also evolve. Of course, perhaps evolution means collecting more corpses of the same kind to join its body?

Fang Hao bit his lips and glanced at He Zizhong. “Now, what shall we do? Shall we…”

Tuanzi suddenly flew higher at this time. It can be seen that in order to cope with these sudden zombie attacks, the plant mobilized nearby roots to help with the defense. Dense brown roots like swarms of snakes, spread over the surface. One after another, tan-colored flowers bloomed, revealing the bright red petals and tender yellow stamens inside.

The stamens quivered, and a little golden pollen wafted from the stamens…

Plants vs. Zombies.

This was the couple’s first and only thought after seeing this scene, but neither the plants nor zombies were on their side.

“Fly higher.” He Zizhong ordered the Tuanzi to fly higher, to see how many zombies came and how much subsequent fighting power there is afterwards. If the fighting power is too low, then it’s still more appropriate to escape from the opposite direction at this time.

“Look at the sky!” Some wind zombies flying over with cyan wings appeared in Tuanzi’s field of vision. In addition, there was a steady stream of zombies from the depths of the street.

He Zizhong raised his eyebrows and looked at Fang Hao. “Maybe we can give them a big ticket.”

The car is hidden far away from this battlefield. With Tuanzi’s help, they can give both sides a big gift. The premise is their actions must be swift enough and guard against the pollen.

Fang Hao’s eyes also lit up. “We have protective clothing and gas masks!” These things were found in a fire fighting center after they entered the city. They had no immediate plan for these things, but the couple who are guilty of having a collecting addiction thew such things into the space together with explosion-proof axes, water pipes and the like.

Although this thing can be used to block the blood of zombies and avoid infection, it is too bulky and difficult to move in, so the two of them have never used it before.

But now that they have determined the attack method of these plants, as long as they can block the pollen…

The two sides over there continued fighting. Whether it was a mutant plant or a weird zombie army, obviously they couldn’t live peacefully together. In that case, the couple decided to be a cardinal¹As in the the bird. I’m guessing there’s some lore around gift-giving?.

The two of them put together all the weapons they could use. After diving them into categories, they used Tuanzi to select a suitable location, and then – set the blasting point!

The couple left the space with Tuanzi at the same time. After leaving the space, Fang Hao used his speed to attack the rhizomes of nearby mutant plants first. After drawing their attention, He Zizhong quickly planted the bomb. Once they succeeded, they quickly returned to the space, and the next spot.

Because their movements are extremely fast, the plants completely lost sight of them before they could react. Although the explosion points they arranged were very close together, they used Tuanzi to move to to a distant location each time, waiting until the places they visited before to calm down before reappearing. As such, they couldn’t attract the vigilance of the plants at all. All of its attention was pulled by the zombie army in the other direction!

The zombies and the plants fought for two full days. He Zizhong and Fang Hao also used this time to prepare for a full two days. Although the surface is not fully covered, most of the positions with flowers were prepped with heavy-duty explosives. They didn’t even plan to let go of the flowers entrenched in the upper floors.

In the evening of the second day, the army of zombies who had advanced at least halfway to the flower’s core was still fighting bravely, and two figures suddenly appeared directly above the army of zombies and the plants.

He Zizhong’s cyan wind power enveloped the two of them, slowing them down. A few sensitive zombies raised their heads subconsciously to see more dark things suddenly appear in the air, dropping downwards – but the sight of humans weren’t seen at all.

Those dark things fell along with the patter of light rain in the night. The zombies who didn’t know fear didn’t care at all. The mutant plant didn’t even pay attention to it either, still struggling to kill zombies and dig out their crystal nuclei as nutritional supplements.

BOOM! RUMBLE!

Flames exploded in the skies, reaching the clouds, at the location of the two opposing parties, shaking the ground for a while. Soon, the ammunition arranged near the plant also burst one after another under timed detonation…

Bombs awaaaaayyyy!
