Chapter 107 The Mist

After lunch, the pool area officially opened.

As before, Dave once again delivered a large bag of seeds, but this time Dave's appearance had changed quite a bit compared to the previous two times.

His hair was messier, he spoke faster, and he seemed to have become even more insane.

As always, the pool level is still not much of a challenge under the crushing power of the second-generation plants. Since the level location has been moved to the back of the pool this time, there is much more room for maneuver.

Bai Chen basically used this pool level to test the bunch of half-finished products that Huo Lingmeng had given him before.

To save costs, these semi-finished products from the other party are basically stripped-down versions. Although players may not appreciate them, they are just right for ordinary people.

In fact, these semi-finished products were originally intended for distribution to ordinary people—or rather, soldiers.

Due to a severe shortage of players, and in the face of the ever-increasing number of disasters, the nation is currently preparing a planned military buildup.

The reason why he and Kōreimon received orders was probably because of this.

Just as Bai Chen was deep in thought, quite abruptly, a large shadow fell in front of him.

When he looked up, he was quite dumbfounded to see that a defensive tower, about three or four meters high, had appeared on the lotus leaves in front of the pool.

In perfect unison, Bai Chen and Su Qun both turned to look at Ye Qingheng standing to the side.

"That's the invisible monster I summoned yesterday."

Ye Qingheng pushed up her sunglasses, looking completely nonchalant.

"It was just lucky that it achieved a critical success in both of its evolutions, nothing special."

"—You call this evolution?" / "—Are your summoned creatures defensive towers?"

"The leap in grade is random, so it's not surprising that something will happen. When I tested it in the store before, even stranger things happened."

Reaching out to pick up the juice from the table beside her and taking a sip, Ye Qingheng glanced at Bai Chen almost imperceptibly.

"It's just a defensive tower, there's no need to make a fuss about it."

Bai Chen:

'

'

—He sensed that the other person seemed to be subtly enjoying it.

The situation was already one-sided. With the appearance of defensive towers that could attack the entire field and almost instantly kill enemies, the pool level was practically foolproof.

—Then, night fell.

After the pool level comes the mist level.

The game is basically stuck here right now.

Unlike the previous levels, this level offers a special perk: when you feel your defenses are about to be breached, you can choose to give up and try again the next day.

As for the price, you have to offer a sacrifice.

Currently, most other countries use death row inmates as a substitute. One death row inmate can postpone the game by one day, which is a very worthwhile deal.

In order to study disasters, some countries have reportedly even secretly activated the D-level personnel setting. It is precisely because of this that the number of homeless people on the streets of the United States has been decreasing dramatically during this period.

During his free time in the morning, Qin Feng had thoughtfully prepared death row inmates for him. Of course, for humanitarian reasons, these death row inmates had been given anesthesia beforehand.

Although Bai Chen didn't think he would get stuck in the fog-shrouded level, after thinking about it for a moment, he still used cards to put two death row inmates in the way.

—However, he didn't tell Su Qun and Ye Qingheng about this.

It is worth noting that this time, Dave not only looked more insane than before, but also began to have unexplained dark red marks on his clothes and beard.

After handing them the seeds, Dave turned and stumbled into the darkness, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Because no one has cleared the Misty Pass yet, Bai Chen was unusually focused this time, and also made sure the other two were well prepared.

Even so, the sheer number of zombies emerging from the fog at the start of the game still startled him.

At the start of the game, zombies appeared on all six roads: four land routes and two water routes. What's more, they were all high-level zombies like the Second Master, the rugby ball, the ice cart, and the iron bucket, and their numbers were almost comparable to the zombie horde during the day.

At this point, they had only managed to plant three Sun Mushrooms.

—He seemed to know why no one had ever cleared the Fog of War level.

Even though they had made ample preparations in advance, they were still in a state of chaos—this was only because Ye Qingheng had saved up probability points in advance so that they would have sufficient sunlight supply.

Although there were no plants in the first generation that could instantly obtain a large amount of sunlight, that does not mean that there are none in the second generation. The Sunshine Bud is truly a god among gods.

Perhaps because it costs zero, Ye Qingheng encountered the [Sunshine Bud] an unusually large number of times when upgrading plants. Although this plant wasn't very useful in the earlier daytime, nighttime, and pool levels, it was a great help in the fog levels where almost every wave was a large horde of zombies.

Sufficient sunlight provides them with enough room for error, allowing them to successfully establish a sunlight production line in the early stages. Otherwise, with the terrifying number of monsters spawning in the Fog Level, they wouldn't even be able to save up sunlight, let alone grow plants.

Even so, for the three hours after the fog of war was opened, the three of them remained on edge, fearing that a single mistake would cause the entire defense to collapse.

As you progress, the number of monsters spawning in the fog levels becomes increasingly outrageous, often with hundreds of zombies swarming in at once. Faced with such a terrifying number of monsters, apart from the Ash Plant and Corn Cannon, the other plants in the first generation are basically useless, not to mention that most of these hundreds of zombies are high-level zombies like Rugby, Second Master, and Clown.

At times, Bai Chen even had the feeling that he was fighting endless waves of high-level attacks—especially when he saw red-eyed giants starting to appear in the mist.

Because the sun was always stuck on the red line, even though they had the defensive tower, a weapon that could kill almost instantly, they didn't dare to send it onto the field.

Until a second-generation plant with true swarm attack capabilities evolved, their main method of fighting zombie hordes was through swarming, to the point that the enemy had to hastily create some mechanical constructs on the spot.

It wasn't until three hours later that the situation began to stabilize.

"This number—now I finally understand why no one has been able to get through this fog barrier yet."

Exhausted, Su Qun almost collapsed to the ground, looking completely powerless and unable to even lift his hands.

"This level is purely for revenge against society."

"Alright, stop talking and get some rest to recover your strength. This level isn't over yet."

Bai Chen glanced at Ye Qingheng, who was equally exhausted and barely wanted to speak, then looked at the swimming pool in front of him.

Or rather—at the very beginning.
