Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Chapter 134, "Little Splatter Mushroom"

Lin Yue had been anxiously watching Liang Dong's every move. Seeing him return safely, she quickly picked up a bowl of snake meat soup that she had prepared beforehand and handed it to Liang Dong. Chewing jerky was too slow at this moment; drinking soup would help him recover faster.

Without a word, Liang Dong took the snake meat soup and drank it down in large gulps. The scalding hot broth flowed down his throat, quickly easing his heavy body. After finishing a few mouthfuls, Liang Dong casually wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, his eyes still somewhat grave: "I just noticed, the entrance to the hole has been torn open by ants, and many ants are still pouring in. I estimate that it won't be long before the ant colony grows back in number."

After saying this, Liang Dong quickly sat down and made the most of his time to recover his strength while repairing the torches.

Lin Yue's gaze unconsciously drifted to the fighting plants as Liang Dong spoke. The "Pea Shooter" and "Double Shooter" were diligently firing bullets at the ant colony, but as time went on, their remaining bullets dwindled, and Lin Yue frowned.

She knew in her heart that her energy was limited, and even with apples as a supplement, her stomach capacity was also limited. She simply couldn't keep pulling out plants from the Plants vs. Zombies game to fight endlessly.

If you don't have enough stamina, it's difficult to increase the number of plants you can summon; and if you don't have enough plants, you naturally won't have enough bullets to fire, making you feel increasingly powerless against the swarms of ants...

Even the cheapest "Peashooter" costs 100 points.

Wait, 100 points?

Lin Yue's mind raced, and soon her eyes lit up slightly.

Speaking of energy points, she clearly remembered that in the Plants vs. Zombies game, there was a special attacking plant that didn't consume energy points. In other words, taking it out didn't require energy points!

That's the "Puff-shroom," a magical plant that serves as the first line of defense in nighttime levels.

Although its attack power is average and its attack range isn't very far, it's free! !!!

It seems it's time for her to push for a shutdown.

Lin Yue turned around immediately, looking intently at Liang Dong, and said, "Uncle Dong, I've thought of a solution, but it might take a little time."

Liang Dong's spirits lifted instantly. He looked at Lin Yue and nodded without hesitation, saying, "You do it, I'll stall for time. No matter how long it takes, I can hold out!"

The torches in his hands were almost repaired by now, and Liang Dong soaked them in tung oil again. He looked at the torches, then at the swarming ants, and after a moment of contemplation, he soaked all the hemp ropes in the oil at once: "I'll use the fire to make a barrier later, and try to keep the ants at bay as much as possible."

Seeing that Liang Dong had already made up his mind, Lin Yue didn't hesitate and directly took out several bamboo tubes of snake meat soup and placed them beside her. Then, she closed her eyes and focused her consciousness into the Plants vs. Zombies game in her mind.

She quickly picked all the ripe fruits and vegetables, and then started pushing the level.

Planting, launching, troop deployment...

Although Lin Yue was anxious, her mind remained calm and organized.

The first wave of zombies arrived, and the "Peashooters" fired their bullets in unison.

The second wave of zombies is even more ferocious, with the addition of "Ice Shooter" to slow them down;

In the third wave, the zombies gathered in too many places, so the "cherry bomb" was detonated, instantly sending flames soaring into the sky and blasting a large number of zombies to ashes...

The fourth wave,

The fifth wave...

As a light and familiar melody played, the final level of the lawn challenge was successfully completed!

In an instant, two golden treasure chests, one large and one small, appeared on the lawn. The small chest was the reward she received each time she successfully completed a level, while the large chest was presumably the grand prize given after clearing the entire lawn level.

Along with the two treasure chests appeared several eye-catching words: [Next Level]

Fearing that Liang Dong wouldn't be able to hold out for long, Lin Yue didn't bother to carefully check the rewards after opening the treasure chest and immediately stuffed them into her bracelet's inventory. Then, without hesitation, she clicked on "Next Level."

In an instant, the entire Plants vs. Zombies scene began to change. The once bright and warm sky seemed to be slowly covered by a black curtain, quickly darkening. The dazzling sunlight gradually disappeared, replaced by the cool and soft moonlight, which shone on this mysterious land that was about to face new challenges.

As soon as Lin Yue entered this new game scene, she didn't bother to look at anything else and quickly turned her attention to the encyclopedia in the upper left corner. At first glance, she saw the familiar little purple mushroom. Below it, a prominent "0" stood out—it was indeed the "Puff-shroom" with 0 energy.

Lin Yue was overjoyed and decisively pressed the pause button for the game, then immediately withdrew her consciousness.

At this moment, flames were raging inside the cave. The plants that Lin Yue had prepared earlier had long since been used up and the bullets had disappeared. The remaining "Wall of Nuts" were also only half-dead.

Liang Dong's body was covered in a mixture of sweat and blood, making it impossible to distinguish one from the other. He had a bamboo tube tightly clenched in his mouth and two torches in his hands, which he waved repeatedly in front of the "nut wall," drawing fiery arcs that burned layer upon layer of ants to death.

Seeing the urgency of the situation, Lin Yue didn't even have time to say hello. She quickly squatted down and began planting "little mushrooms" on the ground.

Since it didn't require consuming energy, Lin Yue didn't need to conserve it. Soon, she densely covered the front and back of the "Wall of Nuts" with layer upon layer of "Spore Mushrooms," forming a fire wall several meters long.

Lin Yue figured that the stinging ants of this length wouldn't be able to shoot all the way through, so she quickly shouted to Liang Dong, "Uncle Dong, come back!"

Upon hearing the shouts, Liang Dong immediately turned and backed away. He didn't notice where he was stepping and accidentally trampled several "little mushrooms," nearly tripping over them in the process.

Lin Yue quickly grabbed him and retreated rapidly while aiming for the right spot to scatter additional seeds.

The "Little Mushroom" bullets are much smaller than pea bullets, but they can still catch two or three ants. In addition, there are many "Little Mushrooms". When they die, Lin Yue just throws them over to replant them. This has created a situation where the "Little Mushrooms" and the stinging ants are evenly matched.
