Chen Mo hit the Start button and planted an Ice-shroom in the second row.

Just a few seconds later, accompanied by the creepy sound effects, a huge wave of zombies appeared!

It was really a wave of zombies, there were so many of them it was impossible to count. It was difficult to tell what types of zombies were there, as the only thing identifiable was the red eyes of the Gargantuar, tightly stacked as it stomped forwards.

Dancing Zombies, Pole-vaulting Zombies, and Football Zombies could sometimes be identified between the Gargantuars. The Zombies with their vaulting poles in their hands looked like knights charging into battle, the people watching could barely contain their shock.

1The red-eyed Gargantuars tossed their Imps one after another, and soon after eight Imps landed beside the Gloom-shrooms. That wasn’t the end of it; the imps kept getting hurled towards the plants in a constant stream, all of them chewing away at the Winter-melon.

The Gloom-shrooms started shooting crazily, and the flurry of Winter-melon shots at the zombies never slowed down, either.

Chen Mo was quite calm, directing Cobs and other explosive plants towards the hoards of zombies, turning the waves of zombies into ash. Every so often, Chen Mo placed some Puff-shrooms and Sun-shroom down to slow down the zombies slightly .

Under the constant waves of explosives, the hoards of zombies fell. Before Wen Lingwei and the others could make out what the zombies looked like, they were turned into ashes and coins on the ground.

Moreover, Chen Mo had good control over the tempo of firing the Cob Cannons as he predicted the positions of the zombies and always provided support to wherever it was needed.

Jia Peng’s eyes and mouth were wide open at this performance. Chang Xiuya had her hands over her mouth, and even Wen Lingwei was staring.

You can actually play like this?!

How could a puzzle game feel like it requires higher APM than your average strategy game?

1Under the constant bombing by Chen Mo, it felt like the Zombies couldn’t do anything in retaliation. Anything that walked onto the screen would die without resistance.

“I now know how insane the Cob Cannon is.”

“I knew that it was strong, but how is he able to protect so many of them?”

“I think… that this strategy is amazing! Reacting to all different types of zombies perfectly, interesting!”

The audience were starting to get tense from the action.

As the game continued, the assault from the zombies never stopped, but their speed was slowed down significantly. Under Chen Mo’s methodical bombings, they died quickly.

Even as a huge wave of zombies arrived, Chen Mo had managed to not lose any plants!

“It’s coming, a huge wave of zombies are approaching! I think the manager will be able to hold!”

“Oh my, there’s so many of them!”

After the warning from the game, a huge wave of zombies approached. Hordes of Imps flew towards the plants, and the Gargantuars moved forwards, withstanding the retaliating firepower.

It was all under Chen Mo’s control, maintaining the tempo from Cob Cannons and Bombs; it was hard to take in, there was so much going on.

Jia Peng couldn’t understand what was going on at all. He wanted to follow Chen Mo’s cursor, but there was too much going on on the screen, so it was impossible for him to remember all the operations Chen Mo was executing.

The others all had their attention on the screen, too. They knew that Chen Mo being able to beat so many levels wasn’t just because of the strategy, but execution and technique, too!

They basically had the statergy down, but there was still the technique that was lacking.

After a minute of exciting battle, the last red-eyed Gargantuar fell. Chen Mo’s plants were basically at full health, his Bombs were essentially off cooldown, and he hadn’t spent too many suns, either.

“Wow, he beat the level!”
