On the airplane, everyone began to feel restless. The journey had been unusually quiet. Although they knew they were heading to the Western Region, no one was anxious; instead, they were filled with excitement. Each person believed they were among the lucky few chosen for this opportunity.
They had obtained a very rare and precious Seed Level. The Seed Level grew at an astonishing rate. Once planted in the soil, it would take only a few minutes to develop into a Battle Seed. With such powerful seeds in hand, even in the dangerous Western Region, they felt absolutely confident that they could become formidable Farmers.
To ensure the success of their planting efforts, bombardments would be conducted near each drop zone. Areas dominated by Dark Matter would be bombed into scorched earth. These regions typically remained safe for seven days. In that time, their Seed Levels would have matured enough to cultivate vast fields. Even when faced with a Zombie Tide attack, these individuals believed they could survive.
However, their destination was Heaven Gate. The Dark Matter in other areas was nowhere near as concentrated as that around Heaven Gate. All the Dark Matter in the western part of the Dragon Kingdom flowed through Heaven Gate into the kingdom itself. In such a treacherous environment, even after being bombarded by Ton Gathering and Firepower Coverage, it would take no more than three days for a massive horde of Zombies to arrive—if luck was on their side.
If they happened to land near a terrifying Mammoth, however, their fate would be sealed; the bombardment from the airplane would not be enough to take down a Mammoth. Tension filled the cabin as everyone grew anxious and began to rise from their seats, shouting in panic: "We don’t want to go to Heaven Gate! We don’t want to die!"
The loudest among them was a young man with yellow hair. At that moment, a squad of soldiers appeared in the cabin, their weapons aimed menacingly at him. A stern-faced commander stepped forward and shouted angrily, "Everyone calm down! What do you think you’re doing? This chaos is unacceptable!"
“To ensure the success of this Farm Owner operation, we have deployed a Bomber equipped with one hundred million tons of explosives—enough to obliterate all Dark Matter within a city’s range. According to calculations from Guozijian, you will have at least three days of safety.”
“These thousands of Seed Levels are the Dragon Kingdom’s reserves for this year. To ensure this operation succeeds, we have mobilized tens of thousands of elite Imperial Guards and spent three years producing this vast amount of ammunition.”
“For the Dragon Kingdom and for your own survival, fight to live!”
Looking at the soldiers and listening to the words of the general before him, everyone fell silent.
To establish a Farm Owner at Heaven Gate, the Dragon Kingdom had truly invested heavily. The reserves of ammunition and the precious Seed Levels were invaluable. It was important to note that the Dragon Kingdom was not only facing monsters from the Western Regions. The Southern Frontier, Northern Frontier, and Eastern Sea also required defense against a large number of Dark Matter attacks.
A Farmer was merely equivalent to a defensive fortress; it could not cover such an extensive front line. A significant military presence and a vast array of weapons were still needed to fend off the Dark Matter onslaught. Under these circumstances, accumulating such a quantity of ammunition to buy time for establishing the Farm Owner was exceedingly difficult.
The Western Region was the largest area in the Dragon Kingdom. Although it was not suitable for crop cultivation, it possessed abundant Metal Ore Veins. Currently, the metal production of the Dragon Kingdom was alarmingly low. If they could not swiftly reclaim the Western Region, it would be metal that would fail them before food would. As a major power, metal resources should not be an issue; however, the challenge lay in the lack of sufficient raw materials. The Dragon Kingdom could not sustain itself for much longer.
If they failed to retake the Western Region, calculations from Guozijian indicated that the Dragon Kingdom could last at most another ten years before they would be unable to defend the other three front lines due to a shortage of weapons and ammunition. Thus, the highest leader, Elder Zhang, issued such an order: no matter the cost, they must reclaim Heaven Gate.
Ye Feihong and his group were fortunate enough to be selected among numerous Seed Levels. Their luck was indeed commendable. Prior to their arrival, the Dragon Kingdom had made several attempts to establish a foothold. They had sent elite soldiers equipped with substantial gear to ensure that several Agronomists could set up a Farm Owner while dispatching large military forces to support Bombers in slowing down the influx of Dark Matter at critical points.
However, all these efforts yielded no results. The concentration of Dark Matter around Heaven Gate was overwhelming. In just a few days, it was impossible to establish even one Farm Owner capable of resisting such numbers. Ultimately, Guozijian proposed a suggestion.
It all comes down to luck.
The fate of a nation resting on the shoulders of the European Emperor sounds like a joke. Yet now, it has become a sad reality. The Dragon Kingdom cannot hold out much longer. Only a Destined Person, fortunate enough to establish a Farm Owner in a place hidden from the Dark Matter, can survive in such a terrifying environment.
On this plane, every individual selected at the Seed Level is undoubtedly a European Emperor. This is what led to this operation: Operation Codename Koi.
The Grand Elder gazed at the flying formation heading towards the Western Regions, until the planes disappeared from sight. With a sigh, he said, "I hope among them, there truly emerges a koi that can leap over the Dragon Gate at Heaven Gate and transform into a true dragon."
This old man, with his graying hair and face lined with wrinkles, exuded an air of sorrow. Over the years, he had expended too much energy to protect the safety of the Dragon Kingdom.
Sitting in his seat, Ye Feihong was unaffected by the noisy surroundings. A voice echoed in his mind: "Congratulations, host. You have bound to the Farm Master System."
To think that at such a moment, I could bind to this system! With it, even in the face of trillions of Dark Matter, I can still survive.
He hurriedly asked, "What functions do you have?"
The system replied, "Rewarding Sunflower Seeds that can produce sunlight; sunlight can strengthen all plants."
Isn't this just like Plants vs. Zombies? With Sunflowers, I will surely be able to survive in the dangerous Heaven Gate.
