Chapter 1988: Lighting the Wondrous Dream in the Heart (Part 18)
The ceiling of the hall at the entrance and exit of the Haunted Mansion's queue area was very high, somewhat similar to a medieval church, and could be called magnificent.
Strange and Stark both walked a little closer. To be honest, standing at a close distance, one couldn't tell at all that this was a broccoli; it was clearly an extremely thick and tall towering giant tree.
The main trunk was as thick and powerful as a giant's arm, and the crown covered the sky and the sun. If one had to use a metaphor, this was the World Tree of the world of ants and cabbage worms.
Schiller also walked over, looked up at this huge broccoli, then shook his head and said, "I shouldn't have chosen broccoli at the beginning. The deterrent power is too strong after being enlarged."
The group was still immersed in the shock of these magical plants when the animal friends on the other side couldn't wait any longer. The Black Panther walked over first, flicked his tail, and said, "Since you are not easy to enter the battlefield now, let us help you transport these plants to the designated location and start the combat mission."
Schiller looked back and saw the excited light flickering in the eyes of the animal gods. Clearly, they were also affected by the atmosphere in this park.
However, unlike humans, the animal nature of wild beasts is heavier. Even if they have become gods, they cannot get rid of animal instincts.
Humans feel fear in a gloomy, oppressive, and tense environment because the human cerebral cortex is more developed, the association ability is stronger, and there is existing cognition of ghosts and the like.
But animal gods are different. They are animals. The abstract thinking of animals is not developed, and they are not good at association, and there is no such thing as ghost stories. So when they feel nervous and oppressive, they often stimulate hunting instincts and increase the desire to attack, which is used to protect themselves in the dangerous nature.
The terrifying atmosphere in the Haunted Mansion was strengthened, and the instincts they stimulated were also strengthened. In summary, they were already boiling with animal blood.
Bruce immediately spread a piece of white paper on the reception desk in front and began to outline the map. Although queuing to play was a morning thing, Bruce remembered every detail of the front and back yards.
They were now standing in front of the main entrance of the Haunted Mansion, and the front yard opposite was one of the attractions, the mansion garden. On the right was a not-so-small pond, and on the left was a cemetery.
Moving backward was the main entrance leading to the elevator, and if one took the side door, one could go around to the backyard. Strange had just gone over to take a look, and the backyard was also full of monsters.
This structure had an advantage, that is, whether it was the monsters in the pond or the cemetery, they had to pass through the garden in the front yard to attack the main entrance. But the disadvantage was that everyone also had to pass through the garden with the most troops to go to other locations.
The garden was actually not large, presenting a rectangular shape as a whole. There was a fountain in the very center, and there were two walkways surrounding the shrub flower beds on both sides. One side had an irregular shrub maze, and behind it were those few statues.
Bruce drew all the terrain on the white paper at high speed. When everyone gathered to take a look, they found that the scale was almost perfect, and even the details of the shrubs were drawn.
"We don't know when they will start attacking for the time being, but we must take advantage of the free time to set up defensive facilities. If the attack and defense are at the same time, it will definitely be a mess."
"I think Pamela's proposal is very worth referring to. We must have a final means to ensure that the hall is not attacked, so we can completely plant the wheat that can produce ice-cold sealing layers around the gate first."
"Wait." Stark raised an objection and said, "We are on a bluestone road in front of us, and there is no soil. Can it really be planted?"
"When I was doing plant improvement, I naturally considered this point." Pamela said, "The plants I brought have been injected with nutrient solution in advance, so they can be active for a long time even if they leave the soil. However, wheat has a problem, that is, it must stand up, and it won't work if it falls on the ground."
"So we do need some soil, right?" Bruce looked at her and asked.
"I can get some with magic." Strange indicated that there was no problem. He said, "Just digging soil shouldn't trigger the rules, but to be on the safe side, I will weave baskets that can be used with crimson silk ribbons, and then let the animal gods take them to dig soil."
After this problem was solved, Bruce continued, "You also brought guard vines, right?"
Pamela nodded and said, "But that hasn't been improved, and it must have a climbing frame to have a certain defensive counterattack ability."
"What kind of climbing frame do you want?" Stark asked immediately.
"It's best to have a scaffold. If not, a household scaffold will do. But the horizontal and vertical bars must be vertical, otherwise it may cause the vines to grow unevenly."
Stark immediately took out a card from his armor and said, "This is a miniature engineering steel frame for building the Mercury base. It is made of molten steel and has high strength, and can be freely combined into shapes."
After speaking, he felt a bit pained and handed the card to Pamela and said, "The mining volume of this material so far is not very large, and this is the last copy I have here."
"In addition, its compression and recovery process is one-time. Once expanded, it cannot be compressed again, so remember to set the position... forget it, you tell me where to arrange it, I will use a drone to mark the point and position, and drop it directly. I really can't trust this group of furry ones, uh..."
Thinking that he still had to let the animal gods help later, Stark fruitlessly shut up. However, his eyes had been saying that except for him, absolutely no one could operate it correctly.
In fact, it was about the same. The technical Pamela and Bruce had no experience in using this miniature engineering equipment, and the others were on the magic side and wouldn't use this emerging engineering equipment, so it was finally decided that Stark would drop it.
After building two layers of defense, Bruce began to consider the attack. He said, "First of all, our melee cabbages must be placed against the skeletons. Their fists are very effective against these bone frames."
"I will mark five drop points first, surrounding the entire front yard garden, and place 20 ordinary cabbages at each drop point."
"But their role is not to directly defeat the skeletons, but to drive them to the center through attacks, and then drop the fighter cabbages, striving to wipe them out at the same time."
"The defense of the zombies in the rear is too strong. I'm afraid the cabbages can't effectively break the defense, even if it is explosive wheat, it must be detonated at close range to have a chance to destroy their defense."
"After we clear all the skeletons at once, the zombies will definitely enter immediately, but the range of the garden is too large. If they are allowed to disperse, it will be very difficult to handle. So we must narrow the front door first, and detonating bombs there is the choice with the highest return."
"Perhaps we can put some vines there." Lucifer tilted his head and looked at the map and said, "Looking at the width, it should be enough to narrow it by about four meters."
"But the climbing frame is one-time expanded." Stark emphasized again, "For stability, the frame will definitely be nailed into the ground, and there is no way to move it. Even if it can be moved, the density of this material is very large, the weight is very heavy, and it is difficult to move by ordinary methods."
"And there is only one frame, and there is no way to block the intersections on both sides at the same time. If it is blocked crookedly, whether the explosives in the pond or the cemetery can play the same role is unknown."
Bruce thought for a moment and said, "If there is a mold, perhaps we can use the freezing ability of ice-cold wheat to create two ice walls..."
Hearing this, Schiller's gaze slowly fell on the red cloak behind Strange.
The red cloak seemed to have noticed something, hid in horror, and pulled Strange to run.
The group of people present saw its flexible movements, and their eyes lit up immediately. The style of this cloak was very Disney!
The cloak found that it had nowhere to hide, and fell down somewhat decadently, with two corners twisted together, looking very tangled.
At this time, the portal from the heavenly realm of the animal gods suddenly lit up, and the second batch of animal friends arrived. Their journey was relatively long, so they were relatively slow.
The Hippo Goddess stepped out first, folded her hands together, placed them on her chest, and shouted, "My God, has Disney developed to this point?! So many monsters, what if children are scared?!"
Stark and Strange looked at each other again. Clearly, this one's style was also very Disney.
After the Black Panther went over and simply told the Hippo Goddess what was going on, the Hippo Goddess let out another high-pitched shout, immediately leaned over and held the cloak in her hands, saying, "I certainly understand that it is too dangerous to let a piece of soft and thin fabric take on such a heavy task."
"But I believe that your naturally flexible body must have a moment to play a major role. I think now is that moment, isn't it? You have to protect the children here from the infringement of these monsters."
"By the way, how old are you this year? I remember I saw you at the previous Sorcerer Supreme's place. You must be three hundred years old, right? It just so happens that I have a foster daughter near the Baltic Sea. She is a local textile goddess and likes all kinds of fabrics the most. I think you are quite a match, why don't..."
The cloak flew out of the hall with a "whoosh," and its whole body radiated the momentum of battle, and even used the corners of the cloak to make a pose of a strong man showing his arm muscles like a human.
The Hippo Goddess immediately applauded for it. Strange covered his forehead a bit helplessly and said in a low voice, "Why don't I remember that I was like this when I was a child? Will children be fooled by this?"
"Don't say children, do you believe it? If Peter were here, his cheers would definitely break through the sky." Stark also sighed and said, "He would praise everything here, and the words would never be repeated. He is the kind of person who can absorb vitality from actors wearing doll suits to play cartoon characters."
Hearing this, Bruce was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Lucifer and said, "... Do you have a mobile phone?"
Half a minute later, two figures landed slowly in front of the hall door. Before walking in, Clark had already started to sigh.
"My God, can no one manage it? What's going on with those skeletons outside? How did their bone frames fall off? What if they trip others everywhere?"
"And those zombies, God, in case an astronomy enthusiast accidentally sees them with a telescope, they will definitely vomit their lunch. If they were in Metropolis, they would even be arrested by the police for affecting the appearance of the city!"
"What's going on with that group of little gnomes? Are they trying to destroy the land? My dad said that if you see gnomes in the farmland, you must give them a shovel hard... Is there a shovel here?"
Clark started looking left and right, wanting to find a handy tool to pat them back into the ground. And after Diana smoothed her hair, she looked at Bruce and said, "I thought you said we were going to play Plants vs. Zombies was just a metaphor. What is going on?"
But at this time, Pamela, who was still staring at the map, didn't know how, but her eyes gradually drifted to the beautiful Seeing Natasha on the side. Seeing Natasha noticed her gaze and showed an ambiguous smile to her.
Diana also immediately felt an extremely dangerous aura on the female agent, so she immediately stepped forward and looked coldly at Seeing Natasha, saying to Seeing Natasha, "Stay away from her." ===== CHAPTER 1989 =====
