At present, back at Enoch’s Divine Tree Island…
Enoch’s brows were tightly furrowed as the situation that he had envisioned had never come to fruition. He couldn’t hear anything else besides his and the Berserk Rats’ rapid breathing sounds.
It was so quiet that it was a little terrifying. Even Enoch felt that something was wrong!
What was going on?
Everything that he had envisioned had yet to happen. What was going on during all this time then? Had the other party given up, or were they still preparing?
Enoch did not need to think further to know that the answer was definitely the latter. If they had given up, the invasion would have ended long ago.
The Divine Tree Realm should have given him a hint, but none of this had happened.
This proved that this was not the end.
The longer this dragged on, the more he realized that his fighting spirit was severely depleted.
Not just him, but the little ones as well.
Enoch could now clearly feel their fear of the unknown. Although the little fellows could not express their thoughts, he could clearly feel their emotions.
The emotions were like fermented beer, bubbling and bursting at the last moment of contact with the air.
Once something dangerous appeared now, their tensed emotions would immediately collapse. This was not a good thing, but Enoch had no way to improve their psyche now.
Enoch looked at Lightning and said, “Hold on for a while. When the wave ends, we can have a good rest.”
“Squeak squeak!” (Cheer up!)
Although Lightning was very nervous, it was still trying to encourage the Berserk Rats.
Enoch felt like he was like a cage of trapped beasts. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn’t solve the problem before he evaluated the threat level.
He looked at the time and saw that another ten minutes had passed.
In other words, 60 minutes had passed since the third wave.
During this hour, no zombies had appeared.
However, Enoch had made a lot of preparations during this time.
Since the Diggers could appear behind him, it proved that the loss of the terrain was negligible. Therefore, he had changed the Berserk Rats’ battle formation from being scattered to one of encirclement.
In other words, Enoch was in the middle of the Divine Tree Island while the Berserk Rats surrounded him, waiting for his orders.
Then, he bought traps and other items that could be used in time from the trading platform. Of course, the price was his Intermediate Energy Fruit.
Almost all the Divine Tree Masters had cleared their respective third wave, and many of them still had items that they had not used during the invasion.
The Bomb Fruit was the most troublesome item in the Divine Tree Masters’ eyes. Although it was very powerful, it would leave a scorched deep pit in the Divine Tree Island after exploding, where no plants would be able to grow for some time. Thus, most Divine Tree Masters planned to exchange it after using it once.
Even if they used it, the Bomb Fruit would make a loud noise, and killing one zombie would attract the other zombies.
It could be said that it was a useless prop.
Because of this, Enoch bought these Bomb Fruits at a very low price. He only needed 1 Intermediate Energy Fruit to buy 10 Bomb Fruits.
In addition, Enoch also bought other seemingly imperfect fruits, such as the Vine Fruit. It could immediately grow vines to stop zombies, but the modified fruit could grow crazily and steal nutrients from other plants. It was a double-edged sword for a Divine Tree Master.
There were also the Stone Fruits. These fruits would immediately grow, but they occupied a lot of space in the Divine Tree Island.
If the Stone Fruits were placed in one place, they would grow bigger and bigger over time. In the end, they could even become bigger than the entire Divine Tree Island. Most importantly, they didn’t have any offensive abilities at all. They caused trouble in the Divine Tree Island instead.
Enoch had planted these fruits in the outermost area. The Vine Fruits were at the front, and the Stone Fruits were at the back.
This could turn the Divine Tree Island into a space that could be used for both offense and defense. Of course, the price was very high.
That was, they would take up a lot of the nutrients of the other plants in the Divine Tree Island during this period.
Enoch and the Berserk Rats were ready to attack the zombie army at any time. If a single zombie barged in, they could attack together.
The last resort was the Bomb Fruit. Once it was thrown out, it would cause damage to the ground.
It could be said that with this combination, even if they killed 1,000 enemies, Enoch himself would lose 800.
However, there was nothing he could do. If he didn’t do it now… even the Divine Tree Island would disappear. There would be no future.
Therefore, no matter how great the cost of this battle was, he had to persevere. If there was no future development, what would he do?
Enoch had taken all these decisions after careful consideration.
He could accept that his Divine Tree Island’s soil resources and area of use would be reduced. He could not lose the Berserk Rats and the Divine Tree.
Once they were killed, Enoch would not even be able to start from scratch. Starting from scratch would also require a huge amount of time and energy.
Since the result was the same, it was better not to sacrifice anything and maintain the status quo. It would be easier to plan!
The mental struggle had lasted for nearly a minute. During this long minute, he had considered many things until he made such a decision.
Now it seemed that Enoch’s thinking process wasn’t wrong.
At least, it seemed that his decision wasn’t wrong!
At the same time, in the Netherworld…
The third wave of zombies had already reached 300. Other than the ordinary zombies, there were also many Diggers and Talons.
They surrounded the Commander. The zombies’ eyes were filled with killing intent as they waited for the Commander’s order.
At that moment, three zombies covered in mud appeared before the Commander.
No one was in the black fog. They would see a black teleportation array under Enoch’s Divine Tree Island if they were there.
This array was a special teleportation array for zombies to invade. They could enter the Divine Tree Island from there, and it could meet the needs of many special zombies.
For example, when zombies like the Diggers entered the black teleportation formation, they could enter the Divine Tree Island from the ground.
This was also the reason why Enoch hadn’t sensed the Diggers’ existence.
Since the three Diggers walked out of the black teleportation formation without being attacked, it proved that the Commander’s plan had been completed!
