In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

Chapter 491 The Abducted Little Princess

The FSB Metropolitan Branch is still bustling with activity today.

As the largest independent city in the Federation, this megacity with a population of billions experiences various public security incidents almost every moment.

Adhering to the code of conduct of "maintaining federal social stability and protecting the personal safety of citizens", the Metropolitan Branch has always ensured the normal operation of all urban areas in the metropolis.

One by one, security agents were dispatched to the places where they were needed to perform their duties.

Security Bureau police cars drove on the streets, weaving through the concrete jungle of high-rise buildings.

Just earlier, the Metropolitan Branch welcomed a guest from the General Administration's Law Enforcement Special Section, forcing the busy Chief Kronos to take time out to receive the law enforcement officer who had just returned from the war zone.

The notorious Fallen Paradise cadre Nightmare was successfully arrested, which is great news.

Kronos could hardly hide his excitement as he kept fiddling with the exquisite pocket watch he carried with him.

Ever since this dedicated time-stopping apple plant spirit took charge of the Metropolitan Branch, he has never given up fighting against federal crimes.

Now that he knew that the conspiracy to destroy heaven had been thwarted once again, he felt sincerely happy about it.

"Then according to regulations, the interrogation and subsequent sentencing of Nightmare Xixia will be handled by the Metropolitan Branch. Director Kronos, do you have any objections?"

"No, no, Law Enforcement Officer Chiyuan, we will handle this matter as soon as possible and seek justice for all the people of the Federation who have been harmed by the Fallen Heaven."

Although he was much older and had more experience than Kronos, he did not act like a superior in front of the young and promising Chi Yuan.

Firstly, he is not that kind of person. Secondly, as a veteran of the Security Bureau, Kronos is very pleased that the Security Bureau has a rising star like the Law Enforcement Special Branch.

The conversation between the two was very pleasant, and the issue of Nightmare's placement was thus settled.

The Kronos branch chief even had the leisure to recommend to Law Enforcement Officer Chiyuan some good restaurants in the metropolis.

But just as Chi Yuan had arranged his affairs and was about to say goodbye and return to the war zone, a pale-faced operator suddenly broke into the director's office.

"They didn't even knock on the door. There's no etiquette at all."

Kronos frowned, looking dissatisfied.

But when he saw his subordinate gasping for breath, he chose to soothe him, saying, "Slow down first, then talk."

"Director K... Kronos, something...something big has happened!"

It was obvious that the seriousness of the matter had made the operator somewhat inarticulate.

Kronos and Chi Yuan looked at each other, their hearts skipped a beat at the same time, and they had a bad premonition.

······

A plant spirit girl with an anxious look on her face had been waiting in the reception room for a long time.

She crossed her hands and walked back and forth, looking very nervous and frightened.

The girl wore a thick ski hat and a pair of wear-resistant snow boots.

The sky blue windbreaker was still covered with a thin layer of white frost.

Through the goggles, you can clearly see a pair of bright ice-blue eyes.

But now, those eyes have lost their former liveliness, and are replaced by uncontrollable panic.

When she saw Chi Yuan and Kronos coming, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had found her backbone, and she quickly ran to the two of them.

Before the two could speak, the girl threw herself into Chi Yuan's arms and said with a sad face:

"Law Officer Chiyuan! I...I want to report a crime!"

While Chi Yuan hugged the girl, he looked at Kronos again and saw shock on each other's faces.

The reason is simple, because the girl who came to report the case is not only a frozen lettuce plant spirit with eighth-level plant spirit power, but also an A-level plant spirit hero.

Cathy, the "Frozen Pioneer", is a speedster girl who can manipulate ice and snow and loves to experience all kinds of extreme sports.

She is also quite famous in the Plant Spirit Hero Association.

As the most outstanding law enforcement officer of the Federal Law Enforcement Special Branch, Chi Yuan has dealt with many plant spirit heroes.

Cathy, codenamed Frozen Pioneer, is naturally among them, and she has a good relationship with Chi Yuan.

But now, Cathy actually appeared in the Metropolitan Police Department, as a "reporter".

Kronos and Chi Yuan also wanted to know what had happened to cause this plant spirit hero to lose his composure like this.

"Sir Frost Vanguard, what exactly happened?"

Kronos closed the door of the reception room and then asked carefully.

It would have been fine if she hadn't asked, but as soon as she did, Cathy's emotions collapsed in an instant.

She couldn't stop sobbing, tears streaming down her face like a flood: "My...my target...was...kidnapped!"

"Protecting the target?"

Chi Yuan grasped the key words in Cathy's words and his tone became serious.

Generally speaking, the targets that plant spirit heroes are responsible for protecting are either strategic figures of the federation or members of powerful families.

If anything happens to either of these two, it will cause a huge shock.

"I... I just couldn't resist the child's pleading and decided to bring her out to play secretly. As a result, in just a blink of an eye..."

At this moment, Cathy's mind was in a mess and even her speech became incoherent.

Chi Yuan stretched out his hands and pressed Cathy's shoulders, trying to keep her calm.

But at this moment, Kronos interrupted at an inopportune moment:

"Let me ask you, Sir Frost Vanguard, who are you protecting?"

As soon as these words came out, the plant spiritual power in Cathy's body burst out directly, wrapping herself in ice.

Those who are familiar with Freeze Vanguard know that this child will only do this when he is too introverted.

Chi Yuan's face changed, and he immediately activated his spiritual power to melt the ice, revealing Cathy's pitiful little face.

After a long silence, she spoke tremblingly, "The person I am responsible for protecting is the little princess of the Bingxue family."

······

The Ice and Snow Family, looking at the entire modern world, can be regarded as an ancient and prominent aristocratic family.

They are like an aurora star that never melts, always hanging high above the sky of the Federation.

The Ice and Snow Family consists of only females, and is composed of noble and elegant mistletoe ice fairy plant spirits.

They possess innate ice-attribute spiritual power, and with the race's unique "winter spell", they can manipulate ice and cold for their own use at will.

Each Xieji Ice Fairy plant spirit is equivalent to a magic turret that can achieve precise guidance.

The extremely cold ball that falls from the sky, ignoring all obstacles and defenses, is the nightmare of many imperial soldiers.

In addition, members of the Ice and Snow Family are also quite accomplished in the fields of culture and art.

They are not only ageless beauties, but also talented ice sculpture artists and reciting poets.

Therefore, the Ice and Snow Family, who possess both beauty and strength, cannot be said to have a low status in the Federation. It can only be said that there are not many who are higher than them.

Now, the most beloved person in the Ice and Snow Family is the little Ice and Snow Princess, who is only four years old and can cast the severe winter spell independently.

She is the only daughter of the current head of the Bingxue family, and is regarded as a treasure by all the elders who need to be carefully cared for.

But now, the little Princess Ice and Snow, who holds such a noble status, has been abducted by a group of plant spirit dealers whose background is unknown.

It is hard to imagine how terrible the impact would be if this news spread.

Given the size of the Ice and Snow Family, I'm afraid the entire modern world will be greatly shaken by this.

Through Cathy's narration, Kronos and Chi Yuan gradually understood the whole story.

She was recently hired by the Ice and Snow Family to protect their little princess who was visiting the metropolis.

Dissatisfied with her family's excessive restrictions on her, the little princess asked Cathy to take her out for a private outing.

The soft-hearted Cathy couldn't refuse the little princess who was acting coquettishly towards her, and finally agreed to take her away from the space-time hotel where she was staying.

But not long after, they were attacked by a group of villains in a premeditated attack, and the little princess was forcibly abducted by the enemy on her way back.

Cathy, who was alone, failed to successfully win the little princess back. In desperation, she was so ashamed that she had to ask the Security Bureau for help.

"Please! You must rescue the little princess! This is my only request in this life!"

"I understand, Cathy, we will definitely help you."

Chi Yuan said this very seriously, and Kronos beside him nodded in agreement.

Before long, shrill alarms rang throughout the Metropolitan Police Station, and an unprecedented rescue operation was about to begin.
