In an apocalyptic world of oxygen scarcity, mutated plants, and the collapse of human civilization, whether human or plant, the only goal is to survive.
In her past life, the apocalypse came ...
Wu Xuan's sudden appearance caught Jiang Wan off guard and really startled her.
"What danger have you encountered? Stand up and speak."
Jiang Wan is indeed aloof and gives the first impression of being high and mighty, like a queen. If you don't like her, you'll definitely think she's arrogant.
But she actually has a very soft spot in her heart. For example, when she is dealing with human cubs, she will unconsciously soften.
This can be seen from the fact that she rarely scolds or beats the twins.
Perhaps because of her own unhappy childhood, she subconsciously did not want to inflict that misfortune on other children.
Wu Xuan could clearly sense her goodwill, so he stood up and said in a low but quick voice, "My parents are here!"
"??" Jiang Wan.
His parents were indeed not good people, but weren't they just ordinary citizens? How did they suddenly end up in the outer city camp? And even forced Wu Xuan to cry for help?
Wu Xuan quickly looked up at her and saw that she was calm and not impatient, so he continued, "They had been looking for me for a while and kept sending me messages asking about things in the camp."
"I felt something was off about them, so I stopped replying. Later, when I ran out of phone credit, I simply turned off my phone..."
As he spoke, he took out an old-fashioned phone from his pocket, which had been obsolete for over a decade, and showed it to her. Inside were the secrets the Wu couple had extracted from the military camp.
Jiang Wan took the phone, and as soon as she turned it on, unread messages started popping up. Wu Xuan's expression changed drastically: "I'm out of credit..."
He hasn't topped up his phone credit since!
Jiang Wan raised an eyebrow. Good heavens, have these two become spies for the enemy?
Knowing that her own son was here, she still specifically targeted him. Doesn't she care about her own son's life or death?
No wonder Wu Xuan came to her for help.
She glanced at a few messages, then put her phone away and said, "You should go find Battalion Commander Chen or Cheng Zhen. I don't care about things in the camp."
Wu Xuan lowered his head and whispered, "...I don't want to die."
If it is ultimately determined that his parents are spies from the enemy camp, even if he is not killed, he cannot stay in the camp any longer.
Driven out, in the oxygen-deprived apocalypse, he was a 6-year-old child with only one path: death.
Jiang Wan remained noncommittal. Although she was naturally much gentler with children, she did not trust him unconditionally, especially when it came to matters concerning the safety of the camp. She had to leave the decision to Battalion Commander Chen.
She took out her phone and texted Cheng Zhen: "Where are you? I need to talk to you."
He's been very busy lately and rarely stays in the camp. She and the children's safety have been entrusted to his subordinates.
She thought she would have to wait at least a while, so she decided to go check on the infected area. She wondered how those people were doing after they had consumed her diluted tree sap.
Coincidentally, Xu Xiaoling and Lian Jiaojiao were also there, fully armed in protective suits, standing outside the infected area, pointing and gesturing with barely concealed surprise.
They were a bit far away, so I couldn't hear what they were saying.
When Wu Xuan appeared behind Jiang Wan, Xu Xiaoling immediately ran over and excitedly pulled Wu Xuan, "Come here, tell me quickly, what did you feed them? How did they suddenly get better?"
All healed?
Jiang Wan raised an eyebrow in surprise, then took two steps closer and turned the corner to look inside the infected area.
The infected, who had been completely unconscious, were now mostly awake, and many were already walking around outside.
Upon seeing them, they all showed expressions of shame and did not come out. They probably knew that they had been infected and had hurt their own brothers when they went berserk, so no one made a fuss while they were locked up.
Some people were starting a fire to boil water, while others were taking advantage of the good sunshine to take out their bedding and air it out.
Previously, some severely infected individuals who were lying in the open have now been moved indoors in an orderly manner, and they are all actively keeping warm.
Jiang Wan looked around and nodded secretly, quite satisfied.
It took two days for this effect to appear, so no one would suspect her anymore.
"Why are you nodding? Do you know they'll recover?" Xu Xiaoling suddenly rushed over and questioned in a shrill voice.
Wu Xuan knew nothing when asked. She was already inclined to suspect Jiang Wan, so she had been paying close attention to her every move since she appeared.
Jiang Wan suddenly turned around, her cold eyes fixed on her, and asked coolly, "Didn't Dr. Xu ever think that they would recover one day?"
Forehead……
Xu Xiaoling choked immediately; of course, she hadn't thought of that.
Jiang Wan wouldn't back down an inch: "You never intended to cure them, so what are you doing here?"
Xu Xiaoling's gaze changed slightly, and she opened her mouth to argue, but Jiang Wan did not give her a chance to speak.
"As a doctor, you don't want to treat patients? Do you want to kill someone? Or are you not a doctor at all?"
Whether he is a doctor or not, everyone knows the answer.
Xu Xiaoling's face instantly turned bright red, her eyes seeming to spit fire: "Why are you so agitated? I only asked you out of curiosity. They suddenly got better, don't you find that strange? What if they were just trying to fool us, to lull us into a false sense of security, and then attack us again?"
Fortunately, the protective suit covered her face, so Jiang Wan couldn't see her bright red face; otherwise, it would have been an eyesore.
But the way she jumped up and down didn't look good either.
Jiang Wan turned and left immediately, then waved to Wu Xuan and said, "You're just a medicine apprentice, not good at treating illnesses, so don't cause trouble here. What if it's really like she said, those people are just pretending to get better to deceive us and prepare to attack us?"
"Let's go. Let's leave the patient's condition to the doctors; they are the professionals."
After saying that, she explained how she brought Wu Xuan here and how she led Wu Xuan away.
Xu Xiaoling was furious. This was a trap deliberately set for her and to harm them!
She turned around abruptly to look at Lian Jiaojiao. That was the real heiress; she wasn't going to stay obediently here!
Lian Jiaojiao really wanted to run away. Just kidding, she wasn't a doctor. Her brother insisted that she impersonate a doctor to come over. She didn't know how to treat illnesses. What if these people were just pretending? If a riot broke out, she would definitely be a hostage!
So as soon as Jiang Wan left, she also slipped away.
But after taking only two steps, they were stopped by the superhuman guarding the infected area: "The battalion commander's orders are that the two doctors must do their utmost to cure them."
The implication is clear: if you can't cure them, no one is allowed to leave!
Wu Xuan followed Jiang Wan away. Turning his head, he saw his parents standing in the corner and instinctively took two steps closer to Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan noticed, turned around and recognized the person, raised an eyebrow slightly, and asked, "Who brought them in?"
Wu Xuan pointed behind him: "It's Dr. Xu."
Jiang Wan then said to Yu Fen, who was following her, "Then send them over. Since they are helpers, let them all stay together!"
