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 ...
Dai Shiyu himself was no match for Cheng Zhen, but he had brought so many subordinates, all of whom were powerful superhumans, so he was very confident in dealing with Cheng Zhen.
His gaze was fixed on Jiang Wan; she was like a mobile warehouse!
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became!
As the saying goes, "An army marches on its stomach," meaning logistical support is crucial. The reason they dared not expand outwards from Zhusha City was largely because they were afraid of stretching the battle lines too far and running out of supplies.
If they had possessed such a mobile warehouse earlier, he believed that Lord Zhang would have already ordered the capture of Xiangcheng!
Why would we need to make deals with Xiangcheng like we do now, and tolerate Xiangcheng standing shoulder to shoulder with Zhushacheng?
However, what he expected—that his men would pin Cheng Zhen down—did not happen. In reality, Cheng Zhen single-handedly took on his entire team of men and completely subdued them!
Seeing that things were going badly, Dai Shiyu made a move in an instant, hoping to take Jiang Wan hostage. She only had a spatial ability, which was essentially just a mobile warehouse, and he didn't take her seriously at all.
However, reality taught him a harsh lesson for his underestimation of his opponent.
When a vine whip wrapped with a knife struck his face, he was stunned for a moment before barely managing to dodge the dangerous blow.
"groove!"
Damn it, I was careless!
I thought it was a plump little white rabbit, but it turned out to be a cat in rabbit skin?
After Jiang Wan drew her rattan whip and repelled his attack, Cheng Zhen took over the battlefield. Then, in front of everyone, she walked to the sacks in their ranks, and without saying a word, she collected them all.
"groove!"
"What the hell are you doing!"
"Put it down right now!"
Dai Shiyu and his men were all stunned, then bewildered!
The supplies they worked so hard to obtain!
She just kidnapped him halfway through the journey?
Damn it, at least leave them some!
Jiang Wan strolled outside and saw a supply truck parked on the street. It was there to pick up Dai Shiyu and the others. Before the driver could get out, she deftly opened the door, got into the back of the truck, and quietly emptied the truck completely.
Not only Dai Shiyu and the others, but even Cheng Zhen was surprised. This woman is ruthless!
Jiang Wan nimbly jumped out of the car, whipped away the driver who tried to grab her, and then coldly asserted her ownership: "This is our property."
So no one else can take even a single bit!
Dai Shiyu was pinned to the ground by Cheng Zhen. He was shocked and furious. He never expected that Cheng Zhen would become so powerful after the oxygen-deprived apocalypse. He also never expected that this seemingly gentle and weak woman would be so petty and ruthless!
He roared, "This was granted by your Lord Bi, this is something he gave to Vermilion City!"
Cheng Zhen flicked his cheek with her finger: "Dai, did you know anything about the situation in Xiangcheng before you came here?"
"Lord Bi is no longer the top official in Xiangcheng! His words don't count!"
Dai Shiyu had indeed heard about the situation in Xiangcheng before, but he hadn't taken it seriously. Now it seemed that Cheng Zhen and the others were actually on the opposite side of City Lord Bi.
His gaze darkened. So, would Lord Zhang's scheme still go smoothly?
Cheng Zhen tied them up and threw them onto the supply truck. Then he started the truck and drove off without a driver, saying, "Let's go. Contact your remaining brothers in Xiashan Town as soon as possible. There are a lot of mutated plants outside the city. If they are slow, you'll be eaten by them!"
Dai Shiyu didn't care about supplies anymore and quickly called the rest of the team to pack up. He managed to rescue them all just before the car lurched and crashed out of Xiashan Town.
They were all superhumans, yet they suffered such a huge loss at Cheng Zhen's hands, ultimately receiving only a meager amount of supplies that weren't even enough to fill a tooth gap!
Dai Shiyu held Cheng Zhen accountable for this!
Wait!
He's about to teach that guy surnamed Cheng a lesson!
And that humanoid warehouse—he narrowed his eyes, a determined glint in them!
After Jiang Wan and Cheng Zhen drove away Dai Shiyu and the others, they immediately continued to gather the remaining supplies in Xiashan Town. They put everything into the tree hole space, regardless of whether it was good or bad, useful or useless!
The two quickened their pace and finally swept away all the supplies before nightfall.
To be honest, Jiang Wan was so exhausted she was about to collapse. Having possessed superpowers for so long, she had truly experienced what it felt like to overuse them.
I was so tired, with a headache and a throbbing in my head. It felt like my soul was being torn apart, and I felt like my whole being was about to split apart.
After finishing at the last fruit shop, she lost her balance and collapsed. Fortunately, Cheng Zhen was right next to her and caught her quickly, then took her back to the office building of Xiashan Town Middle School.
The building's iron gates were deformed and teetering on the brink of collapse, as if the zombies were about to break through at any moment.
When Cheng Zhen and the others returned, Song Hui and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boss, can we remove this protective shield?" Yu Fen used a light shockwave to repel a wave of zombies, then said with a mournful face, "I really can't hold on much longer!"
During the day, in order to avoid overusing their superpowers, they all used wooden pipes to poke at the zombies!
The blood splattered all around, and the rotting flesh flew everywhere, making them feel utterly disgusted!
Now that iron gate is just a pile of mangled flesh!
The stench was unbearable!
Luckily it's winter, otherwise they would have been scared to death or bitten to death by the zombies, or suffocated by the rotting corpses!
Cheng Zhen put Jiang Wan down, then said to Song Hui, "You build the city's protective shield, we'll leave tomorrow."
Their powers haven't fully recovered yet, and they need to rest for another night.
Song Hui agreed. They were only staying here temporarily for one night, so they didn't need a large or powerful protective shield. A small one that could cover the office building and ensure they had enough oxygen to breathe would suffice.
Yu Fen excitedly volunteered to break the original protective shield.
The moment the protective shield shattered, a stench filled everyone's nostrils, and the zombies, like puppets with their strings cut, drifted away.
Jiang Wan was already feeling dizzy and unwell, and she couldn't hold it in any longer and vomited profusely.
Cheng Zhen stroked her back, bringing her tea and water, taking good care of her. After she recovered, he let her lie down on the quilt and asked, "Is there anything you want to eat? I'll cook dinner tonight."
Jiang Wan shook her head listlessly with her eyes closed: "Whatever."
"Okay! You wait here!" Cheng Zhen replied, tucked her in, told Yu Fen to watch over her, and then went off to cook.
The onlookers were dumbfounded: "Is this the fierce-looking Captain Cheng?"
Am I the only one whose eyes are playing tricks on me?
"Isn't 'casualness' a global problem? What is he doing?"
Only Yu Fen had a mysterious look on his face. Yes, this was their boss!
With the danger over, Old Chen received a shameless order back in the camp.
