As Cheng Zhen listened, his face grew darker and darker, his gaze sharp as he stared at the list in Yu Fen's hand.

Yu Fen, his colleague and friend of many years, knew that this expression on his face meant he was angry.

He patted his best friend on the shoulder and said, "You guessed it too? Someone is secretly hunting down botanists!"

"So, don't just get angry. We need to find them quickly and protect them!"

Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Zhen strode out of the car and climbed into the driver's seat, his cool and arrogant voice floating in the air: "You have to say it."

"Location? Lead the way, hurry up!"

Guoya Community is far more chaotic than Yincheng Yazuo. The old-style reinforced concrete buildings were mostly destroyed by the mutated plants that suddenly appeared at the beginning of the apocalypse. Many residents have moved to communities with oxygen storage rooms.

Most of them didn't buy oxygen storage rooms; they were able to move in mainly because of their stubbornness and resilience.

Jiang Wan couldn't bear to tell the twins that their good friend Xiao Xuanxuan might have moved away long ago and no longer lived here.

So even though she slowed down and drove slowly, she had no intention of getting out of the car.

She had a gut feeling that getting out of the car would be dangerous.

The two children kept in touch with their good friend Xiao Xuanxuan, but the signal was intermittent and Xiao Xuanxuan's voice was sometimes out of reach, making it impossible for them to give directions properly.

The mother wouldn't let them get out of the car to look for the person, and since they couldn't see anything while sitting inside, they simply climbed onto the bunk in the driver's seat. There was a small protruding roof window there, and as long as the outer protective cover was opened, it was the highest point of view inside the car, making it very convenient to find the person.

The two little ones pressed themselves against the rooftop window, analyzing and discussing the people and things outside, trying to figure out where their best friend, Xiao Xuanxuan, actually lived.

Could it be here?

"It doesn't look like it!"

"Hey, is this the place?"

Of course, it was Jiang Xiaoxin talking to herself while "analyzing".

But suddenly, she paused, then asked innocently, "Brother, why do all these people act like they're drunk?"

Annoyed by the questions, Jiang Xiaoshu, usually calm, only answered one of her five questions: "And what do you know about being drunk?"

"I know!" Jiang Xiaoxin nodded with absolute certainty. "Didn't Grandpa look like this when he was drunk before? He walked unsteadily, staggering from side to side, and his whole body was as red as a boiled shrimp!"

Then she pulled her brother to look outside: "Look, look, doesn't it look just like it?"

After saying that, she exclaimed in surprise, "Look! They even hit people... no, they fought! Last time Grandpa got drunk, he was just like that, threatening to hit Mom and us!"

"Brother, brother, don't you remember? I'm telling the truth!"

Jiang Xiaoshu twitched the corner of her mouth: "You have a really good memory."

What was said without malice may have been taken to heart by the listener.

Jiang Wan sensed something was off as soon as she arrived, so she didn't dare get out of the car. But after hearing Jiang Xiaoxin's analysis, she suddenly realized, "Yes, these people all seem drunk. Isn't that too strange?"

If it were just one or two people who got drunk, that would be understandable, but it's really strange that groups of people on the whole street or in the whole neighborhood are like that!

Besides, in this apocalyptic world, everyone is too busy trying to survive to have so many people drinking together.

Drinking is one thing, but they all got drunk?

Jiang Wan slowly pulled the car over to the side of the road and called out, "Xin Xin, can you still talk to Xiao Xuanxuan?"

Jiang Xiaoxin shook her head in frustration: "Waaah... I can't hear him anymore."

She was terrified. What if... something had happened to Xiao Xuanxuan...?

She instantly slumped down on the RV bed, looking utterly dejected.

Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her palm and cried out, "Ouch!"

Jiang Xiaoshu was closest to her and immediately asked, "What's wrong with Xin Xin?" As he spoke, he was about to use his purification ability on her.

Jiang Xiaoxin grabbed his hand and shook her head violently: "No, no, brother, mom, I heard a monster's voice!"

Excitedly, she scrambled down the escalator, shouting, "There's a monster here! Mommy, Xuanxuan and the others must have encountered this monster! If we find it and capture it, Xuanxuan and the others will be saved!"

The little girl looked excited and eager to try.

Jiang Wan couldn't help but feel a slight throbbing in her forehead veins. Collecting monsters? Did they think she was Fahai?

She only has a tree hole space; she doesn't have the ability to capture demons!

Her gaze fell on Jiang Xiaoshu, and she sighed. She had to admit that the superpowers of the three of them were all very passive, with no active attack skills at all!

Tsk!

But she had just been accused by the twins of being a bad quality for not helping someone in distress, so she didn't say anything discouraging. Instead, she tried to distract them: "Do you know what kind of monster this is? Do you know where it is?"

Jiang Xiaoxin sensed it very carefully and then her eyes widened in terror. She screamed in her little voice, "Mommy, it's coming towards us! Ah, it's already in front of our car!"

As soon as she screamed, the car fell silent because someone was knocking on the RV door from the outside.

"Knock knock knock," three knocks were made in quick succession, then knocked again after a while, but no one spoke.

As Jiang Wan watched the drunk people approaching the car, he roughly guessed that these people had a problem and were related to the mutated plants!

She quickly started the car and reversed, intending to turn around and leave.

Inside the car following them at a distance, Cao Jin's subordinates stammered in panic: "Boss, these people... have they mutated? Boss, there are mutated plants here, what, what do we do..."

"If you can't speak properly, then don't speak!"

Cao Jin could tell that there was something wrong with these people; there must be some kind of mutated plant hiding here. He was already restless and uneasy, and this person's stuttering made him even more irritable and uncomfortable. So he slapped him on the head and shouted, "Shut up!"

Another person asked, "That woman is surrounded, should we help her?"

Cao Jin snorted and slowly laughed: "Help what? I don't even have to lift a finger, isn't that great?"

"You all better stay put in the car!"

The city guards' vehicles were all designed with oxygen storage, so there was plenty of oxygen inside and the poisonous gas outside couldn't get in. Of course, they wouldn't get out of the vehicles. So, the men huddled inside the vehicles by the roadside, waiting to see what would happen.

"Hey, she didn't get off the bus, she's trying to run away!"

Cao Jin snapped impatiently, "Shut up! Play it by ear!"

After Jiang Wan finished backing up the car, she couldn't help but panic. There were many people blocking the way in front of the car, and she couldn't drive out!

They didn't attack, they just blocked the way, so Jiang Xiaoshu's purification ability was useless!

She gritted her teeth, preparing to accelerate and run them over. If she dragged them any longer, they might smash the car! Then they'd be finished!

Jiang Xiaoxin suddenly screamed, "Mommy! Mommy! It's Xiaoxuan! And the uncles and aunties too!"
