Jiang Wan breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing this result.

It's good that it's not Cheng Wenshan; she always felt that this person was extremely abnormal.

However, Cheng Zhen's tightly furrowed brows did not relax. He felt that something was wrong. The most urgent task at hand was to eliminate the people on the distant mountain and break control over this group of Qin Yuan.

Cheng Zhen handed over the position to Yu Feng and the others, then led Jiang Wan and the twins down the city wall: "You guys hurry back to the car, I'm going to meet him."

Jiang Wan led the twins back a few steps, then suddenly stopped, turned around and called out to him, "I'll go with you."

Cheng Zhen disagreed vehemently: "Aren't you being ridiculous? This is extremely dangerous. What are you going to do with me?"

Jiang Wan, contrary to her usual aloof and indifferent attitude, walked closer to him and said earnestly and urgently, "No one and nothing can hurt me, not even these monsters, so you must take me with you, just in case."

Cheng Zhen naturally knew that she had a passive skill that made all damage posed no threat to him, but he still felt that it was safest for Jiang Wan and the children to stay at the base. There were unknown enemies and unknown dangers in the mountains, and he dared not and was unwilling to take her on an adventure.

Seeing his attitude, Jiang Wan could only say harshly, "If you don't take me with you, I'll find a way to go with you myself."

As she said this, Jiang Xiaoshu and Jiang Xiaoxin stood silently and firmly on either side of her, their little faces looking at her seriously, showing their support for their mother through their actions.

Jiang Xiaoshu has the ability to purify, so no one can stop him. Jiang Xiaoxin has the ability to sense plants, so no matter where he goes, she will always know.

Cheng Zhen wiped his face in utter frustration, and finally had no choice but to agree: "Okay, then you all stay close to me and be sure to protect yourselves!"

He agreed to let Jiang Wan go with him, without even asking where the twins were going. He figured it would be pointless to ask anyway, since she was going, how could the two little ones possibly agree to leave their mother?

Following Jiang Xiaoxin's sensory abilities, they went straight up a mountain and into the forest.

Cheng Zhen and Jiang Xiaoshu simultaneously activated their purification abilities, adding two layers of protection to their bodies.

The other party was clearly not expected that they would arrive so quickly. A slightly chubby man in a gray casual suit seemed quite surprised when they arrived. After all, Cheng Zhen had the ability to teleport. In just a few seconds, two adults and two children were standing in front of him.

Cheng Zhen was still quite shocked when he saw the person in front of him. After all, this person looked exactly like Cheng Wenshan. But he had just used the Time Gate to find this person, and he couldn't find him. Could it be that his superpower had a bug?

He asked warily, "Are you Cheng Wenshan?"

Cheng Wenshan seemed surprised as well, not expecting to meet them here. But he only paused for a moment before bursting into laughter: "We've met again. It seems we're destined to meet."

Cheng Zhen finally realized where that strange feeling he had just experienced came from—it was that powerful energy pressure that he had occasionally felt before when he was in Xiangcheng.

Looking back now, this powerful and strange energy came from Cheng Wenshan. This person should have been dead, but he was standing in front of him unharmed!

Cheng Zhen looked him up and down, and couldn't help but ask, "You're also a superhuman, what exactly is your superhuman ability?"

Wu Xiuzhu and Qi Ming had previously said that his special ability was growing vegetables, but now it seems like utter nonsense. If it was just growing vegetables, could he have come back to life? Impossible!

Cheng Wenshan smiled slightly and shrugged: "I don't think that's important. The most urgent thing is that we should cooperate for mutual benefit."

Cheng Zhen smiled enigmatically. "Cooperation and win-win? Are you trying to coerce us with this endless supply of Qin Yuan?"

He cocked the gun in his hand as he spoke.

Cheng Wenshan's gaze fell on the gun in his hand, and then he said, "Calm down, brother. We are not enemies. This is an apocalyptic world with oxygen shortage. We all have only one goal: to survive."

Undeniably, he is right.

Cheng Zhen pointed the gun at him and said, "That's true, so why are you controlling these Qin Yuan soldiers to attack us?"

Cheng Wenshan's gaze swept over the Vermilion City at the foot of the mountain, and he asked in surprise, "Are you now the city lord of Vermilion City?"

"No," Cheng Zhen denied. He was acutely aware that Cheng Wenshan was after Zhu Shacheng. "What grudge do you have against Zhu Shacheng?"

Cheng Wenshan fell silent. He was well aware of the difference in strength between himself and Cheng Zhen. After considering it for a moment, he finally said, "The largest arsenal in the Southwest Military Region is located in Zhusha City. We need weapons to survive well in the oxygen-deficient apocalypse."

Cheng Zhen found it strange: "You're willing to kill everyone just for this one reason?"

He felt this reason was very far-fetched. This was not a survival game. In an oxygen-deficient apocalypse, surviving did not mean that a person survived to the end.

Therefore, his attack on Vermilion City, aimed at killing everyone, must have had other motives.

This man was clearly dishonest, and Cheng Zhen, too lazy to waste words with him, simply fired a shot at his feet.

“I don’t care how you summoned these monsters, get rid of them now, immediately, right now. I’m giving you one minute to do it.”

Cheng Wenshan looked at him as if he were a fool: "Why don't we cooperate and achieve a win-win situation? If we take over the arsenal in Zhusha City, we will have enough weapons, and we can live well in this oxygen-deficient apocalypse."

Cheng Zhen stared intently at him with sharp eyes: "We do need to survive well in this oxygen-deficient apocalypse, but we don't need to rely on external forces like monsters, nor do we need to sacrifice innocent companions as stepping stones for us!"

Cheng Wenshan, I don't care what your purpose is, now, immediately. Do as I say.

As he spoke, he slowly pointed the dark muzzle of the gun directly at his forehead.

Cheng Wenshan never expected to be so unlucky. He had just refreshed the system and made his move when he encountered such a powerful person again!

He stared at the dark muzzle of Cheng Zhen's gun, with no doubt that if he hadn't made a move by the time the time was up, Cheng Zhen would shoot him without hesitation, just like he had killed him last time.

He didn't want to experience death again. Although he had a system that allowed him to replay the experience indefinitely, every death was a real and tangible experience!

That feeling was unpleasant, and he didn't want to experience it again unless absolutely necessary.

Under Cheng Zhen's gaze, he produced a card, wrote something on it, and soon the vast, sky-covering Qinyuan disappeared.
