A moment later, a figure leaning on a cane limped out.

A woman around forty years old, with neat, short hair, fair and clean skin, and a pair of narrow-rimmed glasses perched on her nose.

Her delicate features, while not strikingly beautiful, exuded an intellectual and composed aura, clearly indicating a scholarly family background. Her clothes, though faded from repeated washing, were clean and neat, showing no signs of the disheveled state one might expect from someone desperately trying to survive in the apocalypse.

Who are you?

The woman glanced indifferently at Lu Sheng and the others, then calmly beckoned to the ragdoll cat, "Qiuqiu, come back."

The ragdoll cat's amber-like eyes curiously observed Lu Sheng and the others before reluctantly running back to the woman's feet, stretching, and leaning against her calf.

"Teacher Chen? Is that you?"

Tong Ziqi stared at the middle-aged woman for a while before asking uncertainly.

They weren't Chen Yanhong's direct doctoral students; they had only attended her large lectures during their undergraduate years and were considered to have some influence with her.

Having been exploited in the chemical plant for three years, her pre-apocalyptic memories had been almost completely eroded. After not seeing Chen Yanhong for three years, her image in Tong Ziqi's mind had become blurred, leaving only a vague outline.

"Who are you?" Chen Yanhong held her glasses and widened her eyes slightly.

Tong Ziqi's eyes welled up with tears of excitement. "Teacher, I am Tong Ziqi. I have taken your class before."

"..."

After an awkward silence for a few seconds, Chen Yanhong cleared her throat. "Sorry... I can't quite remember."

Life in the apocalypse was truly unbearable. Chen Yanhong had taught countless students, but apart from those she had personally mentored, she didn't have a deep impression of the rest. Furthermore, Tong Ziqi had cut her long hair into a buzz cut, a stark contrast to her appearance at school, making it difficult for Chen Yanhong to reconcile the two.

Lu Sheng and the others: "..."

This is a complete disaster.

How could Chen Yanhong feel safe going with them when she didn't even recognize them?

Seeing the atmosphere become tense, Cheng Mofan hurriedly patted his chest, "Teacher Chen, it's me! The one you caught eating spicy hot pot in the lecture hall! Cheng Mofan!"

"Ah...it's you."

Chen Yanhong looked Cheng Mofan up and down, and finally smiled faintly.

When a teacher has taught too many students, they can only remember two types of students.

One type is students who have excellent grades and a very close relationship with their teachers; the other type is students who are particularly mischievous and leave a deep impression on their teachers.

It's obvious that Cheng Mofan belongs to the second type.

After all, given Chen Yanhong's status in the field, there are very few people who dare to sneak food in her class, and Cheng Mofan is the only one who dares to eat spicy hot pot, which has a strong smell.

So even after several years, Chen Yanhong still remembers it vividly.

"Teacher Chen, we'll explain the details along the way. Now, come with us." Tong Ziqi quickly stepped forward, took Chen Yanhong's cane, and frowned with concern. "Teacher, what happened to your leg?"

Chen Yanhong's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. "I can't leave here."

"Why?" Gu Wen asked, puzzled.

“They arrested my students, and if I leave, they will be implicated.” Chen Yanhong smiled bitterly, lifting her trouser leg to reveal her ankle. “I have electronic ankle bracelets on me. Once I leave the area of ​​this greenhouse, the room where the students are being held will automatically detonate.”

Cheng Mofan paused for a second, then hesitated before saying, "Teacher Chen... perhaps... my senior brothers and sisters are no longer here..."

After all this time, who can guarantee that the person is still alive? Given the despicable nature of these people, they might have already passed their seventh day memorial service several years ago.

Chen Yanhong remained calm as she gently stroked the Ragdoll cat. "As long as I don't leave, they have a sliver of hope to survive. Once I step out of this greenhouse, they will have absolutely no chance of survival."

"How can a teacher risk their students' lives?"

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Sheng snatched the cat from her arms.

"Sit down and don't move or make a sound."

Lu Sheng gave Zhang Xiaojuan and Xiao Yu a look, and the two of them grabbed Chen Yanhong from both sides. Lu Sheng then took out the decoder and scanned Chen Yanhong's ankle twice.

After two beeping sounds, the electronic ankle bracelet on her foot fell off.

Lu Sheng grabbed a lamb that was grazing from his spatial storage and attached the electronic ankle bracelet directly to the lamb's hind leg.

After what they did, Tong Ziqi and the others were completely stunned.

"Electronic ankle bracelets usually have GPS positioning capabilities, updating their location every two seconds or so. Once the activity range exceeds the preset area, the electronic ankle bracelet will immediately sound an alarm," Xu Yi patiently explained to the group of curious children.

Chen Yanhong hesitated for a moment, "But the leg irons also have a recording function. What we just said may have already been uploaded. I can't leave."

"Don't worry, we have magnetic shielding; all signals here have been cut off." Lu Sheng glanced at Xiao Ning out of the corner of his eye.

Although this guy doesn't talk much, he's done everything he's supposed to do, which satisfies her.

"Now is not the time for asking a hundred thousand questions. Let's leave here first."

Lu Sheng took out an electronic wheelchair from his spatial storage and had Zhang Xiaojuan help Chen Yanhong sit in it. This was something he had scavenged from a pharmaceutical expo in the early days of the apocalypse; he never expected it would come in handy.

The group quickly pushed Chen Yanhong away from the greenhouse, but Lu Sheng stopped not far away.

She conjured a gas slingshot and launched it into the dense woods beside her.

"Ouch."

Two figures tumbled out from the lush greenery and scrambled to their feet.
