Marta snorted softly:
"Is ending the apocalypse such a terrifying thing? Why would you all rather the world be ravaged by a virus than return to peace and tranquility?"
Teng Lao's face, which had been full of vigor and vitality, now became old again, and he lowered his head weakly.
"You're young and don't understand all those twists and turns. This world itself needs checks and balances to last. When the balance is broken and we lose the ability to protect ourselves, all we face is destruction."
The special medicine was very effective. After just a short while of being put into the water source, the mutated plants around it showed obvious changes.
The plants gradually changed from being weird to being peaceful, and the strange patterns on the leaves gradually faded away, revealing their original emerald green color.
The flowers are still blooming, as if they have changed, yet as if they have not changed.
Jiang Wan gently stroked the rose blossoms on the fence, a smile playing on her lips:
"It's no big deal if it's destroyed. You're already old enough, you've lived enough."
Mr. Teng had the urge to hit someone.
"What are you talking about, you naughty kid! I'm in my prime, I can live another five hundred years!"
Jiang Wan chuckled, "Add another five hundred years to make it a whole number. We have a saying over there: a thousand-year-old turtle is worth ten thousand years of age."
Mr. Teng felt his teeth itching, and suddenly he understood how Pipi felt when he said he wanted to bite someone.
He has been a foul-mouthed person all his life and enjoys making people angry, but he never expected that a junior would take advantage of him today.
"You say that so easily. Destruction is destruction. This world is controlled by the powerful. Those who play with fire will eventually get burned. The day will come when you become just another ordinary person. Will you, the instigator, have a good ending?"
"Then let everyone become ordinary people, no big deal."
Listening to Jiang Wan's brisk words, Elder Teng became even more furious:
"Everyone becomes an ordinary person? That's easy for you to say. If I hadn't fallen for your trick and been controlled by you, do you think you could achieve your goal so easily?
I'm not bragging, even if all the people from the other four cities come into my Wooden City, I'm sure I can prevent them from leaving.
This entire forest is filled with mutant plants, and they are all mine. As long as I want, no one can leave this forest!"
Mr. Teng became more and more excited as he spoke, his voice even rising in pitch:
"Even my Wooden City is so difficult to deal with, do you think the other cities will be easy to deal with? Fire City is located at the crater of a volcano. If they are forced into a corner, they will just erupt, killing as many people as possible. Gold City is even more full of traps at every step. Don't be so naive young man."
Jiang Wan's mind moved slightly, and he collected some new information.
People often say that an old man in the family is like a treasure. Although this old man is a bit mean, he knows a lot and can be recruited.
Jiang Wan patted Mr. Teng on the shoulder:
"It doesn't matter. You can help us solve it together. If we die, we die together."
Mr. Teng was shocked: "Me??? I won't go. I'm an old man, I want to enjoy my retirement and have a twilight romance instead of doing something so dangerous."
When Marta thought about having to travel with such a mean-mouthed old man for the rest of her journey, she was furious and sneered:
"Hmph, that's not up to you. The goddess is willing to take you in, so you should be grateful."
An hour and a half later, Teng Lao, with a pale face, followed Jiang Wan out of the chaotic wooden city.
Ordinary people in the city didn't think anything of it, but those with special abilities were horrified to discover that the connection between themselves and the plants had been severed.
Some people's supernatural powers have even degenerated, and in panic, the entire city is in turmoil.
After Mr. Teng finished dealing with the main affairs, he called his son out to take charge of the overall situation, and then left Mucheng with a depressed look.
The people of Mucheng now need to migrate to other safe places, otherwise if people from other cities find out, they will definitely send troops to destroy the entire Mucheng.
Resist, of course he should resist. He didn't want to leave. He wanted to stay and be the city lord admired by everyone. He also wanted to have a love affair with the still charming Grandma Cuihua.
After all, he is so strong now that he can kill a cow with one punch even without mutated plants. Zombies are immortal and do not need to eat or drink, and special zombies don't even need to bite people.
As long as he can stay, he will definitely be a god!
But he couldn't do it, he couldn't resist any of Jiang Wan's orders.
"Why did you bring an old man like me out here? Wood City is not like Earth City. They've been researching special medicines in other safe zones for a long time. But now that Wood City has fallen, it won't be long before they send troops."
"Hey? We've been to Water City before, and they've probably completely cleared out the zombie virus by now. Why don't you go?"
Elder Teng was stunned: "What? Water City was also cleared? But I haven't received any news from Water City."
Jiang Wan thought for a moment and figured it out.
"Will you tell other cities about your city's elimination of the zombie virus?"
Elder Teng sneered, "How is that possible? If we tell them, we will die. Of course we'll hide it if we can."
Jiang Wan snapped his fingers:
"That's it! This is called the right time, right place, and right people. First, we'll clean out the mutants, then the zombie hordes. It won't be long before the world returns to peace!"
Mr. Teng didn't show it on his face, but he wiped his sweat secretly. Where did these young people come from? They were doing things that others didn't dare to do.
It’s hard to survive in the apocalypse, so how can we still think about saving the world?
Jiang Wan opened the task board and the progress bar had advanced three-fifths.
Suddenly, an unexpected thing happened and the progress bar suddenly jumped forward one step to the four-fifths position.
Could it be that other teams have also found a way to complete the task?
Anyway, it still relieved some of the pressure on them. Now they only need to take over one more city to end the game.
It was almost the sixth day, and they didn't have much time left.
They have a big advantage now. As long as they can ensure that not all members are eliminated, it should be relatively safe for them to take first place.
"Both Fire City and Gold City are difficult to deal with. It would be great if we could find other teams to cooperate with and share the pressure."
Jiang Wan muttered something, and suddenly the system announcement sounded.
【All members of Team B are eliminated.】
【All members of Team E are eliminated.】
【All members of Team F are eliminated.】
【All members of Team G are eliminated.】
Jiang Wan:......
"The group... the group was wiped out?"
Qi An looked up at the sky and said, "It seems like they can't help us share the pressure."
Only Marta's eyes sparkled: "Great! We can take second place again!"
The players who had just climbed out of the practice cabin happened to hear these words.
The sounds of grinding teeth and clenching fists could be heard continuously at the scene.
They worked so hard, but ended up being wiped out, and this last-place team is actually fully staffed???
