Jiang Ling's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a look of surprise: "You were infected with the zombie virus? When did this happen?"
Jiang Wan looked at her with a half-smile: "It was before this zombie horde attacked us that, at our wilderness camp, Quan Yacheng, an ability user, released poison gas on all of us."
Why would poison gas be released on refugees in the wilderness?
Why choose such a crucial moment before the zombie horde attack?
She didn't believe Jiang Ling was completely unaware of this.
Jiang Ling was furious upon hearing this, but she quickly calmed down.
Her beautiful eyes swept over them all, then she smiled knowingly: "It's been so long, and you're all still acting normally, which means you're all fine."
"If that's the case, then it means you're not carriers of the mutated zombie virus, so what do we have to fear?"
Cheng Zhen's expression was serious, his gaze fixed on her, and he asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Jiang Wan also felt a sense of unease. Did she already know that they had the antidote?
Jiang Ling smiled slightly, her smile seemingly profound. Suddenly, she leaned closer to them, parted her red lips slightly, and whispered, "Infecting with the zombie virus won't be as easy as it is for you now. Moreover, symptoms will appear within 48 hours of infection, with occasional exceptions."
As she spoke, her eyes swept over all of them: "Even so, it's not like all of you are exceptions, is it?"
She chuckled softly, her laughter clear and distinct, knowing they had all used the antidote!
Cheng Zhen and Jiang Wan couldn't help but exchange a glance, their faces showing hesitation at the same time.
I never imagined that this poison gas would have a time effect!
Fortunately, Jiang Wan had diluted the tree sap and mixed it into the porridge to help the refugees recover from the virus caused by the zombie bites, and gave it to everyone to drink.
Otherwise, if the time for detoxification is delayed, all of them will be doomed!
The thought flashed through their minds, and they both looked at Jiang Ling at the same time.
Jiang Ling still had a smile on her face, especially a particularly gentle and kind smile for Jiang Wan, and then explained to them: "I was in charge of developing that artificial virus, and I can guarantee that there are no quality problems."
The implication is that, apart from the antidote, they couldn't possibly be standing here in such good health and normal condition.
As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Zhen and Jiang Wan felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
They didn't want to reveal Jiang Wan's trump card. In the oxygen-deficient post-apocalyptic world, the special medicine that could cure the zombie virus was no exaggeration to be called a miracle drug. Once the news was leaked, how many people would go crazy for it?
They simply couldn't imagine the consequences!
Cheng Zhen held Jiang Wan's hand tightly, offering silent comfort: "Don't worry, I'm here, I'll make sure nothing happens to you."
These words seemed to possess an invisible magic, instantly calming Jiang Wan down. She looked up at him and smiled slightly.
Jiang Ling noticed their nervous little movements, chuckled to herself, raised an eyebrow slightly, and glanced back and forth between them with a meaningful look before finally settling on their clasped hands.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Any other questions? If not, then hurry up and leave. This is not a place for you."
This is a noble villa district, inhabited by prominent and powerful figures in Zhusha City. Although they have been occupying the area for so many days, they have only managed to seize two townhouses belonging to Deputy City Lord Luo. Many people are living outdoors in the open air, and at most, they have damaged some of the community's greenery and individual villa gardens. However, this has still caused those people great distress, and they dare not even leave their homes.
Now that the decision has been made to keep them in Vermilion City, it is natural to arrange a suitable place for them.
Jiang Ling's goal was to keep Jiang Wan there; she didn't care about the fate of the others. When the higher-ups said to let her live in the slums in the north of the city, she had no objection.
Cheng Zhen and Long Wanzhi had no objections, their only condition being that Vice City Lord Luo be taken away.
Jiang Ling not only had no objections, but even asked excitedly, "What do you want to do with him? If you still don't have a clue, I don't mind helping you out."
Their enthusiasm was a bit excessive, which made people wary.
She curled her lip: "That guy surnamed Luo almost turned my dear little niece into a zombie. Am I supposed to be so kind as to save him?"
"No need, we'll settle our own scores," Cheng Zhen refused.
"Hey, wait a minute." Jiang Ling blocked Jiang Wan's path.
"Jiang Wan, you have to come with me."
She used to call me "little niece," but now she's so familiar with me that she calls me by my first name!
Although she claims to be Jiang Wan's aunt, and there's 99% no doubt about her identity, Jiang Ling is just a very strange person.
Their appearance was abrupt, and their actions seemed to have ulterior motives.
Jiang Wan had no interest in socializing with her, and besides, she was in a hurry to leave the city, so she politely declined.
"If you're asking about Jiang Cheng, I'm sorry, I can't tell you. I haven't known him for very long and I don't know him well."
After saying that, he didn't give her a chance to react or stop him, and walked away.
They stayed in the slums in the north of the city and spent a peaceful night. Jiang Wan couldn't resist the urge to leave the city.
"Only three days left!"
Jiang Xiaoshu then offered once again, "I will stay here to protect everyone's safety."
This time, not many people opposed him.
Apart from Cheng Zhen and Jiang Wan.
However, Jiang Wan's matter was urgent and could not be delayed any longer. In the end, Cheng Zhen and Jiang Xiaoshu made an agreement: "If there is any danger, no matter whether he can hold on or not, you must immediately release a signal flare to notify me!"
Jiang Xiaoshu obediently replied, "Okay, I understand."
Although he is only three years old, he is calm and knows what is important.
Long Wanzhi and the others also said, "Don't worry, if anything happens, we'll signal you immediately."
Cheng Zhen has a portal to another dimension, and he himself has the ability to teleport instantly. In case of any unexpected situation here, they can return immediately, so there is no need to worry too much.
When Jiang Ling learned that Jiang Wan was leaving the city, she rushed over immediately, but she was too late; Jiang Wan and the others had already left the city.
The men below asked, "Should we go out and chase after them?"
Jiang Ling shook her head: "No need. Just keep an eye on the others. He'll come back eventually."
Because there is simply nowhere to stay in the wild.
But right now, they can't come back even if they want to!
Cheng Zhen was extremely grateful that he had insisted on escorting her out!
Therefore, he specifically selected a team of superhumans, instead of going out alone and recklessly.
Of course, besides their role as guards, they can also kill mutated plants along the way, clear out zombie corpses, or simply dig up the soil to obtain crystals from underground.
They followed the location Jiang Xiaoxin sensed and headed there. Apart from encountering some mutated plants along the way, they didn't encounter any major troubles.
But when they finally found the wild protected plant, they truly understood what danger Jiang Xiaoxin meant!
