In fact, Jiang Ling and his group planned to bring Jiang Wan into Zhusha City and use her to coerce Cheng Zhen into submission.
They have investigated very thoroughly and found that Jiang Wan and the twins hold a very high place in Cheng Zhen's heart. The twins don't need any investigation; everyone with eyes can tell that they are Cheng Zhen's children.
As long as Jiang Wan brings the twins into Vermilion City, they won't have to worry about Cheng Zhen not giving in!
Ultimately, Zhang Hao was driven to a dead end.
He knew perfectly well that if they failed to complete the mission, terrible punishment awaited them.
He also guessed that Cheng Zhen and his group must have bamboo in stock. With so many spatial ability users under his command, how could they not have any in stock?
That's why Jiang Ling was ordered to get her hands on the bamboo through Jiang Wan. This mission had to be completed. And all of this had been anticipated by Cheng Zhen and Jiang Wan.
Grandpa Jiang's hand was stabbed, and apart from Jiang Ling, the other three people stared wide-eyed in horror.
They never expected that the Jiang family would produce such a remarkable person; this Jiang Wan was actually a superhuman!
Then they all glared at Jiang Ling with dissatisfaction. If they had known she was a superhuman, why did they even call them out?
Isn't this just sending them to their deaths?!
Especially Old Master Jiang, holding the injured hand as if he had lost his life, was heartbroken. He's so old, and he only has so little blood on him. It's not easy for him to live. Isn't this blowing him into the gates of hell?!
So they disregarded their mission and turned to head into Vermilion City. However, they had come out on the orders of the city lord and could not return without completing their mission.
The guards at the gate of Zhusha City stopped them and refused to let them into the city.
Grandpa Jiang got anxious and shouted at Jiang Ling, "Tell them to let me go! I want to go home!"
Jiang Ling was completely bewildered and shocked that Jiang Wan was also a superhuman!
If that's the case, things will become difficult. Even if she tricks Jiang Wan into Zhusha City, she can't guarantee that she'll surrender, let alone use her to coerce Cheng Zhen.
Jiang Wan observed everyone's reactions: "You all just want bamboo, right? Too bad, we don't have any on hand."
She pointed towards the forest farm, "There are some bamboos on that mountain, but unfortunately, they're not the kind that Longcheng specifically requested."
"Are you really not at all?" Seeing that their purpose for coming here had been exposed, Jiang Ling stopped hiding her true intentions and simply asked.
"No."
Even if I did, I wouldn't tell her.
Jiang Ling deflated instantly, looking as if she had aged ten years.
Lately, she's finding it increasingly difficult to deal with that lecherous old man, Zhang Hao. He seems to have grown tired of her, and he uses her as a scapegoat for all his troubles. She's losing her standing in the city, and one can imagine the terrible consequences that await her if she fails to complete Zhang Hao's mission this time.
Jiang Wan didn't pity her. If she pitied them, then who would pity them in the end?
She ignored them and went straight back to the RV. Then she found Cheng Zhen and said, "Let's plant bamboo in the forest."
"Or let's expand the forest farm."
She had a strong premonition that this kind of mission wouldn't be the last.
Although I don't know why, it seems that bamboo is more important than food and other supplies in an oxygen-deficient post-apocalyptic world.
If that's the case, why don't they plant bamboo?
Moreover, bamboo forests are natural oxygen bars, producing more oxygen than other plants.
Moreover, bamboo is relatively frost-resistant, so even if winter comes again, there is no need to worry about them all freezing to death.
Once the bamboo forest is successfully cultivated, the bamboo production will definitely be substantial.
There are many benefits to growing bamboo.
Cheng Zhen agreed to her suggestion: "Okay, let's plant bamboo then."
So Jiang Wan led the elderly, weak, women and children of Longxiang City to expand the bamboo forest on the mountain, as she had plenty of mother bamboo in her space.
The completion of the city walls of Longxiang City coincided with the time when the Longcheng authorities came to collect their work.
Zhu Shacheng couldn't hand over a single bamboo stalk, and the robot messenger's originally green eyes suddenly turned bright red, seemingly expressing anger and dissatisfaction.
"What about Longxiang City? Did you fail to complete your mission either?"
The robot messenger was clearly enraged. Although his calm and even voice remained unchanged, a hint of murderous intent could be detected in his tone.
Cheng Zhen stood straight, his gaze casually sweeping from the helicopter to the robot, and said, "Doesn't the Dragon City authorities know what the situation is like outside? Or are the wild plants outside Dragon City different from those here?"
The area outside is full of mutated plants; there isn't a single normal plant, so there isn't a single bamboo.
"Good! Good! Good!"
The robot messenger said "hello" three times, then its head turned 360 degrees in an instant. Its bright red eyes seemed to scan the surroundings, and then it immediately boarded the helicopter and disappeared along with it.
"Boss, I have a bad feeling," Yu Fen said.
Cheng Zhen's gaze fell on the direction of Zhusha City, and then he ordered: "All city guards shall assemble and stand by, and the rest of you shall stay at home and not go out unless necessary."
Yu Fen immediately accepted the order and gave it down. In no time, the entire Longxiang City was fully armed and ready for battle.
Zhang Hao had a premonition, so as soon as the robot messenger left, he immediately led his trusted subordinates to hide in the underground air-raid shelter. He also sent the city's only team of superhumans to guard the underground air-raid shelter.
Despite its seemingly high walls and thick ramparts, Zhusha City actually has little defensive capability.
If zombies attack, the resistance of ordinary civilians alone will allow them to enter unopposed territory.
Yu Fen couldn't help but curse, "That guy surnamed Zhang is such a damn dog!"
Their fears were quickly realized; within an hour or so, they felt a strong earthquake.
Yu Fen sensed it and asked, "Was it another earthquake?"
This is too damn mysterious! Last time, the mission didn't even rank in the top two because of a major volcanic eruption in the south and a major tectonic plate movement. This time, the mission wasn't completed. Does that mean another major earthquake is coming?
Cheng Zhen listened for a while while lying on the ground, then jumped onto the city wall and looked into the distance. His expression changed instantly, and he shouted, "Everyone, get ready! Zombies are attacking!"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the sound of "whoosh whoosh whoosh" of propellers came from above everyone's heads, and dozens of helicopters suddenly appeared above them.
They loomed over Vermilion City and Dragon Xiang City, and then countless zombies were dropped from the helicopters.
