Jiang Wan had a peaceful night. In the middle of the night, she faintly heard some noises in her sleep. At first, she was alert, but after confirming that it wouldn't affect her, she went to sleep with the twins in her arms.
The next morning, Jiang Wan dug the twins out of their warm bed, and after they ate breakfast, she took out a magnetic puzzle and a box of building blocks and let them choose.
Jiang Xiaoshu chose the jigsaw puzzle, while Jiang Xiaoxin took the building blocks without hesitation. Jiang Wan was not surprised by this result at all.
These twins look exactly alike, but everything else about them, including their personalities, intelligence, hobbies, etc., is completely opposite to their gender.
But this puzzle wasn't too difficult for Jiang Xiaoshu; he finished it in no time.
Looking at it, Jiang Wan felt a pang of regret and remorse. Her rebirth had been too hasty. If she had just one more day, she would have used the millions she had squandered to buy educational toys, textbooks, and sports equipment for the twins. Unlike now, her tree hole space only contained a little bit of stock she had collected from the supermarket.
With its limited categories and simple format, it doesn't really serve much purpose beyond playing around.
Jiang Xiaoshu didn't pay attention to his mother's thoughts. After finishing the puzzle, he took his silly little sister to practice their superpowers.
Jiang Wan was anxiously waiting for Cheng Zhen to give him news from the US military, but instead of news from the US military, he received news from a very unexpected person.
Zhao Xiaojun, the soldier who wanted to avenge his sister, was a city guard in the inner city camp and an earth-type ability user.
He burrowed directly into the ground and arrived outside Jiang Wan's dormitory. As soon as he poked his head out of the ground, he was subdued by Yu Fen and the others who were guarding outside.
"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! I have urgent business with Jiang Wan!"
"Jiang Wan?" Yu Fen slapped him on the forehead. "Call me 'expert'! Don't you know the rules? Who gave you the right to call me by my first name?!"
Jiang Wan happened to see this from the window, so she pushed open the door and asked, "Zhao Xiaojun, what do you need me for? Have you found the murderer who killed your sister?"
Zhao Xiaojun shook his head helplessly: "No, but I have already found out that my sister's death has nothing to do with you."
"There wasn't one to begin with!" Yu Fen wanted to slap him again, mainly because this guy didn't follow the usual path and jumped in from underground, making him really want to swing a sledgehammer and whack-a-mole!
Zhao Xiaojun wasn't stupid; he immediately jumped away.
"Is there anything else?" Jiang Wan asked when she saw that he wasn't planning to leave.
"I...I'd like to ask you for a favor."
As if afraid they would refuse too quickly, he quickly explained the situation, adding at the end: "...She disappeared after you left. I strongly suspect that she was secretly disposed of by them. But I want to see her alive or dead!"
It turns out that he asked Jiang Wan and Cheng Zhen to help him find Huang Ying. Coincidentally, Huang Ying is his aunt, and he and his sister were raised by Huang Ying since they were young.
Her husband and daughter were strangled by the plants they kept at home that suddenly mutated on the night of the oxygen-deprived apocalypse, but she was spared because she was on duty at the hospital at the time.
Jiang Wan asked curiously, "You are a member of the city's defense force yourself, why don't you go find it yourself?"
Even if you don't have the ability yourself, you can always ask your boss for help.
Why bother coming all the way here to see her?
Zhao Xiaojun glanced around but didn't speak immediately.
His meaning was quite clear: he wanted to speak to her alone.
Yu Fen disagreed: "I'll go get the captain! You wait here!"
He then instructed Yu Yuan to keep a close eye on him and protect his sister-in-law before rushing out like a gust of wind.
Cheng Zhen quickly returned with him, and Jiang Wan led them into the laboratory: "Tell me what happened now."
“I checked at Xiangcheng University. When the dodder mutated, there were other people at that university besides you.”
Cheng Zhen astutely analyzed: "Is the other party also a superhuman?"
"It's pretty much true." Zhao Xiaojun told him everything he had found out.
“My sister wasn’t killed by you, but she wasn’t killed by the mutated dodder either. It was that person. I saw him on the surveillance footage, but unfortunately, I only saw his back. All the other surveillance footage was gone, and the footage I watched later was also destroyed.”
It is obvious that someone destroyed all the evidence in order to prevent him from learning the truth.
"You suspect this person is from your team?" Cheng Zhen asked.
He did not deny it, nodding and saying, "He is an esper. I suspect he is inside the city guard."
The inner city's garrison was his primary suspect.
Cheng Zhen also had his doubts, but he knew there was another place where there were people with superpowers, namely "Chaoyang".
He asked, "And what happened to your aunt?"
“After you left, she disappeared. But I spoke to her on the phone that morning. The hospital wasn’t receiving many patients and had run out of supplies and crystal vouchers. She was out of food. I told her I would go to her house later to deliver crystal vouchers and supplies, but she never came back. Later, I went to her workplace and found out she was missing.”
Cheng Zhen's trip to the hospital caused quite a stir at the time, and almost everyone in the inner city barracks knew about it.
Huang Ying has disappeared?
Cheng Zhen seemed to understand something, then simply said, "Okay, I'll help you look into it."
He suspected that Huang Ying's murder was related to what she had told them yesterday.
She exposed the hospital's current corrupt state, so she was silenced?
If that's the case, then the security guard at the gate probably won't have a good ending either.
It wasn't that the hospital couldn't distribute supplies and crystal vouchers, but rather that Huang Ying was disobedient, so she didn't receive the corresponding commission.
Before leaving, Zhao Xiaojun told Jiang Wan, "My sister and the others did the experiment according to Professor Qin's notebook, so is Professor Qin also involved in the problem?"
He further discovered that Jiang Wan had disagreed with Professor Qin when she was still pursuing her doctorate at school.
Jiang Wan frowned, then nodded objectively: "Your sister also admitted it, but we didn't see that notebook at the time, and Professor Qin was already dead."
Zhao Xiaojun left again, only telling them to send him a message if they found Huang Ying.
After he left, Jiang Wan asked Cheng Zhen, "Are you really going to help him find someone? Has the US military given us any news yet?"
"No, I'll go into town later to check on the situation."
Cheng Zhen added, "People need to be saved. Huang Ying is a decent person; at least her medical skills are quite good. She's a pediatrician, a pediatrician with medical ethics, and she's a powerful reliance for humanity to overcome the crisis in this oxygen-deficient apocalypse."
They will eventually grow old and fall, and the mission of humanity will eventually be passed on to the children of today. Whether they can grow up healthily in an oxygen-deficient apocalypse depends heavily on a capable and ethical pediatrician!
As long as he had a goal, he could open the portal to time and space at any time, so he hardly hesitated. But as soon as the portal opened, his expression changed drastically!
Even Jiang Wan, who had her hands in her pockets and was about to leave, couldn't help but exclaim in alarm, "Be careful!"
