“Because I love your mother!” Cheng Zhen quickly replied.
I thought to myself, "This time I should be able to get through this, right?"
The little girl then asked, "So your mother doesn't care anymore?"
grass!
If she weren't his own daughter!
He turned and left long ago, why waste time talking to her!
He endured and endured, taking deep breaths, and replied, "Guan, I'll save your mother first, then I'll save mine!"
Before Jiang Xiaoxin could ask any more questions, he said directly, "Because I love your mother more."
After she finished speaking, the scene was quiet for a moment. Jiang Xiaoxin considered it for a while and seemed to be satisfied.
She slightly raised her chin and nodded with an air of pride: "Mm."
Did you finally pass?
Cheng Zhen let out a heavy sigh.
"Then I'll tell you," Jiang Xiaoxin said reluctantly, "The people of Zhusha City and Quanya City have colluded. They've found something on you—you killed Yu Tongguang before."
Cheng Zhen was not surprised that they would collude together, but he did not expect them to start with Yu Tongguang's matter.
Jiang Xiaoxin continued, "They also said that my brother, mother, and I are your weaknesses."
She glanced at them sideways with disdain: "What kind of looks are those? They actually think we're your weakness? Tsk!"
Cheng Zhen immediately sensed something was off. Was she looking down on someone? Or was she implying that he didn't care about her and their child?
For the first time, Cheng Zhen felt that she should carefully examine and seriously re-understand the twins.
He used to think Jiang Xiaoshu was the most difficult to deal with, but now it seems that the simple-minded Jiang Xiaoxin is no pushover either!
For the first time, Cheng Zhen's heart, which was as cold and hard as iron, felt tears welling up.
He maintained eye contact with her, trying his best to appear calm and loving, and asked, "Where's your mother? Has your brother woken up?"
The young girl had no patience for further small talk and playing games with him. Before leaving, she concluded, "That's all for today's Q&A. Consider those messages a gift from me!"
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the RV with a very stylish air.
Jiang Wan wasn't there; only Jiang Xiaoshu was sleeping quietly in the RV.
She climbed onto the bed, sat cross-legged next to her brother, and muttered to herself, "Brother, I've decided. From now on, I'm going to seriously examine him!"
Why do we need to investigate?
"Because he's really amazing! He can protect Mom!"
"Of course, my brother and I are also very capable! With us around, we don't really need him at all!"
"However, if Mom has him to take care of her, my brother and I will have a much lighter burden!"
...
Inside the RV, she asked and answered her own questions, and then completely arranged the matter.
The trenches outside the safe zone were being dug at a great pace, and sisal was planted along the edges of the trenches. They also tried to find glass, iron and other sharp tools in nearby towns, which they then inserted upside down into the bottom of the trenches to build defensive fortifications.
Cheng Zhen has mobilized all the elderly, women, and children to work in three shifts, but the manpower in Xiangcheng is limited, and the progress is quite slow.
Long Wanzhi also organized the manpower in Kowloon City and joined them in the construction and excavation.
With Kowloon City joining the effort, the progress of the fortifications accelerated significantly.
With the defensive fortifications halfway complete, Long Wanzhi found Cheng Zhen and said, "We've run into some trouble."
Cheng Zhen had already guessed it. He curled his lips into a cold smile and, without waiting for him to explain the situation, headed directly towards the border between their two safe zones and the entire Asia City safe zone.
Over there, the defensive fortifications were forcibly blocked, and the city's garrison stood in the open space, lined up in a row, each holding a weapon, their menacing expressions fixed on the people building the fortifications, as if they would open fire at the slightest movement.
Upon seeing Cheng Zhen approach, the leading general, Yuan Mao, turned to him with a hostile attitude: "Cheng, what do you mean by this? We're all refugees, all turned away by Zhu Sha City. Why are you making such a distinction between different classes?"
"Are you trying to exclude the entire city of Asia? What exactly are you plotting?"
He stepped forward, pointed his gun down, and fired three shots in quick succession, saying, "I don't agree to this trench being built here. Either we're a unified entity and the trench goes around us, or we don't need to build this trench at all!"
In short, his intention was very clear: he did not want to be separated from Xiangcheng or Kowloon City.
To others, this would seem like Cheng Zhen and his group went too far. After all, they were all refugees, and in the wilderness, they should have united instead of dividing up their strength and fighting each other.
Cheng Zhen and his group's actions were indeed unusual.
Yuan Mao and his group grasped this point, which is why they dared to openly obstruct them.
But little did he know that Cheng Zhen and Long Wanzhi already knew his true colors.
Cheng Zhen took two steps closer and asked directly, "I'm going to dig a trench here today, what are you going to do about it?"
"To put it bluntly, I don't want to associate with you today, so what are you going to do about it?"
Yuan Mao hadn't expected Chen Zhen to be so assertive, but he wasn't afraid. He had noticed Cheng Zhen long ago; he was a troublemaker with no sense of rules. Right now, Xiangcheng was leaderless, and Cheng Zhen was the strongest. He made all the decisions in Xiangcheng. If he could just take him down, he would have the whole city under his control.
He stared at Cheng Zhen expressionlessly for a long time, then suddenly attacked without warning, reaching out to strike Cheng Zhen's neck and other vital points. His hands were gripped into claws, each move deadly, and it turned out to be a set of extremely lethal ancient martial arts moves!
After several exchanges, Cheng Zhen was slightly shocked. He was not a beginner-level ability user; he was at least level two or above.
Cheng Zhen did not use his full strength, and Yuan Mao did not gain any advantage either; both of them were testing each other's strength.
Just then, a group of people walked out from behind Yuan Mao and the others.
Who else could be the one in the lead but Deputy Director Luo?
Deputy Director Luo was extremely arrogant and confidently questioned Cheng Zhen:
"The entire South is now under the jurisdiction of our Southern Military Region, so the land you are standing on is entirely under the jurisdiction of Zhusha City. What right do you have to divide the territory of Zhusha City!"
His words were full of official jargon!
This is a direct attempt from the perspective of Zhusha City to stop Cheng Zhen and his men from digging trenches and building fortifications.
Cheng Zhen watched them collude in their evil deeds, finding it amusing in his heart, but also showing a look of contempt on his face.
He was even more ruthless in his words, saying directly, "You, surnamed Luo, do you think you can stop us like this?"
He gathered energy from a light shockwave in his hand, intending to overwhelm the group and forcibly dig a trench. Deputy Director Luo was also quite afraid of his power and quickly said before he could make a move:
"Cheng Zhen, you stole the key artifact that helped humanity survive the oxygen-deficient apocalypse! Now you want to keep it all for yourself? Let me tell you, this is a treasure of our Vermilion City. This is blatant robbery. You'd better hand it over right now!"
