Chapter 362 Robot Siege
Jiang Wan thought Cheng Wenshan was cunning. He might be telling the truth, but he hadn't revealed all the facts.
For a period of time afterward, she focused on observing Cheng Wenshan and found that he did nothing but eat and sleep all day long, as if he was conserving his energy and strength. He didn't even do the most basic labor outside the city, let alone go out to contact other surviving cities. He was living a life like raising pigs and parasites.
This made them wonder if there were any surviving cities outside.
That evening, Jiang Wan couldn't help but say to Cheng Zhen, "What exactly is Cheng Wenshan doing? I have a feeling something's off about him."
Cheng Zhen: "It's okay, I'm keeping an eye on him."
He tapped on the table in front of them, reminding her, "Hurry up and eat. You've been thinking too much these past few days and haven't been eating much. You've even lost weight."
Upon hearing this, the twins immediately looked up, their eyes scanning their mother's face like searchlights. They then exchanged glances and came to the same conclusion: this man is a real scoundrel; he lies without even thinking, and it's unbelievable that he could say such exaggerated things.
Completely unfazed by the two children's disdainful looks, Cheng Zhen picked out two of the best ribs and placed them in Jiang Wan's bowl: "Eat quickly, you don't need to worry about these things, I will arrange them."
Since he had already said that, Jiang Wan felt that if she kept rambling on, it wouldn't be like her, so she kept quiet and didn't answer.
But she was preoccupied with her own thoughts and didn't notice the twins' meaningful gazes.
Cheng Zhen gave the two little ones a warning glare, then put two pieces of ribs on each of their plates, silently extinguishing a war without gunpowder at the dinner table.
"By the way, has your so-called brother contacted you again recently?"
Although Cheng Zhen now lives in his RV every night, he spends most of his time at the arsenal supervising production and training the city's defense forces. He must train a highly capable and battle-hardened team in the shortest possible time to attack Dragon City.
So during the day, he couldn't stay by her side to protect her at all times.
But their worries about her did not diminish at all, fearing that she might be careless and fall into the other party's trap again, since the other party also had people who could open the portal between time and space.
Jiang Wan shook her head: "No."
"Okay, then you must be careful at all times."
After Cheng Zhen finished speaking, she instructed the twins, "You two must also protect your mother at all times, understand?"
The two little ones nodded together.
It goes without saying that Jiang Xiaoshu has purification abilities. Jiang Xiaoxin also recalled all the rose assistants she had released, keeping them by Jiang Wan's side the whole time. They would not miss any disturbance and would not allow anyone to have another chance to harm her.
After Cheng Zhen finished explaining and filled his stomach, he got out of the RV and went out. Now they were racing against time; if they were even a day late, they risked being wiped out.
Since Cheng Wenshan rescued them that day, the direction of Longcheng has stopped dropping zombies directly from helicopters. However, the zombies outside the city walls continue to harass them, and it seems that they can't be completely wiped out no matter how hard they try. It has become more difficult for them to go out of the city to work than before.
Plans often fail to keep up with changes. Just as they were training a powerful team day and night, a real enemy appeared outside Longxiang City.
It's not a zombie, nor a monster, and certainly not a mutated plant.
As Cheng Wenshan predicted, it was a robot.
Jiang Wan was in the forest farm when she heard someone sounding the alarm on the city wall. Cheng Zhen arrived at her side almost instantly, hugging her with one arm and the twins with the other.
"I'll take you back to the RV; it's dangerous outside."
He moved very quickly, and before Jiang Wan could react, they had already arrived at the RV.
Jiang Wan grabbed Cheng Zhen, who was about to turn and leave, and said, "Take me with you."
She had just heard it; someone was shouting, "The robots are coming! The robots are coming!"
She looked at Cheng Zhen solemnly: "If it really is robots coming, I have a way to hold them off. Believe me, I really do have a way."
Your current strength is insufficient to fight them. You need to conserve your energy and then launch a surprise attack. If you reveal your strength now, it will be very difficult for you to achieve victory later!
Cheng Zhen admitted that what she said made sense, but he could not accept that when he encountered problems, a woman would help him get through them.
Jiang Wan continued to persuade him: "Trust me, they need my help, they won't hurt me!"
"Let's go too! Let's go too!" the twins shouted together.
"Wherever Mom goes, we'll go!"
They no longer want to endure the pain of separation from their mother.
Cheng Zhen hesitated, and just then, Cheng Wenshan's voice rang out from outside the RV: "Comrade Jiang Wan's idea is good, but I advise you not to reveal all your trump cards to the robot. Once you are no longer of use, you will not be far from your death."
Jiang Wan nodded. Although she remained skeptical of Cheng Wenshan, what he said now aligned with her previous understanding, so she politely thanked him.
Then he looked at Cheng Zhen, waiting for his decision.
Cheng Wenshan then took out a map: "This is a topographical map of Dragon City that I drew by hand. I have marked the location of their main chip. What you need to do is infiltrate Dragon City, get the access card to the main chip room, and then fire a signal flare. Then we can storm Dragon City."
Cheng Zhen frowned instantly and interrupted him unhappily: "We'll talk about the event plan later."
Jiang Wan reached out and took the hand-drawn map, saying, "I'll keep this for now, but you can discuss the specific mission plan first, and then tell me when you have a concrete plan."
After she finished speaking, she was about to get out of the RV when the twins grabbed her legs on either side.
"Mom, we want to go too!"
"No way!" Since her rebirth, Jiang Wan had always been quite accommodating to the twins, trying to make up for the maternal love they had missed. This was the first time she had refused them so sternly.
The two little ones were clearly hurt and didn't understand why.
Seeing their remarkably similar expressions of injury, Jiang Wan felt a pang of heartache. She knelt down and patiently explained to them, "The place Mom is going to doesn't allow people with special abilities to exist. Once they discover your special abilities, Mom won't be able to protect you."
Jiang Xiaoshu said, "But I have the ability to purify. I can protect myself, and I can also protect my mother and sister."
Jiang Wan shook her head and insisted, "Your little skill is nothing compared to theirs. Do you think Dragon City didn't have any powerful superhumans back then?"
Why are they almost nowhere to be seen now? Why have humans become slaves to robots? It's because they are powerful, Xiao Shu. Although you are young, you must learn not to underestimate the enemy.
