Cheng Zhen couldn't help but look at Jiang Wan with new respect. This woman seemed cold and indifferent, and apart from her twins, she seemed to care about nothing. However, she pointed out the difference between the inner and outer city camps and the city guards in just a few words, leaving an impression on the people.
This showed everyone that the outer city camp's guards were dedicated to eliminating mutated plants, digging up wild vegetables, and caring for the common people, while those in the inner city were merely putting on airs and were not approachable.
Her actions may not bring the people closer to the outer camps, but they will certainly alienate the people from the inner city camps and even the Xiangcheng leadership system. Once the upper echelons lose the support of the people, the city will not be far from riots.
Yu Tongguang and Cao Jin were naturally anxious.
Jiang Wan is deliberately causing trouble. Only by giving Yu Tongguang and his gang something to do can she keep quiet around them.
Yu Tongguang kicked Cao Jin and said angrily, "Hurry up and go!"
Cao Jin was on the verge of tears; he knew this would happen to him.
Outside the protective shield, two teams of +1 city guards were digging for wild vegetables. Whenever they encountered something they were unsure about, they would ask Jiang Wan for directions. As a result, they not only dug up yellow quail, but also a lot of dandelions.
Inside the protective shield, the people were digging for crystals with great enthusiasm. The twins squatted together, head to head, also digging hard, determined to use their strength to find the crystals!
This corner outside the city was peaceful for a time.
When night fell and dangers arose both inside and outside the city, everyone finally headed home.
During this time, Yu Tongguang stayed by Jiang Wan's side, trying to start a conversation every now and then, but she would always change the subject with a few words or directly retort. No one knew whether he was angry or not, but the smile on his face remained unchanged, like armor.
Until he received a phone call, his expression changed instantly, and he immediately recalled Cao Jin. The two hurriedly returned to the city.
Jiang Wan herself didn't have any feelings about Tong Guang.
On the way back, Yu Fen and the others couldn't help but mutter to themselves, "So that bastard surnamed Yu had masochistic tendencies? How come we never noticed before?"
Cheng Zhen remained noncommittal; he might not be looking for humiliation, but he certainly had ulterior motives.
Jiang Xiaoxin overheard this and immediately asked, "Mom, what's 'dog thing'? What does 'masochistic tendency' mean?"
This is a new term in the world of twins.
Besides the mother and her two children, Cheng Zhen and Yu Fen were also in the RV. The two fell silent for a moment, and Yu Fen secretly slapped himself in the face, thinking to himself, "Look at my mouth, I can't keep it shut. What nonsense am I saying in front of a child!"
Just as he was shamelessly trying to explain and apologize, Jiang Wan said very calmly and seriously, "Dog thing is an insult. It means that the person surnamed Yu is not a good person. But you should be civilized and polite children and you must not learn to swear."
"Do you have a masochistic tendency...?"
After Jiang Wan finished explaining in a serious manner, he told them to take Yu Fen as a negative example to learn from.
The two little ones listened very attentively, a scene that left Yu Fen dumbfounded, ashamed, and embarrassed.
Then he secretly winked at Cheng Zhen, who was driving: Boss, so this is how you educate kids?
Cheng Zhen gave him a look: I don't know either, I have no experience.
Yu Fen, a restless soul, soon started another conversation: "Boss, guess what? That guy surnamed Yu..."
He was about to speak when he subconsciously glanced behind him.
Jiang Xiaoxin was indeed staring at him with her small, round eyes, her face full of accusation: "We should speak properly and be civilized and polite people. We can't swear!"
Yu Fen, who was used to being rough around the edges with Cheng Zhen, was forced to act politely for once, forcibly changing his words and continuing to speak in a stiff and polite manner:
"Where did Yu Tongguang go? Could something have happened to their inner city camp?"
Cheng Zhen smiled slightly, glanced at the back in the rearview mirror, and thought to himself that he should be sensible and say less.
When he asked that question, she simply replied, "Maybe."
Ahem, he can't guarantee he can still be a polite and civilized person when he gets agitated, but speaking less is definitely the right thing to do!
Yu Fen looked at him strangely, his eyes full of accusation: Boss, you've changed!
They brought back enough wild vegetables to feed the entire camp for three days, and everyone was relaxed along the way.
But as soon as they entered the camp, they were met with Battalion Commander Liu's somber face. Several battalion commanders were also present, and the atmosphere throughout the camp was heavy.
Yu Fen was anxious and immediately ran over to ask, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Cheng Zhen coughed, and only then did he realize his behavior, standing aside and waiting for him to join him.
"Battalion Commander!" Cheng Zhen saluted and returned to his unit.
Old Liu nodded, then ordered, "Send the wild vegetables we dug up to the city."
"What?"
"On what grounds?"
Those who came back with Cheng Zhen were all furious.
"What's the reason?" Cheng Zhen frowned, his expression displeased, as if he wouldn't let anyone touch a single wild vegetable unless he was convinced.
"The supplies that were originally scheduled to be delivered to Xiangcheng today did not arrive as scheduled."
Old Liu's tone and expression were very serious. "I only found out after inquiring with Longcheng that they are running out of fuel, so the planes carrying supplies can't take off."
"groove!"
Cheng Zhen instantly exploded: "Who are you trying to fool? Shuozhou is right behind Longcheng. It's a vast and resource-rich land with abundant minerals. Even if the whole world runs out of fuel and energy, Longcheng will definitely not be without them!"
He really didn't expect that the Dragon City side would be so shameless!
Old Liu was also helpless: "We still have water hyacinths here, you should send the wild vegetables away."
"No way! I risked my life to get these with my men, why should they get them for free? They just ask for vegetables without asking, why don't they go get them themselves?"
Cheng Zhen angrily threw a punch out of thin air, instantly creating a large crater in the ground not far away.
Old Liu remained silent, Pingjiang was expressionless, and many of the other captains and squadron leaders exchanged glances discreetly.
"Yes! No way!"
"We won't give it to them!"
Led by Yu Fen, Cheng Zhen's squadron followed suit with a collective protest.
Looking at the chaotic group of people, Lao Liu angrily pointed at Cheng Zhen: "Look at you! As a dignified squad leader, what kind of example are you setting? It's a complete mess! All of you, go back! Everyone, write a thousand-word self-criticism!"
"Send this truckload of wild vegetables away now!"
It was like losing a piece of fat meat that was about to be eaten; he was upset and decided to just ignore it.
Cheng Zhen was a hundred percent against it. They, the people from the outer city, were treated like stepchildren, always suppressed and looked down upon by the people from the inner city. Now they were expected to treat those bastards from the inner city like ancestors. It would be strange if he agreed!
While they were locked in a stalemate, the people sent by the inner city camp to collect the wild vegetables had already arrived.
It's Yu Tongguang again.
Cheng Zhen's eyes immediately blazed with fury, and he rushed forward to punch someone. Yu Tongguang narrowly dodged the attack and was also enraged: "Cheng Zhen, are you crazy! Do you want to disobey orders?"
Cheng Zhen suddenly smiled, "Disobeying orders won't stop me from beating you up!"
Yu Tongguang was no match for Cheng Zhen and took several hits in a row. Old Liu remained silent with a sullen face, and everyone else stayed still.
Jiang Wan then waved to Fen: "Why don't you take this opportunity to move the vegetables inside?"
