Cheng Zhen was also taken aback: "What on earth is going on?"
"We went through a lot of trouble to find them and brought them back safely, so why should we send them back into the city?"
Old Liu stared intently at him: "On what grounds? Because of your domineering requisition today!"
He slammed his hand on the table and said angrily, "They said we have nothing in the middle of nowhere, so we might as well go into the city. They have everything they need in the city, which will save us from having to rob the city again for some equipment or supplies!"
"Listen to this! Listen to this! What have they called our dignified First Battalion of the City Guard? Bandits?! Damn it!"
Cheng Zhen's temper flared up, and he clenched his fists, asking directly, "So we're just going to hand them over like this?"
That's so damn pathetic!
Old Liu, who had been in a frenzy, suddenly calmed down. He pondered for a moment and said, "Well, we can't make this decision ourselves. After all, the expert is only human!"
"What did you just say? The expert is making a scene and insisting on leaving the city?"
Old Liu immediately approved, "Then hurry up! The expert is leaving the city, so she must have something important to do. Let's not delay. You take the whole squadron to escort her, and leave now!"
Cheng Zhen couldn't help but laugh in exasperation: "Old Liu, are you chickening out?"
Old Liu instantly turned hostile, slamming his fist on the table and yelling at him, "What the hell am I a coward for! This is called 'all's fair in war,' you know? An expert is a person, with hands and feet. Where she goes is none of my business. She's not a criminal; she can't be escorted back to the city, can she?"
He genuinely didn't want to send the expert away; the expert had only been there a day and had already managed to get them some edible wild vegetables!
He had every reason to believe that those guys in the inner city were just jealous and envious!
Should he send the experts back?
Hmph, dream on!
He waved his hand impatiently, urging him, "Hurry up, hurry up! Are you dawdling? Do you want them to send people to rob us?!"
Cheng Zhen rolled up his sleeves and said, "Try to steal one! I'll beat them so badly their own parents won't recognize them!"
Jiang Wan was just about to go to sleep when she was woken up by a knock on the door. Upon learning that they were about to set off to hunt monsters outside the city, she looked up at the dark sky and asked, "Are you sure?"
Cheng Zhen forced himself to remain calm and nodded, "Yes."
Jiang Wan hesitated for a moment: "Then wait a moment."
She had to bring the twins with her; she wasn't comfortable leaving them alone in this unfamiliar camp.
Cheng Zhen was very attentive: "I'll help you carry them to the car. What do you need to take? Pack it up."
Jiang Wan was puzzled: "Are we going to be gone for many days?"
Cheng Zhen didn't stop. He entered the room, scooped up the twins with both hands, and said as he walked out, "Our mission is to eradicate the mutated plants. We won't return to camp until they're all gone."
Jiang Wan's gaze shifted slightly, and then she heard him add, "But we're not superheroes either. After a mission, we always need to go back to camp to rest."
Jiang Wan didn't care whether his words were true or false. In any case, she packed up all the luggage that she hadn't had time to fully unpack and organize, and moved it back to the RV.
When she saw that she wanted to drive a campervan, Cheng Zhen had no objections and readily agreed.
This doesn't seem like going out of town to do a mission, it's more like going on vacation?
Jiang Wan raised an eyebrow slightly, sensing that he was hiding something from her. She suddenly stopped and didn't move: "Tell me the truth, what exactly happened?"
Cheng Zhen knew she wasn't someone who could be easily fooled, but he didn't expect her to be so shrewd and perceptive, noticing something was amiss in such a short time.
He didn't want to tell her, but considering that he could keep it a secret for a while, he couldn't hide it from her forever, so he decided to tell her the truth.
Jiang Wan was taken aback, then laughed: "You mean, I've become a hot commodity?"
Tsk.
Cheng Zhen irritably ran his tongue around the roots of his teeth, feeling somewhat annoyed. How could this woman not be afraid at all?
"So, you came up with this terrible idea to run away with me?" Jiang Wan chuckled, her tone undisguisedly sarcastic.
Since his prediction had come true, Cheng Zhen had no choice but to admit it.
"What do I have to hide?" Jiang Wan sneered. "Why would I run away? Since they're all eager to work for me, let them all come. I'm short-handed anyway!"
After saying that, she took the twins, who were already crying loudly, back into her arms and comforted them while putting them on the bed.
Then he pointed to the door and ordered, "Bring all my things in. I'm not going anywhere. It's fine here."
Cheng Zhen stood still. Behind him, Yu Fen and his subordinates, who were already fully prepared, looked at each other in astonishment: What courage the expert has! Awesome!
"Remember to get my car fixed tomorrow, it's so ugly, it hurts my eyes."
After Jiang Wan finished giving her instructions, she said, "Close the door for me. It's late, I'm going to sleep."
Yu Fen eagerly fawned over her, quietly closing the door behind her. Turning back to Cheng Zhen, he said, "Captain! The expert is right! What are we going to do?!"
"Bullshit!" Cheng Zhen kicked him in the butt. "Did I chicken out? Which eye of yours saw that?!"
The sounds outside gradually faded away. Inside, Jiang Xiaoxin yawned and muttered in dissatisfaction, "Mom, that weird uncle is really stupid!"
"Yeah, they are pretty clumsy." Jiang Wan gently patted them, coaxing them back to sleep.
Looking at the little girl's peaceful sleeping face as she quickly fell asleep, she couldn't help but wonder: So, the child's morning grumpiness varies from person to person?
The next day, Jiang Wan prepared breakfast for the twins, then, while eating a steamed bun, walked to the back of the camp. But upon getting closer, she couldn't help but wonder, "What's going on?"
She pointed to the deep pit in front of her and asked the person who dug it.
The team that dug the hole was Fang Zhaodong's squadron. When they saw her coming, they were annoyed and ignored her completely, with no one answering her.
Cheng Zhen did indeed go on a mission last night, leaving two loyal subordinates to protect her.
Jiang Wan glanced back and saw a young boy named Yu Yuan following her. He was very quick-witted and, upon receiving her gaze, immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Our experts are asking you questions. Are you all deaf or mute? Can't you speak?"
"Hey! Little Taro Ball, you're asking for trouble, aren't you? Experts, you think you're all that now? Who gave you the nerve!"
Yu Yuan looked down on them: "Oh, so you know that the experts are all of us? Then why aren't you answering the questions the experts are asking you?"
Yu Yuan only has two people on his side, while Fang Zhaodong has half a company. If a fight really breaks out, they'll only come out worse off.
Jiang Wan finished eating the steamed bun and said, "Are you digging for groundwater? Why don't you just connect to the tap water? Anyway, the water is dirty and inedible, and it's been mixed with sewage and wastewater. It's quite nutritious, perfect for growing water hyacinths."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's expression changed, and they all began to feel nauseous. Some of them, who had just drunk a large bottle of water, couldn't help but bend over and vomit violently.
