“Yes.” Cheng Zhen turned his back to Huang Ying and gestured to Jiang Wan. The two went inside to talk. “The latest research results have come from the city. Using rare energy Ω to make partitions can indeed effectively block the extra ‘black light’ in sunlight.”
Jiang Wan's eyes lit up, and she became excited!
This means that plants in an oxygen-deficient post-apocalyptic world can continue to photosynthesize, and all living things in this post-apocalyptic world can survive!
“That’s a good thing!” she nodded affirmatively.
"The camps inside the city should be built outside the city to house the forest farms."
Jiang Wan hesitated for a moment, but still nodded. This was understandable, since there was no extra space in the inner city, and the forest farm should have been outside the city anyway.
Cheng Zhen laughed: "They've got a clever plan. They ordered our two outer city camps to give up their territory to them, and told us to go outside and exterminate the mutated plants to expand our territory and build more protective shields!"
In this post-apocalyptic world lacking oxygen, with mutated plants roaming the land, is it really that easy to expand territory? Is it really that easy to extend the city's protective shield?
This is a classic case of wanting the horse to run but not feeding it; they wish their outer city camp could live directly in the sky and not take up any space!
Jiang Wan was confused: "Your existence shouldn't conflict with the forest farm, right?"
It's simply a matter of planting greenery. In fact, the area inside the protective shield outside the city is quite spacious, so it's feasible to build a forest farm without occupying the space of the two outer city camps.
Cheng Zhen curled his lips into a half-smile, his gaze instantly darkening, and Jiang Wan understood:
"The forest farm is built outside the city. When the green plants resume photosynthesis, this place will be the place with the most oxygen and the best air quality!"
At that time, the soldiers guarding the outer city camp will be breathing fresh air, while those in the inner city camp will still be struggling in exhaust fumes. It would be strange if they could feel at peace with the contrast between the two.
To speculate further, what if the soldiers in the inner city were in critical health condition, and the peasants in the outer city camps took the opportunity to rebel?
Therefore, after holding meetings and discussions overnight, the top leaders of Xiangcheng almost unanimously passed a resolution to "make way for the forest farm in the outer city camp area".
Only the two outer city camps and some lower- and middle-level leaders within the city expressed their opposition.
Cheng Zhen gave her an approving look, and Jiang Wan lowered her voice and asked, "So, are you two going to fight?"
He raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Why would you ask that?"
"Isn't that how it's always portrayed in TV dramas and movies? And it's the same in nature documentaries. Lions usually fight to determine who wins in order to fight for territory."
Cheng Zhen paused for a moment, then corrected her: "When male lions fight, they fight not only for territory, but also for female lions."
Jiang Wan was puzzled. Was the main point they were making about the male and female lions?
"In short, lock your doors and windows and stay at home. I'll arrange for people to help you here and at the metasequoia tree. Don't worry."
This means that almost the entire camp will be mobilized at that time.
As Cheng Zhen walked out, Huang Ying suddenly knocked on the window and called out to him, "Captain Cheng!"
Cheng Zhen stopped and said, "Director Huang, your health should be almost fully recovered. As for whether there is a risk of infection, I hope you can provide us with some data. At that time, we will naturally let you out."
He believed that what Jiang Wan gave him was definitely useful, but she wanted to keep it a secret, so he naturally wouldn't leak it to anyone. Therefore, Huang Ying's "recovery" could only be a bit complicated, and in the end, a reliable blood test result would be used to silence the gossip.
Otherwise, given her status as a "suspected carrier of the zombie virus," even if he released her, the people of Xiangcheng would tear her apart instantly.
This has been happening frequently in this oxygen-deprived apocalyptic world where civilization has collapsed.
Huang Ying had no objection; she also needed to prove herself. She nodded at him and said, "You want to go to the city, right?"
Her tone was very certain.
Cheng Zhen raised an eyebrow in surprise, looked at her with a probing gaze, and subconsciously moved a little closer, with a layer of blast-proof window glass between them.
"Do you know Chaoyang?" Huang Ying asked.
This time, Cheng Zhen didn't show any surprise. Instead, he asked with a deep gaze, "What are you trying to say?"
He had long suspected that Huang Ying knew something about Chaoyang's secrets, otherwise she wouldn't have received such a strong retaliation just because she said something wrong in front of them.
Moreover, it seems that the other party is unaware that Huang Ying has already been rescued by them.
Huang Ying bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Can I trust you?"
Cheng Zhen doesn't have the time in the universe to play games with her.
Whatever it is, whether she tells him or not, he can find out some things on his own even if she doesn't!
So he turned and left without hesitation.
"medicine!"
Huang Ying said urgently, "They have the medicine! They control all the medicine in Xiangcheng!"
Cheng Zhen suddenly turned around, his gaze deep: "Are you serious?"
He had long suspected that even if the oxygen-deprived apocalypse came suddenly and human order collapsed instantly, with everyone frantically hoarding food and medicine, there was no reason why they would hoard all the medicine.
If the drugs could really be sold out, it would mean that everyone had some medicine, and people wouldn't be in such a miserable and destitute state as they are now.
Once the words were out, Huang Ying nodded firmly: "Yes, including all the medical supplies in the hospital, they are all in Chaoyang's hands."
"Doctors in hospitals have to buy the medicine they prescribe from them."
"Are they profiting from disaster?" Cheng Zhen said coldly, his inner rage silently raging. No wonder the hospital dared to overcharge now; the root of the problem was right here!
"You know the location?"
Huang Ying nodded, and Cheng Zhen approached. She whispered a name: "This should only be one of their strongholds."
Cheng Zhen understood. Their original plan was to take advantage of the chaos caused by those bastards coming out of the inner city to stir up trouble and seize Chaoyang. They never expected there to be such a stronghold.
However, his people hadn't been able to find the place she mentioned before, so they needed to find someone to check it out first.
The entire camp quickly returned to tranquility. Jiang Wan locked the doors and windows, drew the curtains, and stayed home with her two little ones, eating, drinking, playing, and sleeping, enjoying her own little life. With the photosynthesis issue resolved, she felt a great sense of relief.
Jiang Xiaoxin was so bored that she used her sensory abilities to explore the outside world for fun, and also gave a report:
"Mom, the No. 1 dawn redwood tree is very resilient!"
"Mom, Number Two looks a bit weak, but he won't die."
"Mom, number three..."
She was so bored that she numbered each of the 31 dawn redwood trees.
Two days later, she looked into the distance again and suddenly exclaimed, "Hey, Mom, the little grass and trees over there are starting to go to work!"
The job of plants is to produce oxygen through photosynthesis!
At the same time, a well-equipped garrison suddenly arrived outside the camp. Yu Tongguang jumped out of the vehicle and said arrogantly, "By order of the higher command, transplant the metasequoia trees to the forest farm. Go and dig them up!"
