The old woman's focus was somewhat different. With a strange expression, she asked, "Do the city guards want us to help them trick her into leaving the house?"
Ge Youcai paused for a moment, then nodded, "That seems to be the case."
Thinking of the benefits the squad leader had promised him, he urged her impatiently, "Hurry up, or she won't want to go out once it gets dark!"
The old lady was listless and didn't really want to move: "What did you get in return that you're so eager to get involved?"
She knew her son all too well; if there were no benefits to entice him, he wouldn't even lift a finger.
Ge Youcai's temper flared up when he heard her endless, nagging talk: "What benefits? It's just buying you oxygen cylinders, isn't it? The city guards have promised that if I get this done, I won't have to wait in line!"
Is that all the benefit you get?
The old lady pursed her lips, disbelieving.
But that didn't stop her from helping them out and coaxing the young woman out!
She finally realized that the young lady had a lot of stuff at home!
Those twins are so well-fed and healthy, they must have plenty to eat and drink, and they even have oxygen tanks!
As she walked down the road, she squinted and tried to think of a way; she had to get some of it into her own hands!
Meanwhile, Jiang Wan is also engaged in a battle of wits with the twins over whether or not to go out.
The twins were over three years old. Before the apocalypse, Jiang Wan felt that they were chattering away at home all day long, calling "Mommy" this and "Mommy" that all the time, and their constant calling of "Mommy, Mommy" was driving her crazy.
While other people's homes are bombarded with the same message repeatedly every day, hers is bombarded with twice the amount of messages.
In addition, they need to go out to play every day and require a certain amount of exercise to meet their growth and development needs. Jiang Wan felt that if she continued to accompany them like this, she would go crazy sooner or later. Moreover, she also had things to do and could not stay at home to take care of the children all day long, so she sent them to kindergarten early.
To this end, she also provided each of them with a smartwatch so that they could contact their mother anytime if needed.
This smartwatch not only makes it easy for them to find their mothers at any time, but also helps them strengthen their friendships with their friends.
For example, today, they just returned from digging up crystals outside the city. They were lucky today; Jiang Wan dug up 5 crystals and 1 oxygen stone, while the twins dug up 1 crystal and 3 crystals respectively.
With such a great harvest, Jiang Wan cooked them a sumptuous breakfast and dinner when she got home.
Chicken stew with mushrooms, clam stew with eggs, braised fish, stir-fried cucumber, and finally a plate of tomahawk steak, served with fragrant white rice. The three of us ate until we were full and satisfied.
Just after we finished eating, my younger sister Jiang Xiaoxin's smartwatch rang.
When buying the watch, Jiang Wan felt that children didn't need to make many phone calls, so she bought the simplest watch that could only set three frequently used contacts.
So, besides her mother, who is a three-year-old baby who hasn't been weaned yet, who else would contact them?
Jiang Wan was quite shocked!
Who is it?
She didn't seem to care much, but she was actually listening intently as she tidied the kitchen.
"Oh? Little Xuanxuan, don't cry, we're coming to save you right away!"
Before Jiang Wan could hear what they were talking about, she saw the twins rushing toward her in a hurry!
Of course, Jiang Xiaoxin was running so fast that her calm brother was dragged along and had to frantically try to keep up with her.
"Mommy, Mommy, Xuanxuan is in danger! We have to hurry and save him!"
Jiang Wan automatically understood that Xiao Xuanxuan was a good friend she had made, but she did not plan to go out. The risks of going out in the apocalypse were too great, and she herself would not take the risk, let alone take the two children with her.
“Xiao Xuanxuan has a father and mother, we don’t need to rescue him.”
“But Xuanxuan’s parents are also in danger, and he needs us to save him!” Jiang Xiaoxin said, then emphasized anxiously, “He and his parents both need us to save them!”
Jiang Wan looked at the earnest and anxious little girl and sighed helplessly, "Xin Xin, Mommy isn't a superhero. If we go out, we'll be in danger ourselves, how can we save others?"
Seeing the little girl's eyes widen in shock, she thought for a moment and suggested, "Give him a call and tell him to quickly find the city guards to help them."
The usually naive and simple-minded little sister, who always did whatever her mother said, suddenly erupted. Her eyes and face were red as she anxiously shouted:
"Mom! Xuanxuan is our good friend! He and his mom and dad are in danger, they're about to die! We have to go save him and help him, otherwise my brother and I won't have any good friends anymore!"
"Waaah, Xuanxuan is such a good friend! I don't want to lose such a good friend!"
My little sister was crying so hard that she started hiccuping!
Even the older brother, Jiang Xiaoshu, couldn't stay calm. Although he didn't say a word, his accusing eyes conveyed the same meaning as his sister!
Jiang Wan was deeply moved. To be honest, she felt she had never experienced such a profound friendship before...
Faced with the two little ones' anxious, nervous, and accusing eyes, Jiang Wan finally gave in.
So, when the old lady on the 18th floor finished figuring out how to put on a good show and appeared on the 17th floor, Jiang Wan had already left Yincheng Yazu with the twins.
Cao Jin, who had been waiting outside, saw her come out and assumed that Ge Youcai had really helped her lure the person out. He was in a great mood and waved his hand, immediately leading several of his subordinates to follow her.
But Jiang Wan took the elevator down to the garage and got into the oxygen-storage RV. Even after the RV honked its horn to disperse the fighting crowd, Cao Jin still couldn't find an opportunity to make a move and could only patiently continue following.
One of the henchmen asked, "Boss, when do we make our move?"
Cao Jin's eyes were sinister: "Once she leaves the city, find an opportunity..." He made a knife gesture with his hand, indicating that he was going to kill her to silence her.
Let's see where she's going. If she can kill someone out there without anyone noticing, it will make it easier for them to clean up the mess!
Jiang Xiaoxin didn't know the exact location of Xiao Xuanxuan's home, but she knew that Xiao Xuanxuan's home was very close to Guoya Private Kindergarten, which was near the villa where they used to live. Jiang Wan drove directly to Guoya Private Kindergarten.
Meanwhile, outside the city's protective shield, Cheng Zhen and his team had just wiped out a wave of mutated plants, and he was resting on the hood of an off-road vehicle.
Yu Fen was reporting to Cheng Zhen: "I have found out that the last two botanists on the list are still alive, but for some reason, they have both disappeared."
“They all turned off their phones. This guy named Li Siming had a brief cell phone signal outside the city before. And this Jiang Wan, her phone has never been on, but she has two children. Today, both of their phones are on, and I've already located them!”
"Look!"
