Cheng Zhen felt it over and found nothing unusual, but it was true that his physical strength and energy were much more abundant! And it was quite obvious!
Yu Fen, on the other hand, became unusually irritable, as if a surge of energy within him was about to burst forth. This was similar to how Cheng Zhen had reacted after consuming the Golden Flowing Years, only not as intensely.
Cheng Zhen calmed him down, helped him digest the supernatural power, and then signaled Jiang Wan and the others to quickly get away.
Jiang Wan, being experienced, immediately led the twins to find cover and hide. Only after Yu Fen successfully absorbed the energy that upgraded to level two did they return to the safe zone.
He should have been very excited to be upgraded to a level two superhuman, but in reality, Yu Fen remained silent on the way back.
It wasn't until he encountered another wave of mutated zombies that he went on a killing spree, his eyes bloodshot as he vented his anger and resentment, finally releasing all the sadness and frustration in his heart.
"Old Chen will be very happy if you do this."
Cheng Zhen patted his shoulder deeply, and the two exchanged a knowing look that only men could understand, before setting off again.
The city's protective shield in the temporary safe zone is not very large because there were not enough crystals when it was first built. So, apart from the private mine, the city's protective shield that was built was only the size of two football fields, enough to accommodate people.
The sisal they dug up was just enough to plant around the city's protective barrier.
Relying solely on sisal is insufficient; it is also necessary to arrange for people with supernatural abilities to take turns patrolling continuously to prevent any refugees from stubbornly forcing their way through.
As soon as they returned to the safe zone, they discovered a very serious and widespread phenomenon: everyone, whether ordinary people or those with superpowers, looked exhausted and had no energy.
Cheng Zhen stood on high ground and surveyed the area. The more he looked, the uglier his expression became. Finally, he found a megaphone and shouted to the crowd, "Everyone, divide into two shifts and take turns resting and mining crystals. Strong men, join the city guard and participate in patrols!"
"This safe zone is our bottom line for survival! It's our home! We absolutely cannot allow anyone to invade it!"
The survivors of the Xiangcheng earthquake, plus more than a thousand people with superpowers, didn't even add up to more than 10,000 people!
Humanity has suffered tremendous losses in the face of nature!
And to this day, they still don't understand why all of this happened!
No one objected to Cheng Zhen's arrangements, but the superhumans were really exhausted, and they were completely short of crystals. They couldn't dig up many crystals underground in the safe zone, and even if they occasionally found one or two, they were of very poor quality and did not help them replenish their energy at all.
Even with patrols divided into two shifts and the addition of strong men from among the ordinary people, the superhumans still didn't feel any relief.
Just as everyone was struggling with exhaustion and on the verge of collapse, two small figures suddenly appeared in the crowd, each handing out a crystal of excellent quality—blue, yellow, green, orange, red, and so on—better than any crystal they had seen before!
The two little ones carried a sack of crystals together. One was taciturn, while the other chattered incessantly: "No need to thank me, no need to thank me. Hurry up and absorb the energy to recover your spirits. You must protect us all!"
As they made their way there, it wasn't long before almost everyone knew that there was a pair of adorable, pink-clad twins in the safe zone. They possessed rare and exquisite crystals, and absorbing their energy indeed swept away their fatigue, filling their bodies with inexhaustible power!
The safe zone was peaceful and harmonious. Jiang Wan took out 80% of the various tents he had collected in the tree hole space. Even so, it was still not enough to accommodate nearly 10,000 refugees.
Not only were there a shortage of tents, but also of warm blankets. Fortunately, Jiang Wan and his team had previously emptied all the supermarkets, home textile stores, and warehouses in Xiashan Town, and the blankets they brought out were enough to keep the elderly, weak, women, and children warm.
But these are not long-term solutions to ensure everyone gets through the winter safely.
After Jiang Wan finished helping them settle in, she ran into Cheng Zhen who came looking for her.
"You should go and get some rest. Just give them the things."
Jiang Wan glanced at him with a half-smile. Of course, she was happy to be a hands-off manager, but if these people started fighting and causing disputes because of the supplies she provided, she would inevitably feel uncomfortable, and it would also be a waste of her very rare supplies.
But Cheng Zhen said, "It's okay, Yu Fen will handle it. You should go back and take Xin Xin and Xiao Shu to rest. We have to go out again tomorrow."
In fact, Cheng Zhen had already arranged for people to cut down trees and bamboo to build houses, and also arranged for people to dig a five-meter-wide trench outside the sisal area. Jiang Wan blinked and silently asked, "Where are we going? What are we going to do?"
"As you can see, we are lacking too much here. We can't count on Vermilion City. They've already been merciful by not setting up machine guns on the city walls to fire at us."
“I plan to go to Sanhe Town again. Since it’s a ghost town, there will definitely be supplies there.”
Jiang Wan raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself, "Maybe not. Since Sanhe Town is under the jurisdiction of Zhusha City, and the oxygen-deprived apocalypse has lasted for so long, would they leave those readily available supplies uncollected?"
But she didn't say anything at the moment. It was too early to talk about it now. In any case, she would go and see tomorrow.
She didn't live in the tent; she brought her twins in a motorhome.
This time, Cheng Zhen did not insist on living with them. Instead, she set up a tent next to her RV, and the five of them, including herself, Yu Fen, and Song Hui, squeezed into the tent.
Nevertheless, after Jiang Wan cooked dinner, she still invited him and Yu Fen to come up and have some.
After dinner, Cheng Zhen took the two children out for a walk, teaching them how to train their superpowers to become stronger. While the two children were exploring on their own, he pointed to the left and said to Jiang Wan, "The forest farm is built here. Look, isn't it a natural oxygen bar?"
Jiang Wan glanced at him, raised an eyebrow slightly, and gave him a meaningful look.
Isn't the location of this forest farm absolutely brilliant?
On the surface, it looks like a lush green hill, but underneath it is an abandoned cinnabar mine. However, the truly precious part is the Ω beneath the cinnabar mine.
With this, their forest farm will become a natural oxygen bar with a continuous supply!
Seeing that she understood, Cheng Zhen couldn't help but wink at her.
Forehead……
Jiang Wan instantly felt an electric current spread from her heart to her limbs and bones; this feeling was completely unfamiliar!
She forcibly suppressed this unfamiliar feeling and mumbled, "Don't be too happy yet. Omega isn't something you can just use as raw material; it needs to be processed!"
Cheng Zhen's initial smugness was instantly shattered. Damn it! How could he have forgotten such an important thing!
