Cheng Zhen remained silent and did not respond, so Cheng Wenshan laughed: "What are you afraid of? Actually, our cooperation is very simple. It's about strengthening our power and then defeating the ruling forces of Longcheng."
Cheng Zhen suddenly smiled: "Your so-called cooperation is just asking us to provide you with a place of refuge, right? I only see our efforts, so what is your return to us?"
Cheng Wenshan smiled leisurely: "I can lead you straight to the heart of the enemy!"
No one in this world knows the secret of Dragon City except me. Without me, your uprising is destined to be a suppressed rebellion, and then disappear in this abnormal, oxygen-deprived apocalypse.
When there are no more humans on this planet, who will remember your valiant resistance? You'll just be a handful of dust, scattered by the wind. Isn't that pathetic?
Cheng Zhen inadvertently opened a portal to another dimension, reaching out to pull him face-to-face.
"You think I'll be at your mercy just because you say that? You're dreaming! We do need to survive in this oxygen-deprived apocalypse for a long time, but I will never cooperate with a treacherous person like you!"
Cheng Wenshan was surprised by his reaction, but not afraid. He smiled leisurely and asked, "Are you sure you want to refuse?"
"I don't cooperate with petty people."
Cheng Zhen's attitude was very firm.
Cheng Wenshan's expression finally stiffened a little. He stared at Cheng Zhen with a sinister look, then curled his lips into a cold smile: "I said, I was discussing cooperation with Jiang Wan, not you. You have no right to speak on her behalf."
Cheng Zhen had no intention of letting him pester Jiang Wan, and directly refused: "She is just a woman, and just an ordinary botany expert. She is not interested in your schemes and tricks."
"You are not her, how can you make decisions for her?"
"I think any normal person wouldn't cooperate with you. You're not welcome here, so get out of here!"
Cheng Zhen immediately ordered him to leave, instructing Yu Fen and the others to get rid of him.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Cheng Wenshan did not press him further. Standing on the wall, he gave a cold snort and then disappeared into the wilderness.
When Yu Fen returned, he couldn't help but gossip: "How did he survive all alone in the wild? Did you see that he wasn't wearing an oxygen mask at all?"
"Just like those Qinyuan and Xingxing, it seems they can breathe and live without needing oxygen."
Cheng Zhen noticed it too. He stared at the direction where Cheng Wenshan had disappeared, his eyes narrowed as if deep in thought.
"Boss, we refused to cooperate with him. Do you think he might go to other cities and collude with them?"
He had just heard that, besides Longxiang City and Zhusha City, other cities had survived.
Even without him saying it, they all knew that it was impossible for them to be the only ones still alive in this world.
There must be other city forces involved, but it's unclear whether those cities are aligned with Dragon City or are acting in the same direction as them.
Cheng Zhen paused for a moment, then asked him to summon Long Wanzhi, Song Hui, and other key leaders of the city's defense forces: "We blew up Longcheng's helicopter today. What does that mean? I don't need to explain, I'm sure you all know."
Long Wanzhi and the others looked very serious. After listening to him, they all nodded in unison: "We understand."
Given the circumstances at the time, they would have chosen to blow up the helicopter to protect themselves if given the chance again, so no one would blame him for leading everyone to stand on the opposite side of Dragon City.
Cheng Zhen's expression grew increasingly serious: "Therefore, we must now arm ourselves, strengthen our forces, and be ready at all times."
Their enemies are not only mutated plants, zombies, and monsters, but also forces from Dragon City.
From what Cheng Wenshan said, the strength of Longcheng was unknown, but one thing was certain: they were extremely powerful.
Long Wanzhi and the others immediately responded: "No problem. From now on, we will strengthen our training and enhance our combat capabilities."
Cheng Zhen also instructed Jiang Wan: "Put away all the surviving plant weapons."
Jiang Wan had already prepared this without him having to say it.
While these plant weapons aren't worth much individually, purchasing them in bulk still requires a lot of gold coins.
However, gold coins require a large number of plants to exchange, which is actually quite difficult for her.
Of course, she would make the most of everything. The Ice Archer was already destroyed anyway, and the Potato Archer and Corn Shooter only lost one-tenth of their value. The rest were all transplanted into flower pots and stored in the tree hole space.
Seeing that she had made arrangements in advance, Cheng Zhen was about to leave when Jiang Xiaoxin called out to her: "Are you looking for the arsenal in Zhusha City? I can help you!"
Cheng Zhen asked curiously, "What can Xin Xin do to help? Do you know where their arsenal is?"
He already knew this, but there was a formation there, and the entrance had definitely been changed by Zhang Hao, so he couldn't get in for the time being.
Jiang Xiaoxin was a little smug: "I not only know the exact address, but I also know how to get in."
Cheng Zhen's eyes lit up: "You know his entrance, how did you know?"
"Of course I have my own ways of finding out."
Actually, it was before the mutated rose assistants' vines had retreated in time that they saw Zhang Hao ordering the entrance to be changed. They saw it all clearly and then came back and told Zhang Xiaoxin.
Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, Cheng Zhen couldn't help but reach out and pat her head, praising her, "Our Xin Xin is so amazing! It's perfect that you knew the entrance; it saved me so much effort!"
"Could Xinxin secretly tell me where the entrance is?"
"Sure, but I have conditions."
"Tell me if I can do it," Cheng Zhen said with a smile, teasing her gently.
Jiang Xiaoxin pouted arrogantly: "I haven't thought of what I need you to do yet. I'll owe you for now, and I'll tell you when I think of something."
Cheng Zhen laughed heartily, happy to play along. Once he had made the little girl laugh, he then seriously coaxed her into telling him about the entrance to the military factory.
Now that they know the location of the entrance, the military factory in Zhusha City is practically theirs for the taking, so there's no need to rush.
Cheng Zhen looked at Jiang Wan: "How are you going to complete your mission this time?"
Jiang Wan had been busy storing the plant weapons in her spatial storage and, to be honest, hadn't really thought about this issue much. It wasn't until he asked her that she took it seriously and said after thinking for a moment, "With so many changes happening here, let's choose the option that takes the shortest time."
In other words, three days in the small world is half a day here.
Cheng Zhen nodded and instructed, "Then you get ready, and I'll go arrange things too. We'll leave tonight."
