"careful!"
Cheng Zhen shielded Jiang Wan, rolled on the spot, and used the wall as cover to avoid another round of attacks from the dodder stem.
Perhaps sensing Jiang Wan's intention to kill them, the dodder, which had originally only been binding people, finally revealed its bloodthirsty and murderous fangs.
Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Jiang Wan gritted her teeth, put the potion into her backpack, and actually sent it directly into the tree hole space under cover of darkness. Then she rushed to the twins, picked one up in each hand, and rushed out.
"Damn it!" Seeing that she had once again disregarded everything and put everyone in danger, Pingjiang was furious.
Without saying a word, Cheng Zhen followed immediately, protecting her from behind and shielding her from wave after wave of stamens that were meant to take her life.
Yu Fen and his other loyal subordinates followed closely behind.
As soon as they left, or rather, as soon as Jiang Wan left, those mutated, bloodthirsty stems also left, and Pingjiang instantly calmed down.
One of his subordinates asked, "Captain, should we give chase?"
"Chase them!" Pingjiang ordered, enunciating each word clearly. "Protect the experts!"
Jiang Xiaoxin whispered a few words into her mother's ear.
Jiang Wan didn't stop and headed straight for the botanical garden behind Xiangcheng University.
The road was filled with the stems of dodder, but with Cheng Zhen protecting her and clearing the way with his lightsaber, Jiang Xiaoshu didn't have a single chance to use her superpowers!
The roof of the botanical garden had been torn open by dodder. In a corner, a small clump of broad beans was tightly wrapped by dodder. The green plants looked like they were dying, but the dodder was full of life. The moment Jiang Wan and the others approached, it opened up countless stems and thorns and stabbed down at her.
Cheng Zhen shielded her from the attack. Jiang Wan put the twins down, reached into her bag, and took out a prepared potent herbicide from the tree hole space. Without turning her head, she said, "Cover me!"
She was naturally referring to Cheng Zhen and the city guards.
But the next second, Jiang Xiaoshu's small body sprang out like a cannonball, trying her best to keep up with her mother by taking steps with her short legs!
Fortunately, the distance wasn't far, only a dozen meters. As soon as Jiang Wan arrived, she immediately poured all the medicine in her hand onto the roots of the broad beans.
This agent is deadly to dodder and extremely harmful to broad bean plants. Once the agent takes effect, you can clearly feel countless yellow stems trembling in the air, struggling and shaking violently.
Meanwhile, above Xiangcheng University, the tightly wrapped, sky-obscuring stems were constantly loosening, and then withering and dying at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It really worked!
Jiang Wan let out a long sigh of relief. Exhausted, she collapsed to the ground. She hugged Jiang Xiaoshu tightly, still feeling lingering fear, but she couldn't bear to say a single word to him.
He only whispered a reminder: "You can't do that again."
Jiang Xiaoshu was a man of few words and didn't say anything at the moment, but Jiang Xiaoxin came running over and gave him a thumbs up in a silly manner: "Brother is awesome!"
Both mother and son were afraid she would reveal the truth and bring up the purification ability the next second, so they quickly changed the subject: "Is Xin Xin scared?"
"Little sister, your arms are short, it doesn't look good to hold your thumb up."
Jiang Xiaoxin shook her head first and said, "Xinxin isn't afraid!"
Then, pouting, she retorted to her brother, quite displeased, "My hands aren't ugly! Little Xuanxuan said they're called cute!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the little girl's attention wandered even further: "Mom, how is Xiao Xuanxuan doing now?"
Jiang Wan readily agreed, saying, "Mom will ask around for you next time?"
"Okay, Mom, can I borrow your phone for a second? I need to call Xiaoxuan."
Jiang Wan readily agreed, took out her phone, and handed it to her.
Finally, they managed to divert the silly girl's attention. The mother and son exchanged a glance, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled at each other because they had protected the same secret.
Cheng Zhen led his men to clear a path, and when he turned back, he saw this scene. He felt that something was different between the mother and son, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He also felt a bit depressed and uncomfortable.
“What should we do with these?” he asked.
The stems of the dodder plants have all withered and died, but their bodies are still there, and disposing of them is quite a task.
Jiang Wan thought for a moment and said, "Have the school dig a hole and bury them. We can't let them rot and decompose in the air, as that will consume oxygen."
When buried underground, it relies more on microbial decomposition, which consumes far less oxygen.
The mutated dodder was strangled, and all the students and faculty members who had been trapped inside were released, bringing the entire university town back to life.
Jiang Wan and the others went to the laboratory building, while Cheng Zhen went to see the school leaders. Upon hearing that they wanted to requisition the laboratory equipment, the principal immediately looked troubled: "This is our school's teaching equipment, and we only have this one set..."
“But you don’t have any professors specializing in this area right now.” Jiang Wan knew Principal Tang, but they had never interacted before.
"Leaving this equipment here will only make it a tool for you to harm society."
Principal Tang's expression hardened: "This lady needs to provide evidence before she speaks!"
Jiang Wan took a few steps forward, gesturing for him to look inside: "They are the evidence, without professional guidance,"
As she spoke, she paused suddenly and added,
"Or rather, it was under the deliberate guidance of someone with ulterior motives that the dodder mutation at your Xiangcheng University was successfully created today. If these city guards hadn't arrived in time, you would probably all have lost your lives here!"
"It doesn't matter if you die, but the mutated dodder will sweep through the entire human society. At that time, you will be the sinners of the whole world!"
"You...you mean, them?" Principal Tang approached and was shocked and could hardly believe that his school's students were the instigators of this almost devastating disaster.
“It’s not me saying it, they admitted it themselves.” Jiang Wan turned around deftly, slightly raising her chin, her gaze sweeping over the dozens of city guards standing behind her. “They all heard it too.”
"If Principal Tang doesn't believe me, he can ask them."
Principal Tang's face twitched slightly. These were all city guards. Although he was the principal of Xiangcheng University, he had no right to interrogate the city guards! He wasn't asking for trouble!
Pingjiang glanced at him, then said expressionlessly and deliberately, "No need to ask us. This is a laboratory with surveillance cameras. Just pull them up and you'll see everything."
Cheng Zhen took a step closer to him: "Let's go, where's the monitoring room? The sooner we finish watching, the sooner we can go back and hand in our mission!"
The mission implies that the requisition of equipment is a decision made by the camp.
Principal Tang was sweating profusely and finally had to give in.
He agreed, but the botany students disagreed. They had somehow gotten wind of the incident and, having just escaped death, immediately gathered in front of the laboratory building to protest: "These are our school's instruments; they can't be taken away by them!"
