Chapter 357 The Truth Behind the Death of the Plant Expert
Good heavens, this person is actually the president's son, and thinking about it further, she is actually the president's niece!
Jiang Wan was unable to process the news for a moment and stood there dumbfounded.
Then it makes sense that these people came to rescue her. After all, they are relatives with some blood ties, and she is at least a human being. At this time, mutual help among humans is the most important role model that a government should play.
She was silently processing this information, and Chu Yuntian gave her ample time. He didn't interrupt her, but he didn't leave either. After a long while, Jiang Wan finally composed herself and asked him, "President, he...?"
Chu Yuntian remained expressionless and cold, and after a long while, he nodded at her: "He has already sacrificed himself."
Jiang Wan paused for a moment, then calmly told him to take care of himself.
How did you recognize me?
She had never had any contact with anyone in Longcheng since birth, and she believed that her mother would not have revealed her information to them. So how did they recognize her as Chu Xiulin's daughter?
To be honest, these news were quite shocking. Although she had processed them, she still couldn't believe her own identity.
From childhood to adulthood, she always thought she was just an ordinary person. When the oxygen-deficient apocalypse arrived and she became a superhuman, she was quite shocked. This was probably the most outrageous thing, but she didn't expect that something even more outrageous was yet to come.
Chu Yuntian's gaze swept over her face: "You look a lot like your aunt."
"Moreover, we have your information. Although you escaped back then, your identity information has been uploaded to us. So it's not that your mother protected you too well, making it impossible for us to do anything, but rather that my father gave you an order to be lenient."
Jiang Wan was completely confused: "What happened back then? What happened back then?"
Chu Yuntian opened his mouth, then realized that she probably hadn't regained her memories yet, so he didn't say anything more and continued speaking directly:
"Looking back now, Father's decisions were all right. You were very lucky. After the oxygen-deficient apocalypse came, all the botanists were killed by the robots, and only you survived."
Jiang Wan was even more shocked; so this was the reason why those plant experts died.
Why would they do this? What good would an oxygen-deprived apocalypse do to them?
Chu Yuntian sneered: "They are robots. They don't need to breathe at all, let alone oxygen. In fact, an oxygen-rich environment is even more detrimental to them."
The outside world has no oxygen, so we humans are forced to live in cities, unable to escape, which allows them to do whatever they want.
Jiang Wan still felt something was off; there was something they hadn't considered.
But for a moment, she couldn't figure it out, and then asked, "Is there any way to get out of the city? Or to contact people outside the city?"
Chu Yuntian shook his head: "No, they have controlled all the world's communication systems, and no signals can be sent out."
Jiang Wan was getting anxious. She couldn't get in touch with Cheng Zhen and didn't know what extreme things they might do.
"So..." she asked, "what are your plans?"
After all, he was the son of a former president. Now that the president is dead, they should at least think of a way out.
Chu Yuntian's expression was resolute, and his voice was firm: "This is now a purgatory for humanity, and we must overthrow the tyranny of the robots."
Jiang Wan nodded. That was for sure. Humans had dominated civilization in this world for thousands of years. How could a bunch of robots point fingers and act arrogantly in front of them now?
Besides, robots are developed, researched, designed and produced by humans. Now they are being used to pat humans on the back. How can they bear this?
Jiang Wan expressed its support: "What are your plans now?"
Her thinking was rather simple: if humanity could regain power sooner, she could leave the city to find Cheng Zhen and the twins.
Chu Yuntian's expression was somewhat grim. For the first time since they met, he showed a troubled and weary look: "Their strength is formidable. This matter requires careful consideration and meticulous planning."
Jiang Wan sensed helplessness and weakness in his voice. He had a desire to overthrow the robot tyranny, but he probably lacked the strength to do so.
Thinking about it this way, what they were going to do was actually quite similar to Cheng Wenshan's previous plan. She thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know Cheng Wenshan?"
Chu Yuntian shook his head: "Who is he?"
Jiang Wan opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Actually, we should try to make contact with the outside world. I have a friend who is very powerful. He also has a city guard force. If you can get his help, I think the chances of winning are very high."
Cheng Zhen's actions in Zhusha City were probably already known to the Dragon City authorities, even without her saying so. It was no use for her to try to hide it.
Although it was the first time she had met Chu Yuntian, he didn't seem like a bad person. Besides, if he were capable of harming Cheng Zhen, he wouldn't be trapped in the underground of Dragon City now.
Chu Yuntian understood: "You mean Cheng Zhen, right?"
Jiang Wan was initially surprised, but considering Cheng Zhen's past high-profile personality and strength, it wasn't surprising that Longcheng knew about him.
"Yes, it's him. To be honest, I was tricked into coming here by Lian Chuan. Before this, we didn't know what had happened in Longcheng. We met a man named Cheng Wenshan. He seemed to know what crisis Longcheng was facing and tried to join forces with us several times."
"Cheng Wenshan?" Chu Yuntian thought carefully, but still couldn't recall it.
"What has become of the outside world?" Chu Yuntian asked.
Jiang Wan was quite puzzled: "None of you have ever left the city?"
"No."
"Since the apocalypse of oxygen deficiency, where have you gotten your crystals and basic supplies?"
Chu Yuntian's eyes darkened: "Our supplies and oxygen reserves are quite abundant. Even if we do nothing, these supplies are enough for Dragon City to use for 50 years. As for the crystals..."
As he spoke, a sinister expression flashed across his face: "The crystals are the energy reservoirs for us superhumans; the robots will never allow us to access them."
Jiang Wan had been thinking about whether she could sneak away while working outside the city, but now it seems that this option is also not feasible.
She twitched her lips, but still told him about the outside world: "Now all the plants in the wild have mutated, and the mutation is even more terrifying than before. They have become monsters. But many animals that can survive without oxygen have also appeared in the wild. They can coexist peacefully with mutated plants, zombies, and so on."
