They had never seen the people of Vermilion City come out to mine crystals on a large scale, nor had they seen many superhumans attack during the last time they repelled Qin Yuan's attack. They used only the most primitive and simple firearms of humankind!
They would rather expend the limited oxygen within the city's protective shield to fire their guns than use their superpowers, so there's only one possibility!
They don't have many superhumans! This matches his previous guess!
Cheng Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about why they would research a mutated zombie virus to infect humans and use it for their own purposes?"
Yu Fen and the others were stunned for a moment, then said incredulously, "Is it because they don't have any superhumans?"
Jiang Wan shook her head: "It should be said that they don't have enough superhumans."
“Yes.” Cheng Zhen’s narrowed eyes flashed with a sharp light as he said, “If I’m not mistaken, they lack superhumans to use, so they’ve resorted to unorthodox methods and created some mutated zombies to drive around.”
Yu Fen continued, "But unexpectedly, they ran into us halfway there, and we intercepted them. We killed all those zombies!"
He became more and more excited as he spoke, "Haha, what do you call this? Good and evil are rewarded accordingly! Hahaha, serves them right!"
Cheng Zhen kicked him: "What are you so smug about? They have the virus. We still need to be careful!"
Yu Fen dismissed it: "What's there to be afraid of? My sister-in-law has the antidote. Why should we be afraid of them?"
He made a good point, and Cheng Zhen couldn't help but smile slightly, but she quickly composed herself and warned him in a serious low voice, "Keep it low-key. What are you talking about?"
Yu Fen immediately realized that he had made a mistake by getting carried away, so he shut his mouth, made a zipping motion, and then stood quietly to the side.
Fortunately, everyone here is one of our own, so we don't have to worry about being overheard by others.
Although the citizens of Longxiang City knew that they possessed a good antidote that could effectively neutralize the mutated zombie virus or Qin Yuan's poison needles, they were unaware that this item belonged to Jiang Wan.
They assumed it was the work of that minor healer's descendant and Dr. Huang, and they were also warned that they must not tell anyone about the antidote they possessed, and that it must be kept absolutely secret.
Those who have survived near-death experiences all have an unwavering desire for help. Since they all belong to Longxiang City, the antidote is implicitly considered their own creation. They all want to be able to use the antidote when they encounter difficulties, so naturally they won't share it with people from other cities.
Cheng Zhen dismissed Yu Fen and the others, saying, "Have you finished your work? You think you can get food by standing here?"
Now everyone has to finish their work before they can receive their food. Upon hearing this, Yu Fen and the others immediately scattered like birds and beasts and went to work.
Jiang Wan entered the RV, ladled out the cooked shredded pork porridge, and then said to the twins, "Go ask your father if he wants to eat here?"
Now everyone in the city eats from the same pot, but she always cooks separately for the twins. Every meal, two meals a day, has an enticing aroma wafting out of the RV, always drawing the attention of hungry people outside who are eating porridge and cornbread.
Jiang Wan was also helpless. She had tried her best to avoid rich and heavy meals and to eat a light diet every day, but even plain rice porridge with minced meat, or even just a bowl of instant noodles, smelled more tempting than mixed grain porridge and always tempted people to commit crimes.
Ever since he discovered that someone was openly or secretly coveting the supplies on the RV, Cheng Zhen has been eating on the RV every day. With him, as the city lord, personally overseeing things, even if others are dissatisfied, they can't do anything openly.
So Jiang Xiaoxin opened the car door, stood at the door and called out. Cheng Zhen immediately snapped out of his thoughts, then took a long stride to the ground and pushed her into the car.
"Here you are, Xin Xin. You're such a sweet little girl to Daddy. You know you're worried Daddy's tummy is hungry, don't you?"
He spoke quite loudly, and after finishing speaking, he deliberately paused for a moment before closing the car door behind him.
Those who were secretly drooling over the faint aroma of meat outside the door swallowed hard upon hearing this and dispersed on their own.
What can you do if you're not convinced?
Would they dare to steal the city lord's food rations?
Do you dare to steal the food rations from the city lord's women and children?
So they dared to secretly inhale a few more puffs of smoke and smell the aroma to satisfy their cravings, which shouldn't be illegal, right?
Halfway through their meal, the twins had already filled their stomachs and then went to the sofa hand in hand to play with building blocks. Recently, Jiang Wan found a Lego puzzle among a pile of toys in the tree hole space and let them play with it. It hasn't been long, but the two children are already very excited.
Seeing that Jiang Wan still hadn't mentioned the plants, Cheng Zhen took the initiative to ask, "How are you planning to pay off your debts?"
Jiang Wan was taken aback: "I don't know either."
Seeing that she was avoiding the topic and giving perfunctory answers, Cheng Zhen had no choice but to ask more specifically: "Do you know what the punishment is?"
Jiang Wan herself was not sure and had not yet figured out what to say when her consciousness suddenly swept across the tree hole space, wanting to see the debt of negative 4950 gold coins. As a result, she suddenly saw something different.
On the shelf displaying the seeds of plant weapons, a white screen suddenly appeared, its bright white surface gleaming with golden light, making it impossible to miss.
Jiang Wan focused his mind and looked carefully, and saw lines of writing appearing on it.
"Given the devastating crisis facing plants in the current world, you are allowed to choose a world to challenge, find plants to exchange for gold coins. There are three types of worlds: the first challenge lasts for thirty days, corresponding to ten days in the current world; the second challenge lasts for ten days, corresponding to three days in the current world; and the third challenge lasts for three days, corresponding to six hours in the current world."
"Choosing the first or second world only allows you to take on the challenge alone; choosing the third world allows you to choose a companion."
Jiang Wan was dumbfounded. Had this activated another ability of the Tree Hole Space?
So far, the Tree Hole Space has combined four major functions: storage, divine medicine, plant weapons, and challenging the world, which has exceeded Jiang Wan's imagination.
Seeing her standing there blankly without saying a word, Cheng Zhen's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "What exactly is the punishment? Don't keep it to yourself, tell me so I can help you!"
Jiang Wan was shaken violently by him and finally came to her senses.
She immediately checked on the twins. Fortunately, although Cheng Zhen was worried about her safety, she knew to control her voice. The two little ones were huddled together playing with building blocks and did not notice what they were doing.
Turning around, she met Cheng Zhen's undisguised anxiety in his eyes, which were deep and tense, making her heart skip a beat.
