That's the problem. The mutated plants made such a big commotion, but they couldn't detect even the slightest hint of mutation!
Not to mention Yu Fen, even Cheng Zhen could only shake his head: "Not here."
Cheng Zhen's men quickly arrived to provide support. It must be said that no matter how wildly these water hyacinths spread, they are indeed afraid of fire.
The residents of Yincheng Yazuo residential area had all gathered in the open space outside, surrounded by piles of water hyacinth stems that the city guards had killed, which were being burned.
The smoke and fumes mixed with the toxic air, causing people to cough. The burning took away the already insufficient oxygen in the air, making it difficult for many people to breathe and causing various physical discomforts. One after another, they collapsed to the ground.
Of these people, only Jiang Wan and the twins were quietly hiding in the RV, where there was plenty of oxygen and the air was fresh and non-toxic.
As the sun gradually rose, the twins woke up from another nap and both said they were hungry. Jiang Wan used the small kitchen in the RV to make them a simple breakfast.
Egg and vegetable noodles, and a glass of milk.
She had already drawn all the curtains around the RV to block out the outside view, but many people still knew that it was her RV and that she was living a comfortable life with her twins inside. They were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
Jiang Wan knew nothing about this and wasn't interested. She simply asked Jiang Xiaoxin softly, "You really didn't sense anything at all?"
After Jiang Xiaoxin finished eating and drinking, she carefully sensed the surroundings and then shook her head: "There are no mutated monsters!"
Still nothing? That's strange.
“Mom,” Jiang Xiaoxin suddenly said again, “I feel that they have normal vitality and are very tenacious.”
Jiang Wan was taken aback, then suddenly realized what was happening.
She yanked open the curtain of one of the car windows, wanting to call out to Cheng Zhen, but he was still far away.
As the fire raged all around her and the person with her struggled to breathe, the gaze directed at her seemed to be heading in the direction of losing her mind.
What is there that a person wouldn't do in the face of death!
Oops!
Jiang Wan immediately closed the curtains, climbed onto the bed, opened the skylight, and shouted towards Cheng Zhen in the distance, "Cheng Zhen! Stop! Stop burning them! These aren't mutated plants!"
Her voice immediately attracted everyone's attention, including Jiang Yushan and Miao Fengxian.
Their eyes were bloodshot and seemed to be breathing fire. They were devastated. They never expected their luck to be so bad. They finally managed to snag an oxygen storage room, but before they could even enjoy it, they were attacked by a large number of mutated plants. They were all desperately fighting for oxygen to survive. Only she, only she and her twins, were safe and sound inside the oxygen storage vehicle!
That's unfair!
This is so unfair!
Although Cheng Zhen was cutting the stems in the distance, he had been keeping an eye on her the whole time. As soon as he heard her words, he immediately turned around, stood by the car, and asked, "What are you talking about?"
The air here was so bad that even he couldn't help but feel discomfort in his trachea and lungs, and coughed violently several times.
"Quick! Put out the fire!" Jiang Wan didn't have time to explain, she could only state the worst-case scenario, "If it keeps burning, we'll all die!"
The water hyacinths seemed to be growing like crazy, endlessly, so they had to cut them down and burn them.
A small fire might not seem like a big deal, but if it gets big and keeps burning, it will consume all the remaining oxygen in the air!
Cheng Zhen was shocked. He gritted his teeth and felt a surge of anger, but he was also filled with self-reproach. He was so stupid to have fallen for the other party's trick!
Yu Fen, who was following him, was not so tactful. He jumped up and cursed, "Damn it! You dog! You damn bastard! You insidious, despicable, shameless villain!"
Hearing the crowd nearby, they immediately grabbed whatever fire-fighting tools they could find, as if grasping at a straw, to put out the fire!
Cheng Zhen ordered his subordinates to stop cutting down the stems and work together to put out the fire.
Even so, the air quality in the area remained very poor after the fire.
Many people felt unwell, but the water hyacinths around them, which had grown wildly and spread rapidly without the help of the city guards, prevented them from going out and breathing any fresher air.
Cheng Zhen asked, "You said they weren't mutated, so what's going on?"
"Someone is manipulating it. They must have added a high concentration of nutrient solution to make them grow like crazy in a short period of time!" Jiang Wan speculated. "The ones that entered the room through the water pipes must have mutated, but if you go looking for them now, they should all have disappeared."
The sole purpose of the indoor mutated water hyacinth is to force all residents of the community to gather in the open space outdoors!
"Have someone trace these water hyacinths to find the source; they should be able to find it. Let's cut off the nutrient solution first!"
Cheng Zhen understood, and Yu Fen volunteered: "I'll go!"
Since their target is them, and they want to trap Jiang Wan here, the problem must be in this area!
Sure enough, not long after, he found a dark green liquid in a small artificial pond outside the community, and he took a sample back with him.
Jiang Wan smelled it carefully and said, "I don't have any instruments on hand, so I can't tell for sure, but if I'm not mistaken, it is an ultra-concentrated nutrient solution."
Yu was furious, his hands clenched into fists, his anger uncontrollable, and he asked Cheng Zhen, "Captain! What do you suggest we do?!"
"Report it immediately, and report the truth." Cheng Zhen's face was also extremely ugly, but he was still able to control his anger.
If all of this was man-made.
He squinted his eyes. Ah, very good, this is getting more and more interesting!
Yu Fen accepted the order and left.
Cheng Zhen immediately ordered, "Go and drain the nutrient solution from the pool! Pack it all up and bring it back to camp!"
These are all pieces of evidence; they must be preserved!
But looking at the water hyacinth stems scattered all around him, whether they were cut or not, he was at a loss.
How can these problems be solved?
Burning is not allowed, as it will consume oxygen in the air.
Let them grow? Since they're noxious weeds, they'll definitely affect the survival of other creatures.
We chopped them all down and piled them here to ferment naturally.
That won't work either. Fermentation and decomposition both require oxygen and will release a lot of carbon dioxide, which will only make the human breathing environment worse!
The opponent's move was truly brilliant; he effortlessly cornered him!
groove!
"No need to rush."
Jiang Wan's calm and composed voice was like a cool mountain spring, gently soothing his agitated heart. "Water peanut, scientifically known as Alternanthera philoxeroides, is a noxious weed that can cause great damage to the local ecosystem after it invades, but it is also a treasure trove."
