The man was tall and thin with dark skin, and looked to be in good spirits. He shouted as he rushed toward them, disregarding the danger. He held a wooden board in one hand for protection and a kitchen knife in the other.
The design is somewhat bizarre.
The mutated cactus's body was destroyed by Yu Fen's light waves, but new ones quickly grew back.
Yu Fen couldn't get close, and he didn't have any water-based abilities, so he was completely overwhelmed. Seeing this person charging around recklessly, he couldn't help but grab him angrily: "What's wrong with you? Can't you see this thing has mutated? Are you looking to die?"
Sun Sanhai squatted on the ground, holding up the wooden plank, trying his best to hide his entire body behind it, and said urgently:
"This is a cactus! It has medicinal value! I just saw a patient who needs it! You can't smash it all up, otherwise it won't be usable!"
Yu Fen looked at him as if he were a lunatic: "Are you kidding me? It's mutated!"
Using it to treat people? Aren't you afraid of causing them to mutate as well?
Sun Sanhai suddenly realized: "Oh! Right! You're right!"
"I'll go look somewhere else!"
He mumbled incoherently, remaining in the position of holding the wooden board, and then left.
Jiang Wan's gaze unconsciously followed him, and she saw him throw away the plank, squat down, pick up a child from the roadside, and quickly walk away.
This child...
Does it look familiar?
The mutated plant is quite aggressive, and its growth is extremely rapid.
Yu Fen couldn't handle it alone, so he said to Yu Yuan, "Drive away quickly! Go call for reinforcements!"
If the people in the inner city camp find out that Jiang Wan secretly entered the city, they might try to kidnap him!
Yu Yuan was merely a physical-type ability user, and he had no advantage whatsoever against these mutated plants. Without the slightest hesitation, he shouted through the window, "Hold on! Be careful! Play it by ear!"
They drove off quickly.
As for asking for help, we can only leave it to the local residents to make the calls. They are from the outer city barracks, and there is a difference between the inner and outer areas. We can't overstep our bounds and do it for them!
Not long after Jiang Wan and the others returned to the outer city camp, Yu Fen also came back. He was panting heavily from exhaustion. As soon as he got back, he wanted to drink water and eat, but when he thought that the water pipes were most likely to contain sewage, he immediately wilted.
Like a bonfire after a great fire, with a wisp of smoke remaining.
Jiang Wan handed him a bottle of water: "Drink this, it's clean."
Yu Fen was overjoyed and quickly accepted the gift with both hands: "Thank you, expert!"
Then I unscrewed the cap and gulped it down in one go, and only then did I feel like I was alive again.
Jiang Wan said calmly, "No need to thank me, I'll pay you back later."
Yu Fen looked at her, then at the empty water bottle in his hand, and felt that something was not right.
As they were talking about the cactus mutation, Jiang Wan said, "Actually, if you see cacti in the future, you might as well pick more and bring them back. Their flesh can be eaten or used as animal feed."
That madman previously said that medicine could be used.
"Moreover, using cactus meat as feed can reduce the amount of water we need. Our water supply will only become more and more scarce in the future, so every little bit we can reduce consumption is a good thing."
Yu Fen's eyes lit up when he heard this. So this prickly thing had such a use!
Then it dawned on me: "Are you really sure there's something wrong with our water system?"
Jiang Wan gave him one look: "You can doubt me, but you can't doubt my professional judgment." She glanced at him indifferently and said, "You'll know when your captain comes back."
Cheng Zhen returned quickly, looking extremely pale: "The city's water system has indeed been extensively damaged!"
He couldn't help but curse, "Those bunch of good-for-nothings, if I hadn't gone to ask them, they wouldn't even know what happened!"
When he saw the mutated water peanuts invade and destroy the main water system of the entire Xiangcheng, he felt like killing them!
They were unaware of the problem with the main city's water system, so naturally they couldn't possibly be concerned about the water supply to the camps outside the city.
Old Chen remained silent for a long time with a sullen face before entering his office. A moment later, the sound of him making a phone call, suppressing his anger, could be heard.
No sooner had they finished speaking than Yu Tongguang arrived with half a truckload of supplies.
To be precise, there was only a small half-truckload of goods: five cases of bottled water, some rice, flour, cooking oil, and meat, no vegetables, a few wilted fruits, and mostly compressed biscuits, which even came in different flavors.
Yu Tongguang smiled and handed her one: "This is strawberry flavored. It really tastes like strawberries, not made with artificial flavoring. It's delicious. Try it."
Jiang Wan only glanced at it before losing interest, her eyelids drooping as she told the others to unload the goods.
Even a mosquito's leg is still meat, so why not take it if it's free?
Yu Tongguang magically produced a bouquet of flowers from the driver's seat—truly beautiful and vibrant roses!
Everyone was taken aback, including Jiang Wan.
“On my way here, I saw these flowers and thought they looked beautiful, so I picked them for you. Look at this camp, it's all yellow earth, not a single patch of green. After a while, you'll definitely get visually fatigued. Put these flowers in your room, and when you're tired, just look at them, and it'll definitely lift your spirits.”
That shows great thoughtfulness.
Jiang Wan didn't accept the flowers, but said, "You're very thoughtful. Instead of wasting your time, you should bring more supplies."
Yu Tongguang expressed his deep apologies: "Now the plants in the inner city are mutating more and more. Our comrades are working very hard, and these supplies are all saved by everyone."
He thought that if he said that, Jiang Wan would at least express her gratitude and then decline, or at the very least, show a surprised expression, right?
However, she only nodded throughout and said, "This is not much, just enough for a day or two. Remember to send it over again later. Using your brain consumes sugar, so you can't go hungry."
Yu Tongguang held back for a long time before he managed to refrain from making a public slap or change his expression.
She turned her head and saw Cheng Zhen staring at the bouquet of flowers with a strange expression, so she asked in surprise, "What? Have these flowers mutated?"
Cheng Zhen looked up at her: "No."
"You like it?"
Cheng Zhen: ...
I simply find it unpleasant to look at.
There are many people who don't like him, and Yu Fen is one of them.
What does it mean that their experts from the inner city camp are trying to curry favor with them?
They only sent half a truckload of supplies; that's incredibly stingy!
He took the bouquet, took an exaggerated sniff, and then declared emphatically:
"This flower is not suitable for our experts. It's too flashy and will distract them from their research! It's also not suitable for the room because Xin Xin and Xiao Shu are too young and are prone to pollen allergies."
"Let's just put it in our dorm room. It'll help get rid of the smell of us rough guys!"
Everyone teased and joked with him, unanimously agreeing with his decision.
Cheng Zhen found this kid today to be particularly pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Wan assumed he genuinely liked the flower, so of course she had no objections. After dismissing Yu Tongguang, who left with a dark expression, she turned and went into the laboratory. A moment later, Cheng Zhen followed her in.
She asked in surprise, "What do you want?"
