Jiang Wan didn't want to take Jiang Xiaoxin into danger. She was still too young and couldn't control her powers. If she kept sensing the thoughts of the mutated plants, she would break down.
But should we leave them alone in the camp?
Jiang Wan instinctively refused.
So she hesitated again, no longer wanting to go out of town with them to help identify plants. After all, even if these people didn't know much about wild plants, they would definitely recognize the most basic crops.
As long as the mission is completed and the supplies are brought back, that's fine.
Jiang Xiaoshu suddenly spoke up: "Mom, I'm here. I'll protect my little sister."
As he spoke, he firmly took his sister's hand.
To outsiders, it just looks like the twins want to go with their mother, making a promise in their innocent way!
Cheng Zhen said, "You can take them with you. Don't worry, I will definitely protect your safety."
Jiang Wan finally agreed, with the only condition being that they could drive her RV so that even if they reached the outskirts of the city, the two little ones wouldn't have to endure the elements.
Moreover, she can secretly give the two little ones extra food inside the RV with the door closed.
This operation outside the city was a joint operation between the first and second battalions of the outer city. An hour later, everyone was fully prepared and set off together.
It is worth mentioning that Yu Tongguang was also involved in this search for supplies outside the city, and five people were sent from the inner city camp.
Cheng Zhen and Yu Fen were both in the RV, conveniently located to protect Jiang Wan. Yu Fen was indignant and couldn't help but swear again: "Damn it! What is this bastard doing here? Does he want to supervise the army or something?"
Cheng Zhen curled the corners of his lips: "Be confident, there's no need for doubt."
The supervisors were there to prevent the soldiers from embezzling funds and secretly deducting from their own pockets in the outer city camps.
Yu Fen angrily pounded on the car window: "These bastards! They really underestimate us!"
He got so angry that he started using his local dialect.
Jiang Xiaoxin, standing behind him, reminded him, "Can you be a little more civilized? You've damaged my mom's car; she'll be heartbroken!"
Once you leave the city's protective barrier, continue north for about ten kilometers, and you'll find a vast expanse of farmland.
But before that, they need to cross a mountain.
However, the convoy stopped just three minutes after leaving the city's protective shield.
Cheng Zhen gestured with his chin toward Yu Fen: "Go and see what's going on?"
Yu Fen put on his gear, got off the vehicle, and quickly returned. Once back in the vehicle, he angrily threw down his oxygen mask.
The twins shuddered in fright. Jiang Wan sat on the sofa in the RV, holding one of them in each arm, and coldly reminded them, "Think carefully before you speak. If you can't say anything, get off."
Yu Fen felt even more aggrieved. Unable to vent his anger, he could only resort to a sobbing voice: "Boss, that bastard Yu Tongguang is here to cause trouble. What kind of time is this? He actually suggested taking the highway!"
All the highways leading out of Xiangcheng are built on elevated roads. Many of these elevated roads are as high as the mountains, and many more are halfway up the mountains. They are hundreds or thousands of meters above the ground. If they encounter mutated plants on the way, or if they happen to be trapped in mid-air, where can they escape to?
That was truly a desperate situation, with no one to turn to for help!
At this time, taking the national highway is actually the safest option!
As Yu Fen felt more grief and indignation, he cried out in anguish, "He's trying to kill us!"
Cheng Zhen also disagreed with taking the highway. Taking the national highway would allow them to observe the vegetation along the way, and what if there were wild vegetables? They could then dig them up along the way.
But before he could speak, Jiang Wan leaned over and patted him on the shoulder: "Excuse me, walkie-talkie."
Cheng Zhen assumed she wanted to ask something, so he gave it to her.
Jiang Wan took the package and opened it, saying directly, "I am Jiang Wan. I don't take the highway. Whoever wants to take it can take it."
There was silence on the other end of the walkie-talkie for several seconds, as if no one had expected her to suddenly speak.
Jiang Wan didn't expect a response. After speaking, she threw the walkie-talkie away and said to Cheng Zhen, "What are you standing there for? Call your men, we're taking the national highway."
Cheng Zhen's men naturally all listened to him.
So, after a few minutes, the people at the front who were still arguing noticed that things were starting to loosen in the middle of the group. Soon, one convoy broke away from the group and drove off in another direction.
It was Cheng Zhen's team that took the national highway.
Pingjiang, expressionless, nodded to Zhang Yu, the battalion commander of the first squad of the second battalion: "Farewell!"
In addition to digging for wild vegetables, finding food and supplies, and slaying monsters, their camp had another very important task—protecting the experts.
His convoy followed closely onto the national highway.
Yu Tongguang narrowed his eyes slightly. He also wanted to follow Jiang Wan, so he sent Cao Jin and the others to Zhang Yu's car and drove his military jeep to catch up.
Before they left, he instructed them: "You must set off quickly and get to Majiatun before them!"
The credit for finding food supplies will go to their inner city camp!
Zhang Yu disagreed with a dark face. When did he agree to take the highway?
He's not stupid; why would he risk his brothers' lives at this moment?
So he winked at his men, telling them to follow the comrades from the first battalion, while he took only five or six loyal brothers and a few idiots from the inner city onto the highway.
Almost as soon as she came out, Jiang Xiaoxin was nestled in her mother's arms. She could hear the inner voices of many mutated plants, and she couldn't help but tremble, whispering, "Mommy, I'm scared!"
At this moment, the little girl finally understood what regret felt like.
Fortunately, Jiang Xiaoshu stayed by her side the whole time. With her brother protecting his sister, there weren't any major problems.
Jiang Wan felt sorry for them, considering how hard it was for them at such a young age, and took out a lot of snacks from the tree hole space that she usually controlled from giving them: "Eat if you want."
The two little ones suddenly felt like crying, sob sob, this trip was totally worth it!
Yu Fen turned around casually, extremely surprised: "Huh? Expert, you have a lot of stock in your car?"
"Hmm." Jiang Wan glanced at him indifferently. "Want to eat?"
Yu Fen wanted to eat it, he was really craving it, but when he met her "you want some but I won't give it to you" look, he silently turned away, touched his nose, and said, "I don't want any, thank you."
The silly girl even had the leisure to declare her opinion: "This is for children, you are too old to eat it."
Yu Fen, who is three years younger than Cheng Zhen, was shocked. He's old? They actually said he's old?
He suddenly pulled down the vanity mirror in the car and started looking at himself closely. He didn't look that old! Where was he old?!
"Stop messing around, something's up!" Cheng Zhen suddenly spoke up, slowly slowing down the car and cautiously looking around.
He had a gut feeling that something was wrong with this area.
"Something?" Yu Fen instantly became serious, put on all his equipment, and quickly prepared to get off the vehicle and kill monsters at any time.
Cheng Zhen paused for two seconds, then suddenly stepped on the gas pedal and turned on the radio, shouting, "Go!"
Almost the next second, a humanoid monster suddenly rushed out from both sides of the road, covered in spikes, and charged straight toward the convoy, frantically releasing spikes at it.
