Cheng Zhen gave a cool and arrogant sneer: "Who do you think you are to order me around?"
Yu Tongguang's eyes hardened, and he consciously commanded more than a dozen iron swords to attack Cheng Zhen from different directions.
Cheng Zhen teleported instantly, dodging the attack range of the iron arrows, and then a wave of light struck the sword in mid-air, knocking them all down.
He showed no mercy this time, knocking Yu Tongguang's sword away and greatly shocking his own consciousness, causing him to turn deathly pale.
But he did not back down, insisting that the first task was to find food and supplies, and he could not take away an entire squad of superhumans just to save two people!
Yu Fen was furious: "Now you're clinging to us like glue? Why didn't you think highly of us before? Bah!"
"The hostages inside aren't your brothers, but brothers from our First Battalion! We're heading into the mountains, which is fraught with danger, while you're just going to the farmland. You have so many men, yet you're acting like cowards. Yu Tongguang, it's not that I look down on you, but you're truly trash!"
No matter how bad Yu Tongguang was, he was still a captain. Could he tolerate Yu Fen scolding him like that?
He's no match for Cheng Zhen, so how could he possibly be no match for a mere Yu Fen?
His gaze turned cold, his mind focused, and the iron sword on the ground flew up again, carrying a sharp killing intent, heading straight for Yu Fen.
Yu Fen leaped away, dodging the attack of the iron sword.
Just then, Jiang Wan led the twins toward them, and Tie Jian, having lost his target, went straight toward Jiang Wan and the twins.
"careful!"
"expert!"
The people around gasped in surprise.
Cheng Zhen's pupils dilated violently. The next second, he focused his mind and applied pressure, and the iron sword stopped and fell three meters in front of Jiang Wan.
This distance was not even within Jiang Xiaoshu's purification range.
He couldn't help but look up at his mother, then shook his head; this wasn't his special ability.
But he could sense that someone had used purification abilities.
At the same time, Cheng Zhen leaped up and delivered a powerful punch to Yu Tongguang's face: "What the hell are you doing! Didn't you see Jiang Wan and the others coming?!"
The murderous intent in Yu Tongguang's eyes flashed and disappeared in an instant. He barely avoided Cheng Zhen's fatal blow, but he still took a heavy punch to the side of his face, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. He reached out and wiped it away.
Then he pushed Cheng Zhen aside, walked towards Jiang Wan, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't see you coming over for a moment. Were you scared?"
Jiang Wan said expressionlessly, "You scared me, not just me, but also my two children."
The twins nodded in unison, and Jiang Xiaoxin even cried out dramatically, "You're a bad person! You were just trying to kill us!"
Yu Tongguang immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it, I swear!"
Jiang Wan had no intention of wasting time with him, so she walked over to Cheng Zhen and asked, "Aren't you leaving?"
Just as Cheng Zhen was about to speak, Yu Tongguang added, "We can't leave."
This time, he didn't come alone to stop them. Instead, he stood in front of the Second Battalion's troops and said, "If you want to take away all the superhumans in the company, you have to ask everyone if they agree!"
Someone from the Second Battalion began hesitantly, "Didn't we agree to cooperate? Now that all the superhumans are gone, we might not even make it to the grain fields..."
They were just ordinary people. It wasn't that they were afraid of death, but that they had no chance of winning in this wild environment full of mutated plants!
Cheng Zhen hesitated as expected. He really didn't expect the Second Camp to be so stingy, sending only a few ability users, and the inner city camp had even fewer!
groove!
In the end, the main force of this operation was actually their own First Battalion!
And so it is again, all the hard, tiring, and deadly work is done by their battalion!
Jiang Wan suddenly asked curiously, "What are you arguing about?"
She asked Cheng Zhen, "How many people are you taking into the mountains?"
Cheng Zhen originally intended to take his entire squadron of brothers with him, but Jiang Wan guessed that and said, "No need for so many. You and Yu Fen come with me. The rest of you can go do whatever you need to do."
"Just the two of us? Are you sure?"
Cheng Zhen and Yu Fen asked in surprise at the same time.
The others were also incredulous. Was this woman crazy? Didn't she know how dangerous it was in the mountains?
Jiang Wan nodded calmly: "Yes, you, and us."
She pointed to herself and the twins.
Cheng Zhen's gaze became even more complicated. Yu Fen knew that she was worried about the two children, so he suggested, "Why don't you tell us the characteristics of the metasequoia tree and we can go into the mountains? It's too dangerous for you to take the two children with you."
“There are some situations you can’t handle. Identifying the wrong one is a waste of time. I’d rather go with you directly.”
As for the twins, she would absolutely not feel at ease if they weren't under her watchful eye, especially with someone like Yu Tongguang in the team.
Yu Tongguang's gaze swept over her and the twins with interest, then he pointed at Cheng Zhen and asked her, "You trust him so much, but you don't trust me?"
Jiang Wan replied directly, "What do you have that I can trust, just because you just tried to kill me?"
Yu Tongguang's expression changed drastically, and then he put on a heartbroken look and swore to the heavens, "I really didn't mean to just now."
"A mistaken killing is still killing. I'm the kind of person who only cares about the outcome."
After Jiang Wan finished speaking, she led the two children into the woods. Seeing that Cheng Zhen and Yu Fen were still hesitating, she said, "What? Don't you want to go? It's your brothers who were arrested inside, it has nothing to do with me."
The implication was that she didn't care whether she went or not; if they didn't move, she wouldn't go either.
"Let's go." Cheng Zhen hesitated for only a moment before giving Yu Fen a push.
Jiang Wan reminded them: "Bring water, food, and oxygen cylinders."
So Cheng Zhen carried water and dry food, while Yu Fen carried oxygen cylinders, enough for the group for three days.
They were almost inside the woods when Yu Tongguang suddenly called out from behind, "Cheng Zhen, congratulations! You've gained another new superpower!"
Only a few people know that Cheng Zhen's superpower is a replication ability. As long as someone he comes into contact with has a superpower and has demonstrated it in front of him, he can acquire that person's superpower. Yu Tongguang is one of them.
Just now, Cheng Zhen effortlessly purified the supernatural power of his iron sword, a power he only acquired today, and Yu Tongguang found out.
Moreover, his target was Jiang Wan, because when she rushed in to save Cheng Zhen, the mutated metasequoia behaved very strangely.
Yu Fen, however, was completely unaware of this and thought that his boss's superpower had broken through once again. He happily said, "Did your injury today actually stimulate your potential? Hey, so we actually turned misfortune into blessing?"
Cheng Zhen remained expressionless and led the way.
Jiang Xiaoxin was naive and simple-minded; going into the mountains was like a picnic for her, and everything was new and exciting to her.
Only Jiang Wan and Jiang Xiaoshu, mother and son, exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
Jiang Xiaoxin chattered incessantly the whole way, talking about her mother this and that, which gave the three adults a headache.
In addition, they were so focused on finding the dawn redwood tree that they didn't notice the rustling sounds following them all the way.
