Chapter 184 A Significant Gain (Part 5)



That's my intuition.

Cheng Zhen shook his head. Nothing is certain yet, so it's hard to say.

Jiang Wan hesitated whether to give him the crystal: "Then you..."

Cheng Zhen winked at her, then suddenly smiled and said, "I'm not stupid. I wouldn't do something I know is impossible."

He took the crystals and exclaimed, "They're all top-quality. It's really kind of Old Chen to be so generous this time, giving away so many at once."

Normally, he would be stingy and unwilling to take out such top-quality items.

"Ah!" Jiang Wan suddenly slapped her forehead, almost forgetting, "Old Chen said you should bring Song Hui over so he can help you. The crystal for building the energy shield is also in his hands."

Cheng Zhen chuckled and shook his head. Yu Fen suddenly interjected from behind, "This is indeed Old Chen's style. Knowing that neither you nor I might listen to him, why not just send a military governor over?"

"Tsk! He shouldn't have sent Song Hui. Everyone knows Song Hui is our boss's most loyal subject. The choice for military governor should definitely be Pingjiang!"

After receiving a kick from Cheng Zhen, he couldn't help but mutter to his brothers, "We're subject to ability level restrictions? How come we've never heard of that before?"

Everyone shook their heads; indeed, no one had ever heard of it.

Cheng Zhen tried it out, and after his energy recovered slightly, he opened the portal and brought Song Hui over.

Song Hui was also terrified by the zombies swarming from all directions: "How can there be so many?"

Then they immediately prepared to get to work: "Let's not talk about it now, let's replace the protective cover."

A protective shield for a city as large as Xiangcheng would require many superhumans to build together, but this one is only the size of a building, and Song Hui can do it all by himself.

But Cheng Zhen stopped him, saying, "No rush. Keep an eye on them for me and don't let them rush in. I need to rest a bit more."

"Why?"

Song Hui also realized that there was something wrong with the protective shield. Since the shield was the reason for the zombies' collective attack, why not just remove it?

Yu Fen then said, "Comrade Song Hui, it seems you still don't understand our boss enough!"

"Go away!" Song Hui kicked him. Although he didn't understand Cheng Zhen's meaning, he trusted Cheng Zhen and would do whatever he was told.

Cheng Zhen rested for another half day before he felt fully recovered. Although his superpowers had not fully recovered, he had no problem leading Jiang Wan to break through the zombies' rear.

When Song Hui, Yu Fen, and the others heard his plan, they were speechless. Gou was still the boss. He told them to stay here and attract the zombies while the two of them went to sweep through the deserted town!

But I must say, it's a good idea.

It's better than them having to collect supplies while fighting zombies, right? At least they can lie here and rest for now!

Although Cheng Zhen's superpowers have not fully recovered, he can still use them to move quickly for short periods of time without any problem.

He led Jiang Wan from the second floor, stepping on the heads of the zombies as they sped away.

As she passed by one of the places, a zombie suddenly reached out and almost grabbed Jiang Wan's foot. Fortunately, the passive skill of the vine whip bracelet was triggered in time, instantly forming a protective layer under her feet.

Jiang Wan was still shaken, but then she suddenly realized: "You shouldn't have gone on that risky trip by yourself yesterday. You should have taken me with you."

At least she has a protective shield.

Cheng Zhen chuckled: "I don't do things I'm not sure I can do."

For him, all passive skills are unknown, and it's better to control them himself.

Xiashan Town has two intersecting main streets and more than ten small commercial streets. The two small streets they raided yesterday were just a small part of it.

Although most of the zombies were attracted to Xiashan Town Middle School in the south of the city, Cheng Zhen was still worried about separating from her, so the two went in and out together, sweeping through shop after shop.

In reality, it was Jiang Wan who was the only one storing things into the tree hole space. Gradually, she got tired of the trouble and started directly connecting the shelf end.

In short, wherever they went, nothing was left behind.

They took over half of Xiashan Town, and also two large supermarkets. Jiang Wan was walking out of a branded children's clothing store. Before the oxygen-deficient apocalypse, clothes here were more expensive than adult clothes.

Cheng Zhen watched as she swept up another store, plus its warehouse, and finally couldn't help but ask the question she had been holding back all the way: "Just how big is your space?"

Jiang Wan went inside to take a look, and then she herself felt very strange: "It's hard to say, it's gotten bigger again."

It's gotten bigger again?

After his initial surprise, Cheng Zhen understood: "Is your spatial ability being upgraded?"

"If you put it that way, it doesn't seem wrong."

Jiang Wan paused for a moment, then stepped into the milk tea shop next door and collected all the tea ingredients. She even found an ingredient list in the cabinet under the cashier, probably meant for some intern. Without a word, she collected it all, planning to make milk tea herself whenever she had free time!

Further ahead was the central hospital of Xiashan Town. As soon as the two approached, they heard a loud commotion.

It turned out that the hospital's iron gate had been closed, and the zombies inside were trying everything they could to get out.

The two stopped at the same time, and Jiang Wan said, "There seems to be a bamboo grove behind the hospital."

Cheng Zhen was concerned about: "This hospital should have a lot of medicines and medical equipment."

The two exchanged a glance and reached an agreement: go inside!

Safety supplies are found even in dangerous situations!

However, neither of them went through the main gate facing the Xiashan Town Middle School, which was full of zombies. Instead, they went around to the back gate, and sure enough, there wasn't a single zombie there.

Cheng Zhen put his arm around her waist and easily jumped over the wall. This was a parking lot, next to a hospital back garden.

Jiang Wan had already identified several types of palm bamboo from afar! It seemed this trip was destined to be very fruitful!

Rhapis excelsa is an evergreen landscape plant belonging to the genus Rhapis excelsa in the palm family. It is popular for landscaping in many places because it is easy to grow, evergreen, and can be planted in pots and brought indoors.

Moreover, there are many varieties of palm bamboo. Jiang Wan's task is to find ten different types of bamboo, and it wasn't specified that they couldn't be from the same category. If they're lucky...

Thinking this, she went closer and burst out laughing: "We're so lucky! It really is a palm bamboo! And all the different types of palm bamboo are here!"

Cheng Zhen only half understood what he was hearing. He checked and confirmed that none of the plants here had mutated. He couldn't help but be secretly surprised. It seemed that there were very few mutated plants in Xiashan Town.

How many types are there in total? Is that enough to complete the task?

"Rhapis excelsa, multi-lobed rhapis excelsa, dwarf rhapis excelsa, slender rhapis excelsa, coarse rhapis excelsa, filamentous rhapis excelsa—all varieties of rhapis excelsa are here!" She was overjoyed and took out her tools to start digging. "There are six types in total. If we find two more types of bamboo, our mission will be complete!"

“Okay.” Cheng Zhen helped her dig.

Just as the two finished digging up all the different types of palm trees, they suddenly heard a soft footstep. Cheng Zhen immediately grabbed her and teleported away, hiding behind a clump of bushes. The hospital wall was right behind them, and if things went wrong, they would jump over the wall and leave immediately.
