After connecting the dots, Cheng Zhen understood and couldn't help but sneer.
Yu Fen knew that he was going to take Jiang Wan back to the camp. He had just finished tidying up the dormitory where Jiang Wan would be staying!
Right next to their captain's room!
He had just finished packing up when he received a reinforcement order from Old Chen. How could he not guess what that guy surnamed Yu was up to?
He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Boss, isn't it obvious? The hunt must have been orchestrated by Yu Tongguang. Now that he knows we've found Jiang Wan, he's deliberately pulling this stunt!"
Cheng Zhen's gaze was deep and somber. In the dim light, he lit a cigarette, the flickering embers illuminating his dark and unfathomable eyes.
He suddenly asked, "Are you saying that Yu Tongguang orchestrated the killing of the botanist?"
Yu Fen exclaimed indignantly, "Who else could it be but him?!"
Cheng Zhen asked again: "The sudden rampage of mutated plants across the city was because he wanted to prevent me from bringing Jiang Wan back safely. Was today's attack on the mutated plants in the city something he intentionally planned?"
Yu Fen clenched his fist and slammed it hard against the car: "You bastard!"
Where is your evidence?
Yu Fen froze instantly, his whole body wilted, like a frostbitten eggplant.
evidence?
If only they had one, their team wouldn't be constantly ostracized and bullied!
Cheng Zhen took a deep drag on his cigarette, then stubbed it out and threw it away, his voice completely calm: "No rush."
If someone wants to jump around, then let him jump around a little longer.
ha?
Yu Fen picked at his ear. "Not in a hurry? What's not in a hurry? Are you saying we're not in a hurry to provide support? Or are we not in a hurry to find evidence?"
Hey bro, can you please speak more clearly?
Cheng Zhen looked to the side and honked the horn.
Jiang Wan shifted her gaze from the rearview mirror to him, her eyes asking, "What is it?"
Cheng Zhen took out his phone and waved it at her.
She had just pulled her phone out of the tree hole when she saw a message from him: "Sorry, I can't take you back to camp for the time being."
Jiang Wan frowned slightly and sent him two "?".
What happened to the promise to be responsible for her safety 24 hours a day?
Is this some kind of joke?
Cheng Zhen hesitated for a moment, his jaw clenched, but still typed out a line of text and sent it.
"Do you dare to come with me?"
Is there any danger?
"It's definitely safer than you staying here."
Jiang Wan glanced at the rearview mirror again. Mi Mang was on the phone, seemingly calling for help, while Miao Fengxian and her daughter were agitated. One reached out to grab her phone, and the other pointed at her and cursed.
She moved her fingers slightly and replied, "Okay."
Since she had already agreed to his request, it didn't matter whether she worked early or late; all she needed to do was ensure her own and the twins' safety.
Cheng Zhen nodded his chin toward Yu Fen: "Get in the car. Did you tell us where you need our support?"
"Shut up!" Yu Fen braced himself against the window, jumped into the passenger seat with a little effort, and then rolled up the window. "I came over as soon as I received the order. Old Chen asked me to pass on a message to you: provide support from the nearest location and ensure the safety of the plant experts!"
They were the city's outer defense forces, while Yu Tongguang was the main force inside the city. It was obvious to anyone that the inner and outer forces had heavier tasks, so Old Chen was very unhappy when this ridiculous reinforcement order came out!
"Um."
Cheng Zhen turned on his hazard lights and signaled Jiang Wan to follow him: "Did they say what kind of mutated species it is?"
"He didn't say, damn it!" Yu Fen had just finished speaking when the car suddenly lurched, as if something had caught on their wheels. "What is that?!"
Cheng Zhen slammed on the brakes, his face grim. As he grabbed his gun and got out of the car, he said, "Be careful! Protect them!"
The mutated plant was already right next to him, but he couldn't sense anything from it!
Yu Fen's face was also quite ugly. What's scary is this: the enemy is hiding in the dark, and you don't know if they are human or ghost!
But when the two jumped out of the car, they saw clearly that what was tangled around their wheels was a green stem, densely covered with white flowers.
Yu Fen had never seen anything like it before. As more and more stalks rushed towards them, he fired his gun while jumping up and down, cursing, "Holy shit! What kind of freakish thing is this?!"
“It’s a mutated water peanut.” Cheng Zhen brandished his lightsaber, slashing at it as he said, “Burn it!”
"What peanuts?" Yu Fen couldn't help but protest. "Boss, I don't have any fire!"
He doesn't have fire-based superpowers!
Cheng Zhen could only chop and burn the food himself.
Yu Fen also threw away his gun and used his light-strike ability to cut off the stem of the mutated water peanut.
They protected Jiang Wan's RV, so those stalkers couldn't get their hands on it for the time being.
Inside the car, Jiang Xiaoshu was startled awake from his sleep. Noticing something unusual outside, he sat up and looked out the window. His face was serious and focused, as if he was hesitating whether to use his special ability to help.
Jiang Wan held him down and said, "You're small and weak, you can't help much."
Jiang Xiaoshu was somewhat discouraged; the energy he had used up earlier hadn't recovered much.
But he was already staring intently outside, planning to use his superpower at a crucial moment.
They fought off the mutated plants as they retreated back to the Silver City Residence complex.
Meanwhile, screams erupted throughout the residential area.
It turned out that the moment they left, the mutated water hyacinth burst forth from the mud like countless tentacles.
The originally safe and secure oxygen storage room has been turned into a greenhouse for mutated water hyacinths because of the water pipes.
Because there is enough oxygen in the room!
Inside the RV, Jiang Wan held the twins tightly, comforting them: "Don't be afraid, Mommy's here. Mommy will stay with you."
Inside the community, more and more people ran out of the oxygen storage rooms. No one knows who first spotted Cheng Zhen and his group, but everyone ran towards the city guards for protection!
Although there were only two city guards, they were a lifeline for these ordinary people who were powerless to even kill a chicken!
Cheng Zhen wielded a lightsaber in one hand and lit a fire with the other. Among the residents who had escaped death, those with the courage helped to use long sticks to lift the cut stems of the water hyacinths and throw them into the fire.
After chopping for a while, Yu Fen suddenly said, "Boss! It seems the mutated plants indoors are even more rampant!"
The water hyacinths outdoors were clearly not very vigorous; apart from the ones frantically heading towards Jiang Wan's RV all around them, the others were just growing.
"I see!"
Listening to Yu Fen's words, Jiang Wan suddenly realized, "It's oxygen! There's plenty of oxygen indoors! These mutated plants also need to breathe oxygen!"
Cheng Zhen immediately turned to the crowd seeking refuge: "Does anyone know where the central control unit is in your community? Go and cut off the power!"
Power off, stop the oxygen circulator from supplying oxygen!
Mi Mang stumbled out of the crowd: "I...I know, I'll go."
Some people, worried about her being a young girl, spontaneously teamed up with her to help cut off the power.
As Yu Fen hacked away, he cursed, "Damn it! What kind of monster is this? Boss, what do we do? Where is this thing hiding?"
