Before Yu Tongguang and the others could react, Lao Liu's men all changed color and felt their stomachs churning. They managed to hold back from vomiting so as not to lose face in front of the people in the inner city camp.
Old Liu's eyes lit up: This expert is really ruthless. With just one sentence, he brought down everyone in his camp.
Look at how they're doing this, they're so subtle and collected!
His mind was racing, but he kept a straight face and didn't show any emotion. He also wanted to see how these kids in the inner city camp would react. The entire Xiangcheng water system was paralyzed. How could they in the inner city not know?
Hmph, do they treat their outer city camp like an unwanted stepmother?
Think you can bully me? Not so easy!
Yu Tongguang laughed: "Comrade Jiang Wan, it's too much trouble to transport water here, why don't you..." go back to the inner city camp with them?
Jiang Wan interrupted him again: "Is it troublesome? It is indeed quite troublesome. After all, you are busy with official duties, and it is not good to always make you run back and forth between the city and the countryside all day long for a little bit of supplies. So let's do this: you might as well transport more at once."
Water, vegetables, meat, rice, flour, and cooking oil—don't let my appearance fool you, I have quite an appetite, especially considering I have two children.
She didn't hold back at all, immediately listing a whole host of needs for supplies.
Yu Tongguang was completely dumbfounded: "Your request..."
That's way too high!
Although their living conditions in the inner city camp were not bad, they were only slightly better than those in the outer city camp!
She asked for so much right off the bat; I thought this was before the apocalypse?
Jiang Wan knew exactly what he meant, but pretended not to understand and deliberately interrupted him, asking, "Is it too little?"
She nodded and said, "It is indeed too little. This will only last for a few days. You are busy killing monsters all day long, and you probably won't be able to take care of me. So you might as well work hard this time and bring me a month's worth of supplies."
She then instructed Lao Liu, "Battalion Commander Liu, clear out a small warehouse for me; I need to store supplies there."
Old Liu couldn't help but twitch his lips. Those pot-bellied guys in the inner city camp who sit in their offices doing nothing, would they be busy killing monsters all day long?
Haha, how ironic!
The more he looked at the girl, the more interesting he found her. Seeing that she could single-handedly make Yu Tongguang lose face, he happily cooperated with her and waved his hand to give the order:
"Our comrades in the inner city camp of Xiangcheng are always very efficient. You guys hurry up and pack up, or your two small warehouses won't be ready when the experts' supplies arrive!"
It's just setting up a fire, right? That's easy!
Yu Tongguang was so enraged by Jiang Wan and Lao Liu that he couldn't get down from the fire.
His forehead twitched: "So you mean that from now on, our inner city camp will have to bear the cost of these supplies?"
Will the responsibility fall on her alone, or on the entire outer city camp?
Jiang Wan asked, "Isn't that right? You just asked me to go to your inner city camp. If I go there, won't you provide me with supplies?"
Also, didn't you just say that the outer city is poor and conditions are harsh? I've been here for the past two days and found it is indeed quite difficult. Since you're so eager to help, then that's perfect; you can provide the supplies.”
Her voice was clear and cold, and her expression was serious, without a hint of mockery or sarcasm.
Yu Tongguang's eyes gleamed, and he had no choice but to say, "We are inviting experts to the inner city camp. At that time, whatever supplies you want will naturally be available!"
Jiang Wan's gaze softened: "Oh."
She paused for a moment: "You're making excuses all the time. It seems to me that you don't want to give me any supplies. If I go with you, I'll be all alone and helpless. What if you let me starve or die of thirst?"
This is practically a blatant declaration that they're going to kill her!
Yu Tongguang and the others' expressions changed instantly. A sinister glint flashed in his eyes, but he still smiled and said:
"The expert is joking. You are the only botany expert in the entire Xiangcheng. We are all counting on you to shine and help us get out of the apocalypse. We will not mistreat you in the slightest, and we certainly will not let you starve or die of thirst."
"Oh, in that case, let's stop with the nonsense and bring me all the supplies I need. It's more convenient for me to work from here."
Jiang Wan's attitude was cold and firm; she had no intention of beating around the bush with him anymore. Talking too much was a waste of her brain, breath, and energy—it was too tiring.
"Call me Jiang Wan, stop calling me an expert all the time. It's not like you listen to me in everything, so don't flatter me."
Finally, I'm not the only botanist; there's still one whose fate is unknown. You all need to step in and find him. Relying on me for everything is putting a lot of pressure on me. If I accidentally die from exhaustion, then your entire city of Xiangcheng will truly be finished!
After saying that, she shut her mouth tightly and didn't say another word.
Regardless of the uproar these words caused in everyone's hearts.
Yu Tongguang was about to persuade her again when Jiang Wan turned her face away and looked at Lao Liu with piercing eyes.
Old Liu had been watching this good show from the sidelines, and now it was his turn to step in and wrap things up: "The experts are doing very well here, but we can't refuse your inner city camp's sincere dedication to the experts and to human society. So let's listen to the experts. We'll provide the accommodations, and you can provide the supplies!"
They were extremely impolite!
Are we not just labeling them as bandits and robbers in the outer city's first military district?
He might as well just accept it; he can't just bear this kind of reputation for nothing!
He just didn't expect that Jiang Wan, this expert, would refuse to return to the inner city. Why?
Yu Tongguang was very frustrated, as he had not expected to fail once again!
Last time, a three-year-old girl ruined things, and this time, this woman ruined things again with just a few words!
Damn, is this sharp-tongued and unforgiving nature hereditary?
If it weren't for orders from above to protect her, he would have shot her long ago. Why would he bother with her here?
When Cheng Zhen rushed back after receiving the news, she saw that Yu Tongguang looked terrible, but he had to suppress his emotions and leave with a forced smile.
He cannot show any unusual behavior; if he does, it would mean he intends to harm the experts.
He cannot bear such a charge, nor can the inner city barracks.
Before leaving, he took a deep look at Jiang Wan. He had really underestimated this woman before!
Need supplies?
hehe.
Old Liu was in a great mood. Without losing a single soldier or even having his men lift a finger, he had managed to drive away Yu Tongguang, who always looked down on everyone in the inner city camp.
He beckoned to Cheng Zhen: "Go and check what's going on with the water supply!"
"yes!"
When Cheng Zhen returned, he heard about the water pollution and immediately asked Jiang Wan, "How did you discover that the water was polluted?"
