Jiang Wan knew they must have something important to discuss, so she led the twins back.
After she left, Cheng Zhen became even more resentful.
I could only catch a faint trace of her scent in the air, which offered some small comfort.
He glanced sideways at the uninvited guest, Old Chen, and asked irritably, "What is it? I'm on vacation for a week!"
Old Chen was amused by his attitude and reached out to give him a light tap on the head: "Are you still asleep? What time is it? You still want a vacation?"
"I am currently injured!"
"Alright, you can fool women and children by playing the weakling, but don't pretend in front of me. I have something important to discuss with you."
Seeing that Old Chen looked unwell, Cheng Zhen put aside his casual thoughts and asked, "What happened?"
Two things.
Old Chen sat down in front of him and said with a serious expression, "First of all, the US military just told me that Omega is a consumable, so the expansion of the forest farm must be put on hold. We have too little Omega and need to replenish the existing forest farm as needed."
Cheng Zhen was genuinely taken aback; he hadn't expected such an outcome.
If Ω is consumed, does that mean that one day they will still die from lack of oxygen?
Old Chen thought the same thing and sighed, "Let's not think too far ahead now. We still have oxygen stones and water, so artificial oxygen production can last for a long time."
The two fell silent. In this world, human survival was becoming increasingly difficult.
"And the second one?"
Old Chen sighed again: "A document just came from Longcheng, requiring all our cities to be organized by military region."
Cheng Zhen frowned: "What do you mean?"
"Our Xiangcheng belongs to the Southwest Military Region, so we must follow the instructions of Zhushacheng. From now on, Zhushacheng can mobilize our Xiangcheng city guards at any time."
"Did the people in Longcheng lose their minds? Zhusha City isn't even as powerful as our Xiangcheng, is it? And now they want us to listen to them?"
"I won't do it!"
"The military region should have been located in Xiangcheng in the first place, but they, Zhushacheng, used underhanded means to seize it!"
Cheng Zhen jumped up in a fit of rage, showing no trace of the weakness she displayed in front of Jiang Wan!
Old Chen gave him a disdainful look, then pressed him down: "What's your hurry? It's not like we're the only ones with complaints."
Oh, right. There are a hundred cities across the country now, but there are only eight military regions: Central, Northern, Northeastern, Northwestern, Southern, Southwestern, Southeastern, and Eastern. How are they divided?
Wow, this is going to cause quite a stir!
Cheng Zhen couldn't help but sneer: "Who the hell came up with this? Do they think survival in the post-apocalyptic world isn't difficult enough?"
Old Chen shook his head; he hadn't figured it out yet.
"Let's wait and see."
"Alright, focus on recovering from your injuries and get back to the team as soon as possible. I'm not comfortable leaving those brats to guard the wilderness."
Cheng Zhen put his hands behind his head, leaned back, and said lazily, "I advise you to start training more new people as soon as possible, instead of relying on me."
He has other things to do next!
His deep eyes narrowed unconsciously, a ruthless glint flashing in them.
Old Chen couldn't guess what he was thinking, and shook his head helplessly: "Be careful, there are many of them after all."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhen bluntly made his request: "Then you should give me two people too. Those bastards in the inner city, if we don't teach them a lesson, they probably won't even know what era we're in!"
"You decide what to do."
Old Chen left after he finished speaking. He wanted to refuse, but could he?
More than half of the superhumans in the camp are his soldiers!
Cheng Zhen was indeed seriously injured this time. He was able to run, jump and walk normally until the next day, and it took another two days for his superpowers to be restored.
However, his superpower still did not upgrade.
During this period, Jiang Wan adjusted his meals according to his physical condition every day, and finally got him to eat delicious braised pork.
The aroma was so tempting that it tempted him to commit a crime, so he had to close the doors and windows tightly and hide away so that his family of four could eat it secretly.
In an oxygen-deficient post-apocalyptic world, satisfying such a craving is nothing short of a luxury!
Even though Jiang Wan had plenty of food in her tree hole space, she usually ate it sparingly. This meal was entirely to take care of the injured Cheng Zhen.
He knew perfectly well what was going on, and he was overjoyed; the corners of his mouth never left his lips.
"Stop laughing. If you've recovered well, we'll set off tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhen exclaimed, "Huh?" She paused for a moment, not quite understanding, "Where to?"
He was so focused on dealing with those bastards in the inner city that he never thought of taking her with him.
“Bamboo, ten tons,” Jiang Wan reminded him.
Oh dear, how could he forget something so important!
Now that we know that Ω is a consumable item, we should seize every opportunity to get as many Ω as possible.
"Okay, we'll set off tomorrow."
Jiang Wan thought that now that things had been discussed, the next step was for everyone to make preparations. Since she didn't plan to take the twins on an outdoor adventure, she intended to use the rest of the day to spend quality time with the two children, playing games and making delicious food to build a bond between them.
As a result, Cheng Zhen calmly lay down on the bed, showing no intention of leaving at all.
"Don't you... need to make arrangements?"
She had just shown him the distribution areas of the two types of bamboo, which were quite far from Xiangcheng, so it was impossible for just the two of them to go alone.
Cheng Zhen took out his phone, sent a few messages, and then gestured to her, "Done."
Jiang Wan was speechless. He was really something. Just based on his laziness, anyone who didn't know better would think he was a fake Cheng Zhen.
Whatever, she'll refuse to go if the safety isn't high.
As she opened the door to leave, Cheng Zhen reminded her from behind, "I need to rest for another day today. Don't forget to come back and have dinner with me later!"
What do you mean by eating with him? It's clearly a reminder not to forget to come back and cook him a special meal for his sickbed, isn't it?
Ha, is this man really addicted to ordering her around?
The twins overheard this from outside the door, exchanged a glance, and their little scheme was silently devised in that exchange of looks.
When it was time for dinner, Jiang Xiaoxin once again launched into her endless stream of questions, pestering Jiang Wan with questions about everything under the sun. Jiang Xiaoshu, who used to find her annoying, was not only not impatient this time, but would also lend a helping hand when Jiang Xiaoxin forgot her lines or was not in the right mood.
Jiang Wan could see through their tricks, could she?
She smiled faintly and remained silent, since she hadn't originally planned to become Cheng Zhen's maid anyway.
Since he has recovered and doesn't want to do it himself, then he can just go hungry.
But she certainly couldn't let the twins go hungry, so she rummaged through the tree hole space and suddenly found self-heating bento boxes. Wow, upon closer inspection, there were quite a few in stock!
So the mother and her two children enjoyed a hot self-heating bento box in the snow in the forest, a unique and delightful experience.
In the warm dormitory of the camp, a hungry man craned his neck and frequently looked out the window.
Why aren't they back yet?!
The lavish dinner he had prepared on the table gradually cooled down and was left untouched.
