Chapter 124 The Aftermath of "Sister-in-Law" (Part 5)



"You talk so much, I thought you didn't need to rest."

After Jiang Wan finished speaking, she put down the spoon and let the others serve the soup. Then she showed him the broad-leaved golden cherry orchid, "Look carefully, this is what it looks like. Once we get some light in the area, we can go back."

Yu Fen was extremely distressed and went to his boss for help.

As a result, Cheng Zhen's expression was even worse than Jiang Wan's, because Jiang Wan immediately warned him: "Cheng Zhen, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You need to keep a close eye on yourself!"

Cheng Zhen swallowed awkwardly. He hadn't asked anyone to call her that, so he glared at the person who started it!

Actually, he was quite surprised when he heard Yu Fen call her "sister-in-law," and then he stared at her reaction without moving.

Seeing that she was neither ashamed, anxious, nor angry, but only expressed her dissatisfaction by punishing Yu Fen, he didn't know how to feel at that moment.

The apocalypse, with its lack of oxygen, arrived suddenly, and their meeting was equally unexpected. He didn't even have time to carefully consider their relationship!

But undeniably, he felt guilty towards her.

As for my sister-in-law...

He actually had a feeling that Yu Fen's way of addressing him wasn't wrong at all! It even sounded quite nice!

As for why it was right, he didn't have time to investigate. After slurping down a bowl of soup, a bowl of porridge, and two compressed biscuits, he immediately went out and, following Jiang Wan's directions, cleared away the snow and found a small patch of broadleaf golden cherry orchid.

Although the number is small, it is enough for one person.

After collecting the herbs, Jiang Wan thought for a moment, then turned back and instructed Yu Fen: "Be careful to dig them out by the roots, I want to take them back."

Broadleaf Chloranthus is at least a useful herb. Once the US military finds a solution to the light problem, the plant might be able to grow normally, and then all of these can be planted.

Yu Fen had just offended someone by saying the wrong thing, so he immediately behaved himself and dug up all the broadleaf golden orchids in the area, roots and all, then wrapped them in scraps of cloth and loaded them onto the car to take them back.

Jiang Wan saw that he had handled the matter carefully, so she didn't bother him.

Cheng Zhen immediately directed the packing up and loading of the vehicles, and the group quickly returned to the camp.

As they passed the outer perimeter of the city's protective barrier, they saw Fang Zhaodong's former subordinates struggling against wave after wave of approaching zombies.

They built simple fortifications and set up an electric fence, but it was not very effective against the zombies.

Yu Fen watched with satisfaction: "Serves him right! He betrayed his own people! He should have expected this outcome!"

Cheng Zhen kicked him: "Go down and help them out. Come back at noon."

Yu Fen scrambled to his feet, staring blankly at the convoy speeding away, feeling like crying. What had he done wrong?!

Everything was normal in the camp, but Cheng Zhen knew that Song Hui had taken a group of absolutely reliable superhumans and city guards to the wilderness to collect supplies, under the pretext of killing mutated plants and zombies outside the city.

This is why Cheng Zhen asked Yu Fen to help outside; those people cannot die, and they must resolutely keep the zombies outside the protective shield and prevent them from gathering more and more.

Only in this way can we buy time for Song Hui's secret operation.

Huang Ying was in good condition. Sun Sanhai and Wu Xuan, who had been watching over her for so long, were quite puzzled: "Isn't it said that after being bitten by a zombie, you will mutate quickly? How come Director Huang is still fine?"

Wu Xuan rolled his eyes at him: "Isn't this great? Do you want her to die?"

Sun Sanhai shut his mouth, and after a long while, he pulled him aside and repeatedly reminded him, "It's a promise, you only recognize me as your master! No matter how capable other people are, it won't work!"

This has been said so many times already, Wu Xuan is tired of hearing it and can't be bothered to listen anymore. He walks outside, reminding him as he goes, "Is the Bai Rui herbal medicine ready yet? It's time to give her the medicine!"

Jiang Wan and the others had just returned when she handed the broad-leaved golden cherry orchid to Sun Sanhai: "Go and boil the medicine, and hurry up."

Wu Xuan brushed past the twins, pausing slightly as if he wanted to speak to Jiang Xiaoxin, but she ignored him completely, focusing instead on Sun Sanhai: "Be careful, this stuff is poisonous. Use it according to the medical books, or someone will die!"

Sun Sanhai was startled and threw the herbs in his hand to Wu Xuan: "You can read medical books, so you can prepare the medicine. I'll just be responsible for cooking it."

Wu Xuan caught the arms full of food. Jiang Xiaoxin pursed her lips but didn't say a word. She and her brother held hands and went back to their room. They hadn't slept well last night and were very sleepy. They couldn't even wait for their mother to make them something delicious. After taking a shower, they snuggled into their warm blankets and fell asleep almost immediately.

Seeing that the sun was shining brightly, Jiang Wan took out the six quilts she had slept in outdoors the night before and put them out to air in the sun to prevent them from getting damp.

I was busy until sunset, only to realize that there was still no news from the US military.

This is... a bit too abnormal. Even if the research hasn't yielded results yet, shouldn't he at least reply to the messages she sent?

She called, but there was no response.

Just then, Cheng Zhen finished her work and came over, asking her, "How is Huang Ying?"

"You've taken the medicine, so you should be fine?"

She said this, but she was basically certain in her heart that the green sap produced by the tree hole space was indeed useful. However, after producing five, it stopped. Now she only had one left. So what were the conditions for the tree hole space to continue producing it?

She thought about all the events that happened before and after the green sap appeared, but couldn't come to any useful conclusions.

Then he said to him, "Haven't we heard anything from the US military yet? Something's not right. Shall we go into the city and check?"

Cheng Zhen came over to talk to her about this. He had just retrieved all the grain that Song Hui had received through the portal. He was now leading his team to the next field. There probably wouldn't be any results tonight, so he could use this time to go to the city.

The two hit it off immediately and set off right away.

Jiang Xiaoxin woke up from her deep sleep and saw that her mother was gone, and there was a note left by her mother on the bedside table. She immediately broke down and burst into tears, crying loudly, "Mom has abandoned us again!"

Jiang Xiaoshu had just woken up and was a little annoyed by her sister's incessant chatter, but she could understand her. This silly girl had a bad temper when she woke up, and she was already in a bad mood when she found that her mother was missing. It would be strange if she didn't explode!

He resignedly got up, dressed himself, and then dressed his younger sister to keep her warm. He then went to the pot to find the food his mother had left behind, coaxing her to eat while filling his own stomach.

This time, Jiang Wan and Cheng Zhen didn't drive into the city in a swagger. Instead, Cheng Zhen led her along the way, using his speed-enhancing abilities to scale walls and rooftops, and they arrived at the Optical Research Institute in no time.

The research institute remained deserted. The laboratory where Mi Jun had been was now empty. The two immediately realized something was wrong and searched the entire institute, but they couldn't find him!
