The angry shout of "So annoying!" startled even Jiang Wan. She paused in her noodle-making and turned to look incredulously at the bed.
That cute yet fierce voice and appearance—is it really her usually naive, good-natured, even silly twin sister, Jiang Xiaoxin?
The twin brother, however, seemed used to it, taking his sister's chubby little hand and coaxing her gently, "Brother will cover your ears, Xinxin, don't worry, go to sleep."
"What's the use? I can't sleep!" Jiang Xiaoxin said with a pained expression, clearly unhappy.
Is your morning grumpiness really that bad?
Jiang Wan was quite surprised.
She recalled carefully that the twins used to sleep in the children's room together. After the apocalypse, although she moved their bed into the master bedroom, she still let them sleep until they naturally woke up every day. Before that, she had never noticed.
But Yu Tongguang, still outside the car, hadn't shut up yet: "Cheng Zhen, you're not just using your position for personal gain, and you didn't actually find any botanists, but instead arranged for your own family to be placed in the camp, are you?"
"Ugh, this is so annoying!" Jiang Xiaoxin was really getting impatient. She yanked open the car curtain and pointed at the outside with a cute but fierce tone, "Who are you? Why are you blocking our way? What we do is none of your business!"
So annoying! She just wants to sleep! To sleep peacefully!
After delivering her accusations, she forcefully swung her forearm and pulled the carriage curtain shut.
Jiang Wan glanced at her while scooping noodles. Hmm, she was certainly full of the spirit to curse, but unfortunately, she didn't even open her eyes. I wonder if she even saw who she was cursing.
Outside, Yu Tongguang was clearly furious. How could he, a dignified battalion commander, have fallen so low as to be pointed at and scolded by a three-year-old kid?
But in that instant, he also saw the little girl's face clearly, and his eyes flickered slightly.
Cheng Zhen's mood instantly improved when she saw his face turn black with anger!
This little girl has a lot of potential!
"That's right! We are on a mission! You, Yu Tongguang, have no right to interfere or obstruct us!"
Yu Fen and the others' eyes lit up: "That's right! Get out of my way, all of you! If you get in my way again, don't blame me for shooting you as spies!"
The post-apocalyptic world and the peaceful world are the same; both have nations, gangs, and naturally, spies.
In the apocalypse, spies receive no humane treatment; they are shot as soon as they are caught.
Those who disrupt the organization and undermine internal unity are a waste of food and air if they live; killing one of them is a contribution to society!
Cheng Zhen walked past Yu Tongguang by the shoulder, his shoulder tense, and with a forceful push, he sent Yu Tongguang stumbling back several steps. Then he strode into the RV and ordered, "Let's go!"
He stepped on the gas and drove right past Yu Tongguang, without slowing down at all or changing direction.
Seeing that the front of the car was just an inch away from hitting him, Cao Jin shouted in alarm and rushed over: "Boss!"
The two rolled away to avoid the car, which sped past. Cao Jin couldn't dodge in time and his foot was run over. He was in so much pain that his face turned pale, and he clutched his instep, hunched over, unable to speak.
Yu Tongguang stared at the departing RV with a sinister look for a long time before slowly turning around: "Is your leg broken? Go to the hospital to get it checked out."
The convoy set off again, and Jiang Xiaoxin finally fell asleep once more in the swaying yet comfortable and quiet environment, accompanied by her brother.
Jiang Wan was eating noodles, listening to the sounds coming from inside the car. Her gaze inadvertently turned and she bumped into Cheng Zhen, who was also looking at her in the rearview mirror.
She turned away without any emotion or expression, and focused on eating her noodles.
The noodles were topped with greens, poached eggs, and slices of ham, making them savory and delicious.
Cheng Zhen resisted the urge to smell the tempting aroma in the air and tried to change the subject: "Just now, didn't you need to coax me?"
Her relationship with the twins is really strange, quite different from a normal mother-child relationship.
It seems she's not a mother figure, but rather a friend?
Twins rely on each other even more.
Jiang Wan glanced at him in the rearview mirror, said nothing, and focused on eating her noodles. Cheng Zhen could clearly see the look in her eyes.
Shut up, you're so annoying!
So they traveled in silence until they finally arrived at the campsite outside the city. There were some kind of traps or mechanisms in this area, but the closer they got to the center of the camp, the higher the oxygen content in the air became.
Jiang Wan looked around and didn't see any green plants, so it must be artificial oxygenation.
When she came to her senses, she saw a lot of people standing in front of her. The person in the lead was looking at her with great excitement. It seemed that he was the one who had just given a long welcoming speech, but she had no patience to listen and had drifted off into thought.
He simply nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Don't have too high hopes. I've only learned a little bit."
Nature is vast and abundant, with diverse ecological environments and countless species. No one dares to claim expertise in the plant kingdom.
Cheng Zhen introduced from the side: "This is Chen Liang, the battalion commander of our First Battalion."
Jiang Wan nodded again and greeted him, "Battalion Commander Chen."
Her expression remained indifferent, exuding a sense of detachment and aloofness. If one did not know her, one would think that she was arrogant, aloof, and difficult to get along with.
Cheng Zhen knew that this was just her personality, and he was worried that she might offend someone without realizing it, and then be retaliated against without even knowing it.
Old Chen didn't feel offended at all. He smiled and said, "Our city's outer defense force has two camps. This is the first camp. Expert Jiang, you should feel right at home here. Don't be shy!"
"Cheng Zhen! From now on, the safety of Expert Jiang is in your hands. If anything happens to the expert, I will hold you responsible!"
"yes!"
Old Chen was very happy. So much time had passed since the apocalypse, and not a single plant expert had been found in the three camps of Xiangcheng. Moreover, one bad news after another came!
Just when it seemed there was little hope for the last two, their battalion unexpectedly found such a living, breathing expert!
good!
Let's see who is the boss of the Xiangcheng City Guard Camp, also known as the Second Battalion and the Inner City Camp!
He was pleased, and even found Cheng Zhen more agreeable; this kid was indeed a promising talent!
He has a terrible temper, is stubborn and inflexible, and doesn't know how to back down. He's an incorrigible troublemaker!
The atmosphere here is just right, but there are always some inappropriate voices that appear.
"Cheng Zhen, where did you find this plant expert? She doesn't look like one at all, a woman with two children..."
The speaker was another company commander named Fang Zhaodong.
Even if he hadn't pointed it out, those who noticed were already whispering among themselves, "Yeah, these two kids look way too much like Cheng Zhen, they're practically identical..."
Could it be... that Cheng Zhen really abused his position for personal gain? That he was using his woman as a botany expert?
His immediate superior, Pingjiang, was a meticulous and intolerant person who immediately asked, "Cheng Zhen, you say she is a plant expert, what evidence do you have to prove it?"
