Their arrival was sudden, but in reality, Old Chen had been watching them for a long time. As soon as they made a move, he gave an order, and the city guards who had been lying in ambush immediately prepared to form ranks.
Pingjiang personally led the team: "This is the outer city camp of the city guards. Captain Yu, you have no right to act recklessly here!"
A rigid, profound, and loyal person like Pingjiang is the best card to play against Yu Tongguang, because no matter how eloquent, threatening, or even forceful Yu Tongguang tries to suppress him, he will only obey Old Chen's orders, strictly guard the camp, and not let them take a step closer!
But this time Yu Tongguang came prepared. He brought more than a dozen superhumans, plus other ordinary city guards. He was not afraid of the numbers this time!
"Pingjiang! I am acting under orders. If you obstruct me again, don't blame me for killing you without mercy!"
He has the city lord's orders in his hands, which are no different from an imperial sword!
Pingjiang remained defiant, declaring loudly, "Our city guard's duty is to protect the safety of Xiangcheng. How could the city lord allow you to provoke your colleagues? You must be forging orders and deliberately stirring up trouble!"
If Jiang Wan were here, she would definitely applaud and cheer. Who says Pingjiang is old-fashioned, dull, and not good at speaking?
Isn't that quite efficient and resourceful?
The two sides are locked in a standoff, and conflict is imminent.
But everyone on the First Battalion's side was in high spirits. This was their own territory, and to ask them to hand it over would be impossible unless you stepped over their dead bodies!
Meanwhile, Cheng Zhen's operation went very smoothly. They disguised themselves as refugees in the city and stormed into "Chaoyang's" hideout, arresting a significant number of their employees.
However, the Hundred-Petal Grass they expected, and even the medicines Huang Ying mentioned, were nowhere to be found, as if they had all been moved in advance.
For several days in a row, they came up empty-handed. They could no longer stay in the city; if they lingered there, it would surely arouse the vigilance of their superiors.
Yu Fen gritted his teeth angrily and asked, "Boss, what do we do?!"
They arrested many people from "Chaoyang," and these people must be dealt with.
They had already been interrogated. These people were all suicide squad members. They couldn't get anything out of them. If they were tortured, they would commit suicide. If they weren't given the chance to commit suicide, they would just endure the torture until they died.
After carefully examining the warehouse Huang Ying mentioned, Cheng Zhen concluded: "The items were indeed here before, but were recently moved."
"Holy crap! Could it be that we have a mole among us who knows our movements in advance?" Yu Fen exclaimed in surprise.
Cheng Zhen remained silent, directly opening a portal to space and throwing everyone from the "Chaoyang" organization outside the city's protective shield.
"Since they are all talented individuals, it would be a waste to let them go to waste. Let them contribute to humanity by killing a couple more zombies or a few more mutated plants!"
When the last one was thrown, a boy wearing glasses yelled, then raised his hands in a trembling voice: "Help! Help! Don't kill me, I'm innocent!"
"You're innocent?" Yu Fenqi slapped him on the head. "Who here doesn't cry innocent?!"
"And they all think they're righteous men of the world!"
Seeing that Cheng Zhen had already reached out to grab him without saying a word, he quickly confessed, "My name is Li Siming! I am a master's graduate in botany!"
Cheng Zhen and Yu Fen were both very sensitive to the words "botany major" because they were responsible for finding these people for a period of time.
"Li Siming?"
The two couldn't help but exchange a glance, and then they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Because Li Siming was the last one on that original list!
His signal was briefly detected outside the city, but he was never found again, leading them to suspect that he had met with misfortune and died!
With so many people dying in Xiangcheng every day, finding Li Siming's body wouldn't be easy. Besides, they had already found Jiang Wan and had so many things to do every day, so they gradually forgot about Li Siming.
Unexpectedly, Chaoyang found it first?
Cheng Zhen looked him over suspiciously and asked, "How can you prove that you are Li Siming?"
Li Siming was stunned for a moment, then clutched his head in distress: "They threw away my ID card! I..."
He squatted on the ground in utter despair, looking dejected. Suddenly, he looked up sharply and stood up: "You found Jiang Wan, didn't you! Take me to see her! We used to be classmates, she must recognize me! I haven't changed at all since I was a student!"
Yu Fen went to see Cheng Zhen, who seized on a point and asked, "Are you and Jiang Wan classmates?"
Li Siming nodded: "Yes, yes!"
His expression was quite sincere, not like he was lying, and when he talked about Jiang Wan, he even had a slight shyness, longing and affection in his micro-expressions.
Cheng Zhen: ? ?
He nodded coldly, then ordered, "Tie him up and take him back!"
But when they returned to the vicinity of the camp, they happened to encounter Yu Tongguang and his men fighting at Pingjiang.
Cheng Zhen stopped: "We can't let that Yu guy see him."
After this operation, he had a feeling that Tong Guang and "Chaoyang" had a complicated relationship, so he found a secluded place to contact Jiang Wan.
At that moment, Jiang Xiaoxin had just woken up, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and asked, "Mommy, can I eat a custard bun?"
It's almost dinnertime, and she wants a custard bun?
Jiang Wan hesitated for a moment: "You and your brother each have one. You can't eat more because we'll be having dinner later, you know?"
"Okay!" With her appetite about to be satisfied, Jiang Xiaoxin was very easy to talk to and helped her brother get dressed and get out of bed.
Cheng Zhen called her twice but she didn't answer, so he guessed that she must have put her phone in the tree hole space again.
He looked at Li Siming and asked, "Open a portal to send him to Jiang Wan? Absolutely not."
The only solution was to open a portal and bring her out directly.
Jiang Wan, who was suddenly pulled over: ...
The twins instantly broke down when they looked up and couldn't see their mother, and their cries were loud enough to lift the roof off!
Yu Yuan, who was waiting outside, had no choice but to try to comfort her through the window with heart-wrenching sobs.
For a time, the camp was unusually lively both inside and out.
Jiang Wan was only wearing a light down jacket, which she wore at home. The heating was on in her room, but when she was suddenly pulled outdoors to the sub-zero temperatures of minus forty degrees Celsius, she shivered instantly and sneezed three times in a row.
He snapped, "Cheng Zhen, are you out of your mind?"
Cheng Zhen regretted it the moment he saw how thinly she was dressed, but since he had already dragged her out, he could only quickly take off his coat and drape it over her, then point at Li Siming and ask, "Do you know him?"
Jiang Wan glanced at him, her anger undiminished: "My classmate? I forgot his name."
Yu Fen asked in surprise, "You can forget your classmates' names?"
Jiang Wan coldly replied, "Yes, because I'm too cold, my brain is frozen."
