Even if the boss hadn't come to him today, Yu Fen would have brought it up anyway: "Boss, when are we going to go out for a while? If we stay locked up here, we'll run out of ammunition and food sooner or later."
Moreover, he always had a feeling that the outside world had undergone earth-shattering changes, while they were trapped inside the city walls, unaware of it.
Cheng Zhen accepted his suggestion: "We'll set off tomorrow. Let's make some preparations tonight, open up that mountain road, and fetch some water."
"Alright! Don't worry, boss! We'll definitely be able to finish driving this road tonight!"
Thinking about how much more meat he would be able to eat soon, Yu Fen happily agreed and then went to reply to his brothers with a beaming smile.
"So, so, did the boss agree?" Many of the city guards, especially the superhumans who contributed both labor and superpowers, came up and surrounded Yu Fen, asking him questions.
"The boss agreed! Let's hurry up and clear the mountain road today, so we can get out tomorrow!"
After Yu Fen finished speaking, everyone cheered, "Yay!"
"There must be something outside. I spotted it last time, but it got away and I couldn't catch it!"
"I heard a noise that day too, but I didn't know what it was. It wasn't a zombie, and it was definitely edible!"
The world's environment is subtly changing, and these people are gradually accepting the fact that other creatures exist in the oxygen-deprived apocalypse.
They seemed to have stopped considering the basic common sense that living things need to breathe oxygen.
With this motivation, everyone worked even harder that night. There weren't many mutated plants left on the mountain path, so after a quick dinner and a short rest, everyone headed over.
Jiang Wan was making a cake. Today was her birthday, but she had forgotten, so the twins only got to eat noodles and not cake, which they found quite a pity.
Jiang Xiaoxin pouted and complained to her brother in a low voice, "I really want to eat cake! I've almost forgotten what cake tastes like!"
Jiang Wan felt a pang of sadness whenever she thought of her pitiful little face, as if she were afraid of being overheard.
So after the two kids went to sleep, I couldn't resist getting up to make them a small cake, planning to surprise them tomorrow.
Making a small cake was simple, but after washing and cleaning, it was already past midnight. After putting the finished cake into the tree hole space, Jiang Wan went to bed, ready to cuddle with the twins.
But she had just gotten into bed, and hadn't even lain down yet, when she saw Jiang Xiaoxin suddenly open her eyes, her eyes blank and her face vacant.
Jiang Wan was startled and quickly reached out to comfort her, patting her gently: "Xin Xin, did you have a nightmare? Don't be afraid, Mommy is with you. Go to sleep."
Jiang Xiaoxin didn't obediently close her eyes and go to sleep. She wasn't having a nightmare; instead, she was woken up by the ten mutated rose assistants around her.
She grabbed Jiang Wan's wrist tightly and said nervously, "Mom, the uncles outside are in danger!"
Jiang Wan turned on the bedside lamp and carefully observed her condition to make sure she wasn't dreaming or sleepwalking.
Jiang Xiaoxin, afraid that she wouldn't believe her, released all ten mutated rose assistants from her backpack. They quickly grew to ten centimeters in size and jumped around on the floor of the RV, appearing quite agitated.
What are they going to do?
Jiang Xiaoxin said, "They want to go out. They sense danger. It's dangerous here!"
Her mental state seemed to be affected by the mutated roses, and she became very tense, her speech becoming somewhat incoherent and unclear.
Jiang Xiaoshu also woke up. Hearing what her sister said, she quickly released her purification power to protect them, but that wasn't enough.
Jiang Xiaoxin said excitedly, "We need to hurry and warn them that danger is approaching! If they don't leave soon, they'll all die!"
They were referring, of course, to the superhumans that Cheng Zhen had led out to clear the mountain paths.
Jiang Wan nodded immediately: "Okay, Mom will go and call someone to inform them. Don't worry, they'll be fine!"
Jiang Wan got out of the RV and found Long Wanzhi, who was in charge of patrolling the city that night. She said to him, "Take a team of men and tell Cheng Zhen and the others to come back. There is danger outside!"
Long Wanzhi immediately blew his whistle to assemble the team, asking her as he did so, "Are there any mutated zombies coming?"
He now knows that it is not surprising that her twins each have the ability to sense danger in advance.
Seeing that the mother and her two children looked extremely panicked, he comforted them, "Don't worry, Cheng Zhen has taken out some very experienced veterans who are very good at killing zombies. They will be fine."
There was another reason why he was so confident: Jiang Wan had a miraculous medicine that could cure the poison of mutated zombies. Even if they were accidentally bitten by a zombie, as long as they returned before the poison took effect and took the antidote, they would be fine.
Jiang Wan shook her head: "The danger tonight is not that simple. Go and tell them to come back quickly. None of you should linger outside. Get back to the city immediately!"
Jiang Xiaoxin also shouted, "It's not just zombies and mutated plants, there are other dangers, unknown dangers, tell everyone to come back quickly!"
Seeing that she was speaking with unusual seriousness, Long Wanzhi realized that things might be more serious than he had imagined. So he dared not delay any longer, gathered a group of people, and immediately set off.
Indeed, things weren't going well for Cheng Zhen. The plants all over the mountain seemed to have taken some kind of stimulant, making them even harder to kill than before. Some plants that were far away were inexplicably moving towards the mountain path, something that had never happened before.
In addition, the creeping vines became unusually aggressive.
Cheng Zhen and his group were too busy killing the plants on the mountain barefoot to even think about opening a mountain path.
Besides the mutated plants going berserk, the number of zombies has also increased. They don't appear in groups, but in waves, rolling around like a wheel.
Cheng Zhen and Yu Fen felt increasingly uneasy as the battle progressed: "They're stalling us."
Yu Fen used laser waves to annihilate a wave of vines, when he suddenly saw a huge creature approaching in the distance. It had been hiding behind the zombies, and they hadn't noticed it before.
By now, the enormous monster was quite close to them.
"Boss, look! What kind of monster is this?"
Cheng Zhen used his iron sword to kill a nearby wave of zombies, then jumped into the car and called to everyone, "Get in the car, we're leaving."
Following Yu Fen's gaze, he saw a monster with a tortoise shell on its back, but with a bird's head and a venomous snake's tail, approaching them. It was very large, and clearly not just one, but a group of monsters.
