“It’s in the Third Ring Road.” Mi Jun led them out. “I heard that there are now checkpoints within the Fifth Ring Road, so we might not be able to get in.”
Jiang Wan went to see Cheng Zhen; this matter could only be left to him.
In the past, Cheng Zhen adhered to the principle of keeping the inner and outer cities separate and not interfering with each other, but now he wanted to see how those good-for-nothings in the inner city actually did things.
He didn't care how rotten they were, but he absolutely wouldn't allow them to use the outer city camp as pawns, or to treat them like fools or slaves to risk their lives for him!
So he said without hesitation, "Come with me."
If he can reason with them, that would be great. If not, he wouldn't mind spending some time dealing with a few pot-bellied brothers who work in offices in the inner city barracks!
As soon as they reached the bottom of the stairs, they bumped into a woman wearing a mask. Jiang Wan didn't pay any attention and brushed past her.
The woman suddenly called out to her, "Jiang Wan!"
It was Miao Fengxian. She looked very smug. Her gaze swept over her and Mi Jun and Mi Mang, and she took several steps back, pointing at her with a look of horror in her eyes, asking, "You didn't stay in the same room with them, did you? My God! They have the plague! You're doomed!"
Perhaps she was too excited, her voice too loud, causing her to cough repeatedly, but she quickly suppressed it and even mocked her:
"Little girl, I heard you've hooked up with the city guards? Tsk tsk, too bad you're not lucky! Before you're abandoned, hurry up and get him to pull some strings for you, and stock up on some Hundred-Petal Grass just in case!"
After saying that, she giggled, swayed her hips, and walked away gracefully.
Unfortunately, she didn't know that a woman in her forties, wearing a bulky, dirty military overcoat, no matter how slender her waist or how charming her smile, would only make others feel disgusted.
Mi Mang frowned and whispered, "The sound of her cough just now..."
She exchanged a glance with the American soldier and said, "It seems he's also caught the plague."
They've become experts through long-term illness; just by listening to the cough, they can roughly tell it's from a lung infection.
Mi Mang saw them off and went to the supermarket to buy some food. As they walked out, she kept glancing at Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan noticed and asked her, "What's wrong?"
"Well, she lived with your sister. She got the plague, and your sister probably did too..."
"so what?"
"Your medicine..."
"No more." Jiang Wan refused outright. Did Miao Fengxian and her daughter even deserve to take her medicine?
Just as she was about to get on the bus, she suddenly remembered to ask, "Where do they live?"
"They live upstairs from you, in the house that old lady used to live in." Knowing he was meddling, Mi Mang quickly said this and left.
Jiang Wan got into the car without any emotional fluctuations. As long as they didn't mess up her house, she didn't care where they stayed.
Cheng Zhen's face was rather dark and unpleasant. What had this woman, who had contracted the plague but was unaware that she was about to die, just said?
Hooking up?
Did Jiang Wan seduce him?
Please, she doesn't look like she's trying to seduce him at all!
Thinking about it this way, he inexplicably became a little angry.
After that, I drove with a sullen face, and I was in a bad mood the whole way.
As the US military said, they encountered a checkpoint when they entered the Fifth Ring Road.
Xiangcheng's urban layout is very similar to Longcheng's. The inner three rings are all old urban areas, the old city center, and now the political center. People living in the inner three rings are either extremely wealthy or people in the center of power. Later, it expanded to the fifth ring, adding some commercial centers.
However, for ordinary people, the bustling city center is still located in the Sixth and Seventh Ring Roads. Although Yincheng Yazuo and Guoya District are in different directions, they both belong to the Sixth Ring Road.
"Who are you? Where are you going? Have you contracted the plague?"
This was probably a routine inquiry. The person asking the question was impatient, speaking quickly and urgently. Before they could answer, he waved his hand at them and said, "Go away, go away, you are not qualified to go in!"
Jiang Wan's face was icy cold as she angrily questioned, "We haven't even spoken yet, what gives you the right to kick us out? How do you know we're not qualified?"
"Hey guys! We've got some work!"
It had been peaceful for several days with no one attempting to pass the test, but suddenly a formidable opponent appeared, and the five guards at the gate suddenly became very excited.
Jiang Wan and Cheng Zhen both noticed that they were carrying weapons such as electric batons, knives, and wooden sticks, and it seemed that if they didn't cooperate, they would be dragged out of the car and beaten up!
Sitting in the back seat, the American soldier saw the situation and quickly said, "Let's go, let's go! These people are unreasonable. They've already killed several people! They have powerful backers; even if they kill someone, no one will care!"
Jiang Wan couldn't believe it; weren't they wearing the uniforms of the city guards?!
"Ha!" Cheng Zhen suddenly pushed open the driver's seat door, causing the two people in front to stumble back two steps and fall to the ground.
"Let me have a go!"
As he spoke, he stepped off the car with his long legs, unleashing his wild and domineering aura. With a wave of his hand, a beam of light struck their feet, shattering the insteps of the other two men.
At once……
It ended before it even started?
Cheng Zhen was speechless. He touched his nose and coughed, wondering if he had used too much force.
The two men who fell first quickly got up. Hearing the cries of the two brothers behind them, even if they wanted revenge, they were afraid of the superhuman. Then they looked at what he was wearing and, oh my, it was a real city guard uniform!
The two men immediately smiled broadly and stepped forward to greet him: "Sir, we were blind to your greatness! It was all a misunderstanding!"
They were afraid that if Cheng Zhen got angry again and used his light shockwave ability on them, they would be crippled if they didn't die!
They're just ordinary people! They can't handle it!
"Can we go in?" Cheng Zhen asked impatiently, one hand on his hip.
One person hesitated: "How many people are in the car? Are any of them infected with the plague?"
Another person grabbed him, smiling obsequiously as they stepped aside, gesturing for him to pass: "Yes! Of course! Absolutely!"
Cheng Zhen hummed in agreement and returned to the car.
Just as the two breathed a sigh of relief and were about to help the other two injured comrades up, a shockwave of light unexpectedly struck their backs.
Excruciating pain, my skin was torn open!
The two were stunned for a moment, and then both coughed up blood!
They were both knocked to the ground, facing each other, enduring excruciating pain, and wondering: Didn't we say it was a misunderstanding?
Cheng Zhen rested his elbow on the car window and threw out a sentence: "Misunderstanding? You beat and killed ordinary people, this can't be a misunderstanding, can it?"
He had long suspected that the number of people who died from the plague reported in the city was problematic, and his people in the city had also found some clues.
After visiting the Mi family and other prominent figures in the city, he became even more convinced of his suspicions.
There was a plague, but it wasn't as terrible as the rumors suggested.
And those who died, were probably people who were violently suppressed and beaten to death by these people, right?
Cheng Zhen, injured and battered, made his way to the Optical Research Institute on the Third Ring Road, where Yu Tongguang finally received the news.
