Beside Hua Xiu Ning, the eldest brother of the Gong family comforted his younger sister.
"It's alright. Dad has to take out a bunch of enemies before he goes out. Just let some of your mutated plants die, and that will satisfy Dad and the garrison uncles, right?"
"They brought this upon themselves. If they were all like those mutated root systems underground in Xiangcheng Base, and listened to you, they wouldn't be in this situation today."
Gong Laoda spoke with unusual decisiveness; no one would have expected such words to come from the mouth of such a young boy.
"Let Dad help you get rid of all the disobedient ones, and then all the ones left will listen to you."
Hua Xiu Ning felt guilty. "It's because I'm not strong enough that those plants didn't listen to me."
She was very sad. She turned her head to the side, and the flowers and plants in the garden moved swaying without wind, as if they were comforting Hua Xiu Ning.
As Hua Mi was about to walk towards the conference room, she looked out the window at the greenery lining both sides of the street and asked curiously:
"Is the wind picking up? Why are the leaves rustling so loudly?"
Qin Zhen followed behind Hua Mi, also looking out the window with a puzzled expression. Finally, she concluded, "It must be getting windy."
No one would associate the plants of Xiangcheng with mutated plants.
After the incident of a mutated plant injuring someone at their school, there have been no further incidents of plants injuring people, either at the school or within the entire Xiangcheng base.
This is illogical.
The mutated plants that Hua Mi had seen in her previous life were the greatest danger in the entire apocalypse.
When mutated plants cause harm to people, it's because the plant's root system underground has already mutated.
However, when Yang Honglin organized people to dig up all the soil in the school's flower beds last time, even digging down to a depth of 10 meters, they found no mutated plant roots.
The plant roots that were dug out were just ordinary; they didn't seem to move or act aggressively.
Aside from having thicker roots than ordinary plants, there's nothing strange about it.
Hua Mi even suspected that what was harming those children was not the mutated plant, but some kind of snake-shaped mutated animal.
Later, the entire Xiangcheng base conducted a self-inspection, and just as Hua Mi believed, the plants inside the Xiangcheng base were very safe.
No matter how I poke it, it won't budge.
The rustling of the trees outside the window must be due to a sudden gust of wind.
Hua Mi and Qin Zhen sat down in the conference room as usual. Soon, the management of Xiangcheng Base formulated a plan. After confirming the logistical supplies for the garrison, the management would also send a group of people to the front line along with the logistics team.
Hua Mi and Qin Zhen, the top two leaders in the management team, had just boarded an armored vehicle.
There was some activity from Zhang Chuchu's side.
She texted someone on her phone: "[Hua Mi and Qin Zhen have left the Xiangcheng base.]"
The reply was just two words: "[Action]".
Wearing a mask, Zhang Chuchu arrived at the villa of Hua Mi and Gong Yi.
Inside the villa, Gong Yi and Qin Jianqiang were watering the flowers in the garden for Gong Yi's younger sister when suddenly Gong Yi stopped and said to Qin Jianqiang...
"Zhang Chuchu arrived with several strange men."
Qin Jianqiang tilted his head and asked, "Are they up to no good? Are they trying to kidnap us?"
Boss Gong nodded slightly, "It looks like it."
Qin Jianqiang immediately ran back to the living room to find his children's watch, intending to call Uncle Yang.
My mother said that if I encounter something that he can't handle, I should contact Uncle Yang immediately.
However, his actions were stopped by Boss Gong, who said, "I can handle these people."
I told you to contact Uncle Yang if you can't handle something, but after weighing the options, I realized that Zhang Chuchu and her group weren't a problem for me.
The doorbell rang, and Boss Gong nodded to Qin Jianqiang, signaling Qin Jianqiang to run over and open the door.
"Is Xiu Ning there? Xiu Ning?"
Zhang Chuchu stood outside the door with a kind and happy smile on her face.
Since Boss Gong didn't show up, she seemed a little more relaxed. Anyway, Qin Jianqiang wasn't very smart, and Hua Xiuning was even more mentally challenged.
As long as Boss Gong isn't around, taking Hua Xiu Ning away would be a piece of cake.
Hua Xiu Ning, her face still covered in dirt, stood up from a pile of flowers, plants, and trees. Her white princess tutu was stained with dirt.
A hint of disdain flashed in Zhang Chuchu's eyes. She waved to Hua Xiuning, "How about Teacher Zhang takes you out to play?"
Hua Xiu Ning shook her head; she didn't want to go out.
"Come on! I'll take you to see the pretty flowers."
Zhang Chuchu knew that Hua Xiuning liked flowers and plants, so she was just catering to her tastes.
Hua Xiu Ning's eyes lit up, and she asked softly, "Are we going to find Dad? My dad went to wipe out my good friends, and I don't want that."
The contempt in Zhang Chuchu's eyes deepened. What on earth was she saying? A lunatic and an idiot.
But she still nodded, "Yes, it's to find your father."
Hua Xiu Ning immediately patted the mud off her hands and ran out the door in her dirty princess dress.
She took Zhang Chuchu's hand with one hand and said, "Let's go then."
Zhang Chuchu wanted nothing more than to fling Hua Xiuning's small hand away. Such a dirty hand, it had just touched the mud, and now it was disgusting to hold her hand.
But considering they were still in Xiangcheng, and before she could get Hua Xiu Ning out of Xiangcheng, she couldn't let that little fool cry.
So he could only suppress his nausea and lead Hua Xiu Ning to the car.
Seeing this, Qin Jianqiang anxiously followed behind Hua Xiuning, saying, "Sister can't go. Mom said we can't go with strangers."
But Gong Laoda gave Qin Jianqiang a push, "Let's both go together."
Despite his small stature, Boss Gong was surprisingly strong, and he pushed Qin Jianqiang directly into the back of the car.
When Zhang Chuchu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, realized what was happening, she discovered that there were two more little kids in the back seat.
She didn't like interacting with Boss Gong, always feeling that the boy was too clever and couldn't be easily fooled.
However, Qin Jianqiang and Gong Laoda are both in the car now. If they forcibly drive the two children away, they are afraid that Hua Xiuning will cry and make a fuss.
So raising children is such a hassle. Why would anyone want to have children in the apocalypse?
So Zhang Chuchu gave the driver next to her a wink and then made a throat-slitting gesture.
This means that, just in case, once we leave Xiangcheng, we should get rid of Qin Jianqiang and Gong Laoda's two children.
The driver gave an "OK" sign, placed one hand on Zhang Chuchu's thigh, and gave it a meaningful squeeze.
