At Hua Xiuning’s side, Boss Gong comforted his sister,
"There’s no problem, Dad always has to kill a bunch of enemies when he goes out, just let so of your mutant plants die, and won’t that make Dad and the Garrison Uncles happy?"
"It’s their own fault; if they were all like those mutant roots beneath Xiang City Base, all obedient to you, they wouldn’t have ended up like this today."
Boss Gong spoke with unusual decisiveness, one would never expect such words to co from such a young boy,
"Let Dad help you eliminate the disobedient ones, and all that will be left are the ones that listen to you."
Hua Xiuning’s heart was filled with guilt, "It’s because my powers aren’t strong enough, so those plants don’t listen to ."
She felt very sad, her head tilted, and the entire garden, plants and flowers, moved without wind as if comforting Hua Xiuning.
As Hua Mi, who was about to go to the conference room, looked outside the window at the greenery on both sides of the streets, she asked curiously:
"Did the wind pick up? Why are the leaves rustling all of a sudden?"
Following behind Hua Mi, Qin Zhen also looked puzzled toward the window, then concluded, "It must be the wind."
No one would connect the plants in Xiang City with mutant plants.
After the incident where mutant plants hard people in their school, there were no more incidents of plant-related injuries, neither in the school nor anywhere else inside Xiang City Base.
This was illogical.
The mutant plants Hua Mi had witnessed in her past life were among the biggest dangers in the apocalypse.
When incidents of mutant plants harming people occurred, it ant that the plants’ roots underground had already mutated.
Yet the last ti Yang Honglin organized a team to dig up the school’s flowerbeds, even digging down ten ters, they found no mutant roots.
The roots they dug up were ordinary, showing no movent or aggressiveness.
Other than being sowhat thicker than typical plant roots, there was nothing unusual.
Hua Mi even doubted whether the roots that hurt those children were mutant plants at all, rather than so sort of serpentine mutant animal.
Later, a self-inspection was conducted throughout the entirety of Xiang City Base, and it turned out just as Hua Mi thought, the plants inside the base were very safe.
No poking would budge them.
The rustling trees outside the window must have been due to a sudden gust of wind.
Hua Mi and Qin Zhen, as the first and second in command of the managent layer, took their usual seats in the conference room. Soon, Xiang City Base’s managent devised a plan, confirming the logistical support for the Garrison. After that, a group from the managent team would follow the logistics team to the front lines.
Hua Mi and Qin Zhen had just boarded an armored vehicle when there was movent from Zhang Chuchu.
She was using her phone to send a ssage outside, "Hua Mi and Qin Zhen have already left Xiang City Base."
The reply ca back with two words: "Proceed."
Wearing a mask, Zhang Chuchu arrived outside the villa owned by Hua Mi and Gong Yi.
Inside the villa, Gong Yi and Qin Jianqiang were in the garden helping their sister water the plants when suddenly Boss Gong stopped and said to Qin Jianqiang,
"Zhang Chuchu has co with several strange n."
Qin Jianqiang, tilting his little head, asked, "Do they an us harm? Are they here to kidnap us?"
Boss Gong nodded slightly, "It looks like it."
Qin Jianqiang imdiately ran back to the living room, looking for his children’s watch, ready to call Uncle Yang.
His mother had said that if he encountered sothing he couldn’t handle, he should imdiately contact Uncle Yang.
But his actions were stopped by Boss Gong, "I can handle these people."
Even though he was told to contact Uncle Yang only if things got out of hand, Boss Gong assessed and thought that Zhang Chuchu and her people’s fighting capabilities were not challenging for him.
The doorbell rang, and Boss Gong nodded at Qin Jianqiang, prompting Qin Jianqiang to scurry over and open the door.
"Is Xiuning here? Xiuning?"
Zhang Chuchu, with a friendly and happy face, stood outside the door.
Boss Gong did not show up; she seed a bit more at ease, since Qin Jianqiang wasn’t very intelligent, and Xiuning was even less so.
As long as Boss Gong was not around, it would be easy to take Xiuning away.
Xiuning’s face still had dirt on it; she stood up from a pile of flowers and trees, wearing a white little princess dress with so stains.
A hint of disgust flashed in Zhang Chuchu’s eyes as she waved at Xiuning, "Teacher Zhang will take you out to play, okay?"
Xiuning shook her head; she did not want to go out.
"Co on! I’ll take you to see beautiful flowers."
Zhang Chuchu knew Xiuning liked flowers and foliage, so she was appealing to her interests.
Xiuning’s eyes brightened, and she asked weakly, "Are we going to find my dad? My dad went to exterminate my friends, and I don’t want that."
Deeper contempt showed in Zhang Chuchu’s eyes; what was she even talking about? Insane and intellectually disabled.
But she still nodded, "Yes, we’re going to find your dad."
Xiuning imdiately patted the dirt off her hands and ran out in her dirty princess dress.
She held Zhang Chuchu’s hand, "Then let’s go."
Zhang Chuchu almost wanted to shake Xiuning’s dirty hand off; it was disgusting that this dirty hand, which had just touched the dirt, was now holding hers.
But, considering they were still in Xiang City and she hadn’t gotten Xiuning out of the city yet, she couldn’t make this little fool cry.
So, she had to suppress her disgust and led Xiuning to the car.
Seeing this, Qin Jianqiang anxiously followed behind Xiuning, "Sister shouldn’t go, mom said we shouldn’t go with strangers."
But Boss Gong pushed Qin Jianqiang, "Both of us will go too."
Boss Gong’s body was small, but he was quite strong, and he pushed Qin Jianqiang directly into the back of the car.
By the ti Zhang Chuchu in the front passenger seat realized, she found that two more little heads had appeared in the backseat.
She did not like dealing with Boss Gong much, always feeling that this child was too clever and not easily deceived.
However, now that Qin Jianqiang and Boss Gong were in the car, if she forcefully removed the children who had gotten in, she feared that Xiuning might start bawling.
So taking care of children was really troubleso, especially during the apocalypse; why even have children?
Then, Zhang Chuchu gave the driver beside her a aningful look and made a throat-slitting gesture.
It ant that just in case, once they were out of Xiang City, they would take care of the two kids, Qin Jianqiang and Boss Gong.
The driver gestured an "OK" and placed a hand on Zhang Chuchu’s thigh, giving it a aningful squeeze.
