Xu Manzhi ran wildly, chasing the scent in the air.

In the end times, after the eternal night descends, there is no light in the world, and eyesight becomes almost useless. However, the sense of smell becomes exceptionally sensitive, allowing one to identify a single scent among hundreds of others.

Even the faintest scent could be detected by her.

She walked incredibly fast, chasing him all the way to a small alley. There she saw a strange man standing at the end of the alley, a burly man wrapped in white gauze on a sweltering day.

The smell has become stronger.

The weirdo is her MHC.

Xu Manzhi's eyes lit up.

Just as she was about to step forward and grab the man, the weirdo suddenly turned around, his eyes sharp as knives, and glared at her fiercely.

Then, right in front of her, the weirdo kicked several times and leaped over the wall.

The Haicheng Military Region was right in front of us!

Tracing back from the original owner's memories, she knew clearly that in the 1970s, soldiers were armed with firearms, and ordinary people were not allowed to carry guns.

Going in would be like stirring up a hornet's nest.

But her little Lei Lei didn't come along...

"Comrade, what are you doing here?"

Suddenly, two middle-aged women wearing red armbands appeared behind me.

Visual monitoring device...

The arrest operation failed.

Therefore, she turned to face the older woman and gave her a harmless and innocent smile: "I just saw a white cat on the wall and came over out of curiosity. I'll be leaving now."

Anyway, her MHC is located in the Haicheng Military Region.

There's no escaping it.

She would search the entire city to catch him.

Even if it's taken by force or robbery, so what?

Xu Manzhi turned around and went back to the Jiang family.

Upon entering the courtyard, one could see a brand-new Phoenix brand bicycle parked in front of the Jiang family's gate.

Goodness.

The forging process is perfect, and the triangular three-dimensional shape makes it a vehicle that is almost a dream for people in the post-apocalyptic world, from the front and handlebars to the wheels.

The Xu family survived in the apocalypse by digging tunnels.

However, decades into the apocalypse, resources have long been exhausted. Even a top warlord with a car but no energy source is no match for a human-powered bicycle.

She touched the front of the car with her fingers, reluctant to let go.

"Well, I've met your first condition. I've also got your separate household registration booklet ready for you." Jiang Pengyue tossed a household registration booklet to her.

The bicycles consumed her savings, but let's not go into that.

But to open a separate account, she had to exert every ounce of her strength and spend a large sum of money to beg Uncle Zhong for help in obtaining a household registration book.

"Not bad, not bad."

Xu Manzhi took the household registration booklet and smiled with satisfaction.

"Then what do you want me for?" Jiang Pengyue asked with a look of apprehension.

Three conditions must be met, and two must be fulfilled.

Finally, please don't suggest that she change her parents' minds or prevent her from marrying that ugly bastard Yan Lin.

She doesn't have that ability.

Xu Manzhi tucked the household registration book into her pocket and gently smiled, saying, "Don't be afraid, I won't make things difficult for you. This last condition is..."

Just as she was about to voice her thoughts, she saw Jiang's father, Jiang Mingda, approaching with a furious expression.

"Xu Manzhi, look what you've done! Now the whole city knows my family has an unfilial daughter!" Jiang Mingda rebuked, his face ashen.

As soon as he returned to his workplace, the neighborhood committee notified him to keep a close watch on Xu Manzhi and prevent her from openly seizing the village's public property, the tractor, and frightening the women to death...

If he hadn't intervened, Xu Manzhi's tractor-driving recklessly through the streets would have made it onto the city's blacklist in the newspaper!

He was reprimanded by the mayor, looking utterly humiliated.

If Zhou Xiangqun hadn't intervened in time, things would have been really awkward.

He deeply regretted his actions.

If I had known that Xu Manzhi was as stupid as a pig, I shouldn't have inquired about her in the first place, and I shouldn't have brought her back to Haicheng from the mountains.

A jinx!

Xu Manzhi glanced at Jiang Mingda, picked at her ear, and before he could react, she darted in front of her father like lightning.

"Speak louder! The Jiang family are all beasts? Dad, don't be insulting yourself!"

Xu Manzhi opened her mouth wide and shouted loudly and fiercely.

They seemed afraid that people inside and outside the courtyard wouldn't hear them.

"You, you—"

Jiang Mingda was so angry that his eyes trembled.

He never expected Xu Manzhi to be so audacious as to openly insult her biological father.

This is insane! This is insane!

Xu Manzhi is out of her mind!

"Manzhi, why are you making Dad angry? If you upset him, you won't get away with it either, will you?" Jiang Pengyue quickly stepped forward to pretend to mediate.

She couldn't wait for Xu Manzhi to say a few more words of abuse.

The more arrogant and unreasonable a rich girl is, the better.

This only made her appear more noble and well-mannered.

It's better if the youngest daughter doesn't say anything.

After being persuaded, Jiang Mingda's anger flared up. He also remembered his wife's words that, no matter what, Xu Manzhi had Jiang family blood flowing in her veins.

This seems to say: Look how despicable the bloodline of the Jiang family is.

In an instant, Jiang Mingda flew into a rage.

"Xu Manzhi, get back inside! From today onwards, if you dare to go out again without my permission, I will report you to the police station as a vagrant!" he said angrily.

It's not a big deal.

Sacrificing family for the greater good!

Quite a few people have done this in the past.

Many people rise to high positions without much effort.

Jiang Pengyue's expression was strange.

Could she have fallen for Xu Manzhi's trick?

She was rushing, that little brat had made sure she got her household registration book back today...

No, no.

impossible.

Xu Manzhi doesn't have the ability to foresee the future, so how could she possibly guess Jiang Mingda's thoughts and make arrangements in advance? If she had that ability, she wouldn't have squandered such a good hand...

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Xu Manzhi couldn't help but want to laugh.
