The man was holding a gold brick.

The gold brick was tossed onto the table with a dull metallic thud.

Jiang Zhi weighed it and said, "This can be exchanged for a pound of grain."

"Are you Jiang Zhi?" the man in black robes suddenly called out Jiang Zhi's name.

"What?" Before Jiang Zhi could move, Wan Fu behind the oilcloth had already become alert.

"Hehehe, Jiang Zhi, so you're here!" The black-robed man's voice was hoarse, and Jiang Zhi couldn't tell who he was.

Jiang Zhi didn't care who this person was at all; she would deal with whatever came her way.

There were still four groups of people in line behind them, and seeing this scene, they couldn't help but be puzzled.

So Boss Jiang's name is Jiang Zhi. Also, what is the meaning of this man in black robes?

Are they coming to seek revenge?

One of them looked at the man in black robes with schadenfreude, chuckling to himself, "Heh heh, I just witnessed Jiang Zhi slaughter more than ten superhumans."

This combat power is simply the fighter jet among superhumans!

Going against Jiang Zhi is like throwing an egg against a rock.

"Keep the gold bricks for now, I'll come find you tonight." The man in black robes flicked his sleeves and left.

Jiang Zhi, expressionless, tossed the gold bricks onto the pile of scrap metal and called out, "Next."

The person who came wanted to say something, but hesitated and said nothing. He signed up and asked his companion to weigh the metal he brought, which weighed out to be 1,260 jin.

After everyone had registered, Jiang Zhi began to urge the animals to reproduce according to the amount of grain calculated in the notebook.

Those who have bought grain from Jiang Zhi will have seeds stored in their possession.

Because Jiang Zhi needed to provide seeds to exchange for grain, some people started a seed business.

The seeds were driven to an extremely high price and were also put on the robbery list.

These are not within Jiang Zhi's consideration. Things related to human nature cannot withstand any test, so there is no need for guilt or concern.

The afternoon sun was too intense, and the shop was deserted. After absorbing the metallic elements, Jiang Zhi closed the shop and went back to the basement.

Wanfu darted to the door like lightning, then gently knocked, and the door opened a moment later.

"Oh my god!" Wanfu said, rubbing his nose with his front paw as he walked. "It's choking meow!"

Jiang Zhi didn't say anything, but handed it a wet wipe.

Wanfu wiped his mouth, threw the wet wipe into the trash can, and then said, "This is the only time in my life I've ever seen several human females and males hugging each other, not even feeling hot in this sweltering heat."

"Did you find out about the man in black robes?" Jiang Zhi handed Wanfu another iced cola. Wanfu took a deep breath, and looked as respectable as could be while sitting on the small stool.

"Of course! Mom, you didn't see it with your own eyes. That guy was so ugly I almost threw up my dinner from last night. Oh, and I heard the name Wei Hui in their mouths, along with something about a key and a map. Could it be a treasure map? So Wei Hui was killed."

"Maybe what you're thinking is right," Jiang Zhi said, feeling embarrassed.

It's true that Wei Hui died at her doorstep, but now that the key and map are involved, it's absurd.

In the apocalypse, killing people doesn't need to be concealed at all, and the fact that they don't eradicate the root of the problem is even more absurd.

"Oh, right, that ugly guy is also holding a female."

“Use a woman instead of a female, or I’ll personally cut off your testicles and turn you into a eunuch.” Jiang Zhi couldn’t stand the word “female” coming out of Wan Fu’s mouth.

Wanfu opened its round eyes. Although it couldn't understand what it was saying, it was greatly shocked. For a moment, it even felt a chill between its legs.

“They are…” Wanfu didn’t know where it was now.

Jiang Zhi said earnestly, "Qingyuan, our home is called Qingyuan."

"Qingyuan, keep going that way." Wanfu pointed east: "Go all the way east, cross six main streets, and there's a pedestrian overpass under there. There are lots of people there, and there's water too."

Jiang Zhi looked through the offline map and roughly knew the location.

Even though she knew the direction, she didn't plan to take the initiative, after all, the man in black said he would come to find her that night, right?

It's such a long way, and she can't fly.

She was a little curious about how these people knew about her.

Wei Hui died inexplicably in front of her shop, and the story behind it is related to this man in black robes.

Jiang Zhi continued her normal eating and drinking routine, having recently prepared a plate of pistachios and almonds, and drinking beverages when thirsty. She had also recently opened a bottle of white wine, which had a slightly sweet aftertaste and tasted quite good.

I occasionally take it out and have a couple of sips.

Who cares what you eat with foreign liquor these days? She just likes to have a plate of peanuts with it. She used to stock up on things haphazardly, but she never lacked peanuts, especially crispy peanuts, one of which is enough to fill your mouth with fragrance.

The clock struck six in the afternoon. Jiang Zhi changed into a white silk short-sleeved top and light green silk wide-leg pants. The pants had a nice drape and were quite sun-protective. She wore thick-soled sandals. She had been wearing this outfit for a while now, and she had more than a dozen of the same clothes.

When she was stocking up on clothes, she deliberately stocked up on a lot so that no one would know she had changed her clothes every day.

After leaving the space, Jiang Zhi and Wan Fu walked side by side. The air was filled with heat waves, and the soil on the ground was almost completely cracked.

She had barely moved the table out when people came carrying things over from a distance.

"Boss Jiang, from now on, we'll be selling grain at night." After the metal was weighed, the man dug a hole in the soil that Jiang Zhi had indicated and planted the seeds.

"Okay." Jiang Zhi quickly accelerated the ripening of the grain.

A total of eleven jin were paid.

"Then we'll come back at night next time." The man, carrying the millet and straw, left with his companion, smiling broadly.

Jiang Zhi shook her head; a year after the apocalypse, she rarely saw a simple, honest smile on other people's faces.

That's how people are; if they can find balance even in adversity, it's worth dying for.

No sooner had the man come down the mountain than he encountered a group of robbers.

The smiling man carefully picked up the grains of millet that were almost stained with blood, one grain at a time.

"They almost ruined the grain, they deserve to die!"

"These thieves, the grain was clearly with Boss Jiang, they could have just exchanged it for some more metal, but they insisted on robbing it, and now they've robbed themselves."

"Haha, let's collect more metal tomorrow and exchange it for more grain so that the women and children in the house will have something to eat."

Jiang Zhi vaguely heard screams, rubbed the gold brick in her pocket, and silently shook her head.

Don't think that just because someone looks honest they're easy to bully. When honest people get tough, no monster or demon can hide from them.

Even as night fell, no one came to exchange the food.

"Mom, is the black-robed man trying to trick us?"

Wanfu shook the tarpaulin at the entrance of the hole, and a small white ball rolled out.

Huh, what's this? Wanfu picked up the little white ball with one paw and shook it, feeling that there was something inside.

"Mom, what's this?" Wanfu carried the little white ball to Jiang Zhi's face.

Ping-pong ball? Jiang Zhi broke the ping-pong ball open, revealing a key wrapped in a piece of white soft paper.

What is that?

"It must be a treasure map!" Wanfu exclaimed in surprise.

It turns out that what's shown on TV is all true!
