Natural Disaster, I Madly Hoard Supplies and Flee

Jiang Zhi struggled bitterly in the apocalypse for ten years, but ultimately couldn't survive the world's cruelty. During those ten years, Jiang Zhi witnessed all sorts of tragic scenes. Pu...

Chapter 45 Reporting

The first thing to do upon entering the base is to turn in the mission. The mission points for the weather station aren't very high, only four hundred.

Then she went to the Superpower Center, where the gallbladder of the mutated python could be exchanged for 1,500 points, and the snake skin for 1,000 points, for a total of 2,500 points.

"You encountered a mutated python in Jinhe District? What were its characteristics? Did you deal with it alone, or...?" Sun Zhiwei, one of the heads of the Superpower Center, rushed downstairs as soon as he heard that someone had killed a mutated python.

He has water-based superpowers, which are currently not very useful. In addition, he was an official before the apocalypse and continued to be an official after the apocalypse.

"It wasn't me alone; it was a group that killed it. Its skin was incredibly tough, its whole body was covered in poisonous slime, and it could even spray venom. It was extremely difficult to deal with," Jiang Zhi said calmly.

"Who else?"

"They will come to you on their own."

"How did you kill them? With superpowers or something?"

"I think I have everything. I've used everything that can save my life. This snake is too difficult to deal with," Jiang Zhi said ambiguously.

"May I ask what kind of special ability Miss Jiang Zhi possesses?"

"Ice type".

"Have you registered as a person with superpowers?" Liu Zhiwei asked.

"No."

"That……"

"We'll talk about registration later. I want to go back and rest. That's all I know, and I've said everything." Jiang Zhi got up and walked out without saying goodbye or staying.

Liu Zhiwei didn't stop her; most people with superpowers have their own quirks. She was able to provide the center with snake gallbladders and skins immediately, and describe the characteristics of the mutated python—she had done a lot.

Jiang Zhi's points card reached a total of 5813. After paying two more months' rent, she had 5213 points left on her points card.

She had just left the real estate agency when she saw Yan Zhi and Wang Wan enter the Superpower Center.

Jiang Zhi didn't pay much attention to the two of them; she drove home to rest.

Just as I parked the car, I ran into Zhou Heng, who was on patrol with his patrol team.

"Jiang Zhi, you live here?" After gesturing for the others to continue patrolling, Zhou Heng walked straight up to Zhou Zhi.

"Yes, have you heard that several people have gone missing in this area, one of whom lived in building 16?"

Jiang Zhi shook her head and said, "I don't know. I never strike up conversations with others, and I don't pay attention to neighborhood gossip."

This is consistent with Jiang Zhi's personality and usual approach. However, the girlfriend of the missing person in Building 16 is very difficult to deal with, as long as she has nothing to do with Jiang Zhi.

"Be careful and do not act alone."

“Okay.” Jiang Zhi nodded, glanced at the car, and then asked Zhou Heng, “Do you know where we can park in the base? The temperature is too low, and if this car is exposed again, it will be ruined.”

Zhou Heng thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there is, but it requires points. It costs 280 points a month, which is almost as much as the rent for a one-bedroom apartment."

"Can it keep the car warm?" Jiang Zhi asked.

"The military vehicle parking area is underground, where the temperature is kept between five and minus ten degrees Celsius, which is much better than the open air. If you want to park, I can give you a back door."

"Never mind then, I'm really sorry to trouble you." As soon as Jiang Zhi heard about using connections, she immediately gave up the idea.

She and Zhou Heng were not related, so why would Zhou Heng give her preferential treatment?

Upon hearing Jiang Zhi's refusal, Zhou Heng knew he had made a mistake. This girl never took advantage of others; his words had been like dancing on her sensitive area.

"It's not like you're using connections. There are over twenty private cars parked there, and you have to pay 280 points every month. If you want to park there, you can just sign up directly."

In the end, under Zhou Heng's guidance, Jiang Zhi earned 560 points at the quartermaster department, which allowed her to park in the base's underground parking lot for two months.

After Jiang Zhi drove the car in, she went to the supermarket and bought a bag of frozen dumplings for Zhou Heng, as a way of treating him to a meal.

Zhou Heng wanted to refuse, but Jiang Zhi's attitude was too forceful, so he had no choice but to accept.

Sure enough, she was an exceptionally stubborn girl.

After the apocalypse, many people hoped to take advantage of others, but this girl was different.

That evening, Zhou Heng ate half a bag of dumplings with a smile, and left the rest by the window to continue freezing.

It is said that Yan Zhi and Wang Wan brought back the venomous fangs and some flesh of the mutated python, which undoubtedly brought new samples to the base research center.

Their accounts were largely consistent with Jiang Zhi's. When asked what kind of superpower Jiang Zhi possessed, Yan Zhi subconsciously answered that it was ice-based.

Because she clearly saw Jiang Zhi throw out an ice arrow, it must be an ice-type arrow.

They encountered it by chance while on a mission. Jiang Zhi was almost seriously injured by the snake, and it seems that he saved her life.

That evening, Yan Zhi and Wang Wan returned home carrying half a backpack full of frozen luncheon meat cans. As soon as they opened the door, they saw Jiang Zhi coming down with a burlap sack.

"Ten pounds of sweet potatoes and three pounds of potatoes. The potatoes are to thank you for helping me today. Thank you." Jiang Zhi poured the things on the ground, and then stepped out the door amidst Wang Wan's joy.

"Miss Jiang Zhi is truly a treasure."

Faced with Wang Wan's unreserved praise, Jiang Zhi's eyes curved into a smile.

She kept these sweet potatoes and potatoes on the ice until they were completely frozen before bagging them and taking them down, all to avoid arousing suspicion.

On the way back today, Jiang Zhi threw Li Erwei and the mutated wolfhound's corpses into the snowdrift, almost forgetting about them.

The corpse has been left in the space; it's quite eerie.

Jiang Zhi nestled on the sofa, enjoying a hearty meal with Wan Fu.

A person and a cat enjoy various snacks while watching TV series. This kind of life is both fulfilling and simple and happy.

That evening, Jiang Zhi noticed that it was snowing heavily again outside, and cleverly decided to park her car in the basement that day.

Wanfu warmed the bed for Jiang Zhi, who sat cross-legged on the bed with a green crystal in her hand, wondering if she could absorb it this time.

Jiang Zhi held the crystal, trying to sense it with her heart... but there was still no response.

Therefore, she did not awaken any special abilities.

Jiang Zhi was frustrated. The energy contained in a green crystal could allow a superhuman to unleash several powerful attacks continuously, so why did it become useless to her?

Left with no other option, they had to throw the crystal into the box in the space.

Jiang Zhi lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

Today's battle against a level-three mutated animal clearly exposed her weaknesses.

In terms of game concepts, her two skills have flaws: one is that she cannot deal damage to multiple targets, and the other is that she is too weak to kill a level 3 mutated animal in one hit.

Another issue is that her weapon is too weak. In her previous life, she relied on a kitchen knife because she always lived in a group. In the group, as a strength-type ability user, she could barely be considered a shield, and her output relied on fire and ice ability users.

If I don't hone myself into a well-rounded individual from the very beginning of my life, I'll suffer the same fate as I have today.

Of course, without Yan Zhi's help, she could kill the mutated python with great effort, but she would be seriously injured.
