"Sure, I'll take anything that's metal."

Jiang Zhi picked up her notebook and recorded the weight of the metal, its owner, and the number of seeds, for easy reconciliation later.

There were more private bases and lone wolves visiting today, so Jiang Zhi provided less than ten catties of food several times, and carried the excess to the cave.

Some people saw that she had used other people's seeds to grow extra food, but then moved it into her own cave, and they were immediately displeased.

"How could she do this? We provided the seeds, the metals, and the crystals, so why should she get all the surplus food? Shouldn't it all be given to us?"

"Yeah, you're not happy about it? Shut up! The prices are clearly marked on the sign. The extra food is what they earn through their superpowers. If you're not happy, go get it yourself."

"Why are you like this? I think it's unfair, what's wrong with saying a few words? Can't I even speak up?"

"hehe."

"What's this Boss Jiang's real name? Does anyone know?" someone suddenly asked.

Many people were visiting for the first time and didn't know Jiang Zhi's real name; they only heard everyone call her Boss Jiang.

Because no one knew Jiang Zhi's name, and it was said that even the soldiers at the Shuofang base maintained a very friendly and even respectful attitude towards Jiang Zhi, those who wanted to cause trouble dared not act recklessly and all gave up their thoughts.

However, saying a few words won't cause a scene in front of Jiang Zhi.

On the contrary, when actually facing Jiang Zhi, one must be extremely careful, lest one anger Jiang Zhi and cause her to stop producing food, in which case even pleading with the Heavenly King would be of no use.

After finishing everything in the morning, Jiang Zhi closed the iron gate and headed up the mountain. She found a small flat area, took out her binoculars, and looked around to see who was around her.

Qingyuan is a large area. Halfway up the mountain is a villa area, and there are also townhouses at the foot of the mountain. However, due to the earthquake, most of them have been reduced to ruins. Now, some people are digging tunnels based on the ruins.

Because many villas have basements underneath, and because of the foundation, these basements were not completely buried by the ruins, turning into natural caves that people could temporarily live in.

People also live next to his villa.

This is what they call "being near the water tower and getting the moon first".

The temperature had already exceeded fifty degrees Celsius, and Jiang Zhi found it too sunny, so she returned to the shop after only a short while.

Wanfu was lying on the ice, enjoying the cool air. It had stayed inside the cave all morning without coming out, and hadn't attracted anyone's attention.

"Mom, after you left, four groups of people came knocking on the door, but I didn't open it." Wanfu flicked his tail, and his white whiskers twitched.

Jiang Zhi nodded and said, "Well done. I don't need to pay attention to anyone while I'm not around."

"Awooo!"

Jiang Zhi took out four boxed meals, ate one herself, and gave the remaining three to Wanfu. These disposable boxed meals were ones she had packed before the apocalypse under the guise of ordering food for a film crew. The dishes inside were average, but very filling, and there were several thousand of them in her space.

She originally wanted to rub Wanfu's fluffy back, but then she remembered that she had touched Wanfu's head that morning and ended up with her hand covered in fur.

The weather is getting hotter, and Wanfu is shedding a lot of fur, so we need to take care of it.

After the meal, Jiang Zhi took out a large brush and a large iron basin.

Wanfu stared wide-eyed, and for some reason, it inexplicably wanted to lie down in the basin.

Jiang Zhi used a brush to brush off the loose fur on Wanfu's body, and then used scissors to trim its fur.

"Awooo, you beast! Awooo, don't cut! ┗|｀O′|┛ Awooo~~"

Wanfu screamed incessantly. Jiang Zhi patted its head and laughed, "Stop screaming. Do you want everyone to come and watch you get your fur shaved?"

"Waaah, no!" Wanfu stopped crying, letting Jiang Zhi knead and shape it as she pleased.

Jiang Zhi became very interested in doing handicrafts, and while trimming Wanfu's fur, she also practiced her internal energy cultivation.

This seems like a great way to relax. Under Jiang Zhi's scissors, most of Wanfu's thick body hair fell off.

Soon the iron basin was half full of fuzz.

"Look, Mommy's Wanfu has turned into a handsome dinosaur cat." Jiang Zhi took out a mirror and placed it in front of Wanfu, who looked at his own body.

Good heavens!!!

Its illustrious reputation!

What dinosaur cat?

I want my fur!

The fur on its belly and legs had been completely trimmed, leaving a row of triangular fur on its back, like a series of small volcanoes, especially on its head, where the most striking triangular tuft of fur stood upright...

That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying.

Look at this, is it pretty? It's absolutely hideous!

Waaaaah, ┗|｀O′|┛ Ow~~ I need to get dressed.

Wanfu stuck out its tail to cover its rear end, feeling like it was running naked. It remembered that when it watched Journey to the West, the Monkey King wore a tiger-skin skirt made by Tang Sanzang.

"Mom, I want to wear a tiger-skin dress."

What should I wear?

"Tiger-skin skirt! Monkey King, the Handsome Monkey King."

"You brat, wearing a tiger skin in the middle of summer, don't you feel hot?" Jiang Zhi threw down the scissors and moved Wanfu's fur to make room.

Wanfu sat down to one side, his backside facing Jiang Zhi, and said with a resentful look, "Aww, poor Wanfu has no clothes left, Wanfu is practically naked~"

Jiang Zhi: "..." It's just a cool haircut, is it really that big of a deal? Jiang Zhi took out her phone and snapped a few photos of Wan Fu. After that, she developed them and put them in her photo album.

"Alright, alright, don't be upset. I'll dress you in a pretty little dress later, okay?" Jiang Zhi picked up Wanfu. Actually, she hadn't cut it that badly; she had left some fuzz on Wanfu's body, and it still felt prickly to the touch.

Wanfu was immediately happy to have clothes to wear.

Just then, someone knocked on the door again: "Boss Jiang, is Boss Jiang inside?"

It was a man's voice. Jiang Zhi got up and lifted the oilcloth, revealing a crack.

The person knocking on the door was a man wearing a sun hat, who looked to be in his forties or fifties. His face was dark, and he was covered up completely, taking full precautions against the sun.

"What's up?"

"You're Boss Jiang? I'm Hua You from the Guangming Base. I heard you can accelerate grain production and even own a shop. This time, the Guangming Base sent me to specially invite you to the base. As long as you go, we guarantee you the best treatment and will treat you like royalty."

Although Hua said he treated her like an empress dowager, his arrogant expression clearly showed he wasn't sincere.

"What's the meaning?"

“The literal meaning.” Hua finished speaking, and then five men and four women appeared behind him. Like him, they were wrapped in cloth, like the wide robes of a certain ethnic group, and their heads were also wrapped in turbans.

However, these people weren't dressed in such loose clothing, probably to facilitate fighting.

As for the Bright Base, she had heard of it briefly in her previous life.

This is a base located between Jiangcheng and Wancheng. It was originally a small private base, but it gradually expanded into a large base with tens of thousands of people after natural disasters.

In this base, the strong are respected and the weak are enslaved.

They believe in the law of the jungle, with those possessing superpowers being the noble ruling class, while ordinary people are slaves.
