Chapter 8 Second Recognition of Master Supplies
"Mr. Ji, will you please take care of it?"
Ji An looked down and saw that Tangning handed him an egg. Tangning was so greedy that she kept swallowing her saliva, but she still took out the egg.
Eggs in the apocalypse are not something to be saddled with, they are the best. Animals in the apocalypse have mutated, and even the most common chickens before the apocalypse have amazing fighting power in the apocalypse. It is even more difficult to raise them in captivity for humans to lay eggs. It was said earlier that some chickens were contaminated by the zombie virus and could not be eaten.
Eggs naturally become more precious.
Tang Ning had plundered this egg from Tang Tang. If someone else got this good thing, they would have eaten it right away with the shell.
Tang Tang had too much sugar but didn't eat it. He just threw it away after cooking.
Ji An didn't have such luxury. His eggs were rationed, four per month, which was considered a luxury in the base.
Tang Ning's ability was far from enough to support such a lavish lifestyle, so where did she get the money to live such a lavish lifestyle?
Don't tell him that Chen Chen doesn't have his support!
"You eat it, I don't need it." Ji An had no shortage of eggs to eat, so he wasn't greedy. Especially since his hands holding the egg were dirty, with thick mud between his fingernails, he had even less appetite.
Although Chen Chen and Tang Tang are a pair of scumbags and bitches, Ji An's life is really not bad, otherwise Ji An would have quit long ago.
It was because the scumbag and the bitch pretended to be so nice, and Chen Chen looked so devoted to him, that he, Ji An, was deceived.
If Chen Chen hadn't stepped on the scumbag and bitch's sore spot yesterday, he probably wouldn't have been exposed and would have continued to pretend that he loved him deeply.
Tang Ning stole a glance at Ji An's hand. He was holding only a necklace and nothing else.
Ji An was alone, without even a bag on him, so how could he hide food?
Besides, Ji An was different from him. He lived with Chen Chen and Chen's mother. Even if he wanted to escape, he couldn't hide anything in advance. Chen's mother was an old pious woman, and she was famous for being stingy in the base. I'm afraid she would know if someone ate one more grain of rice than the day before.
Tangning knew that she looked dirty, and Ji An must be disgusted by the things she had touched. But this was a special case, and just as she was about to persuade him, Tangning suddenly saw Ji An smile strangely, and then a large chicken drumstick appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Ji An had just used his mental power to contract the necklace a second time, so he was not afraid that the necklace would be destroyed.
Anyway, if he can't open it, only Tang Tang can open it. It would be better to destroy all these supplies than to leave them to Tang Tang.
As for killing Tang Tang and then trying the contract necklace, Ji An couldn't wait. He wanted Tang Tang to live, and live in pain and suffering for a long, long time.
The most important thing is that after thinking about it, Ji An felt that with Tang Tang's cowardly appearance, her mental strength could not be strong enough to imprint a strong contract of destroying both herself and the enemy on the necklace.
At most, it was a mild contract that could be erased a second time at any time, and he guessed it right.
Tang Ning opened her mouth so wide that she could easily stuff the egg in her hand.
"Ji, Mr. Ji, how did you manage to make things appear out of thin air? Have you awakened your spatial ability?" Tangning didn't know the secret of the necklace. She eavesdropped vaguely and the only thing she heard clearly was that Ji An had psychic abilities.
Ji An didn't say yes or no. He took out a large chicken drumstick from his space and threw it to Tangning, "This is for you."
Tang Ning wanted to refuse, but she was too craving for meat. She hadn't eaten meat in several years and had almost forgotten what it tasted like.
His hands were faster than his brain, and by the time he reacted, the chicken leg had already been stuffed into his mouth.
Woo woo woo, meat, this is meat, the smell of meat is so delicious!
Unlike Tangning who ate voraciously, Ji An ate the chicken leg slowly and methodically. If you didn't know him well, you would think he was enjoying a candlelight dinner leisurely instead of on the run.
This chicken leg has no outer packaging, so it is not food from before the apocalypse. It must have been cooked in the apocalypse, or stewed, because there is no time flow in space, so the food can never spoil and taste the same as if it was just cooked.
It tastes good. Such delicacy is really a luxury in the end times. Even if there is no shortage of meat for the supernatural beings to eat, the most they can do is cook it with salt.
Tang Tang can still pick the flavor of food and make brine.
Ji An never knew that Tang Tang's life was so luxurious.
Perhaps that's why there was so much food in her space, almost as much as the food stored in the warehouse in their base.
There are more than a dozen space crystal cores and five or six healing crystal cores in the space.
In addition, Ji An found a dozen papers in the corner. He discovered that they were actually the remuneration receipts he received for his mission at the base, with the signatures of his leader Tang Tang and the base commander Chen Chen on them.
Ji An's eyes darkened. Didn't they say that he had been working for nothing all these years? Then why were there these receipts?
The receipt accurately records what tasks he completed and what his remuneration was.
Ji An remembered some of the missions and found the remuneration to be fair.
"February 16, 2132: Task of killing edible livestock. Reward: half a head of mutant pork, two whole mutant rabbits, five mutant eggs, and ten kilograms of food."
"May 2, 2130: Outbound mission, reward: 100 kilograms of food, 100 kilograms of flour, five barrels of grain and oil, and 10 kilograms of sugar."
Ji An had some impression of this mission. They found a small grain store with food.
According to the rules of the base, 70% is to be handed over and confiscated, and the remaining 30% is used as compensation and distributed according to work.
"November 25, 2133, ground mission, reward: 50 kilograms of food, 20 liters of oil, 10 kilograms of meat, 10 kilograms of sugar, 1 kilogram of vegetables, and 5 apples."
Ji An only glanced at a few of them and stopped looking because there were too many lists.
But just by taking a few glances, he already knew how much he had earned over the years!
With these supplies, not only can he live a good life, but he can also raise a few canaries to live well.
But he didn't suffer any loss either, because the things in this space now were far more than what he had earned.
Except for the materials earned by Tang Tang and Chen Chen, the rest should have been embezzled by the two.
Now it's all cheap for him.
There was so much food that even if he ate and drank lavishly from now on and squandered it every day, it would be enough for him to spend for several lifetimes.
Ji An sneered, withdrew his mental power from the space, and carried out a second forced contract.
It is the most overbearing contract. If he dies, the space will also die.
At this time, he had just finished eating the chicken drumstick. After drinking a few sips of water, he said to Tangning, "I still have a few barrels of oil in my space. Let's find a car with the keys and drive away."
"Okay." Tangning suddenly felt that Ji An was very mysterious and he seemed to have many secrets.
When everyone in the base thought he was an ordinary person, he had actually awakened his psychic ability. And when she thought he had only awakened his psychic ability, he also awakened his spatial ability.
Perhaps Ji An had noticed something was wrong with Tang Tang and Chen Chen a long time ago. Although as far as Tangning knew, the two of them were not having an affair at the moment, but the way they looked at each other occasionally was so charming. Was it only a matter of time before they ended up having an affair?
Maybe Ji An also knew about it, so he kept it a secret after an unexpected awakening. He did this just to save up enough money to escape. This was a very normal routine operation. It was impossible for him to confront Chen Chen head-on, right?
Regardless of whether Ji An could beat Chen Chen, Chen Chen was the base commander. To fight against him was to fight against everyone in the base. A good tiger cannot stand up to a pack of wolves. Of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best strategy. As long as you have the green mountains, you will never worry about having no firewood.
Tang Ning thought he knew the truth and felt that he was quite smart. He raised his head and began to search through the cars parked on the street one by one, trying to find one with the car keys.
"This way, come here." Ji An waved and Tang Ning hurried over.
Ji An filled the tank with gas and started the car, saying, "Can you drive? If you can, come and help me later. If you can't, I'll teach you. It's very simple. Just distinguish the brake and accelerator."
Anyway, the streets are deserted in the end times. Except for the superpowers on missions, ordinary people don't leave the base at all. As for the superpowers, there are almost no people on the road. The superpowers have strong bodies, and they won't die if they are hit, and they won't even get scratched.
"I have a driver's license, but I've never been on the road." Tang Ning swallowed his saliva. It was so wild.
Ji An nodded, that's enough. In the end times, people who drive without a license are still running around.
The two of them took turns driving along the way. Tang Ning was required to drive on simple sections. Ji An told her how to drive in advance and told her where to let him take over.
If they encounter a lone zombie, the two will stop and deal with it.
After all, there are crystal cores in the zombies' brains. Crystal cores are hard currency, which can be said to be equivalent to money before the end of the world and can be exchanged for supplies.
The reason why crystal cores have replaced coins as hard currency is because psychics need crystal cores to upgrade their superpowers.
However, not every zombie has a crystal core in its brain, just like not all humans are mutants.
Moreover, the crystal cores in the zombies' brains are of different levels, and the zombies are also evolving. The higher the level of the zombies, the more powerful they are, and the quicker their reactions are. When a low-level mutant faces a high-level zombie, his combat power is weaker than that of a high-level zombie if he fights alone. When they are at the same level, who wins or loses depends on personal ability.
If a psychic wants to upgrade his ability level, he needs to absorb zombie crystal cores with the same ability attributes, but this method of improvement can only go upward, not downward.
The abilities of psychics are divided into seven levels, and each level is divided into three sections: initial, middle and peak.
In the early and middle stages, you can improve your superpowers by absorbing crystal cores of the same level. When you reach the peak period, absorbing crystal cores of the same level will be useless for improving your superpowers, and you need to absorb crystal cores of a higher level to improve your superpowers.
The power of a psychic is the same as the physical strength of a person. Long-term use will exhaust the power. At this time, the power can be restored by resting, or by quickly absorbing crystal cores to restore the power.
High-level crystal cores can restore physical strength quickly, followed by crystal cores of the same level, and low-level crystal cores are the slowest.
Ji An and his friends took turns driving like this for four days without sleep, and finally reached their destination when the gasoline stored in the space was completely used up.
This is a small rural village far away from Beijing. The houses in the village are very dilapidated, and it is hard to tell what it was like before the end of the world seven years ago.
"Hiss...Ha..." A slow-moving zombie turned out from the street corner. This zombie probably hadn't seen a stranger for a long time. When it suddenly saw two living people, it made strange noises in excitement.
"Kill him!" Ji An said, "Don't let his screams attract more zombie companions."
Zombies have almost no vision, and they mainly rely on their noses and ears to determine the location of living things.
As long as it is a living being with flesh and blood, whether it is a human being or other livestock, it is the blood food that zombies like.
"Yes." Tangning jumped out of the car with an axe in hand. It was time for her to show off her skills. Even though she was just an ordinary person, she wanted to prove to Ji An that she was not a useless person who only knew how to rely on others for protection.
