Chapter 111. Shen Jinwen
The woman with a high ponytail quickly changed her clothes. When she came out, her eyes fell on the water cup. She didn't find it strange when she found that Xu Zhi didn't drink the water. After all, if it were her, she wouldn't drink this glass of water either, even if she didn't add anything to it.
There was also a lot of blood on her hair, but it was definitely too late to take a shower now. She just let her hair down and wiped it with a towel before sitting across from Xu Zhi. After forcing herself not to look at the python, she asked Xu Zhi with a slightly stiff voice, "What information do you want to exchange with me?"
Xu Zhi didn't answer her question first, but instead eased the atmosphere a little: "Sister, why don't we exchange information and get to know each other a little better? After all, we'll all be living in this building in the future, so maybe we'll see each other often."
The woman had no objection to this and nodded. "My name is Shen Jinwen, a native of Yuncheng. I just graduated from university and came back. For some reasons, I didn't have time to leave. I have been interested in cold weapons since I was a child and learned a few moves. I never thought that one day they would come in handy."
Shen Jinwen's words were very general, but for the two people who had just met, this level was enough.
After saying that, she looked at Xu Zhi and asked, "What about you?"
Xu Zhi first said his name, then said calmly, "I didn't have much education, and my health isn't very good, so I was left here."
Shen Jinwen looked at her with a hint of surprise. In fact, when she first saw Xu Zhi, she had guessed whether this girl was still in the city because of her health. So what surprised her now was not this, but Xu Zhi's overly calm attitude.
Xu Zhi ignored her gaze and looked at the black snake at his feet. "This is my pet, or you could say my supernatural power. It awakened not long ago. What about you, sister? Do you have any supernatural powers? When did you awaken?"
The other party had already confessed his extraordinary ability, so Shen Jinwen naturally couldn't hide it. She nodded and said, "Yes, I awakened my ability about two days after the city was closed. My ability can be said to be related to my knife."
"Oh? That's quite a coincidence."
Xu Zhi said it was a coincidence, but he didn't think it was just a simple coincidence.
The brief exchange of information ended there, and Xu Zhi was ready to get down to business. She thought asking each other questions was too inefficient. Less than two weeks had passed since the disaster began, and it was impossible for someone left alone to have much information. So, she simply said, "Let's exchange information. Each person can question the value of the other person's information, but it must be reasonable. The exchange will end when one party feels they no longer need it."
"Oh, by the way, forget about the news that's too worthless. I'm not really interested in it, and I won't tell you cheap and useless news. If that's okay, sister, can you start first?"
Her tone sounded negotiable, but her words were a bit overbearing. After all, she was the one holding the power now, so to be honest, this was not an excessive behavior.
Sitting opposite Xu Zhi with her hair loose, Shen Jinwen looked a little gentler than in the corridor. Xu Zhi observed her closely at this time and found that she was casually wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and her exposed arms had smooth muscles. Although not particularly exaggerated, she looked very powerful.
Xu Zhi couldn't help but feel sad when she thought of her weak arms that seemed like they could break with a single pinch. Although she didn't like the exaggerated look of her muscles, she did have some complaints about her body.
Shen Jinwen's face can be considered pretty at best. Her eyebrows are not messy and are somewhat sharp. Her jawline is clearer than that of an ordinary girl. Even when she is sitting quietly at this moment, she seems to have a sense of sharpness.
She answered Xu Zhi's question in a clear and crisp voice: "I don't know much information, but it's quite valuable in my opinion."
"Currently, only a small number of people remaining in the city can resist the fog and maintain their sanity. Of the majority who can't resist, some have died directly, while others have gone mad. The madmen are extremely aggressive towards humans who still retain their sanity. They hunt normal humans, especially those who have awakened extraordinary abilities. Moreover, most of those who have gone mad have extremely low IQs, but their bodies gradually become like monsters. A very small number retain a certain level of intelligence, but their values and outlook are completely different from those of humans. Their bodies do not become stronger, but they gain some extraordinary abilities."
"In short, there seem to be two branches of insane people now. The rare intelligent ones, in my opinion, are more dangerous. They will lead those lunatics who have lost their wisdom, and the extraordinary abilities they awaken are also very strange. I haven't found any weaknesses yet."
When she said this, Shen Jinwen's tone was slightly frustrated. After she finished speaking, she looked at Xu Zhi, indicating that this round of information exchange was just this.
Very useful information. It seems that Shen Jinwen often goes out and indeed knows more than people like Xu Zhi who always stay at home.
However, Xu Zhi also has information that is difficult for others to know now.
She mentally categorized what she knew and picked out a few: "All extraordinary abilities, whether they be human, alien monster, or mutating animal, have attributes. Perhaps the way to restrain those madmen lies in their attributes."
Xu Zhi only said this, and she thought it was enough.
Before this, even though supernatural abilities had appeared for about a year, no one had ever proposed the concept of attributes. This was earth-shattering news. In Xu Zhi's opinion, she was even sold cheaply to Shen Jinwen.
Today, Yuncheng has become a dead city that has completely lost contact with the outside world. The outside world may have realized the existence of attributes, but this may not be the case within Yuncheng.
Xu Zhi did not intend to rest on his laurels with this piece of news.
".Are you telling the truth?"
Shen Jinwen frowned slightly and couldn't help but question. Xu Zhi could understand her doubts. She just nodded and replied: "It didn't happen before, but it doesn't mean it doesn't happen now. There was no such fog before. There is no need for me to lie to you about such a thing."
Even based on the obscure descriptions in the game's narration, Xu Zhi suspected whether the attributes were related to the arrival of the fog.
But she definitely wouldn't tell Shen Jinwen this.
Shen Jinwen already believed 70% of Xu Zhi's words, and there was a reason why he believed it so quickly.
She took something out of her pocket and held it in her hand. She looked at Xu Zhi and said, "Do you recognize this?"
The palm slowly opened, and what lay in Shen Jinwen's hand was something that Xu Zhi was very familiar with, yet a little strange.
A light blue attribute core.
