"What are you thinking about with that little head of yours?" Jiang Zhi unfolded the crumpled paper, which actually had some routes drawn on it.
"You guessed it."
"Hehe, yeah, I've been watching detective movies lately." Wanfu chuckled foolishly.
Gold and silver treasures might have been somewhat useful before the apocalypse, but they become useless afterward. Going to such lengths to create blueprints is truly unreasonable.
Unless it's something that can enhance the abilities of those with superpowers.
This ping-pong ball must have been the one Wei Hui stuffed into the cave in her shop that night. Wei Hui was almost raped that night, and she happened to be passing by and saved her.
She never expected that she would be murdered that night, and that she would die in front of the shop.
Jiang Zhi is now curious about what the key is used for.
They can even kill people.
Throughout her two lives, she maintained relatively clear and distant relationships with others, without delving deeply into any powerful factions, which allowed her to easily extricate herself from such situations.
Wei Hui is just an ordinary person, so how did she get involved with these forces?
The information Zhou Heng gave her included details about the various shelters in Jiangcheng. Wei Hui had spoken with her before; she came from a private base destroyed by a natural disaster. The order there was a feudal dictatorship that had regressed thousands of years.
I heard that the base leader has a harem of women and has even bestowed titles upon some of them as concubines.
The base was destroyed after a major flood and earthquake.
Wei Hui escaped with the child.
Sure enough, there are no simple people in the apocalypse. Wei Hui ran with the child, and also grabbed this ping-pong ball.
This thing was very important to them, which is why they were killed.
All of this was just Jiang Zhi's conjecture, and even as a conjecture, it was enough to leave her speechless. Why would someone who can't even support themselves and their child meddle in other people's business?
The children are the ones who suffer.
Now this child has become even more ruthless towards her.
She couldn't possibly kill someone just because of a child's glance.
"Mom, someone's here." Wanfu pressed his ear to the ground.
Jiang Zhi lit an oil lamp, using palm oil, which didn't have such a strong odor. After the lamp was lit, Jiang Zhi took a picture of the paper, then crumpled it into a small ball and pressed it into a ping-pong ball.
"Mom, let's burn it thoroughly this time, so we don't have to move the body. We can use it as fertilizer."
"arrange."
Jiang Zhi spread her arms slightly, and the spiritual energy in her dantian formed a small vortex. With the stimulation of the external environment, the Immortal's Guidance technique was strengthened even more, and she could now burn the corpse to ashes.
Although it was her first time cultivating, this casual cultivation method seemed to be something she had mastered without a teacher.
The man in black robes did indeed arrive, accompanied by two others in gray robes. The skin peeking out from the cuffs of the two gray robes didn't appear as old as the man in black robes.
The man in black robes got straight to the point without any unnecessary words: "Jiang Zhi, I've heard so much about you."
"Oh?" Jiang Zhi sat in the old chair, swaying back and forth. "How much have I heard of you?"
Black Robe: "..." Damn it, you're so cunning.
"Hand over the key!" Before the man in black could continue, the man in gray shouted in a thick Mandarin accent.
"Hey, don't talk about keys yet. I'm curious, do you know me? Do I know you?" Jiang Zhi moved her hand as she leaned back in her chair.
Another man in gray robes said, "Whether you know her or not is not important, you definitely know Wei Hui!"
"I really don't know him."
Black robe, gray robe: "..."
"Don't refuse a toast only to suffer the consequences."
Jiang Zhi laughed and said, "Do you know what happened to the last person who said that?"
The man in black raised his hand to stop the two men in gray robes, then said to Jiang Zhi, "The white ping-pong ball that Wei Hui gave you is useless to you. It was ours, and she stole it. Give it back to us, and we'll pretend nothing happened."
"Otherwise!" The black-robed man stretched out his hand, and lightning crackled in his palm.
"Kill me?" Jiang Zhi spoke the next question for the man in black.
Just then, two groups of people, totaling thirty, were carrying metal up and happened to witness this scene.
"This? Boss, we..."
"Wait, put your things down first and watch the show." The person called the leader started watching the show, so the group of thirty people lined up in two or three rows and squatted down in place.
They're just waiting for the fight to break out.
They had only just heard that a shop owned by a man surnamed Jiang could exchange metal for grain, so they came to try their luck.
I never expected to stumble upon such a juicy tidbit.
It feels so good!
"Jiang Zhi!"
“I never told Wei Hui my name was Jiang Zhi.” Jiang Zhi stood up, the knife in her hand gleaming coldly in the dim light. “And where did you get the idea of my name?”
"Or is it that we already knew each other?"
"Don't you think so, Leon Lai? You've been pretending your whole life, don't you get tired of it?"
The man in the black robe paused for a moment, then looked at the man in the gray robe beside him, who flinched for a split second.
"Look at you now. I didn't kill you back then because I wanted you to suffer more in the apocalypse. Now that you've suffered enough, are you planning to come to me to end it all?"
Jiang Zhi twitched her fingertips slightly, and one of the gray-robed men was thrown ten meters away in the blink of an eye. Upon closer inspection, his abdomen was crushed, and he died on the spot.
Now, Jiang Zhi is facing only a black-robed man and a gray-robed man.
For a moment, the gray-robed man was furious. He tore open his robe, revealing his upper body, which was covered by a vest, and his entire face.
His face was covered in scars, with almost no patch of undamaged skin.
"Your style... is quite unique."
"Get out!" Li Ming roared. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"
Dawn was almost hysterical.
"Why were you unwilling to lend a helping hand to us when that bitch Ji Xiaoxiao begged you so much?"
"Why should I help you? What makes you think I should help you?" Jiang Zhi immediately retorted, "Just because you spread rumors that I like you, or that I have money and should be a sucker to help you? Do you deserve it?"
"Ji Xiaoxiao is a married woman, and you're keeping her hanging on so long that she's willing to sacrifice her own husband at any moment. You really make me itch." Jiang Zhi waved her hand to recall the gold brick, which was still stained with the gray-robed man's blood.
The strong smell of blood made Li Ming feel nauseous.
His face was ruined by that bitch Ji Xiaoxiao and her lover.
During the great flood, he had no food and relied on Ji Xiaoxiao selling herself for a little sustenance. But that bitch Ji Xiaoxiao turned around and sold him off, saying that he was good-looking, and her lover sent him to the bed of a high-ranking official who was fond of men.
He was disgusted, offended a senior executive, and his face was ruined.
However, Ji Xiaoxiao did not fare well either.
Didn't she rise to power through her body? Then let's make her completely innocent.
He tricked Ji Xiaoxiao into coming out, and then personally handed her over to more than a dozen beggars. The beggars treated Ji Xiaoxiao like a wolf seeing a sheep; she died a horrible death, and in the end, not even her remains were left behind.
"Haha, so you two are old acquaintances." The man in black felt extremely embarrassed.
Damn it, how do these two know each other?
