"Really? Who is Hua? I've never seen him before."
Jiang Zhi leaned back in her chair, adopting a boss-like posture.
Chen Jun: Damn it, you've killed everyone, and you still don't know who it was?
"Who the person is is not important. We, the Prince of Zonghan, feel very sorry for offending Boss Jiang, so we sent Li Heng and me to deliver thirty tons of metal. Please accept it."
As Chen Jun spoke, he carefully examined Jiang Zhi. He desperately wanted to see through this woman, but he could only see the surface of her skin. He couldn't discern at all how strong she really was.
Ultimately, you have to see it with your own eyes to believe it's true.
Li Heng stood aside; he shared the same thought as Chen Jun.
He simply wanted to try it himself and fight Jiang Zhi.
That was his real purpose in coming here.
Indeed, if this woman were to be stationed at the Bright Base, the Bright Base would have a mobile granary.
This did not affect his fighting spirit.
Jiang Zhi tapped her fingers lightly on the chair, seemingly deep in thought.
"Of course, if Mr. Jiang is willing, our Guangming Base will always treat you as an honored guest. You can choose any metal from the base except for those used for infrastructure construction."
"Oh?" Jiang Zhi asked in a questioning tone.
Seeing that a customer had arrived with a large quantity of metal, Jiang Zhi shrugged and pressed down, and Chen Jun wisely shut his mouth.
They didn't come to exchange for grain; these 60,000 jin of metal were all to apologize to Jiang Zhi.
Imagine if Jiang Zhi were willing to go to the Bright Base, who would care about these 60,000 jin of metal?
Those will be valleys and wheat mountains.
After Jiang Zhi finished ripening the first batch of grain, there was still a bag left, all of which was not dried.
When the next batch arrived, after handing over the seeds, Jiang Zhi simply scooped the millet out of her bag, eliminating the need for another ripening process.
This saved Jiang Zhi a lot of effort.
Chen Jun and Li Heng watched from the side. No wonder they had heard that Boss Jiang always accelerated the ripening of grain and had a surplus, but they had never seen her grain reserve.
So that's how it can be done in the middle.
Is this the advantage of the wood element?
You can eat whatever you want, as long as you have the seeds.
However, the wood-type ability users in the base were not as powerful as Jiang Zhi. On the contrary, even though they were working in shifts around the clock, they couldn't produce much food.
Could it really be a high-level one?
Chen Jun didn't continue thinking about it; it was pointless. He might as well focus on the task at hand.
The key is to invite Jiang Zhi to the Bright Base.
There were a total of seven groups of people involved in the transaction.
Three of these batches happened to have surplus grain, so Jiang Zhi only needed to weigh and deliver it directly.
This saved her a lot of trouble.
Chen Jun and Li Heng were left aside, and Chen Jun went to check on the progress of unloading the slaves.
We also need to prevent these slaves from escaping.
It was clearly wishful thinking for twelve ordinary people to move 60,000 jin of metal in one night. Several superhumans with strength-based abilities were also working alongside them.
However, those with superpowers enjoy watching ordinary people awkwardly carry things, so they often slack off.
It wouldn't warrant beating them, since unless they were killed outright, if they were injured or maimed, wouldn't that mean less labor and fewer people to use?
Seeing that Jiang Zhi had some free time, Chen Jun continued, "We're not pressuring Boss Jiang, we just feel sorry for her. We heard that every time the Shuofang base comes, you give them extra food. Our base doesn't do that. We give them whatever they're entitled to. We'll give you plenty of metals and crystals, not a penny less."
"Oh, so I should thank you?" Jiang Zhi patted the dust off her hands, took out a mineral water bottle from the table box, which contained the small ice arrows she had thrown in beforehand.
The weather was so hot that the ice arrows quickly melted into water, which was perfect for washing hands.
"No, no, no, you deserve it."
Having experienced extreme heat, Chen Jun was always frugal with water and couldn't stand Jiang Zhi's wasteful behavior.
But he dared not speak out, much less curse.
As expected of a woman, she's extravagant in everything she does and doesn't know how to cherish things at all.
It is extremely hot now, and surface water resources have been largely depleted, leaving many survivors facing the prospect of having no water to drink.
Li Heng, on the other hand, didn't have so many hidden agendas.
He carefully examined the signboard of Jiang Zhi's shop, and there was clearly a water resource trading section below, where water was sold for a higher price than grain.
The fact that she could put it up for trade shows that Jiang Zhi had the ability to produce or store water.
Seeing that Jiang Zhi also lived in such a simple environment, Li Heng was more inclined to choose the former.
Jiang Zhi might also be a water-based ability user.
She noticed their behavior out of the corner of her eye. Heh, that's exactly the effect she wanted.
The more ruthless and powerful her reputation becomes, the safer she is.
In the apocalypse, people are accustomed to fearing the unknown, rather than wanting to explore as they did before the apocalypse.
After her rebirth, she killed many people, but also saved many people directly or indirectly.
When collecting supplies, deliberately leaving a little bit out is essentially to leave it for those in need, but there are also situations where bad people find it first, or where good and evil clash.
But what does that have to do with her?
The supplies are right here. Even if she doesn't take any of them, all the foreseeable struggles will still occur.
It had nothing to do with her leaving out any supplies.
On the contrary, if she had taken them all, it would have caused even more deaths.
She has indirectly saved many people, and these people are usually a mixture of good and evil. Who can guarantee that the people they save will always maintain their good or evil nature in an apocalyptic environment?
She didn't care about any of that.
Does this mean that we still need to consider the law of cause and effect when doing things in the post-apocalyptic world?
No, ever since the natural disaster wolf was destroyed, everything has become completely illogical.
After washing my hands, the moisture evaporated quickly.
"Then put your things down and take your people with you. I will go to the Bright Base, but not now. Get me a place to stay, otherwise, am I going to sleep on the streets?"
Jiang Zhi's words came out of nowhere, and Chen Jun even wondered if he was hallucinating.
Li Heng, who was standing to the side, said, "Boss Jiang is a straightforward person. When will you be leaving? Our base can send someone to pick you up."
"Midnight of next month," Jiang Zhi replied without hesitation.
"Is it a deal?"
“Of course!” Jiang Zhi affirmed.
I thought it would take a long time to negotiate and I would have to worry about my life, but I didn't expect Jiang Zhi to agree so readily.
This was truly beyond Chen Jun's expectations.
While the iron was hot, Chen Jun thought it best to have Li Heng stay here and keep an eye on Jiang Zhi to prevent her from running away.
Li Heng's original target was Jiang Zhi, so he understood Chen Jun's meaning.
Jiang Zhi agreed to go to the Bright Base entirely because of her own plan.
In this world, no one can force her to agree unless she gives her consent.
Finally, Li Heng found a ruin not far from Jiang Zhi's shop. Seeing that there was a pit inside, he had the slaves go in and clean it up first, and then threw the luggage in.
He wouldn't share a pit with the slaves; as long as the slaves were alive, that was enough. He let the slaves sleep on top of the ruins at night and hide in the crevices of the ruins during the day.
