Chapter 111 Free Labor



"I've learned a lot." Zhou Heng returned the mineral water bottle to Jiang Zhi.

Eagles are meant to soar in the blue sky, but he is an eagle with broken wings, unable to be as free as Jiang Zhi.

Zhou Heng could only offer his silent blessings, secretly entrusting his own feelings to Jiang Zhi, even though she was unaware of his true thoughts.

These things, in my lifetime, may only be buried in my heart, and I will be unable to say another word.

"Captain Zhou, we've all rested enough, shall we leave?"

Hearing someone call out, Zhou Heng dusted off his legs and said goodbye to Jiang Zhi. Although it wasn't the last time they would see each other, he still felt regret. If only Jiang Zhi could join them and form a super-powerful superpowered team in the apocalypse.

The Shuofang base will surely prosper even more.

After Zhou Heng left, the alert Li Heng poked half his head out from the nearby ruins.

He vaguely heard Jiang Zhi talking to the man in the military green vest about supernatural abilities. Jiang Zhi was actually giving this man guidance, and judging from his expression, he seemed to be enjoying it.

What role does Jiang Zhi actually play?

Was she truly sincere in agreeing to go to the Bright Base?

With such lingering ties to the Shuofang base, placing someone like that in the Guangming base would undoubtedly make them an openly known spy.

Li Heng really couldn't figure out Jiang Zhi's thoughts.

Before coming, he had all sorts of imaginings, but after arriving, he discovered that things were not as simple as he had imagined.

However, Li Heng still wanted to fight Jiang Zhi. Jiang Zhi didn't seem to be an unreasonable person. Seeing that Jiang Zhi was packing up the food bags, he went up to her.

"Mr. Jiang, I haven't yet had the pleasure of learning your name." Li Heng leaned against the table, his tone far from frivolous.

Jiang Zhi turned around: "Don't you have anything else to do?"

Li Heng shrugged and raised an eyebrow, saying, "No, I'm just keeping an eye on you. As long as you don't get snatched away by someone else, I'll be doing nothing."

"Hehe, that's quite interesting." Jiang Zhi laughed, but the laughter didn't reach her eyes.

Since you have nothing to do, aren't you just free labor?

"My name is Jiang Zhi, Zhi from the orchids on the shore. Boss Jiang is my nickname."

"Haha, what a nice and cultured name." For some reason, Li Heng felt there was something wrong with Jiang Zhi's smile just now, and he even felt a chill run down his spine.

"Really? Since the Bright Base has gone to great lengths for me, it shouldn't be too bad for me to recruit you now, right? What position do you hold at the Bright Base? If it's too high, I can't afford to use you."

"No, no, no, that's perfectly fine, as long as meals are provided." Li Heng waved his hands. He carefully considered what Jiang Zhi had just said, and became even more certain that Jiang Zhi would definitely go to the Bright Base.

The saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." He should spend more time with Jiang Zhi now, and maybe he can use that to defeat her in the future.

Jiang Zhi killed Hua You and other superhumans single-handedly. Unlike Zong Han, Li Heng did not think Jiang Zhi was easy to mess with.

“I’ll give you 1.2 jin of grain every day. You can cook for yourself and eat however you want.” Jiang Zhi scooped a jin of grain from her pocket and added 2 liang.

This grain can yield eight ounces of rice.

“Your slave cannot die here. People who don’t know the truth will think I’m abusing people.”

Jiang Zhi pointed to a person crouching in the corner of the ruins, whose human form was barely discernible and who was emitting a foul stench. Due to the extreme filth, it was impossible to tell their age.

He overheard the woman Li Heng was trying to win over telling him that she would protect him from death.

These are people from outside the Bright Base, different from those in the Bright Base.

Will this woman become like those demons once she enters the Bright Base?

With Li Heng's help in the latter half of the night, Jiang Zhi's progress accelerated considerably.

Li Heng is like a brick; he can be moved wherever he's needed.

As dawn broke, Jiang Zhi packed up her stall and went back to rest, telling Li Heng not to follow her before she left.

Li Heng, supporting his aching lower back, kicked the slave in the buttocks, signaling him to follow.

The slave dared not speak out in anger, his head bowed so that his emotions could not be discerned.

Li Heng carried fresh millet and spread it out on the ground to dry. In this kind of weather, one day of drying would be enough.

Jiang Zhi walked under the purple-blue sky at dawn, knowing that daylight was approaching. Wan Fu suddenly appeared from somewhere and rubbed against Jiang Zhi's leg.

"Mom, someone's following us," Wanfu whispered.

Jiang Zhi said, "Let's go, don't worry about it."

The slave followed cautiously, afraid of being discovered by Jiang Zhi. Such impolite behavior as stalking someone would surely be met with death if discovered, especially by a ruthless person.

He wanted to keep his life and didn't want to die here.

Jiang Zhi turned a corner, and the slave's view was blocked by a pile of ruins, so he had to walk along the ruins. He lingered for a while, and only dared to turn into that road when he felt that Jiang Zhi should be far away.

As soon as he went in, he was hit with a stick.

Clearly, the stick was applied with controlled force, preventing him from suffering much pain.

“Li Heng is worried, yet he sent you here. This means he doesn’t want to be my enemy, but he doesn’t dare to disobey the orders from the Bright Base.”

Jiang Zhi held a stick in her hand, standing on a piece of concrete debris, looking down at the dirty slave.

"Please, don't kill me." The slave's voice was hoarse. He had been beaten and was kneeling on the ground, trembling as he kept kowtowing.

"What's your name? How did you become a slave?" Jiang Zhi asked again.

"I... my name is Qu Shicheng. Before the apocalypse, I was a programmer. After the apocalypse, I entered the Bright Base. Because I never awakened my superpowers, I was forced to become a slave in order to survive."
