There are indeed a group of people in the world who are worthy of being called geniuses.
There are dual-system and triple-system systems.
Besides Jiang Zhi, he knew several other multi-elemental ability users in the base.
These are the chosen ones.
Unfortunately, Zhou Heng wasn't one of them. However, possessing fire elemental power was already extremely fortunate.
When Li Heng heard that Jiang Zhi was going to the Shuofang base, he felt a moment of panic. If Jiang Zhi changed her mind halfway through, he would have no way to explain it to Zong Han, and he would be severely punished.
"You're going to the Shuofang Base? Didn't we agree to go to the Guangming Base?" Li Heng ran up to Jiang Zhi. These past few days, Jiang Zhi had been using him as free labor, and her attitude towards him had been relatively peaceful; nothing like what happened with Hua You had occurred. Therefore, Li Heng had lowered his guard against Jiang Zhi.
Now they dare to confront Jiang Zhi and question her.
Jiang Zhi frowned.
Where I go is none of your business.
Li Heng regretted it as soon as he finished speaking. How could he have forgotten that this was a killing god?
"What? Do I need your permission to go anywhere?" Jiang Zhi said coldly.
Li Heng immediately shook his head: "No, no, please do as you please."
Qu Shicheng, who was watching the scales nearby, turned his back and chuckled to himself.
You've finally gotten what you deserve!
Qu Shicheng swore that these past few days with Jiang Zhi were the most comfortable he had experienced since the apocalypse. With Jiang Zhi keeping him in check, Li Heng didn't dare to be too harsh on him, and he was even able to eat his fill, although it was leftovers from Li Heng.
Li Heng silently clutched his notebook, mentally making a deep grudge against Jiang Zhi.
I refuse to believe you'll still be so arrogant once we get to the Bright Base.
As agreed, Jiang Zhi went to the metal storage yard at the Shuofang base.
This place used to be a steel mill, with a large amount of steel and metal. It's five in the morning now, the sun hasn't risen yet, and the sky is ablaze with color.
Many people are already working in this storage yard.
"We start work at midnight every day and finish at six in the morning," Zhou Heng explained from the side. "The entire area on the right side of this cement road is yours."
"This must weigh a thousand tons," Jiang Zhi estimated.
All you see is steel, all taken from various steel infrastructures in the city, such as iron fences and streetlights.
Human efficiency is truly remarkable.
No wonder Zhou Heng always brings dozens of tons with him when he comes.
"There are too many, so we got a gantry crane from the river transport terminal to make weighing faster," Zhou Heng said, adding that they would be very careful and would never shortchange customers.
Judging from the fact that Jiang Zhi needs to sign a contract to maintain contact with the base, she seems to prefer going through procedures.
Seeing Jiang Zhi's satisfied expression, Zhou Heng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"The northern part of the base is the suburbs, which used to be large areas of farmland. Now it's very convenient. As long as you nod, the whole team will start sowing immediately."
"Take me with you, and let's try to finish it in two days," Jiang Zhi nodded.
With so much steel and crystals, there's enough to exchange for winter food for the Shuofang base. Plus, the Shuofang base currently has 105 wood-type ability users, so maintaining basic sustenance shouldn't be a problem after Jiang Zhi leaves.
As far as the eye could see, there was a vast expanse of barren land. Due to the scorching weather, the ground was cracked and extremely hard.
In order to plant the seeds, the water-based ability user mobilized water resources to gradually moisten the parched land.
It is nighttime, and everyone is working with torches in hand.
In just one night, you can earn fifty points, which is why many ordinary people are working hard.
The base's canteen has now raised its price to two points per meal and only offers lunch.
Because of the availability of grain, lunch changed from a mixed stew to rice porridge with dumplings; a bowl of this could satisfy hunger for several hours.
The rest of the time, naturally, is for people to find their own food. It's only the second year of the apocalypse, so many people still have food from before the apocalypse, although most of it has expired.
Some people cultivate land under harsh conditions and grow their own food. Although the process takes much longer than artificially ripened crops, the sight of grain growing in the ground brings them some comfort and gives them more courage to live.
There are still suicides at the base every day.
Many others die outside due to various accidents.
Despite the various circumstances that lead to the deaths of different people, most people persevere and strive to live on.
"There are fifty acres of land here. Sowing started two days ago. With the temperature at 65 degrees Celsius, I don't know how many seeds will survive. I'm counting on you for the rest of the work," Zhou Heng said sincerely.
Jiang Zhi said seriously, "Yes, I will try my best."
On the tower, an elderly man with a hunched back stood in front of a telescope, taking in the land to the north of the base.
"Is Director Zhang looking at Jiang Zhi?" The speaker was the new base chief.
"She's a good kid, but she can't be used by you. She's too stubborn and too clear-headed."
The new base chief remains silent.
"In chaotic times, we don't follow the old ways. As long as she doesn't block humanity's path to survival, we can live in peace."
"Is she going to the Bright Base?" Zhang Zhaohe pressed.
Why do we need to go?
Deep down, Zhang Zhaohe believed that Jiang Zhi would never enslave anyone. But in reality, Zhang Zhaohe wasn't so sure.
"have no idea."
The new base chief's fingers, which were clinging to the iron fence, twitched slightly. Zhang Zhaohe took in the movement without making a sound: "If you don't want to be her enemy, don't act rashly. Shuofang Base is so democratic, and she is still unwilling. What more can she expect from Guangming Base, which imitates a slave feudal society?"
"...You're right."
He had indeed planned to send someone to secretly try to win over Jiang Zhi again; if that failed, he would rather both sides suffer losses.
But Zhang Zhaohua's words instantly brought him to his senses.
