Jiang Zhi had heard about this in her previous life, and she remembered that she had once complained about how bloody and brutal it was.
"The Colosseum is a relatively recent phenomenon, open only on Saturday nights, and closed if the weather is bad."
The thought of the Colosseum made Qu Shicheng shudder.
He had witnessed a living person being torn to pieces by a mutated beast and then eaten piece by piece.
This is purgatory for ordinary people.
Jiang Zhi guessed and knew that the mutated beasts that could be captured were at most level two, and could not be higher.
Level 3 mutant beasts are currently impossible for a single superhuman to control in a one-on-one fight, unless there is a sufficient amount of anesthetic or poison.
Qu Shicheng spoke for another hour in a dry, monotonous manner, and Jiang Zhi recorded all the useful information.
This record not only made things convenient for her, but it could also be used as base data for preservation.
It's for the future.
She wanted to record all her experiences in this life. If she didn't survive the cycle of reincarnation, she would try her best to preserve this information for the next generation of humans to judge hundreds of millions of years from now.
This was naturally just wishful thinking on her part; she was like someone who had been caught in the rain and didn't want others to be left without an umbrella.
Ten years into the apocalypse, how she longed for a hero to descend from the heavens and defeat this disaster.
But as human beings, we can only save ourselves in the end.
Seeing that Qu Shicheng had almost finished eating, Jiang Zhi knocked him unconscious with a blunt object, then clapped her hands and went home.
In the same familiar basement, Jiang Zhi nestled on a bamboo mat, with an air conditioner fan and a large block of ice beside her.
This block of ice was carved out by Jiang Zhi during the last extreme cold.
She stored a large quantity of ice in the extreme cold to prevent heatstroke in the extreme heat. When it gets extremely hot, she can use one block and throw one away, and there will still be some left.
"Mommy, what's so great about the Bright Base? Can we not go?" Wanfu nestled on the cool mat on the ground; for this little cat, the floor was much cooler.
"What's your idea?" Jiang Zhi asked with a smile.
"Okay, wherever Mom goes, I'll go too." Wanfu tilted its head, unable to explain itself either.
Jiang Zhi did not tell it about her rebirth; this secret would forever belong to her alone.
"That's nonsense."
"Aww~"
Qu Shicheng woke up from the heat. After waking up, he covered his head and tried to recall what had happened, with fragmented images in his mind.
A woman hit him twice with a stick.
It's Boss Jiang!
Aaaaaah!
He lost track of the person.
Li Heng will definitely "relapse" and be even more cruel than Jiang Zhi, but he dares not not go back.
Over here, Li Heng cooked a pot of rice. He took a sniff and noticed how fragrant the new rice smelled.
At this point, it would be great to have some more meat, but there wasn't a single mutated beast to be seen nearby, so there was nothing to eat.
Just then, Qu Shicheng returned, clutching his still-painful head, and Li Heng spotted the flesh on his thigh.
After thinking about it, I ultimately decided not to do it.
Even when Li Heng was going through such a difficult time, he never ate human flesh offered by his companions. He had seen how human flesh was cleaned and cooked.
"Lord Li... no, no, no... we lost him," Qu Shicheng said without batting an eye.
"He was knocked unconscious."
Li Heng was eating pickled vegetables with porridge when he realized that Qu Shicheng had lost track of Jiang Zhi, which was entirely expected.
"Go and guard this place. You can eat after I've finished eating." Li Heng fanned the air in front of him, as if a plague god was lurking in the air.
Qu Shicheng was filthy, reeking of a foul stench, and hadn't bathed for who knows how many days. Putting everything else aside, the fact that the stench wasn't masked was enough to kill Qu Shicheng ten times over.
Clenching his fists, Qu Shicheng squatted humiliatingly beside the entrance to the basement.
He had a good meal tonight, so at least he wouldn't be upset for a while.
The next morning, while Jiang Zhi was dealing with the first group of people, Zhou Heng came up with two others.
He said, "We only brought ten tons this time, and the base still has a hundred tons stored there. Could you go to the base and collect some grain to help us ripen a batch nearby?"
"To the base?"
Jiang Zhi looked up, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.
Is this a lie?
First, lure people to the base, then detain them.
Zhou Heng had already considered Jiang Zhi's concerns, and Zhao Qiansun behind him brought over a heavy box.
"These are five hundred crystals."
The superhumans waiting for food nearby were shocked.
I knew the Shuofang base was a large-scale project, but I didn't expect it to be this big.
I simply can't believe it.
These are five hundred mutated beasts. The Shuofang base must have wiped out some mountain stronghold, right?
Jiang Zhi glanced at the crystals in the box; a few blue ones were visible amidst a sea of crimson.
They are all level one or two mutant beasts.
"Captain Zhou Heng, are you sure the base didn't give you a mission to trap them like turtles in a jar?"
The wheat seedlings under Jiang Zhi's hands were lush and green, and they were growing taller and spreading their leaves at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It soon blossomed and bore fruit.
"That's impossible. Don't worry, I guarantee it with my integrity," Zhou Heng promised.
"Winter will be here in a few months. If it's still extremely cold, the ground will be frozen. Without food, the tens of thousands of people at the Shuofang base will suffer a devastating blow. The base won't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, so you can rest assured about that."
Jiang Zhi shook the mud off her shoes and walked up to Zhou Heng.
After a moment of contemplation, he said, "I believe you this time."
"Okay, I'll have someone arrange it right away. There's a batch of steel at the base, which we all managed to salvage from the city's infrastructure. It took a lot of effort. We've set aside a portion for the metal-type ability users and for the base's construction, and the rest is yours. The food supply will still be as agreed before."
Zhou Heng knew Jiang Zhi could take away the metal, but he didn't know exactly what she did with it because he had never seen her do it. Perhaps Jiang Zhi possessed multiple elemental abilities.
