Zhou Heng suppressed his astonishment. He had seen many metal-type ability users, but none of them could utilize their skills like this.
This is no longer just a genius, this is a prodigy, a prodigy whose talent has shaken the world.
What kind of monster is Jiang Zhi?
As Zhou Heng pondered this, he gripped the gold brick and, mimicking Jiang Zhi's earlier action, casually lifted it upwards.
The gold brick remained completely still.
Zhao Qiansun exclaimed, "This... Captain Zhou, is it really six tons?"
"You don't believe me? Try it yourself!" Zhou Heng gave up on the idea of picking up the gold brick; he didn't want to humiliate himself.
"Shall I give it a try?" Zhao Qiansun chuckled, rubbing his hands together excitedly.
Zhou Heng sighed, finding Zhao Qiansun's behavior utterly unbearable. He glanced at Jiang Zhi, who showed no displeasure and let him continue his antics.
Zhao Qiansun wiped his hands.
This is gold! It weighs six tons, measured on a gantry crane.
If you had six tons of gold in your family before the apocalypse, that would have been incredible.
However, the BRICS remained unmoved.
Zhao Qiansun almost strained his back.
"..."
So it really is six tons.
Jiang Zhi waved her hand, and the gold brick flew up automatically and landed in her hand.
After absorbing thousands of tons of metal, Jiang Zhi felt that the power of persuasion had become much heavier.
Once it's on the gantry crane, the gold brick weighs twelve tons.
After absorbing a thousand tons of metal, the gold bricks only increased in value by six tons. After calculation and reverse deduction, it was found that the gold bricks absorbed 1,049 tons of metal.
"Is this gold brick a skill condensed from your metal-based superpower?" Zhou Heng asked. He had suspected it before, thinking that Jiang Zhi was collecting metal simply to enhance her superpower, but he didn't expect that she had fed it all to a brick.
"I suppose so," Jiang Zhi said, not wanting to say more. She revealed the gold brick because she didn't want to give up this thousand-ton metal. She had no other ulterior motives.
She believed that the Shuofang base would not harm him.
"It seems our research on superpowers is not thorough enough, and our understanding of them may be flawed."
Zhou Heng now fully understands the gap between them and Jiang Zhi.
"Maybe," Jiang Zhi said calmly. In her previous life, the base also suffered from food shortages, and it was a constant problem. The Shuofang base almost went out of business, and it was only after finding a batch of military rations that could be stored for a hundred years in the military region that the immediate crisis was alleviated.
Because of her connection to the base, the wood-type ability users have improved, but she still doesn't dare to draw a conclusion.
She took what was rightfully hers, and the rest was no longer of concern. Jiang Zhi, carrying the gold bricks, didn't drive, but walked away from the Shuofang base into the night.
Zhou Heng personally picked her up when she arrived, but she remembered that she wanted to take a trip around the city and absorb all the metal she could.
Jiang Zhi took one last look at the Shuofang base.
This was the base that had sheltered her during the early stages of this apocalypse in her previous life. This might be the last time she ever set foot in this place.
Seeing Jiang Zhi leave, Li Heng finally felt a huge weight lifted from his heart. Qu Shicheng was beaten to the point of near death and unable to follow Li Heng. Li Heng shook him off, picked up his luggage and food, and followed Jiang Zhi without even glancing at him.
My eyelids drooped, and gradually the world in front of me began to darken.
He was left like a lump of rotten flesh on the devastated land.
Qu Shicheng thought to himself that he was finally about to die.
Full of regret.
Alas, such a humble person can only carry the kindness of a single meal into the next life.
"Look, we've found a survivor."
"He's so badly injured, let's go quickly, there's no hope for him."
Is anyone there?
Qu Shicheng's lifeless eyes instantly came back to life, as if injected with adrenaline, and his dry throat struggled to utter two words: "Save me!"
Many roads were destroyed after the last earthquake. Wanfu followed Jiang Zhi, running around the city.
At each point it passed, varying degrees of collapse occurred.
Li Heng was able to keep up at first, but it became increasingly difficult for him later on.
Damn, this woman has an incredible amount of energy.
As dawn approached, Jiang Zhi and Wan Fu, along with their cat, ate ice cream and strolled leisurely towards Qingyuan.
These past two days, her shop has had a sign that says it's closed. Since she's going to close, she might as well close for the whole time.
Jiang Zhi went straight back to the basement, closed the door, and entered the space.
"Mom, I want grilled skewers, beer fish, and spicy hot pot!" Wanfu stared at the cooked food on the shelf, slurping it incessantly.
Jiang Zhi took some kebabs. As for beer fish, she didn't actually stock up on that stuff. If she didn't stock up, she could just follow along with the video to make it.
Wanfu ate his kebabs, while Jiang Zhi wandered around the shelves.
Finally, I got a dish of chestnut meat.
She hasn't tried this dish before. There are only two servings available. She'll have to find the recipe after she finishes eating so she can make it herself whenever she wants.
Last year she enjoyed eating snacks like barbecue, but this year, perhaps because she's a year older, she's become more health-conscious.
I didn't eat many skewers; I preferred soupy dishes.
Waaah, I'm getting old.
After a quick meal, Jiang Zhi went to the pond to catch fish.
Wanfu wants to eat beer-braised fish. At such a young age, he hasn't learned anything except drinking alcohol.
I'll get him drunk this afternoon.
Beer fish requires tomatoes, green bell peppers, and red bell peppers, and luckily, all three are grown in the field.
She forced a batch to ripen, and they are now bearing fruit.
Very fresh.
The tomatoes had a faint, refreshing fragrance, and Jiang Zhi couldn't resist picking one to eat. They weren't composted, sprayed with pesticides, or infested with insects; they looked very tempting.
It's bursting with juice, sweet and juicy, and not too sour.
She likes sweet things.
Three are just enough to cook one fish.
