Immediately afterwards, his whole body was in pain, because he hadn't even had a chance to cry out due to the numbness he had just experienced.
It took him about ten seconds to realize what was happening.
"Aaaaaah!"
Jiang Zhi had already struck him more than a dozen times with the club in her hand.
His thighs, arms, buttocks, and back were in so much pain that he grimaced.
"Jiang Zhi! What are you doing?" Li Heng finally managed to shout out amidst the pain.
"What are you doing? You're probably thinking I've run away, aren't you? Where I go is none of your business!"
As Jiang Zhi spoke, her movements became more forceful.
"You want to fight me? I'll give you that chance, come on!"
Jiang Zhi then struck Li Heng several more times with a stick.
Li Heng screamed in pain; this wasn't a fight, it was clearly a one-sided beating.
That's what he really thought, but he didn't do it!
We haven't even started yet.
Li Heng couldn't help but feel wronged, having been beaten for no reason.
hehe.
Jiang Zhi almost blurted out a sarcastic remark: This Li Heng is truly shameless.
Now is not the time to kill this person. We still need him to make the way to the Bright Base. As for the missing Qu Shicheng, Jiang Zhi doesn't care.
You have to collect some interest, right?
Let's beat him up first to vent our anger.
The Bright Base first used threats, then bribes; if she hadn't been passing through, she might not have gone there at all.
Throwing away the stick, Jiang Zhi turned around, locked the door, and walked straight towards the shop.
It had just gotten dark, and the temperature hadn't completely dropped yet; it was still over 40 degrees Celsius, which was still within a tolerable range.
For Jiang Zhi, this high temperature was nothing.
Since her spiritual power increased, her heat and cold resistance has also improved. She tried sunbathing for more than 20 minutes during the day when the temperature was over 60 degrees Celsius, and she did not suffer from heatstroke or heat exhaustion.
I just felt the sun, not the heat.
This year is extremely cold. She can probably withstand temperatures of around minus forty degrees Celsius. She can wear as many layers as she would in a pre-apocalyptic winter and still not feel particularly cold.
Jiangcheng is located in the south, and the winter temperature is almost always above zero degrees Celsius, so most of the winter clothes in her wardrobe are thin.
Although the ability to resist heat and cold has been enhanced, it is not absolute; in extreme cold, you still need to wear thicker clothes.
Physical fitness is only enough to prevent oneself from dying from heat or cold; it's not indestructible.
"Boss Jiang, you've finally arrived! A day apart feels like three autumns. It's been so many years, we've missed you so much."
The first customer to arrive was a regular. His name was Cheng Yu, and he had exchanged several hundred kilograms of grain. Behind him was a team of superhumans, and they even had their families with them.
They didn't stay at a base, but rather in a basement they dug in their own home.
After expansion, it can now accommodate more than a dozen people.
Jiang Zhi opened this shop. They had a sense of hoarding grain, so they desperately accumulated metals such as steel to exchange for food.
After the apocalypse, Cheng Yu and his family raided many gold shops, taking out large amounts of precious metals. Jiang Zhi moved these precious metals into her spatial storage instead of absorbing them.
In the early days of the "Winning People Over with Virtue" strategy, several households drained the gold bars she had collected. Jiang Zhi had a penchant for hoarding gold, which is why she didn't put it into the gold bricks.
Those pieces of jewelry hang on the shelves in the space, and it's a pleasure to occasionally take them out and adore them.
In this apocalyptic world, with a spatial cheat device at hand, it's not bad for them to do some small hobbies while they're busy running around outside.
She doesn't want to lie in that space all day, eating all the time.
She should have some pursuits in life; she didn't want to be manipulated by others, but only to follow her own heart.
"Cheng Yu, you slippery fellow! Do you think you can joke around with Boss Jiang? Hurry up and weigh the stuff, we're waiting for others." A burly man at the back of the line pointed at Cheng Yu and laughed.
Cheng Yu rolled his eyes at the man, then turned to Jiang Zhi with a smile: "Boss Jiang, I heard you recently went to the Shuofang base, is that true?"
Jiang Zhi was taking notes on the things Cheng Yu had brought, and without looking up, she said, "I've been there."
"I'm from the Shuofang base. I know that Boss Jiang helped our base ripen a batch of grain enough to last through the winter. Thank you, Boss Jiang!" Disaster victim A clasped his hands together, as if praying for blessings.
"Boss Jiang is a kind person; he's the warmest person I've ever met in this apocalypse."
"That's right. Without Boss Jiang, we wouldn't be able to afford a single grain of rice. I regret wasting food in the past. Since the apocalypse, I haven't had a single comfortable meal."
"Who can argue with that?"
"Damn the end times, damn the natural disasters."
...
In this way, Jiang Zhi could hear it every time she opened the shop.
She's heard it so many times.
Anyone can say flattering things.
People valued face-saving relationships even before the end times, and this is even more true after the end times.
What good does it do to have a falling out with someone?
Of course, murder and robbery are excluded.
Many people who offended others were dealt with on the spot.
I won't keep it overnight.
Jiang Zhi, who was taking notes, felt annoyed. She shouldn't have beaten Li Heng so badly. Now, she had no free labor.
Li Heng didn't work, so Jiang Zhi wouldn't give him any food.
Li Heng, who was lying in the ruins groaning, had nothing to eat except for the little bit of slightly rancid mutated rat meat he had stored in his bundle.
Because the food supplies were all in the basement, he was beaten so badly that he couldn't move.
Damn it, why is it so numb?
Was she given anesthesia?
That's really true.
At first, Li Heng felt a slight coolness and numbness, but he quickly lost consciousness. It was Jiang Zhi who gave Li Heng an anesthetic.
