Chapter 119 Dying Faster



After washing herself clean, Yang Meili looked at the broken mirror and made a seductive expression in the disdainful eyes of the water-type ability user.

She certainly has the talent to back it up.

The water-based ability user couldn't understand how such a woman could be worthy of Zong Han, especially since she made him break the rules time and time again.

After leaving, Yang Meili subconsciously looked at the spot where Jiang Zhi had been sitting, only to find that she was gone.

I still don't know her name.

Yang Meili felt a pang of disappointment.

The joy of finally meeting someone you know, even if they're a stranger... Sigh, maybe if we're really meant to be, we'll meet again.

As dawn approached, Jiang Zhi left the arena, preparing to find a place to hide.

After looking around, she decided to go find Wang Wan.

At least that place is relatively remote and less likely to be disturbed.

Wang Wan was searching for food everywhere. They had hidden some food at their previous residence, but since the animals had just woken up and couldn't move, and he couldn't leave either, he could only find what was nearby.

Jiang Zhi put two kilograms of rice in her backpack and carried a mutated chicken.

As for water, she no longer needs to hide her supernatural ability and can produce it at will.

Yan Zhi was quite surprised to see Jiang Zhi; she thought Jiang Zhi wouldn't come back.

She was about to get up when Jiang Zhi stopped her.

"You should lie down first. It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. You can get up when the wound doesn't hurt so much."

Jiang Zhi then set up a folding stove, and Wang Wan happened to have collected a lot of firewood, which they could use.

Yan Zhi watched as Jiang Zhi melted a pot of ice, used the water in the pot to wash the chicken, and then chopped it into small pieces with a cleaver and threw it into the pot.

Add ice.

Cook them into one pot.

Once the chicken is cooked until tender, add the rice and cook it into chicken porridge.

Yan Zhi couldn't help but swallow hard; she hadn't eaten meat in a long time, even if it was mutated beast meat.

Wang Wan returned just as the chicken porridge was cooked.

"Boss!" Wang Wan was overjoyed.

The aroma of meat filled the air, making Wang Wan swallow hard. He searched around and finally found two cans of fruit, but he wasn't sure if the contents were safe to eat.

Waaah, as expected, following the boss means you get to eat meat!

Even if I can't eat meat, I can still have some soup.

"What did you gain?" Yan Zhi asked.

Wang Wan lowered his head and said, "The two cans of fruit look expired."

Yan Zhi sighed as she looked at her wound. She still had a fever, but the temperature wasn't as high anymore, otherwise Wang Wan wouldn't have had to fight it all by herself.

"Go and move down a hundred pounds of metal," Jiang Zhi said.

"ah?"

He suddenly remembered the legendary Boss Jiang.

Wang Wan had a bold idea in his mind.

So he only hesitated for half a second before turning around and climbing out of the ruins.

The boss must be Boss Jiang.

Wang Wan looked around and found a lot of scrap steel and iron scattered on the ground.

These all fell after the houses collapsed, along with fences and streetlights.

Wang Wan picked up anything that was metal.

The chicken was almost cooked until tender, so Jiang Zhi ladled out a large bowl of it, boiled some water in their kettle, and then added salt to the porridge.

“You didn’t injure any internal organs, so you can eat something light.” Jiang Zhi took some food from the large bowl and handed it to Yan Zhi.

Her eyes reddened, but no tears fell. She raised her weak hand to take the porridge and drank it little by little.

Jiang Zhi had no intention of feeding her. As long as a person is alive, they will always have the strength to eat, even if the bowl is placed in front of their mouth.

Wang Wan made five or six trips back and forth, and only stopped after the sun came out.

I collected a bunch of metal, probably weighing over 100 pounds.

"Boss, the space down there is too small. I've put all the metal outside. Do you want to come out and take a look?"

Wang Wan called out from outside.

Jiang Zhi got up and went out through the narrow opening. Wang Wan was standing excitedly in front of a pile of broken copper and scrap iron.

"Boss, is this enough for you?"

"Um."

Jiang Zhi nodded and waved slightly. The gold brick flew out of her backpack and landed in her hand.

"Wow, what kind of amazing ability is this? Could our boss be a legendary dual-elemental ability user? Is this a metal-type ability?"

Jiang Zhi didn't say anything, and the gold brick in her hand absorbed all the metal that Wang Wan had collected.

Then Jiang Zhi found a piece of land and planted 5 square meters of millet.

"You harvest it yourself," Jiang Zhi said, then went into the cave under the glaring sunlight.

Wang Wan was left standing there, stunned and petrified.

Wang Wan quickly realized what was happening, carefully looked around, and found the area deserted. After confirming that no one was around, he quickly began harvesting.

They cut off the rice ears with a dagger, put them in a bag, then cut off the straw, and used the dust from the ruins to cover the straw stubble.

No one should be allowed to discover that plants once grew here.

It must be said that Wang Wan has become more vigilant.

Cover the straw on the spot, and after it dries, it can be made into straw mats. Who knows, then you won't have to sleep on hard gravel anymore.

Below was a triangular abandoned cave formed by ruins, filled with rubble. When he fled there, he hadn't had time to clear it yet, and somehow ended up sleeping on the rubble, with a mattress he'd picked up from somewhere underneath him.

The sun was blazing. Wang Wan hurriedly ate two bowls of chicken porridge and ate two pieces of chicken before going to guard the drying of straw and millet.

He hadn't slept all night, and now he was focused on guarding the grain. If it wasn't dried in the sun, it would quickly mold.

There are about 60 or 70 jin of millet here. If we eat it sparingly, it should last us one or two months.

"Waaah, the boss is so good to them!" Wang Wan was deeply moved.

I feel safe wherever my boss is.

However, we can't always rely on the leader. The leader also has his own goals and direction. They may not have been on the same path from the beginning.

After eating, her high fever completely subsided, and she felt alive again, finally regaining her strength.

"Are you Boss Jiang?" Yan Zhi asked.

“Yes.” It wasn’t a secret, Jiang Zhi nodded. “I was just passing through the Bright Base, and they happened to be recruiting me, so I stayed for a while.”

"This is not a good place. It's easy to get in but hard to get out. The order inside is also a mess. Wang Wan and I came here to find his parents, and the situation is not good."

Jiang Zhi understood what Yan Zhi meant; Wang Wan's parents were most likely in grave danger.

And now they are facing the same situation.

Then Yan Zhi recounted, in fits and starts, what they had seen and heard at the Bright Base.

Jiang Zhi felt that the Bright Base should be called the Dark Base, as its system had regressed to a hellish level, a paradise for criminals.

The apocalypse directly led to the collapse of national order. The current base can be described as a tribe, which is struggling to survive and fighting against each other.

Jiang Zhi shook her head upon hearing this.

Living is already incredibly difficult; engaging in these fancy, flashy things will only hasten our demise.
