Jiang Zhi turned and went into the cave, wiping the sweat off her body with a handkerchief. Wan Fu followed her in.
Han Xiaoying looked at the watermelon flesh on the ground, picked it up, and stuffed it into her mouth.
So sweet, too sweet.
I haven't eaten it since the apocalypse.
Han Xiaoying secretly hid some of the watermelon rinds while Jiang Zhi wasn't out. Slaves were still watching her intently nearby, so she didn't dare linger and ran back into the shed after picking them up.
With Jiang Zhi around, these people didn't dare to go into the shed and steal her things.
After Han Xiaoying retreated, a group of hungry slaves began to clean up the mess left behind by the superhumans.
In fact, Jiang Zhi was watching from behind the curtain. What could she do about these people?
She doesn't have to do anything.
If things continue as they are, this dark base will soon crumble.
More than an hour later, Jiang Zhi came out of the cave. The red color on the ground had faded a lot, and the watermelon rinds had all been picked up.
Han Xiaoying stood respectfully to the side.
Jiang Zhi waved to her: "You've been here for many days, so you should know my temper. I don't like stutterers, and I especially don't like talkative people."
"Yes." Han Xiaoying nodded repeatedly.
"Very well, I won't ask where you often go, but there's one thing: you must be present when Chen Jun comes. As for what you say to him in private, I advise you to be smart. Next time, I won't be so kind as to cover up your lies."
"Yes, thank you, boss."
Han Xiaoying lowered her head even further.
"If I remember correctly, you were a high school student before. You know math, right? You know accounting, right? From now on, you'll be in charge of calculating the weight of grain when replacing metals with crystals. Remember, I need it to be fast and accurate. Also, I used to pay my employees one pound of grain per day, but that was based on two people's food rations. One person only gets half a pound. Do you have any objections?"
"No, no." Han Xiaoying nodded repeatedly.
She swore this was the best boss she had ever had; no wonder her sister insisted she come here.
If it weren't for the handful of rice her sister gave her, she probably wouldn't have met such a good superhuman like Jiang Zhi. Half a pound of grain a day is much more than the two handfuls of rice she used to have.
"As for water, you can take care of it yourself, or you can exchange it with me." After saying that, Jiang Zhi took out a somewhat tattered notebook from her backpack, which recorded all the transactions she had made since opening the shop.
Han Xiaoying held the long-lost paper notebook, her eyes brimming with tears.
Before the apocalypse, she was preparing for the college entrance examination. Her simple life at school was suddenly shattered by the end of the world, catching her completely off guard.
She was utterly devastated and desperate.
Jiang Zhi has had her share of such experiences. She still has nearly two billion yuan left to spend in her past life.
She's finally spent all her money in this lifetime, and she feels at peace with herself.
That's how life goes, except she also wants to leave some reputation in the apocalypse, so that no one will mention her after she dies.
She was still afraid of turning to dust quietly by herself.
It will officially open tomorrow night.
"Boss, we're here to help you."
Wang Wan and Yan Zhi dug a hole near Jiang Zhi and settled down there.
Jiang Zhi nodded. The official opening is tonight.
Last time she was all alone, but this time she has helpers. She doesn't have to do anything herself, like turning the soil, and she can even save herself the trouble of sowing seeds.
Her job is simply to ripen the fruit quickly.
As for the price, it has doubled compared to before.
That's how the Bright Base operates; for ordinary people, getting food is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Jiang Zhi opened this shop, and all the grain she's currently growing is being given to those with special abilities.
Slaves had limited freedom of movement in different areas and could not exchange their slaves for food in the short term.
Jiang Wen brought her gigolo over to watch; she was planning to win over Jiang Zhi, so naturally she wanted to learn more about her.
Jiang Zhi wore white silk sleeves, which were very conspicuous in the night. At her feet were clumps of corn seedlings, emitting the long-lost fragrance of green plants.
Jiang Wen took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
"It smells so good. The fresh scent makes me want to cry." Jiang Wen took two steps forward and got closer to Jiang Zhi. Only then did she realize that the two people she had been secretly chasing were standing unharmed behind Jiang Zhi.
There was a moment of surprise and ruthlessness, but she concealed it well.
"And who are these two?" Jiang Wen asked with a smile.
Jiang Zhi said directly, "She is my friend. Why would Madam Jiang be interested in coming to my field? It's very dirty."
"Mr. Jiang, you're joking. Your fields are much cleaner than this apocalypse. It's truly refreshing."
"Madam Jiang has quite the eloquence," Jiang Zhi said with a dry laugh.
"I'm glad you like it, Mr. Jiang. You go ahead with your work; I'll just keep an eye on things from the side." Mrs. Jiang tactfully stood aside. Everyone likes to hear nice things, and Jiang Zhi was no exception; in short, saying nice things was always the right thing to do.
Jiang Wen didn't think Jiang Zhi was a fool who would trade grain for metal. She could have just gone to the ruins and taken the metal herself, but she insisted on exchanging it for grain.
What else could this be but idiot?
On the other hand, Jiang Zhi is also a smart person, otherwise she wouldn't have attracted so many people to fight over her.
Even she was not spared.
In a post-apocalyptic world, who wouldn't want a mobile food production facility?
Jiang Zhi, you are mine, and no one can take you away!
But the fact that those two guys were Jiang Zhi's friends was something I never expected. Their intimate behavior was definitely not what ordinary friends should be like.
Jiang Wen had to start making new plans in her mind.
"Boss, this is the woman. You have to be careful," Wang Wan whispered to Jiang Zhi while glancing at Jiang Wen.
"I understand." Jiang Zhi nodded slightly. On the surface, others thought they were just chatting and laughing.
"Most of the space ability users are gathered around Jiang Wen, and she also has an assassin protecting her, who is said to be her lover."
"This woman is quite impressive," Jiang Zhi sighed softly.
It's said that she's been single since birth in both her lives.
Why are people so different?
Jiang Zhi waved her hand, instantly ripening a batch of corn.
Her ability to transform all things into their original form is becoming increasingly proficient.
Zong Han frowned when he saw Jiang Wen strolling in the fields.
His nominal wife is getting increasingly involved.
It's common knowledge that she harbors ulterior motives. Zong Han usually turns a blind eye, but now that she's set her sights on Jiang Zhi, it's infuriating him.
She's always messing around with this and that, what a silly old woman.
"Haha, Boss Jiang, you're busy, aren't you?" Zong Han gave Jiang Wen a meaningful look before quickly turning to Jiang Zhi and laughing. The change in his expression was worthy of an Oscar.
Jiang Wen turned to the young man and asked, "Is he warning me?"
The pretty boy didn't dare to speak.
He was truly an insignificant person; Jiang Wen would give him a friendly face when she was happy, but would beat and kick him when she was unhappy.
