Jiang Zhi stood on the corrugated steel roof and watched the sun rise.
These people dared not act recklessly in the high temperature.
Unable to enter the second house, they had no choice but to give up and wander around the neighborhood, waiting for a suitable opportunity.
"There's a woman standing on the corrugated steel roof!"
Everyone looked up, but Jiang Zhi didn't even glance at them before turning around and going into the house.
The moment she entered the room and closed the window, sunlight pierced the ground beneath her feet like a thousand arrows, also penetrating the group of thugs.
"The sun is out! Hurry back! Run!"
Based on accumulated experience, five minutes of exposure to such intense sunlight can cause heatstroke, leading to internal organ damage, and death within two hours.
Seeing the group of people run away, Zhou Heng, who was in the distance, also went inside.
Just now, Jiang Zhi was standing where dawn was breaking in the east, and she was backlit.
The sunlight was so bright it made Zhou Heng's eyes blurry, and he became a little curious about what Jiang Zhi had done before.
Like an artist making art.
That's right, the kind of artist who studies classical art.
If Jiang Zhi knew that Zhou Heng thought this way about her, she would definitely burst out laughing.
An artist? The art of killing?
Because of the home invasion robbery, many people in the neighborhood who were afraid of being robbed on the street were unwilling to go with Zhou Heng. In the end, Zhou Heng and Xiao Gui stayed behind, while the other two rode away on bicycles carrying large and small bags.
They still had a mission, and more importantly, they needed to go back and report.
At one o'clock in the morning, Jiang Zhi left her home, wanting to go down the mountain to see the current state of the city.
Riding her mountain bike, Jiang Zhi glided down the mountain along the stones laid out at the edge of the road. The temperature halfway down the mountain was a little cooler than at the bottom, but it wasn't much better.
The city was pitch black, without a single ray of light, eerily silent, without even the sound of insects chirping.
The place reeked of decaying flesh. It must have been a dead body with nowhere to go, and the hot weather caused it to rot quickly.
Jiang Zhi stored the bicycle away in the corner. Under the night vision goggles, she held a kitchen knife, not daring to relax for a moment.
This is... a mass grave!
A wide crack appeared in the roadside sewer, and inside lay many corpses, men, women, and children, all unrecognizable.
Jiang Zhi silently put on a gas mask and took out disinfectant to spray herself.
She looked around; the city was deserted at night. She heard faint noises coming from underground shopping malls and residential areas, which she guessed were mostly coming from the basements.
On the ground, most of the shelves in supermarkets, restaurants, and snack shops were empty; all the food had been looted, leaving only inedible items such as daily necessities.
Jiang Zhi started buying things for free.
She has no shortage of food and drink, but these daily necessities will become scarce products in the future.
As long as they weren't broken, Jiang Zhi put them all into her spatial storage.
Brooms, mops, pots and pans, laundry detergent, sanitary napkins, thermos containers, cups, quilts... Jiang Zhi made her way to the warehouse.
Hearing faint breathing sounds inside, she turned and left for her next destination.
There are more than a dozen large supermarkets in Jiangcheng. She can't possibly visit them all in one night. She takes as much as she can. She doesn't look at any of the small supermarkets.
This is Jiangcheng's only chance; the rest are for others.
Jiang Zhi bought all the medicines for free at three large supermarkets. Then she went to several pharmacies, taking some of both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, leaving the rest for others.
After returning home, Jiang Zhi disinfected the things she had brought back and cleaned out a batch of medicines that had spoiled due to the hot weather. They were all Western medicines, which are not heat-resistant, and those with sugar coatings had turned into crumbs.
The aroma of the Chinese herbs is acceptable; most of them are of good quality.
There was also a batch of medical equipment, syringes, and so on. After Jiang Zhi properly arranged the medicine, it was already noon, and the temperature had risen to 60 degrees Celsius.
She simply didn't leave the space, and she didn't plan to eat any of the prepared food today; she would cook rice herself using the gas stove.
She doesn't usually use gas canisters for cooking; most of the time she eats ready-made meals stored in her space, so if she saves a little gas, one canister can last for half a year.
There was a wood-burning stove over at the thatched hut. Although Jiang Zhi knew how to use it, it was not as convenient as a gas stove.
She has more than a hundred gas cylinders, and each cylinder lasts an average of six months, so it can last for at least fifty years.
In addition, she also has a gas stove and a lot of gas.
The rice was already prepared, so Jiang Zhi planned to make garlic crayfish. The crayfish had entered the space alive and was still fresh.
Jiang Zhi used her mind to control the space and cleaned the lobster, then deep-fried it in plenty of oil until cooked.
The lobsters are fried until they are bright red and tempting. Leave a little oil in the pan and add the prepared ingredients such as scallions, ginger, and Sichuan peppercorns.
In just a moment, the aroma of garlic lobster filled the air.
"Wow, it smells so good~" Jiang Zhi swallowed, it's absolutely amazing!
She is the God of Cooking in the Apocalypse! Please call her the God of Cooking, Little Jiang!
Crayfish with ice-cold beer, and a side of squid and potatoes—perfect!
Watching variety shows while eating crayfish and sucking on the shells is so satisfying!
After eating and drinking her fill, Jiang Zhi wandered around the space for a while.
The temperature inside the space remained between 18 and 30 degrees Celsius, 18 degrees Celsius before sunrise and 30 degrees Celsius after sunrise.
Very suitable.
It rains in the space, but the rain is limited to a few mountains.
Jiang Zhi could occasionally see fish swimming in the deep pool under the waterfall. They were all small freshwater fish fry that she had put in before. Except for the red carp, the rest were not for ornamental purposes.
The chickens and ducks have recently started incubating their eggs, and it looks like she'll be having a brood of chicks and ducklings. As for the pigs, cows, and sheep, there's been no sign of them yet.
As October progressed, Jiang Zhi suddenly discovered that her phone had a faint signal.
Has the impact of the solar storm passed?
Jiang Zhi picked up the walkie-talkie and radio and started tuning the frequency. Intermittent static came from the radio.
Still, no one spoke.
Jiang Zhi refused to believe it and wanted to try it several more times.
At first, there was a constant buzzing sound of electricity, but then the buzzing stopped. Jiang Zhi let go of her hand and waited for the result.
"Jiangcheng Base, Jiangcheng Base..."
"Monster! Help! There's a monster!"
"Monster? Mutant animal!" Jiang Zhi slammed her hand on the table. Had the Jiangcheng base fallen?
Impossible. In the first few months of the apocalypse, there were only a few scattered mutated animals. To wipe out the Jiangcheng base, it would have to be at least a beast tide composed of a group of mutated animals.
There is absolutely no possibility of a beast tide occurring now.
Both mutated animals and humans are still in the early stages of evolution. Everything in the universe seeks a balance, and Jiang Zhi believes that mutated animals are specifically designed to stimulate awakened humans, so mutated animals can never grow up before humans do.
But there are always exceptions.
While Jiang Zhi was receiving radio waves from the radio, Zhou Heng was working on the most primitive form of power generation. He used all his knowledge of biology, physics, and chemistry; he was determined to obtain electricity.
