Chapter 40 Another Knock on the Door



After Wang Wan finished packing her things, she hummed a little tune as she went downstairs and headed straight for the supermarket. Only after Wang Wan left did Yan Zhi breathe a sigh of relief; at least she was gone.

This guy is a chatterbox; he kept chattering away the whole way, it was driving her crazy.

Hmm? This part of the wall... is a bit warmer than the surrounding area. As far as she knows, a young woman lives on the seventh floor, so it seems she's using a fire to keep warm at home.

A furnace, that's a good thing. Who knew that he picked up a few pieces of iron plates that Wang Wan hadn't finished using, activated his supernatural power, and the iron plates slowly deformed under the influence of his power, gradually forming the shape of a furnace.

It seems something is still missing. Who knows, the poor air circulation would likely lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, so a chimney is also needed.

There just weren't enough iron plates.

She stood at the door on the seventh floor for a while before turning around and heading to the top floor.

The top floor was covered with a thick layer of snow, but then we saw several abandoned iron barrels on it and dragged them back to the sixth floor.

The dragging noise was loud, and Jiang Zhi gritted her teeth inside the house. The construction work downstairs had been going on all morning, with waves of noise. Now it was right next to her ear.

Even so, Jiang Zhi did not open the door.

Who knew that two furnaces would be conjured up? If that kid doesn't get a furnace later, we can give him this extra one.

This house is a duplex, with a staircase leading to the seventh floor.

She checked and found that the doorway above the stairs was sealed off. She had previously gone up to the seventh floor and found that the door opposite was also sealed off.

So she became increasingly curious about what was sealed inside that room on the seventh floor.

At noon, Jiang Zhi was too lazy to cook, so she took out a boxed lunch and put it on the stove to wait for it to warm up before eating.

She ate a boxed lunch, and Wanfu ate the same thing as her; she wasn't picky at all.

However, after his second growth spurt, Wanfu's appetite increased.

Wang Wan spent one point to have lunch at the base canteen. The porridge contained cornmeal and was served with bland cabbage. It was barely edible, but it would stave off hunger for a while.

Realizing that Yanzhi hadn't eaten yet, I spent 15 points to buy a covered bowl and packed a meal for her to take back. Packing a meal costs 5 points, while dining in only costs 1 point. This was to control losses, since the base canteen only provides lunch.

"Miss Yanzhi, I'm back from saving the world! Look what I brought you!" As soon as Wang Wan entered the room, she found there was another person inside.

“It’s you! You’re here too.” Wang Wan’s eyes were crescent-shaped.

"You know her?" Yan Zhi looked at Wang Wan, her wariness easing slightly.

Although Wang Wan is a bit oblivious, he has a good eye for people and can distinguish between good and bad.

Wang Wan can smile so brightly at this woman, so his character is probably pretty good.

"Last time you gave me medicine, I didn't even know your name."

Jiang Zhi turned slightly to the side and said, "Little Prince of Science, Guardian of Earth's Justice, Psyduck Warrior, Wang Wan. My name is Jiang Zhi, Zhi from Anzhi Tinglan."

"You actually remember me? Your name is so beautiful." Wang Wan couldn't help but praise him. He put down what he was holding and rummaged through his suitcase for a long time before finally finding the item.

He proudly handed the Psyduck plush toy to Jiang Zhi.

"This is for you, my darling. If you hadn't given me the medicine last time, I might be in heaven with our little Psyduck now," Wang Wan said sincerely.

"It was just something I made, you don't need to worry about it." Jiang Zhi smiled, took the little doll, and said, "I'll take the gift. Keep it down, I'm going to sleep."

After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, she glanced at Yan Zhi and walked straight towards the door.

As she gazed at Jiang Zhi's retreating figure, her woman's intuition told her that this woman named Jiang Zhi was very strong.

Jiang Zhi chuckled softly, clutching the Psyduck in her hand. This was so Wang Wan.

She looked at the door mark on the wall opposite her room on the seventh floor. She had just gone downstairs and noticed that the stairs leading upstairs were blocked. What was in the next room that made it blocked?

“She lives in the same neighborhood as me. I notified her before she came to the base. She gave me fever reducers and anti-inflammatory medicine when she saw that I was sick. I didn’t expect that she would stay upstairs from me when she came to the base. Who knew that Miss Jiang Zhi would be such a nice person?”

"I understand," Yan Zhi said, glancing at the steamed buns Wang Wan had placed on the table.

Wang Wan immediately said, "I bought it for 1 point at the new canteen at the base. I figured you hadn't eaten, so I packed it up for you. The package price was 5 points."

Unexpectedly, he pulled out a furnace from behind the wall and said expressionlessly, "I condensed it using my supernatural abilities. Here, take it."

"Wow, Miss Yanzhi is really amazing. On behalf of Earth's Psyduck, I present you with the highest honor award."

Yan Zhi rolled his eyes, took the steamed buns and porridge into the house, and slammed the door shut.

The firewood was something she had dug out of the snowdrift; it was still wet and couldn't be burned.

The rented room had a wooden wardrobe, which she had already chopped into small pieces.

The porridge Wang Wan brought back had frozen solid. It took a lot of effort to light a fire and put the porridge on the stove to heat it up with an iron plate.

By the time we ate, it was already 4:30 in the afternoon.

I overused my powers today. Who knows if going to bed early and resting will allow me to recover some of my abilities?

Jiang Zhi was having a barbecue in the space, using charcoal taken from the stove. She was grilling gluten, potatoes, eggplant, chicken wings... having a great time.

Wanfu drooled as the aroma wafted into its nose, its little mouth agape, revealing its tiger teeth.

"So empty... so hungry..."

"Hungry my foot! I'll give you some after I've had my first bite." Jiang Zhi waved the small brush in her hand, applying paint to the roasted chicken wings.

I met Yan Zhi this afternoon. She was quite famous in the base, but she was short-lived and died in an attack by a mutated bird.

It is said that his chest was pierced by the beak of a bird with a long, sharp beak.

A heart shattered, even a god couldn't save it.

Jiang Zhi removed a roasted chicken wing and put it into Wanfu's bowl. Wanfu couldn't wait to eat it, making "ooh ooh" noises as he ate.

The bird with the long beak has been named the long-beaked, pointed-beak mutant bird by scientists. This bird prefers to ambush prey in flocks and can change its attack formation according to the position of its prey. It is a very intelligent mutant bird that can be deadly to humans.

Perhaps Jiang Zhi's words had an effect, because the noise downstairs really wasn't as loud anymore.

That evening, Jiang Zhi ate potato chips while listening to "Empresses in the Palace" on speakerphone. Wan Fu kept trying to squeeze onto her bed, and she could only let him be.

Two palm oil lamps hung on the wall, casting an orange glow on the bedroom, creating a strange and wonderful atmosphere.

The next morning, Jiang Zhi was roasting sweet potatoes, and she had sealed the cracks in the door to ensure that the aroma wouldn't escape.

There was another knock on the door, which annoyed her.

"Who is it?" he asked, his tone slightly angry.

There was no sound outside, so the knocking turned into banging on the door.
