After scanning one unit, I went to the second unit.
Jiang Zhi's patience had been worn down.
After all that, there wasn't even a single piece of paper, let alone any grain.
Some doors had clearly been forcibly broken open, and the corpses had been stripped down to their underwear.
Zhou Heng was speechless. At least leave them with their underwear!
Jiang Zhi dragged a corpse by the ankle downstairs, threw the body on the snow, and left a pile of other things next to it.
Someone in the building across the street is lowering a rope down from the second floor, blocking the entrance door and preventing people from getting out normally.
The cold wind was biting, and a gust of snow fog was whipped up, making the already low visibility even worse.
"This door-to-door sweeping mission will give each person 30 points. I'll write you a slip of paper; you can collect it from the mission center later." Zhou Heng took out slips of paper stamped with the base's seal from his pocket and handed three to Jiang Zhi and the other two.
“Even more people died in the park, so I have to go there. I originally wanted to share one-third of the supplies I collected from the buildings with you, but someone was faster than us, so I can’t help it. I’m really sorry,” Zhou Heng said apologetically.
Jiang Zhi: "..."
"Boss, where are we going for lunch?"
"Solve it yourself." Jiang Zhi went upstairs without looking back.
Wang Wan pouted, knowing that Jiang Zhi was very unhappy, so he went to the base canteen with Yan Zhi. When they got there, they found that the canteen only served noodle soup.
It involves making flour into lumps and mixing them into porridge.
This porridge is salty, ensuring adequate salt intake. As for side dishes, forget about them; you won't even see a single pickled mustard green.
Why do I suddenly have such a strong urge to go back and cook for myself?
Thinking of Jiang Zhi, Wang Wan couldn't help but admire her. As expected of the boss, she had foresight and was living a life of luxury at home.
Waaaaah.
Wang Wan finished the bowl of noodle porridge with tears in her eyes, then accepted a small task from Yan Zhi to continue earning points in the afternoon.
They weren't as wealthy as Jiang Zhi, who had a lot of points; they still had to earn rent.
Back inside, Jiang Zhi took advantage of the fact that no one was downstairs, took out the heater, plugged it in, and dispelled the chill in the room.
You should never live on a low floor if you live on the ground floor, because the snow will quickly cover it.
Jiang Zhi lifted weights for a while, then prepared some meat for Wanfu to eat. The two of them, one human and one cat, ate Orleans roasted chicken.
After the meal, Jiang Zhi took a bamboo basket to the mountain to collect eggs. She collected them about once every two days, twenty eggs each time.
She recently discovered that a hen is brooding, which means she might be about to have chicks.
Jiang Zhi braised all the eggs she collected into tea eggs and placed them in the Time Freeze Zone to eat occasionally as a snack.
Cross out the new date on the calendar. If you look at the lunar calendar, Chinese New Year is just a week away.
Many people have probably forgotten the date and have no idea when the Spring Festival is. Moreover, in this situation, who even talks about the Spring Festival? Just being alive is already a blessing.
The next morning, Jiang Zhi, Yan Zhi, and Wang Wan went to the base center. Yan Zhi and Wang Wan took on their own missions, while Jiang Zhi went to find Zhang Zhaohe.
This is an unspoken understanding within the team; no one stipulates that members of a team must go in and out together, and eat and live together.
This was Jiang Zhi's first time entering the underground city in her life, and it was the same formula as in her previous life: a steel frame and iron plate structure with absolutely no sound insulation.
Using the toilet and washing up are all done in the public restrooms.
The underground city has four levels, each with a height of 2.3 meters. There are sixteen-person rooms, eight-person rooms, six-person rooms, four-person rooms, two-person rooms, and single rooms.
Most of the residents there are ordinary people with limited points, so they can't afford to live in luxurious houses. Even if they had points, they couldn't do it without the necessary resources.
Therefore, most people with superpowers live on the ground because they can use their superpowers to produce things.
Ordinary people can only rely on their own hands.
Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. Ordinary people don't have the ability of metal-type ability users to turn scrap metal into treasure. They mostly work on projects such as shoveling snow, cooking, moving corpses, and base construction.
The base is currently constructing four observation towers, which requires a large workforce, and many people have gone to the construction site.
Jiang Zhi followed the guidance to the deepest part of the underground, a place she had never set foot in in her previous life.
Sure enough, in the apocalypse, the size of one's fist determines one's status.
She wasn't afraid of Zhang Zhaohe capturing her for experiments; besides her cultivation skills, she also possessed firearms.
"Young friend Jiang, you've fought more than one mutated animal, haven't you?" Zhang Zhaohe asked, turning back as he walked.
Jiang Zhi's silence indicated her agreement.
"Our base's team of superhumans also fought off quite a few mutated animals. When the base was halfway through construction, a long, slender mutated animal, as thick as a child's arm, suddenly emerged from underground. That thing's mouth was as wide as its body, and it would suck up any flesh it saw. In the end, we used a grenade to blow its head off."
"Unexpectedly, something strange happened. The thing was still writhing, and we realized that it had two heads and mouths."
"Mutant earthworms."
“That’s right, hermaphroditic. How do you know? Have you seen it before?” Zhang Zhaohe looked at Jiang Zhi intently, trying to read something from her face.
"I've never seen it before. I'm just guessing. If the mutated animal is a mutation of an existing species, then the only possibility is an earthworm."
"How disgusting!" Jiang Zhi said with disgust.
There was an iron gate in front of them, and two soldiers with guns stood beside it.
Zhang Zhaohe proactively produced his access pass, which the two checked before opening the iron gate.
Behind the iron gate is a white, high-tech door that opens automatically after iris recognition.
“The fifth basement level is the central control test area. I called you here today to show you some documents, which is also a way for our base to show its sincerity.”
Jiang Zhi followed Zhang Zhaohe into the laboratory, which was divided into several areas, and the entire area could not be seen from the entrance. Zhang Zhaohe led Jiang Zhi through another door, which led to an office.
On the shelf against the wall in the office are various glass jars containing various human organs and animal babies preserved in formalin.
"This is my office. Just a heads up, don't look around." Zhang Zhaohe walked to his desk, sat down, and pulled out a document, pushing it towards Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi sat on the sofa, looking down as she flipped through the documents.
On the Intervention of Heterogeneous Energy Causing Climate Change and its Catastrophic Consequences
Jiang Zhi looked up, and Zhang Zhaohe said knowingly, "You must be wondering why we didn't prepare in advance."
“There are no conditions for confrontation,” Jiang Zhi said bluntly.
"You're right, humans are not even as good as dogs in the face of nature."
Zhang Zhaohe took a cup from the drawer and picked up a kettle of boiling water from the stove next to him to pour a cup for Jiang Zhi.
The steam from the boiling water dissipates quickly into the air.
"It was also last winter, much warmer than now, when scientists discovered that Earth was being intervened by a foreign energy. I told you yesterday that there was a special department a long time ago, which means that superhumans really do exist in the world, just not like those in American movies, and not as thrilling."
"So why are you telling me all this?"
