"We suspect that Earth has experienced a similar catastrophe in the past, but unlike the asteroid impact that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, Earth once had a glorious civilization. We call this the Pre-Era, which means that Earth was once completely wiped out, like a game reset, and it was a mass extinction of humanity."
"Is this something we could have avoided? Just sit here and wait to die." Jiang Zhi leaned back on the sofa cushion, her grip on the documents tightening.
Whether she dies early or late, she'll still die, so her death in her past life wasn't unjust.
Zhang Zhaohe's words just now completely confirmed the passage that had been passed down in her mind after she became connected with the space.
Space is related to the previous Earth cycle era.
Earth has gone through the last cycle of time, killing everyone and obliterating that bizarre and fantastical era.
This chaotic and polluted so-called modern civilization is about to be wiped out.
Humans are making their final struggle.
What should we do? She really doesn't want to die.
"Your ability to kill a level three mutated animal is undoubtedly extremely powerful."
“No, you overestimate me.” Jiang Zhi wasn’t expressing humility; she continued, “I was able to kill that snake entirely because someone helped me restrain it.”
"We know all of this; it's that metal-type ability user, isn't it?"
Jiang Zhi nodded slightly.
"This doesn't stop us from choosing you. The days ahead will be even more difficult, and we... hope you can survive to the end."
Zhang Zhaohe's hesitant yet sincere demeanor left Jiang Zhi puzzled.
What does it mean to hope that she will live to the end?
Are there deeper secrets she doesn't know? In her previous life, she only lived for ten years of the apocalypse, and she was constantly struggling to survive, missing out on a lot of important information.
Is there a chance of reincarnation?
Zhang Zhaohe did not reveal anything, and Jiang Zhi remained puzzled.
Then Zhang Zhaohe took out two crystals, one red and one blue, and handed them to Jiang Zhi, saying with a smile, "The Shuofang Base needs to count the number of bases of all sizes in Jiangcheng and collect information on mutated animals. The base is severely lacking in information on mutated animals. This task has been assigned to the other three ability groups. Rewards will be distributed according to the completion rate of the task, with a minimum of three thousand points and two level-two crystals per person. Are you interested?"
"Is there really such a good thing?" Jiang Zhi casually put the crystal Zhang Zhaohe gave her into her pocket.
She was clearly much happier.
"Naturally, contributions are calculated based on the value of what was brought back."
“Okay, I’ll take it. But my team only has three people, so you have to show us the information you got before. We can’t have come all this way for nothing, right?” Jiang Zhi spread her hands.
“Of course.” Zhang Zhaohe was certain that Jiang Zhi would not refuse; he had long ago realized that Jiang Zhi was not a homebody.
Jiang Zhi had indeed considered giving up before, but there were too many mysteries buried in her heart, so after considering everything, she decided to take the risk.
Life is like a dream, so let's go all out and do it to the fullest!
At worst, my physical body will perish, and I'll be a hero again in the next life.
This time, the materials weren't handwritten, but printed. There were more than twenty sheets of paper in a file folder, along with a very detailed black and white map.
Jiang Zhi took her things home. Most of the snow on the road had been cleared. The cleared snow was transported by hand to a low-lying lake next to the base. This lake dried up when it was extremely hot, filled up again during heavy rain, and was frozen after the extreme cold.
The reason for piling snow into the lake is to prevent the lake from drying out if the weather suddenly changes and it gets hot.
As Jiang Zhi walked downstairs in the residential area, she encountered people carrying bodies from Building 16. Among the frozen corpses, she spotted Lin Yue.
Life is truly unpredictable.
Just a few days ago he was shouting at the door, and now he's a cold corpse.
These bodies were all transported to a designated location for disposal.
Jiang Zhi withdrew her gaze.
The fire in the stove was still burning. Jiang Zhi added a few pieces of coal, straightened the pot, and poured in the spring water produced in the space.
Then she added ginger and brown sugar, first simmering ginger soup to dispel the cold. After the ginger soup was ready, she took out another pot to cook porridge.
Thick porridge is more comforting in this weather.
Of course, she didn't intend to eat this. The porridge had salt and potato chunks in it, so it wouldn't boil over on the stove.
Jiang Zhi slipped into the space, changed into comfortable home clothes, and took out a cold-cooked rabbit from the prepared food section.
Wanfu had been lingering in the space for a long time, and as soon as he saw Jiang Zhi, he rushed over and Jiang Zhi hugged him tightly.
"Mommy, I'm hungry," Wanfu mumbled in Jiang Zhi's arms.
"Is that all you know?" Jiang Zhi raised both hands in a gesture of respect, and this guy seemed to have gotten heavier.
I caught a glimpse of a thin yellow hair on Wanfu's beak. Isn't that a chicken's hair?
Jiang Zhi investigated and found a pile of chicken feathers on the mountain, covered in blood.
"You stinky pig, you actually stole some food while I was away! Tell me! How many did you eat? Where are the little thrushes?" Jiang Zhi clenched her fist and threw a series of punches at Wan Fu, who skillfully dodged them all.
"Meow! Kill meow! You're inhuman!" Wanfu cried out pitifully as he dodged.
Its voice was strange, not the kind of voice a human could have, but Jiang Zhi could hear it clearly.
Wanfu does indeed speak human language.
"You fucking stop right there! I'm only asking you how many you ate!" Jiang Zhi stopped and pointed at Wan Fu.
She wasn't angry; she remained calm.
Yes, she was very calm.
Wanfu tentatively confirmed that Jiang Zhi was indeed not angry, then scurried over and rubbed against her leg.
"Meow, it's meow again..."
Before Wan Fu could finish speaking, Jiang Zhi grabbed him and gave him a good spanking.
"Tell me, where's Little Thrush?"
"Eat...eat..."
"Smack!"
"Say it again?" Jiang Zhi slapped Wanfu's bottom again, making a loud thud.
"No, meow, I didn't eat."
Just then, a small brown bird flew over from a distance, chirping around Jiang Zhi before finally landing on her shoulder.
Wanfu raised his face, looking aggrieved.
I've lost my feline dignity; I'll never be able to hold my head high in front of Little Thrush again.
The little thrush hadn't mutated or developed any intelligence; it simply acted on instinct to be close to Jiang Zhi. Jiang Zhi patted its little head, and it flew away contentedly.
"Remember to wipe your mouth clean next time you sneak food. The chicken feathers on your mouth are evidence of your mistakes. You're not learning anything good, you're learning to sneak food! Don't eat lunch, two chickens won't kill you." Jiang Zhi grabbed Wanfu, hugged him and rubbed him, then scolded him.
Wanfu gradually lost himself under Jiang Zhi's caresses; no grievance could compare to being petted by his master.
After having a good meal in the space, Jiang Zhi took a comfortable hot bath, changed back into a heavy sweater and down jacket, and only left the space after making sure that neither she nor Wan Fu had any other smells.
The porridge on the stove had thickened, and Jiang Zhi steamed a few more sweet potatoes.
I took out the Lao Gan Ma chili sauce I bought at the supermarket last time.
Just then, the sound of a door opening came from downstairs.
