Chapter 6: Starting with a Kitchen Knife



I'm grateful that my dad thought a lot about my mom before he went to see her. The wall in her yard is 2.3 meters high, almost as tall as a building. It's made of reinforced concrete, and it would look perfectly natural to stick broken glass into it.

Then Jiang Zhi stretched the electric fence around the wall again. After turning on the power, Jiang Zhi tested it with the white mice she had bought. The electricity was very strong, and the white mice were electrocuted.

After completing all this, Jiang Zhi installed solar power generation equipment on the villa. The process was somewhat complicated, but she studied it slowly and quickly got the hang of it.

Meanwhile, rice cookers were plugged into all the available sockets in the house, steaming rice.

After she finishes setting up the solar panels, she'll make rice balls.

Having lived through many years of the apocalypse in her previous life, she had honed her survival skills to an extreme level.

Besides, cooking is such a small thing.

She's good at everything from fixing cars to fighting monsters.

Unfortunately, it wasn't these external things that killed her, but rather the human heart.

"Ugh!" Jiang Zhi gagged as she thought of the scene of eating people.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong." A doorbell rang outside. Jiang Zhi saw a young man in a white shirt on the monitor. He was a stranger.

"Who are you looking for?" Jiang Zhi's voice came from the doorbell monitor, startling the young man. However, he quickly calmed down. Nowadays, many wealthy families use these smart doorbells, some even with AI responses; real people are rare.

"Hello, I'm your new neighbor who just moved in next door. We're doing renovations at home today and we've realized we're missing a hammer. Could I borrow yours for a bit?" the man said.

Jiang Zhi's face was covered in dust, and she was wearing a dirty apron, looking nothing like a pretty girl. She opened the door and wiped her hands on the apron.

"Hammer? I don't have any. Go find somewhere else." Jiang Zhi glanced at the man in the shirt and refused without hesitation.

The sun was blazing outside, and Jiang Zhi broke out in a light sweat as soon as she stepped out. This weather was truly awful.

The man in the shirt saw that the woman who opened the door for him was completely unkempt and assumed she was the family's housekeeper.

Are you a nanny?

“Yes, that’s me. My employer isn’t home,” Jiang Zhi replied. “I can confirm there are no renovation tools in the house.”

A hint of disdain flashed in the shirt-wearing man's eyes. He said, "Fine."

Jiang Zhi turned around and slammed the door shut, the iron gate rattling loudly.

A nanny? Damn it, is he blind?

The man in the shirt turned his head and sneered, "She's just a nanny, what's with all the arrogance?"

Jiang Zhi turned and went inside, washed her hands, and continued making rice balls.

She takes great care in making each rice ball.

There are ten flavors, including spicy cabbage and beef, stir-fried beef, and Sichuan peppercorn chicken. In addition to rice balls, she also makes her own boxed lunches.

Jiang Zhi's woks were constantly in use all day.

Looking at the messy kitchen and remembering that there were still a few days until June, Jiang Zhi gave up the idea of ​​cooking for herself.

She directly called a chain of deli restaurants and ordered 5,000 different flavored boxed meals, 3,000 different flavored sandwiches, 4,000 rice balls, and 2,000 servings of fruit and vegetable salads.

They prepare 1,000 meals every day at noon. Jiang Zhi paid a deposit and was able to collect all the boxed meals by early June.

Her space warehouse also contains a thousand boxes of various types of self-heating meals, hot pots, etc.

All the food combined would take her ten lifetimes to finish.

I guess I really did get food insecurity.

She currently has 300 million yuan that she hasn't spent yet, and she plans to buy many of them for free, so it can be considered as money saved up.

The social system will not collapse immediately at the beginning of the heatwave, which is why Jiang Zhi is not in a hurry at the moment.

After eating a rice ball she made herself, Jiang Zhi took out a kitchen knife and started practicing in the yard.

In her past life, she used a kitchen knife from beginning to end. The knife had countless nicks and was stained with countless drops of blood; it was her life-saving artifact.

She starts this life with a kitchen knife again, but with her spatial ability, she'll definitely live a more comfortable life than in her previous one.

With energy surging in her dantian, the faint clanging sound of Jiang Zhi's cleaver could be heard as she wielded it.

The cleaver moved at will in her hand, and every move she made was a deadly strike, capable of killing someone in an instant.

Her kitchen knife wasn't suitable for a sneak attack, so after practicing for two hours, Jiang Zhi took out a sharpened long knife and a short dagger.

A weapon must be suitable for oneself in order to be used freely. Jiang Zhi practiced dagger close combat for a while, and then started hitting the sandbag in the yard.

As the evening cooled down, Jiang Zhi drove to the commercial district.

The moon shines like snow, and neon lights dance in the air.

Jiang Zhi spent a whopping 20 million yuan at a gold shop, buying a bag of gold bars. She also visited several skincare and cosmetic stores, buying out all their stock.

She doesn't care about money anymore; she can spend tens of millions without a second thought.

When a shop assistant encounters such a crazy customer, as long as she pays, they don't care what she buys it for.

It was agreed beforehand that refunds would not be given after leaving the counter, and there is CCTV footage to prove it.

Jiang Zhi laughed it off. The store manager promised to deliver to her door. The address Jiang Zhi filled in was still the warehouse where she had previously stored the goods. She had signed a six-month contract for this warehouse, and there was still plenty of time.

After having a satisfying meal at a hot pot restaurant in the mall, Jiang Zhi drove home.

Darkness always breeds things that shouldn't exist, so Jiang Zhi changed course and drove onto a sparsely populated side road.

"Boss, that woman changed her route! This is like a godsend!"

"Hehe, isn't this just a fat sheep delivered to our door?"

"Quiet down, all of you. Better safe than sorry." The scarred man in the back seat impatiently threw his cigarette butt out the window.

The wealthy woman who just spent tens of millions of dollars at the mall has already caught their attention.

"Okay, boss."

Jiang Zhi parked the car on the side of the road, took out a chocolate bar from her bag, and put it in her mouth.

She couldn't very well refuse someone who was offering themselves up to die.

"Hehe, beautiful lady, you must be very lonely walking alone on this desolate road late at night, right?" The man with a pointed face and monkey-like features knocked on Jiang Zhi's car and smiled maliciously.

"What do you think?" Jiang Zhi asked in return.

The scarred man kicked away the monkey-faced man with a sharp mouth. The scar on his neck looked like a centipede and was quite terrifying.

The moment he stood by the car window, it gave off the feeling that he was about to rob and kill someone.

"Beautiful lady, civilized person, pay up and I won't kill you!" The scarred man was very polite.

"Yes, yes, yes, if they don't pay, they'll rape and then kill them!"

Jiang Zhi said in a deep voice, "Get out."

"Hey, boss, this chick's not taking it seriously." The monkey-faced man gloated.

"Drag her out." The scarred man kicked the car hard.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhi took out a kitchen knife from her bag and opened the door open in a straightforward manner.

"You've followed me all this way, you must be tired, go for it!"

A kitchen knife was placed in front of Jiang Zhi, its sharp blade reflecting a dim light under the murky streetlights.

"Don't push your luck!" the scarred man roared.

"Little girl, you've successfully angered me!"

"Heh." Jiang Zhi seemed to have heard a ridiculous joke. She took the initiative and spun around, delivering a flying kick that landed squarely on the crotch of the man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face.

"Ouch! Ouch!" The sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced man was instantly writhing in pain.

"The boss killed her!"
