Wanfu nuzzled Jiang Zhi's chin and hummed softly. It was quite large and couldn't hang around her neck like it had at first.
It usually stays in her backpack, with only its cat head peeking out.
After closing the door, Jiang Zhi sat cross-legged in front of the fire and began to cultivate.
The spiritual energy gathered within her body was already sufficiently potent, and she felt she was about to break through.
Of the two skills mentioned earlier, the second skill should have been a group attack. The moment she killed Zhao Pengcheng, she felt that she could condense two or even more ice arrows at once.
Condensing her spiritual energy, ice arrows floated in Jiang Zhi's hand—one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten… a total of eleven ice arrows. Jiang Zhi reached out and touched them; they were icy cold, and under the firelight…
The red glow of the charcoal fire shone on the ice arrow, creating shimmering reflections. A gust of cold wind blowing in through the crack in the door stirred up a few small sparks, which struck the ice arrow and instantly vanished.
Has the destructive power of the ice arrows also been upgraded?
When I woke up from my dream, I glanced at my watch and saw that the hour hand was at three.
At three in the morning, through the glass, Yan Zhi glanced at Jiang Zhi, who was meditating cross-legged, and cursed Wang Wan in his heart.
They were supposed to keep watch in the second half of the night, but now they're sleeping like logs.
Unexpectedly, she shook Wang Wan awake, kicked him out of the car, and Wang Wan mumbled a few words before taking over the night watch with Jiang Zhi.
"Why didn't you wake that idiot?" Yan Zhi asked, sounding very dissatisfied. Although Wang Wan was a mental ability user who was weak in close combat, he was part of the team and had agreed to stay up for the rest of the night, so he had to go.
"Cultivation? I forgot." Jiang Zhi slumped in the passenger seat, her eyes closed, and mumbled.
A moment later, apart from the sound of wind and snow, there was no other sound.
Wang Wan took out his notebook and wrote down what he had seen and heard over the past few days, carefully noting the dates. This was his habit. He touched the Psyduck brooch on his chest, half-closing his eyes, thinking of his parents far away in Wancheng.
This city, which is only a five-hour drive away in the post-apocalyptic world, now seems like an insurmountable chasm between them due to the natural disaster. With his abilities alone, he simply cannot reach Wancheng now.
His current superpower is precognition; in terms of combat ability, he's inferior to Yan Zhi and even more so to Jiang Zhi. Furthermore, he has no car and no gasoline. Aside from relying on the Shuofang base, he basically has no other options.
The next morning, to make up for sleeping in the night before, Wang Wan cooked breakfast. When they left, they took all the supplies they had stored at the base with them; breakfast consisted of sweet potato and mixed grain porridge and ham. The sweet potatoes were from Jiang Zhi's supplies, while the rice and ham were from his and Yan Zhi's supplies.
In addition to this, Wang Wan also boiled water so that Yan Zhi and Jiang Zhi could have hot water to wash their faces and brush their teeth when they got up.
After having breakfast, I covered up the traces outside the garage and headed to the Kaiping Coal Mine with an empty bag.
"Boss, those two beasts are dead." Wang Wan brushed aside the snow, revealing a torn centipede head.
These two beasts fought for a day and a night, like the snipe and the clam fighting, until they exhausted themselves to death.
"Are they all level two mutations?" Yan Zhi glanced at Jiang Zhi and asked.
"The centipede is level two, and the mutated python is level three; neither of them are easy to deal with."
"That centipede is really too strong. It can kill something a level higher than itself. It's quite capable." Wang Wan pulled out a small knife and poked around in the centipede's brain.
However, this brain is frozen so hard that it's impossible to dig it out.
"I'll do it." Yan Zhi squatted down and easily pierced the centipede's brain with his dagger, digging out the crystal inside.
Wow, what kind of knife is that?
"I've enhanced it."
"oh."
Yan Zhi handed the two crystals he had dug out to Jiang Zhi. Jiang Zhi wiped them with a rag, threw the crystals into a chewing gum box, and put them in her pocket.
She had given each of the two people a crystal before, and since the two she found today were both hers, she naturally wouldn't be polite.
She never does business that loses money.
Wang Wan had no objections. He brushed aside the snow to reveal the corpses of two mutated animals, then took out his phone and snapped two photos.
Both of them were dead, yet they were still tightly entangled. This proves that mutated animals will also kill each other. Even after mutation, they still retain their former territorial instincts and food chain awareness.
The snow piled up on the ground, covering everything that had happened yesterday.
Jiang Zhi pushed open the factory door. This was the workshop where honeycomb briquettes were produced. Coal transported from the mountain was processed into coal products here. Many honeycomb briquettes were piled up on the lathe, some showing signs of having been burned.
The ground was littered with torn corpses, a bloody mess, and headless bodies.
Upon witnessing this scene, Wang Wan couldn't help but bend over and gag. To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen anything like it.
Compared to Wang Wan, Yan Zhi was much calmer, showing no other reaction except for her fingers feeling a little stiff.
"If only we had spatial abilities, we could take so many good things, but only a limited amount of them," Yan Zhi sighed, expressing his regret.
Jiang Zhi remained silent.
Her vehicle has a rack on top for storing goods, which can hold a lot of things. But when driving in the snow, she can't carry too much, as the vehicle is too heavy and difficult to drive in the snow.
While Yan Zhi and Wang Wan were collecting honeycomb briquettes, Jiang Zhi went to other production workshops, collected most of the remaining coal, and kept some as a mere formality.
"Boss, come quick!" Wang Wan and Yan Zhi carried a large box out of the factory.
Jiang Zhi came out and saw Yan Zhi fiddling with an iron pipe.
"A hunting rifle?" Jiang Zhi jogged a few steps and picked one up.
"Yes, and there are bullets too. Finally, we have a firearm." Wang Wan touched this and that, clearly enjoying them.
"Very good." Jiang Zhi fiddled with the gun a few times and put it back in the box. She had quite a few firearms in her storage space, better than hunting rifles, and she had already used them once in front of these two.
Yan Zhi and Wang Wan both knew that Jiang Zhi had real weapons, but they never mentioned it or said anything.
In addition to shotguns and coal, some food was also found, including canned goods that could last for many years.
After loading everything into the car, the three headed to their next destination.
There's a large goods distribution warehouse in the High-tech Zone, which serves as a distribution center for a certain e-commerce platform. With so many goods there, it's bound to attract a large population.
On the way, they encountered a horde of mutated rats, all of them level one mutated, which was child's play for Jiang Zhi.
We got through it without any major incidents.
After defeating the mutated rat horde, Jiang Zhi and Wang Wan switched positions, with Wang Wan taking over the second half of the route.
As he carefully wiped the rat blood off the dagger, he suddenly looked up at Jiang Zhi.
Is it possible for a person to possess two superpowers?
Jiang Zhi was taken aback, then said, "At least I haven't seen it yet."
After a moment, Jiang Zhi continued, "The ancients divided all things into the Five Elements, which shows how powerful the Five Elements are. Metal is a very important element."
