Chapter 66: Turning in the quest and having a barbecue



In short, the events I've experienced in the past few days have been truly legendary, including those cannibalistic monsters. How long has this natural disaster even started? My understanding has been refreshed once again. This world is no longer normal; I must be careful in everything I do from now on.

While driving through Wangwan, Jiang Zhi, looking at the map, fell asleep immediately.

Jiang Zhi was quite tired after not getting much sleep last night and having fought today. Wan Fu nestled on Jiang Zhi's lap, occasionally licking her hand and rubbing against the back of it.

After driving for about an hour and a half, Wang Wan parked his car outside a shopping mall. Unexpectedly, he got out of the car carrying a sack and went to the mall to fill a large bag with daily necessities, including towels, tissues, sanitary napkins, toothpaste, toothbrush, shower gel, and laundry detergent.

The food section was empty, there was nothing left. Only the household goods section had some items left, but not many.

The kitchen utensils, knives, and pots in the kitchenware area have all been looted.

Who knew that after getting on the bus, Wang Wan would get off carrying a sack, pick and choose, and even take a razor.

Jiang Zhi opened her eyes and met Yan Zhi's gaze.

"Are you getting off? Do you need some daily necessities? There's plenty more inside."

"You only used it for a few months?" Jiang Zhi asked after looking at it.

"The car can't hold it all."

"Why."

Jiang Zhi took a bag downstairs, filled two large sacks, and tied them to the roof of the car. When Wang Wan saw this, his eyes reddened, and he went downstairs and carried another sack back up. Yan Zhi didn't say anything, got out of the car, and rummaged through it, filling the car to the brim, even the roof was overflowing.

The space inside the car is so cramped that you can barely sit down. Apart from the driver's seat, it's difficult to even turn around in the other two seats.

"I'll drive after I cover the roof of the car with a tent cloth." Jiang Zhi glanced at Wang Wan. In any case, if the snow on the return road had been cleared by the authorities, it would take at most another hour and a half to drive back.

The road is still covered in snow, making driving extremely slow.

Jiang Zhi refueled the car and turned on the air conditioning. The windows were covered with condensation, making it impossible to see inside from the outside.

The daytime temperature is slightly higher than the nighttime temperature, around minus fifty degrees Celsius.

After driving for more than half an hour, Jiang Zhi finally reached a section of road with a thinner layer of snow, which must have been cleared before. However, the snowy roads were still slippery, so she couldn't drive too fast.

Wang Wan slept and woke up, slept and woke up again, and after doing this three times, he finally saw the red flag.

The flag stood at the base's main gate, whistling in the cold wind. Like a beacon in this vast sea of ​​snow, seeing it meant finding hope for survival.

Jiang Zhi sped up; it was getting dark, and she needed to get in as soon as possible.

After swiping ten points upon entering, the road became much easier once inside the base. Jiang Zhi sped up and quickly arrived at her apartment building.

The three of them silently carried all the items upstairs in separate trips.

Each person carried their own load.

Jiang Zhi placed the sack by the door, and upon seeing the door that had been violently broken open, she gave a cold smile.

She gently pushed open the door, and as expected, there was a pool of blood on the floor, which had already frozen into ice.

Before leaving, Jiang Zhi meticulously set up a secret trap to prevent burglaries. Of course, she left nothing in her house; everything was stored in her spatial storage. Those who broke in would not only get nothing but also lose their lives.

The fact that no body was visible indicates that it was a group crime.

Jiang Zhi took out gasoline, poured it on the bloodstain, melted the ice, wiped it with a burlap sack, and then sprayed it with hydrogen peroxide to completely remove the trace.

"Boss, your house got robbed? Is anything missing? Damn it, people these days are so morally corrupt."

"No." Jiang Zhi shook her head.

"That's true, we took all the food with us, there's no point in stealing the rest. Do you still have your stove?"

"It's still there."

It's good that nothing is missing.

After Wang Wan finished moving his things, he helped Jiang Zhi move hers. When they were done, Jiang Zhi wanted to drive her car to the base's underground parking lot, so Wang Wan watched the door for her.

All the items that belonged to the collective that were recovered this time were moved into Jiang Zhi's room, just waiting for Jiang Zhi to return and divide the spoils.

Jiang Zhi took Wang Wan's points card, drove Yan Zhi to the underground parking lot, and then entered the base's ability user mission extraction center through a small door in the parking lot. Jiang Zhi and Yan Zhi each carried a burlap sack containing parts of the corpses of mutated centipedes, rats, and pythons.

Then came the camera, the oil drum, and Wang Wan's phone. After submitting all the documents, each of the three cards received an additional 3,200 points, and they also received the crystals they were entitled to.

Thanks to Wang Wan for writing such a detailed mission log late into the night, recording everything she saw and heard along the way. Jiang Zhi didn't need to answer many questions and was quickly released.

Just as Jiang Zhi arrived at the entrance of the Superpower Center, a staff member ran out and told her to come to the Superpower Center at 3 PM the next day, as Zhang Zhaohe was looking for her.

Little did they know that after renewing their rent for two more months at the real estate agency, the two returned home to find it was almost dark.

Wang Wan was cooking canned beef soup on the stove when he saw the two return. He excitedly asked, "How much did you collect? How many points?"

Yan Zhi tossed Wang Wan's card to him and took out two crystals from his small bag. The Superpower Center felt that the information they had brought back about the survivors was insufficient, so they gave Jiang Zhi one green crystal and one blue crystal, and gave Yan Zhi and Wang Wan one green crystal each.

Jiang Zhi now has four more crystals, which she threw into the space iron box.

"What are we having for dinner? I only made ginger soup and canned beef soup." Wang Wan happily put away the points card and crystal, and added, "Besides these, there's no meat at all."

"And you say that? You haven't eaten meat for months," Yan Zhi muttered.

"Meow~" Sorry, I just ate meat not long ago. Wanfu scratched at the sofa with its paws, and after receiving a threatening look from Jiang Zhi, it immediately retracted its paws and obediently jumped onto the sofa to fix Jiang Zhi's head in cat form.

The coal fire burned brightly, casting a red glow on the faces of the three men.

Jiang Zhi asked, "Barbecue?"

"hold head high?"

"With seasonings, grilled vegetables are also very satisfying."

"OK."

Grilled sweet potatoes, potatoes, luncheon meat, and bacon.

Jiang Zhi cooked another pot of porridge. This time, she didn't add any sweet potatoes; instead, she added bone broth and chicken powder, giving the porridge a rich meaty aroma.

She secretly took this from her spatial storage, mixing it among her pile of seasonings; a little of it was enough to make a delicious dish. It was a small target, making the cheating less likely to be exposed.

"Boss, what did you cook that smells so good?"

"I grabbed this seasoning when I was collecting supplies," Jiang Zhi said, pointing to the chicken powder in the seasoning bag.

"Wow, why was I so stupid back then? Why didn't I think of these things?" Wang Wan wanted to punch himself twice, regretting his past actions.

Barbecue is simply done by placing a wire mesh on the grill, then putting sliced ​​potatoes and sweet potatoes on it, brushing them with oil, barbecue seasoning, and chili powder—the aroma is irresistible. It turns out that Yan Zhi is the expert at barbecuing.

Jiang Zhi's grilled food was either burnt or undercooked.
