"We went out on a small mission. How was your trip?" Jiang Zhi asked, taking the initiative.
"It's good that neither Sister Yanzhi nor I were injured. The scariest thing was encountering a large bird that killed many people. The authorities have announced the name of this bird: 'sharp-beaked long-beaked bird.' It was terrifying. It took five or six ability users to kill just one. The base is still studying it."
"Really? I encountered a toad this time. It was covered in pus and smelled awful, yet it didn't freeze." Jiang Zhi recounted her experience, explaining that sometimes satisfying others' curiosity is necessary to ensure one's safety.
"Wouldn't that be utterly disgusting?"
"But the points are considerable," Jiang Zhi said with a smile.
"Wow."
"I'll rest for the next few days. I'll call you when there are some well-paid missions later." Jiang Zhi said as she went upstairs, unlocked the door with her key, and Wang Wan nodded. The two of them went into their respective rooms.
After closing the door and propping it up with a wooden stick, Jiang Zhi immediately led Wan Fu into the space.
Stripping off her thick clothes, Jiang Zhi didn't care about the dirt and collapsed onto the sofa. She felt so tired; her legs were swollen and her stomach ached.
Is my period about to start?
I need to take a hot shower right away and then put on a heat pack.
Even though she cultivates spiritual energy in her dantian, her menstrual cramps are not affected by each other.
You cultivate your path, I'll suffer my own pain.
After lying down for a while, Jiang Zhi went to the shelf to get her usual brand of sanitary napkins, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and made herself some brown sugar ginger tea to ward off the chill.
Jiang Zhi hadn't dealt with the several mutated animals she'd brought back yet, so she planned to leave them for now and deal with them once her pain subsided.
After drinking brown sugar ginger tea, Jiang Zhi cooked a piece of beef for Wanfu and took two servings of fried rice from the deli section for it as its main meal. She herself ate a steak and a plate of pasta.
In the middle of the night, Wanfu nestled next to Jiang Zhi, pressing tightly against her stomach.
Wanfu was like a warm fireball, comforting Jiang Zhi's stomach and easing her pain.
Jiang Zhi touched Wanfu's chubby face and felt that having a cat son was really great.
For three consecutive days, Jiang Zhi occasionally went out of the space to check, but spent the rest of the time inside.
After the pain subsided, Jiang Zhi began to deal with the sharp-snout beak and the leopard.
Wanfu had already eaten all the tiger's meat, so this leopard was a good replacement. However, its pelt was damaged, so Jiang Zhi hung it together with the tiger's pelt.
Cut the meat into pieces and hang them to dry at the edge of the quiet zone, so Wanfu can eat it whenever he gets hungry.
Then there was the sharp beak and long proboscis. When the bird's beak burned, it emitted a particularly foul odor. Jiang Zhi found it as disgusting as a toad, so she decided to throw it away as soon as possible to avoid upsetting herself.
As for the feathers, this thing is covered with a thick layer of feathers. These feathers are incredibly tough; even a gun couldn't penetrate them today. They could be made into armor.
The inside is lined with double-layered down, which is so fine that it's perfect for making down jackets.
Fortunately, everything in the space was under her control, so plucking the hairs wasn't difficult.
After separating the large feathers and down, Jiang Zhi found five headless, naked, sharp-beaked corpses in front of her. After dismembering them, Jiang Zhi placed them together with strips of leopard meat. If Wan Fu wanted to eat them, he could go and eat them himself.
With so much meat, Wanfu won't need to go up the mountain to steal chickens and ducks for a while.
"Mom, does it still hurt?" Wanfu came over and clung to Jiang Zhi.
"It doesn't hurt anymore, Wanfu. We're going out now. You've changed so much, so try to be as inconspicuous as possible once we're out, okay? When Mommy is truly invincible, you can proudly show off in front of everyone." Jiang Zhi stroked Wanfu's fur, which was soft and comfortable.
Listen to your mother.
After leaving the space, Wanfu nuzzled Jiang Zhi and went into the bedroom, where he warmed himself by the stove.
Jiang Zhi also placed a sofa in the bedroom, which was just right for Wanfu.
After the fire was lit, the temperature in the room rose rapidly, and water droplets appeared on the walls.
Jiang Zhi boiled a pot of brown sugar ginger soup and set it aside. Then she changed the water in the pot, took out dumplings from her space, cooked the dumplings, and ate them with chili water.
Her favorite thing to do is sit around the stove and cook dumplings.
Nothing much has happened lately, except for Zhou Heng coming to tell her to go see Zhang Zhaohe.
Since the base received a batch of supplies last time, Jiang Zhi hasn't done any more base missions. Now, every three days, Zhang Zhaohe drags her to memorize a stack of documents, all of which are the latest achievements from the base.
Half of it was information Jiang Zhi already knew, and some of it was internal information that she had never come into contact with before.
Jiang Zhi was becoming increasingly clear about what the base wanted to do, and she also gained a basic understanding of the overall post-apocalyptic situation.
She memorized the materials they gave her, and she accepted the supplies they gave her.
While Jiang Zhi was looking at the documents, Zhang Zhaohe suddenly said, "We extracted a substance from the venom of the toad you brought back last time. Experiments have shown that this venom has medical effects and is very helpful for wound healing."
"Good thing." Jiang Zhi didn't even look up, appearing very serious.
"Then you should bring back more mutated beasts while ensuring your own safety. I heard you've been staying home a lot lately, that won't do, or you'll run out of resources."
"I understand, I understand," Jiang Zhi nodded perfunctorily.
Zhang Zhaohe stopped talking. After Jiang Zhi finished reading the information, she said goodbye and left, leaving Zhang Zhaohe staring blankly.
"What's going on? It seems like you haven't won over Jiang Zhi yet? This girl is fighting all by herself, and you, a strong and capable soldier, haven't even won her heart?" Zhang Zhaohe pointed at Zhou Heng with a pen in his hand, saying with a look of utter disappointment.
Zhou Heng expressed his helplessness, asking him to seduce Jiang Zhi?
Look at his face before you speak.
He was indeed big and burly with a good physique, but as for looks, he was completely unattractive! He even had a scar on his face, a mark of a second-class merit he received during a mission.
Besides, the girl never had the slightest interest in him from beginning to end.
He only remained curious.
After getting to know Jiang Zhi, Zhou Heng felt that if Jiang Zhi were to cultivate, she would definitely cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness. She would be very clear about the relationships around her, neither taking advantage of others nor engaging in frivolous affairs.
You should know that there's a bad atmosphere in the base; even a small team leader in charge of logistics might be dating several different women at the same time.
Don't you know why Jiang Zhi was chosen by you?
It's already a sign of her good upbringing that Jiang Zhi didn't mind his ugly face, let alone his appearance. Any other person who's obsessed with looks would have run away long ago.
Seeing Zhou Heng's nonchalant attitude, Zhang Zhaohe waved his hand impatiently. The task of doing ideological work with Jiang Zhi was extremely difficult.
There was absolutely no sense of belonging to the base in her.
