Chapter 81 Going Home



Once the car was out of the base's surveillance range, Jiang Zhi got out, moved the SUV into the space, and took out a diesel vehicle instead.

Tractors are much easier to drive than off-road vehicles, but they are a little noisy, so Jiang Zhi chose to take the less traveled outer ring road.

It took me half a day to get back home.

Without a doubt, her home was frozen solid. Jiang Zhi didn't go inside immediately. Instead, she checked the entire neighborhood to make sure there were no living people in the community before turning her attention back to her own home.

After breaking through the ice, Jiang Zhi used an excavator to dig out the snow in the yard. After more than an hour, she finally cleared all the snow out of the yard.

Jiang Zhi put away the excavator, scraped off the ice on the door, and then pushed open the door and went inside.

When she left, she sealed all the doors and windows of the house, so the interior of the house was not damaged.

"Mom, is this our home?" Wanfu asked happily, wagging its tail after running up and down the stairs.

"Yes, this is Mom's home, and it will be your home from now on."

Jiang Zhi set up two stoves in the house, built a chimney, and lit the charcoal fire.

"Wow, isn't this much bigger than that crappy little room?" Wanfu jumped around excitedly.

Jiang Zhi placed a pot of water on a stove, then took out frozen dumplings from her spatial storage, turned on her tablet to play a fantasy drama, and gave Wanfu a piece of mutated beast meat to fill his stomach.

After laying a carpet in the second-floor living room, the water in the pot boiled.

Brew a cup of Pu'er tea, then put the dumplings in.

Then Jiang Zhi took out two pork knuckles and a plate of cold rabbit from her space. These were dishes she had packed before the apocalypse. The pork knuckles were soft, tender and fragrant. Jiang Zhi poured the pork knuckles from the disposable lunch box into an iron basin and placed it on the edge of the stove.

A wire mesh was placed in the middle of the stove, and frozen beef strips and other vegetables were arranged on it.

The temperature in the room rose. Glancing at the thermometer, the room temperature had reached ten degrees Celsius. Jiang Zhi took off her thick coat and changed into a coral fleece loungewear.

She moved out the sofas they used at the base, one for her and one for Wanfu.

"fragrant!"

Wanfu sat on the sofa, staring at the dark red pork knuckle on the stove, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Once the dumplings were cooked, Jiang Zhi scooped them out and prepared a nice plate for Wanfu. She ceremoniously arranged eight dumplings on a spoonful and then drizzled them with her homemade non-spicy sauce.

"Ooh ooh ooh, delicious, delicious!" Wanfu squealed as he ate.

Jiang Zhi smiled as she watched Wanfu eat dumplings while flipping over the sizzling beef strips, spreading sauce on them, giving Wanfu a few strips, and eating the rest herself.

After the meat was roasted, Jiang Zhi pushed the pork knuckle further in, as it would be more fragrant if heated over a stove.

Rich but not greasy, soft and chewy.

One bite, and the fragrance lingers on your lips and teeth.

"Mmm, it's delicious." Jiang Zhi couldn't help but praise.

While at the base, to avoid being exposed, she ate most of the time in her spatial dimension. Inevitably, she had a concern: she couldn't know what was happening outside while in her spatial dimension. If someone broke into her home and couldn't see her, she would be exposed.

When going out on missions, in order to avoid being noticed, it is inevitable to share hardships with teammates and eat some rough food.

But now she doesn't have to worry anymore. She's at home, and she can do whatever she wants.

The knife was used to cut the pork knuckle into small pieces for Wanfu, who devoured it in a flash.

After finishing her meal, Jiang Zhi cleaned up the leftovers and poured the remaining scraps into the swill bucket, storing up a larger amount to feed the pigs.

There are now two sows, more than forty piglets, and one paternal boar on the mountain.

Jiang Zhi plans to kill the male pig once the piglets have grown to a certain size, so she can have fresh pork.

In addition, there are cattle and sheep. These two species have a lower reproductive capacity than pigs, but it is still possible to slaughter one or two sheep to make roast whole lamb.

When she bought them, she didn't buy too many. They would reproduce on their own, and since she had a large amount of processed meat products, her demand for them wasn't that high.

As for the chickens and ducks, Jiang Zhi has already slaughtered a batch.

The harvest of chicken eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs was fantastic; she harvested five full boxes of chicken eggs alone.

If it weren't for the space to keep them fresh, most eggs would spoil because they couldn't be finished.

The overwintered wheat has already sprouted ears, and she will be able to harvest her first batch of wheat soon.

After dinner, Wanfu ate some fruit radishes while Jiang Zhi tidied up the bedroom, including placing a stove inside so it wouldn't be cold at night.

Jiang Zhi prefers sleeping outside to sleeping inside the space, even when it's freezing cold outside.

Since the properties of the space are unknown, Jiang Zhi fears that when she wakes up, she will be trapped in the space forever and unable to get out.

Install insulation material on the bedroom walls, lay a layer on the floor, and then cover it with a carpet.

After finishing, Jiang Zhi went downstairs and put the electric fence that she had previously put away back on the wall.

There's still some time before the massive undersea earthquake, so she'll stay in the villa for now. After the earthquake, depending on the situation, if the villa collapses, she'll move the smaller, single-story villa out of the villa and place it in a safe location.

That evening, Jiang Zhi sat cross-legged on the bed to cultivate.

After swallowing the last Snow Spirit Fruit, Jiang Zhi's spiritual power surged, as if something was about to burst forth from the ground.

I felt my meridians vibrating all over my body, and my upper, middle, and lower dantian all felt swollen.

Jiang Zhi silently gritted her teeth. She had always been self-taught in her cultivation, without any teacher's guidance, and she had no idea what the current situation was.

Is he going berserk and about to explode?

Who cares? If I'm dead, I'm dead. It's not like I've never died before.

Jiang Zhi forcibly mobilized the spiritual energy from her three dantians to circulate in her meridians, preventing her dantians from swelling too much.

Furthermore, where did he acquire those skills?

It's all her spiritual power! Now that her spiritual power has increased, her skills should also improve. The "Immortal's Guidance" skill is the weakest; it can't even pierce the hide of a mutated giant python.

No, I must find the connection between skills and the spiritual energy within my body.

Jiang Zhi tried to communicate within her consciousness, trying to build a circulating tributary between her skills and the spiritual energy in her dantian.

Suddenly, Jiang Zhi felt a sharp pain that pierced her soul from her arm. The place that hurt was the same spot where she had been scratched when she jumped into the ice hole.

Good heavens, Jiang Zhi woke up from her internal energy circulation in an instant.

He curled up on the bed, clutching his arm.

"Mom! What's wrong?" Wanfu, who was watching TV, suddenly sensed something was wrong.

"Meow?"

Jiang Zhi broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, her voice hoarse: "I'm fine."

"Hiss~"

"It hurts a little."

"Meow Meow will blow on it for you." Wanfu nudged Jiang Zhi's hair, and Jiang Zhi, who was in so much pain that she was dazed, could feel a faint breeze gently caressing her.
