Chapter 8: Chrono Gifts

To be honest, Chen Ji is still looking forward to it.

In the apocalyptic world, gold, silver and jewelry are useless at all, Zhou Wan just gives him something, Chen Ji can get rich overnight, and it is easier to raise her.

"Alright, you can try to give me something!"

Chen Ji found a remote place in a nearby park and sent a message to Zhou Wan.

Although there are uncles and aunts in the park who are exercising in the morning, as long as the movement is not too big, even if they see something suddenly appear, they will only be surprised, suspecting that they are dazzled.

"Hmm."

Zhou Wan was already ready, and after the message was sent, she clicked the button in the phone.

A faint light emanated from her hands.

"It's ...... The passage of the two realms? Whatever I touch, I can give it to Chen Ji? ”

Zhou Wan was surprised in her heart, but she was able to come back to her senses in time and held her Pakdali watch with both hands.

Inside her phone, a confirmation box popped up:

[Do you give the watch to Chen Ji? ] 】

Zhou Wan clicked yes.

In her hands, the Paddleri watch slowly vanished.

Subsequently.

Chen Ji saw a message swiped out by the system in the chat interface with her:

[Your blind date Zhou Wan gave you a watch, please pick it up as soon as possible, after the time is exceeded, the watch will be permanently lost]

The information is followed by an extract button.

Chen Ji clicked, and a delicate and elegant Bastari women's watch suddenly appeared on his left wrist.

And it's still in a good state.

"It's beautiful!"

Chen Ji was excited for a while, and touched the watch that was said to be worth tens of millions with his hand.

Patek Philippe, not Patek Philippe.

In other words, this watch is a unique luxury in the world - the workmanship is luxury, but the brand is a "copycat".

"Did you get it?"

"Of course, I received it!"

Chen Ji sent her a message with a smile: "I have now seen what a watch of the tens of millions of dollars looks like, not bad, I will be satisfied at a glance, and I will return it to you." ”

"Huh?"

Bakari once again returned to Zhou Wan's side with a gift.

"Don't you want it?"

Zhou Wan was a little lost.

She has always been the one who received Chen Ji's gifts, and now she gives him the most precious thing around him, but he doesn't want it.

"This watch is mechanical, right? You can use it to see the time, you don't have the sun there yet, and you need it even more. ”

"If you find any gold and silver jewelry in the future, you will give it to me, the watch is just a test, and it is a successful test!"

Chen Ji persuaded her.

Zhou Wan put the watch back on, and her ruddy face was full of smiles: "Okay, I'll go upstairs to look for it later, I remember that I have a lot of antiques and jewelry at home, and they shouldn't have been frozen." ”

After the apocalypse, Xiangshan Villa also suffered several rounds of looting, but it was all after the security guards escaped, and no one wanted antique calligraphy and paintings and jewelry at that time.

Chen Ji readily agreed, reminding her to pay attention to safety when looking for her.

Zhou Wan sent him a smiley face.

She's spent many days in the apocalypse, so how could she not know to be safe?

But she likes the feeling of someone genuinely caring about her.

Chen Ji is looking forward to a gift from a parallel world.

After communicating with her again, after learning about the process of her gift-giving, Chen Ji fell into thought:

"I'm going to disappear as soon as I go, and you're slowly disappearing there?"

"Well, it was pretty fast."

Zhou Wan said again: "I couldn't send you anything last night, but I can do it early this morning, it's good...... Chen Ji, maybe we'll be able to meet soon. ”

She was a little expectant and a little nervous, and couldn't help but touch her fair cheeks with her hand.

If you don't take a shower for so many days, will it be dirty?

"Looking forward to meeting Zhou Da Beauty."

Chen Ji smiled, and couldn't help but think of Xia Shumin and Astana in his heart.

Is it because of the connection with them, so his plug-in has become stronger?

There is not much difference between an image and a text, except that a picture requires a greater amount of information.

But being able to give things to each other across time and space is a qualitative leap.

In the next step, life may also be able to travel through the world.

Chen Ji had the heart to go to the vegetable market to buy a live fish to test, but the time for work was approaching, and he had to speed up his pace to the subway entrance.

……

Work?

This word is a little unfamiliar to Zhou Wan.

She curled up in the quilt and looked at the sentences sent to her by Chen Ji on her phone.

After a few moments, she lifted the quilt, got up and put on her thick coat, snowshoes, and hood, and covered her face with a towel, covering her mouth and nose, revealing only a pair of clear eyes.

She stood on the cold ground, jumped on the spot, moved her muscles, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, her breath condensed into ice mist in the air.

Today's earth is too cold, the temperature has dropped to minus 30 degrees, and in addition to mutated animals and plants, old creatures are extinct in large numbers.

"Chen Ji can't be allowed to spend his own money all the time."

"I'm going to give him something useful to sell and improve his financial situation."

Zhou Wan's eyes were firm, she took out her gloves from the quilt, put them on, and then picked up the fire axe leaning against the door, which was freezing hard, opened the basement door, and walked out in the colder outside.

Before leaving, she didn't forget to close the door, and then followed the stairs and groped her way up.

Zhou Wan, who was heavily armed, walked very slowly.

One is to prevent the ground from being too slippery and causing falls, and the other is to listen carefully to the movements around you.

Mutated animals and plants have been around for two months, they are not too strong, but they can easily live in a dark and cold world, and they have all kinds of abilities that make humans very troubled and envious.

So far, Zhou Wan has not heard the exact news that a human has mutated and gained extraordinary abilities.

Zhou Wan didn't use the flashlight that Chen Ji gave her.

Didn't even turn on the phone light all the time, only turned it on when needed.

In the darkness, she carried a fire axe, listened carefully to her surroundings, and slowly groped her way forward like a blind person.

Mutated organisms are most sensitive to two things:

Light and heat.

The laws of the Dark Forest are vividly enacted after the sun goes out, but anything that glows or heats up will attract strong peeps from other humans or mutated creatures.

"Compared to the last time I went out, this time my physical strength is much better."

"My mental state has also improved."

"It's the change that Chen Ji has brought to me."

From the ground floor to the living room on the first floor, Zhou Wan once again faced the increasingly cold ice and snow world outside, comparing this time with the difference from the last time.

The windows in the living room of her villa had already been smashed, the mahogany door and sofa had been burned down, and the living room was full of messes.

However, Zhou Wan didn't care, and she didn't even think about the situation in the past.

She stood calmly in place, listened to the darkness outside, and after confirming that there was no sound, turned on the light of her mobile phone, illuminated the position of the stairs, and immediately turned it off, and continued to grope up.

When the sun goes out, the world goes dark.

But Zhou Wan was used to such darkness, and slowly walked up with a fire axe.

Coming to the second floor and standing on the stairs, she deliberately made some small noises to alarm the mutated creatures that might exist on the second and third floors.

After confirming that there were no mutated creatures, Zhou Wan breathed a sigh of relief and used her mobile phone to illuminate the surroundings again.

Her villa is very large, covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters, when her parents bought it, they spent 50 million, four months ago, it was the top rich area in Haidu, a villa of 200 million or 300 million.

After the apocalypse, the security guards of the community lasted a week before breaking down and fleeing, and at that time no one cared about the valuable gadgets and took some jewelry with them.

The large antiques are still there.

Zhou Wan soon found a piece of Tang Dynasty porcelain in her father's study, which was not broken, and was kicked into a corner, and the looters took only books and wooden desks as fuel.

Her father's collection of celebrity calligraphy and paintings, of course, was all taken away and turned to ashes.

Then, Zhou Wan found some jewelry hidden by her mother at the beginning of the apocalypse on the third floor.

She didn't keep any of them, she brought them all with her, and was going to send them to Chen Ji to sell.

"Wanwan, you must live, live to wait until the day the sun rises!"

Maybe it was because of the sight of these old things that her mother's words came to her mind again.

Zhou Wan quickly shook her head, shook off these thoughts that made her mood fluctuate, took everything with her, and groped her way downstairs.

This time, she walked quickly and was in a much lighter mood, these things should be able to sell for tens of thousands of yuan in Chen Ji's world.

Back on the first floor, Zhou Wan originally wanted to continue down the stairs, but her habitual vigilance made her instinctively stop and listen carefully to the movements around her.

There still seems to be no sound.

But the next moment.

Click, click.

Something is walking slowly.

Zhou Wan held her breath, and in the darkness, that disturbing voice was still coming.

She didn't hesitate any longer, picked up the flashlight in her pocket, and turned it on sharply in the direction of the sound.

A large, grayish-white mutant cat appeared in her field of vision.

Zhou Wan's pupils contracted suddenly.

Illuminated by the strong light, the mutant cat let out a sharp and strange scream, its half-meter-long body jumped backwards in place, its hair stood up, and its blood-red vertical pupils stared at the light source in Zhou Wan's hand.

"Run!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Wan turned around and fled towards the basement, she turned on the flashlight to illuminate the staircase path, quickly returned to her basement, and closed the iron door tightly.

Squeak squeak!

In the next second, the mutant cat chased after it, scratching its paw on the iron door, making a piercing sound.

Zhou Wan leaned against the door, turned off the flashlight, and tried to stop her breathing.

It was a long time before the mutant cat gave up attacking the Iron Gate.

It became quiet outside the door.
