Chapter 8 Time and Space Gift

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

  In the doomsday world, gold, silver and jewels are useless at all. If Zhou Wan gives him anything, Chen Ji will become rich overnight, and it will be easier to raise her.

   "Okay, try giving me something as a gift!"

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

  Although there are grandparents doing morning exercises in the park, as long as there is not too much movement, they will only be surprised when they see something suddenly appearing, and suspect that they are delusional.

"Um."

   Zhou Wan was already ready, and after sending the message, she clicked the button on the phone.

  A faint light radiated from her hands.

   "This is... the passage between the two worlds? Whatever I touch, can I give it to Chen Ji?"

  Zhou Wan was extremely surprised, but she was able to recover in time, holding her own Patekray watch with both hands.

  In her mobile phone, a confirmation box pops up:

  【Do you want to present the watch to Chen Ji? 】

   Zhou Wan clicked yes.

  In her hand, the Patek Philippe watch slowly disappeared.

   Then.

  Chen Ji saw a message from the system in the chat interface with her:

  【Your blind date Zhou Wan gave you a watch as a gift, please get it as soon as possible. After the time expires, the watch will be permanently lost】

   The information is followed by an extract button.

  Chen Ji clicked, and a delicate and elegant Patek Philippe ladies watch suddenly appeared on his left wrist.

   And it is still in good condition.

"it's beautiful!"

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

  Patek Li, not Patek Philippe.

   That is to say, this watch is a unique luxury in the world—the workmanship is luxury, but the brand is a “cottage”.

"Received yet?"

   "Of course I got it!"

  Chen Ji sent her a message with a smile: "Now I have seen what a tens of millions of watches look like. It's not bad. I'm satisfied with just one glance. I'll return it to you."

"ah?"

  Baidali returned to Zhou Wan's side again in the form of a gift.

   "Don't you want it?"

  Zhou Wan was a little disappointed.

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

   "Is this watch a mechanical watch? You can use it to tell the time. You don't have the sun there yet, so you need it even more."

   "Give me any gold, silver and jewelry you find in the future. The watch is just a test, a very successful test!"

  Chen Ji convinced her.

  Zhou Wan put the watch back on again, with a smile on her rosy face: "Okay, I'll go upstairs to look for it later. I remember that there are a lot of antiques and jewelry in my house, which should not have been damaged by the frost."

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

  Chen Ji readily agreed, reminding her to be careful when looking for it.

   Zhou Wan sent him a smiley emoji.

  She has spent many days in the doomsday, how could she not know to be safe?

   But she likes the feeling that someone genuinely cares about her.

  Chen Ji was looking forward to the gift from the parallel world.

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

   "My side disappears with a swipe, but yours disappears slowly?"

   "Well, it appeared very quickly."

   Zhou Wan said again: "I couldn't give you anything last night, but I can do it this morning. That's great...Chen Ji, maybe we can meet soon."

  She was a little expectant, but also a little nervous, and couldn't help touching her fair cheeks with her hands.

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

   "Looking forward to meeting Miss Zhou."

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

   Is it because of contacting them that his cheating became stronger?

   There is not much difference between pictures and text, but pictures require more 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 travel through the world.

  Chen Ji intends to go to the vegetable market to buy a live fish to test, but the working time is approaching, so he has to hurry to the subway entrance.

  …

work?

   This word is a little strange to Zhou Wan.

  She curled up under the quilt, looking at a sentence Chen Ji sent her on the phone.

   After a while, she lifted the quilt, got up and put on her thick coat, snow shoes, and a 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 in place, stretched her muscles and bones, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, the breath condensed into ice mist in the air.

  The earth today is too cold, the temperature has dropped to minus 30 degrees, except for the mutant animals and plants, the 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."

  With firm eyes, Zhou Wan took out her gloves from under the quilt, put them on, and then picked up the fire ax that was leaning against the door, which was frozen hard, opened the basement door, and walked out against the colder air outside.

  Before leaving, she still didn't forget to close the door, and then walked up the stairs gropingly.

   Zhou Wan, who was fully armed, walked slowly.

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

  Mutated animals and plants have appeared for two months. They are not too strong, but they can easily live in the dark and cold world. The various abilities they possess make human beings very headache and envious.

   So far, Zhou Wan has not heard the definite news that humans have mutated and acquired extraordinary abilities.

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

   Didn’t even keep the phone light on all the time, only when needed.

  In the darkness, she held a fire ax and listened carefully to her surroundings. Like a blind person, she slowly groped forward.

   Mutated creatures are most sensitive to two things:

   Light and heat.

  The law of the dark forest is fully interpreted after the sun is extinguished, but anything that glows or heats up will cause strong peeps from other humans or mutated creatures.

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

   "The mental state has also improved."

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

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

  The windows of the living room of her villa were smashed, the mahogany door and the sofa were all burned down, and the living room was full of mess.

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

  She stood calmly on the spot, listening to the darkness outside, and after confirming that there was no sound, she turned on the light of her mobile phone, took a look at the location of the stairs, turned it off immediately, and continued to **** up.

  After the sun goes out, the world is dark.

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

  Going to the second floor, standing on the stairs, she deliberately made some small noises to alert the mutant 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 surrounding area again.

  Her villa is very large, covering an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters. Her parents spent 50 million when they bought it. Four months ago, this was the top rich area in Haidu City, and a villa cost 200 to 300 million.

  After the apocalypse, the community security persisted for a week before breaking down and fleeing. At that time, no one cared about valuable things, and at most took away some jewelry.

  The large antiques are still there.

  Zhou Wan quickly found a piece of porcelain from the Tang Dynasty in her father's study room.

  Her father collected celebrity calligraphy and paintings, of course, all of them were taken away and turned into ashes long ago.

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

  She didn't keep any of them, she took all of them and prepared to send them to Chen Ji to sell.

   "Wanwan, you have to live, and only by living can you wait until the day when the sun rises!"

  Maybe seeing these old things, her mother's words came to her mind again.

  Zhou Wan quickly shook her head, throwing away the thoughts that made her mood fluctuate, took all her things, and groped downstairs.

   This time she walked quickly, feeling a lot more relaxed. These things should sell for tens of thousands of dollars in Chen Ji's world.

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

   Still seems to have no sound.

  The next moment is available.

   Click, click.

  Something is walking slowly.

   Zhou Wan held her breath, the disturbing voice was still coming from the darkness.

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

  A huge, off-white mutant cat appeared in her field of vision.

   Zhou Wan's pupils suddenly shrank.

  Being illuminated by the strong light, the mutated cat let out a sharp and strange cry. Its half-meter-long body jumped back on the spot, its hair stood on end, and its blood-red vertical pupils stared at the light source in Zhou Wan's hand.

   "Escape!"

  Zhou Wan didn't hesitate at all, turned around and fled towards the basement. She turned on the flashlight to illuminate the stairs, and quickly returned to her basement, closing the iron door tightly.

   Chirp chirp!

  The next second, the mutated cat caught up and scratched the iron door with one paw, making a piercing sound.

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

   After a long time, the mutant cat gave up attacking the iron gate.

   It became quiet outside the door.
