Chapter 8 The Role of Food

Nan Jing told Jessica about herself while eating.

In fact, there is nothing to hide. The fact that Nan Jing came over is something that everyone knows.

"It turned out to be like this. It's better not to tell others about this matter as much as possible. I will tell Julian and Katerina."

Nan Jing said: "I think this is correct. If others know that I have this ability, it will not be good for the base. At that time, many people will force me to do something for food."

After hearing this, Jessica said, "There is indeed a reason for this, but the most important thing is to improve our strength first."

"With all due respect, were these foods very valuable in your era?"

Jessica looked at the ham sausage in her hand. She had already tasted it and made a rough judgment.

Nan Jing smiled and said, "It's okay. With my financial resources, it's okay to support the people in our base for a month."

The daily food consumption of 37 people is not something that an ordinary unemployed college student can afford.

However, Nanjing still has rent to pay. The extra income of more than 4000 a month, plus finding a job, should be able to support a family.

Jessica looked at the rice and food brought by Nan Jing and said: "Don't touch these foods for now. Our current food is enough to eat, and the food you brought from that era without pollution, for us, Medicines are more important than food."

Nan Jing asked suspiciously: "What do you mean? Jessica, you mean, these foods can be used as medicine?"

Jessica nodded solemnly, "That's right."

"This is the Coke you gave us to drink before. People in our era have gradually mutated since hundreds of years ago. In fact, our bodies are different from yours."

"In order to adapt to the environment and because of the harsh living conditions around us, we don't give children time to grow and learn. As you can see, we don't have children here."

Nan Jing asked: "Then how... were you born? Are you all clones?"

Jessica said: "Clones are only a part. Most of them are new humans bred through synthetic genes. New humans in different regions will be born with some special abilities according to the dangerous characteristics around them."

"The monsters in our 13th district are very common, so most people have no common characteristics. In some places, in order to strengthen the sense of hearing and smell, the organs of beasts will grow."

"At the center of District 13 is a metropolis, which is the strongest base in District 13. Survivors in the vicinity are scattered from there, and they will regularly buy and hire new people from there."

Nan Jing asked: "Are there many men in this world?"

Jessica replied, "Not much, and usually not alone."

Nan Jing asked again: "There seems to be a man among the zombies outside. These zombies can't be zombies from decades ago, right?"

I wanted to ask this question before, and the first few zombies I encountered seemed to be men.

Jessica said: "Zombies are dead humans controlled by viruses, looking for new breeding nests, and the targets are living humans."

"There are men and women who become zombies. The male zombies you saw were created by an evil religious organization. This religion stole the cloning technology from the metropolis, and synthesized the genes of men."

"However, these synthetic humans lack intelligence, and are mainly used as tools, and once a long time, they will become uncontrollable and become zombies that bite anyone."

"Here in District 13, the main dangers are mutant beasts and humans, and the threat of zombies is not that great."

Nan Jing asked: "Are there many bad guys nearby? And that metropolis, won't the people there come out to maintain order?"

Jessica shook her head, "The metropolis doesn't care about this. The rules of our era are to survive. Everything is sinless, including robbery and attacking other people's bases."

"The metropolis will not avenge people, nor maintain order. Every tenth full moon, people from the metropolis will come out to hunt and destroy at will, cleaning and looting the surrounding bases."

"The last time was about a month ago. At present, our main concern here is the attack by other people."

Nan Jing has a general understanding of the current situation. This is an irregular area. Although they don't have any obvious enemies now, they must always be on guard against outside attacks.

In short, if you want to gain a foothold in this world, you must have strength!

"What's the matter with the medicine?" Nan Jing asked this key question.

Jessica explained: "Our body can quickly replenish energy to restore itself. For example, some wounds, broken bones, or some minor injuries can be quickly recovered through energy potions."

"The main ingredients of the energy potion are clean materials that have not been polluted, such as the drinking water you gave us, Master, and this meat column called ham sausage in my hand."

"But it's not just us, the mutant beasts outside can also recover from physical injuries by eating. Some powerful monsters will be many times more dangerous if they have servants around them."

Nan Jing thought about Jessica's words, and asked, "The ham sausage is relatively airtight, but the potatoes and rice may not last long, and I've already confirmed that I can bring a lot of these."

"Let everyone in the base eat ham sausage, so that those with injuries can quickly recover from their injuries after eating ham sausage. This can be regarded as improving the strength of our base!"

Nanjing needs to make more maids, and better understand the relationship with the women here at a deeper level.

And at this moment, in this ruined world full of dangers, it would be good for myself and everyone else to be able to increase my strength and trust.

Jessica said happily: "Yes, I will inform everyone right away!"

Nan Jing stood up and said, "No, just share these ham sausages with everyone. I'm full and want to sleep. I'll go back and get something."

Nan Jing's body is also absorbing energy, and because her body is recovering, she is slightly tired at this time.

Jessica said solemnly: "Yes! Master, please rest well!"

After Jessica left with ham sausage, potatoes and rice, Nan Jing lay on the bed and fell asleep peacefully.

***
When I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn.

Nan Jing sat up slowly, feeling that her body was still very tired.

"I was busy opening the store for a whole day, and I stayed up late last night before going to bed. I am really exhausted."

Nan Jing stood up and picked up the camera fixed to the side, and began to check the footage when the supplies disappeared.

The picture was very clear. Nan Jing's body did not disappear, but the surrounding things slowly disappeared.

The process is within three seconds. If this matter is seen by others, it will be difficult to explain it quickly.

"I can't let people come into my bedroom in the future, I have to lock the door when I sleep, and it's better to install a few cameras at home."

After confirming that her idea was correct, Nan Jing began to think about the next plan.

"Go to sleep first, I'm really tired."

This body was really exhausted, after finally figuring out most of the things, Nan Jing turned off the light and fell asleep again.

 The system of mountains and rivers needs to be revised because of political relations, and it should be available in a day or two.
