Chapter 152: Chapter 149 How Appetizing This Must Be

——————

Of course, what she found best was that the local snacks here tasted so much better!

Or maybe it was because these snack stalls all had a spicy kick to them, a flavor that really whetted her appetite.

She bought six meat buns and vegetable buns, all stuffed with tiny spicy pepper bits. She was not sure if her taste had changed, but one bite left her feeling utterly refreshed.

Munching as she walked, she unknowingly finished all six buns, then looked down at her stomach in disbelief—the buns sold here were as big as two of her fists each, and she had gobbled up all six in one go... How hungry must she have been?

Only afterward did Shanni realize that her own gluttony had startled her.

Although she hadn’t eaten much in nearly two days, was it really okay to binge like this?

Well, she had already eaten them.

Shanni nonchalantly dusted off her hands and kept walking.

In fact, the snowfall in the county town wasn’t as beautiful as one might imagine. The snow piled up on the ground either turned dirty from being trampled on or melted into slippery puddles, devoid of any aesthetic appeal.

The county town wasn’t small, but it wasn’t too large either. The roads outside were mostly rural paths, and with her spiritual power, Shanni had mentally mapped out the town quite accurately while walking through.

She was probably even better at finding her way around than the locals.

After scouting the county town, Shanni detected a black market transaction with her spiritual power. She found a hidden spot, slightly altered her appearance, sold a small lump of gold and acquired about two thousand yuan in big reunion paper money.

As for gold, one corner of her Space was densely packed with it. Whenever she wanted, she could just take out a small piece. Since these were all scraps she had scavenged during the apocalypse, she didn’t bother cleaning them up. She wasn’t particularly fond of gold jewelry; many of the gold bars she had collected early on were compressed to save space in her Space.

Now that she needed to use it, she simply pinched a fist-sized lump out. Shanni exerted some force in the palm of her hand and kneaded it a few times, making it unrecognizable and more sellable with peace of mind.

She made such a ’big’ move right from the start. The shopkeeper gave her several looks, but Shanni kept her face hidden under her hat, and the clothes she was wearing were very trendy for this era. The shopkeeper couldn’t tell who she was, so he didn’t dare make a move, allowing her to bluff her way through easily.

As daylight slowly faded, Shanni could only retrace her steps. Passing by the post office, she took the opportunity to send a telegram home to report her safety.

Of course, the content of her telegram was purely a benign white lie.

Shanni originally thought that the snowfall would last only briefly and that she could finish touring the county town, then set off for the next town tomorrow.

The towns also had inns, but not as high-grade as in the county town. At least the county town had single rooms, whereas the town might only offer dormitory-style accommodation.

But who would have thought the snow would continue all night and all day? Shanni was stranded at the inn for a full day until the road to the next town was cleared of snow on the 17th at noon.

Fearing frequent snowfalls here, she immediately bought a bus ticket and left in the afternoon.

Because the snow was freshly plowed, the roads were very slippery. The vehicles didn’t have anti-skid systems like in the future and moved even slower than tortoises!

Even though Shanni had taken motion sickness medicine, within just one hour, she had vomited three times, even bringing up bile!

Fortunately, aside from feeling uncomfortable in her stomach, she felt no other discomfort. Her body was still in great condition.

After reaching her destination, Zhang Shan Ni gave her own ’Crow’s mouth’ a mental waxing!

Indeed, just as Zhang Shan Ni had thought, the town’s guesthouse truly didn’t have any single rooms.

They were basically all dormitory-style beds, with only two double rooms available, one of which had already been taken. She arrived just in time to encounter the occupant of the other room checking out, so she sat in the living room with her four large parcels, waiting.

If it hadn’t been for Zhang Shan Ni having so much luggage, a military family visitation certificate, and indeed being a military spouse, she wouldn’t have been accommodated to take the double room.

Zhang Shan Ni grumbled to herself: What a dump, even getting a double room requires class distinction...

Finally, she managed to secure the only double room, and Zhang Shan Ni breathed a sigh of relief.

She no longer had the energy to complain about sanitary conditions, as long as she didn’t have to sleep in a dormitory bed, she felt thrilled inside.

Now it was the 18th, coincidentally a Monday, when everyone in all industries was at work.

First, Zhang Shan Ni stopped by the pastry shop next to the guesthouse and grabbed a couple of savory scallion pancakes. It was enough to fill her up a little, because she had to travel to the military base and didn’t know the road conditions. She feared being jostled too harshly and throwing up again, so she dared not eat to her fill.

The journey was fairly smooth, with no direct transport from the town to the military base. Zhang Shan Ni followed the bus attendant’s advice, got off midway, and walked for about twenty minutes. It was difficult trekking through the snow, so she walked slowly to be safe.

Luckily, she had her spiritual power, which helped her discern which pathway would lead to the military base more easily.

As she approached the main entrance of the military base, Zhang Shan Ni prudently stopped in her tracks. The loud bugle calls from afar, the bellowing strength of them stirred the blood and ignited fighting spirit.

Zhang Shan Ni watched the armed soldiers from three hundred meters away, obediently waiting.

It wasn’t that she was too lazy to move closer, but she looked clearly out of place and could only wait to be approached.

If she were a family member living inside the military base, she would have left through another gate, not flaunting her presence at this main entrance.

Sure enough, within five minutes, a soldier quickly jogged over to her.

"Comrade, hello!" The young soldier, who seemed quite young, stopped about ten steps away from Zhang Shan Ni. After standing at attention and saluting, he finally spoke.

"Hello." Zhang Shan Ni nodded with a smile, returning his greeting.

"May I ask what your business is?"

"It’s like this, my husband is a military officer here, and I’ve come to visit. Here’s my family visitation certificate."

Zhang Shan Ni didn’t dawdle, immediately stating her purpose. The military base was close to the mountains, and standing too long in the snow could nearly freeze her feet solid.

"Please wait a moment." The soldier took Zhang Shan Ni’s visitation certificate and turned to run off directly. Zhang Shan Ni didn’t want to freeze herself; she was unsure of how the military base’s procedures worked now. If she had to wait for an hour, it would be foolish to just stand there!

The young soldier didn’t even think to invite her into the guard station to wait!

Zhang Shan Ni had no choice but to find a large tree nearby and shelter on its leeward side, occasionally walking around to keep warm.

Fortunately, the soldier’s "please wait a moment" didn’t take an hour, just about half an hour later, the young soldier returned in a hurry with a middle-aged military officer.
