Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies-Chapter 64 - : Red Wine Bath, Quite Expensive
Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Red Wine Bath, Quite Expensive
Jiang Yan entered the Space a little after two in the afternoon, well past lunchtime.
Perhaps due to the numerous gruesome scenes she had encountered today, she didn’t feel much of an appetite.
Plus, her body was covered in bloodstains, and her right hand’s half-finger combat glove was completely soaked with fresh blood.
Fortunately, her combat uniform, gloves, and mask were all black, so the blood stains on her forehead and fingers were more noticeable, which made her appearance less fierce and terrifying.
Jiang Yan went straight to the bathroom in the Apple Cabin.
Feeling somewhat tired today, she decided to set the water temperature for the massage bathtub and let it fill while she went to change her clothes in the next room.
Her clothes were covered in blood and bits of flesh, so she took them off and habitually threw them into the trash can.
Although the combat uniform was specially functional and expensive, there were plenty in the Space, enough to last her several lifetimes.
And she always felt that wearing blood-stained clothes might bring bad luck.
But she quickly realized that in the current apocalyptic world outside, re-wearing these garments would be much better and safer than wearing brand new ones.
Some cautious people would even deliberately dirty their clothes to make them look older.
With that thought in mind, Jiang Yan quickly turned around, rushed to the trash can, and retrieved the clothes and mask that hadn’t yet been purified by the Space.
She threw all the dirty clothes into the washing machine, added detergent for blood stains and disinfection, and then finally returned to the bathroom.
The massage bathtub custom-made by the Apple Cabin Company for her was porcelain white and smooth as jade, shaped like a romantic heart.
There were four water inlets in total, so it only took a couple of minutes for the tub to nearly fill up.
Jiang Yan sniffed the lingering scent of blood on herself and glanced at the burbling water, feeling like something was missing from the vast three-meter-wide bathtub.
Fresh rose petals?
The roses she had planted in the black soil had started to bud.
But they were only the size of fingertips.
She had plenty of dried rose petals, but they clearly weren’t as good as fresh ones.
A milk bath?
Never mind, much like her lack of appetite, she didn’t feel like smelling the scent of milk either.
A green tea bath would be nice.
West Lake Longjing, Huangshan Maofeng, Lushan Yunwu, Xinyang Maojian, Anji White Tea, Dongting Biluochun, Taiping Houkui, Liuan Melon Seed, Emei Snow Bud—her Space had all of these, and all of the highest quality organic tea with no trace of pesticides.
However, the scent of a tea bath seemed a bit too mild and might better suit hotter climates.
She thought some more.
Her Space had a lot of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs—ginseng, Angelica, mugwort.
There were also many readymade packages for herbal baths to increase blood circulation, relieve fatigue, soothe muscles and beautify skin, refresh the mind—all in all, a variety.
But she didn’t really want to smell those medicinal herbs at the moment.
Jiang Yan pondered for a few seconds, a sudden idea striking her.
Although it was sunny in the Space, it was actually pouring rain outside, and the air was damp and cold.
In such weather, a fragrant red wine bath would be perfect.
Scientifically, the high temperature of hot water expands the body’s pores, and the red wine can quickly penetrate the skin, stimulating the capillaries to aid in smooth blood circulation. The polyphenols in the grapes also have antioxidant effects and help promote blood circulation.
Additionally, after soaking in red wine, a substance known as “wine ester” is released in the body.
This wine ester can inhibit the excitement of the nervous system, helping to alleviate anxiety and stress and uplifting the mood.
binggo, this was it!
Jiang Yan, with a thought, estimated the amount of water in the bathtub and retrieved three bottles of ordinary red wine with a fruity fragrance from the Inventory Area.
Even though called ordinary, these were all officially designated wines bought from the White Horse Vineyard in Hexagonal Country.
Far superior to regular dining wines, each bottle was over eight thousand RMB.
Three bottles cost twenty-four thousand—it couldn’t be soaked in for too long.
All calculated, that was two thousand two per minute.
This bath was a bit expensive.
But for her, it wasn’t considered much.
She used an electric wine opener, then holding a bottle, poured it with a “glug glug” into the bathtub.
The water in the bathtub quickly turned a clear, pale red, and the bathroom filled with a white mist carrying the scent of floral and fruity wines.
After washing the remaining blood stains from her face and hands, Jiang Yan lay down in the tub, closed her eyes, and let the warm, powerful jets of water massage her body.
Under the dual effects of the Space and the red wine bath, she soon felt her prior exhaustion and despondence vanish.
A red wine bath shouldn’t be too long, and after about twenty minutes, her face covered in beads of sweat, she got up.
After taking another shower, she slowly returned to the living room in her white bathrobe.
Just as she sat down on the couch, she noticed a gentle, warm sensation emanating from the palm of her hand.
She had felt this sensation before but hadn’t paid much attention due to soaking in the bath where it wasn’t very noticeable.
But now, it felt like something small in her palm was attempting to emerge.
The last time she had felt this was just after she had been reborn, when she triggered her first life-saving skill, “Vine. Cannibal Flower.”
Unfortunately, after the Cannibal Flower had helped her kill Song Deming and Zhang Kai, it had completely withered.
She had tried many ways to revive it without success.
Moreover, the instructions had clearly stated the Cannibal Flower could be used once a month, but it had felt like a one-time use function.
This was the reason she had always thought not to rely entirely on the Space.
She also feared that her invincible Space would disappear just like the Cannibal Flower.
Later, she got busy hoarding supplies and running around the world, and she had almost forgotten that she had this life-saving skill.
But now, the sensation had reappeared.
Could it be that the Cannibal Flower was about to revive?
Or was it because she had gotten fresh blood on her hand today that had awakened it?
Among all her previous attempts to revive it, she indeed hadn’t tried using fresh blood.
Jiang Yan gently rubbed her thumb over her palm, feeling a bit excited.

Outside, the battle on the 32nd floor had ended.
Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing, along with the surviving residents, began cleaning up the battleground.
By cleaning up, this mainly meant removing the corpses and severed limbs from the hallways.
As for the blood-stained weapons, everyone took one.
It was disgusting, but self-defense was crucial.
Additionally, there were too many bodies and limbs; tossing them all out of the window into the water below wasn’t feasible.
Even though this would be the simplest method.
But now, the water around the building, besides continuously rising, was like stagnant, non-flowing dead water.
Throwing the bodies in would soon fill the view with bloated, whitened, rotting corpses.
That was more unbearable than the trash itself.
