Chapter 114: 112 is still better than having nothing to eat at all

"The B City’s materials warehouse is 10 times bigger than that of Xiang City."

Gong Yi explained as he walked ahead and then turned back, looking at Hua Mi and Chi Chuan with their inexperienced expressions. He said,

"Now these materials are in my hands. Next, I need someone to assist me in transporting them away."

He needed to transport these materials to Xiang City and B City.

But Gong Yi didn’t have enough manpower to transport such a huge warehouse of materials in a short time.

Especially at a time like this, the number of Xiang City Garrison was less than four thousand, with the majority being used to maintain the order and management of Xiang City.

The B City Garrison that could be used was just a few hundred in number.

After returning to Xiang City, he still had a tough battle to fight with Yu Guanglin.

He had no time to take care of these materials.

During the conversation, Gong Yi’s gaze fell on Hua Mi.

Obviously, he intended to entrust this task to Hua Mi.

No matter how she managed to do it, in reality, large quantities of materials passed through her hands daily, and she handled them with ease.

Hua Mi forced a smile at Gong Yi, feeling apprehensive inside.

Her... Level 13 storage didn’t have that much space.

If she cleared out some of the materials in her Level 13 storage, she could take away the B City materials warehouse in one go.

But alas, she was also troubled.

Oranges occupied the vast majority of the space in her Level 13 storage, and even with Hua Mi juicing X100000 orange juice every day, she couldn’t keep up with the rapidly increasing number of oranges.

Oranges had an accelerated growth effect of one month, and though it had only been a few days, almost every person in Xiang City and B City had a bag of oranges.

Eating like this, in fact, the people of Xiang City and B City didn’t need to eat or drink anything else.

Just eating oranges was enough to fill them up.

The overproduction of oranges, but the consumption couldn’t keep up.

Where could she find the space to help Gong Yi transport the materials of B City and store them properly?

Gong Yi walked back to Hua Mi and looked at her with a pair of sharp eyes, now very focused, as if coaxing,

"Please, make any request you want."

"Uh..."

Hua Mi looked up awkwardly, facing Gong Yi’s handsome features,

"Can we make it a requirement for each member of your garrison to eat 10000 oranges a day?"

"Pfft!"

Chi Chuan couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

The tenderness on Gong Yi’s face instantly turned ugly, mentioning oranges, he and Hua Mi seemed to have no friendship left,

"Let’s not talk about that. I can transfer Cao Feng and Tang You over to help you."

After saying this, Gong Yi glanced at his multi-functional wristwatch and then instructed Hua Mi,

"I have to rush back to Xiang City. The garrison here will stay behind to protect you and these materials. Call me if there’s any issue."

The remaining food materials in Xiang City had been seized by the garrison, but Yu Guanglin refused to hand over the account password for Xiang City’s reserve funds.

Gong Yi had to return to Xiang City to take control of the situation.

Watching Gong Yi’s retreating figure striding away, Hua Mi stood in the full warehouse of materials and sighed deeply.

"Sister Hua, can’t bear to part with him?"

Chi Chuan teased her,

"Let’s finish up here quickly, and we’ll soon be able to return to Xiang City."

Hua Mi gave Chi Chuan a sidelong glance, she’d already given up on explaining – was it not clear to him that she really had nothing to do with Gong Yi... Well, maybe there had been that one crazy night.

But adults shouldn’t harbor pink, bubbly fantasies about a one-night stand.

Hua Mi had long passed the age of yearning for romantic love. After a one night stand, going their separate ways without disturbing each other was the greatest dignity.

"Do proper work!"

Hua Mi rolled her eyes at Chi Chuan, who had a smile plastered on his face.

Chi Chuan immediately split into a grin, taking out a notebook and a calculator from his hands,

"Alright, proper work it is. Sister Hua, should we start tallying the supplies in Warehouse B?"

It was crucial to know exactly what supplies they had and in what quantities so that they could eat the excess and search for alternative ways to stockpile any that were in short supply.

Chi Chuan was pretty clear on this front.

But Hua Mi shook her head,

"Go find several trucks, we’ll haul a few truckloads of supplies to sell in B City."

"Sell in B City?" Chi Chuan looked surprised, "Sister Hua, are we still talking about making money at this point?"

He wasn’t wrong; the currency in A City had already become worthless, and B City was no different.

Outside of Xiang City, everyone considered money to be as good as paper; as long as you could get supplies, what good was money?

Yet, in Hua Mi’s eyes, this value system still counted for something.

Chi Chuan even had a foggy illusion that the reason why the value system in Xiang City hadn’t collapsed was precisely because here, under Sister Hua’s management, you could still buy supplies with money.

But with so much money rolled up, how could she possibly spend it all?

Hua Mi didn’t explain anything but patted Chi Chuan’s shoulder with a stern look and turned around, walking alone into the depths of Warehouse B.

Commander Gong Yi had left her with inadequate garrison forces; such a huge supplies warehouse couldn’t be inventoried by the few hands she had.

Let alone moving these supplies out of the warehouse.

However, Hua Mi could store the supplies in Level 13 Storage, which would immediately give her the exact type and amount of the resources.

She avoided Chi Chuan and the other garrison members as she stored a large batch of wooden boxes into Level 13 Storage,

[Received Dongting Lake Rice 25kgX50]

[Received Glutinous Rice Shumai X500]

[Received Iodized Edible Salt 320g*50 packets X10000]

After collecting the wooden boxes, she left behind a heap of oranges at the original spot.

When Chi Chuan hurriedly managed to get a few trucks, Hua Mi called the B City Garrison to help load the oranges onto the trucks.

She also summoned Fang Yuqi, the Captain of the B City Garrison, and said,

"I hear Commander Gong has asked you to set up a relief center in B City, right?"

Fang Yuqi, with an earnest face, nodded,

"Yes, Sister Hua!"

He had picked up the way of addressing her from the Xiang City Garrison, and so the B City Garrison followed suit.

"Alright. Now that you’re all Commander Gong’s men, you should have the same benefits as those in the Xiang City Garrison. Let me tell you about some of the welfare benefits the Xiang City Garrison enjoys." Hua Mi sounded very serious as she continued,

"Each member of the Xiang City Garrison gets 100 Welfare Oranges each day. This was specially designated by Commander Gong. The garrison works hard and needs to replenish vitamin C, so from today onwards, you in the B City Garrison will have the same."

"I’ll set up a supply point next to B City’s relief center, where each of you will collect your 100 Welfare Oranges every day."

The more she spoke, the wider Fang Yuqi’s eyes grew in disbelief, soon replaced by sheer ecstasy.

Although they, the B City Garrison, had suffered greatly, losing more than half their number and struggling with hunger while saving people,

could happiness really come this unexpectedly?

A hundred oranges a day, for free?

At that moment, Fang Yuqi was filled with the joy of one who had narrowly escaped calamity, having survived so long in hunger and saving lives like a disintegrating force.

Suddenly, someone was taking charge; even the issues of food and warmth were resolved.

Even if it meant eating oranges, it was infinitely better than nothing.

Hua Mi added with a smile,

"There’s also food provided for three meals a day; these oranges are just an extra benefit."
