Chapter 115: 113 fundamentally does not allow them the chance to leave

Fang Yuqi looked at Hua Mi with a surprised expression,

"Sister Hua, actually there’s no need to go through such trouble. We understand that resources are really tight right now; we can tighten our belts and skip meals. Just giving us one meal a day would be enough."

Fang Yuqi understood the current situation better than anyone.

After all, the Xiang City Garrison had also experienced times of hunger and sleeplessness: a single biscuit could last a day, and one loaf of bread could feed an entire squad, with each person taking just one bite, afraid that taking more would mean others went without.

Having been through such difficulties, and now looking at the oranges in the B City supply depot, each one shiny and juicy as if just plucked from the tree.

If they could get just two oranges per person per day, they would ask for nothing more.

Therefore, let’s leave the three meals a day for those who need them.

Hua Mi waved her hand,

"No matter how tough it gets, we can’t let you all suffer. Don’t worry, leave this matter to me. I am in charge of the resource procurement for Commander Gong’s team; I’ll make sure you have enough to eat and keep warm."

Now that she had said so, Fang Yuqi didn’t know what else to say.

He only hoped that Commander Gong would be aware of what Sister Hua was doing and that it wouldn’t disrupt the commander’s plans.

At this time, Fang Yuqi did not yet fully grasp what Hua Mi had said.

He simply followed orders.

Truckload after truckload of oranges were sent out from the supply depot, distributed to Xiang City and B City, and sold to the survivors.

It was said that the sales were very good; everyone was eating oranges, and everyone could afford them.

Soon, the cooking team responsible for the garrison’s meals arrived, dragging big pots of food and vegetables.

Following behind the cooking team were Tang You and Cao Feng.

They had been ordered to come and help Sister Hua, but upon arrival, they were pulled aside by Chi Chuan to help count oranges for the B City Garrison.

Hua Mi shuffled and rearranged tirelessly, and apart from the few rows of supplies at the entrance of the depot, she moved all the resources into Storage Level 13.

Then, this B City supply depot was filled entirely with oranges.

Chi Chuan’s friends brought out the oranges with large carts, distributing them to the B City Garrison soldiers stationed outside the depot.

One hundred each.

Standing in front of piles of oranges, with meals piled up in their hands, the B City Garrison soldiers pondered...

Were they really giving each person one hundred Welfare Oranges?

But their stomachs were already full, even a bit bloated.

A garrison member approached Fang Yuqi,

"Captain, we can’t finish so many oranges in one day; will they really give us another hundred tomorrow?"

Fang Yuqi looked panicky towards Tang You,

"Brother, can we refuse this benefit? Right, we’d burst before we could eat so many oranges."

Tang You, familiar with the process, pulled out a document,

"Don’t worry, there’s already a procedure for this in Xiang City. This is a document for entrusting the sale of Welfare Oranges. See if anyone wants to entrust their Welfare Oranges to be sold on their behalf, and they can sign this document."

Everything had to follow procedures—after all, this was a team of over 5,000 people. Giving each garrison member one hundred Welfare Oranges a day was essentially a way to provide them with spending money.

Fang Yuqi took the pen and decisively signed the document, then passed it to the next B City Garrison brother.

He mused,

"The Commander of Xiang City really has the ability. We... sigh..."

Thinking of the B City garrison commander who had committed suicide by swallowing his gun, Fang Yuqi could only sigh endlessly.

When disaster struck, everyone was unprepared, including the garrison.

But, without comparison, there would be no hurt, the B City garrison was starving to death while the Xiang City Garrison was so rich that they were all covertly reaping welfare.

Sometimes he didn’t want to blame others, but when his brothers died one by one, Fang Yuqi would fantasize, if their commander hadn’t committed suicide by swallowing his gun, would he have tried everything to bring them material support?

Would he have stood up to the management system to save a few of his brothers?

Tang You patted Fang Yuqi on the shoulder,

"We’re family now. What we have in the Xiang City Garrison, you’ll definitely have in B City Garrison, and life will get more and more secure."

At the entrance to the supply depot, Chi Chuan was squatting down having a meal with his friends.

One friend, curious, asked Chi Chuan in secret,

"Why does our Xiang City have so many oranges, and B City too, with this B City supply depot full of oranges?"

Chi Chuan paused in thought and said to his friend,

"Before the earthquake hit the world, there must have been an ’orange calamity,’ so the management in B City had no choice but to hoard oranges crazily."

This was the only explanation that made sense of why an entire supply depot in B City was filled with oranges.

Chi Chuan took another couple of bites of his rice and then said to his friends,

"Don’t think too much about it. When the sky falls, there’s always a tall one to hold it up, we just need to help Sister Hua sell the oranges, that’s all."

How many trips it would take to transport out the great full depot of oranges was anyone’s guess.

And after Hua Mi had replaced everything in this supply depot with oranges, she sent a message to Gong Yi, preparing to return to Xiang City.

Eighth Uncle suddenly burst into the supply depot and shouted to Hua Mi, who was sitting on a rocking chair by the door checking her phone:

"It’s bad, Miss Hua, the mountains on both sides of the supply depot are collapsing."

Before he even finished speaking, Chi Chuan and the other friends came rolling in, followed by Cao Feng, Tang You, and others from the garrison.

"Sister Hua, we must hurry, or else everyone will be buried in the mudslide."

Cao Feng spoke with urgency. They had long known the mountain here was unstable.

But for the mountains on both sides of the supply depot to collapse at the same time was just too unlucky.

Hua Mi stood up from her rocking chair unhurriedly.

"It’s alright, I’ll go have a look. You all go do what you need to."

As she was about to walk outside, Tang You stopped her.

He stood firmly and said,

"Sister Hua, we promised Commander Gong we’d protect you well, let’s hurry..."

There was still time to escape. The mountains on either side were shifting, but they wouldn’t fall immediately.

But Cao Feng hadn’t finished speaking when everyone felt the ground beneath them start to shake, and behind Tang You and Cao Feng, mud, trees, and underbrush came tumbling down.

Two mudslides plus an earthquake simply didn’t give them a chance to leave.

Hua Mi hastily shouted at Cao Feng and Tang You,

"Quickly, call all the garrison inside."

Fang Yuqi blew the gathering whistle, and hundreds of garrison members emerged from different directions, all rushing toward the supply depot.

When the last garrison member entered the supply depot, Cao Feng and Tang You both pushed hard to close the heavy iron door.

Before it was sealed tight, mud had already seeped through the cracks, like some kind of monster extending its tentacles, gradually prying open the heavy iron door.
