Chapter 147: 145 He cannot give up the garrison at City A

How exactly Chen Lu settled that matter, no one knew.

But considering the significant and adverse impact of the incident, and Chen Lu’s record remained clean, everyone knew there was a problem.

Yang Honglin conveyed the words of the old police to Gong Yi.

Gong Yi responded with a "hmm," hung up on Yang Honglin, and then called Hua Mi.

"Haven’t you run away again? I told you to stay put, why can’t you just sit still?"

After listening to Yang Honglin, Gong Yi wasn’t worried about other things, just worried that a certain monkey would keep wandering about and get targeted by the Chen Family.

Hua Mi was on her way to the Observation Tower in Xiang City, with a cheeky smile on her face,

"If I sat still, wouldn’t that give you more trouble, boss?"

She joked all the way until she reached the base of the Observation Tower and said to Gong Yi on the phone,

"I have an idea, let’s collaborate. Give me a piece of land under the Observation Tower in Xiang City, I’ll build whatever I want on it."

Hua Mi wanted to establish a Teleportation hub under the Observation Tower in Xiang City.

Just like playing a game, if there were any survivors outside fighting monsters or people and they got tired and didn’t want to walk anymore, they could teleport back to the city.

And Hua Mi could sell tickets.

Hua Mi had recently acquired 9 square meters of Black Land, she could use 1 square meter of it to build the teleportation point just outside the city, making it visually appealing and fantastical.

Then she’d set up some protective constructions around it, and even refresh safety defenses a few times.

Hua Mi had it all planned out. The reason she wanted to collaborate with Gong Yi was because she wanted Gong Yi’s Garrison to protect this Teleportation hub.

Of course, it was such a grand and fantastical endeavor that Hua Mi couldn’t explain clearly to Gong Yi right now.

Because she couldn’t quite explain it herself.

Hua Mi asked Gong Yi,

"Where are you right now? I’ll come to you,"

Since she couldn’t explain, she planned to let Gong Yi experience the magic of teleportation first-hand, so through Gong Yi’s reputation, she could tell everyone that she had a teleporting back-to-town hub.

Gong Yi looked around at the corpses scattered on the ground,

"I’m still on my way to the Weapons Depot in City A."

Actually, there was no need to go anymore, the fact that Chen Hu held the Garrison’s firearms already indicated that the stolen weapons were related to the Chen Family.

It was almost certain that the Chen Family was behind it.

Given that he was leading only a few people, Gong Yi decided not to venture further into City A as provoking the Chen Family was a drain for him.

Weighing the pros and cons, Gong Yi planned to first contact the remaining Garrison in City A.

He couldn’t abandon the Garrison in City A, and if any of them were willing to come with him, he intended to bring them back to Xiang City.

So, after reporting his location to Hua Mi, Gong Yi stopped where he was and instructed the signal officer with him to use the Garrison’s frequency to send a message to City A’s Garrison.

He informed all the Garrison members in City A that he was in Xiang City waiting for them, and if they had lost their Commander, he would be their Commander.

He would lead them to continue forging the human flesh Great Wall, solidifying humanity’s last line of defense.

When the telegram was sent, Gong Yi knew it was very likely to be seen by the Chen Family.

However, his reason for not going to Xiang City, he believed, also applied to the Chen Family—they wouldn’t foolishly rush toward Xiang City with their people.

Almost at the same moment that Gong Yi’s telegram was sent, Chen Hu received its content.

In the dark villa, akin to a castle, lightning streaked across the roof, and Chen Hu’s pudgy body stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass.

Behind him stood the garrison commander.

Since the garrison commander of Xiang City had "settled down" in the Chen Family’s villa, all news regarding the garrison was delivered there.

Chen Hu’s face was marked with horizontal fleshy bands, squeezing his eyes small like mung beans.

He turned around and looked at the commandant of Xiang City, his chunky face forming a florid expression,

"I heard that this Gong Yi is ambitious. He has even driven Yu Guanglin out of Xiang City. Surely if he invites you to Xiang City, he harbors no good intentions."

Liu Shengyuan, who had come to deliver the message to the Garrison Commander of Xiang City, stood straight and did not speak.

Actually, he didn’t understand why he had to hand the telegram to Chen Hu instead of their own Garrison Commander of Xiang City.

Could it really be as Gong Yi had stated in the telegram, that their garrison in Xiang City had already lost their commander?

"You go back first, tell the garrison brothers to stay put in Xiang City. We have no shortage of garrison supplies in Xiang City, and my Chen Family will spare no expense to support the garrison in Xiang City,"

Chen Hu said earnestly, just like the big philanthropist he had been reported to be.

In fact, since the earthquake began, the Chen Family had also donated money and goods to Xiang City, organizing a spell of charitable acts.

It was even reported that Chen Hu personally organized a convoy of rich entrepreneurs to provide disaster relief in Xiang City.

At that time, the media was flooded with news of Chen Hu’s philanthropy, leaving the people of Xiang City with mixed feelings.

Calling Chen Hu a great philanthropist, a businessman with a conscience—that was what outsiders said, but only the locals of Xiang City knew the Chen Family was like a territorial snake there.

Everyone in Xiang City knew not to provoke the Chen Family, for those who did either received a sum of hush money or lost their lives.

Take the simplest example, Third Young Master Chen, Chen Lu.

Chen Lu had caused quite a few girls much grief in Xiang City, to the extent that it was said if he drove down the street and saw anyone attractive, regardless of who they were, their age, or marital status, he’d first pull them into his car.

Of course, there were also innocent girls who couldn’t stand this and either ended up with a substantial sum of hush money or their entire families disappeared.

Disappeared without a trace.

And in these years, the Chen Family had built bridges and roads for Xiang City, cooperatively abiding by the management layer’s regulations with impeccable execution.

So how could the people of Xiang City evaluate the Chen Family? They could only avoid them if possible.

As the earthquake spread to Xiang City and people gradually realized something was amiss as if the earthquake was endless, the city’s supplies suddenly tightened.

No one knew what was happening. Liu Shengyuan also only found out later that, almost completely buried by the management layer, Xiang City’s supply depot had suddenly ended up in the hands of the Chen Family.

Including their Garrison Commander of Xiang City, who also issued orders from the Chen Family’s home, all Xiang City’s garrison units were not to enter the city to participate in the rescue but to fully guard Xiang City’s supply depot.

With no supplies circulating in the market, food and drink seemed to disappear overnight. With the Chen Family clutching Xiang City’s supply depot, the once philanthropic figure didn’t give away even a single grain of rice.

Under these circumstances, the appearance of starving corpses scattered across Xiang City was especially logical and expected.
