Chapter 159: 157 people are in panic, that’s right

From making Fang Huai howl in pain to leaving him barely alive, it hadn’t taken Hu Ming much time or effort at all.

Then, she dragged Fang Huai, who was like a dead dog, and threw him at the feet of the arriving Garrison,

"This man, do not let him enter Xiang City ever again. He’s nothing but a hopeless gambler; his presence will only increase your workload."

As Hua Mi spoke, she looked up at the two sleazy gamblers associated with Fang Huai,

"People like him are the same, letting them in just causes trouble. From now on, keep a closer eye on any gambling inside Xiang City. Overfed and idle, these people have no pursuits in life other than gambling."

"Screen everyone around Fang Huai thoroughly, and kick out anyone who can be kicked out."

The two Garrison members immediately stood at attention and responded in unison,

"Yes!"

Since Sister Hua had spoken, they naturally followed her orders.

The bystanders continued to murmur, but they kept their voices lower, trying not to draw Hua Mi’s attention.

They were afraid of being targeted by Hua Mi.

These people were indeed excessively idle, having nothing to do but to eat and fill their bellies.

Two meals a day, not only kept them from starvation, but in their utter idleness, it also kept them plump and healthy.

Amid their soft accusations of Hua Mi’s impiety and ingratitude to her benefactor, Hua Mi left the scene and strode towards the Apocalypse Supermarket.

After Hua Mi had left, their chatter switched from criticizing Hua Mi to blaming the Garrison,

"Those Garrison members, I don’t know what’s gotten into them, listening to a woman like that."

"I heard that woman is Commander Gong’s lover."

"So what? She still only throws her weight around because of Commander Gong. Let’s see if the Garrison actually listens to her and cuts our two free meals a day."

These words were spoken right in front of the Garrison.

The Garrison, tight-lipped as carved pumpkins, said nothing.

Silently following Sister Hua’s directions, they expelled Fang Huai and the other two sleazy gamblers from Xiang City and recorded their identities in the Xiang City surveillance system.

The moment these three men came into the surveillance system’s field, a "Deny Entry" alarm would sound.

Meanwhile, at the Xiang City Medical Center, people were really bored. Even up to the time of lining up for food, they were still discussing Hua Mi,

"I’ve never seen such an arrogant woman. What on earth is she relying on?"

"Isn’t it just because she is pretty? Big deal! Before the earthquake, cosmetic surgery was common. Who knows if her face is even real?"

"You said it, but I really think her face is too seductive, almost bewitching, like a vixen."

As they talked, they walked towards their usual spot to wait for their meals, and then said,

"I hope today’s meal doesn’t include oranges again, I’ve had enough. If only it could be cherries..."

"Hey, why is there no one distributing the food today? Did the Garrison go eat shit or something?"

While gossiping about Hua Mi, everyone lined up waiting to get their food.

But the free meals that should have been distributed by now were nowhere to be seen.

They might be late.

Meanwhile, Hua Mi had already made contact with Huo Jing and his relative, the Contractor.

The Contractor personally came near the Apocalypse Supermarket.

The scale of the Apocalypse Supermarket had significantly expanded from just a trailer and two buses as before.

It had grown many times over.

This again brings us to the medical system in Xiang City.

Now, medical care in Xiang City is divided into two areas: ordinary survivors are sent to the Emergency Section of the Medical Center.

Garrison, police, Clearing Team, Engineering Team, and Transport Team all go to the medical trailers next to the Apocalypse Supermarket.

The trailer hospital, far smaller than the Emergency Section, comprised only a few modified bus trailers and formed Xiang City’s trailer hospital.

Yet, it’s precisely these few trailers where the mortality rate was zero.

Any patient admitted to the trailer hospital received the most attentive care, considered VIPs by all survivors in Xiang City.

Anyone who could get a connection to enter the Apocalypse Supermarket indeed tried their hardest to get in.

Outside the trailer hospital, the Contractor waited for Hua Mi, and upon seeing her, the first thing he asked was,

"Miss Hua, do you really intend to take all those tubes? The quantity is huge; we’ve never managed such a large project before."

As more survivors arrived and more began sharing information in Xiang City, the word about the tubes spread.

Although many lights were crushed by the earthquake, most were preserved intact.

Some time ago, the light store owners who were familiar with the Contractor approached him, hoping he could convert the lights to cash.

The Contractor hadn’t agreed then, but now Miss Hua wanted the tubes again.

Hua Mi agreed immediately,

"Have them count how many tubes and light fixtures they have, I’ll take them all."

"Also, you can reach out to your former contacts. Any construction materials, I’m buying everything."

The revenue from her "Apocalypse Supermarket" could be cashed out for use, giving Hua Mi enough confidence.

Having bought them, she needed to use them. So, she discussed with the Contractor to begin hiring people to light up every street and ordinary house in Xiang City.

The scale of the project was immense, causing the Contractor some hesitation. He inquired:

"So, Miss Hua, what benefits are we offering the workers?"

"Three meals a day and two snacks, ten thousand yuan per month."

Hua Mi replied without hesitation; the package was almost the same as before the earthquake when working on construction sites typically earned over ten thousand yuan a month.

Such benefits, now, astonished the Contractor,

"Such generous benefits, Miss Hua, do we have that many resources?"

How come, on his way to find Hua Mi, he heard people saying that today’s free meals hadn’t been provided at all?

Many were guessing that Xiang City might be running out of resources, thus causing widespread anxiety and wild rumors. It was hard to know whom to believe.

For Hua Mi, a little public anxiety was exactly right; this was the time to think of safety amid danger. What time was it for people to still be paying attention to petty household matters and idle gossip?

They should be struggling for survival.

"Do not worry about resources; just hurry up and hire people. Let’s light up Xiang City. I guess awaiting the sunrise might take years."

Hua Mi looked up at the grey overcast skies, it was supposed to be daytime, but the thick clouds made it look more like dawn was breaking.
