Chapter 165: 163 Can I see the children? (Thanks to Queen Xie Yaya for the reward update)

Hua Mi found herself alone, hiding inside the Lotus Shengxing Supermarket in Xiang City.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to answer Gong Yi’s call, but his attitude made her feel uneasy.

It was eerily reminiscent of Yu Mengmeng’s husband.

Having lived through a lifetime of apocalypse and witnessed various tragedies within it, she was betrayed time and time again by Fang Xin, whom she had treated like her own younger sister.

Hua Mi was not someone who could easily let her guard down.

Although Gong Yi trusted her with all his heart, Hua Mi couldn’t fully trust him in return.

Sure, it was her flaw.

But such a flaw allowed her to survive a very long time in the apocalypse.

From the very beginning, when Hua Mi learned she was pregnant, she prepared herself to raise the child alone in the apocalyptic world.

Just look outside Dr. Xin’s office at how many men were forcing their women to get abortions.

She had little expectation of Gong Yi.

All of Gong Yi’s reactions were informing Hua Mi that he’d received the news without any thoughtful consideration.

So at this moment, Hua Mi didn’t want to talk to Gong Yi.

Once she decided to have the child, it had to come after careful thought, ensuring that she was prepared to dedicate the rest of her life to being responsible for another life.

This wasn’t something that could be simply resolved with a "I can take responsibility, let’s have the child..."

Therefore, from the start, Hua Mi had never planned on dragging Gong Yi into this situation.

She wanted Gong Yi to think clearly—what did he really want?

If he wanted it, what would he need to do to take on the responsibilities of a father? On this point, Hua Mi truly wasn’t demanding.

If not, then both of them would need some careful thought to avoid affecting their collaborative relationship. If Hua Mi insisted on having the child, then the child couldn’t acknowledge Gong Yi as a father.

Her child didn’t need a father who didn’t want them, who didn’t await their arrival.

Her belly was growing bigger by the day, and this secret wouldn’t stay hidden, so now was the time to speak out.

When Gong Yi had made up his mind, how to support him wouldn’t change for Hua Mi.

After all, up to this point, their cooperation had been quite pleasant.

In summary, Hua Mi didn’t think it was a good idea to answer Gong Yi’s call on impulse.

She sighed, hung up on the call from Gong Yi, made herself a cup of tea in her supermarket, and quietly watched the torrential rain pouring outside the window.

The rain in Xiang City was already so heavy; other cities, those that were meant to be submerged, were probably nearly drowned by now.

The sky was so dark, human living conditions were becoming increasingly difficult, and she could really understand how those men who didn’t want children felt.

If she were an ordinary man, she wouldn’t even need to put herself in the shoes of an ordinary man to feel that these living conditions were simply not suitable for pregnancy and childbirth.

The rain poured heavily, the sky turned completely dark, the landscape was shattered, and inside the supermarket of Lotus Shengxing, a soon-to-be mother indulged in a rare moment of melancholy...

This supermarket owned by Hua Mi was not open to the public, covering an area as large as a neighborhood.

She had leveled the entire neighborhood to accommodate her Black Land.

[Initiating safety scan...]

[Security defense project completed]

[Defense project: Completion of streetlight construction on XX Road in Xiang City]

[Rating: Basic Protection Project]

[Received 10 square meters of Black Land, please choose a location for the Black Land.]

[Won lottery x1]

[Remaining lotteries x5]

Suddenly, a string of characters flashed up. Does completing a road lit up for the city count towards Hua Mi’s safety protection engineering project?

She felt a little puzzled; previously, her engineering team had cleared a road, and that was considered a safety protection measure.

Then why didn’t all the roads cleared in Xiang City count towards her safety protection?

Because it wasn’t her team who cleared them? So it didn’t count as her achievement?

Upon standing, Hua Mi, in front of a full-length mirror, suddenly had an epiphany.

While rolling up her clothes to check on her painfully swollen belly, she called the contractor,

"It’s like this, even if it takes a bit longer, it doesn’t matter, it needs to be completely handled by our own people."

"Get in touch with the City Clearance Team on the city management side, tell them to stop their work, and if they must work, they can join my Clearing Team."

These words startled the contractor,

"Miss Hua, you... you’re taking over the city management work of Xiang City?"

In truth, taking over was feasible; it was not a big deal since Yu Guanglin had run off and the Commander of city management was nowhere to be seen. This showed how chaotic the management levels had become.

However, the garrison had taken control over Xiang City, so the basic functions were still operating. For instance, the City Clearance Team had always been active.

"I’m not taking over, but I’m not pleased with the City Clearance Team always competing with us for business, so I’ll swallow them up first."

While speaking, Hua Mi looked in the mirror and thought for a moment, then decided to take off her pants and put on a pair of looser harem pants.

Her belly was getting noticeable, and she could no longer wear anything tight around it.

Over the phone, the contractor counted the 400 names on his roster,

"Miss Hua, our engineering team now has 400 members, all carefully selected by me, with relevant experience in electrical work."

Paving the streets of Xiang City with lights on a rainy day was a tough job.

The contractor was also concerned about safety; too many people made it difficult to manage.

If the City Clearance Team was absorbed, along with the original 10 members and the policemen filling in from Yang Honglin’s side.

There would be at least 500 people.

This constituted a sizable construction crew. A monthly salary of 5 million would have to be paid out to so many people, not to mention the provision of numerous benefits.

It was known that Hua Mi was very keen on providing benefits, sporadically distributing oranges, straw sandals...

In an era of scarcity and constant rain, wearing flexible, durable, and comfortable straw sandals was far better than wearing worn-out shoes.

Therefore, their engineering and Clearing Teams, collectively known as the Basic Construction Brigade, now each had a pair of straw sandals.

But to stray from the topic, the contractor meant that, with so many people, he was worried Hua Mi wouldn’t have enough resources to support them all.

After all, Xiang City’s supply warehouse was depleted, and all the resources consumed by the Xiang City People were Hua Mi’s.

Could Hua Mi sustain a whole city, the resource transport team from Chi Chuan, and the small trading groups, as well as a Basic Construction Brigade of 500 people?

After hanging up from the call with the contractor, Hua Mi’s phone was bombarded with incoming calls.

All from Gong Yi.

She chose to handle the contractor’s matter first, as answering Gong Yi’s call now wouldn’t help; she didn’t know what to say to him anyway.

If it turned into an argument over the issue with the child, it would damage their cooperative relationship.

Soon, seeing that the calls were not getting through, Gong Yi sent a message,

[Gong Yi: I just went to see Dr. Xin, and she mentioned you have two ultrasound reports of the children. Could you let me see the kids?]
