Chapter 175: 173 Incite

Hua Mi silently watched Tang You, both of them felt that the 2,000 survivors heading to the Xiang City supply warehouse was unusual.

Indeed, it wasn’t long before the wounded Garrison rushed back into the Xiang City supply warehouse,

"Captain Tang, we tried to persuade them to change their course, but they wouldn’t listen."

Clearly, this group of ordinary survivors had been incited, otherwise they wouldn’t have attacked the Garrison.

2,000 survivors; a punch from each was too much for the flesh and blood Garrison, who also did not retaliate.

Hua Mi immediately called the medical Garrison to bandage the wounded members who were bleeding from their heads.

Before she could ask Tang You what to do next, they heard a disturbance outside the Xiang City supply warehouse.

Tang You immediately ran out to check, with Hua Mi following behind.

At the warehouse entrance, they saw a human wall formed by the Garrison, continuously being pushed back, until there was no room left to retreat.

In front of them stood a crowd of survivors, accompanying their children.

These survivors were screaming at the top of their lungs,

"Let us through, we just want to eat, give us food."

"You cannot hoard so much supplies, those belong to us."

"Give us food, quickly give us food."

The echo of their voices felt familiar to Hua Mi.

In her previous life, weren’t there countless incidents of protesting survivors unable to find food?

Unlike her previous life, the forces besieged for supplies would directly shoot at the survivors.

Tang You wouldn’t shoot, nor would any of the Garrison here.

Therefore, they could only form a defensive line with their bodies, retreating under the pressure from the encroaching survivors.

Some of the survivors grabbed stones and hurled them at the Garrison shouting,

"You good-for-nothings, hoarding supplies and not giving us any, watching us starve to death, you have no conscience!"

Among that group of survivors, children cried, elderly coughed, women screamed, men swore...

The silent Garrison stood at the warehouse entrance, some already bleeding from head wounds.

Tang You, holding a megaphone, shouted at the survivors outside:

"These supplies aren’t just for you, they’re meant for the survivors in Xiang City and City A. If you walk a bit further along the Xiang B Highway, you’ll find many vendors selling supplies."

There should be regulations, after all, the Xiang City supply warehouse was merely a transfer station for Hua Mi.

She couldn’t possibly set up a stall by herself, nor could she manage daily deliveries to each supply point.

The project was too large; Xiang City was still manageable, with only one RV supermarket as a vending point.

But now, that RV supermarket had become a wholesale market, where many vendors from Xiang City would queue overnight to stock up, then set up their stands both inside and outside Xiang City.

Initially, there was only one vending spot at the gates of Xiang City, handled by Chi Chuan’s small trading group.

But now, the city gate too had become a distribution point where survivors also queued overnight to stock supplies, then set up stands along the Xiang B Highway.

The resources for these two wholesale points were provided by the underground garage in Xiang City and the Xiang City supply warehouse.

Since these two warehouses were large enough, a single shipment from Hua Mi could last several days.

The Garrison only needed to secure these two transfer stations, managing more was beyond their capability and Hua Mi was too busy; they also lacked distribution stations.

Therefore, if survivors simply travelled to the Xiang B Highway with money, they could buy the supplies.

Why not walk a bit further? You’ve already come this far; just a little more and you’d find the mobile vendors.

The items sold by these traveling vendors were a tad more expensive than those at the RV supermarket and the Xiang City gate wholesale point.

Furthermore, the prices at these mobile stands weren’t uniform; the farther they were from Xiang City or Xiang City, the more expensive the goods became.

After all, like ants moving house, transporting goods such a long distance also cost a bit extra.

Standing behind Tang You, Hua Mi saw a man, hiding behind an elderly person, shouting loudly,

"Why should we walk such a long distance, spending money to buy supplies? These warehouse supplies must be reserved for the superiors, we won’t get a single hair from them."

His words were full of incitement.

Amidst these inciting voices, the already desperate survivors felt a burning rage.

Noticing that the situation was becoming uncontrollable,

Hua Mi snatched the megaphone from Tang You’s hand and shouted,

"No need to panic. There are plenty of supplies. But look, the elderly and children among you can’t hold on much longer. Now, if the elderly and children come forward, we will distribute supplies to them."

Facing the fervor, break it down!

Immediately, some men shouted,

"Why should the elderly and children get supplies first? We are all together, why them?"

"Don’t listen to her, it’s all a plot, these worthless people, always up to no good."

"Exactly, maybe the food she gives is poisoned."

Several men shouted loudly amidst the crowd, filled with conspiracy theories.

Hua took down the megaphone and asked Tang You beside her,

"Did you see who those shouting men were?"

"We’ve locked onto a few targets."

With his protective goggles, Tang You could see clearer than the survivors.

Moreover, trained in reconnaissance, Garrison quickly identified the inciting men among the chaos.

Those men, still holding stones, positioned themselves among the survivors, throwing stones at the Garrison.

What was the purpose of these men inciting the survivors to besiege the Xiang City supply warehouse, continuously throwing stones?

Hua Mi whispered,

"Deal with those inciting men, I’ll handle the rest."

As soon as her words fell, without waiting for Tang You’s objection, she raised the megaphone and shouted,

"An elderly person, bring a child here to line up. Come on, form a line. Anyone who lines up will get oranges, apples, grapefruits, cherries..."

"Don’t listen to her, she’s lying!"

A man standing behind two children shouted, swinging a stone, aiming at Hua Mi.

If they didn’t eliminate Hua Mi, chaos wouldn’t ensue here today.

However, his thrown stone was shattered by a bullet mid-air with a "bang."

Nearby, Garrison snipers were already lying in ambush.

Their scopes aimed at those men in the crowd, who were inciting turmoil.
