Chapter 183: 181 days will be the same as before

Aside from a few commonly known herbs, who would dare to mix and decoct medicinal materials without a prescription from a professional Chinese medicine pharmacist, unsure of which ingredients combined could produce what effects or treat what ailments?

Chinese medicine is such; reckless mixing of prescriptions could very likely turn a good medicine into poison, or poison into deadly toxin.

Even due to improper storage, the properties of herbs might change.

And the efficacy of the medicine can increase or decrease to various extents when different herbs are decocted together.

In the past, people wanting to take Chinese medicine could simply buy books with herbal prescriptions online.

But where could the survivors now go online?

Even if they could connect to the internet and buy books using the Universal Signal Connectors sold by Hua Mi, who would ship the orders on the other end?

And those Chinese medicinal materials, without an expert connoisseur, most probably wouldn’t recognize what they were.

Many herbs actually look quite similar.

At least to Hua Mi’s eyes, they were all bunches of nearly identical plants.

In short, this batch of herbs had become nothing more than chicken ribs to Chi Chuan’s friend’s friend—useless, but also hard to give up. If conditions allowed for continued preservation, they might save many lives in the future.

The premise was that someone had the huge engine energy needed to take over these several dozen tons of Chinese medicinal materials.

Hua Mi only took half a second to think,

"Go all in, tell your friend’s friend to bring over whatever herbs they have; I’ll buy them all."

Chi Chuan’s friend’s friend was in the Chinese medicine business and naturally knew many colleagues.

Hua Mi was now wealthy, incredibly wealthy.

And Chi Chuan’s friend’s friend, he just wanted money.

Because for Hua Mi, money was useful, money could buy supplies.

If the other party wanted to trade for goods, having too much stock could lead to waste or even robbery.

So might as well convert everything into money, preferably in the form of online electronic currency.

He had bought Hua Mi’s Universal Signal Connector early on, so he and his family could live in City B, buying and consuming little by little, surviving for a long time.

Chi Chuan agreed,

"Then Sister Hua, I’ll come with him, and we’ll move the medicinal materials."

Those Chinese medicinal materials were stored in the medicine market inside City B, not far from Hua Mi.

"Okay."

Hua Mi told Chi Chuan and the Chinese medicinal material merchant to drive to the City B resource storage to pick her up.

After hanging up Chi Chuan’s call, Hua Mi carefully checked the remaining space in her level 17 storage.

Not much was left.

Although these past two days she had taken out many Straw matting, at the same time, she had acquired even more...

But her level 17 storage should still be upgradeable.

At this moment, outside the City B resource storage, a man lowly digging mud with an Engineer Shovel not far from the storage spoke softly to the man beside him,

"Big brother, you were right, our guys have gotten into trouble."

The man addressed as "big brother," Zhu Xianjun, was a Little Gangster under Chen Hu, and he frowned upon hearing this,

"Lucky that bitch went towards the highway, and I didn’t follow."

At that time, they had all seen Hua Mi going towards the highway alone.

"I haven’t touched a woman in a long time," Zhu Xianjun had thought about going.

But he hid among these survivors, never demanding or extorting supplies from them.

On the contrary, he even had quite good relations with several survivors.

When his Little Gangster encouraged survivors to throw stones at the Garrison, Zhu Xianjun didn’t lift a finger.

Because he maintained such a good image, Zhu Xianjun hesitated for a moment, letting his Little Gangster have some fun with that bitch Hua Mi first.

Who would have thought, following them, Hua Mi came back all by herself, unscathed?

Without raising any suspicion, Zhu Xianjun continued to blend in with the survivor group, waiting until the Contractor arrived to divide them into teams.

He was assigned to shovel mud, clearing out a broad area with an Engineer Shovel.

While shoveling mud, Zhu Xianjun ordered the remaining Little Gangsters, posing as ordinary survivors, to slip away and search along the highway.

They didn’t find a single one of their people.

So most of his Little Gangsters must have run into trouble on the way to abduct Hua Mi.

Zhu Xianjun gritted his teeth—just like that, he had lost more than half of his Little Gangsters, enough to drive him mad.

"Boss, we might have been baited by that bitch," said one Little Gangster.

Apart from being baited, there was no other explanation. Why else would Hua Mi wander alone near the highway?

It was obviously a trap set to lure his people.

"Boss, we can’t let this grudge go just like that."

The Little Gangster continued,

"I’ve found out this woman’s name is Hua Mi, apparently the girlfriend of some Garrison guy..."

Because of the communication blockade, plenty of information wasn’t shared timely. That Hua Mi was someone’s Garrison girlfriend was leaked by the blabbermouth Contractor—showing off his inside scoop.

Zhu Xianjun glanced in the distance at the Contractor, who was directing survivors to set up tents on the spot.

Sure enough, someone experienced in construction, whether with a gold or silver tooth, must have some organizational and planning abilities to manage these more than 2000 people.

Zhu Xianjun didn’t want to admit it, but the Contractor boasted that based on his organization and planning, within 24 hours, all these 2000 people would have tents to live in.

Within 48 hours, they would move into prefabricated houses, within 36 hours the houses would have water and electricity connected... and in 10 days, a factory would be built.

Zhu Xianjun scoffed at the idea—it was all just hot air from the Contractor decked out in nouveau riche flair.

"I don’t care whose girlfriend that bitch is; if she messed with my brother, I’m going to kill her."

Zhu Xianjun clenched his teeth and found the name Hua Mi eerily familiar.

It seemed like he had heard his boss Chen Hu mention before, sending Yu Guanglin to deal with a woman named Hua something.

Could there be any connection to this Hua Mi?

Just as he was pondering this, another undercover Little Gangster leaned in and whispered to Zhu Xianjun,

"Boss, someone’s come to pick up that bitch, they’re getting ready to leave."

Zhu Xianjun spat on the ground,

"Perfect, damn it, I’m sick of shoveling this mud."

In the distance, the Contractor was still shouting to the mud-shoveling survivors through a megaphone,

"In 10 days, once the factory is built, you’ll all have jobs, supplies to be distributed, and life will stabilize. Your days will be like before, keep it up!"

Days like before, my ass. Only those ordinary survivors would fall for such crap. Zhu Xianjun couldn’t be fooled.

Instead, he relished in this lawless and unregulated environment, free from restraints.

This way, he could slowly kill Hua Mi without worrying about getting caught.
