Chapter 202: The small color den at the gate of Xiang City 200

In the pouring rain, a handsome and cultured man was stopping Qin Xiaolan to talk to her.

They watched together the throngs of survivors coming and going at the entrance of Xiang City.

Ma Zhiyuan said,

"Xiao Lan, ask them, which one of them hasn’t lost family members? This is just how the world is now, every day there’s parting and death."

"Don’t keep dwelling on it day after day, not letting go. Everyone has to struggle for survival; we shouldn’t waste our time on this."

Standing not far from the two was Hua Mi, nodding in agreement, believing the man made a good point.

What a smooth talker.

Yet, Qin Xiaolan replied,

"But that’s because I didn’t have any news of my brother before. Now that Fang Xin says she has a lead, I want to go find her."

Fang Xin... Hua Mi, standing not far away, was taken aback. Why was it always Fang Xin? Did Fang Xin know she had killed Qin Ziran?

So, Hua Mi pricked up her ears, listening carefully, but the two had already walked away, seemingly heading out of the city.

Because she needed to keep an eye on Liu Shengyuan, Hua Mi couldn’t follow them and could only watch as the two figures walked away.

Why did she feel that those involved with Fang Xin never met with a good end?

At this point, Hua Mi had no time to think further as Liu Shengyuan, leading four Garrison men in plain clothes, had already left the Observation Tower.

Hua Mi followed from a distance; she had no intention of interfering with Liu Shengyuan’s mission.

It was because the Energy Water Drop was in Liu Shengyuan’s body, and she didn’t know when it might lose its effect.

The 220ml bottle of Energy Water Drop, she didn’t know what effect it might have on Liu Shengyuan, so Hua Mi followed behind him and his men.

To be there to lend a hand if necessary.

This time, they were said to have been investigating for a long time and had identified a small color nest right at the entrance of Xiang City.

It was the same two Garrison men whom Gong Yi had previously sent to track Brother Monkey, who after a lengthy stakeout, had discovered this place.

Actually, such small color nests were not uncommon in the apocalypse of her previous life.

At first, people felt it was a disgrace, immoral.

But as time passed, as long as they could survive, women would use their bodies as capital, making it a way of making a living.

No one saw it as a dirty business anymore; as long as it kept them and their children fed, it wasn’t dirty.

Of course, this was only when the survivors truly had no other means to make ends meet.

Now the disaster had only struck over three months ago, people still had savings, and survivors could still find manual labor in Xiang City.

Those not willing to do manual labor could wholesale goods or search for supplies in the ruins to run a stall.

And if they were unwilling to do either, they could earn money by collecting seeds for Sister Hua.

Sister Hua had said, as long as they were seeds, she would pay a high price.

Why couldn’t they think of ways to survive? Why did they have to resort to such measures to live decently?

No woman would like to be treated by men in that way, especially women from the fortunate era who still had a sense of honor and decency. If they appeared in a color nest, it was likely under duress.

Hua Mi followed far behind Liu Shengyuan and the Garrison, to a semi-abandoned self-built small villa.

She leaned casually in a dry spot, curling into her coral fleece maternity dress, waiting for the commotion inside.

There shouldn’t be too much noise.

Less than a minute after Liu Shengyuan led his men inside, several ruffians flew out from all corners of the small building.

All bare, flung away by a punch from Liu Shengyuan.

Some flew out of the windows, some burst through the front door, and others tumbled over the balcony from the second floor before plummeting down.

What horrendous thing had happened inside...Driven by curiosity, Hua Mi waited until all the street urchins had made their escape before she stepped into the building.

What met her eyes was a group of women, locked in chains, crying and wailing, barely clothed.

Liu Shengyuan was grabbing the chains on the women’s wrists, breaking them with his bare hands.

His motion halted as he and four other garrison members, who were searching for keys to unlock the chains, turned their heads in surprise at the sight of Hua Mi standing at the door.

"Sister-in-law, what bring you here? Don’t look, please."

Liu Shengyuan stood up and stepped in front of Hua Mi.

The scene was dire; Sister Hua, being pregnant, really should not be exposed to such dark affairs.

Yet Hua Mi displayed a face of accustomed indifference, giving a cursory glance over the environment of the small building,

"These street urchins are really audacious, to set up a den right under the noses of the garrison."

At first, she had thought it was one of those small tents—really small ones—dealing with lewd affairs,

like those places where the men of a family, like fathers and husbands, would force their women into prostitution.

After all, Xiang City still had some order.

It had been less than four months since the disaster.

But looking at the situation here, it seemed to have developed to a significant extent.

There were more than a dozen women here, and a considerable number of street urchins had fled.

To call this place a den of vice would be an understatement; it looked more like a transit station.

A place where women were gathered and prepared to be shipped off to some destination.

Hua Mi’s brow furrowed slightly, the situation was worse than she had imagined.

Just then, from among those women, one suddenly burst forth, yelling at the top of her lungs,

"Hua Mi, you beast, you have no heart, you’re nothing but a beast!"

The women lying on the ground, barely clothed, began to curse,

"The garrison’s good name has been ruined because of you, Hua Mi, you’re not human, you’re truly not!"

"We believed in you because you promised to find us good jobs, but you tricked us into doing this!"

"You’re a beast..."

The woman who rushed at her first was swiftly intercepted by Liu Shengyuan.

Behind him, Hua Mi’s expression gradually hardened on her face.

Her fox-like eyes gleamed coldly as she looked at the women crying and cursing in the room,

"If you don’t make things clear today, I swear I’ll skin you alive!"

She was infuriated. When had she ever said she would find these women jobs? Was she so idle, with nothing better to do, that she would engage in such business?

The nearby garrison members also sensed something off about the entire ordeal. Liu Shengyuan exchanged a glance with the garrison, and two of them came over to escort Hua Mi aside.

Liu Shengyuan, along with the remaining two, began to interrogate the women one by one.

In less than half an hour, they had the whole story crystal clear.

In fact, Hua Mi knew these women.

No, it would be more accurate to say that they all knew Hua Mi; some were her high school and middle school classmates from her hometown, some were her college classmates...

It was just that Hua Mi had forgotten them.

And they had all been deceived into coming here, united by Fang Xin, using Hua Mi’s name.
