Chapter 363: 362 Who has the patience to help a woman defend a base

The team from E City, whether they managed to recruit anyone or not, actually nobody really knew.

But the fact that E City was developing well was something many survivors were aware of.

Hua Mi lay in her single VIP hospital ward, listening to the voices of debate fading outside, and she let out a sarcastic chuckle.

If the very powerful Fire-element superpower user they talked about was Qu Shiheng, then Qu Shiheng had already run away.

At that moment, Tu Lijia rushed into the hospital room, her face livid,

"Everyone outside has gone crazy, they actually say that E City will be better than our Xiang City Base."

Hua Mi teased her,

"What’s wrong? Do you want to go to E City?"

Tu Lijia had been looking down adjusting Hua Mi’s nutritional meal for the day, but at those words, she looked up at Hua Mi and said angrily:

"How could I possibly want to go to E City? My roots are in Xiang City, if I left for E City, what would happen to my parents?"

Currently, the calmest people in the Xiang City Base were probably the Old Xiangcheng people.

The restless ones were likely those who had fled from other regions late into the crisis.

Because they still had choices, they never felt that the Xiang City Base was their final destination.

They just saw it as a place of refuge, nothing more.

It was different for the Old Xiangcheng people; they had always been here and beyond this place, they had no knowledge of the outside world.

Even though many said that E City was so very safe, no matter how safe it was, it would still be somewhat difficult for them to pack up their families and leave.

Moreover, the Xiang City Garrison had always been reliable.

Watching Tu Lijia hop about in agitation, Hua Mi laughed and said:

"Life is going to get tougher in the days ahead. Those who want to leave should go now, or they might lose the chance."

No sooner had she finished speaking than she received a phone call—it was the Contractor.

He said over the phone that the construction team had gathered on the east side of the base and were causing a commotion.

Hua Mi tilted her head, furrowed her brow,

"Do they want to leave? Are we not letting them go just to keep them for New Year’s?"

In fact, many around her reported only the good news to her and withheld the bad.

A lot of things happened that they would think over and then just drop.

There was no need to bother Hua Mi with idle chit-chat.

Everyone knew that Hua Mi was hospitalized, waiting to give birth, her large belly ready for delivery at any time.

The Contractor was anxious on the other end of the phone,

"They don’t want to leave, nor do they want supplies, they are just making trouble."

Just pure ruckus.

Because they hadn’t approached the barbed wire nor entered the danger areas demarcated by the garrison.

So this level of disturbance wasn’t something the garrison should be dealing with, nor did they have the time to handle it.

Yang Honglin had already gone to urgently maintain order, but even Yang Honglin couldn’t manage it, which showed how serious the problem was.

Hua Mi listened with a frown.

Conveniently, she had a transportation point outside the Tomson Superior Villa District, and without waiting for Tu Lijia to speak, she teleported there directly.

The discussions outside were not limited to just those in the hospital; they touched every aspect of the Xiang City Base.

When Hua Mi teleported over, Qin Zhen and Shi Caixia had arrived to deal with the situation after Yang Honglin.

So Hua Mi stood at the entrance of the Tomson Superior Villa District and took a look.

Those striking workers were unanimous in their demand—they wanted guns.

"We know you have connections and means, you have rules and strict management, but now with Zombies sprouting everywhere, you ask us to build walls, what will you use to ensure our safety?"

Someone was leading the negotiations with Yang Honglin.

Behind this person, a large group of workers sat silently on the road.

Yang Honglin wiped his face, removing the spit that had landed there.

Qin Zhen stepped forward to explain,

"It’s impossible to give you guns; these are strictly controlled items that cannot be allowed to proliferate, and besides, we don’t have that many guns and ammo."

She didn’t know how many guns Hua Mi had, but Qin Zhen and Hua Mi thought the same.

Guns should not be allowed to spread.

No matter how urgent the situation, they couldn’t just hand out guns and ammo to survivors at will.

She sighed, trying to reason with these workers with empathy and logic,

"The Xiang City Base is currently under attack from a Zombie Tide, and the peak is coming soon. If you don’t go to repair the walls now, our situation will become even more difficult."

The Xiang City Base was still an unfinished structure.

Similar projects, though operational, were unfinished in Xiang City, which were common.

So only half of Xiang City’s walls had been built.

The territory of the Xiang City Base kept expanding, including the protective walls.

The remaining half of the unfinished walls was temporarily replaced with electric fencing.

In ordinary times it worked well; the electric fence was quite effective.

But it could easily be knocked over during a Zombie Tide.

Especially if the Zombie Tide was mixed with a Mutated Beast Tide...

That’s why Hua Mi had asked the Contractor to build the walls of the Xiang City Base as fast as possible.

Just use the cement she provided, the kind that even drill bits couldn’t damage.

According to Hua Mi’s calculations, the real Zombie Tide would arrive in about two months.

The timeline was tight, but not necessarily impossible to meet the construction progress.

Just need proper planning.

"Miss Qin also knows how difficult our situation is right now, so why would you disregard our safety?"

"Right, the garrison has guns, but the garrison doesn’t protect us either, they’re just useless bodies with seat titles. We’re asking for guns. With them, wouldn’t our life safety be somewhat guaranteed?"

From the crowd, someone said this with a tone full of provocation,

"I heard that this Xiang City Base belongs to a woman, the wife of Gong Yi. So we’re not building our base; we’re building a woman’s base."

"If that’s the case, why should we take the risk?"

This aspect hadn’t been clearly pursued by Gong Yi.

From the beginning, Gong Yi didn’t care who the Xiang City Base really belonged to.

He was defending people, not the city. As long as the people were there, whose land or whose house it was, Gong Yi didn’t care.

Hua Mi funded the construction, and Gong Yi, along with everyone else, took it for granted that the construction produced by Hua Mi was hers.

So was there a problem with this?

Why did it suddenly become a grave sin?

Hua Mi stood in the distance, looking into the crowd, and suddenly she smiled.

Guess what, she recognized a familiar face among the group of trouble-making workers.

Hu Yanxiang.

Wasn’t this an old acquaintance from D City?

No wonder this group of workers kept saying that the base was Hua Mi’s and that it had nothing to do with them.

They even claimed they were risking their lives to build the base.

Would anyone think this way without someone stirring things up?

In the crowd, Hu Yanxiang shouted with raised neck,

"That’s right, enough talk, if you don’t give us guns, we’re leaving. Who has the patience to help a woman guard a base?"

"Ah! Pah!!!"
