Chapter 367: 366 I already have a Plan B in my heart.

"Survivors who always depend on others for protection won’t last long in the apocalypse, and even worse, they burden those who protect them."

Hua Mi was eating an apple, looking calm and composed, and then said to Qin Zhen,

"Don’t worry, I already have a Plan B in mind. If we really can’t finish the city wall, I can still protect these few people and the Garrison."

Her Lotus Shengxing Supermarket was as large as an entire neighborhood, large enough to accommodate all the people around her and the Garrison.

If Xiang City fell, they could always retreat, back into the Lotus Shengxing Supermarket.

Qin Zhen nodded his head and peeled another apple for Hua Mi before he rushed out the door to handle the tasks she had assigned him.

Initially, constructing the city wall provided three meals a day with two additional snack times.

Now, the amount of provisions had doubled, and the variety of snacks had increased significantly.

In such dire times, if someone actively signed up to build the wall, they would get an additional salary of 200,000 a month.

In Xiang City Base, the concept of money still existed; the money could be used to purchase provisions. A salary of 200,000 could buy a lot of supplies.

This news was sent via text message to everyone’s phones at Xiang City Base.

They spread the word among themselves, opinions varied. Some looked at their phones and sneered,

"How can we dare to do such a dangerous thing for more provisions and money?"

Everyone knew the current situation at Xiang City Base; they were about to be surrounded by the Zombie Tide from the south, fighting day and night.

With ceaseless explosions and clamorous noises.

There seemed to be an endless number of Zombies to kill.

And the city wall was the critical division between the inside and outside of the city.

Going to such a risky place to build the wall was tantamount to risking one’s life.

However, some people knew some inside stories, aware that workers had previously caused a commotion in the dangerous eastern area.

Regarding Qin Zhen’s mass text message, some people relished in their misfortune,

"The base’s management sure has a nerve, sparing no guns yet expecting others to risk their lives to build the wall? Dream on."

Most recipients of the mass text shook their heads.

But surprisingly, a significant number of women immediately set out toward Xiang City East.

They gathered around Contractor and chattered,

"President Bao, please take us in. We’ll work hard and not cause any trouble for Xiang City Base."

"We’ve traveled a long way from the north. Look, President Bao. My child is so hungry they’re crying; I really need this job."

Old Bao looked troubledly at the woman carrying her child.

He had been in construction his whole life and had never seen women come to a construction site to move bricks.

Yet today, most of the women asking to move bricks were also carrying children.

Some carried one on their back and led another by the hand.

What was this? This was a legitimate construction site,

not a daycare center or a refuge.

President Bao was inclined to turn these women away when Huo Jing hurriedly came from behind, relaying Hua Mi’s instructions.

According to Miss Hua’s wishes, no matter who came to the site, from the elderly up to 80 years old to children just a few years old, as long as they were willing to move bricks and build the wall,

they would be given jobs.

The woman opposite President Bao hesitated and then pleaded through tears:

"President Bao, please help us; you see, even Miss Hua said so, please help us."

"We would starve if we didn’t work here. If we don’t want to starve, we would have to take the kind of jobs that cater to others."

And the issue is, even those kinds of jobs spreading legs to serve others don’t pay well.

It’s not nearly as much as what you get from a day of moving bricks.

It’s just... very sad.

A few other women, thinking President Bao was concerned about their lack of strength,

hoisted a child in each hand and addressed the Contractor,

"Look, we are not weak! At home, we do all the chores, take care of the kids, and look after the bedridden in-laws; everything depends on us."

"See how strong we are!"

Looking at the women carrying a child on each side, Contractor was stunned.

He had never realized that these women were so strong.

At home, these seemingly useless housewives could actually do everything, and their understanding was no worse than a grown man’s.

With Miss Hua’s instructions, Contractor nodded,

then said to the group of women in front of him,

"You can try out for a while, but if it really doesn’t work out, then go home and take care of your children. I need to be clear, this project is urgent, and we must finish the city wall of Xiang City in the shortest possible time."

"And as you are aware, the situation is worsening by the day in Southern Xiang City with increasing numbers of Zombies; I can’t guarantee your safety."

"Besides offering you ample provisions and salary, don’t ask for anything else, especially not about having guns."

These matters definitely needed to be clarified upfront; if anyone asked for guns again, they would be crossing Hua Mi’s line,

and that kind of person definitely wouldn’t be welcome on the site.

The group of women nodded their heads; their needs were different from men’s –they just wanted a stable job to support themselves and their children,

What about guns? What about weapons?

These women had never even thought about such things.

In their minds, as long as they didn’t have to kill Zombies, they were more than satisfied.

Everyone readily agreed and then began to work according to the construction plans of Contractor and Huo Jing,

throwing themselves into the work.

While their children, apart from the very young ones who could only be carried on their backs because they couldn’t even walk,

even these tiny kids helped move bricks.

Following Miss Hua’s instructions, Contractor credited all the brick-moving children with working hours.

No matter how much they could consume, the supply of provisions for the children was the same as for the adults.

With low demands and meticulous work, the energy at the site was bustling.

Contractor, watching from the sidelines, was very pleased; he secretly pulled Huo Jing over and said,

"I never imagined that one day, women would be working on a construction site, moving bricks, and they’re not performing any worse than the men."

Huo Jing stood by, nodding in agreement.

When it was time to distribute food at noon, the women who had been working all morning eagerly lined up with their children.

They quietly discussed among themselves,

"They say it’s very dangerous here, but I think it’s fine; all the Zombies around have been cleared out by the Garrison; how dangerous can it be?"
