The Pregnant Mommy Survive on Unlimited Supplies

Chapter 88: 088 domino

Hua Mi found City A on the map and took out a marker to connect City A with Xiang B Highway.

Because the agricultural trade giant said he had a supply source in City B, he could procure a large quantity of frozen meat and many live poultry.

Therefore, Hua Mi had been having Huo Jing’s relatives exert all their efforts these past few days to clear the highway from Xiang City to City B.

All the cleared rubbish was piled up outside of Xiang City.

She would collect it when she had time.

Hua Mi didn’t bother with the other cities. She didn’t have the energy to clear the roads of the whole world.

Looking at the map, Hua Mi asked Chi Chuan on the phone,

"What about the Clearing Team in City A? Now, City A is lacking medical supplies and food, just because the roads are blocked. As long as the Clearing Team can clear the roads, the supplies will be able to get in."

On the other end of the phone, Chi Chuan led his friends through a chaotic and angry crowd,

"If the garrison commander in City A could have half the courage of our Xiang City’s Commander Gong, City A would never have become such a mess."

From the time when the earthquake spread to City A, at first City A still managed to stay calm because many people had run from Xiang City to City A, and the atmosphere in City A was quite lively.

Everyone pulled together and cheered each other on, helping City A’s rescue team to save people.

But soon, the rescue supplies could not keep up.

At that time, the outside world also donated quite a bit of money to City A, but this money got stuck in the management system of City A.

The rescue team wanted to use it, but they needed to file report after report.

Human hearts are complicated, especially for reports that involve money, just like when Ke Minghong had to request funding from the management headquarters for Xiang City.

You talk about your reasoning, I talk about my concerns. You say you urgently need it, I feel there are other things more urgent.

The SOS came, and every second delayed meant the loss of numerous lives.

The rescue supplies still hadn’t arrived, and the rescue team soon had grievances.

This was like a domino effect, where one falls, the rest follow.

The rescue team was rescuing people on empty stomachs, waiting each day for funds to be released for procuring supplies.

But by the time the management system approved the funding, the roads outside City A were already collapsed, preventing any supplies from entering the city.

It was no wonder if City A was in chaos.

The biggest difference between Xiang City and City A was that, from the beginning, Gong Yi had grabbed the money in his own hands.

He didn’t need approval from the management headquarters to buy anything.

He also didn’t have the time to go to the management system for funding over and over.

Hearing gunfire from Chi Chuan’s side, Hua Mi’s brows furrowed,

"Take care of yourself and your people, and remember to bring back the money."

"Dear sister, at a time like this, what use is money?"

Amidst a flurry of paper currency, Chi Chuan led his people on foot towards the outskirts of City A while saying,

"I reckon it won’t be long before money won’t work in Xiang City either. We’ll have to think of new ways to survive."

Chi Chuan wasn’t just talking nonsense. The prices in City A were skyrocketing; they had brought tens of thousands of bottles of mineral water to sell at 10 yuan each and they were quickly snatched up.

Then, in the past few days, trapped in City A, they witnessed the beginnings of chaos in City A.

Only then did they realize that selling mineral water for 10 yuan a bottle was practically giving it away to City A.

Because money was scattered all over the roads, and from time to time, there were frantic people who couldn’t bear the pressure, throwing money everywhere.

Just like scattering Joss Paper.

"No, no, no, money is still useful."

Hua Mi was afraid that Chi Chuan wouldn’t bring back the money, because then her "apocalypse supermarket - Cashier System" wouldn’t have any income, and she wouldn’t have the money to upgrade her factory,

"You must bring back the money. To buy things from me, you need money. I don’t accept anything else."

Hearing this, Chi Chuan, leading at the front, suddenly paused.

His buddy behind him asked,

"Chuanzi, what’s up?"

"Quick, pick up the money!"

Chi Chuan grabbed a backpack and began picking up the scattered bills off the ground.

A City was still in a frenzy of agitation, with people on rooftops ready to jump, throwing stacks of money everywhere,

"It’s useless now, useless now—hahaha."

Mad laughter rose and a body fell from the sky, landing right behind Chi Chuan and the others.

The small group dealing in arbitrage turned to glance back, then ran, hauling up Chi Chuan who was frantically collecting money.

"Chuanzi, what’s the point of picking up money if you don’t live to spend it, let’s go, hurry!!!"

"Let go of me, let go of me, Sister Hua said she recognizes money, let go of me!"

Chi Chuan’s cries were drowned out on the road out of A City.

Inside Xiang City, it was still overcast and rainy. Hua Mi had slept for a while on the second floor of the supermarket, and when she got up, she set about preparing to go to the emergency center.

She had arranged with Dr. Xin for a check-up today.

As soon as she stepped out of the supermarket, a line of text popped up,

[! Alert, the supermarket is about to be flooded.]

???

The flood came so soon? The supermarket is going to be flooded?

She turned around and saw a wave of orange, sweeping over the roof of her supermarket.

Oh God, Hua Mi remembered, these were the oranges she hadn’t harvested.

In the span of one night, the oranges had ripened, fallen, and begun the cycle of ripening and falling, over and over...

Now they were about to engulf the backyard of her supermarket.

Fortunately, the orange disaster happened at night, and Huo Jing and the others had not yet arrived for work.

Hua Mi rushed to the backyard, stuffing oranges into the level 11 storage as she went.

Stowing the oranges one by one was slow, but when an orange disaster struck, they could be collected into level 11 storage with just a thought.

After hurriedly dealing with the untamed oranges, she successfully [unlocked storage level 12 (12X1 space)].

Hua Mi then tidied up the backyard of her supermarket.

She cleared away the messy stones and other debris, making the backyard much more spacious.

She vaguely remembered, wasn’t there something else she had overlooked?

Oh, she still had 5 square meters of Black Land to set up—what kind of memory was that?

How could she have forgotten such an important thing?

Hua Mi hurriedly set up her 5 square meters of Black Land in the backyard and planted rice.

Considering that a single orange tree on just one square meter of Black Land had almost caused an orange disaster and nearly flooded her supermarket,

Hua Mi dared to plant only one grain of rice on the 5 square meters of Black Land this time.

Yes, just a single grain.

She planted the rest with ginger, scallions, garlic, and green peppers.

After planting, she looked at the Lottery Pool with its [Lottery X2] option, and Hua Mi hesitated for a moment, then decided not to risk it.

She would keep hoarding them.

These lottery chances needed to be hoarded for at least a month, until the growth period of the oranges had passed.

After taking care of the 5 square meters of Black Land, Hua Mi finally drove the nanny car, exiting through the iron fence to head straight to the emergency center of the rescue center.

Xin Qiuru was indeed very tight-lipped, escorting Hua Mi through the check-ups without even the nurses knowing what they were for.

Even the transvaginal ultrasound was personally performed by Xin Qiuru on Hua Mi.
