Chapter 91: 091 Look at what the garrison has been forced into.

"Tang You and Da Fu?"

Hua Mi walked out of the RV with Yu Mengmeng and asked Ye Rong, who was busily occupied inside.

Ye Rong looked up and glanced at Yu Mengmeng,

"They’re down in the basement garage hauling oranges."

Previously, Hua Mi had called them, asking them to drag the oranges out to the City Entrance Barrier to sell them.

Then, Ye Rong looked towards Yu Mengmeng’s stomach and asked Hua Mi,

"Who is this?"

"Just met her in the emergency area, she was looking for work, so I brought her back with me."

Hua Mi gestured with her hand and turned to signal Yu Mengmeng,

"See what you can do around here?"

Yu Mengmeng rolled up her sleeves and ran over to the bus next door, swiftly starting to take care of three lifeguards.

She actually seemed quite professional, being the gold-medal nurse from the senior home.

Once Hua Mi had settled Yu Mengmeng in, she had just turned around and hadn’t even caught her breath

when she received a text message from Gong Yi,

[Gong Yi: "Why’re you at the emergency area? Sick?"]

[Hua Mi: "No, just visiting a friend. Stop keeping an eye on me. No SOS outside the city?"]

Recently, the number of emergency rescues in Xiang City had been decreasing because anything that could collapse had already done so.

Those that hadn’t collapsed proved their construction quality was genuinely up to standard.

From then on, no matter how much those structures were shaken, they wouldn’t collapse.

Thus, the rescue team’s main efforts and time were focused on searching for survivors outside the city.

[Gong Yi: "How could there not be? Large groups of survivors are walking towards Xiang City, and accidents happen along the way. But I got a promotion, so I don’t have to be personally involved in everything now. Want me to treat you to oranges?"]

His promotion to the Xiang City Garrison Command had been notified well in advance.

It was just that there had been some final handover work in the past few days, so he had still been doing SOS missions outside the city. Now that he was free, he began sending more messages to Hua Mi.

But treating Hua Mi to oranges?

Hua Mi really wanted to punch him.

[Hua Mi: "Thanks, no need, I’ll treat you instead. I’ll have Tang Feng drag over 666 pounds of oranges for you in a bit, to congratulate you on your promotion, 666."]

[Gong Yi: "..."]

At the city gate, Gong Yi was overseeing the repair of the iron barrier in the rain when he took a moment to look down at his phone and smile.

Just then, Tang You came out, dragging a truck full of oranges.

His face was covered in a layer of plastic shell, the result of the hemostatic gel’s reaction after solidifying.

He leaned on the driver’s side window and waved at Gong Yi,

"Boss! Sister Hua told us to drag the oranges to the city gate to sell."

Tang You had been worried that Sister Hua got too many oranges and that they might take a loss, but once he arrived at the city gate, he was relieved.

There wasn’t a single stall here, absolutely no competition.

And the garrison would give them the green light, the difference between setting up a stall inside the city and outside was huge.

Sure enough, Gong Yi waved his hand, and the garrison opened the newly repaired iron barrier, allowing Tang You and Da Fu to go out.

After a while, once Tang You parked the truck full of oranges, he instructed Da Fu to start hanging banners to sell the oranges.

He himself jumped down from the driver’s seat and walked over to Gong Yi, holding out two oranges,

"Boss, want an orange?"

Gong Yi glared fiercely at Tang You and pointed towards a portable cabin next to the iron barrier, Tang You looked in that direction.

An orange-orange rolled out from the crack of the door.

He rolled directly onto the muddy ground.

At the entrance of the prefab house, a QR code was posted, which was the public account of the rescue team.

Beside it, a note was pasted,

"Dealing with Garrison Welfare Oranges, guaranteed sweet, 9.9 yuan each."

Tang You was petrified in the blowing wind, realizing his own naivety.

The reason there was no competitive pressure outside the door was because the Garrison had set up their own stand, not allowing anyone else to go outside the city to set up shop, taking business away from the Garrison...

The next moment, Gong Yi heavily patted Tang You’s shoulder,

"Right, you know the brothers have been having a hard time recently. Since Sister Hua asked you to sell oranges, I’ll give you all the brothers’ Welfare Oranges to trade for some money to help them get by."

Just look at what the garrison was being driven to.

That heartless woman was truly stuffing the garrison supply with oranges every day, giving 100 oranges per person, which was way more than anyone could eat.

So for the past two days, the Garrison at the city gates had been clandestinely selling oranges on the sly.

This had greatly affected the discipline and appearance of the Garrison.

After discovering this, Gong Yi had them stack the oranges in the prefab house; if any survivor wanting to enter the city asked, they could just scan the QR code to take the oranges.

The price was set by referring to Hua Mi’s RV supermarket, at 9.9 yuan per orange, which was a fair price given the current environment.

Tang You blinked in disbelief, the hand on his shoulder felt like an unbearable weight in his life.

However, faced with his boss’s trusting gaze, Tang You still nodded. Alright!

Fortunately, oranges weren’t hard to sell.

Many of those who had trekked through mountains and rivers to Xiang City, especially after the Xiang B Highway had cleared, every survivor from B City was bringing their families and driving towards Xiang City.

Someone stopped their car and, pointing at the banner Da Fu had set up, exclaimed in disbelief:

"Look quickly, Xiang City is really like what they say online, you can buy oranges with money."

The internet had also posted many prices from Xiang City, although there had been a post earlier claiming that the medical supplies sold at the garrison supplies were ludicrously expensive, reaching into the thousands.

The post wasn’t up for long before the public sentiment shifted.

From criticizing the Xiang City Garrison, they switched to praising them.

Really, right now, money is like paper, and with anti-inflammatory drugs going for thousands per pill, the medical supplies from the Xiang City Garrison, always capped at a thousand, were truly a bargain among bargains.

And in the past couple of days, oranges from Xiang City once again surged in the hot search.

Initially, when the oranges were priced at dozens of yuan each, everyone praised them.

These days, ordinary folks couldn’t even see the shadow of fresh fruit, so what was a few dozen yuan for an orange.

As long as it could satisfy their craving, they were willing to pay even a few hundred for an orange.

Later, when the price dropped to 9.9 yuan each, it was almost unbelievable.

The internet was going crazy praising Xiang City.

"Such cheap oranges, are they bad?"

The people in the car got out, looked at Da Fu, and asked:

"The oranges aren’t poisonous, right? They won’t kill you if you eat them?"

Da Fu was a very cheerful little boy, and he peeled one,

"Uncle, look, I’ll eat a slice for you first."

Saying this, he tossed a slice of orange into his mouth, with no issues, didn’t die, didn’t faint, didn’t get diarrhea, no problems at all.

"Really no issues?"

The man standing in front of Da Fu, shocked, waited for a moment, hesitating on whether to buy or not.

Alongside him, there was another survivor who hadn’t entered the city yet, who hastily shouted:

"I’ll buy 1,000, quick, where do I scan the code? My child has been thirsty for four or five days already."

"I want to buy too, you calculate the price per piece, right? I’ll take 500, no, I’ll also take 1,000."
