Chapter 97: 096 She likes to chat with a knife held at other people’s throats.
Gong Yi hung up the headquarters’ phone.
Sitting in the armored vehicle, he looked up... The mountain of trash before him was split in two, as if by the parting of the seas.
A two-lane road lay between them, muddy but comparably flat against the uneven mounds of garbage.
Could this really be the work of humans?
The driver of the armored vehicle asked Gong Yi for instructions.
"Boss, do we go through?"
"Go!"
Although the scene ahead seemed bizarre, if Hua Mi could get through, why couldn’t Gong Yi?
By crossing over, Gong Yi, fully armed, made it outside B City.
Gong Yi: "..."
The smoothness of it felt eerie.
There were no debris slides obstructing the road, and though there were some small rocks, they were not a big challenge for the armored vehicle.
It was clear that the road ahead had been cleaned by someone.
But just as they reached the outskirts of B City, Gong Yi’s armored vehicle convoy was blocked by traffic. Someone from the Garrison reported through the communications device,
"Boss, survivors on the Xiang B Highway are heading back to B City."
"Boss, someone is selling oranges, breathing machines, mineral water at the entrance to B City..."
No need for further explanations; it was definitely Hua Mi’s doing.
Hua Mi had reached B City earlier than Gong Yi and had already started setting up and trading supplies there.
Gong Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and reached for his mobile phone to call Hua Mi,
"I’m just outside B City; where are you?"
"I’m clearing the road; you do your thing, I’ll do mine, and I’ll call you when I’m free."
On the other end of the phone line, Hua Mi seemed extremely busy and had no intention of meeting Gong Yi.
She concluded the conversation and hung up without ceremony; along with her Clearing Team, she planned to gradually clear the main streets of B City.
The Clearing Team had arrived a bit earlier than Gong Yi because they were originally on the Xiang B Highway. Complying with Hua Mi’s requests, they spent their days pulling a small garbage truck back and forth, clearing rocks off the ground if there was nothing else to do.
The team members were gathering inside B City, where someone curiously asked,
"Miss Hua, why aren’t we helping to clear Xiang City’s management systems but instead come to B City to clean?"
Some had already found it puzzling before— instead of clearing within Xiang City, they went outside to clear the Xiang B Highway.
But since everyone was a relative of Huo Jing and depended on Hua Mi for their livelihood, no one voiced any complaints.
While curious, they dared not hold an opinion.
Hua Mi waved her hand, looking earnestly towards the severely damaged B City,
"Your vision is too small. Isn’t B City also our human homeland? If we don’t sweep B City, how can we clean the whole world?"
"Look, although B City has its professional Clearing Team, their will is not firm. They quickly dispersed in the chaotic world, leaving the city shattered. Only our amateurish team can make it better."
"How great you all are."
They... they just wanted to scrape by; one couldn’t expect too high a level of awareness from them.
But with so much said by Miss Hua, what could they do apart from applauding?
Then, Hua Mi added,
"You clear all roads in B City, small streets and main avenues alike; all the trash goes to B City’s dump. I’ll go there now to take a look."
After giving orders, Hua Mi swiftly ran off.
Having tasted the sweetness at the Xiang City dump, Hua Mi had also set her sights on the B-City dump.
Before heading to the B-City dump, she had to use up all the energy in her level 9 factory.
Thus, along the way, Hua Mi was furiously tapping the control panel of the "Apocalypse Supermarket."
Mineral water, Waterproof Oilcloth, Breathing machine, Orange juice, she produced each at 100,000 units, feeling the energy consumption was not enough, Hua Mi simply spent money to upgrade her level 9 factory to a level 10 factory.
[Level 10 Factory: Water bottles (all sizes), Mineral water (all sizes), Waterproof Oilcloth (all sizes), Self-suction Filtering Particulate Respirator (all sizes), Orange juice (1L), ethanol]
[Limited production: Painkillers x60,000, Sterile gauze x50,000, Hemostatic gel x40,000, Protective goggles x30,000, Condoms x20,000, Half-finished Pickled Fish x10,000]
Seeing this round of limited production items, Hua Mi felt moved and almost wanted to cry.
Finally doing something reliable for once, half-finished Pickled Fish, just perfect for supplementing her, a pregnant woman’s, health.
She produced all 10,000 units, took a pack from the level 12 storage, and started walking while looking at it.
A large packet of Pickled Fish, vacuum-sealed with all the sauces and broth included, just needed to find a pot to heat it up before eating.
Maybe find a place first, deploy a nanny van, heat up the Pickled Fish, have a meal before working some more?
Thinking this, she climbed on top of the ruins, looked left and right, and pushed open a rickety door.
The door swung open, and Hua Mi was stunned.
My heavens... a room full of children.
These children, all filthy with disheveled hair full of dirt, cringed as a stranger burst into their dark world.
Like abandoned kittens, with pairs of innocent and bewildered eyes, they warily watched Hua Mi.
A gun was pressed against Hua Mi’s lower back,
"Don’t move."
Hua Mi didn’t move and asked in a low voice,
"What’s happening here? Why are there so many children?"
The man behind her didn’t answer but reached out and snatched the Pickled Fish from her hands.
After a while, the man asked quietly,
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
His tone was cold, but it didn’t carry any palpable malice or aggression.
Hua Mi asked,
"I come from A City. I’m here to sell supplies. Why are there so many children here? Why don’t you go and grab some supplies?"
She knew before meeting the Clearing Team that survivors were congesting the Xiang B Highway, gradually moving towards B City.
And inside B City, those who couldn’t walk, those without vehicles had already gathered at the city’s entry, grabbing supplies.
There really shouldn’t be so many starving children here.
Looking at those pairs of eyes filled with innocence and fear, Hua Mi slightly smiled.
Suddenly, she spun around, grabbing the gun-wielding wrist of the man behind her. In an instant, a kitchen knife appeared out of nowhere, now held in Hua Mi’s hand.
She placed the kitchen knife on the man’s neck, giving an awkward smile,
"I wanted to look more heroic, but all I had was this kitchen knife—talking like this makes me more comfortable. Let’s just talk this way."
Sorry, but Hua Mi didn’t like having weapons pointed at her when talking; it made her feel like she couldn’t have a proper conversation.
She preferred having the knife held against someone else’s neck while chatting.
In the next moment, Hua Mi stiffened, she saw the police uniform the man was wearing...
