Chapter 385: 375 is giving birth while being involved in a gunfight_2
As well as explaining how they oversimplified problems and viewed the world too naïvely.
But what could one do when they recognized their mistakes?
Not everyone had a chance to start over like Hua Mi.
Life was only given once; a single misstep could lead to an irreversible disaster.
Those survivors heading to E City should accept their initial unswerving resolve.
Everyone had to pay for their actions.
Cao Feng nodded, standing in front of Hua Mi, and said in a low voice,
“I understand, Sister Hua, I won’t act impulsively.”
Garrisoning was humanity’s last line of defense, which was undeniable.
However, there was a distinction between primary and secondary lines.
Cao Feng couldn’t possibly leave such a significant Xiang City Base undefended to send troops for a rescue in E City.
With E City so far from Xiang City Base, their departure would immediately plunge the base into a defense crisis.
No matter how thick the power grid or high the walls were, it was always risky for Xiang City Base.
Cao Feng wasn’t that foolish.
Having received Cao Feng’s assurance, Hua Mi finally felt relieved.
She looked at the bustling construction of the western city wall, unaware of how many were Chen Hu’s and Qu Shiheng’s men.
According to the information received by Chi Chuan, people entered Xiang City Base daily, acquired “Energy Water Drops,” and then took them out of the city in batches.
Where these “Energy Water Drops” ended up could not be traced.
Even under such critical circumstances, knowing that E City harbored ill intentions towards Xiang City Base.
And fully aware that Chen Hu wished for her death, Hua Mi was powerless…
She silently seethed, raising her hand to touch her swollen belly, then turning to Chi Chuan, she said,
“Spread the word that Xiang City Base won’t produce ‘Energy Water Drops’ in large quantities before I give birth.”
If there were still people smuggling ‘Energy Water Drops’ out to E City under such circumstances, it only proved that Xiang City had an abundance of them.
The people of Xiang City were no longer treasuring them.
“Besides, I will inspect the progress of the project on the west side daily and resolve whatever I can.”
Next, Hua Mi again instructed the Contractor to lay several more layers of the power grid and to make the walls even sturdier.
Time was of the essence; shortly after Hua Mi finished speaking, the garrison reported a small-scale zombie purge on the west side.
Cao Feng raised his hand and led the west side garrison, rushing towards the direction of the power grid.
Gunshots rang out, and Hua Mi, standing in place, listened with a grim expression.
She turned to Qin Zhen and said,
“Prepare yourself, this wave of zombies won’t be easily eliminated.”
Hearing the continuous gunfire, Hua Mi knew the problem was serious.
Cao Feng had indeed fallen into a trap in Xiang City West as she had predicted, leaving only Superpower Users and ordinary survivors to fend for themselves.
She turned around, upgraded her factory, and refreshed the ranking of the Garbage Recycling Station.
She created dozens of sweeping robots.
Hua Mi deployed all these sweeping robots to the west side of Xiang City.
These sweeping robots would enter the Zombie Tide, automatically clear the zombie corpses, and collect Crystal Cores.
These Crystal Cores would be stored in Hua Mi’s warehouse.
And not used directly.
Cao Feng, as Hua Mi said, fell into a trap laid by the western zombies, leading his team from morning till night.
By midnight, the incoming zombies from the west didn’t decrease but instead increased in number.
One layer of the power grid was demolished, but the Contractor, commanding the workers, reinforced it with ten more layers behind the last grid.
The Factory Director also brought truckloads of lime-stone gelled with ‘Energy Water Drops’ to the west side.
The generator clanked loudly; in Xiang City, there was enough electricity.
Hua Mi returned to the medical center and had just lain down when she heard some noise outside.
The nurse, Tu Lijia, responsible for taking care of Hua Mi, thought it was someone coming for a routine check.
She got up to open the door.
But Hua Mi called out to her, “Wait a moment…”
Before she could finish, the door to the ward was kicked open.
The person outside held two guns and began firing several shots into the room.
As the outside gunman fired, Hua Mi had already reached Tu Lijia’s side, pulling her away from the bullets.
The assassin outside lowered his gun, looking at the empty bed, just as he began to search for where Hua Miren might be.
