Chapter 405: 382 Xiang City destroyed, everyone died
Huo Jing, shouldering cement, asked curiously, “Uncle, why don’t you run away?”
“If I ran away, wouldn’t Miss Hua get mad after giving birth?”
President Bao rolled his eyes at Huo Jing.
He was truly Miss Hua’s number one lackey.
The so-called number one lackey must share the worries and joys of Miss Hua.
Although the Contractor was scared to death, he knew more than anything that the ultimate role of a lackey was to please his master with his own life.
The top lackey Contractor grinned at Huo Jing and said,
“Don’t worry, after this, Miss Hua will definitely value me more.”
Huo Jing followed the Contractor, unloaded the cement, and then ran back behind him to carry more.
He asked, “What if you die?”
“If you died, Miss Hua valuing you wouldn’t matter.”
The Contractor rolled his eyes at Huo Jing again, made a crossing gesture over his chest, and while running, he clasped his hands together,
“How could I possibly die? I have Miss Hua’s protection.”
Saying that, he proudly pulled out a gold necklace from his neck.
The pendant on the necklace was a palm-sized disc, inlaid with a large portrait of Hua Mi.
This was the Contractor’s protective amulet.
He flaunted the palm-sized gold pendant to Huo Jing.
“See, Miss Hua will bless me, I definitely won’t die.”
“It’s you, without Miss Hua’s divine protection, this dangerous place isn’t suitable for you, you better leave quickly.”
Huo Jing was speechless at the Contractor’s delusional lackey behavior.
He stopped communicating with the Contractor and just focused on carrying cement.
After all, the thoughts of the Contractor could not be understood by the logic of a normal person.
When someone flatters to the extreme, they become like the Contractor.
He wasn’t just buttering up Hua Mi; he was treating her as his life’s belief.
At that moment, a few women standing nearby also moved.
They originally wanted to leave Xiang City Base West.
But seeing Cao Feng and others in their Garrison combat attire stubbornly holding out beyond the third line of defense,
And Huo Jing and the Contractor going back and forth, carrying dozens of bags of cement,
Some women found it impossible to leave.
So, they actively joined the team of Huo Jing and Cao Feng in carrying cement.
Let’s build the wall, might as well.
After all, if Xiang City Base West were breached, their fate would be the same—death.
Where else could they retreat?
Could retreating into Xiang City Base ensure that zombies wouldn’t infiltrate there?
Someone had to build up the wall.
Someone had to protect Xiang City Base West.
The men who were ready to leave and were also building the wall saw the women starting to move.
Those men couldn’t help spitting on the ground.
Confused, one man grabbed a woman’s arm and asked,
“At this time, you aren’t running but still carrying cement here?”
The woman shrugged off the man’s arm and sneered bitterly,
“Of course, you can run—you can go to E City Base, F City, or any place you want.”
“But we only have Xiang City Base left, understand? Just Xiang City Base.”
Don’t think since they were always inside Xiang City Base, they had no idea how broken the lives of women outside were.
They clearly understood what fate awaited them once they left Xiang City Base.
Today, if they protect Xiang City Base, they could still live like human beings; if it falls, they would perish with Xiang City Base.
Anyways, the fate of the women who left would be worse than death.
It was better to contribute their own strength to possibly increase Xiang City’s chances of survival.
The women swiftly began to act.
A child cried at the site, and a woman took off her protective gloves to wipe the tears from the child’s face.
She gently said to the frightened child,
“Don’t cry, let’s work, you’re with mommy.”
The child reached out his small, dirty hands and hugged his mother’s neck.
“Mommy, if we don’t run now, will we be eaten by these zombies?”
