Chapter 454: 398 Don’t breathe the same air under the sky with her anymore_2
Who’s to blame for all this if not Hua Mi herself? Who else could be blamed?
If she hadn’t provided the opportunity for others to take advantage of, would they have targeted Xiang City Base?
These were words that the Garrison would never say to Hua Mi; they weren’t such senseless people.
All of the Garrison treated each other like siblings, caring for each other as their own children, so hearing such words from that woman made them especially angry.
But they remembered the horrors of postpartum depression and knew to keep such hurtful comments away from Hua Mi.
Hua Mi raised an eyebrow, glancing at the Garrison member who hesitated to speak.
She didn’t need this Garrison member to speak; she understood everything very clearly.
Given her keen hearing, she could make out faint voices from afar.
Her mind was filled with the silent reproaches of many survivors.
The essence of their comments was similar.
It was like blaming a girl who dressed flamboyantly and walked alone on a night road, only to be assaulted, where people questioned why she dressed that way for a night walk—all the same logic.
“Who’s really to blame for Xiang City Base getting shut down? Doesn’t everyone have an idea?…”
Huo Jing was still cursing.
But Hua Mi raised her hand to interrupt him.
She turned emotionlessly to the Garrison, saying,
“The sudden incidents that jeopardized their reunion with family were beyond our control.”
“Commander Gong’s Cloud Mist City Wall, although meant to protect Xiang City, indeed prevented their reunions.”
“We need to set things right, correct our mistakes, and apologize to them.”
Hearing this, Huo Jing opened his mouth anxiously.
“Miss Hua, it’s not like that…”
The Garrison also frowned, shaking his head vehemently.
Why should they apologize, correct their mistakes, and set things right?
What had they done wrong?
If apologies were to be made, they felt that these people should be apologizing to Sister Hua, to Xiang City Base.
The stranded survivors had caused such harm to Sister Hua and even threw a bomb at two innocent children—shouldn’t these stranded survivors be vigorously punished?
Moreover, these stranded survivors had brought chaos to Xiang City Base and added burdens to the Garrison.
The Garrison had been protecting Xiang City Base desperately and tirelessly, and these officials had been maintaining order there day and night—weren’t they tired too?
Simply because these stranded survivors and their families were separated, they vented their conflicts and hatred on two innocent children.
The ones at fault were these radicals, not Xiang City Base.
At this time, both Huo Jing and the Garrison wondered if Hua Mi was suffering from postpartum depression.
She seemed to be speaking nonsensically.
Yet they heard Hua Mi say,
“Since these stranded survivors have such strong opinions against me, if they really want to reunite with their families, then let’s set things straight—let them leave.”
“Nobody said we must forcibly keep them in Xiang City Base.”
“You just follow the list this woman provided, dig into it, and see where it leads. I don’t mind sending all those dug up out of Xiang City Base North.”
“And remember, no matter what these people do in the future, they should never be allowed back into Xiang City Base.”
“After all, there’s someone like me in Xiang City Base, someone they deeply despise—how can they bear to stay here and share the same air that I breathe?”
Hua Mi did not choose to kill the woman who attacked her.
She chose to let her go.
See how kind she was; it was because Hua Mi finally realized her mistake. She wanted to right the wrongs and give those stranded survivors their freedom.
The woman who threw the bomb was named Chen Xiumin.
At the moment, she was detained in a small Garrison camp at Xiang City Base North.
She watched fearfully as two Garrison members entered the tent.
The woman’s gag had already been removed from her mouth, and her emotions seemed to have exhausted.
The emotionally-exhausted Chen Xiumin seemed much calmer now.
At least she started thinking about her current situation with a normal person’s mentality.
Facing the Garrison, she shook her head while shouting,
“What do you want to do with me? You are also Garrison members.”
“The former Garrison was such a great and noble profession, you can’t tarnish the greatness of this profession.”
