Chapter 62: 062 Patience in minor matters leads to the disruption of great plans. “There are simply too many medical supplies here,” Hua Mi thought, as her storage had continually burst at the seams, reaching level 10 storage, yet still not having collected all of the medical supplies, with half left over.
On the vast empty ground, Hua Mi could no longer collect materials because the supporting facilities were not complete.
Because her storage upgrade had been too rapid, but the factory was only at level 7, and the Black Land had only been upgraded to level 4—and the newly expanded 4 square meters of Black Land had not yet been chosen by Hua Mi as a site.
She opened the supermarket panel to take a look and upgraded the factory.
[Level 8 Factory: Mineral water bottles (all sizes), mineral water (all sizes), Waterproof Oilcloth (size 2X1.5M), Self-suction Filtering Particulate Respirator (size: children), Self-suction Filtering Particulate Respirator (size: adults)]
[Limited production: Ethanol X50000, Painkiller X40000, Sterile Gauze X30000, Hemostatic Gel X20000, Protective Goggles X10000]
Level 8 factory could produce more items, and the specifications for mineral water bottles and mineral water were complete, which were now compressed into the next page. The breathing machine was no longer a limited item.
And in the limited production category, it wasn’t medical supplies anymore, but rather an addition of protective goggles.
What were these protective goggles for?
As Hua Mi walked toward the trailer where Ah Fu lay, she produced Protective Goggles X10.
She just wanted to try and see what these protective goggles could do.
Quickly, in less than half a second, Hua Mi got the protective goggles produced by the level 8 factory.
A very beautiful pair of protective goggles, with a cyberpunk style and a strong sense of technology, they emitted light in seven different colors when held in hand.
There were also flashing modes of quick, steady, and slow.
Hua Mi put on the protective goggles and instantly felt a clear view ahead, and despite the rain curtain, she could see far into the distance.
The key was, strands of rain no longer floated into her eyes. They were almost like diving goggles, framing her eyes perfectly without squeezing her sockets or bridge of her nose.
It was like wearing nothing at all.
And no matter how much she ran or jumped, they wouldn’t fall off.
These things were great, in a fight they would prevent an opponent’s blood from splashing into one’s eyes.
Aside from being a bit fancy, there were no other issues.
Hua Mi immediately produced Protective Goggles X9990.
At the same time, she also walked back to the trailer where Ah Fu lay.
Storage couldn’t be upgraded further, even though the factory had been upgraded to level 8, but the Black Land was still too low leveled, currently only at level 4.
So Hua Mi planned to take Ah Fu back to Xiang City first, sell some of the medical supplies in her hands to clear out some stuff from the level 10 storage, then come back to collect the remaining half of the medical supplies.
The only question was, could she teleport with someone else?
No sooner had this thought crossed her mind than Hua Mi and Ah Fu disappeared on the spot.
She teleported back to Lotus Shengxing Supermarket with Ah Fu.
Just after the two had left, two disheveled administrators in suits crawled out from the ruins.
They had learned from the driver’s description that materials had been stranded here.
But after an arduous trek, they arrived to find that half of the medical supplies were gone, and there were several corpses on the ground.
My god, this was a serious accident.
The two administrators, panting heavily, scrambled away from the scene, trembling as they took out their phones and called the headquarters in Xiang City,
“Hello, hello, Commander, it’s bad, something terrible happened, there are a lot of people dead here, and half of the medical supplies are gone, no no no, they’ve mysteriously disappeared half of them…”
Their incoherent descriptions made it difficult to understand what they were saying.
It seemed that a brawl had taken place and some medical supplies had gone missing.
The person on the other end of the line pondered for a moment before hanging up.
This incident quickly spread amongst the entire administrative hierarchy of Xiang City.
Then, soon after, another call came through to Qin Ziran’s cell phone.
Seeing the caller ID, Qin Ziran pushed Fang Xin off his laps and walked to the window with a serious face to answer the call.
The voice that came through the phone sounded very authoritative,
“I’ve reported the issue you raised about Gong Yi, but it’s tricky to deal with him, and now is not a good time.”
“Last time you said you wanted to move up, I have a great opportunity for you. The medical supplies stored outside of Xiang City have been stolen by someone, half of it is gone. Find a way to recover the other half and bring it back to Xiang City, then I can use this opportunity to promote you.”
Hearing this, Qin Ziran, whose clothes were damp enough to almost grow mold, finally cracked a relieved smile.
He suggested with a smile,
“I think the garrison at the emergency center has nothing better to do; they would be a great labor force. Why not let me direct them to bring back the remaining half of the medical supplies as quickly as possible?”
He had already discussed this with Ke Minghong, but for the past few days, Ke Minghong had been mysteriously busy with something.
He hadn’t even come to bother Qin Ziran.
Since Ke Minghong wasn’t being effective, Qin Ziran decided to use the higher-ups’ clout to mobilize the garrison.
Obsessed, he now only wanted to take control of the garrison and get Hua Mi back.
It seemed to him that only by taking control of the garrison and getting Hua Mi back would he prove that he was no less capable than Gong Yi.
Moreover, Qin Ziran could clearly see that at times , it was necessary to have the garrison on his side.
As long as he had the garrison under his control, no matter how the political landscape changed in the future, he wouldn’t have to worry anymore.
The person on the other end of the call, weighing the situation, said,
“You still need to negotiate with the garrison about this. Here’s some news you won’t like: Gong Yi has already been promoted to the command of the Xiang City Garrison. If you want to mobilize the garrison now, you’ll have to discuss it with him.”
This news struck Qin Ziran like a bolt of lightning, slamming him from the skies to the ground.
He had just begun to hope for a promotion, but Gong Yi had managed to rise even faster.
Gong Yi was like Qin Ziran’s nemesis.
Clutching the phone, he promised the higher-ups time and again that he would definitely bring the medical supplies back to Xiang City. Only after the other party hung up did he dare to take the phone away from his ear.
Then he looked out the window with a dark gaze at the rain.
The annoying drizzle made it impossible for him to see the distant scenery. His mood grew as heavy as the dense moisture surrounding him.
Qin Ziran was frustrated. He lifted his hand to brush away his greasy, wet hair and after a long consideration, he made a call to Gong Yi.
Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet; true manhood is being resilient in the face of adversity.
As soon as the call connected, Qin Ziran mentioned the task of mobilizing the Xiang City Garrison to transport the medical supplies from outside the city to Gong Yi.
He considered his tone to be fairly measured.
But Gong Yi cursed outright,
“Have you lost your mind? If the Xiang City Garrison is relocated, are you counting on a few police officers to maintain order? Aren’t you afraid Xiang City will turn into a bloodbath? Get lost, don’t bother me.”
What do you mean the Xiang City Garrison is idle anyway? Idle my ass, without the garrison keeping order in Xiang City, what kind of chaos would ensue?
