Chapter 192: 190 The niece you often brag about Chapter 192: 190 The niece you often brag about Gong Yi settled Hua Mi and quickly went to Liu Shengyuan’s side. He looked at all the garrison who had just teleported back and were still in a disoriented state, and shouted loudly, “Fall in!!!” The garrison, who had just crawled out from a pile, immediately snapped to attention and formed ranks. Strangely enough, Liu Shengyuan, who had lost both legs and was wreaking havoc around, suddenly quieted down. He turned his head from side to side, still searching for his place in the ranks through the haze of his mind. In a moment, he dragged himself close by, to the front row, first column of the garrison line. Gong Yi’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he said nothing, his cheeks clenched tight. Seeing this scene, Hua Mi suddenly felt a pang of sadness. This was the garrison; those commands were almost etched into their souls. Even in their delirious state, they would still instinctively carry out their duties. She turned away, unable to watch any longer. To divert her attention, Hua Mi took out her phone and called Chi Chuan, “Do you have a way to find a pair of prosthetics?” Chi Chuan was silent for a moment; his keen senses told him that Hua Mi’s question meant the situation was grave. So, unlike his usual playful self, Chi Chuan simply said, “I’ll look into it; these aren’t mass-produced, but they were sold before the disaster.” As long as they were on sale, Chi Chuan would know how to find them. Hua Mi responded earnestly, “Please do it.” “I ought to do it.” Chi Chuan replied solemnly. After hanging up with Chi Chuan, Hua Mi called Huo Jing. She wanted Huo Jing to send someone quickly to repair the light tubes at the Xiang City Observation Tower teleportation point. The teleportation point would be heavily used by the garrison in the future. The splendid light show was designed to prevent people from peeking at those teleporting in and out. But if too many tubes were broken, the many people around could clearly see someone “appearing” at the teleportation point with the naked eye. This did not align with science. Before the term “superpower” became household knowledge, Hua Mi still needed to slightly cover it up. At this time, outside the inner walls of Xiang City, a few men who had been spying for days had finally succeeded in entering the construction team. However, they were assigned by Huo Jing to clear the Xiang A Highway. The men somewhat discontentedly asked Huo Jing, “Why send us to clear the road? This is already far from Xiang City; we don’t want to leave the city.” Actually, they just wanted to work on the outer walls of Lotus Shengxing Supermarket. Their goal was to gain access to the Lotus Shengxing Supermarket. It was said that many fruit trees were planted inside, many people said so. So if they could participate in building the outer wall, they could enter and establish a long-term theft chain to smuggle out the fruits. Huo Jing frowned at them and directly said, “No more people are needed for the wall construction.” Because Hua Mi highly valued the Lotus Shengxing Supermarket supply depot, the workers hired to raise the walls were all from the first batch of laborers brought by the contractor. Most of these first batch laborers were relatives of Huo Jing or the contractor. They included both distant and close relatives. There were also some relatives of relatives. And some who were not their relatives but had worked with the contractor for many years and were completely trustworthy. Here, we do not need irrelevant outsiders. “Why were you just recruiting people to fix the empty space at the city gate then? Why send us to clear the Xiang A Highway? It’s so far, we don’t want to go.” Standing opposite Huo Jing, a man with a pointed face and monkey-like cheeks was full of dissatisfaction. What good comes from clearing the Xiang A Highway? It’s just hard labor, where else could you sneakily earn more? Even if we can’t enter Xiang City to repair the walls, the city gate would also be fine. Since Xiang City couldn’t accommodate so many survivors, the threshold for allowing people into the city had gradually increased. So outside the gates of Xiang City, a large number of survivors had gathered. There were tent groups here as well as small vendors, and the key point was that the garrison was sparse. Sparse garrison means what, huh? It means more fun. Walking through the crowd, if you see a pretty girl, just go and touch her a few times... As long as the garrison doesn’t see, it’s all doable. Moreover, if the environment is broad enough and chaotic, they could even sneak around lazily, just taking supplies without working. Inside Xiang City, there were guards everywhere, making it inconvenient for slacking and entertainment. “Suit yourself, if you don’t want to work, I won’t force you. The project of raising the wall already doesn’t need people.” Huo Jing recognized that these men were not sincere in looking for work. Look at them, one by one, not only are they listless, but they are also as skinny as a rail. Standing there, they looked boneless, leaning to the side. Where would such people get the strength from? Miss Hua isn’t running a charity, and neither is the infrastructure project a charity work. Can you create high-quality infrastructure by just messing around? Huo Jing, who had been honest and straightforward all his life, hated this kind of slippery behavior—people who were not down-to-earth at all. The pointed-faced, monkey-cheeked man couldn’t help but spit and called to the men behind him, “If we don’t work, then let’s go!” There’s not a byte of benefit, just pure hard labor; only fools would do it. Pointed-face, monkey-cheeks man decisively rejected Huo Jing and led his men out of Xiang City. They just met Fang Huai standing outside the city. Below the observation tower, the light show was extremely beautiful; Fang Huai, along with those who enjoyed the spectacle, stretched their necks and their eyes were filled with brilliant lights. Thus, the pointed-face, monkey-cheeks man cursed loudly, “Damn it, Fang Huai, just my bad luck to run into you today. When are you going to pay me back the money and supplies?” Then, his gaze shifted, and he said to Fang Huai, “Doesn’t your daughter have some charm? If not, just add your often-boasted niece into the deal, it’s fine if she goes out to sell as well.” “I’m telling you, if you do not pay back our money and supplies soon, you can forget about having your hands.” They all knew, Fang Huai was Hua Mi’s uncle. Because whenever Fang Huai lost a gamble, he would emphasize he was Hua Mi’s uncle. They were to seek payment and supplies from Hua Mi. But with Hua Mi being like a Divine Dragon, elusive until needed, even if they wanted to find Hua Mi, it wasn’t necessarily possible. And Hua Mi was actually the behind-the-scenes owner of the RV supermarket. According to unreliable information, today they had planned to infiltrate an orchard that also had some connection with Hua Mi. Since Fang Huai had such a well-connected niece, wouldn’t forcing Hua Mi out be better than trying to sneak into the wall repair project? Fang Huai, since being driven out of Xiang City, had always had bad luck. He lost in nine out of ten bets. Threatened by the pointed-face, monkey-cheeks man, he cursed his own misfortune inwardly. How could he just watch a spectacle and end up being seen by a debt collector? However, he glanced around and saw Hua Mi walking over from the vicinity of the light show.
