Chapter 260: What to Buy for the Garrison in C City 258? Hua Mi, supporting her waist and protruding pregnant belly, quickly walked down from the snowy mountain and arrived at the entrance of the supply depot. Zhong Zimo led a group of people who had also set up a tent at the entrance of the supply depot. They held various tools in their hands. Upon seeing Hua Mi approaching, Zhong Zimo put down the book in his hand and greeted her, “I didn’t expect Mrs. Gong to be here too.” He had gone to Xiang City with Ma Yongchun, so naturally, he knew Hua Mi. Hua Mi raised an eyebrow and said to Zhong Zimo, “I heard you are planning to exchange supplies with D City?” “Yes,” Zhong Zimo’s eyes twinkled, “I hope Mrs. Gong could be lenient.” “C City’s supplies are still manageable, but D City still has many survivors stranded. Now with the heavy snow sealing the city, the survivors there reportedly have a hard time.” He said this, watching Hua Mi’s reaction, and asked with a smile, “Mrs. Gong, are you also here for supplies?” “Actually, we are all people, the Xiang City People are people, C City People are people, D City People are also people, right, Mrs. Gong?” Hua Mi looked at him squarely, slightly furrowing her brow; in fact, she also didn’t understand what Zhong Zimo was implying. Just like her and Zhou Cheng, she could clearly feel there was a deeper meaning in Zhong Zimo’s words. But she just couldn’t figure out what Zhong Zimo meant. While pondering, Hua Mi listened to Zhong Zimo talk for quite a while before she finally understood. Zhong Zimo kept saying that D City People are also people, and they need supplies too. He was asking Hua Mi to be lenient. Was this moral coercion on Hua Mi? Because she was heavily pregnant, Hua Mi felt tired from standing for too long, so she directly said to the incessantly talking Zhong Zimo, “This matter is easy to discuss, just have the D City Administration Commander come to me. If he wants food and drinks, just pay me.” “I have no intention of blocking anyone’s supplies; I welcome anyone who comes to me to trade.” Hua Mi’s sincere words left Zhong Zimo momentarily speechless. He adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, “Mrs. Gong, what I mean to say is, regarding this supply depot, could you not be so controlling? After all, your supplies are already plentiful, and the survivors of C City and D City also need food, drinks, and cotton clothes for the winter.” This made Hua Mi burst out laughing, “I’m here because of the cooperation contract signed with Qin Zhen. How did it become me not letting go?” “The ownership of the supplies in this depot should be a matter between you and Miss Qin. Until your issues are clearly resolved, I’m just following the contract.” “These hundred tons of fabric, not a single ounce less belongs to me, as I also need the fabric to start making cotton clothes, which is also saving lives.” Seeing that Zhong Zimo wanted to speak, Hua Mi raised her hand to interrupt him, “Secretary Zhong, it’s pointless to always argue about this; shouldn’t the most important thing to do now be to jointly guard against someone coming to continue raiding this supply depot?” Such a large batch of supplies is too tempting for the survivors. Nobody believes that Brother Fen and his group being trapped would just lead Chen Hu to sit by helplessly. Actually, the most important thing to do now is still to guard the supply depot. Zhong Zimo still wanted to say something, but Zhou Cheng hurried over. He quickly said to Hua Mi, “There’s a group of about 500 people coming, equipped with firearms.” Brother Fen and the others hidden in the supply depot hadn’t died; they wanted to come out. The people outside wanted the supplies inside the depot, so rescue was inevitable. Hua Mi looked up at the dark gray snowy sky, nodded, and said to Zhou Cheng, “Commander Zhou, I want to make a deal with you.” As she spoke, she pulled Zhou Cheng aside, away from Zhong Zimo’s hearing, and discussed selling him 10,000 AK47s, 10,000 PKMs, and 10,000 Gatlings. Zhou Cheng had 1,500 Garrison soldiers at his disposal. He gaped, snowflakes drifting into his open mouth, “Sister Hua, although I’m handsomer than Brother Yi, you can’t just pilfer his armory like this.” His first thought was whether Sister Hua was planning to divorce Gong Yi—was she secretly selling off Gong Yi’s assets here? Speaking of which, where did Brother Yi get these 30,000 weapons from? Brother Yi’s resources were surprisingly abundant. Zhou Cheng was fiercely envious and jealous. Hua Mi rolled her eyes at Zhou Cheng. With one hand on her waist and the other on her baby bump, “I see you’ve only got a handful of people and a few guns, which just looks pitiful. Soon 300, then 500 enemies will show up.” “Gong Yi can’t stay here to protect you forever. You’ll still have to guard this supply depot even if he leaves.” Moreover, right now Zhou Cheng was only dealing with people. If varied mutated plants and animals showed up in the future, these 30,000 weapons would probably not be enough. Mainly, there wouldn’t be enough bullets. Seeing Zhou Cheng’s eager face, Hua Mi continued, “Don’t worry, Gong Yi is well-stocked. Selling 30,000 weapons to you won’t bankrupt him.” Hearing this, Zhou Cheng nodded frantically. In City C’s armory, there were quite a lot of weapons, but still not as many as 10,000 AK47s, 10,000 PKMs, and 10,000 Gatlings. He rubbed his hands and asked Hua Mi nervously, “How much for all these?” He was very poor now. Ever since Ma Yongchun and Qin Zhen had fallen out, they had stopped paying the Garrison of City C. Because City C’s reserve fund account was in Ma Yongchun’s hands. Qin Zhen, unable to access the money, had used the goods from City C’s supply depot to convert into salaries for Zhou Cheng’s Garrison. Understanding Zhou Cheng’s difficulties, “Just bring whatever resources you can find, and we can convert them into money. I know you Garrison are often patrolling outside, always finding some ownerless warehouses.” “I accept all kinds of resources.” From gold bars and jewelry to toilet paper and sanitary pads, Hua Mi accepted all. Zhou Cheng agreed instantly, “Alright, just yesterday one of the brothers I have stationed in City C mentioned discovering a warehouse full of saline solution. I’ll have it all brought here for you.” The deal was struck, and Hua Mi and Zhou Cheng high-fived. Then Hua Mi made a call to Shi Caixia. Under the distant gaze of Zhong Zimo, she called Shi Caixia over. Qin Zhen had assigned Shi Caixia to Hua Mi, so of course, Hua Mi was going to make full use of her and had Shi Caixia draft a contract. In the heavy snow, Shi Caixia awkwardly, under the gaze of Zhong Zimo, approached Hua Mi and Zhou Cheng. She really didn’t want to face Zhong Zimo in such a setting. Although they were boyfriend and girlfriend, it was best to avoid such interactions when representing opposing interests. Zhong Zimo, his deep eyes hidden behind his glasses, took the initiative to approach. He looked at Hua Mi, then at Zhou Cheng and Shi Caixia, Finally, Zhong Zimo was the first to speak up, asking Hua Mi, “Mrs. Gong, what is this about?” He didn’t know why Hua Mi had called his girlfriend over. But his girlfriend, like him, studied law. Was there a contract to be drafted between Hua Mi and Zhou Cheng? What could City C Garrison possibly want to buy?
