Chapter 261: 259 We are destined to meet but not fated to be together. I have to say, Zhong Zimo’s ability to rise to such a height was inseparable from his sharpness. He had sharply noticed that the garrison in C City was rapidly disengaging from the C City management hierarchy. Hua Mi wore a forced smile, “No worries, just asking Xiaxia to help draft a contract.” After saying this, Hua Mi waved her hand, “You guys go ahead, I’ll take a walk.” She was going to meet those 500 people who were coming. Weapons, as long as one is a human being, one would want them. Especially in the current environment, having a weapon in hand could rob countless supplies. Therefore, before calling Shi Caixia, Hua Mi had said it was a top-secret contract, known only to you, me, and Zhou Cheng. As soon as Hua Mi left with a fake smile, Zhong Zimo’s gaze fell on Shi Caixia. His expression was ambiguous, and Shi Caixia, behind her beer-bottle glasses, also had an unclear expression. Both were top students, unable to discern anything from each other’s faces. Zhou Cheng, caught between Zhong Zimo and Shi Caixia, was about to speak when Zhong Zimo smiled tenderly and said to Shi Caixia, “I was thinking, I have returned to C City, and you are in Xiang City, wondering when we would meet again, but I didn’t expect to see you so soon.” In the swirling snow, the former lovers faced each other. Shi Caixia’s face showed visible emotion, but her lips moved without uttering a word. Therefore, Zhong Zimo continued, “Have you been well recently? I send you messages, and you reply only once or twice out of ten times. Are you busy?” Shi Caixia: “It’s okay, there is a lot going on with Miss Qin.” Zhong Zimo: “What are you so busy with? Don’t you even have time to reply to your boyfriend’s messages? You came to C City with Mrs. Gong and didn’t tell me. If I knew earlier, I could have taken some time to see you.” Shi Caixia did not speak, what was she busy with? She definitely would not reveal a single word. Shi Caixia knew the capabilities of Zhong Zimo, and just by uttering a word, he could deduce the whole truth through inference. A top-secret contract, anyone with a bit of professional ethics wouldn’t disclose it. Seeing this, Zhong Zimo sighed with a sense of lamentation, “You’ve become more professional now, but I miss the old you.” He was about to say more, but Zhou Cheng, caught between them, interrupted directly, “I say, what’s the situation with you two now?” Zhou Cheng turned his head, shocked and saddened, looking at Shi Caixia, “Xiaxia, you have a boyfriend? And your boyfriend is just a weakling?” Look at him, a strong and powerful man, in what way is he inferior to Zhong Zimo, that weakling? Zhou Cheng felt he had lost in love. His internal sorrow turned into rivers, desperately seeking someone to drown his sorrows with alcohol. Shi Caixia glared at Zhou Cheng, who probably had already played out 999 episodes of melodramatic soap opera in his mind. She had no time to deal with Zhong Zimo and simply dragged Zhou Cheng away, “Stop wasting time, let’s quickly go draft the contract.” At that moment, within the heavy falling snow, Hua Mi, all alone, was running against the wind and snow. Before she could meet those 500 people, gunfire rang out from ahead; a fight had already begun. Hua Mi, pointing towards the white snow, rushed forward and patted the garrison lying in ambush in the snow, sniping at the approaching 500 people, “Brother, what’s the situation?” The garrison lying in the snow jumped in fright, turning his head back and looking in panic at Hua Mi, who he didn’t realize was standing behind him. “Uh...” Looking at Hua Mi’s stomach, the garrison soldier caught on, “Sister Hua, these supplies are from the raid, and they all have heavy firepower. Commander Zhou means for us to snipe at the front line and wear down some of their combat ability.” Hua Mi nodded and pointed to the stack of Gatlings behind her, “Switch to this and take them down.” “Feel free to use it; Commander Zhou has bought these for you.” Her accounting was clear; there were ten snipers, all positioned at the forefront near the supply depot. She issued each of them 20 Gatlings, enough to deplete most of the firepower from those 500 adversaries. As the garrison soldier still stood there dumbfounded, Hua Mi dragged a Gatling from behind, “First, arrange to distribute the Gatlings; I’ll hold them off.” “Hold off what?...” The garrison soldier in the snowy field just couldn’t grasp it. It was too much information all at once. Hua Mi didn’t give him any time to react, with a gun in one hand and her pregnant belly, she charged towards those 500 opponents. The thrumming noise of gunfire started. She didn’t even check if she was aiming at anyone, just bursting fire. The snipers in the snow looked completely baffled. How were they supposed to aim under these conditions? Fortunately, the Gatlings were distributed quickly, and they didn’t bother with much else, discarding their sniper rifles for Gatlings and sprinting forward. The snipers turned shock troops. The seamless change was only a matter of what weapon they held. With ten garrison soldiers, each wielding a Gatling, along with Hua Mi, actually the remaining snipers didn’t even manage to kill a single person by the end. A field full of bodies lay, none had made it to the entrance of the supply depot. Zhou Cheng sat opposite Shi Caixia, waiting for her to draft the contract, while fidgeting with a garrison-grade wireless headset. He was still very nervous, as Gong Yi had gone to reverse track and eliminate Brother Fen’s stronghold. The depot was left with just Zhou Cheng to guard. Although Zhou Cheng had 1500 soldiers under his command, most were stationed inside C City to maintain order, leaving only about fifty at the depot. Thus, it would be a battle of the few against the many. He placed his ten snipers at the very front, hoping they could take down as many enemies as possible. Along the way, he had set layers of firepower waiting for those 500 men when they reached the entrance of the supply depot, where a fierce battle awaited them. As Shi Caixia dictated each clause, she gradually noticed Zhou Cheng’s distracted state. Thus, Shi Caixia sighed and asked Zhou Cheng, “Commander Zhou, are you noting everything I am saying? This concerns your interests, shouldn’t you pay attention?” Zhou Cheng grimaced, “I’m heartbroken; why should I listen to you talking?” Plus, his mind wasn’t even on the contract; he was gearing himself up mentally for the battle. Shi Caixia, irritated by Zhou Cheng’s love-struck antics, slapped the table, “Commander Zhou, could you please take this seriously?” Lost love? Zhou Cheng hadn’t even been in love; how could he be heartbroken? Just then, a garrison soldier rushed into the tent, gun in hand, “Report, up front, up front...” Before he could finish, Zhou Cheng swiftly stood up, picking up a gun nearby, “Xiaxia, don’t feel guilty, having a boyfriend isn’t your fault. We were just not meant to be... forget me.” He courageously rushed to join a fierce battle, his fate uncertain, hoping to leave Xiaxia with the image of a tragic yet noble man.
