Chapter 274: 273 Your plan requires my participation Vivid red, scalding blood turned the white snow red. All around were people in panic. Hua Mi held a watermelon knife, a foot long, and turned around in place amidst the chaos, belly protruding. She tried to pick out the accomplice who had used a bomb at the city’s gate from these screaming, running people. After one round, she did not find anyone suspicious. Meanwhile, the garrison had sealed the area, moving the survivors to safety, with the medical garrison attending to the wounded. Cao Feng was busy to the point of distraction in the emergency area and probably wouldn’t have time to come to the city gate any time soon. Hua Mi shook her head and called over a garrison commander, “Notify all Xiang City garrison, keep the iron nets around Xiang City secure, close Xiang City, no one enters or exits except for Chi Chuan’s supply personnel.” The Xiang City garrison commander immediately took up the order. They were Gong Yi’s garrison, but with Commander Gong absent, listening to Sister Hua was certainly the right choice. Hua Mi moved to the observation tower after sealing off the entirety of Xiang City. Xiang City had been expanding without ever constructing city walls. Hua Mi had never considered that zombies and mutated flora and fauna would emerge so soon. She pondered, constructing the city walls might have to wait for several more years. Thus, the city wall of Xiang City had always been the iron net pulled by the garrison. Wanting to cut through the iron nets to enter or exit Xiang City was an all too simple matter. Hua Mi pinched her brow and poured a whole tower’s worth of cement into the observation tower. All produced from the level 18 factory. She then phoned the contractor to have him build a wall outside Xiang City, to extend the perimeter a bit larger, at least 10 meters high. The cement was hauled from the observation tower, as quickly as possible. The contractor on the other end of the phone responded and then sighed, “Sister Hua, I don’t mean to argue, but building a temporary wall in Xiang City now is too late, those ruthless killers won’t stay in Xiang City long.” Hua Mi huffed, “Of course, I know that this iron net is practically useless now.” “No worries, we still need to proceed with the constructions intended for the future.” After hanging up the phone with the contractor, Hua Mi had barely caught her breath when a report came from the garrison. Someone had cut the iron net and escaped outside Xiang City. “The bomb at the city gate was just a smoke bomb to distract the garrison’s attention.” “Sister Hua, actually, that group of killers has already escaped the city with a child.” “These people truly are desperate, using a human life to draw fire; that’s too ruthless.” Their retreat route was flawless, undoubtedly professional hired killers. Hua Mi’s face stiffened as she followed the reporting garrison to inspect the cut iron net. At this point, there was actually no trace of the people left. Considering their professional retreat methods, it was quite difficult for the garrison to track them. Hua Mi supported her waist, turning to the garrison beside her, “Call Liu Shengyuan back.” As a Power Superpower User, Liu Shengyuan had primarily been outside Xiang City seeking revenge against Chen Hu and aiding the oppressed. Now, with such a difficult group of killers appearing in Xiang City and Gong Yi having more important matters to attend to, only the Power Superpower User Liu Shengyuan was left to hold fort in Xiang City. Then, Hua Mi expressionlessly pulled out a basket of “Energy Condensed Beads.” These “Energy Condensed Beads,” larger than the cod liver oil-sized “Energy Water Beads,” resembled round, rolling marbles. The color was more golden. The texture was harder; it felt like a small bouncy ball when squeezed. Hua Mi handed the basket of Energy Condensed Beads to the hastily arriving Cao Feng, “Arrange for each member of the Xiang City Garrison to eat one, and have everyone carry ten.” Cao Feng was stunned for a moment before nodding. He didn’t ask what these were. He had seen Liu Shengyuan with a bottle of similar colored items. However, Liu Shengyuan’s was liquid. Cao Feng took the basket of Energy Condensed Beads and was about to leave when Hua Mi turned to go; he quickly asked, “Sister Hua, where are you going?” Amid the snowstorm, Hua Mi waved her hand, “I’m going to find Qin Zhen.” Qin Jianqiang was Qin Zhen’s son; that group had persistently kidnapped him, targeting Qin Zhen. At this moment, it was actually enough to follow Qin Zhen. Qin Zhen had received a call from Ma Yongchun. He was consoling Qin Zhen on the phone, “Don’t worry, I’ll find the child, just be at ease.” Inside the RV, Qin Zhen had just received a message from an unknown number. The message contained instructions to immediately remove Zhou Cheng from the supply warehouse. She sneered and said to Ma Yongchun on the phone, “Weren’t you saying it wasn’t Ma Zhixuan’s doing? Very nice, your brother really has made something of himself.” “How come I never realized before, your brother is quite the troublemaker?” On the other end of the phone, Ma Yongchun was in a somber mood, and after a long while, he said, “I’m sorry, I will resolve this, I will explain everything to you.” Qin Zhen retorted, “An explaination from you? Do you know how many people have died in Xiang City this time? I went to the emergency area; just among the medical staff, over a dozen had been killed.” “There were also innocent patients and pregnant women, some died and dozens were seriously injured, while more than forty suffered minor injuries.” “Bombs even appeared at the city gate, the number of dead and injured from that is still unknown; they haven’t even been accounted for.” “Ma Yongchun, what is the use of you explaining to me? What use is it?” She yelled over the phone, each yell accusing Ma Yongchun of harboring a disaster. Speechless, Ma Yongchun remained silent; with each word that Qin Zhen uttered, it felt like a sharp knife stabbing deeply into his heart. Unable to respond, he slowly hung up the phone, and then Ma Yongchun called Ma Zhixuan. Ma Zhixuan answered. Ma Yongchun’s voice was low; as he wiped the switchblade in his hands, he said to Ma Zhixuan, “What you did this time was right, to force Qin Zhen to hand over the supply warehouse; we only have to threaten her with her and my child. I was wrong before as an elder brother.” “As an elder brother, I always treated you like a child and never acknowledged you; it was my fault. Zhixuan, can you forgive me?” His words softened Ma Zhixuan’s heart; he sniffed over the phone, “Brother, don’t say that. You raised me, and even though you never acknowledged me, I am grateful to you in my heart.” “The kid is actually fine now. If we move on him, as long as Qin Zhen is willing to give up the supply warehouse and let those people take their anger out on Zhou Cheng, they will return the child to you.” Ma Zhixuan also knew this child shared the Ma Family bloodline, so unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t harm the child’s life. In the heavy snow, Ma Yongchun looked up at the falling white, clenching the switchblade in his hand, “Your plan needs my participation, after all, I’m the Commander of C City. I can mobilize more resources than you can.” “Zhixuan, where are you now? I’ll come to you, and also take a look at my child.”
