Chapter 279: 278 stop running around on the highway Huo Jing quickly managed to get some firecrackers and a red ribbon for the opening ceremony. Just by setting off the firecrackers and cutting the ribbon, Hua Mi received the following notice: [Construction Project: Straw Matting Weaving Factory Completed] [Rating: Primary Construction Project] [Received 17 square meters of Black Land. Please designate a location for Black Land.] [Won 1 lottery draw] [19 lottery draws remaining] [15 lottery draws remaining] With that, Hua Mi had claimed 17 square meters of Black Land. She called Huo Jing over, satisfied, and handed him a stack of [Xiang City Observation Tower], [C City Material Warehouse] Teleportation Tickets. Then she let Huo Jing read the instructions on the back of the tickets by himself. Without waiting for Huo Jing to react, Hua Mi asked for his car keys, jumped into his car, and drove off. At that moment, Tang You received a message and hurried over, asking Hua Mi in the car, “Sister Hua, what brings you here?” “I just came to check on things.” Hua Mi started the car and gestured backward with her finger, pointing at the Material Warehouse of B City behind her, and whispered to Tang You, “I’ve placed a batch of White Phosphorus Bombs and [Xiang City Observation Tower] Teleportation Tickets in this warehouse. Make sure no one finds out.” “If anyone threatens this place, just deal with them harshly.” With that, Hua Mi drove away, leaving a cloud of dust behind. Tang You was left standing there, confused about what kind of bombs? Where did Sister Hua get such contraband? No one answered Tang You’s questions. Hua Mi drove swiftly away from the Material Warehouse of B City, heading straight to the outskirts of B City. B City, too, had its share of survivors, now protected by Garrison Commander Fang Yuqi. Hua Mi got out of the car at the gate of B City, which had fewer survivors outside compared to Xiang City. But it was still bustling, thanks to the daily efforts of all survivors to clear the snow. Although the city was in ruins, with further development, it would make a decent supply station for the outside survivors. Hua Mi placed 1 square meter of Black Land at the gate of B City. Then, she drove non-stop towards the Xiang A Highway. A City was not considered for placement of a teleportation point as it had long collapsed into ruins, now likely buried deep under the snow. However, there was a once-abandoned villa complex beside the Xiang A Highway. Oh, it shouldn’t be referred to as the abandoned villa complex anymore, it should be called: A. Tomson Superior Villa District. See, just the name sounds grand. This name was coined by Qin Zhen, although the A. Tomson Superior Villa District merely had basic amenities like water and electricity hooked up, whitewashed walls, and leveled floors. But the houses here had all been sold out. Many wealthy people and even middle-high class individuals from Xiang City, A City, B City, and C City had bought properties here. Many had already moved in. It was said that they had invested a good deal of money into the Contractor’s construction team, wanting to have their homes renovated. They also wanted to build a surrounding wall outside the A. Tomson Superior Villa District. The Contractor had discussed this project plan with Hua Mi. Hua Mi had already agreed. During her visit outside the A. Tomson Superior Villa District, she also set up a teleportation point here. After all, wealthy people can boost consumption, and with consumption comes the need for human and material resources. Chi Chuan’s Transport Team would often come here to sell supplies in the future. After setting up two teleportation points, Hua Mi finally drove back to Xiang City. When she arrived in Xiang City, the sky had already brightened, but the heavy snow showed no sign of stopping. Chi Chuan had already gathered all of his pals below him, waiting at the Xiang City Observation Tower. At first glance, there was a densely packed crowd of people, not two thousand, then definitely more than a thousand. Seeing Hua Mi step out from the dazzling lights, Chi Chuan rushed forward, beaming with a smile, “Sister Hua, as per your instructions, I brought all of my people here.” Among them were even Ge Chuling and Wu Shigao. Hua Mi looked at the densely packed crowd ahead and frowned, asking Chi Chuan, “How many pals do you have? Why are there so many people?” “Hey, what can I say, pals introduce pals? From all around, we are all sworn brothers.” Chi Chuan, dressed in a bulky coat, had a face that showed he was used to this, “The people here are all that I could trim down again and again, I didn’t dare recruit recklessly.” Currently, Xiang City was bursting with people, and there was no worry about hiring. But Chi Chuan’s Transport Team was notoriously hard to join. Transporting goods, if you bring in some miscreants, who is responsible when materials go missing? Hence, although Chi Chuan had pals all over, he was careful about this aspect. Hua Mi patted Chi Chuan’s shoulder appreciatively and spoke to him about Vasily. In the Observation Tower, Chi Chuan was speechless for a long while before he finally slapped his thigh, “The best to strike, the most lucrative, that would be our Transport Team, alas Mama, Sister Hua, you must protect us.” He didn’t feel even a bit embarrassed, a grown man, seeking protection from a pregnant woman. Hua Mi smiled at him and pulled out a snake-skin bag from behind. She signaled for Chi Chuan to open it, inside was a snake-skin bag full of Teleportation Tickets. Hua Mi said, “Inside there are Teleportation Tickets for [Xiang City. Observation Tower], [Tomson Superior Villa District. A], [B City. Supply Depot], [B City. City Gate], [C City. Supply Depot], figure out yourself how to distribute them.” “Starting today, your transport squad should no longer be running around on the highway, use Teleportation Tickets for delivering goods.” All these teleportation points were within the range of the garrison’s firepower, even if Vasily intended to rob, he would have to pay with his life. Chi Chuan hesitantly looked at the full snake-skin bag of tickets. He really wanted to ask what these “Teleportation Tickets” were used for. But he was afraid that asking would show his ignorance. Perhaps it was better not to ask... Just as Chi Chuan was hesitating, Hua Mi had already turned and left the Observation Tower. She was going to find Qin Zhen. Qin Zhen was outside the emergency area, Shi Caixia accompanying her, taking Qin Jianqiang back to the incubator again. Xin Qiuru had organized a few doctors, originally preparing to perform a rescue operation. Turns out, Qin Jianqiang just had a fever. Aside from the fever, there were no other symptoms. By the time Hua Mi arrived, Xin Qiuru and the other doctors had already left. They left behind a nurse to monitor Qin Jianqiang’s condition at all times. Seeing Hua Mi come over, Shi Caixia stood up, “Ah Mi.” After the greeting, Shi Caixia’s gaze shifted beyond Hua Mi. Zhong Zimo, with a group of C City administrators, had arrived. Beneath his arm was a stack of files, he spoke officially to Qin Zhen, “Miss Qin, we are very distressed about Commander Ma’s issue, but though he is gone, our work must continue.” “This is the rebuilding plan I’ve drafted for C City, please have a look...”
