Chen Hu's side already has 10,000 men, which is twice as many as Gong Yi's side, who only has 5,000 garrisoned.

Moreover, Boss Gong didn't take many people to City A at all. He left 3,000 troops to maintain order in Xiangcheng, and gave more than 1,000 troops to City B, the Xiang-B Expressway, and the City B supply depot.

It's possible that Gong Yi only brought a couple hundred garrison troops to City A.

Hua Mi's heart sank. She had originally had some confidence in Gong Yi, thinking that this time he could definitely nip Chen Hu in the bud.

As a result, the difference in team size alone was so huge, with 10,000 people versus 100 or 200 people, how could they possibly win?

The garrison in City A on the ground continued speaking.

"Chen Hu has an industrial park in City A with more than 30,000 workers. Since Chen Hu took control of City A's material warehouse, he has selected 10,000 strong and capable workers from these 30,000 people."

"Before Captain Liu decided to raid Chen Hu's villa complex, Chen Hu had already taken over E City's supply depot and weapons depot."

Therefore, it's not hard to imagine that the defection of several thousand garrison troops in City A was of no concern to Chen Hu.

Because Chen Hu had already armed all 10,000 able-bodied laborers under his command.

Lovely people always develop more slowly than hateful people.

Because Gong Yi spent his time saving people, while Chen Hu spent his time plundering.

Everyone says Chen Hu is a conscientious entrepreneur, but in fact, Chen Hu's businesses have spread to every aspect of City B.

He also owns quite a few food processing plants.

These food processing plants are located within the industrial park.

“He has great ambitions. He can obtain a lot of supplies from his henchmen every day to support his team.”

The garrison in City A on the ground had clearly found out everything about Chen Hu.

In other words, besides the 10,000 armed men under Chen Hu's command, he also had countless henchmen.

Last time, the roadblocks set up on the Hunan-B Expressway were done by Chen Hu's henchmen.

This is just one way Chen Hu obtains supplies.

Chen Hu's influence extends to all walks of life, from the lowest rungs of society to the lowest professions.

Even behind Fang Huai's gambling gang, there was Chen Hu's shadow.

The more chaotic the world, the more stage it provides for people like Chen Hu to shine.

Hua Mi was somewhat worried for Gong Yi, wondering if he could defeat Chen Hu on this trip.

She held the baby boy in her arms and looked at Tang You.

"So we're just going to do nothing and stay here guarding City B's supply depot?"

This isn't a good idea. What if Gong Yi dies?

Tang Youxin was also filled with worry, but his ingrained mindset told him that without the commander's orders, he could not go anywhere or do anything.

Now, guarding the supply depot in City B and protecting his sister-in-law are things he's willing to risk his life for.

Hua Mi frowned as she looked at Tang You. Well, she couldn't explain it to Tang You.

Carrying the child, Hua Mi walked back to the depths of the B City supply depot, where no one could see her, and placed more than a dozen rolls of straw mats on the ground.

These straw mats were all woven by people that Ye Rong had hired. They are dry, dense, and about an inch thick, and would fit perfectly as a tatami mat or a mattress.

Hua Mi placed the baby boy sent by the garrison in City A on a dry tatami mat. Then, she placed a bathtub, a large pile of barrels of mineral water, ethanol, painkillers, sterile gauze, hemostatic gel, goggles, condoms, resin gloves, and protective clothing in the supply depot of City B.

After preparing everything, Hua Mi found a medical garrison and asked them to boil some hot water for the child and to clean up the A City garrison on the ground.

With straw mats and mattresses laid out and cloth placed on top, a temporary medical point was set up without taking much time.

While everyone was busy, Hua Mi piled up AK47X and PKMX in a dark corner of the B City supply depot.

Fearing that Gong Yi's firepower wasn't enough, she called Tang You over and pointed to the two piles of guns behind him.

“I know you have a way to contact your boss. Take these two piles of guns to your boss. The number of AK47s and PKMs, you can let your boss divide them up.”

Tang You tilted his head back dramatically and swallowed hard.

“Well, Sister Hua, we’ve confirmed that the boss only brought 100 men. It might be a bit difficult for one person to carry 201 guns into battle.”

Upon hearing this, Hua Mi became troubled.

"Sigh, only 201 guns per person, that's too few. A box of bullets doesn't actually have that many either."

If you encounter a zombie horde or a dense horde of mutated animals, you'll run out of bullets in no time; they're not very durable.

She waved her hand and said with some fervor,

"You should establish a complete firepower supply chain so that everyone can seamlessly switch on when there is no firepower and can easily access weapons."

“If someone is risking their life on the front lines, someone else has to be there to deliver the knife from behind. Here’s what we’ll do: since you’re so busy, I’ll go deliver a gun to your boss. Just tell me where your boss is.”

Gong Yi is too busy to reply to her messages now, and he won't answer her calls.

Gong Yi had already silenced the phone.

Therefore, Hua Mi has no way to contact Gong Yi. It is estimated that only Tang You knows where Gong Yi is now.

Tang You stood straight in front of Hua Mi, his legs stiff, his lips like a clam shell, not uttering a single word.

He silently rejected Sister Hua's suggestion with this gesture.

As I said before, if Sister Hua wants to go to the front lines, she'll have to step over Tang You's dead body first.

Hua Mi waved her hand, about to speak, when a guard suddenly jogged up from behind Tang You.

"Captain Tang, a team is approaching us. They are coming from the back of the supply depot and look like ordinary survivors."
