Hua Mi, supporting her back and carrying her pregnant belly, walked forward and quickly descended from the snow-capped mountain to the entrance of the supply depot.

Zhong Ziming led a group of people and set up a tent at the entrance of the supply warehouse.

They had various tools in their hands.

Upon seeing Hua Mi approach, Zhong Ziming put down his book and greeted her.

"I didn't expect Mrs. Gong to be here too."

He had been to Xiangcheng with Ma Yongchun, so he naturally knew Hua Mi.

Hua Mi raised an eyebrow and said to Zhong Ziming.

"I heard you're planning to exchange supplies with City D?"

“Yes.” Zhong Ziming’s eyes gleamed. “I hope Mrs. Gong can be lenient.”

"Currently, supplies in City C are relatively adequate, but a large number of survivors are still stranded in City D. Now that the city is blocked by heavy snow, the survivors there are said to be having a very difficult time."

As he said this, he looked at Hua Mi's reaction, then smiled and asked again.

"Did Mrs. Gong also come for supplies?"

"Actually, we are all people. People from Xiangcheng are people, people from C City are people, and people from D City are all people, right, Mrs. Gong?"

Hua Mi looked over directly, her brows furrowing slightly. Oh no, she didn't actually understand what Zhong Zimo meant either.

That's right, she feels the same way as Zhou Cheng now, and she can clearly sense that there is another layer of meaning in Zhong Ziming's words.

But I just don't understand what Zhong Zimo means.

Hua Mi pondered for a while while listening to Zhong Zimo talk for a long time before she suddenly realized what was going on.

Zhong Ziming kept saying that the people of D City were also people and needed supplies.

He asked Hua Mi to be lenient.

Is this a form of moral blackmail against Hua Mi?

Because of her heavy body, Hua Mi wanted to rest after standing for a long time, so she directly told the incessantly talking Zhong Ziming...

"This is easy to handle. Just have the commander of D City come to me. If he wants food and drink, just give me the money."

"I have no intention of blocking anyone's supplies. I welcome anyone who comes to me to buy or sell supplies."

Hua Mi's sincerity left Zhong Zimo speechless for a moment.

He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses.

“Mrs. Gong, what I mean is, could you please give up on this supply depot? After all, you already have a lot of supplies. The survivors in C City and D City also need food, water, and warm clothes to get through the winter.”

These words made Hua Mi burst out laughing.

"I came here because of the cooperation agreement that Qin Zhen and I signed. How did it become that I'm not letting go?"

"The ownership of the supplies in this warehouse is a matter between you and Miss Qin. Until your issues are resolved, I will proceed in accordance with the contract."

"Not a single ounce of this 100 tons of fabric can be missing from my supply. After all, I'm also waiting for the fabric to start making cotton-padded clothes, which is also a way to save lives."

Seeing that Zhong Ziming was about to speak, Hua Mi raised her hand to interrupt him.

"Secretary Zhong, it's pointless for you to keep arguing about these things. At this time, shouldn't the most important thing be to work together to prevent anyone from trying to seize this supply depot?"

Such a large batch of supplies was incredibly tempting for the survivors.

Nobody believed that Chen Hu would just sit and wait to die if Brother Fen and his group were trapped.

At this time, the most important thing to do is to protect the supply depot.

Zhong Ziming wanted to say something more, but Zhou Cheng hurriedly walked over.

He hurriedly said to Hua Mi,

“A group of people is coming, about 500 people, and they are armed.”

Brother Fen and his gang, who were hiding in the supply depot, were still alive and wanted to come out.

People outside want the supplies inside, so there will definitely be a rescue operation.

Hua Mi looked up at the dark gray snowy sky, nodded, and said to Zhou Cheng...

"Commander Zhou, I'd like to do a business deal with you."

As she spoke, she pulled Zhou Cheng aside, away from Zhong Ziming's eyes and ears, and began to talk about the AK47X, PKMX, and Gatling X she was going to sell to him.

Zhou Cheng has 1,500 troops stationed at his command.

He opened his mouth wide, and large snowflakes drifted into it.

"Sister Hua, even though I'm more handsome than Brother Yi, you can't just raid Brother Yi's armory like this."

His first thought was, "Is Sister Hua going to divorce Gong Yi? Is that why Sister Hua is secretly selling Gong Yi's assets here?"

By the way, where did Gong Yi get all these weapons? Brother Yi's family is incredibly wealthy.

Zhou Cheng was extremely envious and jealous.

Hua Mi rolled her eyes at Zhou Cheng, one hand on her waist and the other touching her pregnant belly.

"I see that you only have a few dozen men and a few dozen guns, which is too meager. The other side has 300 men one minute and 500 men the next."

“Gong Yi can’t stay here with you forever. If he leaves, you’ll still have to keep guarding this supply depot.”

Moreover, Zhou Cheng is only dealing with people now. When various mutated plants and animals appear in the future, this number of weapons may not be enough.

The main problem is a lack of bullets.

Seeing Zhou Cheng's excited expression, Hua Mi added,

"Don't worry, Gong Yi is very wealthy. He won't go bankrupt selling you a certain number of weapons."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Cheng nodded frantically.

The armory in City C has quite a lot of weapons, but no matter how many there are, there are no AK47X, PKMX, or Gatling X.

He rubbed his hands together and asked Hua Mi hesitantly.

How much do all of these cost?

He's very poor now. Ever since Ma Yongchun and Qin Zhen had their falling out, they haven't been paying the garrison in City C any wages.

Because the reserve fund account in City C is in the hands of Ma Yongchun.

Since Qin Zhen couldn't get the money, he used the supplies in City C's supply depot to convert into wages and paid them to Zhou Cheng's garrison.
