Huo Jing, carrying cement, asked curiously, "Uncle, why didn't you run?"

"If I run away, won't Miss Hua be angry after giving birth?"

Boss Bao rolled his eyes at Huo Jing.

He was Miss Hua's number one lackey.

The so-called number one lackey must be someone who worries about Miss Youhua and rejoices in Miss Lehua's joy.

Although the foreman was terrified, he knew even better that the ultimate act of being a lackey was to risk one's life to please his master.

The foreman, a sycophantic lackey, grinned at Huo Jing:

"Don't worry, after this incident, Miss Hua will definitely value me even more."

Huo Jing followed behind the contractor, unloading the cement, and then ran back to fetch water.

He asked, "What if you die?"

"If you die, it won't matter how much Miss Hua values ​​you."

The foreman glared at Huo Jing again, then made a cross gesture on his chest, clasping his hands together as he ran.

"How could I possibly die? I have Miss Hua protecting me."

After saying that, he proudly pulled out a gold necklace from his neck.

The pendant of the gold necklace is a palm-sized disc, on which is inlaid a photo of Hua Mi.

This is the contractor's talisman.

He brandished the palm-sized gold pendant at Huo Jingyang.

"See? Miss Hua will protect me. I definitely won't die."

"As for you, without Miss Hua's divine skills protecting you, this dangerous place is not suitable for you. You should leave quickly."

Huo Jing was utterly speechless at the contractor's obsessive sycophantic behavior.

He stopped communicating with the contractor and just kept his head down, carrying cement.

After all, the contractor's thinking is beyond the comprehension of a normal person.

When someone becomes extremely obsequious, they should be like a construction foreman.

He wasn't just flattering Hua Mi; he was practically making Hua Mi his life's faith.

At this moment, the women standing nearby also moved.

They originally intended to leave the Xiangcheng base in the west.

But they watched as Cao Feng and the others, dressed in their garrison combat uniforms, remained outside the third protective net.

Huo Jing and the foreman had already carried dozens of bags of cement back and forth.

Some women simply couldn't bring themselves to leave.

So they also voluntarily joined Huo Jing and Cao Feng's cement-carrying team.

Let's build the city wall, let's build it.

In any case, if the western part of the Xiangcheng base is breached, their fate will also be death.

Where can we retreat to if we go any further?

Does retreating into the Xiangcheng base mean the zombies won't invade it?

Someone has to build the city wall.

Someone has to hold the western part of the Xiangcheng base.

Some of the other men who were building the city wall, who were preparing to leave, watched as the women on the construction site moved.

Those men couldn't help but spit on the ground.

Someone, puzzled, grabbed a woman's arm and asked:

"At this point, why aren't you running? What are you doing here carrying cement?"

The woman shoved the man away, letting out a bitter laugh.

"Of course you can run away. Once you leave the base, you can go to the E City base, you can go to F City, you can go anywhere you want."

"But all we have left is the Xiangcheng base, understand? All we have left is the Xiangcheng base."

Don't assume that just because they've been inside the Xiangcheng base, they don't know how broken and fragmented the lives of women outside have become.

They clearly understood what fate awaited them after leaving the Xiangcheng base.

If they can defend the Xiangcheng base today, they can still live like human beings. If they cannot defend the Xiangcheng base, then they will perish along with the Xiangcheng base.

In any case, the women who leave this place will also suffer a fate worse than death.

It's better to use this life to contribute my own strength; perhaps my contribution will give Xiangcheng a better chance of survival.

The women all sprang into action.

A child was crying at the construction site. A woman took off her protective gloves and wiped the tears from the child's face.

She spoke gently to the frightened child,

"Don't cry, get back to work. You're with your mother."

The child stretched out his small, dirty hands and hugged his mother's neck.

He asked, crying:

"Mom, if we don't run away soon, will we get eaten by these zombies?"

The gentle woman smiled, took the child's hand, and slipped a brick into the child's grasp, deceiving her child.

"If you build your bricks high enough, you and your mother will definitely be able to survive. Don't worry, your mother will never lie to you."

All she had left was her own life and that of her child.

If she leaves Xiangcheng, neither she nor her child will survive.

So don't think about anything, and don't be afraid.

Their only task was to build the city walls high enough before the zombies devoured Cao Feng's garrison.

There are many, many people who understand this principle.

Some women ran away halfway, then realized what was happening and ran back with their children.

The construction site gradually became busy again.

This time they were much faster, and there was no need for the foreman and Huo Jing to make arrangements. They did everything they could, within sight.

Cao Feng bravely fought off zombies outside the electric fence.
