He lowered his eyes, speaking very politely, even with a hint of humility, to Hua Mi:

“I understand your dissatisfaction. When the Xiangcheng base was attacked by Qu Shiheng, none of us came out to help the Xiangcheng base.”

"But Miss Hua, you should also try to understand us."

"Xiangcheng Base is a behemoth. For a small force like ours and a small settlement of survivors, there is simply nothing we can do."

He spoke with great sincerity, but it made Hua Mi, who was lying on the hospital bed, sneer.

"What's the point of saying all this now? It's all in the past."

"You're coming up to me now and saying all this, which seems a bit like hindsight."

"Putting aside whether you can do anything, the most important thing is whether you have the will to do it, right?"

"This is also the first time I've set up my own base. I understand the intricacies of your father and other high-ranking people, but not much."

“I don’t want to be a complicated person. As you can see, I have children now. I just want to build the place where my children live into a strong fortress.”

"I really can't worry about anything else. Let me say it again, the Xiangcheng base cannot be opened until the crisis outside is resolved."

"The supply market will not be open again. I will meet all the material needs of the people working in the Xiangcheng base, but don't ask me for anything more."

"Who was born to owe you survivors anything?"

Does Hua Mi have to support all the survivors in the apocalypse just because she owns a post-apocalyptic supermarket?

She has no such obligation.

When she fell on hard times, others, for the sake of their own power, could turn a blind eye to her difficulties.

Why did Hua Mi open the Xiangcheng base for the sake of those survivors?

Holding a base is extremely difficult.

The sheer number of seriously and lightly injured garrison troops and police academy students is enough to illustrate one point: defending a city is difficult.

It's harder than ascending to heaven!

"If everyone looks out for themselves, they'll be doomed."

Hua Mi looked at Lin Zhigang with sarcasm.

"I am also someone who will scheme and plot for the development of my own power."

Lin Zhigang frowned, still wanting to persuade him further.

Hua Mi, however, gestured towards the door of her hospital room.

"Because you are the doctor that Ke Minghong left at the rescue center, I also know that as a medical professional, you have saved many people."

"So I won't do anything to you, but I also ask you to be more considerate and not force me to take action and throw you out."

I did something really big today, hahaha.
