Hua Mi's lower abdomen is no longer as soft as before. Although it looks flat, it feels a bit hard to the touch.
I don't know if it's a boy or a girl.
Hua Mi suddenly felt a little anxious thinking about the large number of newborn monk clothes in her level 13 storage.
She's never been a mother, so she doesn't have much experience. Should we stock up on some baby formula or something?
Lost in thought, Hua Mi saw Cao Feng being pushed and rolled over by the mud.
Cao Feng looked unwell, appearing exhausted.
Hua Mi took out her phone to check the time; an hour had passed since she sent them the energy ball earlier.
So, can a single energy ball only satisfy the energy consumption of an average person for one hour?
She took out a ball of light from the level 13 storage and, taking advantage of Cao Feng's inattention, directly slapped it into his body.
Hua Mi then called out to Cao Feng.
"Let's go get some cake. I think this mudslide is getting smaller and smaller, and we'll be able to hold on to it eventually."
Cao Feng glanced at the mud pouring in through the narrow crack in the door; it was indeed decreasing.
It appears that the mountain outside has completely collapsed, and the situation outside is now relatively stable.
Once all the mud has been released, those who haven't been submerged will be able to find a way to dig their way out of the mountain.
One by one, the garrison troops began to tire; an hour of high-intensity work had quickly depleted their energy reserves.
But no one collapsed from exhaustion, and this seemingly enormous supply depot never filled with mud.
In the end, everyone else was in high spirits, but Hua Mi, due to excessive sleepiness during her pregnancy, couldn't stand it and dozed off listlessly.
In her sleepy haze, she didn't know who the person opposite was. She just saw someone walk past her and she would pat out energy balls. She kept patting them, and her hands never touched the other person's body. She could send the energy balls flying into the body of the defender from a distance.
Is this even possible?
Hua Mi's head bobbed up and down, so sleepy she almost fell headfirst into the mud.
Someone shouted loudly,
"Stop! Stop!"
She opened her eyes and saw a huge stone wrapped in mud outside the door crack. The stone blocked the door crack, which was only wide enough for one person, leaving only a few small gaps, like a water gun spraying mud into the supply warehouse.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Ikekawa and the others sat in the mud inside the door, unable to help but burst into laughter, relieved to have survived such a disaster.
Then everyone laughed, because none of them suffocated from the mud or died from exhaustion.
Having survived such a close call, isn't it worth having a good laugh?
However, they soon stopped laughing.
They realized that a huge rock was blocking the entrance to the supply depot, making it impossible for them to dig a tunnel out.
But they still have hope.
Chi Chuan stood up, smiling, and loudly addressed his friends and his aunt and uncle,
"There is food and water in here. As long as we are patient, someone will come to rescue us."
So now all they have to do is wait for Commander Gong to come and rescue them.
Everyone forced a laugh again. Although that's what they said, with the current manpower and resources, it's hard to say how long it would take for Commander Gong to dig them out.
He will definitely come; no one will doubt that. This supply depot was originally buried deep in the mountains, but Commander Gong still managed to find it. Moreover, there are still hundreds of living garrison soldiers in this supply depot.
Cao Feng pushed through the crowd and asked the telegraph operator,
"Have you received the boss's telegram? What did he say?"
The telegraph operator looked bewildered. He turned around and looked for Hua Mi.
Hua Mi stood at the back of the crowd, raised her hand, and said...
"Your boss said you should take a break, and he'll get you out of here in a few days."
In a few days?
When everyone heard Hua Mi's words, they obviously didn't believe it. Such a large landslide had buried them under the two mountains.
It would definitely take more than a few days to dig them out from under the two mountains.
But as long as the commander replies, it means he is taking action. Everyone just needs to stay positive and wait for rescue.
Seventh Aunt's husband quietly approached Eighth Aunt's husband and lowered his voice.
"Hey, have you seen any disaster movies? I've heard that survivors of disasters often have some kind of stress response."
Eighth Aunt's husband turned his head and looked at Seventh Aunt's husband in the dim light.
"Nonsense, you seem perfectly mentally healthy."
"How do you know I won't go crazy if I'm trapped for ten days or half a month?"
My seventh uncle was very unconvinced and retorted stubbornly.
"Do you know what psychopathy is? It's when people are in a repressive and cramped environment, they have nothing to do, so they like to overthink. They think about this and that, and that's how they can easily become abnormal."
Before he could finish speaking, Uncle Shi swung a stick at him and hit Uncle Qi on the head.
"I think you're starting to go crazy! What nonsense are you spouting, it's affecting morale!!!"
Then, Uncle Shi kicked Uncle Qi again, and was about to continue hitting him when Hua Mi walked over.
"I think what you said makes a lot of sense."
Hua Mi stopped Uncle Shi from kicking Uncle Qi. She pulled out a snakeskin bag from behind her back and said seriously,
"I have some things here to pass the time. If you don't mind, you can play with them for now. After Commander Gong rescues us, we won't be afraid of psychopaths anymore."
Several people stepped forward, peering curiously at the snakeskin bag. Inside were some glow sticks, fluorescent dentures, and fluorescent devil horns—the workmanship of which was particularly crude. They used to see such cheap toys often at street stalls.
In the dim light, this pile of things emitted an eerie green glow.
Uncle Shi took out a fluorescent skull mask, looked down at it speechlessly, and felt that playing with such toys in this environment might make it easier to develop psychological problems.
The lights in the supply warehouse flickered overhead due to unstable voltage.
As everyone began distributing fluorescent toys, Hua Mi looked back at the door blocked by the boulder.
She needs to find something for the people inside to do, otherwise, with everyone staring at the door of the supply warehouse, how will she clear the passage later?
Then, Hua Mi turned her attention to the guards gathered in twos and threes among the shelves. She called over Cao Feng and Tang You.
"Let's organize some recreational activities, otherwise everyone will quickly become depressed, which is not good for their physical and mental health."
Cao Feng wiped the mud off his face.
"Sister Hua, what kind of entertainment activities should we do? We'll do whatever you say."
Hua Mi pointed to a projector, DVD player, screen, and a pile of CDs at her feet. These were secondhand items she had bought while browsing a street stall, and now they were coming in handy.
Tang You picked up a CD and read aloud.
"The Million Dollar Bride of a Tycoon? Season 1."
My mom is coming back from Tianjin to Changsha tomorrow to meet me, and then we'll go back to my hometown in Zhangjiajie for the Spring Festival. That way, someone will be there to take care of my baby. I'm so happy!
