Hua Mi looked at the old man in front of her, smiled and stepped aside, allowing the medical garrison behind her to push out a cart piled high with straw mats.
Then, Hua Mi said to the medical garrison:
"You guys go ahead and do your work. I'll find someone else to help with the tasks."
The garrison at the B City supply depot has fewer than 100 personnel, of which only 4 are medical personnel.
Yes, that's right. Gong Yi also made Hua Mi the captain of the stationed medical team, leading a team of four.
But in reality, these four people not only had to take care of the wounded soldiers stationed in City A, but also had to manage the food supplies for the garrison at the City B supply depot.
And other miscellaneous tasks.
So they were simply too busy to handle everything. Even if Hua Mi wanted to ask someone to help push a cart, she could only ask the medical garrison.
Due to limited manpower, Tang You and his ninety-odd garrison soldiers had been subsisting on oranges and instant noodles.
These instant noodles were stockpiled by Hua Mi before. At that time, she only needed to meet the minimum survival requirements. She felt that in extreme survival situations, it would be good enough to have something to eat.
Most of the survivors couldn't even afford instant noodles.
But later, as her golden finger grew thicker and thicker, she was able to produce more and more things.
To be honest, instant noodles just don't do it justice.
So Hua Mi put all the instant noodles in her level 17 warehouse into the B City supply depot, intending to have Chi Chuan take them out to sell.
As a result, in order to save time, Tang You and his friends ate instant noodles dry during this period.
These garrison posts are really torturing their stomachs.
So, when the second old man stood before Hua Mi with his own child, Hua Mi no longer wanted the old man to weave straw mats. She asked...
Can you cook?
This is actually a pointless statement; what elderly person doesn't know how to cook?
The old man seems to be able to do everything except for lack of strength.
After the old man nodded, Hua Mi turned and walked into the supply warehouse.
A little while later, she pushed out a cart full of rice and side dishes.
"I'll find a few more elderly people later, and you can help cook a meal for our garrison."
"Of course, you can eat with the garrison. Whatever the garrison eats, you who help with the work will eat the same."
With rice, side dishes, and orange juice, all you have to do is work to get these things for free. What more could you ask for?
More and more elderly people stepped forward from the 2,000 survivors on the other side.
Some young people whispered among themselves, their expressions softening as they winked at their elders, signaling them to take the children to Hua Mi to collect the supplies.
For them, contributing a little labor means receiving supplies for free.
Most of the cash they had was ruthlessly robbed by the group of men who had encouraged them to come here.
So they had no money on them.
This is also a major reason why they obediently came here and forced the garrison to hand over the B City supply depot.
All the cash on him was stolen, and even after walking onto the Hunan-B Expressway, there was no way to buy supplies from the stalls.
It's better to take the risk this time.
But now, you don't need to pay cash. You just need to help cook and take care of the children to have something to eat. So why bleed and fight to the death with the garrison?
More and more elderly people, holding the hands of their children, are walking towards Huami.
Gradually, they formed a line in front of Hua Mi.
Meanwhile, those instigators mingling in the crowd were impatient.
They kept persuading those who wanted to leave.
“She’s definitely lying to you. She’s using a little food to lure you in now, but once our group falls apart, she’ll starve you to death.”
"Don't go over there. Let's take over this B City supply depot. All the supplies inside will be ours, enough to feed us for a long time."
"Don't be silly. Between this bite of food now and the endless food we'll have after we storm the supply depot, which is more worthwhile?"
"As you've seen, the garrison is ruthless in killing. They can kill our people without batting an eye, and sooner or later they'll kill you too."
That's what they say, but these instigators only dare to mingle among the survivors and whisper such things.
Now nobody dares to be the first to speak out, for fear that if they do, they'll be shot dead by the garrison.
They had a firm grasp on the rules of the garrison. As long as they didn't stand out and harm the weak, they could blend into the crowd and incite civilians to cause trouble, and the garrison couldn't do anything about it.
Hua Mi has already hired 10 elderly women to cook, 20 elderly men to collect garbage, and 30 children to help move supplies.
Children who couldn't carry supplies helped look after even younger children, some of whom couldn't even walk.
Anyway, everyone has to do chores and work, and children are no exception.
The children can't actually carry that many supplies at once.
But there were many children, and they ran fast. They carried the supplies from the warehouse to the outside, like ants carrying house, carrying a little bit at a time, without much effort.
When the elderly arrived, Hua Mi selected two of them and began registering their names and distributing supplies.
Hua Mi would provide supplies and assign tasks to any elderly person who came to queue up and did not cause trouble.
After that, Hua Mi sent the old people away to the mountains near the supply depot to find things that could be used to set up a stall.
Having successfully separated a large number of elderly people and children from the group of survivors, Hua Mi walked to Tang You's side, frowned, and asked...
"Have all those who instigated this been found?"
