Chapter 19 Can I buy some more water from you?



"Thank you, Brother Ziran. You're the best to me."

Fang Xin was overjoyed; this was exactly what she wanted. Her ideal situation was for Qin Ziran and Hua Mi to give her money and support her.

Ideally, Hua Mi would give her money while being abandoned by Qin Ziran, and suffer mental torment and harm from him.

Fang Xin felt she had achieved her goal, since she understood Hua Mi's feelings for Qin Ziran.

Hua Mi loves Qin Ziran to the point of obsession. Although Qin Ziran betrayed Hua Mi and she was angry and kept arguing about breaking up with him, Hua Mi simply couldn't live without Qin Ziran.

It's perfectly normal for men to cheat; which man in this world doesn't have a few wandering thoughts?

In the end, it's highly likely that Hua Mi and Qin Ziran will get back together.

Fang Xin certainly didn't want to see such an ending. She wanted to monopolize Hua Mi's man every day, live a carefree life of shopping sprees, and watch Hua Mi suffer.

The plan has now succeeded in its first step: Qin Ziran made her resign and gave her money to spend. The next step is to prevent Hua Mi from meeting Qin Ziran under any circumstances.

Otherwise, if the two of them meet, and Hua Mi is coaxed back by Qin Ziran with just a few words, and then the prince and princess in the fairy tale fly away together, what will Fang Xin do?

Having made up her mind, Fang Xin took the tens of thousands of yuan that Qin Ziran had given her and waited at the temporary medical center, hoping to see Hua Mi reappear.

Of course, spending all day with one person would be incredibly boring, and given Fang Xin's personality, she also enjoys shopping.

However, she only bought lipsticks, nail polish, high heels, jewelry, and pretty dresses... Anyway, these things are very cheap now, and she couldn't keep up with the money. Fang Xin spent all 30,000 yuan that Qin Ziran had given her.

It's okay. Fang Xin now has Qin Ziran as her big spender, and this temporary medical center provides three meals and two snacks a day, so she won't starve.

If we run out of money, we can just ask Brother Ziran for more.

Hua Mi, on the other hand, didn't care about Fang Xin and Qin Ziran at all.

She told Afu to park the truck in front of the ruins, sent Afu to rest, and went to the truck bed herself. With a thought, she put everything in the truck bed into a Level 4 warehouse.

Then fill the truck with empty mineral water bottles.

Hua Mi, who didn't want to move an inch, instantly returned to her supermarket, dragged out a wire mesh from the Level 4 storage area, and began to install security measures for her Lotus Prosperity Supermarket.

But before she could even unpack a single roll of wire mesh, Hua Mi got hungry.

She touched her stomach, which was growling with hunger, and remembered that she had eaten two pieces of bread not long ago. What was wrong with her?

Could it be that her ability to grow plants has become the superpower of this post-apocalyptic supermarket, resulting in her own appetite mutating as a result?

If she keeps eating like this, will she turn into a 250-pound fat woman?

Hua Mi squatted down, clutching her lower abdomen, and plopped down on the wire mesh. She took out a large bowl of hot spicy hot pot from the Level 4 storage and ate it while scrolling through her phone and reading the news.

News reports also mentioned earthquakes in some cities, but the damage was minimal; they were all small tremors, far less frequent and damaging than the earthquakes in Xiangcheng.

It seems that Xiangcheng is like the epicenter of an earthquake.

But this is good enough, at least global logistics are still running smoothly.

Although the airport in Xiangcheng was destroyed by the earthquake, the head of the Xiangcheng Post Office still held a press conference to ensure that the shopping festival for the people of Xiangcheng would not be delayed. If air transport was not possible, the head of the post office would use land transport. If land transport was not possible, they would use water transport. If water transport was not possible, the head of the post office would rely on manpower to carry the goods.

In short, even if the world ends, the head of the post office in Xiangcheng will ensure that the packages delivered to the people of Xiangcheng are delivered smoothly.

Great. After seeing this news, Hua Mi checked the information on shopping websites and found that some of the instant noodles, portable gas canisters, portable gas stoves, etc. that she had bought before had been shipped, while others had not.

The majority of orders have already been shipped.

Because air transport was not possible, they had to be transported by land. They encountered all sorts of problems along the way; some were almost in Xiangcheng, while others were still en route.

Many packages have already been delivered to the nearest express delivery station in the market town.

Hua Mi still chose to trust the head of Xiangcheng Post Office. At this time, if they could get 5,000 out of 10,000 boxes of goods, that would be pretty good.

So she went to several online stores and ordered 30,000 yuan worth of bread.

The reason I stock up on bread is because bread is convenient, and you don't need to turn on the portable gas stove to cook.

After humans, animals, and plants all begin to mutate, Hua Mi will be able to fight monsters while eating bread and instant noodles.

Just as she was busy buying things online, a tall and burly man walked towards her from a distance in the ruins. It was Huo Jing.

He seemed to have been wandering around the area for a long time before finally finding Hua Mi, sweating profusely. From a distance, he could see Hua Mi sitting outside a small supermarket.

Huo Jing happily raised one arm and waved it.

"Miss Hua, I've finally found you."

Hua Mi looked up, a hint of confusion in her clear eyes.

"Looking for me? Is something wrong?"

Huo Jing looked astonished. He had a large bag on his back. He sat opposite Hua Mi, took off his backpack, and pulled out several stacks of red bills from the bulging bag.

Ten thousand stacks.

"Miss Hua, I know you're very capable. Can I buy some more water from you? I'll give you 10 yuan a bottle, no, 20 yuan a bottle is fine too."

Huo Jing looked troubled as he spoke. He hadn't seen him for a few days, and the once robust man seemed to have become quite haggard.

His hair was greasy, and his clothes looked like they hadn't been washed for days.

Seeing that Hua Mi was simply holding a large bowl and eating spicy hot pot with bright red oil, without responding to him, Huo Jing continued:

"Well, last time I bought 3,000 bottles of mineral water from you, a relative of mine said that the price of mineral water in Xiangcheng has gone up quite a bit, so..."

"So you all just discussed it and decided to sell those 3,000 bottles of mineral water?"

Hua Mi finally spoke. She was holding two chopsticks and eating a beef ball with a scalding broth inside. When she took a bite, the broth inside burned her mouth.

She hissed and laughed:

"That's great, you must have made a lot of money."

Huo Jing couldn't discern the meaning behind her smile in her words; he simply sighed.

"We did make a lot of money; those 3,000 bottles of mineral water sold out very quickly. However, we kept thinking that the water would be back soon, but our tap water supply has not been restored."

So now their family draws water from the Xiang River to bathe.

But we can't drink water from the Xiang River, especially for children; they can't drink river water.

Huo Jing and his relatives then realized what they had sold.

The final straw that broke the camel's back was yesterday, when their natural gas was also cut off.
