In the pouring rain, a handsome and refined man stopped Qin Xiaolan and spoke to her.
Together they watched the ordinary, bustling survivors coming and going at the gates of Xiangcheng.
Ma Zhiyuan said,
“Xiao Lan, ask them, which one of them hasn’t lost a loved one? That’s just how the world is, there are separations and deaths every day.”
"Stop dwelling on this all the time. Everyone has to work hard to survive. Let's not waste our time on this."
Hua Mi, who happened to be standing not far from the two, nodded, agreeing that what they said made a lot of sense.
This handsome guy is on the right track.
Qin Xiaolan, however, said,
"But that's because I didn't have any news about my brother before. Now Fang Xin says she has a lead, and I'm going to go find her."
Hua Mi, who was not far from Fang Xin, was stunned. How could it be Fang Xin again? How would Fang Xin know that she killed Qin Ziran?
So Hua Mi pricked up her ears and listened carefully, but the two people had already gone far away, seemingly heading out of the city.
Because she had to keep an eye on Liu Shengyuan, Hua Mi couldn't chase after them and could only watch their backs as they left.
Why does she feel that anyone who gets involved with Fang Xin will never have a good ending?
There was no time for Hua Mi to think further. Liu Shengyuan, along with four garrison officers, had already left the watchtower in plainclothes.
Hua Mi followed at a distance, with no intention of interfering with Liu Shengyuan's mission.
It's because the [Energy Droplet] is inside Liu Shengyuan's body, and she doesn't know when it will lose its effect.
It was unclear what that 220ml bottle of "Energy Drops" would bring to Liu Shengyuan, so Hua Mi followed behind Liu Shengyuan and the others.
This makes it easier for her to lend a helping hand promptly.
They reportedly conducted a long investigation and found a small sex den right at the entrance of Xiangcheng.
Those were the two garrison officers that Gong Yi had sent to track down Brother Monkey last time. They staked out the location for a long time before they finally found out.
In fact, small, colored dens like these were quite common in the post-apocalyptic world of the previous life.
At first, everyone felt it was shameful and immoral.
But as time went on, as long as they could survive, women could make a living by using themselves as their capital.
No one will think of this as a dirty business anymore. As long as it allows them to survive and their children to have something to eat, it is not a dirty business.
Of course, that only applies to survivors who have no other way to make a living.
The disaster has only been going on for a little over three months. People still have savings, and survivors can find manual labor jobs in Xiangcheng.
Those who don't do manual labor can go wholesale supplies or scavenge for supplies in the ruins and set up a stall.
If neither of these options is desired, then Hua Mi can search for seedlings to earn money.
Hua Mi said that she would buy any seedlings at a high price.
Why can't they think of a way to survive? Why do they have to do such things in order to live a good life?
No woman likes to be treated like this by a man, especially women of the new generation who still have a sense of propriety and shame. If they are in a sex den, it is most likely because they are forced into it.
Hua Mi followed Liu Shengyuan and the other garrison members at a distance until they arrived at the outside of a semi-abandoned self-built villa.
She leaned casually against a dry spot, curled up in her coral fleece maternity dress, and waited for any movement inside.
Don't make too much noise.
Less than a minute after Liu Shengyuan led his men inside, several street thugs flew out of the building from various angles.
They were all naked and were punched away by Liu Shengyuan.
Some flew out of the window, some flew out of the front door, and some flew over the balcony from the second floor before falling down.
What horrific tragedy had occurred inside? Out of sheer curiosity, Hua Mi waited until all the street thugs in the building had flown away before stepping inside.
The first thing you see is a group of women chained up, all crying and barely clothed.
Liu Shengyuan was grabbing the iron chains on the women's hands and tearing them off with his bare hands.
He paused in his work, and together with the other four guards who were looking for the key to unlock the door, they turned their heads and looked at Hua Mi outside the door with surprise.
"Sister-in-law, what brings you here? Please don't look anymore."
Liu Shengyuan stood up straight and blocked Hua Mi's way.
The situation here is too tragic. Sister Hua is pregnant, and she really shouldn't be looking at such dark things.
Hua Mi, however, wore an expression of complete indifference as she glanced around the small building.
"These street thugs are incredibly audacious, setting up such a hideout right under the noses of the garrison."
At first, she thought it was one of those small, very small, colorful little tents.
Similar to how men in a family, such as fathers, brothers, or husbands, force their women into prostitution.
After all, Xiangcheng still maintains order.
It has been less than four months since the earthquake.
But judging from the current situation here, it seems to have already developed to a certain scale.
There were more than a dozen women here, and quite a few street urchins who flew out as well.
If this place is a den of iniquity, it's more accurate to say it's a transit point.
The women were gathered together, preparing to be transported to some transit point.
Hua Mi frowned slightly; things were worse than she had imagined.
Just then, one of the women suddenly rushed out from among them, shouting loudly,
"Hua Mi, you beast! You have no heart, you're just a beast!"
The women on the ground, barely clothed, all began to curse.
"You've ruined the reputation of the garrison, Hua Mi! You're not human, you're absolutely inhuman!"
"We all trusted you. You said you'd find us good jobs, but you tricked us into doing this!"
You are an animal.
The woman who lunged at him first was stopped by Liu Shengyuan with lightning speed.
Behind him, Hua Mi's expression gradually hardened.
Her fox-like eyes, cold as knives, glared at the women in the room, who were cursing and weeping.
"If you don't explain yourselves clearly today, I'll beat you to death!"
I'm furious! When did she ever say she'd introduce these women to jobs? Is she just bored and has nothing better to do than this?
The garrison troops nearby also sensed something was amiss. Liu Shengyuan gave them a wink, and two of them went out to persuade Hua Mi to stay away.
Liu Shengyuan, along with two other garrison officers, questioned the dozen or so women one by one.
In less than half an hour, the matter was clarified.
Hua Mi actually knew all of these women.
No, it should be said that they all know Hua Mi. Some are her high school and junior high school classmates from her hometown, and some are her college classmates.
Hua Mi simply doesn't remember.
They were all tricked into coming here by Fang Xin using Hua Mi's name.
The sun is out in Changsha, but I'm feeling a bit low on energy today.
