Chapter 361 What can be done if we can't hold on?



Qin Zhen left in a hurry to arrange production work in various factories within the Xiangcheng base.

As the power grid in the D City safe zone was reactivated, Hua Mi's black soil level was upgraded to 19.

She regained 19 square kilometers of black soil.

All of this black soil, along with the 17 square meters of black soil that hadn't been used up last time, was thrown into the level 35 warehouse by Hua Mi.

By now, Hua Mi has accumulated 38 chances to win the lottery.

As night fell, gunshots rang out from the south of the Xiangcheng base.

Gong Yi has not yet made a move in the east, but fighting has already broken out in the south of the base.

Hua Mi, heavily pregnant, stood by the window, gazing at the south under the starry sky.

She took out her phone and opened her chat with Gong Yi.

The text message was still from the last one, in which he kept nagging her not to go out and to take good care of herself during her pregnancy.

Hua Mi couldn't help but smile.

Honestly, if it were before the apocalypse, perhaps she and Gong Yi could have had a simple and ordinary romance.

This man made her experience a little bit of the allure of love.

She put away her phone, not needing to ask Gong Yi how things were going; he might be out there battling wits with the mutated beasts.

Before Gong Yi took the initiative to message Hua Mi, she rarely contacted him first.

Hua Mi turned her gaze back to the south of the base, where the gunfire was becoming more intense.

The elite troops stationed there were all transferred to the east, and most of the troops stationed within the base were moving south.

The bursts of gunfire indicated that more people had already entered the fray, engaging the zombies in combat with melee weapons.

Because there were too many zombies, they had no choice but to use guns to deal with the zombies that were further away.

Hua Mi silently opened her supermarket control panel.

She has 38 chances to win a firearm in the lottery.

Any kind of firearms is fine; Hua Mi has been waiting for this moment, accumulating so many lottery chances.

Her large belly began to move frequently, as if the two little ones were fighting inside Hua Mi's belly.

This made Hua Mi's belly uneven.

She felt some pain, and her stomach tightened. She was only seven months pregnant, but she was already experiencing contractions.

Xin Qiuru said that because her belly was so big, she might have reached Hua Mi's limit.

There is also a risk that the baby in the womb may be born prematurely.

She is now doing her best to cooperate with Xin Qiuru, eating nutritious meals every day and staying in the rescue center without causing any trouble.

But she didn't make any moves and just lay in bed all day. As if the baby in her belly couldn't stand the loneliness, it started fighting day and night.

Yes, the kind where they pinch each other inside Hua Mi's belly.

Cold sweat beaded on Hua Mi's forehead. She braced herself against the window with one hand, trying to calm the contractions before facing the even more ferocious fuss of her two babies.

A moment later, she rubbed her hands together, placed them on her large, stretch-marked belly, and said gently,

"Alright, you two put aside your grudges and let's work together. This apocalypse doesn't just belong to Dad and Mom, it belongs to you too, so we need to work together."

The two little babies in her belly seemed to understand what Hua Mi was saying.

The previously agitated fighting has quieted down considerably.

Although there were occasional sneak attacks, they were not serious and did not cause Hua Mi any pain.

She started the lottery.

I drew all 38 prizes in one go, pushing my warehouse from level 35 to level 40.

The later on, the slower the upgrades become, whether for warehousing or factories.

However, each upgrade brings plenty of surprises.

Hua Mi's level 40 storage space was then given another level 40 storage space of the same size, resulting in Storage No. 4.

Hua Mi put all the weapons she had won in the lottery.

With 38 chances to win a prize, most of the winnings were various household items, with a small number being rather impractical junk.

For example, 10 million tons of carbon paper, 10 million pairs of nylon stockings

There are also some items that look very practical, but shouldn't be needed for the time being, such as gas stoves, spatulas, spoons, and light bulbs, with quantities starting at 10 million.

There are also tear gas, bulletproof vests, armored vehicles, and grenades, in quantities starting at 10 million.

Surprisingly, it also contained various building materials.

And the Gatling gun was drawn out by Hua Mi again, in quantities of 10 million.

I was pretty lucky.

Hua Mi felt a little relieved. These things, if given to the garrison at Xiangcheng Base, would at least allow Xiangcheng Base to hold out against the zombie horde for three years.

Three years from now, the number of people with superpowers will definitely be more than it is now.

Even without many superhumans, three years is enough time for Hua Mi to draw lots many times. By then, she will eventually get lucky and win a few useful items.

Hua Mi called Cao Feng, who was stationed in Xiangcheng, that very night, and pointed him to the underground parking garage of Lianhua Shengxing Supermarket, asking Cao Feng to take out the firearms inside and lay them out for the garrison at the Xiangcheng base.

Her batch of weapons came at just the right time to help the garrison.

Cao Feng said to Hua Mi on the phone,

"Sister Hua, you have no idea how many zombies came last night. It is said that the ice in G City and H City collapsed at the same time, and who knows how many zombies came out."

The avalanche happened overnight.

It was expected, yet it caught everyone off guard.

The cities Cao Feng mentioned were all located near Xiangcheng.

Some locations are closer to the original Xiangcheng than D City is.

The garrison stationed at the Xiangcheng base fought zombies all night yesterday.

At first, everyone thought the zombies would be defeated soon, and they had dealt with such situations one after another during this period.

Throughout the day, a small group of wandering zombies would always approach the Xiangcheng base.

It will be resolved quickly and won't cause much trouble.

But last night's zombies were like a dam releasing its floodwaters; they weren't all wiped out.

And there are more and more of them.

Cao Feng even started to panic. If the fighting continued like this, the garrison's firearms would eventually run out.

He was very grateful to Sister Hua for the weapons she had donated to the garrison.

Although Cao Feng goes in and out of the underground parking garage under the Lianhua Shengxing Supermarket every day.

Just yesterday, such a large batch of weapons had never appeared in the underground garage.

No one would be foolish enough to dwell on these issues at this time.

Not long after, it was the next morning.

Inside the Xiangcheng base, people were filled with anxiety.

Even though Hua Miren was staying in the intensive care unit, she could hear people talking outside.

"I heard a lot of zombies have come to the base from the south. Will we be able to hold it?"

"What can we do if we can't hold out? Can we go anywhere else? There's nowhere else to go."

After a while, someone said cautiously,

"I heard that E City is developing quite well. Last time I heard that a fire-type ability user from E City came here. He's very powerful and even recruited people at the Xiangcheng base."

It's getting hotter and hotter.
