Whether the team from City E actually recruited anyone or not is not really known to anyone.
However, E City is developing well, a fact known to many survivors.
Hua Mi lay in her private VIP hospital room, listening to the murmurs outside fade into the distance, and she chuckled.
If the powerful fire-type ability user they're talking about is Qu Shiheng, then Qu Shiheng has already run away.
At this moment, Tu Lijia stormed into the ward, her face grim.
"People outside are going crazy, saying that City E is better than our Xiangcheng base."
Hua Mi teased her.
"What's wrong? You want to go to City E?"
Tu Lijia was busy arranging Hua Mi's nutritious meal when she heard this. She looked up at Hua Mi and said angrily:
"How could I possibly want to go to City E? My roots are in Xiangcheng. If I go to City E, what will happen to my parents?"
Right now, the calmest people in the Xiangcheng base are probably the long-time residents of Xiangcheng.
Those whose hearts were filled with unease were probably the later refugees who had fled from other places.
Because they still had other options, they never felt that the Xiangcheng base was their final destination.
They only saw this place as a refuge, nothing more.
The old residents of Xiangcheng are different; they've always stayed in this area, and they don't know what the outside world is like.
Even though many people say that City E is very safe, it is still somewhat difficult for them to leave with their families, no matter how safe a place is.
Moreover, the garrison in Xiangcheng has always been quite reliable.
Seeing Tu Lijia jumping up and down, Hua Mi laughed:
"The days ahead will only get harder. If you want to leave, you might not have the chance if you don't leave now."
She had barely finished speaking when she received a phone call from the contractor.
He said on the phone that his engineering teams had gathered on the east side of the base and were causing trouble.
Hua Mi tilted her head and frowned.
"They want to leave? Then why not let them go and keep them around for the New Year?"
In fact, many people around her now only report good news to her and not bad news.
Many things happened, and after thinking about it, they decided to let it go.
There's no need to bother Hua Mi with these idle gossips.
Everyone knows that Hua Mi is in the hospital awaiting childbirth; with her big belly, she could give birth at any moment.
The contractor sounded anxious on the other end of the phone.
"They don't want to leave, nor do they want supplies; they're just making trouble."
Just making a fuss.
Because they did not approach the barbed wire fence, nor did they enter the danger zone designated by the garrison.
Therefore, at this level, it's difficult to manage the garrison, and there's no time to manage it either.
Yang Honglin has already gone to urgently restore order, but the fact that even Yang Honglin couldn't maintain order shows how serious the problem is.
Hua Mi listened with a frown.
Coincidentally, there was a teleportation point outside the Tomson Riviera villa community. Without waiting for Tu Lijia to speak, she teleported there directly.
People outside were talking about it, not just those inside the hospital, but also various aspects of the Xiangcheng base.
When Hua Mi arrived, Qin Zhen and Shi Caixia arrived after Yang Honglin and had already taken care of the situation.
So Hua Mi stood at the entrance of the Tomson Villas community and took a look.
The striking workers were united in their demands: they wanted guns.
“I know you have connections and influence, and you have rules and strict management, but now zombies are everywhere. You want us to build city walls, how will you guarantee our safety?”
Someone took the lead and negotiated with Yang Honglin.
Behind this man was a large group of workers sitting quietly on the road.
Yang Honglin wiped his face, removing the spittle from it.
Qin Zhen stepped forward to explain.
"We can't give you guns. They're strictly controlled and can't be used indiscriminately. Besides, we don't have that many guns and ammunition."
She didn't know how many guns Hua Mi had, but Qin Zhen shared the same thought as Hua Mi.
Guns should not be allowed to proliferate.
No matter how urgent the situation, weapons and ammunition should not be distributed to survivors indiscriminately.
She sighed, trying to reason with the workers and appeal to their emotions.
"The Xiangcheng base is currently under attack by a zombie horde, and the peak is approaching soon. If you don't go and repair the city walls soon, our situation will become even more difficult."
The Xiangcheng base is a base that is not yet completed.
Similar projects, which have been put into use but remain unfinished, are common in Xiangcheng.
That's why only half of the wall around Xiangcheng has been built.
The area of the Xiangcheng base is constantly expanding, and the area protected by the wall is also constantly expanding.
The remaining half of the unfinished wall was temporarily covered with electric fence.
Normally it's fine; the power grid works well.
However, if a zombie horde comes along, the electric grid can be easily overwhelmed.
Especially if the zombie horde is mixed with a horde of mutated beasts.
Therefore, Hua Mi demanded that the contractor build the perimeter wall of the Xiangcheng base in the shortest possible time.
Use the cement she provides; the kind that even a drill bit can't break.
According to Hua Mi's calculations, the real zombie horde is expected to arrive in about two months.
The timeframe is tight, but that doesn't necessarily mean the project won't be completed on schedule.
With proper planning.
"Miss Qin is aware of our current difficult situation. If that's the case, why are you disregarding our safety?"
“Yes, the garrison has guns, but they don’t protect us. They’re all just incompetent bastards. We demand that we be issued guns so that our lives will be safer, right?”
Someone in the crowd said this, their tone full of provocation.
"I heard that this Xiangcheng base belongs to a woman, Gong Yi's wife. So we didn't build the base for ourselves, we just built it for a woman."
"If that's the case, why should we take this risk?"
Gong Yi did not investigate this matter thoroughly.
From the very beginning, Gong Yi didn't care who owned the Xiangcheng base.
He was guarding people, not the city, so as long as the people were there, Gong Yi didn't care who owned the land or who built the houses.
When Hua Mi spent money on infrastructure projects, Gong Yi and everyone else tacitly agreed that the infrastructure projects Hua Mi built were Hua Mi's.
Is there a problem with this?
Why is it now considered a serious crime?
Hua Mi stood at a distance, looked into the crowd, and immediately smiled.
Guess what? She spotted an acquaintance among the group of troublemaking workers.
Hu Yanxiang.
Isn't this an old acquaintance from D City?
No wonder these workers kept saying that the base belonged to Hua Mi and had nothing to do with them.
They also said they were risking their lives to build the base.
Would anyone think this way if no one instigated it?
In the crowd, Hu Yanxiang shouted at the top of his lungs.
"That's it, stop arguing. If you don't give us guns, we're leaving. Who has the patience to guard a base for a woman?"
"Ugh! Ptooey!!!"
How can I solve this problem of writing characters in different sizes?
