Hua Mi, who suffers from energy anxiety, even picked up the medical supplies scattered on the ground in the depression and threw them into the recycling station.
She seemed utterly ruthless, not even sparing pills covered in mud.
If possible, she would also like to throw the mudslide debris that fell nearby into the recycling center.
But it's unclear how much time this will take, and it could also alter the surrounding mountains.
Just as Hua Mi was hesitating, she received a call from the factory manager's relative at the gas station.
"Hello? Sister Hua, the diesel and gasoline you ordered are stuck outside Xiangcheng and can't get in. Do you want to return them?"
Hua Mi had already delivered all the diesel and gasoline she had ordered last time, but she immediately ordered another tanker truckload of gasoline and another tanker truckload of diesel.
The relative at the gas station knew he couldn't transport that much cargo anymore, not because he lacked a source, but because even if he had a source, he couldn't get it into Xiangcheng.
He sighed on the phone.
"Does your team have any supplies stockpiled? This is inside information, so don't tell anyone else. All the roads out of the city are blocked. Not only can oil not get into the city, but all other supplies, food and drinks, can't get in either."
The relative who worked at the gas station started laughing again as they talked.
"Look at what I'm saying, your rescue team is definitely fine. After all, Boss Gong gave the rescue team 10 billion yuan. I heard you were buying things a lot recently, so you must have supplies to use."
Hua Mi listened and smiled, saying...
"Look at what you're saying. You know I've been buying things a lot lately, so others must know too. The rescue team only has so many supplies. When the time comes, everyone will be asking us for more. No matter how much we stockpile, there's nothing we can do."
Before her relative at the gas station could speak again, Hua Mi continued:
"Well then, we've done so many business deals and always had a pleasant working relationship. You don't need to test me. For example, if you're short of bottled water, waterproof tarpaulins, or respirators, just ask me for them."
"I can only sell you a little bit of other things, like self-heating hot pots and oranges. I have quite a few of those here, and I can sell you tens of thousands of them. I have the authority to do so, since I'm familiar with Boss Gong."
"Also, I need diesel and gasoline regularly. Where is your tanker truck stuck? I'll arrange for someone to tow it away. Just tell me the address."
Hua Mi spoke in an official tone, asking how much energy she could convert from recycling garbage. The most reliable options were still diesel and gasoline, so since she was already out of the city, she would go and collect the oil tanker first.
The relative at the gas station immediately perked up and pointed out a direction to Hua Mi.
"Our Sister Hua is the best at handling things. Have you heard? Qin Ziran from the emergency room has been trying to mobilize the garrison in Xiangcheng's emergency room to transport medical supplies into the city so that they can be moved up the ranks, but Captain Gong didn't agree. Hahaha."
The other party assumed that Hua Mi meant finding someone to transport the goods, and their respect for Hua Mi increased even more.
This woman is no ordinary person; her relationship with Gong Yi must be quite special.
We should cling to this woman's coattails.
Hua Mi didn't explain, letting her relatives at the gas station say whatever they wanted. After all, there were only a few big shots in Xiangcheng, and everyone would share any news with each other.
Qin Ziran wanted to relocate the garrison, but the fact that he didn't was also passed around like a joke among the bigwigs.
Of course, many people also knew about Hua Mi's previous frenzied acquisition of resources from the big shots.
To everyone's relief, Hua Mi didn't intend to hoard these supplies for herself. At least she promised her relatives at the gas station that she was willing to sell an unlimited amount of bottled water, waterproof tarpaulins, and respirators, as well as a certain number of self-heating hot pots and oranges.
When food and supplies trucks couldn't even get into Xiangcheng, Hua Mi's willingness to give them up made many people feel at ease.
After hanging up with her relative at the gas station, Hua Mi changed direction and decided to walk to the place where the tanker truck was stuck to continue collecting the tanker truck.
But her footing faltered as she kicked a white styrofoam box.
The box is well-packaged; it must contain medicines that the group of people took from the medical supply truck earlier.
Hua Mi picked up the styrofoam box from the muddy ground, wiped the mud off it with her sleeve, and saw several large characters on the box:
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) Test Strip
Oh, early pregnancy test strips. No wonder those men don't want them. What would they need this for?
She was going to throw it in the recycling bin.
However, the packaging of the box was quite secure, so the test strips inside were definitely not contaminated.
Hua Mi decided to keep it, washed it directly with mineral water, and sent it to her level 10 storage.
She climbed up the hollow, her mind still on the early pregnancy test, when suddenly it dawned on her—oh dear, she hadn't had her period this month.
A bolt of lightning suddenly streaked across the rainy night sky, stunning Hua Mi and leaving her stunned in place.
No way, it can't be that bad. She never even considered this possibility. How about we get her tested?
Anyway, I just picked up a box of early pregnancy test strips; they weren't free.
Just then, from behind a grove of trees to her side, she suddenly heard laughter from men and women—it was the group of men from the camp.
These men must be having a good time with the two lost women; they're chatting and laughing, creating quite a lively scene.
Hua Mi's phone rang.
She looked down and saw an unfamiliar phone number.
So they answered, and Dai Fang's nervous voice came through.
"Hua Mi, Hua Mi, where are you?"
Hua Mi: "???"
"Hua Mi, I need to tell you something. Could you please help us? It seems like Xin Xin and I can't leave."
On the other end of the phone, Dai Fang hid in the tent, too afraid to go out. Outside, there were men all around, a group of men who had set up an open-air tent and were telling jokes to Fang Xin.
The joke was a bit explicit, which made Dai Fang feel very uneasy.
She hinted to Fang Xin countless times that she should leave, but Fang Xin looked at the expensive red wine on the camping table and felt that these men were all rich and powerful. Moreover, she was being deliberately persuaded by the men to stay, so she couldn't leave at all.
In other words, the two of them were entangled with this group of men.
Dai Fang made an excuse to go to the tent to rest and recharge. After thinking it over, she called the rescue team, but the team did not arrive for a long time.
She called Hua Mi again.
She felt that Hua Mi's ruthlessness in hitting people was comparable to that of these men.
Moreover, Hua Mi also left the city. Wasn't she out of the city to receive supplies? She should be wandering around this area.
Thinking this, Dai Fang quickly explained her and Fang Xin's situation to Hua Mi, and then cried:
"Hua Mi, Sister Hua Mi, please save us! It was all my fault before. I shouldn't have disobeyed you. I shouldn't have left the city. Please come."
Hua Mi touched her lower abdomen and directly refused.
"No, I can't come. I'm physically weak right now and need to rest properly. I can't do any strenuous exercise."
Hua Mi: Although I'm not sure if I'm pregnant or not, I just don't want to go save people~~ Waaaaah.
