Seeing how generous Hua Mi was, the skincare product vendor felt a little embarrassed and chatted with her casually for a bit.
“Our city collapsed more than half overnight. We couldn’t save everyone. At first, we had medicine, but because the roads were blocked, we couldn’t get the medicine in.”
Xiangcheng was the first city to be shaken. When the neighboring city started to shake, medical supplies donated by all sectors were being poured into Xiangcheng.
By the time the people of Xiangcheng had begun to get used to earthquakes, they had already started to spread like a plague to various cities.
In every city, large numbers of people are injured or even killed.
Every city needs medical supplies.
In comparison, Xiangcheng really has the lowest mortality rate among all cities.
That's because many of the people who died weren't actually killed by the earthquake itself, but rather by their injuries because medical supplies didn't keep up.
Many smart people have recognized this trend, and those who can afford to come to Xiangcheng are flocking there with their families.
This stands in stark contrast to the recent situation where people from Xiangcheng were leaving the city with their families, even selling their belongings to escape Xiangcheng.
"Look at me, once I start talking to you, I never stop."
The skincare product vendor packed his bags, putting away the dozen or so oranges that Hua Mi had given him.
"My son is still in the emergency room. Thank you for the oranges. I'll be going now."
After saying that, the stall owner ran to the emergency room, where his child was still lying. He was lucky today; he not only sold all his skincare products but also got a dozen oranges.
He should give it to his son to try.
Hua Mi watched his departing figure, slowly shook her head, and told Da Fu to take the moisturizing skincare products back. She then took Xiao Fu to continue browsing the stalls.
With roads outside cities blocked and logistics becoming increasingly difficult, online shopping is no longer a reality.
What matters now is probably the amount of supplies each city has in stock.
Cities with insufficient reserves are on the verge of chaos.
More and more survivors, like the skincare product stall owner, will come to Xiangcheng from other cities.
As things stand, Xiangcheng currently has a fairly sufficient reserve of various supplies.
Even if there's a shortage of certain food supplies, there's always Hua Mi's oranges to fall back on, right?
If a person is so hungry that they'll even eat tree bark and mud, then even if an orange tastes terrible, they'll still have to eat it.
This reminded Hua Mi of the checkpoints that Gong Yi had set up at the city gate.
Hmm~ Hua Mi stopped and turned to Xiao Fu, saying,
“Go back and tell Uncle Cao Feng to prepare a big truck so we can go to the city gate to sell oranges.”
With Gong Yi's checkpoint in place, many people outside will definitely be unable to enter the city, at least not in the short term.
The survivors had traveled a long way, and were exhausted and hungry. When they saw oranges for sale at the city gate, wouldn't they rush up and grab them like crazy?
I'm sure Huami's oranges will sell well then.
Xiao Fu responded and ran off quickly.
After sending the two children away, Hua Mi arrived at the entrance of the emergency room.
The young nurse was eating an orange at the door.
Cao Feng came over for a visit and gave each of the medical staff in the emergency room a bag of oranges. The little nurse decided to eat two every day to supplement her vitamin C and keep her skin fair.
Hi~~
Hua Mi took a bag of oranges out of her handbag, greeted the nurse with a smile, and handed the bag of oranges to her.
"Don't be shy, don't be shy, eat up, eat more, finish it all in one day, and get more from me after work."
"No, no, no, Sister Hua, you already gave us a bag."
The nurse swallowed the orange segments with difficulty, refusing to accept Hua Mi's kindness any further.
To be honest, she didn't eat dinner tonight, only two oranges, because her stomach is only so big, and after getting vitamin C, she couldn't eat rice.
"Take it, take it. Why are you being so polite with me?"
Hua Mi very enthusiastically stuffed the bag of oranges into her hands and walked into the emergency room.
She gave oranges to the medical staff she met along the way.
She was taken all the way to the emergency room, but before she could find Ke Minghong, a blood-soaked person suddenly rushed out of the cubicle in front of her.
Hua Mi looked up and was surprised to see that it was Dai Fang.
Dai Fang woke up, her eyes glazed over, holding a shard of glass in her hand, and shouted:
"Fang Xin, Fang Xin, where are you? Come out! Fang Xin!!! Why did you push me? I kindly tried to save you, but you pushed me down the mountain, Fang Xin!!!"
The surrounding medical staff tried to approach, but she swept them away with a shard of glass.
"Don't touch me! None of you are good people! Don't touch me, Fang Xin! Come out here!!!"
She frantically slashed with shards of glass, not allowing anyone to approach her. With each movement, her wounds would burst open, spilling large amounts of blood.
A doctor nearby found it strange and whispered to the nurse,
"Where did this painkiller come from? It's even more effective than anesthesia."
In fact, Dai Fang was not going to survive. Her injuries were not only external, but also internal, due to the fall down the mountain.
She was completely unable to move, and her organs were rapidly failing. But after taking a painkiller, her pain was blocked, and she was able to stand up and run again.
However, she was burning through her last bit of bodily energy in this state, and if she couldn't calm down in time, she wouldn't last much longer before she died.
Even if she calms down in time, she will die soon.
"It was Fang Xin. She couldn't run anymore, so I went back to find her. We started arguing. She blamed me for angering them. She blamed me!!!"
Dai Fang was acting erratically and incoherently. Judging from her current state, she was definitely not in a conscious state. She was scratching around with a shard of glass, and she would hurt anyone who got close to her.
She kept shouting,
"She didn't want to run anymore, so I tried to drag her, and she pushed me off the mountain. Fang Xin, Fang Xin!!! I was so good to you, and you... *pfft*!!!"
A mouthful of blood spurted from Dai Fang's mouth. She stopped her frantic flailing and froze in place, like a clock that had stopped turning.
Then, she saw Hua Mi and smiled.
"You're right, we should stay away from her."
As soon as she finished speaking, Dai Fang collapsed to the ground, her eyes open but lifeless.
She died.
It turns out that not everyone can get through the pain after taking painkillers.
Painkillers are not a cure-all.
A crowd gathered around, and a doctor in a white coat rushed forward, took out a flashlight, and examined Dai Fang's pupils.
The time of Dai Fang's death was announced.
Hua Mi stood quietly at a distance, watching this farce unfold. This was the second time Dai Fang had died in front of her; in her previous life, Dai Fang had been killed once by Fang Xin.
This life will be the same.
What could she say? She could only offer Dai Fang a sigh.
Soon, caregivers came forward and carried Dai Fang's body away.
Hua Mi turned around, took out her phone, and sent a message to Gong Yi.
[Hua Mi: You said, if you could relive your life, where would you be in this moment of your past life?]
I need to control my diet! My weight is skyrocketing!
