The Pregnant Mommy Survive on Unlimited Supplies-Chapter 246: It’s been 244 hard days

Inside the motorhome, the construction foreman, Contractor Bao, anxiously ruffled his hair.

Because no one was getting haircuts at this time, his hair, which hadn’t been cut for over four months, had already reached his shoulders.

At this moment, Old Bao, with a head of elegant shoulder-length hair, heard the horn outside the motorhome and opened the privacy curtain of the window to look.

All the survivors who had been crowding around outside had dispersed to form a line.

He hurriedly opened the car door and ran outside to check the situation.

In the end, he learned that Hua Mi had arrived.

Contractor Bao breathed a sigh of relief. A man from Xiang City, carrying an engineer shovel, ran over and asked anxiously:

"Boss, we’ve just been hired as Xiang City’s laborers. Shall we start working right now?"

"Clear the road quickly, or who knows how many survivors will get stuck on the road."

The obstacles on this road were incredibly complicated, so intricate that even Contractor Bao was startled and had to come supervise the work himself.

Even with him present, the road-clearing project was not yet one-third complete.

Contractor Bao rubbed his racing heart and waved his hand,

"No rush, now that Miss Hua is here, there’s no hurry. First, set up and secure the tents well."

"That way, when you leave, you can leave the tents behind for other survivors to use."

"After you’ve set up the tents, warm yourselves by the fire, and then sweep all the snow off the road..."

Having said that, Contractor Bao busied himself with his own tasks.

The Xiang City laborers left behind had anxious looks on their faces. Weren’t they supposed to hurry up and start working?

Why weren’t they in a rush? How many Xiang City people’s survival would be delayed for every minute the road wasn’t cleared?

However, Contractor Bao had an air of mystery, explaining nothing, and they were powerless to ask for further clarification.

It was Shi Caixia who arranged for everyone to set up their tents and saw wood, but when she turned around,

she found the workers she’d just recruited were all using their engineer shovels to clear snow by the roadside.

Her temper flared up she stomped over to the group of laborers,

"Didn’t I tell you to go find Old Bao, let him arrange for you to join the workers from Xiang City and clear the obstacles?"

"Do you realize how many Xiang City survivors this road affects? How many people will be stuck in Xiang City and unable to come over if it’s not cleared promptly?"

"How can you be so disappointing?..."

She ranted on and on, and as she did, she began to cry. Life was too hard; it was too difficult to get by.

Not only were there natural disasters, but the survivors were also disobedient.

She had told them, told these strong men to go to Boss Bao, and yet they were still here shoveling snow.

If Hua Mi knew that Shi Caixia hadn’t completed her assignment, Hua Mi would be angry.

And when she became angry, she wouldn’t give Xiang City any more supplies.

Shi Caixia, with glasses thick as the bottom of a beer bottle, was tortured by this inexplicable anxiety.

All she could do was hope that the survivors from Xiang City could be a bit more self-reliant, a bit more assertive.

"The help from others is not obligatory; she is not from our Xiang City and won’t always be so kind to us."

"That’s why we need to be more assertive, to clear the obstacles quickly—it’s a matter of life and death for Xiang City itself..."

Shi Caixia shouted loudly, preaching the importance of self-reliance.

The men in front of her all hung their heads, looking utterly dejected.

Contractor Bao ambled over and said to Shi Caixia,

"The road is clear. They can just shovel the snow."

Miss Hua had just said so over the phone, so why was Shi Caixia anxious for nothing?

Old Bao now had the experience that wherever Sister Hua appeared, there was no need to worry; one could simply lie in wait for the difficulties to be resolved.

Shi Caixia’s mouth gaped open, several snowflakes drifting into her mouth as she stared at the Contractor in disbelief,

"The road’s clear??"

Hadn’t they said the blockage was complicated? After clearing it for so long, wasn’t one-third of the road still blocked?

And now the road was clear?

The Contractor, his mouth revealing a set of gold teeth, nodded,

"Of course. You can count on me. Just get your people to shovel the snow with extra effort, and make sure the snow doesn’t cover the road again."

He waved his hands, signaling his workers to get on the RV and head out to shovel snow at the front.

Even though the obstruction was cleared, they had to keep shoveling the snow, or in a few hours, vehicles would be stuck in it.

It would be even harder for people to pass through.

Hua Mi, who had made a mad dash to Xiang City, found a place to rest.

Who knew why she had tirelessly scavenged various waste materials in the medium-sized recycling station, a task that could have been swiftly completed and a route that could have been quickly traversed?

She had dragged it out for two or three hours before she finally finished traveling the Xiang C Highway.

Because she was heavy, she couldn’t run...

At that moment, she finally felt a bit tired.

Seeing that there was no one around, Hua Mi released a babysitter car from storage unit 24 level 1 to take a break.

This babysitter car, a prize she had won, was brand-new, never used before.

So the car didn’t have a retrofitted non-smoke wood stove.

Hua Mi felt a twinge of regret; she wished she had thought to collect a batch of non-smoke wood stoves for storage unit 24 level 1.

How was she supposed to keep warm now?

After thinking for a while, she had no choice but to sit cross-legged in the icy cold babysitter car, toying with an "Energy Light Group" she had taken out.

She tossed the ball of light up and down in her hand, wanting to sleep but not daring to, afraid she might freeze to death if she drifted off.

At this moment, Hua Mi received a call from Gong Yi.

He asked anxiously on the other end of the phone:

"Where are you? Why have you run off to Xiang City? Listen, it’s extremely dangerous outside Xiang City right now."

"Extremely, extremely dangerous..."

Because Chen Hu was in Xiang City, inside and outside the city had become a complete mess.

The chaos was to the point where Zhou Cheng’s garrison could no longer maintain control.

For a while, they had managed to keep order, but in a few days, as the weather grew so cold, Chen Hu’s people completely lost their cover.

They engaged in all sorts of activities, anything to survive, fighting and killing without restraint.

In just a few short days, Chen Hu’s men had killed several garrison members.

The garrison had hardly restored order when, with their backs turned, they would be ambushed by thugs disguised as survivors.

If it were just one or two incidents, it might have been manageable, but now, incidents involving conflict with the garrison were happening everywhere in and around Xiang City.

Hua Mi listened to Gong Yi’s words, inadvertently throwing the "Energy Light Group" in her hand onto a nearby socket.

"Zizz—" The socket made a noise, and Hua Mi looked up to see the cart’s Coulomb meter indicated that the battery, originally at 20%, had suddenly been charged to 30%.

Yes, her "Energy Light Group" could be used to recharge power banks, something Hua Mi had forgotten.

She hurriedly threw several more "Energy Light Groups" into the socket, charging the babysitter car’s battery to 100%.

Then she turned on the small household air conditioner in the car.

Basking in the warm air, Hua Mi calmly gave Gong Yi her location and asked him to come find her.

After hanging up the phone, Hua Mi had not yet rested when she heard a woman’s screams from outside the babysitter car,

"Ah ah ah, let go of me, you beasts..."
