The Pregnant Mommy Survive on Unlimited Supplies-Chapter 254 - 252 This is definitely a massive material defense battle

Chapter 254: 252 This is definitely a massive material defense battle

However, no matter how He Xinghui tried to call the people she had ambushed around her,

without exception, no one answered.

Even in the end, the signal didn’t go through.

In that moment, she was extremely furious, but the first thing she suspected was not something else, but whether this Universal Signal Connector had some sort of problem?

After all, the current signal base stations had collapsed, and this so-called Universal Signal Connector seemed like a trick to deceive people.

If it weren’t for others hyping up this gadget like it was some kind of miracle, Brother Fen wouldn’t have had signal on his phone most of the time.

He Xinghui also wouldn’t have spent so much money to have someone purchase a Universal Signal Connector for her from Xiang City.

As it turned out, it had been only a few days since she got the Universal Signal Connector, and it was already useless.

He Xinghui spit in disgust, her eyes filled with gloom, as she had also planned to have the group lying in ambush secretly take out the pregnant woman.

Now she couldn’t get in touch with anyone.

He Xinghui tried calling Brother Fen again, and perhaps due to good luck, his phone connected.

But Brother Fen didn’t seem to care about the difficulties He Xinghui was facing. He didn’t wait for her to express her troubles.

The first thing Brother Fen said as he opened his mouth was to ask He Xinghui,

"When will we have a clear understanding of the defensive firepower? When can we take action?"

He Xinghui was completely dumbfounded, with the fear of being dominated by Brother Fen creeping up to the forefront of her mind. She obediently cast her eyes down and answered,

"I’m on it right now and will take care of it as quickly as possible."

"Don’t call if it’s not necessary, be careful not to expose yourself."

With that, Brother Fen hung up on He Xinghui. He didn’t care about the process; what he wanted now was results.

The Garrison in City C had already started retaliating, and a body of a little street urchin was discovered dumped in the snowy ground near the gates of City C.

This made Brother Fen very angry.

He urgently needed to kill a group of City C Garrison to send a message to Zhou Cheng.

After Brother Fen hung up on her, He Xinghui stood silently in a secluded spot before raising her eyes to observe the patrolling Garrison nearby.

Finding out the Garrison’s deployment seemed unusually simple. Aside from being unable to access the resource warehouse, He Xinghui was free to go anywhere outside the warehouse.

Hua Mi and Shi Caixia had set up a large tent outside the resource warehouse together, with Shi Caixia even having a smokeless wood stove shipped over by the driver.

The road to Xiang C was clear, and in no time at all, less than half a day, a pile of contracts as high as a small mountain were delivered to Hua Mi’s tent from Xiang City.

She sat beside the smokeless wood stove, texting with Gong Yi, while exaggeratedly looking at the contracts piled up next to the stove.

Hua Mi asked Shi Caixia,

"Do you really need to turn these cooperation projects into such thick piles of contracts?"

"Wasn’t it popular to sign contracts electronically online before the disaster?"

"Now with the environment like this, in this survival of the fittest, if I want to back out, I won’t care about whatever contract I signed with you."

"Just a piece of paper, with no actual binding power."

Now, with no arbitrating body, if Hua Mi were to breach the contract, she would face no punishment.

Thus, she felt that Qin Zhen taking these things so seriously was somewhat unnecessary.

Shi Caixia seriously lifted her beer-bottle-bottom glasses and replied sincerely,

"Of course, we know the environment has changed. You hold the absolute initiative, but we are people who do big things."

"Miss Qin said when you do big things, there must be rules. Even if the binding power of these contract terms is very weak, our side also needs to seriously follow the rules and regulations in handling things."

Hua Mi paused from texting Gong Yi, and after giving some thought to Shi Caixia’s words,

"You are people with vision."

Receiving genuine praise from Hua Mi, Shi Caixia blushed and smiled. She picked up a contract that was thicker than a dictionary, flipped to the first page,

"Ah Mi, let me explain this to you. This contract for jointly constructing new villa complexes, given the current population total in Xiang City, is completely feasible to build several more of these complexes..."

The population in other cities was dwindling, becoming less and less, to the point that they might already be ghost towns.

For instance, City A was now in ruins, devoid of any inhabitants.

But the population of Xiang City was increasing, expanding by more than double compared to the years before the continuous disasters.

No one had the time or energy to count the exact number of survivors inside and outside Xiang City now.

Anyway, Xiang City was no longer able to accommodate more survivors.

Expansion of Xiang City was inevitable.

Qin Zhen had previously negotiated a contract with Hua Mi, planning to sell the unfinished villas left by Brother Fen to the wealthy people of City C.

Hua Mi was in charge of construction, Qin Zhen was responsible for selling.

Now, construction wasn’t even finished, and Qin Zhen had already sold all the properties.

All of them, without exception.

Therefore, Qin Zhen wanted to plan a few more villa complexes between Xiang City and the unfinished complexes.

If there was going to be construction, workers would be necessary. City C’s depot had some building materials, and Qin Zhen wanted to use these materials to negotiate terms with Hua Mi.

She hoped to build more villas, skyscrapers... utilizing City C’s labor force.

Hua Mi, fighting sleepiness, slowly said,

"Let’s forget about skyscrapers. Have your Miss Qin alter the contract—all should be constructed as villas. Who knows what other calamities may follow?"

"Building them tall makes them targets, likely to collapse."

Truly, these were words of gold and jade from Hua Mi.

Caixia lowered her head, scribbling on the contract, about to explain the next one.

The drowsy Hua Mi suddenly leaped up,

"He Xinghui has finished their work, and the people behind him are going to act immediately."

"What?"

Caixia raised her face, which was hidden behind glasses as thick as beer bottles, and looked blankly at the now energized Hua Mi.

So, what was supposed to happen now?

Who was behind He Xinghui? Zhou Cheng?

"I’ll go out and have a look; a fight is definitely brewing here! You find a good place to hide."

Hua Mi had received a text from Gong Yi, who was lying in wait on the periphery of the depot.

These past few days, He Xinghui had been wandering around, nearly visiting every single garrison outpost in the depot of City C.

The garrison members symbolically stopped He Xinghui, but after seeing her "close relation" with Zhou Cheng, allowed her to move around freely.

The bottom that He Xinghui had scouted out was that the guards for City C’s depot consisted of only about fifty people, with fifty-some guns...

Due to the shortage of ammunition, the City C garrison had not achieved the scale of hundreds of guns per person.

As Hua Mi stepped out of her tent, Zhou Cheng came straight towards her.

He lowered his voice and said to Hua Mi,

"Quick, take your little secretary and hide in the depot. In a few hours, we’ll be ’ambushed.’"

This message was sent to Zhou Cheng by Gong Yi, who was ambushed on the outer perimeter.

Brother Fen had sent out over 300 people, ready to ambush Zhou Cheng.

Additionally, he had mobilized more than a dozen trucks, waiting to seize City C’s depot and drag away all the consumables, drinks, and other supplies.

This was surely going to be a grandiose battle to protect the resources.
