The Pregnant Mommy Survive on Unlimited Supplies-Chapter 285 - 284 Because D City does not have a teleportation point

Chapter 285: 284 Because D City does not have a teleportation point

Mi Guoyuan stepped forward to check the body on the ground.

His expression grave, he looked towards Zhong Zimo, his lips quivering.

Next to him, an indifferent Yellow Hair administrator said,

"What a pity, dying before enjoying the good days. Forget it, just bury him."

With that, a few men with a strong presence of the streets came over, hoisted the corpse of the C City administrator, and prepared to take it outside to dispose of it.

Zhong Zimo raised his hand, "Wait."

His man, just like that, taken away without any explanation or a proper send-off?

A D City administrator beside him patted Zhong Zimo on the shoulder,

"Secretary Zhong, where are there no dead these days? Right, just move on, our plans from yesterday still need to continue as usual."

"If you’re short-staffed, we can assign a few men to you."

Zhong Zimo’s face turned sour as he eyed the approaching strangers.

He had no idea about the capabilities of these men.

They seemed to be a random selection from the D City administrator, likely meant to fill the gaps of those who died by Zhong Zimo’s side.

But in fact, it seemed to carry a hint of surveillance over Zhong Zimo.

Hidden behind his glasses, Zhong Zimo’s eyes flashed as he looked towards Mi Guoyuan.

A man spoke to Mi Guoyuan, whose expression was ugly, but he still nodded.

And so the C City administrators’ corpses, without any explanation for their deaths, were quickly taken away.

The group, as before, chatted and laughed, except for Zhong Zimo.

He was, just like that, taken down to the second basement level again.

Mi Guoyuan approached and said in a low voice to Zhong Zimo,

"Their idea is that we should still use the pretense of C City’s reconstruction to buy supplies from Hua Mi. I heard you have a girlfriend named Shi Caixia; she’s currently working for Hua Mi."

"You could use your relationship with Shi Caixia."

Amidst the colorful lights, Zhong Zimo stared solemnly at Mi Guoyuan,

"What the hell is going on? Mi Guoyuan, I came to your D City with Ma Yongchun’s secretary team because I trusted you."

"Don’t you know, every person in this secretary team is talented, the pride of the sky."

"And yet, within a single real day of arriving, more than half of my team is dead."

"How are we supposed to rebuild two cities like this?"

Standing before Zhong Zimo, Mi Guoyuan bowed his head and pinched the bridge of his nose, finding his explanation somewhat laborious.

But still, he apologized,

"I’ve slowly begun to realize that something’s wrong. My superiors told me that all we needed was to use C City’s reconstruction as an excuse to acquire a large amount of supplies."

Whether the reconstruction happens or not doesn’t actually matter.

There’s a lot Mi Guoyuan doesn’t understand; he was just a very insignificant staff member in D City’s administration.

He has no jurisdiction over the sweeping changes in the D City management cadre.

If it hadn’t been for the fatalities today, with C City administrators dying right in front of Mi Guoyuan, he wouldn’t even have known where the problem lay.

The problem is, it seems like the entire D City management is being controlled by an invisible hand.

Nobody knows what they’re really doing; they just need to figure out how to get supplies for D City.

Zhong Zimo’s face was ghastly,

"So D City has really played a smart game, using C City’s reserve funds to hoard goods for yourselves?"

Mi Guoyuan didn’t respond; at first, he thought that wasn’t the case, but now he felt that it was exactly that.

Zhong Zimo turned around to leave immediately,

"This money is meant for the reconstruction of C City. Who knows if you’ll kill the donkey as soon as its done grinding, after you deplete my funds?"

"Mi Guoyuan, our cooperation is over."

In the long corridor of the sub-basement, Mi Guoyuan stood behind Zhong Zimo and whispered,

"The matter now is beyond our control."

Mi Guoyuan too was innocent; he had only found out today that he’d been used.

But he accepted it better than Zhong Zimo. Seeing Zhong Zimo stop ahead, Mi Guoyuan breathed a sigh of relief and whispered,

"Your C City administrators were killed by someone breaking their necks."

Zhong Zimo whipped around, staring fiercely at Mi Guoyuan in the dim light.

He nodded, took two steps towards Zhong Zimo, and said,

"Regardless, we need to ensure our survival first, before we can think of a way out."

Clearly, this was a huge trap, and Zhong Zimo had stepped right into D City’s snare.

There was simply no escape.

He glared hatefully at Mi Guoyuan, who spread his hands helplessly and sighed.

Next, Mi Guoyuan’s superior came and told Zhong Zimo bluntly to contact Shi Caixia to buy a large quantity of supplies.

He asked Zhong Zimo to turn on his phone’s loudspeaker.

A group of men gathered around Zhong Zimo, listening to his conversation with Shi Caixia.

Zhong Zimo, frustrated inside, knew he had no choice but to comply.

If he didn’t, he guessed he would be the one to suffer.

Once the call connected, Shi Caixia’s voice emanated from the phone,

"Hello? Senior brother? Weren’t you headed to D City?"

Caixia wasn’t surprised to hear from Zhong Zimo again.

Zhong Zimo was not the type to settle for mediocrity.

Eager to rebuild C City and relish being at the helm of the city, he would definitely scheme in all directions.

So even though Zhong Zimo went to D City, neither Caixia nor Hua Mi thought that Zhong Zimo would fade into obscurity.

Frowning, with the men surrounding him, Zhong Zimo, following Mi Guoyuan’s superior’s cues, said to Shi Caixia,

"Yes, I’ve reached D City and we’ve agreed on a collaborative project. I would like to purchase a large amount of supplies from Hua Mi to deliver to D City."

He listed some types of supplies, including vegetables, rice, grains and oils, winter clothing, and so on...

And, following Mi Guoyuan’s superior’s cues, he added,

"D City is developing quite well; it’s a city with a bright future. Using a huge amount of supplies to kickstart the city’s growth, it won’t fall behind Xiang City in the future."

Zhong Zimo’s words sounded very formal and didn’t seem out of place.

After all, in many people’s eyes, D City also had many survivors who needed large quantities of supplies.

So Zhong Zimo purchasing a large amount of supplies from Hua Mi to assist the survivors of D City was not wrong.

However, Caixia replied from the other end of the phone,

"Ah Mi just issued a notice, she’s not sending large quantities of supplies to D City."

Because D City didn’t have a teleport point.

Transporting large quantities of supplies overland was prone to robbery.

Vasily’s threat was ever-present, and Hua Mi didn’t want Vasily to benefit.

Since the survivors of D City wanted supplies, they should find a way to buy them in Xiang City.
