The Pregnant Mommy Survive on Unlimited Supplies-Chapter 286 - 285 I want to blow up the Xiang D Highway
Chapter 286: 285 I want to blow up the Xiang D Highway
As Shi Caixia uttered those words, it made Zhong Zimo and all the men around him furrow their brows tightly.
None of them had thought that after all this meticulous planning, they would get stuck on Hua Mi.
Mi Guoyuan’s boss wore an extremely unpleasant expression on his face.
He stared at Zhong Zimo as if looking at a dead man.
Just as Mi Guoyuan’s boss was about to speak, Zhong Zimo took the initiative,
"It seems this matter isn’t as easy as you all imagined. Why don’t we talk about cooperation?"
He realized he had fallen into a trap.
However, Zhong Zimo had money in his hands now and he knew Shi Caixia. It wasn’t entirely impossible to obtain supplies from Hua Mi.
The men around him gave Zhong Zimo unfriendly looks.
But Zhong Zimo was calmly straightening his clothes,
"In fact, I should have guessed earlier. You all must belong to a group that, for some unavoidable reason, has infiltrated the management hierarchy of D city."
"I’m not actually concerned with your real identities, because I am someone looking to achieve great things. As long as it benefits me, I don’t mind establishing a mutually beneficial cooperation with you."
He had originally come to cooperate with the management of D city. Now, he simply had to switch from cooperating with the management to some unscrupulous team.
Zhong Zimo excelled at surviving against the odds, able to grasp a lifeline even under the most unfavorable conditions.
Mi Guoyuan’s boss Zhang Jifeng looked at Zhong Zimo with a skeptical gaze.
He had also mixed within the management layers before and understood that not all the management members had fallen like him, willing to associate with riffraff.
It took a long while before Zhang Jifeng stepped forward and patted Zhong Zimo on the shoulder,
"That’s more like it. Had you shown this understanding earlier, those C city managers might not have died."
"And think about it, in such an environment where most people are dead, we should indeed align with capable individuals. The tepid methods of the management from before are outdated."
Zhong Zimo agreed deeply with what Zhang Jifeng said.
He let out a cold laugh, seemingly having no alternative but to join these people at this point.
With a consensus reached, Zhong Zimo began to make arrangements to purchase supplies for Xiang City.
According to his plan, if Hua Mi wouldn’t deliver supplies to D city, then they could go to Xiang City to transport them themselves.
In any case, Zhong Zimo had money, and what he now lacked were people.
Based on what Zhong Zimo knew, there were Superpower Users in D city.
And these incredibly strong Superpower Users were loyal to the D city management hierarchy.
The term "Superpower User" was really novel. Zhong Zimo hadn’t imagined that characters who should only exist in movies and TV shows could also appear in real life.
He was quite interested in these Superpower Users.
Therefore, Zhong Zimo once again approached Shi Caixia. He imparted righteousness over the phone,
"Hua Mi currently has so much material; she should share some with D city. Caixia, you should listen to me on this. I wouldn’t harm you."
"After all, you are my girlfriend."
"There are many survivors in D city who urgently need supplies, and I’m willing to pay. We’ll pay the market price. Can’t we transport the supplies ourselves?"
Clearly, Shi Caixia was moved by Zhong Zimo’s words.
She felt the deal was very beneficial, and Zhong Zimo wasn’t asking for supplies for free; he would pay for them.
But still, Shi Caixia emphasized,
"We have broken up. I am not your girlfriend. Between us, there’s only official business; let’s not talk about personal matters anymore."
Of course, Zhong Zimo wouldn’t agree. Now that he had fallen so low, he certainly wouldn’t agree to sever ties with Shi Caixia,
"That’s just you breaking up unilaterally. I’ve always said that I don’t agree with breaking up."
Having said that, Zhong Zimo hung up the phone. He knew Shi Caixia well; she was a stickler for details.
Due to her not-so-lovable personality and her less-than-stellar looks, there were no other suitors around her.
Even if Shi Caixia wanted to break up, after a while with no one else by her side, she would still end up by Zhong Zimo’s side.
And for Zhong Zimo to purchase supplies from Hua Mi, Shi Caixia was his best channel.
The rejected Shi Caixia hastily went to the outside of the C city supply depot and told Hua Mi about Zhong Zimo’s intention to purchase a large amount of supplies and handle the transportation himself.
However, she was directly rejected by Hua Mi.
The reason was simple; Hua Mi did not want to sell supplies in large quantities to Zhong Zimo.
Hua Mi, caressing her swollen belly, said to Shi Caixia,
"Commander Gong has already arrived in D city. He says that D city doesn’t have that many survivors."
"Selling these supplies to Zhong Zimo, he might not necessarily use them for the survivors."
Standing in the heavy snow, Shi Caixia looked astonished,
"Really? Then what about the survivors in D city?"
Such a big city, where had all the survivors gone?
Hua Mi did not respond. Her gaze shifted towards the direction of D city,
"Actually, I’m planning a trip to D city."
According to Huo Jing’s statistics, the Xiang D Highway had not been cleared for long, and there were not many survivors coming from D city.
The sporadic few survivors were mostly strong-bodied and had detoured from other cities to D city before heading up the Xiang D Highway to Xiang City.
Hua Mi remembered the group of zombies staggering clumsily, not knowing how to make the arduous journey. She knitted her brows,
"If necessary, I’m thinking of blowing up the Xiang D Highway."
This frightened Shi Caixia, who asked,
"What happened? It was not easy to clear that road."
Although it was not Hua Mi’s Clearing Team that had cleared the Xiang D Highway, it was still the result of the efforts of those Superpower Users in D city.
So blowing up that highway, wouldn’t it just increase the difficulty for the survivors from D city to reach Xiang City?
Hua Mi raised her hand and patted Shi Caixia’s shoulder,
"Trust me, I really don’t want to do this, but if the survivors in D city all turned into zombies and hid somewhere unknown..."
"Then blowing up the Xiang D Highway would be better than these zombies continuously coming our way."
Shi Caixia did not understand what Hua Mi was saying.
She understood every word Hua Mi said, but when combined, Shi Caixia just couldn’t comprehend.
Hua Mi pointed towards Zhou Cheng, squatting and drawing circles on the ground, speaking to Shi Caixia,
"Why don’t you ask Zhou Cheng? I need to organize things for the trip to D city. Zhou Cheng might explain it better than me."
Following the direction of Hua Mi’s finger, Shi Caixia gazed over at Zhou Cheng.
She couldn’t tell if it was just her imagination, but the once high-spirited man now looked as dejected as a big, clumsy dog squatted in the snow.
