The Pregnant Mommy Survive on Unlimited Supplies-Chapter 291 - 290 She sets up a stall to sell knives
Chapter 291: 290 She sets up a stall to sell knives
These Xiang City Superpower Users made Hua Mi sigh involuntarily.
Indeed, in this life, seeing things through the eyes of someone who has been through it all just feels different.
She didn’t know how those first-generation Superpower Users had chosen in her previous life.
In the end, whether they had been used by someone or not.
By the time she realized it, Superpower Users had already taken up an absolute leadership position among the surviving humans.
And these Xiang City Superpower Users had clearly been fooled.
Using the same flawed yet sufficiently heart-stirring reasons.
This showed that these Superpower Users were still very naive.
Their thinking remained at a stage before complete despair.
In other words, they hadn’t realized the apocalypse had already arrived.
Hua Mi didn’t say anything else and turned her head to watch Zhou Cheng beheading zombies.
What surprised her was that Shi Caixia, trembling with fear, also picked up a watermelon knife from the ground, gesturing towards a zombie some ten-odd meters away.
It looked like she wanted to try cutting zombies.
Hua Mi walked further away, not intervening.
This was a growth experience that these people had to go through. If she took care of it all, the survivors would probably never learn to fight zombies on their own.
Seeing the bravery of Zhou Cheng and the trembling Shi Caixia, Li Haifu’s group of Superpower Users also began to show eagerness.
They could even move a mountain, why couldn’t they dare to kill zombies?
Someone turned their head, starting to look for a knife.
When they turned around, they saw Hua Mi had set up a stall behind them.
She was selling knives at the stall.
All kinds of knives, long, short, watermelon knives, machetes, paper cutting knives... all were sold at a fixed price, 10 Crystal Cores each.
"What are these Crystal Cores?"
Li Haifu came closer, he had his eye on a Tang blade on the stall.
This Tang blade was one Hua Mi had bought during a sweep of the rescue center.
It seemed to cost over 100 yuan.
She didn’t remember clearly, as there were many odds and ends in her level 30 storage.
The weapons laid out on the stall were just a tiny fraction of these "odds and ends."
Holding the Tang blade, Hua Mi walked to the side of a zombie head that had rolled over.
She stepped on the head with one foot, pressing down hard.
It was just like stepping on a tomato, squashing the head beneath her foot into mush.
Then, using the tip of the Tang blade, she started searching through the pile of mushy tomato.
Seeing her do this, Shi Caixia, who was some distance away, clutched her stomach, turned around, and vomited.
The faces of Li Haifu and a few other Superpower Users turned pale.
Among this group of people, Zhou Cheng was the steadiest.
But even Zhou Cheng, seeing Hua Mi’s actions, couldn’t help but avert his eyes.
He couldn’t bear to look.
Then he saw Hua Mi skillfully pick out a pomegranate seed-sized crystal rock from the pile of brain matter with the tip of her knife,
"Here, this is a Crystal Core, 10 of these Crystal Cores in exchange for a knife. You can take the knife on credit for now," she said.
Despite their small size, the energy contained within the Crystal Cores was not insignificant.
For the time being, such a small Crystal Core could replenish the Superpower Energy depleted by these Superpower Users.
But it couldn’t fill up Gong Yi’s energy.
Gong Yi’s spiritual power was originally the strongest in the Superpower System.
He had awakened earlier than anyone else.
So he needed Hua Mi’s "Energy Condensed Bead" to satisfy his Superpower Energy demands.
It was clear that the energy contained within the "Energy Condensed Bead" was much more abundant than that of the Crystal Core.
She had talked about zombie-related matters with Gong Yi, and Gong Yi had also educated Cao Feng and others.
And they rigorously self-inspected, immediately reporting any Superpower User that appeared within the garrison team.
Compared to wild Superpower Users like Li Haifu, Gong Yi’s garrison team would systematically receive all knowledge about zombies.
They didn’t have to experience the danger of the zombies firsthand.
The garrison would learn everything there was to know about zombies by heart in advance.
Li Haifu and the others eventually agreed to buy on credit.
They felt they should be able to overcome the psychological challenges and extract Crystal Cores the size of pomegranate seeds from that pile of brains.
Even though the process was extremely difficult for them.
From the moment they took the cold weapons from Hua Mi, they were continuously breaking through their own psychological barriers.
The first time they chopped a zombie’s head, the first time they crushed a zombie’s skull, the first time they fought off nausea to search for Crystal Cores amongst a pile of refuse...
Just this process alone had them screaming and shouting; it took them a full day to gradually find the Crystal Cores.
During that time, Zhang Jifeng from D City called Li Haifu several times.
Without exception, all calls were urging Li Haifu and other Superpower Users to hurry up and send the supplies back to D City.
At first, Li Haifu would take the calls.
But in the end, he couldn’t be bothered to answer.
Who wouldn’t be annoyed constantly being called at such a critical time, amidst the intense internal struggle of killing zombies and extracting Crystal Cores?
They were dealing with the zombies here because they had to be eliminated.
Sending supplies back to D City wasn’t an urgent matter.
The last time Zhang Jifeng called, he yelled at Li Haifu over the phone,
"What are you planning to do? Can you still follow the directions of D City’s management? I told you to send the supplies back, then hurry to Xiang City to buy more. Are you deaf or what?"
Li Haifu was already very impatient, searching for the Crystal Core within the brain tissue with the tip of his knife,
"Supplies, supplies, supplies, we’ve sent not a few supplies back to D City these days, for just that many people, it’s enough for half a year, what’s the rush?"
"You, you... do you want to be kicked out of the management?"
Zhang Jifeng was so angry that he let slip some harsh words.
But Li Haifu hung up on Zhang Jifeng’s call.
There was just no time whilst killing zombies.
Zhang Jifeng punched the wall in frustration.
At that moment, Zhong Zimo, sensing something was amiss, came over and asked,
"Why haven’t the batch of recruited Superpower Users returned?"
"They keep saying there are zombies, I think they just want to slip from our control."
Zhang Jifeng paced back and forth in the office with his hands on his hips.
Zhong Zimo’s expression didn’t look good.
The reason he stayed here, willing to cooperate with Zhang Jifeng and others to plunder supplies from Xiang City, was for the likes of Li Haifu’s group of Superpower Users.
With such a group of Superpower Users, anything could be taken care of.
But now, Zhang Jifeng was telling him that this group of Superpower Users had gone off to fight monsters, unwilling to be managed.
Zhong Zimo said, "How about this, I’ll go check on the Xiang D Highway."
He needed to see for himself what was going on, and if he found Li Haifu and the others, Zhong Zimo could also try to get closer to them.
Zhang Jifeng’s eyes rolled in their sockets, and he smiled very politely,
"You’ve only just arrived in D City, you’re not familiar with everything here, nor do you understand the character of people like Li Haifu and his group."
"How about this, I’ll go, you and Mi Guoyuan continue to figure out how to buy supplies from Xiang City."
Zhong Zimo had money, and at no cost could he let Zhong Zimo slip away.
