Chapter 304: 303 Men work outside, women work inside
The Crystal Cores in the zombies’ brains, though adequate for Li Haifu and his team,
were entirely insufficient for Gong Yi.
Even Liu Shengyuan would find them inadequate.
As he spoke, Gong Yi, who was lying on the bed, pulled out a handful of Crystal Cores from the pocket of his garrison combat suit.
He handed them to Hua Mi,
"These are useless to me, you might as well take them."
His demeanor was docile, his posture submissive.
Nothing like a Commander who held the garrisons of several cities.
He seemed rather like a husband who’s too busy with work to spend time with his wife, thus handing over his allowance as soon as he got home.
Hua Mi looked down at the Crystal Cores in Gong Yi’s hand.
Her mind suddenly started to wander.
The shiny Crystal Cores in Gong Yi’s hand looked like a bunch of pomegranates-sized gems.
And such Crystal Cores, his pockets were still full of them.
Hua Mi came back to her senses, looked around for a net, and let Gong Yi pour all the Crystal Cores he had on him into it.
Driven by curiosity, she asked,
"What’s the difference between the energy from these Crystal Cores and from the ’Energy Condensed Beads’ when absorbed into the body?"
Seeing the vexation on Hua Mi’s face seemed to have somewhat subsided.
Gong Yi sat on the bed and smiled, patting the empty spot beside him,
"Come here, let me explain it to you, hey, don’t just stand there, you’ll get tired."
Once Hua Mi sat down, Gong Yi massaged her shoulders and said carefully,
"The difference is slight, but Crystal Cores feel like they have more impurities, not as pure as the energy from ’Energy Condensed Beads’."
"Are your feet beginning to swell? Let me massage them."
Originally, the Crystal Cores from zombies’ brains were not enough for Gong Yi, and upon being absorbed into the body, they still contained many impurities.
The sensation was like eating snails, finding sand inside,
Or biting into shrimp and getting a mouthful of dirt.
If absorbed too much, Superpower Users would feel physically uncomfortable.
Hua Mi let Gong Yi massage her legs as she thought,
In fact, in her past life, many Superpower Users were burly, with bad skin, lumpy bodies, and tempers that grew exponentially more volatile by the day.
Even female Superpower Users seldom looked soft and pretty.
Many analyses suggested that Crystal Cores from zombies and mutated flora and fauna, when absorbed, could make people savage.
Some Superpower Users who absorbed Crystal Cores for prolonged periods even risked losing their sanity.
So Hua Mi had long known about the impurities in these Crystal Cores.
She just hadn’t expected that her ’Energy Water Drops’ and ’Energy Condensed Beads’ were purer than the Crystal Cores.
"Then have your garrisons collect all the Crystal Cores they obtain and exchange them with me for ’Energy Condensed Beads’."
Hua Mi half lay down, enjoying Gong Yi’s service. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Crystal Cores also had their uses, they could be used as currency in future transactions.
By stockpiling more Crystal Cores now, she could use them for significant endeavors in the future...
After a while, Hua Mi suddenly remembered that she intended to tear her marriage certificate.
She opened her eyes, her face becoming stern suddenly, Gong Yi tilted his head and gently kissed her lips.
Hua Mi was momentarily stunned, her bitterness turning into utter astonishment.
Gong Yi laid down next to Hua Mi with a smile, positioning himself on the edge of the small bed before nudging Hua Mi,
"You sleep inside, I’m afraid you might roll off the bed during the night."
Unconsciously, Hua Mi shifted further into the bed, watching as Gong Yi turned off the light, the warmth of the nanny van dimmed immediately.
After a while, Hua Mi turned her head to look at the sharp lines on Gong Yi’s face in the darkness,
"Did I hear that Zhong Zimo prepared a few cars of women for you guys?"
Gong Yi, with his eyes closed, and one hand touching Hua Mi’s stomach,
"I had him take those women away, our garrison doesn’t get involved with that stuff."
If there’s a need, find a girlfriend and have a proper relationship.
If there’s no girlfriend, hide and handle it quietly by yourself.
What time is it now to still engage in such things, when the lives of survivors hang by a thread, who has the mood to fool around with women?
So Gong Yi immediately refused Zhong Zimo’s friendly gesture.
Hua Mi didn’t speak, seemingly assessing the credibility of Gong Yi’s words.
Then she heard Gong Yi say,
"This Zhong Zimo is too scheming; he’s not someone you can trust with your back."
Perhaps Zhong Zimo’s methods work well at the management level.
But to Gong Yi, those methods are off-putting.
From the beginning, Gong Yi’s path to power had always been about getting things done.
He not only disliked Zhong Zimo’s methods but also despised them deep down.
At this critical moment of life and death, Zhong Zimo definitely couldn’t bear the garrison’s trust.
Hearing Gong Yi put it this way, Hua Mi felt relieved, as long as he was aware himself.
However, the next morning, after Gong Yi and the garrison elite had gone to work,
Hua Mi saw that Zhong Zimo and Mi Guoyuan hadn’t left.
They had even bought some materials from Xiang City, appearing to plan on staying at the gates of D City for a long time.
Upon seeing Hua Mi getting off from the nanny van, Mi Guoyuan even greeted her with a smile,
"Mrs. Gong, you’re up."
Hua Mi nodded her head, seeing Zhong Zimo speaking with Shi Caixia, she stepped forward to find Shi Caixia.
However, her path was blocked by Mi Guoyuan stretching out his hand.
Hua Mi looked up, her face expressionless, staring at Mi Guoyuan.
His face still wore a considerate smile as he asked,
"Now that D City is quite chaotic, won’t Mrs. Gong consider going back to Xiang City?"
Hua Mi, with one hand on her waist and the other protecting her big belly, slightly tilted her head,
"No, the zombies in D City haven’t been completely eradicated yet, I won’t return for now."
Feeling that Mi Guoyuan was being somewhat overly intrusive, she lifted her foot to walk around him and continue forward.
Little did she know, Mi Guoyuan moved his feet and blocked Hua Mi again,
"I’m not being offensive, but since Mrs. Gong’s belly is quite large, and I hear you are expecting twins, with the outside environment being so harsh, it would be better for you not to take risks outside."
The domineering and advice-filled tone in his words finally made Hua Mi examine this man closely.
She asked,
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
Mi Guoyuan did not hold back,
"What I mean is, this place is ultimately a battlefield for men, and Mrs. Gong, being pregnant, should return to the safety of the ivory tower sooner rather than later. Besides, it would alleviate some burden from Commander Gong."
Perhaps many people said, Hua Mi had such foresight at the beginning of the disaster, stocking up on plenty of materials.
But at the end of the day, Hua Mi is a woman, and staying here will keep Gong Yi from being fully able to let go.
Even in the entertainment among men, Gong Yi would not participate.
Thus, Mi Guoyuan’s intent was to persuade Hua Mi to return to Xiang City soon and not to always mingle among men.
Seeing Hua Mi’s face displaying mixed emotions, Mi Guoyuan continued,
"With zombies emerging, aren’t you afraid, Mrs. Gong? For the sake of the children in your belly, it’s irresponsible of you to behave this way."
"Moreover, with the traditional saying that men should be the providers and women should take care of the household, surely Mrs. Gong understands such principles, right?"
