Chapter 384: 375 is giving birth while being involved in a gunfight.
The harsh survival environment in E City had led to an increasingly dehumanizing view towards the labor forces of E City.
Chen Hu had ordered the construction of a city wall in E City, so the robust labor forces from Xiang City set out toward E City and began their endless, around-the-clock labor.
The Qu Family sent additional supervisors, dividing them into several groups, to watch over these survivors 24 hours a day.
Once any survivors were caught slacking off, the supervisors would approach and beat them with their fists and feet.
Moreover, they wouldn’t even allow survivors to leave E City.
Some survivors, preferring to forgo their pay, not wanting a single ration, still wished to leave E City.
Their fate ended up being stripped of their clothes and tied to a post for all to see.
Under the leadership of Hu Yanxiang, it was said they had confiscated all the Energy Water Drops from the survivors.
Several people had died as a result.
A curious vendor asked,
"Aren’t Energy Water Drops readily available in our Xiang City? Is it worth losing one’s life over?"
He couldn’t quite understand, just how scarce were resources in E City?
Because he had always stayed inside Xiang City, never venturing out, he lacked a true understanding of the outside world’s conditions.
The vendor only knew that currently, on the Western Xiang City construction site, Energy Water Drops could be found everywhere.
As long as one participated in the construction of the city wall, Energy Water Drops were freely provided.
Chi Chuan didn’t know how to explain that E City was exaggeratedly poor.
All he could do was continue,
"Because those past survivors, lacking supplies to escape, were closely watched by the E City base."
"So they found a way to send us a message, hoping we would extend a helping hand to rescue them."
Hearing the message brought by Chi Chuan, whether it was Cao Feng or Qin Zhen, or even Hua Mi, all frowned.
With her belly protruding, Hua Mi asked coldly,
"When they left initially, they were so resolute; why do they want to return now?"
When Hu Yanxiang had led that group of survivors away, she had told them clearly.
That in the future, no matter what happened, Xiang City would not accept them back, not open its gates, nor extend a welcoming embrace.
This had been stated very clearly, and it wasn’t like it hadn’t been said beforehand.
Qin Zhen nodded and said,
"Moreover, Xiang City Base is now facing internal and external troubles. We have many matters to attend to; where do we find the time and energy to rescue this group of labor forces that has left?"
The labor forces had left Xiang City in batches, with the first group led away by Hu Yanxiang numbering over a thousand.
Through successive departures, it was said that by the time they reached E City, only about a thousand had remained.
Later, as the environment outside the Xiang City Base continued to worsen dramatically, more and more people left Xiang City Base.
Now there are probably two to three thousand survivors just in E City.
To rescue these two to three thousand people from E City would require a tremendous expenditure of manpower and resources.
Currently, Xiang City Base was already short-staffed.
Hua Mi flatly refused,
"No, let them find their own way to the outskirts of Xiang City Base. Don’t go to Southern Xiang City or Xiang City East; those areas are already sealed off."
"Xiang City West will also soon be closed."
"If they can make it to Xiang City West before it gets sealed off, then the Xiang City Base can accept them."
"If they cannot reach Xiang City West, then leave it be. Their fate is their own choice, and no one else is to blame."
After saying this, Hua Mi rose to her feet with her belly and walked over to Cao Feng, lifted her hand, and gave Cao Feng’s shoulder a strong tap,
"I know that as Garrison members, it goes against your professional ethics to stand by and watch someone die."
"But you need to think about what the situation is now. Your Commander is up north resisting the Zombie Tide."
"He didn’t even take many people with him up north; almost all of Xiang City Base’s elite Garrison forces have been pulled to the north."
"And those of you remaining in Xiang City Base, some need to be dispatched to the south, some to the east, with even more focus on the west, where the fight is tough."
"I predict that in no more than two days’ time, the zombies from the south will sweep into the west. We don’t have much time. We shouldn’t spread our already thin resources to help a group that doesn’t even know what they want for themselves."
The survivors admitted they had made a mistake, and Hua Mi also thought they had made a mistake.
In the messages sent to Xiang City, they deeply regretted their initial stubborn behavior.
