The Pregnant Mommy Survive on Unlimited Supplies-Chapter 234: Is 232 a bit inauthentic?
Chapter 234: Is 232 a bit inauthentic?
Watching over a hundred survivors leave, An Xiaoyu felt anxious with a look of helplessness as he watched Ma Zhixuan.
Speaking of An Xiaoyu, he was a university classmate of Qin Ziran and Hua Mi, and an alumnus of Qin Ziran.
However, his academic performance was far from as good as that of Qin Ziran. After graduation, he did not find any decent job.
When asked what he usually did, it was probably just going to work to do a boring job, then gaming and dating after work... This was the lifestyle of all young people nowadays.
He didn’t have enough guts to impress anyone, even lacking the broad perspective required of senior team leaders, which An Xiaoyu was sorely missing.
Of course, Mrs. Qin was even more so.
She had a regular job, only needing to focus on her assigned tasks at work, earning a steady income every month without any worries, and she lived quite arrogantly.
In Mrs. Qin’s eyes, those without regular jobs had no future.
Because of Ma Zhixuan’s influence, Mrs. Qin and An Xiaoyu quickly rose to become top management in the team.
But in their eyes, the world was only this big, and the methods to form a team in the apocalypse were limited.
Ma Zhixuan frowned, and the nearby Mrs. Qin advised,
"Everyone says there’s strength in numbers, Zhixuan, what I’ve never told you is that after the weather gets colder, the survivors in the city start collecting wood to burn, and outside Xiang City there’s not even a blade of grass left."
The snow was indeed falling heavily. Previously, due to the collapse of mountains and rivers, the trees were trapped between the soil layers and thick snow, so there actually wasn’t much available.
Everyone knew that these snow-laden days might last a long time, so survivors would store some firewood in case of emergency.
Having listened to Mrs. Qin’s advice, Ma Zhixuan eventually nodded and ordered An Xiaoyu,
"Then go find that Hua Mi and tell them we want to buy a large amount of firewood."
If it weren’t for the team members, Ma Zhixuan would not have chosen to compromise with Hua Mi.
He was initially squabbling with Hua Mi over the price of these firewood, and now he was forced to come forward and purchase Hua Mi’s firewood at a rate of 5 yuan per kilogram.
Ma Zhixuan couldn’t swallow his pride.
Luckily, he was now the supreme leader of the team, not needing to handle things personally.
Seeing this, the survivors all showed satisfied smiles on their faces.
However, when An Xiaoyu and his people reached the RV supermarket and found Ye Rong to buy 10,000 kilograms of firewood,
Ye Rong glanced at Alumnus An,
"No, firewood is a scarce resource now, not available for bulk purchase."
An Xiaoyu was stunned and immediately asked anxiously,
"Why? Isn’t money enough?"
"Money is not enough, this world doesn’t solve all problems with money. You have money, we don’t have firewood, what can be done? Please step aside."
Ye Rong was too busy to discuss this matter with An Xiaoyu, and other resources might be sold in bulk, but there really was no firewood available.
Hua Mi had planted so many trees, but they could only deliver a few thousand kilograms of wood to the RV supermarket each day.
The Wood Shaving Factory had to process the wood, shaving it into unified specifications for sale.
Tens of thousands of kilograms of wood were processed, and just at the Garrison, they needed to distribute tens of thousands of kilograms of wood every day.
Currently, besides providing heating for the garrisons of Xiang City, A City, and B City, they also had to look after Zhou Cheng’s side at C City.
The remaining wood was for Yang Honglin’s police squad, the Straw Matting Factory, and the Down Jacket Factory for heating, and also for retail to the survivors in several cities.
There simply wasn’t enough to go around.
Even the RV supermarket, Chi Chuan’s buying and selling gang, Eighth Uncle’s Clearing Team, and the Contractor’s construction crew used the leftover wooden scraps for heating.
Where on earth would Hua Mi arrange 10,000 jin of wood for An Xiaoyu?
Only when An Xiaoyu left dejectedly did Hua Mi step out from the side, walking on the snow, and said to Ye Rong,
"This man’s capital is problematic. Have someone follow him and investigate."
She knew An Xiaoyu. Where did he get so much money to buy all these supplies?
He must be backed by someone.
Upon investigating, Ma Zhixuan was exposed almost immediately.
The investigation process was incredibly simple because Ma Zhixuan made no attempts to hide.
He held vast sums of money in Xiang City, hoarding supplies and aggressively recruiting survivors, making himself a target for many.
He had no sense of danger.
Ye Rong exaggeratedly handed Hua Mi a stack of photos, all taken by a paid spy, capturing images of Ma Zhixuan.
In the photos, Ma Zhixuan was flanked by companions, with a table in front of him piled high with mineral water, oranges, grapefruits, apples, sour cabbage fish... It looked excessively lavish.
"What do we do now? With Ma Zhixuan backing An Xiaoyu, where does Ma Zhixuan get all this money from? His men just tried to buy firewood from us, and after being refused, they bought supplies for 1000 trucks from us."
Ye Rong frowned. The supplies for the 1000 trucks had already been delivered to Ma Zhixuan and now he wanted to buy again.
And looking at the trend, he was far from stopping his purchases.
Hua Mi took the stack of photos, looking at each one nonchalantly,
"Did he mention what kind of supplies he wants for the 1000 trucks this time?"
In the motorhome supermarket, unless a specific type of supplies is requested, the Garrison handles the loading.
Whether it’s a truckload of fruits or mineral water, all are randomly loaded by the Garrison.
Of course, there were also instances where a bit of water, some food, and some firewood was mixed into a single load.
Small vendors organizing bulk purchases generally send someone first to check what is loaded on the truck, then decide whether to buy the entire load.
Ye Rong shook her head,
"Ma Zhixuan has gotten careless, only sending An Xiaoyu to say they will buy supplies for another 1000 trucks, without specifying any types."
Hua Mi laughed from her seat,
"Turn down money? Am I an idiot? If he wants to buy, let’s sell. I still have some Ganggang Little Scholar’s Calligraphy, badminton rackets, spittoons, health pots, mechanical pencils... let’s give it all to him."
Anyway, those supplies would be loaded on trucks, truckload by truckload, to Ma Zhixuan’s team’s gathering place, and Ma Zhixuan wouldn’t scrutinize them.
He handled things on a large scale, he was a big shot, and big shots with money buy supplies by the thousand trucks.
Did Ma Zhixuan even check the oranges, grapefruits, and other fruits previously delivered?
He was busy dealing with the women flocking to him, probably not caring about these details at all.
Ye Rong answered, a bit worried,
"Doing this, might it be a bit unscrupulous?"
She didn’t know where Hua Mi got all these Ganggang Little Scholar’s Calligraphy, badminton rackets, spittoons, health pots, mechanical pencils...
But these items, sitting in the RV supermarket, no one wanted them.
They had been on the shelves for a long time without selling.
Ma Zhixuan’s money surely came from City C, taking advantage like this, it wouldn’t be good if Qin Zhen and Ma Yongchun found out.
"Don’t worry," Hua Mi raised an eyebrow, "Qin Zhen has been putting up with this brother-in-law for a long time."
