The Pregnant Mommy Survive on Unlimited Supplies-Chapter 244 - 242 turned into a bunch of snowmen

"Mrs. Gong,"

On the way to the obstacle clearing point 1 on Xiang C Highway.

A young woman in a long silver-white down jacket, wearing glasses thicker than the bottom of a beer bottle, sat next to Hua Mi.

She introduced herself,

"My name is Shi Caixia, I am Miss Qin’s secretary. I will accompany you to C City for the entire journey to receive that one million tons of fabric."

As she spoke, Shi Caixia lifted her glasses on her face,

"For the other materials in the war reserve warehouse, you can also fully liaise with me."

She handed over a stack of documents, all signed by Qin Zhen and sealed with her private stamp.

Since Qin Zhen was still in postpartum confinement, she did not feel at ease letting Hua Mi go to C City alone.

So she assigned a secretary to Hua Mi.

Hua Mi rubbed her temples and looked at Shi Caixia sitting next to her, very serious about showing her the documents,

"Why are you showing them to me if you’ve already gone through them?"

"It’s essential to look. If you get motion sickness, then I will explain the contents of these documents one by one."

Shi Caixia prattled on, beginning her explanation in a stubborn and rigid manner.

Soon, Hua Mi became bored listening to her.

Just then,

"Starting safety scan..."

"Completed defense project."

"Defense Project: Water plant construction complete."

"Rating: Basic Protection Project."

"Received 15 square meters of Black Land, please select a location for Black Land."

"Received 1 lottery draw X1."

"Remaining lottery draws X16."

A stream of captions scrolled through her mind, driven by her desire not to idle away her time.

Hua Mi opened the lottery interface and randomly drew several prizes,

"Received one million units of stinky tofu base."

"Received ten million jin of lard."

"Received one million units of water sensation whiteness BB cream."

"Received one million units of self-heating shoe insoles (one size)."

"Received four million 25K cowhide notebooks (mathematics + copybook + grid + phonetic)."

"Remaining lottery draws X11."

The vehicle stopped suddenly. Hua Mi opened her eyes wide as the driver turned back with a distressed expression,

"No way, Mrs. Gong, we can’t go further, the snow is too heavy, the wheels are stuck in the snow."

The snow in front, like falling cotton, crazily fluttered with the wind.

Although this section of the road had already been cleared, the snow would accumulate again in less than half a day.

Shi Caixia looked out the car window at the thick snow in surprise,

"How can there be such heavy snow?"

She had been in Xiang City with Qin Zhen all this time, usually dealing with document exchanges and some minor official matters. It had been a long time since she returned to C City.

It wasn’t far from Xiang City’s border yet the snow on the road had already accumulated so thickly.

Shi Caixia mumbled to herself somewhat perplexedly,

"The snow in Xiang City isn’t this thick."

Sitting beside her, Hua Mi explained,

"That’s because, in and around Xiang City, there is a City Clearance Team specifically clearing the snow."

Eighth Uncle’s Clearing Team had already taken over the management layer of Xiang City’s Clearance Team.

Moreover, they had recruited many people to sweep inside and out, and their scope of operations had even expanded to B City.

Since the highways to A City and C City had not yet opened, the Clearance Team simply swept the cleared sections of the road every day.

The frequency was far lower than that of Xiang City, B City, and Xiang B Highway.

Even this snow had been swept once by the Clearing Team,

When Shi Caixia heard this, her expression was extremely surprised; she looked somewhat panicked and watched the driver reverse, anxiously asking,

"What do we do now? Can’t we get through?"

In fact, when Shi Caixia heard that Hua Mi was going to clear the construction site, she felt it was a bit unreliable.

After all, Hua Mi was already more than four months pregnant, and the supplies from C City couldn’t reach Xiang City; Hua Mi going alone wouldn’t solve anything.

It would be better to let Gong Yi in C City think of a solution.

If that failed, they would have to spend money in C City to have Gong Yi’s transport plane help bring over the hundred tons of fabric.

However, seeing the current snowy weather, Shi Caixia guessed that Gong Yi’s transport plane might not make it to C City either.

The snow was too heavy, and even if Gong Yi’s transport planes were intact, flying safely to C City in such severe weather would be fraught with difficulties.

The driver in the front sighed, reversing the vehicle, but the wheels were stuck completely, making backing up impossible.

So the driver abruptly decided, opened the car door,

"I’ll go shovel the snow, Mrs. Gong, stay in the car and don’t move."

"Wait a minute," Hua Mi reached out, took out two pairs of self-heating insoles from a big shoulder bag nearby, "Put these on for warmth."

The driver hurriedly thanked her and received them, placing the insoles in his shoes before getting out of the car.

Shi Caixia also put on the self-heating insoles and opened the car door,

"I’ll help."

It was a miscalculation; Qin Zhen hadn’t expected the snow outside Xiang City to be this thick, so he hadn’t sent several men to accompany Hua Mi either.

Now, they even needed Shi Caixia to help shovel the snow.

Seeing that Shi Caixia and the driver were too busy to cope, Hua Mi took out a pair of self-heating insoles for herself, placed them in her shoes, and got out of the car.

It would have been better not to leave the car, as the fierce cold wind almost blew her away once she stepped out,

but her feet were warm, showing that the quality of these heating insoles was very good.

"Mrs. Gong, don’t get out, hurry back into the car."

In the snowstorm, Shi Caixia shouted loudly.

She and the driver, each with a stick, were shoveling the snow under the tires.

Hua Mi approached and handed out two engineer shovels,

"Use these."

Then, she walked around the car, quickly collecting the snow under the other three wheels into a medium-sized Garbage Recycling Station.

Seeing Shi Caixia and the driver busily shoveling, Hua Mi didn’t disturb them and walked along the highway.

Behind her, Shi Caixia called her anxiously a few times, but Hua Mi acted as if she hadn’t heard and continued walking forward, collecting the heavy snow.

Her "Energy Light Group" had already accumulated a considerable amount.

So much so that it exceeded even the money in her "Cashier System."

She couldn’t even begin to count how many there were now.

Delighted, Shi Caixia caught up,

"Mrs. Gong, the road is now passable, it’s just that section had a lot of snow, but the road ahead is fine..."

Shivering, she said and moved closer to Hua Mi.

But then she saw Hua Mi stop in front of a pile of snowmen by the roadside.

Shi Caixia, puzzled, was just about to speak when she suddenly, in shock, realized that the pile consisted of people,

"These... these are all people...?"

Yes, people who had frozen to death by the roadside and were eventually covered in snow by the blizzard, turning into piles of snowmen.

Indeed, a pile, in groups of two or three, of varying sizes, likely a family who had been walking along the road and, unable to go further, decided to huddle together to rest and sleep.

Consequently, they had never woken up again.

Panic filled Shi Caixia’s eyes as she murmured,

"Is it that cold already? How did it get this cold?"

In Xiang City and B City’s tents, there were fires for warmth.

So, Shi Caixia had never seen people frozen to death.
