Chapter 26: 026 Those who should understand, do understand.
As Fang Xin tangled with Qin Ziran on the sofa, the light above their heads flickered.
The next instant, the whole world seemed to tremble.
“Ah, Brother Ziran, save me.”
Fang Xin felt weightless as she and Qin Ziran, both without pants, fell down.
Qin Ziran’s mansion had collapsed in the earthquake…
At that time, Hua Mi, whom Fang Xin had so bitterly despised, was riding her second-hand flatbed cart, loaded with goods, weaving through the long stretch of stall vendors.
She had no time to seek out Fang Xin, for there were too many things to attend to now, these everyday people had to step aside.
Not to mention, Qin Ziran, in her previous life, when the apocalypse arrived, Qin Ziran had vanished, rolling out of the lives of both Hua Mi and Fang Xin.
Therefore, regarding the memories of Qin Ziran, it had been a lifetime’s gap for Hua Mi, leaving only a faint trace in her mind, which, if not deliberately thought about, she couldn’t remember at all.
[Initiating safety scan…]
[Completing defense project]
[Defense project rating: Basic wire fencing]
[Received 2 square meters of Black Land in the supermarket backyard, please select a location for the Black Land.]
A series of prompts appeared before Hua Mi’s eyes as she hit the brakes hard.
Unexpectedly, Huo Jing had worked late today, finishing the wire fencing project for her.
Hua Mi stopped in front of a stall, her thoughts still not quite settled, when she saw red patches and green patches in front of her… The red areas couldn’t be chosen for the Black Land, the green ones could.
Could it be that even though this place was so far from her Lotus Shengxing Supermarket, she could still establish the Black Land here?
Hua Mi was a bit puzzled.
Her gaze drifted towards a fountain in the distance.
Because the rescue center had temporarily requisitioned a park, and in that park, there was a large flat area with a musical fountain.
The fountain was, of course, turned off by now, it was uncertain whether it could spray water again.
“Miss Hua!”
Cao Feng, standing behind Hua Mi, called out loudly.
Hua Mi shuddered, her eyes fixed on the musical fountain in front, and as she turned around, she nearly kicked Cao Feng in the face.
[Received: Water Source X2]
A prompt suddenly popped up, saving Cao Feng’s face.
Hua Mi stood there in astonishment, slowly looking toward the flat area of the musical fountain.
The two square meters of Black Land had settled there on a musical fountain.
Although it wasn’t large enough to cover the entire fountain, looking around, there seemed to be no change to the ground where her Black Land had rooted; the pavement tiles still existed.
Meaning, planting anything on the hard surface would be impossible.
If she wanted to plant the myriad of fruit seeds she had bought, she might need to dig up the tiles covering the Black Land.
Would that damage the water pipes underneath?
Hua Mi felt torn, so much so that she lost her senses and only opened the level 4 factory control panel, frantically clicking to produce 350ML bottles of mineral water, X1000000.
Hua Mi, of the press, set to produce 1 million bottles of 350ML mineral water! Only then could she balance the loss of the 2 square meters of Black Land suitable for growing fruit.
Seeing Hua Mi motionless, Cao Feng came closer.
Following him, a lifeguard asked:
“Cao Feng, who is this?”
“The boss’s, uh, friend.”
Cao Feng fumbled as he introduced Hua Mi’s identity to his teammates; he didn’t quite know how to describe her.
Might as well explain it this way for now.
But his teammates got it immediately, understanding the implications,
“Oh, I’ve heard, I’ve heard.”
Everyone knew that the straightforward Gong Yi had told all the garrison and lifeguards at the rescue center today that he had a friend—a woman! Her name was Hua Mi, and if she was seen around the rescue center, everyone should help look out for her.
He didn’t say much else, just a few sentences like that.
Those who should get it, got it.
And even those who didn’t, were a little clued in.
When Cao Feng and his teammate approached Hua Mi, she had already come to her senses.
She looked at Cao Feng as if looking at a game screen, with the energy bar of a level 4 factory beside him seemingly diminishing.
Before Cao Feng could speak, Hua Mi asked,
“What a coincidence, to meet here. Don’t you need water anymore?”
Previously, Gong Yi had bought over a hundred thousand bottles of water from her in quite a rush, but these past few days, there hadn’t been any news about needing to buy water.
Cao Feng smiled and scratched the back of his head,
“Some water was sent over from outside to support us, and the water plants in Xiang City have been continuously producing water. We have enough now. I haven’t thanked Miss Hua yet for stalling on our behalf those few days.”
After saying this, he repeated it to his teammate. At the beginning of the earthquake, the rescue team’s logistics had not yet reacted, which led to a shortage of mineral water supply at the rescue center.
It was Hua Mi who managed to secure over a hundred thousand bottles of mineral water for them.
With that said, Cao Feng’s teammate looked at Hua Mi with much more genuine warmth and friendliness,
“So Miss Hua was the one who helped. Without Miss Hua, we might have died of thirst in the rubble.”
This statement was an exaggeration, but the mineral water crisis those days had been very real.
“Don’t mention it. If you ever need more mineral water, you can come to me. Although we have an adequate supply now, who knows when this damn earthquake will stop. There will be many places needing water.”
Hua Mi roughly knew that with the increasing frequency of earthquakes, the disaster in Xiang City had attracted widespread attention, hence the arrival of disaster relief supplies in the past few days.
However, this was not the end, but only the beginning.
Other cities had also begun to shake, and soon every city would start their collective dance. It would not only be water that was in short supply but many other things as well.
Cao Feng and his teammate both smiled and agreed, taking Hua Mi’s words as mere politeness.
In a few days, when the rescue center’s mineral water had been distributed to individuals, there surely wouldn’t be situations where people were selling mineral water at sky-high prices at the stalls.
For now, even if people had water in hand, they were reluctant to part with it.

The price of mineral water remained high, the result of free market regulation.
They exchanged a few pleasantries when suddenly there was another familiar tremor underfoot. Cao Feng and his teammate received messages for an emergency call to gather dispersed rescue teams.
There had been another earthquake both inside and outside Xiang City that required immediate rescue efforts.
Watching the two men sprint away in the distance, Hua Mi shook her head, glanced back once more at her 2-square-meter patch of Black Land left by the musical fountain, and rode off on her flatbed trolley to a secluded spot without people and unlikely to be monitored.
With just a thought, she and her flatbed trolley instantly returned to Lotus Shengxing Supermarket.
Back at her own territory, Hua Mi relaxed and felt incredibly tired—she had never been this tired before.
Even before she had awakened her superpower in her previous life, she had never been this exhausted.
Strangely, she hadn’t done anything particularly physically draining today—she had only gone out of the city to pick up a delivery, wandered around the stalls for a day, and beat up Fang Xin…
