Chapter 60: 060 actually dared to hit Ah Fu
On the ruins, Hua Mi opened the photos Ah Fu had sent her: a vast expanse of medical supplies towering on the beds of trailer trucks, seemingly endless at a glance.
Each was tightly wrapped in white waterproof oilcloth.
But that’s beside the point—the crucial issue was that the area clogged with these hundreds of trucks was situated in a recessed ‘concave’ shape.
Surrounding them were ruins, making it impossible to drive the trucks out.
Ah Fu subsequently sent a video to Hua Mi. In it, a group of survivors, origin unknown, were looting the medical supplies.
They sliced open the oilcloth of a trailer and pulled out boxes of tightly packaged medications, then began sorting through them right there on the rain-soaked ground, opening up the foam medicine cases.

They carelessly discarded the unwanted medicine on the ground, scattering unnamed pills everywhere.
Watching this deeply pained Hua Mi.
The drivers of these trailers had vanished, whereabouts unknown.
They probably felt there was little hope escaping this concave trap and so went off to attend to their own matters, much like Ah Fu had initially done.
Wearing a raincoat, Hua Mi trudged through the ruins, taking out her phone to prepare a call to Huo Jing.
From Ah Fu’s photos, Hua Mi surmised her level 7 storage would never be able to accommodate so many medical supplies.
The storage was nearly full, already packed with the vegetables and her express deliveries.
If she were to take on all these medical supplies, a storage upgrade would be inevitable, but the supporting infrastructure presented a limitation.
She feared that due to infrastructure constraints, she might end up unable to take in all these supplies.
That would be truly damn frustrating.
Thus, Hua Mi intended to ask Huo Jing to construct another protection infrastructure for her.
As soon as she took out her phone, coincidentally,
[Initiating safety scan…]
[Completion of defense engineering]
[Defense engineering rating: Completed Sheep Intestine Path]
[Awarded 4 square meters of Black Land, please select a site for the Black Land.]
Huo Jing had completed the road already? That quickly?
Hmm… A road counts as defense engineering?
Could this road serve as a defense, allowing her to speedily drive back to the supermarket on this “Sheep Intestine Path” in case of a zombie siege?
Well, thinking it over, Hua Mi could consider this path part of her defense infrastructure.
She was truly a genius in logic, so adept at rationalizing; how great!
Having just internally clapped, liked, and subscribed for herself thrice over, she received a call from Huo Jing.
“Miss Hua, I’ve got something to discuss with you. We’ve finished the road for you… but there’s been a complication: I have too many people here.”
Huo Jing, as everyone knows, is a good man.
But he has too many relatives at home; for just a small road, he casually called for help and ended up with a large crowd.
Not too many—around two to three hundred people.
Faced with the current situation, he was calling to explain to Hua Mi, though he had only intended to call his close relatives.
However, one of his relatives, a contractor before the earthquake, heard there was work to be done.
Rewarding the workers with the medical supplies Hua Mi would give each person each day was a fantastic opportunity.
Without even telling Huo Jing, the relative called over the entire labor crew he managed.
There’s truth to the saying “more hands make light work.” It takes a completely different effort for a few people to finish a road in dozens of days than for hundreds to do it in just a few.
Huo Jing didn’t think much of it, just get it done, right, more hands make light work.
And so, the Sheep Intestine Path was completed at breakneck speed.
Turned out, Huo Jing played this one a bit too big. After the road was finished, these laborers weren’t too keen on leaving.
Demand exceeded supply, and just a couple of days’ worth of medical supplies didn’t seem enough to them.
They wanted to keep working for Hua Mi, to continue earning medical supplies.
Halfway through the call, amidst the dense rain, before Hua Mi could respond, the Contractor’s relative snatched the phone away from Huo Jing.
The relative, wearing a dirty safety helmet, nodded and bowed over the phone to Miss Hua,
“Miss Hua, please help us out. We may be many, but we work fast. These laborers are desperate and just want to stockpile some medical supplies for their families. If you have any work for us, we can do it. How about we build you a Forbidden City?”
The scarcity of medical supplies was inducing panic among the people, a feeling too complicated to be summed up in a sentence or two.
Although in reality, nobody was seriously injured, nor did they need sterile gauze and such.
But when everyone became aware of the shortages, they naturally wanted to stock up for their own households.
Better safe than sorry, right?
Hua Mi expressed understanding.
What she didn’t understand was what she would do with a Forbidden City?
After pondering for a moment, she told Huo Jing’s relative,
“The Forbidden City won’t do, build me a fortress instead, a big one, designed like a residential community, with high walls capable of withstanding cannon fire.”
“If you’re going to work for me, then do it properly, you won’t be shortchanged.”
“Once the work is done, you can go to the Garrison’s supply depot inside Xiang City to settle the accounts. The Garrison will have your payments calculated; I won’t be back for a few days.”
She carefully instructed, and before leaving, she had arranged for tens of thousands of medical supplies for the Garrison’s depot.
That would be enough for a few days at least.
In fact, this construction crew could be making trouble; a group of several hundred people running out to the outskirts of Xiang City to take down the medical supply stockpile wouldn’t that be good?
But people should do what they’re specialized in.
Since the construction crew was clinging to her, she wouldn’t complain.
So, if a fortress was to be built, Hua Mi’s standards were naturally high.
Fortress walls that could withstand cannon fire were not at all an exaggeration.
After all, in the later stages of the apocalypse, with mutated flora and fauna, any bizarre creature that emerged could wield forces comparable to cannon blasts.
“Alright, you’re a good person.”
Huo Jin’s Contractor relative happily agreed.
After hanging up, he turned back and yelled to the group of workers behind him:
“It’s settled! We’ve got work! Miss Hua wants a fortress built; we’re going to build her a solid one, designed to withstand cannon fire, let’s give it our all…”
This was a massive project, one that could take a very long time.
If they did well, with Hua Mi’s background, she might even find them more work in the future.
The construction team erupted with cheers, everyone holding their professional tools, working hard to clear the rubble near Lotus Shengxing Supermarket in the rain.
At this moment, having finished the call, Hua Mi looked up and had arrived at the medical supply stockpile.
She happened to see a group of survivors who were stealing medical supplies, fighting over Ah Fu.
Well, they dared to attack Ah Fu!
Her fighting spirit was ignited, her fair hand snatched through the drizzle, pulling a steel rod from her Level 7 storage.
