Chen Hu was sitting in his luxurious tent, looking at his terminally ill old mother.
After several months of escaping, Chen Hu lost a lot of weight from his original fat head and big ears. He frowned and looked at Qu Shiheng, who was missing an ear on his face.
"When will the Xiangcheng base be destroyed? How long do we have to wait?"
He could wait, but his old mother, who was already on her deathbed, couldn't wait.
Chen Hu asked again:
"Is there any other way to get the [Energy Water Drops] from the Xiangcheng Base? Can you get some?"
Qu Shiheng shook his head,
"The last time we went to the Xiangcheng base, we wanted to discuss material cooperation, but..."
He didn't finish what he said, because when he thought about it, Qiqu Shiheng, who could delete the unnecessary ones, became very angry and panicked.
Talking about purchasing supplies for the Xiangcheng base at low prices didn't even begin. They were killed by Hua Mi right in the middle of Xiangcheng.
Moreover, Qu Shiheng also had one of his ears chopped off by that bitch.
In this case, it's too late to escape, so how can we discuss cooperation with the Xiangcheng base?
Chen Hu's face became even more ugly.
He raised his hand and rubbed his face, frowning and asked,
"Is it true that you can't find even a little bit of [Energy Droplet]? Are there any of those men who came from Xiangcheng?"
His mother's illness has been going on for a long time and she will be ill before the end of the world.
The doctor also reminded him tactfully that he needed to prepare for his mother's funeral.
The reason why he was able to drag his mother and flee to multiple places in this environment was entirely because [Energy Water Drops] were keeping his mother alive.
But now the Xiangcheng base is besieged by zombies, and the [Energy Water Drops] are gone.
What’s even more annoying is what kind of shopping card is issued by the Xiangcheng base? If you don't use a shopping card, you can't use money to buy things.
The value system was quietly transformed by Hua Mi.
It’s unclear when Xiangcheng will be destroyed for a while, so how will other cities survive?
Qu Shiheng glanced at the old lady lying on the bed, breathing in but not out.
It wasn't that he felt sorry for the old lady, but he didn't want to ruin the cooperative relationship between him and Chen Hu.
"The Xiangcheng base will be destroyed sooner or later. If we can't wait, we can think of other ways."
Searching for some [Energy Water Drops] from the men from Xiangcheng is just one of the ways.
Or, before the zombies have completely surrounded the Xiangcheng base, they can quickly enter the Xiangcheng base and buy some [Energy Water Drops].
Chen Hu thought seriously, and Qu Shiheng was very sure of the feasibility of this statement.
Finally, he gritted his teeth, with deep hatred in his eyes,
"Then let's just stop doing it and accelerate the destruction of Xiangcheng."
Qu Shiheng was right. After the Xiangcheng base is destroyed, the supplies will be theirs.
Chen Hu thinks this possibility is very tempting.
Currently, they don't know where the [Energy Water Drops] come from, but this kind of thing can only be purchased at the Xiangcheng Base.
I think it should be something produced by a laboratory in the Xiangcheng base.
Chen Hu said to Qu Shiheng,
"Send someone to fly directly into Xiangcheng to buy [Energy Water Drops]. This is possible, but the speed is too slow and the time it takes to come out is also too slow."
Moreover, in this way, they still find ways to spend money to buy [Energy Water Drops] from others.
What's better than having [Energy Water Drops] in your own hands?
As long as [Energy Water Drops] can be in their hands, what do Chen Hu and Qu Shiheng want?
When the time comes, Chen Hu can extend his mother's life as long as he wants, and he can even achieve the goal of longevity himself.
Qu Shiheng thought for a while and asked,
"Boss, what are you going to do?"
Boss is Chen Hu’s nickname. He may not really be Qu Shiheng’s boss, but everyone calls him that.
Chen Hu said fiercely,
"The reason why I became like this, like a bereaved dog, was entirely due to Gong Yi from Xiangcheng."
"And that woman from Gong Yi killed my brother. I will always remember this grudge."
"First send people to search the men coming from Xiangcheng to see if they have [Energy Water Drops] on them."
"I will send another group of people to Xiangcheng to lure some zombies. With this two-pronged approach, the Xiangcheng base will be destroyed faster."
After a pause, Chen Hu said again:
"After the Xiangcheng base is destroyed, we will find a way to enter the Xiangcheng base and get the formula of [Energy Water Drops]."
Until now, Chen Hu and Qu Shiheng both believed that the reason why [Energy Water Drops] could be produced was because of the energy formula.
Qu Shiheng nodded in agreement without hesitation, and the two of them split up.
Chen Hu almost sent out the last of his strength to go to several cities in the north, blowing up the zombies that were still frozen in the unmelted ice and guiding them to the Xiangcheng base.
Intention to accelerate the destruction of the Xiangcheng base.
Qu Shiheng called Hu Yanxiang over.
He wants Hu Yanxiang to summon all the Xiangcheng survivors who have come to E City.
As long as anyone can contribute all the [Energy Water Drops] in his hand, Qu Shiheng will give this person a large amount of supplies.
That's what he said, but will he do it in the end, and will he really provide supplies? No one knows.
Hu Yanxiang turned around and told the more than 1,000 workers working on the construction site what Qu Shiheng had said.
After a few days, many more workers came to E City one after another.
After listening to Hu Yanxiang's words, they all looked at each other.
There was a man named Liao Wang, with a sarcastic expression on his face.
"If we really had something like [Energy Water Drops], wouldn't we know how to eat them? People in E City are about to starve to death."
"This kind of thing no longer exists."
Everyone knows the current value of [Energy Water Drops], as the Xiangcheng base was besieged by zombies.
The number of [Energy Water Droplets] will also become less and less.
It is said that rare things are more valuable, but this thing outside of Xiangcheng is worth a thousand gold.
It's impossible not to be able to buy it with money.
After all, [Energy Water Drops] can save lives at critical moments.
Hu Yanxiang looked at the speaker. This was the first group of survivors who followed him to E City. Their name was Liao Wang.
In fact, Hu Yanxiang also feels that there is not much hope for Qu Shiheng to ask these workers for [energy water drops] now.
After all, the materials Qu Shiheng gave were really very few.
The work on the construction site is so intense that each person is given only one fist-sized bun every day.
Even if the steamed buns are distributed late that day, the Qu family will deduct the rations the next day and let the workers work hungry.
If the workers had supplies or [Energy Water Drops] on them, they would have eaten what they should eat and drank what they should drink, otherwise people might really die.
If there are any leftovers for these workers, they should be kept for the last time to save their lives.
However, Qu Shiheng finally gave Hu Yanxiang such an important task, and Hu Yanxiang did not want to mess up the matter.
His face turned pale and he pointed at Liao Wang, who was sarcastically facing him.
"Tie this man up and beat him until he spits out the [Energy Drops] in his hand."
Two bodyguards from the Qu family immediately stepped forward and caught Liao Wang.
Liao Wang's face suddenly became very ugly. He looked at Hu Yanxiang,
"What do you mean? I consider you a friend, why do you do this to me?"
Hu Yanxiang said,
"Don't think I don't know. You escaped from the Xiangcheng base with me. On the way, you said you had a lot of [energy drops], and I saw them all."
Because he regarded Hu Yanxiang as a brother, Liao Wang did not hide the amount of materials in his hands from Hu Yanxiang.
When he came out of the Xiangcheng base, Liao Wang not only brought a lot of supplies, but also put a dozen bottles of [Energy Water Drops] in his backpack.
Hu Yanxiang probably knew that Liao Wang would use some [Energy Water Drops]. But it is absolutely impossible to use it up completely.
How many days have passed since then? Even if you drink [Energy Water Drops] as water, it won't be used up so quickly.
Liao Wang's face turned livid with anger.
He struggled in the hands of the Qu family's bodyguards,
"I don't have them, how could I have those? Mine have been eaten long ago, how could I have them?"
"Hu Yanxiang, I regard you as a brother. I think of you in everything."
"You said you were leaving the Xiangcheng base, and I abandoned my wife and son to follow you here. Is this what you did to me?"
"Hu Yanxiang, you are simply a beast."
He followed Hu Yanxiang all the way back to Xiangcheng from D City.
He always thought that after sharing life and death in D city, the two of them had now become brothers who could give their backs to each other.
However, Hu Yanxiang did not listen to Liao Wang's explanation.
Of course, the two bodyguards of the Qu family would not ignore Liao Wang either.
In front of everyone, they began to punch and kick Liao Wang.
Liao Wang resisted hard, but if he blocked his head, he could not block his stomach. If he blocked his stomach, he could not block his head.
He became angry and shouted at Hu Yanxiang:
"I told you I don't have it. Even if you beat me to death, I still don't have such a thing."
"Don't you want [Energy Water Drops]? Fly to the Xiangcheng base and buy them yourself."
Hu Yanxiang sneered and did not answer Liao Wang's words. He only ordered the two bodyguards to:
"Keep fighting!"
A large number of workers on the construction site watched silently as Liao Wang was beaten to a bloody pulp by two bodyguards from the Qu family.
Their eyes shone with fear. They never expected that after coming to E City after all the hard work, they would not only be short of supplies and have a harsh living environment, but now they would also face life-threatening danger.
Liao Wang, who was in the open space, had been beaten until he was vomiting blood.
His eyes popped out and he fell to the ground, looking at Hu Yanxiang. He really regarded Hu Yanxiang as his brother, but now Hu Yanxiang stabbed him in the back.
And Hu Yanxiang is still telling everyone,
"Have you all seen what happened to Liao Wang? If you don't hand over the [Energy Drops] in your hands, you will become the second Liao Wang."
After finishing speaking, Hu Yanxiang's eyes searched the crowd, and he looked at the second acquaintance.
Needless to say, this second acquaintance also had a lot of [Energy Water Drops] in his hands, and Hu Yanxiang also knew about it.
How much supplies did his brothers eat when they followed him from Xiangcheng to City E?
No one knows better than Hu Yanxiang.
His current gaze was like an X-ray machine, making everyone invisible.
Especially Hu Yanxiang, who was still saying slowly:
"If you hand it over yourself, you can still save your life, but if I find out, it will be impossible for you to live again."
"Believe me, I'm not joking. Hand over the [Energy Drops] as soon as possible."
At first, because the brothers trusted him, they informed him of all the supplies they had.
Now he uses the trust of the brothers to attack the brothers.
In the crowd, all the men who knew Hu Yanxiang and were on good terms with him lowered their heads one by one.
There was a look of hatred in his eyes.
The second person who was targeted by Hu Yanxiang tremblingly handed over a bottle of [Energy Water Drops].
"I only have this last bottle, please let Liao Wang go."
Finally, Hu Yanxiang was in a good mood after completing the first task assigned by Qu Shiheng.
He took the [Energy Water Drop] and waved his hand quite generously, asking the two bodyguards of the Qu family to release Liao Wang, who was beaten to a bloody pulp.
The three of them walked away.
A group of workers on the construction site dared not speak out in anger.
Just wait until Hu Yanxiang takes those two losers and walks away.
It took a few workers to help Liao Wang up.
Liao Wang couldn't stand up straight. He leaned on his brother's shoulder and whispered:
"Hurry up and find a way to leave E City. This is not a place to stay for a long time."
After what they saw and heard in the past few days, they already had a certain understanding of City E and knew that City E was not the rumored Garden of Eden.
Not only is it not the Garden of Eden, but it is also a place where human life may be eaten.
So you have to leave here quickly, otherwise you won't even be able to save your life.
Everyone was silent and carried Liao Wang to a remote place. Someone quietly came forward and fed Liao Wang a mouthful of [Energy Water Drops] that he had secretly saved.
They talked quietly,
"We really have to leave and see what they have fed us these days. If our own supplies are used up, they will not let us live."
Perhaps from the beginning, the Qu family really wanted to build this base properly.
But what the Qu family did would only make things worse, not make this place better.
If you really want to make this place a good place, you won't treat the workers who build the city wall like this.
Liao Wang nodded, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Hu Yanxiang standing behind everyone with a smile.
"As expected, you secretly hid [Energy Water Drops]."
The treacherous Hu Yanxiang actually didn't go far. He knew that Liao Wang would be very popular among the survivors.
Along the way, Liao Wang often distributed his materials and [energy drops] to those in need.
Although the number he gave out was not large, Liao Wang also made a large number of friends among the survivors.
So when Hu Yanxiang wanted to operate on someone, the first person he thought of was Liao Wang.
Little Mie can't go to school because he has a fever and it will take three days before he can go to school.
