What does it feel like to be betrayed by the person closest and most trusted? Reborn, Hua Mi believes that the top priority in the apocalypse is to have abundant supplies, stay away from crowds and...
Qu Yimin, this proud little princess, looked at Hu Yanxiang as if he were a fool.
Although the Qu family had a lot of supplies, Qu Yimin felt that there was no need to be so kind to workers like Hu Yanxiang.
These workers came to E City because they couldn't stay in Xiang City anymore; it wasn't like E City begged them to come.
Those who rush to buy things are usually worthless.
So if that's the case, then these people should work hard for City E and demonstrate their value in coming to City E.
Otherwise, City E wouldn't have taken in some freeloaders, right?
To be honest, Qu Yimin felt that giving these workers such a large basket of instant noodles was too much.
"I'll say it again, this instant noodles is the food ration for all of you workers. What do you mean you're all for one person? Can you eat all of this by yourself? You'll eat yourself to death!"
Hu Yanxiang finally came to his senses. He stared at Qu Yimin for a long time, thinking he had misheard. Was this whole basket of instant noodles for all of their workers?
But when they left Xiangcheng this time, the first batch of workers to arrive in Echeng numbered as many as 1,000. How come these 1,000 people only had this basket of instant noodles?
Seeing the expression on Qu Yimin's face, Hu Yanxiang knew she wasn't joking, so he quickly explained.
"No, this isn't enough for us, and the variety is too limited. There's only instant noodles; is there no milk, fruit, or anything else?"
"You know, in Xiangcheng, everyone gets such a big basket of supplies after work every day."
"As long as we work hard, we will still get paid every month."
Hu Yanxiang emphasized his worth as much as possible, saying that strong men like them could not only build city walls, but also go out to kill zombies when necessary.
That's how they used to do it in Xiangcheng.
Because they never lacked supplies, when they had so many supplies at home that they had nowhere to put them, they would go out and kill zombies for a while.
Qu Yimin interrupted Hu Yanxiang impatiently.
"Xiangcheng is Xiangcheng, and Echeng is Echeng. If Xiangcheng is so great, why did you leave Xiangcheng?"
"Moreover, our E City is much safer than Xiang City. I heard that the number of zombies in the south of Xiang City has so increased that they have spread to the east."
"Think about it yourselves. The zombie horde is about to break through Xiangcheng. You have now escaped with your lives. That is because you judged the situation and proved that you are all smart people."
"And you are very lucky to have E City take you in, giving you a home and a job. Other cities don't want to bother with you when they see so many of you."
"So stop being picky, eat well, and then get back to work."
Qu Yimin left after saying those last words.
She didn't consider at all how Hu Yanxiang would react after hearing these words.
Hu Yanxiang was so angry that his face turned pale.
He turned around, carrying the basket of instant noodles, and walked back to his companions.
A man was exhausted and wanted to find a place to sit down, but the ground was covered in feces and urine.
He could only lean against a dirty pillar and say to Hu Yanxiang with a mocking expression,
"We asked you to go and get some supplies to fill our stomachs, but you only brought back supplies for yourself?"
Some men were also very dissatisfied with Hu Yanxiang's efficiency and asked impatiently:
"We've traveled such a long way, when are you going to provide us with tents so we can get some proper rest?"
"There's not even a place to sit here, and we're all exhausted."
Hu Yanxiang put the basket of instant noodles he was holding on the ground, his face looking very unpleasant.
"This is your food. There are over 1,000 people. Divide all the food among yourselves, and then go straight to work on repairing the city wall."
"I've brought the blueprints back. There's nowhere to rest, so everyone, get together and clear a space next to the barbed wire fence. We can lie down anywhere tonight."
After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence, then someone started making a fuss.
"Why?! This is such a small amount of supplies, and it's all instant noodles. How are we supposed to eat? There's not even any water. Isn't this just deliberately making things difficult for us?"
"Didn't you say that Xiangcheng is inferior to Echeng, and that Echeng is a paradise on earth? How come Echeng is like this now that we've come here? It's unbelievable, it's completely out of line."
Hu Yanxiang's face was also very grim, and he roared at the crowd:
"Since you're already here, what more do you want? Why don't you go back to the Xiangcheng base and feed the zombies right now?"
"They said that there are so many zombies in Xiangcheng that they have spread to the east. You all know what the situation is like in the east; there are only a few electric fences guarding it."
"The Xiangcheng base will be overrun by the zombie horde sooner or later. Going back to the Xiangcheng base means certain death."
A moment of silence fell over everyone again.
"But, but..."
Someone stared weakly at the basket of instant noodles, looking pale and emaciated.
"But this is too little. How are we supposed to share such a small amount of food among so many people?"
Hu Yanxiang waved his hand, determined to abandon the matter; he clearly intended to wash his hands of it. He turned to the crowd and said,
"You can divide it however you like, I've left the things here for you."
Speaking of Hu Yanxiang, he is a person who has little sense of responsibility.
The main reason he instigated so many people to come to City E was to curry favor with Qu Shiheng.
Of course, if he could gain everyone's respect and become the leader of a team, he would be happy to take on that role.
However, all of this is based on the premise that everything goes smoothly. Once he encounters any difficulties, he is someone who is very likely to give up.
Just like back in D City, besides Ni Shuiwen leading the charge, Hu Yanxiang was also one of the most vocal and aggressive.
It can be said that Hu Yanxiang played a major role in instigating the blasting of the ice layer in D City. Almost half of the survivors were instigated by Hu Yanxiang.
However, his personality determined that he lacked leadership skills.
Everything he saw after arriving in City E dampened his ambitions.
So he can settle for second best and change his target; that will work just as well.
Now that he has achieved his goal of befriending Qu Shiheng, he needs to change his target. What do he care about the joys and sorrows of these survivors?
Seeing Hu Yanxiang turn and leave, the survivors were quite uneasy.
The atmosphere became awkward, and everyone spontaneously began to miss Xiangcheng.
Such practices do not exist at the Xiangcheng base. The contractors and Huo Jing at the Xiangcheng base are both very responsible people.
Hu Yanxiang, as a leader, is far inferior to Boss Bao and Huo Jing.
