After a few days, many more workers arrived in City E.
After listening to Hu Yanxiang's words, they looked at each other in bewilderment.
There was a man named Liao Wang with a sarcastic expression on his face.
"If we really had something like [Energy Drops], wouldn't we eat them ourselves? People are starving to death in E City."
"That kind of thing doesn't exist anymore."
Many people know the current value of the [Energy Drop], especially as the Xiangcheng base is besieged by zombies.
The number of [energy droplets] will also decrease.
It is said that things are valued for their rarity, and this stuff is worth a fortune a bottle outside of Xiangcheng these days.
It's impossible that you can't buy it even with money.
After all, in critical moments, the [Energy Drop] can save lives.
Hu Yanxiang looked at the person who was speaking. This was one of the first survivors who came to E City with him, and his name was Liao Wang.
In fact, Hu Yanxiang also felt that Qu Shiheng's chances of getting "energy droplets" from these workers now were not very high.
After all, the supplies Qu Shiheng provided were really very little.
The work intensity on the construction site is high, and each person is only given a fist-sized steamed bun per day.
In fact, if the steamed buns were distributed late that day, the Qu family would withhold the rations the next day, forcing the workers to work on an empty stomach.
If the workers had supplies or energy droplets on them, they would have eaten and drunk them long ago; otherwise, they might have really died.
If there are any workers left over, they should be kept for their final survival.
However, Qu Shiheng had gone to great lengths to entrust Hu Yanxiang with such an important task, and Hu Yanxiang did not want to mess it up.
His face turned pale, and he pointed at Liao Wang, who was mocking him.
"Tie this person up and beat him until he spits out the [energy droplet] in his hand."
Two bodyguards from the Qu family immediately stepped forward and grabbed Liao Wang.
Liao Wang's face immediately turned extremely ugly. He looked at Hu Yanxiang.
"What do you mean by this? I considered you a friend, why are you treating me like this?"
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 droplets], and I saw them all."
Because Liao Wang considered Hu Yanxiang a brother, he did not hide from Hu Yanxiang how many supplies he had.
When Liao Wang left the Xiangcheng base, he not only brought a lot of supplies, but also a dozen bottles of [Energy Drops] in his backpack.
Hu Yanxiang roughly knew that Liao Wang would use some of the [Energy Drops]. But he definitely wouldn't use them all.
How many days has it been? Even if you drink the [Energy Drops] like water, they wouldn't run out so quickly.
Liao Wangqi's face turned ashen with anger.
He struggled in the hands of the Qu family's bodyguards.
"I don't have any. How could I possibly have any? Mine were all eaten long ago. How could I possibly have any?"
“Hu Yanxiang, I consider you a brother, and I always think of you in everything I do.”
"You said you were leaving the Xiangcheng base, so I abandoned my wife and children to come and make a living with you, and this is how you treat me?"
"Hu Yanxiang, you are a beast."
He followed Hu Yanxiang all the way from D City back to Xiangcheng.
He always thought that after going through life and death together in D City, the two of them had become brothers who could entrust their backs to each other.
However, Hu Yanxiang did not listen to Liao Wang's explanation.
The two bodyguards from the Qu family certainly wouldn't give up.
In front of everyone, they started punching and kicking Liao Wang.
Liao Wang struggled to resist, but he could block the head but not the stomach, and he could block the stomach but not the head.
Enraged, he roared at Hu Yanxiang:
"I've already said 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 Drops]? Fly to the Xiangcheng base and buy them yourselves."
Hu Yanxiang sneered, ignoring Liao Wang's question, and instead gave instructions to the two bodyguards.
"Keep fighting!"
A large group of workers on the construction site watched in silence as Liao Wang was beaten bloody and mangled by two bodyguards from the Qu family.
Fear flickered in their eyes. They never imagined that after going through so much trouble to reach City E, they would not only face a lack of supplies and a harsh living environment, but also face mortal danger.
Liao Wang, who was standing in the open space, had already been beaten until he was spitting blood.
His eyes bulged out as he fell to the ground, staring at Hu Yanxiang. He truly considered Hu Yanxiang a brother, but now Hu Yanxiang had betrayed him.
And Hu Yanxiang was still talking to everyone.
"Have you all seen what happened to Liao Wang? If you don't hand over the [Energy Drops] you have, you will become the second Liao Wang."
After speaking, Hu Yanxiang's eyes searched through the crowd, and he looked at the second acquaintance.
Needless to say, Hu Yanxiang also knew that this second acquaintance had quite a few [Energy Drops].
How much supplies did his brothers consume on their journey from Xiangcheng to Echeng?
No one knows this better than Hu Yanxiang.
His gaze now is like an X-ray machine, leaving no one able to hide.
Especially Hu Yanxiang, who was still slowly saying:
"If you hand it over yourselves, I might spare your lives. But if I find out, you won't have any chance of survival."
"Believe me, I'm not joking. Hand over the [Energy Drop] as soon as possible."
