Chen Hu knew. Some aspects of human nature cannot be analyzed in detail.
If we were to analyze human nature carefully, he wouldn't spare the lives of his cousins.
If this had happened before, Chen Hu would have killed anyone who harbored even the slightest malice towards him.
But now, he has no one left to rely on, so he needs to keep these cousins around to do things for him.
So the idea that he'll make a comeback and provide his cousins with a life of luxury, giving them whatever they want, is simply unfounded.
When Chen Hu made a comeback, the first people he wanted to get rid of were his cousins who followed him.
After all, these cousins know far too much.
After comforting his younger cousins, Chen Hu went to his mother's bedside.
His mother was emaciated, which made Chen Hu very sad.
They didn't have any crystal cores, since they couldn't even get into the Xiangcheng base anymore, so who would want that thing?
But the one thing this world has no shortage of is zombies.
Chen Hu looked at his mother lying unconscious in the tent.
Chen Hu gritted his teeth and said to his cousins,
"Let's go, let's go dig for crystal cores."
The crystal cores are found inside the zombie corpses lying on the ground; they're easy to obtain, no different from scavenging for trash.
After they dug out the crystal cores from the zombie corpses, they didn't wash them thoroughly with water.
They placed the blood-stained crystal core into Chen Hu's mother's hand.
Then, following Lin Xia's instructions, they clenched Chen Hu's mother's hand into a fist and waited for the energy from the crystal core to slowly enter Chen Hu's mother's palm.
Chen Hu's mother's aged face gradually regained a glimmer of life.
The people nearby couldn't help but smile with delight.
His cousin, standing nearby, said indignantly to Chen Hu,
"I really didn't expect that the raw materials for [Energy Drops] would be so cheap."
"It seems that this Hua Mi has the potential to be a shrewd businessman, quite similar to our ruthless approach to business."
The other cousins nodded in agreement.
Chen Hu snorted coldly.
"I wonder how many people know about this news."
“Lin Xia isn’t one to keep his mouth shut. If he hasn’t told many people about this, we could use these zombie crystal cores to do some business.”
There aren't exactly superhumans out there, but if you were to look for them, you could find a few.
These people with superpowers face an even more precarious situation than ordinary survivors.
Ordinary survivors only need to eat and drink their fill to survive.
However, this doesn't apply to people with superpowers. They need to consume "energy droplets" to restore their superpower energy.
But now in this apocalypse, the number of [Energy Droplets] is decreasing, decreasing more and more.
In the apocalypse, a bottle of [Energy Drop] can be exchanged for a lot of resources.
Chen Hu keenly sensed a business opportunity in this.
He immediately called Lin Xia, the commander-in-chief of F City, and told him his idea.
His intention was for Lin Xia to never again reveal to outsiders that the raw material for the [Energy Drop] was the crystal core.
They can use these crystal cores to recruit a large number of superhumans.
Lin Xia didn't give Chen Hu a definite answer. For half an hour, Lin Xia kept dodging the question with Chen Hu.
After hanging up Lin Xia's call, Chen Hu's chubby face twitched as he said:
"That old fox Lin Xia didn't promise me anything."
"However, I still learned something from him: Lin Xia didn't tell anyone that the zombie crystal core was the raw material for the [Energy Drop].
As for those medical research experts who discovered that the energy in the zombie crystal core was extremely similar to the energy in the [Energy Drop], they wouldn't spread rumors about it.
After all, they are all experts who have been raised in F City.
The experts were so focused on their research that they couldn't even get in touch with an ordinary survivor on a regular basis.
Chen Hu and his cousins exchanged glances, and familiar, sinister smiles appeared on their faces.
They understand that sometimes, to achieve a goal, one must resort to any means necessary.
They are willing to do a lot if given the chance to make a comeback.
A few days later, in the evening, Lin Xia made another phone call to Lin Zhigang in Xiangcheng.
He comforted Lin Zhigang with his words.
"Forget it, forget it. You don't need to worry about the shortage of supplies in F City anymore."
"Your most important task right now is to stay put at the Xiangcheng base and not do anything unnecessary."
“If you anger that tigress and make her unhappy, she might really throw you out of the Xiangcheng base.”
After hearing Lin Xia's words, Lin Zhigang must have had some mixed feelings.
He felt increasingly guilty, but he couldn't help but try to persuade his father.
“Dad, what I told you before was true. You should really think about it.”
"The best way out for F City now is to let Hua Mi see that our F City is really moving closer to the Xiang City base."
"I think if necessary, we should also directly submit to the Xiangcheng base."
"I think it wouldn't be a bad idea for us to become a supplementary station outside the Xiangcheng base."
Lin Xia sounded very impatient on the other end of the phone.
"Let's leave this matter at a stalemate for now. I just thought of a solution."
