Chapter 440: 393 is actually a great filial son_3
But thankfully, Chen Hu had found a small survivor gathering place.
The resources there were still quite sufficient.
While bringing his mother, they had gathered quite a lot of supplies along the way, so they had managed to keep on living well.
The first time Chen Hu contacted F City’s Commander Lin Xia, Lin Xia had no wish to deal with someone like Chen Hu.
At that time, Lin Xia even said to Chen Hu,
“You no longer have any value to be used, what do you think you can get from me?”
“And what can you do to help our F City?”
He had been watching the fierce battle between Xiang City and E City all this time.
So when Chen Hu called him and identified himself, Lin Xia’s first reaction was that Chen Hu had come to harm F City again.
But now, Lin Xia was pushed into a corner by Hua Mi.
If Xiang City Base remained closed, they couldn’t get wholesale supplies.
Without development, F City would suffer, and even Lin Xia’s own living conditions outside were getting extremely harsh.
This was a very practical problem; Lin Xia wanted to leave F City and enter Xiang City Base, but now all the routes were closed to him.
Therefore, finding himself in a situation with no other choice, Lin Xia once again sought out Chen Hu.
He thought that Chen Hu must have a way.
After all, if Chen Hu could escape from Gong Yi’s hands so many times, he certainly must have some real skills.
If Chen Hu could offer him a way out, even a lifeline, Lin Xia considered that cooperating with him would be worth it.
Chen Hu chuckled on the other end of the phone, and he said to Lin Xia:
“Think about it, why hasn’t E City been wiped out after becoming ? Why can they keep on living well?”
“There must be a reason.”
“And the biggest reason is that the Qu Family of E City controls a lot of supply hoarding spots.”
“I do not have any great skills, and it’s just my unlucky fortune that I also know of quite a few supply hoarding spots.”
“However, some of these supply hoarding spots are properties of the Qu Family.”
“If Commander Lin is willing to take the risk, I can share these locations with Commander Lin.”
On the other end of the phone, Lin Xia closed his eyes and asked calmly:
Chen Hu was not a simple man; whatever he gave, he must receive something in return.
If the payback was too much for Lin Xia to afford, then he would rather do without the supplies.
The survivor count in the small F City was high, even though the city itself was tiny.
But these were not things that couldn’t be abandoned.
If it came to a point when Lin Xia had to give his life, he wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice the lives of F City’s survivors.
He wasn’t that noble, didn’t possess such lofty sentiments to toil like an ox or horse for the sake of a city’s survivors.
Chen Hu chuckled on the phone,
“Commander Lin must be joking. Where would I have such big ambitions to ask Commander Lin to do something impossible?”
“My request is very simple. It is for Commander Lin to give me some Energy Water Drops to extend my mother’s life.”
“That’s not too much to ask for, is it?”
The only family Chen Hu had left were just these few people.
He didn’t wish to see his mother leave him, so he had always been using the Energy Water Drops to sustain her life.
But with his situation growing increasingly difficult, now he couldn’t get even a single Energy Water Drop.
This was also one of the reasons Chen Hu had to hurriedly contact Lin Xia.
He wanted to trade the supply hoarding spots he knew of for the Energy Water Drops from F City.
On the other end of the phone, Lin Xia couldn’t help but chuckle,
“I really didn’t expect it; our famous and grand Chen Hu, Boss Chen, turns out to be such a devoted son.”
“This really makes me, a modest person, respect Boss Chen somewhat more.”
He was around the same age as Chen Hu, only Chen Hu had no children of his own, whereas Lin Xia had a grown son staying in the base.
Being of the same age and having both experienced the apocalypse, their social statuses were not much different as well.
So Lin Xia could especially understand Chen Hu’s filial devotion.
He said straightforwardly to Chen Hu:
“I don’t have any Energy Water Drops at my disposal, I’m afraid I cannot provide you with that.”
Chen Hu laughed it off,
“You have such a big city that’s currently much safer than E City, and you’re telling me you don’t have even a single bottle of Energy Water Drop in your hands?”
“Whom are you trying to fool?”
“Besides, isn’t your son at the Xiang City Medical Center? He has plenty of Energy Water Drops.”
