Chapter 442: 394 He is not a bad person_2
So Chen Hu had to follow Hua Mi to ensure his cousins wouldn’t worry about future supplies.
But now, Chen Hu had revealed these stockpile locations to Lin Xia, just to get a few [Energy Water Drops] from him.
Chen Hu’s cousins felt extremely indignant about this.
Murder lurked in Chen Hu’s eyes, but he didn’t show it on the surface.
Instead, he put on a very gentle expression and said to his cousins,
“Don’t worry, I still have many stockpile locations in my hands.”
“Compared to the few I told Lin Xia about, they’re just a drop in the bucket.”
“Besides, the supplies in those few stockpiles have already been emptied by the Qu Family.”
“Let’s just let Lin Xia go fetch the supplies; he’ll either come up empty-handed or he can only pick up what the Qu Family left behind.”
“Have I ever let you down when you work with me? Rest assured.”
Chen Hu knew some human natures couldn’t be analyzed too closely.
If he really delved into human nature, he wouldn’t spare the lives of these cousins around him.
If it had been before, anyone who had even a hint of scheming against him would have been dealt with by Chen Hu.
But now, he had no one else at his disposal, and he needed to keep these cousins to work for him.
So whatever he said about making a comeback and letting these cousins live the high life, giving them whatever they wanted… it simply was not going to happen.
When Chen Hu made a comeback, the first thing he would do was get rid of these cousins following him,
After all, they knew far too much.
After pacifying his cousins, Chen Hu went to his mother’s bedside.
His mother looked withered, and it pained Chen Hu to see her.
They didn’t have any Crystal Cores; after all, they could no longer enter Xiang City Base—who would want that stuff now?
But in this world, the last thing they lacked was Zombies.
So, Chen Hu stared at his unconscious mother lying in the tent.
Chen Hu clenched his teeth and said to his cousins,
“Come on, let’s go dig out some Crystal Cores.”
The Crystal Cores were easily obtainable from the bodies of Zombies lying on the ground, no different from picking up trash.
After they dug the Crystal Cores out of the zombie bodies, they didn’t bother to wash them thoroughly with water.
They just placed the blood-stained Crystal Cores in the hands of Chen Hu’s mother.
Then, following the method Lin Xia had described, they made Chen Hu’s mother’s hand curl into a fist, waiting for the energy from the Crystal Core to slowly enter her palm.
Chen Hu’s mother’s aged face gradually began to show a trace of vitality.
People around couldn’t help but show delighted smiles.
One of his cousins said to Chen Hu indignantly,
“I really didn’t expect the raw material for [Energy Water Drops] to be so cheap.”
“It seems this person named Hua Mi has the potential to be a cunning merchant, quite similar to our old ruthlessness in doing business.”
The other cousins nodded in agreement.
Chen Hu snorted coldly,
“I wonder how many people know this information.”
“Lin Xia isn’t exactly tight-lipped. If he hasn’t told many people about it, we could potentially use these Zombie Crystal Cores to do some business.”
The Superpower Users outside were not everywhere, but if you looked for them, you could still find a few.
For these Superpower Users, their situation was even more awkward than ordinary survivors’.
Regular survivors just needed to eat and drink enough to survive.
But Superpower Users needed to consume [Energy Water Drops] to recover their Superpower Energy.
But now, in the apocalypse, the supply of [Energy Water Drops] was becoming less and less.
A bottle of [Energy Water Drops], in this apocalypse, could be traded for lots of supplies.
Chen Hu quickly sensed a business opportunity.
He immediately called Lin Xia, the Commander of F City, and described his idea.
He suggested that Lin Xia should never again mention that the raw material for [Energy Water Drops] was Crystal Cores.
They could use these Crystal Cores to attract a large group of Superpower Users.
Lin Xia, however, didn’t give Chen Hu a very definite answer. The half-hour call was mostly Lin Xia evading the issue.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Hu’s face twitched as he said:
