Chapter 472: 404 followed their parents to go to the public restroom_2
“Otherwise, didn’t Xiang City Base send you seeds before? You could plant some fruits and vegetables.”
“At the feet of Xiang City Base’s walls, what else do you have to worry about?”
“There won’t be any danger to your lives.”
In fact, the safest places were not only inside Xiang City Base but also right beneath its walls.
Every day, large numbers of Xiang City People, having accepted missions from the mission center, would leave through the gates, armed with supplies and weapons to kill Zombies.
No matter how many Zombie Tides there were, they couldn’t possibly reach the base of the walls.
Unless Xiang City Base was truly in danger of being completely overrun.
That would be the only reason for the Zombie Tide to get so close to Xiang City Base.
Since such a crisis didn’t exist, wasn’t it just as safe living under the walls?
Having said that, the people from Xiang City shouldered their bulging supply backpacks and went off to kill Zombies and carry out missions.
Leaving behind a large group of stranded survivors, who burst into a panicked frenzy, tears unshed.
Outside Xiang City Base, on the way to E City Base, Lin Zhigang finally received a call from Chen Hu.
He repeated Hua Mi’s exact words to Chen Hu, and although Lin Zhigang was initially nervous, believing Chen Hu couldn’t possibly be that foolish,
How could a boss with big plans believe such a clumsy lie?
To Lin Zhigang’s surprise, Chen Hu didn’t ask anything but just said,
“When approximately can you make it to E City Base?”
Lin Zhigang checked the date, “Four to five months.”
Chen Hu didn’t respond and hung up the phone.
Four to five months was enough time for Chen Hu to recruit more people.
At this time, Hua Mi was preparing to head back to her RV, waiting for Gong Yi to return in the evening with their child.
Chi Chuan quietly approached her, whispering,
“Sister Hua, there’s an issue.”
Hua Mi pursed her lips, turned her head to look at Chi Chuan, and signaled with her eyes for him to continue.
“My buddy who’s in charge of purchasing supplies on the outskirts told me that recently F City is selling a lot of ‘Energy Water Drops.'”
“But we clearly haven’t sold ‘Energy Water Drops’ externally anymore.”
Chi Chuan’s face wore a serious expression.
No one knew where F City’s ‘Energy Water Drops’ were coming from.
Yet, this item could not only replenish ordinary people’s stamina and prolong their lives,
but also serve as a replenishment of Superpower Energy for Superpower Users, making it a panacea-like item in the apocalypse.
Those survivors who had hoarded ‘Energy Water Drops’ would surely treasure them like valuables,
They absolutely wouldn’t sell them to F City for it to resell in bulk.
Hua Mi thought for a moment,
“Isn’t Chen Hu in F City?”
“So Chen Hu still managed to get a large quantity of ‘Energy Water Drops’ from our Xiang City?” Chi Chuan asked, surprised.
He grew increasingly nervous, even exhibiting a hint of killing intent,
“Sister Hua, are you suggesting that there’s a traitor within Xiang City?”
What kind of traitor could transport ‘Energy Water Drops’ out of Xiang City in such large quantities?
To even pass through a whole Zombie Tide and deliver such a massive amount of ‘Energy Water Drops’ to Chen Hu in F City.
The quantity was so large that it allowed Chen Hu to sell in bulk.
Hua Mi shook her head, “Let’s not jump to conclusions about a traitor yet.”
“But…” Chi Chuan hesitated,
“Sister Hua, do you know? My buddy told me that Chen Hu, using these ‘Energy Water Drops,’ is massively recruiting Superpower Users in the apocalypse.”
“Should we intervene? Otherwise, if this gets out of hand, it could become a major threat.”
Hua Mi thoughtfully said,
“It might not necessarily be ‘Energy Water Drops.’ In the apocalypse, there are many other things that can replenish the energy of Superpower Users.”
She knew that the Zombie Crystal Core could also replenish Superpower Users’ energy.
Besides Zombie Crystal Core, the mutated animals’ blood and flesh in the apocalypse could also help replenish ordinary people’s stamina and restore a bit of the Superpower Users’ Superpower Energy.
Chi Chuan pondered for a while before saying to Hua Mi,
“But Sister Hua, this won’t do.”
“If Chen Hu keeps using fake ‘Energy Water Drops’ to attract Superpower Users, his influence will keep growing, and eventually, it might surpass ours.”
Chi Chuan was indeed a bit worried now.
After all, the Xiang City Base had already stopped allowing outsiders to enter.
