Chapter 371: 370 Hu Yanxiang this leader
Qu Yimin, this proud little princess, looked at Hu Yanxiang as if she were looking at a fool.
Although the Qu family had a lot of supplies, Qu Yimin felt there was no need to be so generous to workers like Hu Yanxiang.
These were workers who had left Xiang City because they could no longer stay, not that E-city had begged them to come.
Those who come seeking refuge are not valued.
So, since that was the case, these people should work hard for E-city to demonstrate their worth for coming there.
Otherwise, E-city wouldn’t shelter people who just freeload, right?
Honestly, Qu Yimin felt even providing these workers with such a large basket of instant noodles was too much.
"I’ll say it again, these instant noodles are all the food for you workers, what do you mean it’s for you alone? Can you eat so much by yourself? It would burst your stomach!"
Hu Yanxiang finally snapped out of it, he stared at Qu Yimin for a long time, thinking he had misheard. This basket of noodles, it was for all the workers?
But they had left Xiang City, and the first group that arrived in E-city had more than 1000 people. For over a thousand people, there was only this one basket of instant noodles?
Seeing the expression on Qu Yimin’s face was serious, Hu Yanxiang hurriedly explained,
"No way, these supplies are nowhere near enough for us to eat, and the variety is too limited, just instant noodles. Aren’t there any milk or fruit?"
"You know, in Xiang City, everyone gets a big basket of supplies like this at the end of each day’s work."
"As long as we work well, we even get paid every month."
Hu Yanxiang tried to emphasize his worth; men like them, strong and capable, not only rebuilt city walls but were also essential for fighting zombies when needed.
That’s what they had been doing in Xiang City.
Because there was never a concern about supplies, whenever they had excess supplies at home and nowhere to store them, they would go out and kill zombies for a while.
Qu Yimin interrupted Hu Yanxiang very impatiently,
"Xiang City is Xiang City, E-city is E-city. If Xiang City is so great, why leave it?"
"Also, our E-city is much safer than Xiang City. I heard that the zombies from the southern part of Xiang City have crowded all the way to the east."
"Think about it yourselves, the Zombie Tide breaking through Xiang City’s defenses is imminent, you’ve just managed to save your lives, proving you are wise."
"Besides, you are very lucky that E-city welcomed you, providing you with a haven and a job. Other cities wouldn’t bother with as many people as you."
"So don’t be picky, eat up and get to work as soon as you finish."
Qu Yimin dropped these last words and left straight away.
She did not consider at all what reaction Hu Yanxiang might have after hearing this.
Hu Yanxiang was so angry his face turned pale.
He turned around, carrying the basket of instant noodles, and walked back to his companions.
Some men, too exhausted to go on, looked for a place to sit down, only to find the ground covered in feces and urine.
He could only lean against a dirty column nearby, his face mocking as he said to Hu Yanxiang,
"We asked you to get some supplies to fill our bellies, how come you brought back only enough for one person?"
Some men were also very unhappy with Hu Yanxiang’s efficiency and asked anxiously,
"We’ve been traveling for so long, when will they arrange tents for us so we can rest properly?"
"There’s not even a place to sit, we are exhausted."
Hu Yanxiang put the basket of instant noodles down on the ground, his face upset,
"This is your food, over 1000 people, finish these, then go straight to work on the city walls."
"I’ve brought back the blueprints, there’s no place to rest. Everyone, clear a space by the wire mesh, and just find a spot to lie down tonight..."
He had barely finished speaking when some started to protest,
"Why? With only this little bit of food, and all of it is instant noodles, how can we eat it? There’s not even water, isn’t this deliberately torturing us?"
"You said Xiang City couldn’t compare to E-city, that E-city was a paradise. How come now that we’ve arrived in E-city, it’s like this? It’s unbelievable and way off the mark."
Hu Yanxiang’s expression darkened as he shouted at the crowd,
"You’re already here, what do you want to do? Go back right now to Xiang City Base to feed the zombies?"
"They’ve said it, the zombies in Xiang City are so numerous they’ve spread to the east, and you all know the situation there—it’s barely secured by a few electric fences."
"Xiang City Base will sooner or later be breached by the Zombie Tide, going back there is just courting death."
The crowd fell silent.
"But, but..."
Someone weakly, their face pale, looked at the basket of instant noodles,
"But this is too little, such a small amount of food, how can so many of us share it?"
Hu Yanxiang waved his hand, deciding to wash his hands of it. He stated clearly he would not manage any longer, turning back to the crowd, he said,
"Divide it however you want, I’ve put the stuff down here."
Speaking of Hu Yanxiang, he wasn’t really a man with a sense of responsibility.
The main reason he had incited so many to come to E-city was to make a good impression in front of Qu Shiheng.
Of course, if he could gain the respect of everyone and become a team leader, he was happy to play that role.
But all that was based on everything going smoothly. Once any difficulties arose, he was the type to give up easily.
Just like back in D-city, even though Ni Shuiwen led the charge, Hu Yanxiang was also very aggressive in inciting others.
It could be said that Hu Yanxiang played a significant role in blowing open the ice in D-city; almost half of the survivors were incited by him.
But his character determined that he did not have leadership skills.
After arriving in E-city, everything he saw was dampening his ambitions.
So he switched to a lesser goal, which would suffice.
Now that his purpose of getting on Qu Shiheng’s good side had been achieved, why should he care about the happiness or sadness of these survivors?
Seeing Hu Yanxiang walking away, the survivors were very uncomfortable.
The atmosphere grew awkward, and everyone spontaneously remembered Xiang City.
Xiang City Base didn’t operate like this; the Contractor and Huo Jing in Xiang City Base were very responsible people.
Compared to President Bao and Huo Jing, Hu Yanxiang as a leader was far inferior.
