Chapter 372: Material supplies to 371 Xiang City Base have been completely cut off.
The workers at the Xiang City Base toiled away at the construction site. Whenever someone was ailing or in pain, the Contractor and Huo Jing would always show concern and care.
If someone didn’t show up for work for a few days, the Contractor would even personally visit their home with gifts and ask, "Is everyone in your family okay? Have you encountered any difficulties? If there are any problems, just speak up; whatever I can do, I will surely help."
Although everyone understood that this was a form of corporate culture, they once thought the Contractor was being insincere.
Wasn’t his warm and concerned facade just a way to maximize the workers’ output and speed up the wall construction?
Previously, not many people liked the Contractor, but now that they reflected on it, the Contractor’s false concern seemed much better than Hu Yanxiang’s total neglect as an absentee manager.
At least when they had troubles and told the Contractor, he would genuinely do something for them.
In the filth and rubbish-laden E City, a worker reached out and stopped Hu Yanxiang, who was about to leave,
"Wait a second, clarify things before you go. You told us E City was a wonderful place, but now that you’ve brought us here, you want to ignore us?"
Hu Yanxiang, with an expression of impatience, looked disdainfully at the worker blocking him,
"What now? I brought you to E City; do I also have to make you like it? Am I your parent? Do I have to care for you through sickness and in health?"
"Your legs are on your own body. Could I possibly herd you with a stick? You came if you wanted, and did I utter half a word when you wanted to leave?"
"Along the way here, how many people have disappeared without a trace? Didn’t they all go back to Xiang City? Why don’t you leave?"
Having said this, Hu Yanxiang turned around and skirted past the man in front, scurrying towards Qu Shiheng’s tent.
He believed that to live well in Xiang City, it was essential to ingratiate himself with leadership and supervisors.
So, he left the construction of the walls and the infrastructure to the survivors from Xiang City.
As for himself, all he needed to do was to currying favor with Qu Shiheng.
Now that Hu Yanxiang explicitly refused to manage, the survivors standing in the open space, no matter how angry or hateful, could only look at the pitiful carton of instant noodles.
No one knew who was the first to act. Someone snatched two packets of instant noodles directly from the carton and ran off into the distance.
The rest were stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and swarmed over.
In no time at all, the carton of instant noodles was plundered clean.
Yet, there were still many survivors who hadn’t managed to grab any noodles at all.
They looked on with hungry, envious eyes at those who had seized the noodles first.
A few sniggers sounded from the side. Everyone looked over to see Qu Yimin and several women watching the noodle scramble as if it were monkey entertainment.
Seeing their desperate and undignified scramble for noodles made Qu Yimin and her companions laugh,
"Look at them, don’t they look just like dogs fighting for food? It’s so hilarious, hahaha."
Such a thing had never happened in E City, for those who survived there did so by having the right connections.
Those who couldn’t survive either died or went to the Xiang City Base.
Faced with such humiliating mockery, the faces of the workers in the open space flushed with shame.
Nobody had ever imagined that one day, they too would be scrambling for a pack of instant noodles.
This was a problem they had never anticipated before.
Arriving in E City, not only were they short of supplies, but they also suffered the indignity.
It was a humiliation of their dignity.
In Xiang City, they would never have had to worry about this, for supplies were so abundant that nobody even wanted instant noodles.
But, just as Hu Yanxiang said, they had already come; could they now return to Xiang City?
Xiang City was probably already overwhelmed by zombies, right?
Soon, a foreman came over to arrange work for everyone, providing them with very rudimentary tools.
A worker frowned upon seeing these tools and asked,
"Aren’t there any protective gloves?"
The Contractor from Xiang City would always provide them with protective gloves.
If there were no protective gloves, their hands would soon be worn raw from swinging these iron rings.
Having raw hands was one thing, but whether they could work in the following days was a major concern.
The foreman from the Qu Family gave these workers an eye roll,
