Chapter 421: 387 people can all grow tails now!_2

Chen Hu’s flesh on his face twitched, as he seemed to be holding in his anger inwardly. How dared such a wet-behind-the-ears kid like Qu Shiheng shout and yell in front of him?

Back in the day when Chen Hu started mixing up, Qu Shiheng wasn’t even formed in the womb!

A few seconds later, Chen Hu managed to suppress his anger.

A cold smile appeared on his face as he said to Qu Shiheng,

“It’s only because our opponents are too strong, not because we are too incompetent.”

“But we haven’t lost yet. Isn’t there still Miss Qu outside Xiang City Base?”

“As long as Miss Qu can be a bit more supportive, City E’s plan to win over Gong Yi could still be smoothly executed.”

“Think about it. Actually, Miss Qu still has the resources. After all, men will be men.”

“And that bitch Hua Mi is still in her confinement…”

Following Chen Hu’s line of thought, Qu Shiheng thought it over and indeed found the reasoning sound.

However, at that moment, Hu Yanxiang hurriedly entered the tent.

He said to Qu Shiheng and Chen Hu:

“Things are bad. The people we sent to Xiang City Base have all been detained there.”

Before Qu Shiheng and Chen Hu could react, they heard Hu Yanxiang say,

“Those survivors working on building the walls have started escaping en masse; they are all heading to Xiang City Base.”

“This isn’t even the worst part. The worst thing is that outside City E Base, a massive number of survivor skeletons have suddenly appeared.”

The expressions of Qu Shiheng and Chen Hu immediately turned grim.

Chen Hu’s eyes turned to Hu Yanxiang and asked,

“What happened? Explain in detail.”

So, Hu Yanxiang explained everything that had happened at the construction site recently.

There had always been disappearances of survivors at City E Base.

But Hu Yanxiang thought this was very normal.

Because many survivors who came from Xiang City Base hoped to led better lives at City E Base.

Upon arriving at City E Base, however, they realized they couldn’t live the so-called good life there.

Instead, they couldn’t get enough food, decent clothes, or good sleep.

Even the women were reduced to not having enough food or clothing.

Those survivors could only wait each day for the measly, stale bun that the Qu Family would throw their way.

Hence, not a few wanted to return to Xiang City Base.

At first, Hu Yanxiang, along with the Qu Family’s bodyguards, had tried to stop those survivors wanting to leave.

However, as disappearances increased, Hu Yanxiang knew he simply couldn’t stop it.

Until two days ago, after Qu Yimin left City E Base, Hu Yanxiang received a report saying a large number of skeletons had appeared outside the newly constructed walls of City E Base.

When he went to check, he found those white, bone skeletons just outside City E Base.

It was a dip in the land that ordinary survivors rarely visited.

And that dip was filled with those eerie white skeletons.

Some of the skeletons still had shreds of flesh hanging on them.

Since Chen Hu and Qu Shiheng had been busy attacking Xiang City Base in the past few days, Hu Yanxiang had not reported this matter.

He also didn’t dare report it, fearing that Chen Hu and Qu Shiheng would blame it on his incompetence.

The number of skeletons in the dip kept increasing, changing from missing survivors to missing overseers from the Qu Family. Gradually, without overseers supervising, all the remaining survivors knew nobody was in charge anymore.

If they didn’t leave City E now, they would likely end up as skeletons in the dip.

A large number of survivors found ways to leave City E Base.

Hu Yanxiang couldn’t stop them.

Qu Shiheng and Chen Hu exchanged glances. Qu Shiheng, pointing his finger at Hu Yanxiang,

“Good job. You’ve really done something great here,” his voice seemed squeezed through clenched teeth.

He stood up, kicked Hu Yanxiang, and shouted:

“Take me to see it right now!”

Hu Yanxiang hurriedly scrambled up from the ground and led Qu Shiheng and Chen Hu towards the dip.

Upon exiting, the sights along the way shocked Qu Shiheng and Chen Hu.

The once bustling City E had fallen into severe decline within just a few short days.

They had to walk a long stretch of road before they could see a hunched live person standing on a road filled with excrement.

And this situation only worsened as they arrived at the construction site.

With furrowed brows, Qu Shiheng asked Hu Yanxiang,
