Old Huang is a smart man. When Zhong Chuchu mentioned the task of helping with transportation, he immediately realized it was a test.

But he didn't plan to tell everyone.

Though informing everyone would be beneficial for them, it wouldn't bring any advantage to him personally.

More importantly, since the leaders of the Big Camphor Tree Base hadn't disclosed it, it was obvious they didn't want people to know it was a test.

If he told everyone, it would disrupt the leaders' plan, and if they found out he was the source, it would not be good for him.

The example of Yang Xiu and the box of pastries in ancient times taught him that one shouldn't flaunt their intelligence recklessly.

Besides, he was curious to see who would be foolish enough not to recognize such an obvious test.

If someone realized it and still proceeded, it would prove their greed.

Whether foolish or greedy, he had no desire to be teammates with such individuals; it might endanger him.

So, he only confided in Sunza, who wasn't stupid himself and instead disdainfully regarded Old Huang, claiming he had figured it out long ago.

Sunza had grown astute, Old Huang reflected.

Soon, Ju Tianrui led Old Huang and the others to help transport supplies.

The volume of supplies was overwhelming to Ju Tianrui, leaving him shocked, as he hadn't had the chance to count them.

Thankfully, Li Yu hadn't asked him earlier; otherwise, he wouldn't know what to say.

Moreover, Ju Tianrui acknowledged that the Motorcycle Gang must have gathered supplies from every nearby power; otherwise, such a quantity was unimaginable.

...

After Ju Tianrui and the others left, Li Yu grabbed a small stool and intended to continue watching the verbal fight between the woman and the group.

However, they all stopped in their tracks, witnessing Old Huang and others who had been detained with them in the workshop leaving. For the moment, they ceased their bickering.

The group, who had been incessantly insulting the woman, watched Old Huang and others carry food from the Motorcycle Gang's warehouse and load it onto vehicles left there by the Motorcycle Gang.

Suddenly, their eyes turned red.

They've been hungry for so long, and the food was right in front of them.

Old Huang and the others were using their shoulders to heft the food while they could only stand by helplessly, feeling worse than death.

The reality was, Li Yu hadn't handed out food to them; he merely instructed them to assist with transportation.

Instinctively, they assumed that Li Yu and the others had distributed the food among Old Huang and the others.

So much food, just handed over to them like that?

What about themselves?

No way!

They needed some too.

Influenced by preconceived notions, since Li Yu hadn't killed them and instead freed them from the warehouse, they naturally assumed those in anti-explosion suits were good people.

If they were good people, sharing some food with them wouldn't be excessive.

If Old Huang could get food, sharing some with them wouldn't be unreasonable.

There can't be discriminatory treatment.

Even if Old Huang and the others seemed to know Zhong Chuchu beside Li Yu, implying some connection, the difference in treatment shouldn't be too vast.

People worry less about scarcity and more about inequality.

They could have nothing, but it's unacceptable for others to have when they don't.

Old Huang was like them, once slaves under the Motorcycle Gang. The disparity was unbearable for them.

Hence, they ceased concentrating their animosity on the woman.

They began nudging each other, urging someone to approach Li Yu.

"Look, they're moving rice; I'm so hungry. Ma Zi, go and tell the boss to give us some food too."

"Hey, why don't you go? You must make me?"

"Hurry up, the food will all be taken by them, and we'll have nothing left."

"So hungry..."

"Hungry? Then you go ask."

"You go, I'm not going."

........

This situation persisted, yet no one wanted to be the first to speak up, pushing the responsibility onto others.

"Stop the hesitation, let's go together; how about that? Let's all speak up."

Finally, someone couldn't hold back and proposed a solution.

"Fine, let's do as you say. If anyone doesn't go, they're the fool."

"Let's go."

......

Li Yu suddenly stood up from the stool and, along with Li Tie and the others, pointed their guns at the approaching group. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

His gaze full of vigilance.

The group stopped promptly, standing ten meters away, too frightened to draw closer when they saw Li Yu and the others aiming guns at them.

Li Yu pondered secretly.

The way this group cursed the woman earlier was deeply imprinted in his memory.

What were they coming over for?

Li Yu was somewhat puzzled.

Yet, observing how they occasionally glanced at Old Huang and the others moving the food, he began to chuckle as he realized they misunderstood.

But conveniently, he could watch what kind of trouble they might stir up while waiting for Ju Tianrui and Zhong Chuchu to finish moving supplies.

Soon, Li Yu witnessed it.

"Um, sir. Thanks to you, we were saved."

Once one person started, others joined in.

"Yes, indeed. You displayed incredible power, vanquishing the evil Motorcycle Gang and rescuing us. You're truly wonderful people."

Oh well! Li Yu thought, silently awarding them the "good person" label.

"Yes, we're very grateful. If it weren't for you, we'd probably be trapped by zombies."
