Lu Li was speechless about the world’s indifferent reaction.

The apocalypse is upon us, and yet you all remain so composed?

To be honest, at this moment he felt like cursing; you’re all making this really difficult for me!

But it seemed that all eight billion people on Earth had given up, and he felt helpless.

Lu Li could only forcibly suppress his helplessness and bring his grandmother, aunt, uncle, and other relatives and friends into the super base.

He had to pick up a lot of people, and they were scattered all over the world, so it was quite time-consuming.

He spent about half a day picking up his relatives and friends from all around the world.

It was now one in the afternoon. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Inside the super base.

Lu Li was sitting in the core control room, frowning in thought about how to make the eight billion people on Earth beg him to save the world.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him.

Soon after, Gu Wei’s voice sounded, "Mr. Lu, are you busy?"

Since Lu Li met Gu Wei, the latter had always treated him well and considered him a friend deep down.

Naturally, he brought Gu Wei’s entire family too.

Not just Gu Wei’s family.

Others like Zhang Guocheng, who he had contact with before, were also brought in.

Without turning his head, Lu Li replied, "Not busy, just thinking about something."

Gu Wei stepped forward and sat down in a sleek high-tech chair next to him.

He said, "I see your brows furrowed, you seem troubled?"

Lu Li turned his head slightly, "Old Gu, we’ve known each other for a month or two, right?"

Gu Wei nodded slightly, "Just about."

Lu Li asked again, "In your impression, what kind of person am I?"

Gu Wei thought for a while, then said seriously, "To be honest, when I first met you, you didn’t feel much different from other young people, except you had more inexplicable superpowers."

Lu Li said, "What about later on?"

Gu Wei blinked, "Promise you won’t get mad."

Lu Li smiled wryly, "With our good relationship, how could I get mad even if you said something wrong?"

"Alright, I’ll be frank then."

Gu Wei paused momentarily, seemingly organizing his words.

Then, he said softly, "When I first found out that you wiped out the entire Jalisco Group by yourself, my initial thought was if you’re a bloodthirsty person, especially since you killed so many people. But once I understood the reason behind it, I realized you’re a person rich with a sense of justice, not bloodthirsty. You were willing to travel tens of thousands of kilometers to Mexico to eliminate the Jalisco Group, a malignancy, for a little girl you didn’t know. This sense of justice is indisputable."

Lu Li nodded lightly, indicating he was listening intently.

Gu Wei continued, "Then with the issue concerning the Morgan Clan, honestly, I think you exercised a lot of restraint. You didn’t do anything bad even when Old Ugly caused trouble, and instead led the mercenaries and Old Ugly’s warriors into the desert, which shows you didn’t want to kill. The blame lies on those who provoked you. I’m not wrong in this assessment, right?"

Lu Li let out a sound of agreement, "That’s right, I just want to live peacefully, even with unimaginable superpowers. My original dream was to have endless money and a peaceful life with family. If the Morgan Clan hadn’t pushed me too far, I wouldn’t have done what I did, no matter what. With all you’ve said, you still haven’t told me your final impression of me. Don’t worry, go on."

"I said all this to set up for what I’m about to say."

Gu Wei frowned slightly, "You are inherently someone with a keen sense of justice, only when pushed to the limit, you’d rely on your immense power to do something frightening. You are already very restrained. Look at some supervillains in movies with powers; they were once kind but ended up consumed by power, acting wantonly. I haven’t seen the slightest trace of that in you, which shows your strong will and belief. So, in my current impression, you are a young man bursting with a sense of justice and strong willpower."

Lu Li sighed, "If I’m a good person, why am I not understood by the world?"

Gu Wei chuckled, "They haven’t truly gotten to know you, so how could they know your real temperament? Take the gamma-ray burst incident, for example. After you ’foresaw the future’ and learned about it, you didn’t bother with nonsense with the world. You just let me inform the top leadership to see if there’s a way to figure it out. During this time, you worked quietly, like creating the Megatron, showing your willingness to save the world. It’s only because of some misunderstandings that your temper flared and you didn’t want to save those ignorant people, or in your words, those ignorant lowly beings. You did nothing wrong. If it were me, I’d surely be angry too in such a situation."

Being understood feels really good.

Over these days, Lu Li had been misunderstood by eight billion people worldwide, and it made him quite uncomfortable inside.

Now seeing how understanding Gu Wei was, he couldn’t help but sigh.

He joked, "Old Gu, lucky for you being a man, otherwise I’d definitely consider you my bosom confidant."

Gu Wei blinked, "If two men can’t be confidants, can’t we at least be good friends?"

Lu Li burst out in laughter.
