Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 753 - 583: I Do Things My Way, No Need to Explain to You! (Three-in-one, 6300 words long - )
Being confined in a narrow or dark space for an extended period can make people irritable and oppressed.
And at the Big Camphor Tree Base’s Second Outer City, some people have become increasingly strange because of this.
But relative to those outside the base, they are fortunate—they don’t have to worry about Zombies appearing at any moment, at least their surroundings are safe.
The long night twisted some people’s hearts even further.
Finally, taking advantage of the darkness, someone could not hold back any longer and made a move.
...
In the Second Outer City, lights shine brightly.
A dense crowd in the hall dispersed to either side.
Uncle and the others looked displeased, watching the few in the middle shouting about unfairness, causing a disturbance.
In a corner, Zuo Ruxue watched the group in the middle with a face full of indignation, holding Bu Gu, a team member who was not very old.
Bu Gu’s face showed fear, and there was a mark around the neck.
The hall was still noisy until Li Yu walked in from outside.
"Empty words prove nothing, we didn’t do anything, and Zuo Ruxue just made it all up."
"Yeah, in the pitch dark, we were just staying in our room. It can’t be so unfair just because we’re not Extra Staff, right?"
"Indeed, most of us here aren’t Extra Staff; surely we can’t be treated differently just because we don’t have that status?"
The few in the middle, one after another, stirred the emotions of the crowd.
Some crossed their arms with an attitude of watching a show – it had nothing to do with them; they were just there for the excitement.
Others, however, were provoked by their words and showed some doubt on their faces.
"Do you think what Zuo Ruxue and her people said is true?"
"I don’t know, the power was out just now, in complete darkness, nothing could be seen clearly. But in my opinion, Bai Tao is not a good person, if Zuo Ruxue says so, it must not be baseless."
"Sigh, Director Li is here now. Let’s see how he deals with it...."
...
The hall instantly quieted down as Li Yu walked in.
No one spoke anymore.
Li Yu scanned the crowd, saw the angry Zuo Ruxue holding a girl under twenty whose clothes were disheveled with some marks around her neck.
Zuo Ruxue’s group all glared at the men in the middle.
A few of the men in the middle, ignoring the fury from Zuo Ruxue, looked at them triumphantly instead.
From the look of it, there was definitely a dispute between Zuo Ruxue’s group and these men.
Based on what He Chao had told him on his way there, he had a good idea about the situation.
Currently, it boiled down to what Zuo Ruxue claimed:
When Bu Gu, a member of Zuo Ruxue’s team, was returning from the bathroom, passing by Bai Tao and the others’ doorway, she was dragged into the room, nearly subjected to humiliation.
Bu Gu screamed for help, very loudly, and to avoid being discovered, Bu Gu was nearly choked by Bai Tao and the others. Later, neighbors like Zuo Ruxue arrived in response to the noise.
To prevent being caught, Bai Tao and his group opened the door, made a commotion, and pushed Bu Gu out, dispersing in all directions.
According to Bai Tao and his group:
They had never left their room; they too heard Bu Gu’s screams and then opened the door to check, only to be framed by Zuo Ruxue, who had a prior grudge against them.
...
Li Yu knew this matter was very simple to resolve.
Before these people came in, tiny cameras had been installed all over the building. Every move they made here could be clearly seen on the screen.
While angry, he remained calm on the surface; he wanted to use this incident to see who else would jump out.
With more people, the hearts of men vary, and naturally, some would jump out.
It isn’t those who jump out that he fears, it’s those who don’t.
Uncle approached Li Yu, speaking in a low voice, "I have already sent Li Tie to check the surveillance cameras; we should be able to tell who is lying soon."
Li Yu nodded slightly and said, "No rush, let’s watch some more, see what other tricks they have up their sleeves. Just now, wasn’t Bai Tao stirring people up, claiming they were being treated unfairly?"
Uncle looked displeased and said, "They are truly ungrateful, allowed to enter here yet not behaving themselves, causing divisions. I think we might as well drive the troublemakers out later."
Uncle naturally could discern some clues. Although he hadn’t got the surveillance footage, having served in the Armed Police for many years gave him a degree of judgment.
For many Cooperative Personnel, some naturally have emotions; the rooms assigned to them are more crowded with more people yet fewer rooms.
On the other hand, the Extra Staff who also lived in the Residential Building had generally larger suites and fewer people. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Psychologically imbalanced.
Psychological imbalance begets envy.
It’s not scarcity but unfairness that brings discontent.
There is no absolute fairness.
Those who contribute less yet want the same treatment, shouting about fairness while being disrespectful. Those people, Li Yu despised the most.
The crowd quieted down as Li Yu entered the hall.
After quietly discussing with Uncle for a moment, Li Yu turned his gaze towards Bai Tao and the others.
He spoke slowly, "Continue talking, finish what you were saying just now."
His tone was calm but carried a deterring force.
Bai Tao’s heart thumped, seeing Li Yu’s demeanor, filled with both shock and reluctance.
