Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 762 - 585: A Friendship Worth a Peck of Rice, An Enmity Over a Scoop of Rice_3
His expression was agitated, the gratitude in his eyes very apparent.
"What’s there to thank me for, I definitely won’t let you guys be wronged. Work hard, and once your points reach the requirement and you fully join us, you will discover a new world!"
"Okay!" Zuo Ruxue nodded vigorously, then she and Xiao Hu bowed slightly to Li Yu and left.
Uncle watched Li Yu talking with Xiao Hu and the others from the hall, where he couldn’t hear them.
Now seeing their conversation had ended, he walked over, somewhat curiously asking: "Xiao Yu, what were you talking to Zuo Ruxue and the others about just now?"
Li Yu’s eyes held a sharpness as he said softly: "The incident just now is not as simple as it appears on the surface.
Bu Gu was just a catalyst; Bai Tao used it to ignite the conflict between Extra Staff and Cooperative Personnel and then escalate it to involve the Inner City.
He was stirring up everyone’s emotions, trying to carve up our base.
The dozen or so people just now weren’t scattered among various teams, but in two groups, and according to the investigation by Xiao Hu and the others, these two groups have been rather close with Bai Tao.
All of this proves one thing: their actions were intentional, this was an incident orchestrated to provoke everyone and create conflict!"
Uncle’s face showed a complex expression, how the hell...?
Hmm...?
How to verify?
Suddenly, Uncle thought of this problem and said: "If we hadn’t killed them, it would be good. Now we can’t get a clear answer anymore."
According to Uncle’s professional habits from before, one generally follows a clue. Then uncover more clues, and keep fishing to reveal the big fish.
But now Li Yu’s method is, once there’s a sign of trouble, to just kill them all directly, without even a hint of hesitation.
In the post-apocalyptic world, that’s how it is; all the schemes and tricks are useless in the face of absolute power.
You don’t even need to scheme; if I simply don’t like you, killing you directly, as long as it’s clean, there won’t be any trouble afterward.
There’s no legal punishment, as long as you don’t care about others’ opinions, and in the post-apocalyptic world, how many people care about others’ opinions.
If you kill someone, that means there are no consequences.
This is the cruel post-apocalyptic world.
When there are no laws to restrain people’s bodies, no morals to bind people’s spirits and souls.
Complete freedom, is complete breakdown.
This kind of freedom, for a good person who holds on to moral principles, is absolute unfreedom.
But for those evildoers, that is true freedom.
And the more evil the person, the more freedom they have.
....
Hearing Uncle’s words, Li Yu also felt that he had indeed killed too quickly just now, without a proper inquiry.
But it doesn’t matter anymore; now those corpses can’t be found.
At He Chao’s end, after a long count, a total of 1987 jin of food was needed, not even one ton.
These grains were but a drop in the ocean of their stored food.
Dapao and his group just happened to bring the grains over.
Distribution.
Each person’s food debt was recorded clearly and distinctly.
Those who got their food bowed one after another to Li Yu and his group.
In the post-apocalyptic world, nobody owes anybody.
There is no obligation or duty to help others.
Li Yu and the others helping them out was a great favor, which they had to accept.
Seeing their grateful expressions, Li Yu couldn’t help but reflect:
One shouldn’t give too much, giving too much breeds greed.
Give just a little, and they will feel indebted to you.
Gratitude for a bushel of rice, hatred for a cup.
If you give someone a small help during perilous time, they will be grateful.
But if you give too much help to someone, and they become dependent, once the help stops, it will rather cause resentment.
To manage these people, both the stick and the carrot are needed.
At times, the death of some people is necessary as well.
Li Yu thought it was ironic, but that’s the reality.
