Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 814 - 604: Ingrained Weakness—Bullying the Weak, Fearing the Strong, Bullying the Kind, Fearing the Evil

Chapter 814: Chapter 604: Ingrained Weakness—Bullying the Weak, Fearing the Strong, Bullying the Kind, Fearing the Evil

What about your own family?

This isn’t before the Doomsday.

Before the Doomsday, at most, you’d just be sacrificing the interests of your family without risking death.

But during the Doomsday, if you retreat, delusionally trying to fulfill everyone, the evil of human nature will teach you that everything you do is absurdly laughable.

In the Doomsday, risking your family’s safety for everyone, for a group of strangers, is no different than sacrificing their lives to save others.

Isn’t that just a mental flaw?

The wisdom of the masses, especially a disorganized crowd, is extremely low.

If everyone is equal and given rights, then this decision will inevitably be the worst.

Otherwise, why would there be a need for leaders?

...

Li Yu didn’t know Luo had so many thoughts in his mind, nor did Xiao Jun or Ju Tianrui.

But Ju Tianrui remembered, remembered how the refugees treated him when he left Juzi Island.

Clearly, we treated them better, never coerced or harmed them, even shared food when we had little left.

Yet, many of them didn’t appreciate us.

On the contrary, they listened more to people like Gan Shang, who beat, humiliated, and even killed them.

This is the innate flaw in human nature.

1. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Lu Xun said: The weak anger vents on the weaker, the strong anger vents on the stronger.

It shows that someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong does not possess the qualities of a "strong person".

He is inherently weak, which is why he won’t let the weak go!

2. Bullying the kind and fearing the evil.

"Bullying the weak and fearing the strong" is essentially a way for a weak person to gain self-esteem, which is understandable.

But "bullying the kind and fearing the evil" is nakedly vile behavior! What does it mean to bully the kind and fear the evil? For example, the more generous and kind someone is to you, the less you cherish them.

Yet, you endlessly cherish and respect someone who is "stingy" and terrible to you and doesn’t care about you.

Someone accommodates you in all possible ways, knowing others wouldn’t hurt you, yet you keep pushing boundaries.

From a psychological perspective, people only act out in areas they deem "absolutely safe". In other words, those who bully the kind and fear the evil excel at "drawing their blades" to harm those close to them. Yet, when facing those they fear, they paint themselves as having "good manners" and being "smooth operators".

.....

The refugees were just like that.

It was the scene at Juzi Island that drastically changed Ju Tianrui’s values, transforming him from someone pure and sincere to someone slowly understanding and breaking free from the moral cage.

He embarked on an invincible path.

Ju Tianrui was stunned, replaying Li Yu’s words in his mind.

He wasn’t just thinking about Li Yu’s words, but more about what he witnessed Li Yu doing, what he personally saw at the Big Camphor Tree Base.

At Juzi Island, Gan Shang spoke grandly of righteousness for protection, for humanity, claiming to benefit everyone. But in practice, it was outright dirtiness and bloodshed, human trafficking, something he engaged in tirelessly.

Yet at the Big Camphor Tree Base, what he saw was mutual respect, even Li Yu respected them, although there were four levels, it was justified with more work, more reward, less work, less reward. During the recent high heat and heavy rain, Li Yu allowed them to take refuge in the base.

Even though it was just a small effort for Li Yu.

But that small effort saved so many people.

Yet Li Yu clearly did such good things, but now he claims he wouldn’t save the world, even talks about killing people, potentially many people.

It’s so damn contradictory.

Li Yu didn’t rush Xiao Jun and Ju Tianrui, quietly observing them while sitting on a chair.

For a long time.

Ju Tianrui finally grasped Li Yu’s point, suddenly understanding why Li Yu said so.

In the Doomsday, human nature twisted to the extreme, with many evil people. So, when facing the wicked, how to handle them? By being even more wicked.

This is a means to protect oneself, a method to protect one’s own people.

Not to punch the weak, but to strike the wicked with thunder, becoming the wicked to combat them.

His eyes lit up, slowly speaking to Li Yu: "I trust what I see; I trust your words, Director Li, the people you’re saying should be killed, must be the ones who deserve it, I think there’s no problem."

Li Yu smiled and waved his hand, saying: "I don’t bother with too many grand principles, whether to kill someone or a group, you can always find all sorts of dignified reasons and excuses.

I’m too lazy to look for excuses; I just don’t want to be threatened, even if it’s a hidden danger, I will resolve it."

In ancient times, to kill someone, there would be a sacrificial ceremony for the grand cause.

It’s all for profit.

Li Yu continued: "I want to eliminate Juzi Island; are you joining?"

Ju Tianrui watched Li Yu, with a heroic aura, his brothers following him, and how others treated him, inexplicably sensing a heroic quality about him.

Li Yu’s words were straightforward.

But Ju Tianrui didn’t hesitate, after hearing Li Yu say that.

Simply said: "Alright!"

Firm and earnest.

Li Yu sensed the determination in Ju Tianrui’s tone, with no entanglement, thus changing his view of Ju Tianrui a lot, initially thinking Ju Tianrui would be hesitant considering his previous status, leaving an impression on Li Yu.

What Li Yu didn’t know was, the actions of the refugees when Ju Tianrui left Juzi Island greatly impacted him.

"Alright, no more words, gather here by 7 AM tomorrow, you don’t have to drive any cars, I suppose you don’t have much gasoline left, by then I’ll assign vehicles to you." Li Yu said.

Ju Tianrui quite liked Li Yu’s swift and decisive style.

Originally, they liked to be straightforward, not fond of beating around the bush.

He stood and said to Li Yu: "No problem, we’ll go back and prepare first."

He cupped his fist to Li Yu.

Then saluted Third Uncle: "Old Sergeant, we shall take our leave first."

Subsequently, Ju Tianrui and Xiao Jun saluted Third Uncle and left.

Third Uncle returned the salute.

...

Li Yu stood at the door, watching He Chao escort them out of the Outer City.

His eyes flickering, he mused in his heart, this Ju Tianrui, not bad.

Third Uncle took out a tomato from his pocket, washed it clean under the faucet outside the Residential Building.

A big and red tomato, homegrown, the tomato’s flavor was rich.

A big bite, the juice burst out.

Delicious!

Li Yu raised an eyebrow, seeing Third Uncle eating fruit again, the aroma was strong, he got a bit tempted and asked Third Uncle: "Third Uncle, do you have more? Give me one."

"Hmm?" Third Uncle was slightly stunned.

That’s rare; Li Yu seldom asked him for fruit before.

He felt his pocket, finding just one left.

Reluctance showed on his face, seeing Li Yu still looking at him.

He dug into his pocket and tossed a smaller tomato to Li Yu.

"No more, just this one left, you’ll have to return it later," Third Uncle said.

Li Yu caught it and gave it a quick rinse under the faucet.

Crunch—

The rich juice exploded in his mouth, seven parts sweet, three parts sour.

Smiling, he said: "Third Uncle, you should go pick some from the vegetable garden."

Third Uncle rolled his eyes at him without saying a word.

The two walked into the Inner City.

Behind them followed Li Tie, sniffing the tomato fragrance, looking resentful.

One is his father, the other his big brother.

Completely ignoring him, without sharing.

Sigh....

He had something to say but didn’t know if he should.

...

The sun had long set, and night had already fallen.

Under the central street lamp in the Outer City,

the shadows of the three gradually disappeared into the Outer City.
