Inside the conference room.
Everyone looked at Li Yu, waiting for him to make a decision.
Li Yu looked at their expressions and sighed inwardly.
Many times, people always look before they leap, considering various problems.
They also worry about what others think.
This time, Li Yu needed to teach them a lesson.
When dealing with enemies, there's no need for politeness, and even less for morality.
In the apocalypse, whoever is merciful to their enemies is cruel to themselves.
So Li Yu directly gave the order: "Keep Hua Chuanxiong and another person named Lao Sun; kill everyone else."
Upon hearing this, most people weren't too surprised or disturbed; it was consistent with Li Yu's previous style of doing things.
They just hadn't expected Li Yu to state it so directly in front of everyone.
Everyone looked at Li Yu, listening to what he would say next.
Li Yu then continued: "In this apocalypse, kindness is good, and mercy is also good.
I admire those with great love.
I also admire those who save the world.
However, are you willing to save others and then let your family and friends get hurt or die?
Before the apocalypse.
I once saw a news report about a monk who sold his house for 5 million, yet his daughter had to take out a loan for college.
Ultimately, this person later couldn't find his daughter.
Some people, with compassionate hearts, save others, but they fail their parents who raised them their entire lives.
Some people, for the sake of so-called integrity, treat enemies with trust regardless of who they are, ultimately harming themselves and others.
Why should we be trustworthy towards enemies? Why should we maintain a merciful heart towards enemies?
If you can't even take good care of your own family and friends, what good is it for others to say you are noble?
Among you, some are my relatives, some are my friends, and some are brothers and sisters who joined us later.
However, since we can be together, I only want one thing.
In this apocalypse, I want to lead all of you to live well!
I hope you can understand one thing:
When dealing with enemies, there's no need for morality!"
After these words were spoken, the room fell silent.
Many people's faces flushed, some panting with excitement.
For example, Song Min and Lao Lü had suffered losses because of this, paying a huge price.
Others, like Li Haoran, looked at Li Yu with admiration.
Everyone felt that everything Li Yu did was for them, for their benefit.
Thinking about everything they possessed now, in this cruel apocalypse, being able to eat well and dress warmly was truly a luxury.
Li Yu had expressed his thoughts more than once in front of everyone.
He didn't want to save the world; he only wanted to lead like-minded people to build a sanctuary in the apocalypse.
Saving the world was too tiring, and he wasn't cut out for it.
Lao Lü and Lao Xie both felt a bit emotional after hearing Li Yu's words.
In this apocalypse, Liberation City used to accept all kinds of people, refusing no one.
They also emphasized a spirit of dedication, working hard to maintain and protect everyone.
However, the resulting chaos wasn't because their ideals were wrong, but because they weren't suitable for this cruel apocalypse.
There were too many people, and basic survival conditions, like food, were insufficient, so chaos was inevitable.
In that chaos, they both lost loved ones.
They paid an irreplaceable price to understand this truth.
After a moment of silence.
Second Uncle slowly said: "Xiao Yu, alright, we'll go handle it in a bit."
Li Yu nodded, a feeling of vexation in his heart.
He was actually struggling internally; killing these few people was a small matter.
It just extended to some thoughts he had within himself.
Great people are great because they have a high perspective and broad-mindedness.
For a nation, the country comes before the family.
If this were before the apocalypse, he could also, when facing the little Japanese, when facing foreign invaders.
Shout: If there's a war, I'll be there.
But now, it's the apocalypse.
This is a vast catastrophe.
He was just an ordinary person; he couldn't save the whole world.
It's good to know oneself; if not, one harms oneself and others.
He slowly exhaled a breath.
Everyone dispersed.
Da Pao and Li Tie went directly to the prison to deal with those few people.
Li Yu walked alone to the wall, feeling a bit lost inside.
He didn't know if what he was doing was right or wrong.
But he knew that doing this was the safest for the people in the base.
Thump, thump, thump~
A faint sound of footsteps echoed.
Li Yu turned his head; it was Third Uncle.
Third Uncle was wearing a black assault jacket.
Third Uncle saw Li Yu and said: "Xiao Yu, have you thought it through? Should we go over there?"
Li Yu looked at the dark night sky; it had been warming up for the past few days, with the sun shining brightly.
Li Yu pondered for a moment and said:
"If we can go directly, that would certainly be best. If fewer of us go, we can eliminate them, but since their numbers are too large, I'm worried about insufficient firepower.
However, if too many people go, the commotion will be too great, and the journey is hundreds of kilometers. If we encounter a zombie horde, it will be very difficult. I haven't decided yet."
Third Uncle nodded in understanding.
In the apocalypse, it's either you eliminate me, or I eliminate you.
There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
If Da Zhangshu Base's strength was insufficient, it would also be attacked by other powerful forces.
This wasn't worrying unnecessarily; it was an absolute fact.
Now that they had discovered forces plotting against them, they had to eradicate them, and as quickly as possible.
It was just because of the distance, and because the zombies had come out after the weather warmed up.
A gust of wind blew by.
The wind carried a faint, damp smell.
Trees in the distance swayed, illuminated by floodlights.
Branches swayed, creating an indescribable atmosphere in their movement.
Whoosh~
The wind blew through the trees, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Li Yu stretched out his hand, feeling the air.
Third Uncle looked up at the dark clouds in the sky.
The dark clouds covered the moon and stars.
Li Yu said: "It's going to rain."
Third Uncle smiled and said: "If it rains, it seems fate has given us a choice."
As soon as he finished speaking.
A light drizzle began to fall on the ground.
Li Yu stood on the wall, feeling the raindrops.
He liked rain very much, he liked the feeling of rain outside while he stayed indoors, watching the gentle drizzle.
However, after the apocalypse arrived, rain became a disaster.
Zombies would become enraged by the rain, and in rainy weather, their various abilities would be greatly enhanced.
Their sense of smell would increase exponentially, allowing them to detect the scent of living people.
Places with more humans were more likely to form large zombie hordes.
So, zombie hordes were very likely to occur on rainy days.
Raindrops fell into Li Yu's hand, and Li Yu looked at Third Uncle, saying: "It's raining, so let's not go out for now.
The journey is long; we should at least wait until after this rain passes."
Third Uncle tightened his clothes and said: "Mm, it's raining. I'll go check the monitoring room in case there's a zombie horde, so we can prepare early."
Li Yu nodded and then returned to the duty room.
