Under the mottled low wall, on the muddy road, several people were holding down a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old boy, punching and kicking him crazily. .
And those few people were not strong men, they were just an ordinary family of six. There were an old man in his sixties, a fat housewife, a young couple, and a child of seven or eight years old. They all had red eyes, cursed and started to attack. He showed no mercy, even the child picked it up and turned around and smashed it.
Cruel? Heartless
No, this is not heartless...
Because the fourteen-year-old boy was at fault first. He stole other people's food, which was equivalent to provoking other people's limits. In this doomsday era where people may starve to death at any time, stealing food is no less serious. For stealing other people's babies!
In the past, if someone was found to be abducting or trafficking children, they would be beaten to death on the spot and sent to the police station. Nowadays, if someone is found stealing food, even if they are beaten to death on the spot, no passerby would dare to help and intercede!
Some people may think that Hainan is rich in fruits and vegetables, and the survivor base is close to the coast where fish can be harvested. Logically speaking, food should not be so poor.
However, no matter how many fruits and melons you eat, how long can you eat them? Don’t forget that plants all over the world are now genetically mutated. Many wild melons and fruits are already highly toxic. Even if they are not poisonous, how can fruits and vegetables survive for 150 years? Food consumption for 10,000 survivors.
As for seafood, it's even more ridiculous. This base is a full thirty kilometers away from the port of Haikou City. How can it be possible to fish in large quantities to feed 1.5 million people from such a long distance? Moreover, without large fishing boats, there is no way to catch enough fish at one time. If you can catch a fish in the sea with just your hands, it is already very impressive, but who dares to dive into the sea now? Catch fish? If you accidentally encounter a giant insect in the sea, your ten lives will not be enough to lose it!
"Bai Ying, are you going to take care of something like this?"
"No... that boy is pitiful, but he was at fault first... There is no difference between stealing food and robbing food. When my mother and I were poor, someone once robbed us of food, which made my mother and I almost starve to death. , finally desperate, my mother resolutely became a prostitute without telling me, using her body in exchange for support from clients, so I understand that feeling very well... "
"Oh? But that boy is about to be beaten to death. Don't you want to save him?"
"He is very pitiful, but... he can be saved for a while, but not forever. People starve to death in the slums of Hainan every day. Even if we can save him today, he will still steal other people's food to feed him tomorrow or tomorrow. Lame brother, instead of harming others, it is better to..."
Yu Baiying shook her head and said that she hated thieves deeply and wished that all thieves would die.
"Oh, very good. You are fundamentally different from my enemy... If she were here, she would definitely come up to protect the boy regardless of the situation. Well, she never does things through her brain. Always like to protect the weak..."
Li Jiayu admires Yu Baiying's ability to distinguish right from wrong. At least she won't randomly post "Zheng Zheng Chun", which is much better than "Dian Hongxia", but -
"Bai Ying, do you know the obligations and responsibilities of inheritors? God has given us powerful power to fight against the ferocious aliens who invaded the earth, and also to help the weak within our ability, because, They are the last bloodline of human beings, and we can be indifferent to the life and death of ordinary people... But if something happens under your eyes, you should deal with these things with your outlook on life."
"What?" Yu Baiying's eyes widened, not understanding what Li Jiayu meant.
Li Jiayu didn't say anything, and walked directly over. Suddenly he took out a few stored sea fish from the space ring, threw them in front of the family of six with a few "pops", and whispered:
"These few fish are worth a box of your dry noodles, why don't you stop."
The faces of the family of six all changed, and they didn't talk nonsense. They quickly bent down to pick up the fat sea fish on the ground. After saying a few thanks, they slipped back to their home, fearing that passers-by would find out that they had picked up a few thick and long sea fish. .
They are not stupid, and they can naturally tell that the stranger wearing a magic robe and a silver mask is the inheritor. If the inheritor speaks, do they dare not agree
As for the boy who was beaten, although his nose was bruised, his face was swollen and his body was bloody, his muscles and bones were not injured. He struggled to get up and wanted to thank Li Jiayu for saving his life. But he was shocked to find that Li Jiayu and Yu Bai Ying had already disappeared.
At another corner, Yu Baiying asked quietly:
"Master, if you can help him once, he will still steal people's things in the future..."
"I know that I just do good deeds every day and occasionally rise up. Under the torrent of this famine era, my personal power is just a drop in the ocean and can't change anything... You know, no one can say what will happen in the future. Maybe After that child learned this lesson, he would stop stealing and instead collect non-poisonous mushrooms. Of course, he might also be poisoned to death. In short, if he doesn't die today, there will be countless possibilities for his life tomorrow. Maybe, like you, he will meet a noble person by chance and change his destiny... "
"Master, your concept of good and evil... Bai Ying can't keep up."
"Good and evil? There is no absolute good or evil in this world. People claim to be kind, but they feed on the meat of pigs and cows. In the eyes of pigs and cows, people are devils, but in the eyes of the insect world's army, people are... They are stubborn pigs and cows, and they are also wondering why humans refuse to let them be slaughtered and eaten... So, it doesn't matter whether you are good or evil, what matters is how you look at everything in front of you... Well, it's like The Poison Demon Hunting Group, although they have done many evil things, they have killed many bugs and zombies. From a certain point of view, they have also protected this base... I helped you destroy them, even though you regard them as benefactors. , but they regard me as a evil star. In their eyes, I am a devil worse than them... "
"What matters is how I feel about it?"
"Yes, everyone's standards of good and evil are different. Just keep your conscience clear. Even if one day you feel that all the men in the world deserve to die, you can go ahead and kill all the men in the world. However, You will die a little more miserable."
"I seem to understand something, but I'm still young... There are some deeper meanings that I haven't touched..."
"Haha, what I mean is, do whatever you want, why do you have so much hesitation? Save people when you want to save people, kill people when you want to kill. This is in line with your assassin's style! No matter you do something wrong or right, but Just hope you have no regrets.”
"You can do whatever you want... But I don't want to hurt innocent people..."
"In this world, it doesn't matter who is innocent and who is not. Just like the two parties just now, who do you think is innocent? The child who stole the noodles? Or the family of six who wanted to kill someone? They are both right. The fault lies in They live in this precarious apocalyptic era... The reason why I took out some food to calm the trouble is because I didn't dislike anyone, but if some conditions were changed, I would stand by and watch. For example, the boy didn't just steal a few bags. Noodles, but a whole box of dry noodles, thrown in that family's food, huh, don't say that family beat him to death, even I will personally crush him into ashes - or that family If the child is a big traitor and wants to sell the boy to a 'human flesh dealer' instead of beating him to death, then I will also take action to wipe out that family... Therefore, whether others are good or evil is entirely up to you to judge in a moment. , whether others are qualified to live... is up to you to decide, because you are the inheritor."
"I, I understand..."
"You don't understand, you will understand later."
Li Jiayu's tone was a little mysterious. Maybe even he himself didn't notice some subtle changes. He said to Yu Baiying:
"The experience of the heart is sometimes very important... This apocalypse is an excellent stage to torture the heart. When you understand certain human nature thoroughly, your thoughts will be unobstructed and your progress will naturally be rapid. One day , the door to legend will be open for you.”
Yu Baiying nodded in understanding, said nothing, and continued to follow Li Jiayu like a shadow.
In the slums of Nuoda, there are many things that happen.
"Open the door, open the door! It's time to pay the protection fee. This street is under our control. Each person pays one tael of grain per head. What? Can't afford it? Damn it! If I hadn't been a god descending to earth, using luck to suppress the Look at this street. This street has collapsed a long time ago. Are you still alive? Don't hand over? OK, send all your wives and daughters over here and let your buddies relax!" A group of gangsters said A few steel rods were used to extort money from house to house. Anyone who dared to resist would be severely beaten with the rods and everything in the house would be smashed to pieces.
"Friend... are you so hungry that you feel dizzy... Hey, come on, I'll take you to eat meat. This meat is very fresh. It's not pork or fish. It's a kind of meat you've never eaten before. I'm sure you can Eat it once and you will never forget it..." A disgusting fat man with bad breath was trying to win over passers-by to join a cannibalistic cult.
"What kind of dog! If you are blind and dare to hit me, you are seeking death. Do you know that, ha? Didn't you see that I am wearing a military uniform? Ha? This is an insect skin suit made by the Army Logistics Department. Several dollars were spent on it. A magic circle is drawn with an insect crystal! Take it to the black market and sell it for ten second-level insect crystals! I'll pay you! Can you afford it, huh? You bumped into me all dirty and took the whole set. How can I wear my uniform when it's all stained!! What? You said your mother is dead and you were so upset that you didn't see me? Get out of here! I'll send you down to see your mother right now!" A low-level inheritance The relatives of the deceased, pretending to be powerful and powerful, would bully the poor people indiscriminately while wearing an insect skin suit.
"Someone please help... I beg you, my child has a high fever, the fever is so bad, he is covered in sweat. I beg you, please help me save his life. I can't lose my only child again... Who wants to If I can save him, I am willing to work as a cow or a horse, and to be a slave for the rest of my life, I beg you..." A 30-year-old woman with disheveled hair, already starved to the point of being sallow and emaciated, but she still held a skinny five or six-year-old child in her arms. , trotting all over the streets, looking for someone who can help her...
But, so what if she could find a doctor. Without treatment, the doctor could not save her life. And in the slums of Nuoda, there was no such high-end product as insect crystal. Even if there was, no one would give it to a child. use.
"No! Don't drive me out... Don't drive me out, you are my husband! Why are you treating me like this? A year ago, at our wedding hall, you said you would love me till death and share joys and sorrows together. For you, I gave up even being a good civil servant and didn't even listen to my father's words, but why are you kicking me out now... I have a cold, fever and cough, so what, it's just an ordinary illness... You are just... If your friend says that I have an infectious disease, do you want to leave me alone? Would you rather listen to your friend than believe your wife... "
Outside the building, a young husband drove his wife out of the house with a broom. His friend wearing gold-rimmed glasses was smiling evilly and coveting his wife beside him, as if he wanted to devour the poor wife in one bite. Go down.
There are too many ugly things... There are so many disputes just a few minutes away. It's hard to imagine how many days the people in this slum can survive.
"Owner… "
"Just do it if you want to. Just use your own values to measure right and wrong... I know you have lived here for a while. If you want to repay a favor, go and do it. If you want to kill someone, go kill it. Anyway, I'll go to Nanhai. You have to stay in Hainan for a while and wait for me to come back... Well, just take these low-level insect crystals, but don't be too reluctant, you don't need to make everything perfect."
Li Jiayu knew that Yu Baiying wanted to take control of this slum area, so he did not object and directly gave Yu Baiying her freedom.
Yu Baiying nodded, and after taking some insect crystals, she turned into a streak of white smoke, moved instantly, and flashed behind the extortion gangsters. The light of the sword flashed, and the gangsters immediately lost their heads. Then she flashed behind the human flesh cultist and chopped him from head to toe with a knife.
Li Jiayu walked out of this slum alone and walked directly to the residence of his friend Mu Toyun.
Under the guidance of the devil dog, Li Jiayu walked through several streets and came to a slightly dilapidated car repair shop. There were many cracks in the walls, and the surrounding area was filled with a strange smell that made people smell it. Somewhat uncomfortable.
"Huh? My old friend lives here? Didn't he say that he joined a demon hunting group? The financial resources of the demon hunting group should not be too bad, but the place where he lives is..."
When Li Jiayu was confused, he suddenly heard bursts of ping-pong sounds coming from the maintenance shop, as if there was the sound of a fight, and at the same time, there was a hoarse shout like a dinosaur roaring, which resounded throughout the sky! RS
