Compared to this life, he realized he had been too kind from the very beginning. At that moment, he suddenly remembered a famous saying from before the apocalypse.
When you have nothing, the world appears ugly to you; when you possess overwhelming power, even the devil can be redeemed.
This statement aptly describes the state of mind of the two Yuan emperors.
If Yuan Chuyi didn't have the system in this life, these villains in his eyes would still be a mountain that would be very difficult to overcome.
Similarly, billionaires before the apocalypse would find it difficult to comprehend the hardships faced by low-income groups, and even less able to understand why these people would work so hard for such a small income.
For a moment, Yuan Chuyi entered a state of enlightenment, and he seemed to be looking at the problem from a God's-eye view.
"Young man, young man."
The calls startled Yuan Chuyi from his reverie.
He looked at the burly man who was still tied up and said, "Sorry, I was thinking about something and forgot about you for a moment."
The burly man, his face darkening, said, "Young man, can you save my son?" He then gestured with his chin toward the boy beside him.
Yuan Chuyi walked up to the boy, examined him for a moment, and said, "Don't worry, he's just unconscious."
As she spoke, she cast a healing spell on the boy, then looked at the big man curiously and asked, "What made you give up your son's life and refuse to reveal the location of the food?"
The big man looked at Yuan Chuyi for a long time, then sighed and said, "Where would anyone be willing to give up their son's life?"
I had no choice but to do this.
Yuan Chuyi didn't rush to untie the ropes binding the big man, but instead took out a cigarette and started smoking.
The burly man slowly spoke, "I'm from Li Village below. A few days ago, we discovered several wandering zombies near where we were hiding."
My son and I planned to lure them away, but instead of the zombies, we ran into Jin Dahai and his gang who were stealing food from the village.
Several other villagers were also arrested, but Jin Dahai said they would be released if they handed over half of their grain.
However, the Wang family believed him and revealed their hiding place. He thought he would be released immediately.
What awaited him was the arrest of his wife and daughters, who were then... harmed.
Actually, our family consists of more than just my son and me; his fifteen-year-old sister and his mother also live here.
Now Yuan Chuyi finally understood why the big man chose to die with his father rather than reveal the location of their family's hidden grain.
Seeing the boy who had just woken up, Yuan Chuyi cut the ropes binding the two of them. The big man first quickly checked the boy's injuries, and then tried to pull the boy down to kneel.
Yuan Chu quickly stopped him and said, "I don't want you to be eaten by zombies as soon as I rescued you."
After speaking, he pointed to the blood all over the ground. The big man understood what Yuan Chuyi meant. He was afraid that if he knelt down and got stained with blood, the zombies would smell it when he went out.
After Yuan Chuyi used a healing spell on the big man again, he handed them two Wind Blade Technique manuals and said, "Crush them hard."
After watching the father and son crush the two Wind Blade Technique manuals, Yuan Chu said as he walked out, "Save people within your capabilities; those who can't are idiots."
Haicheng is now a fortified city, making it relatively safer.
By the time the father and son realized what had happened, Yuan Chuyi had already disappeared.
The boy suddenly asked, "Dad, do you think that person is a god?"
The burly man nodded and said, "Perhaps, but now that you have the ability, you can't just ask for favors. Didn't you hear what our benefactor just said? Save people only when you have the ability. There's a Buddhist saying, 'Buddha helps those who are destined to be saved.' We should do the same from now on."
In fact, Yuan Chuyi was just giving a casual instruction. His intention was to remind the father and son not to think they were the chosen ones and act like pushovers just because they had skills.
The big man misinterpreted this as meaning that saving someone depended on fate.
Zheng Shuang, who had been waiting outside for a long time, finally saw Yuan Chuyi strolling over leisurely. She lightly stamped her foot and quickly walked up to him, asking, "Is everything going smoothly?"
Yuan Chuyi shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Of course."
Then he saw Zheng Shuang say unhappily, "Didn't you say you'd be out in five minutes? Look, you're a full three minutes late. I'm giving you a bad review for this."
Looking at Zheng Shuang pouting and making a cute face, Yuan Chuyi smiled and said, "I will definitely pay attention next time. Please give this operation a five-star rating, Miss."
As Zheng Shuang felt Yuan Chuyi joking with her, an indescribable sense of happiness welled up in her heart. She mustered her courage and put her arm around Yuan Chuyi's arm.
Sensing Zheng Shuang's nervousness, Yuan Chuyi continued teasingly, "Are you in such a hurry? How about tonight? There are so many zombies watching on the street."
Listening to Yuan Chuyi teasing Zheng Shuang
He snorted and said, "I'm ignoring you!"
As she spoke, Zheng Shuang pinched Yuan Chuyi's waist hard with her small hand that was holding his arm.
The two arrived in front of the group surrounded by zombie babies and mutated wolves. Yuan Chuyi thought for a moment and said, "Of the eleven of you, only three can live. Who lives and who dies depends on who has the deepest sins."
"Come on, now expose each other. If no one answers in five minutes, then you can all go see Jin Dahai."
After speaking, Yuan Chuyi took out a sofa and placed it on the ground, gesturing for Zheng Shuang to sit down as well.
Looking at the dozen or so people who were on the verge of a mental breakdown, Yuan Chuyi added, "Don't even think about running away. What if you're one of the three survivors? That would be such a loss."
Under the pressure of this death countdown, a blond-haired youth pointed at one person and said, "He's done the most bad things here. He set fire to a house and killed a woman just to steal her bread."
And him, and him—this man identified almost everyone.
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone started pointing fingers at each other: "He's killed people too!"
He forced himself on a girl, and he stole a woman's underwear.
This man also raped an 88-year-old woman.
He also drugged and slept with a college student before the apocalypse.
“You’re the one who drugged her, that college student did it voluntarily, okay?” the accused retorted.
The scene was chaotic and utterly disorienting. Yuan Chuyi was disgusted by the various crimes and punishments being explained, accused, denied, begged for mercy, and framed.
A few minutes later, Yuan Chuyi couldn't stand it anymore and unleashed a wall of fire towards the group.
Just as the corpses were being separated, Yuan Chuyi said awkwardly, "Sorry, I forgot to leave three behind."
Zheng Shuang looked at Yuan Chuyi, who had an innocent look on her face, and whispered, "You're so mean. You don't let any of them go, so why lie to them?"
Yuan Chuyi said awkwardly, "I didn't control my strength for a moment, and I apologize to them now."
While Yuan Chuyi was humming an off-key song in the driver's seat, he didn't notice that Zheng Shuang was hiding far behind the base vehicle, covering her ears, when he started singing.
