This matter was not a big deal for Li Xuanzu, and he didn't dwell on it.
The seven continued their journey to the next city to clear out the zombies. This time, their destination was City A, the area where Leng An had mentioned was the first place in his previous life where third-tier zombies first appeared.
However, Leng An only knew that it would appear in City A, but did not know the exact location, so he could only clear it slowly and rescue some survivors along the way.
Qian Li rode in the same car with Li Xuanzu this time. After all, she had made a move against Leng An, and she would feel a little uncomfortable being with them again. Or perhaps, children tend to take feelings too seriously.
If it were Li Xuanzu, he could easily laugh it off and continue to be sworn brothers with Leng An. Of course, he needs Leng An now, which is why he's acting this way—it's all about self-interest.
"Do you want to know why I killed someone?" Li Xuanzu looked at the silent girl beside him and knew what she was thinking, so he asked.
Qian Li didn't speak, but her eyes were fixed on him, her questioning intent obvious.
"Humans are just despicable. They're like a paradox. Some people don't have enough to eat during wartime, while others have too much to eat in peacetime. They then blame those who feed them. When war comes, they long for peace; when peace comes, they long for war. That's just how despicable they are." Li Xuanzu had just said some nonsensical things.
"Those people too, they went from wanting to survive because they couldn't get enough to eat, to wanting to eat their fill like ordinary people, and now they're asking me for spirit cores to become psionicists and want to be superior to others. They're just a bunch of scoundrels."
“I also regret killing that girl. At least when I made the move, I heard her screams and I condemned myself in my heart. But I shouldn’t always attribute the problem to myself. On the contrary, I gave that girl a chance. Since she made her choice to die with someone, I will not change my mind because of someone who has no benefit to me.”
“You need to understand the consequences of not eliminating the root of the problem. What if she becomes stronger than me when I don’t kill her now? I don’t want that to happen. My goals are far-reaching, how can I stop because of these trivial matters? If that were the case, I would at most become someone like Leng An, not the person I am today.” Li Xuanzu spoke with a heavy heart.
If you know from the beginning that the seed you plant will be bitter and astringent, will absorb nutrients from the soil, and will have its roots seep into the wall, and that planting it will do you no good, would you choose to continue planting it, or would you choose to dig it up, throw it away, and destroy it? The answer is obvious.
That's true, and Li Xuanzu's actions weren't entirely unreasonable, because you can't keep harping on this matter. Aren't there plenty of villains in the apocalypse? There's plenty of pointless evil. Remember Conway? The one who imprisoned four women.
What he did was merely a microcosm of the "evil" in the entire apocalypse. The "evil" he committed was only to satisfy his own desires, but human desires are limitless. Although it is undeniable that desires drive human development, in the apocalypse, it is most foolish to try to satisfy the desires of others.
"Then, you didn't have to kill them all..." Qian Li understood, but she still couldn't accept the idea of losing her life in the apocalypse because of a few words.
"In the face of desire, even the threat of death will not deter some people. What we need to do is kill all those who threaten our interests. I will put forward a few scenarios in a moment, and you can think about them yourself." Li Xuanzu's tone remained very calm, and he had not been angry with Qian Li.
Qian Li finally stopped arguing and continued to consume her own energy to increase the purity of her energy.
She does this whenever she has time, ever since she learned from Leng An that consuming energy can make her stronger.
She is very obedient and sensible. She won't ask Li Xuanzu if he doesn't want to talk about it, and she is very strong.
It's also...very useful.
