Chapter 348 Human Nature
Simply put, Zhao Ru used to not take sides. She was neither on Lei Jiang's side nor on An Ran's side. She thought that she was guided by God and given unique abilities so that she could save the world, but she found out in the end that she was the one who needed to be saved.
Like An Ran, she was a lamb in the sheepfold, waiting to be slaughtered, so she took refuge with Lei Jiang, flattered Tang Si Luo, tried her best to conceal her true abilities, and confessed her abilities to An Ran. All of this she did was to live well, to live well with her elderly aunt in this turbulent doomsday.
An Ran, Lei Jiang, Luo Feifan, Zhan Lian, and even Zhao Qianru, didn't know what she wanted to do. It was because Zhao Ru saw it too clearly and was so good at hiding herself. She was just wavering between An Ran and Lei Jiang, waiting and observing who would gain the upper hand. Then she would follow the winner.
"But don't you understand human nature? You actually wanted to take the baby away just to control me with Lei Jiang?"
An Ran looked at Zhao Ru with some anger. She was grateful to Zhao Ru, but she was still very angry that Zhao Ru had such thoughts about her.
"No, I understand human nature. I see it more clearly than you do."
Zhao Ru had never reflected on what she had done. She thought for a while and suddenly smiled:
"An Ran, have you ever been to Africa? Have you ever seen those witch children who were abused by the whole village? Their skinny arms were just a layer of skin. You haven't seen it, do you think the end of the world only exists now? When you have the ability and don't have to survive in the cracks like me, have you ever reflected on what you can do for this world?"
"Why should I think so much?" An Ran looked at Zhao Ru sarcastically. "I'm sorry, I live in a peaceful and legal society. I have never been to those backward places. I have the ability, but before I have the ability, I tell you, I crawled out of a sea of blood and corpses, and not alone, but with a newborn child, so I have never thought about what I can do for this 'world'?"
Because this "world" has never done anything for her.
"Yes, so human nature is selfish." Zhao Ru nodded, with a slightly evil smile, looking at An Ran, "I know you won't have such a great idea, you won't, and Lei Jiang won't either, so people like me are forced to cater to you, I flatter you, conform to you, and do things for you, because you have never had good intentions towards the world, so why can't I be an accomplice to the evil?"
"Then if you are so frank now, won't that mean you have failed?"
"I can't help it. Zhan Lian won't let you go. He's hard to control." Zhao Ru smiled, somewhat self-deprecatingly. "Then I'll join your team. By comparison, it's better to join your team than to join Lei Jiang. Lei Jiang is only an earth element!"
In An Ran's team, there are wood elements, gold elements, and Luo Feifan's fire element. With Zhao Ru, they have all the gold, wood, water, and fire. The only thing missing is the earth element, and the gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are complete.
Didn't even the ancient books say that the essence of the world is composed of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth? In comparison, Zhao Ru still felt that An Ran's team was more powerful.
