Everything in this world is subject to natural selection, where only the strong survive. The world is not just a team of the strong; there are also the weak, living at the bottom, struggling, all for the sake of survival. Dirty work, hard work, being beaten, scolded, and scorned—they endure all this hardship, all for the sake of having come into this world, and making sure their lives are lived to the fullest.
It's not easy to live!
The group was helpless in managing the base. The managers weren't at fault; the fault lay with the world, with people's hearts, and with incompetence.
No matter how much you think about it, all you can do is sigh and say, "Throughout history, the capable have always been in power."
"Alright, let's stop talking. Things will work themselves out. Let's not overthink it; carrying too much baggage will only make us tired."
Sui Yi comforted everyone, and the heavy atmosphere dissipated with those words.
"I'll go knock on the door and see if those guys are there." Sui Yi composed herself, walked forward, stretched out her delicate hand, half-clenched it into a fist, and knocked on the tightly closed door with the back of her fingers.
Is anyone there?
I waited for a long time, but no one responded.
"Could it be that he went out on a mission?" He Xingyong also knew that in the base, to have a place, one had to go on missions.
"It's possible." Sui Yi pondered for a moment, feeling somewhat helpless.
"Then let's take a look around this base and see if people's living conditions are as we guessed?" Qu Wanbing seemed quite concerned about this aspect.
“Alright! Captain Zhao, let’s go take a look around first. You go ahead and do your work. We’ll handle anything that comes up.” Sui Yi turned to Zhao Wen and said.
"Alright, be careful. Although this is a base, it's a mixed bag when there are a lot of people here. You guys are all good-looking and your clothes and appearance show no signs of being affected by the apocalypse, so it might arouse the jealousy of some people and cause trouble."
Zhao Wen knew that the base was not safe either, so he gave a reminder.
"Have you forgotten that we're not ordinary people?" Sui Yi said nonchalantly.
Zhao Wen was taken aback. Indeed, there was another big shot here. What might happen was beyond her control, and she was just worrying unnecessarily.
"I'll get back to work now. If your friends return, I won't disturb your get-together tonight. I'll have dinner delivered."
"No need for that. We have our own food, so we don't need your supplies. There are so many people at the base, every little bit helps." Sui Yi waved her hand and walked ahead alongside Luo Jingli, with Qu Wanbing and the others following behind.
Along the way, Suiyi and her companions first strolled around Area C, seeing people with superpowers and ordinary people coming and going. People's behavior varied, and all kinds of human nature were reflected in this small place.
As Sui Yi and her companions were strolling around, they heard a loud crash and the sound of something falling to the ground, followed by a man cursing and a woman's giggling.
The group turned to look at the source of the sound, only to see a young man in his twenties lying on the ground.
Perhaps because he was unhappy with life in the apocalypse, the man's body was tattered and he was listless, lying motionless on the ground.
"Sister Xia..." He Xingyong was about to rush over to help when he saw this, but Sui Yi grabbed his arm quickly.
"Don't go yet, let's see how things go first. Don't forget, this is the end of the world, it's better to avoid trouble."
"But……".
"Today I'll teach you a lesson: it's okay to save someone, but you must observe first and not act impulsively. Remember, sometimes acts of bravery come at a price." Sui Yi looked at the impulsive He Xingyong, her voice filled with seriousness.
She wasn't stopping him from rescuing people, but rather that acting rashly without understanding the situation could cause trouble.
The group stood there watching what would happen next.
A man and a woman came out of the house. The man was of average appearance and a bit older, giving the impression of a street thug. The woman was prettier and looked to be in her early twenties. She leaned against the man as if she had no bones.
The man walked up to the young man, stepped on his stomach, and the man on the ground groaned.
"I told you to be more sensible, but you wouldn't listen. You dog, don't you even take a piss and look in the mirror? How could you possibly be worthy of Xiaoyu? Right, Xiaoyu?" As he spoke, he started touching the woman next to him inappropriately, and even arrogantly kissed the woman while looking at the person on the ground.
"Oh! How annoying!" The woman, instead of being angry at being ambushed like this, responded coquettishly.
"See that? This is the woman you love, and she's still at my feet. Kid, let me advise you: don't take on a job you're not qualified for. You can't protect Xiaoyu, this beauty. She's happiest with me; I can give her anything."
After the man finished speaking, he laughed arrogantly.
"You bastards!" He Xingyong was furious. How could there be such shameless men and women in the world? His fists clenched so tightly that they cracked.
Sui Yi looked at the group and her expression was also not good. This scene had probably shocked them all.
“He Xingyong, if you can’t stand this scene, I can let you go over and help, but the rest of us will show up.” In the end, Suiyi relented.
As soon as the signal was given, He Xingyong couldn't help but rush forward.
He immediately slapped the arrogant man across the face, hitting him right on the bridge of his nose.
The man felt something warm flowing from his nostrils, and when he reached out to wipe it, he found that it was bleeding.
"Fuck you, you dare hit me?" The man was furious after being hit, so he shoved the woman away with such force that she crashed into the door.
"Serves her right!" Lan Yu couldn't stand the woman's antics either! This time, she actually felt quite relieved.
The man clenched his fist and threw a punch at He Xingyong, which He Xingyong easily dodged. However, the man's reaction speed was also good; he quickly turned around and fought with him again.
In their back-and-forth exchanges, their punches landed squarely, and judging from the man's bulging muscles, Sui Yi realized that he was someone who had awakened supernatural powers.
"Sister Xia, should we go and help?" Bei Zhi Qiu's calm face showed a hint of worry, clearly indicating that he knew the difference in strength between the two people entangled.
"Let's not move for now. He Xingyong is a bit impulsive. Let him experience the consequences of his impulsiveness!"
Sui Yichong waved her hand, signaling the others not to act rashly, as everything was going according to her plan.
"Actually, Sister Xia, Xingyong isn't really a person who acts entirely out of loyalty. It's just that this is similar to one of his experiences, so seeing this scene reminds him of unhappy things from the past," Lan Yu explained to Suiyi hesitantly after considering her words.
There's still a story and a relationship, but unfortunately, there's no wine.
"Alright! They've fought enough, it's time for us parents to step in!" Sui Yi saw that both of them were injured, and her gossip instincts were burning, so she spoke up.
Sui Yi swung her long robe exaggeratedly and strode confidently toward the two locked in a fierce fight. A large group followed behind, making her look like a gangster.
