Chapter 427 Apologies Are Useless
Those survivors were very unconvinced, but the government was currently their hope, so they had no choice but to swallow their anger. At the same time, they also blamed Lu Xingtang and others for being stingy.
Of course, Lu Xingtang and the others knew about the survivors in the entire base. Not all of them were ungrateful, but they just didn't want to be taken advantage of. If they hadn't promised the President, they would have nowhere else to go and would have really quit.
Lu Xingtang knew that the survivors had returned in disgrace, so he just sneered, said nothing, and did not ask any questions, completely caring about the survivors' life or death.
When the survivors saw Lu Xingtang's attitude, they all became anxious, especially those who stayed in the base waiting for news. They did not have enough supplies to pay the rent for the base, and they had nothing in their pockets.
So everyone gathered together to discuss a perfect solution. "It's not that there isn't a solution. We should apologize to the base commander and his men, a sincere apology. As long as our sincerity is strong enough, the base commander won't ignore our lives. But before we apologize, we must understand one thing: why are the base commander and his men angry?"
Why were the base commander and the others angry? Everyone was confused and couldn't figure it out.
The smart person understood immediately and said with a dark face: "The reason why the base commander and the others are angry is so obvious, how can you not see it? They are blaming us for crossing the river and destroying the bridge! Since the establishment of Lancheng Base, they have been taking in survivors and letting everyone join in the construction of the base. Later, they were allocated houses and arranged for jobs. Every household can earn points and get supplies just by working! Even if you don’t have points, you can still credit the base with points and return them when you earn them!
As natural disasters ravaged us one after another, the base never gave up on us. They constantly comforted and cared for us, and distributed various supplies to us, all in order to protect our lives and prevent us from dying from natural disasters. Even when a fire broke out, everyone went to put out the fire, and everyone carried ice and Huoxiang Zhengqi water with them, for fear that we would suffer from heatstroke or die from heatstroke.
Besides these things, there are so many more. We are all human beings. The base commander and his men truly dedicated themselves to us survivors, risking their lives to keep us alive! But what about us? After the apocalypse, did anyone thank the base commander and his men for their efforts? Did anyone, amidst the cheers, remember their existence and their sacrifices for us? No one! Not a single one!
GJ is rebuilding their homeland, and it doesn't matter if the Lancheng base isn't rebuilt. Yet, you're still trying to morally blackmail Lu Xingtang and the others into continuing to work for us so we can reap the benefits. Who wouldn't be chilled by our attitude? So, if we want to apologize, we must find the cause. Please carefully consider the reasons and think about what you've done!
If you realize your mistakes, please go back and think about the wording. How can you apologize to satisfy Lu Xingtang and others so that they can help us apply for food from the government and keep us alive? " Although they apologized and asked Lu Xingtang and others to help with the work, it was much better for Lu Xingtang and others to come forward than for them to do it themselves.
At least the government will give face to Lu Xingtang and others, and not to these incompetent and selfish survivors.
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this person's words, and then began to whisper, "Didn't we thank Captain Lu and his men for their years of protection? Didn't I really say that?"
"I don't think I've ever said that!"
"I remember that after the base commander announced the end of the natural disaster, he directly announced that the Lancheng base would not be rebuilt. At that time, no one supported the base commander and his team. Instead, they directly asked the base commander and his team to rebuild the Lancheng base and continue to protect us!"
"No wonder the base commander and his men are angry and unwilling to care about our lives. It turns out that we are indeed ungrateful and have broken our promise!"
At this moment, everyone was thinking about their own mistakes. Perhaps the pressure of reality forced them to bow their heads. But no matter what the survivors thought, Lu Xingtang and the others had decided not to care about the life or death of these survivors, and they could do whatever they wanted.
The next morning, Lu Xingtang and his colleagues got up and prepared to cooperate with the government to transfer the materials from the base to rebuild their homes, such as vehicles, airplanes, gasoline and aircraft fuel, and other hardware supplies.
As a result, before the government arrived at the Lancheng base, the survivors surrounded them: "We're sorry, base commander, it's all our fault. We already know we were wrong. Please forgive our ignorance and stupidity, our cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness, our selfishness and inhumanity. It's all because we have no gratitude that you are disappointed in us! We don't dare to ask for your forgiveness, but please, considering that we are sincerely apologizing, don't abandon all the survivors of the Lancheng base, and take us with you to rebuild our homes!" Find survival supplies for them!
The moment Lu Xingtang saw the survivors surrounding them, he knew what they were up to and said directly, "I won't forgive you, and neither will our management! None of us has wronged any of you survivors. We've always done our best. What happened has happened. We won't forgive you just because you apologize, and we won't continue to help you! The apocalypse is over, and your lives are no longer in danger. You can fend for yourself and survive! So, don't think about putting all your energy on us. If you have that time, you might as well think about what to do next."
Lu Xingtang's ruthless answer made everyone very disappointed, but they were not discouraged and kept playing the emotional card, hoping that Lu Xingtang would accept them again.
Unfortunately, they were wrong and never really understood Lu Xingtang. She was a cold-blooded person and would not forgive them just because of their few words.
The survivors were helpless, and at this time the government arrived. When they saw the survivors surrounding Lu Xingtang and his group, and after learning the whole story, they looked at the survivors coldly and said, "Instead of pestering Lu Xingtang and his group, why not elect a capable person to lead you through the period of rebuilding your home? As long as your demands are legitimate and reasonable, the government will help you!"
The government staff also spoke up for Lu Xingtang and the others. Although they gave a suggestion and had suitable candidates in mind, they still felt that Lu Xingtang and the others were more reliable and stable. However, they did not dare to go against the government, so they stopped thinking about letting Lu Xingtang and the others continue to serve them, and once again sincerely apologized to Lu Xingtang and the others, hoping that they would forgive them this time. No matter what happens in the future, they hope that Lu Xingtang and the others will be fine.
