"You've gone crazy!" Mo Ye exclaimed anxiously, following closely behind Ye Zhongming.
This man actually chose to go to the supermarket at such a time!
Mo Ye wasn't a fool; she quickly guessed Ye Zhongming's purpose was to get to that roulette in the supermarket. Although she didn't know exactly what it was, she suspected it had something to do with some miraculous power.
But no matter how miraculous something was, one still needed a life to claim it! What was happening now? Zombies were everywhere; although many were drawn away by the survivors from the armed department, there were still some scattered along the way, and there were quite a few surrounding the supermarket.
Wanting to get into the supermarket undoubtedly meant facing hundreds of zombies. What was wrong with this usually calm man?
"People die for wealth, birds die for food," Ye Zhongming replied nonchalantly, his pace not slowing down.
"Your goal is to have these kids attract the zombies and create an opportunity for you to enter the supermarket, isn't it?!" Teacher Park gritted her teeth, filled with resentment.
"You’re still following me? I thought you would go back to being a good Samaritan," Ye Zhongming sneered, clearly dissatisfied with the beautiful teacher.
"You don't speak, so no one thinks you're mute," Liang Chuyin chimed in, already annoyed with Teacher Park. Because of this woman, several of them had been in peril twice already. The current situation clearly indicated that Ye Zhongming was the biggest support; if they didn't cling onto him quickly and continued to nitpick, how did you even graduate from university? How could your emotional intelligence be this low?
Ye Zhongming swiftly took down two zombies, cleanly digging out the magic crystals, then hid behind a tree, waiting for the dozens of moving zombies in front to leave.
"Ye Zhongming is not that kind of person," Mo Ye tugged at Teacher Park's sleeve, fearing she would ruin the atmosphere, and kindly explained.
"No, I am," Ye Zhongming suddenly turned around and looked at the three women, saying, "Don't think of me as a good person. When there are benefits in front of me, I will unhesitatingly abandon you."
Looking at the three women who were dumbfounded, Ye Zhongming spoke in a firm tone, "You think I'm terrible, right? Let me tell you, reality is this cruel. The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, is now more direct and naked! If you can't adapt, then go die!"
"Don't use the previous moral standards to measure the present; that will only make you die faster, without any benefit. You need to think about problems in a different way."
As he spoke, Ye Zhongming pointed at Teacher Park, who looked indignant: "For example, you. When you question me, everything starts from your perspective, everything is based on your accustomed values. But do you think that's right? What obligation do I have to help you and your group of students?! They are neither my subordinates nor my brothers, and you are not my woman. What reason do I have to help you?! Utilize? What is there to utilize from a bunch of worthless people who have numbers and weapons but are suppressed by just three or four people? Maybe their escape gives me a chance to achieve my goals, but could I not do it without them? It's just a different method."
"This beautiful teacher from the Korean ethnicity, don’t take yourself too seriously. The apocalypse has just begun. After a few days, when survival becomes a pressing issue, perhaps the you who currently feels righteous and like an incarnation of the goddess of justice will drop your pants and present yourself to those you despise, just for a piece of moldy bread!"
"Don’t pretend to be noble; it makes me feel nauseous!"
Ye Zhongming’s words struck heavily in the hearts of the three women. Years later, when Liang Chuyin recalled when she truly began to adapt to the apocalypse, she would remember these words from this man. Mo Ye later had to admit that it was this man who taught her how to survive in the apocalypse.
