“The strength of the oceanic tribe is significantly stronger than that of our human race. Just this time, the amphibious oceanic tribe supporting us has overall strength that even surpasses the collective power of the Beijing gathering place.”
“You should understand the terrifying aspect of this gap...”
Wen Yu understood that the amphibious oceanic tribe alone, which had come to assist, possessed strength nearly equal to that of the Beijing gathering place. Therefore, the comparison of overall strength between the human race and the oceanic tribe appeared somewhat alarming!
“To ally with the oceanic tribe, in Tang Haofei's eyes, is a good thing for uniting Earth's forces to fight against the demonic disaster. However, in my eyes, we are entirely the passive party.”
“Do you know how the oceanic tribe came to us?”
Wen Yu shook his head in ignorance.
“At that time, a massive tsunami swept through the Demon City gathering place, causing minimal destruction. It could be seen as a means to indirectly resolve the encirclement of the Demon City gathering place by demonic creatures, but many people still died in the tsunami…”
“In my opinion, this serves as a show of power, a form of semi-coerced alliance.”
“Aligning with the oceanic tribe is essentially inviting a wolf into the house…”
...
“You cannot deny the benefits of allying with the oceanic tribe.”
Wen Yu dryly uttered a statement, participating in “this discussion”...
To be honest, Wen Yu was somewhat unable to keep up with Lin Haifeng's line of thought.
It seemed...
Old Lin wanted to use him to deceive the oceanic tribe...
Perhaps even Tang Haofei...
...
“I certainly do not deny the benefits of allying with the oceanic tribe.”
Lin Haifeng shook his head, responding to Wen Yu’s statement while continuing to express his unilateral opinion.
“Although the intelligence returned by Tang Haofei shows that most of the oceanic tribe have not evolved the ability to survive on land, no one can guarantee that they aren’t deceiving Tang Haofei or will evolve the ability to live on land in the future.”
“Moreover, we humans are well aware—occupying larger land is ingrained in our biological genes!”
Wen Yu found it hard to interject...
“From a short-term perspective, allying with the oceanic tribe indeed has great benefits; at least in the short term, the demonic disaster will not gain much ground on Huaxia’s land. However, my ultimate goal is not merely survival; our ultimate goal is to repel the demonic clan, break free from sovereign control, reclaim lost territories, and restore order!”
“So, what happens when we defeat the demonic clan with the oceanic tribe or even unite with all tribes to defeat the demonic clan and the sovereign? A civil war will erupt on Earth. Given the current strength comparison and potential for warfare, the oceanic tribe will definitely emerge victorious…”
At this point, Lin Haifeng paused.
“I believe that for the human race, it makes no difference whether we perish now or later, whether it is at the hands of the demonic clan or the oceanic tribe…”
...
Perishing at the hands of the demonic clan...
Versus perishing at the hands of the oceanic tribe...
There is no difference...
Wen Yu seriously contemplated the meaning of this statement and after a while, gently nodded...
It was akin to a professional dying by the hands of the demonic clan or by mutated beasts; the person is dead, does it matter where they died or by whose hands they died?
One must admit that Wen Yu agreed with Lin Haifeng's theory...
However...
Agreement aside, when it came to action, Wen Yu was not the kind of reckless youth who would sacrifice himself for the “greater good of the human race” based on just a few words from Lin Haifeng.
“Stop talking about these things. What exactly do you want me to do?”
...
Everyone can talk about reason, but in Wen Yu’s eyes, the so-called principles of righteousness are utterly useless.
Being able to speak but not act, any reasoning is merely empty talk. When it comes to action...
