Chapter 526: This Is Their Justice |
Chu Che's idea was to get along fairly with this Shepherd Convoy.
In his view, this convoy was strong enough, with a total of two Sequence 4 superhumans.
If the Fair Convoy went head-to-head with them, they might not necessarily gain much of an advantage.
Of course, even though the Fair Convoy also had two Sequence 4 superhumans, Chu Che had no intention of getting into a conflict with them.
The number of humans had already dwindled to an extreme limit.
Since leaving the Oasis, aside from encountering a broken Doomsday Convoy in the Sea of Trees, the Fair Convoy hadn't run into anyone else besides their own group.
Chu Che didn't want humans to kill each other from within.
Of course, Chu Che had seen the brutality of this convoy.
The corpses hanging from the horns of those three giant oxen showed that this convoy might be even more vicious than he had imagined.
Chu Che chose to turn a blind eye.
He wasn't the captain of the Shepherd Convoy.
He couldn't dictate how the Shepherd Convoy should act.
In the face of the big picture, these were all minor flaws.
What Chu Che saw was the fate of all humanity.
Such a powerful convoy couldn't be wasted here.
Pointless casualties couldn't be allowed.
So, Chu Che was firmly opposed to Chen Ye's greed.
This was Chu Che's perspective, and this was his justice!
Now, from Chen Ye's standpoint.
This was a very wealthy convoy.
Look at all those livestock in the convoy.
And those big and small bundles tied to the rooftops.
And those three Wondrous artifacts on that woman.
Everything screamed how rich this convoy was.
As long as he could swallow this convoy, the Fair Convoy would be well-off for a long time to come.
And on top of that, they wouldn't have to go out of their way to find suitable resource collection points.
The convoy would also be much safer.
If it were just a wealthy convoy, Chen Ye would only be envious at most, and the greed that arose in his heart could still be suppressed.
After all, under the prolonged influence of others, Chen Ye had become much better!
At least, Chen Ye believed he had already changed a lot.
Xu Lina had noticed these changes.
That was why she had said what she did earlier.
Now, whenever Chen Ye did something, he would already consider the convoy and the thoughts of his other companions.
But when Chen Ye saw the corpses on the horns of those three giant oxen,
And the things those sheep were doing around the corpses…
Chen Ye asked himself, even at his worst, he could never do something like that.
And the ordinary people in that convoy, the way they treated that seductive woman and her group, it was like the dregs of feudal society.
That convoy seemed to have even harsher and more brutal rules than the Fair Convoy.
In comparison, the Fair Convoy was more deserving of representing justice.
At least Chen Ye and the others didn't bully the ordinary people in the convoy, and they could even maintain most of the fairness within the convoy.
Although this fairness was also quite hypocritical.
But compared to other convoys, it was practically heaven.
At least, the superhumans of the Fair Convoy had never killed an ordinary person without any reason.
Nor would they torture an ordinary person to death like that.
At least Chen Ye and the others still knew they were human!
But this Shepherd Convoy across from them…
This convoy called the Shepherd had been branded with the mark of "bad people" in Chen Ye's heart.
Therefore, these reasons all became the endorsement for Chen Ye wanting to swallow this convoy.
Chen Ye felt that everything he did was just.
For the future of the Fair Convoy.
And to rescue the poor souls in the Shepherd Convoy.
Justice was the banner Chen Ye waved!
It was also the rationalization he found for his actions.
This was Chen Ye's justice!
And it was fundamentally different from Chu Che's justice!
As for whether the few people in the convoy could take on the two Sequence 4 superhumans on the other side,
Chen Ye didn't think that with his Sequence 3 Blood Moon Lord strength alone, he couldn't beat that seductive woman on the other side.
And there was also that little girl, Xixi.
She was a Sword Immortal Sequence user…
If we were to be strict, this girl was already at the peak of Sequence 3 Sword Immortal, just a hair's breadth away from Sequence 4.
Maybe in the next second, this girl could break through to Sequence 4.
Any Sequence with the character "Immortal" in its name was a very dominant Sequence.
According to Chu Che, the little girl's Sword Immortal Sequence was a complete Sequence, the kind that could go all the way to the end.
Therefore, Chen Ye didn't think the Fair Convoy was weaker than the other side.
The rule that a Sequence 3 could never be a match for a Sequence 4,
That only applied to ordinary Sequences.
At least, that's what Chen Ye believed.
He had considerable confidence in the Blood Moon Lord and Sword Immortal Sequences.
The two had a fundamental disagreement on how to deal with the Shepherd Convoy.
However, Chen Ye didn't insist on going against Chu Che either.
Neither of them argued in front of the other team members or other convoys.
This could be considered their mutual understanding.
Both knew the other had a different opinion.
But they could still respect each other's thoughts.
This might be Chen Ye's transformation.
If it had been a year ago, Chen Ye wouldn't have even considered Chu Che's ideas.
He would have just allied with Iron Lion, Sun Xixi, Ding Dong, and the others, and done the deed first before saying anything.
Just like when they had dealt with Mo Huairen.
…
On the third floor, the situation with the Shepherd Convoy was similar to Chen Ye's group.
Survivors from the Shepherd Convoy helped them light the bonfire.
Without them having to do it themselves, some survivors had already set up their tents.
"Sir, the tent is ready!"
A man who was still relatively cleanly dressed said, bowing to them.
Behind him, there were also several survivors bowing.
It was like the servants in the courtyards of nobles from the last century.
Compared to the casualness of the Fair Convoy,
It was obvious that the Shepherd Convoy had very strict rules.
In the Fair Convoy, although the survivors were also afraid of Chen Ye and the others, they were at least very respectful.
And towards Iron Lion, Gong Yong, and the others,
The survivors of the Fair Convoy even dared to get close, sometimes even sidling up to exchange a few casual words.
But in the Shepherd Convoy, there was an extraordinary boundary between superhumans and ordinary people.
Jiang Rou waved her hand impatiently.
The man quickly bent over and retreated.
The people behind him also hurriedly backed away, even trying not to make any noise as they left.
By the bonfire,
Captain Yang Han was already drunk out of his mind, his face flushed bright red, and his eyes were a bit hazy.
"Captain, Captain…"
Jiang Rou used her long legs, clad in crystal high heels, to nudge the captain, who was already seven or eight parts drunk.
Yang Han lifted his head, his consciousness clearly already wandering beyond the heavens.
"Ah?~~~"
Jiang Rou said in a bad temper, "What did you just say to that punk over there?"
"Say what? I didn't say anything."
"This kid… hahaha… he's not old, but he's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve!"
"He wanted to pry information out of us!"
"So what did you say?"
Jiang Rou frowned.
"Hahaha… you think I'm an idiot? I told him everything I could say!"
"As for what I couldn't say…"
When he got to the second half of the sentence, Yang Han was obviously already a bit dazed.
Jiang Rou felt relieved.
Although this captain of their convoy was a bit unreliable, he wasn't stupid.
He probably only said some surface-level information.
It should be fine.
Just as Jiang Rou was putting her mind at ease,
Yang Han added, still groggy, "I… I can't remember!"
Jiang Rou's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo…"
Captain Yang Han had already started snoring.
"Sister Rou!"
The young medic beside her called out weakly,
Seeming to be afraid that the furious Sister Rou would give the captain a good beating.
This kind of thing had happened in their convoy before.
