Chapter 600 - 599: Reactions of the remaining people in the Sun Base 3
"You guys don't have any courage to go outside but have the courage to talk nonsense and take advantage of others just because they hadn't done anything against you guys, even though you guys knew that they're very strong.Oh, I also don't care about that; you guys are just too noisy and spouting a lot of nonsense and don't know how to be grateful, which is irritating, so don't even think of getting down from there until later.
Of course, if you guys wanted to continue saying some nonsense and continue irritating me, I can also send you guys to the underworld earlier. You guys don't need to thank me for lessening your suffering afterwards."
Afterwards, he didn't say anything further to those people below but instead turned to Treyton and the others and said, "You guys are still too soft. I've already told you just before that to deal with the unreasonable, you should take action, as such people wouldn't listen to reason at all."
Treyton and the others probably held back and didn't do anything because they knew that those people in front of them were also victims in the Sun Base.
They were able to deal with other people that were causing them trouble before just fine and acted more tough than how they dealt with malicious people in the beginning, but they knew that the people in front of them were also victims, so they were still trying to explain as best as they could.
However, such people wouldn't really listen if they just treated them gently and didn't punish them at all. Even though those people were victims, it's obvious that those people don't have very good characters to begin with.
The others knew that they should be grateful to Treyton and the others for freeing them from their predicament, but those victims who were hurling complaints and insults didn't have such consciousness to be grateful at all.
From what they had been talking about, they're obviously just opportunists and people who fear the strong who could really harm them.
They were people who were obviously taking the opportunity to vent their previous experiences from strong people like their previous masters onto Treyton and the others, who were obviously strong too but weren't harming them.
Those people couldn't retaliate, complain, or insult those strong people because they knew that they would suffer; but after seeing that Treyton and the others were also strong people but hadn't done anything, they became braver and braver, so their voices also became louder and louder.
They were people who were content with staying as slaves because someone was protecting them from harm from zombies and mutant animals outside, but they're obviously opportunists, as they only wanted someone to protect them while wanting to give the least effort if they weren't forced as slaves. It was obvious from their complaints that they wanted Treyton and the others to provide them protection while also giving them better resources.
They're blaming, complaining, and insulting Treyton and the others obviously because they wanted more and were waiting for Treyton and the others to appease them with such things.
A lot of victims were such kinds of people; that's why Luciel also didn't have any interest in taking action in the Sun Base at all.
Luciel had seen the state of the slaves in the past few days, and by looking at them, Luciel knew that a lot of them were forced to continue such a life, and even if they were unwilling, they still had to continue because they couldn't resist at all.
But Luciel also knew from past experiences that a lot of those victims were also people who also don't have the strength to resist, but their acceptance of their lives was easier than others because they could accept such terms as long as they weren't the ones facing the zombies and other more dangerous things outside.
And they're also obviously selfish because they obviously knew that the so-called masters in the Sun Base had actually been using some of the other slaves as bait whenever they go out, as Zam had included it in their investigation before; but those people still had the mentality that as long as it wasn't them, they could continue living in the Sun Base without facing the zombies outside.
They also had the mentality that even though they were suffering inside the Sun Base, at least they weren't in danger outside because of the zombies and other things.
Of course, Luciel knew that such mentality was probably further strengthened by the deliberate guidance of the leaders of the Sun Base so that the so-called slaves that they had would be more obedient; but those more selfish and cowardly people would be able to accept such guidance easier than other people who still resisted such arrangements in their hearts, even though they were obediently doing what was ordered for them to do.
Those people already had such a mentality, so Luciel wasn't surprised that they had different reactions when Treyton announced that they had dealt with the previous base leaders and that they were free to go wherever they wanted. As they were only passing by and still had a mission to complete, which meant that they wouldn't take care of the people in the Sun Base, which was certainly what those people had hoped for.
They wanted to have another group of people to rely on and protect them from danger while they took it easy, so they were certainly dissatisfied.
He had seen a lot of such victims in the world that he was in before, so he didn't have any interest in taking action against the Sun Base even after seeing the condition of the slaves in the Sun Base.
Their state was indeed pitiful, as the so-called masters in the Sun Base were all despicable; however, he still preferred those that still had the will to resist and were resisting compared to those that were already used to or had accepted their condition, because he knew that those that still had the spirit to resist were people who were worth saving, as they would at least know how to be grateful after helping them out.
