I, Rick, the strongest human

……

After walking a little inside for about 1 minute, a huge boulder appeared in front of it, blocking the way.

Of course, a stone of this magnitude is trivial to Rick, but he did not choose to destroy it directly. Instead, he lifted a stone near the left and moved it aside, and then dug in the soil below it. Quick, a small dark brown button appeared inside.

Pressing down there, the boulder moved sideways as if it had been manipulated.

Seeing this scene, Rick didn't rush in. Instead, he first pushed back the soil next to him, and then he stepped on the ground under his feet with different strengths, and moved the stone back before he pulled it back. Hubby walked in.

If human beings want to survive in this world, they must survive humblely like ants. Any sliver of caution is not a fault, and any sliver of carelessness may lead to the complete extinction of human beings.

Shaking his head, shaking off some bad memories in his mind, Rick continued to walk forward.

However, before taking a few steps, he stopped.

"This is……"

Not far away, there was a vaguely noisy voice. After hearing the content of the conversation, Rick's face couldn't help but change.

After realizing that there was no one else around, Rick didn't hesitate any longer, took Hubie's little hand and rushed towards the direction of the sound.

"Cron!"

Rick first pulled Shubi and ran to Chroni at a speed that normal people could understand.

"what happened?"

Then, he asked Chroni in front of him.

"...Someone is making trouble."

Without rushing to ask the identity of the girl next to Rick, Chloe hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the young man in his twenties in the middle of the crowd and said.

"make trouble?"

Rick frowned slightly. It had been many years, and he remembered that the last time someone made trouble was when Crone had just succeeded him as the leader, and since then, no one has caused trouble again.

"Yes...he was encountered by us on the road, because his gathering place was destroyed, so he took refuge in us."

Kelong nodded, and briefly introduced the situation to Rick.

"Because the food in the gathering place is seriously insufficient, according to the usual practice, it should be given priority to expedition fighters, followed by young men and women, then children, and finally the elderly."

"He joined with an old man in his 50s ... and he was also an old man with a broken arm and both feet."

According to the regulations, this kind of person who can't bring any help to the gathering place can basically give up his life when there is a serious shortage of food.

They were kind enough to not directly eat the babies born like some tribes.

...but the young man didn't think so.

"Because he couldn't accept our arrangement, he stole other people's food after he wanted to make trouble at the beginning and was suppressed. After he was discovered, he was severely beaten..."

"Then today, after his father, the old man he brought with him, was starved to death, he robbed several women and children of food, and smashed things in several houses, In the end, it burned down—”

"Although the stop was timely, three houses were burned down, and there were still a lot of daily necessities..."

At this time, the young man on the field was pressed to the ground with one hand, but he didn't show any repentance, but vented his dissatisfaction.

"That's right! I stole it, smashed it, burned it, so what!"

"You guys understand too! Why, why I don't have anything—!"

Chapter 13 The only 【Ghost】

"I see……"

Rick closed his eyes, then slowly opened them.

In the eyes, a middle-aged man with a firm face, a child with his eyes covered, a woman with a little fear and bewilderment on his face, and a silent old man...

Seeing this scene, Rick sighed slightly in his heart.

This is not his problem alone.

Emotion is a very contagious thing. In an already desperate environment, if one person falls into despair, more and more people will follow in despair.

Just like the world in Danganronpa, it was just a group of students at first, and then it spread to each family, and then it was friends, neighbors, colleagues living around them... and then to large groups, the whole society There is an atmosphere of despair, and the system and morality are also on the verge of being broken...

Originally there were more than 200 people here, among them a group of people had experienced the incident three years ago.

This group of people was also the first to follow him and Ke Long. They were mainly aged between 15 and 35 years old, and the gender was almost evenly divided between men and women.

The rest are mostly absorbed during the journey. Among them are men and women, old people and children, who are mainly responsible for logistics work, but their willpower is also relatively weak, and they are more likely to be caught by such people. shaken by emotion.

If this problem is not resolved, once despair spreads among the crowd, it will have very serious consequences.

...Damn it!

Rick glanced at the detained young man indifferently, no matter what, this man must be dealt with.

For the stability of a tribe, sacrificing a person is very worthwhile.

After gesturing to the crowd, telling them to disperse to the side, Rick walked towards the young man.

"Let him go."

"Yes."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man next to him nodded, stared at the young man viciously, and then stepped aside.

"Are you the leader here? Ha... Anyway, I have nothing left. If you want to kill or cut, I will take care of you!"

Seeing Rick approaching, the young man closed his eyes, as if letting himself be dealt with.

"You boy, are you still human! Are you still a man!"

Before Rick made a sound, the middle-aged man became angry when he saw the young man's look like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.

"Our expeditionary force is fighting to the death outside, and people are sacrificing every day, but we have never frowned. If we humans want to survive in this world, we must unite and fight against the enemy together... instead of Selfish, scum like you!"

The middle-aged man looked plausible, but the young man who heard his words showed a very surprised expression.

"Ha, hahahaha... Still an expeditionary army? You can't even get any food back, so this is worthy of being called an expeditionary army?"

As if hearing some joke, the young man sat on the ground, but laughed out loud.

"What kind of shit is solidarity... Do you think it will work? No! It's useless—"

"We can survive until now, not because of the bullshit unity you said! It's just because luck is good enough, and it's just because those monsters are not interested in us..."

"You, you guys still treat those monsters as enemies...? Ha, ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha..."

Even the tears came out of laughter, but the young man's mouth didn't stop.

"Just because of you? Just because of you?? Just because you are worthy of being the... enemies of those monsters?"

He pointed at the middle-aged man, pointed at everyone around him, and said mockingly.

"The only enemies of those monsters are monsters! That's right! Only monsters can be enemies of monsters—"

"What are we human beings? Heh—what are we?! Just like ants on the side of the road, step on when you are in a good mood, and step on a nest when you are in a bad mood. No matter what kind of struggle, it is meaningless! "

"What selfishness... I just want my father to live! I just want me to live... I just want to live... What's wrong with that! Ah!"

"I obviously just...want to live..."

"It's not me...it's the world—"

The young man fell to his knees on the ground, the tears on his face had soaked his clothes, but he didn't seem to notice it.

"Kill me...Kill me! Kill me!!!...It's pointless anyway, I've had enough—"

"This crimson, hopeless world..."

"..."

Rick just watched the young man's cries calmly, and the people around him were more or less infected by him, and even the expression on the middle-aged man's face became a little hesitant.

Only Rick still didn't show any expression, his face seemed to be dead, just looking at the young man calmly.

"Are you finished?"

"Then stand up."

There was no anger or sympathy, just such a voice without a trace of emotion reached the young man's ears.

The young man raised his head and looked at Rick.

... Just like the voice I heard, there was no emotion in those eyes.

Like a machine, looking at himself coldly and calmly.

"Not reconciled, right?"

As if anticipating the young man's reaction, Rick continued talking without pausing.

But instead of facing the young man, he turned around and said to the crowd.

"You also think that this world is wrong."

"..."

The crowd fell into silence, and no one made a sound.

"Yes, the world is wrong—but so what?!"

"Pray for those guys to end this war as soon as possible? Pray for those enemies who destroyed their hometown and killed their relatives—"

"You, do you think this is useful—?"

"..."

Rick pointed at all the people present, and those he pointed at involuntarily clenched their fists and remained silent.

"It's almost time to admit it... Yes, this world is wrong! This world..."

"Already, there is no hope..."

Faced with this [fact] that they had already noticed but were still unwilling to admit, everyone present lowered their heads.

Just when they were in various painful struggles, Rick spoke again.

"Everyone answer me, why bow your head?

Repeat, why bow your head?

We are weak!

As it is now, so it was in the past!

Yes, nothing has changed!

admit it

We are the weakest race!

Because we are born with nothing

so you can control everything

The weakest race!

It doesn't matter if you are weak!

everyone is weak

That's why we support each other

help each other to survive

i stress again

we are weak

We swear to live as the weak

fight like the underdog

Then destroy the strong in the way of the weak! "

Then, Rick stretched out his hand to the young man kneeling on the ground.

"stand up!"

"There's nothing to be afraid of, and nothing to be ashamed of."
