Kingdom of Corrosion

Lin Wu said, "They must be convinced by a strong leader, and strong leaders cannot make wrong decisions."

"Exactly," Maya replied. "Strong leaders making the wrong decision to attack us ultimately led to the downfall of Angel. However, if you put yourself in their shoes, you will realize that a group of people struggling to survive would not pass up the chance to prey on the two big fat sheep we represent. Even just getting an assault rifle from looting corpses would be a huge victory for them."

Maya continued, "The Cloud Dream tribe doesn’t worry about food or clothing but lacks spiritual fulfillment. They’re not interested in the resources we have and didn’t plan on a direct confrontation with us. Sky Base has electricity, their base’s capabilities are definitely not ordinary, and their material conditions are quite good. Even on the brink of death, they still expressed goodwill toward us."

Lin Wu asked, "The poor grow cunning, while the rich grow a conscience?"

"No, that’s not what I mean. I’m talking about the environment, not the people," Maya said. "People are all the same; it’s just their environment that causes them to make different choices when facing various situations."

Lin Wu said, "I always feel you think too much."

"Oh? Like what?"

Lin Wu said, "I have a feeling that you’re worried about Shadow."
