Chapter 287 New Venue
After discussing official matters, they also brought up Lu Ruiming’s situation.
Lu Jianguo was quite surprised that Lu Ruiming had gone mad, "Is his mental endurance really that weak?"
He added, "Actually, many people have psychological issues post-apocalypse. Perhaps it wasn’t just that one thing; it was just that his nerves were too tightly wound at the time, and they just snapped."
Gu Pan agreed with Lu Jianguo’s view. It wasn’t necessarily one thing that had pushed someone like Ruiming over the edge — it was his habitual wrongdoings and his bullying ways. Once he found out he wasn’t actually a child of the Lu Family, he also feared retaliation; the more evil a person, the more fear they have in their hearts.
She said, "Indeed, Huang Suzhen’s death was just the last straw that broke the camel’s back."
Lu Jianguo sighed, "In these years, he really hasn’t done anything worthwhile. During the apocalypse, he and his mother occupied a spot in the base. This is probably karma."
People weren’t too concerned about their affairs; the greater sentiment was probably that the apocalypse had caused many to have psychological problems.
Afterwards, having heard everything, Lu Jianguo agreed to give Zhang Huishu a pass so that she could go to the main base to find Lu Ruiming. As for whether they could survive there, that was their own business and would no longer involve anyone else.
After talking for a while, Lu Jianguo insisted on washing the dishes. Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng couldn’t stop him, so they joined him, chatting while tidying up the kitchen.
Returning to the living room, Lu Jianguo checked the time, "It’s getting late. Your home has electricity, hurry and invite the neighbors over to spend some time, so as not to waste resources. I’ll stay back at my unit; it saves trouble and there’s no point in going home to darkness."
