Morals Had Taken A Nosedive

"There isn't any benefit for me to save weak people." Contrary to Lilian Mo's pleasant appearance, her words were harsh and sharp like a knife.

Before Feng Ran could reply, Yang Cui rushed forward and said in anger, "What benefit? You, girl! We are asking you to save people. What other benefit are you looking for doing a good deed and helping citizens in need? Don't you have any morals or virtues left? Young children like you are truly the disgrace of society! Your parents must be so disappointed to have an immoral child like you!"

"I wouldn't know what they think since they're dead." Lilian Mo replied with nonchalance as if she was sharing the weather news.

Yang Cui was utterly enraged by Lilian Mo's attitude. "You heartless girl! Unfilial child! You even curse your own parents and would abandon the elderly! Don't you know the saying, respect the old and cherish the young?! Shameless!" Yang Cui was getting more and more agitated the more Lilian Mo remained cold and indifferent.

"Yes, I'm a heartless girl. Do you want to be metal rod no.2?" Lilian Mo flashed in front of Yang Cui with a sinister smile on her face. Her fingers twitched with the urge to strangle someone's neck.

Feng Ran cursed Yang Cui in her mind. This old woman was destroying any of her chances to tag along with Lilian Mo. She would not allow her golden thigh to escape her again.

"Little sister, don't be mad. Auntie was just muddleheaded. The stress of the situation has gotten on her head. Please don't take it personally." Feng Ran said softly, sweetening her voice as if it was honey.

Lilian Mo stared at Feng Ran. "Ah, Auntie. I told you, I'm an only child."

Feng Ran was embarrassed. This hateful girl was too much! In what way was she similar to this old woman filled with ugly wrinkles? She was only 25 and at the prime of her youth!

"Eh. If you want to come with me, go ahead. But I won't guarantee your safety."

Humans were selfish. Lilian Mo was not surprised when she saw the look of contemplation on Feng Ran's eyes.

"Little sister... why don't you also bring the others along?"

Lilian Mo seriously considered telling Feng Ran that she was dumb. Did she not understand human language?

"Auntie, I said you can come along. I never said anything about them."

"But are you really going to leave them?" Feng Ran's voice was very gentle, like a feather sweeping across one's heart. Although she was only pretending, she needed to put up a façade in order to catch Lilian Mo off guard and to fully control her using kind words and affection.

"Auntie, you either come with me or not. Your choice." Lilian Mo gently pushed Yang Cui away. The middle aged woman had turned pale when Lilian Mo displayed a nasty smile towards her. It was a smile that made one's heart beat faster.

Smiling darkly, Lilian Mo said, "Scram."

"Ahhhhhhh!" Yang Cui fell on the ground with shock while screaming.

It was only a young girl yet why was she so afraid of this girl? Oh, right. This was also the same girl that had bent a metal rod with her bare hands. Yang Cui's face lost all her color as she saw the u-shaped metal rod lying beside her. Fearing that she might really suffer the same fate, she quickly backed away, running and hiding behind the survivors.

Lilian Mo snorted. She was still restrained. She had done nothing overly serious just yet. This was good since she could still control her impulses.

If it were any different and Yang Cui kept on pushing her, Lilian Mo would have really folded the woman in half just like the metal rod.

These people weren't her team and thus, she has no reservations of showing how 'heartless' and 'immoral' she was.

Lilian Mo had avoided humans for a good reason and chose to ignore them since she thought it was for their own good. It was fine if they had messed with other people, but messing with Lilian Mo who was a reborn person after experiencing the apocalypse for almost seven years in her past life, the sight of greedy humans just made her feel disgusted as if she was looking at a bunch of animals who only knew how to take and prey on others without giving back.

They acted on their instincts to survive so morals had taken a nosedive.

Kindness was indeed a luxury.
