Chapter 68 Not killing him is my biggest concession!

Xu Kangkai's emotions were gradually spiraling out of control!

From a young age, he had always prided himself on being a genius, an elite, a scholar!

He felt superior to others and was unwilling to live a mediocre life.

Therefore, as soon as he seized an opportunity, he would speak at length in front of Ji Yan, because he wanted to gain affirmation and stand out!

He wanted to live a life of luxury; he didn't want to screw bolts in a factory every day, nor did he want to risk his life hunting zombies outside!

Initially, he was quite confident!

He believed that his arguments would surely win Ji Yan over, and he would be treated as a distinguished guest.

But he never expected that Ji Yan's series of rebuttals would completely tear his theories apart, making them utterly worthless, and calling him a 'theorist' was the greatest insult to him.

"A base is a miniature society!" Xu Kangkai exclaimed, gesticulating wildly as he roared, "The people are the cornerstone of this society! As managers, we must treat the people well and allocate social resources fairly to make this system more perfect, do you understand?"

"Old Xu, you should say less!"

"Yes, don't get so agitated!"

Song Qingqing and Meng Xiaoduo quickly tried to dissuade him.

"Shut up!" Xu Kangkai said angrily, "What do you understand? This is a battle of ideologies! You ignorant fools! He can look down on me, but he cannot question my theories and knowledge!"

"Have you seen how hard the people in the residential area live? Many work over ten hours a day, aching all over! They don't even have weekends, while some people leisurely stroll around every day and yet are supported by the people!"

"Have you seen how many women in the factory have to work overtime even during their menstrual periods? Many suffer from dysmenorrhea, their faces pale from pain, yet they dare not rest."

"Do you think this is fair? Is this allocation of social resources reasonable? He is exploiting us, oppressing us! Do you know that people outside call him Ji Bapi?"

"You are also women; don't you know that women are the hope for the continuation of society, and we should treat women preferentially?"

Xu Kangkai became more and more agitated as he spoke!

Song Qingqing and Meng Xiaoduo couldn't help but be moved!

They instinctively felt something was wrong, but his argument seemed to have no flaws.

"Please get it straight!" Ji Yan laughed in anger, "I don't want to oppress or exploit anyone; it is I who took them in and gave them a chance to survive! You can go ask everyone now, whoever doesn't want to be exploited can leave immediately."

"Don't worry! No one outside will exploit you; you can freely enjoy the happy life of the apocalypse, and I guarantee you will never forget it!"

"What time is it now? It's the apocalypse, where even surviving is difficult. You can safely hide in the Shelter, work, and you're still not comfortable enough, right? You don't want to work ten hours a day, right? You still want a reasonable allocation of resources, right?"

"Fine! If you have the guts, leave now and see if anyone follows you! Do you really think the Shelter won't function without you? Do you believe I can recruit a million survivors to move in tomorrow if I start recruiting today? If you don't want to live here, plenty of people do!"

Ji Yan's scolding once again left Xu Kangkai speechless!

He desperately wanted to refute, but he couldn't utter a word.

Because he knew in his heart that Ji Yan was telling the truth.

"Ji Dage, don't be angry!" Song Qingqing softly advised, "Old Xu means well; he has no ill intentions."

"Yes!" Meng Xiaoduo chuckled, "He just saw that many girls in the factory were having a hard time, so he spoke from the heart."

"Hard? Who isn't hard?" Ji Yan snapped impatiently, "Are the people outside risking their lives with zombies every day not hard? Are the soldiers training madly every day not hard? Are those struggling to survive in the ruins not hard?"

"In the apocalypse, men can be used like beasts; can you women be used like men? You bring up something as trivial as dysmenorrhea to me; who are you being delicate for?"

"Go to the mercenary camps, go among the adventurers, go to the scavenger groups, and see how many have lost limbs, yet struggle daily on the brink of death to earn a sliver of hope for survival?"

"Have they ever complained? In combat, even if their limbs are torn off by zombies, or their guts spill out from a ripped belly, they never complain. Instead, they will unhesitatingly bite open a high-explosive grenade and die with the zombies, buying even a second for their comrades!"

"They are the hope of humanity; they are the heroes of the Yan Huang descendants. And you? You come to me to talk about reasonable resource allocation because of dysmenorrhea? Are you ashamed? Is it disgraceful?"

"You want a reasonable allocation of resources, right? Fine, do you want those who risk their lives to support you? Do you mean everyone else deserves to die?"

Ji Yan's torrential scolding completely shattered Xu Kangkai's psychological defenses.

Song Qingqing and Meng Xiaoduo were also filled with shame.

They felt incredibly guilty for having been swayed by Xu Kangkai's words.

"I, I didn't mean that!" Xu Kangkai stammered, "I just wanted everyone to live better!"

"Shut up, I don't have the time or energy to waste words with you anymore!" Ji Yan impatiently waved his hand and said, "You were right just now, it's a battle of ideologies! You've read a lot, and you have your own views. I respect your views, and I won't do anything to you."

"But I also have my own views, and my ideology is not for anyone to criticize. And aren't you sticking to your ideology? Fine, I'll grant you that! Guards!"

"Here!"

Several Guard Team members stood at attention and roared.

"Immediately revoke his status as a Shelter resident!" Ji Yan immediately ordered, "And send someone to take him by car to other Shelters to see what kind of lives people truly live there!"

"Yes!"

The Guard Team soldiers roared in unison, directly standing behind Xu Kangkai and restraining him.

"Wait, wait, what are you trying to do?" Xu Kangkai exclaimed in alarm.

"Ji Dage, Old Xu didn't mean any harm, please let him go!"

"Yes, Mr. Ji, please spare him this one time!"

Song Qingqing and Meng Xiaoduo pleaded anxiously.

But Ji Yan said mercilessly, "Keeping such a person in the Shelter is my oversight. If I find one, I will deal with one. Not killing him is already my biggest concession. He must be expelled. At the same time, he can also take his ideology to other Shelters and experience the cruelty of reality! Take him away!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers acknowledged and directly escorted Xu Kangkai away.
