Chapter 603
Wu Meng looked around at everyone. He sighed and said deeply, “Everyone, I’m not a qualified leader p>
“These days, Shuyuan has been handling all the affairs of the shelter p>
“It is she who managed the shelter and made the Martial King Pavilion one of the three main shelters p>
“As for me, I’m just a reckless brute. I only know how to fight and kill p>
“And, I only enjoy fighting p>
“To be honest, Liang Yuan’s strength makes me feel hopeless. He wants the Martial King Pavilion, and although I feel sad, I’m also a bit happy p>
“He’s not a bad person. I can see that the people around him genuinely support him p>
“Such a person won’t be too bad p>
“He’s different from Tu Long, Li Yuefeng, and Tian Wei. He truly wants to build a shelter p>
“I feel at ease with you following him p>
“Now, I should live for myself. I want to go on an adventure, to find the military base. Only there can I get more comprehensive guidance and explore my superpower potential p>
“The path of life is not just about food and drink. I hope that someday, I can stand at the end of the evolution road!” ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ.net
“By that time, I’ll fight Liang Yuan again, and I definitely won’t lose then p>
As he said this, a glint appeared in his eyes, his fighting spirit extremely high.
Obviously, his previous defeat to Liang Yuan at the Gouwu Pavilion did not completely crush him.
His will to fight remains as fierce as a flame.
Without the shelter relying on his protection, he would only become braver and more diligent!
Everyone opened their mouths but didn’t know what to say.
Did they truly not want Wu Meng to leave?
Not entirely. Perhaps they needed someone with strong combat power like Wu Meng around, they needed that sense of security.
Of course, human nature is unpredictable. Everyone has a selfish side.
But they must also feel reluctant to lose Wu Meng.
Human emotions are complicated and hard to define.
Just like Zhuang Shuyuan, did she love Wu Meng deeply?
Of course not.
A woman like her, what kind of people hasn’t she seen? What kind of emotions hasn’t she heard?
Her understanding of human nature far surpasses that of Wu Meng and the others.
Since the beginning of the apocalypse, she committed herself to Wu Meng, making the most valuable investment.
Wu Meng did not disappoint her. He protected her all the way, and she relied on Wu Meng’s strength to establish the shelter.
However, Wu Meng is not an interesting person, even considered insensitive.
Besides researching superpowers, exploring potential, and practicing martial arts, he hardly cared about anything else.
In this scenario, it’s impossible for Shuyuan to love Wu Meng deeply.
She simply had no better choice.
At this moment, Wu Meng decided to leave. Her feelings were complicated.
Unwillingness more than reluctance.
Because she knows that once Wu Meng leaves, her position as the leader of the Martial King Pavilion would be essentially just in name.
No one would listen to a woman with little combat power.
This is the apocalyptic flood world. Power is everything.
All her talents, whether it’s managing the shelter or understanding human nature, need to be based on this foundation to be enacted.
With Wu Meng leaving, everything she has would be like a castle in the air, collapsing instantly.
So she is unwilling to let Wu Meng leave.
With a pleading look in her eyes, Zhuang Shuyuan said, “Brother Meng, don’t go. We all need you, I need you p>
Wu Meng looked at Zhuang Shuyuan, shook his head slightly, and said deeply, “Shuyuan, they don’t understand, but don’t you understand p>
“If I don’t leave, I’ll have to submit to Liang Yuan p>
“If that happens, I’ll never surpass him in my lifetime p>
Zhuang Shuyuan pleaded, “Brother Meng, submitting to him is submitting to him. What does it have to do with exploring your potential and reaching the pinnacle of the evolution path p>
“If you go to the military base, won’t there be anyone stronger than you, suppressing you p>
Wu Meng shook his head, “You don’t understand. Only after truly fighting Liang Yuan will you know how terrifying he is p>
“I don’t believe there will be someone stronger than him at the military base p>
“If there is, that person must be me p>
After speaking, he pushed Zhuang Shuyuan away and said, “That’s it, Shuyuan. You’re right, this is the path I chose. I shouldn’t force you to come with me p>
“Since you choose to stay, then stay. This time I’m going to Guangfu Military Base, the road will surely be fraught with danger, I can’t be sure myself, bringing you would indeed be inconvenient p>
“You stay, and I’ll be at ease p>
“Teacher Li, and everyone, I’m leaving. I hope you all can remain united and friendly in the future, I entrust Shuyuan to you p>
Everyone’s expressions were complicated, some wanted to speak to make him stay.
However, Wu Meng resolutely turned around and walked into the storm.
With a few leaps, he quickly disappeared into the forest.
Everyone gazed at his disappearing figure, their expressions all showing a look of loneliness.
Yuan Rui couldn’t help but ask, “Sister Zhuang, what should we do next p>
Cheng Zhanpeng said deeply, “If we had known this, we shouldn’t have accepted Tu Long’s invitation initially p>
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere became more silent.
Especially Zhuang Shuyuan, her expression slightly changed, since it was she who insisted on allying with Phoenix Temple to plan the mining district profits.
She couldn’t help but look up at Cheng Zhanpeng and asked, “Zhanpeng, are you blaming me p>
Cheng Zhanpeng was stunned, hurriedly shook his head, and said, “How could I, Sister Zhuang, that’s not what I meant, I’m just saying if we didn’t get involved in this matter, perhaps given our relationship with the Fire Bamboo Forest people, it wouldn’t have come to this p>
