Chapter 5 He Is an Ordinary Person
At the foot of Panlong Mountain;
Two figures stood in the middle of the asphalt road, waiting quietly.
Both figures were wearing camouflage uniforms and had half-inch short hair, but one was middle-aged and the other was an upright young man.
Among them, the middle-aged man was obviously different from ordinary people. In addition to being tall and tall, his beard and hair were all red. As soon as he stood there, he felt a billowing heat wave hitting his face.
And this person is none other than the leader of the Jicheng survivor base, the fifth-level superpower, King Yan.
Next to him, the young man who came with him was Lin Han, a third-level ice power user from Spring City.
At this moment, the two people were each carrying two suitcases, and they came just to buy daily necessities with Shi Xuan.
"Wow, Brother Yan, this Panlong Mountain base is too luxurious, isn't it? There is a fortress set up every ten meters, and there are drones in the sky to monitor it at any time, and there are even rocket launchers over there!"
While waiting, Lin Han came to Panlong Mountain for the first time, so he was completely shocked by the luxurious defense line on the mountain.
"Haha, are you surprised now? When you actually enter the base, your jaw will drop, isn't it? What's outside, it's really amazing inside the air raid shelter on the mountain!"
Seeing Lin Han's surprised look, Yan Wang chuckled and directly told him about the various amazing scenes he saw in the Shixuan air-raid shelter during his previous two visits.
"What? In the air-raid shelter, there are also indoor swimming pools, indoor farms, and various indoor game venues?! Are you kidding me!"
Immediately after listening to King Yan's description, Lin Han's eyes almost popped out of his head.
"Who is this Lord of Panlong Mountain? Why does he still have such terrifying resources in this apocalyptic world?"
Lin Han swallowed his saliva and asked in stunned silence.
"There is no way to know his true identity, but according to rumors, he seems to be the successor of a big entrepreneur in the old world. He has owned hundreds of billions of assets since he was a child, and he also has an apocalyptic complex, so he built this place before the apocalypse comes. The air raid shelter was transformed into his own base and a large amount of supplies were stored."
Listening to Lin Han's questioning, King Yan frowned and briefly described the rumored identity of Shi Xuan.
It is naturally impossible to reveal the fact that Shi Xuan has a system to outsiders.
So as to why he had such amazing resources, he simply made up a lie, saying that this was the secret he had accumulated before the end of the world.
But now that the end of the world has arrived, others are naturally unable to investigate whether what Shi Xuan said is true or false.
Over time, Shi Xuan's identity as the rich second generation of the old world was finally confirmed.
"That's it! Why does this guy have such terrifying resources?"
Immediately listening to Yan Wang's narration, Lin Han also believed in the identity of the second generation Shi Xuanfu.
After solving one problem, Lin Han raised other questions.
"But Brother Yan, I'm curious about something else. That's why the Lord of Panlong Mountain stipulates that only the currency of the old world can be used to purchase supplies from him?"
With that said, Lin Han opened the suitcase in his hand and saw that it was filled with red hundred-yuan bills.
"These things were indeed very precious in the old world, but now that all countries have been destroyed and the social system has collapsed, these currencies of the old world are nothing more than waste paper! Does the Lord of Panlong Mountain have something wrong with his head? , and it is stipulated that these currencies must be used to purchase his resources?”
Lin Han was very puzzled and didn't understand the meaning of this regulation at all.
Because in his opinion, in this apocalyptic world where everyone is precarious, food and water are the hard currency, and any currency has lost its value.
How could anyone be willing to trade money for food and water?
"I think you have something wrong with your head! Can't you understand this? Because from the very beginning, the Lord of Panlong Mountain had no intention of selling supplies. He just wanted to give them to us!"
But when faced with Lin Han's questions, King Yan scolded him directly.
"Wha, what? He wanted to give us the supplies in the first place? Then why didn't he give them to us directly? Why did he have to go to the extra step and make a provision for collecting old world currency?"
Lin Han, who was scolded, was slightly stunned at first, but then the doubt in his eyes became stronger.
"Because he is taking care of our feelings and doesn't want us to feel guilty that we are getting something for free."
King Yan's eyes flashed, and he explained again with some admiration.
And listening to King Yan's explanation, the doubts in Lin Han's eyes gradually turned into admiration.
"In that case, the Lord of Panlong Mountain is a kind-hearted man!"
But after admiring him and looking at the machine gun forts all over the mountains and plains, Lin Han couldn't help but ask.
"But since he is a good person, why doesn't he join our survivor base, or expand his survivor base, and then use his resources to provide shelter to more survivors?"
yes!
In King Yan's narrative, Shi Xuan is definitely a kind-hearted person who is willing to give away his resources to others and yet does not forget to take care of others' feelings.
And since he has a kind heart and wants to help other survivor bases, why not devote more resources, or directly devote himself to helping others?
This is the question in Lin Han's mind at this moment.
""
Listening to Lin Han's another question, King Yan was silent for a moment, and then sighed and answered.
"Because he is kind, but not selfless."
Yan Wang explained with a twinkling look.
"Although he is willing to help others, he must do so without harming his own interests. For example, if he has ten yuan and sees a beggar on the street, he is only willing to give one yuan to the other party, and the remaining nine yuan is used to buy a fried chicken leg for himself."
Yan Wang is right!
Shi Xuan also admitted that he is not selfless, and even a little selfish.
The premise for him to donate part of the supplies to several survivor bases around him is that he must first live a life of worry-free food and clothing.
No, not just worry-free food and clothing, perhaps it is more appropriate to say that he has a life of luxury.
Because when the base was just built and Shi Xuan's family could only eat instant noodles, he never thought of donating part of the supplies to other survivor bases.
Until later, Panlong Mountain became more and more luxurious, and all kinds of supplies were extremely abundant.
Even under normal circumstances, it was enough for Shi Xuan's family to eat for ten years before he decided to take out a year's reserve supplies and give them to the surrounding survivor bases.
As for taking those survivors to Panlong Mountain, and then risking his life to protect those strangers, that was something Shi Xuan had never thought of.
He could not give up his own wealth and glory for a group of strangers.
He had ten dollars, but was only willing to give one dollar to others.
This metaphor is absolutely appropriate to describe Shi Xuan.
From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a little selfish.
Hearing what King Yan said, Lin Han couldn't help but look more confused.
"Brother Yan, after hearing what you said, I can't figure out what kind of person the Lord of Panlong Mountain is? Is he kind or selfish?"
After hearing this, King Yan's eyes flashed, and after a long silence, he answered.
"It's definitely not selfish, he's just not selfless! If you have to say, then he should be a kind ordinary person."
King Yan said, and a soft smile flashed in his eyes.
"He has his own little schemes in mind, but he has never thought of hurting others. Even when he has extra money, he helps others to the best of his ability. This alone is better than most people."
As he spoke, King Yan seemed to think of some people, and couldn't help but snorted.
"Hmph, don't look at many people who are full of benevolence and morality, but when they really have powerful power, they will definitely think of showing off their power and even oppressing others! Over the years, we have seen awakened superpowers oppressing ordinary people. Are they still rare?"
King Yan continued to hum.
"Not to mention in this doomsday, even in the old world, there are very few people who can take out one dollar from ten dollars and give it to beggars! From this point of view alone, the Lord of Panlong Mountain is definitely worthy of the word kindness."
As he spoke, a trace of emotion flashed in King Yan's eyes, and then he continued.
"And there are not so many selfless people in this world. If everyone can be so kind, it would be wonderful."
