C2849 First Time Following His Lead(part Iii)
However, Lin Hao knew very well that the number of lives lost during this catastrophe must have exceeded the total number of lives that he had killed in his life, including the Demonic Beast that he had killed. It was imaginable how huge this number was.2
Lin Hao could clearly see that there were a lot of Demonic Beast mixed in the Imperial City. They were recklessly eating the flesh and blood of dead people or living people. They could also see the destruction of countless families. The people who had lost their wives and children were drifting on the streets. Their eyes were empty. This catastrophe had taken away almost everything from them except for their meaningless lives.
There were also countless cultivator who did not choose to drive away the beasts to save their lives. Instead, they joined the ranks of those who took advantage of the situation!
This was the Imperial City, the economic center of kingdom, even the weakest aristocratic family. Now, there was such a good opportunity to rob these powerful aristocratic families. Even the righteous cultivator had the idea to do so.
Among these damaged families, some were still protected by others, while some had already been annihilated. However, in front of these ferocious cultivator, everything could be considered his.
Lin Hao wasn't a kind person, but he was also a member of Human Race. Seeing so many innocent and ordinary people die, Lin Hao's heart was moved. After all, these were humans with fresh lives. They had no guilt or responsibility. They had obviously been dragged into this catastrophe without doing anything. They had died a violent death.
The heaven and earth were heartless, and everything was a Straw Dog. At this moment, Lin Hao had a deeper understanding of the importance of strength in this world, even though he had already experienced it for a long time.
No one would have thought that their deaths were not because of the war, not because of the plague, not because of any reason, but because they had souls and were weak. Therefore, they wanted to become Zhuo Qingfeng's Straw Dog.
Before absolute strength was suppressed, no one could speak. Even wailing required courage.
In Zhuo Qingfeng's eyes, the lives of millions of people in kingdom were merely the Straw Dog he used to sacrifice the Heavenly Soul Crystal. Zhuo Qingfeng didn't need it, and he had no reason to care about everyone's feelings.
Not only in Zhuo Qingfeng's heart, but also in the eyes of all the experts in the world. The lives of all the weak mortals were the Straw Dog. Those with good intentions. They might feel pity, but the help they received would only be limited. There will definitely not be any more actions.
And most normal powerhouses would definitely choose to turn a blind eye. This was not too heartless, but because the entire world was too big. There were too many humans, and the law of the world respected strength. With such a huge number of people, which idiot would really care about the life and death of an unknown citizen of the Lower-class Kingdom?
This was obviously impossible.
Lin Hao knew this in his heart, but even though he had been in this world for more than a year, he still hadn't completely let go of the useless thoughts of his previous life. Regarding this matter, Lin Hao still couldn't bear to look at it closely.
However, in the end, Lin Hao was only useless. It was just a woman's kindness that made people laugh at him. Even if Lin Hao killed Zhuo Qingfeng in the end, the real reason why Lin Hao did it wasn't because of the people in the world.
As for avenging the dead, it wasn't enough to comfort Lin Hao. After all, Lin Hao was just passing by.
