End of the World? I'm the Boss novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225 Perfect Time

But after the world fell apart, everything changed.

Before, they believed in equality for everyone.

But now, Redwood Military Base had become a place with the strictest class system. It was the exact opposite of what they once stood for.

And yet, they had no choice.

They couldn’t go against orders.

Robin understood that. That’s why, from the start, she hadn’t gone all out against them.

“Don’t let her brainwash you!”

Seeing the guards hesitate, Hector quickly shouted, “She killed Commander Moody! And instead of taking revenge, you’re standing here listening to her nonsense? Are you trying to disobey orders?”

Ella shot him a cold look. Hector instantly felt a chill.

“The only reason we’re not killing you,” Ella said flatly, “is because you’re still useful. Otherwise, do you think Chad would be the only one dead right now?”

Hector froze.

I’m useful?

For what?

Are they planning something worse for me?

What he didn’t know was that Robin valued his shamelessness. She planned to bring him back and let him talk like this in front of Klay. If Klay got triggered, she might even level up.

That was Hector’s only use now.

“Think about what I said,” Robin said calmly. “You’ve all heard of Martin and Drake. If the base is handed to them, I believe they can run it well.”

“But that’s not the main issue,” one guard said, gritting his teeth. “Yes, the system here is bad.

But it’s stable.

“If we try to change it, it will cause chaos.

And these people in front of them were strong. Maybe they really could change things.

Clank!

One guard threw his gun to the ground. He looked at Robin with firm eyes. “If you can really improve life for the people here, then I’ll follow you.”

“Willard…” A younger guard behind him tugged at his sleeve. “That’s betraying your leaders…” “What leaders?” Willard said firmly. “From the day I joined the army, the people came first!

“They’re right. Everything I did before was for the people-and it still is.

“I must have lost my way these past months. This base oppresses ordinary people. The higher- ups live in luxury villas, while everyone else is crammed into Outerville, packed into cheap housing. That’s not what I want!

“From now on, I’ll stick to my beliefs. If they can give people a better life, how is that betrayal?”

“You’re right?” Drake clapped, unable to hold back.

Robin also looked at him with clear approval.

Human nature was complicated.

After the collapse, many people showed their true colors. For a little food or a place to stay, they would turn on their own kind. Schemes, tricks, and cruelty pushed the weak further down. In times like this, the worst parts of humanity were on full display.
