Chapter 646: Chapter 645: Talking to Ashlee and the others about helping people

"Big brother, they’re not going with us?" Ashlee asked while looking at him and then to the people outside of their window.

It seems that the kids had already been accustomed to Treyton’s actions as they were often letting those that they met accompany them to other places, whether it is to the north base or to other safer places, that’s why Ashlee and the other kids were obviously puzzled why they wouldn’t be traveling with those people outside even though they had also already rescued those people.

"Yes, we’re not traveling with them because we couldn’t take care of all of them. Look, our group only has me, Nathan, Nate, Jacob, and Camille that could truly act when something happens. The others are your older sisters and brothers who can indeed fight, but their strength is not yet enough, and then all of you guys," Luciel said while pointing at himself and all the others.

"Since we can’t be sure that we can protect all of you against them and other things when something happens, it isn’t good to just let them travel with us.

You guys should remember that in times like this, always prioritize your safety first, and if you can’t be sure that you can protect yourselves, then it’s better not to add more things that can affect your own safety.

When your brother Treyton and all the other team members are present, there’s no problem with safety issues, so the team could always spare some energy in saving others and letting others travel with us for their safety.

But now that we don’t have enough people, we can’t do that anymore. All of you should remember that you can’t just help continuously without making sure that you and the others around you can deal with possible problems that might happen in the future.

You guys have already seen that people in this time can be more scary than those zombies and mutant animals that we are seeing around, so all of you should think more about your own situation and the situation of others.

We already helped those people and helped them free themselves from those people that wanted to sell or kill them, and Nathan and the others also treated their wounds already, which is already enough.

Besides, we didn’t bother getting all the guns, bombs, and other weapons that their attackers had left, so they still have a lot of ways to survive on their own until they reach their destination as long as they know what they are doing.

And all of you should also remember that helping others should have a limit, and it would be depending on your own situation as well as your willingness to help.

For example, even if you wanted to help, but you can’t help much because you aren’t strong enough or wealthy enough to extend help, then you can only give a bit of help to the people you wanted to help.

If you’re strong enough, then you can help more. For example, because the team is strong, Treyton and the others could always help others and can even take them to safer places without much problem.

And of course, even if you guys wanted to help, you should also look at those people you are helping if they truly deserve to be helped.

Some people are indeed pitiful, but their minds are also not good, and most of them only wanted to do bad things, then it’s not worth it to help such people at all.

And as I said, there would always be limits. You guys can’t continue helping and helping people without letting them do anything, because they would just be more lazy and think that it’s just right to help them even if it isn’t.

Even if they are indeed good, people can always change, and after some time, those that you thought you are helping can even harm you.

That’s why always remember that helping others always has a limit, and helping others would always depend on your own situation and willingness," Luciel said while looking at the younger kids and the older kids.

He took the chance to educate the kids, especially the younger ones, regarding helping other people. Even if they couldn’t fully understand what he had just said, at least they would still be more cautious, and they would understand what he said when they grew older.

As for the older kids, they surely understood what he said, and he was just reminding them again that they always have to be more careful, especially when they aren’t strong enough to deal with the problems that they might cause if they just knew how to help others without weighing their own situation.

Of course, he could actually deal with all or most of the problems that could happen, but he didn’t say anything about it.

He even added after Ashlee and the other kids nodded, "You guys know that helping always has limits, so all of you should also expect that the help you guys are receiving also has some limits.

So all of you should think first on how to improve yourselves so that even if others aren’t present to help you, then all of you can still help yourselves.

Having others to help is good, but it’s always better to have your own strength and ability to take action because there would always come a time when other people wouldn’t be there to help you out."

"Don’t worry, big brother Luciel, we will continue training to get stronger!" Ashlee and the other kids said.

"Yes, that’s good, and don’t forget your studies. Being strong is not just about being physically strong or having strong superpowers; being strong is also about knowing more so that you can use that knowledge later on," Luciel said and then pointed at the activities that the kids haven’t finished yet because they eagerly went out with Nathan and the others.

The kids immediately looked at the papers that they had to do, and the others in the RV chuckled and cheered them on while also encouraging them to keep it up.
