Chapter 32 We Aren’t Being Unreasonable

Translator: SumTLMan

The night was silent.

An indescribable air suddenly hung over the whole shelter.

It was as if a storm was coming!

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through the treetops, and the fallen leaves followed the gust. Only to have the leaves suddenly fall back down.

In a relatively intact looking villa, the inside is dimly lit while reflecting several faces in the dark.

Ding Qiang took a deep breath and became the first to speak: “I believe everyone has read the shelter notice by now. What thoughts do you guys have regarding these changes?”

“What else can we think? Is it possible for a shelter with only a few awakened ones to boss us all around? I believe all of you feel the same way.”

“That’s right! How is it possible for the shelter to send awakened ones on errands? Some bullshit patrol team is forcing us to go out and search for supplies while unconditionally obeying their orders. They just want us to die! It’s not easy arriving at such a place with such scarce demonized beasts. It’s better to never see another demonized beast again. I just want to eat and drink every day for the rest of my life. No way am I going to head outside and fight against another demonized beast!”

“Don’t mention the patrol team, I don’t even want to join the ordinary hauling team. As awakened ones, shouldn’t we be treated as guests of honour anywhere we go? It’s already very rare for us to be willing to stay in one place. But the shelter also wants us to do errands, ah!”

“But according to the notice, if we don’t become a permanent resident staff member of the shelter, we won’t receive as much food in the future. Even the priority for housing will be given to those who join the shelter. Hum, are we going to end up being evicted from this villa?”

Under the swaying light…

Several faces gloomily looked at each other.

They have taken what has been provided to them for granted and believe all of it should belong to them.

Whoever wants to take their provisions away will make them their enemy!

Looking at the common hatred in their eyes, Ding Qiang couldn’t help but smile.

These people are all awakened ones who have always had the same views as him. In the past, he was worried that some of these men weren’t as firm with their stances. But now it seems that these people are very dissatisfied with the shelter’s decision as well.

His confidence has risen from 50 to 70% chance of succeeding in his plan.

“So gentlemen, if you don’t want to lose what we have now. We need to discuss with the shelter about our terms and conditions.”

“Terms and conditions? How can we discuss it? Anyway, the shelter…”

“The shelter? No, this is just a small organization with several awakened ones.”

If this was a real shelter, even a small-sized shelter. This wouldn’t be a place which they could afford to provoke. Initially, they were intimidated by the title of shelter.

Some of the survivors soon thought Ding Qiang was right. This so-called shelter isn’t worthy of its title. The management for the shelter only had a few people. Even if they were all awakened ones, so what? Aren’t they also awakened ones? In terms of numbers, they may not necessarily have less than the other party!

“Old Ding is right. There are only a few awakened ones in this place. No matter which organization or team we join, weren’t we supplied with food and entertainment? This stupid organization forces us to haul things around all day. Now, they even want to steal the food away from us. This is what should belong to us. They have to first ask this father and his blade that’s slain demonized beast whether he agrees or not!”

After saying this, he immediately attracted the envy of others.

Not all awakened ones have killed demonized beasts… Most of them were just ordinary people before becoming awakened ones after the doomsday. Many of them haven’t even killed chickens yet. Not to mention fighting against the demonized beasts, this must be a joke!

It’s no secret that killing demonized beasts will allow one to absorb spirit force and become stronger. However, the reality isn’t a game. Everyone has only one chance in life. It’s not as simple as fighting against monsters and levelling up. All of this requires them to put their lives on the line.

Ding Qiang won this wager and rose to prominence from then on.

If he lost this wager, he would’ve turned into a pile of bones.

Most awakened ones chose to avoid fighting since demonized beasts are simply too terrifying. Anyway, with their physique, they can pretty much run much faster and survive more easily than ordinary people. In this case, why risk their lives fighting against the demonized beasts?

Just to get stronger? This is too unreasonable!

In the past, they also knew how to study and make progress every day through hard work. But few people actually do it!

There were several awakened ones present who simply didn’t dare to fight. In the past, it was extremely shocking when they had witnessed some of their companions suddenly being killed in front of them by the demonized beasts… With what happened to their teammates, they were afraid of what the shelter would make them do!

They followed this fierce man who has killed a demonized beast!

“Yes, we are qualified to negotiate with the shelter! If the shelter provides us with enough status and supplies, then we can forget the changes. But if the shelter doesn’t give in to our demands. Then they can’t blame us for being ruthless!”

“Well said, this shelter is annoying. What kind of bullshit system is this? We aren’t even allowed to touch the ordinary survivors. I’ve been holding back this past couple of days. They can’t blame this father for being ruthless. Anyway, I’m going to be happy today!” 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺

The group grew excited!

However, there is still a relatively calm awakened one which opened up and said: “But we cannot be careless. These people, who dare to set up a shelter here aren’t afraid of awakened ones and have also killed demonized beasts. So, we should be even more wary of them.”

As soon as the man finished speaking, Ding Qiang spoke again: “Yes, we can’t treat the other party lightly. But there’s no need to think highly of them. I’ve already investigated the combat strength of the shelter. Please take a look.”

He threw out three cards which had three names written on them.

Chen Haiping.

Captain Roger.

Leader Tang.

“These are the three people we need to focus on.”

Ding Qiang picked up the card with Chen Haiping’s name written on it and said: “I believe everyone has seen this person before. Each of you is also an awakened one. All of you can sense his aura and naturally know the intensity of this man’s aura.”

“Indeed.” Someone solemnly said: “Chen Haiping’s aura intensity is very high. To tell you the truth, I’m afraid none of us can compare with him. I believe this person is the top master of the shelter.”

“Chen Haiping’s aura is indeed the strongest among the shelter’s awakened ones. But the other two cannot be underestimated.”

He picked up the card with Captain Roger’s name written on it: “Captain Roger’s real name is unknown. Although this man’s aura isn’t as high as Chen Haiping, his momentum is terrible. You know, there is a big difference between someone who has never killed people and someone who has. I’m afraid Captain Roger is a vicious person in the latter. Coupled with the fact that the other party dares to go out and search for supplies every day. Naturally, we shouldn’t underestimate him.”

“Finally, there is also this mysterious Leader Tang. I have only seen him from a distance. He looks very ordinary and doesn’t have the momentum of a strong man, but we cannot be careless about him. My guess is the puppets in the shelter were created by Leader Tang.”

“Does this person have a special ability?”

Someone softly asked.

Many people held this speculation in their mind.

Some people may not understand what a person with special ability means, but several of the people present all knew something about it.

When two sides battle. If one side can only do direct attacks while the other side has a mysterious or powerful ability… The result of the battle is self-evident. During the doomsday, if an awakened one is a master in the eyes of ordinary people. Then a person with a special ability is the master in the eyes of an awakened one!

This master is a favoured son of heaven!

“What should we do if Leader Tang is a person with a special ability? Those puppets seem a little difficult to handle. But if there are a large number of them, they will be even more difficult to handle.”

Ding Qiang gives a small chuckle. This chuckle gave a sense of ease as if he was in control of everything.

“A person with a special ability is really difficult to handle. But we don’t lack a person with a special ability on our side as well.”

A few people look at him and he looked back at them, noticing that some of them were still a little confused.

If they already had a person with a special ability among them. Then why did they still need to sit here and discuss all of this in the dark?

“It’s true there is no one with a special ability among us. But a person named Peng Bo arrived in the shelter today. This person is the one with a special ability… As for whether the other party is willing to help us, I believe all of you will understand when you meet him.”

Ding Qiang firmly assured: “He, like the rest of us, is the same type of person.”

…………

Time goes back to the afternoon.

Peng Bo walked along the road with his head shaking the whole way. All of the survivors he met avoided him and stayed at a distance.

He was quite helpless. He just had a scar on his forehead and looked a little more ferocious. They avoided him just because of his looks! Is there no trust between survivors any longer?!

For the survivors living in the doomsday, there is normally no trust between each other. Not to mention someone like Peng Bo who looks so fierce. It’s said that some people have gotten tattoos and scars just to make themselves look fiercer. They are afraid of this type of slightly fat man in front of them who is an awakened one. No one really dares to stir up trouble or provoke him.

The survivors who he overheard talking with each other for a while hurriedly put their heads down and quickly walked away when he came in their direction.
