Chapter 1910

Sister...

I hate it so much...!

He rolled heavily off the vehicle onto the ground, the youth painfully curled into a ball; after his fingers were cut off, he didn't even have the qualification to die gripping his knife like a warrior.

He didn't know why people wanted to deceive him, nor why he had to suffer such hardship.

He was clearly working hard to stay alive; he clearly endured hardship yet still wanted to help others; clearly relying solely on his own hands, on the credit points painstakingly accumulated by him and his sister, he finally saw hope of changing his fate.

But fate seemed to have played a huge joke on him; his kindness was exploited, his innocence and trust were seen as weakness and stupidity.

Gazing at the darkness above, at that scarlet maw, the youth's eyes filled with unwillingness.

Why do those who work hard not get good results...

Why does power forever lie in the hands of the wicked!?

Why is this world so unjust!

Why do they deserve to be betrayed!? Could kindness, could belief, be wrong!?

"Hate?"

"Unwilling?"

In an instant, a tranquil voice, as if from another world, suddenly sounded in his mind.

Time seemed to stop flowing; the boy was startled, instinctively trying to locate the source of the voice.

Kindness is not wrong; wrong is someone exploiting kindness.

Power is not sin either; sin comes from the user.

Those who betrayed you are not strong; they are merely a bunch of cowards, a bunch of trash who dare not fight monsters. They only tremble in the dark, then slash at the weak...

Like an intangible light materializing, a soul body that guides faith.

The youth stared blankly at the intangible power appearing beside him, not waiting for him to open his mouth to say something.

The next second, the existence that had appeared between him and the monster spoke again.

Hate? Do you want to kill these scum? Want to change all this, kill all evil?

Let the world be fair again, let kindness not be betrayed, let the treacherous be punished?

Want!! I want!!!

As the words fell, the youth roared; this god‑like presence spoke his deepest desire!

"Buzz!"

In an instant, almost as he finished speaking, that cluster of light seemed to merge into his body; an extremely terrifying power suddenly blasted the giant maw above his head to pieces.

The next second, the youth felt the surging power within his body excitedly, leaping up from the ground!

Powerful, incredibly powerful!

He became Awakened Ones!

The sudden huge change stunned the Awakened Ones in the car, but before they could react, a twisted, snarling face appeared in their view.

I will kill you bunch of bad people!

His fists enlarged without limit.

"Boom!!!"

Outside the Safe Zone.

The Awakened Ones lazily leaning against the city wall chatted intermittently, happily enjoying the flattery of the surrounding Survivors.

Whenever someone entered the city, all they needed was to lift an eyelid, and these Survivors could only humiliatingly hand over the supplies they had found outside.

Occasionally a veiled girl with some looks would enter the city; the guards gathered at the entrance would treat it as amusement, stepping forward to tease, or even drag her aside to laugh loudly amid her sobs.

Dare to be angry but dare not speak; for most lower‑class people, the guards with Safe Zone status are big shots they cannot afford to offend.

But no one knew when, in the eyes of the soldiers guarding the city, a staggering figure suddenly appeared on the distant horizon.

All that could be seen at the edge of vision was a youth alone dragging many packages, step by step walking toward the Safe Zone.

Their eyes lit up; whether the guards or the flattering search squad nearby, they instantly exchanged glances, reading each other's greed.

A fat sheep, perhaps the whole squad died, a foolish fool who stupidly brought supplies back alone.

Come on! Go up and 'help' this kid!

Several greedy snickers.

At the city gate, several soldiers and a tightly‑knit squad simply surrounded him, afraid this fat sheep would escape.

But nobody noticed that the youth, dragging his supplies and leaving footprints step by step, was staring back at them just as intently.

They want to kill you, to take everything from you..

I know! God! I know what to do! These scum are the parasites clinging to our heads! My best friend was beaten to death by them! They insulted his girlfriend right in front of him, then sold Zhang Zi into a brothel!

They deceive superiors and inferiors, even trying to seize our life‑saving food!

They have power yet never protected us! Every Corpse Horde assault, they only let us die, leading the Zombies away!

Clenching his fists tightly, after gaining power the youth did not conceal the hatred in his heart.

He could certainly tell what this bunch intended to do!

However, just as he answered in his heart, that voice sounded again:

No, they are hateful, but even more hateful are the people above them.

They are merely a bunch of foot soldiers, using the authority granted by the upper level to oppress you, yet most of what they extort ends up going to the upper level.

How could the strong of this Safe Zone possibly be unaware of what's happening below? They merely turn a blind eye, coldly watch, and use these fellow low‑level trash to oppress you.

As the words fell, the youth staggered, a flash of confusion crossing his eyes.

The people above? For some reason, his mind suddenly flashed with those Three Fourth Rank High Level beings that people worship, that he longs for yet fears, flying overhead.

Are they giving the orders? And oppressing us together with these people?

Before the youth could think much, the soldiers quickly surrounded him.

"Kid! Drop what you're holding! Damn, where did all that blood on you come from? Wait, you're with that Fire Wolf Squad guy!!"

Startled, among the Awakened Ones who had come with the soldiers, someone immediately recognized the youth.

As if thinking of something, several people's faces drastically changed.

"Kill him! Damn, this kid dared to kill our people!"

Three minutes later.

The youth gasped heavily, the battle sword in his hand raised high, suspended in midair.

A group of Awakened Ones whose strongest were only at First Level peak were no match for him now. He wanted to slash down that ugly face in one blow, but at his feet, the soldier's shouted words made him hesitate.

"You can't kill me! I'm a soldier under Lord Liang! If you kill me, the Safe Zone won't let you off!"

However, almost as the soldier shouted, in the youth's mind, the voice that gave him power calmly sounded.

"Are you afraid?"

"You're not unwilling; you swore to kill these evildoers, right?"

"How come you actually fear authority, lacking even the courage to swing your blade? Or is it that your so-called hatred is just self-deception, forgetting the pain you've endured, forgetting those they killed?"

"No! I'm not afraid! How could I possibly forget!"

"They deserve to die! They deserve to die!"

"Plop"—the battle sword fell, and the head rolled on the ground.
