Care Guide to Raising a Max Level Leaf in a Apocalypse

Chapter 19

Even though they knew something was amiss, they still responded to the welcoming survivors.

Feng Chuyao and Yu Feichen were almost waving to them from the top of the car.

Ji Jiu had good hearing and heard some discussions from the crowd.

A little girl, about seven years old, asked her father, who was carrying her on his shoulders, "Daddy, why is everyone so happy?"

Her father smiled and replied, "I heard that Chief Si's mission this time was to eliminate a mutant that was constantly expanding its territory. If it weren't for them, our base would likely have been included in the expanding territory of that mutant."

"But we have the gama defense barrier. Even if that garden really expands to our area, it won't affect our base," a short man next to him expressed his dissatisfaction after hearing that.

As soon as these words were spoken, others quickly opposed. Another hunter who was also attracted to the welcome protests, "Who do you think you are, denying the Chief's contribution?"

The short man flinched when he saw the emblem representing Awakened hunters on the hunter's chest and muttered, "They're all monsters."

He said this sentence very softly, and only the hunter, who was an Awakened, heard it. Angered, he couldn't help but retort, "What did you say? Old human."

This statement attracted the hostile gazes of several people. The hunter himself also regretted it, but his youthful arrogance prevented him from bowing his head and uttering the three words of apology.

The short man immediately seized this opportunity and shouted loudly, "What did you say? Old human? Aren't you hunters the ones who claim to be equal to everyone and reject the differentiation between Awakened and ordinary people? It's all a show! Your true nature is exposed!"

With his loud voice, more people became aware, and they all looked over.

"Old human" was a highly ambiguous insult for ordinary people, and it was directly prohibited in various public contexts two years ago by the Non-Ability Special Division.

The unknown was the greatest fear of humans. When the Awakened first appeared, many people considered it another mutation. Many ordinary people believed that the Awakened should not belong to the category of humans but were part of the mutant civilization, so fundamentally, they considered the Awakened as mutants. That's why the hunter became so angry when he heard the short man say they were all monsters.

After this viewpoint began to spread, tensions between the Awakened and ordinary people escalated. The Awakened mockingly referred to ordinary people as "Old humans."

This meant that they were the emerging humans who adapted to the development of the Earth, while ordinary people were the old humans who would be eliminated.

The Non-Ability Special Division was established during the most tense period of the relationship between the two sides. It represented the position of ordinary people without ability, solely responsible for their affairs and speaking on their behalf. It was the only organization that didn't have any Awakened members.

The argument quickly attracted several Base Security Guard personnel who came over with a hostile attitude to maintain order. "Why are you arguing? Come with me!"

Although only two people were causing trouble, they all stared at the young hunter, as if afraid he would run away.

Seeing the intimidating Base Security Guard approaching, the people dispersed, leaving only the two individuals who were quarreling.
