Chapter 121: Pitiful Souls.
The attack came out of nowhere, leaving the Peace Keepers in shambles. Overwhelming numbers tipped the balance to one side and usurped control over the underground shelters one by one.
The refugees sensed the tremors caused by the battle and believed it to be another monster invasion. The horrors they survived came back to torment them and only the worst filled their minds. They were lacking in imagination, however.
Hope’s End underground shelter number 18 was far from the center of the city and the events from a few days ago. It was exactly for those reasons why the number of survivors it housed was significantly higher.
A large crowd huddled together in the spacious hall. Zhang Tianmu couldn’t help but grimace. He understood the cause but that did little to lower the displeasure he felt. A few thousands were gathered in front of him yet they weren’t even half of the shelter’s population.
"Trash..."
A bigger pool should have been a cause of celebration, but seeing how it’s filled with nothing but living waste, only disgust could be felt from looking at it.
"Curse those heretics..."
Things have not always been this way. Long ago, when humans received the gift of the gods, those unworthy were easy to discern. The darkness in their hearts would show itself and they would turn into monsters who know nothing but to serve their sick desires.
Heretics saw that as a sickness to be cured and created vaccines to protect the unworthy. Because of that, only the most heinous and despicable can be exposed for what they truly are and everyone else could go on living believing themselves to be among the worthy.
