My Apocalypse Territory

Chapter 32 - 32 We Are Not False

It was night, silent and still.

The whole Sanctuary seemed to have an indescribable atmosphere.

As if a storm was brewing!

Suddenly, a gust of wind rustled through the treetops, lifting fallen leaves high before they suddenly fell.

Inside a relatively intact villa, the lights were dim, reflecting even darker faces.

Ding Qiang took a deep breath and spoke first, "Everyone has seen the notice from the Sanctuary, right? What do you think?"

"What else can we think? A Sanctuary with only a few Awakeners trying to order us around, is that possible? I believe everyone here shares my thoughts."

"Right! How could we be at the Sanctuary's beck and call? What's with this patrol team nonsense, asking us to go out

But there was still a calmer Awakener who spoke, "We can't be careless. After all, those who dared to establish a Sanctuary here are probably also Awakeners who have killed Demonized Beasts. We should be a bit cautious."

Seeing the moment was right, Ding Qiang spoke again, "Exactly, we can't let our guard down, but there's no need to overestimate the other side. I have already investigated the combat power of the Sanctuary. Please take a look."

He threw out three cards with the names of three individuals.

Chen Haiping.

Captain Luo.

Director Tang.

"These three are the ones we need to pay special attention to."

Ding Qiang picked up the card with Chen Haiping's name, "This person, I'm sure you've seen him often. You're all Awakeners and can sense auras. You naturally know this person's aura intensity, right?"

"Indeed," someone said gravely, "Chen Haiping's aura intensity is high. Frankly, none of us could match him. He is likely the top expert in the Sanctuary."

"Chen Haiping's aura has the highest intensity among the Awakeners in the Sanctuary, but the other two shouldn't be underestimated."

He picked up the card with Captain Luo's name, "Captain Luo, real name unknown. This person's aura isn't as strong as Chen Haiping's, but his presence is terrifying. You understand presence, right? The difference between those who have killed and those who haven't is vast. Captain Luo is probably ruthless, and since he dares to search for supplies, his strength shouldn't be underestimated."

"Lastly, there's the mysterious Director Tang. I've only seen him from a distance. He looks ordinary, without the presence of a strong person, but we can't be careless. I suspect that those Puppets at the Sanctuary are Director Tang's doing."

"An ability user?" someone softly said.

Many people had similar suspicions in their hearts.

Suddenly, the scene fell silent.

The meaning of an ability user might not be understood by some, but those present believed they understood.

In battle, if one could only fight straightforwardly while the other had mysterious and powerful abilities, the outcome was obvious. In the apocalypse, if Awakeners were masters in the eyes of ordinary people, then ability users were masters in the eyes of Awakeners!

Masters favored by the heavens!

"If Director Tang is an ability user, what should we do? Those Puppets seem troublesome, and if there are many of them, it'll be difficult."

Ding Qiang chuckled softly, his smile exuding an effortless sense of control.

"Indeed, ability users are hard to deal with, but we aren't without an ability user ourselves."

Everyone exchanged looks, confused.

If they had an ability user, why would they need to sit here discussing secretive matters?

"We indeed don't have any ability users among us, but today, a person named Peng Bo arrived at the Sanctuary. That person is an ability user. As to whether he would assist us, you'll understand once you've met Peng Bo..."

Ding Qiang's tone was certain, "He is one of us."

...

Time rewound to the afternoon.

Peng Bo swaggered down the street, with every survivor he met avoiding him from a distance.

He felt quite helpless; it was just a scar on his head that made him look fierce. Did it warrant this reaction? Did trust between people no longer exist?

For survivors living in the apocalypse, trust between people certainly didn't exist. Especially for someone like Peng Bo, who appeared vicious. It was said that some people purposely got tattoos and scars to look fiercer. This slightly chubby person was probably one of those, an Awakener no less, not someone to mess with.

Survivors had already heard of this and quickly lowered their heads, hastening away.
