On an early spring morning, Qi Shao, who had just gotten up, wrapped himself tightly in his clothes and braved the chilly spring air to go out with a few hunched middle-aged men to reclaim the land and build a new plantation.

While munching on the steamed buns he'd received from the restaurant, Qi Shao muttered in dissatisfaction as he passed the square and saw the hunting team members gathered together to sell their prey. "Hmph, the director is biased. Why do they get extra income? Are people with special abilities superior to others?"

His voice was not loud, but how could the sharp-eyed and sharp-eared psychics not hear it? So Qi Shao immediately felt a lot of vague gazes falling on him.

After long-term training and baptism of blood, the gazes of these hunting team members made Qi Shao shrink back in fear. He knew that he could not defeat these psychics whose physical fitness far exceeded that of ordinary people with his own body.

Qi Shao subconsciously wanted to run away, but when he caught sight of Shasha, a short, young, and female member of the psychic team, Qi Shao straightened his back as if he had found some kind of confidence.

"What are you looking at? The director is biased. We ordinary people work hard all day and earn less than a fraction of what a superpowered person earns. Why is that?"

Finding no one to refute him, Qi Shao immediately grabbed the worker next to him and shouted louder, "I'm not talking about just me. Many ordinary people in our shelter don't earn as much as people with special abilities. Why can't we ordinary people get the most basic life-saving supplies after a busy day? Why do you people with special abilities feel superior?"

Feeling more and more aggrieved the more he spoke, Qi Shao grabbed the hand of a worker next to him and showed it to everyone in the square: "Look, everyone, come and see! We laborers toil day and night to build new plantations, our hands covered in chilblains and cracks. Why do you people with special abilities get to eat the food we grow and live a better life than us?"

Ah!

Before Qi Shao could finish his words, a big knife flew past his ear with a whistling sound. The place where the blade had passed by felt both painful and itchy. When he touched it with his hand, it was covered in blood.

Seeing his terrified expression, Sasha, who had thrown away the big knife, put her hands on her hips and snorted disdainfully: "It's just a little scrape and you're howling like a wolf or a ghost. We always go hunting without getting hurt. Can you bear this?"

As she spoke, her eyes swept over all the ordinary people in the square who were ready to make a move because of Qi Shao's words: "I'm warning you, you'd better not listen to this guy's nonsense. Think about it with your conscience, has the director ever shortchanged you?"

Under Qi Shao's horrified gaze, Sasha walked towards him step by step, then squatted down and picked up the dusty steamed bun that he had dropped on the ground.

Although the spring weather was still chilly, the steamed bun in Sasha's hand still emitted heat and fragrance, warming her palms. She quickly broke off the dusty part of it and ate it while glancing at everyone.

"At least the hard-working people in our shelter won't starve or get hurt. Even if it's raining knives outside, you can still work safely in the shelter.

What? Are you still not satisfied with this?"

“Why should we be satisfied?!”

Covering his bleeding ear, Qi Shao stared at Shasha fiercely: "Just because we are ordinary people and have not awakened superpowers, we have to be willing to work like slaves for you?

Before this damn apocalypse, everyone was an ordinary person. Do you think you are nobler than us?"

Perhaps his choked voice and words were too contagious, and many ordinary people around him who were preparing to go to work and cultivate the fields began to echo him. Gradually, their voices became louder and louder, and they even pointed fingers at the psychics.

"Yeah, even if you're a superpowered person, you can't just hurt others. Look, that guy's ear was almost cut off and he's bleeding."

"That's what I mean. We both work a day, but the most I can eat is steamed buns. But the person with special abilities who lives in the dormitory next to me can eat meat every day and even pay money to support a woman. Why do they live better than us when we do the same job?"

For a while, the square was noisy. Many people who had just joined the shelter started to be picky about life after two days of getting familiar with the place. They had long forgotten that if they had not been sheltered by the Hope shelter, they would have died in the wild and been eaten by wild animals.

As daylight dawned, Sasha swept her gaze over the people present and drew back her sword. She pointed it at Qi Shao and said, "Anyone who refuses to accept my decision may do so. I want to see if you have the guts to do so!"

Everyone who was pointed at by her knife retreated subconsciously, and no one dared to step forward to challenge her. They knew very well that the strength of people with special abilities was far beyond the reach of ordinary people like them.

Finding that no one dared to look at her, Sasha retracted her long knife and casually stuck it into the ground. The cracked ground made the workers gathered around shudder and quickly flee from here.

Seeing that everyone else had left, Qi Shao could only cover his bleeding ear, glare at Sasha hatefully, and flee in embarrassment. The originally bustling square in front of the door instantly became deserted.

"Hey! A bunch of cowards!"

Lifting the long sword and carrying it on her shoulder, Sasha turned around and called to the other teammates: "Okay, don't worry about these people, let's continue."

Someone put his arm around Sasha's shoulders and tried to persuade her, "Why bother with them? These newcomers probably still think they're in the pre-apocalyptic world. They only see us eating meat and don't think about the fact that we always leave home with our heads on our belts. It's uncertain whether we can come back or not."

Forget it, let's just live our lives well and don't let these ungrateful guys get angry at us."

They had heard Qi Shao say the same thing today before in their lives. Many people criticized them and thought that they, a group of people with special abilities, were taking advantage of them.

At first they would argue, but after a long time they were too lazy to argue anymore. Anyway, these confused guys were unreasonable. They only wanted to believe what they wanted to believe and didn't care about the facts.

Since there is no point in talking to each other, over time they will be too lazy to say anything. Anyway, there are not many people with such unclear minds.

The group of people continued to get busy, but Qin Ming, who heard such remarks for the second time, felt that the matter was not that simple.

After giving the prey to a friend to sell, Qin Ming quickly found the Government Affairs Office. Only when he saw the closed door of the government affairs hall did he hit his head in frustration.

"Damn it, I forgot the office hours are 8:30 in the morning. How could there be anyone here at 7 o'clock?"

Leaning against the glass door and looking inside, Qin Ming found that there was indeed no one inside and shook his head: "Forget it, I'll find another opportunity to come back later."

"busy?"

Hearing the voice behind him, Qin Ming, who was thinking about something, almost turned around and punched the man. Fortunately, he withdrew his attack in time after seeing who it was.

"Director Liu, it's so early."

Because there were some documents that he hadn't finished reading yesterday, Liu Xin got up early, took out his key, opened the door of the Government Affairs Office, and invited Qin Ming in: "Come in if you have anything to say. I happen to have some time."

Glancing at the clean hall, Qin Ming hid the corner of his blood-stained clothes with some embarrassment: "Forget it, I won't go in with this bloody smell on me. I came here just to talk about the conflict between Qi Shao and the hunting team in the square in front of the gate this morning.

Haha, it’s not a big deal, I just think they seem to have some misunderstanding about the hunting team.”

Qin Ming didn't want to continue communicating with Liu Xin because Qi Shao, Wei Ying and Liu Xin were all a group of people who came to the shelter. As a representative of the new team, it was difficult for Liu Xin to remain impartial in this matter.

However, he underestimated Liu Xin's seriousness and was dragged into the hall by him without noticing: "Come in, I have to take care of this!"
