Starting with a Spaceship in an Apocalyptic World
Chapter 65: The Seed of Rebellion

Chapter 65: The Seed of Rebellion

Ah?

Most people were immediately perplexed upon hearing that.

They didn’t even know what they thought about the spaceship!

Just that it was a safe place, where they could leave their families protected — and that alone was enough.

"What do you mean? Isn’t the spaceship made up of generous and fair people, trying to make the world better by sending us to hunt zombies?" a young man shouted from afar.

Although it sounded naive, those words made countless people scratch their heads.

Really... it seems like this spaceship is generous!

Think with me: what does the spaceship gain by letting them live in it?

Just those useless energetic cores!

For most common people, who still don’t know about the evolutionaries and much less about the function of the energetic cores, it’s normal to think that way.

"That kid is right! The spaceship is truly kind and gives shelter to those who are willing to fight for the country! More importantly: to fight for the human race!"

"Exactly! Think with me, the spaceship gains nothing from sheltering us! It’s nothing more than the desire to help end the zombies!"

Hearing the prestige of the spaceship grow more and more, Xu Anguo didn’t intervene.

On the contrary, even a smile formed on his face.

The higher they place the spaceship... the greater the fall will be!

After some time of discussion, seeing that the prestige of the spaceship had reached its peak, Xu Anguo immediately spoke. "Fair people? Haha!"

"This spaceship is nothing more than countless people using us as labor to obtain energetic cores," Xu Anguo grabbed an energetic core. "You see this energetic core? You think it’s useless?"

Originally, upon hearing the first part, some people wanted to stand up and defend the spaceship, but the second part made them stay quiet.

They also became curious to find out what Xu Anguo was going to say.

"These energetic cores can make those who have awakened powers even stronger!" Xu Anguo continued passionately. "And we give all of that to the spaceship, in exchange for what? Food?"

"Something extremely valuable! Even gold, before the apocalypse, wouldn’t be this valuable... and we’re just handing it over like this?"

Xu Anguo’s words left everyone confused.

Powers?

"What are you talking about? What nonsense is this?"

"Yeah, is this guy crazy? Damn it! I wasted my time listening to a lunatic!"

Noticing that people were about to leave, Xu Anguo quickly began to explain everything.

Talents... evolutionaries... even the energetic cores. He didn’t hide anything at all.

This immediately sparked a heated discussion.

"Does that really exist? Don’t joke with me!"

"Now that I think about it, it really seems to be true... I once saw someone conjure fire, from far away where I was. But since I was hungry, I thought it was just an illusion!"

"Now that you mentioned it, I’ll say it too... I saw someone who could control lightning! But I didn’t tell anyone. I thought they would think I was crazy!"

The conversation progressed, and immediately most people basically believed in the existence of powers.

"You still think the spaceship is full of fair people?" Xu Anguo shouted again.

This time, people immediately fell silent. Most were lost in thought.

But the naive young man appeared again.

"What do you mean? They are still the ones who gave us shelter!"

"Alright, you explained the function of the energetic cores... But now, how is that going to change our lives?"

"You yourself said that only those who awaken the so-called ’talents’ can absorb the energetic cores. And we can’t, even though the people from there can."

"We need shelter and they need energetic cores. It’s a fair trade! How is the spaceship not fair?"

Most people still agreed with the young man’s words.

But... no one stepped forward to support him.

Even if it were true, now that they knew the function of the energetic core, it was undeniable that thoughts were beginning to arise.

Mainly... if they could also refine them.

Even if they couldn’t refine the energetic cores, the price should go up now, right?

"Haha, a fair trade?" Xu Anguo laughed angrily. "We leave the spaceship, risk our lives every single day, and make the people on the ship stronger and stronger!"

"And what do we get in return?"

"Just enough to live... not to survive!"

"As if that wasn’t enough, they don’t offer any guarantee for the future... How can we live like this? You probably have wives, daughters, or even elderly parents on the spaceship!"

"Have you stopped to think that, if one day you die, what will happen to your families? They won’t be able to afford the energetic cores... and they’ll be kicked out!"

"So what’s the point of everything we do? For what? What’s the meaning? We just make them stronger, while we don’t even receive the basics we need?"

This...

After that passionate speech from Xu Anguo, only silence remained.

Absolute silence over the entire soccer field.

It’s undeniable to say that this speech touched everyone’s heart at that moment.

Even people who didn’t have families began to think about themselves... and about their futures.

What will happen in the future?

Imagine they manage to survive, kill zombies, and keep living... and then? What comes next?

At sixty years old... will they still have to go out and kill zombies?

At the end of their lives... when their bodies are fragile, will they be destined to die in the mouth of a zombie?

Then, countless roars echoed throughout the entire soccer field.

But... they weren’t from zombies; they were from people with emotions running high!

"You’re right! We want rights!"

"We want rights!"

"We want rights!"

However, what no one noticed was that, during Xu Anguo’s speech, sound waves that could not be heard were being emitted throughout the field.

The source?

He was quietly standing in the middle of the crowd. His name was Chen Huanye!

From the palm of his hand, a sound wave began to spread, making people more sensitive and more likely to act based on emotions. And Xu Anguo’s speech intensified it even more.
