Cruelty

As we arrived at the center of this enclosed world, towering walls made of stone greeted us. 

Beyond the walls, a massive open gate revealed what appeared to be a small town sprawling within.

It came to me that this location wasn't solely inhabited by Zol Clan members; there were also a lot of humans present. 

In fact, just beyond the wall, along the street, I observed only a handful of Zol Clan members, while the majority were all humans in modern but rugged clothing. 

And there was something unsettling about them; their eyes held no spark of life, as if they had surrendered all hope and were merely going through the motions. 

"I thought the Zol Clan hates humans?" Shao Mi asked, clearly surprised by what she was seeing.

They were notorious for treating humans even worse than livestock, known as serial killers who had terrorized humanity for ages, and had brought forth multiple apocalyptic events.
