The Devouring Genius of a Destroyed World

Im Chan barely managed to hold his composure, but his stomach churned unpleasantly.

The pungent smell of marijuana mixed with the stench of filth made the air almost unbearable.

Having confirmed the existence of drugs in the camp, he decided there was no need to push further.

“My daughter’s having a hard time. Let’s step outside,” he said.

“Of course, sir! Right this way!”@@novelbin@@

Once outside, Im Chan patted Ji-hyo’s back gently to help her calm down before addressing the man.

“I noticed some people smoking earlier... Is tobacco being distributed here?”

“Oh, no, sir,” the man replied. “It’s a means of control for certain troublemakers among the slaves—those who attempt escape or incite rebellion.”

According to the man, these individuals were forcibly made to inhale the substance and then provided with regular doses to maintain dependency. As the addiction deepened, the distribution schedule of the drug was used to control their actions.

Im Chan was left speechless, shocked by the inhumane explanation.

Noticing his reaction, the man hesitated before clasping his hands together and cautiously asking, “By any chance… are you interested in the drugs, sir?”

The misunderstanding was so absurd that Im Chan momentarily forgot how to respond.

The man, however, continued talking.

“Let me be frank, sir. The camp leader doesn’t take kindly to Awakened individuals using drugs.”

Intrigued and appalled, Im Chan listened as the man elaborated.

According to him, Oh Jong-hyuk restricted drug usage to the slave population only.

“Dog food isn’t meant for humans, after all.”

Hearing this quote attributed to Oh Jong-hyuk sent a wave of searing rage through Im Chan, rendering his mind blank for a moment.

It took him a few seconds to recognize the overwhelming emotion he was experiencing—profound anger unlike anything he had ever felt before.

Im Chan’s hands trembled involuntarily as his body reacted to the sheer audacity of it all.
